Chapter 399
Kronos controlled the Tree of Life to intercept the shells. The heavy weapons hidden in the shells were not broken up by the attack, but fell heavily under the nest built by the Tree of Life without detonating. When the shell was fired, the mecha carrying the jammer was dispatched again, rushing towards Kronos from all directions.
Luo Xu, who saw this scene, said anxiously: "The heavy weapons have been deployed! There are still 45 minutes left, we have to leave here as soon as possible."
Ying Chenlin looked at the increasing number of mechas in the sky. A faint voice appeared in a separate channel. His hearing had not yet fully recovered, so he only heard You Su's very low voice, "You Su?"
You Su said: "Chen Lin, go to a safe place and wait for me."
Ying Chenlin had a very bad feeling, "I can't hear you clearly, You Su, please explain clearly."
At this moment, You Su, who was holding Ying Chenlin's mecha, suddenly pushed him to the other side of the border army and said, "Keep an eye on him. His mecha is badly damaged and he can't fight."
Lin Yi's chest was slightly shaking, and he suddenly realized something: "You Su, this is an order, you come back with me now."
"Luo Xu, take General Lin away." You Su suddenly said.
Luo Xu was stunned: "What do you want to do? I'm telling you, don't mess around—"
There were very few sounds of fighting. When it was quiet, the only sound one could hear was the voices of the border troops on the communication channel. If one listened carefully, one would find that the background noises on each other were very small, so small that they were difficult to detect and distinguish. But at this moment, one could clearly hear Lin Yi's breathing.
This person was rescued alive by him, so he should live well.
Lin Yi's voice trembled. He endured the pain in his body and said, "Child, be obedient and come back with me."
"Lin Yi, you have to live, and live for my mother."
What You Su hated most in his life was hearing all kinds of orders. People in high positions could decide a person's life and make another person live with regret. He had been feeling this way for the first half of his life, whether it was 30 years ago, 20 years ago, 11 years ago, or now.
Kronos had to die. If he didn't, he would never feel at peace in this life. The people he loved would live in such a world, so he didn't want to live in fear of the unknown all the time in the future.
"Standing alive, waiting behind for me to return."
You Su seemed to recall the image of You Yuying entering the border many years ago. He lowered his voice and shouted tremblingly, "Luo Xu, I beg you, take my dad away!"
When Lin Yi heard the voice, he was slightly startled, and he looked at the mecha in front of him.
Luo Xu stopped and looked at You Su. This young man who had grown up under his care seemed to have never changed.
A few seconds later, he turned around with Lieutenant General Lin, "Lieutenant General Lin, I will take you to a safe place."
The two separated mechas were heading in two directions respectively. Ying Chenlin looked at the mecha in front of him with a slightly dazed look. When he was imprisoned, You Su had already rushed in another direction. Seeing this situation, he pressed the wrist of the border army's mecha, and the entire mecha broke free from the soldiers' confinement.
"etc!"
Ying Chenlin vaguely heard the sound, and when he looked back, an unused independent energy bomb was thrown in front of him.
Luo Xu threw out an energy bomb from the storage compartment. It was a special iron wire worm jammer. "Take it with you. Maybe it can be used."
Seeing the jammer, Ying Chenlin took it, thanked him, then turned and left with the jammer.
The two mechas gradually moved away in front of Lin Yi. He sat in the mecha, trying to figure out where they were going from the hazy vision.
But the more I looked, the more it seemed like they were flying off into a wider world, never to come back.
You Su liked driving mechas since he was very young. This child was born to love freedom and the sky. As soon as he learned how to drive a mecha, he pestered You Yuying and said that he wanted to go to the polluted area to kill pollutants. Later, the child grew up gradually, from being only as tall as his knees to a teenager. At the age of 14, he joined the Dawn Special Forces and became an invincible mecha commander as You Yuying expected.
But later everything changed unexpectedly. You Yuying died and his children's personalities changed drastically.
After Lin Yi lost his wife 11 years ago, his needs and wants became very simple. He didn't care what happened. He hoped to avenge his wife one day, and he also hoped that his children would grow up safely, no matter where they went, or whether they hated him. He hoped that everything would go well for him in the future, and that he could become the mecha master he wanted to be, and fly freely in this vast world.
So when he saw You Su found his freedom in the Mecha Alliance, he was really happy for the kid. In the dead of night, he watched the live broadcasts of games on Starnet, and even imagined that one day in the future, he would be able to avenge his wife, unload all his burdens, go to the Star Alliance Mecha League, and watch one of his games with his own eyes.
"Lieutenant General." Luo Xu noticed the silence in the communication channel. ⑧
Lin Yi looked at the two red and white mechas that had already sunk into the endless river in the distance. After a long while, he said, "Let's go. I'll go back and wait for them."
In the countercurrent of pollutants, the retrograde mecha moved forward amid the warship's gunfire. In just a few minutes, Ying Chenlin no longer saw You Su. He hurriedly tried to find the location of the radar in the cockpit, but suddenly found scratches like garbled code on the radar page.
Ying Chenlin's gaze paused slightly. Yuan had suffered a head-on impact in the command ship's energy bay. Most of the functions inside the mecha had been damaged, with the total loss reaching 58%.
At the other end of the Mecha Abyss, the effect of the sedative was minimal, and Ying Chenlin's suppressed mental power began to recover gradually, finally reaching 7,000.
Unable to find Yousu’s coordinates on the radar, he looked up blankly.
Among the countless mechas moving forward, he couldn't find You Su.
"Chen Lin." Yuan reminded.
Ying Chenlin lowered his head, and the robotic arm felt a slight bulge on the skin of his left hand. It was the locator that You Su had put on his wrist half a month ago when they were on their way to rescue the SLY starship.
He had never been separated from You Su. The doctor had untied his wristband once when he entered the medical room, but he kept it on his hand afterwards. Ying Chenlin calmed himself down, pulled off the locator on his wrist, and placed it on the programming table inside the mecha.
This special locator has no restrictions and seems to be designed for use in special circumstances. It is turned on once worn, and once the touch key is touched, a special signal is transferred to the mecha.
Yuan paused for a moment——
[An unknown program has been detected. Do you want to open it? ]
Ying Chenlin pressed the button without hesitation, and a one-way positioning system appeared in front of him.
There was only a jumping blue dot in the system, which was rising continuously at his nine o'clock position. Ying Chenlin gripped Yuan's joystick tightly, and the entire mecha suddenly changed direction under the guidance of the system and rushed towards the blue dot.
In the highest system of the border army, when all the mecha divisions were flying towards Kronos one after another, all the soldiers on the warships in the rear did not stop. Kronos's tree of life was stronger than imagined, and the wireworm jammers were almost consumed, but no mecha division could reach a deeper position. The shortest distance that the wireworm jammers could reach was only 500 meters!
Wei Changyang advanced among a group of mecha divisions and entered the range of the Tree of Life under the cover of countless mechas behind him. When he was in a good position, the weapon in his hand hit a certain point at a high place, shortening the distance to 463 meters! The wireworm jammer landed and continued to crawl forward in the gaps between the trees of life. When it was 347 meters away from Kronos, it was damaged by deep water.
Kronos noticed the mecha going deep into the water, and the branches of the Tree of Life spread out and rushed towards Wei Changyang. Wei Changyang advanced at the limit, and the time force field suddenly descended and pressed on him. He was swept away, and the mecha fell into the deep water. When the branches rushed up to tie him up, he suddenly saw something, switched to another weapon, and fell out from the edge at the limit.
"Commander!" The border troops who arrived supported him.
"Change direction!" Wei Changyang had just noticed Kronos at a very close distance. The deep water of the Tree of Life did not completely cover Kronos' body. Except for the position that was strictly guarded by Kronos, there was no deep water on the trunk of the Tree of Life where its feet were connected. "Find a way to get closer to its legs!"
Originally, Kronos was small in size, but now its body has expanded, and multiple limbs serve as landing points.
After receiving the order, several border army mechas began to change direction and rushed towards Kronos's feet one after another. Several jammers successfully approached Kronos's feet. The iron wire worms splashed by the shells were not damaged when they fell on Kronos. It crawled forward for dozens of seconds until it was accidentally swept by other life trees and fell to the ground, where it was destroyed.
This has shortened the distance to within 300 meters. The border soldier who detected the data said excitedly: "Commander, the control time can reach 6 seconds!
The worm lasted for 30 seconds! ”
These 6 seconds do not include the crawling time of the wireworm jammer!
Seeing this, Wei Changyang shouted to the people behind him, "Give me the jammer, I'll go."
The communication channel was silent. Wei Changyang was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"Commander... we don't have enough jammers." An officer said with difficulty: "Not enough."
120 jammers were delivered, and from the initial trial and error to the discovery of a suitable landing site, all the border army soldiers were working hard to deploy them. However, there were only 120 jammers in total, and even if they had been using them sparingly, there were only a few jammers left by now.
Wei Changyang asked: "How much is left?"
"There are no more." The officer said, "All the remaining ones have been loaded onto the mechas currently in combat."
Wei Changyang looked at the area covered by the Tree of Life in astonishment. There were fewer and fewer mechas that could rush into the area of the Tree of Life, and there were no mechas that could go deep into the vicinity of the legs. It seemed that the distance of 300 meters just now was just a flash of hope. He looked at the mechas that were rushing forward regardless of life or death, and saw that there were fewer and fewer mecha pilots going in.
The entire communication channel was silent, and everyone watched the signal on the mecha gradually decrease, until a border soldier said, "Commander, there are only 10 minutes left for the heavy weapons to detonate."
The virtual screen was filled with a conspicuous brown-red countdown. Warning prompts were accompanied by silence in the communication channel. All the soldiers were still rushing forward. Time seemed to have no chance of stopping them, but he knew that this was already the limit. They had no way to increase their success rate and could not make any more unnecessary sacrifices.
Wei Changyang suppressed his grief and helplessness and shouted in a trembling voice: "Pass my order, have all soldiers... retreat, evacuate the explosion range of heavy weapons."
The mechas and warships without jammers received the order to retreat. Subsequent support rescued the damaged mechas. All the soldiers looked back unwillingly and had to retreat under the cover of the warships in the distance.
"No... Commander!" The soldier in charge of detecting the radar shouted, "There are still mechas that haven't retreated!"
Wei Changyang turned around suddenly, "What do you mean!"
Soldier: "And jammers!"
In the light of the explosion, the speeding red and white mecha rushed through the second line of defense of the Tree of Life and went straight to a deeper position. The branches of the Tree of Life seemed to have discovered him and launched a series of attacks towards the location of his mecha.
Wei Changyang recognized the mecha, it was Lin Yi's son You Su.
The red mecha moved very smoothly. It almost completely avoided the defense line of the Tree of Life in front of it and penetrated into the belly of the Tree of Life like a fish. The red and white gun mecha shuttled through the branches of the Tree of Life with everyone's hope. Its nimble body stepped on the high-speed thrusters and quickly closed the distance.
"He's in!" said a border officer.
This rapid movement showed the opponent's keen operating level. He avoided the tree of life one after another and seemed to be particularly familiar with Kronos. Just when everyone thought that he had advanced deeper, the trees of life that were not originally in this position all discovered the red and white mecha and rushed towards him from different directions.
Wei Changyang said nervously, "The number of mecha targets has decreased."
Most of the mechas and warships have retreated, and now there is no one to share the hatred for You Su. Once all the trees of life lose their attack targets, they will all rush towards You Su!
"cover!!"
The number of mechas within Kronos's domain decreased, and when he was about to break through the border army and advance to the farthest distance in history, Kronos immediately locked onto him. The rushing branches of the Life Tree almost blocked Yousu's way forward, and the encirclement without blind spots pressed down on him!
At this moment, the fiery artillery that rushed out from the other side broke up the branches of the life tree in front of You Su and created a gap. You Su turned his head suddenly and saw a mecha figure rushing towards him from the branches of the Tree of Life. "Ying Chenlin!!"
After Ying Chenlin locked onto You Su's position, he saw that all the branches of the trees of life were attracted by You Su. He took this opportunity to pass through You Su's position and rushed to a deeper position.
You Su didn't expect Ying Chenlin to come back. Seeing him going deeper, he became increasingly anxious. He controlled his mecha to catch up with him and connected with Yuan. He shouted, "Ying Chenlin! Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"
"I didn't hear you clearly." Ying Chenlin avoided the branches of the Tree of Life and leaped forward again for a distance, listening to the faint voice coming from the communication system, "I didn't agree to you either."
"You Su!?" Theo asked, "What should we do!?"
You Su looked at the mecha that was still leaping forward in front of him, and the complicated thoughts in his mind turned into the only optimal solution.
He immediately turned the mecha around and walked in another direction with all the branches of the tree of life nearby. "He can go, cover him!"
