Chapter 314: Communication Cut-Off
Thick fog enveloped the surroundings.
Dugu Changxin, wearing a helmet, approached the outside of the cockpit of the out-of-control mecha and manually opened the hatchway.
As the hatchway opened, the lights inside the cockpit flickered, some wires hanging down from above, but overall, the situation inside the cockpit seemed relatively well.
The big window wasn’t broken, the pilot was still safely strapped in the seat, but the Mecha Master seemed unaware that the battle had ended.
When Dugu Changxin and Kang Shun entered, Liu Bo was still holding tightly onto the floating controller with both hands, shouting inside his helmet.
“Don’t come closer!”
“Don’t come any closer!”
The two exchanged a glance, then flanked him from both sides. The pilot still had his helmet on, eyes wide open with bloodshot eyes, a twisted expression of excitement on his face, clearly in an abnormal state of heightened agitation.
Kang Shun glanced at the name on the pilot’s suit, then spoke into the helmet’s communication system, “Captain, the pilot is alive, but he’s not doing well.”
“Seems to be in some kind of illusion.”
“Got it.”
Kang Shun looked at Dugu Changxin, “The captain says to give him a tranquilizer shot.”
From his tactical waist pack, Dugu Changxin took out a medical kit. Inside, he grabbed a bottle of tranquilizer and loaded it into a syringe.
On the other side, Kang Shun had already opened the pilot’s helmet. Throughout the whole process, Liu Bo didn’t even look at him.
But when Dugu Changxin approached to give him an injection, Liu Bo suddenly turned his head to look at the man with silver long hair, “Monster, go away!”
“Go away!”
He jumped up to attack Dugu Changxin, but Kang Shun held him from behind, giving Dugu Changxin the chance to inject him.
After the tranquilizer was injected, Liu Bo finally calmed down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Dugu Changxin sighed in relief and nodded at Kang Shun.
In the end, they brought this team member along.
They waited for Liu Bo to wake up so they could understand what he had encountered in the forbidden area.
The mecha team continued to venture deeper into the forbidden land.
On the communication channel, Kang Shun said, “I found out that Liu Bo is a member of Senior Colonel Liang Jian’s team.”
Bai Chou whispered, “The others wouldn’t be in the same situation, right?”
There was a moment of silence on the communication channel.
Liang Jian, who led the team into the forbidden land in the morning, lost contact with the base completely after several hours. The last contact showed no abnormalities. However, the team equipped with Divine Guard Level Mecha disappeared without a trace.
Evening came in the blink of an eye.
By this time, the light in the forbidden land had become very dim. The mecha needed to turn on their lights to see the surrounding scenes clearly.
After walking for an afternoon, Luo Yan and his team entered the dangerous zone of the forbidden land. The landscape had changed from forests and plains to desolate canyon areas.
As they walked, Luo Yan suddenly saw the skull of a giant beast right in front of him.
Through the panoramic window, he could see the huge and hollow eye sockets on the skull, densely packed with grayish-white sharp teeth. When the thick fog churned, the skeleton of a giant beast could be faintly seen in the mist.
Suddenly, two points lit up in the breastbone of the giant beast, causing Luo Yan to be excited, and rings of fire appeared in his eyes.
The ‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’ activated, revealing a huge gray light creature lurking in the thick fog and beast bones.
Giant beast!
But the giant beast suddenly burst out of the animal bones and ran away.
The giant beast was so close, yet the giant beast radar did not sound any alarms.
Luo Yan was about to inform Di Zheng of the situation when suddenly he felt a shocking sensation all over his body.
This was a dangerous signal.
Shortly after, it was observed that around the group of mechas, clusters of gray lights from giant beasts had inexplicably appeared.
Strangely, these gigantic beasts have arrived nearby, but the radar didn’t detect them at all.
Luo Yan immediately warned on the public channel, “Gigantic beasts are approaching!”
Since it was a joint operation, the public channel also allowed access to the mechas of the Changping Army Group.
Upon hearing Luo Yan’s warning, Meng Fanxi coldly snorted, “Nonsense, the radar showed no reaction.”
Just then, a giant wolf covered in emerald scales, with green flames under its feet, leaped out from the thick fog.
It pounced onto his mecha in an instant.
Due to the empathy system, Meng Fanxi felt a sudden weight on his back and shoulders, causing the mecha to uncontrollably lunge forward.
It was only then that he exclaimed in shock and looked back, seeing through the panoramic window a giant wolf crouching on his shoulder. The wolf’s head had no eyes, but its mouth was full of sharp fangs.
Then a green light glowed in its dark throat, and in the next moment, a large burst of green flames sprayed onto the panoramic window.
At the same time.
One by one, enormous creatures of different shapes rushed out from the thick fog, colliding with the group of mechas.
Due to the malfunction of the giant beast radar, the mecha group was caught off guard by the sudden attack of the giant beast horde.
Suddenly, everyone started fighting on their own.
Luo Yan used the heavy shield ‘Mount Tai’ to block the attack of a red-spotted scale snake, then unleashed the ‘Iris’ cannon to bombard it. The flying metal stream bombarded the lower-ranking giant snake, causing its scales to scatter and flee.
Next, the longsword ‘Flying Cloud’ slashed with a twisting sword light, leaving a deep visible wound on a ‘Xingxing’ creature that leaped from above.
At that moment, Di Zheng’s voice came through the communication channel, “Retreat and regroup.”
“I’ll hold them off for a moment.”
“Let’s move!”
The Guangling Legion had complete trust in Di Zheng. When they heard the command, they didn’t doubt and quickly retreated in their mechas.
The Mecha Master of the Changping Army Group was a bit slow to react. It wasn’t until their vice captain Lu Shihan shouted, “Hurry, let’s go!” that Ma Shuo and the others hurriedly controlled their mechas to retreat.
While retreating, Luo Yan glanced back and saw the ‘Mystical Wing’ with its wing-like cloak spread out behind, holding up the majestic Dragon Head Golden Spear. Thunder and lightning broke through the mist from all directions, converging on the spear.
The ‘Mystical Wing’ fiercely swung the Dragon Head Golden Spear, causing countless thunderbolts to tear through the thick fog, revealing the fierce figures of several giant beasts in the air.
Then, the Thunder Light fell, creating a forest of thunder with destructive power that suppressed many giant beasts.
Making them burn, explode, and shatter in electric light.
On the communication channel.
Kang Shun whispered, “We don’t really need to reform our formation, right? The captain is just worried about accidentally harming us, which is why he told us to retreat.”
Luo Yan nodded in agreement.
In front, the mist swirled, the electric snakes trembled chaotically, casting a reflection of the mecha ‘Mystical Wing’ like a god.
‘Mystical Wing’ folded its wings, holding the Dragon Head Golden Spear, and turned around.
Di Zheng’s voice came through the communication channel, “Is everyone okay?”
“We’re okay,” everyone replied.
Di Zheng nodded and said, “Then let’s continue…”
He paused, then exclaimed, “Team Four, one of your mechas is offline!”
Luo Yan looked at the formation screen on the command console, seeing the flashing ‘Eight Doors’ icon with the words ‘Communication Interrupted.’
