Mrs. Legend Chapter 373

Chapter 373: I'm the One Who Brought Them Out

The number of mechs in the sky reached over one hundred thousand. They were killing anyone they saw and blowing up any military hovercars they encountered. They were extremely cruel, as if they wouldn't stop until they had killed all the officers.

In just a few short minutes, the assembly hall turned into a slaughterhouse. Artillery fire raged everywhere as military hovercars fled in all directions. Although the assembly hall's guard unit arrived quickly, they couldn't stop the terrorists' attack.

"Major General Mei, we need to go help." Wu Lang and the others took out the space buttons storing their mechs from the hovercar's hidden compartment.

Mei Chuanqi sat in the driver's seat of the hovercar, found a relatively safe place, and let them out: "You all be careful."

Only after Wu Lang and the others had departed in their mechs did he start the hovercar and lift off. However, he felt incredibly envious of Wu Lang and the others for being able to pilot mechs into battle. If it weren't for his pregnancy, Feng Jingteng wouldn't have confiscated his mech either. Now, he could only drive a hovercar back to the military district.

Suddenly, an artillery shell blasted down from above the hovercar's roof, grazing the hovercar body and exploding in the spot where they had previously parked. With a loud bang, the ground blew open into a large crater, sending dirt flying everywhere.

Mei Chuanqi and Mei Zhengjun's expressions changed drastically. If they had lifted the hovercar just one or two seconds later, the shell would have definitely hit their hovercar.

"I'm afraid they're coming for us," Mei Zhengjun said calmly, having returned to his normal expression.

Mei Chuanqi pushed the hovercar's speed to the maximum, soaring away and instantly flying over a kilometer.

Mei Zhengjun looked behind the hovercar: "Those mechs are chasing us from behind. There are also mechs attacking from the left and right, pincer attacks. Over thirty mechs in total. Chuanqi, you need to be careful."

"They're probably here to kill me," Mei Chuanqi said while dodging the shells from behind.

The enemy had come prepared; their artillery fire was very dense, like an inescapable net, making it difficult for Mei Chuanqi to dodge. The worst part was that he was driving a hovercar and couldn't fire back to break their encirclement.

Mei Zhengjun quickly sat up straight and fastened his seatbelt: "If no one had deliberately let these terrorists into Central Asia, they never could have infiltrated this place."

Mei Chuanqi remained silent, but he knew very well who had let these terrorists in.

The mechs on the left and right suddenly stopped their attacks, with one flying toward the hovercar's roof and the other positioning itself beneath it. Bombing the enemy from blind spots where they couldn't be seen was the most effective attack.

"Hang on tight." Mei Chuanqi suddenly reversed direction rapidly, pointing the hovercar's nose straight up and flying upwards, quickly dodging the simultaneous attack from above and below.

Mei Zhengjun, firmly seated against the backrest: "…"

This was the first time he realized that riding a hovercar could be so thrilling.

"Damn it, a hovercar flying vertically isn't as fast as flying horizontally." Mei Chuanqi cursed while dodging the shelling.

Mei Zhengjun could also see that Mei Chuanqi was barely avoiding the shells. If this continued, they would eventually die in the bombardment.

Just then, the mechs chasing them suddenly exploded one after another. In the blink of an eye, over thirty mechs all fell.

"What's going on?" Mei Zhengjun looked out the window suspiciously, but there was nothing outside.

Mei Chuanqi wiped his sweat: "Damn, they're finally here. If they hadn't come, I'd be buried here."

Mei Zhengjun rubbed his brow: "Please don't use foul language. Mind the prenatal education."

Mei Chuanqi: "…"

He stopped the hovercar: "Father, let's go back and take a look."

Mei Zhengjun disapproved: "The assembly hall is very dangerous. We should leave as soon as possible."

"Our unit's people are here, it'll be fine. They were the ones who saved us just now."

Mei Zhengjun looked out the window suspiciously: "Where are they?"

Mei Chuanqi glanced at him mysteriously: "Go back and see, and you'll find out."

Not waiting for Mei Zhengjun's agreement, he turned the hovercar around and flew back towards the assembly hall.

From a distance, Mei Zhengjun witnessed a bizarre scene: tens of thousands of artillery shells, appearing out of thin air, destroyed the terrorists' mechs one after another.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the terrorists tried to flee. Unfortunately, they didn't get ten meters before they were blown to pieces.

In just over ten minutes, over one hundred thousand mechs were completely annihilated. The guard unit was shocked, suspicious, and fearful, worried that those shells might turn on them.

The officers hiding inside the assembly hall, who had watched the entire battle, also looked at the sky with shocked and puzzled expressions: "What just happened? Where did all those shells come from?"

Just as they were bewildered, suddenly, in the sky, majestic mechs materialized out of thin air, approximately twenty to thirty thousand of them. It was as if heavenly soldiers and generals had descended, appearing right before their eyes.

One after another, the beautiful, gigantic mechs made it feel like walking into a mech exhibition hall, eliciting gasps of amazement.

When the officers saw the military insignia on the mechs' chests, they all breathed a sigh of relief: "They're military mechs. But where did they pop up from? Could they all be stealth mechs?"

Upon hearing the words 'stealth mech', everyone showed expressions of surprise.

Even Mei Zhengjun rarely showed astonishment: "How does your unit have so many stealth mechs?"

Mei Chuanxi smiled slightly: "I'm the one who brought them out."

What he meant by 'brought them out' wasn't that he had brought the stealth mechs here, but that he had brought them from Z City to the Shadow Unit.

This was just the beginning. First, let everyone see the mech warriors from Z City. When the time was right, he would reveal the entire underground city of Z City to everyone.

At that moment, a black mech landed in front of the assembly hall, and then a figure emerged from it: "I am Lieutenant General Feng Jingteng of the Southern Military District, Central Asia. It's safe now, everyone can come out."

The assembly hall's protective shield deactivated, and someone immediately questioned: "Lieutenant General Feng, since your mech team was nearby, why didn't you have them come out earlier to kill the terrorists? Then not so many people would have died."

Everyone looked at the ruins before them, feeling a lingering fear. If they hadn't still been inside the assembly hall, the consequences would have been like those charred corpses.

Feng Jingteng looked at his questioner: "General, you should know that military personnel cannot directly enter the assembly hall's perimeter. Although we were nearby, it still took some time to get here."

Then, someone else asked: "Lieutenant General Feng, having your troops wait outside the assembly hall's perimeter, could it be that you knew in advance that a terrorist attack would occur?"

"My duty is to protect the Grand General, and today was the day for the final decision. Of course, I had to take safety precautions." Feng Jingteng ceased engaging with these officers who had narrowly escaped disaster and directly ordered the guard unit to check the parking lot for survivors.

The area in front of the assembly hall was covered with destroyed mechs and hovercars, thick with smoke and the smell of burning.

At that moment, everyone's mood was extremely heavy. This terrorist attack had sacrificed many outstanding officers. Everyone felt immense grief and indignation, and it also marked the final curtain call for the voting assembly.

Later, statistics showed that a total of 17,045 officers had died. All officers unanimously stated that they would investigate thoroughly how the terrorists had been able to infiltrate the assembly hall's perimeter.

Gu Yuan returned to the Gu family study in A City, the enraged Gu Yuan immediately made a call: "I told you to kill Wang Yuan and Mei Zhenqiu. Why did you bomb the other officers too?"

His goal was only to kill Wang Yuan, Mei Zhenqiu, Mei Chuanqi, and the members of the Mei family, and then randomly kill a few dozen officers to cover up the true motive. But he never expected this person to violate their agreement and try to wipe out all the officers in one go.

If it had succeeded, it would be one thing, but instead, his team got wiped out. Moreover, if he himself hadn't left early, he might have been bombed too.

The other party said lazily: "With such a good opportunity, how could I miss it? Besides, if I only killed a few officers, suspicion would definitely fall on you. So, I did you a favor and killed a few more officers for fun."

At this point, the other party's tone changed: "But your side only lost 17,045 men, while I lost 112,986 brothers. Either way, I'm at a disadvantage. The credits you gave me before can't make up for this loss at all. I'm giving you five days to transfer another 500 million credits, or I'll expose this matter."

Gu Yuan's face twisted with rage: "The people I told you to kill, you didn't kill. I'm not asking you to compensate me for credits is already very generous. Now you have the nerve to ask me to transfer more credits? I'm telling you, it's impossible."

He immediately hung up the communication, collapsing onto the sofa in anger.

Damn it.

Wang Yuan and Mei Zhenqiu weren't dead, so he had no hope of ever becoming Grand General. The imperial power he desired was getting further and further away.

Someone knocked on the door.

Gu Yuan ignored it. The person outside pushed the door open directly and barged in, asking furiously: "Gu Yuan, you didn't have anything to do with the bombing of the officers at the assembly hall, did you?"
