BXBX NOVEL Chapter 21
Chapter 21: Peter’s Trump Card
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this time, the white mecha appeared behind Peter.
The original height of the white mecha was 3.7 meters.
Now, it had suddenly increased to 6.8 meters.
There were four weapon systems on the shoulders of the white mecha.
These were weapon systems that were not equipped on Elementary-Leveled Mechas.
Carter looked confused.
He did not know how the Elementary-Leveled Mecha that Locke had previously operated suddenly turned into an Advanced-Leveled Mecha.
Could this be the mecha product that had been newly developed by the Locke Mecha Company?
Was this a mecha that could transform at will?
In order to ensure Locke’s safety while participating in this combat test, the Locke family had specially built a mecha that could transform for him.<
Carter’s gaze was fixed on the white Advanced-Leveled Mecha.
The current situation had changed.
This mecha that was operated by Locke could actually be upgraded into A-Grade mecha.
Amongst the people present, Locke had now become the strongest.
A-Grade mechas were very rare mechas in the Federation’s mecha army.
It couldn’t be helped as the cost of building an A-Grade mecha was too high.
Thus, there was no way to build A-Grade mechas on a large scale. On the other hand, the mecha army had the most number of D-Grade mechas.
For instance, only captains could operate a C-Grade mechas like the one operated by Carter.
Meanwhile, Carter was surprised to see Peter blow up the head of a B-Grade mutated vulture.
This meant that the power Peter showed could pose a threat to the C-Grade mecha that Carter operated.
However, no matter how powerful Peter’s attack was, he was still a body made of flesh and blood.
He was still unable to withstand the attack of a mecha.
Therefore, Carter was not worried that Peter would pose a threat to the mechas.
However, it was different now. Locke’s mecha was more advanced and could be upgraded.
Furthermore, Locke had always wanted to take Peter’s life.
After all, the key person here was Callie.
At that moment, Carter was having a headache. Nothing could happen to Callie.
Otherwise!
His mecha career would come to an end.
At this moment, Locke operated his A-Grade mecha.
The white mecha did not advance. Instead, it retreated rapidly.
Then, Locke operated his mecha to open his protective mask, and a sinister face appeared before everyone.
“Heh! You guys really escaped into the canyon. You’re really lucky.”
“However, the surveillance cameras sent by the Federation have been destroyed by the mutated vultures.”
“Nothing that happens here now will be known to the Federation.”
“I reckon that when the Federation sends reinforcements here, they will only be able to see the remains of mechas.”
When Locke finished speaking, he didn’t have to worry that what he’d said would be recorded by Carter.
After all, what was the point of keeping records when they were about to die?
Bang bang bang!
The white mecha instantly fired three high-explosive rounds.
His target was not Peter and others, but the mutated vultures above the canyon.
The high-explosive rounds exploded above the canyon.
As a result, the vultures that were preparing to attack were blown away.
This was equivalent to telling the other mutated vultures which hadn’t discovered the crack in the canyon that they should go there quickly as there were living humans down there.
“Damned Locke!”
Carter’s face darkened. He was very uneasy now.
This Locke planned to kill all of them in order to kill Peter.
Locke was no fool.
If he used the power of an A-Grade mech to attack Peter, there would definitely be evidence left behind. The Federation could directly retrieve the attack data from the mecha.
By then, Locke would still have to go to military court.
His family could reduce his punishment.
However, Locke felt that being punished by the Federation because of someone that he hated was something that could not be allowed to happen.
Besides, there were readily available helpers. Why did he have to do it himself?
The angered vultures would tear Peter and the others to shreds.
As expected, a large number of mutated vultures appeared at the crack above the canyon.
They had all been attracted by the high-explosive bullets fired by Locke.
The densely packed mutated vultures filled the crack above the canyon.
The originally dim canyon was now shrouded in darkness.
Carter looked anxious. He didn’t dare to turn on the lighting equipment.
He could only activate his voice transmission and control his voice.
“Peter! Put Callie down…”
“You… run!”
Peter instantly understood Carter’s intentions.
He did not want him to stay here and implicate Carter and the rest.
Just now, after Locke appeared, Callie whispered to him.
It turned out that Locke was the one who had snatched away his position in the mecha course.
It was no coincidence that they had been attacked by mutated wild boars either.
It was all planned by Locke to kill him.
Peter didn’t answer Carter.
Instead, he walked to the defensive circle formed by the Mecha Warriors.
He put Callie down and let her enter the defensive circle formed by the mechas.
Callie seemed to guess what Peter was going to do next.
“Peter, you can’t be stubborn…”
When Peter punched the B-Grade mutated vulture just now…
She was also very shocked.
However, Peter was now facing so many mutated vultures.
It was still very dangerous.
Peter ignored Callie.
After putting Callie down, Peter turned back to Carter.
“Lieutenant Colonel Carter, turn on the lights!”
Hm?
Carter wondered what this guy wanted to do.
Turning on the lights would mean that he would be completely exposed.
“Twenty times more rage!”
In an instant!
Peter’s muscles began to swell.
This scene frightened Carter.
“Carter, turn on the lights!”
