Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Due to these reasons, Zilong's group of seven had luckily survived, not daring to be blasted to the rear of the starship by the explosion. Of course, all of them had suffered severe internal injuries as a result. It had to be said that having Li Shiyu around was an advantage — he had immediately taken out the special-class agents he had developed, and injuries that would have taken one or two days to heal were mostly healed in just a few minutes.
Initially, Zilong's group had wanted to search for Boss Ling Lan and [Self-Defined Destiny] at the tail end, but the residual power of the magnetic storm and the depleted power of their mecha prevented them from approaching the tail end. Just as they were at their wits' end, [No Mecha Unrepaired] discovered a secret. As long as the mecha around them were not damaged by more than 40%, they could be collected by players.
After discovering this secret, Zilong's group of seven was overjoyed. This meant that they now had a chance to go to the tail end to look for Boss Lan. They looked around and found that there were more than ten mecha that could be collected, undamaged by the magnetic storm. The seven of them picked out the best seven mecha and changed into them. Just as they were about to head to the tail end, they heard a mecha operator appear in the middle section of the starship to investigate the situation.
The damage caused by the magnetic storm had caused the entire starship to be mostly damaged. Not only had the staff at the tail end been sacrificed, even the middle section had lost some staff members who did not have much protection or mecha operators who were not in their mecha due to the power of the explosion. It could truly be said that the casualties were heavy.
Although the command centre of the starship believed that there were basically no survivors at the tail end, they still sent a mecha team over to investigate. Initially, Zilong's team had wanted to hide when they discovered the mecha team on the starship, but Han Jijun had a flash of inspiration and ordered his team members to meet them head-on.
Sure enough, when the mecha team saw them, they were not suspicious at all. Instead, they were so excited that they almost cried. They had initially thought that their comrades at the tail end had all been sacrificed, but unexpectedly, there were still survivors... this made them overjoyed, so much so that they did not even think to ask for the other's team number or any other relevant information.
Just like that, Zilong's group was brought into the safety zone of the starship. When they were found to be riddled with wounds, they were arranged to lie down in the treatment pods for the night.
In truth, Zilong and the others still had a fatal flaw — their mecha control suits were not official military control suits. They were just civilian control suits copied from Mecha World, so there were still some differences between them and official mecha suits. However, they were very smart. They tore open the parts of their suits that were easily exposed. Zilong almost came out naked. At the same time, they were ruthless enough to decisively injure themselves, staining what remained of their control suits red. The incessant bleeding caused the medical staff to neglect the control suits. Everyone's attention was focused on their injuries, allowing them to overcome the most difficult hurdle.
After a night of rest, they put on the military uniforms that had been assigned to them at the last minute. As the dormitory of the mecha operators at the tail end had also been destroyed by the explosion, their clothes and daily necessities naturally could not be found. The logisticians of the starship naturally had to think for them. Not only did they have military uniforms, they had also sent over a full set of official military mecha control suits. This made Zilong and the others secretly smile — they were finally safe.
Of course, there was another reason why the rescue logisticians of the starship believed that they were the starship's mecha operators. The staff members familiar with the mecha at the tail end, as well as their JMCs, had all been sacrificed in that explosion. This was also why Zilong's group of seven had been able to infiltrate the starship so easily. They subconsciously believed that the mecha operators operating the mecha belonging to their starship were naturally their own people.
They did not think that anyone would be able to infiltrate without a sound, so no one doubted the origins of Zilong's group. They were only secretly glad that their comrades at the tail end had not been completely wiped out. There were still some lucky ones who had survived — this was also a form of consolation for them.
The other reason why they had let Zilong's group off so easily was that they did not dare to meet the pleading and questioning eyes of Zilong's group. This was because after the rescue team had found Zilong's group of seven, they had found that the air within the starship had begun to leak out. The starship did not have enough power to create air to maintain the balance of the air within the ship. To ensure the safety of the people at the tail end, the commanding officer had no choice but to stop the search and rescue operation and close the airlock at the tail end to prevent the air from continuing to leak out.
Although Zilong's group of seven had repeatedly pleaded for the search and rescue operation, saying that there must still be mecha operators alive at the tail end, in the end, they still did not succeed in entering the tail end. Time waited for no one — they needed to be responsible for the remaining people. Thus, they had no choice but to close the airlock and stop the search and rescue operation.
The hopeful expressions of Zilong's group made the search and rescue soldiers feel guilty, instinctively letting down their comrades at the tail end. Thus, after sending them into the recovery pods, they subconsciously avoided them. No one was willing to verify their identities, because they were afraid that the other would ask about the final results of the search and rescue... just like that, Zilong's group once again avoided the possibility of being exposed.
It had to be said that Zilong's group was very lucky. The surviving soldiers on the starship were all grieving for their comrades who had lost almost half their lives, so they treated the survivors extremely well, skipping some of the necessary verification procedures. Meanwhile, when the commanding officer received the report that there were still surviving mecha operators at the tail end, he did not think too much about it. He only signalled for the staff to take good care of them and that was it. This was because at that time, the commanding officer had been fretting over how he should bring this battered and battered mainship back to the Swift Dragon base...
"The other party is indeed a rescue ship from the Swift Dragon base. We should be able to enter the Swift Dragon base successfully... I just don't know how Boss, [Self-Defined Destiny] and the others are doing now. Are they safe..." said Xie Yi softly, unable to hide the worry between her brows. She did not know whether Boss Lan had successfully survived that magnetic tsunami.
"Don't worry. Who is Boss? Since we all survived, Boss will definitely survive," replied Luo Lang softly, his gaze resolute and resolute. Luo Lang was the one who supported Ling Lan the most. In Luo Lang's eyes, his boss would not be defeated, not even by a terrifying magnetic tsunami.
Han Jijun nodded and said, "Luo Lang is right. Boss will definitely be fine. What we need to do now is not consider how Boss is doing, but how to infiltrate the Swift Dragon base without any flaws before Boss finds us." Han Jijun believed that the difficulties were still to come. They needed to make preparations early. "Once we've settled down at the Swift Dragon base, I believe they will definitely register the information of the survivors on the ship. However, we don't know the information of the members of the ship. At that time, we will definitely be exposed."
"If only Boss was here. He's a hacker — he would definitely be able to find information on the tail mecha operators and find the most suitable identities for us." A trace of regret flashed through Lin Zhong-qing's eyes. He had also thought of this point. Because the ship had been severely damaged, most of the soldiers had died in the magnetic tsunami. They had not even had time to clean up the mess, so they had no energy to check on the survivors. However, when everything had stabilised, both the commander of the ship and the leader of the Swift Dragon base would carry out this operation. Just as Han Jijun had said, exposure was right before their eyes.
At this point, Lin Zhong-qing could not help but smile bitterly. Once again, he found that Boss Lan was indeed an omnipotent existence. It was as if as long as he was around, any problem would not be a problem, easily resolved.
"Speaking of hackers, I seem to have heard [Self-Defined Destiny] say before that he is also a hacker. If he was here, perhaps he would have been able to get hold of this information..." Xie Yi recalled what [Self-Defined Destiny] had said on the transport ship and said regretfully.
"Oh, right! How unlucky. If he was here, we would be much safer... "Zilong said somewhat vexedly," If I had known earlier, I would have let [Self-Defined Destiny] enter the ship first. "
"It's too late to say all this now. Why don't we pool our ideas and think about how we should deal with this?" Li Shiyu interrupted Zilong's words, reminding everyone not to let their imaginations run wild.
Han Jijun nodded at these words and said, "Dux Li is right. The only two hackers in the team are not here, so we can forget about using the abilities of hackers to get hold of information. Let's think of some other way."
The few of them began to rack their brains, but unfortunately, they could not come up with a good idea. Xie Yi saw [No Mecha Unrepaired], who was Chang Xinyuan, who had retained two years in the military academy in the real world and was currently still a second-year cadet who had caught the eye of the Thunder King and was now in a difficult situation, staring blankly at a certain corner.
Xie Yi followed his gaze, but found that other than a spider spinning a web, there was nothing else... he looked suspiciously at [No Mecha Unrepaired] Chang Xinyuan. Could he have thought of something?
Chang Xinyuan seemed to sense Xie Yi's burning gaze and slowly regained his senses. He smiled sheepishly and asked, "Xie Yi, you, is something the matter?"
"You're staring blankly at a certain spot. Are you thinking of something?" asked Xie Yi curiously.
Chang Xinyuan rubbed his head sheepishly and said, "I just didn't expect [Lingtian First-String] to actually be that Boss Lan who defeated the Leiting Mecha Clan. I also didn't expect that I would join your battle clan... this makes me feel like I'm in a dream..."
Xie Yi was instantly rendered speechless. When they had first come out of their mecha, Chang Xinyuan's expression had been calm and collected. They had thought that the other did not recognise them, so they had not taken it to heart. Unexpectedly, Chang Xinyuan was completely aware of their background. It was just that, only now, a hint had appeared. Was it because he had disguised himself too well, or was his reflexes abnormally slow, only now noticing?
Chang Xinyuan's words rendered the others speechless as well. It had already been a night. Friend, isn't it a little too late for you to be lamenting now?
The sharp gazes of the six people made [No Mecha Unrepaired] feel rather uneasy. He rubbed his head once more and said, "Actually, just now, I was thinking about the words Boss Lan said to us when we set out." Unknowingly, Chang Xinyuan had begun following Zilong and the others in calling him Boss Lan.
