Chapter 34

  Hold The Abdomen And Run (3)

  The other party said please, Sheilor continued the word very naturally, “please… wait a minute.”

  Had to say, the same pot of the soup broth boiled out the different chicken also had the different tastes, this was the problem of the chicken. The students of the First Military Academy were all the very proud people, but the temperament showed by this kind of proud would be completely different, the controlled the blue and black mecha Anta would show the mania and frivolity, but Jade Chow would show it very elegant.

  Heard the voice came from the communicator, Jade Chow had a smile, looked at that still difficultly maintained the balance black mecha, said in a low voice, “sure.”

  He didn’t know what that people in the black mecha wanted him to wait for, perhaps for a little more rest time, perhaps came up with the way to defeat him? The absolute confidence let Jade Chow calmly and quietly show the demeanor of the First Military Academy. And the in the black mecha Sheilor also seemed to be really just in the rest, the mecha just leaned against the wall and stood over there for a long time, didn’t have any action.

  The long time quiet and the pause of the fight, the strange atmosphere in the fight training room, all showed on the huge light screen of the comprehensive gymnasium, finally was noticed by those in the comprehensive gymnasium, kept clapping hands and held the breath to cheer for the black mecha students. The applauses were getting lesser and lesser gradually, then backed to the extremely quiet, all the people looked at those not moving at all two mechas on the light screen, all of them didn’t know what happened.

  Shielding was bored to rub on his that burnt red fingers at this time, the delicate eyebrows were frowned very good-looking, suddenly was attracted the attention by the strange of the surrounding environment. He took a look at the light screen curiously, and watched for a moment, guessed a little bit of the communication between the two mecha pilots, couldn’t help to laugh up. Thought that Jade Chow must gave the other party the maximum endurance at this time, to show his demeanor, the people came out from the First Military Academy really were all this strutting. Except what would that black mecha still want to do? The strength gap was too big, even he kept thinking silently, in this short time, the black mecha also couldn’t have the chance to defeat the silver mecha which was controlled by Jade Chow, unless that prince in the black mecha suddenly had the small universe outbreak.

  In the not far away from the comprehensive gymnasium, but extremely strict and quiet villa, Charlie Tai also was holding the coffee cup, pretty interested to watch the silence of the two mechas on the light screen. The both sides in the fighting, one was the his not known by others “friend”, the other one was his future subordinate, he knew very well the strength and the characters of the both sides. He was smiling to be ready to watch Sheilor fall down and climb up again, climb up and fall down again, just like the hot blood space drama played by that purple hair little on the channel 23.

  Just at this time, the silenced for a long time black mecha moved suddenly.

  Shielding narrowed his eyes, the people in the comprehensive gymnasium were all nervous and somewhat couldn’t bear to watch. In the villa, Charlie Tai was drinking his coffee with a smile on his face, bent the left thumb to rest on the armrest, counted in his heart lightly: six seconds. Charlie Tai believed his own judgment, Sheilor could only last six seconds.

  When it’s the second second, the black mecha and the silver had already clashed together again straight from the shoulder, but this time, didn’t have the clear and heavy metal clash sound. Because just right in that moment which the naked eye couldn’t distinguish, the black mecha had its those two been damaged mechanical arms put up a strange angle suddenly, blocked in the right front of the mecha!

  The silver mecha that tore the air like the blade, hit straight to the black mecha operating cabin the crucial point right assault arm, was blocked by the black mecha that two broken, even faintly emitting the sparks mechanical arms. To say it more accurately, it’s not block, but clamp. The angle between the two mechanical arms seemed particularly strange, appeared the radial pattern outward, just clamped the mechanical arm of the silver mecha right in the middle!

  The assault of the silver mecha, drove the armors on the mechanical arms of the two mechas to keep grinding, sent out the heart-stopping “Zee Zee” sounds. The huge impact, all concentrated in this intimate contact area, let the two mechas to have a shock at the same time happened to coincide, shocked up from the ground more than ten cm! In the silver mecha Jade Chow was somewhat unexpected about the control precision and speed of the other party, but faintly he also didn’t feel that it’s very strange. Because earlier he had already seen, the other party had the very strange reaction speed, originally the operation shouldn’t be that bad.

  The clumsy action of the black mecha, because of the successful capture at this moment, then no longer to face the high-speed operation and brisk mecha footwork of the silver mecha, thus concealed its disadvantage in the maximum level. This looked very simple, but actually it’s very difficult. Because the metal dynamic property of the mecha, doomed to that the control man couldn’t command any subtle movement of the mecha, like what he did to his own body. In the mecha fighting operation, never had the standard action like this kind of human grapple.

  The black mecha backed a step to ward off the force, both arms cross blocked, completely like a practiced in the cultivation pavilion for many years human, not like a cold machine at all.

  Those nervously watching the light screen students, didn’t know the black mecha the hidden difficulty in this simple action, they just saw the been tumbledown black mecha not only stood up, but also successfully blocked the attack of the silver mecha for the first time. This fact let them saw the slight winning possibility of the Pear Garden university, they couldn’t help to burst out the extremely warm cheers.

  But Jade Chow knew, those students of the First Military Academy knew, Shielding and Charlie Tai also knew, they all couldn’t help to be somewhat surprised.

  Jade Chow didn’t know how that guy in the black mecha, could let a cold machine, accomplished earlier that movement smoothly like a human, just like he didn’t know why the other party would have the reaction speed quicker than he did. But besides the surprise, the ace student of the First Military Academy didn’t have any worry in his heart, calmly staring at the feedback of all the data on the monitor screen, he even had a flicker of smile flashed across in the eyes.

  The variation changed again.

  The originally stalemated together two mechas, suddenly had a severe shock between them for a short moment, the firmly blocked out in front the mechanical arm of the silver mecha, reached to the front once again! The floating cold light alloy fist, pointed directly to the most deadly operating cabin of the mecha. Of course this kind of fighting under the system monitoring, was impossible to allow the real death between the mechas. But if the silver mecha really could hit the operating cabin with some kind of power, the system would naturally judge the silver mecha the winner.

  This was also the source of Jade Chow that calm confidence, no matter the black mecha that strange block was done subconsciously, or really through some kind of strange operating way, he didn’t care about at all. The mechanical arms of the two mechas entangled together, the silver mecha lost the high-speed maneuverability, seemed to suffer the huge loss. But actually at this time the fighting, completely considered both sides the subtle operation in the narrow space, and the mecha its own dynamical system power.

  And in these two aspects, Jade Chow was very confident, the black mecha wouldn’t be his opponent. On the micro operation, Jade Chow had the beyond ordinary people too much level, and the silver mecha was the reinforced one, its dynamic power output, was much bigger than the prototype…

  Whit the all output of the static farming type high energy battery power, the rear side of the silver mecha sent out the Jade Chow very familiar with and very
conversant buzzing sounds. The strong power output, let the silver to march forward once again, it seemed that nothing could stop it. Especially Jade Chow’s right hand kept inputting the instructions on the touch screen, let the mechanical arm of the silver mecha could keep shifting in the minimum range with the 0.01 second speed, kept hitting on the two mechanical arms of the black mecha.

  Tok tok tok… like the woodpecker kept pecking the rigid tree, shock loosen the tree gradually. Or like an ancient giant’s hand, kept hitting the crack of the rock, let the crack of the rock getting bigger and bigger…

  The alloy mechanical arms wouldn’t be tired, but in this kind of shifting shock in the very small range, would be too late to reset at all. The black mecha could only watch the gap in front was getting bigger and bigger, the mechanical arm of the silver was getting closer and closer, the speed was faster and faster…

  Had to admit, the mecha fighting strength of the ace student of the First Military Academy, had been strong to a kind of very abnormal degree.

  Charlie Tai put the coffee cup by the lips, the five fingers on the armrest of the sofa had already bent up, the eyebrows were frowned slightly, looked at that seemed to be losing black mecha on the light screen seriously, subconsciously felt that there would be some strange thing happened in the next moment.

  Jade Chow also felt it, because the black mecha of the other party in these two seconds, had not made any response, seemed to have already lost all the faith, only waiting to be hit, and then be sentenced by the system as the loser. But Jade Chow had already confirmed, that guy in the black mecha wouldn’t be a say die easily people.

  A kind of ominous omen appeared in Jade Chow’s mind, his expression was calm, but his fingers began to move quickly on the touch screen, changed the power output to instant process, at the same time, changed the mechanical legs of the lower body from the slight crouch to march mode…

  The current sound, the assemble sound of the metal components sounded up, the two kept shivering body huge mechas in the fight training room, seemed to have the pause at the same time. The mechanical legs of the silver mecha began to squat down, was going to change to the march mode. Jade Chow decided to not wait for that ominous possibility any more, with this kind of risky way, to get more power output and the ground grasp capability, tried to have the success in one strike.

  However…

  The been silence black mecha seemed to just wait for this moment, when the lower body of the silver mecha moved back a little bit because the mode changed, the black mecha moved, the thick and heavy mechanical leg moved, clumsy and desperate to move, became a black curve line in the air, with the naked eye absolutely couldn’t see clearly speed, with the 30 degree precise angle, ruthlessly split down to the lower body of the silver mecha!

  This picture absolutely shouldn’t appear in the mecha fight!

  This was the movement example absolutely never been in any mecha course of study!

  The M series mechas were all the type II mecha, the heavy mechanical legs mainly were used to support the heavy mecha load itself, and could change to the march mode, through the reassembling and transform of the metal components, could let the mecha to march forward in the field with the speed over one hundreds km. If for the wartime needs, it still could be changed on the caterpillar track temporarily, across those complex terrain swamp areas.

  In short, in the federal mecha design and use concept, mecha this pair heavy mechanical legs had the very important effect, but this effect was mainly reflected in the structure and movement aspects. The balance of the mecha was the most important thing when fighting, only could maintain the balance of the mecha, then could guarantee the three big systems of the mecha, could have a stable reaction platform for reference and calculation…

  Because the requirement that mecha had on this aspect was too high, so no matter in the design or in the use, the federal people would always load the weapon system on the upper body of the mecha. And seldom people could think of… that pair heave and clumsy walking mechanical legs… incredibly also could become the attack weapon.

  In the past countless years of history, there must be scientists or those born from the cultivation pavilion the strong pilots, imagined whether the mechanical legs could play the important role in the mecha fight. But the countless experiments and calculations, had already proved that, if you wanted to guarantee the stability of the mecha, you must sacrificed the flexibility of the mechanical legs.

  The mecha was just the machine after all, no matter how nimble the machine was, it still wouldn’t be the human body, it’s impossible like those special soldiers or the masters of the cultivation pavilion, could curvet in the woods, or had the flying side kick like the human…

  Perhaps some beginners would try this kind of attempts cheerfully, but what would meet him, must be the domplete failure. Because an even couldn’t maintain the most fundamental balance mecha, no matter how it could lift the leg gaudily, still would be blown down to the ground by a gust of wind.

  In the real mecha special operations, of course could use the mechanical legs to do some usually won’t do actions, but that must had been forced into the hopeless situation, then would use this kind of extremely risky way.

  The professors of the maneuvering department of the three big military academies and the West Forest military school, through the discuss principles of the mecha action inferences, had already had the conclusion, if people wanted to control the mecha like controlling his own body, unless in the mecha that pilot could have the calculation speed and control precision like the computer. The high class central computer perhaps could complete these actions, but the computer itself couldn’t have the human born reaction distinguishing ability…

  So in the federal military teaching materials, never had the contents on this aspect, because this was a kind of more harm than good attack method, this was a kind of failure many times then had a success attack method, in other words, this was a kind of very stupid attack method.

  Jade Chow had seen this kind of mecha leg attack before. In the maneuvering department of the First Military Academy, once had a always have bats in the belfry, but incomparably persistent lower classmate, this lower classmate once had spent the time of half an year, tried to let the mecha could attack with the mechanical legs off the ground, and at the same time could maintain the rapid response method in the counterattack of the other party.

  But half an year later, that have the bats in the belfry but incomparably persistent lower classmate, eventually still gave it up sulkily. Although Jade Chow appreciated the talent of that lower classmate, but formed consensus of the federal human in countless years, not anyone could override casually.

  So when Jade Chow saw that black lightning mechanical leg from the monitoring screen, very accurate and powerful splitting at him, and the black mecha itself still maintained the stability, the arms blocking the silver mechanical arm were still on the same position… unexpectedly he stagnated for one tenth second subconsciously, the eye pupils contracted suddenly.

  How could the other party do this? Because the black mecha leaned its half mecha body on the wall of the fight training room? Or by heads and tails? But no matter which kind, actually Jade Chow still wouldn’t feel panic. Because in countless mecha fights, always had some wonderful things happened, but in the next time, perhaps that pilot couldn’t employ the same effect.

  Jade Chow himself, once in a mecha operation experiment, unconsciously let the silver mecha finish a beautiful circle kick, that made him very excited at the time. But when he tried to repeat the same process in the later days, then he found out that in the whole fourteen experiments, he just only succeeded twice.

  Such a low success rate, couldn’t be used fro the actual combat. The rigorous by nature Jade Chow, threw this thing out of his mind from then on, because he knew his… no, all the pilot of the federation, manipulation ability, couldn’t let the attack of the lower part of the mecha to become an effective means.
>
  So Jade Chow thought that the black mecha just suddenly broke out in the hopeless situation, suddenly kicked out this foot very luckily, just like what he had the beautiful circle kick in those years.

  The thing really let Jade Chow felt enormous pressure was, the reaction speed and the calm of the black mecha, the other party seemed to have already judged all the developments after the fight started from the first second on, knew these two mechas would fall into the stalemate, and the silver mecha would with the more powerful motive power, to get the unable reverse advantage. And he would let the mechanical legs to change to the march mode at the last moment, to give the last blow…

  The reaction of the black mecha was too amazing, just right at that moment when the silver mecha was changing the modes, caught the loophole of the armor on that crucial part, and then attacked at that part! The other party had been keeping silence, could it be that it just kept waiting for this moment?

  If it’s true, this kind of endurance, this kind of calm, this kind of vision, even this kind of gambling type attack way, all let Jade Chow felt the unprecedented pressure.

  Jade Chow had the cold feeling flashed in his heart, but didn’t have time to have the following thought at all, the contracted slightly eye pupils had the light appeared, the strength of the ace pilot broke out at this moment, the fingers touched the touch screen with the speed that the naked eye could catch at all, because of the demeanor, the been not used left mechanical arm reached out to the forward suddenly.

  The unloaded fire system mecha melee fight, actually was more like a kind of primitive fight, the competition was just the brute force and speed, actually also was the motive power of the mecha and the manipulation of the pilot.

  The black mecha that like the storm leg strike at this time, let Jade Chow felt surprised, he had to compete the speed with the other party. Once he could be faster a bit to hit the operating cabin of the other party, then this fight, he still would be the winner.

  The sixth second finally came to the end.

  No surprise, the black mecha this nobody thought of kick, this like trees pulled up by tornado cross kick, or like the huge wave struck on the levee of the Coastal state spurted out leg, accurately and heavily hit on the lower body of the silver mecha, hit on the crucial part, just heard the crack loud noise, the heavy alloy mechanical leg of the black mecha, on the silver mecha that temporary lost the defense ability place, split out a shocking wounds!

  The sparks lit up the fight training room, the lower body of the silver mecha, countless metal connection cords and pipelines were broken miserably!

  But at the same time, the pair of mechanical arms of the silver mecha also broke through the defense of the black mecha, hit ruthlessly on the abdomen operating cabin place of the black mecha, in the “Pi Pa” crack sounds, the translucent operating cabin door was deformed seriously, the like spider web cracks began to keep extending!

  The white smoke began to permeate in the fight training room, covered all the sights, after a moment of silence, the electronic composition sound of the system sounded up once again, it’s a very clear and simple judgment, “draw.”

  The fight training room fell into a kind of strange silence, two seriously damaged mechas had all been out of the combat mode, stood on the opposite side quietly.

  The left mechanic leg of the silver mecha was hit by that heroic strike, the structural system was completely destroyed, the whole mecha body had already half inclined, lost the intact action ability. A moment later, the operating cabin of the silver mecha was opened, Jade Chow gazed at the thick smoke in front of him, seemed to want to see clearly that near at hand black mecha.

  The cabin door of the black mecha had been broken into pieces, just in the full of smoke room, couldn’t see clearly the true appearance of the pilot over the other side of the smoke. Jade Chow frowned slightly, in the fight mode, the maximum attack output power all had the limit, especially that blow aimed at the operating cabin, why the cabin door of the other party would be broken completely, didn’t know whether the other party would be fine or not? He was somewhat worry. But he didn’t know it at all, the cabin door of the black mecha was the spare part installed temporarily today.

  “Are you all right?” Jade Chow shouted at the other side of the smoke.

  After a long time, a few coughs came from the other side of the smoke, a voice sounded, “You are very good, I thought that this kick is right on the target, you shouldn’t have enough time to hit me.”

  Jade Chow could tell the sincerity from the tone of the other party, couldn’t help to have a smile slightly, but the smile was somewhat bitter, he confirmed that the other party was just a beginner, just seemed to have some kind of talent, he looked at the dispersed gradually smoke, frowned and asked, “You are the student of the Pear Garden university? How did you do that kick earlier? Do you want to come to our First Military Academy to study some basic knowledge?”

  Jade Chow just said this words subconsciously, then he shook his head with a smile, said, “Today you have already become the hero of the Pear Garden university, presumably the president Nolan also won’t let you this kind of talent to leave.”

  The previous conversations of them two people, and the calling through the smoke at this moment, all were confined in the fight training room, the countless people in the comprehensive gymnasium couldn’t hear it at all.

  The voice over the other side of the smoke suddenly became perplexed and alarmed, “What hero?”

  “You don’t know?” Jade Chow looked at the dispersed gradually smoke there.

  The air system of the fight training room operated on the full power, the smoke got much lighter just in a moment, the alloy rooftop opened slowly, the shocked people eardrum split cheers and applauses came to the below, the sitting in the black mecha Sheilor watched all of these in a daze. Suddenly shouted out the word “shit”, the black mecha also moved quickly at the same time.

  The smoke dispersed gradually, Jade Chow heard the current sound came from the other side, he wondered a bit more. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the broken cabin door of the other party, wanted to see clearly what this strange guy really looked like… he just saw a pair of damaged serious alloy fists blocked solidly in front of the cabin door place!

  The sound of the applause had already shocked the roof in the comprehensive gymnasium, the students of the Pear Garden university and the other universities of the university town, all sunk into the excited state. All of them didn’t expect, that looked like dying black mecha not only stood up doggedly, but also fought draw with the ace student of the First Military Academy!

  On the rostrum, the president Nolan and the professors of the Pear Garden also smile very delightfully, even the professor Kent of the First Military Academy also smiled happily. The draw was the best result, at least it wouldn’t offend that young man.

  The roof of the fight training room opened slowly, the smoke dispersed slowly, countless eyes cast over there, countless people wanted to know this showed up mysteriously in the black mecha, sitting in there would be the student of which department, no matter what kind of people this student was before, but from today on, inevitably he would be the legend kept in mind by countless periods of students.

  The president Nolan looked at there with a smile, thought that tonight would be the dancing party of the Bi-moons Festival, the successor of the Tai family chose this kind of appearance way several hours ahead, perhaps it’s the better arrangement by god.

  However to surprise all the people, when the smoke was cleared, they just saw a damaged seriously silver mecha and a… blocking the cracking cabin door with the alloy fists, turning the mecha body, and running to the opened slowly door on the rear of the fight training room black mecha!

  Nobody could see clearly who was the guy in the black mecha, even if the light screen could pull to the closest shot, also had no way to see it clearly.

  This scene left in the memory of many people, because after a thrillin
g mecha fight drill, they saw that taken as hero by them, the black prototype mecha was holding the abdomen, limping like a shame thief, very embarrassed and very panic to run away quickly…

  Because of this scene, the comprehensive gymnasium suddenly fell into the extreme quiet, by the channel Shielding opened his mouth widely to look at the back figure of that like a dog mecha, suddenly scolded severely, blew his that burnt again by the cigarette fingers in a hurry.

  On the sofa in the villa, Charlie Tai looked at the light screen in a daze, thought that if the black mecha went to act in a movie, would certainly become the Nebula Award winner. This holding the abdomen and run scene, looked exactly like a ate something bad poor man… once he thought of this, the honor identity him, couldn’t help to spit out a mouth of coffee, nearly not highly accord with his identity to laugh out.
