Chapter 18 Counterattack

The falling missiles froze in mid-air, unable to move an inch, as if grabbed by an invisible hand.

The Generation IV mech, K瓦希兹 (K瓦希兹), then flung its hands open, letting out a tremendous roar.

"Roar!"

In an instant, all the dark mass of missiles were sent back, impacting the walls of Qi Long Zhi Cheng (City of Praying Dragon).

Rumble~~

All the light beam cannons on the walls of Qi Long Zhi Cheng (City of Praying Dragon) were blown to smithereens.

The Generation IV mech, K瓦希兹 (K瓦希兹), then crouched down, like preparing for a long jump, and stomped its feet on the ground.

Boom~

The Generation IV mech, K瓦希兹 (K瓦希兹), shot out like a cannonball, appearing in front of the gates of Qi Long Zhi Cheng (City of Praying Dragon) in the blink of an eye, and smashed its fist against the thick gate.

Boom!

A huge tremor swept through.

The entire steel gate deformed, and cracks appeared in the surrounding walls.

The Generation IV mech, K瓦希兹 (K瓦希兹), raised its other hand and punched again...

Boom~~~

Seeing this scene, the players on the battlefield erupted, cheering and charging forward like madmen!

Long Ming waved his hand and issued an order.

"The heavy artillery positions open fire, covering the interior of Qi Long Zhi Cheng (City of Praying Dragon)! All units attack!"

Immediately, a rain of missiles and shells shot out, heading towards Qi Long Zhi Cheng (City of Praying Dragon).

The siege officially began...

.....

---------------------------------------------

In a pitch-black space, Su Mo's consciousness floated.

A prompt kept popping up in front of him.

"Accept Fire Seed resurrection?"

Su Mo waited patiently, not wanting to revive yet. Who knew if that mech had gone far? It would be tragic to revive immediately and run into it again.

Time passed slowly.

Inside the control room, Qian Chengxue watched Su Mo's avatar in standby mode, waiting for a long time, but he didn't revive or log off.

Finally, she sighed.

She mocked herself, realizing that she was still entertaining unrealistic fantasies. There would be no miracle.

Qian Chengxue raised her head and said to her sisters beside her.

"Notify everyone to prepare for a meeting. The company needs to make some strategic adjustments..."

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in disappointment.

"Yes."

.....

Seeing the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces, Qian Chengxue felt very uncomfortable. But she really had tried her best, so she perked up and comforted them.

"Don't be sad, everyone. We always have to look forward. Let's go!"

......

In the void, Su Mo estimated that enough time had passed, so he chose to accept resurrection.

In the northern part of the Qi Long (Praying Dragon) Plains, inside the damaged cockpit of the Blade of Slaughter mech, a Fire Seed floated up.

Suddenly, the Fire Seed transformed into a ray of light, enveloping Su Mo's damaged body, and floated upwards.

Then, Su Mo, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them. He looked at the destroyed Slaughter mech, and a look of horror appeared on his face. What kind of mech was that? It was too terrifying.

Coming back to his senses, Su Mo immediately took out another bottle of Fire Seed from his backpack. He climbed out of the damaged mech and rushed towards the Yuánmó (Salamander Demon) mech.

Soon, he climbed onto the Yuánmó (Salamander Demon) mech and entered the cockpit.

Seeing Qian Chengxue lying in a pool of blood, Su Mo felt a pang in his heart. Without hesitation, he opened the bottle and poured the Fire Seed onto her.

The Fire Seed turned into countless specks of light, falling into Qian Chengxue's body.

Inside the tenth building of Dawn Corporation, Qian Chengxue was leading everyone to the conference room.

As she walked, her phone suddenly vibrated.

She subconsciously took it out. Then, a special operations text message automatically opened and played a supremely pleasant voice.

"Dear Star Ring Pioneer, congratulations on returning to the Star Ring world, rekindling the flames of civilization. Star Ring will be with you. Please log into the game as soon as possible..."

Qian Chengxue's body trembled slightly.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

"Sister Xue has revived!"

"Who is so awesome?"

......

Inside the cockpit of the Yuánmó (Salamander Demon) mech, Su Mo watched Qian Chengxue with some nervousness. This area wasn't very safe. He muttered to himself.

"Why hasn't she logged in yet?"

At this moment, Qian Chengxue, who had been closing her eyes, slowly opened them. Su Mo's face came into view.

Her expression changed slightly, her eyes trembling slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. When I died, I clearly saw that mech rushing towards you with my last glimpse. How come you didn't die?"

"I did die, but I revived. I opened the Fire Seed bottle in advance."

Su Mo said with a wry smile. He didn't have the ability to escape that mech's attack.

"I see. So, that mech retreated after confirming our deaths."

Qian Chengxue nodded slightly.

"Yes, but the situation is still not good. Our weapons are destroyed, so I guess we won't be able to join up with Xiao Wen and the others."

Su Mo sighed. The situation had been too critical before. He hadn't thought too much, just focusing on how to save his life. Now that his life was saved, it seemed that the situation was still very bad.

"It doesn't matter. A poor life is better than a good death. Let's pack up and take whatever we can."

Qian Chengxue shook her head and said indifferently.

"Okay."

Su Mo turned around and prepared to get the tool bag.

"Wait~"

At this time, Qian Chengxue suddenly stopped Su Mo.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Su Mo turned around and asked.

"That, thank you."

Qian Chengxue hesitated for a moment, abandoning her usual coldness and said softly.

"Uh, it's nothing. I'll go first."

Su Mo was also stunned, then turned and left.

.........

In the blizzard, two thin figures advanced against the wind and snow.

Su Mo kept sneezing.

"Ah-choo~~"

The extremely cold temperature was a bit too much for Su Mo. Although he had evolved his Fire Seed, it was an all-rounder, not a single-body enhancement.

His tolerance was still limited.

The reason he hadn't felt cold before was because he had single-soldier mechanical armor, but now that the single-soldier mechanical armor was destroyed, it naturally couldn't function.

"Are you okay?"

Qian Chengxue stopped and turned to look at Su Mo.

"I'm fine."

Su Mo shook his head and replied, holding on.

"Let's find a place to take shelter from the blizzard."

Qian Chengxue thought for a moment and took the initiative to suggest. Actually, she had been enhanced with II-type genetic drugs. Even if her single-soldier mechanical armor was destroyed, the cold temperature wouldn't affect her much.

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded in agreement. In the low temperature, his stamina was dropping especially fast.

Qian Chengxue looked around and soon found a dense forest in the distance.

She raised her hand and pointed to the forest.

"Let's go there. Maybe we can find a place to avoid the blizzard, or at least make a fire."

"Okay."

Su Mo agreed.

The two changed direction and walked towards the forest against the wind and snow.

As the night gradually darkened, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue entered the forest. The trees here were indeed tall and lush.

It was a pity that they were all withered, only having their appearance, and their insides were rotten.

"Let's hide there."

Qian Chengxue quickly locked onto two large trees entwined together, which were suitable for temporarily sheltering from the wind and snow.

"Okay."

The two walked over. Su Mo squatted down directly, rubbing his hands and constantly exhaling.
