For a moment, Ye Chong felt like he was struck by lightning, frozen like a statue. However, this brief moment of silence was broken by a sudden surge of heat, and his pores expanded.
"Mu … Shang …" Ye Chong's tone was calm, but everyone in the captain's cabin could hear the strong emotion in his voice. Captain Airi looked at the youth in disbelief. He really could not imagine that such a cold youth could actually say such words with such strong emotions.
The holographic screen was silent for half a minute, and then the image of a mech with a broken arm appeared. Even with a broken arm, the elegance and beauty of the mech's blue and white colors were still irresistible.
"It's me!" Mu Shang's electronic voice was hard to tell from its emotions, and its blue electronic eyes flickered. Of course, for a mech, the term 'emotions' was a strange one.
"I've finally found you!" Ye Chong heaved a long sigh of relief.
Reuniting with Mu Shang lifted Ye Chong's mood, which had been low due to the incident on planet Yi Ju. His relationship with Mu Shang was more than that of ordinary friends.
However, neither Mu Shang nor Ye Chong liked to waste time on reminiscing. Ye Chong explained his current predicament to them.
"Understood. We will meet you as soon as possible. Arrival time is 15 minutes later, with a maximum margin of error of plus or minus 7 hours. " Mu Shang did not give Ye Chong any suggestions, but simply stated his arrival time. However, this made Ye Chong happy. Ever since he was separated from Mu Shang, he had missed the mech.
Rui Bing looked at the mech with the broken arm on the holographic screen in surprise. She seemed to recognize it.
Mu spoke abruptly, "Oh, Shang wants to speak to you. While it's not his shift time now, due to the special circumstances, I've agreed!"
Ye Chong paused, and the voice on the holographic screen changed. "Little Ye, hehe, long time no see! You're getting more and more handsome. Ah, you've already gotten Bing Bing? "Shang's voice was still as nasty as Ye Chong remembered it to be.
Rui Bing blushed.
Rui Bing's blush made Shang even more excited. "Bing Bing, how far are you and Little Ye now? How's it going? Uh, I say, Bing Bing, you have to take the initiative in some aspects. Little Yezi doesn't understand anything. Ah, it actually grew bigger. There's a discrepancy with the data in my database. It seems like I need to update the database. But I have to say, Bing Bing's development is really good … "
Shang continued to tease Rui Bing, his words full of excitement, completely ignoring Ye Chong.
Rui Bing's face, which was originally just a few strands of red, was now covered in red clouds.
Everyone else in the captain's cabin stared at the holographic screen in astonishment. No one had expected the mech's cold demeanor to change so drastically.
Ye Chong did not get annoyed by the incessant chatter. A warm feeling flowed through his heart. Yes, it was warm.
On Planet Yi Ju, the Papatte Mech Squad had become the strongest force there. Ever since Papatte Mech Squad arrived at Yi Ju, the pirates in the vicinity had completely disappeared. Unlike other mech squads, the Papatte Mech Squad had always kept their doors tightly shut, refusing all visitors. Even Planet Yi Ju's Chief Executive Officer Torres's request to visit was rejected without hesitation.
However, no one dared to be dissatisfied with this. There was only one reason, and that was that they were too powerful!
Their external affairs were handled by a person called Old Chief Guo.
All the residents of Yi Ju knew that as long as the Papatte Mech Squad was entrusted to them, there was nothing they could not accomplish. Since the beginning, the Papatte Mech Squad's mission completion rate was as high as 98%. Other than that, the Papatte Mech Squad's strict discipline was commendable. Even the residents of Terry City had never seen the mech pilots from the base leave their homes, let alone cause any disturbances to the residents.
The only puzzling thing was that such a strong mid-sized mech squad was stationed in a remote area like Yi Ju. Even more strangely, they only accepted missions from the vicinity of Yi Ju. No matter how much the client offered, they would always reject the mission if it was outside of Yi Ju's vicinity.
Every once in a while, a large amount of resources would be transported to the base. The huge fleet of trade ships had greatly boosted Terry City's economy.
The tightly shut mech squad had always been mysterious to the residents.
However, today, everything changed!
The tightly shut door of the Papatte Mech Squad's base suddenly opened. Countless strange flying transports took to the skies, and the quiet base immediately became busy.
All the areas around Yi Ju were immediately taken over by the Papatte Mech Squad, and all starships and mechs were ordered to land. Within a day, the atmosphere on Yi Ju had become unprecedentedly tense.
Torres's forehead was drenched in sweat since 8 o 'clock in the morning. The cool autumn weather had suddenly turned hot, and his clothes were soaked in sweat. His pale, chubby face was covered in sweat, and his beady eyes were filled with fear and unease.
"What are they trying to do?" Torres gritted his teeth. When he heard about the Papatte Mech Squad's strange movements, he immediately boarded his starship and headed for Terry City. After all, while the Papatte Mech Squad had always kept a low profile, their position as the number one force on Yi Ju had long been acknowledged by almost everyone on Yi Ju.
Having such a powerful force under his jurisdiction was a headache for him, but he could not do anything about it. Yi Ju was located in a remote area, economically backward, and sparsely populated. As the public's elected Executive, Torres did not have much fighting power on his hands. His position was also a casual one, and did not have much to do.
Unexpectedly, the arrival of the Papatte Mech Squad had actually made things easier for him. Due to the Papatte Mech Squad's arrival, the occasional pirate activity in the nearby areas had long disappeared. The Papatte Mech Squad, on the other hand, was extremely disciplined. There had never been any incidents of foul play, and they would even take the initiative to maintain the local order. He had always had a good impression of this mysterious mech squad.
However, today, he suddenly received news from his subordinates that the Papatte Mech Squad was on a big operation. This came as a shock to him. After so long, the Papatte Mech Squad's influence on Yi Ju was no longer what it was when they first arrived. Their every move would have a profound impact on the entire planet.
However, he was not too worried. No one knew Yi Ju better than him. There was no profit to be made here. Moreover, the Papatte Mech Squad did not have a single record of foul play in this area.
He had only planned to meet Old Chief Guo, who was in charge of external affairs, to find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, his ship encountered the Papatte Mech Squad's mechs on the way, even though there was nothing on the holographic screen.
He had been ordered to make an emergency landing!
"The squad has forcefully taken control of Yi Ju's airspace! All aircrafts, please make an immediate landing! All aircrafts, please make an immediate landing! In five minutes, all targets in the air will be attacked! Countdown of five minutes, begin! " A man's cold voice came from the comms channel. The decisive killing intent made Torres believe that if he did not make an immediate landing, the other party would attack without hesitation! After all, Torres was quite capable to be able to hold his position.
"Sir! Our holographic scanning system did not detect any targets! " The crewman's voice was filled with fear. Torres could even hear his teeth chattering.
"Countdown of three minutes!" The cold, emotionless voice rang out again in the comms channel.
The crewman shuddered.
Torres clenched his teeth, and squeezed the words out, "Make an immediate landing!"
The crewman looked relieved, and controlled the ship to make an emergency landing as quickly as he could. He looked as if he hated himself for not having a pair of hands!
Torres's ship landed safely. Just as Torres was about to negotiate with the Papatte Mech Squad, they left him with a single word and flew away in their strange spaceships.
"If you take to the skies again, we will not issue any more warnings. We will kill you immediately! Life is of utmost importance, do not attempt this! Thank you for your cooperation! "
Torres watched as the mechs grew smaller and smaller in his eyes, until they disappeared into the sky. His expression was grim. He turned and ordered, "Prepare the transport. We need to get to Terry City as soon as possible." The anger in Torres's heart disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of unease. What were they trying to do?
In a short period of time, there were no other mechs in the skies of Yi Ju other than the Papatte Mech Squad.
The unusual behavior of the Papatte Mech Squad had spread rumors all over Yi Ju, and everyone was in a state of panic. However, no one dared to speak up, because there was a rumor that a starship had been destroyed for refusing to land. Even though the Papatte Mech Squad had always kept a low profile, no one doubted their strength.
Every resident of Planet Yi Ju knew that something big was about to happen. Otherwise, why would the usually low-profile Papatte Mech Squad be so high-profile?
What was going to happen? Everyone was waiting anxiously! What kind of impact would the upcoming event have on the people here? How would their lives be changed?
