Chapter 153 - 153 153 Preparing for Battle (Extra for Alliance Leader Dreaming of Flowing Fire) (Fourth Update)

153: Chapter 153: Preparing for Battle (Extra for Alliance Leader Dreaming of Flowing Fire) (Fourth Update) 153: Chapter 153: Preparing for Battle (Extra for Alliance Leader Dreaming of Flowing Fire) (Fourth Update) Su Ming and the others immediately perked up their ears to listen; they were about to start allocating weapons.

“First of all, the ship is equipped with advanced weapons: 20 Third Generation Interstellar Fighters·Fire Snake and 20 Third Generation Mecha·Wind Chaser, all of which are for the exclusive use of the third-year elite personnel.

I will send the specific usage list to the pilots.

In addition, there are two Fourth Generation Pure Mechanical Mecha·Shadow Slayers which will be piloted by Begfin and Oliver.

The rest will use Second Generation Fighters and Second Generation Mecha.”

Irelia had allocated all the advanced weapons to the senior students.

“Ah, I thought I could snag a Third Generation Mecha to pilot.”

Rhein and the others expressed their regret to Su Ming upon hearing this.

“This is to be expected.

If I were the commander, I would do the same.”

Su Ming was quite calm about it.

At that moment, Irelia made another announcement.

“Next up is the combat personnel formation.

Everyone will be organized into squads of ten people and companies of fifty.

Additionally, to enhance the teamwork among squad members, you are free to form your own teams with acquaintances.

Upload your respective code numbers, and we will prioritize placing you in the same unit.

You have ten minutes; anyone who exceeds this time will be automatically assigned to a group!

Once all groups are formed, immediately log into your Mecha or fighter and start preparing for battle.”

“Squad leader, we only have thirty people, not fifty, right?”

Rhein and the others immediately approached Su Ming to discuss.

“I know, find some people to fill the spots.”

Su Ming quickly scanned around, hoping to find Lin Chuyu to team up with.

However, he soon realized that Lin Chuyu had not come to Hangar 2 and must have gone to another hangar with classmates.

Suddenly, he felt as if someone were watching him.

He turned his head and scanned the surroundings again, only to see Su Bin in the crowd behind him to the right.

Su Bin had been staring at Su Ming with a very gloomy look.

Su Ming was also slightly surprised; he hadn’t expected Su Bin to have made it through the selection and participate in the competition.

And that look didn’t seem very friendly.

When Su Bin saw Su Ming looking at him, he pretended to act nonchalant and turned his head to look elsewhere.

Just then, Qin Feng came over with a group of people.

“Su Ming.”

“Qin Feng?”

Su Ming replied, a bit surprised.

“Should we join forces and form a team?

Our class doesn’t have enough people.

Although we haven’t interacted much in the past, we’re all from the same year; I think we’d get along well.”

Qin Feng explained his purpose to Su Ming and the others.

Of course, one very important reason Qin Feng and his group chose Su Ming’s team was that they were optimistic about Su Ming and his peers.

Even though they were from Class 23, they had proved their strength with their fists during the selection process.

“Okay, how many of you are there?”

Su Ming still held Qin Feng in high regard.

“We have 20 people.”

Qin Feng promptly replied.

“We have 30 people.

If you want to join us, our class leader will be the captain, and you’ll be the vice-captain,”

Rhein and the others immediately clarified the terms.

“No problem,”

Qin Feng agreed without hesitation.

“That settles it then.

Everyone send me your codes, and I’ll upload them!”

Su Ming instructed decisively.

Following that, Qin Feng and his peers sent their codes to Su Ming using their Exoskeleton Armor·Rock Steel.

After organizing the information, Su Ming proceeded to upload the codes.

About a few seconds later, Su Ming and the others received a message from the command center:

“Company C12 established.

Please immediately log into your Mecha and start refueling.

Prepare for battle!”

“Let’s go, into the Mecha!”

Su Ming led everyone toward the Second Generation Mecha·Raider up front.

At this moment, Yu Wei, who was walking beside Qin Feng, quietly asked him,

“Qin Feng, how do you know him?

And the name Su Ming sounds so familiar; where have I heard it before?”

“He is a student from Thirteenth District Mient Intermediate Academy.”

“I remember now, isn’t he the student who attempted suicide over Lin Chuyu?

But that doesn’t seem right; this Su Ming is calm and collected, not the type to appear frail and weak,”

Yu Wei suddenly remembered and spoke with astonishment.

“Cough cough, although I also find it odd, let’s not talk behind his back.

Maybe things aren’t as the rumors suggest,”

Qin Feng replied in a hushed voice.

“Okay,”

Yu Wei quickly nodded in agreement.

Before long, Su Ming and his team arrived in front of the raider mecha, ready to activate the hover system and board.

Suddenly, a voice called out,

“Wait a moment.”

Su Ming and the others curiously turned their heads.

They saw a female medic with short hair, wearing a medical uniform, stopping in front of them with a medical transport vehicle.

She said to Su Ming and the others,

“I’ve brought combat medical kits, one for each person.

Take one; it could save your life in a critical moment.”

“Thank you, take one each,”

Su Ming quickly called out to Qin Feng and the others.

The medic then introduced to Su Ming and the others,

“The medical kit contains an adrenaline shot, pain relief injections, and coagulants, plus nutritional bars for energy recovery.

Use them as the situation requires.”

“Great, thank you!”

Su Ming replied with deep gratitude.

“It’s my duty.

I’ll go deliver these to the other students now.”

The medic then drove off in the medical vehicle.

Su Ming and the others activated the hover systems under their feet, floated to the cockpit, and, with practiced ease, opened the hatches and climbed inside.

They sat at the controls, sealed the cockpits, and started up the Mecha!

One by one, the raiders’ eyes lit up.

Su Ming opened the communication system of the Mecha and gave instructions to Rhein and the others:

“All personnel, immediately check your Mecha; confirm the status of energy, weapons, and ammunition.”

“Understood!”

Rhein and others responded.

After entrusting the checks to the others, Su Ming quickly began to inspect the parameters and equipment of his own Mecha:

“Power fuel rod: 60%”

“Damage level: 0%”

“Auxiliary ejection device module: Equipped.”

“CK-01 type concealed Beam Cannon*1”

“Handheld weapon: Spiral Alloy Long Spear.”

“Handheld weapon module: Not equipped.”

“Ammunition hold: 0%”

…

Checking these data, Su Ming frowned with concern.

This raider was supposed to be a high-spec model, fitted with a CK-01 type concealed Beam Cannon, but the fuel and weapons were not fully prepared.

However, at this moment, a cheerful voice came over the public channel for the area,

“Dear students, I am Chen Qun, a third-year logistics major.

Please be patient and wait at your stations, we are now beginning to refuel your units!

Also, we will send a list of selectable weapons for you to choose from; make your selections, and we will arm you in the shortest possible time.”

Folloqing Chen Qun’s announcement, a list of weapon selection options popped up on Su Ming’s interface.

Su Ming couldn’t help but admire inwardly; this time his teammates were truly incomparable to the group from the city exam.
