Chapter 231

Chapter 231

Even though there was a maximum defense system in between, the energy wave caused by the explosion was truly enormous. In just a few seconds, the energy wave was sweeping outward wildly, sweeping all the starships hovering on the periphery a long distance away. The border troops in the Abandoned Administration realized that the situation was not good and broadcast a message for all spaceships to evacuate.

"Everyone evacuate the Slarede defense line! Quickly!"

The underground core energy of the main star Slared was almost drained by Kronos. The power brought by the explosion of heavy weapons was more severe than the border troops expected. When the energy wave hit the defense system again, a large number of starships had already retreated at full firepower.

Gale's small spaceship entered the first starship of the Dawn Galaxy, and the Dawn wounded from the main star of Slared were also sent to the starship as soon as possible.

"How could such a huge explosion happen?!" Shen Xingtang stood at the berth of the first starship in the Dawn Galaxy. The hatch was tightly closed. Her eyes could not help but fall into the distance. "Where is the jump? Have You Su and the others jumped out?"

Jiang Simiao ran while holding the data pad, "The energy wave affects the signal, and their location is not detected now!"

Shen Xingtang didn't dare to relax at all and kept his eyes fixed on the outside.

The Dawn starship was not flying fast, and they fell behind, waiting for the two mechas to appear.

"The wounded move inside! Don't crowd at the berth!"

"The mecha is out!!"

"All the starships are evacuating! The explosion has spread over a wide area. We have to evacuate the defense line to be safe!"

When the stretcher carrying the wounded passed by the window of the starship, the injured mecha pilot jumped off the stretcher without a care in the world, and everyone's eyes were all on the outside of the starship. The starship's autonomous defense system has been activated to resist the waves of energy coming from the Slared explosion. The Slared Abandonment Management Bureau standing in space has deviated from its operating route under the impact of the energy waves, and the white light of the defense system outside the main star has become weaker and weaker.

It was the first time that the mecha soldiers saw such a horrific explosion. Compared with Qiu Jin’s heavy weapons, the destructive power brought by Slared’s heavy weapons this time was extremely powerful. The meteorite belt outside Slared was greatly shifted by such a shock wave, causing great flight difficulties for all the evacuating starships. At this time, the border army's warships were at the outermost edge, using their huge hulls to resist the impact of the meteorites.

The border army's warships kept calling out to the last two mechas to evacuate during the flight, but received no response in the huge shock wave.

The United Front channel was completely silent. The leaders on the line did not relax, their eyes all fixed on the huge radar map, waiting for the signal to be generated.

"Can we escape?" the border soldier couldn't help but ask.

"Before the explosion, the jump system had already been activated." The Third Star Region officer looked at the prompt on the other side that said 'Jump Successful'. The program table in front of him had been locked on the Abandoned Administration Bureau. "If the jump was successful, they should be in the direction of the Administration Bureau now."

No one dared to imagine further. A successful jump would take time. With such a large energy wave, no one dared to predict whether it would have an impact on the constructed jump channel. Whether the two mechas in the jump would have coordinate shifts due to the forced jump, or whether the channel would collapse during the jump.

"Trust the two mecha masters."

“They are both excellent drivers.”

And at this moment, in a large circle of shock waves, two tiny figures appeared in the vast universe.

The two mechas with offset coordinates jumped out at the position closest to the shock wave and were swept to a farther position by the shock wave. The First Starship of the Dawn Galaxy, which had been flying at the rear, captured the signals of the two mechas with looming signals at this time.

Li Jingyan shouted: "There is a signal!"

The experienced Lieutenant Colonel Lu reacted immediately and sent a 'boarding' signal to the two mechas. "Send them a signal and amplify our coordinate signal to the maximum! Let them notice us!"

"Get ready to board the plane and clear all the parking spots." Elder Qiu walked to the front with his cane, his cloudy eyes scanning the flight status of the two mechas in the close-up view, "Something is not right, there are problems with the flight of both mechas, maintenance technicians, get all maintenance technicians to the parking platform, we have to rescue the mecha technicians!"

"Everyone evacuate the berthing area!" The Dawn First Starship was ready and broadcast: "The mecha is about to enter the spacecraft! Everyone leave the berthing area!"

The broadcast from the starship reached everyone, and the Dawn mecha divisions and staff left the anchorage point one after another. Just as they were leaving the anchorage point, the hatch of the ship opened, and the red and white mecha and another border army mecha crashed into the anchorage point while flying at high speed, causing a bang and colliding inside the starship.

The people standing on the high platform at the anchorage were blown back a few steps by the blast caused by the collision. Shen Xingtang reacted, "Hurry up, all maintenance technicians, follow me, open the cockpit and rescue people! Prepare for explosion-proof, cool down and condense quickly!"

Shen Xingtang jumped down from the platform, and a group of maintenance technicians from the Dawn Galaxy brought by Li Jingyan on the starship followed him, targeting the two mechas that had crashed into him. After the jump, the two mechas were severely damaged in the shock wave of the explosion, and the cockpits and other parts were damaged or dented.

Shen Xingtang immediately jumped onto the cockpit of the gun mecha with the mechanical pliers. The scorching temperature burned her right hand in the maintenance suit red, but she did not stop. When the condensing agent for maintenance was sprinkled, she clamped the mechanical pliers into the position.

"The Dawn starship received the signal, and they have already boarded the mecha."

"Repairs are in progress. Life signs have been detected in both mechas!"

When the information was transmitted to the United Front channel, everyone felt relieved, but the situation was not yet time to relax completely.

Li Jingyan stood in the control room of the starship with a solemn expression. Looking back from his position, he saw that the highest defense system of the main star Slarede in the distance began to collapse. In the successive shock waves, the energy of this abandoned old system was exhausted, and the optical components of the defense system were scattered in the impact, like a shining white light in the vast space, spreading outwards suddenly with the continuous impact.

"Slarede is ruined." Qiu Lao said, "Fortunately it is in Slarede."

Slared has two layers of defense. The first layer of defense is Slared’s highest defense system, and the second layer of defense is Slared’s defense line.

The impact on Slarede can be quickly mitigated by these two layers of defense, but the residual energy generated by this explosion in a short period of time may have a significant impact on the inhabited stars around the Donno galaxy in the third star field.

"Kronos won't be able to survive such an explosion, right?" Li Jingyan was still worried.

Mr. Qiu shook his head: "I don't know. Chronos is a pollutant that cannot be explained by common sense."

Director Liu couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What kind of pollutant is Kronos?"

"Humanity's power has been growing since the development of the Star Alliance, but in the territories outside the borders that the Star Alliance has not yet conquered, there are pollutants like Chronos that are enough to bring about a crisis of destruction to humanity." Lieutenant Colonel Lu said, "I have never seen it. Its true form has not been made public in the database. It is said that only a handful of mecha pilots have seen its true form."

At the Dawn starship's berthing point, emergency repairs are still ongoing.

After condensation and cooling, several maintenance technicians worked together to speed up the disassembly process. When Shen Xingtang pried open the multiple layers of defense in the cockpit and landed on the last layer, she carefully dismantled the last layer. As soon as she opened it, she smelled a strong smell of blood. Her heart suddenly rose when she saw two people snuggling together in the cockpit. ▲

There were no two layers of fixing measures in the single-seat mecha. The thinner boy wore a loose mecha master's coat and sat sideways on the man's body, slightly curled up. You Su's left hand was tightly protecting Ying Chenlin's head. The untreated wound on his left arm had split open and was bleeding, staining the cockpit red, which mixed with the turbid smell of engine oil in the cabin, making it impossible to tell the state of the two people's injuries.

Shen Xingtang shouted outside, his voice hoarse from being unheard of: "Doctor, doctor, come here!"

In the cockpit, You Su heard the noise from outside and opened his eyes, "Take him out first."

Shen Xingtang turned back suddenly and saw the latter's slightly clear eyes: "You Su!?"

"He's not dead. There's no need to shout so loudly." You Suo struggled to tear off the sympathetic nerves on his body. He was still able to move. After adjusting his position, he picked up Ying Chenlin. The latter was very light and there was no sense of weight in his arms. "Is the doctor here?"

The doctor quickly climbed to the top of the mecha and the stretcher was brought up.

Seeing someone coming to take over, You Su raised his hand to lift Ying Chenlin out and told the doctor who came to rescue him, "He was still conscious not long ago. He may have fainted due to exhaustion. Check his mental strength."

Shen Xingtang was watching from the side. When he saw the doctor carrying Ying Chenlin away, he looked at You Su unconsciously, "You——"

"Me what?" You Su supported the splint with one hand and came out of the cockpit holding Shen Xingtang's hand. "Don't worry, it's just the left hand that's injured. It will be fine after treatment."

"What do you mean nothing?!" Shen Xingtang's voice became more serious. "Doctor, take this person to the medical room and check him out."

She looked at You Su coldly: "You were reckless when you were young. What do you mean you only hurt your left hand? Are you a blood cow? Can't I see the blood all over the cabin?"

You Su had a meal.

Shen Xingtang had already communicated with the doctors, and several doctors came up and pressed You Su onto the stretcher nearby. After this push, You Su looked up and saw a group of Shuguang's injured soldiers, some in wheelchairs and some lying on stretchers, watching the excitement on the high platform.

You Su: “…”

Zhao Lejie said: "Your boss is the real murderer."

You Su dares to be so fierce, he deserves to be the boss of KID.

"Sister Tang is quite easy to talk to." Ji Qingfeng said: "She is gentle."

Hu Luobu still remembered the scene when he saw Boss Shen scolding people in the lounge when he was in Tianyu Star, and couldn't help but ask: "Has your base ever been yelled at by her?"

"No, she just can't bear to say anything about Shen Lin." Ji Qingfeng said, "She usually doesn't yell at people, except when they are stubborn."

"Have you seen enough?" The doctor next to him said, holding back his temper, "If you stay any longer, my fists will harden in no time."

Injured mecha masters: "..."

The doctor's angry voice filled the entire parking lot, and a group of people were rushed to the medical room.

When Wei Changyang came out of the cockpit, he saw such a chaotic scene. He held the cockpit to the ground. The adjutant who came over looked at him worriedly. He looked at

You Su, who had been carried far away in the distance, couldn't help but chuckle, "I was taught a lesson by the young man."

"Please stop messing around." The adjutant couldn't help but say, "There are still many things to deal with later. Can you please not do it yourself next time?"

Wei Changyang refused the doctor's care and said he was fine. He soon went to the control room of the Aurora Starship under the guidance of his adjutant to hold a remote control meeting. "The matter of Slared is not over yet. I can't let go of my worry until I see the death report of Kronos."

-

The energy wave that swept through Slared was barely stopped until it reached outside the defense line, but the chaotic meteorite belt was made even more chaotic by the waves generated by the explosion, causing a large number of evacuated starships to suffer varying degrees of damage. The damage to the starships was a small matter, but the bigger problem fell on the mecha divisions participating in the Covenant mission. In essence, the Covenant mission was to clear up the polluted environment in Slared's gradually out-of-control area, but a new energy source was discovered along the way, and finally the long-hidden super S-level pollutant Chronos appeared.

After a series of events, even if the Star Alliance mobilized the three main ships of the Third Star Region Border Army for support at the first time, it could not have predicted that Kronos could turn Slared into its current state in just five hours. The report on the handling of the Slared accident was instantly transmitted to the Star Alliance headquarters, and all major star regions held a joint meeting to give top priority to handling the Slared incident.

The news of the Slarede accident could not be suppressed. When the emergency shelter was taken in the Donno Star System of the Third Domain, the news had already spread on the Star Alliance Star Network in the first place. Since the stabilization of the Star Alliance, there have been occasional chaos in the contaminated areas within the Star Alliance, but they were all quickly resolved by the mecha divisions. This was the first time in fifty years that the Star Alliance's highest system had summarized and reported on the incident, which instantly attracted the attention of countless netizens.

Discussions about the Slared incident are increasing, and the Covenant is calculating the losses caused by the Slared accident.

The biggest loss was the Covenant's mecha divisions. During the first phase of the Covenant mission, none of the Covenant's powerful teams suffered any losses. The biggest loss occurred after the appearance of Chronos. The explosion of a large amount of pollutants caught all the mecha divisions off guard, and the shock waves of the successive explosions caused a large amount of damage to the mechas, and the mecha divisions in the cabin were injured. Fortunately, the major powerful teams in the Covenant mission were supported by spaceships and starships, so that the injured mecha divisions could be rescued as soon as possible.

But this was also the most devastating loss in the history of the Covenant mission.

The 12 mecha divisions in the Dawn Galaxy all had injuries of varying degrees. The doctors strictly ordered the mecha divisions not to leave the medical room. This time, the heads of all the mecha bases in Dawn reached a unanimous opinion and locked the mecha divisions in the medical room for two days. During this period, they spent half a day lying in the medical cabin. Passing by the medical room area, one could hear several mecha divisions complaining.

"Why can't we get out? How is this different from being in jail?" Zhao Lejie asked through a medical window: "Lao Zhang, you can't be so cruel."

Brother Zhang's attitude was more resolute than ever before. He left Zhao Lejie without even looking at him, leaving behind a heartless back.

The ones with the most serious injuries were Zhao Lejie, Lin Yao and You Su. These three had been in the medical cabin for the longest time. Fortunately, they were all mecha pilots with excellent physical fitness and amazing recovery abilities... Among all the people, the only one who fell into a deep coma was Ying Chenlin. His external injuries were cured in the medical cabin, but the problem was that his mental power was severely overdrawn. According to the doctor, his mental power was overdrawn twice. Surprisingly, he did not fall into a coma during the overdrawn state, and forced himself to continue using it, which led to his mental power being suppressed to a state of exhaustion.

This situation was very strange. Generally speaking, mental exhaustion should be treated according to mental power methods, but Ying Chenlin's situation was too special. He did not fall into a coma after overdrawing twice. This situation was unprecedented. Considering other people's descriptions of Ying Chenlin's mental power, several border military doctors did not dare to use random methods to treat him, for fear of causing irreversible damage to his mental power.

The border troops went back and forth with the doctors of the Dawn Galaxy. Skin injuries were easy to treat, but the doctors paid more attention to mental problems. Finally, the medical report was sent to Dr. Eric who was far away in Sirius. After the attending physician checked and compared the mental power, everyone dared to start treatment.

It was originally expected that Ying Chenlin would not wake up for three days, but he woke up in the medical room on the second night.

It happened to be night when he woke up. In order to make it convenient for Ying Chenlin to recuperate, his medical room was located at the very edge, away from the group of energetic and noisy mecha technicians in the center. In the same room with him was the less talkative You Su.

When he opened his eyes, Ying Chenlin's consciousness seemed to still remain in the narrow cockpit. Although he was surrounded by the smell of medical cabin repair fluid, all he could recall in his mind was the turbid smell of blood in the cockpit. His throat was so dry as if it was wrapped with a razor blade. He opened his mouth but could not speak. He was overwhelmed with physical and mental fatigue. He only heard the smart machine beside the bed making a prompt sound, and then several doctors came in to examine him.

"His mental healing phase is also very special."

"He is a patient with a genetic disease. He turned out to be an S-class psychic."

"The mental power fluctuates for a long time, and it can still maintain this stability... I have never seen this before."

Ying Chenlin had no idea what was happening outside. His tense nerves broke the moment the mecha jumped out of Slarede. His mind went blank and he fell into a coma... The last thing he remembered was that he was pressed into You Su's arms. He didn't feel the turbulence of the jump. He didn't know if he was too tired or if You Su protected him very well.

After the doctor finished the examination, other talents rushed in. The mecha operators could not leave the medical room, so they all squeezed over to see Ying Chenlin who had woken up.

Most of the people were sitting in wheelchairs, squeezed into the small medical room. The noisy sounds made Ying Chenlin sober up a bit, and he was able to sit up and talk to people. His eyes fell on You Su, who was at the outermost edge. The latter was only wearing a coat, and one could vaguely see bandages wrapped around the thin collar.

Zhao Lejie said: "Lao Zhang scolded me."

"Fuck, our boss even called us to scold us, saying we don't care about our lives." Hu Luobu continued, "Chi Lizi, did your boss scold you?"

Chi Liz shook his head: "I didn't answer it, the captain did."

Noticing Ying Chenlin's silence, Lu Xi asked quietly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ying Chenlin came back to his senses and said in a hoarse voice: "No."

Ying Chenlin looked at the other people around him, and after careful consideration, he said, "I took the risk. I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to apologize for. This kind of thing is all about opportunities and risks. We were in the snowy mountains at the time. Even if we didn't participate in the competition for special energy, it would be difficult for us to get high scores due to the disadvantages of the situation." Qi Sicheng said: "We are far behind other mecha bases in terms of combat readiness. If we don't take risks, it will be difficult for us to get high scores."

Colin also said: "If we felt there was no need to take the risk, we would have vetoed your decision at the time."

Wen Yi continued what Ke Lin said: "No rejection means approval, you don't need to apologize."

Ying Chenlin thought a lot under the ice. Even if the chance was one in a billion, there was still a possibility of an accident. Because of his intuition and game, all the Dawn mechas were in crisis the first time they encountered Kronos. As a commander, he made the mistake of not considering it enough. Now seeing so many people injured because of him, he felt an indescribable depression in his heart. The more he heard these people's voices, the more he felt that being alive was such a rare and precious thing.

At this moment, someone suddenly pressed down heavily on his head. He raised his eyes slightly and smelled a faint scent of medicine.

You Su had come to his side without him noticing, "How can you get better quickly when you have so many things in your head?"

Ying Chenlin was slightly stunned.

"That's right. Why think so much?" Zhao Lejie said excitedly while sitting in a wheelchair, "You don't know what a big deal we have done, do you? The energy crystal we risked our lives to get back is so valuable. I heard from Lao Zhang that many leaders have come to the starship in the past few days."

In order to facilitate the recuperation of the wounded, Dawn's starship flew very slowly and is still sailing in the third star field.

"Even if I don't get the quota this time, that one energy crystal is worth five years of Shuguang's development."

Qi Sicheng smiled and said, "You are right to be sensitive."

The new energy brought by the special transformation power of the supernatural crystals of the blue heart pollutants is very likely to cause a new energy revolution in the Star Alliance. The impact of this revolution is enormous. The Dawn Galaxy, which owns the supernatural crystals, has now become a hot spot for all major star regions. In just these few days, more and more people have rushed to cooperate.

While they were talking, the door of the medical room was opened.

Li Jingyan and several base leaders walked in. Seeing the lively mecha master, they smiled and said, "It's the middle of the night, and you're still energetic?"

"Chairman is here? We were just talking about how Shuguang will develop in the future." Ji Qingfeng said in a familiar manner, "The energy crystals we snatched back this time will be very useful, right?"

When Li Jingyan was fighting for the opportunity for them to participate in the Star Alliance mission, he never thought that there would be such a result today. His ideal result was to use this Star Alliance mission to give the Dawn Mecha Division more room. It would be a good thing to get a high ranking. Even if they could not get a high ranking, as long as they had seen strong mecha divisions from the outside world, it would be of great help to their future growth.

As a result, this group of young people who were unaware of the danger brought unprecedented vitality to Shuguang.

Li Jingyan had many words of gratitude he wanted to say to these young people. Without their adventure, Shuguang would not have such an opportunity, let alone the right to negotiate openly with other star fields and galaxies. These opportunities were fought for by these young people. As their elder, he had no reason not to fight for more for them.

"We haven't told you about the progress of the Star Alliance mission sealing." Li Jingyan said. ◥This◥work◥is◥made◥by◥

"I know it's definitely the last one." Zhao Lejie said, "It's okay, Chairman. This is our first time participating and we have no experience. We will definitely help Shuguang get the most places next time."

Li Jingyan said: "It's not a countdown."

The mecha masters were stunned. How could it not be a countdown? They had wasted so much time looting things in the snowy mountains.

Li Jingyan placed the data board in front of them, with the progress of the sealed Star Alliance mission displayed on it. The original ranking of the Dawn Galaxy was indeed the worst among the five galaxies in the First Star Region. They remembered that the progress before sealing was around 40th, but now the number of places displayed above the sealed progress is 20th. While they were desperately advancing underground, their ranking had actually risen so much.

"This data--" Wen was also surprised.

"According to the judgment of the Star Alliance Mission Chief Commander Wei Changyang, Team No. 125 has completed the special exploration mission of the Slared Snow Mountain. The score of this mission is 800 points." Li Jingyan smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are ranked third among the five star systems in the First Star Region."

All the mecha masters were ecstatic after being shocked. Zhao Lejie almost jumped up in his wheelchair: "What the hell!? We've done it!?"

Ji Qingfeng reacted: "Wait... How many places can we get out of 20? Are there 3 places? Can all four of our teams go?"

The captains of the three teams showed a hint of surprise on their faces; this result was beyond their expectations.

"There are more than four places." Li Jingyan looked at this group of lively young people with a little more enthusiasm in his eyes. "The places for the Star Domain Competition are originally decided by the First Star Domain. It was originally allocated based on the performance of the Star Alliance mission and the ranking... What you have won for the First Star Domain this time is not only the ranking of the Star Alliance mission, but most importantly, you have taken back the supernatural crystal."

"In this Star Region Tournament, we, Shuguang, can participate in the Star Region Tournament with full quota."

The author has something to say:

I'm already trying to adjust my work and rest schedule! Thank you for your concern!

I got up very early in the morning and finished writing today's update in advance! (In very good condition)

I have something to do and need to go out in the evening, so I won't update today. I will write to you tomorrow.
