Chapter 200 Conflict breaks out

The next day, because they had already bought fuel and had a preliminary understanding of Lebion, it was not as unfamiliar as when they first arrived yesterday, so the group relaxed a little.

"Should we leave, or stay here for a while?" The group discussed.

"I want to get some funds, but I feel that it will be a lot of trouble." Gu Luo put his hands behind his head and leaned back in the chair.

"The red hat yesterday looked like he was going to cause trouble, but I don't think he is reliable, especially after understanding the strength of the two major groups."

"It is unwise to involve ourselves in the fight between the two parties in order to make some money. Besides, we are not real mercenaries. What if we really kill someone when we do this kind of death fight?"

"That's a little bit." Although Jin Senke likes to do something exciting, he is not completely irrational.

"Ask Tilan?" The black-haired girl was still asleep.

"Well, although we don't easily get involved in the fight between the two parties, this is indeed a good place to collect intelligence. Today, we can go to other places to ask if there are any opportunities in other places in the North Second District."

Several people discussed for a while, and then started breakfast. At this time, Tilan also came up from the first floor. She was wearing a dark blue skirt today.

"Here." Ruby put the hot oatmeal in front of the girl.

"Thank you, Ruby." Then she picked up the spoon and ate it in small bites.

"Just now, everyone discussed today's itinerary. What does Tilan think?" Ruby asked.

"What do you think..." The girl stirred the oatmeal in the bowl while recalling the intelligence she learned from all parties yesterday.

She shook her head and said, "The two parties are probably going to go to war, so we won't get involved."

"Replenish the supplies this morning and leave in the afternoon. If it takes too long, I'm afraid that Masiza will come again."

"Well, okay." Although they didn't see the good show, it was indeed a wise move not to get involved for their own safety.

The group decided to do so and arranged today's itinerary.

However, things changed faster than they imagined. Perhaps there were many conflicts that had accumulated, or perhaps they had reached the critical point of breaking out recently. At 10 a.m., they heard an explosion in the distance and the sound of pedestrians running in panic on the street.

Soon, a whistling jet sound crossed the sky, and everyone saw several crimson mechas running across the abandoned roof in the distance. Their legs were slightly bent, and the hydraulic bouncing device at the joints helped them jump. Then orange-red air flow gushed out from the jet port on the back, carrying the mechas to the next high-rise building.

Bright flames rang out from the machine gun on the shoulder of the mecha, and the rotating barrel burst out hot bullets, sweeping across the houses in the distance like a torrential rain. In the flames, a rocket was fired from the inside of the house, hitting the crimson mecha that was standing and shooting. However, after the explosion, the surface of the mecha was still intact except for some more charred marks.

"Is this the mecha of 'Iron Burning Energy'? It's very powerful." Ximu sighed as he looked at the scene in the distance.

"If a Sequence 4 driver has the assistance of a mecha, he can easily defeat multiple Transcendents of the same level. Even when facing a Sequence 5 Transcendent, he can still maintain a certain advantage." Allen analyzed with the help of the scanning device on his glasses.

"It looks like an old model of a fourth-level mecha. Although it is a bit backward, it is still a bit exciting to see the scene of the mecha fighting with my own eyes." The Federation has been peaceful for many years. Even if there are occasional public security incidents, it is not the turn of mechas to suppress them. Soldiers equipped with general exoskeleton armor are enough. "

Let's go. Take advantage of this chaos. It will be too late if we don't leave now." Ximu got on the driver's seat and asked his companions to sit down. Today, N also sat in the co-pilot seat to monitor the situation.

The truck started again, drove out of the parking lot, and rushed out to the passage on the side.

Along the way, people could be heard running in panic, and occasionally there were gunshots. After driving through several sections of the road, a closed checkpoint suddenly appeared at the intersection ahead. A group of people wearing black protective clothing stood guard at the intersection with guns, not allowing people to pass through at will.

"Should we stop?" someone asked, but everyone knew that if they stopped now, it would be difficult to move forward later.

"Don't stop." Tilan shook her head, holding the seat to the driver's seat, looking at the scene in the distance.

The people guarding the intersection saw the truck coming quickly, shouted to stop, and pointed their guns at it. They had black hammer gear logos on their shoulders, and they looked like members of 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry'.

"What a trouble." The girl covered her forehead lightly. She didn't want to do it, but now she couldn't.

A series of bullets hit the windshield. Although they did not penetrate, they also brought various spider-web-like cracks. Then, as they continued to shoot, a burst of frost spread from their feet, freezing the group of people. Then, several compressed air currents rushed past, clearing the road.

After driving out of this intersection, Guluo and Valk on the roof of the car stopped slightly. It was just the two of them who took action to open the frozen people.

The truck continued to move forward, but as it moved forward, more and more black-clad people appeared on the street. At this time, everyone slowly realized that they might have chosen the wrong direction to leave the city. This might be the base camp of "Black Hammer Heavy Industry".

Sure enough, two black steel mechas appeared in front of the road. They were like giant beasts half-crouching on the ground, with heavy black steel armor. Their heads were rectangular, and orange indicator lights flashed from time to time. On their shoulders were thick gun barrels, and the edges of the gun barrels could even see the clear spiral guiding veins.

The hot energy light gradually lit up in the barrel, and then a thick stream of particles rushed across the street and brushed against the speeding truck.

In a hurry, N twisted the steering wheel with one hand, then stepped on Xi Mu's instep with the other foot, and suddenly pressed the accelerator, causing the vehicle to change direction instantly, avoiding most of the shooting of the particle stream, and only the side part was attacked at a small angle.

The high-temperature heat flow melted one side of the car body, and then the melted part fell off, exposing the inside of the car body. During the shaking, several people had to hold on to the firmware in the car tightly to avoid being thrown out of the car.

After driving out of the road, the truck was facing the strafing of armed personnel with guns. Various craters began to appear on the car body. After the swaying car body broke various benches, fountains, sundries and garbage cans, it finally avoided the street with the black mecha and entered the alley on the side.

"Get ready to jump out of the car! There is a dead end ahead." N shouted from the car, and then the members in the car also took action.

Valk and Guluo, who were originally on the roof, jumped out first, and then the members on the first floor also flipped out from the burnt side. On the contrary, it was not so convenient for those on the second floor and in the cab.

Shelian took out his plasma short blade and quickly cut a hole in the car wall, then kicked out and jumped out with several people on the second floor. Finally, it was the driver's cab. N locked the steering wheel, then smashed the strong windshield with his elbow, and jumped out with Ximu.

The remaining black-haired girl Tilan looked at the broken front window, then opened the side door of the driver's cab and jumped down lightly. Soon the car body continued to move forward and crashed into the wall in the blind spot, making a loud noise, shaking off many objects, and finally stopped.

Just as everyone was thinking about whether to take the remaining objects from the car, a sound of footsteps came from behind.

"They went in, catch them." "From the sound, they should be from 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry'."

Time was running out, and the group had to climb over the blind spot of the alley under the leadership of N and go to the other side to find a way out.

Facing a three-meter-high wall, the students of the Edes Academy were all Transcendents with good qualifications and abilities, and could easily cross it. However, the pursuers behind them could not do so. Although they had guns, their strength was only Sequence 1 and Sequence 2. They had to use tools to climb over it, which took a lot of time. By the time they reached the other side of the alley, the group had already gone far away.

Away from the area controlled by Black Hammer Heavy Industries, the group followed the escape route of the local residents and unknowingly came to the vicinity of the bar yesterday. This place happened to be located on the north side of the city, but was sandwiched between Black Hammer and Fen Tie.

Because of the chaotic situation, the bar was closed today, and many of the original staff inside were looking for a way out.

"Hey, this way." Just as everyone was thinking about how to leave the city, a familiar shout came, and then Ruby saw the short man hiding in a corner of the street and waving at everyone.

"Follow me." Seeing everyone following, he led the group through twists and turns to a bungalow, then opened the basement behind the house and took everyone to hide in it.

The space in the basement is not very large, and you can even see compacted soil and stones inside. It can be seen that this basement was dug out later, not before.

Pulling open a hidden interlayer of the wall, Red Hat led a few people to continue forward, through the dark passage, and continued to go down until there was some light in front of them, and the group walked out.

The air here is very humid, and there is a slightly unpleasant smell in the air. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of dripping water. It should be part of the underground sewer in the city.

A large hole was dug out on the side wall, and the inside was hollowed out to form a room, and there was already someone inside.

"Boss, what are you doing?" The three people inside were very curious when they saw Red Hat bringing a group of strangers.

"Our partners, hehe." He smiled, then turned around and introduced to the group.

"Welcome to my secret base, this is my underground kingdom, don't worry, whether it is Black Hammer or Fen Iron, they can't find this place."

"This is really an accident." Gu Luo said that things in the world are unpredictable.

"Go blow up our car, I must get revenge." Thinking of the electromagnetic gun he carefully bought and DIYed in the car, Jin Senke felt a pain in his heart.

"Hey, is this Mr. Red Hat's base? It seems very simple." Ruby looked around. There was indeed nothing worth praising here. Not only was the air underground smelly, but the guns hanging on the walls were also very rough and simple, as if they were temporarily made and assembled.

"Although it is simple, my dream is not limited to this. I want to end the two major gangs and become the king of Lebion." Standing on the box, Red Hat finally gained the height advantage and announced loudly. Although it looked a bit funny, his voice was particularly firm, which made the younger brothers behind him admire him.

"The boss is the strongest!"

"We are the ones who end chaos!" A scattered cheer rang out.

This man is quite provocative, the girl silently commented in her heart.

There is a kind of people in the world, you can call them arrogant or conceited, but they always have an inexplicable self-confidence. Even if they have nothing and have no achievements before, they still say that they will definitely succeed in the future. This inexplicable self-confidence is actually very deceptive, because people will subconsciously think that those who are particularly confident are probably really capable or have the ability, so they believe them.

For the time being, they settled down with the help of this underground base, and everyone was not in a hurry to go out, because the fighting on the ground was fierce at this time, and the armed personnel and mechas of both sides were impacting each other. Going out casually would only become a target for both sides.

"Why did the fight suddenly break out?" After finding a place to sit down, Allen was quite puzzled. He felt that everything in the city was normal yesterday. Although there was some hostility between the two sides, it would not break out so quickly.

"That's naturally because of my great decision." The red hat sat on a tall box, one foot on the bench, and introduced complacently.

"I asked someone to blow up an oil depot of 'Fen Tie Energy' last night. Now they have no choice but to move."

"This? Why do you want to do this suddenly?"

"Of course the time is right. Do you think I'm just bragging? Do you think I'm alone?" The man in the red hat pinched the wrinkled brim of his hat.

"No, no, no, I have a lot of people behind me. The small base you saw today is just the tip of the iceberg."

"I have people at 'Fen Tie Energy', people at 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry', and I have spies in the bar. There is nothing in the city that I don't know." He continued to introduce himself.

"In fact, I have been waiting for the opportunity until you showed up yesterday, which finally allowed me to collect the last piece of the puzzle, so I took action immediately."

"But we haven't agreed to cooperate with you yet." Allen looked up at the man sitting on the high ground.

"No, you will agree." After saying that, he jumped down.

"Is there any harm in cooperating with me? If I win, you will get a lot of wealth from the two groups, enough for you to live the most extravagant life for ten years. If you save a little, you will have no problem for the rest of your life. Why do you refuse such cooperation? I have never seen anyone who would not make money."

"As for the risks, I will take all the risks. I have done the investigations before, the various preparations in the middle, and so on. You only need to wait for a few days and follow me to reap the benefits. Why don't you participate?"

"I really can't think of a reason for you to refuse."

"But..." Allen always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words.

"But you didn't tell us the whole truth." Tilan stepped forward and shook his head to question.

"What kind of final harvest do you mean? What kind of enemies are we going to face? Those mechas? And the things you promised are all from the enemy. You didn't actually spend a penny. Even if you fail, you are probably prepared and can easily escape. We have to stay and bear the consequences and become your scapegoats."

"Although your remarks seem arrogant, you actually have everything prepared. You can say that you got something for nothing. You even found a victim after your failure." They

are young and powerful, and there are several girls with outstanding looks in the middle. They attract much more attention than this 'Red Hat'. If it were 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry' and 'Fentie Energy', they would definitely give priority to catching them.

"So, Mr. Red Hat, we cannot accept your words."

Good evening. I have been stuck on writing for a long time and finally typed it out
