The eagle-shaped flying mecha hovering in the sky retreated, and those ordinary mechas that also carried large missiles also completely disappeared from the radar screen.
"Have they retreated?" Seeing this, Lin Tao raised his eyebrows: "I can't believe they've retreated so quickly."
"Cousin Lin Tao, you are the next heir designated by the family head. As long as they know you are here, they will naturally retreat." Although Lin Zhihao's face was pale, he forced a smile at this time.
Lin Zhihao knew in his heart that the news had reached the top leaders of the Lin family, otherwise these mechas would not have retreated so quickly.
"Cousin Lin Tao..."
Lin Tao laughed and waved his hand to stop Lin Zhihao from speaking. He did not comment on the title of so-called cousin, neither denying nor agreeing. However, to him, it was just a title and he did not need to take it too seriously.
As for whether to return to the Lin family, the question is obvious.
Lin Tao reached out and adjusted the mecha's public channel before opening it again.
"Retreat, retreat, they all retreat. I was really scared just now. With so many mechas, I don't know if Lin Tao can handle it." Lu Mengying's voice came over the mecha public channel.
"Yes, I have just learned how to operate the mecha, and I am not very good at fighting. If they really attack, I don’t know what to do?" Cheng Bingfeng also agreed.
"Humph!" Cheng Bingfeng's voice had just fallen when Cheng Binghao's voice suddenly rang out: "I asked you to practice ancient martial arts but you didn't listen. I asked you to learn some mecha operation but you didn't listen either. You are always a step behind others in everything. Now do you know what the mecha operation is for?"
"Brother, I...am I not learning now?" Cheng Bingfeng was embarrassed.
If he had listened to Cheng Binghao and learned ancient martial arts earlier, perhaps Wei Wei would have called him second senior brother.
"Okay, let's wait for Lin Tao and see what happened." Yang Yanzong's voice rang out.
"Master, I asked Lin Zhihao to contact the Lin family." After hearing what Master Yang Yanzong said, Lin Tao had to speak up on the spot.
"Have you contacted the Lin family?" Yang Yanzong's tone suddenly changed, and then he fell silent.
Yang Yanzong remained silent, and the other disciples did not dare to speak easily. The mecha public channel suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Fortunately, Master Gu Lei spoke up to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Lin Tao, are you planning to go back to the Lin family?"
When these words came out, even Lin Zhihao, who had kept his mouth shut, pricked up his ears. Whether Lin Tao returned to the Lin family or not was related to the future status of the Lin family in the Interstellar Federation.
Now, although the Lin family is listed among the wealthy families, they are also at the bottom and may be excluded at any time, and may even have to cooperate with the Su family in a humble manner.
If Lin Tao had never planned to return to the Lin family from the beginning, then his legs would have been broken in vain.
Lin Tao did not answer this question. He said in a deep voice: "Those mechas carried weapons specifically designed to target K223. If they all open fire at the same time, we will probably only have one K223 left."
Although Lin Tao did not directly respond to Yang Yanzong's words, everyone could hear the implication of his words.
"So that's how it is." Yang Yanzong sighed.
"So what are your plans next?" Master Gu Lei asked.
"Come with me to the Lin family. I don't think they will do anything to you." Lin Tao said indifferently.
There was silence in the mecha public channel, and no one responded.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was already dawn.
The sound of a vehicle was heard in the distance. Everyone looked at the radar screen and saw a yellow spot of light suddenly appear on the screen.
The radar screen of the mecha has a program for distinguishing between friend and foe. Any mecha and ship that is not among the friendly forces will be regarded as the enemy and marked as a red dot. However, some special means of transportation are not included in this exception.
However, since the people in these vehicles are very likely to be enemies, they will all be marked in yellow so that the mecha pilots can make their own judgments.
Lin Tao used the surveillance system to identify it and found that it was a suspended container truck.
The floating container truck stopped by itself before it got close. The door opened and a middle-aged man with a pot belly walked out. As soon as he walked out of the door, he quickly waved his hands to show that he had no hostility.
While doing this, he clicked his watch a few times.
"I am the planetary governor of Gat Star, and I would like to request to negotiate with you. Master Lin Tao, please come out and meet me."
"Looking for me?" Lin Tao frowned slightly and immediately understood the other party's plan.
"Lin Tao, don't go. This could be their conspiracy." Lu Mengying advised urgently.
"Yes, Lin Tao, don't go. If you want to go, let me go." Cheng Binghao's voice came over.
"Let me go. I don't know how to operate mechas anyway. Even if they detain me, there won't be any problem." Cheng Bingfeng was also anxious.
Lin Tao was quite moved when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, Sister Lu, please stop fighting. Since they specifically want to see me, I will go and meet them."
"Lin Tao, why don't I go over and say hello to them?"
At this time, Yang Yanzong's voice also rang out.
"Master, I am a practitioner of ancient martial arts. Even if they really have a conspiracy, they may not be able to trap me." After a pause, Lin Tao smiled again: "Besides, I will not leave K223."
Hearing Lin Tao's words, Master Gu Lei laughed. He naturally believed in Lin Tao's strength: "Old Yang, since Lin Tao is not inferior to K223, I guess even if they have a conspiracy, they can't cause any trouble."
After a pause, Master Gu Lei continued, "Well, as far as I know, the Lin family thinks highly of Lin Tao and they probably won't play any tricks on him. Old Yang, just let Lin Tao get in touch with them."
Yang Yanzong and others were speechless.
At the repeated waves of the planet commander, Lin Tao drove K223 towards the opponent.
K223 had superior performance. When it suddenly stopped at an extremely fast speed, a hurricane blew up, causing the hover container truck to sway, and the planet commander almost couldn't stand steadily.
After K223 stopped, Lin Tao did not open the cockpit door.
"Excuse me, are you Young Master Lin Tao?" the planet commander asked loudly.
"I am Lin Tao." Lin Tao responded through the mecha's external speaker.
"Master Lin Tao, the head of the family has told us to obey your orders in everything. You can get out of the mecha now. I have prepared the highest-level accommodation for you. Just wait ten days and the head of the family will come and take you back."
"Really?" Lin Tao didn't care.
"Brother Lin Tao, don't worry. Since the head of the family has spoken, you can do whatever you want on this planet. Why don't we go back with them first?"
On the side, Lin Zhihao also gave some advice.
Actually, Lin Zhihao's persuasion also had his own purpose. After his metal prosthesis was broken by Lin Tao, although his blood vessels were sealed by Cheng Binghao with ancient martial arts, he was in an awkward situation now. If he could go back, he would definitely have someone install the metal prosthesis first so that he could stand in front of everyone with dignity. This would not only save his manners, but also help him regain some dignity.
After all, he was a planetary commander after all, and he must have felt a little uncomfortable being crammed into a corner of the cockpit.
Lin Tao smiled slightly. He knew very well what the Lin family was doing.
After a moment of silence, he switched back to the public channel of Lin Yanzong and others: "Master, the head of the Lin family is coming and will arrive in about ten days. Should we wait here or go back to the city first?"
"Go back to the city? Then won't we just be waiting for them to control us?" Second Senior Brother Wei Wei said.
"That's right. If we go back now and leave the mecha, we will fall into their hands." Cheng Bingfeng also disagreed.
The others remained silent, waiting for Master Yang Yanzong to speak.
After a while, Yang Yanzong sighed and said, "Let's go back to the city. Since the head of the Lin family is here, there is not much point for us to stay here."
"Well, I agree." Master Gu Lei had no objection to this.
A line of mechas followed the planet commander and came to another corner of the city that had not been destroyed.
Lin Tao was the first one to walk out of the cockpit. He held Lin Zhihao in one hand and as soon as he landed on the ground, he threw Lin Zhihao over. This scared the planetary commander a lot. Fortunately, his soft barrel belly had a certain degree of endurance, and he caught Lin Zhihao.
After recognizing Lin Zhihao, the planet commander was so frightened that he quickly called his men and hurriedly took Lin Zhihao back.
"Master Lin Tao, this is the best hotel in Feihong City. Before the head of the family comes, please stay here for a while." After some trouble, the planetary commander came to Lin Tao with a flattering smile, standing straight with a smile on his face.
Seeing Lin Tao walk out of the mecha, Yang Yanzong and his party also walked out: "Lin Tao, can we go back and clean up the martial arts hall?"
When mentioning the martial arts gym, Yang Yanzong's tone was a little bleak. Cheng Binghao and others were sad, and Lu Mengying and Cheng Bingfeng glared at Lin Zhihao with hatred.
The planet commander was sweating profusely. He gently wiped his forehead with a handkerchief while secretly observing Lin Tao's expression. Seeing that Lin Tao looked normal and without any anger, he forced a smile and said in a trembling voice, "Master Yang, please rest assured about the martial arts hall. We will send someone to handle it."
He had already learned from the mayor of Feihong City that Lin Tao was training in the Yang family martial arts school. He had already cursed Lin Zhihao in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that they were all members of the Lin family, he might have started cursing from eighteen generations of his ancestors.
“No need.” Yang Yanzong waved his hand and said calmly: “Our martial arts school, we can just do it ourselves.”
As he spoke, he nodded to Lin Tao and said, "Lin Tao, you should stay here for now. Otherwise, I'm afraid that cleaning up the martial arts gym will be hindered."
“No, no.” The planetary officer was terrified and waved his hands repeatedly: “Master Yang, don’t worry, we will definitely send someone over to help.”
