Chapter 376: Golden Wheel War God

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Had the luck of the Solar System run out?

S-class? You son of a b****, this was even rarer than getting a D-class mission.

The actual probability of a D-class mission was 0.9%. In fact, there was still an S-class mission with a probability of one-thousandth of a chance, but it had never appeared before as no one had drawn it.

This dammed luck was just encountered by Wang Zheng. You might as well just go buy a lottery ticket!

The many years of careful planning by Meng Ao had been thrown away by the heavens.

This was God that was not allowing the Solar System to have a chance!

After a brief moment to calm down, the generals all laughed. “Oh, your luck in the Solar System is really good.”

“Seems like Aslan is not a blessed ground for you.”

At this moment, another voice sounded, which immediately shut everyone up.

“Wang Zheng chooses to accept.”

Everyone was whispering. Was this guy crazy? Perhaps a courageous person could risk it all on an A-class mission. But with an S-class mission, the original intentions were to not allow anyone to pass the round. But it was still accepted. If this wasn’t insane, what else was? Did he have brain damage?

Suicide?

Army personnel did indeed have suicidal tendencies, especially when they were in the wrong and had to bear the responsibility.

“Wang Zheng, what the hell are you thinking!?” Meng Ao shouted. Although he had been angry at him, after calming down, Wang Zheng was still an important talent. There was a price to pay for his growth, and although this time around it was rather significant, it was still bearable. He had never thought that Wang Zheng would choose to kill himself.

“Meng Ao, it seems that the quality of your Earth soldiers needs to improve. You shouldn’t be getting anxious from such a matter. If they were in the wrong, they should have sounded out beforehand,” Aslan’s Major General Rodriguez said. He was only 40 or so years old, and was the backbone of Aslan’s military. However, he still had good relations with the Solar System Federation.

“Rodriguez, do you think this is a show?” Lieutenant General Troye of Arbiter said coldly, showing the prestige that every individual had in this room, and not noticing the little tricks that Rodriguez had planted. However, the S-class difficulty was indeed a little overboard, and the rest were not able to take this seriously.

“Of course not, this is the first time that the S-class mission has appeared. I believe no one has been clear on this before. Wang Zheng, listen carefully. The probability of an S-class mission was one-thousandth of a chance, but it is not something impossible to complete. I’ll say it clearly now: you make your decision calmly.”

Rodriguez was indeed caught in a pitfall. As the chance of this occurring was indeed too low, no one had thought to explain it before.

However, this was just an excuse. It was because once the contents of the mission was placed in front of him, everyone would be able to understand why he felt this way.

Wang Zheng was very calm from the beginning to end, and performed a salute towards Meng Ao. “Reporting. General, I can accomplish this task!”

Very calm, as if there was not a trace of insanity.

One second… two seconds… three seconds…

The whole audience burst into laughter. “Meng Ao, consider me impressed. It turns out that your talent selection on Earth is based on their ability to speak.”

“He really doesn’t know his limits. The IG is not a joke. Since he’s already chosen, let’s begin. I do want to see if he is able to last at least five minutes!” Bole from Manalasuo coldly laughed.

Many generals hated this type of overconfidence.

Meng Ao was also speechless. Suddenly, he jolted awake. What if…?

Impossible. Did Wang Zheng want to be revived after his death, or did he want to replicate the previous miracle of the Phantom King?

“May I ask, according to the mission, may I choose any mech?”

“Yes, the mech database here is very well-equipped. As long as it is currently there, they will all be here, even if it is an Atlantean mech, although I am afraid you won’t be able to use it!”

“I choose Manalsuo’s Golden Wheel Battle King!” Wang Zheng said.

“You little punk, you’re seeking death!” Bole’s anger immediately burst out. This was simply a slap to his face. Everyone knew that the Golden Wheel Battle King was Manalsuo’s heartache, and this kid had still the gall to mock him right before his death.

Wang Zheng did not care about him, as it was useless to say anything more with his current identity and status.

S-class mission, location was the Devil Canyon. Choose a mech, and within three hours, kill five thousand zerglings.

On the No. 9 planet, there were a few place with huge Zerg nests, with more than ten thousand zerglings inside, and there was no lack of high-ranking zerglings. It goes without a doubt that there were more than enough to kill, but the problem was, you had to kill for three hours… Being able to survive for three minutes was already an issue.

“Wang Zheng, since you have already decided, you may warm up now. The mech and the transport ship are both waiting outside,” General Akerlof solemnly said.

No matter if it was a suicide attempt or not, the military would not treat this like a game.

When Wang Zheng saluted in front of Meng Ao, his expression still remained calm. Meng Ao returned the salute. There was no point is saying anything else at this juncture, as there was no turning back.

When Wang Zheng had chosen the Golden Wheel Battle King, Meng Ao had already lost all hope. He initially thought that Wang Zheng would pick the Phantom King, but regardless, the chances for success were slim.

Thirty-one captains had made their selection, and only two captains chose to accept it.

“Damn, the Solar System’s luck is too good!”

“Could it be that Aslan is doing something behind the scenes?”

“Who knows, but for this kind of trash, even if they had accepted, they wouldn’t be able to clear!”

“Che, perhaps they could still continue to fake their way through.”

“Then they’re in for a rough time. If they really got through, they would just die an even more horrible death in the next round!”

The captains were aware of the class of the mission that was chosen by others. Rationally, only those who had picked the B-class missions and below would choose to accept.

The generals did not leave, not bothering with the few minutes that this would take. It has to be said that Wang Zheng’s calmness had caused everyone present to have a different feeling in their minds.

It was certainly impossible to finish, but this kid had some backbone. Even in death, he was not willing to shame the Earth, and was willing to sacrifice himself.

General Bole’s expression was gloomy as apparently he did not expect the other party to shame Manalasuo. The Golden Wheel Battle King was not suited for live combat; this was something that everyone was aware of.

I’ll see how you’ll die!

Two holographic images, one was Wang Zheng’s, the other was Max’s, but everyone’s eyes were glued on Wang Zheng, including the generals of Clark planet.

The spaceship was approaching the Devil Canyon, which had one of the three largest nests on the No. 9 planet.

Don’t mention five thousand, even fifty thousand was only a drop in the bucket.

For locations where the bugs’ nest were especially complicated, the surroundings would be comparatively desolate, and the Devil Canyon was one such location.

“This guy’s definitely insane.”

“Entering this kind of place alone, he will just be torn to shreds.”

The two pilots bringing Wang Zheng in were also speechless. Let alone entering, even approaching this area was relatively dangerous. “Forget it, at least he has the courage to die. When I saw him just now, he wasn’t at the stage of being frightened until he pissed himself yet.”

Wang Zheng quietly sat in the Golden Wheel Battle King. The mech was good, very good, much better than what he used to practice with. In this regard, IG really did give their best.

Was he confident?

No!

Absolutely not, but he still had to do it. He was the team captain, it was a responsibility that he had to shoulder.

At this time, at Aslan, Aina was practicing her singing, and it was rare that Aina would be playing the guzheng at this time of the day. Because of Wang Zheng, she had fallen in love with Earth, which also included its culture.

She had been studying for quite some time and wanted to play it for Wang Zheng once she was done.

Snap…

Just as she was enjoying the music, one of the strings snapped, and the echoes of the song also abruptly stopped. Both girls could only look at each other, and without knowing why, a bad feeling arose…

What was death? Wang Zheng did not know. But to fight was to survive.

The spacecraft ejected an unmanned aircraft as it was dangerous to approach any further. They were only responsible for the transport, and that did not include the eventual burial.

The unmanned transport aircraft smoothly landed in the Devil Canyon, and it seemed as if countless eyes had fixated on it, the shuffling noise frightening anyone in the vicinity once it had reached a certain level.

Thousands of bugs rushed in from all directions, but there was only one mech in front of their eyes.

It was only at this moment that Meng Ao was desperate. He should not have stimulated these youths. Who would have thought that Wang Zheng would choose to accept the mission.

The surrounding generals all stood up and lightly patted Meng Ao. It was not easy to train a person, not to mention the captain of a team. Although he had made a mistake, using a death to make up for it would at least boost the morale of the rest of the members.

Bole looked at what was once the glory of Manalasuo, which had also become their Achilles’ heel, the Golden Wheel Battle King, and breathed a sigh.

Boom…

The mech burst into action, and the engine roared. It was obvious that Wang Zheng had no intentions of giving up. Not only was he not giving up, he had instead charged towards the group of bugs with the intent to kill.

This…

The distance was less than a hundred meters. Two huge golden wheels spun up wildly. Wang Zheng could only hear a buzzing sound in his ears and looked towards the countless bugs. Fear?

What was that thing!?

Kill~~~

Two gold wheels rapidly spun out, chitchitchit… Limbs were flying through the air, and in an instant, seven or eight zerglings had been ripped apart. As the wheels returned back to the mech, the Golden Wheel Battle King proceeded forwards, and at almost the same instant, the two golden wheels once again launched forward and started killing. Wang Zheng still did not retreat, but continued to push forward into the mass of bugs for the kills.

This was the only choice. He would be surrounded, and according to the characteristics of the bugs, each group had a leader. Under normal circumstances, they would not make contact with each other, hence the area of movement for him would be comparatively smaller. If he was to be surrounded right in the center, that would then truly be the end of him.

Another instant, and a group of bugs were sent flying to the side.

Bole was still ridiculing him at first, but had rapidly sobered up and even stood up unknowingly, “Why, why does his Golden Wheel Battle King not lean backwards?”

As a result of Bole’s words, the attention of all the generals were on the Golden Wheel Battle King on the battlefield, which had seamless coordination. Everyone present knew that the Golden Wheel Battle King was developed as an invincible killing mech. However, after attaching its lethal wheel weapons, due to the design of said weapons, it only allowed the mech to move at a certain angle while attacking. This downside had caused it to only be able to display ten percent of its combat potential as the mech had limited flexibility, which was absolutely crippling.

However, this Golden Wheel Battle King on the battlefield was unaffected by the tilt, and even when receiving and launching the wheels again for another round of attacks, it was completely seamless. Not only did it counteract the rotational force, its rotation seemed to have even been improved, increasing killing efficiency!

This was something that was only discussed in theory. More accurately, it was impossible even in theory.

In an instant, more than a hundred bugs had died under the wheels of the Golden Wheel Battle King.

Skeleton had often said “do not be intimidated by the appearance and number of enemies, as the numbers you are facing can only be this much.”

But theory was theory, and reality was always different, especially in the face of the Zerg, who were not afraid of death.

The first wave of crisis came, and a formation of hundreds of bugs had surrounded him. There was no solution; once he was entangled by them, he would be dead.

However, the Golden Wheel Battle King still did not retreat, but continued moving forward. The closer the distance, the faster the speed of the golden wheels. This increased its killing power, and the killing speed had become even more ferocious.
