Chapter 28

Chapter 28

In the secondary defense area 6 kilometers away from the Welwitschia, the mecha technicians in the control room captured new signals in the detection system.

The mecha master said: "The fluctuations of the pollutant Welwitschia have disappeared."

There were only a few mecha masters left in the control room. YDS leader Colin walked over to the detection system and asked, "Is the fluctuation gone? Can the image still capture it?"

"There's nothing we can do. The monitoring system over there during the game should have been damaged by external forces, so we can't confirm the image." The mecha master looked worried. From the time they first captured that image until now, they have only seen Zhao Lejie being beaten, and have not received any more intelligence. In the end, Qi Sicheng could only take a few mecha masters to form a team to rescue people.

A mecha master nearby asked worriedly, "Can the deputy captain hold on until we can rescue him?"

"What depressing words!"

"The deputy captain is blessed with good fortune!"

"Yeah, the pollution fluctuations are gone!"

Colin stood nearby, staring at the test data with a serious look.

There is no way that fluctuations in mutated pollutants will disappear without cause.

The Welwitschia is the core reason they have identified as the cause of the changes in area C of the base station. There is only one possibility for its sudden disappearance: the Welwitschia has been eradicated.

Soon someone came in to report the situation, "Captain Ke, the quicksand outside seems to have disappeared. We may be able to lead the main force directly to base site C."

Colin looked out through the perspective window of the secondary defense area. The strong wind was still there, but the sand outside had become calmer.

But if the Welwitschia disappears, who will eradicate it? ? According to the data, as a pollutant, the Welwitschia has not shown any unusual movement in the polluted area for so many years, so the management bureau allowed it to grow near base station C for observation. However, it is a pollutant with a pollution value reaching the S-level report, and it is impossible for Zhao Lejie to solve it alone.

Who is Zhao Lejie working with to deal with the Welwitschia?

Ke Lin suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard that a team was coming to support before he came in. "Are the only ones entering the Tianyu Star base YDS and Jifeng?"

"More than that." A mecha master explained: "Before I came here, I heard from the staff of the Administration that there seemed to be KID's mecha masters coming in as well."

KID? Kelin's team had played against KID last season, and KID's battle rhythm was a mess at that time. "Who is the mecha division that came in?"

"I'm not sure about that." said the mecha master.

Colin looked at the detection system. Was this kind of pollutant really solved by KID?

At this time, the mecha master in charge of the inspection said again: "There is a very strange thing. The fluctuation of the high-level pollutant has disappeared, but the pollution value around base station C has not changed."

"No changes?" Colin thought of the first mission request he received. After the vanguard team's mecha division restored the functions of base stations A and B, problems arose at point C. Point C seemed to be the source of all problems.

He suddenly thought of something, "Can I still contact Qi Sicheng?"

Others said: "No, the signal here is very strange. We can no longer communicate beyond a certain range."

Colin looked serious. "We seem to be surrounded by something. There is more than one pollutant in this area."

-

Sizzle—sizzle—

It seemed like someone was talking in the communication signal.

Ying Chenlin struggled in the sand for a while, and then a giant mechanical hand pushed away the sand, and the blurry vision in front of him gradually became clear.

You Su said: "Left hand."

Ying Chenlin did not hesitate and climbed out of the sand with the help of the other person.

The surrounding environment has changed. He is no longer in the original location where he was clearing out the Welwitschia, but has been blown to another place by the sandstorm.

Ying Chenlin first checked the programs inside the mecha. The system that was originally disturbed did not recover, and even the positioning system inside the mecha became intermittent. The light spot representing the teammate's mecha flashed several times and then disappeared, and there was no update.

All communication and range detection tools have failed.

Eradicating the Welwitschia not only failed to resolve the situation, but made some conditions worse.

"We got separated from the others." You Su stood on the sand. After pulling Ying Chenlin up, he looked around and said, "It seems that the centenarian orchid is not the main cause."

"There is more than one pollutant." Ying Chenlin confirmed this. After all, the Welwitschia was just a pollutant with a pollution value of 6800. If it wanted to affect all signal communications in such a large area, the strength of this pollutant must be far greater than that of the Welwitschia.

Ever since being blown by the wind to the vicinity of base site C, Ying Chenlin always had a strange feeling, as if they had entered a monster's territory, an area completely isolated from the outside world.

Things seem to be a little troublesome.

Ying Chenlin looked through the information and did not find any corresponding pollutant targets in the polluted area of ​​Tianyu Star. The target that best matched his speculation was the Welwitschia orchid. If it was not the Welwitschia orchid, would some kind of pollutant appear out of thin air in the polluted area of ​​Tianyu Star?

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a soreness in his right arm, similar to the feeling he had when he overused his right hand in the Banut contaminated area. It seems that he should avoid using his right hand as much as possible in the next period of time to avoid other problems.

Without Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao, the communication channel seemed too quiet.

Ying Chenlin disconnected the connecting nerves on his right hand and looked at the gunnery mecha next to him. All his understanding of this gunnery mecha master came from his initial impression in the file. The skills this man had demonstrated in the recent battle were far superior to what he had shown in the Banut contaminated area.

After joining the team early that morning, he checked some trace information. ▲This work is produced by

The core output position of the team battle mecha is the gunner mecha. In short, if the gunner mecha is not strong enough, it will easily drag down the rhythm of the entire team. He had watched some of KID's past game videos, in which the output of the gunnery mechas in the back row was completely inconsistent with the rhythm of the front row, resulting in a serious disconnect.

When dealing with the Welwitschia just now, You Su's combat reaction was crucial. When the Welwitschia's quicksand changed, he would choose to disperse the sand tornado as soon as possible. This was not recklessness, but he had more experience than others.

A mecha master with top-notch combat experience and physical fitness.

You Su didn't hear Ying Chenlin's voice, so he asked, "Why aren't you talking?"

Ying Chenlin suddenly said: "You are very healthy."

You Su paused for a moment: "And then?"

Ying Chenlin said in a normal tone: "It's very enviable."

With a healthy body without hidden dangers and years of combat memory, he is naturally suitable for driving mecha.

"Kid, how old are you?" You Su asked.

Ying Chenlin said: "Now 18."

"18?" You Su said as he adjusted the parameters inside the mecha, "18 years old, the mecha driving level is close to the professional level, the main job is a junior maintenance technician, and the performance of the group battle mecha is very clear. When did you start to touch the mecha?"

Clearly know how the performance and energy output of the mecha can be maximized by sticking to the edge position.

This is not something that an ordinary maintenance technician can do. Every operation in a mecha battle needs to be controlled by a mecha technician, who needs rich combat skills. He can combine combat skills with theoretical knowledge to mobilize the coordination of the mecha in different situations and maximize benefits.

This kind of person is either a mecha operator with more than ten years of driving experience, or someone who is deeply familiar with mechas.

Obviously Ying Chenlin is not the former, but he is only 18 years old.

Ying Chenlin was silent for a while, then replied, "I can't remember clearly."

Can’t remember… ?

You Su glanced sideways slightly. He couldn't see the other person's expression through the mecha. After he adjusted the mecha's parameters, he noticed that the thunder and magnetic cannon mounted on the right hand of the mecha was hanging on the ground, and the mecha operator did not move.

He thought of the battle not long ago, and the opponent's high-intensity right hand, "What's wrong with the hand?"

Ying Chenlin paused for a moment and explained, "Sour."

You Su frowned slightly, "Disconnect the connected nerves first."

"Broken." Ying Chenlin tried to relax his right hand as much as possible. He asked the question in his mind: "Why do others say you are a mad dog?"

As soon as the question was asked, You Su raised the angle of his sniper cannon and aimed it in the direction of Ying Chenlin. The energy was accumulated at the core position, and the energy wave that unfolded brought a great sense of deterrence.

Ying Chenlin didn't move, and You Su didn't let go.

"Are you scared?" You Suo's guns moved down step by step, and finally stopped at the core position of the Guardian Mech. Behind the armor plate was the cockpit where the mech master was. "Your teammates are behind you, and they are sending 70%-powered sniper cannons towards your core position. Just one shot can blow open your outer plate."

Ying Chenlin: "Have you ever blasted anyone?"

"It exploded." You Su said in a relaxed tone: "The exterior panel was cracked."

Ying Chenlin said, "So you came to KID to blast other mechas?"

"You can't say that on the field." You Su found the way this kid spoke a little funny. "Shen Xingtang promised me to come to KID to play in the league, and if the spoils are offensive energy crystals, he will give me priority."

He looked at the vast sandy ruins and said, "I'm not interested in playing in the league, but I'm interested in the supernatural crystals."

S-level offensive energy crystal?

Ying Chenlin said: "You

You often go in and out of contaminated areas, but you still can’t find it? ”

You Su suddenly felt that this kid also had a naive side, "Do you think it's that easy to find an offensive S-level supernatural crystal?"

Ying Chenlin didn't know how to answer. He had picked one up not long ago.

On the contrary, he wanted A-level mutated offensive special materials, but he had never encountered one so far.

You Su’s mecha... he remembered it was an S-class mecha.

If S-level energy crystal is needed, it can only be that the weapon core of the Yousui Mecha is broken.

"The core of the weapon, is it a sniper cannon?" Ying Chenlin asked.

Hearing this, You Su asked, "Why, do you want to help me fix it?"

Ying Chenlin was about to speak when he suddenly noticed something. There was something faintly visible in the wind and sand.

A tower in the distance gradually became clearer, and a defense circle was spread out in the wind and sand. The tower was glowing blue. He murmured, "Base Station C."

You Su looked in the direction he was pointing. "It seems like we are really lucky today."

"Not good news." Ying Chenlin looked at You Su: "Do you have enough energy?"

You Su: “There is still 50% left.”

50%, that's not enough.

Not to mention how long it will take to restore communication between Tianyu Star and the outside world, in this environment surrounded by pollutants, mecha energy is their last straw of protection. Ying Chenlin pondered for a while and came up with a solution, but before reaching the base station tower, the less energy they have, the more dangerous their situation will be.

It turns out that there are other teammates there, and cooperation can reduce energy loss.

But a sandstorm brought them to the vicinity of base site C.

"Ji Qingfeng and the others must have been blown to another location, not far from us." Ying Chenlin checked the interior of the mecha, "Before the radar failed, I noticed that they were in the northeast direction."

Northeast direction, the direction of base station C.

You Su said: "The premise is that we can leave."

Ying Chenlin was puzzled and looked in the direction You Su was looking. As a result, he saw dense black shadows appearing in front of them in the distance on the sand. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately found the pollutants from the information he had read, which were hundreds of mutated golden scorpions.

Class B pollutant Golden Scorpion.

In front of this pile of golden scorpions, there are two rapidly flying figures, and the red mecha patterns are particularly eye-catching.

You Su saw the details through the sniper scope, "KID's mecha."

The mechas in KID's base are all red. No matter whether they are racing-level mechas or A-level mechas, the outer patterns of the mechas are rendered with red patterns representing KID, which are exactly the same as the mechas on their bodies.

Something was wrong. The distance was close enough, but there was no sound of their voices on the communication channel.

Ying Chenlin: "It shouldn't be Ji Qingfeng and the others."

If it’s not Ji Qingfeng and the others, then who else is driving KID’s mecha?

Two names emerged in Ying Chenlin's mind. There were two other people besides them who could drive the mecha with the KID base logo.

The most important target of their mission to Tianyu Star is KID’s two missing mecha masters—Huo Yan and Lu Xi.

"Huo Yan." Ying Chenlin said suddenly.

Huo Yan, the current team captain of KID base, tank mecha division.

When You Su heard the name, he paused and said, "Him."

Ying Chenlin looked at You Su in confusion.

"I've met him a few times." You Su's tone was calm, without any extra emotion, and he said straightforwardly: "Before joining KID, he was a mecha division of the First Star Region's Dawn Galaxy Border Guard."

In a moment, two mechas came rushing over. The mecha in the front turned around and blocked, directly knocking the jumping mutant golden scorpion away with a shield.

Next to it was a mecha carrying two cannons, which followed the opponent's movements closely. When the shells were sent out, they exploded into a sticky stream of water, and the Golden Scorpion was pinned to the ground.

There were two mechas coming, one tank and one control.

The next second, a buzzing sound came from the nearby communication system. The unfamiliar male voice had a deep and broad sound, and it still sounded full of energy in the interference signal. "Hey, can you hear the communication, front?"

At this time, a weak female voice appeared in the mixed communication, "Brother Huo, your voice is too loud, it's breaking the microphone."

A strong male voice: "Really? Then I'll turn it down. I finally met a living person after yelling all the way."

Along with them came a bunch of mutated golden scorpions. The leading tank mecha landed immediately, and the shield weapon in its hand opened a protective shield on the spot, blocking all the golden scorpions. The man asked, "Why are you two staying where you are? Didn't you say you were going to wait for rescue near the tower?"

The girl noticed something, "Brother Huo, this seems to be the mecha from our base."

"People from our base?" The man finally reacted. He glanced at the two mechas and said, "Xu Yaojun and Xiaoyao? No, Xiaoyao is not very good at using artillery weapons."

In the internal communication channel, You Su and Ying Chenlin confirmed the identity of the visitor.

Follow the Vanguard Mecha Team to investigate the missing mecha division, the tank mecha division Huo Yan from KID, and the control mecha division Lu Xi.

But why did these two people suddenly appear in this place? Were there any other unexpected events when the vanguard team lost contact at the beginning? ?

You Su switched to the public communication and got straight to the point: "KID's Huo Yan?"

Huo Yan heard the voice and said in surprise: "It's us. Are you coming in with the rescue team from the Administration?"

"After you lost contact, the Administration notified three bases to carry out emergency rescue missions."

You Su explained: "There are four people from KID. We got separated from Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao. We are the third group to come in."

"I heard from the boss a few days ago that there are new people in the base? Is it you?" Huo Yan reacted and looked at the guard mecha next to him who was silent. "I only heard that there is a new maintenance technician. The boss didn't say that there are two mecha technicians."

Huo Yan was once a mechanized division commander of the border defense forces.

After You Su mentioned this, Ying Chenlin suddenly remembered an event in the past.

After he entered KID in his later life, he would always see some special people visiting the KID base for a few days a year. The people who came wore black military uniforms and had a very special temperament, a kind of weathered calmness.

At first he thought they were Shen Xingtang's friends, but later he found out that not all of them were.

Those people were holding bouquets of flowers and were visiting an old friend of KID.

Ying Chenlin once asked the old maintenance technicians in the maintenance room out of curiosity, and they mentioned this past event, saying that it was a mecha technician who had served in service with KID. After he disappeared in the accident, his younger generations would come to visit him every year, saying that they were asking for information, but in fact they were coming to visit a cenotaph without a body.

The old maintenance technician said that he didn’t know the man’s name, but he only remembered that the mecha technician used to be a soldier in the border guards.

The mecha master had a good personality and often took care of his juniors, so when he later disappeared due to an accident, his juniors would always come to KID to visit him during their holidays.

Ying Chenlin thought, could the accidental disappearance be the black hole incident in the archives?

That female mecha master Lu Xi... He looked at the control mecha beside him.

There was no time for them to communicate further about the situation, as a loud crash drew everyone's attention.

The golden scorpions pounced on the protective shield one after another, and the stingers on their tails pierced into the protective shield frantically.

Ying Chenlin raised his eyes and saw that both mechas were a little messy, and the outer panel of the tank mecha was also broken in several places. The mechas driven by these two people were spare mechas in the KID base. The original racing-level mechas were parked in the KID base for post-match repairs. They also brought the keys to the two racing-level mechas, but they were not here, but on Ji Qingfeng's side.

It has been two days since Huo Yan and Lu Xi came in, and their mechas have even less energy reserves.

The B-level mutated pollutant golden scorpion was originally a poisonous scorpion in the desert. After the mutation, the stingers connected to the venom sac on their tails carry neurotoxins. Generally speaking, the poisonous stingers cannot destroy the protective layer of the mecha, but with so many poisonous scorpions appearing at the same time, no matter how hard the outer layer of the mecha is, it cannot withstand long-term damage.

Once the protective layer of the mecha is destroyed, the mecha pilot will be in danger.

Inside the mecha are metal nerves that connect the mecha to the mecha pilot, and empathize with the mecha pilot. If the toxin seeps into the mecha, the mecha pilot will be in danger.

"I'll tell you later. Are you ready?" Huo Yan was ready to go, and then he continued with the next sentence easily: "We are going to run away."

Ying Chenlin was stunned: "Run away?"

Luxi repeated, "Yeah, run away."

Seeing that several people were ready, Huo Yan retracted his shield and used the powerful thrusters to leap upwards. Several people immediately flew up, and the scorpions on the ground were getting closer and closer.

"run!"

As the thrusters were turned on, several mechas began to fly against the strong wind, pulling a group of mutant golden scorpions, forming a beautiful landscape in the sand.

The mutated golden scorpion is larger than an ordinary scorpion. Even though it cannot fly, it can jump onto the mecha.

There are strong winds in the sandy ruins. Flying at low altitude can keep the body stable, but flying at high altitude will only cause the mecha to lose control.

This kind of scorpion generally does not pose much of a threat, but now they have consumed a lot of energy and have no other protective weapons except Huo Yan's shield.

The golden scorpions below spotted their prey, their eyes shining brightly, and they jumped directly from the sand to cling to the low-flying mechas, especially the gun mechas, the energy emitted by which was fatally attractive to them.

"We came out to search for other mechas. Several mechas of the vanguard team are currently out of contact." Huo Yan took this opportunity to explain: "We didn't expect to encounter this group of mutant scorpions. They stared at us for a long time and kept surrounding the base station."

The golden scorpions are very difficult to deal with. There are many of them and their defenses are extremely high. If you are not careful, you will be broken through by their repeated attacks.

The attack capabilities of Huo Yan and Lu Xi's mechas are average, and they can only drag these pollutants but are unable to launch an effective counterattack.

Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes slightly, and through his vision he could see the mutated golden scorpions crawling quickly below. They bit them accurately and kept following them. Pollutants that can normally be shaken off become somewhat difficult to shake off in an energy-poor and headwind-ridden sandy environment.

And these mutant golden scorpions...

You Su noticed that Ying Chenlin was flying behind, "What happened?"

"The B-level mutant golden scorpion is a pollutant that is unique to the polluted area of ​​​​Tianyu Star." Ying Chenlin narrated calmly: "It is very useful and very expensive."

Mutated golden scorpions are rarely seen in other polluted areas, and the price of their crystal cores remains high in the market.

Firstly, special materials can be extracted from its shell, which are often used to strengthen the outer armor of the mecha, making the outer armor of the mecha have a certain degree of toxic resistance... Secondly, its crystal core is highly conductive and can be used as a reinforcement for metal nerves to improve the basic precision conversion rate.

Poison is poison...but the whole body is a treasure.

You Su seemed to hear a hint of regret in the other person's voice, "And then?"

Ying Chenlin: "It's a pity to let them go."

You Su glanced at the golden scorpion crawling at high speed below him and sneered: "It's a pity——"

"Then don't put it away."

-

In the temporary lounge of the Tianyu Star Administration, Jiang Simiao carefully observed all the changes in the detection system. When he saw Shen Xingtang coming in, he immediately asked, "Has the Administration not restored the signal yet?"

"It can't be solved in a short time." Shen Xingtang's eyes darkened slightly. She was not worried about Ji Qingfeng and the others. Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao had played in the league and had been to high-risk pollution areas. Not to mention You Su, who was a ruthless man who treated the border pollution area as his home.

The only one left is Ying Chenlin... When she thought of this, her head started to hurt again.

Ying Chenlin is usually a very well-behaved kid, but who came up with the idea of ​​letting a maintenance engineer enter the contaminated area?

"I'm afraid Ji Qingfeng and the others will take Shen Lin to a dangerous place." Shen Xingtang was a little worried when he thought of this. "Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao are playful people, and there is also You Su who doesn't play by the rules. It doesn't matter to them, the mecha masters, but it would be bad if Shen Lin got hurt."

Jiang Simiao: "How many of them

I should know that I won’t go to any dangerous place. ”

Shen Xingtang felt a slight headache: "Let's talk about it later. I'll go to the control room to check. The situation on Tianyu Star is too strange."

There were various documents on the desk, but Shen Xingtang had no interest in looking at anything else.

"There's been a lot going on these past few days, take a rest, I'll let you know if there's any news."

Jiang Simiao handed her a blanket and said, "The temperature here is a bit low."

Shen Xingtang did not refuse. She half-lay on the lounge chair next to her and picked up the folder next to her.

There were a lot of documents in the folder. Before leaving, she took the information from the maintenance room. She thought she had time to work, but her rhythm was disrupted by this sudden situation.

"Let's take a rest first and put work aside." Jiang Simiao was halfway through his words when he suddenly saw Shen Xingtang sitting up straight.

Jiang Simiao was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"My folder has been touched." Shen Xingtang said.

Shen Xingtang frowned tightly and pulled out several sheets of draft paper mixed in the folder. This folder had been placed on the program table in the maintenance room, and it contained some temporary drafts that she often used. The extra sheets of draft paper on the program table had black engine oil on the corners, and the messy handwriting was obviously not hers.

At this time, the prototype of the weapon was roughly outlined on these draft papers, and some derivation formulas for the weapon materials were written next to it.

Jiang Simiao paused when he heard this, "Impossible, I have never left here, and I am sure no one has read this document."

If it wasn't someone from the Tianyu Star Administration who searched it, it could only be in KID's maintenance room.

Shen Xingtang looked at the draft more seriously: "...Ying Chenlin?"

The author has something to say:

Others in Hayate: Is the deputy captain still alive?

The trio blown away by the wind: …￥%#%#

Sister Tang: I’m afraid that others will take Shen Lin to a dangerous place.

Xiao Ying regretfully: Do you want to fight? It would be a pity to let it go.

Brother You didn’t think it was a big deal: Just don’t let it go.

Old Huo and Xi Mei who are obsessed with running away:?
