With his mental energy completely depleted once again, Lian Han turned his attention back to General Ning's battle, but General Ning seemed to be handling it with ease. He couldn't help but ask, "Small battles, shouldn't you be holding down the fort in the rear?"
What's with this disguise as a regular mecha soldier?
Ning Jue chuckled lightly, "Wasn't I just trying to guide you?"
"Ha!" The girl sneered, clearly not believing him. They were complete strangers; why would she deserve such treatment?
"Alright. I brought you along just by chance. Lian Han, no one likes girls who are too smart."
"That's perfect, as long as I like myself."
This is still a kid who doesn't like to joke. Ning Jue controlled the mecha, explaining, "These kinds of routine battles are no better than a large-scale Zerg invasion. One branch of the Zerg has two abilities: devouring the corpses of their own kind to grow stronger, and regional self-destruction. Every time this happens, it causes massive damage."
"Understood. We need to prevent this from happening." Lian Han expressed his understanding.
"Honey, take a look at the wear and tear on your right elbow."
"What's wrong with being obedient?" Lian Han was speechless. He looked at his screen again and immediately saw the project that was red to the point of being black.
"86%." Even Han himself lacked confidence when he said this.
"Step back."
Lian Han was taken aback, and then felt a vast spiritual force enveloping him. The value of 86% dropped rapidly and quickly returned to normal.
Lian Han looked up and saw General Ning tearing apart a Zergling. She thought: ...
This is really multitasking. Is the difference between the S and 3S really that big?
[Xiaohan, did you feel so discouraged that you questioned the meaning of life?]
[Wait a minute! Could this be his purpose?]
[You're usually quite quick-witted, why were you so slow to react this time?]
[What good would it do General Ning to undermine my confidence?] Lian Han's expression was not good. Anyone would be upset if they were targeted for no reason, especially when the other party was using the guise of guiding her.
[There's no benefit to it. But think about it, so far General Ning has only seen your talent in cards from the Origin Tracing Card; he hasn't seen any in Armor Making at all. Perhaps they think they're helping a misguided sheep return to the right path?]
Old Xing always went to great lengths to help Hei Ningjue.
Lian Han's face darkened, but she felt as if she had missed something. But what was it?
Lian Han had a flash of inspiration and felt that she would find the answer soon, but suddenly she was called and looked up at the screen in front of Ning Jue.
An inconspicuous gray Zerg is devouring the corpse of its comrade.
"I'm lucky. There just happened to be a self-destructing bug today."
Before Lian Han could ask anything, Old Man Xing exploded, "What self-destructing worm? And what about that humanoid worm? Which bastard came up with those names? If I were alive, I'd kill him!"
Lian Han paused for a moment, deciding to temporarily ignore the old man who was about to explode, "This is the Zerg you were just talking about?"
"Yes. To deal with this kind of insectoid, we just need to kill it before it grows up. But look at its small size, it's too agile. Ordinary mech soldiers can't even touch it. When advanced mechs go into battle, the enemy doesn't even come out, so it was once the most lethal insectoid. We just disguise ourselves and try our luck. If a soldier discovers a self-destructing insect, he will report it immediately."
As Ning Jue spoke, Yu Ting's mecha drew its longsword and struck the insect in half with a single blow, slicing it in two like chopping vegetables.
She hadn't even noticed how agile these Zerg were! Before Lian Han could even complain, the previous call came again. The girl frowned, staring at the screen. The black starry sky—was there any light from energy collisions? Nothing else. So—who was calling her?
The call came a third time right next to Lian Han's ear, startling her so much that her hair stood on end. She reflexively looked over, but there was nothing there.
"Lian Han!" Ning Jue's voice suddenly rang out. Lian Han looked around, but the world around him had already turned black.
003 alert: "Warning, entering a no-signal area. Please be careful, owner."
The seat beneath him had vanished; he could see nothing at all. So it was another spatial dimension? Lian Han was furious.
Why would she be targeted by these inexplicable spaces?
[To be precise, it was a dark prison.] Old Xing's voice was heavy.
How could this girl have attracted that person's attention so early? Or did his aura leak out? Impossible!
"Lian Han? Where are you?" It was Ning Jue's voice.
Lian Han was surprised and went to look for the voice. "General, what brings you here?"
Ning Jue patted the girl's shoulder, and said truthfully, "I've seriously considered the consequences of not being able to get you back safely. Marshal Ling will probably slaughter the entire capital star."
"Is it that serious? But he doesn't seem to care much about me."
"That's because you don't know that the capital star is currently undergoing a major reshuffle, which was personally triggered by Marshal Ling."
[Let's not talk about these trivial things now. Xiaohan, I will isolate myself, and no one will be able to sense my presence, but from now on, everything will depend on you. If things get bad, just teleport randomly or ask the system for help; the system won't let you die.]
[Wait, is it that serious? What exactly is the Black Prison?]
[Thinking about the Blood Flower I mentioned before might be helpful.] Selective amnesia caused by one's inability to bear the consequences is very likely to recur when one is hurt again.
Old Xing didn't have time to say the rest, because he had already sensed the person's presence. Even though he hated him to the core, he could only cower and avoid causing trouble for Xiao Han...
