Chapter 341: Which Company is This, After All?
As the seemingly inconspicuous heavy truck passed by the six off-road floating cars, the only thing that caught the bearded man's attention was a second glance, nothing more out of the ordinary.
"Golden Crystal Logistics" the words were too conspicuous, logistic vehicles were a common sight.
So he shifted his gaze.
However, at that moment, someone behind the bearded man muttered, "Since when did the trucks of a logistics company get so big? What are they delivering?"
"Right, Golden Crystal Logistics... I remember it was just acquired not long ago."
The speaker was thoughtless, and so was the listener, but when these words entered his mind, combined with the scene in front of him.
The bearded man suddenly slapped the steering wheel, "Something's off, follow that truck closely!"
All six cars started and moved in to tail the truck.
"They've noticed us." Even if Black hadn't said a word, Mu Fan had already realized what was happening behind him.
"Black, plow through!"
The youth's voice carried an urgency,
Boom!
With the roar of the mighty engine, the heavy truck suddenly accelerated, pushing its power to the limit.
The already massive vehicle, like an enraged giant, started sprinting forward violently.
Its furious momentum and thunderous noise caused pedestrians and other vehicles to desperately dodge out of the way.
The heavy truck kept speeding straight ahead without slowing down.
"Damn, that truck has a problem!"
The bearded man, like a raging lion, let out a roar, "Chase it down and bring that truck to a halt!"
The off-road floating cars, under the horrified gazes of the bystanders, emitted earth-shaking roars as they surged forward.
The final moment had come, and evasive maneuvers were no longer an option.
Mu Fan could not possibly stop the vehicle!
"Fire the large harpoons and snag that truck!"
Atop the six vehicles, large harpoon guns rose up and were shot fiercely at the heavy truck.
These were specially modified harpoons designed to hook into steel plates with reversing barbs.
Thud thud thud, thud thud thud!
A series of sounds erupted.
The harpoons had embedded into the canvas covering.
The bearded man bellowed, "Slow down, bring it to a stop!"
There was no choice left, if they allowed the heavy truck to enter the South Suburb Plain ahead, their tactics would be rendered useless.
Donatello's sinister words were still echoing in his ears.
The bearded man gritted his teeth and fiercely pressed the brake pedal.
Just stop already!
With a swoosh...
Following the instantaneous stopping of the six off-road cars, the taut green canvas was dragged down.
"What!"
"How did it not nail into the cargo box?"
"No, what is that, oh my God!"
The big harpoon guns hadn't nailed into anything because, as the heavy green canvas was pulled away, a bare black mecha lay quietly on the cargo bed.
The simple, unadorned armor almost reflected a metallic shine under the sunlight.
An entire mecha had been placed on the truck's flatbed, and what they had seen as a square outline was just a crude metal frame.
The sharp, massive steel pitchfork had fired but left not even a scratch on that armor.
The sounds they had heard were just the steel pitchforks striking and being deflected by the mecha's outer shell.
To think they assumed they'd hooked the vehicle, when in actuality they had only snagged the outermost layer of canvas.
The bearded man looked on in anger and despair at the scene unfolding before him, the worst-case scenario presenting itself abruptly.
Now, the unrelenting heavy truck, in the time they had stopped, had swiftly reached the deepest part of the road.
They were all deceived by the camouflage of this vehicle!
How had he evaded all those checkpoints on the road, and why had the Military Department said there was no discovery from start to finish?
Could it be that Colonel Li Shen lied to them about this matter?
How on earth had this abruptly appearing mecha and heavy truck come into existence?
Who could explain this to him now?
Regrettably, no one could explain, because as soon as Black's monitoring shield was lifted, Li Shen and his deputy at the city's surveillance center watched incredulously as the heavy truck suddenly appeared and the scene of being chased by six cars.
When the last black mecha came into view, Li Shen said coldly,
"Find out where this heavy truck just was!"
"Colonel, this heavy truck... was nowhere just now."
"It's as if it just popped up out of nowhere."
The communications soldier frowned miserably with his face, this kind of explanation was utterly infuriating, yet it could not go unsaid.
...
The raging heavy truck charged straight towards the South Suburb Plain with an air of crushing everything in its way.
When the sound was heard, the soldiers on the perimeter instantly received their orders.
Countless weapons were raised in an instant. On the perimeter of the South Suburb Plain was a low wall, with a caution tape ten meters outside serving as a warning.
This was a military control zone, and if that heavy truck dared to crash into the wall, they would not hesitate to pull the trigger and shred the heavy truck to pieces.
The barrel of the Autonomous Artillery stared them down menacingly.
However, Mu Fan's gaze remained indifferent as it swept over them, drifting towards the entrance where the warning tape had been pulled aside and a crowd had gathered along with numerous pieces of mechanical equipment.
That conspicuous military troop was like a lighthouse in the night, providing him the best direction at this moment.
"Black, charge through!"
And so, amidst the shocked gazes and hurried evasions of countless onlookers, the heavy truck took a swift and violent sharp turn, charging directly towards that place.
Wang Nuonuo, who was quietly sitting inside the Floating Car waiting for Mu Fan's message, suddenly heard an unusual roaring sound getting louder from a distance, and then she looked up to see the panic-stricken faces outside the car window.
Following their direction, Wang Nuonuo quickly looked back.
As a result, she saw a huge, raging dark shadow thundering past right before her eyes, kicking up billowing dust.
"Stop that heavy truck, stop your speed!"
"Military control zone, vehicle stop."
"Crowd, disperse quickly."
Then, a heavy-duty truck smashed through the warning tape with a powerful tail-skid stop, making a dramatic entrance into the view of everyone.
The skid marks on the ground ran parallel to the wall for over twenty meters!
With such a bold stance, the immense figure charged into the central area that was the focus of everyone's attention, with a trail of dust billowing behind.
Flashbulbs burst into life all around!
Countless journalists desperately pressed their cameras to capture the moment.
"Who is it!"
"Be alert!"
Watching the heavy truck that had abruptly come to a stop, the duty officer bellowed a command, and the patrolling police mechas instantly swung their gun barrels around.
Rows of soldiers opened their safeties and aimed their guns at the truck in unison with precise movements.
As the urgent warning bell sounded, almost everyone inside and outside the South Suburb Plain raised their heads in confusion.
Who would dare cause trouble here today?
The dust kicked up by the furious charging enveloped the area.
The spectators and media kept their eyes fixed on the gradually emerging silhouette of the vehicle.
With a hiss, the roaring heavy-duty truck shut off its engine, and its pounding heart also slowly calmed down.
The bare black mecha was thus directly revealed to everyone.
The mecha on the cargo bed was firmly secured with steel cables, but from the head to the arms, to the legs, its huge stature left no doubt that this was a real mecha!
Yet what was puzzling was that there was no company name or logo on either the heavy truck or the mecha.
Which team could it be that made such a barbaric entrance?
Amidst everyone's confusion and bewilderment, the driver's door suddenly popped open...
