This is a good opportunity. Let your leopard fight for a while longer — perhaps it will be easier for him to find his own operating style. "
With no other enemies nearby, Little Four also relaxed. He took out a lollipop from who knows where and licked it as he expressed his opinion. Little Four, who had been exchanging mecha opinions with Instructor Number Three all this time, now had a bit of the air of a mecha instructor. Of course, the lollipop in his hand, his short stature, and his childish face were ignored first.
Ling Lan agreed wholeheartedly with Little Four's opinion. This was undoubtedly a chance for the leopard to improve his abilities once more. She decided to stand by and watch, and so instructed Little Four, "Little Four, pay close attention to the surroundings. If there are any enemies approaching, inform me immediately." That said, Ling Lan gripped the giant sword in her hand. If there really were any enemies approaching, she would have to take action to ensure the safety of her companions.
Hearing this, Little Four patted his chest and promised that he would take care of everything.
Ling Lan thought about how Little Four might make small mistakes from time to time, but when it came to important matters, he had never failed to live up to her trust. Thus, she felt reassured. She operated her mecha and with a quick flash, her mecha suddenly disappeared from where it had been. In the next second, she had reappeared at Luo Lang, who was closest to her.
Although Little Four had repeatedly assured her that Zilong and the other two were fine and had only been knocked unconscious by the force of the explosion, Ling Lan was still worried and decided to check on them personally.
Meanwhile, at this time, the five mecha fighting in the air had actually become Li Lanfeng facing off against the special-class mecha. Li Shiyu, Han Jijun, and Lin Zhong-qing were completely unable to intervene in the battle between the two. At most, they could only look for opportunities from afar to fire beam guns to assist Li Lanfeng.
This situation had been created because the opponent's strength had multiplied due to his rage, so they could no longer go up and block like they had at the start. If they went up to intercept him now, they would definitely be sent flying by the opponent's sword. In terms of strength, they were no longer a match for the current special-class mecha.
Secondly, it was also because Li Lanfeng's battle prowess had also increased exponentially upon his return. Even though he was operating an advanced mecha, he was not much weaker than the opponent in terms of strength and technique. Many times, when they had accidentally fallen into danger, they had relied on Li Lanfeng's powerful rescue to get them out of danger. These facts made them understand that they could no longer intervene in the current battle.
After trembling for a minute or two, Li Lanfeng finally got used to the opponent's attack power and attack frequency. The situation was much better than it had been at the start. This allowed the three of them who could only shoot beam guns in the distance to relax. They had been very afraid that Li Lanfeng, who was fighting against a special-class operator all by himself, would be in danger in the next second. This had made them tremble in fear.
The moment Ling Lan arrived at Luo Lang's side, she saw that Luo Lang's mecha had been damaged by the energy of the special-class mecha's self-destruction. The light that represented the beam shield on Luo Lang's mecha's outer shell was almost invisible, making the entire mecha appear dim and lightless. The outer shell of the mecha was covered in countless scars, some shallow and some deep. Some of the scars had even penetrated the mecha's bottom, vaguely revealing the densely packed components and wiring inside. Fortunately, the cockpit, which had the weakest defence, did not have any fatal wounds. This allowed Ling Lan to relax, knowing that Luo Lang would be fine.
Right then, Little Four, who had been focused on the battle in the air, suddenly had a flash in his eyes. He told Ling Lan that Luo Lang had reacted in the cockpit.
Hearing this, Ling Lan immediately connected to Luo Lang's comms button and shouted, "Luo Lang, this is Ling Lan. Please answer if you hear me."
"Boss..." After calling out a few times, Luo Lang's weak voice finally rang out from the other end of the comms channel.
"Are you hurt? Do you want Li Shiyu to come down and treat you?" asked Ling Lan concernedly.
"No need, Boss. Before Senior Shiyu set off, he already gave us several first-aid agents as backup. I've already drunk them just now. I feel much better now." Luo Lang's voice was much stronger than it had been at the start, proving that his condition was indeed improving.
Knowing that Luo Lang was fine, Ling Lan was just about to go check on Zilong's condition 50 metres away when, before she could move, she saw Zilong's mecha abruptly sit up.
Ling Lan was overjoyed. In the next second, she came to Zilong's side and asked, "Zilong, how are you feeling?"
Little Four had said that Zilong's injuries were about the same as Luo Lang's. From the looks of it, Zilong's monstrous physique was indeed true. Luo Lang's injuries had to be slowly healed with first-aid agents, while Zilong's condition was clearly much better.
Sure enough, Zilong's reply proved this point. "I'm fine, Boss. I just fainted for a while. I'm not injured." Zilong's powerful voice proved that he was still very strong...
"Since you're fine, come with me to check on Xie Yi. I think Xie Yi's injuries are not light this time." Ling Lan was worried about Xie Yi, so she instructed Zilong. The two of them quickly arrived at the dense forest and found Xie Yi, who had been smashed into several towering trees by the explosion.
Reality proved that Ling Lan's guess was right. Xie Yi was indeed the most pitiful one. Xie Yi's mecha had been the closest to the self-destructing mecha, so she had suffered the most from the explosion. Following that, there had been a series of collisions, causing Xie Yi's mecha to be badly damaged. The entire mecha no longer had the glow of a beam shield. Instead, the mecha's original colour was grey.
There was no way to ensure that the mecha was in one piece. Its left arm had been severed from the shoulder, revealing all sorts of broken wires sparkling with sparks. Its right leg had been shattered by the explosion, and the cockpit was full of holes. There was even a deep dent at the edge of the cockpit that was slanted upwards...
Seeing the frightening wound on the cockpit, Zilong's expression changed abruptly. He immediately operated his mecha so that it was in a half-crouched position, and then quickly opened the cockpit door. Unable to wait for the lift platform to descend, Zilong chose to jump out of the cockpit.
After landing, Zilong rolled on the ground, easily dissipating the force of his landing. Then, he bounced up from the ground and used both his hands and feet to climb up to Xie Yi's cockpit.
All the members of a team had the same password for their cockpits. The reason for this was because they were afraid that such a situation would occur and they would need help from their teammates. Zilong was at a certain spot on the left side of the cockpit. His five fingers were clenched tightly together, and with great force, he pulled open a small metal cover, revealing a number keypad. He quickly entered a string of numbers on the keypad, and with a "click", the cockpit door was unlocked. The entire cockpit opened automatically, revealing a window large enough for an adult to enter.
Zilong immediately leaned in. Not long after, he carried Xie Yi out. Xie Yi was currently unconscious. There were still traces of blood at the corner of her mouth due to her injuries. It looked like she had suffered some serious internal injuries.
"How is Xie Yi?" Seeing this, Ling Lan immediately asked worriedly.
"She's alright. She only suffered some internal injuries. Just now, I've already given her the first aid agent that Senior Shiyu gave her. She should be fine now." Zilong's complexion looked better now. When he went in just now, he was almost scared to death when he saw the pale and barely breathing Xie Yi. He was really afraid that this cheerful fellow who had been with them for more than three years would leave them just like that.
However, Senior Shiyu's first aid agent was really good. After a few seconds, Xie Yi's complexion looked much better. Her breathing had also stabilized. It looked like he had to communicate with Senior Shiyu properly in the future. Zilong thought to himself as he looked at Li Shiyu, who was in mid-air looking for an opportunity to shoot.
After knowing that Xie Yi was fine, Ling Lan was relieved. She instructed Zilong to take good care of Xie Yi.
"Got it, Boss," Zilong replied seriously. He walked back to his mecha and went up the elevator platform. He carried Xie Yi into his mecha and carefully placed Xie Yi on his co-pilot seat. He then used the seatbelt to secure her.
After doing all this, Zilong closed the cockpit. He activated his mecha and slowly rose into the air. Zilong knew that from now on, he was no longer fighting for himself. He was fighting to protect Xie Yi. He had to ensure that his mecha wouldn't be shot down because other than himself, Xie Yi was also in the mecha.
"Xie Yi, we will definitely survive." Qi Long's eyes flashed fiercely as he muttered to himself. While he was talking to Xie Yi, he was also talking to himself.
Zilong, who was focused on operating his mecha, didn't notice that the unconscious Xie Yi beside him made an almost inaudible sound — Yes!
Xie Yi was transferred into Zilong's mecha. This made Ling Lan feel much more at ease. After dealing with Zilong and the other two, Ling Lan finally focused all her attention on Li Lanfeng, who was in the middle of a battle.
"Huh? He actually turned the situation around? " Ling Lan was a little surprised. When she went to check on Li Lanfeng, he was still at a disadvantage. He could only parry and couldn't retaliate.
"Yes, Boss. Your leopard is really talented in mecha piloting. He quickly adapted to his abilities after advancing and was able to bring out all the hidden abilities of an advanced mecha," Little Four had been paying attention to Li Lanfeng's battle. Seeing his boss's surprise, he opened his mouth to explain.
"Yes, the leopard's control talent is indeed very good." Back then, she had already known this. When the two of them had been practicing their basic controls together, she had been given much more time to practice because she had the cheat of the learning space. However, in the end, her results had only been slightly better than the leopard's. If she hadn't had the support of these golden fingers, perhaps she would have lost to the leopard back then.
Hearing Ling Lan agree with his words, Little Four instantly broke into a smile. However, very quickly, his bun-like face scrunched up again. Frowning, he said uncomprehendingly, "However, your leopard seems to have some problems with his physique."
Ling Lan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Your leopard's stamina seems to be running out... he can only hold out for another two minutes at most." Little Four, who had been monitoring Li Lanfeng's current state, knew very well.
