After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye followed his gaze and noticed the dark red blood stain on his chest. After seeing it, Duan Hengye was shocked by the red blood. Recently, for the sake of convenience at work, Duan Hangye had been wearing white work clothes. The blood stain was particularly obvious against the white color.
After seeing the blood stain, Duan Hengye couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch his neck. Then, he saw the blood stain on his palm. As expected, this blood stain should have flowed down from his mouth along with the intense pain from the impact. Because the pain was so intense, Duan Hengye actually ignored the warm blood flowing down his skin.
After seeing the blood stain, Duan Hengye was slightly stunned, but overall, he was still calm. After all, the pain just now was too intense. It was obvious that his internal organs were injured. However, just because Duan Hengye was calm, it didn't mean that Meng Jinhuai was as calm. Seeing Duan Hengye calmly wipe the blood from his neck, Meng Jinhuai was even more shocked than Duan Hengye imagined.
Even though Meng Jinhuai was used to life and death situations, he still panicked when he saw this scene. He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the blood stain on Duan Hengye's skin. Then, he asked in a trembling voice, "What happened?"
Duan Hangye had never expected that Meng Jinhuai would actually have the time to ask these questions after seeing him in such a tense life and death situation. He held onto the wall of the mech and walked toward the cockpit. At the same time, he briefly explained what happened to Meng Jinhuai.
While Duan Hengye was walking forward, Meng Jinhuai quickly caught up to him and supported him from the side. Duan Hengye didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Meng Jinhuai's movements were a little cautious. Meng Jinhuai didn't even know where to put strength in his arms. Duan Hengye had never seen Meng Jinhuai so cautious and helpless. "It's okay. Actually, I don't feel much now. I just feel a little tired," Duan Hengye said to Meng Jinhuai.
Unexpectedly, after saying this, Meng Jinhuai's mood didn't improve at all. Instead, he muttered a muffled "Mm" and finally dared to support Duan Hengye with his arms.
Duan Hengye's landing mech wasn't far from the Nan Wei's cockpit. It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the cockpit. The loss of control of the Nan Wei was quite serious. The shaking inside the Nan Wei was almost comparable to that of Duan Hengye's mech after it was hit. One must know that Nan Wei's size was huge, and all the components used were the best in the galaxy. For it to experience such a huge jolt, the situation was not optimistic.
Both of them knew that now wasn't the time to chat and worry about Duan Hengye's injuries. After reaching the cockpit, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai sat in the pilot and co-pilot seats respectively. Compared to Meng Jinhuai, Duan Hengye's movements were slightly slower. After Meng Jinhuai sat down, he saw that Duan Hengye was tightly restrained by the mech's seatbelt. He couldn't help but suck in a cold breath when he felt the force. He looked like he was in pain.
Meng Jinhuai gritted his teeth and silently turned around.
Just like what Meng Jinhuai saw just now, the mech's seatbelt could tightly restrain the pilot to the seat and ensure the safety of the pilot. However, in the case of an injured pilot, being "restrained" like this was definitely not a good thing. Duan Hengye took a deep breath and slowly adjusted his breathing. Then, he began a series of identity verification procedures.
"Can the Nan Wei still be controlled?" After the identity verification was completed, Duan Hengye quickly entered the commands on the control panel in front of him while asking Meng Jinhuai.
At this time, the mech was still at the core of the exploding star, and the storm showed no signs of weakening. "About 20% command completion." Meng Jinhuai replied.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye nodded silently. 20% command completion … This was similar to Duan Hengye's previous guess. In the past few minutes, the mech continued to be pushed uncontrollably towards the core of the exploding star. After sitting back in the pilot's seat, Meng Jinhuai began to concentrate again and tried to control the mech.
As the designer of the "Nan Wei" mech, Duan Hengye clearly knew what kind of mental power was needed to pilot this huge mech. After seeing Meng Jinhuai's difficult expression, Duan Hengye didn't bother him anymore and focused on the screen in front of him.
Compared to the mech that Duan Hengye piloted earlier, the Nan Wei took a longer time to enter the battle and didn't have time to sort out the program in the middle. After Duan Hengye successfully entered the mech's internal control system, he saw a mess of symbols that couldn't be any more messy. Unlike the chaotic and orderly appearance of the mech before, the contents of the mech's system interface now looked like characters that had been stepped on by a cat.
After seeing the screen full of garbled symbols, Duan Hengye couldn't help but pause for a moment. For a moment, he didn't know where to start.
But obviously, now was not a good time to hesitate. After looking at it for a while, Duan Hangye finally found a program clause that he was familiar with in a pile of random codes. Then, he quickly cut in and used it as a reference, relying on his memory and knowledge to quickly modify the surrounding content.
Although the main problem with the mech was the control system, the amount of work needed to fix it was definitely not small. After focusing on the control panel for a while, Duan Hengye even felt his fingers twitching. Because of his concentration, Duan Hengye couldn't feel the pain in his chest. But at this time, he started coughing uncontrollably again. Duan Hengye continued to tap on the control panel with one hand while the other pressed against his lips, trying to suppress the coughing.
Meng Jinhuai, who was piloting the mech, couldn't help but show a complicated expression. Although the world outside the mech was chaotic, the inside of the mech was still as quiet as ever. For a moment, only the sound of Duan Hengye's coughing echoed in the mech's ears.
At first, Duan Hengye wanted to hold it in, but later on, the coughing was completely uncontrollable. In the end, he even felt that there was a bloody taste in his throat. Duan Hengye could tell that the injuries he suffered this time were not light.
Although the workload was heavy, and the maintenance results were eroding every minute and every second, Duan Hengye did not slow down at all after he got the hang of it. After a while, Meng Jinhuai's control of the mech rose from 20% to 60%. The mech was now at the core of the star explosion, and it was difficult to fly out with the mech's own energy. But after the system's control of the mech gradually recovered, Meng Jinhuai could operate the mech more easily and leave the most dangerous areas.
Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai cooperated very well. Although the two of them had barely spoken since they sat in the pilot's seat, there was no miscommunication at all. The shaking of the mech gradually slowed down, and Meng Jinhuai found a small planet to use as cover in the thick purple fog. Then, he slowly approached it.
It wasn't that Meng Jinhuai didn't want to increase his speed, but his mecha was currently in the core region of the exploding star. Being able to avoid being dragged along by the force of the exploding star was already a very difficult task, let alone breaking free from it and heading towards his destination.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Duan Hengye finally saw that the purple fog outside the window had thinned slightly. Then, he heard Meng Jinhuai say in his ear, "We're at the back of the small planet." Because the situation just now was too critical, Duan Hengye's first priority was to maintain the mech's movement control system. He did not have time to care about the positioning of the mech. So, from their position just now to the back of the small planet, they had almost completely relied on Meng Jinhuai's visual judgment.
Perhaps only Duan Hengye, who was in the middle of it all, could understand the difficulty of this task — the purple fog severely obstructed their vision, and if they were not careful, they would lose sight of it. And then, calculating the appropriate angle and force to break free from the pull of the star explosion and head to a specific location was an even more difficult task. After all, it was usually done by an A.I.
Now that the Nan Wei was no longer shaking, Duan Hengye could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, Duan Hengye could see from the corner of his eye that Meng Jinhuai's expression was still tense …
Meng Jinhuai stared ahead, his gaze cold. Duan Hengye felt that at this moment, Meng Jinhuai looked even more serious than when he had piloted the mech to the back of the small planet. His entire being had entered a state of battle readiness.
"What's wrong?" Duan Hengye could not help but ask.
After a while, Meng Jinhuai finally opened his mouth and said slowly, "There's someone there."
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye slowly turned his gaze to the back of the window. The purple fog behind the small planet had faded a little. Perhaps Meng Jinhuai's words had given him a psychological hint. After looking forward again, Duan Hengye indeed saw a faint grey shadow not far in front of them.
This … looks like a mech?
If it was any other time, Duan Hengye would definitely not have any special reaction to seeing a mech. But now, the situation was different. Seeing it in the middle of the purple fog, Duan Hengye's emotions were no less than seeing a ghost. The Nan Wei's cockpit fell silent again. Meng Jinhuai slowly piloted the mech and began to retreat.
