Chapter 182: Hope of Escape

The big demon said impatiently: "These bugs are endless, and there are too many cowardly bug soldiers.

Fortunately, all the mecha technicians here are elites, so they managed to hold on, but it’s still a little bit short of points.

The points were increasing. It took about three hours to barely clear 90% of the insect people in the passage.

The rest are no threat to them.

Not only the big demon was impatient, the audience was also tired of watching. Don't these people get tired after driving the mecha for half a day straight?

Those who can be military mecha masters are all physical monsters, possessing patience and physique beyond ordinary people.

Strike while the iron is hot, the support ship commander ordered them to continue advancing.

He asks the contestants if they are going underground.

If they go underground, they must be aware of the difficulties they will face, the lack of timely support, and the inability to withdraw midway, as the mission must be completed.

The underground situation is complicated, but it is not suitable for all mechas to pass through.

It's easy to cause congestion, just like those insect people just now.

They can think while replenishing their mecha's energy, and the thinking time is only five minutes.

Ji Heng was the first to join, and there was no way he would give up. Given his special abilities, it was impossible for him to withdraw.

It won’t take five minutes.

Twenty contestants expressed their willingness to enter.

Only once they enter will there be enough insect people for them to kill.

A large number of points will be awarded after completing the task, which is also the key point to catch up with points.

Their points were very close, and Ji Heng felt like he was the only one standing out, but he was only about 300 points more than the last one, and Da Yao's score was also slightly behind him.

The reason why the elites are elites is that they are definitely brave enough.

The commander told them: "If you encounter a tunnel dug by the insect people on the way, mark it and do not easily enter it for exploration."

In the tunnels dug by the insect people, it is easy to encounter love around the corner and encounter the "kiss of love" from the insect mother.

He hoped that the players would not hold their teammates back. Of course, his soldiers might not be as good as these talented young people.

Ji Heng was resting with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, his beautiful eyes were full of restrained ambition. "Are there any strict requirements for forming a team?"

"The contestants can only be paired up with two people at most."

As soon as he finished speaking, Da Yao, My Pants Are Red, Feng Huai and people from several other schools extended olive branches to Ji Heng and invited him to form a team.

“Vegetable farmers may not be the best, but they definitely have the highest survival rate. This statement has been proven at this moment.”

"They know everything from astronomy to geography, mathematics, chemistry, mechanics, wilderness survival, space survival... I found that vegetable farmers have learned so much. How do they cram all that knowledge into their brains?"

"I know this question. Ask Coach Su. Vegetable farmers have special training techniques."

"Coach Su is busy now. Something happened to Blue Star."

"What? What happened to Bluestar?"

"I don't know the details. There was no live broadcast. Mr. Niu went to Blue Star and is now on the run."

"What should we do? The mechanical planet has not been conquered yet, and something happened on the blue planet. Even if Lieutenant General Bai creates several clones, it won't be enough."

"Mr. Niu didn't know the person he was talking to, so he probably wanted to come up with something to attract people's attention."

"Mr. Niu is not that kind of person. He has a proper job. He is a coach who specializes in one-on-one wilderness survival training. He does business with rich people. Why would he want to tarnish his reputation?"

"There is no information about Blue Star on the Internet. It's so frustrating."

"I don't know who Ji Heng will choose."

Let's get back to the topic. There were only three hundred mechas that entered the underground, and they were carrying out tasks on different floors.

Ji Heng accepted the invitation from the big demon. Since Su Xiaocai was willing to show friendship to the big demon, it meant that the big demon could trust her for the time being.

More importantly, there is little conflict of interest between the two parties.

One is destined to join the organization, and the other is destined to join a mercenary group, and their development directions are different.

There was red in my pants complaining, "Why didn't you choose me? I'm also very good."

"I'm afraid you'll go crazy suddenly." The big demon winked at him and told him honestly, "Besides, I'm more powerful than you."

It cannot be refuted that in terms of combat experience, the big monster is superior.

The two formed a team with six other lightweight mechas of the military and received a text message about this mission.

Ji Heng's team's mission was not difficult. They just had to enter the underground floor and bring out two customized five-star mechas.

Although the two mechas are not finished products and cannot compare to Su Xiaocai's Super Star Mecha, they are also the culmination of the professors' work.

It was originally placed in the "insect nest" and at most it would be damaged but would not leak.

The bad thing is that there are very few humans who cooperate with the insect people. The enemy is in the dark, and they are in the light.

It is not known whether the cooperating humans are foreign forces or spy organizations, but in any case, we must be on guard. It is better to bring the mecha out and hold it in our hands than to let it fall into the hands of humans with ulterior motives.

Ji Heng's team of eight has completed charging.

Prepare to go down to the basement level.

They opened the map and looked at the diving route. There were a total of five passages leading underground.

Two of them are escape routes, which are used for people to escape in case of fire. The other one is a ventilation duct, and people need to walk with their backs bent.

The three routes were directly passed.

One of them was the ejection channel, which had collapsed and was being cleared, and was quite far from their destination.

There is one last way. Walk to the end of the corridor, enter the stairwell, and jump directly to the basement level.

Mechas can also go down there.

If you can drive a mecha, of course you can drive a mecha.

The eight people set off at full speed. If they only rested for a short while, there was a possibility that their points would be surpassed. They could not bear to see their advantage disappear.

The door of the stairwell had been pried open, and it was obvious that the previous person had tried very hard to escape. The elevator inside was platform-type and not enclosed, which was conducive to transporting large items underground.

The elevator had been destroyed and broken into pieces, with half of the platform missing, as if something had directly pushed it off and shattered it.

Looking down, the stairwell is very deep. To reach the underground first floor, one has to descend fifty meters. The underground second floor is even deeper. In the entire mechanical planet, all usable places are used, except for the one that does not pierce the center of the earth.

Inside the stairwell, the fluorescent lights were dim, and the bleak green color made the surroundings seem eerie and gloomy.

A bug man suddenly approached, Ji Heng stepped on it and tore it into pieces with his two swords.

The insect people screamed, and the screams echoed in the underground where there was still air, which was very creepy.

The big demon put his hands together and said, "Ji Ge is so handsome that people can't close their legs."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I prefer people to use the word 'awesome' when praising me. 'Amazingly handsome' is also fine." Ji Heng did not react as strongly as Wu Feiyang, but he is also a straight man. It is difficult for him to agree with Da Yao's aesthetic taste, and he is not happy to listen to jokes.

Everyone: "..." You're more sexy this way, okay?

Big Demon: I love it even more!

"Let's go!" After saying that, Ji Heng was the first to go down the well, to finish the task earlier and solve the problem earlier.

While Ji Heng was down the well, changes also occurred on Wu Qingqing's side.

The three people trapped in the ice layer escaped for the time being, and the other two sincerely thanked Wu Qingqing for not forgetting to help them, "Thank you, sister."

Wu Qingqing said: "Try not to move, the ice is not thick."

Mecha Master A: "Got it."

Mecha Master B: "What should we do next? Wait for someone to rescue us?"

"It's best not to pin your hopes on others. We don't know what this layer of material outside is. What if..."

Mecha Master A was afraid of the crow's mouth: "Don't worry."

"We have to discuss a plan. We have three people, all of us are smart, and we can definitely save ourselves." Wu Qingqing said.

Well... not necessarily.

"How do we save ourselves? We can't even move now." We don't know how to deal with that layer of things outside.

"Think about it." Wu Qingqing said, "Think about it. If you can't get out, your wife will become someone else's wife, and your child will call someone else dad. Can you accept it?"

There was silence.

Wu Qingqing apologized: "Well, you may not even have a girlfriend."

No matter how hard it is, don’t tear it apart!

Mecha Master B: "Do you have any ideas? I've watched your competition. You vegetable farmers are very cunning and will definitely not sit still and wait for death."

Wu Qingqing: "Scheming is not the word to describe a good person like me. Be careful to use the right words. We are in the same boat now. If it capsizes, I will capsize with it. Don't make it sound like I have a plan not to take you with me. My brain is not as useful as Miaomiao's, and I don't have as wide a range of knowledge as Sasha. Just now, my brain was working at its fastest."

The three mechas were squeezed together. If you didn't look at the numbers on the screen, you wouldn't be able to feel the passage of time or the shift in space. Wu Qingqing wanted to move a little to see how magical the material outside was.

Suppressing the impulse, she rubbed her temples, hoping to come up with a good idea.

After thinking for a long time, maybe several minutes, she couldn't find a good solution. Should she really wait for rescue? Wu Qingqing didn't want the entire competition to go by in such a humiliating way.

Is it just a regretful ending?
"What should we do?" Three cobblers couldn't defeat one Zhuge Liang, so in the end, only Zhuge Liang had to take the stage.

Xiao Wu spoke. It could capture weak signals to measure the dimensions of the universe to prevent getting lost in deep space. "You are approaching the mutated acid-spitting worms. Please be aware that the acid-spitting worms are absorbing the matter surrounding you."

Wu Qingqing asked: "How long will it take for it to devour us?"

"Twenty seconds."

Wu Qingqing: “…” Very good, giving her time to think is the same as giving her no time at all.

do not care.

Time was running out, so Wu Qingqing hurriedly said to her two "shipmates": "I'll count to three, two, one. Use the most powerful weapon to my right."

The two mecha divisions didn't understand, but the military emphasizes obedience, and they are used to following orders. Wu Qingqing spoke quickly, maybe the situation has changed.

When faced with a dilemma, some people are willing to break it, and they are too lazy to listen to explanations and just execute directly.

"We have to take a risk. Three, two, one." As soon as the words came out, a gap appeared in the material surrounding them.

Long silver fangs were facing them, and the open mouth could swallow them easily.

"Ciao, caocaocao..." Speaking of the traditional Chinese quintessence, only this sentence can represent their mood, and it can also be regarded as a dying prayer.

In life-and-death battles, the higher the national essence content, the faster the reaction.

The ice shattered, and the three men used their weapons at the same time. One threw compressed high-explosive bombs all at once, and another fired five magnetic storm balls in a row. Wu Qingqing was afraid of being stuck to the substance behind her, so she carried the two of them and rushed forward.

Two mecha masters: voluntarily throwing themselves into the tiger's mouth?
I didn't understand what was going on, but those high-explosive bombs and magnetic balls caused a chain reaction.

Exploded after encountering.

Xiaowu activated a transparent defense shield to resist energy impact.

Even with the defensive shield, the mecha still couldn't stop tumbling, and Wu Qingqing held on tightly.

Since the explosion generates heat, it is difficult for heat to be transferred in space, so the acid-spitting worms can only bear it. They are blown up and tumble, constantly trying to spit out what has entered their mouths.

But the thing has exploded, and it has to bear the heat inside its body all the time and try to dissipate it.

Wu Qingqing took the opportunity to pull the two mecha masters away in the opposite direction. She caught a glimpse of the acid-spitting worm's body still connected to the signal tower, and it was unwilling to let go even if it died.

The acid-spitting worms behind me are writhing, it's a good time.

Wu Qingqing asked the two mecha masters to leave, "You go first." The mecha arm pushed forward, "You go."

She quickly turned back, fearing that the situation might change. She quickly pulled out the magnetic blade sword from behind, turned on the energy storage, and waited for the indicator light on the magnetic blade sword to be fully charged.

After counting silently for ten seconds, Wu Qingqing rushed towards the part of the insect man connected to the signal tower like a rocket.

This powerful knife, like tearing open space, a weapon that can penetrate dozens of centimeters of steel plates, couldn't possibly not be able to cut through anything. Even if it couldn't cut through anything, it didn't matter because the signal tower was also down.

With one stroke of the knife, he cut off the tip of the signal tower, and at the same time, he also cut off the connection part of the mutated acid-spitting worm.

Wu Qingqing grabbed the part of the insect tissue that was about to slip off, pulled it out, and cut it into dozens of pieces with the Insect Killer to prevent it from parasitizing.

After processing this part of the tissue, Wu Qingqing looked back at the tower. This look made her almost vomit.

It was full of people, lots and lots of people, but many of them were dead, and had died horribly, as if they had been melted in acid.

She wanted to retreat, but soon she discovered that there were still people alive.

There were children and people in military uniforms. They climbed out of a tattered mecha safety cabin, wearing outdated space suits.

Why are they here?
It's a miracle that he was able to survive for so long without being discovered.

The few people alive in the tower cried out, the top of the tower was broken, and the hope of life finally came.

Many of them died, but only here could they survive temporarily.

Their signals were blocked, so they could only rely on those few supplies to survive.

I originally thought that no one would be able to find them before they died.

Wu Qingqing accidentally broke free from the prison shackles.

Xiao Wu: "There are signs of human life response detected in the tower. Should we rescue them?"

Wu Qingqing looked at the insect people swarming around her. The acid-spitting insect was almost recovering. It might have absorbed energy and mutated, becoming even bigger.

She didn't know what to do.

We can only ask for help from the support ship.

"You found humans in the signal tower?" The officer was incredulous.

"I'll send someone in. Can you hold on?"

"Sir, stop joking. I'm alone. How can I hold on? I can't even provide rescue." Wu Qingqing suddenly looked at the uniformed men below, thinking that maybe they could really hold on.

Wu Qingqing has four mechas, two of which are custom-made and have locked onto genetic signals, so no one else can pilot them.

But she also had a mecha given by her family, which was a brand owned by the Xue family. She had only used it occasionally when she was cleaning up the ruins, and it was basically idle at other times.

We should try our best to save them. Whether they can continue to live depends on their own will and ability.

Otherwise, she alone can't protect them all.

Wu Qingqing took out a space button and put it into the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt sent the space button downwards.

Anyone can open this space button. The important thing is that after opening the space, brain waves are needed, which can also be called spirit. Only by connecting to this can you take things out.

There are activation methods for extending the Qi sense now, but that is something new and usually only people with advanced Qi sense can do it.

A soldier with relatively good physical fitness jumped out and took the space button.

He looked at the black wings above his head that looked like a miracle, and kissed the space button through his helmet.

They are still alive, even though there are only ten of them, it's good enough.

With a mecha, you can move more easily.

Wu Qingqing took a deep breath, then stayed with them and completed the rescue.

She can do it, she definitely can.

Wu Qingqing used to be very confused, but Su Xiaocai repeatedly told her not to regret any choice she made.

When survival and responsibility conflict, is it more important to stay alive or to save lives?
Wu Qingqing knew that at this moment, she made a choice that went against her nature and chose to save her life.

She also wants to be a general, so she has a chance of winning, and the soldiers below may be one of her future comrades-in-arms. No matter which factor it is, it makes her not want to escape.

The soldiers in the tower who got the mecha arranged their departure.

As the escape was imminent, some people were dissatisfied with the arrangement because there were only two seats in the cabin and if more people were squeezed in, it would affect the driving.

So the mecha master arranged for an older professor to sit in the rear safety seat. He had bad legs and feet and was dizzy, so he needed a relatively safe environment.

Others were tied with safety ropes and hung outside, and they were kept warm by space suits, so they could survive it.

Among the remaining ten people, there were five soldiers, a child about ten years old, a woman, a businessman and his secretary. They originally came to the mechanical planet for transit and stopped by to check out the nearby mines.

The one who has an opinion is not someone else, but the woman.

The woman is the child's aunt. The child's aunt means that she was holding the child in the safety seat, so that two people could sit in it.

Everyone’s health can’t stand the stress now, especially the professor’s health, so there can’t be any delay.

There is a chance to escape, but you still have to argue about it.

The soldier really didn't want to argue with her. Saving lives involves trade-offs. The professor was their man and had fallen into a coma, so the back seat had to be his.

The lady danced around to show her unwillingness, saying that she and her nephew were women and children, and everyone else should give in. She didn't want to hang out there like bait.

But no one paid attention to her shouting. No one could hear her anyway. She was just making gestures. No one knew what she was trying to express.

She has no right to make any decisions.

The rescue rope was forcibly held, and the others were afraid that human selfishness might lead to accidents, so they did not connect them in series, but tied ropes separately.

They were strapped to the chest of the mecha, with a shield in front of it, which served as a layer of protection.

The woman thought angrily: "If something unexpected happens, she will definitely ask for compensation."

The woman's nephew looked at his aunt's clenched fists helplessly. Although he was still young, he already had forehead wrinkles. He knew what his aunt wanted to say without having to guess.

When she was in the signal tower, the woman thought about compensation more than once. She didn't even think about the fact that in the war with the insect people, accidents are almost equivalent to death.

How to claim for death.

The ten-year-old held his aunt's hand.

The woman thought he was afraid and held his hand. The blood relationship made it impossible for her to let go of the child. The child's behavior was very heartwarming.
