Chapter 9
On the other side of the forest, Ying Chenlin saw the contaminated area rescue mecha rushing from afar, and slightly controlled his mental power output and hid among the forest.
Now that people from the administration have arrived, they will most likely clear the contaminated area.
Ying Chenlin didn't want to leave the contaminated area for the time being, so he could only avoid the patrolling mechas. He shut down the mechas' excess energy consumption and carefully counted his gains.
The body of the Sharp-toothed Rat is still in the internal storage space of the mecha. The Sharp-toothed Rat is a Class B pollutant, and the most useful part of its body is its sharp teeth. Apart from that, the only thing left is the deep red crystal carried by the Sharp-toothed Rat.
"It looks like a high-level energy crystal, but I'm not sure what it is." Ying Chenlin spoke involuntarily. He glanced at the mecha Yuan on the side of his neck, but the latter did not react at all. "Will you be able to use this thing?"
The mecha key did not respond at all.
Yuan is a single-soldier mecha, and the core of its main weapon is an S-level supernatural crystal.
In order to build a mecha suitable for his current stage, and also to take on Yuan's intelligence, he has to choose a weapon core that is slightly inferior to the S-level supernatural crystal, and it must also suit his combat habits. Auxiliary supernatural crystals are basically useless.
[Unable to detect the item, please try again. ]
Ying Chenlin used the detection system to test this thing again, but the results prompted were all contamination detection. The crystal that cannot be detected can only be a supernatural crystal that carries supernatural powers. The level of this thing is obviously higher than that of a B-level sharp-toothed rat. How could such a supernatural crystal appear in the Banut contaminated area? Being carried by a sharp-toothed rat again?
The red crystal has a strange lightning flash, and its power is unpredictable.
As he was thinking, he suddenly noticed the holes that appeared at the place where he was staying... They had been there since the periphery. Those vines chased the rats all the way to the periphery. Could it be that they were not chasing the mutant sharp-toothed rat, but the supernatural crystal carried by the sharp-toothed rat... ?
Ying Chenlin suddenly thought of something and glanced deep into the woods, which was the direction where the vines had just retreated.
He drove the mecha deep into the woods, but did not notice the deep red energy crystal emitting a faint light near the body of the sharp-toothed rat.
At the same time, the black and red mecha key under his collar lit up briefly.
-
Outside the contaminated area, all kinds of information almost overwhelmed the administration.
An emergency report of abnormal pollution values popped up on the monitoring system, and people in the management area were coming and going with anxious looks on their faces.
"The mechas outside the contaminated area have been basically cleared out. There are still some mechas that have entered the deep area, and the rescue team has also gone there to help."
The head of the Administration Bureau stared at the monitor with a serious look in his eyes, "Clear out all the mecha pilots you see. This mutation is special and the pollution value fluctuates greatly. Don't let any casualties occur."
The emergency reports on the detection system never stopped, which gave them a great sense of pressure. If there is a problem in the Banut pollution area, then the citizens' safety area outside the pollution area will be affected, and then the problem will be serious.
"Have you checked the location where the pollution value reported is 6,000?" The person in charge looked at a place on the map, but the pollution value there had dropped to the average value: "Have you found any pollution source?"
According to the alliance's pollution source report, a pollution value of more than 3,000 in the polluted area will indicate A-level pollutants, while a pollution value of 6,000 will be reported as S-level pollutants.
Since the anomaly in the Banut contaminated area, they have only detected 6,000 contamination values in three stages, one was when they first received the report, and the other was not long ago.
The staff member said: "No, we only rescued a team of mecha divisions there. According to them, the target they killed was only a B-level sharp-toothed rat."
At this time, someone else rushed in from outside the door, "Boss, teams from other galaxies are here too. They received news from us and want to apply to enter the contaminated area."
The person in charge's expression changed slightly. How many people wanted to join in the fun at Banut?
It seems that word of the possible presence of S-level contaminants has spread.
The thin man who was listening to the news nearby stepped forward and said, "Director Liu, since you asked us for help first, if there really is an S-level pollution source, the share of the profits should also fall on us, right, Boss Shen?"
The man suddenly looked at Shen Xingtang who was standing beside him without saying a word.
Shen Xingtang glanced at him and said nothing more.
When an S-level pollution source appears, regardless of what kind of pollutants are at the center, everyone who receives the news will want to get a piece of the pie. After all, the supernatural crystals produced by the S-level are treasures that cannot be bought or sold.
As she was thinking, she suddenly noticed the contact request that popped up on the light brain, "Excuse me first."
The lean man laughed, "KID has not been as good as before in recent years. He only sends two people for a mission like this."
The person in charge looked at Shen Xingtang deeply. At this moment, the detector in the room suddenly showed a high value of 6000——
Shen Xingtang paused for a moment, and when he turned around, the pollution value report had disappeared. The reporting time was only 3 seconds, but the detection system still locked onto the target in an instant.
This new location is not where the rescue team found the sharp-toothed rat, but deeper, near the Banut Deep Area.
The thin man: "Is this S-level pollutant moving? Look at this direction..."
The person in charge said seriously: "Four kilometers further in is the location of the Nine Dragon Vine."
The thin man showed surprise. Doesn't the location of the Nine Dragon Vine mean that it is within their DE range? You should know that everyone in the DE team is now dealing with the Nine Dragon Vine. Ψ
Shen Xingtang frowned slightly, pushed the door open and walked out.
-
Deep in the Banut contaminated area, gray mechas shuttled quickly and chased the vines, and alarms sounded continuously in the field of vision.
In the cockpit, the man had a stern expression, his hair was slightly messy, and two empathic nerves were entangled on his slender fingers.
The pollution level in the mecha continued to soar as it glowed red. The man's eyes were calm and there was no ripple at all, as if he didn't care at all.
There was no extra sound in the quiet cockpit until a female voice sounded.
He finally regained some reaction, "What's the matter?"
The pollution value has soared to 4000. You Su turned off the noisy alarm system and stopped the thrusters of the mecha when he was about to catch up with the vines. He glanced at the new radar field of view, which showed dense red marks of pollutants and the coordinate information of other mechas.
Shen Xingtang's voice was intermittent in the chattering sound.
Shen Xingtang: "Why did you lose contact just now?"
You Su found a high place to stay and looked down at the situation below. "We encountered some problems on the road. What's the situation with the pollution source?"
Deep in the Banut contaminated area, the origin of the advanced mutated pollutant [Nine Dragon Vine] is located.
The mechas floating in the air and surrounding the Nine Dragon Vine... are almost all of the same color. Including others, there are no less than 15 mechas present.
"Ji Qingfeng gave me some information, and it is preliminarily determined that the mutation level of the Nine Dragon Vine is higher than A-level. It is very likely that the A-level is close to the S-level Nine Dragon Vine. This is definitely the supernatural crystal." Shen Xingtang continued: "A is close to S-level. It's worth it for you to make a trip, right?"
"I didn't suffer any loss." You Su pondered for a moment, "But there were a lot of people joining in the fun."
Shen Xingtang asked: "Can't handle it?"
"I didn't drive the mecha here today." You Su said simply.
Shen Xingtang: “……?”
"So what mecha do you drive?"
You Su: "I rented it at the entrance of the contaminated area. The boss rented me his A-class mecha."
Just as he finished speaking, the mecha necklace around his neck shook unwillingly, and tried hard to get out of his collar.
You Su flicked the key back from his collar and added, "It turns out the mecha is broken and I don't want to open it."
"That's troublesome. We only have Lin Yao and Ji Qingfeng here, and they don't drive their own mechas." Shen Xingtang said with a headache: "Not long ago, the monitoring station detected two locations with a pollution value of 6,000. The pollutants this time should be what you want. In the current situation, if it is difficult to deal with, don't force it..."
You Su suddenly interrupted, "What location?"
Shen Xingtang sent him the coordinates, "One is outside the deep area, and the other is 4 kilometers outside Jiulongteng."
You Su saw two coordinates. He had also checked the first one, but when he arrived, he only saw a bunch of sharp-toothed rats. And this second coordinate... is in the same direction as the path he took to get here. "When was the data released?"
"Fifteen minutes ago." Shen Xingtang said.
15 minutes ago... then he might have come across this thing.
You Su looked at the situation below
Before coming here, he received a message from Shen Xingtang and learned that there was a report of a high pollution value of 6,000 in the Banut pollution area.
3000 is an A-level pollution source report, and 6000 is an S-level pollution source report. But judging from the current situation, this Nine Dragon Vine is at best a 4300-level product. Was the high value of 6000 at that time really emitted by this thing?
He listened to Shen Xingtang's voice, observed the situation around him, and was about to establish a communication channel with the rest of KID, but suddenly noticed a mecha with a weak signal 1 kilometer behind him.
The radar map contained in the mecha relies on the mental power emitted by the mecha to capture the mecha information. The signal is too weak. Either the opponent's mental power is very weak, or he is a mecha master who is good at hiding.
You Su remembered this type of signal, which was extremely similar to the signal sent by the melee mecha he encountered not long ago.
He remembered that the opponent's mecha code seemed to be JD1456M... ?
"You just said you were short of people?"
You Su simply said: "Then find another one."
Shen Xingtang: "Can you turn me into a living person?"

Ying Chenlin didn't know what was happening outside. His most direct information point was the real-time pollution value information provided by the mecha system, starting with the rat tide that fled from the periphery of the contaminated area, the mutant vines that suddenly attacked him, and the mecha master he just met on the road...
This allowed him to intuitively learn one piece of information, which was that there must be an extraordinary source of pollution deep in the Banut pollution area.
High-level mutant pollution sources must carry energy crystals, which have always been supplies that mecha masters fight for. This is undoubtedly good news for him who is in urgent need of various materials.
There were obvious marks of turned over soil on the path the mutant vines took to escape, and it didn't take Ying Chenlin long to find the right direction. However, when he was about to approach the center of the peak pollution value, he noticed four or five mechas appearing in the sky not far away.
Mechas of the same color…?
Ying Chenlin frowned slightly. Is the Polluted Area Management Bureau asking for assistance from the teams in the alliance?
The battle situation was a bit chaotic. The 11 yellow mechas almost surrounded the pollutants in the middle. The remaining mechas wanted to enter the inner circle, but they were expelled without distinguishing between friend or foe. Among them, two mechas with red stripes were particularly conspicuous.
Ying Chenlin had seen that color scheme before, in the KID maintenance room not long ago. The polluted area would invite nearby teams to assist in removing pollutants, so the KID located in Sirius would definitely come… Apart from that, the mechas that dominated the field with 12 mechas were most likely the other 16-strong team DE nearby.
But he was a little confused. Why was there a red mecha among the 12 mechas in the enclosure?
At this moment, a reminder popped up in front of him——
[Mecha KF2456G requests to establish communication with you]
