Superstars of Tomorrow

Chapter 502: Our Secret Weapon

After equipping himself, Nanfeng headed upstairs with the weapons case.

Nanfeng thought that the backyard would be under the most pressure since Fang Zhao was stationed there, so he first went there.

Flames erupted in the sky from time to time. The mass of trees made it difficult to see the overall situation clearly. However, the loud explosions meant that the fighting between the Inter-planetary Fund and Tomorrow’s Empire was still raging.

Huge fireballs rose into the sky in the distance, and the entire night sky was dyed red. The ground shook, and there was no way to ascertain which side held the advantage.

Nanfeng’s heart was thumping. He calmed himself down and raised his gun. He looked through the scope and had his finger on the trigger.

Here it comes!

Nanfeng fixed his sights on a target and prepared to fire...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The target he was aiming at was eliminated before he even fired. Besides this target, there were also sounds of other things falling to the ground. Some were targets Nanfeng had noticed, while others had fallen before he even noticed them.

The shots had been fired by Fang Zhao.

He was just one person, yet he had such overwhelming and suppressive firepower.

Before Nanfeng could even fire, Fang Zhao had already gotten rid of a whole wave.

Nanfeng: “...”

Never mind. This round of attacks isn’t over yet!

Nanfeng continued to wait.

But, very quickly, Nanfeng sensed something wasn’t right when he heard an approaching sound.

This movement...

Assault mecha!

The enemies are actually using an assault mecha!

The defense systems were fully engaged and stopped bullets and cannons in the air. Still, the enemy offensive came quickly and ferociously. Nanfeng was concerned that the Inter-planetary Fund wouldn’t be able to stop it, but Yan Biao had said that they would be okay if they could hold out against this wave.

Nevertheless, the situation seemed very unfavorable for them against an assault mecha. The guns they had weren’t enough.

Nanfeng glanced at the weapons case he brought over and brainstormed how best to help Fang Zhao defend the area. Suddenly, he saw the mecha ahead being... kicked away!

Indeed, Fang Zhao had kicked that mecha! And it was sent flying away!

The mecha crashed into the ground, leaving a crater.

Nanfeng: “...”

This doesn’t make sense!

My Boss has superhuman strength!

He then surveyed the backyard. The defense system along with his superhuman Boss made Nanfeng entirely useless. He couldn’t even find an opportunity to raise his gun.

Doesn’t it seem like I’m not needed here?

Now aware of this cruel truth, Nanfeng didn’t delay any more. He quashed his turbulent doubts and moved to reposition himself.

He didn’t know how Fang Zhao could be this strong. Perhaps Fang Zhao’s body was aided by some confidential and highly advanced technology. However, he didn’t have much time to mull over this.

Yan Biao had told him not to be shocked, regardless of what he saw. Perhaps he had meant this?

Nanfeng tossed away the random thoughts and listened intently for outside activity. He checked the defense system’s real-time metrics.

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were to the left and right. Due to the terrain, these sides were under less offensive pressure. With the defense system, Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were doing fine for the time being and didn’t need Nanfeng’s support.

Check the front yard!

Yan Biao said there was no need to bother about the front yard. Does that mean that the Inter-planetary Fund is handling that?

However, Nanfeng still felt anxious. From the sounds of things, it seemed like the gunfire intensity was increasing. The front yard was hard to defend. There would be a lot of pressure if more enemy mechas mobilized.

Nanfeng carried his weapons case and headed in the direction of the front yard.

The lights within the house had all been extinguished. Nanfeng was very familiar with the house, so between his knowledge and the flashes of explosion, Nanfeng moved very quickly.

Nanfeng stopped in his tracks when he passed by the living room.

The main door wasn’t tightly shut. However, there wasn’t any sign of forced entry, and the defense system hadn’t issued any warning of a breach.

The main door would automatically shut if no one had activated it to open. But now, there was a dog tag stuck in between, preventing it from being closed fully.

Nanfeng found that dog tag very familiar. It belonged to Curly Hair. Nanfeng had seen it when he was out walking Curly Hair today.

No wonder he hadn’t heard any barks from Curly Hair throughout this great ruckus. It seemed as though he had run out.

But, at such a time, there was only one outcome for a pet dog running into a battlefield. He would be obliterated to the point of no remains.

All Nanfeng could do was pray that Curly Hair would have enough luck to survive the battlefield.

300 million... no, a priceless dog!

Nanfeng’s heart ached dearly, and his eyes welled up. In Nanfeng’s eyes, Curly Hair was no longer purely a pet dog. Besides the value, there were sentiments from having known each other for so long, and Nanfeng felt an additional sense of responsibility for him. Curly Hair had even rendered meritorious service and was unlike any other.

Nanfeng tried listening attentively again but didn’t hear Curly Hair’s barks. He wasn’t inside, and there weren’t any dog barks from outside.

Nanfeng’s tears were on the verge of flowing.

However, this wasn’t the time to be sad. Nanfeng kept his feelings in check as he shoved the dog tag into his pocket. He shut the main door tightly and went up to a window on the second floor.

Downstairs didn’t afford a very good view of the battlefield. Now that he had a better vantage point, Nanfeng’s eyebrows twitched.

Debris, grass and dirt were sent into the air as loud booms rang out continuously. Under the flashes of cannon fire and explosions, there was a threatening metallic glimmer.

With his naked eye, Nanfeng saw a huge robot-like monster running down everything without any resistance behind all the blazes and smoke.

Of the three mechas at the front, one was stomped, one was sent flying and the last one was bitten in half.

There was another mecha not too far away that had been disabled in the first confrontation When that monster turned around and returned, it stomped on the mecha again.

The metal screeched as fragments and sparks scattered. The scene was extremely brutal. Nanfeng felt suffocated!

Nanfeng’s bulging eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. He felt every single cell in his body trembling. He closed the windows as quickly as he could and ran towards the underground room. At the same time, he called out to Yan Biao through the comms.

“Brother Biao! The enemy is using some secret weapon! The front yard can’t be held any longer!

“That fiendish monster is definitely a demonic entity!!

“It can crush a mecha as easily as one crushes a can!

“That is something totally beyond our means to defend against. Our weapons won’t do anything to it! I am going to the armory now to see whether there is anything we can use!”

Even though he had only gotten a few glimpses, Nanfeng was certain that if that assault mecha below ground had a combat level of 100, that monster in the front yard was definitely over 9,000! How can we even fight it?!

Now, Nanfeng could only hope that the Inter-planetary Fund would send reinforcements over as soon as possible. He didn’t know how long they could hold out in the house. Or, if Fang Zhao came over, they could perhaps hold out a little while more?

While Nanfeng’s thoughts were running wild, he heard Yan Biao say, “That is our secret weapon!”

Screech!

Nanfeng’s shoes slid against the ground as he came to a sudden stop.

“Huh???” Nanfeng was taken aback.

“That’s Curly Hair!” Yan Biao added.

Nanfeng: “...”

???

!!!

Nanfeng thought he was hearing things.

What did he say that thing was?

Curly... Hair?

I don’t believe that!!!

His entire world turned dizzy.

In a daze, Nanfeng stumbled back to the window. He widened his eyes and watched the scene outside without blinking.

That robotic monster ferociously ripped a mecha in two with its teeth and tossed the half in its mouth into the air. After taking a few shots on its body, it shook off all the fragments as though it was dirt before going on another rampage.

Nanfeng’s entire body was trembling.

“It... it bit through another mecha...”

Although Yan Biao hadn’t seen it personally, he could picture the scene that Nanfeng described. “Don’t be shocked, it’s just a basic function.”

Nanfeng: “...”

Basic function? What basic function?

He had heard every single word clearly, yet it seemed like he didn’t understand a single word that was said.

His disarrayed mind was falling apart.
