Chapter 41
Even Wen Tianyao began to panic.
His knees went weak and he took a step back before he could even react, but he still managed to keep his composure.
Wen Tianyao quickly stood still: "The general is the highest commander here. What if he leaves like this and can't come back?"
"Enable the thickest defense shield, and replace the main gun with a projectile gun. Save as much energy as possible," He Yunting instructed Ye Ling while smoothing out the wrinkles on his collar. "So, Your Highness, do you want to start the battle? Or do you want everyone to be trapped at the jump point together, so that the Zerg can have a choice when it comes time to serve you dinner?"
Even though there was no change in his facial expression, everyone present who knew He Yunting a little knew that the fact that he could say such barbed words almost meant that he was already very angry with Wen Tianyao.
It was obvious that Wen Tianyao was not that stupid. He was subconsciously dissatisfied for a moment, but he still managed his expression: "Then how can I help? Besides, an omega like Mr. Lin should stay on the battleship if he can't drive a mecha."
"According to what I heard, you not only brought your confidants with you when you boarded the ship, but also your own mecha." He Yunting said, "No one will be able to take care of you at that time. Please ask Your Highness to let them protect you and stay in your mecha."
Wen Tianyao owned his mecha when he was an adult. It was considered top-level configuration at the time. However, compared with the mechas with clear positioning, such as close combat, long-range combat or defensive mechas, the mecha that belonged to His Royal Highness the Prince was an all-rounder. But it was not outstanding in any aspect. In other words, it was good-looking but not practical - but for those who did not need to actually participate in the war, it was enough.
"But..." Wen Tianyao wanted to say something.
"Mr. Lin is a pillar of the country." He Yunting glanced at him one last time, not wanting to pay any more attention to him, and turned his attention back to Lin Han.
If others have no time to care for you, then he will do his best to protect you.
He is still waiting for an answer.
The battleship began to rise slowly, and with the defense shield and attack main gun turned on at the same time, the whole battleship shook much more when it started up than when it came, and the yellow sand stirred up by the engine almost submerged half of the field of vision.
"I'll go with you." Lin Han didn't want to keep He Yunting waiting too long. "General, you don't have to protect my safety. Just focus on defending against the enemy."
So He Yunting's impatience just now was calmed down. His eyebrows and eyes were still emotionless, but his voice was softer.
He raised his hand, as if he wanted to do something, but finally took it back.
"Okay," he said.
After receiving the order, the lower level of the battleship has begun to activate the emergency procedures and has begun to prepare all the mechas still on board - because not only 2742, but all the mechas, regardless of function and level, will no longer be given time to train, and the impending war will force them to adapt.
He Yunting began to give orders to Ye Ling and Lu Anhe. Lu Anhe had been with him the longest, so he could understand many things without them being pointed out, which saved a lot of trouble.
"In short, maintain the lowest energy consumption and drive towards the jump point. Make sure to retain enough energy for the jump and the launch energy of the p-1 nuclear fusion particle beam cannon." He Yunting finally instructed, "... at all costs."
"We have just sent a message to the Empire requesting assistance, but even if we set off at full speed, it will still take too long to reach the jump point here."
He Yunting raised his chin and looked at the five giant mechanical sandworms that were still approaching on the display. His tone became solemn and he said to Lu Anhe: "If there are really people who can't be saved, don't save them. Remember, the ultimate goal is for most people to complete the jump and go home together."
Lu Anhe just pursed her lips and looked at him, without saying anything, nor did she need to say anything.
Some people once criticized why the adjutant of a general was only a lieutenant colonel, but anyone who had been to the base knew that it was Lu An's and his own choice.
That is the tacit understanding that comes only after living and dying together.
"I trust your judgment." He Yunting said finally.
Whatever trade-offs and decisions he makes, he believes in them.
He Yunting did not specify when he would return.
Lu Anhe put his legs together and saluted He Yunting: "Yes, sir."
He knew the risks that He Yunting was about to face, and he also knew He Yunting's plan.
——Because in his plan, he had never considered the possibility of making the jump.
He had to face five giant Zergs alone, and while he was fighting, the battleship was retreating at a rapid speed...
No matter how fast the mecha is, it cannot be faster than a battleship at full speed. It is still unknown how many Zerg there are at the jump point. If there are few, the battleship will deal with them quickly and will not wait for He Yunting there, but will start the jump directly. If there are many, then after a p-1 type nuclear fusion particle beam cannon, the jump point will be directly destroyed and can no longer provide jumps.
"Even if...even if we can't make it in time, the communication must not be interrupted," Lu Anhe said, "The support troops will get in touch with us as soon as possible and obtain our location. We will hold on...no problem will happen."
Lu Anhe lowered his head and repeated, "It will be fine."
He didn't want to endure the pain again.
"Yeah." He Yunting simply responded.
"All mechas are in place, and the pilots come to the top deck." He Yunting said into the communicator.
The next second, he opened the door of the captain's room.
He Yunting stood at the door. Behind him was the still devastated sky full of yellow sand and the aggressive giant Zerg. However, his voice was still low and calm, and he showed no fear.
He went against the light, blocking the dangers that were about to sweep over him, called out "Mr. Lin," and said, "Have you thought it through?"
In the brief silence, Lin Han slightly curled the corners of his lips. Those terrifying Zergs didn't seem so scary at this moment.
He took two steps forward and grabbed He Yunting's hand, which was holding the mecha key, without hesitation - that was the action He Yunting wanted to do but failed to complete just now, and it was also the question he asked before the Zerg appeared.
He asked He Yunting if he wanted to hold the hand.
Lin Han's voice was calm and gentle: "Let's go."
And at this moment, he heard He Yunting's voice which he had not yet changed.
[Whatever you choose, I hope you will be safe. 】
-
All pilots were already standing next to their mechas, making final preparations.
He Yunting walked out of the captain's room step by step.
No one looked away, and no one spoke.
They were no longer curious about why Mr. Lin walked with the general towards his mecha. They just wanted everyone to be safe.
"Boss, take care." This time Lu Anhe did not call out his military rank, but instead used his most common title.
He Yunting nodded lightly.
Lu Anhe turned his head again and looked at Lin Han with a somewhat strange look.
It doesn't feel like sadness, but rather like a kind of spontaneous, spontaneous relief and joy that comes from having experienced many things.
"Take care, Mr. Lin."
Lin Han didn't understand why Lu Anhe showed such an expression, but he still smiled at him, wanting to reassure him.
He Yunting walked up to m2742, then turned around and faced everyone's gazes calmly.
He is tall and slender, with a straight back, like a flag that will never fall.
Some people follow him, some people despise him, and some people want to bring him under their wing as a powerful tool in the struggle.
But no matter how others see him, he stands here with his own edge and glory.
He Yunting's expression remained cold, and his azure eyes looked like a distant nebula frozen in ice.
He raised his hand and gave a full, proud military salute to everyone who was watching him amid the smoke and fire of the speeding battleship.
Even Wen Tianyao suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Everyone saluted him back, and just as they bent down, they suddenly heard a strange sound.
A figure rushed towards He Yunting with an extremely abnormal posture and speed, holding some sharp weapon in his hands, or perhaps these hands were the weapon itself.
"Be careful!" Lu Anhe spoke first.
He thought it was another attacker similar to the previous one.
But the previous attacker at least had a weapon, but now this person seemed to want to fight He Yunting with his bare hands.
But He Yunting was faster. He dodged and tried to raise his hand to subdue the other person.
Unexpectedly, the opponent was extremely agile and seemed to be able to guess how He Yunting would retaliate. He rushed over even more quickly and wanted to fight with He Yunting.
He was only wearing thin clothes, which seemed to be full of weaknesses, and yet seemed to have no weaknesses - he himself was a weapon.
He Yunting didn't have time to say anything and barely dodged the man's incredibly fast attack. He took out his service pistol and pulled the trigger at the man without hesitation!
"--Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, accompanied by smoke coming out of the muzzle. The opponent's left arm was hit and the bullet went straight through.
Anyone who is hit by such close-range shooting will be seriously injured, or at least their mobility will be greatly impaired.
He Yunting slowed down and was just about to see who the murderer was and why they chose such a time to strike.
He just moved his wrist -
Unexpectedly, in less than a second, the attacker who was shot accurately stood up without saying a word, covering his left arm that was shot and bleeding.
As if he had an uncanny ability to recover, he acted as if he had never been injured. He swung his left arm and the blood splattered onto Lin Han's white uniform.
Then, just like before, he let out a strange roar from his throat and pounced towards He Yunting even more ferociously.
"Who is this! Catch him quickly!" Lu Anhe shouted loudly and took out the pistol from his waist.
It was not until this time that Lin Han saw the face of the attacker clearly.
The other person was of small stature, with a stiff and ferocious expression, and he didn't say a word.
And there was a deep, old scar on the gland at the back of his neck.
——He had seen this person before, it was Qi Jiaze.
He already showed a strange behavior at that time, but at least he could still understand Qi Jiaze's words and tried hard to call him "brother".
There was no time to think about why he appeared here. With blood still on his face, Lin Han was looking for the figure among the group of new pilots.
Qi Jiaze no longer looks like an omega, or even a normal human being. He is similar to those who tried to assassinate He Yunting before, but he is different. He is no longer a weak omega. He is like a trained weapon, feeling no pain or tiredness. He only wants to kill the person in front of him in a terrifying way.
This is not a solution. There are Zergs waiting in front of the battleship, and suddenly there is an assassination attempt on the deck that seems to be well prepared...
He Yunting fought back while quickly approaching m2742.
"Mr. Lin, follow me." He said to Lin Han, "Let's find a chance to go up."
Lin Han gave up searching and followed him closely.
But Qi Jiaze turned out to be extremely difficult to deal with. No matter how He Yunting attacked him, even after being shot three times, it seemed that just when He Yunting was about to be injured by him -
"Aze!"
Qi Jiamu gritted his teeth and rushed to He Yunting, calling his name non-stop. He then hugged his brother tightly and said to He Yunting, "General, please leave quickly! I can hold him back."
He Yunting had a cold face and wanted to shoot Qi Jiaze who was pestering him again, but was stopped by his brother: "Please, please don't shoot--"
The not-so-normal omega seemed to stop moving the moment Qi Jiamu hugged him.
He Yunting did not hesitate and decisively found the opportunity at this moment. He did not shoot again. He grabbed Lin Han's waist without saying a word and climbed onto his mecha as quickly as possible.
It seemed that Qi Jiaze had not given up the idea of killing He Yunting, but he was held tightly by Qi Jiamu, and only an unbearable, hoarse sound could escape from his throat, but he could not utter a complete syllable.
m2742 started up at the fastest speed - the more important goal was still ahead, and they couldn't be trapped like this.
"Mr. Lin, you should have seen some things." He Yunting calmed his breathing and began to push the mecha forward.
The roar of the engine is deafening. Because it starts too quickly, even with some buffering, it cannot stop the strong feeling of pushing back.
"If I can get rid of these bugs in front of me, I will tell you in detail."
When the mecha rose and left the ground, Lin Han looked back.
The deck was in chaos. The omega failed to attack He Yunting and tried to attack other people like a madman, while Qi Jiamu kept calling his name, saying "Aze" and "Brother is here".
Lin Han thought of the weak boy he had seen before.
At that time, his pupils only shrank slightly, but when he looked back now, Lin Han discovered that -
The boy's eyeballs had turned into vertical pupils at some point in time.
The author has something to say: The second day after I stopped being a night elf
I think I can stop being a night elf this month.
