Chapter 107⑤

Chapter 107

The sudden change caught everyone off guard. Seeing the two mechas being dragged into the woods, all the mecha pilots immediately drove their thrusters and followed closely. However, the dragging force of that tentacle was extremely strong. Even under the attacks of other mecha masters, it could still maintain a constant dragging speed.

Compared with it, the reverse propulsion of Ji Qingfeng and Zhao Lejie's mechas was nothing and was completely unable to resist.

The other mecha masters kept up with the tentacles' speed, and fired one attack after another at the tentacles, barely slowing them down.

At this dragging speed, the mother mantis and the mecha will be dragged to the end by the pollutants!

"We can't let it get dragged in." Huo Yan said urgently, "The real body of this thing is even harder to deal with!"

Just one tentacle is enough to give so many people a headache. If it is the real body of this thing, can they still deal with it?

Ying Chenlin's peripheral vision fell on the ground. The ditch on the ground where this thing passed was very deep, and the depth of the sinking was almost consistent with the tentacle. It seemed that this thing did not approach them in a short period of time, but had been crawling on the surface long ago, covered by the dead branches and leaves in the scorched forest. He scanned the radar location. The female mantis was still responding, but there was no response on the radar.

"No!" The Gale Mech Master shouted, "There's no way we can break this thing!"

Qi Sicheng's expression was a little serious. Their control weapons had almost no control over this thing. "Control is ineffective."

Ji Qingfeng didn't dare to pull the binding sickle too hard, as such a pulling force would only cause it to break. He jumped off the mantis and pulled it with Zhao Lejie on the left and right. "What kind of structure is this thing? I've never seen anything so powerful!"

Seeing the speed of dragging increase, You Su's eyes fell on the end of the scorched forest. He frowned and said, "Ji Qingfeng, keep the direction steady."

Ji Qingfeng: “?”

You Su quickly switched to the sniper cannon and pushed the charging bar to the maximum value. The bound hind legs of the female mantis appeared in the scope, and he attacked fiercely when the power was fully charged.

Before Ji Qingfeng could react, the female mantis was suddenly attacked and its entire body tilted in a certain direction. The vibration had just stabilized when You Su's second sniper shot was ready and hit the female mantis again!

Ying Chenlin shouted, "Move it a little higher, its joints are the most vulnerable."

The Yousu sniper cannon moved up a little, and the 100% sniper cannon fired again. Several consecutive attacks completely broke the female mantis's bound legs. Several wire worms fell from the broken body. The tentacles grabbed the broken limbs of the female mantis and quickly rushed away. Ji Qingfeng and Zhao Lejie's two mechas fell to the spot along with the female mantis.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and watched the tentacle disappear at the end of the scorched forest, finally without a trace.

Qi Sicheng said in a deep voice: "He ran away."

Huo Yan was a little surprised: "This thing doesn't look that intelligent."

Ji Qingfeng looked at it and said, "My daughter has only one leg, which is pitiful."

"It's better than having your daughter dragged in and eaten, right?" Zhao Lejie looked at the mantis's broken legs and felt his scalp tingling when he saw the larvae falling out. "Your daughter's offspring are really good at eating. They've hollowed out this mantis."

This is thanks to the hollowing out, otherwise it would be difficult to break the limbs of an S-level pollutant in a parasitic state.

"What the hell is that thing?"

"It doesn't look like a pollutant. There is no pollutant reaction."

"Isn't that a pollutant?"

Around

The mecha masters discussed it and were still frightened by what they had just seen. When the means of attack and control were almost ineffective, the deterrent effect brought by that thing was too great.

"Luckily it was Dafeng's daughter that it was dragging." Lin Yao looked towards the woods. "If it was a mecha that it was dragging, what would we do?"

If this thing is tied up and bombarded wherever it goes, the mecha will basically lose its ability to resist, especially since we don't know what this thing is. Qi Sicheng and Huo Yan's expressions became somewhat solemn. They had been standing on the edge before and had not realized the danger of the restricted area. But if there was this thing in the scorched woods, their situation would actually be a bit dangerous.

"We can't deal with this thing." Qi Sicheng looked at You Su: "How far is the exit from here?"

"At the speed without using the thrusters, it will take at least another hour to get back to the edge of the shielding system." You Su glanced at the location, "If you want to go faster, I suggest you go straight through the woods."

"It's too risky to go through the woods." Qi Sicheng said, "The real body of that thing is in the woods."

The scorched woods were also very quiet. After the tentacles left, the forest returned to peace.

It was so quiet that there wasn't even a trace of wind, and if it weren't for the traces of the long trench dragged on the ground, the other mecha masters wouldn't have dared to imagine that this thing was lurking on the surface.

"It should be half buried in the ground, lurking all the time." Ying Chenlin paid attention to the traces on the surface. "In addition to some new soil that was dragged away, the land on the side was dry and cracked, which means it has been staying in this ditch all the time. It didn't stand up until we passed by it and attacked the mantis."

This ditch was formed over a long period of time, and with this depth, they might not have been able to discover it even if they passed by that thing.

"I think it will be faster to go through the woods." Ying Chenlin said, "That thing should return to the ditch. Before it comes out, this place should be safe for the time being."

After listening to Ying Chenlin's words, Qi Sicheng had already checked the situation around the ditch and asked, "Can you determine the shortest distance?"

You Su half raised his eyes and said in a light tone: "I haven't been to this place for a long time, I don't remember it clearly."

"The shortest way, right?"

Qi Sicheng noticed that You Su had other meanings in his words: "What do you mean?"

You Su said: "Yes, there is, but I can't guarantee its safety."

"It's unsafe everywhere here, so it doesn't seem to make any difference where we go, right?" Zhao Lejie said.

Ying Chenlin slightly turned sideways and looked at You Su thoughtfully.

"We're already in the woods, so let's go." Huo Yan said, "There haven't been any new instructions from the Administration, so we might run into border troops on the way."

Having said that, Qi Sicheng considered carefully and confirmed that he had spoken a few words to his own mecha master.

KID and the others saw Gale's stealth mecha going up along the ditch. Qi Sicheng said, "This method may not be safe. We have rich experience in stealth reconnaissance. He is in the front to help us keep an eye on the situation of that thing."

"Not leaving?"

Ying Chenlin was still thinking about something, but suddenly he heard You Su's voice in the channel they had established before.

He came to his senses and noticed that You Su had walked some distance away, with the mecha facing him.

You Su: “Follow.”

Ying Chenlin calmed himself down and followed immediately.

-

At the entrance to the restricted area, the border mecha warriors who had just jumped to the nearby area imported the internal system that was temporarily opened in the restricted area. With the special detection system combined with the overall monitoring and control of the entire restricted area, they were able to clearly capture the signals of KID and the Gale Mecha.

When they noticed that the signals of several mechas were approaching the center point, several mecha masters frowned.

"Their positions have changed."

"The speed of movement has gone from fast to slow, so it must be due to an attack."

"Their mechas don't have any special systems on board, so they might get lost inside."

"Captain, why don't you ask them to stay where they are."

In the five-person communication system, the man was looking at the radar system, his eyes fell on the KID mecha in front of the radar system. When he was in the control room of the Administration, he noticed that this group of mecha warriors seemed to be looking for an exit along the edge, but in fact their direction was very clear.

The entrance to the restricted area is hidden and it is a hidden door.

Normally, they would stop and go while looking for an exit, and check the shielding system again and again, but the pace of that group of mecha masters was basically constant, without stopping, as if they knew the entrance was not there. So he didn't ask the group of mecha warriors to stay on standby, just to confirm the authenticity of this information point.

Apparently, one of them knew where the entrance was.

"They are not moving towards the center, but towards the exit." The man paid attention to the ID named trace, "Do you have information about these mecha masters?"

Upon seeing this, the Border Army's mecha division contacted the main control room to borrow the information. The other party was very fast and transmitted the information through the special connection between the Border Army's mecha and the restricted area. When the data came over, the man first clicked on the automatic match. A new update appeared on the radar information, and a mecha logo was added after the trace's ID.

When the mecha logo named 'Theo' appeared, the man's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Theo."

"team leader?"

"They chose the shortest route." The man frowned and looked at the radar signal location again. He saw that the coordinates of the trace were indeed moving towards the exit, but the line they chose would pass through the midpoint of the core, which means it would pass through that place.

On their system, there was a purple spot of light in the middle of the restricted area.

"Go directly to the base station." The man said in a slightly heavier tone, "The route they are taking will pass by an abandoned base station."

-

The woods were very quiet. Apart from the rustling sound of the mechas passing over the ground and against the fallen leaves, there were no other sounds. Having been attacked by the tentacle just now, the mecha warriors paid special attention to the situation on the ground when moving.

Ying Chenlin followed behind You Su, keeping his eyes on the direction of the other party's movement.

It was clearly a road that You Su could not remember clearly, but You Su led the way more naturally than before.

You Su didn't say anything, and Ying Chenlin didn't ask.

Ying Chenlin gently held the hot key necklace and used his mental strength to calm the heat coming from the mecha.

The two walked in front, leaving a distance behind the mecha.

Zhao Lejie couldn't help but look forward a few times, and then looked at Ji Qingfeng beside him, whose attention was completely focused on his daughter. He had no choice but to ponder it in secret.

Ji Qingfeng: "Be careful, don't let the mecha touch my daughter's wound."

Zhao Lejie: ​​"This mantis died a long time ago. Your daughter probably didn't even feel her broken leg, so why should she be afraid of the wound?"

While talking, Ji Qingfeng, who was standing in a high position, suddenly saw something, "Hey wait! Look at the 11 o'clock position, there seems to be a building."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xi immediately adjusted the sight towards the location Ji Qingfeng mentioned. When a building appeared in her field of vision, she was slightly startled.

At the 11 o'clock position, a light purple defense shield was lighting up on the other side of the scorched forest. Inside the defense shield was a fully equipped base station in the contaminated area.

As soon as they saw the base station, all the mecha pilots stopped.

Qi Sicheng frowned and asked, "Why is there a base station in this place?"

Huo Yan was also surprised: "I haven't heard of a base station here."

Ying Chenlin paused for a moment and turned his head to look towards You Su's position.

"It seems we are lucky." You Su said lazily, "We came across an abandoned base station that is still in operation."

The author has something to say:

Here it comes.

I’m sorry, I really couldn’t write it last night, and I didn’t get the hang of it until this morning.

This chapter is to make up for the extra update I promised everyone last night (slipping on my knees to apologize). 100 small red envelopes will be dropped in this chapter.
