Chapter 42
Vertical pupils.
That is a typical characteristic of the Zerg.
He didn't know what Qi Jiaze had experienced during this period of time, and whether his brother knew about this. The most crucial question was how such an omega managed to get on the warship.
Lin Han felt a chill all over his body, but still forced himself not to look away, and paid attention to the warship's every move in the remaining time.
He saw that there were three bullet holes on Qi Jiaze's arms and right leg that were still bleeding. They were caused by He Yunting's gun just now.
Even the smell of gunpowder hadn't dissipated yet, but Qi Jiaze continued to struggle nonchalantly, as if he felt no pain.
While calling his nickname, Qi Jiamu tried hard to pray to Lu Anhe, who had already put the gun against Qi Jiaze's forehead again, not to pull the trigger.
The mecha blocked out the sounds from the battleship. Lin Han only saw Wen Tianyao's face full of shock, and Xi Yuan's somewhat subtle expression beside him.
He saw Qi Jiamu's hands clasped tightly, and Lu Anhe moved his lips with a serious expression as if he was saying something.
He saw that the omega who had tried to attack He Yunting just now finally calmed down after being comforted by his brother, but he was still trembling all over and muttering something.
He saw that the Zerg not far away seemed to be getting excited. The two leading sandworms raised their tentacles and sped up their crawling limbs.
He saw the sky getting closer and closer, saw the yellow sand brushing against the cockpit, and saw the sky gradually turning scarlet.
Like a grand and cruel preview.
The battleship retreated at full speed, and soon Lin Han could not even see the iconic railings on it.
He could only see He Yunting's broad back and steady breathing.
It was too urgent just now, He Yunting only had time to pull him out, and both of them were still in the first cockpit.
Lin Han made a note of the vertical pupil incident and wanted to tell He Yunting, but she didn't want to distract him.
Of course, the more crucial thing is that he cannot fly the mecha as perfectly as those excellent pilots, and he is afraid of becoming a burden.
He Yunting raised the mecha to a certain height, and then turned on the operating system one by one.
A mechanical system sound came from the mecha AI.
"M2742, we have reached the appropriate altitude. The self-inspection of the entire aircraft has been completed. The current environment outside the mecha is detected as level D. Please pay attention to protection and choose to open the mecha cabin."
"Open the first cockpit."
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Lin. You don't need to drive." He Yunting tilted his head and said to Lin Han during a break in driving, "But it might be very uncomfortable later. Can you hold on?"
After all, if a real fight breaks out, there will be countless collisions and flights, not to mention the constant changes in positions and the constant feeling of weightlessness, which are unavoidable.
"If the general doesn't mind, I can go to the second cockpit like I did last time." Lin Han's voice was a little apologetic, "But after all, it was the general who instructed me last time. If it were now, I might not be able to drive well."
"Okay." He Yunting responded quickly, "Mr. Lin, you don't have to drive, just protect yourself. The second cockpit has matching equipment, don't worry."
Lin Han responded and walked towards the second cockpit. When he was about to leave, he heard He Yunting say something in a low voice, and he didn't know if he was talking to himself: "After all, it was my selfish desire to have you come here."
Lin Han was stunned for a moment and wanted to say that no, he came here voluntarily.
He couldn't imagine how He Yunting would face these huge monsters alone.
This is also his own selfish desire.
But Lin Han did not answer. Instead, he obediently went to the second cockpit, sat in the driver's seat, and put on his helmet.
The hatch slowly closed, and Lin Han saw He Yunting put his hand on the lever and pulled it to the bottom. The mecha suddenly accelerated, raising a sky full of flying sand, and rushed towards those terrifying creatures.
During the acceleration process, Lin Han began to feel nauseous for a while, but ultimately did not ask for help for fear of disturbing He Yunting. He simply held onto the operating console with his hands, closed the communication with the first cockpit to prevent He Yunting from hearing anything unusual, and began gasping for breath, taking deep breaths, in an attempt to dispel the physical nausea.
And the person in the first cockpit truly began his own battle.
-
The sandworms' target is of course the warships. When the warships begin to retreat, they begin to accelerate, and their mouthparts emit high-decibel noises that make people feel cold all over.
The size of the m2742 fuselage is about the same as that of a giant sandworm. He Yunting's fighting style is different from that of others. He first nimbly dodged the limbs of one of the worms in the sky, then quickly found the right angle, accumulated energy in his right arm, and fired a laser cannon at the tentacles of the sandworm. The dazzling laser light exploded accurately on the tentacles. The sandworm roared and subconsciously waved its front feet to try to disperse the smoke.
The attention of the other sandworms was naturally attracted by the loud noise.
What makes giant sandworms more powerful than ordinary Zerg is their limbs, which have evolved to be longer and harder than ordinary Zerg. They no longer need to move with their abdomens close to the ground, but can choose to crawl using their limbs covered with barbs.
Although these sandworms are considered to be highly evolved, their brutal and bloodthirsty nature remains unchanged, and they are easily angered.
Soon they forgot that the purpose of their trip was the retreating battleship, and instead moved their huge heads, their densely packed compound eyes emitting red light, and began to run towards M2742.
Lin Han originally thought that He Yunting would continue to use this tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, but he did not expect that the next moment, the opponent would suddenly increase the engine speed to full, and without hesitation, use his own fuselage as a bullet and rush straight towards one of the Zergs.
Does he want to use his mecha shell as a weapon?
Lin Han was shocked and looked at He Yunting intently. His movements were still very steady, and judging from the system's instructions, even his mental strength did not fluctuate much.
"boom--!"
With a loud bang, m2742 activated its highest defense shield just before hitting the sandworm, and attacked the sandworm's abdomen directly!
The next second, the mecha began to accumulate power, and Lin Han felt a violent impact -
That is He Yunting's mental power.
Ordinary pilots compete on operational skills, mid-level pilots compete on combat skills, and the top pilots compete on mental strength.
The higher the level of mental power, the higher the degree of compatibility with the mecha, and then these metals can truly play their role in his hands.
Lin Han couldn't see the other party's expression, but he could deeply feel the other party's will and determination to win.
During the brief pain of the sandworm, M2742's right arm finally managed to store energy. It was not a long-range laser cannon, nor a mega particle cannon fired from the chest, but a huge lightsaber formed by light beams with an energy body in the middle.
The alpha's mental power was too oppressive, but Lin Han didn't feel too uncomfortable. He watched as m2742 used the lightsaber to pierce the sandworm's abdomen!
The sandworm began to struggle violently, but He Yunting did not hold back his mental power. With the help of the mecha and mental power, the disgusting abdominal organs of the sandworm fell out, and black, corrosive blood splashed everywhere. He Yunting gritted his teeth and stabbed it all the way to the bottom. Due to the deep accumulation of power, the hind legs of the entire mecha were even forced back a few steps, and then penetrated the giant sandworm directly——
Its companions began to realize that this was a difficult character to deal with, and one of the sandworms began to pounce on m2742. At this moment, He Yunting couldn't stop - if he stopped and didn't attack the brain, the damage caused by the lightsaber would heal quickly for the Zerg.
The companion sandworm began to whip the fuselage with its hard legs. The collision of metals created sparks and made a harsh and sharp noise.
The entire mecha began to shake and made a loud roar. Even though the metal was very strong, Lin Han still had the illusion that it was about to be torn apart.
The lightsaber split the sandworm tightly. Lin Han saw that He Yunting's shoulders began to tremble. He held the joystick tightly with his right hand, and controlled the lightsaber with his left hand. Finally, he suddenly lifted it up -
The lightsaber moved up along the sandworm's abdomen, passing through its chest and neck, and finally splitting its most precious brain into two halves!
The sandworm began to hiss miserably, and its companions hit the back of the mecha even harder with their legs.
The third sandworm also came. It seemed to be smarter than the previous two. It wanted to use the weight of its legs to lift up m2742 and then throw it to the ground like a toy.
Just as He Yunting was about to retract his lightsaber, Lin Han felt a sense of weightlessness as if he was suspended in mid-air. He hadn't expected that the Zerg had really lifted up one side of the mecha with all its strength. The hind legs of M2742 had already begun to leave the ground. If he wasn't stopped, he would really be lifted up by them and thrown over his shoulder...
Lin Han could no longer sit there and wait for death, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
For omegas, mental power is actually a luxury. After all, mental power is often linked to pheromones and physical fitness, and these two things are not often possessed by omegas.
Mental power allows them to perform delicate and complex mental tasks, but they cannot use this power on the battlefield.
Lin Han once dreamed of driving a mecha because he thought his mental strength could make up for his physical defects, but he was taught a ruthless lesson by reality.
He saw the other two sandworms let out piercing screams, raised their barbed legs, and attacked this side viciously—
The whole mecha was shaking. He Yunting used the mecha arm to firmly grasp one of the legs. The hard metal came into contact with the barbed leg at close range. The metal seemed to be torn apart, making a disgusting and trembling "squeak".
He was very familiar with the mecha, and the second cockpit also had an operating screen.
It has the same equipment as the previous cockpit, and even includes a mental interconnection system.
It’s not like Lin Han hasn’t studied two-person mechas before.
What's more, he and He Yunting once had a very short period of time driving together.
However, two-person mechas have not been popular in the empire in recent years. Most people think that the conditions are too harsh and it is unnecessary to build two-person mechas for such conditions. Therefore, both the Research Institute and the Construction Institute gradually stopped mentioning this project.
This condition requires that the pilots in the two cockpits not only have pure mental power, but also have to be at the same level. For example, even if the pilot in the first cockpit has rich combat experience and training results, as long as he has a different level of mental power from the pilot in the other cockpit, no matter whether it is high or low, the final result is failure without exception.
Generally, the mental power of pilots who drive two-person mechas is at least above S level. It is a waste to find two such excellent pilots to use the same mecha. What's more, which soldier who enters the base does not want to have a mecha of his own and be tied to someone else?
Lin Han saw various system lights flashing wildly in the first cockpit, and the AI was constantly reporting errors.
He tried hard to endure the feeling of weightlessness and dizziness, and had no time to talk to He Yunting.
He knew that He Yunting's mental power was at SSS level.
If his physical condition meant that he couldn't fully pilot the mecha, then...
Lin Han skillfully turned on the system of the second cockpit.
The AI voice of this cockpit was also turned on. He smiled lightly and said, "Request to open a mental connection with the first cockpit."
He saw that the silver hair on He Yunting's forehead was soaked with sweat, and he saw the ferocious and hideous beasts outside the display screen, but he felt unexpectedly resolute.
Lin Han thought that he might never be able to fly a mecha independently.
But at least, his mental strength can fight alongside him and give him a helping hand.
The author has something to say: The third day of not being a night elf
Don't blame me for poorly written fighting scenes, because when I Baidu the characteristics of insects, I was disgusted and almost couldn't sleep. I could only make up stories based on my imagination.
