Silicon Invasion

"Tian Junli is in danger!"

"Not necessarily, they've only just started."

"That last exchange required very high hand speed. The opponent isn't just posing; they actually have some skill."

"Indeed, Swift Rainbow is a mech for bullying newbies. Once the opponent's level isn't low, the mech has some disadvantages."

"That's not certain. The disadvantage is in comparison to mechs of the same generation. Compared to third-generation mechs, there's no disadvantage at all."

"That's true, but the result will be out soon. Just watch calmly."

Swift Rainbow's speed was too fast. It wasn't until it had rushed out more than thirty meters that it regained its balance with the help of multiple small thrusters. At this time, Warrior 7 had already charged towards it.

However, Swift Rainbow's speed was indeed unmatched by Warrior 7. The main thrusters on its shoulders and skirt armor were fully activated, allowing it to fly three meters above the ground in a large circle, widening the distance between the two again.

Warrior 7 didn't have this kind of high technology. Luo Rui could only watch Swift Rainbow leave.

"They can fly!"

He could only comfort himself like this.

Fortunately, it wasn't that disgusting pure ranged fire high-mobility mech. Otherwise, Warrior 7 could only be a target, and only have a chance of winning after exhausting the opponent's ammunition.

With a mech like Swift Rainbow, Luo Rui didn't believe it wouldn't come closer.

Since he couldn't catch up, Luo Rui simply stopped moving, responding to all changes with constancy, watching Tian Junli perform.

"Little Tian isn't discouraged; he wants to try Flash again."

"Flash is a sure-kill move against silicon-based beasts, but it's not very useful against mech pilots of the same level."

"Indeed, this move isn't as lethal as a straightforward axe attack; it can only deal with those with clumsy hands."

"He's still young, unable to save face, wanting to get up where he fell, not knowing that sometimes he'll only fall even harder."

"Is that kid really a high school student?"

"He's right there; could it be fake?"

"This kid has some talent; his hand speed might even be higher than ours."

"Are you kidding me!"

"It's true. His movements just now were obviously very raw; this is a sign of a lack of practice. He probably encountered Flash for the first time in actual combat."

"That's right, he's just relying on hand speed and reaction to fight."

"I think you guys are overblowing it…"

The audience outside the arena expressed their opinions, and after Luo Rui demonstrated his strength, some changes occurred.

The two inside the arena, through a brief exchange, also figured out a bit about each other's strengths and weaknesses.

In the game of ace mech pilots, which relies heavily on operation, many things can't be hidden. Through some details, it's easy to judge whether the opponent is a master or a newbie.

At this time, Tian Junli also felt that things were a bit tricky. He originally thought, what ability could a high school student have? So he chose the newbie-bullying Swift Rainbow, planning to end the battle with a handsome "Flash" and show his strength to those teammates, but now he was in a difficult situation.

Not believing in fate, he decided to try again.

After widening the distance, Swift Rainbow ejected a launcher from its shoulder. With "bang, bang" sounds, several smoke bombs were launched. The smoke bombs, like oversized soda cans, landed around Warrior 7, and thick fog overflowed as they bounced.

This was a special smoke bomb, containing a very special metal inside, with a certain magnetism, able to automatically adhere to metal, and could be detected by corresponding target radar.

Although this configuration wasn't exclusive to Swift Rainbow, many fourth-generation models had this configuration, and second and third-generation models could also be retrofitted, but unfortunately, this was a paid service.

Obviously, Luo Rui, who was short on cash, couldn't buy this service.

In this way, the smoke became a one-way blockade. Swift Rainbow could scan the general outline of Warrior 7, while Warrior 7 was troubled by the smoke.

Since he had closed 70% of the observation systems just now, Luo Rui's vision was limited. Fortunately, the smoke also prevented Swift Rainbow from achieving precise lock-on. The systems that had just been closed were all turned on again, but they were of limited help to the current situation.

With the enemy in the dark and him in the light, staying still was a target. Therefore, Luo Rui controlled the mech to take big steps, doing irregular running movements, trying to put pressure on the opponent's operation as much as possible.

Ninjas even need Sharingan to lock on when playing with Raikiri, and controlling a mech is much more difficult than controlling one's own body. Constant adjustments mean a lot of operations. Tian Junli really felt the pressure.

The smoke bomb covered a large area. Luo Rui felt that he had run one or two hundred meters, and the surrounding area was still shrouded in smoke. The radar had completely lost lock on the enemy mech five seconds ago, making him somewhat passive now.

The feeling of adrenaline surge came, the taste of iron rust was felt in the mouth, the unusually excited brain was running at high speed, the sounds of various instruments seemed to drag out a trailing sound, and various lights slowed down their rhythm like breathing…

Time seemed to be lengthened.

It's there!

It's coming!

In this special state, Luo Rui felt ample time, and his intuition was extra sharp. The information fed back by the observation system, even a slightly different curve, was immediately captured by him.

Steel thorns popped out from under Warrior 7's feet, and the grip was instantly maximized. The steel skeleton made an unpleasant creaking sound due to the sudden stop, but fortunately it was limited to this and was not damaged.

Swift Rainbow swept past in front of Warrior 7 at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the smoke again. It wasn't until this time that the hurricane brought up by it dispersed the mist a little, but it immediately closed again.

Although he didn't see the shadow of that chain sword, Luo Rui knew that Swift Rainbow had missed again.

Flash failed!

But it wasn't good to passively endure all the time. Since the last time he experienced the life-and-death crisis of encountering Black Wolf, Luo Rui felt that his adrenaline often came out to find a sense of existence. Its appearance would stimulate this special state, but every time it subsided, his spirit would be depressed for a short time.

Luo Rui didn't know when this state would end; he couldn't control it, but he knew that being listless in battle was not a good thing. He had to make a quick decision.

Fortunately, he had already collected some data just now.

Experience is discovered and accumulated in actual combat. This is true. When the information fed back by the observation system showed that slightly familiar value again, Warrior 7 moved ahead of time.

Stop, sidestep, rotate, reach out!

Mechs don't have tactile sense. Luo Rui just tentatively reached out and grabbed in the direction where Swift Rainbow was, not knowing if he could grab anything.

Before the observation system had time to feed back the result, Warrior 7 suddenly shook, and then was pulled forward by a huge force.

The alarm sound of the mech losing control resounded through the cockpit.

Damn it!

He really caught something!

An optical observation device on the shoulder showed a blurry image through the mist.

Swift Rainbow was flying about five meters above the ground, and Warrior 7 happened to grab its ankle.

It really was a coincidence. Luo Rui smiled slyly, he was very much looking forward to the outcome of an assassin being grabbed by the ankle by a warrior.
