Ahri and Li Shang went back to find Li Ge, while Li Ge had just managed to repel several waves of mutated creatures.
This time, the mutants didn't go on a killing spree like before; instead, they fought for a while and then ran away.
What do they want to do?
This time, the mutant did not launch a direct attack, leaving Li Ge and the others somewhat puzzled.
Mutants are also a type of intelligent life; their brain structure and way of thinking are different from those of ordinary people.
Li Shang said, "No matter what they want to do, we must always be ready for battle."
Meanwhile, others were carefully observing the traces left by the mutated species on the battlefield, trying to find some clues.
Li Ge stood to one side, frowning in thought. The battle scene and the retreat path of the mutated species replayed in his mind. "I think they were carrying out some kind of mission, rather than a simple attack."
"Then let's wait and see."
The entire Starfleet 10 region is on high alert.
Ah Li was protected by Li Ge and Li Shang because Ah Li had another identity: a guide.
The energy emanating from the guide was a long-awaited and dream-of feast for the mutated species, thanks to their keen and distorted perception.
For mutants, the guide's energy, pure yet containing endless mysteries and potential, is like the most exquisite seasoning in the universe, capable of stimulating the dormant wildness within them, making every drop of their blood boil and every nerve tremble with desire.
The mutants will use any means necessary, from covert ambushes to direct confrontation, just to get a touch of that alluring energy, until they devour it completely to satisfy their seemingly endless craving.
Li Ge and Li Shang also found several commonalities in the mutated species' attacks, and they were certain that the mutated species were looking for the guides of the Interstellar Tenth District.
Last time, because of the chaotic battle, Ahri even joined the fight directly, and the energy overflowing from her body came not only from the Guides but also from the Sentinels.
In addition, Ahri's guiding ability is too special; she can guide, purify, and soothe the energy that is about to self-destruct on all Sentinels over a wide area.
The mutant didn't react on the spot, but it will definitely review the battle when it gets back.
The mutated species lost that battle because of Ahri, a hidden special guide.
Li Ge and the others could imagine that the mutated species might also hold a meeting, and they would stop at nothing to find the guide hiding in the tenth interstellar district and eat her directly.
"Time is of the essence, call for backup."
Li Shang said this to Li Ge.
Even though their communication devices are not yet perfect and the signals they send may not be received immediately, they will eventually be picked up by someone.
However, just as the signal for support from Sector 10 was sent out...
The mutated species attacked, surging in like a tidal wave. They were densely packed, blotting out the sky, as if they were an army formed from darkness itself, with an arrogant and domineering attitude, determined to devour all light.
In the 10th sector of the interstellar space, there are no ordinary people anymore; they are all sentinels, but there are only a little over three thousand of them.
"Can we win this time?"
Li Ge looked at Li Shang. On the other side, Ah Li didn't hide behind them. Instead, she had Qing Teng ready to act at any time.
Because of this battle, everyone may have to fight with their lives on the line.
"We'll fight! We'll wait for reinforcements!"
Li Ge was the first to summon his mech, followed closely by the others, who then attacked the mutated creature.
In this battle, an inextinguishable flame burned in the heart of every sentinel. They knew that as long as their faith remained, hope would always exist.
The battle lasted a long time. The three thousand sentinels, with their indomitable will, rallied into a force that shook the heavens and the earth. Their figures were small in front of the densely packed mutants, but they burst out with a magnificent momentum as if they were an army of thirty thousand or even three hundred thousand.
On this battlefield ravaged by war, every shout embodies the desire for victory, and every charge is a steadfast practice of faith.
They shine like stars, radiating brilliance even in the deepest darkness.
To protect that deeply rooted belief, they spared no effort to unleash the full potential of their Sentinel energy—a challenge to their limits and a courageous leap beyond their own boundaries.
As the battle intensified, an indescribable tension and fervor filled the air, and the energy levels of the sentinel soldiers surged like wild horses.
This force is both their sharpest weapon against the mutants and the indomitable flame deep within their hearts. It burns, illuminating their path forward, and also consuming their own lives.
At this moment, Li Shang found Ah Li. His eyes were now completely blood red, and he had many wounds on his body that were bleeding. He said, "I can't hold on any longer. I'll send you away."
"And what about you?"
Ahri looked at the sentry soldiers who were still fighting. Some of them had fallen, but he was still doing his best to hold off the mutants and buy time for the people around him to fight back.
"We will fight to the very end! Let's go!"
A tear of blood slowly rolled down Li Shang's cheek. He gritted his teeth, grabbed Ah Li's arm, and started to leave.
Protecting guides is a mission ingrained in their very being.
"I'm not leaving! I'm the guide, and if I stay, everyone will have a chance to survive!"
As soon as Ahri finished speaking, the green vine instantly appeared behind her. The next second, it suddenly grew larger, and the aura of a guide surged forth. A purifying, guiding, and soothing aura spread outwards from Ahri as the center.
She could sacrifice her life for it.
"Ah Li! Are you crazy? Stop it!"
The endless mutated species all stopped. Some threw away the sentinels they were holding, while others flapped their wings and blew away the sentinels blocking their way.
They started swarming towards Ahri, who was now like a fragrant cake to them, brazenly shouting, "Come and eat me!"
On the other side, Li Ge was being stepped on by a mutant, whose sharp claws were about to pierce into his mecha chest, but the mutant turned its head to look at Ah Li.
Li Ge also instantly felt that the energy in his originally boiling spiritual sea, which was on the verge of self-destruction, was returning to calm.
Li Ge shouted, "Li Shang! Why didn't you send her away? Why!"
They had agreed beforehand not to expose Ahri, and if they really couldn't hold out and couldn't get reinforcements, they would send Ahri away as soon as possible.
But now, Ahri hasn't left; instead, it's revealed that she is the special guide.
Many of the mutants no longer considered the sentinel in front of them as an opponent. They rushed towards Ahri, drawn by the delicious aroma. This guide was indeed special; they wanted to eat her.
Li Ge's mech crackled with electricity and sparks. He struggled to his feet, trying to rush towards Ah Li, but he fell down again as soon as he stood up. He looked in Ah Li's direction in despair, "Why didn't you leave! You should have left!"
