Ming Zhi Tian jumped off Buck's back and executed a low sweep. He then pulled out his specially modified rifle.
With lightning speed, he fired three sabot rounds towards the trigger guards of the three heavy machine guns, hitting their mark precisely!
The sabot rounds instantly jammed the trigger guards, depriving the three machine gunners of their advantage.
"What?!"
Someone exclaimed, "The instructor truly lives up to his name!"
But the three machine gunners quickly regained their composure. Seeing Ming Zhi Tian advance, they swiftly drew their boot knives in their left hands and **** in their right, ready to attack or defend.
However, they were merely Qian Kun level. Ming Zhi Tian subdued the three of them with just a few bare-handed blows.
Ming Zhi Tian then grabbed a **** and provided covering fire, shouting, "Buck!"
Buck didn't hesitate, carrying Tian Ran Lin as they ran through the barrage of gunfire!
Ming Zhi Tian roared, "Get down!"
Buck immediately dropped, sliding forward as laser fire whizzed past with a buzzing sound: "Buzz buzz buzz... Sizzle..."
Ming Zhi Tian knew they were clad in high-tech alloy armor, making them difficult to injure without heavy weaponry. He seized the opportunity, jumping onto Buck's back, "Go!"
Buck leaped, clearing the encirclement from the unguarded center!
"Damn it! Chase!..."
Tian Ran Mei and Kuang Lang felt increasingly uneasy. According to their plan, Ming Zhi Tian should have emerged from the rear or flanks, where twenty super tanks would have pulverized him.
But they never anticipated that Ming Zhi Tian would deviate from the script, bypassing the rear and side walls and heading straight for the front, where they coincidentally had no super tanks stationed.
Tian Ran Mei heard the comms unit: "Quick! The instructor has escaped through the front!"
Clad in a tight red outfit, Tian Ran Mei slammed the comms unit in anger, "Useless! All of you are useless! Kuang Lang, with me!"
Kuang Lang gritted his teeth, clearly unwilling to obey this young woman's orders, but given her status as vice-regimental commander, he had no choice but to follow.
Though both were late-stage Divine level, Kuang Lang found her constant flitting and fussing before him utterly unbearable.
Buck, burdened with carrying two people, was clearly struggling. Tian Ran Mei and Kuang Lang, traveling at full speed and taking a shortcut, finally intercepted them.
The two sides faced each other. Ming Zhi Tian spoke, "Long time no see, Mei. I remember you as a little girl. I can't believe how much you've matured in the blink of an eye. Are you married?"
Tian Ran Mei's face flushed. Kuang Lang started to speak, but Ming Zhi Tian continued, "And Kuang Lang, are you still so unruly? Have you been training well in my absence?"
Kuang Lang sneered, "Thank you for your concern, instructor. No, the last time I tried to kill you, I believe I said it was the last time I would call you instructor. Why have you returned? Seeking death?"
Ming Zhi Tian shook his head, "I have someone to save, and a conspiracy to stop."
Tian Ran Mei said, "Instructor, I disagree with your words. Haven't you repented yet? Whether you believe in Lord Kong Chang or not, as soldiers, our duty is to obey orders, even if we are wrong."
Ming Zhi Tian smiled slightly, "Even if we are wrong? Mei, you've disappointed me. Stiff-necked! Unreasonable."
Kuang Lang scoffed, "You're the one who's unreasonable."
Ming Zhi Tian said sternly, "I'm unreasonable? You should know that Kong Tian Xing plans to use nuclear weapons to split the Celestial Sphere in two..."
Tian Ran Mei replied, "We know that. That's why the nuclear weapon was wasted the day you were captured. Instructor, why couldn't you just surrender?"
Ming Zhi Tian laughed, "You blame me? Ha. Do you know what it means to cut the Celestial Sphere in half? It means the end of the world! Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, ruin for all! The land will eventually be submerged by the ocean, and the entire world will become underwater cities. Our home, all sunk beneath the waves."
