Chapter 25
Chapter 25
There was a strange pause in the voice communication.
Lin Yao: "Are you hallucinating?!"
Ji Qingfeng said angrily: "Don't I even feel anything when someone touches my feet?"
The sensation of the limbs was transmitted to Ji Qingfeng's body through the mental tentacles in the cockpit. The mecha pilot empathized with the mecha when driving it. The empathetic nerves could accurately convey the five senses. The deeper the empathy, the more he could feel the changes in the mecha, including the pain of being attacked and changes in the surrounding environment.
Moreover, the thing that was pulling him was quite strong, and the feeling of its influence on him became more obvious.
Ying Chenlin was paying attention to the radar and noticed a weak signal superimposed below the coordinates of Ji Qingfeng's mecha, "Wait, there's something."
At this time, a request from a strange mecha to establish communication popped up in front of the few people.
Ying Chenlin then saw the mecha attached
A call came from the proximity channel.
[Mecha Gale-zhao: Are you alive, brother? ? ]
Generally speaking, each mecha has its own unique number when it leaves the factory, which is the special identification of the mecha. This special number represents a competition-level mecha, which is an identification generated by the ID of the mecha base or mecha pilot.
It means the mecha with the ID of Zhao from the Gale Base.
"Isn't this Zhao Lejie from the Swift Wind?" Ji Qingfeng was stunned: "I remember that the mecha master from the Swift Wind Base seemed to have come in a while earlier than us?"
The mecha division of Gale Base came in to provide support later and was not the one that disappeared at the beginning.
You Su switched to the nearby communication channel, and a voice suddenly emerged from the communication voice.
"Finally there's a living person. I said the movement on the top must be correct. Which base are you from?" Zhao Lejie's voice appeared in the communication channel: "Brother, I'm holding you, rescue me out, I'm sinking down there."
Ji Qingfeng: “…”
It turned out that it was this ghost thing that was pulling him from below.
Lin Yao was surprised and asked, "How did you sink to the bottom?"
"This ID, you are KID's people!" Zhao Lejie noticed the mecha code popping up in the system and reacted.
Ying Chenlin switched to the nearby public channel and heard Zhao Lejie's voice, "Have you separated from the people at the Gale Base?"
Zhao Lejie couldn't quite tell who was KID's mecha master, but he paused when he saw four mechas appear in the nearby channel. "We encountered a strong wind when we arrived at this place, and then the five mechas in our base got separated. When I reacted, I was already in the sand. No other methods worked. This pollution source directly pulled me in."
Pull it in… ? Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao were stunned for a moment, but they were not dragged down.
Ji Qingfeng: "Isn't this just sand? How can it pull people?!"
Lin Yao: "We just sank down, and it seemed like we weren't being pulled."
Zhao Lejie didn't quite understand what he said. Does this thing depend on the person he is dealing with? Is he the only unlucky one?
"Energy, turn off your external energy first." Ying Chenlin explained: "The pollution value here is obviously wrong. Ordinary quicksand is generally limited in depth and will not allow the mecha to sink to such a deep place."
"Oh! So at the beginning you asked us to unload the external energy." Lin Yao suddenly realized.
Ying Chenlin knew that this phenomenon could not be explained by common sense. What they encountered were multiple quicksand vortexes that were blessed by high-intensity pollution sources. It had certain characteristics of quicksand, but could not be completely solved by the principles of ordinary quicksand.
But this kind of quicksand is different from the common quicksand. After being blessed by the factor of the polluted area, this kind of quicksand is more like a whirlpool underneath. It is calm on the surface, but can swallow up the mecha secretly.
The pollution source has a pollution value of up to 6800. Since it is a pollution source, the purpose of this thing carrying them down is very clear, and that is the energy carried by the mecha.
The mecha itself is a collection of various highly pollutant-refined substances. With the blessing of energy and mental strength, it is a walking prey.
If there is a pollution source under the quicksand, then devouring them is almost like eating, and we will naturally not let them go when we encounter them.
After Zhao Lejie removed the external energy, he indeed felt that the pressure on his body was relieved a little.
But it was just a relief. He still couldn't get out, and the sand had almost seeped into the inside of his mecha.
At this time, the restraints that were carrying a weight that they shouldn't have to bear became tighter, making a sound of being unable to bear the weight.
Ji Qingfeng: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to save you. If you pull me again, we will all die here."
Zhao Lejie: "What do you mean?"
The restraints tightened even more, and Ji Qingfeng felt as if his heart was cut by a knife: "You are pulling my lifeblood, can you be gentler?"
Zhao Lejie relaxed a little awkwardly and said, "Huh?"
Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes and observed everything around him. Just as he was thinking of a solution, the mecha next to him suddenly moved. You Su didn't say anything. After escaping from the quicksand, he moved to Ying Chenlin's side and pulled the restraints for him. The pressure on his arms was suddenly relieved.
Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao who were floating on the surface were easy to rescue, but Zhao Lejie at the Gale Base was almost at the bottom. It was not impossible to rescue them, but it would be a waste of time.
But since Zhao Lejie removed the external energy source, the S-level pollution source below seemed to have less interest in them, and the pressure attached to the surrounding quicksand also became smaller. Gradually, part of the surrounding sand turned into ordinary yellow sand, and the pressure of thousands of times gradually disappeared.
Taking advantage of this time, Ying Chenlin and Lin Yao left the quicksand, leaving only Ji Qingfeng and Zhao Lejie who was holding Ji Qingfeng. The restraint chain was finally overwhelmed and was taken away by Ji Qingfeng when a damage warning appeared. Fortunately, the distance was shortened, and Lin Yao finally pulled out the long sword, a melee weapon on his mecha, to act as a tool to pull people in.
Zhao Lejie was observing KID's people, or rather, he was observing KID's lineup.
The most important thing is to look at the two A-class mechas. Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao's mechas are easy to recognize. Competition-level mechas basically have mecha logos. When the other party communicated with him on a nearby public channel, Zhao Lejie basically confirmed the identities of the two people.
But the identities of these two people were an established fact, and he was curious about the other two mechas.
From the moment he started communicating with KID, it had been these two mechas that were carrying out the rescue. Judging from the exterior styles of the mechas, they were obviously gunner mechas and guard mechas.
The video of the Banute contaminated area was watched many times by their boss Qi Sicheng. The two non-staff mechas that appeared at that time were quite powerful. Now the window for the transfer of mecha divisions between the bases of the Mecha Alliance has been closed, but KID still has not made any movement.
This quicksand environment is full of uncertainty due to the influence of high pollution. When he was first blown here, he was dragged by the unknown pollution source under the quicksand and was finally pulled to the bottom of the quicksand. But KID did not panic, or even panicked, but found a solution immediately.
Before entering the contaminated area of Tianyu Star, he learned from the staff of the external management bureau that the first batch of mecha divisions that came in included Huo Yan and Lu Xi from KID. These two people were obviously not Huo Yan and Lu Xi, so they could only be other mecha divisions of KID... But the information on the star network showed that there were currently no other active mecha divisions in the KID base.
The mecha pilots behind these two mechas are not ordinary.
Who are these two people...?
Ying Chenlin didn't pay attention to Zhao Lejie. The job of saving people fell on the enthusiastic Lin Yao, so he had time to observe the surrounding situation.
According to the information given to them in advance by the Tianyu Star Administration, base site C should be a city ruin. The base site is built on a high tower in the middle of the ruins. The entire base site is protected by the highest defense system and can withstand attacks from S-level pollutants, so there is no need to worry about damage to the base site at present.
The location of the base station should be nearby...but the key is that the city is now buried in yellow sand, with quicksand whirlpools everywhere and sandstorm tornadoes from time to time.
In the cockpit, Mecha Theo said: "The quicksand that appeared on Tianyu Star is a bit like the swamp we encountered before! Are there a lot of pollutants here? Can we find the energy crystals we want?"
Environmental changes caused by pollution sources are the most difficult to deal with. The target becomes erratic. It is different from focusing on one enemy. To deal with this kind of environmental change, we can only trace the source and find the root cause.
You Su closed the data and his eyes fell on the mecha in the distance.
Ying Chenlin had left the team at some point and gone to a farther ruin, seemingly observing something.
Theo looked out in the direction of his mecha and saw the mecha in the distance: "Why are you always looking at them? This is the polluted area of Tianyu Star! There must be S-level pollutants, maybe we can encounter S-level supernatural crystals."
"Be quiet." You Su said.
Theo shut his mouth in grievance, thinking that others were obviously noisier.
The rescue took longer than expected, and after removing the mental power, it became easier to pull people to save them.
The noisy Lin Yao and Ji Qingfeng finally came out of the quicksand, and pulled out Zhao Lejie who was pressed underneath.
When Zhao Lejie was pulled out, he felt a little uncomfortable in his entire neck. He sat on the ruins and did not dare to activate the energy. "Thank you, it's all thanks to you."
Lin Yao: “The pressure seemed to have been reduced a lot later.”
"Because he turned off the external energy source." Ying Chenlin observed the surroundings and added, "He was originally under us. If he didn't turn off the energy source, he would be a prey. Liusha has been keeping an eye on him."
Beside him, Ji Qingfeng looked at his restraints with a dejected look on his face, completely certain that his 500,000 yuan had gone to waste.
It took Zhao Lejie some time to figure out what was going on. "Isn't it just a restraint lock?"
Ji Qingfeng: "What? Just a restraint lock! Do you know how much I spent?"
"How much? You saved me this time, so I should pay for the repair of the mecha." Zhao Lejie didn't expect that this man was entangled in money. He asked, "3 million star coins?"
Ji Qingfeng didn't say anything.
Zhao Lejie asked again: "What about 3.5 million?"
KID and the others were silent, which made Zhao Lejie a little nervous. Did he report too low... ? ♂
In KID's independent channel, Ji Qingfeng took a deep breath and said, "Their base repaired weapons for 3 million! The boss has never spent so much money to repair my weapons in his life."
Lin Yao had never seen the world before: "Is this the First Dawn Base?"
Ying Chenlin thought for a moment after hearing 3.5 million: "3.5 million can repair seven weapons."
You Su: “…”
KID was still thinking about how much he could do with 3.5 million. Zhao Lejie, who was on the nearby public channel, became even more nervous when he didn't hear anything. "What do you mean?"
Ji Qingfeng was thinking about how much special-priced materials he could get with this money: "Let me think about it."
Zhao Lejie: "Is it too low? What about 4 million?"
KID: “?”
Zhao Lejie cautiously probed: "450...?"
KID: “???”
Ying Chenlin confirmed a fact: "He is very rich."
Ji Qingfeng: "Is he the boy who brings wealth?"
Lin Yao: "There's not even that much money in the ATM at the entrance of our base."
Finally, KID sacrificed Ji Qingfeng's precious bondage lock at a high price of 4.5 million yuan, and was happily sponsored by the sponsor Zhao Lejie.
Zhao Lejie rested for a while, but he couldn't contact other people in the Gale Base. The magnetic field in this place is weird. Short-distance communication can still be established, but the signal cannot be transmitted beyond a certain range.
For now, he could only follow KID and find out the situation of this place first. "What are you planning to do now?!"
He was about to ask KID about the others' plans, but when he turned around he saw KID's other mechas prying the rocks nearby.
"It's not easy to get into the contaminated area of Tianyu Star." Lin Yao stored the A-level materials he pried off into the storage device of the mecha. "Now that I've seen it all, I have to dig up enough to make up for it."
Zhao Lejie turned his head and saw Ji Qingfeng also digging: "..."
Is KID really that poor?
KID was digging for materials, and it didn't delay anything. Lin Yao asked in confusion: "What should we do now? This is the base site C, right? The other mechas won't sink in there? Do we have to dig out the mechas to save people?"
"The mecha master who came in must be strong. With Jifeng and YDS here, they might have already left this place."
Ji Qingfeng said: "Of course, it's really too weak, just pretend I never said that."
Zhao Lejie didn't know why, but after being talked over by these two people, he suddenly felt that he was a loser.
“We can’t save it even if we want to.” You Su’s eyes fell on the distance, where there were quicksand whirlpools and ruins everywhere. “How long did it take you to pull out a mecha? If there is really a mecha sunk underneath, it will be up to us. We won’t be able to search and rescue in time.”
The oxygen inside the mecha can probably sustain the mecha pilot's activities for 7 days. Without consuming any energy, the mecha pilot can survive underground for about 7-8 days.
But this is a high-risk pollution area, and the possibility of energy consumption cannot be ruled out. If the mecha is really dragged under the quicksand, according to the generally excellent physical fitness of the mecha masters,
In an underground environment without any oxygen supplement, it can only survive for 5 days at most.
Ying Chenlin put the pried sandstone into the mecha and explained, "And I just walked around the area and didn't find any signals from other mechas. There are only two possibilities. One is that they can no longer respond to us, and the other is that the others are not here."
Before he could finish his words, a strong wind suddenly blew up around him.
Several mecha masters reacted immediately. Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao stood in front of Ying Chenlin without saying a word, "What's going on?! The wind is blowing again!?"
The wind did not give them any time to chat. Almost the next second after Ji Qingfeng asked the question, a wind suddenly rose from the ground and swept over, with a clear purpose of targeting them.
Zhao Lejie: "Find cover!"
However, this wind could not be solved by ordinary shelters, so Ying Chenlin made a prompt decision and used weapons. He was driving a guard mecha today, and among the weapons he was equipped was his frequently used lightsaber. The sword of light penetrated three inches into the ground, directly passing through the ruins and nailing the mecha firmly to the ground.
After the first wave of wind, the wind became stronger and stronger.
With such wind, it would be difficult for them to move forward, let alone find the location of base station C.
Ji Qingfeng: "We can't move on at this rate, let alone base station C. If we keep consuming more energy, we'll run out and die here."
"We have five mechas coming in quickly. The boss and I are leading a team. We checked the situation nearby before we came. The environment around base station C is almost full of quicksand and strong winds. Before I got separated from the team, we had already reached the tower where point C is located. This ruined city has been covered with sand, but the base station tower has defensive measures that have not been destroyed."
Zhao Lejie also realized the seriousness of the situation. The offensive from the contaminated area continued. Without any external support, all their mechas were trapped. "All our people from the Gale were blown away. We don't know where they are now, but they are probably still near the tower. There are also people from the YDS. It seems that Colin and Hu Luobu have come to their side."
Colin and Hu Luobu, the starting mecha masters in YDS, are very powerful.
Zhao Lejie and Qi Sicheng came to Jifeng, and Ke Lin and Hu Luobu came to YDS.
Ji Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "This lineup is not bad at all. How did you get blown here alone?"
Zhao Lejie didn't really want to mention this matter, so he continued, "If we can restore the detection equipment at point C, we might be able to get in touch with the outside world."
"You can't leave like this." Lin Yao looked at the quicksand in the distance. "You can't control it when you're flying. It's easy to fall into the sand if the wind blows you, and then be swallowed again."
The problem is now before everyone, and the only solution is to go to the high tower at base station C, restore the system at point C, and get in touch with the outside world. The road to point C is full of difficulties. The wind can blow them into quicksand at any time. They cannot risk flying and can only crawl forward.
But there may not be any cover on the way forward, and perhaps they won't be able to go far at all.
The wind has blown far away and may come back from time to time.
Just as everyone was thinking about how to solve this problem, Ying Chenlin pulled out the lightsaber from the ruins and said casually, "This is easy to solve."
You Su glanced sideways at the mecha next to him.
Zhao Lejie was surprised and asked: "Do you have a solution?!"
"If the threat is too great, then we can only get rid of the quicksand first." Ying Chenlin looked at the information about the contaminated area of Tianyu Star included in the mission details and said simply, "Without the quicksand, isn't it easier?"
