Chapter 371: Arrival
Also on this evening.
170 kilometers away from the former forbidden area ‘Misty Canyon’, on this night, the same as countless nights before.
After the sun sets, the base becomes dark, the power plant operates at low power, and the other factories in the base stop production.
To avoid excessive power consumption and to prevent attracting giant beasts with lights and sounds.
The residents in the base had already gone to bed early. In this era without nightlife, being able to rest at sunset was a kind of happiness.
However, there were also some people who couldn’t end their busy day in their warm beds even after nightfall.
Qi Yuan was one of them.
But he was luckier than others because he was a Mecha Master. While he needed to work night shifts, at least he didn’t have to be exposed to the cold wind outside. Instead, he could hide in his warm duty room and even read ‘Playboy’ magazine.
“Hmm, this is nice, just a bit small in the chest.”
“I like this, long legs and big butt.”
Drooling over the magazine, Qi Yuan grabbed a can of beer, took a few sips, picked up some peanuts, and ate them happily.
Outside the duty room, two soldiers tightened their military coats, looking enviously at Qi Yuan.
“I wish I could have my own duty room like Mr. Qi, and be able to drink and eat peanuts too.”
One soldier wrote the word ‘envy’ on his face.
The other soldier nudged his companion, “Let’s go, stop envying; it’s because we don’t know how to operate a mecha.”
They hopped onto a base vehicle and drove along the designated route.
“Did you hear? Misty Canyon has disappeared.”
“I heard that there was a big battle over there, and many people lost their jobs.”
“Yeah, since the Forbidden Area is gone, many people are out of work. I think we might be next.”
“It’s possible. Our base may not be as big as the Longquan Base, but it’s not far from the Forbidden Area. Even if we can’t have meat, we can still have some soup.”
“Now that the Forbidden Area is gone, I think our base will be finished sooner or later.”
As the two were talking, a sudden strong wind came from nowhere and blew off one soldier’s hat.
The soldier looked up and saw the hat flying into the sky amidst the wind and snow. The sky was pitch black, as if even the moonlight had disappeared.
Just then, in the darkness, an eye appeared and stared back at the soldier from afar.
In the guard room, Qi Yuan put down his magazine and was about to get up to go to the bathroom when he heard a scream from outside.
He paused for a moment, then rushed out of the guard room towards his mecha.
Running, he called out on the base’s radio communication system, “I am Mecha Master Qi Yuan, what’s the situation now, please report.”
There was a quick response on the radio, “Qi Yuan pilot, there is a giant beast! There’s a huge…”
The communication suddenly cut off, and there was a loud noise in the earphones, causing Qi Yuan to take them off.
He entered the cockpit, put on his helmet, connected the neural wires, and achieved synchronization.
In the mecha warehouse, the engines and energy furnace lit up, then the lights on the mecha turned on, illuminating the scene outside the panoramic window.
Qi Yuan controlled his mecha to stride out of the warehouse, only to see a giant beast rampaging in the base.
The giant beast looked like a bug, with a big head and a small tail like an anchor.
However, it was smaller than the other giant beasts, and didn’t seem too difficult to deal with.
At that moment, the soldiers in the base were desperately trying to stop the giant beast, but their efforts were in vain. One soldier on a vehicle was even eaten by the giant beast along with the vehicle.
“Let me handle this!”
Qi Yuan shouted loudly as his giant robot rushed out, causing the ground to shake and waking up many people from their dreams.
The robot raised its rifle and shot at the smaller insect creature, the intense firepower quickly tearing the creature apart.
In the end, Qi Yuan tore the creature in half.
“Hmm, too easy.”
Qi Yuan glanced outside the panoramic window, spotting a giant beast with a head like an anchor, then he checked the giant beast radar.
“Strange, why isn’t there a match?”
Just then, the cockpit suddenly shook violently as another giant insect swooped down from above, colliding with the robot and causing Qi Yuan to tumble head over heels.
Looking through the panoramic window, Qi Yuan saw another anchor-shaped insect floating past overhead.
After the bug passed by him, he suddenly saw something poking out from the thick clouds covering the night sky.
It was a fin, so huge that it seemed unbelievable. It filled Qi Yuan’s view, leaving him unable to see anything else.
A feeling of indescribable and extreme danger made every hair on Qi Yuan’s body stand on end.
Before he could even gather his thoughts, his body was already in motion.
Mecha flipped over and got up, then under the astonished gazes of the soldiers, Qi Yuan controlled the mecha and fled for his life.
In the blink of an eye, the mecha had already rushed out of the base, heading towards the endless dark night.
Inside the cockpit, a voice in the base command room was shouting loudly.
“Qi Yuan, where are you going?”
“Qi Yuan, come back to me!”
“Oh no, Qi Yuan, are you going to betray us?”
“Wow, what is that…”
“Oh my goodness…”
“Help!”
The communication channel suddenly filled with static noise, and then the signal disappeared.
At that moment, Qi Yuan in the cockpit felt a strong jolt behind him, followed by flying debris outside the panoramic window.
The computer on the command console kept sounding alarms, warning that the pilot mecha was experiencing a strong impact.
Qi Yuan had to make the mecha crouch, lower its center of gravity, and wait for the resistance to the impact. When he looked back, he was immediately terrified.
The base disappeared.
Disappeared into a splendid glow of rising flames, in the flames, a creature shaped like a miniature giant beast swam and lurked.
Meanwhile, in the sky, a pair of fins were gradually retracting into the thick clouds.
Suddenly, a strong wind scattered the clouds in the sky, revealing the moon, which inexplicably had a yellow glow tonight, with streaks all around.
Suddenly, Qi Yuan took in a sharp breath of cold air.
That wasn’t the moon at all.
It was an eyeball!
At the same time.
In the ground monitoring department of the mecha troops in Changping City.
In the dead of night, a monitor was dozing off when suddenly the computer alarmed, startling him.
He jumped up and saw a line of information flashing crazily on the computer screen.
The monitor put on his strong prescription glasses, glanced at the screen, then took a sharp breath.
“Oh my goodness.”
“This spectrum signal.”
“Is this an Overlord-level giant beast?”
But at that moment, the signal on the screen disappeared all of a sudden.
The monitor was stunned for a moment, then almost collapsed on the workbench, frantically typing on the keyboard.
He used his authority to access some ground monitoring equipment, repeatedly scanning the area where the spectrum signal had just appeared.
But no matter how he scanned, he did not get any clues.
It’s as if there was just a computer glitch a moment ago?
