It's unclear how long they fought, but gradually their teamwork became more and more seamless. Often, Lu Yuan would first use his firearms to attract most of the monsters, and then Xia Yixin would rush forward in the gaps between the monsters. Lu Yuan would then reappear when the monsters that rushed out blocked her path.

The two fought fiercely, killing dozens of monsters in just one minute. Their red mechs were almost entirely covered in splattered blood. They were constantly stepping on the corpses of the previous monsters before the next one was delivered into the line of fire.

Moreover, Xia Yixin gradually discovered that, for some reason, there were more monsters gathered on Lu Yuan's side.

Could it be because he is currently controlling the administrator mech?

Before Xia Yixin could think about it, her back armor was suddenly grabbed. She knew that only Lu Yuan could be behind her, so she did not resist. Sure enough, she heard Lu Yuan's calm voice on the communicator.

"I'll throw you out, and once you land, just keep moving forward. I'll protect you."

At this point, they were still more than a thousand meters away from the mountain peak.

The entire mountain was covered in volcanic ash that would collapse with a single step, and there were countless monsters with gaping, blood-red mouths emerging from all directions.

Before she could respond, she felt a tremendous force dragging her back and waist. The red mecha compressed itself to its limit and then violently threw the white Black Yama towards the mountaintop.

Although the place where she landed was only a little over a hundred meters away from where she had just been, it was already a relatively sparse area from the area densely populated by monsters.

"run!"

Hearing the man's voice, Xia Yixin had no time to hesitate any longer and rushed towards the highest score point of the "ruby" floating high on the mountain peak.

Thanks to the 360-degree unobstructed view provided by the mecha's controls, Xia Yixin could also see what was behind her, including the red mecha that was completely "submerged" by the monsters.

Although the manager mech was set to have the highest strength, it was still no match for the sheer number of monsters. The monsters, controlled by the system, fiercely tore at the mech with their teeth, some even having their heads pierced but still refusing to let go, determined to dismantle the mech into parts.

Although he said he felt no pain, she still felt a pang of heartache looking at the red manager mech with one leg torn off.

She wasn't stupid. Although he didn't say it outright, his purpose in coming to the combat system was to save her.

She rushed to the top of the mountain in one breath, and just as she was about to close the final finish line to ten meters, everything went black. Before she knew it, a predator that had sprung out of the ground bit her arm. Instantly, corrosive liquid burned half of the white mecha's arm. Xia Yixin also felt a piercing pain in her right arm, and her face, which had just recovered a little, turned deathly pale.

In the blink of an eye, a spark exploded on the predator's body.

roar--!

The predator was blasted away, and other monsters that tried to approach her were also driven back by the ranged laser beams.

It's Lu Yuan!

But his situation was not good at this moment; in fact, it was worse. In the process of firing those long-range bullets, he also lost the time to resist the surrounding monsters. Now, the red manager's other leg had also been removed, and the monster was dragging it, trying to pull it into the abyss.

She has no time left.

"Hurry!" The man's voice was unusually calm.

Xia Yixin hardened her heart and refused to think too much. She stood up and charged upwards. Finally, after stepping on the corpses of two predators, she leaped with all her might.

On the black mountain peak, after the battered white Black Yama mech successfully caught the "ruby" symbolizing the highest score and landed, Xia Yixin finally heard the long-awaited system notification sound.

Although it wasn't V, but that gentle female voice.

"Congratulations to Battle Mech B-0 for winning the game. This round of the Pioneer Game is over."

With the system's voice, the barren mountains, volcanic ash, and monsters surrounding Xia Yixin's location all turned to ashes, everything was wiped clean, and the red management mech that had been surrounded by the monster horde reappeared before her eyes.

"Lu Yuan, are you alright?" Xia Yixin hadn't finished speaking when, to her surprise, a huge hole appeared beneath the red administrator mecha, and with a whoosh, the red administrator mecha was pulled into the ground.

"Lu Yuan!"

Xia Yixin instinctively ran over, and just as she was about to be swallowed by the dark abyss, someone suddenly grabbed her from above.

For a moment, Xia Yixin doubted what she was seeing; the thing grabbing her arm was actually a brand-new red administrator mecha.

However, she later fell into a coma due to the pain caused by being kicked out of the system. When she woke up again, it was three days later.

At this moment, the night outside is exceptionally quiet.

Xia Yixin didn't know why she suddenly dreamed about these things again. There was an inexplicable feeling that she had overlooked something. She didn't understand why her subconscious would suddenly dream about this experience. Could it be the stress reaction after the female doctor mentioned the combat system?

At that moment, her keen mental power allowed her to sense the faint footsteps in the corridor; it was Lu Yuan.

She had prepared herself mentally, but all her preparations vanished when the door opened and she saw the travel-worn Lu Yuan.

His white uniform was stained with blood, but he didn't look injured. She immediately sensed something was wrong.

"What's wrong? What happened?"
