Cataclysm King

Chapter 436 New World Mechanical Group

 More than a month later.

 Eastern Wasteland.

　　Grass moss wasteland.

This is the no-man's land of the Eastern Wasteland. There is not a single human stronghold within tens of thousands of miles.

This is also a remote place that was never marked on the map of the Card Master Federation.

The most indispensable thing in the wasteland is the sea-like green fluorescent weeds.

 The breeze blows, and large tracts of wild grass undulate like waves, like a fluorescent ocean.

By chance, a gust of wind blew by, and a bit of metallic luster shone in the depths of the sea of ​​grass.

Those were clearly several "Hunter God" mechanical battle armors.

Looking closely, a group of seven or eight mechanics wearing liquid combat uniforms were using the sea of ​​grass to hide themselves.

It seems that the situation of this group of people is not good, everyone looks tired, and there are two wounded people lying dying among them.

 They have been besieged in the wilderness for more than half a month.

 An atmosphere of despair is spreading.

“Seventh brother, if we don’t return to the base to resupply, the kinetic energy raw materials and consumables of the armor will be exhausted. Also, Jibu and Ari are injured, and they may not be able to survive.”

"Roger, you are making things difficult for the captain. Those guys from Oran Palace have been chasing us for more than a month. Do you really think they can't kill us? They just want us to return to the base so that they can find the location of the base. Once we go back, we will It affects everyone."

"However, now that we have turned off the communication signal with the base, the base will definitely send people to find us. After all, we have the 'God-Destroying Artillery Experimental Equipment and Data' in our hands. By then, the people in the Oran Palace will definitely think Way to catch the search team."

"Hey. I hope the search team can find the encrypted information we left before being discovered. Otherwise, we will be in trouble."

ˆ “.”

These eight mechanics are all young, and the young girl with a heroic face who is called "Captain" at the head is Dong Qi.

The others were none other than her classmates at the Royal Mechanical College.

These people have good talents in the mechanical field, but because they are civilians and do not have enough money to support experiments and equipment, they were not outstanding in the "Federal Mechanical Warfare College".

 It was precisely because they were not outstanding and the Song family secretly operated that they were not recruited by the Oran royal family.

Now the Song family's elite mechanical team is formed, responsible for controlling the first mass-produced mechanical armor. The number has an interesting name - New World Mechanical Legion.

This time their mission is to cover the experimental team in testing some powerful secret equipment in the wilderness.

But for some reason, they were targeted by the Oran royal family and surrounded them for more than half a month, resulting in many casualties.

The rest of them have no chance of survival if they go up there.

 In Eastern Wasteland, no one can be sure to rescue them from their current predicament.

 The team gathered in a circle and chatted about recent developments.

 The tone is all gloomy.

There was a lifeless atmosphere surrounding the haystack.

 Dong Qi remained silent and did not speak.

 As the captain, her mood is even more heavy.

 She also knows the current situation better than anyone else.

Olan Royal Court sent a Titan armor to chase them. It may be difficult for their team to survive.

 But she will never give up.

Seeing the increasingly low morale, Dong Qi glanced at the group of teammates who shared life and death, and read out their names one by one: "Gibb, Rock, Dina, Donna, Ari, Roger Wendelin was a classmate who trusted each other in the past. Now, we are sincere comrades fighting side by side. As long as we unite, we can overcome any difficulties."

When everyone was told this, the seven team members all looked over.

 In their eyes, Dong Qi is not only the captain, but also a guiding light in the field of machinery.

Regardless of her mechanical proficiency, combat level, righteous character, or anything else, she is a role model for everyone to follow.

 This is also the basis for everyone’s absolute trust in her.

With this statement, everyone seemed to be inspired by those words, and the deathly aura in their eyes was relieved a lot.

Dong Qi said, looking at the expectant eyes, and said: "I don't want to hide it from everyone, the current situation is not optimistic. Everyone must be mentally prepared. We can't return to the base until the chasing troops are solved. . And once captured alive, please activate self-destruction immediately, and never leave the body to the enemy, including myself. This is the only way to avoid injuring others."

 Speaking of this, the black-haired girl with small freckles on the face of the team said: "Captain, we are not afraid of death. We just feel that we obviously have such powerful equipment, but we are trapped to death by the enemy. It is very frustrating."

As soon as she said these words, someone beside her said excitedly: "Yes! We are not afraid of death. On the contrary, because of you, Brother Qi, we are able to come into contact with the pinnacle mechanical art of the God of Hunting Armor and the most advanced mechanical knowledge. I My lifelong dream is to ride on the battlefield with the best armor. Now that my dream has come true, I won’t have any fear.”

“Yes! Let’s fight with those guys from Oran Royal Court! Our ‘New World Mechanical Chapter’ will never give in.”

"Yes! I have always believed that machinery will bring civilization to the new world! Even if our group is destroyed this time, there will definitely be people in the future who will remember our team that once fought for mechanical civilization in the new world. group'!"

ˆ “.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other team members also became excited.

 The oppression of death was swept away at this moment, and these young mechanics could only feel the burning desire to see death as home.

 Dong Qi looked at his teammates and nodded seriously.

She also has this plan. Even if she dies in battle, she will never surrender to the enemy.

 But mechanics are a group of extraordinary people who believe in science, and combat also requires rigorous data comparison and tactical support.

After everyone finished speaking, Dong Qi said again: "The rest of the enemies are okay. Our Hunter God armor can all be killed together, even the seventh-order Moon God Guard. But that 'Titan' armor, even if I am currently using my experimental equipment to deal with it at full power, and I can only contain it for a while. This is the biggest trouble."

This statement seemed to pour cold water on everyone's newly restored high-spirited fighting spirit.

　　　Everyone wilted away all of a sudden.

As mechanics, only they know that the "Titan Armor" is like a completely insurmountable mountain.

 It is precisely because of their understanding of machinery that they know how terrifying the Titan armor, which is several orders of magnitude higher in technology and material than the Hunter God armor, is!

  Information said that there are currently three Titan armors in the Oran Royal Court, and they are all ancient relics.

 It was an honor to have one come all the way to this no-man’s land to cause trouble for them.

But behind this honor, there is also despair that cannot be matched.

 The same is true for Dong Qi.

In the previous fight, she relied on the [Power Gem Golden Ball] given by Ji Xun to give her armor an unlimited source of power. With some laboratory-level equipment, she was able to hold on to the situation and prevent the enemy from defeating her in the first wave. The group is destroyed.

 But there is absolutely no way to change the situation.

The enemy didn't kill them, they were just curious about the special equipment on her and were afraid that she would destroy herself; moreover, they wanted to find the base through them, so the cat and mouse lasted until now.

 The atmosphere in the team dropped again, and Dong Qi told the worst case scenario.

However, looking at the faces whose hope lit up and disappeared, she suddenly changed the topic and expressed the last hope in her heart: "You don't need to be so pessimistic. The current situation is actually not completely hopeless."

 There was an unprecedented hesitation in her tone.

 Because she is not sure either.

 However, to others, this seems to be grasping the last straw of hope.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the seven team members lit up, as if hope was immediately ignited again.

 All team members know that captain Dong Qi has always been rigorous, and what she says must be reliable.

Donna beside Dong Qi quickly asked: "Captain, what do you mean by hope?"

Thinking of something, a soft color appeared in Dong Qijing's eyes, and he said calmly: "Half a month ago, I received a communication, and a very powerful friend of mine came to see me."

 “A very powerful friend?”

“Seventh brother said he is a very powerful friend, of course he is very powerful!”

"Is he a master of the revolutionary army? Hahaha, I still remember it fresh. When I found out that Brother Qi belonged to Miss Hong Lou on the wanted notice, I was so shocked that my jaw dropped."

ˆ “.”

 Regarding the "mysterious master", the teammates all started talking excitedly.

Although everyone knows that the Titan mechanical armor can easily kill the seventh level.

 But among the revolutionary army, there is a Valkyrie who is now famous throughout the Eastern Wasteland—Qin!

 Could it be that one who has come?

Dong Qi only had a faint smile on his face when he heard everyone's guesses.

It seemed like he acquiesced to the guesses made by the team members.

 But no one could see the strange color hidden in her eyes.

 If she remembers correctly, this was the first time in her life that she had lied to a friend.

 she thought.

 If death is inevitable in the end, then letting everyone die with hope seems to be the only thing he, the captain, can do.

If you are in danger, that Aunt Qin will definitely come.

 But the friend Dong Qi was talking about at this moment was not Qin Rushi who was far away in the far north.

 It’s Ji Xun.

 Half a month ago, before she was besieged and on the way to the experiment, she received this message from the base. Ji Xun had arrived in Donghuang and was on her way.

 But unfortunately, they were attacked by the Oran Royal Court later.

The Oran royal family currently masters a lot of black technology.

 In order to prevent the signal from revealing the location of the base, she turned off all communication devices.

  No more contact.

 Calculate the time if he is going to come.

 It should be almost found.

 But Dong Qi was very conflicted.

 She was looking forward to seeing her old friend, but she didn't want to see him.

Dong Qi wanted to see him because if he still felt regretful, it would be best to at least meet his old friend before he died.

But Dong Qi didn’t want to see him.

 Because he is afraid that it will be dangerous if he comes.

 Because the Titan Armor currently has no solution.

 She could not think of anyone coming who could solve this problem.

 Dong Qi knew that Ji Xun would definitely come.

 He is so smart, but Fatty Song is not strict with his mouth.

  Just tell him the approximate location and he will be able to guess where he wants to hide.

 But here it comes

It’s very dangerous.

Dong Qi doesn’t want his friends to be in danger.

 But there is always a voice in my heart, saying from time to time that that person always brings surprises to people. It seems that every desperate situation in the past has been like this.

 It is such a contradiction and struggle.

Dong Qijing’s eyes sparkled and she murmured to herself: “Well, it’s better not to come.”

She still remembered that they had promised each other that if the other party died first, the other party would send a bouquet of flowers to the other party's grave.

 Looking at the sea of ​​fluorescent grass all around, it seemed that it would be good to be buried in this wasteland.

 Calculating the time, the enemy should have discovered their hiding place soon.

Thinking of this, Dong Qi felt that he should take the initiative to end the siege.

 When he died in the battle, he wouldn't have to worry so much, and his old friend wouldn't be in danger.

 Oh. That guy has always liked taking risks and is not afraid of danger at all.

Thinking of something, the corners of Dong Qi's pretty face and mouth, which had been tense for most of half a month, showed a gentle arc for the first time.

 I once thought I was not afraid of death.

　Now I realize that I am still not afraid, but I feel a little pity somewhere.

Dong Qi's mind was in a mess. From time to time he was thinking about battle plans, and from time to time he thought of that guy who always made people feel at ease.

 I don’t know how long it took.

 The breeze blew through the wilderness, blowing waves of grass.

 Two teammates wearing armors were on guard, while the others took the opportunity to rest and resupply.

The nerves that have been tense for more than half a month are still tense, and everyone is very tired, as if the enemy may arrive at any time.

Suddenly, a light spot suddenly flashed on the life-detection instrument, and the "didi" alarm sound instantly alerted everyone.

 “Captain, someone is coming! Twenty kilometers away!”

“Hey, the target disappeared again? It’s strange. Could it be that the instrument is broken? It’s impossible.”

“No, the signal appeared again! So fast, the man was already fifteen kilometers away!”

"Damn it, did that guy use spatial displacement? How could it be so fast?"

 “It can only be the Titan armor.”

“But there is no mechanical signal.”

ˆ “.”

 The God of Hunting Armor carries the most advanced individual life detector in the Eastern Wasteland. It has a wide sensing range and is very sensitive.

 Able to detect life targets within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

 There will be no other living people in this wasteland.

The most powerful beast is a jackal, which is slightly larger than a rabbit. It is impossible to provoke such a large signal response from the reaction instrument.

 It can only be an enemy!

However, the enemies are not scary. What is scary is that the light spots on the screen are like supernatural events. They are not the normal trajectory of life, but flickering, like ghosts.

 The speed is so fast that it is completely beyond what these young mechanics believe humans can achieve.

And, as the distance gets closer, the reality on the instrument becomes clearer and clearer.

It was only then that everyone saw clearly that the "life signal" was not an illusion, and was heading straight towards them.

Before the members of the New World team were fully equipped, they looked at a young man with extraordinary temperament walking out of the fluorescent weeds.

 Are they really human?

 Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Such a long distance, so quickly in front of us?

 What the hell?

The communicator Dong Qi is wearing is the high-end ancient communicator he got from Catalina before.

Even if this thing is not turned on, it has the function of mutual positioning within a certain range.

I spent a whole day wandering in the moss wasteland before finally sensing the signal.

　　He came quickly.

 He was not sure what happened to Dong Qi.

However, it can be speculated that there are not many people in Donghuang who can push Dong Qi, who is wearing the infinite energy hunting **** armor, into a desperate situation.

Either an eighth-level card master or a Titan armor.

However, the Red Dragon Empire's plundering war in the Eastern Wasteland of the Southern Continent is now in full swing, and the Oran Royal Court is also short of manpower.

 Eighth order is unlikely.

 The two of them were obtained by the moon **** Arachne.

 One has been seen before in the ruins of Behemoth Imperial Capital in the Old World, and the other may also be protecting the new king Arthur.

 Maybe not rushed back to the Eastern Wasteland.

Moreover, the Titan Armor is a key target for those in the Southern Continent to ambush. The Red Dragon Royal Family now even uses the title of Marquis to offer a reward.

 All the experts are watching, and the Oran Royal Court does not dare to let them show up on the battlefield easily.

　　It’s perfect to send him to this uninhabited no-man’s land to carry out the mission.

However, even if Ji Xun speculated that the trouble Dong Qi encountered might be related to the Titan armor, he still felt that the danger was great.

 After all, he is one of the few people in the world who has witnessed the terrifying combat power of the Titan armor with his own eyes.

After getting the news from Song Can, he rushed to this wasteland without stopping.

 Then I searched for two days.

 Fortunately, I found it.

Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this group of fully armed hunting **** armors among the dense weeds.

Looking at the leader's armor, which had a special structure and was obviously designed with many special devices, he tacitly felt that this was Dong Qi.

The facts were as expected. Seeing Ji Xun appear, Dong Qi’s face was full of surprise under the mask.

 She looked at the spears and cannons pointed at Ji Xun's teammates and said quickly: "Don't do anything!"

 Then he immediately took off his mask, revealing his pretty face that couldn't hide his joy.

 The two of them looked at each other, feeling relieved.

Ji Xun also sighed slightly, calmed down the restless blood on the road, and muttered to himself: "It's good to be alive."

Immediately, there was only the sound of "click" and "click" as the mechanical joints opened.

Dong Qi took off his armor and came down, then went up to meet him.

 She did not avoid anyone's gaze and gave her old friend a close and warm hug.

 She knew that Ji Xunhui would definitely come.

But when she saw him coming at the most desperate moment, Dong Qijing's eyes sparkled with tears of joy.

She leaned next to Ji Xun's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You shouldn't have come."

Ji Xun hugged Dong Qi's slender waist, and he knew why she said this without asking.

This old friend is afraid that he will also be in danger.

 But dangerous?

 Can't talk about it.

 In today's Eastern Wasteland, there are not many enemies that are truly dangerous to him.

 At least not in the current situation.

Ji Xun had just speculated before, but seeing this group of people, especially the traces on the mecha that could only be left by machinery, he had already deduced all the causes and consequences in his mind.

He listened to Dong Qi's murmur of self-blame, patted her on the back, and just said a faint sigh of relief: "It's okay."

ˆ “.”

With the words "It's okay", Dong Qi's expression suddenly brightened up, as if he had heard the most reassuring words in the world.

　　After half a month of pursuit, my tense mind finally relaxed for a moment.

 As the captain, Dong Qi is the backbone of the team. She has always faced everything with strength.

Any team member can say depressing words and show exhaustion and despair but she can't!

The nerves that were tense all the time made her physically and mentally exhausted at the moment.

However, at this moment, she seemed to feel the inexplicably familiar reliability.

It seems that when this guy comes, he doesn’t even have to think about it, and all the problems are solved.

 However, this is not the time to reminisce about the past. Dong Qi said quickly: "But the enemy is very strong."

 She didn’t know how to start.

Just when she was thinking about how to get to the point quickly, Ji Xun interrupted before she finished speaking: "Is it a Titan mecha? Is it the melee type one?"

 Dong Qigang wanted to tell him about the extremely critical situation at the moment.

 She was stunned for a moment when she heard Ji Xun explain the most critical problem.

 Immediately, he suddenly raised his head from behind his shoulder.

Dong Qi looked at that indifferent face, with crystal clear eyes still shining. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, "How do you know?"

It’s enough to know the Titan armor, how do you still know it’s the melee armor?

"Ah"

Ji Xun smiled but said nothing.

 Nowadays, in the realm of "I am the world", it is difficult for him to have secrets anymore.

 But the deduction was a fleeting thing in his mind.

 It’s difficult to explain.

 Now that I see my old friend alive, I am not in a hurry to talk.

ˆ “.”

 Looking at the familiar indifferent expression, Dong Qi immediately recalled the experiences of several previous adventures together in his mind.

 In an instant, all the worries in her heart disappeared.

 This feeling is back.

 Sure enough, this guy always has a way.

 Dong Qi’s brows finally relaxed completely, and a bright smile of surprise appeared on his face.

However, Dong Qi was not the only one who was surprised.

 The members of the New World Team on the side were all stunned when they looked at the two people hugging each other closely.

This is the same person they know

 The gangster eldest sister, the unruly wanted criminal, the ruthless female killer, the mechanical goddess of war and many other nicknames. Iron-blooded captain, seventh brother?
