Although they had weapons in their hands, the lethality of those weapons could not compare to the lethality of a mecha. After Duan Hengye entered the cockpit, the mecha was surrounded by dozens of men in black. All kinds of weapons were aimed at his position, but no one dared to move for a long time.
Everyone in the Galaxy knew that Duan Hengye did not have spiritual power, so when they saw him in the mecha, they were subconsciously willing to believe that Duan Hengye was only using the mecha as a temporary hiding place. In short … there was no way he could have successfully activated the mecha.
"Block the exits!" The leader of the men in black waved his hand behind him as he ordered. As soon as he gave the order, a dozen men immediately surrounded the exits at the bottom of the mecha.
In fact, there were several mecha pilots on this starship, but at this time, another unknown mecha was about to reach their position. Because of technical reasons, they could not determine who was in the mecha for the time being.
But now, the starship had entered level one alert mode, and everyone who could pilot the mecha had been sent out — no one had expected Duan Hengye to be hiding a mecha activation badge on his person.
Unfortunately, Duan Hengye was destined to disappoint these people.
There was no doubt that Duan Hengye was very talented in the field of mecha piloting. Right now, he was in an intermediate mecha, and with Duan Hengye's spiritual power, he could easily control the mecha above his level. With his extremely high spiritual power and Meng Jinhuai as his special teacher, after a period of practice, Duan Hengye's skill level had already surpassed most of the mecha pilots in the Galaxy.
In addition to his talent, Duan Hengye was also an exceptionally hardworking person. Recently, whenever he had free time, Duan Hengye would go to the Research Institute to practice. So now, it was no exaggeration to say that Duan Hengye had already developed muscle memory for some of the basic mecha skills.
Sitting in the cockpit, Duan Hengye pursed his lips tightly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that he was surrounded by a group of people, but he was not the least bit nervous. Duan Hengye's eyes kept darting between the screens, and his hands did not stop moving for a moment. After a few flashes of dark blue light, an announcement came from the mecha. "Identity verified."
The corner of Duan Hangye's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. He stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the mecha's control panel. His movements were abnormally gentle, as if what he was holding wasn't some terrifying weapon from the Interstellar Era, but a soft little lamb.
In an instant, the mecha's edge. This light illuminated the entire hall, and the mecha hidden within it also seemed to have a hint of divinity in it.
But to the people surrounding Duan Hangye, this kind of light was like a will-o '-the-wisp coming from a crack in hell.
Their worst fears had come true. Duan Hengye really did have spiritual power! Judging from the speed at which he activated the mecha, Duan Hengye's spiritual power was probably not low, and he was very skilled in operating the mecha.
Although they knew that their laser weapons would not be able to harm the huge mecha in front of them, when the blue light flashed, they did not hesitate. Without any orders, everyone pulled the trigger instinctively.
Countless silver beams shot towards Duan Hengye's mecha, but it was no different from mayflies trying to shake a tree.
The mecha's side arm slowly raised, and then it began to move forward. In truth, Duan Hengye could have just killed the people in front of him, but he still had some reservations about doing so. Duan Hengye's rationality told him that he should keep these people alive. They would become important clues in the future.
Duan Hengye continued to move forward in his mecha, and the group of people in black followed suit. Finally, someone's back was pressed up against the cold wall of the starship.
Duan Hengye also stopped, and the huge mecha began to silently face the people in front of it.
They could see that Duan Hengye had no intention of killing them, so after a while, someone finally took the lead and threw his weapon to the ground. Then, in the next few minutes, the people in black followed the first person's example, and one by one, they placed their laser guns on the ground.
After seeing this, Duan Hengye, who was sitting in the cockpit, finally spoke. "Now open the cockpit door, and bring everyone into the hall." Duan Hengye's voice was cold to begin with, but now that it was transmitted through the mecha, when it reached the ears of the people in black, it was as cold as a machine's voice.
Duan Hengye's tone was clearly not threatening, but in these people's ears, it was more lethal than anything. In fact, before Duan Hengye could say it a second time, the people in black who were trapped by the wall and didn't dare to move immediately dispersed, and then opened the door as fast as they could.
Because the cabin door had been violently destroyed by him, the people in Duan Hangye's cabin had roughly figured out what had happened in the hall by listening and guessing. As for the remaining captives … until they were released, they were still in a daze. Some people even thought that they were about to be "dealt with", and when they walked, their legs were weak.
In less than a minute, everyone was gathered in the hall. When they looked up and saw the white mecha, finally, some of the people with low mental strength couldn't help but fall to the ground with a "plop". Obviously, they mistakenly thought that this mecha belonged to a "galactic pirate".
At this moment, Duan Hengxing, who had been standing in the crowd without speaking, suddenly raised his head, then took a few steps forward and asked Duan Hengye's mecha, "What do we do now?"
Everyone in the cabin already knew that Duan Hengye had spiritual power and was piloting a mecha. However, it seemed that Duan Hangxing was the only one who quickly digested this fact and accepted it very well.
Empress and Wen Mujia, who were also the first to know, already had a look on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
As a playboy, Duan Hengxing's reputation in the gossip circle was very high, but in the real upper class of the Empire, he didn't have much of a sense of existence. So when they heard him suddenly speak, many people around couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at him.
Then, something beyond their imagination happened. Duan Hengye's voice actually came from the mecha.
"En, check if the weapons have been thrown away, then lock the people in the back cabin."
Wait a minute … Everyone who heard this voice had their brains short-circuited. Who can explain to them what the hell is going on? How did Duan Hengye get into the mecha, who else is there other than him?
Most of the people were so shocked by this sentence that they stood motionless on the spot. At this time, Duan Hengxing had already begun to check if the people in the black mecha had handed over their weapons like Duan Hengye said.
After all, this is a moment of life and death. Even though the shock in their hearts didn't end, after seeing Duan Hengxing's actions, the rest of the people standing in the hall began to follow him and checked the weapons on the people in black mecha, then sent them to the back cabin.
In just a few short minutes, Duan Hengye had successfully logged into the starship's system through the mecha's internal photon processor. So when all the 'space pirates' were sent into the cabin, everyone saw a transparent partition slowly fall down in the middle of the hall, separating them from the mecha.
… What is Duan Hengye trying to do?
These people still haven't recovered from the shock of Duan Hengye being able to activate the mecha, but they saw the mecha suddenly turn around. Then, the front cabin door opened, and the mecha flew out without looking back. After the mecha left, the cabin door closed again. Through the windows, the people in the hall were still reluctantly watching the shrinking silhouette of the white mecha.
At this time, there were dozens of people standing in the starship's hall. Although they had just walked out from the shadow of death, none of them had a relaxed expression on their faces. After a long silence, someone finally tentatively asked Duan Hengye, the only person who spoke to Duan Hengxing just now.
"Professor Duan, this is … Uh, is he piloting the mecha?" The person who spoke was a noble from the Empire. He was quite familiar with Duan Hengxing. It's just that before today, he had never spoken to Duan Hengxing in such a polite tone. Obviously, the conversation between him and Duan Hangye just now had also made his former "scoundrel friends" look at him in a new light.
But then again, for some time now, this person had already felt that Duan Hengxing was a lot more mature than before.
After the white mecha flew out of the starship, Duan Hengxing's eyes never left the window. When he finally couldn't see the starship from his angle, Duan Hengxing finally withdrew his gaze. After hearing the person's question, he slowly nodded and said, "That's right, he's piloting the mecha."
After hearing Duan Hengxing's answer, the man who asked him earlier couldn't help but open his mouth wide. He then quietly asked the person next to him, "Why do I remember that Duan Hengye doesn't have consciousness … Did I remember wrongly?"
"I remember that too …" The person next to him turned around and said with a bitter face.
Even though these two people didn't speak loudly, the cabin was a bit too quiet at this time. Their words were clearly heard by everyone. Then, the hall fell into an even more terrifying silence.
These people couldn't help but feel a sense of fear towards Duan Hengye. This feeling wasn't the same as when their lives were threatened. It was an instinctive fear towards a powerful and mysterious person of the same race. Thinking about it carefully, in the past year, Duan Hengye had given the entire Galaxy a lot of surprises.
Perhaps it was because they were already used to the title of "genius", everyone seemed to be very receptive to those surprises, and the speed of it was also very fast. But when they calmed down and thought about it carefully, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spine … Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, not just the Yetian Empire, but the entire Galaxy's structure would be reshuffled because of these two people.
The danger hadn't passed yet, but this group of upper echelons of the Empire had already begun to silently calculate in their hearts.
After flying out of the starship, Duan Hengye immediately saw the familiar Meng Jinhuai's mecha in front of him. Right now, it was surrounded by 20 mechas, but its posture was still calm.
Even though it was only the mecha and not Meng Jinhuai himself. But just by looking at the familiar mecha, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel an indescribable bitterness in his heart. Nan zhuxing was slightly closer to this unmanned area, but Meng Jinhuai definitely put in a lot of effort to get here so quickly.
After all, the situation was urgent now, so this feeling didn't last long. After getting closer, Duan Hengye quickly discovered that Meng Jinhuai wasn't trying to shoot down the opposing mechas, but was trying to capture them. In fact, it was easy to imagine that with Meng Jinhuai's strength, if he wanted to directly shoot down a mecha, it would be ridiculously easy. The reason why he did this was probably because he had already sensed the abnormality of these "space pirates" long ago.
If dealing with Meng Jinhuai alone was already troublesome enough, now that Duan Hengye had suddenly appeared, the mechas in front of them were in a predicament of being "attacked from both sides" for a short period of time – they were clearly the ones with the advantage in numbers.
At this moment, Duan Hengye's mecha suddenly received a signal from Meng Jinhuai. Because they had already established a communication link before, Duan Hengye didn't even need to click on the confirmation button. After the notification tone sounded, Meng Jinhuai's voice came through.
"A Heng, pay attention to the right side of the mecha." Meng Jinhuai's voice was still as gentle as ever. Even though they were currently in the vast interstellar space and there was a row of mechas flying across from them, he didn't panic. This voice brought Duan Hengye back to the state he was in when he was learning how to pilot a mecha from Meng Jinhuai. The excitement of personally participating in a battle for the first time disappeared quite a bit, and his whole person became more focused.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but nod and say, "Okay."
Although Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai had never fought side by side in a mecha before, as mecha pilots who had been personally taught by Meng Jinhuai, the tacit understanding between the two of them was far beyond that of an average person.
As soon as Meng Jinhuai's voice fell, Duan Hengye quickly adjusted the direction of his mecha, then launched an attack towards the right side, successfully trapping a mecha that was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape. There were still people on the starship now. Although many of them were aristocrats who had gradually lost their power, if an accident were to happen to these people, it would still cause a huge uproar in the Empire.
In particular, the Empire's Empress was among them. After experiencing what happened in the starship's cabin just now, Duan Hengye had reason to believe that not only himself, but Empress was also the target of this operation.
Therefore, after cutting off the mecha's escape route, Duan Hengye moved his mecha without Meng Jinhuai's warning. Now, as long as someone wanted to return to the starship, they would have to pass by Duan Hengye's position.
At this moment, Duan Hengye suddenly heard a soft chuckle in his ear. It was Meng Jinhuai. The situation outside was clearly still chaotic, but this person was still calm and unhurried. Meng Jinhuai's performance was too relaxed. It was as if he was not facing a real battlefield, but a virtual screen in a simulator.
After that, Meng Jinhuai's voice continuously rang in Duan Hengye's ears. He began to teach Duan Hengye battle strategies, as well as the best frequency to use various types of weapons. At this moment, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai's mecha were facing each other, so the situation they were facing was different. Obviously, in addition to constantly paying attention to the mecha in front of him, Meng Jinhuai was also paying attention to the situation on Duan Hengye's side.
As expected of the famous Empire's God of War. Perhaps Duan Hengye did not have a direct understanding of this title before. But now, after this "on-the-spot teaching" by Meng Jinhuai, he finally understood the hidden strength behind this title.
Duan Hengye saw that at this moment, the mecha belonging to the "galactic pirates" in front of him were already showing signs of wanting to escape. But at this moment, Meng Jinhuai's movements slowed down. Meng Jinhuai even began to pause his attacks and began to analyze and guide Duan Hengye.
From Duan Hengye's point of view, this scene was really like a cat and a mouse that had reached the end of its road. Meng Jinhuai did not seem to have any intention of eating them. Instead, he was just toying with them. Duan Hengye knew very well that this kind of scene would only occur when the opponent's strength was completely suppressed.
But … as a student of mecha piloting, Duan Hengye really needed this kind of training opportunity. In the following time, Duan Hengye began to focus on studying mecha piloting according to Meng Jinhuai's instructions. His progress was rapid. It did not take long for him to be able to attack before Meng Jinhuai's judgment.
Although Meng Jinhuai was observing from the opposite direction, there was bound to be a certain amount of time delay, but one must remember that his opponent was the Empire's Marshal! To be able to attack before Meng Jinhuai's judgment was already a very, very impressive feat for a mecha pilot.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the "still" Meng Jinhuai finally began to move again. Duan Hengye saw that in a short span of ten seconds, this "big cat" who was already tired of playing with the mecha finally gave up on his childish teasing of the mecha in front of him.
After a few flashes of light, Duan Hengye saw Meng Jinhuai accurately cut out the energy storage of the mecha in front of him like a surgeon operating a scalpel. After losing the energy storage, the mecha lost all of its supplies and the cockpit immediately dimmed. Then, as if dead, the mecha in front of him were suspended in space, motionless.
As a mecha designer, Meng Jinhuai's actions just now taught Duan Hengye a lesson. Before Meng Jinhuai did that in front of Duan Hengye, Duan Hengye could not have imagined that there could be such a precise and direct attack.
Although he knew in his heart that Meng Jinhuai was probably the only person in the entire Galaxy who could pull it off. But after seeing this, Duan Hengye secretly made up his mind. In the next generation of mecha designs, I will definitely hide the energy storage again …
Just as Duan Hengye was thinking about this, the escape pods in the mecha in front of him finally popped out. Seeing this, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai each piloted their respective mecha and began to capture the escape pods. Duan Hengye had practiced this maneuver many times on Nan zhuxing, so he was exceptionally familiar with it.
In just a few short minutes, the escape pods were all collected by Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai's mecha. At this moment, Duan Hengye realized that the first real mecha battle he had participated in had ended in a one-sided crushing.
After seeing the notification on the optical supercomputer, even Duan Hengye could not react for a long time.
Finally, Meng Jinhuai's voice once again rang in Duan Hengye's ear, pulling him back to reality. "Stop daydreaming, let's go back." Meng Jinhuai's words carried a hint of a smile. Although the two of them only had a voice communication and could not see each other's expressions, after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye could clearly see the other person's face when he spoke now.
"Okay." Duan Hengye nodded, then slowly piloted his mecha towards the starship not far away.
At the beginning, there was still some distance between the starship and the mecha. But at the same time, the distance between the two sides also became shorter and shorter. Later on, those in the starship hall witnessed the perfect cooperation between Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai with their own eyes, and how they easily trapped those mecha in the palm of their hands.
Of course, the moment they saw Meng Jinhuai's mecha, they were still shocked. But soon, everyone's attention was focused on Duan Hengye's piloting skills, which did not lose out to the galactic pirates at all. Now that the two mecha had flown back and began to put the escape pods into the hall, the onlookers' emotions still hadn't recovered from the "battle" just now.
A few minutes later, all the escape pods were put into the starship. Then, the bottom hatch of the two mecha was connected to the starship, and Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai walked out of it one by one. After the two of them came in, the starship's hatch closed, and the mecha began to fly with them.
Although Duan Hengye had heard the voice communication not long ago, now that he saw Meng Jinhuai with his own eyes, the strange feeling in his heart rose again. It was also at this time that he realized that he had an unusual dependence on Meng Jinhuai.
When he left Nan zhuxing, Meng Jinhuai was still working, so he was naturally wearing a military uniform. Meng Jinhuai, dressed in black, slowly walked over to Duan Hengye. Compared to Duan Hengye who was wearing ordinary leather shoes, he was half a head taller in military boots.
The distance between the two was constantly shortening, and finally, Duan Hengye couldn't help but sniff, then softly called Meng Jinhuai's name. Then, Duan Hengye was embraced by the other party. He felt Meng Jinhuai's palm tightly pressed against his head, and it was trembling slightly. Because of the height difference, Duan Hengye's face could not help but bury in the other party's neck.
"… I was so worried about you," Meng Jinhuai finally hugged Duan Hengye tightly and said.
