Duan Hengye greeted Yu Xinlan briefly, then walked out of the infirmary.
Now, most of the people on the starship had left, following Meng Jinhuai to the interstellar battlefield. All of a sudden, the huge starship suddenly quieted down. Because the infirmary was very close to Duan Hengye's residence, Duan Hengye didn't take the hovercraft this time. Instead, he walked back.
Unlike the usual noisy corridor, because most of the people had already left, there were no more footsteps or chatter in the corridor. It had become extremely quiet. Duan Hengye heard his own footsteps clearly in his ears. Unlike before, this time, he was particularly flustered.
It was after hearing the footsteps that Duan Hengye realized how flustered he was now. But … right now, nothing had happened. Duan Hengye stood in the empty corridor, then slowly reached out his hand and placed it on his chest. He felt that other than the sound of his footsteps, his heartbeat was irregular.
"It's okay …" Duan Hengye couldn't help but mutter to himself. He wasn't a person who would easily be nervous because of inexplicable things, but now, not only was Duan Hengye nervous about Yu Xinlan's words, but he was also comforting himself in an unusually childish manner.
Although Duan Hengye didn't read the ending chapter of "Overturning the Stars", in his impression, whether it was from the author's introduction or the calm comment section, he didn't seem to see any news about the final battle. After thinking about this, Duan Hengye's heart calmed down a little.
Duan Hengye thought that when the final battle took place in the book, the new mass-produced mecha and the top-level mecha "Nan Wei" did not appear. Although the Yetian Empire faced fewer enemies at that time, their own strength was not as strong. Since Meng Jinhuai was able to deal with it in the original novel, he would definitely be able to do the same this time.
But … even though he comforted himself like this, Duan Hengye still had an invisible bomb buried deep in his heart, and that bomb was himself.
That's right, it was Duan Hengye himself.
Regardless of whether it was the new mass-produced mecha and the top-notch mecha "Nan Wei", or the final battle that was launched earlier, or the four more enemies than in the original novel. If one thought about it carefully, one would realize that these changes in the plot were all due to the appearance of Duan Hengye. Duan Hengye had already thought of this, but he didn't dare to think too deeply about it …
Duan Hengye stood at the entrance of his cabin. He took a deep breath and waited for his breathing to stabilize. Then, he extended his hand to verify his identity and entered the cabin.
It had only been an hour since Meng Jinhuai led the Yetian Empire troops to the interstellar battlefield. When Duan Hengye returned to the cabin, he realized that there was nothing for him to do. After standing quietly for a while, Duan Hengye finally sat down at his desk. He turned on his photon computer and began to track the status of Meng Jinhuai's mecha in real time.
The lights in the starship's cabin were automatic. After Duan Hengye entered the cabin, a cold light flashed across the room. The cold white light lit up and illuminated every corner of the room. Duan Hengye didn't like dark environments, but this kind of light made him feel uneasy.
At this time, two screens lit up on Duan Hengye's desk at the same time. One of them was the real-time monitoring of Meng Jinhuai's mecha, and the other was the notification interface of the military's intranet.
Although Duan Hengye's access was very high, he could understand the situation of the war just by looking at the intranet. However, because he was more used to caring about mecha data, after a period of time, Duan Hangye would often accidentally ignore the notification interface on the side. However, there was also a special prompt set up on the light screen over there. If something big happened, Duan Hangye would be able to immediately turn his attention to it through the prompt light on the screen.
Duan Hengye saw that the Meng Jinhuai's mecha was still operating well. Maybe it was because the war had just started, but the mecha's weapon system wasn't working yet. The mecha was just constantly moving around. While looking at the mecha's data, Duan Hengye slowly leaned back on the soft leather chair.
Because his gaze moved to the back, Duan Hengye could now see two large screens at the same time. Although Duan Hengye mainly focused on the mecha's movements, he would occasionally glance to the side.
Just now, Duan Hengye's appearance when he left the infirmary was a little strange. Yu Xinlan had just woken up and didn't have the energy to ask him about it. Now that the series of examinations was finally over, Yu Xinlan was also allowed to look at the optical supercomputer. Although she couldn't leave the infirmary for the time being, she still sent a message to Duan Hengye's optical supercomputer.
Of course, Duan Hengye couldn't easily say what he was thinking at the moment. After seeing Yu Xinlan's message, he simply replied to her not to think too much and closed the chat interface. It was also at this time that Duan Hengye suddenly saw the Meng Jinhuai's mecha's movement speed increase. At the same time, the weapon system almost stopped working.
What's going on?
After seeing this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but sit up straight and click on the details of the mecha's operation. With just a glance, Duan Hengye could see that the mecha didn't show any signs of injury. It obviously didn't want to leave the battlefield because it was injured. As the designer of the "Southern Zhu" mecha, Duan Hengye knew exactly how fast the new mecha's movement speed was. It was extremely dangerous to move at such a speed. It could be said that it was a test of the mecha's pilot.
Duan Hengye believed that something must have happened to Meng Jinhuai. Otherwise, he wouldn't be moving at such a fast speed.
On a closer look, in addition to the movement speed, Meng Jinhuai's direction was also constantly changing. What the hell is going on? After seeing this, Duan Hengye finally moved his gaze to another screen. From here, using Duan Hengye's authority, he could see the distribution of all the participating mecha from the Army.
He clicked on the screen a few times and a picture filled with dots of light appeared in front of him. The green dots on the picture were the mecha that were operating normally, the red dots were the mecha that were injured, and as for the ones that had died … they were gray. He could see that almost all the mecha on the picture were glowing green. Only a few were glowing red. After looking around, Duan Hengye still couldn't find a single dead mecha.
Although the mecha's operation on the left screen was still strange, Duan Hengye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But … at this moment, he suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon. Most of the mecha on the picture were gathered at the bottom left corner. Only a lone dot of light was glowing on the right.
Duan Hengye had a bad feeling about this. He reached out his hand again and opened the data of the lone mecha. Then, the words "Nan Wei" appeared in front of Duan Hengye's eyes.
Could it be that Meng Jinhuai's mecha was surrounded? Meng Jinhuai was simply too strong. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. But before this, whenever Meng Jinhuai was surrounded, he would usually choose to stay where he was and take down the surrounding mecha one by one. After all, the difference in strength between him and his opponent was obvious.
But this time, it was obvious that he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Duan Hangye found that his shallow military experience was not enough to support him to figure out this matter at the first possible moment. He clicked on Yu Xinlan's profile picture again. After hesitating for a while, Duan Hengye gave up on asking her about Yu Xinlan.
But at this time, the military's system seemed to have detected that something was wrong with Meng Jinhuai's mecha. Duan Hengye's optical supercomputer suddenly flashed with a dark red light. In an instant, the room that was originally illuminated by the light was suddenly dyed red.
Although Duan Hengye wasn't sensitive to colors, when he saw the light turn on, the word "blood" immediately popped up in his mind. He turned on his optical supercomputer in annoyance. Then, he saw the contents of the prompt clearly written on the interface. "Mecha 'Nan Wei''s movement path is abnormal!"
It seemed that even the military's optical supercomputer couldn't analyze what was going on for the time being. They could only make a rough guess based on the movement path of Meng Jinhuai's mecha.
But Duan Hengye seemed to have forgotten one thing. Although General Dongfang and Meng Jinhuai had gone to war together, Yu Xinlan had also woken up from her coma. So … he wasn't the only one who could see this dark red prompt. Yu Xinlan could also see it.
This time, Yu Xinlan didn't send a message to Duan Hengye on her optical supercomputer. After a few minutes, Duan Hengye heard footsteps outside his cabin door. Then, his optical supercomputer received a prompt requesting to enter the cabin. It was from Yu Xinlan. Although Duan Hengye didn't want to trouble Yu Xinlan, when he remembered that her body hadn't recovered yet, he hurriedly accepted the request and asked Yu Xinlan to enter his room.
A few seconds later, Yu Xinlan and Duan Hengye's assistant, Ye Pu, appeared at his door together. Because she had just woken up, Yu Xinlan was still wearing her lab coat. She even needed Ye Pu's help to stand firm. Seeing her like this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but be shocked. But before he could ask Yu Xinlan to calm down, he heard her walk over and say, "Open the map!"
Map? Although Duan Hengye often logged onto the intranet, he had never seen it before.
