Chapter 58 Unable to escape
The moment the mecha appeared, Wu Qingqing, Hu Ping and Liu Xun all had the same expression.
Mouth opened wide, eyes wide.
He was controlled by the mecha appearance for three seconds.
It smells so good and is so charming. It’s definitely a mecha pilot’s dream machine.
On top of the ruins, a silver-black mecha stands with smooth lines, and every curve has a unique beauty.
The four rows of "wings" on the back are folded, and I don't know what weapons they are, but they fit in perfectly with the mecha.
If we compare Xue Huiyi's mecha with this mecha.
Xue Huiyi’s new design is entry-level for children, just like playing house.
Su Xiaocai's mecha is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also exudes an innate sense of sharpness.
One can tell at a glance that this mecha must be fast and powerful.
"What model is this mecha?"
"It doesn't have a model number. It's my work, called Black Wing." Su Xiaocai was not satisfied with the Black Wing, but no matter how bad it was, it was made by her own hands.
The main reason is that it costs a lot of money, and killing ordinary insect people is too wasteful. Only by killing the mother insect can she make a profit and have fun.
Liu Xun remembered that when they first met, he asked Su Xiaocai about the model of the mecha in the space hub, and she said there was none.
He actually mistakenly thought that there was "no" mecha in the space hub.
It turned out that Su Xiaocai was confusing the audience, saying that there were no mecha models.
So cunning, so cunning.
He knew that Su Xiaocai was scheming, cunning, and spoke in a roundabout way.
She doesn't lie, she just leads people astray and makes them follow her way of thinking.
From now on, he would think twice about what Su Xiaocai said, considering whether there were any linguistic loopholes.
"Master, you've been hiding this from me for so long." Wu Qingqing had always thought that Su Xiaocai preferred the hoe mecha model.
It turns out that her aesthetic taste is normal. No wonder the mecha she modified on the 022 mechanical planet is so good.
Su Xiaocai took off the equipment that was a bit in the way and jumped onto the mecha cabin. Liu Xun and Hu Ping's pupils shrank when they saw her special way of entering the cabin.
Although it was only a flash, they all saw it clearly.
Seeing that her whole body was wrapped in something, it was very different from the current safe cabin.
"What kind of technology is this? I want it too." Hu Ping wanted to use his dandy way, "I'll pay 100 million for that kind of safety cabin."
"You're asking for shit. I, your senior sister, don't have anything." If she could buy it with money, she would give all her pocket money in the bank to Su Xiaocai.
Seeing this, Liu Xun refused to give in and said, "Sister Su, I have no money. Can I work for you to pay off my debts?"
Wu Qingqing: "You poor bastard, how much money can you make working? Can you be more ambitious?" He is trying to pretend to be pitiful in order to get priority. How shameless.
"The one who is close to the water tower gets the moon first. Maybe you will call me Manager Liu in the future." Liu Xun was most worried about the employment problem. Ever since he met Hu Ping, Wu Qingqing and other rich kids, he became arrogant.
Su Xiaocai chuckled, "Stop messing around, let's go, the three of you go together, if you lose contact, remember to follow Wisdom 03's orders, if it tells you to retreat, you must retreat, don't think about saving anyone."
The three of them said obediently, "Yes, sir."
"What is the function of Wisdom 03?" Hu Ping poked it curiously.
Currently, Wisdom 03 is on Hu Ping's mecha, and he is not used to being in the same space with him.
Wisdom 03 transmitted the map to the three people. "Hello, I am Wisdom 03, the temporary navigator. I can provide you with warnings of surrounding dangers and terrain conditions."
Hu Ping stared at it intently. The map was very detailed, like a map discovered by a professional pathfinder robot. The insect people about two kilometers away from them could see it moving.
No wonder it is called the navigator, it is the mecha pilot’s other pair of eyes.
You can predict the direction and distance of the insect man's attack in advance and will not be easily deceived like the naked eye.
Wu Qingqing and Liu Xun stared at the small map that popped up on the screen, their hearts calm.
It's so vicious. It doesn't even leave any chance for other students to survive.
Like the gap between a genius student and a top student.
There is a new type of homemade mecha in front and an intelligent navigator in the back.
No matter what scientific research results other students come up with, it will not shock them.
Su Xiaocai reminded: "Don't rely too much on 03, observe more, there are some situations that 03 doesn't include, and it can't analyze them."
In short, Wisdom 03 is not omnipotent, and Su Xiaocai requires them to do everything they can to survive.
"Okay, okay, Master Su, if you have any instructions, just let me know."
"Yes, by the way, do I need to draw lots to order custom mechas? Do the shareholders of the company have priority in the draw?"
Su Xiaocai: "I'm doing serious work. I won't die. I'll think about it."
The three of them cheered softly, "Yeah."
After the cheers, the atmosphere became dull.
Under the big pit, dust was floating and it was dark and quiet.
There are traces of insect-man invasion everywhere.
Except for them, no one survived, and every trace of blood was licked clean by the insect people.
Wu Qingqing suddenly felt sad: "Master, is it really okay for us to choose not to save people?" So many people died just like that.
It feels cruel when playing games, but in reality, I feel more confused and uneasy.
Wu Qingqing was still very uneasy, "Is it right to watch someone die without helping him?"
"There is no right or wrong in fighting. We just need to make the most favorable decision for the current situation." Su Xiaocai said calmly: "If you must discuss right and wrong, just consider it as a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. If you make a mistake this time, you will make it again next time. As long as it is not against the law, it is no big deal."
What a weird and twisted logic, it makes me even more uncomfortable.
Doesn't this mean that they will make more decisions like this in the future?
"We can't save them, just use your brain and you'll know that." They were wearing a full set of equipment so that they could remain motionless and not be discovered by the insect people that they are human.
Without equipment, humans would be discovered if they blinked, trembled, or breathed.
What if he was lucky enough not to die? Falling from such a high place would definitely result in serious injuries.
We have to find a way to rush out of the pit, send the injured person to the hospital before he dies, and make sure the hospital has enough medical equipment and gives priority to saving him, so that he can survive.
Which procedure is simple.
If you can’t save anyone, don’t be a good person.
Su Xiaocai has made too many similar choices, whether to save the majority or the minority, to give up or to move on, all with only one principle, which is that humans will win.
The silver-black mecha moved forward and jumped over a "tall building".
In front is the entrance scanned by Wisdom 03.
There are hundreds of entrances underground, but according to Wisdom 03's analysis, only the insect man rushing out of that entrance was not an ordinary greedy one, but an evolved form similar to the big eyeball.
With such a special hole, the probability of the mother body existing is very high.
The silver-black mecha and the three mecha instruments behind it moved towards the mother body.
……
On the ground, the military ordered a quick retreat and sent the first group of people away first.
The military will gather the survivors in a safe center and ask them to hold on for five hours. After five hours, reinforcements and transport planes will arrive.
"How can you hold on for five hours?"
All the students were still alive and were stunned when they heard the news. They had learned the theory and understood that it was impossible to defend under such circumstances.
The order is clearly unreasonable.
They were above the insect people's base camp, and there were insect people everywhere outside. In two or five hours, this place would become a deserted city.
But the manned ship had already been launched, and a hundred mecha divisions were urgently escorting it, leaving the city with a hundred fewer mecha divisions.
We can’t defend it. Which idiot gave the order?
Fan Li brought Ji Heng and others back to the military headquarters and quickly ran to the office building. The lieutenant colonel guarding the city was commanding in the lobby and checking the damage to Huangyang City.
Nearly half of the entire Huangyang City collapsed.
The instructors leading the students all gathered together and couldn't help but look at Fan Li, "How are your students?"
Fan Li's expression was heavy: "It fell in."
The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city and the soldier responsible for secretly protecting Su Xiaocai's safety were shocked, "Don't they have mechas? They didn't choose to come back immediately."
"How to climb onto the mecha when the ground collapses?" The accident happened too suddenly, not to mention that so many high-rise buildings collapsed. The mortality rate would be higher if you just climb onto the mecha than if you find shelter on the spot.
"Then why are you so calm?" As far as they knew, Fan Li was a very loyal and sentimental person. It was impossible for a student who spent ten days together to have no emotional fluctuations.
Fan Li was not calm, but he knew that Su Xiaocai was alive, and as long as she was alive, the other three students would survive.
"What else? I can't possibly jump in with them." Fan Li now only wanted to know who gave the order to hold on. He turned to ask the lieutenant colonel stationed in the city, "Can we know who gave the order?" The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city frowned, "It seems that you don't care who gave the order. You just need to obey the order."
Ji Heng asked, "Is it Major General Mo?"
The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city glanced at Ji Heng, and the others also looked at him quietly.
After a moment of silence, he nodded, "It's Major General Mo."
"Go, ask again, who has the contact information of Lieutenant General Bai? We cannot defend the city. If we do, our entire army will be annihilated."
The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city rejected the suggestion. His eyes were full of vicissitudes, but they were full of loyalty and stubbornness. "We are the subordinates of Major General Mo. All orders cannot go beyond Major General Mo. This is discipline. There are also the people of the city. We cannot abandon them and leave."
"Then let the students leave first. We soldiers can stay, but they are just students. Why does Major General Mo's order require the students to stay here?"
"Subordinates can carry out orders from above according to different situations. Going to outer space for defense is also defense, and it doesn't count as disobeying orders. No matter what, we can't stay here."
The colonel stationed in the city didn't start talking. He didn't understand why Major General Mo didn't mention it when the students were one of the focuses of the retreat.
It is impossible that Major General Mo forgot, because the day before, he said that he could keep the students to exercise.
What went wrong? Major General Mo would not make such an obvious mistake. He always values human life.
Fan Li no longer cared about the level difference. He was usually cautious, but this was the first time he was so reckless.
"Life and death, no discipline. Ask again, confirm the mission. We only have a few hundred garrisons left, and there are still students here. We can't defend it."
The lieutenant colonel didn't want to do this. He was ambitious. He had gone through a lot of hardships to get to this position. If he violated the discipline, half of his achievements over the years would be deducted.
"What are you still hesitating about? Do you think you can stay out of this if your students die? It's even a question of whether we can escape." Fan Li yelled.
He now wished that Su Xiaocai was there to question Lieutenant General Bai as a student, but he did not have Lieutenant General Bai's contact information.
Colonel Bai couldn't be contacted again.
Some civilian staff and several girls cried on the spot, but quietly, trying not to cry out loud.
That's what makes it so painful.
The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and chose to stand on the side of the students. He contacted Major General Mo directly, and the other party answered, "Major General Mo, UJ33..."
Before I could finish, the line was disconnected.
The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city tried to contact again, but the communicator showed no signal from the space base station.
Others also tried to contact the outside world, but to no avail.
Why is there no signal? Are all the base stations destroyed?
The Zerg have already invaded the sky, so the transport plane that just left with the people on board...
"Contact the manned ship that just left, quickly!"
Just as he finished speaking, a huge explosion was heard in the sky and a strong wind blew towards the ground.
Everyone's face turned pale. The Information Department monitored that behind the dust curtain raised by the yellow sand, they could vaguely see that the silver hull had been divided into several parts.
The manned ship crashed.
All around it, there were tiny sparks of fire, the light of the sacrifice of the mecha pilot.
Someone pointed at a huge black shadow behind a cloud of dust in the picture and shouted, "What is that?
The black shadow only revealed the tip of the iceberg, but it was already terrifying beyond belief.
The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city felt his knees weaken and he sat down on the chair.
They were tricked by the insect people, and it happened that when the students came, there were several children from big families in the capital star.
He should have rejected his superior's order earlier and sent the students back directly. The students were not under the jurisdiction of the military, and his superior could not blame him even if they were forcibly withdrawn.
"Lieutenant Colonel, what should we do now?" Everyone was waiting for his order. The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city had a gloomy face and said, "We can't escape."
With limited weapons, the Matrix is probably in the pit, but at this point they can’t get past the Zerg army and jump into the pit to kill the Matrix.
The remaining hundreds of mecha divisions cannot do it.
Their number of people out rescuing survivors is also decreasing.
The atmosphere became tense. What should I do? What should I do?
Li Leilei hugged Feng Wansha and tried her best to hold back her tears. "Can we escape?"
Feng Wansha analyzed the current situation. The insect people are besieging from all sides. The number of humans is limited, but the number of insect people is unlimited.
An absolute dilemma has been formed. To break it, we must kill the mother body and the soldiers, and send reinforcements in time.
However, in a situation where death is inevitable, will the higher-ups really send reinforcements?
Feng Wansha thought of the most terrifying follow-up: the people outside would finally use planet-destroying weapons to bury the humans and the insect people together.
It is the most labor-saving and highly efficient super-standard weapon for suppressing the reproduction of insect people.
To use it once, permission from five generals is required.
If Cai Cai were here, what would she do?
She had never played a similar scene in the game, so the chances of escaping were too slim.
At this moment, Ji Heng's communicator rang, but because it was on silent mode, no one noticed.
Who would call a student at this time.
Ji Heng looked closely and saw that it was Su Xiaocai, so he answered the call immediately.
When he wanted to ask where she was, they were surrounded.
"Ji Er, I am entering the nest to kill the mother. You are the captain of the team. Please lead the team to survive before I come back. Make the best decision you think is best at the moment."
"I know you'll probably be in trouble. There are two space hubs in the room where I slept yesterday. Take them out. One of the space hubs contains a hundred protective devices that need to be assembled. It's a patented product I researched. There's an instruction manual inside. It can help you survive for ten hours. You can distribute them accordingly."
"There is another space button. It is a weapon I gave to you. I originally gave it to you in the last three days. You can share it among them. Also give a weapon to the instructor."
"Wish you and me good luck."
Su Xiaocai sent the last voice call and then blocked any further messages.
Ji Heng turned and ran. Fan Li asked, "Ji Heng, where are you going?"
"Wait for me for a moment." Ji Heng ran to the door of Su Xiaocai's room. Su Xiaocai did not lock the door, so he took the two space buttons placed on the bedside.
A space button worth millions, thrown everywhere, is also a talent.
As Ji Heng opened the instruction manual, he rehearsed in his mind what to do next.
Even though Su Xiaocai risked her life by falling into the pit, she was still thinking about the people behind her. She was not cold-blooded, she was just too rational.
Ji Heng suddenly felt that this was the candidate for his fiancée that the Ji family should be looking for.
Thinking, awareness and intelligence are all in the atmosphere, responsible, socially competent, beautiful...
Wait, Ji Heng thought to himself that he was sick. He just divorced his fiancée, how could he make the same mistake again? He knew himself well and there was no way Su Xiaocai would be with him.
He couldn't control her. In his brother's words, he was only fit to be a beast of burden in front of Su Xiaocai.
After Ji Heng read the instructions.
Well, even cattle and horses praised him.
Fan Li did not listen to Ji Heng. The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city had already assigned tasks to everyone.
When Ji Heng returned, he couldn't find anyone. Now he was in trouble. Where had the lieutenant colonel stationed in the city gone? Where was Instructor Fan?
"Hey, kid, don't you have a mission?" asked a soldier who was passing by.
"There is a mission." Ji Heng turned his head. This situation was in line with what Su Xiaocai said about special situations requiring special treatment. He had his own things to do.
His teammates were still waiting for him.
Feng Wansha and Li Leilei were reserve students. The lieutenant colonel stationed in the city arranged for them to enter the shelter, but they were unwilling to do so and wanted to follow the movement, so no one cared about them.
Ji Heng took out the protective device. This thing needed to be assembled. Ji Heng felt that it would be more appropriate to give it to Feng Wansha and Li Leilei.
"Feng Wansha, Li Leilei, I'm going to give you a task. Can you complete it within an hour?"
"what?"
Ji Heng handed the things to the two of them, along with the instruction manual, and said, "After the assembly is completed, don't send it out for now. Wait for the instructor to arrange it."
The bargaining chips that Su Xiaocai left behind were first to ensure the safety of his classmates, and then the life of the instructor.
Only with the instructor's presence can their lives be protected.
Captain, much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
"What about the people? How to arrange it?"
"The safety device can only accommodate four people at most." One hundred protective devices, including children, can protect at most five hundred people.
Then some people have to give up.
This is a heavy decision.
"I don't know if it can be modified." Li Leilei thinks this kind of protector has great potential.
"No." Feng Wansha said, "It's written in the instructions that it can't be modified at will. You have to believe that Su Xiaocai must have her own intentions when she did this."
Yesterday, I didn't set up the group properly, and it was set to private by default. It was my first time to create a group, and I was so stupid that I cried. Today, you can join!
