Ye Ling stared at the motionless protection system. The password had been cracked, but it still could not be turned off.
An invisible resistance, like a huge net, bound her tightly.
The energy field that flickers with faint blue light around is the final obstacle!
"Could this be... the energy field interference that Warwick mentioned?" Ye Ling muttered to himself, a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat surging in his heart.
"Humph, you want to stop me? No way!"
She took a deep breath, a determined glint in her eyes.
The surrounding energy field flickered, like the eyes of a giant beast, emitting a dangerous aura.
Ye Ling controlled the mecha, slowly stretched out her hand, and tentatively touched the edge of the energy field.
"Zizila--" A sharp sound of electric current was heard, and the metal shell of the mecha instantly flashed a blue light.
A powerful force came like a tidal wave and hit the mecha hard.
"Warning! Warning! The energy field interference is too strong, and the mecha is damaged by 10%!" A shrill alarm sounded inside the mecha, and the red warning light flashed wildly.
Ye Ling clenched her teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down her forehead.
This energy field is even more powerful than she imagined!
But if you give up now, all your previous efforts will be in vain!
Duan Yu is still waiting for her!
Thinking of this, Ye Ling
"Let's fight!" She pushed the joystick hard, and the mecha made a low roar and rushed towards the center of the energy field!
"Ziz! Ziz!" The sound of electric current became more and more frequent, and the alarm of the mecha became more and more urgent.
"Warning! Warning! Mecha damage level 30%!"
Ye Ling felt as if her body was being torn apart, and the severe pain made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
But she did not hesitate at all. She held the joystick tightly with both hands, controlled the mecha, and went deeper into the energy field step by step.
The surrounding energy field was like boiling water, rolling and roaring, trying to swallow Ye Ling.
The metal shell of the mecha groaned under the heavy burden, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Ah!" Ye Ling let out a painful roar, but she still did not give up.
Just then, she felt a strange fluctuation coming from the core of the mecha.
A warm power spread from the core and quickly flowed throughout the body.
Ye Ling was stunned for a moment, and then this... what was this feeling?
"Buzz—" The mecha suddenly emitted a low hum, and the surrounding energy field began to slowly dissipate...
"Ye Ling, what are you doing?!" Li Qing's voice suddenly sounded in the communicator, extremely anxious.
Ye Ling did not answer, but just stared at the control panel in front of her.
With a "click", the protection system was shut down.
Ye Ling's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. "Oh, nothing more than that."
She turned to look at Duan Yu, who was still unconscious, and whispered, "It's time to go."
Ye Ling felt a warm current surging in her body, and the core of the ancient mecha seemed to merge with her. The interference of the energy field gradually weakened, no longer as violent as before, but instead like a docile stream, gently caressing the mecha.
She took a deep breath and felt refreshed. The severe pain just now disappeared without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented sense of strength.
"Hehe, it seems that my little darling can't stand it anymore." Ye Ling raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and controlled the mecha confidently. Her fingers danced on the control panel, and strings of complex codes poured down like a waterfall.
The energy field seemed to sense this powerful force. The originally violent blue light gradually became soft, and the flashing frequency also slowed down, as if surrendering to Ye Ling.
The tense atmosphere began to dissipate, replaced by a strange quiet.
Ye Ling even felt that the energy field was guiding her and helping her complete the operation faster.
drip-drip-drip-
Duan Yu's vital signs monitor issued a rapid alarm, and the values on the display screen continued to decrease.
Ye Ling's heart suddenly shrank, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.
She turned her head to look at Duan Yu lying in the hibernation capsule. His face was as pale as paper and his lips were bloodless.
"Duan Yu, you must hold on!" Ye Ling gritted her teeth and moved her hands faster.
The air around seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people breathless.
The temperature inside the mecha suddenly rose, and sweat slid down Ye Ling's forehead, dripping onto the control panel, splashing tiny water droplets.
"Warning! The protection system is about to shut down!" A mechanical prompt sounded inside the mecha.
Ye Ling's fingers suddenly paused, she took a deep breath, and pressed the last button.
“Click—”
The sound of the protection system shutting down was crisp and loud, like a thunderclap, echoing in the silent ruins.
At this moment, Duan Yu's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something...
Duan Yu's lips trembled, and his weak voice came intermittently into Ye Ling's ears: "Don't... don't worry about me... you... you are so great..." Ye Ling's heart trembled, a warm current surged in her heart, and her eyes were slightly moist.
This usually cold man was still thinking about her when he was unconscious!
"Silly boy, of course I'm great!" Ye Ling choked up and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't bother to put in so much effort!"
The core of the ancient mecha emitted a dazzling light, reflecting the surrounding energy field, as if celebrating this historic moment.
Mysterious runes appeared on the surface of the mecha, shining brightly and emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
Ye Ling felt an unprecedented power surging into her body, making her full of confidence.
"Finally... the evolution succeeded!" She clenched her fists, feeling the surging power in her body, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, Evelyn's mecha suddenly appeared and tried to stop Ye Ling.
“Want to leave? Not that easy!” Evelin’s voice was filled with jealousy and anger.
Ye Ling sneered, "You defeated general dare to come and die?" She controlled the evolved mecha, her movements were as fast as lightning, and with a punch, Evelyn's mecha was instantly knocked away and fell like a kite with a broken string.
"That's it? Are you worthy enough to compete with me?" Ye Ling curled her lips in disdain, turned around and took Duan Yu away from the ruins.
After leaving the ruins, Ye Ling and Duan Yu were surrounded by dazzling light.
When the light faded, they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by various mechas and spaceships.
"It seems that we have become popular..." Ye Ling looked at the crowd around who were eyeing her eagerly, with a meaningful smile on his face.
A woman in a black uniform walked up to Ye Ling and said in a cold tone, "Ye Ling, you are suspected of stealing technology from alien ruins. Please come with us." Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, who's afraid of who?"
