For the first time in his life, Huai Jin felt sad that he wasn't a mecha soldier.
No, perhaps he was more upset about his own unhealthy body.
No matter how hard he trains, he can't catch up with them because of his inherent disadvantages.
——
As the Zerg pressed closer, most people scattered in different directions to escape. Now, only Wu Yun Shen and Qin Xun Zhen were with Ye Jiu, but all three of their mechs were injured to varying degrees.
If a mech is damaged by more than 50%, it becomes unusable and must be repaired. However, the current situation clearly does not allow them the time to repair the mech.
Even if Ye Jiu has the parts, even if she has the technology.
Piloting mechs has always been a great burden on mental strength. Ye Jiu is alright, as her mental strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, but Qin Xunzhen and Wu Yunshen are not in such good condition.
"Qin Xunzhen, how much longer can you hold on?"
"One hour..."
"I want to hear the truth."
"10 minutes..."
"Where is Dark Cloud?"
"About 10 minutes."
Ye Jiu stood still. "You guys go first. If your mental strength can't hold up, put away your mechs and find a place to hide. Reinforcements should be here soon. I'm still well-off, I'll cover your retreat."
"You..." Qin Xunzhen was speechless for a moment, but she knew that now was not the time to be pretentious. "Okay, take care."
Wu Yun Shen wanted to say something, but Qin Xun Zhen dragged him away.
They are being chased by spiders with human heads, whose silk is everywhere. It is not only sticky but also toxic and corrosive.
Ye Jiu felt sorry for her mecha for a second.
He drew his twin swords and pounced on the spider with the human head.
The hissing sound of spider silk falling to the ground and corroding the soil made Ye Jiu's teeth ache. Getting burned would cost 100w, so she had to be careful.
Fortunately, its powerful ranged attack capabilities come at the cost of its tough skin and outer shell. If you can get close, you can take it down in eight or nine out of ten times.
The spider with its eight legs coiled on the ground, wary of the laser sword in Ye Jiu's hand, and did not charge forward recklessly.
Then Ye Jiu saw it bend down and begin... laying eggs?!
One by one, fist-sized, glistening white eggs fell from its tail. As soon as the eggs landed, they began to pupa, and little spiders emerged from them, leaving the sticky fluid from the eggs everywhere.
yue
Ye Jiu realized that it didn't have time to spit out spider silk, so he glanced at the knife in his hand and decided to take a gamble. He would win if he could stab it in the eye.
The lightsaber found the right angle and hurled it outwards with force. The spider-headed creature didn't react in time and the lightsaber pierced its eye with a "whoosh".
The spider was completely enraged. It used its forelegs to pull the laser sword off its face and threw it aside, its blue blood blurring its entire face.
Ye Jiu had good aim, but it was a pity he only managed to gouge out one eye.
The little spiders received the command and swarmed towards Ye Jiu. Ye Jiu wielded his other sword with great skill, each strike taking down a small spider. Apart from being a bit annoying, they weren't very intimidating.
Then Ye Jiu realized she was too happy too soon; the little spider would explode after it died!
The explosions were loud, but fortunately, the Nightshade's outer shell was extremely hard, so the explosions of this magnitude posed no threat whatsoever.
Ye Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. That was close. He couldn't be careless in the future.
but……
Ye Jiu leaped up, releasing her mental energy to interfere with the human-headed spider's perception, and then flashed behind it when it was off guard.
With a "whoosh," he pierced it all the way through. Unsure of its weak points, he stabbed it all over. Since the blood of the human-headed spider was not corrosive, Ye Jiu stabbed it without hesitation.
When the human-headed spider died, all the smaller spiders exploded and died on the spot.
With a single spark, the traces of the spider-headed creature on this land were burned away completely.
The spider is dealt with, but who knows what else might follow!
Ye Jiu dared not relax for a moment.
——
There were too many of these insects, and Su Huo didn't fare well against them either. His blue blood stained his mech, and eventually dripped down the shell onto the ground.
"These insects are endless! Where is the queen?!"
"The report states that 16 students have been rescued, but one student is still missing."
"Keep searching. Where's Pei Zhiyu? Where did he go?"
"In the report, General Pei will continue towards the central area."
The news from the rescue team eased the pressure on Suho a bit; at least the rescue progress was good, with only the last person remaining.
Absolutely no student will get into trouble under his care.
Ye Jiu... will definitely not be in any trouble.
——
Ye Jiu's situation is not good; she has encountered a big guy.
This might be the biggest bug she's encountered since becoming a mech soldier.
The textbook has a professional name for it... Mother Insect.
It's two times, no, three times bigger than Ye Jiu's mecha!
Ye Jiu's attack methods had no effect on it.
It could even talk, slowly approaching Ye Jiu, "Mental energy... dense mental energy... eat... smells so good."
Ye Jiu was restless inside the mecha. Oh no, was it going to eat her?
Ye Jiu slashed at it with his laser sword as if it were cotton; the sword was sucked into its flesh, and when he pulled it out, it left no trace on the body.
As it drew closer, Ye Jiu tried using the laser gun again, but it was useless; the laser was deflected, and the trees that were innocently affected were pitifully hit.
Ye Jiu kept retreating, retreating further and further.
The insect queen moved slowly, crawling unhurriedly on the ground, muttering incessantly, "Hungry...eat...spiritual energy...smells good."
Until Ye Jiu pushed her to the edge of the cliff, there was only a bottomless abyss behind her. If she fell, she would probably be smashed to pieces along with the mecha.
