Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan, who had been waiting for her team members to gather, did not wait for nothing. She took out a long-range beam gun from her back and aimed downwards, firing a shot aimlessly.
A blinding beam of light cut through the night sky, descending from the sky.
With a muffled "bang", the beam hit the ground. There was no loud sound, but that blinding beam of light instantly disappeared without a trace, as if it had been swallowed by something.
"This feeling, it doesn't seem like the ground below." Ling Lan frowned, and with a serious expression, she asked Little Four, "Little Four, what did you discover from that shot just now?"
"According to the reaction of the beam, it seems to be more like liquid below." Because they were still two to three hundred metres above the ground, the darkness of the night still gave Little Four quite a bit of trouble in retrieving information just by relying on the mecha's long-range recording.
"Boss, the mecha is here." Just as Ling Lan wanted to take a closer look, Little Four suddenly alerted Ling Lan that there was a situation.
"Boss!" After entering the team's communication range, Ling Lan heard a familiar rooster's voice in the comms channel. However, his voice right now was colder than usual.
"It's Luo Lang!" Ling Lan's lips quirked up slightly. She had not expected Luo Lang to be the first to find them. However, thinking of Luo Lang's voice just now, she knew that Luo Lang had activated the calm personality. When Luo Lang had this personality, his mecha piloting skills had skyrocketed, entering the realm of special-class operator in one fell swoop. This also explained why he had been able to find them so quickly.
"Boss, I'm here." Although Luo Lang was operating an advanced mecha, his speed had already reached the peak of advanced mecha, not much different from special-class mecha.
"Luo Lang, I'll go down and check out the situation. I'll leave this to you." Ling Lan threw out these words, and then operated her mecha to fly downwards quickly.
Hearing this, Luo Lang quickly took out his beam saber and short-range beam gun from his back. In the darkness where there was no light, a beam saber imbued with light was more suitable than a cold weapon. Of course, this referred to close combat. However, at this moment, it was not suitable to activate the beam saber. Although the beam saber could illuminate a distance of 40 to 50 meters, it would also make him a target for sneak attacks. Luo Lang, who had activated the calm personality, would of course not make such a low-level mistake.
Luo Lang's gaze became even calmer. He cautiously observed his surroundings. Boss Lan's seemingly simple words were actually placing his safety in Luo Lang's hands. Thus, even though Luo Lang had activated his calm personality, he still felt a great deal of pressure.
However, even if that was the case, he would not betray his boss's trust in him! In the cockpit, Luo Lang clenched his fists tightly.
Suddenly, he felt movement in the thick darkness to his right. Without thinking, he raised his short-range beam gun and fired.
"F * ck, murder!" Zilong, who had just arrived, didn't even have time to catch his breath when he felt a great danger approaching. In that instant, the speed of his hands had definitely broken his record. It was also because of this miraculous reflex that he was able to dodge this unexpected attack.
Only then did Zilong notice that there was actually a mecha hidden in the darkness a few dozen meters away from him.
Hearing a loud voice suddenly explode in the team's comms channel, Luo Lang knew that the flood had rushed to the Dragon King's temple and that they were fighting each other. He put away his gun and said coldly, "So, it's you, Zilong."
"Luo Lang … uh, you can be considered Luo Lang. Why didn't you say anything before firing?" Zilong saw a familiar face and also put away the weapon in his hands. He operated his mecha and moved in front of Luo Lang.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were coming back?" Luo Lang asked coldly. There was even a hint of reproach in his tone.
Zilong touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I … I just rushed over."
"You deserve it!" Luo Lang glanced at Zilong with disdain. Don't think that he is the original Luo Lang and believe whatever he says.
Zilong touched his nose speechlessly again. Then, he changed the topic and said, "Why isn't Boss here?" He actually wanted to give Boss a surprise. He thought that he was the first to arrive. He didn't expect Luo Lang to be the first to arrive. Moreover, it was Luo Lang with the calm personality. It was really hard to fool this personality.
Luo Lang didn't reply. He just pointed below. Zilong wasn't stupid. He thought of the purple signal flare that Boss shot and knew that there was definitely something wrong below. It might not be safe.
Since Boss didn't ask them to go down, Zilong didn't act on his own. He just waited with Luo Lang and watched the surroundings. Zilong knew that this was a real battle. Any danger could bring disaster to him. He didn't want to meet the Jade Emperor early because of a blind impulse.
On the other side, Ling Lan piloted her mecha and flew down. She took out her beam saber from the back and turned on the power source. The beam saber instantly emitted a strong beam of light, lighting up the surrounding 40 to 50 meters.
Ling Lan used this bit of light to go down further and further. Finally, she got close to the 'ground'. The ground was flat. It was so smooth that it started to reflect the light from the beam saber. Ling Lan's eyes were instantly blinded by the white light.
Without waiting for Ling Lan's orders, the mecha's screen instantly dimmed. Little Four directly blocked the reflected light. Thus, it didn't affect Ling Lan's vision anymore.
Ling Lan flew along the ground for a while. She noticed that the 'ground' around her was like this. She didn't know where the end was.
Ling Lan stabbed her beam saber into the 'ground'. The beam saber didn't seem to feel any resistance. It went straight into the ground, all the way to the hilt.
Ling Lan quickly lifted it up. The originally flat 'ground' started to shake because of this movement.
"The beam saber's energy was depleted by one-sixth. This water is really strange." Ling Lan looked at the screen that showed the beam saber's energy depletion and muttered to herself.
"It's water. This water might have some corrosive properties. Or maybe it has the ability to absorb energy." Ling Lan quickly put her beam saber back on the back. At the same time, she took out her cold weapon — the giant sword.
Ling Lan held the giant sword and used the tip of the sword to poke at the liquid. Then, she took out a light source and illuminated the tip of the giant sword. She noticed that water droplets were dripping off the tip of the sword. However, the body of the sword was still clean. There was no damage at all.
"Perhaps this water's corrosive properties don't have any effect on the material of the giant sword. But it's more likely that it's a mysterious existence that can absorb energy." If it really had corrosive properties, the organizers of the Mecha Grand Tournament might not have the guts to throw them down from this position. With so many mecha falling down, who knew what would happen?
Ling Lan made a few guesses and came up with a rough guess. She was just about to return to the original location where the signal flare had been fired when she noticed that the originally pitch-black darkness was starting to fade.
"Little Four, why do I feel like the night is getting lighter?" Ling Lan asked.
"Really." Ling Lan's reminder made Little Four react. The information it had gathered had indeed shown that visibility was starting to increase. "Looks like daytime is coming."
"I don't know how long this daytime will take. We should have less than six hours left before midnight on planet Qiming.
"Yup, only 5 hours and 41 minutes." Little Four dutifully reported the accurate time.
"We need to confirm our landing location as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won't be able to decide which direction to go." This place was either a river or an ocean. It was completely different from the mountain range she had drawn. Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, Ling Lan still couldn't figure out which river or ocean they were in.
After a few sentences, the night grew lighter and lighter. Daytime arrived in an instant.
At this time, Ling Lan could finally see clearly that the area they had landed in was indeed an ocean. Moreover, this ocean was very strange. Normally, it was filled with fog, making it almost impossible to see what was going on inside. However, the other side was very clear. Ling Lan could even faintly make out some rolling mountains at the end …
"Yin Yang Ocean!" Ling Lan naturally remembered the name given to this ocean on the map. Half of this ocean had clear skies for thousands of miles, with almost no rain falling. Meanwhile, the other half was always cloudy and rainy, with only a few days of clear skies. This was also why this place was called the Yin Yang Ocean.
"It seems that this side filled with fog is the Yin Ocean, and this side should be the Yang Ocean, although the sun hasn't risen yet. If we want to reach our destination, we can just walk along the Yang Ocean and go around those mountains. "Ling Lan began to calculate in her mind.
"Little Four, bring me the map of the Yin Yang Ocean," Ling Lan ordered.
Very quickly, a detailed map of the Yin Yang Ocean appeared in Ling Lan's mindspace. Indeed, this side of the Yang Ocean was very close to their base camp. According to the actual distance conversion, they should be able to reach it in one and a half hours. When Ling Lan thought of this, her heart instantly relaxed. She began to patiently wait for everyone to return.
With the arrival of daytime, the other military academies, who had no direction and did not know what to do, also began to actively gather their members. On Ling Lan's side, although most of the members had successfully gathered, there were still a few people who had not reported. The captains of the various battle teams did not just wait. They all sent out their generals to form teams to search for them.
Li Lanfeng and the others, who were the last to arrive, also came to Ling Lan's side at this time. Their faces were full of smiles. They made a victory sign to Lin Zhong-qing, who was reporting the situation of the supplies. Seeing this, Lin Zhong-qing's spirit was instantly lifted.
It turned out that the reason why they were so late was because they first went to find Lin Zhong-qing's logistics mecha team and sent over the supplies they had snatched in the end. It turned out that the ones who had waited until the end to snatch the supplies were Li Lanfeng, Zhao Jun, Han Jijun, and Xie Yi.
This idea was suggested by Li Lanfeng in the last three minutes. Han Jijun agreed, and Zhao Jun and Xie Yi volunteered to join in. In the end, they perfectly completed this pioneering project, snatching the supplies at the last moment and successfully ejecting.
After checking, the items that the four of them brought were all useful. Some of them were even items that they did not exchange for. This greatly benefited them, and also gave them a sense of accomplishment.
