…
Without positioning, it is not easy to find Selina.
Because the distance was not far, and Alice and her companions were using a small warship which was very fast, they successfully entered the search area from the civilian area in just a few minutes.
Because the battleship was not painted black with the blood moon flag painted on it, and the mecha battleships used by the mercenaries hired by the rich organization in North Rio were also of various types, the two men who drove the battleship into the area did not encounter any attacks and were mistaken for being in the same group.
Alice and her partner drove a damaged small battleship to the explosion site to look for Selina.
During the search, both of them looked at a black blood moon mecha that was damaged in the explosion.
The mecha was kneeling on one knee on the ground, its other leg was severely severed, one arm was missing, and the remaining broken arm was supporting the ground to keep the mecha balanced. Its head was slightly tilted, looking in the direction of the slums.
Alice's eyes were red, she knew that the soldier in the mecha was dead. Because the cabin was not opened, the soldier inside obviously did not get out alive.
Her husband was one of these warriors. She didn't know whether he was still alive, and she didn't have time to worry about it. The most important thing now was to ensure the safety of Lady Selina.
Boom!
There was an explosion.
Along with the explosion, thick smoke blew onto my cheeks, and the temperature was incredibly hot.
At this time, the area was filled with screams of fear, and the mechas in the sky were still searching for survivors nearby.
Boom!
The dead body on the ground was blown into pieces by a shell, and the flesh flew into the air. Selina touched her cheek, and the blood was scratched by her thumb, leaving a bloody mark on her cheek.
Selina rushed to the street and was about to hide quickly in the dark alley when she suddenly heard a loud bang above her head. She looked up and saw a patrol mecha. With the help of the thermal vision device, the other party had obviously discovered her and was chasing her from a distance. The pupils of her eyes shrank instantly.
"Oh, it seems that I am lucky. There is a rat here." The mercenary driving the mecha proudly showed off to his companions in the communication.
Just as he was aiming and preparing to shoot, a mecha appeared in his field of vision with its gun raised, ready to shoot his prey. The mercenary said angrily: "Asshole, I saw him first!"
"Whoever shoots first gets the reward. Didn't you say that before?" Just as the other party was getting angry, a gloating voice sounded over the communication with a hint of laughter in the tone.
"Bang!" The laser gun shot out a beam of laser.
Selina immediately threw herself to the ground, trying to avoid the attack from the mecha on the left, but it was too late...
Boom!
There was an explosion, and the two lasers canceled each other out in the air, creating a huge spark and billowing smoke rolling upwards.
Selina was stunned.
"Shut up, you sissy!" The veins on the forehead of the mercenary who discovered Selina bulged. The mecha he was operating raised its arm and pointed at the mecha in the distance. The energy core of the laser gun in his hand gradually stopped working. It was obvious that he had fired the shot just now. He half-squinted his eyes, looked coldly at the mecha in the distance, and said, "Who dares to touch my prey?"
"Whoever grabs it first owns it." The driver of the mecha opposite was not afraid of him and spoke in a cold tone, obviously speaking up for the mercenary whose prey had been robbed before.
"boom--"
The two mechas collided with each other instantly in mid-air, and a missile fired by one of the white mechas hit the building next to it directly. With a loud explosion, the entire building was cut in half, falling to the left and crushing other buildings.
Boom!
The huge steel structure fell down and hit the ground hard, and the exposed steel bars on the surface penetrated directly into the ground.
"Fuck you, you want to kill me?!"
When Selina saw the two mechas collide, although she didn't know what happened, she immediately hid in a safe area. However, when she saw the collapsed building, her face fell.
The aftermath of the mecha battle alone was enough to take her life. She wanted to contact her subordinates as soon as possible, but the communication system was damaged after the mecha crashed.
The two mechas collided several times in the air. It was obvious that both sides were angry and were about to fight. A loud shout came from the communication, "Fuck, you two stop it!"
The air waves from the battle between the two mechas filled the sky with dust. If the two sides really fought, it would be difficult for them to search for the attackers nearby. One of the people who had just taken the trouble frowned slightly, glanced around, and whispered in the communication: "Stop fighting, the woman is gone."
…
Selina fled quickly and soon found a dark black mecha that had fallen to the ground. There was a red moon on the outer shell of the mecha. She rushed over as fast as she could and opened the cabin. The soldier in the cabin was already dead with a blood moon sleeve emblem on his arm.
After reaching out to close the soldier's eyes, Selina immediately used the communication to try to contact her people.
"Hey, hey..."
"Shit, is anyone there?"
Selina cursed, and the communication was just connected when the two mechas that were fighting fiercely not far away stopped fighting and began to search for anyone alive nearby.
Selina didn't have time to contact her people and could only quickly send out a coordinate. She didn't know whether the other party had discovered her, but for safety reasons, she could only hide immediately after sending out the coordinates.
Because of the thermal imaging device, any living thing can be quickly discovered. Selina didn't hide for long before she was discovered again.
Bang, bang, bang.
The sound of the mecha's footsteps landing became louder and louder. Selina, who was hiding in the wasteland, held the gun tightly in her hand. She knew that she might not be able to escape.
but……
Selina raised her head and looked out through the gap in the wasteland at the battle in the distant sky which had gradually subsided. She curled the corners of her lips slightly. Even if she died, the outcome of this battle had been decided. After all, they were not the only ones joining this battle!
As she thought of this, a mechanical arm grabbed a piece of broken stone slab in front of her and shattered it instantly with just a slight force.
A mecha stood outside, looking down at her as if it were a humble ant.
Selina's surroundings seemed to be closed, and she no longer had any hope in her heart. She raised her head and looked coldly at the mecha.
"Look what I found."
The soldier's voice rang out over the comms. After he finished speaking, he raised his weapon and aimed.
“Boom—”
There was a loud explosion, and the ground was shaking with such force that it began to vibrate.
The mecha blocking the wasteland suddenly emitted thick smoke from behind. The soldier driving the mecha was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw a small jump ship appear behind him. He had seen this jump ship at the beginning. Just when he was wondering why the other party was attacking him, the small jump ship appeared right in front of him with a bang.
"Lady Serena, come up quickly!"
Selina looked at the man and woman in front of her, a little surprised. She didn't say a word and jumped directly onto the jump ship!
"We have found Lady Selina, and the mechas are chasing us."
As soon as he finished his report, someone responded immediately.
But it was too far away, and they couldn't make it in time...
A-Ka glanced at the mecha following behind him. “We’ve sent our coordinates, but they may not be able to make it in time. There are too many mechas here…”
Because of the attack just now, the mercenaries who were searching around had obviously noticed the abnormality here. Some people were also keenly aware of Selina's special identity, otherwise this jump ship would not have taken the risk for Selina.
"Catch her!" The mercenaries reached a consensus in an instant.
After Selina got on the small jump ship, she took a look at the remaining energy in the jump ship. Not to mention avoiding the pursuing mechas behind her, even driving this jump ship to the North District would be impossible.
“Boom!”
"Run, crawl, they are catching up."
A-Ka swallowed his saliva and heard Alice scream. Just as he was about to speed up, he heard Alice yell again, “Left! There’s someone on the left! Hurry!”
A-Ka looked to the left, and saw three mechas pulling their engines towards them, obviously intending to outflank them!
“Boom—”
When the explosion sounded, A-Ka only saw Alice's mouth moving and saying something, but he couldn't hear it.
"Aka, are you okay?" Alice looked at Aka who was hit by bomb fragments. Aka shook his head and continued to drive the mecha while enduring the pain. But Alice was getting more and more frightened at this time because they were surrounded.
“It’s over…”
After hearing Alice's words, Selina did not refute. Although they left the encirclement after a small jump, there were more and more mechas nearby and they could not escape at all.
They don’t have enough energy to go to the northern part of Rio de Janeiro, so they don’t stand a chance…
Alice said urgently: “Aka, go straight into the civilian area! After we go in, we will abandon the ship. Maybe, maybe it is possible—”
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Selina. The woman who planned this war ordered in a cold voice: "To the north."
"Your Excellency!" Alice hadn't finished her words yet, but Selina didn't look at her.
"Sir, that's not possible. We don't have enough energy to get to the North District. We might be able to survive if we enter the slums."
Selina smiled bitterly. She knew that they might survive if they entered the slums, but once they entered the slums, the mechas behind them would follow them into the slums and bomb them!
At this time, the flight direction had been changed, heading directly towards North Rio. Aka drove the jump ship, moved forward for a while, and suddenly turned sharply!
"What are you doing?!" Selina's face changed and she asked.
“If we go that way, we will definitely die. If we go this way... maybe not!” Aka gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He disobeyed Selina’s order and headed straight for the slums!
…
Jiang Yuan and his group were not the only ones who discovered that the slums had not been bombed. After one night, the number of people fleeing to Rio de Janeiro increased dramatically.
"Are you ready?" The young man asked another companion next to him, holding a gun in his hand. His forehead was covered with fine sweat and there were large patches of blood on his white shirt. However, this blood should not belong to him because the young man looked in good physical condition.
Seeing his companion nod, the young man took a deep breath and rushed out along the route he had planned beforehand.
The young man rushed to the front and fired a shot at the door lock, then kicked the door open. A thin man and woman trembled inside the door, raised their hands, and begged in a low voice: "No, don't kill me, we..."
The young man took a look at the people inside and pointed his gun at the food on the table. The food didn’t look good. “Give me the food!”
"This..." The couple from the slum hesitated for a long time. Just when the other party was about to lose patience, the woman plucked up the courage to hand their few 'foods' to the young man.
Such scenes happened again and again in this area.
Apparently, these gangs of young men with guns had managed to grab the food. Several of them occupied a room, drove out the original owner, and sat on the ground eating the food they had just grabbed.
The few of them ate with gusto. From yesterday till now they had been busy escaping and had no time to eat. They were lucky enough to be able to enter the slums smoothly and were safe for the time being.
"Cough... cough cough..." One of the guys in the group, who was wearing a short T-shirt, frowned while eating. The next second, he spit out all the food in his mouth and cursed: "Damn, why does this meat smell bad? Damn..."
The man couldn't help retching, and then rushed out to grab the two slum dwellers who were driven out of their occupied house and questioned them.
The food was a mixture of oil, rice and some minced meat. It was impossible to tell what kind of meat it was. The middle-aged man, who was pointed at his head with a gun, replied tremblingly, "It's... it's Jira... Everyone here eats this."
"Jila?" The man cursed and asked, "Where did this meat come from?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and pointed in a direction behind him, "There."
The man frowned. They had just escaped from there. There were no shops there. Not only were there no shops, but there was only a huge garbage disposal plant built in Rio de Janeiro. He sneered and slapped the middle-aged man on the cheek.
"There's nothing over there, just a garbage dump! Dishonest stuff."
The young man who was traveling with the man couldn't stand it anymore, so he interrupted the guy and said, "Okay, let them go. It's annoying to keep them here."
"Get out!" The man kicked the middle-aged man on the butt and said impatiently.
The middle-aged man's head and ears were buzzing. He did not refute the other party's words. The man wanted to kick the middle-aged man again. At this moment, he suddenly heard a huge roar in his ears. He looked at the sky in the distance, trembling all over, "Mecha..."
The man didn't have time to think and turned around and ran!
The mercenaries chasing after Selina didn't care about the densely packed buildings in the slums at all, and used lasers and bombs.
Boom.
Boom.
The explosions continued, accompanied by screams one after another, exactly the same sounds as heard before!
Jiang Yuan and his two children stayed inside the factory. Because of the previous explosion, many people were nervous and were always observing the situation outside.
"Those mechs are coming! They're coming towards us!"
“It’s over…”
The crowd, who had just escaped from danger, despaired instantly when they saw the mechas suddenly attacking. This place was not safe anymore. It was over. No place in Rio de Janeiro was safe!
Now they could only pray that the mechas would not fly in their direction, but their hopes were obviously dashed, because the nine chasing mechas flew straight towards the factory where they were.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact it was only a few minutes.
Selina questioned Aka: "Are you crazy? You know what you are doing now!"
A-Ka’s eyes turned red, and he almost collapsed as he said, “I know! I know everything! But this is the only way… this is the only way to survive, my lord, you can’t die!”
He walked forward, not daring to look back, not daring to see how many people were killed by stray bullets, but he knew the importance of Selina. If this lady died here, perhaps the war would be won, but North Rio would not be peaceful like this, and perhaps the war would escalate!
"So what if we get in here? After the battleship runs out of energy, the chances of us surviving are less than 1%. Why should I let them die with me?"
"No, it's possible as long as we reach the factory!"
“Yes…it’s possible.” Alice suddenly thought of something. She understood why A-Ka drove this way! If what Enwei and Nina told her was true, then it was possible!
Selina looked at the two of them inexplicably, not knowing where their confidence came from, and she did not continue speaking.
She looked behind her, her brows twisted into a "川" shape, because of the repeated explosions, the area behind her was billowing with thick smoke. Even though she was flying in the air, she could hear the terrified screams below.
Selina looked up and saw a black iron block about to fall to the ground. She subconsciously wanted to close her eyes, but at this moment a laser flew past the window of the jump ship. The laser and the bomb met in the air and instantly exploded with a huge spark.
She immediately turned around and saw two strange but not unfamiliar mechas, like saviors, pulling their engines and flying into the air.
One of the mechas was holding a thermal weapon in the rear, while the other mecha passed by their warship with a mechanical knife and rushed straight towards them!
In a row!
Second consecutive!
Three in a row!
…
Eighth Company!
Boom!
The attacked mecha exploded!
The bombs and lasers around them didn't fall to the ground or hit the mech! Because the mech in the air supporting them in the distance used laser guns to shoot at them again and again, and the bombs exploded in the air before they even landed!
Selina opened her mouth wide. Although she guessed that the operators of the two mechas were the two people who were released into the slums yesterday, and she knew that the two men had extraordinary fighting power and that even the most powerful Aloris was no match for them, she still couldn't help but gasp when she saw such a fight with her own eyes.
