Corporal Kate already took Andrew's subordinates with her to safety as they escaped to the nearby lake, while her own subordinates already left a while ago.
With the police vehicles set ablaze, and the mechs scared away, the smugglers for the first time had a straight route through this highway.
They did not hesitate.
With the Hero Mech leading the way, the last 2 vehicles of the smugglers hit the gas as they accelerated swiftly through the highway.
They were escaping.
While this happened though, 2 enemies remained in a standoff.
Corporal Andrew vs the criminal mech pilot.
Rifleman Mech vs Heavy Mech.
At this moment, Andrew already surpassed his limits completely even as his neural interfacing readings flew through the roof.
At this moment, he no longer felt like he was interfacing with a giant metal machine, rather he felt like he was interfacing with his own body.
