Ye Ling's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Her beloved mecha was now like a pile of scrap metal, lying quietly in the hangar.
The originally smooth metal shell was covered with scratches, and some places were even deeply sunken, revealing the complex circuits inside.
What's worse is that the energy connector of the mecha core was actually destroyed by humans, and important parts were scattered all over the ground, as if they had been torn apart by wild beasts.
"How could this happen?!" Ye Ling's voice trembled as she looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.
Duan Yu walked quickly to the side of the mecha, his expression becoming serious.
He carefully examined the damaged area, his brow furrowed.
"This is clearly sabotage, and the method is extremely professional, as if they wanted to completely destroy this mecha."
"Who did it?!" Ye Ling gritted her teeth, flames of anger burning in her eyes.
Jax, one of the best mecha repairmen in the alliance, was also urgently invited.
He examined the damaged mecha for a long time and finally shook his head helplessly.
"Ms. Ye Ling, the situation is not optimistic. These damaged parts are extremely delicate and custom-made for your mecha. There are no replacements on the market. Even if we could find them, it would be too late. The competition starts tomorrow..."
Ye Ling's heart sank to the bottom. Was she really going to give up the competition?
No, she will never give up!
She has put in so much effort to get to where she is today, how can she give up so easily!
Just then, a sharp voice broke the silence of the hangar.
"Ye Ling, I advise you to withdraw from the competition."
Ye Ling and Duan Yu turned around and saw Ali standing at the door with a sneer on his face.
"You're nothing but a piece of trash. You're not worthy of being with Duan Yu, let alone participating in the Mech Warrior League Competition. If you know what's good for you, withdraw immediately. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences."
Ye Ling's eyes instantly turned cold. "Ah Li, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? You know it in your heart!" Ali said arrogantly, "Do you think that if you can climb up to Duan Yu's high branch, you can fly up and become a phoenix? Don't dream! You will only bring trouble to Duan Yu!"
Ye Ling took a deep breath and tried hard to control the anger in her heart.
She knew that Ali had always looked down on her and had been trying to separate her and Duan Yu, but she had never expected that Ali would use such despicable means to deal with her.
"Ah Li, I won't give up the competition." Ye Ling said firmly, "I will walk my own path. As for what happened between you and Duan Yu, that's your business. It has nothing to do with me."
Ali's face changed, obviously she didn't expect Ye Ling to be so tough.
She snorted coldly and said, "Okay, you asked for it! Don't regret it later!" Then she turned and left.
Ye Ling looked at Ali's departing back and clenched her fists.
She knew that this competition was not only for herself, but also to prove to everyone that she was not a waste and that she had the ability to stand beside Duan Yu and fight alongside him.
"Ling'er..." Duan Yu looked at Ye Ling with heartache. He knew that she was under tremendous pressure at the moment.
Ye Ling raised her head and gave Duan Yu a determined smile.
"Don't worry, I won't give up. Let's work together and we'll definitely be able to solve this problem!"
Suddenly, Ye Ling’s communicator rang. It was Irelia.
"Sister Ye Ling, I heard your mecha..."
"Shh—" Ye Ling made a gesture to keep quiet, "I need you to do me a favor..."
Ye Ling's answer was obviously beyond Ali's expectations.
She thought Ye Ling would cry and beg her, or endure it silently like before, but she didn't expect Ye Ling to be so tough.
Ali was speechless for a moment and could only glare at Ye Ling fiercely, then walked away, secretly planning his next move in his mind.
"That's it? That's it? I thought she was so powerful, but it turns out she's just being tough." After Ali left, Ye Ling shrugged as if she was relaxed, but turned around to see Duan Yu looking at her with a worried look on his face.
"Don't worry, the hermit has a good plan." Ye Ling winked at Duan Yu and smiled mysteriously.
Jax scratched his head and said with a gloomy face, "Ms. Ye Ling, although you are full of fighting spirit, the reality is very bleak. It's hard for a good cook to cook without rice!"
Ye Ling patted Jax's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't panic, Lao Jia, there will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally find a bridge when it reaches the bridge... Hey? Wait!" Ye Ling suddenly thought of something and grabbed Jax's arm, "Lao Jia, do you remember the last time we went to the abandoned mecha field..."
Jax was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Yeah! How could I have forgotten about that! There might be some useful parts there!"
The two immediately set off for the abandoned mecha field.
There were piles of scrapped mecha parts of various models piled together in a disorderly manner, like a steel tomb.
Jax is worthy of being a master of mecha maintenance. With his rich experience and keen observation, he actually found several replacement parts in a corner!
"Wuhu! Take off!" Ye Ling jumped up excitedly and hugged Jax. "Old Jax, you are really my savior!"
"Hehe, no big deal." Jax scratched his head embarrassedly, and looking at Ye Ling's excited expression, he couldn't help but feel happy too.
"Although this model is a bit old, after my modifications, it should be usable." Jax carefully inspected the found parts and said, "However, the repair work will take time, and..."
