Chapter 59 Enemy But I don’t want to be your medicine anymore…
Time seemed to be frozen at this moment.
Inside the transparent mecha, Ji He, wearing a black combat suit, seemed to be thinner than before.
But whatever.
The fact that he was still alive was enough to make Huo Yubai happy.
Colonel Huo blinked his eyes, and the originally black and white world suddenly became colorful, spreading out bit by bit, as if a dream had come true.
In the mist, that silvery-white figure was so familiar.
Ji He's heart skipped a beat the moment he raised his eyes, as if his heart had recognized Huo Yubai before he did.
Even if a thousand silver mechas were placed in front of him, he would never make a mistake and would know clearly who was inside the silver blade mecha.
Ji He's emotions couldn't stop surging, his chest rose and fell with his deep breaths, and he couldn't calm down.
He watched the silver blade mecha rushing towards him, and Michael's voice rang out again on our channel.
"Ji He, I'm still waiting for your pledge of allegiance."
Beta came to his senses almost instantly. He had not yet completed his mission, nor had he gained Michael's trust.
The way home was within reach, but he would do no good to the Union Army by siding with them now.
He must find a way to dismantle the armed forces of the Andromeda Galaxy.
Now, I can't let my emotions get the better of me. I can only continue to lie low.
He lowered his voice and replied, "Okay."
The transparent mecha stretched out its arms, releasing a huge beam of energy, facing the silver blade mecha that was flying towards it.
Perhaps because of his trust in Ji He, or perhaps for other reasons, Colonel Huo didn't even open his energy shield and just went straight forward to meet the enemy.
Ji He frowned slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the energy beam became even larger, directly blocking the two mechas.
He couldn't see Colonel Huo, but the silver blade mecha in front of him moved without any hesitation, approaching him inch by inch as if it could not feel the vibration.
Sparks flew.
The transparent mecha ignited the thrusters under its feet and punched out a powerful shock wave.
At the same time, Michael's voice was heard on the public channel.
"Didn't the colonel say that everyone is his enemy?"
In the smoke and light, the Silver Blade Mech took the blow and was forced back several meters. One of its legs half-knelt on the ground, making a muffled sound.
That kneeling was engraved in Ji He's eyes.
"This kneeling posture is not very beautiful."
Michael chuckled twice and continued to tease, "If you don't know, you would think you are proposing."
A dark green mecha turned around, and Xu Tianyang saw Ji He in the transparent mecha. He opened his mouth wide and said subconsciously: "Instructor... Instructor."
Not far away, the Silver Blade Mech stood up again, with a dark gray scratch on its silver-white knee.
Colonel Huo seemed to turn a deaf ear to such ridicule, his eyes fixed on Ji He in the transparent mecha.
"Jihe."
"Come back to me."
The man's low voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of pleading, but it was the best that the Alpha could convey at this moment.
When Ji He heard this, he felt that he had been deceived by the colonel again.
Why did he feel that the colonel's voice was trembling, and even aggrieved?
He must have heard it wrong.
Ever since that time when "the walls have ears" and he clearly heard the other party's thoughts, he has realized that he is not a very important person to Huo Yubai.
This subtle illusion is probably just my own wishful thinking.
Ji He shook his head and frowned slightly, as if he was mocking his own arrogance.
The pure white mecha quickly moved to the side of the transparent mecha, and dark blue flames shot out from its shoulders, forming a circle around it.
"Colonel Huo, have you forgotten that Ji He is no longer your follower?"
The Alpha in the Silver Blade Mech pursed his lips slightly, obviously not agreeing with Omega's statement.
The next second, no one expected Xu Tianyang to rush into the fire circle and shout loudly: "Instructor!"
"It's really the instructor!"
Then, the steel mechas driven by Cheng Zhi and Li Ran also rushed in, and also saw Ji He in the transparent mecha.
"Instructor Ji!"
From beginning to end, Ji He said nothing and just had a cold face.
How could he gain Michael's trust and let the federal military know that he had not really rebelled?
Ji He glanced at the huge steel mecha indifferently and placed his hopes on Cheng Zhi, who was always reliable.
The dark grey mecha fired hundreds of tracking bullets, chasing the surrounding dark green mechas, like a hyena that was determined to take a bite of meat, which was very annoying.
For a moment, there was the crackling sound of tracking bombs exploding.
Never mind, let’s give it a try first.
Beta blinked heavily and spoke the first sentence.
"Metis and I betrayed the Federation."
Huo Yubai's expression changed slightly, the Silver Blade Mecha paused in its counterattack, and then continued to fight.
The iron giant closest to the pure white mecha released an energy net, tightly entangling Michael.
As soon as the words fell, Li Ran was the first to explode, shouting: "Instructor, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Come over here quickly."
Just now, he and Cheng Zhi saw the transparent mecha attacking the silver blade mecha. They wanted to help Colonel Huo, but they also wanted to know who the enemy was that could not even resist the silver blade.
No one would have thought that the person in the transparent mecha would be Ji He who had "resurrected from the dead".
This sudden joy did not last long before I heard such a cold statement.
It's like a person who has just been released from prison is suddenly sentenced to death.
Although Li Ran did not know about the relationship between the two as early as Cheng Zhi, he followed Colonel Huo to the Icefield Star and saw Alpha falling asleep while holding Instructor Beta's military uniform more than once.
Although Li Ran is not very open about emotions, he is not stupid. Considering Cheng Zhi's hesitation several times, he should know most of the things.
"What are you talking about!"
Li Ran was obviously shocked by this sentence, and the pure white mecha took the opportunity to break a hole in the energy network.
"I'm Beta. I'm only a staff sergeant in the federal military. I haven't even become a sergeant major."
"Am I worse than you Alphas? Just because I'm a Beta, should I be forever unknown and insignificant?"
Cheng Zhi felt that the words sounded familiar and he reacted quickly. A different possibility arose in his mind and his eyes lit up.
Xu Tianyang looked at the blazing flames and heard what Ji He said.
His brain wasn't as quick as Cheng Zhi's, but he had a vague feeling that the instructor must have his own difficulties.
"careful!"
The leg jets of the pure white mecha were ignited, and it rushed to the front of the iron mecha, grabbed the opponent's head fiercely, and threw the giant to the ground.
The mental coordination of the two-person mecha is extremely important. Li Ran's distraction reduced the reaction speed of this steel mecha a lot, which led to his failure.
Two dark gray mechas equipped with strong gravity waves emitted dazzling light, attacking Cheng Zhi and Li Ran from the front and back, pressing the iron giant so hard that he could hardly stand up.
A strong light emanated from the chest of the pure white mecha, and the light beam gathered into a huge energy ball, which was thrown towards the direction of the iron mecha.
The shock wave produced by the explosion was so large that it directly forced the dark green mecha driven by Xu Tianyang back out of the circle of fire.
Cheng Zhi reached out and pushed Li Ran next to him, shouting, "Li Ran!"
Li Ran concentrated and took a deep breath, then together with Cheng Zhi, deployed the energy shield of the steel mecha to protect the key parts of the mecha.
A silver light flashed by.
It turned out that the Silver Blade Mech rushed to the front of the Iron Giant at an incredible speed, and the unfolded light and shadow phantom shield eliminated most of the damage.
"Ji He, I don't care what's on your mind, I'm going to take you back."
The Silver Blade Mech slowly retracted its Light and Shadow Shield. Its performance just now was truly the strength that a battle-hardened S-class Alpha should have.
Ji He's heart trembled slightly. Even though he was ready to sacrifice himself, he was still moved by the other party's words.
He concealed all his emotions and said calmly, "Is the colonel's illness still not healed?"
"But I don't want to be your medicine anymore."
Huo Yubai looked at the other person's strange eyes, his voice became a little hoarse, and he said with difficulty: "It's not like that."
"I have seen through your hypocrisy and exploitation. I have already died once for this. I don't want to live for you again."
The sudden heartache hit Alpha's chest hard, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He never wanted to take advantage of Ji He.
Never.
"Colonel, please treat me as your enemy."
The transparent mecha surged with invisible energy and rushed towards the silver blade mecha.
The jets on the wrists of the Silver Blade Mech were ignited, and it quickly soared into the air before diving down at high speed.
The huge sword of light cut through the ground, and flames and explosions were heard everywhere.
The surrounding dark grey low-level combat mechas had no way to retreat and were surrounded by circles of flames.
The pure white mecha activated its rocket launcher, spinning at high speed in the air while blocking the silver blade mecha with small missiles.
"Colonel, don't you understand?"
Michael spoke with a hint of mockery. It seemed like it was the first time he saw Huo Yubai looking stunned, and he felt a strange kind of happiness in his heart.
Although Li Ran likes to be weird, he hates it when others talk to him like that. He was about to act impulsively, but luckily Cheng Zhi held him back.
"Bang--"
The fist of the silver blade mecha collided with the pure white mecha, and the huge energy wave exploded a series of sparks.
The number of dark green mechas is constantly decreasing, but Xu Tianyang has persisted until now.
Faced with such a tragic battle situation, Colonel Claude reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead and prayed that the support from the Glorious Legion would arrive quickly.
The sky went from bright to dim, then back to bright again.
"Sir, we have detected the Glorious Legion's mechas nearby."
Michael had not expected that the battle on Mars would be so difficult, and he was hesitating whether to leave.
Hearing the name of the Glorious Legion at this time would undoubtedly make Ji He feel at ease.
"withdraw."
The enemy mechas retreated quickly, and only the Silver Blade mecha chased after them. Halfway through, it was stopped by a dark blue fighter.
"Admiral Huo."
Huo Yingzhan frowned, looked at Huo Yubai, and asked, "Who are you going to chase?"
"Is it worth risking your life to chase down a traitor of the Federal Army?"
"Nonsense!"
