Chapter 101

Chapter 101

The gray mountains stretch on and on, with an eerie atmosphere of decay lingering between them and fallen leaves covering the dry roads.

The mountain was narrow and the ravine was long, with fierce artillery fire passing by - Zhao Lejie raised his shield to block everyone, and deployed the shield for protection during high-speed flight. He used the defense system of the mecha to the extreme, but even so, there were still endless pollutants emerging from all over the mountain.

"Damn, why are there more and more of them?" Zhao Lejie fell behind the team, but he could still see more and more pollutants emerging from the surrounding environment.

The last time the Koria contaminated area was open was during the Star Domain Competition, and now there are huge amounts of pollutants inside. When fighting the S-class pollutants previously, Gale's mecha warriors were very sensitive and did not alert other pollutants, and cleared out the S-class pollutants. However, who knew that problems arose when they had cleared out the first S-class in the mountains and were preparing to head to the second pollutant.

The pollutants in the entire mountain range were affected by something unknown, and they all rushed towards the mecha warriors, so that their way forward was almost completely blocked, and they could only risk taking more dangerous terrain.

"This is not a riot of pollutants." Qi Sicheng observed the surrounding situation while flying. "Generally, the targets of a riot of pollutants will not be just our mechas. For pollutants, they are each other's food. There are no S-level pollutants here, and the Koria Administration has no abnormality warning. We can only say that this situation is most likely man-made."

Qi Sicheng quickly adjusted the mecha's detection system. The mecha's thruster output was pushed to the lowest flight limit. The internal energy output was fine, and the rest could only be external factors. "I just checked and found an unknown liquid on our mecha. The leakage energy of this liquid is extremely high. Someone deliberately made us the target of these pollutants."

A mecha master said: "It must have been when we just passed through the forest! The vision is limited there, and we got stuck when we passed through the bushes!"

"How about we deal with these pollutants?" said another mecha master.

"You're stupid. If we stay here to clean up these pollutants, we'll really be held back." Zhao Lejie tried hard to block the pollutants. "KID has been quiet. Where can those people from the Second Star Region hide? They must be going to another S-level resource point in the mountains. Boss, why don't we just move all these pollutants to the second coordinate and confront GBK head-on."

"Do you think GBK has planned to such an extent that they would not have thought of our route of action?"

The mecha masters' expressions paused.

Having fought with GBK too many times, Qi Sicheng had been ambushed by people from the Second Star Domain many times in the Star Alliance Tournament. He had carefully reviewed the game in which GBK ambushed Black Crow. There is a commander in GBK named Bai Xuyan who is very good at calculations. His best offensive route is encirclement and suppression. In the Star Alliance Tournament, the five mechas formed an encirclement and suppression trend. What's more, there are so many pollutants now. The opponent will leave no room for them all to be trapped here.

The location of S-level resources is fixed. The Second Star Region must have guessed their shortest route of action, so they ambushed them on the way.

The next moment, when they turned out of the gorge, they saw more pollutants coming towards them. The pollutants attacking from the front and back formed an absolute encirclement.

Qi Sicheng's eyes darkened slightly. When he saw the pollutants coming out of the corner ahead, his face suddenly darkened: "They will only attract more pollutants and make us trapped."

-

Several mechas from the second star field hovered high in the sky, watching the Gale mechas being forced into the gorge.

"All the pollutants on this side of the mountain have been attracted here. Don't worry, Captain Bai. We have used a signal jammer, so there shouldn't be any problems on the base station side."

"But Hayate probably didn't expect that KID's energy liquid method would be fed back to them."

Bai Xuyan looked at the terrain in the mountains and saw Ji Feng fleeing in a panic, and the depression in his heart was relieved a little. This time, thanks to KID's method of using energy liquid, he came up with this plan. Originally, he just wanted to cause some trouble for Ji Feng, but now it seems that it is more satisfying to give Ji Feng a taste of his own medicine.

KID is just a trigger. Since he can't get the space-displacement crystal, the Dawn Galaxy must suffer the consequences.

"All the coordinates I calculated before are blocked. This kind of terrain gives us an advantage. Now that Jifeng has entered this place, there is no way for him to leave." Bai Xuyan lowered his eyes slightly. "Their signals cannot be transmitted from this place, and people outside can only watch. Jifeng is the first base of Dawn. If you use KID's method to deal with Jifeng, when the Jifeng mecha is damaged and rescued, it will not just be the mecha divisions who will be embarrassed."

"But Bai

Team, how do we deal with that weird female mantis over there at KID's end? ”

Bai Xuyan: "Then let them come over. They should have mastered the method of handling pollutants, but pollutants are pollutants after all, and they have their own thoughts. Their displacement method is very chaotic, and they may not be able to come over. If they can come over and bring the pollutants to our side, it will just be delivering the pollutants to our door."

"KID only has two choices. Either use the pollutant to save Jifeng, or kill the pollutant and give up saving Jifeng."

The other mecha masters looked at each other.

Bai Xuyan was not afraid of KID coming. On the contrary, he hoped that KID would come and deliver the goods to his door so as to save him from wasting energy.

"If I were KID, I wouldn't come to save people. With Hayate's strength, he won't die here. The most he would lose is some face."

Bai Xuyan originally wanted to save some face for the Dawn Galaxy, but now it seems there is no need to do so. "Let's go get the second S-class, and then go to the secondary planet to deal with Black Crow and YDS."

When several mechas passed by the side of the mountain, the Gale Mecha Master below caught sight of some of the mechas.

Zhao Lejie: ​​"It's GBK indeed! Aren't they afraid of being discovered by the Administration?"

"They did this because they probably brought signal blockers." Qi Sicheng said, "Signal blockers are not allowed in the arena, but we are on a mission now, and the staff of the Administration will not check the small blockers. They used pollutants, probably to target KID in addition to us."

Zhao Lejie heard this: "...Can they plot against KID?"

Qi Sicheng calmly analyzed, "You know what he meant by luring the tiger away from the mountain? He is testing whether KID will come to rescue us. KID just ran into another pollutant not long ago. If he comes to rescue us now, it means he will give up that pollutant."

"Boss, what you said is all very good, but Bai Xuyan's plan is based on the premise that KID will come to rescue us."

Zhao Lejie carefully did a multiple-choice question, "Between the pollutants and us, will KID choose us?"

Qi Sicheng: “…”

"That would be best."

-

In the Kolia Administration, everyone had to contact KID. Although the environment on the other side of the Gray Mountains was better than that of the Swamp Forest, when they detected a large amount of pollutants surrounding the Gale, their contact with the Gale Mecha Division had been intermittent until it was finally disconnected.

"The Administration did not detect any abnormalities in advance. The cause of the pollution riot is unknown."

When this happened, the first thing they did was to investigate the situation. After multiple layers of systematic analysis, they determined that the situation in which Jifeng was trapped in a pollutant riot was not simple, and the most likely possibility was that it was done by the Second Star Domain Mecha Division, which had been out of contact for a long time.

KID and the others didn't expect that Jifeng would encounter such a situation. Huo Yan heard what Shen Xingtang said and asked directly: "Boss, what do you think?"

"I'm not contacting you for any other reason, but to inform you of our next arrangements." Shen Xingtang listened to the crackling sound of electricity and said in short, "Qi Sicheng told us about the priority resources before. I have discussed with the Gale Base. We will not save Gale this time. We will buy time to grab other resources."

Shen Xingtang looked at Brother Zhang who was silent beside him. The other party was looking at the detection system with a gloomy face. It would be uncomfortable for any base to encounter such a predicament. The scale of pollutants encountered by Jifeng this time was much larger than that of the swamp forest before. If it was delayed, most of the mechas would be damaged.

"The Swift Wind can hold on." She said seriously, "We are planning to abandon the remaining resource points in the mountains. Brother Zhang, the person in charge of the Swift Wind base, wants you to abandon the main planet after you get the resources and go to other planets to assist."

This is also the best solution they came up with after discussing it, just like the initial choice of not saving KID. Qi Sicheng also said before that he must carry out the fight for resources to the end, and giving up Ji Feng is the best option.

This approach is indeed the best choice. Ying Chenlin knows Ji Feng's considerations. Just like the plan they had discussed at the beginning, only saving resources and not saving teammates, "is the most rational approach."

Although Brother Zhang wanted to save his own base, he also knew to consider the overall situation: "Then after you have dealt with the pollutants over there, go to YDS--"

Lin Yao said, "But we have already dealt with the pollutants here!"

Everyone at Shuguang was stunned. They clearly saw that it took KID less than 2 hours to reach the new S-level resource point. How could it be done in such a short time?

Brother Zhang said, "That's great, you guys go now."

The others were already finding the fastest route for KID to get to the YDS location, while KID was having a noisy discussion.

You Su suddenly asked, "What's the situation at YDS?"

Shen Xingtang replied: "YDS and Black Crow are having some friction with the people from the Second Star Region on the secondary planet. Currently, both sides are evenly matched. If you go over there, you should be able to help them gain the advantage."

The other two teams were not as lucky as KID. They were able to avoid the pursuit of the second star field every time. The situation on their side was evenly matched. The Second Star Region has placed all its important main forces except GBK on two secondary planets, and is determined to obtain the resources of the secondary planets.

After listening to what Shen Xingtang said, Ying Chenlin quickly opened the radar map of pollution sources sent by the other party. There were too many pollutants affecting the signals, and Jifeng's mecha signal was completely turned off.

Lin Yao asked: "Are we really going to this planet? Ignore the wind?"

"Jifeng and the others have helped us a lot, and it's a pity to give up the resources here." Huo Yan thought: "Since GBK hired someone to deal with Jifeng, they probably have a backup plan to deal with us. The boss and his team must have thought it through carefully."

"But I think that since they are doing this, their people must be very scattered, so if we really go up to grab the resources, we may not lose."

"It takes about 25 minutes to get from here to the pollution gathering point." Lu Xi did a simple calculation and reminded quietly: "It will take at least 40 minutes to go to YDS. In terms of support, it should be faster to go to Jifeng."

Several people looked at the female mantis lying next to them. With this thing, they could teleport faster, and it shouldn't be difficult to go over there and save Ji Feng.

Ying Chenlin looked at the location map sent from the mountain. The gathering of pollutants has a certain tendency. To a certain extent, pollutants have interfered with the signal in such an environment. This is why the second star field is fearless. "It is difficult to distinguish between mechas and pollutants over there because there are too many and the signals are chaotic."

You Su looked at the others and said, "There's no need to think so much. If you want to save them, just do it. Are you afraid of fighting?"

"Since YDS is evenly matched, the most likely outcome is a tie. As long as we hold them back, we will still have the upper hand."

From a planning perspective, the risk of rescuing people is too great. Shen Xingtang's consideration was correct, and they had already used Mantis to sneak through the second star field once before. GBK was not so stupid. He should have calculated the variable of Mantis and might have been prepared for them to pass through.

Simply put, the method of just rushing over to fight is feasible, but it is too impulsive and can easily backfire.

"If we were to fight in the past, we wouldn't be discovered in such an environment."

Ying Chenlin said: "The S-level pollution source is too big. If we go directly over there, they will have discovered it long ago. In other words, if we just move over there, they will definitely notice it."

The signal of the mecha can be hidden, but the S-level signal of the female mantis cannot be hidden. After multiple displacements, they were discovered by the other party before they could get near Gale.

Ying Chenlin was thinking, when Ji Qingfeng beside him suddenly asked, "That means if we can get close without being discovered, we can go over and fight, right?"

"Yeah." Ying Chenlin replied.

Ji Qingfeng continued: "I do have an idea. Old Huo is the one we used before. Do you remember it?"

Huo Yan recalled, "That! I have to try and see if it works."

Ying Chenlin paused for a moment and looked at them in confusion, "Is there a way to trick the radar?"

"You don't understand this!" Ji Qingfeng noticed the doubt in Ying Chenlin's tone and said with a smile: "But that's right, you guys who are playing alone should not know this thing, this is a trick that only stealth mechas and tank mechas can play."

KID and the others remained silent. Shuguang in the Kolya lounge had already calculated the shortest route to YDS and sent it to KID. Shen Xingtang paused slightly and saw that the other party did not receive the message. He was about to ask something when he suddenly noticed a slight change on the radar.

"Wait!? Brother Zhang!"

"The signal from the KID pollution source disappeared on the radar."

“Did they kill the mantis?”

Shen Xingtang paused and quickly searched for information.

Ji Qingfeng's voice followed: "Sister Tang, let's go save Ji Feng. If you can contact Ji Feng, remember to ask them to find a place with water to wait for us—"

As soon as they finished speaking, when they wanted to contact KID again, they found that the signal was disconnected.

Jiang Simiao was silent for a moment: "It seems they went to rescue Ji Feng."

Everyone knows that rescuing Ji Feng is not the best option under the current circumstances. Considering resource benefits, it is better to give up Ji Feng. Gale's situation is even more complicated than KID's before. Even if they can hold on while being chased by so many pollutants, the damage to their mechas may not be enough to sustain their subsequent operations. But when they heard KID say that he was going to rescue Ji Feng, everyone in Shuguang breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

But the next second, all of them became nervous again and went over to recalculate the effective route to rescue Ji Feng. The plan was changed again, and all coaches needed to recalculate the loss plan. The staff in charge of communication kept sending signals. "Captain Qi seems to often carry signal devices. If they are close to the base station, we should be able to contact them!"

He stopped halfway through his sentence and asked, "What did Ji Qingfeng say in the second half of his sentence?"

"It seems like we are told to tell Hayate to find a place with water to stay."

Everyone in Shuguang stopped immediately.

Someone asked cautiously: "Shui...Are they trying to blast a path to save people?"

Zhang Ge was just about to burst into tears: "?"

-

When the signal of the pollution source in the swamp forest disappeared, Bai Xuyan also received the news. He looked at the radar map transmitted to him, and when he saw that the signal representing the female mantis disappeared, his expression faded a little.

"It seems that KID is quite smart."

This choice is expected, and KID's choice is indeed wise.

The plan wasn't a complete failure for them, at least the threat of the unknown contaminant was gone.

GBK's mecha division has already locked onto the S-level pollutant. Bai Xuyan turned off the radar map and said, "Have someone keep an eye on it. Don't do anything too extreme. There are still Dawn's border troops outside. Just do what's necessary and don't let anyone find out."

The mecha master said: "The signal from their end is a bit poor due to the pollution. I haven't been able to contact them since the beginning."

Bai Xuyan ignored the matter and focused on the pollutants in front of him. "It's a little worse, but it's still only S-level."

Jifeng was a team with rich experience in dealing with many pollutants. After a brief assessment, Qi Sicheng led his teammates to evacuate from the encirclement. There were too many pollutants. In the current situation, they could no longer compete with the other side for resources. Reducing their own losses was the most important thing. "There is a base station on this side of the mountain. We should find a way to enter the base station and use the defense system to block these pollutants."

The mecha master who had been in charge of communication said: "If we get closer to the base station, our signal should be able to be transmitted."

However, when they approached the base station and just sent out the signal, they received a message from the rear of Kolya 15 minutes ago. The mecha master who received the message paused and said, "Deputy Captain Qi, which one should I hear first, the good news or the bad news?"

Zhao Lejie: ​​"Is there any good news here?!"

"The good news is that KID seems to have chosen us over the pollutants."

The mecha master said silently: "The bad news is that KID has been lured away from the mountain to rescue us, and he told us to find a place with water to stay -"

The Gale's mecha technicians looked towards the small lake not far away. They had just come here not long ago and originally wanted to use water to clean some of the contaminants on the mecha. But what they don’t understand is how to find a place with water?

On the other side of the mountains, three mechas from the second star field were keeping an eye on Ji Feng's situation.

They avoided the coverage of base stations near the mountains and carefully paid attention to the situation of Ji Feng at the foot of the mountain. There were too many pollutants and they could no longer see Ji Feng's mecha.

The map only shows densely packed pollutants below, and the pollution source on the swamp forest side has disappeared. They were indeed unhappy that the Dawn Galaxy took away the energy crystals in the swamp forest, especially that they were tricked, which made the Second Star Region lose face.

“Would that be too much?”

"What are you afraid of? We can just save the people when the time comes. The base station is nearby. The most that Jifeng will suffer is the loss of his mecha."

At this moment, a red dot of pollutants was approaching. The pollution value of the newly appeared red dot of pollutants was a bit high, and it was mixed with the scattered pollutant information. Several mecha warriors noticed it and thought it was pollutants that were affected nearby, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

But the next second they noticed that the red dot of the pollutant had disappeared and they were stunned, "Wait, I just saw a pollutant disappear."

"You must have seen it wrong. There are so many pollutants around here."

Before he could finish his words, several mecha masters were suddenly stunned. Before they could react, they saw a mecha suddenly appear beside them. The red and white-patterned mecha had some blackened marks on it. The guard mecha held a long sword in his hand, and then swung the long sword horizontally.

The knife was struck quickly and fiercely, hitting the mecha master directly before he could react.

The two mecha masters didn't react, but when they looked closely, they found that what appeared in front of them was KID's mecha.

"Wait!? What's going on?!"

"KID is coming here so soon!?"

The Second Star Domain Mecha Division flying in the air immediately noticed this scene and hurriedly flew over to support his teammates. But when they flew three steps away, two bursts of lightning cannons suddenly came from the rear, and the guards' lightning cannons made them feel paralyzed the moment they were hit.

The sudden change caught the three mechas from the second star field off guard. It seemed that they did not expect that a mecha master would dare to attack them so blatantly.

They suddenly looked in a certain direction and saw a mecha! ?

At this moment, in another part of the mountains, the gun and artillery mecha that had been ambushed long ago locked onto the mecha on the high ground. When the target appeared in the sight, he immediately pressed the sniper cannon that had been charged long ago.

At the same time, the control mecha lurking on the side also pressed the energy enhancement cannon. The sniper cannon and the enhancement cannon hit the two mechas in the second star field, immediately causing a huge explosion wave!

The movement in the sky attracted the attention of the people of Jifeng below. When they looked up, they saw several mechas falling from the sky, knocking away several pollutants at once, and falling in front of the people of Jifeng. Immediately afterwards, there were loud bangs in the air, as if something had caused an explosion in the air, and pollutants fell from the sky like rain.

Qi Sicheng paused and looked up.

At this time, there was a noise beside me. Suddenly, a huge monster appeared around them. Its huge forelimbs stepped on the pile of pollutants, and the powerful vibration caused the surrounding pollutants to stop attacking.

Zhao Lejie immediately opened the protective shield and stood in front of his teammates.

At this time, he heard a familiar voice.

"Old Zhao!"

There were two mechas standing on the left and right of the giant mantis. One was a tank mecha with its protective shield turned upside down, and a white light covered the entire pollutant. Next to it stood a stealth mecha.

The stealth mecha's special anti-stealth magnetic field was turned to the extreme. He grabbed the pollutant with one hand and landed steadily in front of the people of Jifeng.

Ji Qingfeng's loud voice rang out through the external speaker. He pulled the mantis's head high and said coolly, "Brother, get in the car. Let's go and grab the pollutants from GBK."

Zhao Lejie: ​​“???”

What the hell is this! ?

The author has something to say:

Here we come! 200 red envelopes are dropped in this chapter.

(Covering face) I was halfway through typing when the neighborhood was sealed off.
