At the same time, the team chat channel also rang out with shrill cries: "It's a laser! Quickly descend! Take cover!"
The "Laser-Class" is the smallest of the beta, bipedal laser species. Its massive eyes can fire high-powered lasers powerful enough to destroy aircraft, mechas, and tanks. It can accurately detect flying objects up to 380 kilometers away and at an altitude of 10,000 meters, with an interval of approximately 12 seconds.
Its first appearance caused great trouble and casualties to mankind, and made humans who claimed to have mastered air supremacy suffer a heavy lesson.
"How is that possible? Why is there a 'Laser-Class' here? Can't this species only be bred in a Level 2 nest?"
"Humanity still knows very little about beta! Any preconceived notions or assumptions about them could be deception!"
"Stop wasting time! Liu Xiaoxin, go save them! Cai Li, report to the Earth Defense Command immediately. I'll find a chance to kill them and avenge my teacher!"
"Wang Meiling! Don't mess around! Don't go over there. We have to wait for support."
Wang Meiling operated the mecha to fly close to the ground and did not stop. Instead, she replied angrily.
"I have to kill them! Don't stop me!"
"Wang Meiling!"
However, just like Chang Wei back then, young people will not understand their own capabilities until they hit their heads.
After a hard fight, Wang Meiling not only failed to rush to the vicinity of the "laser level", but was pierced through the flying wing by the light beams they emitted, and fell directly into an abandoned factory building.
Her mech had lost 80% of its performance, and despite trying several times, she couldn't restart it. It was also thanks to the engine being shut down, otherwise, it would have had a high probability of becoming a gorgeous firework when it fell down.
Now, the only light source in her cockpit was the motion sensor which was still on.
However, when Wang Meiling saw the dense red dots surrounding her on the motion sensor, her whole body began to tremble and her face turned pale in an instant.
It's over!
Wang Meiling knew very well what she would encounter next.
A mech that can't start is like a delicious can of food. Just waiting for Beta to pry it open and drag out the "meat" inside to eat...
Countless memories flashed through her mind: the image of her former classmate screaming in Beta's mouth. She didn't want to be like that, so she pulled a self-defense pistol from her life pack and pressed it to her chin, preparing to end her life in the cockpit.
"I'm sorry, teacher... everyone..." A tear fell down her cheeks. How she wished she could return to her old school, live a carefree life with her classmates. But unfortunately... she could never go back...
Just as she was about to shoot, a loud roar accompanied by the roar of gunfire rang out.
"Wang Meiling! You bastard! Are you still alive?"
"Liu Xiaoxin?"
The person who came was Liu Xiaoxin, who came to the rescue in a single plane. At this moment, she was trying her best to attract the attention of the beta and smash them to pieces as they kept approaching!
"If you're not dead, get out of the cockpit immediately. I'll get you out of here!"
Wang Meiling kept kicking the cockpit door hard, her will to survive driving her to go all out.
"The hatch seems to be deformed and stuck. I'm trying hard. Give me some more time!"
Boom boom boom!
"Okay! Xiaoxin, I'm out."
Wang Meiling kicked the door dozens of times before finally getting it open. But when she climbed out of the cockpit with joy, she saw a scene that made her despair.
Liu Xiaoxin's mech was covered by a large number of soldier-level betas, and was directly crushed. Their large mouths frantically bit the armor and components on it, paralyzing it in place.
A group of betas were still trying hard to tear the cockpit door, as if they wanted to pull Liu Xiaoxin out.
Because Beta had been implanted with a latent command to prioritize attacking combinations of high-end weapons and humans, Wang Meiling, who had crawled out of the mecha, was simply ignored by Beta.
As the force increased, Liu Xiaoxin's cockpit door began to deform, and the betas' hideous mouthparts could be seen through the opened gap.
She wasn't terrified or panicked, but quietly said into the intercom headset: "Meiling! Help me. After the hatch is pried open, please shoot me to death quickly! Don't let me suffer so much!"
Wang Meiling was shocked. She...didn't say anything for a long time, her eyes trembling as she looked towards Liu Xiaoxin's cockpit.
Seeing that the other party did not respond, Liu Xiaoxin's tone became more pleading.
"No...no...I don't want you to die!"
"Wang Meiling! For the sake of our friendship, I beg you!"
“No! …I can’t do it!”
Boom! Bang!
The hatch was violently opened, and a group of soldier-level betas looked at Liu Xiaoxin inside with saliva in their mouths. The scene was extremely creepy!
Liu Xiaoxin finally reacted, and immediately yelled at Wang Meiling across from her with a ferocious look on her face: "Shoot! Kill me!"
Wang Meiling finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She screamed in rage and pulled the trigger at her best friend.
A ball of blood instantly bloomed at the position of Liu Xiaoxin's heart, and she slowly fell down with a look of relief on her face and dilated pupils.
However... her body soon began to tremble again. Accompanied by a terrifying sound of tearing and chewing, Wang Meiling fell to her knees in despair, watching as her best friend's body was devoured by the group of monsters.
Soon, it will be her turn...
Wang Meiling closed her eyes, as if resigned to her fate. The gun only had one bullet, reserved for premature suicide. If she gave that bullet to Liu Xiaoxin, her own fate was self-evident.
A large number of betas surrounded her, and Wang Meiling was ready to die.
However, at this moment, a rustling signal interference sound came from the headset.
Then, countless beams of light bombarded down, circled around, and instantly blasted all the betas close to Wang Meiling into pieces!
What's going on? What happened?
Wang Meiling opened her eyes and looked up, and found that in the sky above her head, there was a mecha that she had never seen before. It was emitting two huge circles of particle light, like a pair of green angel wings spread out, hanging in her sight.
Sacred, beautiful, and powerful, it was like a ray of light that suddenly appeared in the dark night of despair, giving her the courage and hope to continue living!
