Chapter 32

Rush straight in... ?

The mecha technicians in the room were all looking at Ying Chenlin, is he crazy? ?

“……”It’s better not to ask!

Zhao Lejie was about to speak when he suddenly heard laughter from the side.

The man was leaning against the inner wall pillar, and only his profile could be seen from this perspective. Zhao Lejie's attention was originally on Ying Chenlin, but now seeing this profile, he suddenly felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

You Su smiled and said, "Okay, how do you want to charge?"

Zhao Lejie: ​​“…”

Okay, it was his illusion, he definitely didn't know this person.

Hearing You Su's response, the mecha master next to him looked at him in confusion. How come someone agreed with this idea? Some people were about to open their mouths to refute, but the people next to them, KID, began to respond one by one.

Huo Yan thought about it and nodded, "Anyway, we can just come here to recharge when the energy runs out. There are many mecha masters here, so maybe it can work."

Lin Yao: "What are you afraid of? Aren't they just a few little golden scorpions?"

Ji Qingfeng: "Being reckless is unacceptable, but making money is acceptable."

After listening to this, Lu Xi also nodded.

Mecha operators: “……???” Are you serious?

Zhao Lejie suddenly realized that it was not surprising to get this answer from KID.

After all, the Centella asiatica has been killed, the golden scorpion has been slaughtered, what else is missing?

Huo Yan seemed to have agreed with this plan, and then looked at Ying Chenlin and asked, "How do we charge?"

"Divide into two teams, one for cover, and one to go in and restore the base." Ying Chenlin walked to the console and directly pulled up the map near base site C. "We are in the secondary defense zone, southwest of the tower, no more than 3 kilometers away. The fastest way to open it up is in a straight line."

"No matter how strong the lower-level driving ability of the high-level pollutants is, it still takes time for them to gather pollutants." Ying Chenlin explained: "We have cleared out a group of golden scorpions not long ago, and the number of pollutants in this area has been reduced. If we don't attack now, will we give it time to gather pollutants?"

Before, Ying Chenlin had observed the situation near the base station towers, where there were unknown S-level pollutants and countless A or B-level pollutants.

The most difficult part of the problem lies in the attack of strong winds and pollutants. The base station tower has activated its defense system, and the mecha can only enter the tower through the only entrance, and now the only entrance is full of dangerous pollutants.

The impact range of the S-level pollutant Welwitschia exceeds ten kilometers. Now that the threat of quicksand has been eliminated, the only difficulty in moving forward is the headwind.

The biggest hesitation for the mecha masters is the threat of the number of pollutants and the unknown risks. After all, there are S-level pollutants lurking around, which does pose a potential threat.

Huo Yan was puzzled: "Is it feasible?"

"It will be feasible if there is sufficient energy." Ying Chenlin said.

The mecha masters felt that the offensive and defensive strategies they had just discussed were all useless, and this group of people had already begun discussing the most direct and straightforward method.

One team will lead the way and charge all the way, and everything will be done once they get into the tower.

A mecha master stood up and said, "Brother Ying, although we have 14 mechas, their combat effectiveness may not be enough."

Ying Chenlin looked at him, "What kind of mechas are you all using?"

The mecha master quickly released the mecha lineup, including KID and Zhao Lejie, a total of 14 mechas.

Among them, there are 5 tank mechas, 3 guards, 3 control, 2 guns and 1 stealth.

A typical front row type that is strong enough but lacks output.

Zhao Lejie frowned when he saw this lineup and said, "Besides the Golden Scorpions, there are other types of pollutants nearby. We have enough front-line troops, but we can't deal with pollutants that use long-range attacks. Our long-range attack capabilities are too weak."

"Then let the tanks charge." Ying Chenlin didn't think there was anything wrong with this lineup. "More tanks are a good thing."

Zhao Lejie: ​​"Good news?"

Ying Chenlin asked doubtfully, "Do you think that the protective shields of so many tank mechas can't last more than 10 minutes in the pollutants?"

The tank mecha master next to him saw this and said in confusion: "We can hold on, but..."

"That's all." Ying Chenlin looked slightly out of the window of the control room. It was already dark outside. $

Huo Yan laughed twice: "It's okay, if we fail, we will go back to the base station for supplies. There is plenty of energy now."

Lin Yao: "Yeah, if you can't beat them, just run away. It's that simple."

The other mecha masters listened for a while, and were infected by KID's relaxed atmosphere. They suddenly felt that the problem didn't seem to be a big deal.

You Su asked: "So, what is your plan?"

Ying Chenlin walked to the window, pointed at the sky outside and said, "The night on Tianyu Star is very short. There are only four hours of darkness in a day, and now half an hour of darkness has passed."

Zhao Lejie had a bad feeling.

Ying Chenlin continued: "At night, light and energy are the biggest sources of temptation."

-*

The strangeness of the pollution area of ​​Tianyu Star is gradually deepening.

The mecha warriors who entered the contaminated area of ​​Tianyu Star were divided into three groups by the strong wind.

In the secondary defense zone located in another part of the base station tower, YDS leader Colin led the remaining mecha divisions and decided to make a specific plan to rush directly to the base station tower. "There is a closer defense zone near the base station tower. We can't just sit here and wait for death. Our goal is to go to that defense zone first, rest in this area, and then launch an attack on the base station tower."

After Colin gave his instructions, the others immediately prepared to set off. "Qi Sicheng's team should also go to this defense zone. We don't have time to waste here. The secondary defense zone cannot restore the signal. We can only go to the base station tower."

The mecha masters responded one by one, and the team was ready to go.

In the desert ruins, Qi Sicheng and Hu Luobu followed the traces of death of the pollutants all the way west, and encountered another wave of gathered pollutants. This time the pollutants were the A-level pollutants sand snakes that are common in the polluted area of ​​Tianyu Star. This type of pollutant has a very strong strangling ability. They did not fight and chose to get rid of the pollutants.

"We can't go on like this," Huluobu said. "This area is completely in chaos. The closer we get to the tower, the more pollutants we encounter."

It was an unreasonable and strange environment. They had not encountered many pollutants before, but now they could encounter a group of them almost every two minutes of flying, as if the pollutants in this area were gathering around the base station tower.

As night falls, the tower in the distance becomes brighter.

Qi Sicheng frowned and said, "This is not a simple subordinate command."

Hu Luobu hesitated and said, "The suspected target, Bai Sui Lan, is dead. What other pollutants in the Tianyu Star Pollution Zone can be upgraded to S-level? Moreover, the ability of this pollutant is too strange. We don't have any intelligence at all now, which makes us passive."

Qi Sicheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Attraction."

As soon as Hu Luobu paused, he immediately followed his train of thought and said, "You mean to say that the gathering of pollutants is not caused by the lower-level driving of high-level pollutants, but the special power of pollutants...?"

"Check it out!" Qi Sicheng responded, "Is there any pollutant in the polluted area of ​​Tianyu Star that has the properties of seduction and charm?"

They had all the information about Tianyu Star. Hu Luobu opened the information without hesitation and began to search. After about five seconds, he immediately said, "Yes, there is a Class B pollutant, the mutated opium poppy. This pollutant grows in the only oasis in the sandy ruins. The nearest growing place is nearly 500 kilometers away from us. No! There is another place. There is an isolation room for plant pollutants inside the base station tower."

He then added: "But something is wrong. This pollutant is only Class B. It is impossible for it to evolve into an S-class pollution source in such a short period of time, let alone attract so many pollutants."

Qi Sicheng didn't figure it out either, but if he wanted to know the situation, he had to go to the base station tower.

After flying for a while, he saw another glowing building ahead. "What is that place?"

A mecha master came out and said, "Captain Qi, there is another defense area of ​​the tower ahead. That defense area is closest to the tower. Maybe we can connect to the tower from there."

Qi Sicheng made a prompt decision, "Let's go directly there."

At this moment, they suddenly saw several extra spots of light appearing high up in the building.

"What is that!?"

"It looks like a mecha?!"

Hulubu hit immediately

With the sniper scope on, he could clearly see the situation above the secondary defense zone in the distance. He could see a dozen mechas of different colors, with a faint hint of a special blue. "That's a mecha in front! It's another mecha division! We found someone!"

Qi Sicheng: "Send them a communication establishment request immediately."

"Wait! Captain Qi!"

"They flew away!"

Another mecha master who was observing asked in confusion: "It seems like all of them are rushing towards the base station tower."

Hu Luobu opened his eyes wide: "What are they doing?"

Qi Sicheng immediately increased the power of the thrusters, "Follow them!"

As the night deepened, in the sandy ruins at night, the headwind carried the sand, and the protective circle of the tower lit up with dots of fluorescence in the defense layer, becoming clearer and clearer. As soon as the flying mecha left the defense zone, the surrounding pollutants seemed to have smelled the scent of prey, and their eyes glowed like hungry wolves in the darkness.

Two kilometers away from the base tower, dense pollutants glowed brightly at night.

The flying sand crows rushed towards the high-speed flying mecha. The strong impact force forced the mecha to slow down. The pollutants on the ground jumped from the ground, biting the mechanical edges of the mecha one by one, and climbed up like hunters.

In the 14 mechas that set out from the secondary defense zone, the voices of several people were intertwined in the temporary collective team channel.

Lin Yao: "Wow, as expected, when we go out at night, all these pollutants are coming towards us."

Zhao Lejie: ​​"Of course, you don't even think about how big our current goal is."

Before the operation, they only made a brief plan and divided themselves into two teams, mobile and assault, with seven people in each team.

Among them, the lineup of the mobile team is quite special, with 5 tank mechas and 2 control mechas.

Seeing more and more pollutants, one of the tank mecha divisions asked: "I know that the mobile team is a bit risky, and arranging more tanks can increase protection, but your commando team doesn't bring any tanks. Is that okay?"

"No problem." Ying Chenlin said.

More and more pollutants gathered around them, and the exposed energy and mental power of the mechas were very attractive to them.

The flying pollutants and strong winds hampered their progress. Huo Yan said, "It's hard to move forward now. We must clear the road ahead, otherwise our mechas won't be able to reach the entrance."

Since they couldn't move forward, they could only implement their plan.

Several tank mechas were about to clear the way. The commanding mecha division of the mobile team said, "Okay, everyone in the mobile team, listen to my orders. We will go to the 2 o'clock direction--"

Before he could finish his words, another voice suddenly rang out in the communication channel: "No need to go to 2 o'clock, just stay where you are."

Command: "Stand still???"

Ying Chenlin glanced at the distance. It was still 1 kilometer away from the base station tower. "Mobile team tank mecha, open the protective shield."

Zhao Lejie: ​​“……?”

What familiar instruction is this?

Ying Chenlin continued: "The energy threshold is 30%."

The tank mecha divisions just opened the protective shield: "30%?!"

"Yes." Seeing that the tank mechas had opened their protective shields, Ying Chenlin retreated a few steps in his mecha and said, "The rest of us should retreat a hundred meters to avoid being affected."

The others were confused, so Ji Qingfeng explained, "Oh, I told you to retreat, so just retreat. It would be bad if you get affected."

You Su simply flew to the back and saw that KID and others had moved. The other mecha warriors also followed suit, leaving only a few tank mechas with protective shields parked at the front of the team.

The back of the tank was empty, and it inexplicably felt a bit desolate and cold.

"Wait?" One of the tank mecha divisions asked in confusion, "We are opening the cover, shouldn't you hide in our cover?"

Not long after he finished speaking, the pollutants below suddenly rioted and madly crashed into the protective shield of the tank mecha.

The five tank mechas were flashing the brightest light in the dark night. The tank mechas with their protective shields turned on were already emitting energy. The attraction of energy, coupled with the popping flash effects, made the surrounding pollutants noticeable to anyone with eyesight. They flew towards the protective shields of the tank mechas like moths to a flame.

tank:"!!!"

In the communication channel, the voices of different mecha operators rose and fell.

"Stay away from Zhao Lejie, why does he have so many followers!"

"Oh my god! How come all the pollutants are going to them?"

The remaining mecha divisions finally reacted. No wonder five tanks were placed in the mobile team. If the purpose of the commando team was to lure out pollutants, then this 30% energy protective shield would definitely be the most eye-catching target in the dark.

Lin Yao: “More and more!”

Ji Qingfeng looked into the distance and asked, "Have all the pollutants from the entire Tianyu Star arrived?"

"Oh my god, this is the first time I know that the hatred of the tank mecha is so strong!"

"This is a great way to lure people in! The protective shield is resistant to damage, so it's perfect for pulling in pollutants!"

"Let's turn down the energy output a little bit."

Tank mechas: “???”

Ying Chenlin paid attention to the movement of the surrounding pollutants and said, "The energy can be a little stronger. It doesn't seem bright enough."

Tanks: "?!! This needs to be brighter?"

"The night is short, and pollutants farther away move more slowly, so they may not be attractive enough. Simply deploying the protective shield can only attract the attention of surrounding pollutants. If we want to expand the impact, we can only enhance the visual effect." Ying Chenlin explained simply: "These are all animal pollutants, and they have eyes."

"Want to make it more obvious?" Huo Yan was in the pollutant pile. When he heard Ying Chenlin say this, he suggested, "That's easy. Use energy strobe."

Huo Yan then demonstrated it. The light source on the surface of the energy shield flashed rapidly under his operation. "By quickly operating it, the brightness can be changed. Is this obvious enough?"

Ji Qingfeng gave the mecha a thumbs up in admiration: "Awesome, Lao Huo, you are definitely the brightest one among them."

Huo Yan laughed out loud: "This is how our tank mecha divisions practice their quick reactions to opening shields and shields. Everyone knows how to do it."

Other tanks: "..."

Zhao Lejie: ​​"Brother, do you remember that you are a tank mecha???"

In the distance, the team led by Qi Sicheng followed closely behind the group of mechas.

There were only five of them, all excellent mecha technicians from Jifeng and YDS, but the environment at night was more dangerous than they expected because of the noise caused by the mecha technicians in front, making all the pollutants more excited.

"Damn it, it's the sand jays, they are more aggressive at night."

“Why do I feel like there are more pollutants here!?”

"The mechas are too obvious. They are all coming towards us."

Qi Sicheng frowned slightly. Now is the worst time for a breakthrough operation at night. No matter how good a person's five senses are, they are not as sharp as the pollutants in the sand these days. Operating at night will only increase the difficulty for the mecha master and apprentice, and the vision will not be as clear as during the day.

Hu Luobu frowned and said, "They are being too conspicuous! They dispatched so many mechas. Are they afraid that the pollutants don't know they are here?"

Just as he finished speaking, a few protective shields with flashing blue light suddenly lit up in the pile of mechas that were marching in the distance. It seemed as if they had free energy. As if they were afraid that the pollutants around them would not know about them, they started flashing their shields one by one. The frequency of the flashing was even more exaggerated than the choreography of a Star Network concert.

The mecha master in the channel fell silent.

Qi Sicheng also fell silent.

Hu Luobu's eyes widened. "Are they crazy?! Twinkle, twinkle little star?"

Several shining tank mechas failed to stop. They burned the most energy and became the most eye-catching light in the dark night.

The other mecha teammates stayed far away from them, lowered their energy consumption, watched them being surrounded by pollutants, and discussed excitedly.

Several tank mecha divisions in the channel had mixed feelings.

When they heard about the lure plan at the base, Ying Chenlin said that they should be the main vanguard to lure out the pollutants and create opportunities for other mecha divisions to break through. This was not a big deal, because the original plan included mobile teams and assault teams, and they were at most the front vanguards of the mobile team. Who knew it would be such a lure.

Especially with the protective shield on and the flashing special effects, they had never driven such a miserable tank mecha in their lives. The tank mecha should be invincible on the field, not be a light bulb in the air on the sand!

Ji Qingfeng asked curiously: "Old Zhao, is your energy too low?"

Zhao Lejie said angrily: "If you have the ability, come and do the strobe, won't your hands get sore?"

Lin Yao said, "Oh, Dafeng can't do that. He has first-rate hand speed, right, Dafeng?"

Ji Qingfeng: “…”

Zhao Lejie: ​​“…”

The other mecha masters were paying attention to the situation around them. Seeing that more and more pollutants were coming, Ying Chenlin said, "The time is almost right. You should pull all the pollutants away. Fly with the protective shield on and pull them away from the base station tower."

Lin Yao said: "Fly outwards, don't block our way."

Tanks: “…”

It would be fine if they were just light bulbs, but they were actually asked to fly with a protective shield on? ? ?

After the other mechas reduced energy leakage, most of the surrounding pollutants were rushed away by the five tank mechas with more powerful energy and larger targets. The dark shadows moved quickly, and the remaining two control mechas of the mobile team provided cover for the tank mechas. After a while, as the tank mechas flew out, a flaw appeared in the dense piles of pollutants on the sandy ruins.

Ying Chenlin adjusted the energy of the thrusters and headed in that direction without hesitation, "Go around to the 10 o'clock direction."

The other mecha divisions in the communication channel followed closely behind. Without the tank mecha, the mechas that led the way became the remaining three guard mechas.

Lin Yao rushed to the front and cleared a path with his long sword, "Come to my side!"

The guard mechas rushed forward in one fell swoop, cutting a bloody path with their melee weapons.

The large amount of pollutants has been taken away, and the remaining pollutants are not a big deal.

The number of flying sand crows in the air also decreased. The other mechas of the commando team followed closely behind the three guard mechas and moved quickly towards the base tower.

The distance gradually narrowed. The tank mechas did not go around, but attracted the attention of the pollutants from the flank. Seeing that more and more pollutants were gathering, they could only fly out little by little.

Huo Yan: "After attracting the pollutants, where will it fly to?"

You Su said calmly: "Fly to the defense zone. If the energy is exhausted, you can recharge it there."

Huo Yan was very satisfied with this arrangement: "Okay, we will withdraw now."

Tanks: “???”

You are undercover! So obedient!

As the distance decreases, the tall tower of base station point C is right in front of us.

The mecha masters did not expect that using such a simple and crude strategy in the dark could actually open up a relatively simple assault route. They almost closely followed behind the guards' mechas. In addition to the guards' melee weapons, they reduced their energy output as much as possible until they reached 500 meters outside the tower.

The tank mechas have already taken away most of the pollutants for them, and they have to deal with the pollutants in front of the tower gate by themselves.

"We, the guards, will clear the way for you." The guard mecha master said, and immediately opened a protective shield. The weapons he carried were a lightsaber and a protective shield, which made him a semi-tank. He said, "Make sure to send two people in first!"

The defensive aperture protects the buildings inside the tower. Apart from the pollutants spread all over the outside, the entire tower looks normal. But Ying Chenlin always had a strange feeling, as if the S-level pollutant that had not yet appeared was nearby.

Ji Qingfeng's stealth mecha was like a fish in water in the dark: "It can be flushed. There are not many pollutants at the entrance."

At this time, Ying Chenlin decisively fired the thunder and magnetic cannon. The suddenly increased energy threshold attracted the attention of the surrounding pollutants: "The others provide cover, Ji Qingfeng, you go charge the tower!"

The thunderbolt cannon exploded in the dark night, and the energy behind the light

It hit the sand with a bang, immediately creating a huge pit.

You Su quickly switched weapons, recharged and fired another shot, and the pollutant instantly looked in his direction.

The roaring flames intertwined, and Ji Qingfeng shuttled through the artillery fire, saying as he ran: "Can you pay more attention to the accuracy of your artillery!"

Just as he finished speaking, a sniper shell passed over Ji Qingfeng's head and blasted away the pollutants in front of him.

You Su: "Your mecha is driving so slowly?"

Ji Qingfeng: "...If you fly too fast and your energy is too obvious, you'll be exposed!"

You Su said: "I'll give you a ride. Turn off the stabilizer and keep an eye on the direction."

Ji Qingfeng: “???”

He was still wondering what part of the "send you a journey" meant when he noticed that You Su's 50% charged energy cannon exploded behind him. The wind created by the shock wave pushed his mecha forward, and it flew out with a bang like a beautiful landscape in the dark night.

Lin Yao looked up and exclaimed: "Wow."

Ji Qingfeng: "I'll go!!!"

This flight knocked away a dozen sand crows, and the entire machine flew straight forward, almost falling in front of the base's tower.

In the air, Zhao Lejie, who was pulling a bunch of pollutants, looked back and saw the energy cannon exploding in the air. He was about to speak but held it back. KID and his gang are a bunch of ruthless people. They are happy to use tanks to transport pollutants and they point guns at their own people without mercy.

Huo Yan ran towards the defense zone with the pollutants, and suddenly saw a light in the distance, "Hey, is there anyone ahead?"

Zhao Lejie was startled when he heard this, and made a rough judgment: "It seems to be a mecha!?"

Not far away, Qi Sicheng and his group, who were following the mecha group, suddenly noticed that the flashing light bulbs seemed to be getting closer and closer to them. The light bulbs were flying very fast, and the flashing of the protective shield became more and more obvious. The mecha master in the channel suddenly became happy and said in succession -

"Have they noticed us?"

"Hurry up and send them a communication! Can't they receive it at such a close distance?"

"Oh my god, this shield is too bright!? Does the tank's shield flash so often?"

Qi Sicheng frowned: "What's going on?"

Hu Luobu felt something was not good and quickly opened the sniper scope. He saw those big light bulbs and a dark mass following them, like thousands of troops galloping towards them, getting closer and closer to them.

At this time, the short-range communication was connected, and the cheerful voice of Huo Yan, who was flying in the front, appeared in the channel: "Hi, good evening! Who is this, brother?"

Hu Luobu: "..."

Hi your sister!

The author has something to say:

Xiao Ying: The tank drove forward with full speed.

Tank Undercover Huo: Ok, no problem, add a strobe.

Brother You: Move away.

Tank undercover Huo turned his head and asked: Is there anyone in front?

Zhao Lejie (identifying carefully): It seems so.

Huo Yan: Hi, good evening, we are here.

Qi Sicheng: ...

Hu Luobu: Don’t come, I beg you to go away!

See you tomorrow~
