The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 627 - 620 It’s Hard Just Walking

The decapitation strike was a success, complete, thorough, and without any discount.

The cost was high, but the fruits were even more substantial. Facing an opponent with superiority in every aspect and without damaging the enemy’s overall strength, we managed to wipe out their command structure in one fell swoop and secured the Ark of the Covenant; both strategic objectives were fully achieved. This is what being thoroughly victorious means.

Moreover, it now seems that we have an even greater victory at hand. The Sanitation Workers had over a hundred thousand troops in Djibouti, which is their core base camp, their logistics base. But now, Djibouti will inevitably change hands.

The core cohesion of the Sanitation Workers and the Graycloaks is faith, the belief in the Celestials. Even if the Sanitation Workers deceive themselves, treating the Serpent People as Celestials to maintain their core cohesion, as soon as Gao Yuan and Xinghe appear, the Sanitation Workers will undoubtedly face a crisis of faith collapse.

That is to say, Xinghe can easily take over most of the Sanitation Workers’ strength without difficulty.

Not being able to maintain rule with faith is the biggest crisis for the Sanitation Workers, and it is a crisis without any solution.

Therefore, as long as we win the battle of Djibouti, then the Sanitation Workers should no longer be a problem, at least not a major one.

After all, having lost both of their footholds in Africa, even without a crisis of faith, the Sanitation Workers would find it very difficult to pose a substantial threat to the Solar System again.

We have won, but Ram could not feel any joy.

When he told Gao Yuan that the battle was over, Ram seemed very downcast. Watching Xinghe carrying Larry down from the tank, while the enemy’s tanks went silent and the infantry surrendered their arms, Ram tossed his cigarette to the ground. But he immediately bent down to pick it up, then yelled at Xinghe, "Have him order an end to the electronic jamming right away, as well as their communicators, and the Serpent People’s communicators, we must take control immediately!"

After yelling at Xinghe, Ram nodded to Gao Yuan and whispered, "You do your thing, I’ll do mine. Let’s get moving."

Ram walked away, sprinting towards Xinghe.

Gao Yuan walked towards the mecha that was standing in front of him.

This mecha looked slightly larger than the other two types of mechas, with an electromagnetic cannon on its right shoulder and an electromagnetic gun on its left arm. However, whether the driver inside was dead or alive was unknown.

It was this mecha that had done nothing else but stood in front of Gao Yuan, blocking just that one shot.

By simply intercepting the shot, the mecha never moved again.

Unless something unexpected had occurred, the pilot was probably dead.

A shell had pierced through front to back, and judging by the amount of blood leaking from the mecha, it was unlikely that the pilot survived. Nevertheless, Gao Yuan still had to check, to confirm. Because if the pilot really wasn’t dead, then the Ark of the Covenant was right there; medical help could be provided immediately.

It was at that moment that Lizhizi, wearing his tunic and carrying his broken sword, silently joined Gao Yuan in front of the mecha.

Lizhizi silently made himself out to be a medic because apart from that, there really wasn’t much else he could do.

Gao Yuan looked at the mecha, not knowing how to open it.

Lizhizi also looked at the mecha, then whispered to Gao Yuan, "What do we do now? How do we open it?"

Just then, Gao Yuan heard the rumbling of tracks moving. He turned his head to look, only to see the turret that had just been atop the submarine had somehow made it to shore.

The mechanical legs served to aid in movement; the main mode of locomotion was still the tracks.

Just like a tank, only much larger.

The electromagnetic cannon that had fired earlier had already been retracted, and now the tank resembled a movable flat box, looking like only the base of a tank without its main gun.

The tank ground to a halt, and as it faced Gao Yuan’s direction, the front opened and then a person jumped down from inside.

Gao Yuan was stunned once again, and then he said with a trembling voice, "Uncle Xiang..."

It was Xiang Weiguo who had come.

Xiang Weiguo gestured with his hand, and the Mecha visor beside Gao Yuan began to retract upwards, first the metal helmet, then the transparent cover, revealing a young and unfamiliar face.

The Mecha’s chest compartment opened, and the unsupported pilot immediately slumped, his body tilting forward, but his arms were still looped inside the Mecha, so the pilot did not fall straight to the ground.

The pilot’s left chest had been completely shattered.

A 30mm autocannon’s armor-piercing round had hit the human body directly, and even with the Ark of the Covenant, there was no power to return to life.

Gao Yuan’s feelings were complex because this completely unfamiliar person had done one thing: he had taken the shell for him.

Perhaps that shell would not have hit Gao Yuan, perhaps it would have pierced directly through Gao Yuan—no one knew what the consequences of not blocking the shell would be, but this young man, he still stood there.

Xiang Weiguo looked at the pilot, fell silent for a moment, and then raised his hand to salute the pilot, before saying in a low voice, "The battle is not over, get him out of there."

Gao Yuan was seriously injured, and he did not make a move, Lizhizi and Xiang Weiguo worked together to lift the fallen pilot from the Mecha, and Xiang Weiguo immediately said, "Check the functions of Mecha No. 3 to see if they are normal immediately."

Xiang Weiguo had an earphone on his ear, and soon, a soldier came down from that large vehicle and ran over quickly, saying, "Report, Mecha No. 3’s weapons system is damaged, the drive system is intact, and the signal reception system is intact."

After taking a careful look on the back of the Mecha, the running soldier shook his head and said, "The weapons system cannot be repaired."

Xiang Weiguo sighed softly, then nodded his head and said, "Understood, completely destroy Mecha No. 3."

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Destroy it?"

Lizhizi also expressed surprise, "Destroy? Why destroy it?"

Xiang Weiguo shook his head softly and said, "Now is not the time to explain these things, according to regulations, Mechas that are damaged and cannot be repaired must be destroyed."

Lizhizi pursed his lips, then suddenly turned around, took the sword sheath off his back, threw it to the ground, leaned back against the Mecha, and the whole person leaned into the Mecha.

Xiang Weiguo’s eyebrows knitted, and the soldier’s face changed dramatically, but at that moment Gao Yuan immediately said, "It’s okay, it’s one of our own, don’t panic."

The soldier exclaimed anxiously, "But..."

Xiang Weiguo said in a low voice, "This is the captain of Spark Squad, Gao Yuan, his word is an order, carry it out."

The soldier immediately stood at attention, saluted, and said loudly, "Yes!"

Lizhizi curled up inside the Mecha, his voice trembling as he said, "Such a good Mecha, how could we destroy it... How could we destroy it?"

While speaking, the breastplate switch in front of Lizhizi slowly closed, then slowly opened again, and then opened again, but when it was halfway open, the Mecha suddenly closed entirely, the helmet snapping shut fiercely.

The soldier said softly, "Operating a Mecha requires extensive training, an ordinary person can’t even... even..."

The Mecha began to move, at first slowly shuffling its feet, and then, the Mecha started to run quickly.

Gao Yuan looked at the soldier and asked, "Can’t even what?"

"Even walking is hard..."
