Wu Cong was extremely anxious seeing Matt almost get hurt and even alarm the soldiers of the Third Military Region! But in the end, it was actually someone from Qilin who saved his teammate!?
"At least they have some humanity left..."
The squad leader felt awkward. But with Matt like this, he should be considered eliminated, right? Just as he was feeling uncomfortable, Wang Tianwei flew back in her "fighter jet."
"Thanks to our allies for sending us energy!!"
"..."
I'll fight you to the death!
Hearing Wang Tianwei's words, Asayama Ryota switched between his dual swords and firearms even more frequently! Neither his teammates nor his teachers had ever seen him perform so well!
"You guys have no martial ethics! That light mecha, if you have the guts, let's duel one-on-one!"
Jian Jingyu had just transformed back into a mobile battery after saving someone. Hearing this, he immediately aimed his massive cannon muzzle at the person below who was still wrestling with the tentacles.
"Are you sure? Uh... what is your mecha's defense rating? How many individual missiles can it withstand? If your mecha gets destroyed, you can't ask us for compensation, right?"
"..."
The rescue aircraft on this side simply stopped hiding its presence and flew directly next to the two of them.
"Student... take it easy."
Given Qilin's firepower loadout, he was genuinely a bit worried that Asayama Ryota would lose his mind and say, "Let's fight then!"...
As they spoke, another sandworm smashed heavily onto the ground! Its body was still twitching, but it had already lost its ability to attack!
Zhang Lyra could finally free up her hands to check the situation over here.
The battery transformed into a porcupine, hitting the accelerator and ramming towards Asayama Ryota on the ground!
"Why are you wasting words with him!?"
Didn't Sir Huang say it was enough to just scrap their mechas?
She was already a veteran at ramming! Whether ramming people or star beasts, which specific part to use? How many spikes to extend?
After long periods of practice with Huang Yan, Jian Jingyu, and in the Zero Realm, she knew it inside out!
As long as she ensured the opponent's power pipe was punctured, it would be fine!
It would still be fastest for Sister Ma to dismantle the energy cabin herself, but she was busy right now and couldn't free her hands.
For the first time in his life, Asayama Ryota experienced the feeling of being sent flying by a mecha, and then throwing up stomach acid in the cockpit...
After confirming he was okay, the safety officer didn't get off the aircraft immediately, but continued to stare intently at the mechas of the Qilin members!
The transformation movements were so smooth! The moment that heavy machine gunner catapulted over was just too cool, right!?
He was also a heavy machine gunner! He really wanted to try a mecha like that!
Just whose masterwork was this!?
Asayama Ryota finally stopped feeling so dizzy. He climbed up and wanted to fight again!
But on the cockpit screen in front of him, several large red words appeared:
"Warning: Mecha power insufficient!"
"Damn it!"
His power system must have been damaged in the ramming... It was all that "porcupine's" fault!!
"Ah!!!"
Both soldiers of Wu Cong's squad were eliminated! Seeing that Qilin was still using them as pawns, the remaining two lost their morale before they even lost the fight.
Ruby piloted her mecha to blast apart a sandworm's body, only to have the final ownership of the star beast stolen by the opponent flying the "fighter jet." Her mindset exploded, and she was so angry she just stood there motionless!
Seeing that even the mecha mechanic was unwilling to fight anymore... and Huang Yan was still constantly attacking him with mental power! The sandworms were also picking on the "soft persimmons." After holding on for a while, Wu Cong helplessly spoke up,
"Santorini Second Squad withdraws!"
The safety officer immediately went down and brought the two out, providing no other assistance to the Qilin members throughout the whole process.
"Ah? You're withdrawing just like that!"
Wang Tianwei smacked her lips; she had still wanted to find time to look at those people's mechas!
But now that the positions of the two Santorini members were empty, she could only step forward as quickly as possible to make up for the firepower.
The four Qilin members finally stopped slacking off and started a new round of attacks!
Seeing this, the newly withdrawn Wu Cong and Ruby almost couldn't hold back their curses!
You guys are so insidious!! Were you just watching the show from the side earlier!?
It wasn't until the last sandworm fell to the ground that the four Qilin members' mechas finally transformed back to their original appearances.
Over there, the rescue aircraft carrying the two Santorini soldiers also landed, and the eliminated team handed over all the supplies Qilin demanded.
Jian Jingyu held a few small scorpions and said in surprise,
"You guys didn't find anything to eat along the way either!"
Wu Cong sneered,
"This is Planet Kashgar. Even the sandworms are venomous! Being able to find something edible is already pretty good!
If it weren't to rob your nutrient fluids, we wouldn't have taken this risk..."
Hearing this, Jian Jingyu couldn't help but glance at him. This guy was alright, surprisingly honest!
Ruby also acknowledged the gap between the two teams.
Although her squad was all S-rank, the coordination of those four was simply flawless. Coupled with their transforming mechas... there was no point in denying it anymore, they had already lost.
So she had already uninstalled the energy from their own mechas in advance, handing it over along with the unused backup energy.
"Here, the mecha energy."
"Thanks! Oh, the protective shields for you two are still good, right? Please give them to us as well!"
"..."
Ruby stared at her black square-headed mecha for a long time. Just how shameless could this person get!?
"???"
In the end, it was Wu Cong who handed over the protective shields. Ruby took several deep breaths,
"Your mecha designs are excellent..."
"Of course they are!"
Hearing the praise, Wang Tianwei happily shook her head back and forth,
"Can you tell me which master you commissioned to make them?"
Why hadn't she heard a single rumor about such outstanding mechas being released? Which mecha master was this low-key?
If they had such mechas too, maybe they wouldn't have lost today?
"Is it a master on Planet Shuomo? Could you introduce me? Price is not an issue."
...Even if it was incredibly expensive, she would accept it. She really needed one to study! It would be even better if that master was willing to give her a few pointers!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present and the viewers watching the live broadcast in front of their screens pricked up their ears!
Please! Just tell them!!
Who wouldn't want a mecha that could transform at any time!?
Wang Tianwei sat in the cockpit, looking bewildered. Huang Yan looked through the screen at the hovering "little bee" drone nearby,
"You'll naturally find out later. Just keep watching the live broadcast."
Jian Jingyu immediately followed up with a laugh,
"Right! Just pay attention to the live broadcast of our Qilin Fourth Squad!! Hahahaha!"
Matt rolled his eyes without any regard for his image. If they didn't want to say it, they just didn't want to say it! Did they have to keep people in suspense?
"The temperature is rising, Ruby. Let's go."
Ruby took one last, reluctant look at the four mechas,
"Alright, I hope you keep your word. I will be watching... Even if you get eliminated, you'll still tell us, right!"
"Don't worry! Don't worry! You'll all find out eventually!"
Wang Tianwei waved her mecha's arm.
With such frequent combat, they would have to do another sand-clearing and maintenance session in a couple of days anyway. By then, wouldn't everyone know!?
