Jiang Linyu was also enraged at this moment, and he and Hu Yiming launched an attack on the cloud-horned deer together in their mecha.
This was just a training exercise, and this place was carefully selected by the school and had been used for many years. There was some danger for the students, but it was not to the point that they were completely powerless.
Therefore, before the training, in order to ensure that the students could achieve the desired training effect, the firearms inside the mechas were removed. Otherwise, if firearms were used, these beasts would naturally be powerless to fight back, and the training would be meaningless.
Therefore, Hu Yiming and Jiang Linyu only remembered this matter when they planned to kill these cloud-horned deer with firearms.
“Damn it!”
At this moment, Liu Jingce and the others also arrived from behind.
“What’s going on?” “Isn’t it said that cloud-horned deer don’t attack unless provoked?” “Why are they suddenly attacking us?” Liu Jingce shouted as he dealt with the cloud-horned deer.
“How would I know?” Hu Yiming was also furious. Although he really wanted to get the antlers of the cloud-horned deer, it was just a thought and he hadn’t actually done anything about it. Did these cloud-horned deer have mind-reading abilities?
“Let’s not talk about this now, let’s break through first. There are more and more cloud-horned deer, they’re very difficult to deal with, let’s get out of here first,” the captain said.
“No! These despicable beasts dared to attack me! I’ll show them that not just anyone can attack me!” Hu Yiming roared. He couldn’t swallow this insult. This was the first time he had been chased so badly, even worse than before.
“Stop fooling around. This is no ordinary wild beast.” Another companion couldn’t help but scold Hu Yiming.
“If you’re scared, then leave!” Hu Yiming, always willful, ignored their words and charged straight at the cloud-horned deer.
Although the mecha was larger than the cloud-horned deer, the cloud-horned deer was very agile and had a strong jumping ability. They could easily jump onto the frame or even over the mecha. It was not an easy task to injure the cloud-horned deer. On the contrary, the mecha was attacked by the cloud-horned deer several times, and several parts of it began to dent.
“We don’t have any mecha repairmen in our team. If the mechas are damaged too badly, they won’t be usable anymore, and then we won’t be able to complete our mission. There’s no need for us to waste our time here.” The captain was dealing with the cloud-horned deer while also trying to persuade Hu Yiming.
However, Hu Yiming was already in a frenzy, especially since the cloud-horned deer had inflicted several damages on his beloved mecha, but he hadn’t managed to hit the cloud-horned deer at all, which made him furious.
Jiang Linyu originally wanted to teach these cloud-horned deer a lesson, just like Hu Yiming. However, it now seemed that the cloud-horned deer had already taught them a lesson. If this continued, his mecha would definitely be severely damaged. He was reluctant to damage his mecha, so Jiang Linyu was considering retreating.
This team was composed of students from the advanced class. Although four of them were not mecha majors, their physical level is at least Grade B. They all had their own mechas. Although they were not as good at piloting them as the mecha majors, they could still use them to escape.
No one wanted their mechas to be damaged unnecessarily because of Hu Yiming’s willfulness. If the mechas were damaged while capturing mission objectives, that would be one thing, but now it was clearly a pointless sacrifice, and everyone was immediately very dissatisfied with Hu Yiming.
He was the one who wanted to take a shortcut. He was the one who fought with the cloud-horned deer. And he was the one who couldn’t win but didn’t run away, dragging everyone else down with him. Suddenly, his dissatisfaction with Hu Yiming was about to overflow.
“Captain, we still need to keep our mechas for missions later. We can’t afford to damage them here any longer. We have to get out of here quickly,” a boy said. <Google Translate v2>
“Yes, we can’t beat these cloud-horned deer at all, and we’ll only get hurt more here,” another person chimed in.
This time, even Liu Jingce and Jiang Linyu, who are both majoring in mecha engineering, were considering running.
“Liu Jingce, Jiang Linyu, you two hold Hu Yiming up, we’re retreating,” the captain said after thinking for a while.
They couldn’t possibly leave Hu Yiming alone here, because something would definitely happen to him, and as members of the team, they wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility. But Hu Yiming wouldn’t listen to advice, so they had no choice but to take coercive measures.
Jiang Linyu and Liu Jingce knew this was the best solution at the moment, so they stepped forward and flanked Hu Yiming’s mecha from the left and right, intending to break through.
However, if they wanted to leave, they would have to ask the cloud-horned deer if they were willing. The cloud-horned deer had been waiting here for so many days before finally encountering them, so how could they let them leave so easily?
The leader of the cloud-horned deer roared again, and then more cloud-horned deer rushed out of the forest, surrounding Hu Yiming and the others and launching a fierce attack. For a time, Hu Yiming and the others were caught in a fierce battle.
Going back to the flamingos, after Luo Lingxing and the others finished breakfast, they waited for the first flamingo to return to its nest and also formulated a preliminary battle plan.
“Flamingos are birds and can fly. Our mechas don’t have the ability to fly. How are we going to deal with flamingos?” Jiang Ceqin asked.
“This is indeed a problem, but the mechas still have the ability to jump. If the flamingo doesn’t fly very high, we can take the opportunity to shoot it down first. We must be quick and accurate, and not give the flamingo too much reaction time. Otherwise, if we miss the best time, our operation will become more difficult,” Gao Zhiquan said.
Of the seven people, almost everyone except Luo Lingxing expressed their opinions. The fact that they didn’t ask Luo Lingxing’s opinion didn’t mean they didn’t respect him. On the contrary, they trusted Luo Lingxing too much. Once Luo Lingxing took action, they wouldn’t have a chance to participate. Therefore, they decided to hone their skills properly, which is why they didn’t let Luo Lingxing participate.
Luo Lingxing was happy to relax. At this time, he would usually connect to the home video call and look at his two babies. He was so leisurely that he didn’t seem like he was here to participate in a training exercise.
After agreeing on their plan, the group began to gather materials nearby to make makeshift weapons. After all, the ammunition had been confiscated earlier, but the weapons were still usable. They just needed to make their own ammunition.
Around noon, which was also the time when flamingos return to their nests, after finalizing the initial plan, everyone stood at attention and waited for the first flamingo to appear.
Sure enough, before long, a flamingo returned alone, carrying a wild animal in its claws, clearly bringing it back as food.
However, this flamingo probably never imagined that on its way home, it would become the target of others.
“Now’s the time. Let’s move!” Lu Yunming said to the others at the opportune moment.
Luo Lingxing sat in his mecha, silently watching the others’ battle. Gao Zhiquan and Liu Quanming used the crude weapons they had made earlier to launch at the flamingos. This was a plan they had devised after many discussions. If the flamingos flew too high, they would attack them with their homemade weapons first. Of course, the purpose of this attack was not to hurt the flamingos, but to provoke them and attract their attention. Flamingos are very proud creatures. Once they find someone daring to provoke them, they will definitely land and teach those who provoked them a lesson. After that, things would be easier.
Sure enough, when the flamingo realized that someone wanted to attack it, it began to descend its flight altitude, intending to catch the prey that had provoked it and have it for lunch.
The flamingos have descended to a lower altitude, making it easier for everyone to attack. However, the battle was still not easy, since the flamingos could fly and may take off at any time. Moreover, the flamingos’ claws and beaks were very sharp and could even tear through the mecha’s skin.
The group fought the flamingo for a while, but not only did they fail to inflict any damage on it, their own mechas were scratched.
Lu Yunming’s expression turned serious, his brows furrowed. If this continued, the other flamingos would soon return. They were already struggling to deal with just one. If several more came, they would be wiped out.
“Chirp!”
Just as he wished, before Lu Yunming could come up with a solution, several bird calls rang out from not far away, clearly indicating that the flamingo’s companions were about to arrive.
“Everyone, stop attacking! Retreat quickly! The flamingo’s companions are coming!” Lu Yunming shouted. Although the mission was not yet complete, retreating did not mean failure. They were just temporarily halting their attack and going back to make further plans. This time, they had come in a hurry and had not made proper preparations beforehand. However, with the experience of the first time, they believed that the second time would be smoother.
The others didn’t linger in the fight either. Upon hearing this, they immediately broke away from the battle and scattered in one direction. Only then did Luo Lingxing activate his mecha and follow them. The enraged flamingo continued to follow them relentlessly, calling out to its friends as it went.
“This can’t go on. Let’s split up and meet at our previous campsite,” Lu Yunming said. This way, at least the flamingo would be too busy to deal with everything until its companions arrived, and the others would be safer.
Everyone had obviously considered the possibility that Lu Yunming had thought of, but precisely because of this, they were even more unable to separate and act together. At least their combat strength would be stronger. If the flamingo only chased one person, that person would probably be in even greater danger.
“No need to split up, keep speeding up. If this damn bird keeps chasing us, we’ll just take it out and get the mission objective,” Gao Zhiquan said viciously.
Whether the flamingo understood or its companions hadn’t caught up yet, the flamingo miraculously stopped chasing and flew in the opposite direction, much to everyone’s relief.
Gao Zhiquan and his group were in a rather disheveled state as they were chased by the flamingos, while Hu Yiming’s situation was only worse.
They would probably never know that although the little cloud-horned deer whose antlers were cut off did not remember the specific appearance of Luo Lingxing and the others, it did remember the characteristics of the strange animal “human”. And because the little deer had nowhere to vent its anger because its antlers were cut off, Hu Yiming and the others delivered themselves to its door. Wasn’t this obviously letting them vent their anger?
Finally able to catch their breath, Luo Lingxing and the others found a relatively safe place to start planning their next flamingo hunt.
