<h4>Chapter 17: The Angry Locke</h4>

    At that moment, the mutated wild boar sped up.


    It was less than a hundred meters away from the second team.


    The white Elementary-Leveled Mecha’s firearms were ready.


    Then, the 3.5-meter-tall mecha activated itsbat mode.


    It looked rather domineering.


    Ny meters…


    Eighty meters…


    Fifty meters…


    At this time, Locke rapidly pressed the weaponunch button.


    Bang! Bang!


    Two bullets instantly shot out.


    At the same time, it hit the butt of the C-Grade mutated wild boar.


    At this moment, Locke intentionally did not aim at the mutated wild boar’s vital parts.


    If such a situation were to happen to Mecha Warriors who were officially undergoing military service…


    There was definitely no way they could exin this to the Federation.


    However, Locke was simply a student from the mecha course.


    This was the first time he had experienced abat test. Thus, he might be too nervous to aim.


    This was very normal.


    He had already nned everything.


    After the mutated wild boar was hit in the butt, it was just as Locke had imagined.


    It turned even more berserk andpletely ignored the pain from its wound.


    Instead, it charged directly towards the white mecha controlled by Locke.


    Just then, Callie realized that something was wrong.


    Locke’s strength was not the top among the mecha students.


    However, his control of the aiming system was not bad.


    No!


    Callie suddenly realized that Peter was behind the white mecha.


    In an instant, she understood Locke’s scheme.


    He wanted to lure the injured mutated boar to attack Peter, who was behind him.


    What a shameless scoundrel!


    Callie bit her lip angrily.


    Then, the mutated wild boar charged towards Locke’s mecha.


    Locke pretended to be very nervous and controlled his mecha to leap into the air.


    Due to the fact that Elementary-Leveled Mechas were not very heavy, their jumping ability was superior to that of Intermediate-Leveled Mechas.


    The white Elementary-Leveled Mecha mecha instantly jumped over 2 meters into the air, dodging the charge of the mutated wild boar.


    However, the mutated wild boar that had been injured had lost all reason.


    It continued charging forward.


    Peter was fully exposed in the mutated wild boar’s field of vision.


    “Peter, it’s dangerous!”


    “Callie?”


    Peter recognized the voice that warned him of the danger. It was Callie’s.


    After Callie realized Locke’s cunning n, she immediately operated her mecha to quickly move in front of Peter.


    It happened so suddenly that she did not have time to use the firearms on her mecha.


    Instead, she simply activated the running mode on her mecha. She was going to use the steel body of the mecha to stop the mutated wild boar from rushing towards Peter.


    Bang!


    Callie operated her mecha to ram into the ugly head of the mutated wild boar.


    A C-Grade mutated wild boar was over five meters long.


    Its weight had already exceeded the weight of an Elementary-Leveled Mecha.


    With this collision, even if Callie had the protection of the mecha, the resulting shockwave produced after the two forces collided simply knocked Callie unconscious.


    Meanwhile, the mutated beast was also hit badly by Callie.


    A dazed expression appeared on its ugly face.


    This slowed down the mutated wild boar’s momentum.


    “Callie!”


    Peter saw that Callie had operated her mecha to crash into the charging mutated boar in order to save him.


    When he tried to stop Callie, it was toote.


    Callie fainted, and the uncontrolled mecha fell to the ground.


    All mechas equipped by the Federation, regardless of their model, had protective systems.


    When its operator was unconscious or unable to operate their mecha, the protective system would decide whether to open the hatch depending on their judgment of the surrounding environment.


    The aura of the mutated wild boar was still present.


    Thus, the protection system in Callie’s mecha would not automatically open the hatch.


    At this time, Peter rushed to Callie’s mecha.


    Beside him was the mutated wild boar.


    [C-Grade mutated wild boar genes detected. Extracting…]


    [Extraction sessful. Congrattions to the host for obtaining 20 times more rage.]


    Hm?


    Peter heard the system prompt.


    He was only stunned for a moment.


    Then, he ignored it.


    He was more worried about Callie now.


    The extracted genes could be examinedter.


    Peter tried to wake Callie, who was in the mecha.


    Meanwhile, Locke, who was not far away, had a gloomy expression.


    “Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”


    “Why did you save Peter! Bitch!”


    With regards to Callie’s sudden move to save Peter…


    He could not understand it.


    Callie was the precious granddaughter of the President of the Federation. Why should she save a poor brat?


    However, what he did not know was that even without Callie, with Peter’s current strength, it could be said that he could kill a C-Grade mutated boar with a single punch.


    It was not an exaggeration.


    At this moment, the mutated wild boar’s dazed expression slowly disappeared.


    Locke was the first to discover this detail.


    He was indignant that his meticulous n had failed.


    At this moment, if someone could cause harm to the mutated wild boar, it could make the mutated wild boar wake up faster.


    Locke naturally looked at Ed.


    Then, he used the private chat to inform Ed of his next n.


    However, Ed hesitated.


    This was because if he used high-explosive bullets to attack the mutated wild boar at this moment, it would surely injure Peter and Callie, who were closest to the mutated wild boar.


    Callie was easier to deal with because she had been inside the mecha all along and was protected by it.


    However, Peter was a Gic Warrior with his whole body exposed.


    If Ed shot a high-explosive bullet, with the body of a Gic Warrior, even if Peter did not die, he would be severely injured.


    Ed would then be a murderer.


    Most importantly…


    The Federation had sent out unmanned detectors for thisbat test.


    They constantly recorded their every move.


    The Locke family was rich and powerful, but they could not go against the President of the Federation.


    However, Young Master Locke was fine.


    He would be the scapegoat.


    While Ed was still struggling, two high-energysers suddenly appeared.


    It simply prated the mutated wild boar’s brain and killed it.


    “Who used thesers!”


    Locke was extremely angry and immediately activated his voice transmission.


    His ns were interrupted time and time again,pletely infuriating him.


    Meanwhile, on their right, Carter piloted his mecha over.


    He was the one who had fired the twosers.


    “I received a distress message from Callie earlier, but I was still toote.”


    “How is Callie now?”


    Carter controlled his mecha and walked towards Callie.
