Chapter 377

Chapter 377

Outside the Leila contaminated area, the mecha division that was fighting was flying outwards. When they heard Ying Chenlin's voice on the communication channel, they suddenly stopped. Zhao Lejie held up the shield and asked in astonishment: "What do you mean? Not enough explosives? Didn't we calculate the maximum capacity?"

Before leaving the Leila Administration, they carefully checked all the energy bombs. The carrier of the largest energy bomb had been repeatedly calculated by Ying Chenlin, Qi Sicheng and others. It was loaded with the largest carrier machine in the warehouse. The amount of energy loaded was also the amount they calculated could be used to deal with the expanded cracks, but now this carrier was not enough.

Qi Sicheng's eyes darkened, and he immediately knew the problem. "We did make the biggest estimate, but the growth rate of this crack still exceeded our prediction. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to blow it up."

"We can only take other measures now." Huo Yan looked at the pollutants outside the crack in the distance, "Should we turn back and look for a larger carrier? If we can't explode at the same time, it will be difficult to blow up this crack."

The mecha masters were thinking, now they have the energy, but the amount for a single explosion is not enough.

They could only return to the Leila contaminated area and prepare large amounts of energy carriers again. If they stayed here to continue dealing with the pollutants, and if they saved energy and only relied on mechas to deal with the pollutants, the speed of the mechas' cleaning would hardly keep up with the speed of the pollutants' invasion. In the end, they consumed energy but failed to resolve the cracks.

The method proposed by Huo Yan was indeed the most labor-saving. After thinking about it, several team commanders prepared to implement it.

At this time, another voice came from Ying Chenlin who was on the docking platform. He calmly pulled down various tools on the docking platform and said, "We may not be able to go back."

As soon as he discovered that the crack was moving, Ying Chenlin asked Captain SLY to help record the direction in which the crack had moved over the past ten minutes. The spacecraft changed direction several times, but the front position of the crack did not change, indicating that the target of the crack was farther away.

"It is not floating aimlessly in space." Ying Chenlin sent the data collected by Captain SLY to the mecha divisions in battle. "It is now heading towards the interior of the Star Alliance, heading towards the Lyra contaminated area. The captain has made a statistics based on the direction it may be sailing."

"Sink is right." Captain SLY joined the channel: "Its target should not only be the Lyra contaminated area, but also the inhabited planets inside the Star Alliance. In other words, this rift knows very well where the largest energy reserves of the Star Alliance are. Its goal is to go to the interior of the Star Alliance with a more complete energy system."

There is a huge amount of energy on the Swift ship. If the crack moves according to the energy reaction, it should move towards the Swift ship.

But no, which means that the pollutants that manipulate the cracks are very purposeful, so strong that they can completely resist the temptation of energy and move closer to the inside.

Lin Yao: "This is like the war invasion I saw in movies and TV shows!"

"What an IQ!" Ji Qingfeng shouted, "Isn't this thing a little brother? How can a little brother have such a high IQ? How high is Kronos's IQ? Can he play strategy with humans!?"

Zhao Lejie was a little scared: "Isn't this an overestimation of pollutants?"

It's not a question of overestimation, but that they have very little information about this pollutant, and they know that the only safe way to solve it is to blow up the cracks. Ying Chenlin kept looking around. Apart from the energy bombs that the mecha masters had taken out to blow up the pollutants, all the remaining usable items were here. Was there any way to allow them to gain a higher level of survival in a short period of time?

The carrier of reserves.

Ying Chenlin's brain was working rapidly, and all the available equipment around him was within his sight.

What else - at this moment, he suddenly saw a key hanging high on the Gale Mooring Platform.

Ying Chenlin reacted immediately, yes, there is also this!

The pollutants in the distance were approaching the direction of the mecha masters again. The close-range supernatural power output made the mecha masters' scalps numb. They could only keep increasing the distance and retreating. The situation suddenly became a dilemma. Even the gun mechas that originally had the best range had to retreat from the range of the cracks.

But even though they retreated, no one had completely left the area, and the long-range mecha was still suppressing the direction of the crack.

The mecha's weapons had limited power and were completely unable to resist the crack that was slowly moving forward.

"Can't stop it." SLY Gun shouted.

Alice frowned as she looked at the growing crack and stood in front of the long-range mecha to provide cover.

You Su frowned tightly, the gun in his hand was still constantly shooting through the gaps of pollutants into the cracks behind. His eyes were judging the cracks surrounded by pollutants. He could now find the location of the core crack, but there was no solution. Finding the crack was of no use...

He was thinking about whether there was any other way to solve this problem when he suddenly heard a sudden loud noise coming from the communication channel. The source of the sound came from the external signal of the Swift Spacecraft - that was Ying Chenlin's signal.

"Ying Chenlin?" You Su glanced in the direction of the Swift Airship, "What are you doing!?"

On the docking platform of the Gale spacecraft, Ying Chenlin jumped down from the high point of the docking platform. The mechanical pliers in his hand just pried open a special assembly shell. The huge parts fell on the docking platform. Ying Chenlin looked up and shouted urgently: "A mecha will help! Captain, open the docking platform!"

Captain Hayate drove the spaceship backwards and opened the docking station, "Open it!"

"I'll do it." Colin, who was closest to the spacecraft, stepped back without hesitation. When he flashed to the parking surface of the Gale spacecraft, he saw Ying Chenlin standing in front of the carrier, holding a mechanical pliers in his hand and looking up at the carrier bomb high in the air.

As soon as Colin's mecha entered the docking station, the heat waves from the thrusters blew Ying Chenlin back several steps, but he did not stop and pointed to a large transport pipe taken out of the storage device towards Colin.

Seeing the tube, Colin immediately realized that this was the one Ji Qingfeng had used to get energy from the Leila Administration not long ago. "What do you want to do?"

"Reassemble the single energy source." Ying Chenlin gritted his teeth and disassembled the outer buckle of the carrier again: "Now our total energy is enough, but the single equipment is not enough. We just need to add more energy to the single carrier."

Qi Sicheng understood Ying Chenlin's meaning, but ordinary additions would not work at all. The items they chose as energy carriers all came from warehouses in the Leila contaminated area. The pressure bearing capacity of these mechanical carriers reached A, which meant that they could withstand the most basic external pressure and pollutant attacks, but these mechanical carriers were independent and could not be stacked together 1:1.

The tools they have are limited, and they cannot completely weld these things in a short period of time. Even if they use special methods to tie two special energy bombs together, they may be broken up by contaminants before they reach the crack, and the power cannot be delivered to the core point of the crack.

Alice had the same idea and asked first: "How do you want to increase the stakes?"

"Mecha." Ying Chenlin gritted his teeth and said, "How about using mecha as an energy carrier?"

Mecha! ? When other people in the communication channel heard this, they were stunned. What does it mean? Mecha upgrade! ?

"Damn, are you trying to blow up the mecha?!" Zhao Lejie got goosebumps.

"Do we have anything else we can use?" Ying Chenlin asked back, "At this stage, the spaceship only has spare mechas."

The mecha masters stopped. In this emergency situation, apart from the Gale spacecraft that they had to keep for escape, the only carriers that could be found in an emergency were mechas.

In order to facilitate the combat of the mecha division, the energy storage compartment of the mecha can indeed store a large amount of wartime energy. Not only that, the inner cabin of the mecha can also store some small carriers. The size of the mecha may not be that big, but it is indeed a very capable carrier.

Time was very tight. Before other mecha divisions could raise any objections, the KID gun mecha that was originally retreating rushed forward at this moment, and the shells it threw out immediately blasted open the outermost pollutants at the core crack point.

The noise immediately woke up all the mecha pilots. The KID mecha pilot had almost no hesitation. Seeing that You Su had already taken action, they immediately followed his pace.

You Su blasted away the pollutants with one shot. He knew there was no need to explain too much.

Ying Chenlin is a mecha repairman. In the professional field, mecha problems are left to the repairman to solve.

"Xiao Hu and I will go to the left." Wen Yi quickly determined the distribution of pollutants at the scene and said quickly, "Liz, follow trace."

Chi Liz caught up with You Su, and all the Dawn Mecha Division members started moving.

Alice laughed and said, "Let us fight in close combat on the periphery, and you guys attack from a distance."

Seeing their captain's actions, the SLY Mecha Division followed the movements of the Dawn Mecha Division.

"What else do you need?" Qi Sicheng asked.

Ying Chenlin spoke without hesitation: "A gust of wind tank mecha."

Zhao Lejie: ​​“!?”

Ying Chenlin: "A spare one, with a thicker shield."

Zhao Lejie just breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Sicheng: "The spare mecha is with the captain. Take Le Jie's spare one. It has a thicker shield."

Zhao Lejie: ​​"How many mechas are you going to blow up!?"

Ying Chenlin said: "Bomb two, the tank and the hidden one."

Ji Qingfeng: "Could it be hidden?"

Ying Chenlin: "We have a backup concealed unit for our KID. I found a locked one."

Lin Yao suddenly remembered: "Could it be Da Feng's ex-girlfriend?"

Ji Qingfeng's flying steps were almost hit by pollutants when he heard the bad news. The spare mecha he had used appeared in his mind, and then he suddenly remembered his ex-girlfriend's mecha. The ex-girlfriend's mecha was still equipped with the first-generation restraint lock used by his wife.

The pollutants on the periphery of the crack were still increasing. When the mecha divisions rushed forward, they alarmed the pollutants. The pollutants on the periphery locked onto the mecha divisions and attacked with their fangs bared. Several SLY mechas, led by SLY captain Alice, directly supported the pollutants on the left side of the Gale spacecraft, and the remaining pollutants on the right were all led away by the Dawn's melee mecha divisions.

A part of the pollutants were diverted away from both sides at the same time, and the current situation of the crack surface gradually became clear again. Qi Sicheng was analyzing the entry point of the crack, while someone in the front and side was faster than him. The red and white gun mecha seized the opportunity created by the mecha master next to it and cut into the side of the pollutant without hesitation.

Qi Sicheng's eyes were startled for a moment, and he immediately locked onto You Su's position and followed up. Has he already locked onto the location of the crack? Is he waiting for an opportunity? He looked at Huo Yan: "Captain Huo."

Huo Yan knew about his teammates' situation faster than Qi Sicheng. He and Qi Sicheng assisted You Su on the left and right, helping him block the pollutants next to him. The bombs that the mecha technicians had originally kept came in handy at this time. They didn't have time to clean up so many pollutants, so they could only open a gap based on the core point to facilitate the delivery of single bombs later.

"Chen Lin, how long will it take you?" Huo Yan and Qi Sicheng were calculating the time. The bomb was only one thing. They also had to find a way to clear the way and calculate the speed of change of the cracks.

"45 minutes." Ying Chenlin stared at the carrier in front of him and shouted, "Leave the energy calculation and single energy bomb to me and Captain Ke, the rest is up to you."

After Colin arrived at the location, Ying Chenlin handed over the disassembly of all large parts to him. The two of them raced against time to remove the energy clips of other carriers. A KID red and white mecha was parked on the dock, and the charging point at its rear was fully opened.

Ying Chenlin quickly entered the cockpit of the mecha, and after opening the cockpit, he immediately entered the KID's key authority and turned on the automatic driving system. Although the mecha has intelligent driving, it has its own inherent set of logic. Without the instructions of the mecha operator, its automatic operation program will determine the combat method that conforms to the logic of the mecha at a certain point in time.

All he had to do was to modify the program settings so that the mecha would not have to make intelligent judgments, but would only follow two fixed instructions, allowing them to maintain a single action from beginning to end.

A complex program unfolded in front of Ying Chenlin. His fingers quickly entered the internal program and shut down all the judgment systems that originally belonged to the mecha's intelligence, leaving only a weapon use instruction for the mecha. The restraint lock on the KID's spare stealth mecha was filled with energy by Ying Chenlin, and the fully unfolded restraint lock immediately bound the largest individual carrier that fell on the docking platform.

In addition to the restraint weapon, Ying Chenlin quickly dismantled another weapon and emptied the weapon box: "Captain Ke, this way!"

When Colin came over with the delivery pipe, he realized how big a deal Ying Chenlin had played. He actually modified the mecha on the spot by removing all useless components from it, freeing up all storage spaces to store energy, and even using the weapon boxes of the mecha's original weapons to store energy. With this installation method, a mecha can hold 1 times more energy than they expected.

Captain SLY was almost running his legs off, and ran over with the key to the spare tank mecha of Gale, "Key, key lejie1234"

At this time, the entire Gale spacecraft shook, and Ying Chenlin and Ke Lin paused. When they looked out, they saw pollutants appearing in the partition window outside the Gale spacecraft. It was a pollutant with the ability to fly at high speeds.

At this time, Captain Jifeng directly pulled the joystick of the spacecraft to the limit. His voice appeared on the communication channel inside the spacecraft, "Hold on steady, I can't control the balance here."

Captain SLY hurriedly grabbed the handrail of the docking station, "Sink, take it."

Ying Chenlin caught the tank mecha key thrown from the air with one hand. When he just grabbed it, the external bumps became extremely obvious. His right hand tightly grasped the extended body of the mecha.

High-speed pollutants rushed towards the Swift Airship. The old captain hit the control panel of the airship hard. The whole mecha escaped from the claws of pollutants at a tilt angle of 180 degrees. Everything in the dock tilted uncontrollably to the left. Colin hurriedly stabilized his balance and did not disconnect the delivery pipe. He looked at Ying Chenlin who was floating in the air and shouted, "Sink!"

Ying Chenlin grabbed the mecha, turned over and jumped up. As soon as he landed, he input his mental power to activate the spare A-class mecha and input Zhao Lejie's key. "Captain Ke, the balance of the hidden mecha is left to you."

Just as Colin stabilized the balance of the machine, Ying Chenlin turned around and entered the tank mecha.

The entire spacecraft continued to shake. As time went on, the Swift Spacecraft encountered more pollutants. Amid the shaking, accompanied by external impacts, the entire docking station became so quiet that only the sound of the mecha's operation could be heard.

There are too many pollutants from the outside. After all, they only have 22 mecha technicians, and it is very difficult to face pollutants that are more numerous than their mechas.

Ying Chenlin only glanced at the perspective window, and saw only the mecha that was about to be swallowed by the pollutants and the light waves of the mecha thrusters. The voices of his teammates in the earphones were only short instructions and conversations. Even the few people who loved to joke the most stopped joking at this time.

Not only his teammates need to hurry, he also needs to hurry.

The expansion speed of the crack is not uniform, which means that the changes are unpredictable. The slower he and Colin move, the greater the possibility of their teammates being in danger. Ying Chenlin does not want to take this risk again, so he wants to go faster and faster.

The interface of the energy warehouse was opened, and the attack position was reserved for the gun mecha, and the flight time of the computer mecha and the time of the weapon... The passage of time was like a knife hanging over everyone's head, and no one slowed down.

Colin spent five minutes filling the stealth mech.

When he turned around, he heard the sound of the tank's mecha weapon falling to the ground - Ying Chenlin had taken down Zhao Lejie's lightsaber.

"Captain Ke, charge." Ying Chenlin shouted.

Colin saw Ying Chenlin sticking his head out of the cockpit, and immediately ended his work here and connected the delivery tube to the weapon box of the tank mecha.

"Outside!" Captain SLY, who was observing the external situation, suddenly shouted, "The number of pollutants has increased again."

Colin looked outside and saw the crack in the distance through the perspective window of Captain SLY. With the long-range aiming of the mecha, the number of mechas around the crack had spread to a terrifying number in just half an hour. These were all S-level pollutants, and the total number of these pollutants might be more than the S-level pollutants that had appeared in Dawn in the past ten years.

The mecha divisions fighting outside were no longer as mobile as they were at the beginning. Surrounded by multiple pollutants, the range of their movement was almost reduced to a minimum. The tank mechas took most of the damage, the melee mechas all retreated, and the long-range mechas' fire did not stop. Even so, the central crack position reserved space for about four mechas to advance.

The mecha masters have torn through the obstacles in front of the crack and maintained the width of the crack.

Time passed minute by minute, and at this moment, the tank's mecha was fully charged.

"Charging is ready!" Colin turned his head and saw Ying Chenlin jumping down from the tank mecha. When he landed, he released the KID medical mecha.

Ying Chenlin quickly entered the medical mecha, and when he opened the cockpit, he saw the farthest target.

The red light of the space wand turned on within the distance. Colin stepped back and saw Sink disappear from the dock with the entire bomb.

When the mecha masters outside looked out, they saw that the two mechas were almost tightly bound by the restraint chains of the hidden mecha, and the tank mecha unfolded a shield with just the right distance range.

And in the middle of the two machines is the original largest carrier energy bomb and the artificially guided energy wire. As long as the tank's shield is withdrawn, there is no need to use remote control to trigger this kind of thing. Any attack that falls on the wire will explode.

"This is awesome!" the SLY mecha master exclaimed in amazement.

The KID medical mecha moved with the bomb to the vicinity of the KID gun closest to the crack. He immediately released the bomb formed by the two mechas. The KID gun moved very quickly. The muzzle of the wind steel cannon was stuck on the tank shield. With just one shot, the tank's shield was directly hit into the pile of pollutants.

"All long-range mechas attack the tank's shield!" Qi Sicheng shouted, "Push that shield in!"

Ying Chenlin said quickly: "The shield will last for 10 minutes!"

The defense of the Gale backup tank mecha was almost raised to 100% by Ying Chenlin. He set the time limit to 10 minutes. Within 10 minutes, they must completely push the mecha bomb formed by these two mechas into the crack circle, otherwise the shield will be lifted.

All guns and cannons were used completely violently at this time. 100% of the long-range sniper cannons were directed at the Gale spare tank. The continuous explosive propulsion force almost knocked the tank mecha and the surrounding pollutants into the cracks. This attack method of using shields to bear the breakthrough point completely freed up most of the mechas, leaving only the gun and cannon mechas for long-range propulsion.

The gunners and mecha divisions advanced the blue shield in an orderly manner, driving it in along with the pollutants.

The sense of crisis was pressing on the mecha masters. The wear and tear of their mechas had already soared to 50%. Huo Yan looked at the increasing amount of pollutants and said, "Other melee fighters, evacuate the core of the pollutants immediately."

Wen Yi noticed that five minutes had passed, and called out to all the gunners and mechas nearby: "Five minutes! Everyone retreat!"

"Old Zhao, run for your life!" Ji Qingfeng shouted.

Zhao Lejie cursed angrily and without caring about anything else, everyone immediately retreated towards the location of the Gale spacecraft.

At this moment, the crack seemed to expand a little further, and two more pollutants crawled out of the crack. When Qi Sicheng saw this, his pupils shrank and he shouted, "The position is crooked!"

Lu Xi exclaimed: "The spare mecha was squeezed away."

The retreating gunners and mecha divisions were stunned. When they looked back, they saw that a pollutant had pushed the shield outwards and had deviated from the position where they had initially attacked. If this continued, they would not be able to reach the core position!

"Fuck, that pollutant is sick! It can't even squeeze anything!" Zhao Lejie's brain suddenly felt hot and he cursed out loud.

Qi Sicheng was thinking of a solution when he saw two red and white mechas stepping out from the evacuation queue and rapidly closing the sniping distance. Huo Yan saw that it was Ying Chenlin and You Su, so he controlled the distance and shouted to the gunners who wanted to go to support, "The other gunners retreat, leave it to them."

You Su's gun speed followed Zhao Lejie's curse, and while running, the long-range sniper pushed the shield inward again. The propulsion force of the gun pressed inward, knocking the intrusive pollutant away. He frowned as he looked at the pollutants that were still squeezing in. Just as he was about to recharge his energy again, a mecha caught up with him from behind.

Ying Chenlin switched to the industry artillery and fired at the same time as You Su's wind steel cannon. When the tanks were almost moving out, they were forcibly pushed into the suction range of the crack.

After You Su finished his attack, he directly grabbed the back of Ying Chenlin's mecha and shouted, "Retreat!"

Ying Chenlin switched to the space wand, and the two mechas flashed suddenly while speeding and jumped to Huo Yan's position.

"Get in the cabin!" Captain Gale braked his spaceship suddenly in front of the mecha pilots.

All the mechas hurriedly hid in the parking spot of the Swift Airship. The old captain of the Swift Airship was pushing the speed of the Swift Airship to the slowest under the extreme condition. Ying Chenlin landed at the parking spot and glanced at the distance test. "The speed is not enough."

The speed is not fast enough. If it continues like this, the Gale spacecraft will be sucked into the impact range of the explosion.

"Captain!" Zhao Lejie shouted.

Captain Gale's blood pressure soared, and he pressed the defense system: "It's too late, everyone hurry!"

The strong storm that exploded the cracks swept in, and the mechas inside the berth of the Gale spacecraft almost tilted and collided with each other, and everyone hit the partitions in the cabin, and an unprecedented sense of bumps pressed towards everyone.

At this moment, a huge starship suddenly flashed in front of the Gale spacecraft. The suddenly deployed starship defense program spread out like a giant net. At the moment the crack exploded, the huge starship body blocked the front of all the mecha divisions, blocking all the storms for the Gale spacecraft.

Ying Chenlin looked up in surprise and saw the distinctive logo on the starship's hull.

——It’s the border troops.
