Death Notice

“Shoot, kill him!” Karu pointed at Qin Lun at the warehouse entrance and shouted wildly.

“Rat-a-tat-tat!” Gunfire erupted throughout the warehouse. Two mechas that had been ready for action raised their autocannons. Two torrent-like streams of fire crossed and extended toward Qin Lun.

These mechas were not the exoskeleton engineering suits that Tang and Meimei had once piloted. They were real combat mechas. The Vulcan cannons they carried were Gauss-type weapons, and were among the few individual weapons that could threaten an Apostle.

“Swift Wind Step… Bone Shield…” Joey, who had taken control of the body, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips with bloodlust. His figure suddenly vanished from where he stood. The Swift Wind Step enhanced with Light Body Technique made him seem weightless as he rushed toward the two mechas along the wall. Three bone shields slowly revolved around his body.

The streams of fire from the Vulcan cannons traced an arc, chasing after Joey. The bullets, like a steel tide, left a trench-like dent on the warehouse’s armored plates, which were two meters thick.

“Ah… Ah…” The stray bullets, after ricocheting off the steel walls, mowed down a group of nearby Atlanteans. The crowd inside the warehouse panicked and scrambled to escape. For a moment, this actually reduced the intensity of the attacks on Joey. Even the pilots of the two mechas paused slightly, causing the streams of fire from their Vulcan cannons to hesitate for an instant.

“Good chance!” Joey, who had stepped onto the warehouse ceiling via the wall, had a sharp glint erupt in his eyes.

Although he hadn’t been directly hit by the main stream of Vulcan cannon fire, the stray bullets from these Gauss autocannons were still quite powerful. Two of the three Bone Shields around his body had already vanished.

But now, he had reached a position directly above the two mechas. He spread his arms and let his body fall freely. He flipped in mid-air and landed squarely riding on the shoulder of one mecha.
