Chapter 216
Chapter 216
Under the ice cave, WHG's coordinates were still within Dawn's control. The target in the rear kept its distance from WHG, and the two sides were pulling each other quickly. On the Slared ice layer, after being surprised by Dawn's spatial displacement and pulling tactics, several teams looked at EM that was intercepted by SHIELD.
Judging from the overall strength, SHIELD cannot stop EM, but SHIELD has many mecha divisions coming to assist.
The First Star Domain SHIELD Team is well-known as the best defensive team in the Star Alliance. Captain Wu Qingshuang went to fight them. Even EM, the number one team in the Star Alliance, found it difficult to escape from SHIELD's encirclement quickly.
Alex's gaze shifted from Sink to Wu Qingshuang with a hint of coldness, "Wu Qingshuang, get out of the way."
Wu Qingshuang was firm: "No."
The strong teams around didn't want to get involved in this mess. Some people tried to stop EM, and other teams even wanted to cheer for them.
Alex asked: "Wu Qingshuang, can you stop EM, SLY and GBK?"
Wu Qingshuang's gaze fell on the distance. The support for the two teams had arrived. She was indeed unable to stop the three teams.
On the other side, four Dawn mechas that ran out of the ice cave just stood in the crowd, watching these strong teams confront each other. Huo Yan and Colin were really surprised that the SHIELD base would stand up to stop the people for them. There were not many intersections between the Dawn Galaxy and the Aries Galaxy. The Dawn Galaxy was the last, and the Aries Galaxy was the first galaxy in the first star field. The gap between the two places was huge.
Huo Yan asked: "Captain Ke, have you guys used all your connections to get to Aries?"
Lu Xi looked at Colin with admiration. He didn't expect that YDS was related to Aries Galaxy SHIELD.
"...You misunderstood. YDS has no dealings with the Aries Galaxy." Ke Lin was thinking of the two teams that used to rank first and second in his own galaxy. "It might be Team Qi and Team Wen. They played a lot of Star Domain Tournaments, so they might have had dealings with each other."
If they could stop the Star Alliance first, then the other teams would benefit. The other teams were ready to make a move, but at this moment, several mechas suddenly fell from high above. When the golden mecha representing PJT flew onto the ice, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the leading mecha.
When Alex saw Norbert getting involved, the coldness on his face reached its peak, "PJT is also getting involved."
Norbert did not respond to Alex, but drove the mecha over the hole dug by Alice and stopped there like a door god, intending to participate in the interception. The mechas around that were about to move stopped when they saw PJT's action. Although PJT only had three mechas, Norbert was not an easy opponent.
When passing by several Dawn mechas, Norbert greeted them in a friendly manner, which stunned the Dawn people.
Ke Lin looked at Huo Yan: "What's your relationship?"
Huo Yan scratched his head. "It seems we only met him once, and we didn't even say hello."
Hu Luobu: "He has greeted your base twice, once when he came in and again just now, and you're still not familiar with us!"
Lu Xi looked at Norbert, unable to tell what the other party's purpose was.
The involvement of the SHIELD base may be due to the relationship between their galaxy, but why did PJT get involved? There has been no communication between the Dawn Galaxy and the PJT mecha base in the past.
Colin looked at the two teams with some caution. While other bases were extremely interested in underground pollutants, these two bases stood on their side. This situation was really hard for them to understand.
Dawn has nothing that other bases could plot against. The only possibility is the pollutants that Ying Chenlin was carrying away.
Is this what the two bases are showing?
The conversation between the several people reached the Dawn spacecraft through the communicator. Several team leaders looked at Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang hurriedly shook his head three times: "If my relationship with SHIELD is so good! Are we so confused when we just arrived in Slared!"
When Shen Xingtang was deep in thought, the Dawn spacecraft suddenly received an emergency communication from the rear of the Dawn Galaxy. This emergency communication was sent on the expedited communication channel, which directly interrupted everyone's thoughts. When the staff clicked to accept, the image of the Alliance Chairman Li Jingyan appeared on the screen. In addition to the Alliance Chairman, even Mr. Qiu, a pollutant research expert from the Border Army, was there.
In addition to these two people, there are several familiar leaders. Director Liu from the Polluted Area Management Bureau is wiping his sweat on the side and rear.
It was already very late when Li Jingyan received the news. The news from the Dawn Galaxy was not as circulated as that from other galaxies. It was the leader of the First Star Region who personally informed him and also explained the matter of the special energy. Only then did Li Jingyan realize that the Dawn Galaxy had shone brightly in the Star Alliance mission, having stolen the core of a special pollutant right under the noses of a powerful team, and was now being besieged by major mecha bases.
Director Liu was sweating profusely, and his usually cold face couldn't help but smile, "I just placed a small order, I didn't expect them to even do this..."
Li Jingyan: "You did a great job. You became famous before you even became famous."
Director Liu: “…”
This unknown special energy is too important. When the news leaked from the Star Alliance Research Institute, the senior leaders of the major star fields had already received the leaked news. The First Star Field also received the news. They had not many teams participating in the Star Alliance mission this time, and it would be difficult to snatch the pollutants from the strong teams. The leaders of the First Star Field just wanted the SHIELD base to give it a try. Who knew that when they notified the SHIELD base of the news, they found out that the First Star Field was the one that was snatching the most and directly stole the pollutants.
Dawn? The worst one among the five galaxies? It also takes away the pollutants.
Now the leaders could no longer sit still. They originally thought that they were there to watch the fun, but who knew that the center of the fun was one of their own people. How can we just watch the fun now? We have to quickly send an escort team to the Donnuo Galaxy in the third star field as quickly as possible to support the Dawn Galaxy!
The confused people in the Dawn spacecraft only now realized how important the pollutant that Dawn was trying to steal was. What they were trying to steal was the lifeline of a new energy source.
No wonder the SHIELD mecha needs to provide cover. Falling on Dawn is equivalent to falling on the First Star Domain, which is a top priority for the entire First Star Domain.
"Then why does Norbert need cover? Isn't he from the second star field?" Brother Zhang asked.
The Black Crow leader said, "Why do you care what his purpose is? The most urgent thing is how to keep this thing in our hands. It seems that other strong teams have not received the news yet. It seems that EM or other teams may be in control."
There were few teams from their First Star Region participating, and their Star Alliance results were average, but other Star Regions with excellent results in the Mecha competitions already had a set of unspoken rules, and resources were prioritized. I'm afraid that the leaders of other Star Regions would be confused if they knew about this.
When the news came out, it only told strong teams like EM about potential internal transactions.
"The current disunity in other star regions is also a good thing for us." Li Jingyan continued, "We are now on our way to the third star region. We have received the latest news that the commander of the Star Alliance mission has submitted an application to terminate the Star Alliance mission, but this application has been blocked by many parties and should not be so easy to pass."
Shen Xingtang said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
"Before the mission termination procedure is completed, whoever has this thing will own it."
Li Jingyan said: "The leaders of the First Star Region have already rushed to the Star Alliance headquarters. Safety is the first priority. We will take it if we can, and give up if we can't."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xingtang looked at the radar coordinates underground. Even though there are PJT and SHIELD blocking the Slarede ice layer, there are still several mecha divisions underneath, and some have even approached the ice cave at the bottom. Do they have a way to keep this special energy core until the Covenant mission is terminated?
"Si Miao, share all the information and intelligence that the Chairman just sent to the mecha masters in the field." Shen Xingtang didn't care about that. "The Star Alliance mission termination procedure may be intercepted by other star regions. Before the mission termination order comes down, any team may pose a threat to us."
Slarede is a place that is only monitored by radar, and there are pollutants everywhere underground. Even if a strong team attacks them directly, they will not be able to stop it directly.
It was right for Huo Yan and others to run to the ice cave. It was impossible for a strong team to attack Huo Yan's four lone mechas in front of everyone, but it was not certain for the mechas left under the ice cave.
When Jiang Simiao shared the mission information, Huo Yan and Ke Lin had already locked the coordinates below.
SLY's Alice, WHG team, GBK Claude and three other mechas... There are quite a lot of mechas, and they are not easy to deal with.
At this moment, they suddenly received a communication request from SHIELD. Colin answered the call after a moment's hesitation. Wu Qingshuang's calm voice appeared in the communication channel: "SHIELD will cover your retreat, Dawn. The best way is to let them get the energy crystal and return to the ice."
"EM has not taken any action yet, but their movements are very strange." Wu Qingshuang directly expressed her doubts: "I suspect that EM has more plans underground in Slarede. We, SHIELD, cannot interfere with it under the ice, but as long as it is above the ice, with so many eyes, other teams dare not mess around."
Suddenly, PJT Norbert, who happened to be standing next to the entrance of the ice cave, said, "Alex, where are your other two mechas?"
Norbert spoke as if he was chatting, "Your Hidden Guns and Guns aren't here, right? Are the coordinates on the map fake?"
Alex didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it either.
Huo Yan's expression paused, Norbert was reminding them.
There are EM mechas underground, but they can't see them.
Under the Slarede, four mechas of the Dawn main force were fighting against the Blue Heart, sneaking past WHG through two moving targets. This heart is too big. After all the taproots were cut off, the roots of plants underground in Slarede have gradually lost their activity, but this blue heart is still strong. The broken taproots are even growing new roots, trying to reconnect with the other broken roots.
Zhao Lejie cut off its new roots and said, "This thing is too creepy. Fortunately, we just moved it away. If it was still in the original place, it would touch the roots on the ground and grow again."
Qi Sicheng and Wen Yi read the message from the Dawn spacecraft and learned the importance of the pollutant core. They followed KID in a blind rob, but they didn't expect that what they robbed was so important.
Lin Yao asked, "But once we get the core, they won't be able to snatch it from us, right? After all, it's hard to take this thing out once it's in the storage bin."
After reading the information, Ying Chenlin said, "There are ways outside the rules. For example, if your mecha is worn out to 80%, break the worn-out protective layer and directly dismantle the storage compartment."
Lin Yao: “So cruel!?”
"As long as no one is killed, they can easily destroy the warehouse and take us out since there is no video surveillance in the underground of Slarede. There are many reasons for them to take us away, such as the warehouse was dismantled by pollutants and they picked it up along the way." Wen Yi continued, "Since this thing is a new energy source, the competition between star regions has begun."
In this way, they not only have to remove the energy crystal core of the pollutant, but also have to escape from the underground safely with it.
Zhao Lejie's scalp tingled: "Hurry up, can you dismantle this thing and run away as soon as possible?"
The data said that the core of this pollutant was an energy converter, which was different from the control system that Ying Chenlin had originally guessed. His attention fell on the scarred but energetic pollutant under his feet, and he couldn't help but look at You Su next to him: "Brother You, is this thing really an evolving super S pollutant?"
You Su noticed the hesitation in Ying Chenlin's words and explained, "It is indeed a super S in evolution, but now it is at best an S-level pollutant with a high pollution value. You can't see anything about it. It is probably evolved from some mutated plant on this planet. It can only grow to this level with special abilities. But one thing is that the body of this pollutant should not be strong."
Ying Chenlin asked: "Not strong?"
"With so much energy flowing, even if there is an energy leak, 10 years is enough to raise this pollutant to Super S level." You Su kicked the pollutant. The information from the Star Alliance was very detailed, and basically supplemented the evidence of some of their conjectures. "This is just a normal domain of Super S level, but it is a fake domain... There is only one possibility for the evolution to fail, that is, its genetic upper limit is not high, and it can only grow to this point at most."
Just as a mecha pilot's genes have both innate factors and acquired development possibilities.
However, the upper limit of how high a species can grow is actually determined by its innate genes. Super S-level pollutants are very rare. There are many pollutants that want to evolve into the legendary super S-level, but in fact, there are only a handful of records in the Star Alliance over the years.
"Is that so?" Ying Chenlin asked.
You Su raised his eyes slightly, "Don't believe me?"
"I just feel that it's a bit strange. If the upper limit of this pollutant is not high, then how can it grow so fast?" Ying Chenlin pondered for a moment, "This is a bit contradictory."
"It's not impossible. It can transform energy, converting the energy it obtains into another type of energy that is more suitable for its growth, thus promoting growth into a virtuous cycle."
Wen Yi followed the two people's train of thought and continued, "When Slarede rioted ten years ago, it should have grown during that time. Pollutants rioted, and the competition and death of pollutants can provide more energy. Don't forget that we saw the second layer of pollutant ice tombs. Some of them died a long time ago and have been completely sucked dry by it."
When Ying Chenlin heard Wen Yi say this, he temporarily accepted this statement. It seemed to be the most reasonable explanation so far.
You Su glanced at Ying Chenlin slightly, and the boy fell into a brief silence. Based on his understanding of Ying Chenlin, when he was not talking, he was thinking about something. "If you don't understand, ask someone when you get out. Doesn't the border soldier named Qiu know a lot about pollutants?"
Ying Chenlin paused, then continued, "I didn't understand why, but it felt like the growth of this pollutant seemed to have accelerated."
There have been so many areas contaminated by riots over the years, how come Slarede has gotten so out of control?
Moreover, two passages appeared under Slarede that could extend to further underground. If the pollutant ice tomb on the upper layer was to provide energy and shelter for other pollutants, then what was the purpose of this ice cave passage on the lower layer that only had blue hearts and volcanic rocks?
The blue heart itself is so weak that it has no attack capability without its roots, so it is unreasonable to leave such a large channel.
In the cockpit, when the boy mentioned acceleration, You Su's usually lazy eyes suddenly showed some doubt. His hand hovering on the weapon joystick paused for a moment, as if he thought of something.
Theo, who was always noisy, was silent for two seconds, then said, "Yousui? If it speeds up, is that it?"
You Su's face was terribly cold. He glanced at the remaining energy in Theo's cabin and said, "It better not be."
"Ah! Don't think about these things. If you guys aren't anxious, I'm going to die of anxiety." Zhao Lejie pointed at the pollutants on the ground. "Everyone above is fighting for this thing. Aren't you KIDs good at removing pollutants? Can you find a way to kill this pollutant first? I'll be uneasy if it's not dead in a second."
Ying Chenlin did not notice You Su's silence. His attention was all on the radar system and the blue heart. He came back to his senses when he heard Zhao Lejie talking.
Qi Sicheng frowned: "This defense is not easy to deal with. We have been trying to tear it down for so long, but it has only been damaged a little bit."
Zhao Lejie: "??? No, I thought we had already figured out a countermeasure when we ran away with this thing."^
Lin Yao: "Ah? What countermeasures are you thinking of? If we can run away with them, then of course we should run away with them first!"
"That's right, take the things first, and think about other things later." Ji Qingfeng couldn't help but say one more sentence: "You Jifeng just think too much. Take one step at a time and then look at it again. You can go a long way."
Zhao Lejie: “…”
Qi Sicheng: "Thank you, that does make sense."
Ji Qingfeng: "You're welcome. Let's discuss more in the future and make progress together."
Zhao Lejie looked at the two mechas running together in front of him: "Boss, if you are threatened by him, just blink."
While he was speaking, Ying Chenlin's Flowing Fire Sword had already been inserted into the blue heart again. His sight stopped at the blue liquid flowing out of the blue heart. "There was no solution before, but there is now."
"The information says that this pollutant transmits energy through roots, not manipulation abilities." Ying Chenlin's Flowing Fire Sword locked onto the severed roots of the blue heart. He didn't know before that this thing contained purified energy. Now he knows: "It's not connected to the external roots now, so the roots inside its inner wall are all purified energy?"
When Ying Chenlin said this, the others reacted instantly.
"We just cut in the wrong place." Ying Chenlin locked onto the main root of the blue heart. "Since it's hard to cut in from the outside, let's just follow the main root and blast it open."
The Flowing Fire Sword with 100% concentrated energy chopped down fiercely. Two consecutive sword strikes barely opened a small gap, and blue blood flowed out along the sword's edge. Ying Chenlin found two of the internal roots, and the Flowing Fire Sword changed its direction slightly and stabbed into one of the small roots fiercely.
At this time, he controlled the fire source on the Flowing Fire Sword to flow, and the suddenly burning fire source pierced into the blood vessels along the roots, instantly making a crackling sound, and blasted a small deep pit on the surface of the blue heart, and a large amount of blue liquid splashed out.
Zhao Lejie: “!”
Ying Chenlin: "It seems to work."
"The next displacement will begin in three minutes. If you really can't make it, wait three minutes later--" Wen Yi reminded.
At this time, You Su suddenly asked: "Ignite the roots inside, right?"
Ying Chenlin had just blasted a hole and was about to dig deeper into it, "Well, we need to open up a little more distance."
Zhao Lejie suddenly saw KID walking towards him with a gun. He was so frightened that he dodged to the side involuntarily. Just as he dodged, the energy cannon of the red and white mecha was aimed at the deep pit that had just exploded. The muzzle was completely against the blue heart. The next second, a violent muffled bang was heard, and it blasted an inch inside with a bang.
The bombardment was not over yet. You Su's energy cannon was charged again, and the 100% energy cannon bombarded at close range, and with a bang, it continued to penetrate an inch inside. You Su's multifunctional energy cannon uses the steel cannon of the steel-winged bird. Due to the special nature of the muzzle, this energy cannon can have two uses. The reaction force caused by its close-range attack will be particularly obvious.
The gunner mecha standing on top of the blue heart was not worried at all about the rebound damage that might be caused by the close-range bombardment of the energy cannon.
He skillfully controlled the attack power of the shells, one after another, hitting the depths of the blue heart inch by inch.
The beating blue hearts were all suppressed under his feet, unable to beat at all.
Zhao Lejie was standing nearby and was splashed with blue blood. Listening to the muffled bang that was so close, he got goose bumps all over his body.
Doesn’t this person’s hand hurt? ! How strong must his arms be to be able to control the close-range attack of that weapon! ? It’s better to keep it close and hit it hard. It will make you numb from the shock, okay?
Wen Yi looked at You Su deeply, and this man's attitude changed.
At this time, You Su, who was standing on top of the blue heart, said, "Ying Chenlin, come over and set fire."
When Ying Chenlin got closer, he saw that part of the skin was completely exposed, and the roots deeply buried in the polluted flesh and blood were particularly obvious. Without hesitation, he inserted the Flowing Fire Sword into a relatively rough root. Once it penetrated, the pollutants underneath began to struggle violently.
Wen Yi, who was standing next to him, fired an ice shot to freeze the pollutants. "Zhao Lejie, block it!"
Zhao Lejie understood what he meant. He recovered from his shock and stood in front of You Su and Ying Chenlin, shielding him while leaving room for Ying Chenlin to operate.
The moment the Flowing Fire Sword penetrated completely, a powerful fire source spread along the roots. He heard crackling and loud explosions, and a large amount of blood splattered on his shield. By the time the explosions stopped, the blue pollutant in front of him had several layers of its outer skin blown off. A large amount of blood and flesh splattered all over the ice, but was quickly absorbed by the volcanic rocks below.
This time, the one chosen was a relatively thick root, which should be the more important main vein inside the blue heart. The explosion directly blew off one-third of the individual. Ying Chenlin peeled off the flesh and blood. This time he was not blocked by the strong defense. As soon as he peeled it open, he saw a strange blue energy crystal inside that connected various veins.
There were roots and flesh connected to the supernatural crystal. Before Ying Chenlin could make a move, You Su fired another shot, which exploded the veins around the supernatural crystal. Blue blood sprayed all over Ying Chenlin's mecha's face. The muzzle of the wind steel cannon was placed in front of the supernatural crystal, penetrating into the flesh and blood and pushing the supernatural crystal towards Ying Chenlin.
You Su: "Pick it up, let's go."
Ying Chenlin looked at the mecha next to him with a little surprise, "Oh, okay."
Is it his illusion? He felt that You Su was a little different.
Just when Ying Chenlin dug out the supernatural crystal, Wen Yi beside him suddenly said, "Oh no, SLY has caught up with us."
In the radar system, near the coordinates representing Yao and Lizi, a mecha with a signal representing SLY appeared around them. It was SLY captain Alice.
Ying Chenlin shouted sharply: "Lin Yao!"
On the other side of the lowest ice cave in Slared, a giant hammer cracked the entire ground, and the light red mecha landed in front of the two mechas at a rapid speed. The battle was about to break out in an instant.
Chi Liz's flying rope was hooked above the ice cave. Lin Yao flexibly stepped back a few steps, and the two of them avoided the attack of the light red mecha in the first possible time.
After the giant hammer fell to the ground, the light red mecha stepped on the hammer, completely blocking the way forward for Lin Yao and Chi Liz.
Chi Liz paused for a moment, then set up the sniper gun and aimed it at Alice.
At this time, Lin Yao beside him was one step faster than him and landed in front. He switched the normal attack knife in his hand to a space stick. He swept the long stick horizontally and swept straight towards Alice who was standing with the hammer, sweeping away the broken roots all over the ground.
Seeing this, the light red mecha retreated two steps and avoided the strong and fierce long stick.
The battle between the two mechas was about to begin. Alice held the hammer and said in a cheerful tone, "Are you playing with long weapons?"
The author has something to say:
