"What happened? Did Hualan Star explode?"
Ming Qi was speechless at the "warm greeting" he heard from his mother as soon as he made the video call.
"No."
"What is it? Your father and I are on our way, don't delay us from rescuing you."
Ming Qi: "..."
For a moment, Ming Qi, who hadn't even asked a question, was so bewildered by his mother that he seriously doubted whether he was really that bad at the game and needed his parents to save the day.
Wait a moment.
Ming Qi suddenly remembered that this was exactly what he wanted to ask!
"The Queen Mother Insect...she asked our family for crystal cores." Qianqian Xiaoshang
"Whose crystal core is it?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the crystal core of the Blue Star from that plane that the mainframe restored for you before?"
After Ming Qi finished speaking, he was met with a long silence from the other side.
"mom?"
"No, tell her to just come and fight me. Wait, this was given to me by the mainframe! Tell her to go find the mainframe!"
When Ming Qi heard Mei Shi say she didn't have it, he thought to himself, "Just as I thought." After she finished talking about finding the mainframe, Ming Qi said, "The other party said to let them find the mainframe, and the mainframe said it was given to you."
Mei Shi: ? ? ?
Is this human language?
...
The damage to Mingmei's mech made the ground-based mech maintenance personnel shake their heads.
They risked so much to stay behind and protect the soldiers on the front lines.
No one expected that this would be such a technical challenge.
"The materials used to build your mecha are not particularly common, and there are special alloys involved. It was repaired once before, but we used all the usable materials possible."
The repairman never expected to see this mech twice in one day. Last time he repaired it, he was amazed that it was lucky that the mech could be repaired in such a short time. Now, luck may come once, but it's probably not going to come again.
"So you have the materials to fix it?" Mingmei asked calmly.
"Hmm. That's good enough." The mecha repairman patted his chest and said confidently, "We're all acquaintances, don't you trust my skills?"
Mei Shi, who suffers from partial face blindness: ?
“Um…then I’ll provide the materials myself…” Mingmei nodded hesitantly, and under everyone’s surprised gazes, she slowly took out a spatial button from her bosom, which contained the repair materials that her uncle had prepared when he gave her this mecha.
It was as if she had foreseen that she would face this matter sooner or later.
"This, this..."
Now it was the other party's turn to be somewhat incoherent. He glanced at the repair materials and types in the spatial button, enough to make several more of these mechs.
They were beyond shocked; even when they looked at Mingmei, their gazes were as if they were looking at a walking mountain of gold!
So, there's such a big spender in their group?
While the group of people were busy repairing the mechs, Mingmei drank nutrient solution and looked around. Just as the mech repairman had said, many people had been moved to the underground fortifications long ago.
Even so, Mingmei still saw some very unfamiliar people in the crowd nearby, or rather, people who shouldn't have been on land at all.
Why didn't those people from the Federation go down?
Mingmei must have seen correctly.
Even though they were dressed casually, Mingmei could still tell that they had a different air about them than ordinary people.
In addition, she had glanced at Julian twice during the earlier gathering.
The group of Federation soldiers around Julian looked quite familiar.
In the bright sunlight, several Federation soldiers stood there, their eyes filled with seriousness and anxiety.
Mingmei could clearly see people looking up at the sky through them from time to time.
Logically speaking, shouldn't they have moved to the underground office with Julian?
However, upon mentioning this, Mingmei naturally began to observe even more.
She didn't see Julian, nor did the middle-aged man who had previously appeared to be quite distinguished beside him.
"Aren't those people over there from the Federation? What are they doing here?"
Mingmei struck up a conversation with the repairman as if it were casual chat.
"We don't know about them either. They just didn't go down. Maybe they saw the situation was bad and ran away. Who knows?"
The repairmen also had no idea what was going on with these people from the Federation.
When they were moving underground, their empire prioritized the Federation's relocation. Who knew these people would go crazy like that? Instead of going down, they just stood there guarding the place.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think they were worried about some kind of ambush down there, worried that we would bury them."
It's truly a case of biting the hand that feeds you; they don't appreciate kindness.
"Then... what about that young man, the president's son? Wasn't he moved down either? I haven't seen him."
Mingmei asked again, and the other person replied, "Who knows? Maybe he went down first, and these soldiers are up there. But if what you're saying is true... could it be that he's planning to come up here to help us?"
I don’t know if it’s because mecha repairmen think differently from others, but Mingmei remembers that she didn’t say much.
Why did their attitude towards the federal government change so much?
Is it all based on imagination?
Mingmei was unsure whether to continue talking to them to find out what was going on; she had already sensed that something was amiss.
Wherever Julian is, that group of people will definitely be there.
How could they possibly have assigned some people here? Unless—
Mingmei suddenly thought of another possibility: Could Julian have charged up again?
Thinking about it this way, Mingmei couldn't stay calm either. She was pretty sure that the reason he rushed out earlier was most likely because of her father.
Last time, it wasn't because he had a sudden lapse of judgment and rushed out on his own.
But this time her parents had already left; this was Julian's own initiative.
Mingmei recalled the reason they moved underground, and then thought about the situation Lu Xiaoyao had faced before. Suddenly, she understood why Julian had rushed out.
However, all of the above are just Mingmei's own thoughts.
She hadn't seen Julian appear at all.
However, Mingmei remembered Julian's mech's characteristic: stealth.
With such a mech capable of extremely concealing its form, unless something happens to Lu Xiaoyao, it's impossible for her to be discovered by the Zerg and become a sitting duck for them.
With this in mind, Mingmei felt much more at ease about Lu Xiaoyao's subsequent actions.
After putting Lu Xiaoyao at ease, Mingmei's desire to return to the battlefield grew even stronger.
Immediately afterward, the mecha repairman next to him, who had just been talking to Mingmei, stopped talking after a while. His desire to talk, which had been dangling in his throat, was now hanging in the air because of Mingmei. He was about to say a few more words when he was met with Mingmei's icy gaze and the words, "Go fix your mecha."
