Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr The next second, Lin Zhong-qing's mecha crashed into the air cushion as well. This was because there were still seven more people waiting to enter.
As mecha after mecha slid into the ship, and seeing [No Mecha Unrepaired] slide smoothly into the launch port with Zilong's help, Ling Lan could not help but feel relieved. As long as the ship continued to fly for a few more minutes, they would be able to escape the danger zone Little Four had determined.
Seeing that her mecha's power was almost depleted, Ling Lan said to [Self-Defined Destiny], the last remaining person beside her, "Leopard, you go in first." Perhaps out of trust in the leopard's abilities, Ling Lan left [Self-Defined Destiny] for last.
[Self-Defined Destiny] replied, "Alright." Before he could control his mecha to descend, he saw the special-class operator who had been following them suddenly accelerate madly to overtake them and slide swiftly into the launch port.
"It's that special-class operator. Godd * mmit, so shameless." Seeing this, Li Lanfeng could not help but curse. It was one thing for him to follow them here, but no matter what, he should still know how to be polite and orderly. How could he cut in line so shamelessly?
Seeing this, Ling Lan frowned. She had not expected that special-class operator to choose such an opportune time to descend — it was the perfect 10 seconds. What a pity — this time, the leopard would have to slow down a bit. Every mecha that slid down had to be separated by about 10 seconds from the previous mecha, or else it would be very easy for the mecha to collide into each other. If they were unlucky, it was very likely that the operator would be seriously injured or even killed. Although Ling Lan also hated that mecha for doing such a thing, she could not let the leopard do it recklessly.
Thus, Ling Lan said, "Leopard, wait for 10 more seconds."
The two of them flew at high speed to follow the command ship as they waited for the 10 seconds to pass. Seeing that it was about time, Ling Lan was just about to open her mouth to let [Self-Defined Destiny] slide into the launch port when Little Four suddenly cried out in her mindspace, "Boss, not good! The magnetic storm is about to explode."
"What? Didn't you say 18 minutes? There's still a few seconds left. " Ling Lan's expression changed drastically. She never expected Little Four's estimation to be off by a few seconds.
Before Little Four could answer, they heard the crackling sound of magnetic interference coming from the cockpit. Sure enough, the magnetic storm had exploded. Otherwise, they would not have been able to receive such powerful interference from such a long distance from the center of the magnetic storm.
Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng turned their heads at the same time, and saw the distant deep purple ring-shaped sea of mist blossoming like fireworks. It suddenly exploded, and like a purple sea of flowers, it spread out in all directions. It was so beautiful that it was dazzling. They dared not believe that there was such a beautiful scene in the starry sky.
However, Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng did not feel that it was beautiful. Instead, they felt a kind of horror. They saw that there was nothing left in the places that had been submerged by the purple sea. The purple sea spread extremely quickly and began to swallow the most backward transport ships, such as the one that Ling Lan had been on. It turned into dust in the starry sky, leaving no trace behind.
"Rabbit, you go down first." Before Ling Lan could say anything to let the leopard go down first, Li Lanfeng was already one step ahead. He abruptly pushed Ling Lan, who was beside him, forcefully towards the launch port of the starship.
The power of their mecha was already in a red deficit. Whether it was the magnetic storm behind them or the power of their mecha, neither allowed them to continue flying in the starry sky.
Li Lanfeng believed that with the rabbit's piloting skills, even if they were caught off guard, they would still be able to safely slide into the launch port. Li Lanfeng only had one thought at this moment. Even if he would stop here today, he could not let the rabbit's previous efforts go to waste.
Ling Lan was caught off guard and was pushed towards the launch port of the starship by Li Lanfeng. However, how agile were Ling Lan's reflexes? As she was falling, she reached out and grabbed Li Lanfeng. Then, with a somersault, she flew above Li Lanfeng and lifted both her legs to stomp down viciously on Li Lanfeng's mecha...
This was the rabbit's ultimate move that Li Lanfeng was most familiar with, the stomp technique, which was also the modified Rabbit Sky Leap. Because of this stomp, Li Lanfeng's mecha flew towards the launch port like a cannonball. He looked at the rabbit who was using the last of his energy to fly towards his mecha, and his eyes began to moisten uncontrollably.
Once again, he had become a burden to the rabbit. Once again, he had experienced the pain of being weak.
Li Lanfeng felt a sense of despair in his heart. All these years, he had been desperately tormenting himself to become stronger. Although part of the reason was to defy the heavens and change his fate, he knew that the real reason he wanted to become stronger was so that he could stand by the rabbit's side one day in the Daylight and become the rabbit's best partner. But now, it looked like this was just a joke. He was still so weak that he still did not have the right to fight side by side with the rabbit. Even if he was just a shield, the rabbit would not take him seriously...
Li Lanfeng hated his own incompetence. He could only watch with wide eyes as the rabbit, who was getting further and further away, was chased by that purple wave, getting closer and closer, as if he would be completely swallowed up in the next second...
Right then, Li Lanfeng's initially wide and wet eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He saw that the rabbit's intermediate mecha had suddenly transformed into a beautiful and flamboyant mecha. Even the eye-catching sea of purple flowers behind it could not hide the brilliance of this mecha.
Li Lanfeng was all too familiar with this mecha. It was precisely the imperial mecha that had guided the rabbit in battle when he had first recognised the rabbit. It was one of the only six top-class imperial mecha that could be exchanged for in Mecha World — — Windswept Shadow!
Ling Lan instantly switched mecha and activated all of her mecha's engines. The distance between her and Li Lanfeng would take about 5 to 6 seconds for an intermediate or advanced mecha to fly, but for an imperial mecha, it only took one second for Ling Lan to reach Li Lanfeng's side.
Ling Lan grabbed Li Lanfeng's mecha and said in exasperation, "You bastard leopard, you're so goddamn much worse than before. Do you want to commit suicide?" Because she had the secret weapon her father had given her, she had been able to calmly kick the leopard in first. But this fellow actually did not understand her painstaking efforts, leaving her to her own devices, almost angering her to death.
Li Lanfeng smiled and was just about to say something in reply when he saw that the sea of purple flowers behind Ling Lan was already coming down on them. He quickly shouted in panic, "Rabbit, watch out!"
Ling Lan turned abruptly, plugging in that precious power source she had obtained from planet X192 at the same time. The fingers of both her hands danced rapidly. In this sort of extreme danger, Ling Lan's hand speed once again broke her original speed limit.
It should be said that because she was operating a low-level mecha, Ling Lan's hand speed had always been maintained at its original level. Even though Ling Lan knew that she had improved in these past few years, due to the limitations of her circumstances, she did not know how much she had improved. And now, in an imperial mecha, Ling Lan's limited hand speed finally exploded.
"Pulsing King Shield." Ling Lan chose an equipment ability unique to imperial mecha, not forgetting to shout, "Leopard, hold on tight!"
Ever since Ling Lan had obtained Windswept Shadow, she had begun to understand some of the special equipment of imperial mecha. Of course, her father, Ling Xiao, had also given her all the information on Windswept Shadow. With Little Four's help to fill in the gaps, it could be said that Ling Lan's understanding of Windswept Shadow was no less than those imperial operators who operated Windswept Shadow.
The Pulsing King Shield was a powerful protective equipment. Even though it could not compare to the Divine Shield series of god-class IN mecha, it was still one of the best protective equipment the Federation had. It was much stronger than the protective multi-particle beam shields of most military ships. Moreover, the Pulsing King Shield was a protective shield that could be freely changed under the mecha operator's control.
Ling Lan not only wanted to protect herself and the leopard, she also wanted to protect her companions who were already in the hold of the ship. In reality, if the ship was swallowed up by this magnetic tsunami, even if Ling Lan had an imperial mecha, she would not be able to last all the way to the Swift Dragon base. This was the limitation of mecha — they could not fly long distances.
In front of the imperial mecha, a beam of white light shot up into the sky, instantly forming a large barrier several kilometres in diameter. Even though the Pulsing King Shield looked huge, it could only block the tail of the ship. This was already the limit of Ling Lan's control. The size of the pulsing range had a lot to do with the level of the operator. Ling Lan's actual control ability had yet to reach imperial level. What she was doing now was cross-level control, so she could not fully utilize some of the special functions of an imperial mecha. The same was true for the Pulsing King Shield.
In reality, it was already extremely difficult for Ling Lan to be able to send out a Pulsing King Shield of this range. Her control panel was already stained with specks of blood — cross-level control was not without a price. Ling Lan could not feel the tearing pain in her fingers at all. There was only one goal in her mind, and that was that no one in their team could die in this magnetic tsunami.
With a loud "boom", the Pulsing King Shield and the purple tsunami collided fiercely together. After a jolt, Ling Lan could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and the initially bright Pulsing King Shield instantly dimmed.
Ling Lan bit down on her lips, using the intense pain to support herself from fainting. She knew that every second the Pulsing King Shield could last was an additional guarantee for the lives of her companions.
When Ling Lan had brought out the Pulsing King Shield, Li Lanfeng had obeyed Ling Lan's orders and clung tightly to Ling Lan's mecha. When the Pulsing King Shield and the magnetic tsunami collided fiercely, their two mecha had been sent flying towards the tail of the mainship by the force of the magnetic tsunami.
At this time, Li Lanfeng was extremely calm. He only hugged his rabbit firmly. Even if he had to die together with his rabbit in this magnetic tsunami, he would not let go of his rabbit. Yes, he had already let go of his friendship with his rabbit once, so this time, he would definitely not let go again...
"Bang bang bang..." His mecha crashed straight into the tail of the mainship. As the point of contact, Li Lanfeng spat out a mouthful of blood at the first impact. The powerful impact had caused him to be seriously injured, but he still hugged the rabbit in front of him tightly, resolutely using his mecha as a 'meat cushion' for his rabbit.
The magnetic tsunami still made contact with the tail of the command mainship, and the sound of violent explosions could be heard coming from the tail of the mainship. Under the terrifying power of the magnetic tsunami, even though Ling Lan had used all her strength to use the Pulsing King Shield to neutralize the power of the magnetic tsunami, she was still unable to prevent the final fate of the mainship. The tail of the mainship was unable to completely escape, and more than a quarter of the mainship was destroyed by the magnetic tsunami...
