A picture seen by different individuals holds completely different meanings. In the rear area of a mountain valley, a large tree stands like a dull M52, resembling a resting tiger. Despite its quiet appearance, it possesses the thickest armor and fiercest firepower among all individual machine armors in the federal military. The soldiers playfully refer to its two alloy mechanical legs as "frog legs." Colonel Lake sits in the operating cabin atop the frog legs, attentively observing the front.
The members of the special machine armor group from the fourth military region, dispersed around the mountain valley, use 1.4 kilometers as a benchmark distance. Colonel Lake, their leader, has confidence in maintaining perfect coordination among his team members in the B4 assault formation. They are like extensions of his own fingers, swiftly and accurately responding to his commands.
The medium-range armament system is ready to engage in pursuit. They have pinpointed the exact position of their target and swiftly organized themselves into a chase formation, completely sealing off the small mountain valley. However, Colonel Lake hesitates to order a barrage of firepower. Although the M52 armor is capable of obliterating any carbon-based lifeform within its attack range, Colonel Lake refrains from taking unnecessary risks until he sees the target.
Gao Min peeks inside the valley, and Colonel Lake spots a tired machine repair master with wounds on his face and thigh. This sighting eases his concerns, as an unarmed former soldier poses less of a threat.
For some reason, Colonel Lake hesitates to initiate the attack order. He can't shake off a strange feeling. If he were to launch the attack, the target might manage to escape from this distance, though logically it seems improbable. The frustrated machine repair master from more than ten years ago, who somehow defied all logic and escaped the pursuit of the Ministry of Defense's violent anger, still lingers in Colonel Lake's memory.
Inside the machine armor's cabin, Colonel Lake observes the scene in the valley on a small light screen. The hoary-haired machine repair master on the screen appears unaware, casually lighting a cigarette. Colonel Lake wonders why he seems so anxious to smoke. Did he catch a glimpse of him? The sunglasses perched on Colonel Lake's nose tremble as he gazes into the cold eyes staring back at him on the screen. Is the machine repair master truly looking at him?
From such a great distance, has the other party detected his presence? Despite Colonel Lake's confidence in his stealth capabilities, he can't help but feel a chill in his heart when facing the machine armor. Perhaps he is too overconfident.
Especially when he notices the machine repair master trembling with intense fear, a wave of anxiety engulfs Colonel Lake. He no longer wishes to wait and immediately orders the ten team members to launch a long-distance attack!
However... before the long-distance attack order can even transform into an electrical signal, the machine repair master, Feng Yu, makes his move!
The world is shocked.
With a stone weighing half a ton in his hands, the machine repair master hurls it like a howling shell, accurately targeting the hiding M52 armored artillery in the 11 o'clock direction!
The M52 operating the extravehicular heavy armor is mercilessly struck by the rock, sending stone fragments flying in all directions. Although the armor does not sustain significant damage, the powerful impact shakes the machine armor team members connected to the operating cabin's induction chairs, causing them to cough up blood. For a brief moment, they are unable to respond.
To everyone's surprise, the unarmed machine repair master then throws a grenade! Such astonishing strength! Is this machine repair master even human? Colonel Lake's lips feel a bitter taste as he witnesses the tremendous strength displayed by the machine repair master. His gaze follows the shadowy figure of the machine repair master as he swiftly glides through the grass and rushes toward a large tree!
"Seventh child!" Colonel Lake sternly berates through the aircraft intercom, wanting to warn the team members hiding behind the tree. But alas, it is too late. Helplessly, he watches as the machine repair master's fist strikes the hydraulic pipe behind M52's knee with precise timing.
Colonel Lake knows that the joint area behind the knee is a relatively weak spot in the M52's defense. However, he never anticipated that an unarmed person could shatter the hydraulic pipe, made of alloy steel, with just a single punch! The machine repair master's display of strength leaves Colonel Lake astonished and bitter.
His gaze follows the machine repair master's movements, who has now transformed into a shadowy figure. He slides along the grass in the valley, rushing toward a large tree.
In that instant, Colonel Lake's heart sinks, and he firmly presses a button with a heavy heart. The system's knowledge of the enemy and their own forces no longer matters. The relentless onslaught begins, with countless firepower converging on the machine armor that had shattered its hydraulic pipe!
For Colonel Lake, it is clear that the machine repair master, with his ghostly presence, has climbed onto the disabled machine armor's abdomen. By some unknown method, he easily removes the safety mask and prepares to open the operating cabin!
