Chapter 542: An Impasse?

"I thought you had an ace up your sleeve…Alas!" said Han Yuan while shaking his head in disappointment.

Han Yuan jumped back on his battle tank, which then retreated and hid behind the other tanks. He clearly knew that Jiang Liushi's magical weapon for defeating enemies was the minibus. Han Yuan believed that he had seen all of the minibus' abilities and that they were not enough to pose a threat to his life.

After calming down, Han Yuan ordered a tank fleet to start attacking the minibus. Undoubtedly, tanks could be regarded as the land's kings. Although the soldiers were unwilling to fight against Jiang Liushi, they could not disobey Han Yuan's order.

'Captain Jiang retreat!' thought the tank fleet's Commander.

The Commander was a powerful 30-year-old man, riding a Command Tank, and he oversaw three tank platoons. In each platoon, a Type 99 Tank was in the lead. They were enough to form an indestructible steel-like defense line. All the turrets on those tanks were aimed at the direction of Jiang Liushi's minibus. When all the tanks had attacked, even the Black Hole had been blown to pieces. How about the minibus?

If Han Yuan was not worried about the core inside the minibus, he would already have ordered to bombard it with the cannons.

Unexpectedly, the minibus' speed got faster.

"Accelerate! Collision!" ordered Jiang Liushi.

Initially, the distance between the two sides was not big, but to be shortened so fast was still shocking. Even the Commander stood agape. Once the minibus collided with them at such high speed, it would be akin to throwing an egg at a rock.

Wei Feifei covered her mouth and closed her eyes, while Wan Yiling let out a broad smile. She was under the impression that Jiang Liushi would use everything he had to keep his life but never expected he'd choose mutual destruction. Unfortunately for her, she was wrong yet again.

Suddenly, before the collision, Jiang Liushi's minibus changed in size, starting from its front to its back. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a massive shadow. Then, a humongous mining truck appeared in its stead!

Jiang Liushi was sitting inside, taking pleasure in the horrible expression on Han Yuan's face. 'You think you know everything about my MCV?'

The mining truck was the MCV's second form. It was a steel monster, weighing about 150 tons. The Type 99 tanks, which weighed about 50 tons each, were like toys before Jiang Liushi's steel monster. As if the mining truck was not shocking enough, it was still speeding up, causing the ground to shake. It was like experiencing a small-scale earthquake!

Even if the ones attacking wanted to counterattack, it was too late. The noise from the shaking ground and the visual impact of the humongous mining truck were enough to instill fear in the soldiers' hearts. Nobody was courageous enough to meet the mining truck head-on, so all the tanks' operators made evasive maneuvers at once.

This time, Han Yuan was utterly shocked. He could not fathom why or how the minibus had transformed into a mining truck. It was amazing but impossible!

No longer able to keep his calm, Han Yuan shouted desperately, "Fire! Quickly!"

Then, he pushed the tank operator to the side and sat in his seat. It was obvious that he was Jiang Liushi's only target, and it put great pressure on him.

Suddenly, a shell struck the mining truck's front, exploding. The mining truck shook violently. Through the thick smoke, Jiang Lushi looked forward and saw Lu Tianlong carrying a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher with which he shot the mining truck.

'Warning! The tires have received 30% damage and the shell 25%...'

Jiang Liushi ignored all of Starseed's notifications as the mining truck had come to a sudden stop and its front had hit a rockery. In the blink of an eye, that rockery was smashed into powder.

Upon seeing that scene, Wan Yiling took a deep breath. She felt relieved as in the beginning it seemed that nobody could stop the rampaging mining truck. If Lu Tianlong had not acted, they would have died.

Han Yuan's face was ugly. In order to block the mining truck, they had to use heavy weapons. He understood that in order to get the core, he had to kill Jiang Liushi first. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to get it.

As soon as Jiang Liushi's mining truck was stopped, dense gunshots followed.

'Warning! The shell has received 30% damaged...35%...the windshield…20%...'

The moment the mining truck stopped, it had basically become a stationary target for practice. When Wei Feifei saw that, her face turned pale.

"Game over!" said Han Yuan. Although Jiang Liushi's mining truck had a quite strong defense, it couldn't bear such a fierce attack.

Suddenly, an ear-splitting sound came from one of the mining truck's tires.

'Warning! The mining truck's second tire is damaged and can no longer be used.'

A tire had blown up! Although every part of the mining truck had been upgraded and reinforced, it could still receive damage.

"That's the end of the road for them!" said Wan Yiling with a broad smile.

Han Yuan saw Jiang Liushi through the damaged windshield, and then he gestured to indicate a ceasefire. The gunshots stopped, but his subordinates were still aiming at Jiang Liushi.

"Jiang Liushi, it isn't late for you to surrender. Hand over the core. Otherwise, I will kill you at once!" said Han Yuan calmly.

Han Yuan had become confident and complacent again as in his mind everything was under his control. He believed that Jiang Liushi had used everything he had.

The tank fleet's commander felt it was a pity and an unfair outcome for Jiang Liushi. Wei Feifei's body was trembling while staring at the heavily damaged mining truck.

'Captain Jiang, what will you do?' wondered Wei Feifei.

If she were in his shoes, Wei Feifei would have long surrendered. While wondering, she noticed to her surprise that Jiang Liushi, who had been sitting idle all this time, had a smile on his face.

"Oh, I think you're misunderstanding something. I'm the one who should be saying those words, not you! Said Jiang Liushi. "But it's too let for you to beg me, even if you kneel!" His voice was not loud, but everyone heard him.

Lu Tianlong could not help but sneer when he heard that. "Drop the act. It's useless and ridiculous. Your nonsense before death will only lead us to remember you as a crazy man. To think that someone like you saved…"

Wei Feifei felt as if someone was squeezing her heart. Jiang Liushi's refusal to surrender meant that everyone would attack him. Wei Feifei silently grabbed her heart, and the pain in her eyes was replaced by determination. Her strength was negligent but assisting the Shi Ying Squad was the only thing she could do. Hiang Liushi had saved her life twice now, so she would not turn her back to him now even if thousands of tanks were to bombard her.

At that moment, Jiang Liushi looked at Han Yuan calmly. "You think you've seen the limits of my abilities, right? Well, you're totally wrong! Your arrogance has clouded your judgment and imagination. A few days ago, you thought that I was not qualified to talk with you about conditions, but what makes you think that you're qualified to talk to me about conditions now? Needless to say, demanding my surrender and the core!"

Currently, Starseed's control panel was projected in front of Jiang Liushi. In the middle of the panel was the progress bar of the MCV's upgrade. The current progress was 99,99% before it reached 100%. The moment it was completed, Jiang Liushi suddenly stared at Han Yuan.

'The MCV's upgrade has been completed!'

'Model: MCV (Type II, upgraded version, Camouflage shape: Minibus [adjustable])

Weapons: Air Cannon, Flamethrower

Power System: upgraded.

Shell Strength: Level C...

Power...

…All damages have been fixed.'

Numerous information and data flashed rapidly on the control panel, and Jiang Liushi looked as if he was staring at Han Yuan, when in reality he was looking at the translucent control panel, waiting for the birth of his renewed MCV.

"Ying!" Jiang Liushi shouted.

Ying didn't answer but directly stepped on the throttle to the end!

At that moment, the MCV began to change from the shape of a mining truck to the minibus. The streamlined car body, and the metal shell of high-technology degree, as well as a perfect front, were shown in front of everyone. The dazzling collision ram had been completely integrated with the front of the minibus. The MCV had just started being formed, but the spectacle was enough to shock everyone.

Suddenly, it darted out with a deafening engine sound! Its speed was twice faster than before, and from the exhaust fume, a long tongue of fire was raging like crazy. Under such a short, the minibus was simply unstoppable! The air generated by its momentum could even push the tanks aside! As for bullets, they could not even pose a threat to it.

Lu Tianlong was about to fire a rocket launcher, but a figure had already rushed out from behind the MCV, rushing toward him like a silent cheetah. In the next moment, Ling appeared behind Lu Tianlong and slit his throat with her flashy dagger instantaneously!

Bai Jianyan was almost scared to death by that scene. The proud, powerful paranormal and one of Han Yuan's most trusted subordinates, had been just killed by a girl.

"Don't move!" Ling's gentle voice sounded next to Bau Jianyan's ear.

Bai Jianyan immediately complied and raised his hands silently. He didn't even know when she had got off the minibus. Shi Ying Squad's strength was simply unfathomable. None of its members could be underestimated.

As if the rampaging minibus was not enough, a powerful mental power instantly enveloped the soldiers in the tanks, stunning them. After they recovered, in less than a tenth of a second, they were shocked yet again as Jiang Liushi's minibus had hit the Han Yuan's battle tank!

The battle tank's bullet-proof steel plate had been torn like it was made of paper, while the whole vehicle was slamming against the ground repeatedly!

As that was happening, Jiang Liushi appeared on the gunner room with his sniper rifle. He looked coldly at the battle tank and aimed at the billowing smoke. Then, he pulled the trigger without any hint of hesitation. Shortly after, a figure rolled out of the smoke. He was Han Yuan!

Earlier, Han Yuan had grabbed Wan Yiling and jumped out of the battle tank, but Jiang Liushi had already seen and locked on him. Although Han Yuan had tried his best to dodge the incoming bullet, he was not that successful as blood was oozing out of his thigh. After all, the power a sniper bullet carried was horrible.

"Take another step, and you can say goodbye to your head!" Jiang Liushi's voice flowed like a cold breeze of wind in Han Yuan's ears.

Upon hearing that threat, Han Yuan's body turned stiff. Although he was not a military-raised official, it was still ridiculous for a general to cave in an ordinary survivor's threat.
