Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan's choice was made in an instant. She saw the special-class mecha's beam saber stab viciously towards Li Lanfeng's cockpit. Every mecha operator knew that once the opponent's cockpit was destroyed, it would mean the end of the battle, and the final victory would belong to them.
"Dodge!"
"Careful!"
"Danger!"
The spectating members of Ling Lan's team could only cry out helplessly at this dangerous scene. Zilong and Luo Lang were not proficient in long-range attacks, so they could only stay on the ground and watch helplessly as danger appeared before them.
Because they preferred close combat, the techniques they operated were also more towards close combat, not placing much emphasis on long-range attack techniques. Right then, the two of them were filled with regret. They finally understood why Boss Lan had inadvertently reminded them that even if they were proficient in close combat techniques, they should not completely give up on long-range attacks...
It turned out that when a companion's life was in danger, mastering an additional set of techniques could very well turn the situation around and save the companion... just like now, if they were proficient in long-range attacks, they would have long been shooting furiously to help Li Lanfeng block the enemy.
Li Shiyu, Han Jijun, and Lin Zhong-qing also felt their own helplessness at this moment. If their mecha operating skills had been just a little higher, they would not have been left so far behind. Furthermore, they also felt that there was a problem with the teamwork between their team members. For example, right now, they were chasing after Li Lanfeng, but they had not expected the three of them to split up and squeeze together, resulting in their shooting paths being blocked by Li Lanfeng...
In other words, even if they had long-range shooting skills, they did not dare to shoot right now. This was because they could not guarantee that before their shots hit the special-class mecha, they would not be able to hit Li Lanfeng, who was further in front.
Everyone could only watch helplessly as that beam saber stabbed towards Li Lanfeng's cockpit...
"Swoosh!" This was the sound of a beam saber piercing through mecha. Li Shiyu and the other two following behind Li Lanfeng saw a beam saber suddenly appear through Li Lanfeng's body to appear behind him. In unplanned unison, all of them felt a wave of despair wash over them. Was that gentle, perpetually smiling good guy going to have his wings broken here?
Only Ling Lan, who was standing on the ground and watching the battle, calmly lowered her raised mecha's right hand, and leisurely operated her mecha to put the beam handgun back on her back.
Ling Lan had just finished this action when the two stationary mecha in the air suddenly moved. Li Lanfeng's mecha suddenly lifted its leg and kicked away the special-class mecha that was stuck tightly to its body.
That special-class mecha was sent flying into the air by Li Lanfeng's kick, but it didn't make any movements to resist. Those with extremely sharp eyes could see that there was a hilt-like object protruding from his cockpit. At the back of the mecha, there was also a flickering light flickering...
Flying in the air, the special-class mecha did not make any moves to resist. Under the gravitational pull of planet Newline, the entire mecha began to plummet towards the ground at high speed. At this moment, the protruding sword hilt on his cockpit suddenly fell down. At the same time, the flickering light behind him stopped abruptly.
Without the cover of the sword hilt, a large, pitch-black hole suddenly appeared on the mecha's cockpit, piercing right through to the other side...
With a loud 'bang', the special-class mecha crashed heavily to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. Perhaps because the special-class mecha's components were extremely sturdy, it did not fall apart.
At this moment, the dazed crowd suddenly understood that the victor of this battle was actually their companion Li Lanfeng, and not the enemy they had thought it would be, that special-class mecha.
Li Shiyu and the other two who had been desperately pouncing towards Li Lanfeng, unwilling to give up, wanting to win that one in a million chance, were instantly overjoyed at this sight. They were just about to fly over to congratulate Li Lanfeng when they saw Li Lanfeng, who had won this battle and was still hanging proudly in the air, suddenly lose control of his mecha and fall abruptly.
This unexpected scene caused the expressions of the initially overjoyed team members to change drastically once more. Without prior agreement, they operated their mecha to pounce forward... those in the air hoped to be able to pull the falling mecha back, while those on the ground hoped to be able to catch the mecha before it hit the ground...
However, without a doubt, as they were relatively far away, it was almost impossible for them to accomplish this goal. Even so, they did not give up, still pushing the power of their mecha's engines to the maximum...
Mentally prepared, Ling Lan's mecha suddenly flashed in the instant Li Lanfeng's mecha lost control, disappearing from where she had been standing... and in the next second, she appeared right below where Li Lanfeng had fallen. With a powerful leap, her entire mecha flew more than 10 metres into the air, catching the falling Li Lanfeng's mecha by the waist...
Seeing this, the other members of Ling Lan's team relaxed. They had actually forgotten that Boss Lan was still standing guard below them. Everyone operated their mecha to stop.
Little Four was the only one who went crazy when he saw this scene. 'What is this? A hero saving a damsel in distress? A damsel saving a hero? Or perhaps a hero saving another hero? Or should it be called a damsel saving a damsel... ah ah ah, his chip was about to overload!
Little Four was suddenly at a loss for words. He was stunned for a moment, but he subconsciously took a picture of this scene and stored it in his database. He was prepared to continue researching this problem after his A.I. Chip had returned to normal.
"Leopard, how do you feel?" Ling Lan nimbly caught Li Lanfeng's mecha and operated her own mecha to land lightly on the ground, almost without any tremors. After steadying herself, she quickly connected to Li Lanfeng's comms channel and asked worriedly.
Even though Ling Lan's tone was as cold as usual, Li Lanfeng could still hear the deep concern hidden in Ling Lan's voice.
Li Lanfeng could not help but smile, warmth rippling through his heart. His rabbit really cared about him, otherwise he would not have saved him in the instant he had fallen to the ground...
Due to the intense battle, the metal half-mask on Li Lanfeng's face had already fallen off. If anyone had seen this radiant smile from the bottom of his heart and had a slightly lower resistance to it, regardless of gender, they would have been moved.
"I'm fine!" Li Lanfeng replied with a smile. His eyes felt a little hot, and he struggled to raise his hand to wipe away the sweat that had flowed into his eyes. Even doing such a simple action was very difficult for Li Lanfeng — he felt that his arms no longer belonged to him.
"Your mecha no longer has the energy to continue fighting." Ling Lan swiftly checked Li Lanfeng's mecha. The dull outer shell without any energy made her frown. In this kind of dangerous battlefield, it was very dangerous to not have the protection of a mecha... Ling Lan instantly made a decision. "Sit in my mecha later."
"Ah, oh, okay ~!" Li Lanfeng was stunned by Ling Lan's words. However, he quickly regained his senses and replied happily, "Yes. Did this mean that his performance this time had gained the rabbit's approval? At this thought, Li Lanfeng's entire being became excited. His body, which had been unable to move at all, seemed to have gained new strength.
He put on the metal mask that had fallen to the side once more, and after Ling Lan placed his mecha on the ground, he opened the cockpit and climbed out with all his might. Of course, his current movements were not as nimble as usual. In fact, he looked rather disheveled, because he had half fallen and half crawled out.
Climbing up from the ground, he then walked step by step to the foot of Ling Lan's mecha. This action, which usually looked extremely simple, now took Li Lanfeng a tremendous amount of effort to accomplish.
Li Lanfeng had just walked to the foot of Ling Lan's mecha when the elevator platform he had boarded to the ground at almost the same time. Li Lanfeng smiled wryly. It looked like the rabbit was also very clear about his situation, almost calculating the exact time he would arrive. Although Li Lanfeng was somewhat vexed and ashamed, his excitement quickly chased away these complicated thoughts... he took a deep breath and then resolutely lifted his leg and stepped onto the platform.
The elevator platform slowly ascended. Before it reached the cockpit, Li Lanfeng saw that Ling Lan was already standing outside the cockpit, reaching her hand over...
The corners of Li Lanfeng's lips turned up slightly, and he decisively placed his hand in Ling Lan's. Ling Lan's fingers were somewhat cold, but her palm was very warm. This warmth made his violently beating heart calm down. How could one feel so safe when held tightly by someone they trusted...
Just as Li Lanfeng was sighing with emotion, a strong force came from Ling Lan's hand. In the next second, his entire body was pulled into the cockpit by the other, and thrown into the co-pilot seat...
"Sit properly!" Ling Lan ordered directly. Her cold gaze swept calmly over Li Lanfeng, as if very dissatisfied with Li Lanfeng's procrastination just now. This glance made Li Lanfeng's entire body tremble. His mind instantly cleared, and all those boring feelings in his heart were swept away. He did not dare to hesitate any longer, quickly fastening himself firmly into the co-pilot seat with the seatbelt.
Sob sob sob, he did not want the rabbit to think that he was a burden!!! Li Lanfeng, who was still a little scared, could not feel the various soreness and discomfort in his body at this moment. When he did these movements, he was clearly much more agile than before. As expected, when a person's attention was diverted, it had a pain-relieving effect.
Seeing Li Lanfeng's movements become more agile, Ling Lan closed the cockpit in satisfaction and activated the mecha. She had been really annoyed by the leopard's slow movements just now. As expected, she was an impatient person... it looked like she really needed to think of a way to completely solve the leopard's physical problems, Ling Lan thought.
As there were no other enemies around, Ling Lan did not let Little Four do an emergency activation, choosing instead to activate normally. Two minutes later, the mecha's normal activation was completed.
This was already the result of Little Four greatly slowing down. Otherwise, even if the mecha had activated normally, the A.I. that had been optimized by Little Four would definitely be able to complete the activation process within one minute. However, this time frame was really too frightening. Even an imperial mecha would not be able to complete the activation process within one minute. Although Ling Lan trusted the leopard, Little Four's existence was too strange. In order to avoid trouble, and also to protect Little Four, Ling Lan still chose to conceal it.
