"By the way, Meimei, I remember you also have a mecha, don't you?"
When Mingmei first appeared in the mecha, quite a few people saw it, but after that, Mingmei never mentioned the mecha to anyone again.
As Lu Xiaoyao asked this question, several mechs were making repairs on a small satellite with rugged terrain, suitable for concealment.
"Well, anyway, Ah Chen's mecha is still usable. If the mecha is damaged later, I'll have a backup plan." Mingmei gave a simple reason, which confused Lu Xiaoyao. She felt that Mingmei was right, but something seemed off.
After all, she didn't know that the bright and beautiful brocade dress was a single seat.
Unlike most of the mechs present.
If the Subo mech were actually destroyed in the game, Mingmei wouldn't even be able to save Mu Chen.
"That's true. Our mechs are all worn out, and there's no place in the game to repair them. It gets harder and harder as the game progresses. Having a replacement option is definitely a good thing."
Hu Yue and the others actually believed Mingmei's statement, but Li Yuan said, "But in that case, with two people in one mecha, won't we seem a bit intimidating when we encounter the Zerg outside?"
"Won't they think we're too few to handle?"
It's not impossible that Li Yuan said that.
"We only have this many in total. Even if we take them all out, it's still less than ten, right?" Dong Lei thought it through. "For some large Zerg, four or five of us makes no difference compared to two or three."
"Wait for me, we need to contact other players." After everyone finished chatting, Mu Chen gave them a new target.
"Compared to playing as the Zerg, playing as a human soldier, one person's strength is much smaller. If we don't unite, we might end up even faster than when we were playing as the Zerg."
Everyone present agreed with Mu Chen's words, which also exposed their weaknesses—lack of cooperation and unity.
They might be able to fight in small groups, but dealing with the Zerg can never be a battle between just a few people.
…Beyond the game…
"What's the use of worrying? You only learn by suffering losses, right?"
Hu Mingli accepted the video call from Mei Qiu and scoffed at her concern for his younger sister's recent situation: "We only set off this morning. Even if there's a wormhole for warp jumps, don't you think it's a bit much that you're asking me if your sister has arrived after only half a day?"
Hu Mingli, who had just come out of the training room, was wearing only a thin layer of clothing, and his muscles were clearly visible underneath. He was wiping away sweat as he answered the other person's question.
Of course I know my sister hasn't arrived yet, but..."
Even though Hu Mingli had grown into a troublemaker over the years, Mei Qiu went straight to the point: "What exactly were you thinking when you sent these students to your place in advance?"
"It's a test."
Mei Qiu was almost amused by Hu Mingli's nonchalant attitude, but the fact that Mu Chen was still around gave her some peace of mind.
"Speaking of which, I heard that the game you had your uncle develop was used on those students today."
"Hey! Mei Qiu, so you're a siscon?"
Hu Mingli kept asking Mei Qiu whether Mingmei had arrived or not, and he was concerned about why she had to come here so early. Now she even interfered with their games?
"No, I didn't, I didn't." Mei Qiu denied it three times in a row, then remembered what his parents had told him, and for a moment he had a headache again.
Why are sons always picked up from garbage dumps?
When there's trouble, the son steps up; when there's no trouble, the daughter is obedient.
"I'm just reminding you not to go too far. I naturally trust my sister's abilities, but you have other newcomers here. If you take the joke too far and anger someone, don't blame me."
"Tch, why would I need to come to you if I did something wrong?"
Ignoring Mei Qiu's reminder, Hu Mingli curled his lips and said, "Flowers in a greenhouse can only transform after being baptized by storms."
Mei Qiu did not refute this, but if possible, he hoped that the flower could continue to enjoy the beauty of the greenhouse.
"You've asked me so many questions, I'm curious, what are you really up to by sending your sister here?" This time, Hu Mingli finally asked Mei Qiu, "If you were really worried about the safety of Hua Lan Star, you shouldn't have continued recruiting new soldiers this year. Your sister is worried, but what about other people's children?"
"You also believe that Hualan Star will fight?"
Mei Qiu stood in the control room of the starship, gazing at the boundless sea of stars, and was filled with emotion.
"I wonder if they were intimidated by my past achievements..."
The story of Mu Chen single-handedly defeating an entire Zerg army and killing the Zerg Queen is still talked about by many people.
Even Hu Mingli himself was ashamed of his own shortcomings in this regard.
Mei Qiu's heroic act of annihilating everyone back then also came at the cost of countless lives. If possible, Hu Mingli would never want to end up in such a situation.
Countless people died, and in the end only Mei Qiu survived. How many people died behind the applause and flowers?
Even Mei Qiu herself was unwilling to mention the past or anything that had happened back then.
Even Hu Mingli had wondered if he were to reach that point, whether he could unleash the same astonishing combat power as Mei Qiu, perhaps ultimately dying in battle, with the fortress completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind when the bad news reached the rear, just like what happened to the Federation many years ago...
"Are you reminiscing about my glorious achievements? What are you doing here?" Mei Qiu knew perfectly well that Hu Mingli wasn't thinking about these things, but he still couldn't help but joke.
"What are you thinking about?" Hu Mingli rolled his eyes, put on his coat, and then seemed to remember something. "By the way, how are the legions sent by the Federation and the Empire getting along with you?"
"What? The Fifth Legion isn't yours, why are you worried?" The Fifth Legion is the one that came to Hualan Star to garrison this time, and their leader, Qiao Xiyu, is known for being meticulous and strict.
Mei Qiu and the others came from the same school in their early years. Qiao Xiyu was two years younger than Hu Mingli, but she was known for being stubborn in school.
The key is that she's both stubborn and a good fighter. Back then, she wasn't very popular, not to mention all these years. With Qiao Xiyu's bad temper, she doesn't have many good friends.
He seemed very difficult to get along with.
Knowing Mei Qiu's wicked nature, he was eager to put the Federation and the Fifth Legion together so they could set up a fighting arena!
"I'm just saying, I've heard that the commander-in-chief sent by the Federation of Caihua Blue Star is quite powerful."
"Is there?"
Mei Qiu raised an eyebrow. He hadn't seen anything special about Charlotte, the commander-in-chief of the federal garrison. Apart from training and fighting, Charlotte was usually a very quiet person.
He enjoyed reading and had a good temperament. He had wondered if the Federation and the Empire would go to war, but they managed to coexist peacefully.
