Chapter 57 Isolation

Having dodged that wave, the physical exertion for ordinary people would already be enormous. If it were a team breaking through, they could still cooperate with each other, but in solo combat, there was no choice.

Continue forward.

The third wave of cliff leaps required the armored dragon to make a desperate jump, but the two flying giant insects were deadly. However, these two boomerangs had reached a mind-boggling level.

Many mech pilots practiced knife throwing, and some could achieve such precision, but boomerang techniques?

And when the obstruction caused insufficient distance, the details were revealed.

The armored dragon mech used its hand-blade to directly cut into the cliff wall to hang on, a set of actions that were cold, decisive, and exuded an unspeakable aura of killing.

Then, it climbed up, inch by inch.

As for the fourth wave, everyone thought the lurker was disguised as a stone. Only in slow motion did they realize there was nothing above. The lurker was hidden in the rugged ground, completely invisible. This was entirely a soldier's tactical skill.

It seemed like the simplest thing, just good luck.

But military academy elites like Robby, Tita, Musashi, and Zhou Naiyi understood that for a person, a living being, to maintain such vigilance after so many challenges, how terrifying would that person have to be?

What kind of training was needed to form such muscle reflexes?

So when the armored dragon mech climbed ashore, there was no cheering, no rejoicing, no revelry like when others completed the record.

When the big screen displayed the huge S-class first clear record, the entire restaurant erupted in cheers. People raised their glasses to celebrate. It was too awesome, and they heard this Mu Ou (Puppet) was from USE, which made it even more worthy of a drink.

This battle completely brought Mu Ou into USE's public eye. It was inexcusable that someone specializing in armored mechs wasn't from USE, anyway, the people of Luna and Mars looked down on Earth mechs.

Li Hao also raised his glass, just about to have a drink with A Youyou, when he noticed A Youyou staring blankly at the screen, her eyes seemingly a little red.

"A Youyou, what's wrong?" Li Hao asked curiously, "Your reaction is a little strange."

A Youyou then came back to her senses, looking at Li Hao a little embarrassed, "It's nothing, Senior. I just feel that this person must be very lonely..."

Li Hao was stunned, slowly putting down his glass, staring blankly at A Youyou. He felt like he was falling for this lively girl.

In the live broadcast room, Zhuang Zhou, of course, didn't hide his excitement and praised him a bit. This wasn't just praise, it was truly awesome. He had been commentating the whole way, finally leaving Fire Man speechless.

"Senior Fire Man, please give a summary," Zhuang Zhou wanted to counterattack.

Fire Man nodded, a smile on his face. He had let the other side have his say for a while, but the opponent was too inexperienced. "A very beautiful completion. It seems this Mu Ou came prepared. I have to admit he has some skill, but I still find it hard to like this person. Too arrogant, likes to strike poses deliberately, putting on airs with a little achievement. As we all know, we Martians like authenticity, true temperament..."

???

Zhuang Zhou was stunned. What the hell? Could it be like this?

Not celebrating is putting on airs? Then what about celebrating? Wouldn't that be getting carried away?

He had to say, Fire Man was very much to the Martians' liking. Looking at the barrage, Zhuang Zhou wanted to curse. In the entire Solar System, wasn't it the Martians, the center of the universe, who liked to put on airs the most???

At the same time, EMP official seized the opportunity to open new giant insects in the Kepler training camp, reapers with flying capabilities.

Reapers are a bit smaller than Razor Worms, but possess extremely strong flying ability, agile, sharp, and troublesome.

The Alpharia Crater region of Luna is private property, belonging to the Morpheus family.

The Morpheus family is an indisputable powerhouse, publicly known only as the largest shareholder of the NUP Federal Reserve.

The development history of the Morpheus family is quite bizarre. They were the earliest to lead lunar colonization. At the time, the plan required a large investment and high risk, but Luna contained abundant Helium-3, which has become the main energy source in the Solar System, replacing oil. The rise of the Morpheus family was inevitable.

But this rise also aroused the fear of all parties, eventually violating anti-monopoly laws, and the Morpheus family's energy industry was forcibly split up.

But… each industry after the split developed just as rapidly, taking advantage of NUP's technological advantages, gradually becoming industry leaders, and the main shareholders of these companies were still the Morpheus family.

Imperceptibly, it created a super behemoth blooming all over NUP.

The NUP Federal Reserve is only the visible industry; this is true wealth that rivals a country.

The current head of the family is Cyrill Morpheus. His parents died in a laboratory accident three years ago. Some rumors say that Cyrill was heavily involved in the accident. He woke up from a coma after the accident.

In the vast laboratory, Cyrill was commanding the intelligent system to extract materials. He had discovered an active substance from the giant insect extracts, which could very likely revolutionize mech technology.

The automatic door opened. Cyrill remained focused on the experiment. The middle-aged man who entered didn't disturb him, just stood quietly to the side.

After busying himself for a while, Cyrill rubbed his forehead and only then noticed the middle-aged man. He nodded slightly and continued to busy himself with the things in his hands.

"Young Master, I just arrived. There's some bad news. Maxis, Van Lewitt, Tita, and others have declined your invitation," Mar said calmly, "Do you need me to put some pressure on them?"

Cyrill remained calm. "It's fine, it's within expectations."

Mar Morpheus is a vassal of the Morpheus family, serving the Morpheus family for generations, and also bearing the Morpheus family name.

Mar's expression was a bit stern. "They are part of your plan. If it wasn't for your backing over the past few years, how could they have been so successful?"

Cyrill smiled slightly. "Humans are fragile and selfish creatures. It's fine, it doesn't matter."

During the time he was in a coma, he had fallen into boundless darkness and despair, but at the same time, he had gained the process of thinking from another perspective. That experience may have been a preparation for today's transformation. He discovered his former restlessness and superficiality and had also been intoxicated by some illusory pleasures.

A great existence must first abandon the low-level tastes of living beings.

Only the weak crave understanding.

"How is that person?" Cyrill asked softly.

"I had people investigate. He was imprisoned for a year. USE didn't fool around. Then he was in the preparatory class, but the authorities forbade him from engaging in mech combat. He applied to the journalism department himself, and was later specially recruited into the mech department by the old principal of Tianjing Mech Academy. His performance has been average," Mar said.

Thinking of that person, Cyrill seemed to still feel the pain in his chest. "The principal of Tianjing Mech Academy is Long Danni now, right?"

"Yes, she is also a backbone force of the USE Federation's young officers. Times have changed, do you need me to take care of him?"

Mar said. His arrangement would naturally be arranging an accident.

Cyrill quietly thought for a while. "I haven't figured out his ending yet. Let it go for now. How are the talks with Kepler going?"

"Don't worry, we've reached a preliminary understanding. The giant insect corpses are currently mainly used for the laboratories of various federal military academies. We're willing to buy them at a high price. They're more than happy."

"Yes, the channels must be reliable. Don't be afraid of the trouble of going around a few more circles. We can't let anyone find any clues."

"Yes, Young Master. Also, the feedback on the new weapons is good. The Federal Army is willing to purchase them in large quantities, updating and replacing them in the mechs."

Cyrill nodded, as expected. The giant insect's body contains a special element that can strengthen weapons, but it contains even greater secrets and significance, enough to change all of humanity.

He was going to do something no one had ever done before.

…………

Early Monday morning, Li Hao was pulled awake. Two curious babies were lying on the head of his bed, giving Li Hao a fright.

"What are you two doing!" Li Hao pulled the covers up.

"Yo, Hao-ge, not bad, keeping quiet and picking up a girl, quick, tell us, how far have you gotten!" Ma Long's gossip heart had been leaping all weekend.

"I heard you even took her to the Musashi family, amazing, is this taking off?" Ma Long had a mischievous smile on his face.

"Take off your big ghost," Li Hao just showed a knowing smile when he thought of A Youyou, "I'm done for."

"You're not just done for, you've fallen in, you've completely fallen into a gentle trap. Do you have photos, what does she look like?"

Ma Long and Zuo Xiaotang were both very curious. Musashi had met her, but his opinion could be ignored.

"A very gentle girl," Musashi said.

"What do you know, you're a greenhorn. Let me, an expert, take a look. Show me the photos," Ma Long said with a bit of disdain.

"I only have one photo on hand." Li Hao opened his Skylink, it was the one he and A Youyou had taken under the moon.

Ma Long and Zuo Xiaotang scrutinized it up and down, wishing they had a magnifying glass.

"Not bad, she looks like she has a good personality, but she doesn't seem as good-looking as Ye Tong." Teacher Ma was slightly regretful, feeling that her skin was average, but her person was very pure, not like a green tea. "Hao-ge, not considering sacrificing your looks? I'm counting on riding your coattails."

(Feeling that the emotions are a little more delicate than before, brothers and sisters who are tasting a little bit can give a small collection, updating will not be lost ^_^)
