Chapter 203: 5
Lang Sen stood up like an awe-inspiring giant, scaring the defenseless crowd into taking a step back. But soon, his huge and seemingly cumbersome body leapt up and out of the open door at an extremely fast speed, leaving everyone's line of sight.
Smith's men were shocked. "Gu Ling is an S-class psychic! Everyone, listen to my orders. Get on the starship and mech and chase after him. Hmph, an F-class cripple still wants to pilot a mech. Hurry up, don't let him get himself killed. "
His subordinates agreed and chased after Gou Liang.
Lang Sen's speed was very fast, but a few simple mecha combat moves had already exhausted Gou Liang's stamina. As he kept a close eye on the enemy, he groped around in his medicine box and took out a syringe, stabbing it into his arm without hesitation.
Luo Sen watched as Gou Liang's pale complexion returned to normal, but his heart did not relax in the slightest. He did not know which physique enhancing agent the Star Alliance had that could allow an F-class physical technique user to possess the physique to pilot an S-class mecha in such a short period of time. No matter where this drug came from, it was undoubtedly very harmful to Gou Liang's body, and the pain it caused was also unbearable.
He stared at Gou Liang and did not try to stop him, but his frown deepened.
Gou Liang rushed in the direction of the reinforcements, but Smith was from a family that dared to assassinate the Crown Prince. Knowing that the Army had sent troops to protect Gou Liang, he still tried to capture him. Of course, he had made ample preparations.
Before Gou Liang could meet up with the reinforcements, he was intercepted.
The reinforcements were all A-class mechs, and an S-class mech was no different from a child's toy in the hands of a skilled Gou Liang. He was no match for them. Furthermore, they were still on the planet. With the mecha factory's first standard of protection for human life, most of the mecha's lethal weapons could not be used during non-war times or in non-space conditions, so Gou Liang had lost the advantage of using the mecha's capabilities to win with a single strike.
He operated his mech to dodge, but after a while, several suction hooks attached themselves to Lang Sen's body, and several mechs pulled him towards the starship.
"Sir, the military's reinforcements are about to break through the siege."
"Speed up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another three mecha grabbed onto Lang Sen's frame with their claw hooks and dragged him along. Lang Sen's body slid involuntarily towards the starship's receiving bay.
Gou Liang's eyes darkened. His usually gentle face revealed a hint of murderous intent. 'Don't you know that daddy is wearing a fatherly halo?' What a reckless fool.
Rosen, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, straightened his back. When he saw Gou Liang activating the Wolf Forest's combat system, his expression changed completely. However, the simple operation of escaping had already made Gou Liang, who had been injected with the enhancer twice, pale, let alone fighting!
"Professor Gu, retreat in order to advance! Reinforcements from the military will arrive soon. Even if we board the starship now, we can still wait for an opportunity to act. Please calm down. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices … "
He advised loudly, but Gou Liang could not hear a single word.
Rosen racked his brains. When he saw that Gu Jun had activated the combat system, he shouted loudly, "Daddy!"
Gou Liang's body trembled violently. He abruptly turned his head around.
Rosen was overjoyed. He was about to advise him again when he saw the weak Gou Liang injecting himself with three energy enhancers. Then, he knocked his forehead against the visual window he was lying on and smiled at him.
He said, "Baby, don't be afraid. Daddy will bring you home now."
Then, he turned around. His gaze was colder than ever.
"Combat system activated. Please select the operation mode."
Gou Liang did not choose the manual operation mode that would conserve his stamina. Instead, he insisted on operating with his mind. Soon, Lang Sen raised his head and roared. His strength was pushed to the maximum. His mecha's arms grabbed the nine mechas that were stuck to him and pulled them up into the air. Then, he leaped up and kicked the mecha's energy chamber with extreme speed and accuracy, dealing a fatal blow to the mecha. After he broke free from control, he did not run away anymore. Instead, he charged towards the starship's cockpit and smashed the starship's windshield with one punch.
Smith's leaders were all in the cockpit. They were injured by the sharp glass shards and screamed.
"What's going on? Isn't his physical skills crippled? How can he pilot an S-class —"
"Stop talking nonsense. Get into your mecha! Shoot him down! "
The panicked crowd finally calmed down. When Lang Sen's cockpit smashed the control panel, causing the alarms to scream and the starship to crash, they released their mecha and rushed out.
The explosion of Xing Chuang's crash did not shake the criminals in the slightest. They heavily surrounded Lang Sen. After a moment of probing, Smith said, "Team A, move out. Focus your firepower on his legs. Don't kill him."
As soon as he finished speaking, five mecha stepped out. Beam cannons were formed — they were actually using lethal weapons on the main planet!
Gou Liang sneered. "You're asking for it."
He gave up on the mind control mode and quickly entered a series of commands on Lang Sen's manual control panel that had been neglected for many years. Three seconds later, five beams were fired at Lang Sen's mechanical legs at the same time.
However, the beam cannons seemed to have hit a hole. They disappeared without causing any damage to Lang Sen!
"How is this possible?"
"Is this an S-class defense? An A-class mecha didn't even leave a scratch on it?! "
"Attack again! No matter how high an S-class defense is, there's a limit to its energy consumption! Blow up his legs! And his hands! Don't touch the energy chamber and the cockpit. Blow up everything else! "
"Yes, sir!"
Before they could cause any damage to Lang Sen's mecha, they received news that the military had broken through the encirclement and was coming for them.
"There's no time." Smith's face was gloomy. He looked at the unmoving Lang Sen and hardened his heart. "Blow up the energy chamber! Spare Professor Gu's life. "
As long as the person who created the S-class mecha was alive, there was no need to worry about not having another one!
His courage was commendable, but unfortunately, the Cosmos God had long since abandoned them.
Just as the five illegal mecha fired their lethal weapons again, countless cannons suddenly appeared on Lang Sen's mecha. The condensed light was so dazzling that it caused everyone in the cockpit to tremble.
These were beam cannons.
These were the firepower of the cannons they had used to attack Lang Sen!
"Retreat!"
Smith screamed. But before his voice could be transmitted to the ears of the others through the internal transmission of the mecha, a monotonous and violent sound covered his voice.
Hong.
The reinforcements who had hurried over could only see a dome of light exploding in the distance. Powerful shockwaves spread out in all directions with the light as the center. Dozens of mechas were violently shaken out of their fire rings. Following that, the explosions of the mecha's energy chambers resounded through the sky. The gigantic mecha that had lost their support fell to the ground one after another, turning into scrap metal.
"That's … Lang Sen?"
After the light dissipated, the only mecha standing in the air was revealed.
It was completely black, and its eyes were filled with disdain and coldness. He leisurely landed on the ground, as calm as he always was after every victory.
However, the situation in the cockpit was completely different.
Rosen had yet to recover from the man's oppressive combat awareness, his calm combat skills, and his courage when he saw the calm Gou Liang suddenly bend over. Blood gushed out from his mouth and sprayed onto Lang Sen's manual control panel, turning it bright red.
Rosen's mind suddenly buzzed.
"Xiao Kener!"
In that instant, he also felt a sharp pain in his body. His vision went blank for a moment, but he quickly regained consciousness.
He did not realize that his body was growing rapidly under the intense stimulation. From a nine-month-old baby, he had rapidly grown into the size of a five- or six-year-old child. He did not care about himself at all. He fiercely pounded on the escape suit and shouted, "Professor Gu, what's wrong? Let me out! "
Gou Liang's escape suit was made of some unknown material. It was unbreakable. Even Rosen's S-class physical skills could not leave a single mark on it.
Gou Liang was like a dying warrior. His unyielding body collapsed under the sound of the horn of victory.
He lay on the control panel, motionless. It was unknown whether he had fainted or gone into shock.
"Dad, dad, can you hear me?"
Rosen shouted. As expected, Gou Liang's body twitched. Clearly, he was still conscious, reacting to this name. Rosen was delighted. He shouted, "Dad, I'm Nineteen! Let me out, dad — "
"Nineteen … Little Nineteen …"
Gou Liang forced himself to stand up from the control panel. Blood dyed his lips red. It was even more eye-catching against his pale face. His eyes were unfocused. His expression was pained, but more than that, there was anxiety and confusion.
Rosen's heart suddenly clenched. At that moment, an unfamiliar emotion made his heart curl up. It was so painful that his eyes burned.
He suppressed the anger and heartache in his blood and continued to shout, "Dad, it's me. Let me out, I … I'm scared, dad …"
Gou Liang heard that he was scared. His already gray eyes suddenly lit up. He rushed toward him and said, "Don't be scared, Nineteen, don't be scared. Dad is here."
His vision was already very blurry. He did not even notice the change in Rosen's appearance.
He wanted to smile at the child, but when he opened his mouth, a hot and fishy liquid gushed out from his throat. He choked and coughed, spitting out red and black blood.
"Xiao Kener …"
"Dad …"
Rosen's consciousness was a little blurry. He shouted randomly. Gou Liang followed his voice and found him. He pressed his palm on the button of the escape pod and released the child inside.
He held the wet child in his arms and heard him call out "Dad" in a panic. He wanted to smile, but he only murmured "Nineteen, don't be afraid" and fainted in the driver's seat.
"Xiao Kener!"
Rosen, who was pressed under him, touched Gou Liang's face in horror. The sticky and warm liquid made his eyes suddenly dark. When he felt Gou Liang's weak breath, he forced himself to calm down.
"Lang Sen, activate the emergency rescue."
However, his most familiar partner did not give him any response. Rosen then remembered that Lang Sen did not have a two-person linkage function.
At this moment, he heard a nervous request to connect with Lang Sen.
Rosen used all his strength to prop Gou Liang up. He struggled to pull out the oxygen and nutrition tube from the escape suit and stuffed it into Gou Liang's mouth. Then, he manually pressed the button to connect with Lang Sen.
"Professor Gu, is that you? Are you okay — "
Rosen interrupted him, "Colonel Bernie, have the medics arrived?"
Bernie was extremely familiar with Rosen's tone. He replied reflexively, "Your Royal Highness, the rescue medical team was attacked. They are expected to arrive in fifteen minutes."
Rosen, "Inform the Royal Hospital to prepare for treatment. Professor Gu's condition is very bad. Also, you stay here and take care of the follow-up. In three hours, I want to know who did it. "
As he spoke, he reestablished the mental connection with Lang Sen.
Lang Sen, "Welcome back, my master."
Bernie: "Yes, Your Highness, I'll go right away! Is that you?! "
Bernie's personal guard, who was slow to react, finally reacted. The person who was talking to him just now was actually His Highness Rosen, whom they couldn't find no matter how hard they tried!
He was overjoyed, but before he could ask for more details, Lang Sen had already rushed in the direction of the Royal Hospital and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
*
Three hours later.
Gou Liang was still in the operating room being resuscitated. At this time, the king and queen of the Star-link, as well as the head of the military, had already arrived at the Royal Hospital after being notified by Rosen.
When the king and queen saw that Rosen had suddenly turned into a five-year-old child, they were shocked. Of course, they recognized their son, even if he was a baby. However, they did not expect that Rosen's growth would regress due to an unexpected situation. After being rescued by Gou Liang, he became Gou Liang's adopted son.
The queen was worried about him and wanted to take him for a physical examination. Rosen looked at the "In Surgery" light that was still on and did not agree.
He had confidence in his physical condition. Although he had become smaller, his aptitude and constitution had not weakened. He was confident that he would be able to recover soon.
An hour after Gou Liang's operation, the doctor informed Rosen that his adopted father's vital signs had stabilized. His clever mind was working at high speed.
Although he did not remember what he looked like when he was a baby, he still had an impression of what he looked like when he was five or six years old. Therefore, the changes in his body were enough for him to confirm that he was Rosen Douglas Dunn, and not an external consciousness that had invaded his adopted son's body and occupied Gu Nineteen's body as Gou Liang had said.
After experiencing this life and death struggle, he was well aware of Gou Liang's feelings for his adopted son. He wasn't confident that after waking up, he would be able to bear the blow of knowing that his adopted son had always been His Highness Rosen.
But in the current situation, it was not the best time to think about this problem.
There were more things waiting for him to deal with.
"Father, mother, there is nothing wrong with my body. General Marshall, immediately withdraw the people sent out to search and rescue. Also, stop the search for Haris and order people to clean up the mess. Don't let anyone disturb Mr. Haris … "He arranged everything in an orderly manner. When he saw Colonel Bernie hurriedly reply, he asked," Did you find anything? "
Bernie said with shame, "Your Highness, your subordinate did not do a good job."
"The mechs used by these people were all scrapped mechs registered by the military and have been recycled long ago. The military insignia and military orders used by the other five mechs that violated the rules and activated their combat state were used by the team that had been sent to Planet R two days ago to carry out the law and order. They had sent back a distress signal last night, saying that they had been attacked by pirates. Their whereabouts were unknown. We have also interrogated the criminals one by one. Most of them are interstellar mercenaries and do not know who their employer is. We have not been able to get any useful clues from them for the time being. "
Rosen had been prepared for this result. After all, the enemy dared to make such a big move on a person under the military's protection on the main planet. Not to mention, they had so many people with them. It would not be easy to find anything that could be used against them.
Seeing Rosen's thoughtful expression, Bernie, who had followed Rosen for many years, did not neglect him even though he had suddenly become a child. He still reported respectfully, "Your Highness, the enemy's target seems to be Professor Gu, not you. Your subordinate has investigated and found that the news of your accident is still being kept under wraps. There are no traces of a leak so far. So … "
Rosen shook his head. "They are not after me."
His tone was calm as he calmly responded to the entire battle. He continued, "Their target is the Wolf Forest. To be more precise, they are after the S-class mechs. Go to Rudolph Military Academy and check if anyone leaked information about the maintenance of the Wolf Forest. Also, there is at least one person among those people who is clearly aware of their target and who is commanding the mercenaries. There is no way they do not know about their employer. Increase your investigation of these people and use whatever means necessary to make them reveal the mastermind as soon as possible. Do you understand? "
Bernie nodded solemnly. "Your subordinate understands."
He accepted the order and left.
"Luo Sen, since there's already some progress, you won't be able to help much here. Why don't you return to the palace with Mother? I will arrange for people to take care of Professor Gu … "
Rosen shook his head and rejected her suggestion. "My current condition is not suitable for me to appear in public. Father, Mother, please go back. I am fine. General Marshall, please maintain the security here. Do not allow any dangerous people to sneak in. "
The queen wanted to say something else, but the king stopped her. He leaned over and said to his son, who had become a child again but did not feel the need to be taken care of. "Your mother and I are indeed not suitable to stay here for long. However, you must undergo a physical examination. Otherwise, we will not be able to rest assured."
Rosen agreed. The results of the examination were as he had expected. The king left with his wife, who was still worried about him. General Marshall quickly arranged for his men to leave as well. Rosen sat quietly in the corridor, keeping watch.
With Star-link's current medical standards, there was almost no surgery that took more than four hours. This also meant that Gou Liang had suffered a great deal of damage.
He unconsciously clenched his fists until the light went off and the doctor wheeled Gou Liang out.
His life was no longer in danger, but he was still in a coma. It would take a long time for him to recover.
Even the doctor was not sure how long it would take.
Rosen looked at Gou Liang's pale face. His eyes darkened and he sighed softly in his heart. I don't know what he will do when he wakes up and realizes that he is no longer his baby.
He will probably … cry.
Thinking of this possibility, the fearless crown prince suddenly felt a little scared.
