Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 574 The Real Beginning

What should I do? Who am I? Where am I? I feel so helpless.

This is a reflection of Luo Gandao's inner thoughts at this moment... He doesn't know why he is so awesome, why his opponents are so crazy, or why his teammates are so abnormal.

"I really want to call the police."

Luo Gandao stared blankly as Mu Xiang's plane crashed, but he quickly realized that this wasn't the end of it. A loud bang of mechanical failure echoed from the other side; Zheng Zha's mech was also plummeting into the sea!

"Huh? No, this chaff can penetrate two aircraft at once?" Luo Gandao couldn't help but shout, because after Zheng Zha's plane crashed, he saw a streak of light disappear into the distance... it was the chaff that seemed to have penetrated two aircraft at once!
There's a problem!

Before Luo Gandao could even grasp the situation, two mechs rushed towards him. Not to mention the fighter jets accompanying him, Luo Gandao, still shocked, accelerated in the opposite direction and launched all his ammunition, throwing the fighter jets in another direction and then perfectly catching all his munitions. One of the magnetic storm grenades, which he had been reluctant to use on the field, was enveloped in flames, directly swirling the fighter jets below.

“We don’t have many interceptor missiles left. It seems that this kind of battle will result in more losses than I thought, compared to gladiatorial combat…” Logand thought to himself, “All that’s left are two supersonic crossbow bolts.”

These supersonic crossbow bolts are different from the high-powered crossbow bolts that the United States mechs just used. They are Allied technology and are much smaller in size than the previous crossbow bolts specifically designed for mechs. However, in terms of armor-piercing power, they are in no way inferior. Moreover, they do not need to be loaded separately. Like the high-powered crossbow bolts, they occupy a special ammunition compartment and can be placed in the ammunition compartment of ordinary missiles.

Because of Mu Xiang's arrangement, these mechs were already fully loaded with firepower... Although they came out to participate in the competition, they did not bring many supersonic crossbows, and each of the four mechs was given two.

Luo Gandao shut down half of the power, allowing his Vowalski 40 to dodge the attack of the two enemy mechs with an uncanny speed and angle. Then, its steel shield shot out, severing half of the remaining arm of one of the melee mechs. This melee mech had been unlucky enough to be chosen by Mu Xiang, and as a result, it had lost three arms in a short time during the engagement.

The only remaining arm was bound to a weapon that posed little threat, so when Logando saw an opportunity, he used his steel shield to cripple that last arm. Strictly speaking, the two mechs that surrounded him could only be considered one and a half, because the combat power of this melee mech was negligible.

The melee mech intended for hijacking the transport plane failed to even touch it, losing arm after arm... its fate was obvious. Having seen this tactic before, Logan immediately created distance and raised his hand to fire at another mech that was also poised to attack.

What astonished Logandao most was that before the melee mech self-destructed, it was still waving its severed arm, as if it could grab him and die together… The powerful targeting system filtered out the fire from the mech's self-destruction and the smoke grenades released by the other mech, directly locking onto Logandao's last opponent. The other mech, however, was on the verge of being destroyed under Alexander's onslaught.

"Now it's your turn to take my arrow... Huh?" Logan pulled the trigger, and a supersonic crossbow bolt accurately struck the opponent's cockpit. The mech didn't even have a self-destruct mechanism; it still had its power source intact as it plummeted downwards... Its pilot had been killed by the arrow.

What surprised Luo Gandao wasn't that he had hit the target... After entering a peculiar state, doing these things seemed effortless. What truly astonished him was that he discovered he still had five crossbow bolts in his ammunition magazine. This was strange; when he checked the magazine halfway through firing, he only saw two... Now, including the ones he'd used, there were four more?
"How could this be..." Logandau wondered. He knew there wouldn't be any problems with Alexander's side, so he simply had the ammunition magazine perform a self-check. When the feedback came back, he saw the serial numbers of the four crossbow bolts.

Isn't this the four teams Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha used? Luo Gandao was once again completely bewildered, and a ridiculous but seemingly the only correct answer was about to emerge...

Alexander, unaware of the anomaly on Logan Road's side, managed to bait out several of his opponent's deadly attacks. Although he lost a mech arm, he still managed to smash the cockpit to pieces with a single punch... It was too late for him to self-destruct. He glanced at the system information and learned that two wingmen had been destroyed in the attack, but thanks to the complete coordination and individual force fields, there were no casualties.

The guards and staff who jumped from the plane are now waiting for rescue in some area of ​​the ocean below. Alexander, being a follower of Alexei, and in his words, those people were under his protection, so he told Logando and piloted his mech toward the signal.

Luo Gandao didn't reply to him. After figuring things out, he didn't even have time to mutter "I killed someone" like the protagonist in an anime after winning his first battle. He exited that mysterious state... Then, he gave the command to stabilize the levitation. Everything went black, and he almost fainted in the driver's seat.

If it weren't for the restraints, he probably would have been rolling around in the cockpit by now...

“So that state is the gene lock…” Luo Gandao thought helplessly, “How did I activate it for no reason? Wait a minute… Didn’t they say I was injected with some kind of virus?”

The bizarre pain coursing through his body began to scatter Luo Gandao's thoughts. He reached up and pinched his thigh, forcibly trying to distract himself, trying desperately to recall what kind of virus it was... Oh right, it was the T-virus...

"Why... is it still so painful..."

Luo Gandao was mistaken. The veterans of the Central Continent Team never told him that injecting the T-virus solution would unlock the gene lock painlessly... This thing only helped them break through the most difficult first step. Every time it was used after that, they had to bear it themselves.

Otherwise... if injecting this stuff could not only unlock things naturally, but also be painless after the first few uses, would that be any justice?
Luo Gandao couldn't understand any of this. His mech floated in mid-air, while he himself was plunged into a pain and confusion he had never felt before. His whole body was numb and in pain, and he couldn't even hear the system's medical diagnosis clearly. He could only barely pull off the oxygen mask and put it on himself to prevent his spasming respiratory system from not being able to breathe.

Feeling that numb and painful sensation, the thought flashed through his mind: If only my motorcycle could come and give me a ride...
