Chapter 313: Mental Collapse
The base vehicle came to a stop with a ‘creak’, and Luo Yan hopped off to see a bustling scene.
Cargo helicopters landed on the empty space of the unloading area, where workers busily unloaded the goods from the helicopters using various tools, stacking them temporarily together.
Mecha maintenance personnel were using lifting equipment to make final checks on the mecha that were about to go into battle.
Among the busy crowd, Luo Yan spotted Lin Wei, dressed in a pilot suit, talking to Jia Miao.
The two seemed to be having a conversation, then Lin Wei walked towards her mecha, the red painted ‘Red Moth’.
Was she also going out?
At that moment, Kang Shun lightly bumped Luo Yan’s arm.
He pointed to a mecha in the distance, saying, “Look, that’s Captain Di’s ‘Mystical Wing’, a Divine General-class unit.”
“The captain’s Divine General-level mecha doesn’t move easily, indicating that this time the forbidden area anomaly is not simple.”
Luo Yan followed his finger and saw a black mecha.
This mecha is made of special armor, covered in black scales all over the body, making it look like a black dragon.
The mecha’s eyes, energy joints, and decorations are all golden.
The most distinctive feature is the folded wings on its back, the pair of black wings folded behind it, resembling an iron cape.
‘Mystical Wing’ is equipped with a thick shield on one arm, holding a Dragon Head Golden Spear in the other hand, and a black long sword hanging from its waist.
Standing there, it gives off a powerful sense of oppression.
All along.
Luo Yan had only seen Di Zheng’s ‘Blue Edge’ before, thinking it was a Divine General-level mecha, but now realizes there is another Divine General-level mecha.
The ‘Mystical Wing’ looks more magnificent in design than the ‘Blue Edge’.
“Don’t daydream.”
Captain Yan Wenbo’s voice sounded, “Everyone get on the mechas, get ready to depart.”
In the cockpit of the ‘White Dragon’, Luo Yan was adjusting various settings, when Di Zheng’s voice came through the communication channel, “Is everyone ready?”
“Ready!”
One by one, voices sounded in the communication channel.
A window appeared on the command console, showing the members of the team for this mission.
The team consists of two groups.
One group is led by Di Zheng’s assault team.
One group is Class Three, Team Four, where Luo Yan belongs.
There is no ‘Red Moth’, it seems Lin Wei has another task.
Two groups of people, totaling ten mechas.
Get ready to set off!
Di Zheng’s voice echoed in the communication channel, “The mission this time is to search for the location of the Overlord-level giant beast ‘Huan’ and rescue Liang Jian and others who have lost contact.”
“There is a mutation in the forbidden area, ‘Huan’ may be evolving towards a higher life form, everyone needs to be extremely careful.”
“After entering the forbidden area, be careful not to get separated.”
“If you do get separated, don’t panic, immediately send a distress signal.”
“In any case, no matter how many people go in, the same number have to come back to me.”
“As long as there is hope, I will not give up on anyone.”
“Now, attack!”
With a command from Di Zheng, ten mechas started moving, taking enormous steps like giants, leaving the base.
Outside the base, looking through the panoramic window, Luo Yan saw another team of mechas waiting.
Then, Yan Wenbo’s voice came through the team channel, “This is a joint operation now. The Changping Army Group has also sent out mechas. I heard their vice captain is leading the team.”
“Oh, I know them.”
Luo Yan glanced at the mechas and saw Ma Shuo and Meng Fanxi inside them.
Dugu Changxin’s voice immediately sounded on the communication channel, “Why is that team here too?”
Kang Shun expressed concern, “I hope nothing unexpected happens.”
Yan Wenbo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, with the captain here, nothing unexpected will happen.”
“Okay, focus, we’re about to enter the forbidden area.”
As they spoke, the two teams of mechas merged, maintaining a certain distance. Twenty mechas, led by ‘Mystical Wing’, strode into the forbidden area and disappeared into the thick fog.
Forbidden Area No. 3, Misty Canyon.
The outskirts of the forbidden area were surrounded by mountains and plains, which weren’t particularly dangerous in terrain. However, the thick fog that usually only existed deep within the forbidden area had now spread to the outskirts.
This made Luo Yan and the others remain cautious.
Inside and outside the thick fog felt like different worlds.
The base was filled with sunlight, it was the brightest time of the afternoon.
But inside the forbidden area, the sunlight shining through the fog seemed pale and weak, unable to provide the warmth it should.
In the thick fog, it felt like a storm was brewing. The atmosphere was heavy, and under the influence of the fog, the trees and rocks became twisted and strange, giving off a sense of danger.
“So quiet.”
Bai Chou’s voice came through the team channel.
Luo Yan nodded lightly in agreement.
It is indeed too quiet.
Not a single sound, not even the roar of a giant beast.
Although in the past few days, the two army units from the underground cities have been taking turns sweeping and clearing the outskirts of the forbidden area, killing quite a few giant beasts.
Yet it shouldn’t be this quiet.
Luo Yan squinted slightly, and his red eyes immediately showed rings of fiery light.
‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’!
Activating Divine Hidden Art, he looked around and suddenly saw a gray light orb floating in front of him.
Around that gray light orb, Luo Yan saw the outline of a mechanical body made up of lines.
He immediately warned, “There’s trouble ahead.”
Almost at the same time, Di Zheng’s voice sounded over the public channel, “Halt.”
All mechas stopped moving.
Then, sounds of mechanical movements came from the thick fog.
The ground shook slightly, and after a moment, a battle-worn mecha appeared from the thick fog.
A Mystical Mecha!
Only armor missing from many parts of the machine, revealing circuits and devices inside.
The mecha walked in a very stiff and awkward posture.
Di Zheng immediately used the speaker function to speak, “Mecha in front, I am Di Zheng, please identify yourself.”
The damaged mecha stopped.
But there was no response at all.
Luo Yan squinted slightly, focusing on the humanoid gray light, reading information.
‘Liu Bo, 27 years old, Guangling Legion Mecha Master.’
Luo Yan read his thoughts again.
‘giant beast!’
‘So many giant beasts!’
‘No, please!’
‘No, please!’
The huge text almost filled Luo Yan’s view.
From the words in Mecha Master’s heart, it seemed like his spirit had collapsed.
Just then, the damaged mecha suddenly raised its rifle and started firing at the mecha group with a series of shots!
‘Mystical Wing’ raised the scale shield, easily blocking the attacks, while continuing to shout, “Stop it now!”
“I am Di Zheng from the Guangling Legion!”
“Not an enemy!”
However, as Luo Yan had guessed, something had happened to the pilot inside the mecha, causing them to lose control and launch attacks in a crazed manner.
Seeing that shouting did not work, ‘Mystical Wing’ raised its shield and advanced, taking a few steps towards the out-of-control mecha. It dove down like a black lightning bolt through the mist and swiftly arrived near the out-of-control mecha.
‘Mystical Wing’ lifted the Dragon Head Golden Spear and with a sweep, slashed across the neck of the out-of-control mecha, severing its head along with the cockpit inside.
Under Di Zheng’s command, ‘Mystical Wing’ grabbed the head of the out-of-control mecha and gently placed it on the ground.
At the neck of the headless mecha, a liquid sprayed out and scattered onto the ground like rain.
