Due to the fog, Duan Hengye couldn't see the model of the mecha in front of him. However, he was certain that encountering an unfamiliar mecha under such circumstances was definitely not a good thing.
While controlling Nan Wei to retreat, Meng Jinhuai said to Duan Hengye, "There are many flammable gases of unknown composition in a supernova. The concentration of these gases will increase as the supernova continues." Although Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai's conversation couldn't be heard by the other side, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but lower his voice due to the atmosphere. The atmosphere became solemn in an instant.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye became more and more nervous. What Meng Jinhuai mentioned just now was something Duan Hengye didn't know about before. After the other party finished speaking, Duan Hengye shifted his gaze to the front again. Duan Hengye wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like the grey shadow was slowly moving towards him ….
Don't scare yourself …. Duan Hengye slowly retracted his gaze and looked at the status of the mecha's system on the optical supercomputer. It could be seen that after Duan Hengye's maintenance, Meng Jinhuai's control of Nan Wei was now more than 80%. After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye paused for a moment. He immediately exited the interface and turned to look at the mecha's defense system.
Duan Hengye saw that because the mecha's control system had mostly recovered, the defense system was now operating very well. However, after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye still didn't dare to be careless. While Meng Jinhuai slowly moved the mecha backwards, Duan Hengye continued to strengthen the defense system.
At this moment, Duan Hengye suddenly saw a strong light shining towards him. Although the mecha's windows were filtered by a special material and Duan Hengye was looking down at the optical supercomputer, Duan Hengye's heart still skipped a beat when the light shone on him.
It seemed that he wasn't mistaken. That grey shadow was indeed a mecha. Duan Hengye thought that the mecha that surrounded Meng Jinhuai just now was of a very low level compared to Nan Wei. Since it was able to control the light from Nan Wei and control it, it was most likely that it was brought to the asteroid not long after the explosion, it was hidden in a more obscure place.
In other words, the mecha's was quite lucky. Sometimes, "luck" had a lot to do with victory or defeat.
Although the asteroid in front of them wasn't large, hiding behind it was much better than facing the explosion head-on. The Nan Wei was still slowly moving backwards. It wasn't that Meng Jinhuai didn't want to speed up. It was just that the explosion didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon. On the contrary, it was gradually increasing in intensity. Although the mecha could be controlled, it couldn't resist the massive force generated by the explosion.
When it rains, it pours. Just as Duan Hengye realized this, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting beside him, spoke again. "There are three mecha on the other side."
Three … three mecha?
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but be stunned. The League of Lisheng's mecha were too lucky! It wasn't enough for one mecha to be sent here by the explosion, but now there were three? If Duan Hangye hadn't read the novel before, he wouldn't have been able to help but question Meng Jinhuai's words just now. After the book "Toppling the Stars", who exactly was the main cast member?
Duan Hengye looked down at the screen in front of Meng Jinhuai — there were indeed three dots of light.
Meng Jinhuai continued to explain. "Just now, in order to better surround Nan Wei, they connected the mecha together. Later on, although the mecha formation was scattered by the explosion of the star, it is not surprising that the three mecha were brought here together. "Meng Jinhuai was a marshal after all. His rich combat experience gave him a calmness that was beyond ordinary. Clearly, encountering three enemy mecha in the middle and late stages of the explosion was an extremely frightening thing, but Meng Jinhuai casually described such a dangerous situation.
The cockpit of the mecha fell silent again. Just as Duan Hengye didn't know what to say, Meng Jinhuai suddenly turned to him and asked, "A Heng, are you afraid?"
Afraid? This was a feeling everyone would have. But at this moment, Duan Hengye was nervous about the situation, and worried about Meng Jinhuai. But … he really didn't seem to be afraid at all. He didn't know where his fearlessness came from, but Duan Hengye was very sure that at this moment, he really had nothing to be afraid of.
"Okay." Meng Jinhuai suddenly looked at Duan Hengye and smiled. Then, he slowly turned to face the opposing mecha and said, "The explosion's power has increased again. The mecha's retreating speed is continuing to slow down. If we can't leave this place immediately, then … we might as well strike first to gain the initiative. "
Although hiding behind the asteroid allowed them to maintain their strength to a certain extent, they were still in the middle of the explosion. The opponent's mecha's control system must have been affected. They were trying to approach Nan Wei in order to close the distance between them and ensure that they could deal the greatest damage. Therefore, what Meng Jinhuai meant by "preemptive strike" was to launch an attack on the enemy before they could get close.
But this was also a very dangerous thing to do. After all, this was the core area of the explosion. Even if the attack was directed at the opponent, their current position was bound to be affected. But as Meng Jinhuai said, if they couldn't leave immediately, then the only thing they could do was to strike first.
After Meng Jinhuai finished speaking, Duan Hengye saw the windows in front of them slowly turn opaque. As the designer of Nan Wei, Duan Hengye knew that Meng Jinhuai had now activated the mecha's full defensive mode. In this mode, the windows that were originally made of high-strength materials were once again covered by an even thicker material — after all, this was directly facing the cockpit.
The scene in front of him was no longer purple. Seeing that his vision was blocked, Duan Hengye was somewhat unaccustomed to it. He turned his gaze towards Meng Jinhuai, only to see that because most of the mecha's systems had been restored, Meng Jinhuai could now use the mecha's positioning system to automatically track and attack targets without using the windows or the naked eye.
On the screen in front of Meng Jinhuai, three light blue dots appeared. Based on their positions and movement patterns, they were the three mecha that had been lucky enough to be brought to the back of the asteroid. After the images were loaded, Meng Jinhuai quickly located them on the optical supercomputer and prepared to attack.
But their enemy was far crazier than they had imagined. According to Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye's assumptions, the goal of the three mecha from the League of Lisheng should be to get close to Nan Wei's current position and launch a close-range attack on them. But the reality was … the mecha couldn't wait that long.
The explosion of the asteroid was getting stronger and stronger. Although the three mecha had been hiding behind the asteroid, they were gradually losing control of their mecha. Seeing that Meng Jinhuai was moving further and further away from their target, one of the mecha finally made a crazy move.
Although they were separated by a thick layer of mecha shell, Duan Hengye could still hear a loud explosion a few seconds later. The sound was muffled by the soundproofing material on the mecha's outer walls. But it was like a war drum, pounding heavily on Duan Hengye's heart.
This was not a weapon attack. After all, Duan Hengye had only heard a series of explosions. Nan Wei's vicinity was not out of the ordinary. Although the sound was muffled by the soundproofing material, the powerful mecha designer was still able to determine the cause of the explosion in an instant.
— — Just as Nan Wei's weapon system had locked onto its target, one of the opposing mecha couldn't help but activate its self-destruct mode.
They knew very well that with their mecha's current chaotic system, they would not be able to accurately attack Meng Jinhuai's location. Meanwhile, as a top-class mecha, Nanwei's strength was unfathomable and extremely mysterious. Although there was the help of the chain reaction from the supernova, they were still unsure how much damage this kind of attack could cause to mecha Nanwei.
If the weapon system wasn't strong enough, then … what about a mecha?
Duan Hangye knew how terrifying the self-destruction of a mecha was. In addition to the fact that all the weapons loaded on the mecha would attack at the same time with the mecha as the center, all the energy loaded on the mecha would also be converted into cannon fire in an instant and attack the surroundings.
Duan Hengye couldn't see what was happening outside because the windows were closed. But based on his experience, the energy generated by a mecha's self-destruct mode was enough to shave off a quarter of the nearby asteroid … not to mention that the asteroid was exploding right now.
How big of a chain reaction would a mecha's self-destruction cause in the explosion of the asteroid? Duan Hengye couldn't put his finger on it, but he felt an instinctive sense of fear.
These thoughts only took a split second. Then, Duan Hengye unbuckled his seat belt as fast as he could and lunged in Meng Jinhuai's direction.
Although he was injured, Duan Hengye's movements didn't slow down in the slightest. Duan Hengye's quick reflexes were on full display at this moment … before the world turned grey, Duan Hengye's last sight was of Meng Jinhuai's incredulous and shocked expression.
"… A Heng?"
His consciousness once again sank into darkness.
