Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Mech Armor

They soon entered a tunnel in the mountain and arrived at an empty storeroom.

"This will do,"

Rein said to Long Ming.

Long Ming lifted his wristband and tapped it a few times.

SWISH!

Crates of compressed biscuits and 5,000 quick-heal injectors materialized, instantly filling nearly half the storeroom.

"It’s not much, but make do with it for now. If it’s not enough, come find me later,"

Long Ming said to Rein.

"Thank you, my friend. But I don’t have the money to pay you right now."

Rein looked at the supplies, his eyes growing a little moist. He spoke with some embarrassment.

He hadn’t expected Long Ming to get so many supplies, especially the 5,000 quick-heal injectors. In their world, those were strategic-grade military supplies and were extremely expensive.

Moreover, he had originally planned to trade his own suit of battle armor for them, which was why he had let Long Ming try it on, but Long Ming wasn’t interested at all.

Now he was in a difficult position.

"We’re brothers. Don’t mention it."

Long Ming smiled and patted Rein’s shoulder.

"Well... all right then."

"I’m heading to the front lines. See you later!"

"Okay. Be safe,"

Rein replied, his expression complicated.

"Yeah!"

Long Ming then turned and left.

Rein watched Long Ming’s departing figure. He started to call out to him but hesitated, ultimately saying nothing.

...

「Half an hour later.」

Long Ming appeared in the market area of the square, looking around for a suitable vehicle. After all, he couldn’t just walk to the front lines.

Just then, he spotted a dirt bike at the stall of a pockmarked man in the distance.

Long Ming thought the dirt bike looked very familiar. There were even two empty fuel cans strapped to the back.

He walked over, a little baffled.

"Hey, man. Where’d you get this dirt bike?"

"What do you mean, ’where’d I get it’? This is my beloved ride,"

Xu Kai said, lying through his teeth.

"Fine. You selling?"

"Selling for 10,000 Mountain Coins!"

"Ten thousand it is! I’ll pay you."

Long Ming drew his Poison Fang and pointed it at Xu Kai’s head.

This dirt bike was clearly the one he had left outside the primeval forest, parked with the military vehicles.

"Whoa, whoa, what are you doing? Don’t do anything crazy!"

Xu Kai was also a bit stunned. He didn’t expect this guy to pull a gun on him at the slightest disagreement.

"Talk. I parked this bike outside the primeval forest in the mountains. How did you get it?"

"Well..."

"Looks like you stole it. Believe it or not, I’ll blow your head off with one shot,"

Long Ming questioned him with a smirk.

"Ahem, brother, I like the look of you. How about this? I’ll give you a discount—1,000 Mountain Coins. It was a lot of work hauling this big thing over here. Even if I don’t get credit, I deserve something for the effort, right?"

Xu Kai quickly understood the situation and put on an obsequious smile.

"Fine. And throw in four cans of fuel!"

"What? Fuel is so expensive right now!"

"Are you throwing them in or not?"

"I am!"

Xu Kai reluctantly gave in, his face a mask of misery.

「Fifteen minutes later.」

Long Ming rode the dirt bike toward the exit of Buo City.

As he was about to reach the exit, he saw Legion Commander Rein standing there.

"Brother Rein, what are you doing here?"

Long Ming stopped his motorcycle in surprise.

"Friend, come with me for a moment,"

Rein said to Long Ming, taking a deep breath.

"Okay."

Although Long Ming wasn’t sure what Rein wanted, he got off the bike and followed him.

They soon arrived at an empty lot nearby.

Rein took a simple map, a mechanical key, and a slip of paper with a secret key from his pocket and handed them to Long Ming.

"This is for you."

"What’s this?"

Long Ming looked at Legion Commander Rein in astonishment.

"Haven’t you always wanted a suitable suit of exoskeleton armor?"

"Yeah."

"This is a secret route map to an underground base of our Faraken Kingdom. Inside the base’s secret vault is a top-tier, second-generation suit of exoskeleton armor. It’s not a heavy-duty model, but a more advanced ’Mecha-Armor’!"

"Mecha-Armor?"

"That’s right. This suit of Mecha-Armor is quite special. It retains powerful combat assistance features without being too bulky, and it doesn’t require specialized mechanical arms for removal! However, there’s something... odd about this suit. It was produced by a special department of the Aniska Empire. We acquired it by a stroke of luck back then, but for various reasons, we never dared to use it, so we stored it away. The reason I know so much is because I was the captain of this base’s garrison!"

Rein told Long Ming, taking another deep breath.

"Is this... appropriate?"

Long Ming was shocked to hear this.

"Sigh... I know this is a bit against the rules. But after thinking it over, you’ve been so good to us. It’s useless for us to hold onto this secret, so I’d rather just give it to you. Besides, it’s not even certain if we’ll survive."

A self-deprecating look appeared on Rein’s face.

Although they had gained a chance to breathe by joining Mountain City Mountain, deep down, he wasn’t optimistic that Mountain City Mountain could defeat the Blood Breath Beasts.

"Thank you."

Long Ming was touched after hearing Rein’s words.

"Don’t thank me. This is all I can do to help. Also, this base is located within our fallen royal city. The Blood Breath Beasts occupying it are very strong, so you must be careful. If it’s truly impossible, you have to know when to give up."

"Understood! I’m off. I’ll treat you to a drink when I get back!"

"Deal!"

Rein replied with a smile.

"Bye!"

Long Ming then bid Rein farewell and rode away on his motorcycle.

Soon, Long Ming had left Buo City and was driving on a steep mountain road. Along the way, he saw many vehicles and players.

Seeing Long Ming in his Night Ghost armor, the players’ eyes lit up. Many of them waved and shouted at him.

"Hey man, wanna team up?"

"Bro, carry us!"

...

But unfortunately for them, Long Ming didn’t even spare them a glance, riding straight past them.

...

「One day later.」

Long Ming appeared on a wide road, riding his dirt bike.

Suddenly, he saw a long convoy of Mountain City Mountain transport trucks advancing on the road ahead.

The transport trucks were also hauling artillery pieces.

’So much heavy weaponry... Just how intense is the fighting on the front lines?’

A look of astonishment crossed Long Ming’s face. He then sped up and took a side path to bypass them.

Not long after, Long Ming saw the silhouette of a giant city on the distant horizon.

SCREECH~

Long Ming slammed on the brakes, stopping abruptly. He lifted his wristband to check the map, and a smile immediately spread across his face.

He had finally reached the outskirts of the Faraken royal city.

Long Ming had expected the journey to be fraught with difficulties, but it had been surprisingly smooth. He only encountered one or two wandering Blood Breath Beasts along the way, and he just sped right past them without even fighting.

In a cheerful mood, Long Ming rode his bike toward the royal city.

「An hour later.」

As Long Ming approached the royal city, he was stunned by the scene before him.

An army had surrounded the entire royal city.
