Even with the assistance of their S-class mechs, Mingmei and Muchen were not sent to fight on the extremely dangerous front lines during this great battle.
Even though their mechs are indeed a big plus and their strength is outstanding, in terms of combat experience and teamwork, they still lack a cohesive and reliable team.
There isn't even a small team of a few dozen people.
The commander transferred from the Sixth Army Corps, who was originally stuck outside and could only learn about the situation through the live broadcast, immediately recognized it.
There are only a handful of people like Mingmei who would risk their lives for each other.
This includes Lu Xiaoyao, who is sometimes reliable and sometimes a hindrance.
He did not comment on Lu Xiaoyao's excellent logistical support capabilities, but her performance on the front lines of the battlefield still had many shortcomings.
Despite numerous vulnerabilities, she still appeared on the front lines. Had it not been for the special circumstances of the previous battle, Lu Xiaoyao's appearance might have brought not help, but "disruption."
Although Mingmei and Muchen are a couple with exceptional teamwork and can unleash astonishing power together, if one of them makes a mistake, they could both be eliminated.
Such things do happen.
Like that prince, when he died in battle, his queen rushed to his side. After witnessing his death, she quickly lost her mind, and the couple eventually died together on the battlefield.
This is an irreparable loss, both for the individual family and for the empire as a whole.
This time, the commander ordered Mingmei and her team to retreat to the rear and work alongside a group of veterans.
As for what their partners do, Mingmei feels that they are currently filling in the gaps and making up for any shortcomings.
They killed every single one who broke through the encirclement.
For Mingmei, who had already killed several Zerglings that charged at her, killing one more at this moment was no challenge at all.
This is a stark contrast to her previous treatment of fighting hundreds of Zerg alone.
"Girl, don't let your guard down!"
While Mingmei was distracted, an old soldier piloting the mech next to her subdued a Zerg that was flying past Jinyi.
"Any Zerg that manages to break through must be carrying out an important command mission for the Zerg. Just like this sickle fly..."
The veteran stopped the Zerg, using the immense grip of the mech's robotic arm to crush the sickle fly, which was only the size of the mech's palm, into dust.
"The Third Army Corps underestimated this guy and suffered heavy losses."
"yes."
Mingmei felt a little ashamed that she had overlooked this little guy whose size was completely disproportionate to that of the mecha.
"Keep it up! We're under a lot of pressure too," a senior's deep voice came through the chat. "Don't let your guard down!"
"OK!"
Listening to her senior's advice, Mingmei's expression gradually became serious.
The sounds of gunfire and battle continued to echo above her head, but Mingmei dared not look up.
She was afraid; she was afraid that if she looked up, she would see shattered mechs or fragments of battleships falling amidst the flames.
Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, it eventually crashes to the ground, leaving nothing behind.
Some people were able to jump out of the escape pods immediately, but others, including Mingmei, never saw the escape pods emerge from the explosion.
She dared not look at such scenes again after seeing them once or twice.
"I understand, I know everything," Mingmei said softly, it was unclear who she was speaking to, or what she had truly understood.
In a single day, she learned that the fate of her friends was unknown, and that familiar classmates or seniors had been seriously injured or killed without her knowledge.
After this is over, I'll take you home.
Suddenly, she remembered Sun Yunzhong, whom she had seen at the medical station six months ago when she was resting. He was lying in front of a closed medical pod, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at the person inside.
Mingmei didn't say anything, but went forward and took a look, and saw Dong Lei lying inside with half of her body missing.
The doctor said that even if suicide were enough, given her condition, she would need to stay in the ward for more than six months to recover.
At that time, Sun Yunzhong was unaware of everything that had happened on Hualan Star. Now that he knew, he was torn between his beloved, whose fate was unknown, and his mother, who lived alone on Hualan Star.
There was nothing he could do; the only thing he could do was to bury his feelings for the two most important women in his heart deep inside.
He cannot afford to lose his composure in the face of what is about to happen.
He wants to go back alive; he wants to stay here with his predecessors!
...
When Mingmei came to her senses, she quickly piloted Jinyi and engaged in battle with several Zerg that had come into Jinyi's field of vision!
Just two sickle flies!
Jin Yi raised his hand, his blade-like elbow slashing down on the two "petite" sickle flies, instantly severing them.
"Beep—"
Before Mingmei could even raise the corners of her mouth in a smile, a piercing busy tone suddenly came from the channel!
"senior!"
Mingmei turned her gaze and saw a streak of light, which she couldn't see clearly, flash past her and strike the mecha that had just been talking to her.
In the instant of the explosion, Mingmei felt her mind go completely blank...
...
[Alarm! Alarm! Fireflies have breached the defenses! Fireflies have breached the defenses!]
Mu Chen and another team were also blocking the occasional insectoids that rushed in from the other side of Qilan Star when suddenly the army's alarm sounded in their ears, startling everyone around them!
