Chapter 16: Locke’s Scheme

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the second team that Peter was in.

The captain was Lieutenant Colonel Ed, who was operating an Intermediate-Leveled Mecha.

Ed was a member of the Locke family.

However, it was just a side branch of the Locke family.

Just now, Locke had chosen the team that Ed led.

This delighted Ed.

After all, Locke was the first in line to succeed his the head of the orthodox family.

Ed would have a bright future if he could cozy up to Locke.

This was also why Locke had chosen to join the second team.

When it came to Lieutenant Colonel Carter, who led the first team.

Although he was experienced and powerful on the battlefield, he would not frame Peter with Locke.

After all, Carter’s family had positions in the upper echelons of the Federation.

Thus, he would not offend Locke’s family for Peter’s sake.

However, he would not watch as Locke killed Peter either.

To put it bluntly, Carter was a person with morals.

It was fine to play some tricks and bully others in front of him.

However, if Locke wanted to kill someone, Carter would definitely stop him.

Locke saw this trait in Carter.

Thus, he did not choose to join the first team.

After all, there was already a family member, Ed, whom he could use.

Thus, there was no need to annoy Carter.

In the second team, besides Ed…

The other person operating the Intermediate-Leveled Mecha was Carter’s younger brother.

There were also three other mecha students. Only Callie was not under Locke’s control.

However, Locke didn’t care about this.

On the contrary, it was Callie’s presence that further triggered Locke’s idea to kill Peter.

He wanted to let Callie see Peter die on the battlefield with her own eyes.

Just the thought of it excited Locke.

He desperately wanted to see it at this moment.

How would Callie look when that happened?

Would she cry uncontrollably…

Or would she be disheartened…

Then, Locke would take the opportunity to go up and reassure Callie.

He believed that it wouldn’t take long.

Callie would forget the dead Peter and turn into his arms.

He had used this method countless times on other girls, and he had never failed even once.

Thus, he had absolute confidence in this.

At this time, Peter and another genetics student followed behind the mechas.

“Big Boss Peter, if we find any mutated creatures later, I’m afraid I won’t dare to fight them.”

This genetics student had entered the Genetics College on the same day as Peter.

It was because he was usually timid that he chose the genetics course.

As for the other less dangerous courses, such as the logistics course, those were places that were famous in the Federation for being sources of extra income.

It was impossible for ordinary people to enter such courses without connections.

However, Peter ignored the chatter from the classmate beside him.

Instead, he was constantly observing his surroundings.

There was a canyon in front of this region. According to the current direction they were heading in, they would soon enter the canyon.

“Will there be any remaining mutated creatures in the canyon ahead?”

Peter made an independent guess.

If mutated creatures appeared in front of them at this moment, the Mecha Warriors would bear the brunt of the attack.

They would either kill the mutated creatures or seriously injure them.

If the second scenario happened, the Mecha Warriors would give up on the heavily injured mutant creature.

Then, they would look for other targets to continue attacking.

The heavily injured creature would then be attacked by the Genetic Warriors behind the Mecha Warriors.

This was the standard method used by the Federation when they were fighting mutated beasts.

The second team patrolled the area for more than half an hour.

However, they didn’t even find the remains of a mutant creature.

One of the mecha students could not help but turn on his voice transmission.

“The Mecha Warriors of the Federation are too awesome. Their ability to clear the battlefield can simply be described as terrifying.”

“We’ve been searching for a long time, but we can’t even find the remains of a mutated creature.”

“It was wise to choose the mecha course back then.”

“Be careful! A mutated creature has been found at 10 o’clock.”

Without waiting for the mecha student to finish lavishing his praises.

Lieutenant Colonel Ed, who had been keeping an eye on the situation ahead, issued an alarm.

Peter followed the voice.

A mutated wild boar appeared at 10 o’clock in his field of vision.

The mutated wild boar was over five meters long, and there was a horn on its ugly head.

“This is a C-Grade mutated wild boar.”

Peter saw the horn on the boar’s head and simply uttered the grade of the mutated boar.

If it had two horns on its head, it would be a mutated wild boar that had evolved to the B-Grade.

At this time, the mutated boar also discovered Peter and the others.

The mutated wild boar, which had been searching for food, suddenly unleashed its beastly nature.

It accelerated and rushed over.

Ed operated the Intermediate-Leveled Mecha without the slightest bit of panic.

Then, he immediately turned on the voice transmission.

“Young Master Locke, do you want to use this C-Grade mutated wild boar to practice?”

Locke smiled and operated his mecha.

He knew it was time for Peter to die.

He had discussed this with Ed in private for a long time before coming up with this idea.

After a while, Locke would pretend to fight the mutated wild boar.

He would first use his mecha’s firearms to anger the mutated wild boar.

As a result, the injured mutated wild boar would charge at them even more crazily.

That was exactly the effect Locke wanted.

Then, he would pretend to panic and operate his mecha to dodge.

The mutated wild boar that had gone mad simply would not stop.

Meanwhile, Peter, who was behind the mechas, would become a target for the mutated wild boar to vent its frustrations on.

Would Locke’s cunning plan work?

At this moment, Locke piloted his white painted mecha to the front of the team.

Behind him were two genetics students.

Peter didn’t realize that a crisis was imminent.
