Although the EMP from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces destroyed Xu Zhengyang's Combat Suit, similarly, all electronic devices within the Japanese Self-Defense Forces base were also damaged, including those signal jamming devices! Xu Zhengyang's AMP combat mecha, however, was just in the Dimensional Space Pocket and was not affected by the EMP.
As soon as Xu Zhengyang jumped into the mecha, he immediately reestablished contact with Da Bai!
"Master, let me pilot the mecha. You hurry and change into that flying Combat Suit in the cockpit!" Da Bai said.
On the display screen of the AMP single-soldier mecha, an evacuation route was listed. "As long as we pilot the AMP single-soldier mecha to the rooftop of this building, you can activate the winged form of the flying Combat Suit the moment the mecha jumps off the building and fly out of the encirclement!"
According to the route marked by Da Bai, with the speed of the AMP single-soldier mecha, Xu Zhengyang would reach the target building in no more than five minutes!
But now, every second counted.
So Xu Zhengyang immediately activated the Overclocking skill of the AMP single-soldier mecha, squeezing out all its performance and charging towards the destination!
"Da da da da da..."
Although the soldiers of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces opened fire as soon as they saw the AMP single-soldier mecha, their firearms could not penetrate the mecha's defensive armor at all! Thus, Watanabe Nitsu could only watch helplessly as Xu Zhengyang piloted the AMP single-soldier mecha, charging through the hail of gunfire and disappearing from sight!
"Chase!"
As Xu Zhengyang burst out of the courtyard, Watanabe Nitsu immediately ordered, "Chase!"
...
The AMP single-soldier mecha had no wheels, so even in Overclocking mode, its maximum speed was only about 100 kilometers per hour.
That said, the AMP single-soldier mecha possessed a level of agility that vehicles could hardly match! Xu Zhengyang could easily leap onto residential buildings and then sprint straight across the rooftops! In just two minutes of reckless sprinting, he had already reached the base of the building marked by Da Bai! Standing at 4.2 meters tall, the AMP single-soldier mecha could not take the elevator up.
As a result, many Japanese citizens saw a mecha climbing the exterior of a building like King Kong in a movie, directly scaling the building's outer wall to reach the rooftop! When Watanabe Nitsu caught up from behind and saw this scene, he nearly ground his back teeth to dust.
This unidentified enemy was causing such a commotion.
Even though he had done his utmost within his capabilities, he could not escape blame! Thus, Watanabe Nitsu immediately pulled out a communication device protected by a metal shell, dialed an emergency number, and urgently said, "This is Watanabe Nitsu from the headquarters!
An enemy mecha has appeared in the Kyoto city area, currently racing towards the city center and has entered the citizens' line of sight.
The situation is extremely urgent; requesting air force support! Over!"
"..."
There was a moment of silence on the radio before responding, "General Watanabe, this is the headquarters. Are you... sure it's a mecha? Over."
Hearing this, Watanabe Nitsu's forehead bulged with veins, and he immediately shouted into the communicator, "If it's false, I will naturally face military tribunal for reporting false military information! But right now, please dispatch air force support immediately! Over!!"
Upon hearing Watanabe Nitsu's roar, the headquarters finally realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly replied, "Received, air force support is on the way, over!"
...
While Watanabe Nitsu was on the call with the headquarters, Xu Zhengyang had already piloted the AMP single-soldier mecha to the rooftop of the building under the watchful eyes of the citizens of Kyoto.
At this moment, Watanabe Nitsu's heart was in his throat, and he couldn't help but say, "What is that bastard doing on the rooftop? Is he planning to blow up the building?"
At this point, Watanabe Nitsu immediately ordered his soldiers, "Where's the drone squad?!
Launch all the self-destruct drones without leaving a single one behind, at all costs, stop him!!"
As soon as Watanabe Nitsu finished speaking, a uniquely shaped vehicle behind him suddenly opened its top cover, revealing over forty dark launch tubes on two levels! "Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
...
In the next moment, more than forty drones were launched from the launch tubes, racing towards the rooftop at a speed of 260 kilometers per hour!
The AMP single-soldier mecha could withstand normal caliber bullets, but it absolutely could not withstand the bombardment of these self-destruct drones! Fortunately, Xu Zhengyang was not fighting alone; he had Da Bai! For Da Bai, taking control of these self-destruct drones, which required wireless signals for precise control, was no more difficult than calculating 1+1=2! So as soon as these self-destruct drones were launched, Da Bai detonated them in mid-air!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
As the self-destruct drones were detonated one after another, the sky lit up with small fireballs like fireworks!
"What?!"
Watanabe Nitsu was dumbfounded at the sight. What was happening?!
During the joint exercises, Watanabe Nitsu had personally witnessed the power of these drones!
He had marveled at how brutal future warfare would be after seeing the capabilities of various drones.
But he never expected that the drone array he was so proud of would be so easily compromised.
Fortunately, they were only detonated in the air; if the drones had been controlled to fly into the crowd of onlookers and exploded...
Just thinking about this made Watanabe Nitsu break out in a cold sweat!
Meanwhile, on the rooftop.
After Da Bai dealt with all the self-destruct drones, he suddenly said urgently to Xu Zhengyang, "Master, hurry and jump after changing your clothes! An F-22 fighter jet is flying towards our direction!"
The maximum flight speed of the American F-22 aircraft is 2.25 Mach, equivalent to 2415 kilometers per hour!
Averaged out, that means it flies forty kilometers per minute!
Kyoto, Japan, not only has a Self-Defense Forces base but also an American air force military base.
In a state of high alert, the base must ensure that aircraft can take off at any moment!
Because of this, just thirty to forty seconds after Watanabe Nitsu reported, Xu Zhengyang could faintly hear the sound of a fighter jet producing sonic booms as it flew at high speed! "A fighter jet?!" Xu Zhengyang exclaimed in shock.
He never thought he would be chased by a fighter jet one day!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhengyang felt a mix of fear and uncontrollable excitement! But he knew that while his AMP single-soldier mecha far exceeded current technological levels, it was still just a civilian product.
No matter how advanced the technology, it could not compete with these modern, heavily armed war machines! So Xu Zhengyang did not dare to waste a second.
After activating the optical camouflage and winged form of the flying Combat Suit, he immediately manipulated the AMP single-soldier combat mecha to jump high!
"Jumped?!"
Watanabe Nitsu, who had been observing from below, was momentarily stunned upon seeing this.
Then he suddenly made an irresponsible guess, saying, "It can't be transforming into a plane in mid-air, can it?"
As soon as Watanabe Nitsu finished speaking, the massive mecha suddenly vanished into thin air in the sky! "Another optical camouflage?!"
Watanabe Nitsu immediately realized and shouted to those behind him, "EMP, fire!"
"Report!"
The soldier operating the EMP immediately replied, "Our EMP weapon is a prototype; after using it just now, the core components have burned out by 20%, and it cannot be activated again!"
"Bastard..."
Watanabe Nitsu cursed fiercely upon hearing this, then immediately said, "A mecha of such a large size and powerful propulsion must generate a significant amount of heat! Have everyone turn on thermal imaging and search the entire city immediately!"
After saying this, Watanabe Nitsu took out the communication device encased in a metal box again, saying, "Headquarters, this is Watanabe Nitsu.
The target enemy has disappeared from sight due to optical camouflage; requesting troops equipped with thermal imaging devices to conduct a synchronized search, over!"
