detailed content.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Shu immediately praised Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming responded indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as they were talking, a sudden red light lit up from within a dilapidated office building ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Shu spotted the danger first and yelled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something’s wrong, be careful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the crumbling building wall was shattered, and an eight-meter-tall Iron Knight covered in red armor rushed at them like a whirlwind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Shu pulled the trigger, firing a grenade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iron Knight agilely dodged the incoming grenade, which then exploded behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, several fallen Iron Knights around them lit up their red electronic eyes without any warning and cold-started rapidly, charging at Su Ming and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dodge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming warned Chen Tong, and the two hastily split up to dodge to the sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacking Iron Knight swung its Mechanical Blade, violently chopping it into the ground and creating a startling gash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, take cover!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu and the others panicked and ran frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dodging, Su Ming immediately controlled the cumbersome Iron Head to turn around, raising the Blast Machine Gun and firing at the red Iron Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, bang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iron Knight quickly dodged the barrage of bullets, and almost all of Su Ming’s shots missed, with only a few hitting but causing minimal damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming was momentarily speechless; both were First Generation Mechas, but the opponent’s agility was a level higher than Iron Head’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, curses from Shi Wu and others continuously came over the communication channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are these Iron Knights so fast and responsive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do they feel stronger than ours if they’re all First Generation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi Duo, stop complaining, one is heading your way,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Shu warned Qi Duo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly stiffening, Qi Duo looked up just in time to see an Iron Knight dodging gunfire and charging at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qi Duo could react, the Iron Knight slashed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to dodge, Qi Duo panickedly pulled out his Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade to block!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With sparks flying, Qi Duo successfully blocked the attack and staggered back a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Duo, powering up his mecha to the max, deflected the opponent’s weapon and then exclaimed in surprise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not as strong as Iron Head!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that Iron Head wasn’t completely useless; although cumbersome, it seemed to have better strength and defense than the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming’s eyes flickered upon hearing Qi Duo’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the Iron Knight attacking him and Chen Tong charged at them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tong kept firing, but the Knight dodged swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that it was closing in on Su Ming, he immediately yelled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Ming, dodge quick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t mind me, keep shooting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming, fixing his gaze on the oncoming Iron Knight, suddenly pushed the control lever to the limit as soon as the distance between them reached a critical point, causing the Iron Head to burst forward with unleashed power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Ming charge forward, the Iron Knight swung its Mechanical Blade directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Ming sharply maneuvered the Iron Head Mecha to dodge, and the Mechanical Blade missed entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a loud bang, the Iron Head violently collided with the Iron Knight, causing it to stagger back and finally fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Su Ming raised his Blast Machine Gun and fired furiously at the fallen Iron Knight’s chest from close range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, bang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blast Bullets hit the Iron Knight, sending sparks flying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Ming emptied his magazine, a huge hole had been breached in the Iron Knight’s chest, effectively rendering it useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, both Su Ming and Chen Tong’s operation interfaces displayed a prompt:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Defeated: First Generation Guardian Mecha·Iron Knight, score gained: 2 points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Assisted in Defeat: First Generation Guardian Mecha·Iron Knight, score gained: 1 point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming looked at the refreshed scores and was somewhat speechless, just this many points for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed nearly impossible to achieve a high score by just taking down enemies, one might just die instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now was not the time to think about these, Su Ming turned his head to look at Xiang Shu and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his discovery, Xiang Shu and his team had withstood the sneak attack from the Iron Knights, continuously shooting at the fast-moving Iron Knights, keeping them from getting too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are the students of First Academy this strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their shooting skills are so good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tong also felt a bit incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They have better resources, probably often practice on real mechs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming calmly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I get it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tong replied with some frustration, despite his hard work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the city exam, he felt somewhat inferior compared to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worries, train more, and you’ll catch up gradually.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming noticed Chen Tong’s mood and comforted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhou Li’s panicked voice came through the communication channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help, it’s charging over!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming and his team were startled and immediately looked towards Zhou Li’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Li was firing non-stop at the high-speed moving Iron Knight, but her shooting was too poor, and the Iron Knight was using the terrain to dodge and get close, nearly reaching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t panic, girl, engage in melee, I’ll come to help after I deal with this one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Shu was also shocked and hurriedly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Li replied in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Zhou Li’s gun ran out of ammunition, needing a magazine change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Iron Knight seized the gap, rushed to Zhou Li’s side, and lifted its Mechanical Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Li controlled her mecha to turn around, instinctively using her firearm to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Iron Knight’s blade directly cleaved Zhou Li’s firearm in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it lifted its mechanical left hand, the gun barrel embedded in its arm fiercely unleashing bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Li’s mecha was sprayed at close range, sending sparks flying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Li’s terrified screams continued to echo in the communication channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Su Ming violently pushed the power control lever to the limit, the Iron Head’s power unit emitted a piercing roar, and the back jet opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Su Ming controlling the Iron Head, flew at ultra-low altitude towards the Iron Knight, swiftly exchanging his firearm for a Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Su Ming got close, the Iron Knight seemed to sense danger and turned abruptly to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late, Su Ming swung his Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade and directly stabbed it into its chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Iron Knight collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhou Li’s Iron Head also staggered and fell, the armor on its chest severely damaged, revealing some sparking circuits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, the Iron Head was tough and hadn’t completely failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Li hadn’t died, Su Ming stopped worrying about her and turned to look at the surrounding battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then realized that other Iron Knights were being taken down one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was normal, their side had twelve mechas, and the enemy, at most, had seven; the reason they were so embarrassed was mainly due to the surprise attack.\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-02T10:49:54.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","bc258de2a399c7b9104b531e886838b6535e995285ffeb9afb24bf8952100611","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-59","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-57",1854,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshadows-of-the-deep-space-cover.jpg"]
