Chapter 191: David’s Opportunity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

General David ordered the three mecha armies to open fire when they encountered the obstruction of the mutated beasts. In an instant, 600 mechas opened fire at the same time. Fierce artillery fire roared as they flew towards the mutated beasts.

This kind of group attack from the mechas could allow them to fire multiple rounds in succession. As a result, their target would lose the ability to resist or would be directly destroyed by the cannons.

A few minutes later, the three rounds of artillery fire ended. However, General David did not allow the mecha army to continue attacking. After all, they still had to attack the Mechanical City next, so they had to save some ammunition.

Meanwhile, the mecha transport team responsible for logistics was advancing together with the main army led by Oria. Thus, the vanguard mecha army led by General David had no logistics support.

He waited for a few more minutes until the thick smoke in front of him began to dissipate into the air. Then, he ordered the three mecha armies to start advancing. David was very confident about the range of their firepower as it was very easy for them to get rid of a small group of mutated beasts.

After all, they had not been attacked by a large group of beasts. If they had really encountered a large group of beasts, even if the large army commanded by Oria was here, they would be swallowed by the endless mutated creatures.

“General David, the investigation ahead has been completed. Other than an A-Grade mutant creature, all the other mutated creatures have been killed by the artillery fire.”

General David nodded. He had expected an A-Grade mutant creature to survive. Furthermore, he also knew that the surviving A-Grade mutant creature should be a defensive mutant.

“The three mecha armies are to continue moving forward. Bring me to see that A-Grade mutant creature.”

An adjutant under General David was responsible for leading General David to the area where the cannon fire had just occurred. Meanwhile, the remaining three mecha armies continued advancing. They did not have to worry about General David’s safety. This was because he had an exclusive personal guard team which consisted of ten newly developed smart mechas.

It didn’t take General David long to arrive at the area that had been affected by artillery fire. The smell of gunpowder was still in the air. Meanwhile, the weeds around him, which were as tall as a person, had been burned to ashes.

The charred ground was littered with the remains of a large number of mutated creatures. General David looked over and realized that the mutated creatures that had appeared this time were somewhat special. From their remains, it was not difficult to tell that these were rare amphibious mutated creatures. There were mutated sea turtles and otters. Meanwhile, the surviving A-Grade mutated creature was originally an anteater.

Such rare mutated creatures were usually hard to encounter, unless one went to a certain area to see them, such as a beach near the sea or a swamp near a lake. However, this was the wilderness.

Thus, General David was curious. Such mutated creatures should not have appeared here. He was cautious and kept a safe distance from the A-Grade mutated anteater, even though the mutated anteater had lost its ability to attack.

“Don’t you find it strange? These mutated creatures shouldn’t have appeared here.”

David looked at his adjutant, as well as the Mecha Masters beside him. He wanted to see their reaction. After all, David rarely left the base city.

“General David, I’ve seen such mutant creatures west of Washington, but Washington is near the beach. We are currently inland.”

His adjutant gave an answer. This made General David feel even more puzzled. Since they had six people and ten smart mechas, they were not afraid of any accidents occurring. However, their goal this time was to launch a surprise attack on the Mechanical City. Thus, if they encountered such an incident midway, it was inevitable that they would associate what was happening in front of them with the Mechanical City.

This was because the Virgin Mary had always been a very scheming person. Who knew if this was a mutated creature created by the Virgin Mary?

According to the information obtained from the Holy City, there was a department in the Mechanical City that specialized in transforming mutated creatures. They transformed mutated creatures they had captured into even more powerful mutated mecha beasts. This was also the most troublesome thing for Commander Oria this time. If he wanted to attack the Mechanical City, he had to get rid of those powerful mutated mecha beasts first.

“General David, do you think this is a scheme designed by the Mechanical City?”

After the adjutant asked this question, General David turned to look at the A-Grade mutated anteater. It was staring at General David with one eye. David saw a hint of mockery in its eye.

Yes, that was right.

It was a mocking gaze. It waited for David to look at it and ignored the other Mecha Masters.

This made David very uncomfortable. He took out an energy gun for self-defense from his equipment bag, aimed it at the anteater’s eyes, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

After the gunshot sounded, the eye of the anteater instantly exploded, and scarlet blood mixed with tissue splattered.

After David killed the A-Grade mutated anteater with his energy gun, he suddenly felt dizzy. It was as if he had drunk a large glass of rum, making him feel light-headed.

However, he was still conscious and knew that this was definitely not because he had drunk the rum. He wanted to turn around and look at his subordinates behind him, but his body had begun to lose control.

This state made David panic. After all, people always had a deep fear of the unknown.

David tried to open his mouth. He was able to perform this simple action, but he found that he could not make any sound.

Just as David thought that he was about to die, an unfamiliar voice sounded in his ear. This voice was unlike human language, but he could understand it. This proved that no matter who this voice was from, at the very least, it could communicate in human language.

“My child, say your name.”

This was exactly what David had heard. The other party had called him a child. This made David feel a sense of belonging. This was an irresistible voice. As a result, he could not help but answer the other party’s question with respect.

“My master, you can call me David. Everything is as you wish!”

David’s answer surprised his subordinates. They didn’t know why the Commander in front of them was saying strange things to the air.

“General David?”

“General David? Who are you talking to?”

“General David, are we going back?”

A few subordinates were shouting. However, General David, who was standing still, was in a daze. One of the adjutants was still checking the time.. If they did not leave this place as soon as possible, they might not be able to catch up to the mecha army ahead.
