Wang Kaiyu hugged his arms and shivered.
It wasn't just because of the freezing seawater, but also the powerlessness of pressing buttons to no avail, and the shame of being stripped bare in public...
The Little Bees outside were still broadcasting live... For the first time, he locked eyes with another mecha through the glass of his cockpit!
"Lucas, the anti-corrosion modifications aren't bad! And the multi-layer hybrid hub..."
Wang Tianwei praised as she held up her younger brother's heavily leaking cockpit and floated upward.
Before the seawater could drown Wang Kaiyu up to his neck, she finally tossed him onto their own hole-ridden small boat.
"I've already dismantled your mecha. Once you lose combat ability, you're eliminated, so don't even think about pulling any more tricks. There are blankets and hot water in the boat's cabin. Stay put and don't touch the kelp outside!"
Wang Kaiyu climbed out of the transparent cockpit trembling, "Oh..."
Lucas was already shocked when he heard Sister Zebra's evaluation of his mecha on the team communication channel. Now, seeing Wang Kaiyu's miserable state, he fell completely silent. It took him several seconds to squeeze out a sentence, "Wang... Kaiyu, are you okay?"
Wang Kaiyu waved his hand dejectedly. He glanced at the two captains still facing off in mid-air, then entered the boat's cabin and wrapped himself in a blanket. He also hugged the thermos his sister had left on the stool, finally feeling a bit of warmth.
Seeing his despondent look, Lucas could only smack his lips. Noticing that the mental energy Huang Yan was sharing with him had weakened, he immediately wanted to go help his captain, but locked eyes with Jian Jingyu, who had suddenly popped out of the sea.
"Hi, Lucas, haven't seen you in two days, how have you been?"
"..."
The first thing Wang Tianwei did upon returning to the sea was to have Little Bear roughly patch the holes on the boat, while she fulfilled her promise to dismantle Xu Mo's mecha!
"Damn kid! I told you not to hit the boat, not to hit the boat! But you just wouldn't listen!"
Xu Mo was tied up in three layers of lassos from head to toe. Just as Wang Tianwei came down, she shot a large net at him, rendering him completely immobile.
His power system was broken, his firepower tubes were uninstalled by her, and now, while having his mecha dismantled, he was occasionally slapped by her mechanical hands. At this moment, he could empathize with Wang Kaiyu.
Life, perhaps, is just full of such ups and downs and downs and downs...
Water was also starting to seep into the crevices of Zhang Lyra's mecha at this time, but it was still a far cry from the situation of the other side who was completely soaked in seawater.
Moreover, their mechas were equipped with military-grade low-temperature modules specially picked by Sister Zebra, so at least physically, it was comfortable.
Arriving by the side of their own boat, Zhang Lyra looked at the large hole blown into the hull and felt a bit troubled.
Sister Zebra had told her to roughly patch the hole, but what should she use?
Sweeping her gaze left and right, she locked onto the boat of the First Military Academy's Second Squad, which was basically about to sink...
Since it was sinking anyway, it shouldn't matter if the hole was a bit bigger, right?
The Little Bees followed Zhang Lyra, recording how she tore the iron sheets off someone else's boat and nailed them onto her own.
Patching one piece wasn't enough; when Sister Zebra repaired the boat later, she would definitely need more materials! After thinking about it, she simply put the entire boat into her spatial button, storing it in the same place as the pile of fish they had caught earlier.
Now the spatial button was mostly occupied, but Zhang Lyra felt delighted. Sister Zebra loved materials so much, she would definitely praise her for a job well done. Today was another day of being thrifty and managing the household well!
When Xu Mo was tossed onto the boat, he maintained the same posture as Wang Kaiyu.
Shameful, it was too shameful...
At first, he had tried to appeal to Wang Tianwei's emotions, but perhaps because he had blown up Qilin's boat, every extra word he said earned him another slap. In the end, he didn't dare to open his mouth at all.
However, it was only at the end that he realized his cockpit door had been deformed by that half-orc from Qilin. If it hadn't been dismantled, he wouldn't have been able to get out today at all.
After climbing out, his soaked body was blown by the sea breeze. He didn't know if his body was colder or if his heart was colder...
Lucas sniffled and draped a blanket over his teammate, "You've worked hard."
Xu Mo turned back in shock, "You too?"
Lucas's cheeks were swollen high.
"Don't laugh. I didn't expect Jian Jingyu to be so ruthless either. He really wasted having such an honest-looking face..."
Wang Kaiyu brought a cup of hot water out from the cabin for his teammate, "Drink some. Now only the captain is still holding on."
Lucas wrapped his blanket tighter, cupped his hands around his mouth, and shouted into the air, "Captain, you can do it!!"
Xu Mo wrapped his blanket securely, took the hot water, and silently watched the two mechas fighting in the air.
Jian Jingyu, perhaps having received some orders, just watched from the sidelines with no intention of intervening.
A short while later, Zhang Lyra also came up. Sister Zebra said she needed to patch it up more meticulously and, afraid her mecha wouldn't hold up, told her to go first.
Had Sir Huang already reached the stage of exchanging firepower with Ye Yingxuan? Then it should be over soon. She just needed to watch from the side.
"Huang Yan still has some conscience. He's not as underhanded as the others."
Lucas voiced his opinion.
After all, he didn't punch people in the face like Jian Jingyu, or dismantle people's mechas like Wang Tianwei!
Now it was a one-on-one with the captain, which could be considered somewhat gentlemanly... So why did he feel so suffocated inside?
He looked back at the kelp hanging all over the small boat.
"I really want to steal all their kelp clean!"
Wang Kaiyu took another sip of hot water, "My sister would feed you straight to the star sharks."
"..."
Now thinking about the questions those reporters had asked him: 'Would you go easy if you encounter your sister?'
Heh, how amusing...
Ye Yingxuan was hit by Huang Yan's bullets. Her mental energy could no longer hold up, failing to even maintain the anti-gravity hover, and she plummeted from mid-air into the sea...
A moment later, she was stripped of her weapons by a black submarine and pushed up to the surface.
"Don't just fall anywhere, you almost hit me."
Huang Yan finally got out of his mecha. Glancing at their boat's draft, he knew Wang Tianwei had already patched the boat underneath.
"Good work."
"No need to be polite."
At this point, the group was only one nautical mile from the shore. The safety teachers looked at the small boat sailing in the sea and planned to wait until they docked at the shore to pick them up, but they could make the broadcast first.
"First Military Academy Second Squad, eliminated. Points cleared to zero."
"Qilin Military Academy Fourth Squad, plus one hundred points."
This one hundred points was for dealing with the mutated cuttlefish.
According to the organizing committee's rules, for group attacks, regardless of the quantity, only one hundred points are awarded for the same category.
The people from Qilin had no objections to this. After all, they weren't the ones under attack; from beginning to end, they had only cast a single net...
"We're almost at the shore. I'll go give the boat a push to speed it up. The water in the cabin underneath hasn't been pumped out yet."
"Then I'll join you!"
"No need for you. Wait until I've finished modifying all the mechas."
"Alright then, thanks for the hard work!"
