The Undying Mecha Emperor

Chapter 281 Escaping

But my big bro did not become the Mecha God of the Chinese Federation by being a coward and by being a dumbass with no backup plan.

In fact, in terms of skill and experience, my big bro probably still had an edge over Boris Sinblood that day.

One of the top mecha pilots of the Federation was no slouch, afterall.

My big bro coolly shifted his position and got out of Boris Sinblood's trajectory, completely confident in his wife's ability to keep him hidden from any and all forms of detection, even from one such as the golden mecha.

As he expected, Boris Sinblood did not adjust his wild charge and he smashed across the position which my big bro was in mere milliseconds ago.

He failed to detect my big bro's movement!

Calmly but quickly, my big bro made his way towards one of the downed American golden mecha.

"I need some sort of diversion." He said to us.

"Leave it to me." I said and sent out a small stream of particles away to about three kilometers away.

Deftly, I changed it into a full sized blue mecha carrying the signature of Princess Diana's golden mecha before sending it zooming away at top speed towards the open ocean.

Instantly, Boris Sinblood shot out towards the blue mecha and quickly got within a couple hundred meters of it within a few short seconds.

Poof!

I crushed the blue mecha into particles once more and collected them, just as my big bro's voice came through the comms.

"Let's go." He said.

"Where to? I don't think we should enter the secret passage from anywhere near that damned European mecha." I replied.

"North to the Arctic. The further away we get from the Federation at this point, the better." My big bro answered.

"No. I say we go towards the USAA. Cut all trails leading back towards the Federation. We will never know if there are other methods that the Europeans have in tracking us. Once we get to the USAA, we can figure out of a way to send Justin back to the Federation while we smuggle the Princess away." My sister in law said wisely.

"Uh. I don't mind." I said excitedly. Of course I didn't mind. We were going to the United States of All Americas! It would be epic!

We started to swiftly make our way back towards the East, deep into the Pacific Ocean once more.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be back there in such a damn short amount of time!!

I did not quite say "I am NEVER going back to the Pacific Ocean" after my exhilarating adventures there.

But damn.

One freaking day?

What the hell was going on?

We moved swiftly and quietly as we drew a straight line on the world map all the way towards the west coast of America many thousands of kilometers away.

As we did so, my big bro dropped several secret substances that would dissolve itself into absolutely nothing as soon as it detected a mecha within a kilometer radius.

It was a one-use sensor that was ridiculously perfect for us.

One such sensor dissolving could be attributed to a random mecha passing by.

But if ten such sensors separated by hundreds of meters along our path travel started to dissolve one by one, it was a sure sign of one thing and one thing only.

We were being followed.

And as my sister in law had predicted, it was exactly what happened within an hour of our departure.

"We are being followed. At exactly two hundred kilometers behind us." My big bro announced grimly. "It is a good thing we are traveling away from the Federation and towards USAA."

"They do not have the technology to break through my void shield. The way the European mecha failed to detect Bruce is solid proof of that. So they must be detecting us another way." My sister in law said with a frown.

"Bio signals? Like the signals that we are using to detect those sensors I dropped?" My big bro asked.

"That's possible. They might have a biolock on the Princess. That might give them a very general location of wherever she is." My sister in law agreed. "But they are following our path almost perfectly. I do not think bio signals are that accurate, especially from behind my void shield."

"Yes, I think it's a biolock." I suddenly spoke up. "But it's not of the Princess. It's… of the Mecha Virus!"

"Oh my god. I think you're right. The golden mecha we have with us is chock full of the Mecha Virus. It makes perfect sense that they have a high level of detection capabilities of their weapon!" My sister in law gasped in surprise at my idea.

"Uh damn. We shouldn't have taken it then. My bad." I said ruefully.

"No, this isn't a problem. We need to dissect the mecha virus and determine an antivirus for it as soon as possible. And if the price of that determination is that we will have the Europeans chasing after us all the time, then it is completely worth it." My big bro said firmly. "Especially now that we are going to USAA. They can't touch us as soon as we get there…"

My bro's words trailed very ominously as we all caught his unspoken words.

We would be safe from the Europeans as soon as we get to the USAA.

BUT before we get there, we would NOT be safe from them!

And knowing that the Europeans knew that too, what they planned to do before we got to the Americans was a no brainer. Of course.

Mobilize everything and recapture the mecha virus. And if possible, all the thieves as well!

"They would be going all out to try and capture us very, very soon." I realized with a deep chill in my heart.

I had barely thought of those words before my big bro signaled for us to stop.

"Enemies ahead." He said grimly.

"Their signal lock on the virus is that strong?" My sister in law gasped. "The golden mecha is completely covered by my void shield! That should have dulled their sensors by a huge percentage. Eighty to ninety percent at the very least!"

"They are probably just predicting where we would be. We are not exactly traveling on an unpredictable path after all." My big bro said. "Let's change directions and keep changing."

Instantly, we changed our direction by fifteen degrees southwards.

But after awhile, my big bro steered us downwards once more by another twenty degrees.

"It seems that they have us surrounded. The enemies are all around us and closing in." My big bro said tersely.

"This is a big ocean. They can't possibly have us surrounded from everywhere. They don't have enough manpower for that!" I frowned and cast out my resonance to "see" for myself.

"They are drones, not manned mechas. They must have deployed a million of them to surround us this way." My big bro said softly.

He was right. There were truly a huge number of them. In fact, a million was a conservative number. There could easily be a couple million of them!

"A million drones? Impressive, but not impressive enough. I can easily break their strategy if its just an issue of unmanner numbers." I scoffed.

With a single thought, I quickly created a thousand blue mechas and sent them shooting in every direction!

"Each blue mecha should be able to crash and disable a hundred of those drones, all shooting in a different direction. This is our chance! Come. Let's follow this one while the rest wreaks havoc everywhere." I said and followed a random east-bound unmanned blue mecha.

Vroo! Vroo! Vroo!

My thousand mechas created a huge ruckus as they exploded every where at high speed and quickly crashed into the drones!

With so many collisions every where, we had effectively escaped from the Europeans' attempt to surround and lock on to our position!

"Let's go. Maximum speed!" I shouted.

For once, my big bro and my sister in law remained silent and did as I said.

I withdrew my blue mechas and started to accelerate rapidly.

We quickly increased our speed to just under mach 1 and quickly distanced ourselves from our pursuers.

And we learnt from our lesson, and we took a far more roundabout route towards America.

However, despite our best efforts, my big bro's sensors did not stop dissolving.

The Europeans were still on our tail!

I think we need to split up. Justin. Go and make your way south towards Brazil while we go north towards Alaska. Drop these sensor balls every kilometer or so. If the Europeans split up and follow you as well, we'll regroup in a hundred kilometers. If not, make a u-turn and go home." My big bro instructed.

"No." I rejected him without a thought.

Go home and miss out on this adventure? Hell no!
