CHAPTER XIV

Chen Yan didn't quite understand why Colonel Lance brought up this topic. For a period of time after the first generation of mechs was developed, the senior management of Ashur was very keen on updating weapons. But as time passed, the passion slowly wore out. For a long time recently, mechas, as one of the most powerful weapons of mankind, have not received the attention it deserves.

She knew this very well, but she couldn't say it at will. After all, she's just a small technician.

Chen Yan asked, "Are you asking me?"

Colonel Lance walked forward slowly, standing between the mech and the behemoth, out of place with the frozen battle, and his back looked a little lonely.

"Tell me what you really think".

Chen Yan had discussed this with Lily for a long time. The conclusion is that the Behemoths are constantly evolving and their IQs are growing, while the weapons of the Mechs are still stuck in the previous generation, becoming more and more passive in battle.

Duels, which were supposed to be won by weapons, began to require more agency on the part of the operator, and the scene became passive and laborious. But Asher's higher-ups didn't care about that, they were in a safe corner of the dungeon.

And now among their enemies, there are the sudden rise of brain-controlled invaders.

"If it goes on like this", Chen Yan lowered his head and said, "I will die soon." As soon as these words came out, the air fell silent. Colonel Lance didn't speak, and neither did Chen Yan.

Liangchen seemed to sense something, and slowly walked into the hologram, standing next to its owner and sniffing, a whining sound coming out of his throat.

"I hope this incident can give those people a wake-up call", after a long time, Colonel Lance said slowly, "The dungeon will disappear one day." ”

Chen Yan knew who his "people" were referring to, but it wasn't something she could casually put her beak in. The quiet atmosphere was shattered by the arrival of Meina.

Wearing a training uniform and sweating profusely, she walked directly into Colonel Lance's lounge, and excitedly hooked Chen Yan's shoulders directly, "I heard that the boss said that you are in trouble again, how are you, are you okay?"

The silence in the room was shattered at once. Chen Yan smiled: "Look, isn't it okay for me?"

With a wave of his hand, Colonel Lance turned off the hologram, and the room returned to its original state. It's just that he still stands in place, as if the mecha and the behemoth have not disappeared.

Chen Yan was worried about Yaen's situation, and asked stubbornly: "Colonel Lance, Yahn, he ......" The air in the room seemed to drop a few degrees suddenly.

"If, after investigation, it turns out that this matter really has nothing to do with him, he will be fine", Colonel Lance waved his hand, signaling that they could go.

Until she went out, Chen Yan felt strange, Colonel Lance told her to come over as soon as she woke up, could it be that he was asking her, how long could Asher still exist?

Mei Na knew that Chen Yan was here for the first time, and insisted on taking her to visit it. Along the way, he introduced with great interest, and when he walked to the training room, he said mysteriously: "There is a mecha fighting match tonight, and the leader is going to participate." Why don't you come and take a look?"

Chen Yan wanted to refuse, she was not interested in these competitions. When the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered the silver mecha of that day, swallowed the words of refusal, and suddenly wanted to watch it again. She nodded and said, "Okay."

"That's great, I'll call you then". There is a special vitality in this blonde female special soldier, Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh, looking forward to it.

Since that hapless on-site visit, getting to know Mina has been the best experience she's ever had.

In the evening of the city of Ashur, the artificial sunset reflected the sky outside the window. Training Room 001 on the ground floor is brightly lit.

The training rooms of the special mission forces are divided into three levels, and the training rooms with zero prefix are dedicated to mechas, a total of five. Among them, the training room of No. 001 is the best equipped, and the mechs used in general are also top-notch, such as the mecha fighting match in which Colonel Lance participated.

At this moment, the stands in training room 001 were crowded with people, most of whom were special forces. Mei Na opened the way in front, and the whole way was almost a rampage, Chen Yan looked embarrassed and followed closely behind her.

When I reached the highest stand, I heard Adolf's loud voice from a distance: "This way!"

Chen Yan only looked at Mei Na's back, and from time to time someone squeezed into the middle of them, Chen Yan almost lost it several times, and he didn't dare to get distracted at all.

Breaking through the crowd and crowding around Adolf, Chen Yan found that there was the best perspective here, so there were a lot of people here.

The crowd was buzzing, and Adolf's big voice was particularly dominant here.

The training space is a space with a height of 300 meters, which can accommodate the fighting mechs to perform regular combat moves.

The silver mech never moves superfluously and is crisp and neat, on the contrary, the black mecha with a dull surface is dazzling and extremely inconsistent with the low-key appearance.

The sound of metal colliding in the training ground was deafening. There were cheers everywhere, and the people behind squeezed forward with all their strength in order to be able to see clearly.

Thanks to the blessing of the two special forces, Chen Yan stood in the first row of the stands. The battle became more and more intense, and I don't know who was behind, so in order to be able to see the audience clearly, I pushed Chen Yan.

Chen Yan had already leaned half of his body out of the stands. When he was pushed, he immediately lost his center of gravity and fell out.

The training room of the special mission forces has always been used by special forces. There was no rule that no one else was allowed to come in, but the Academy of Sciences had always looked at each other unpleasantly, and it was impossible for them to come here. Even fewer of the others.

So the protective measures in the stands are very rough, because no special forces will accidentally fall. But Chen Yan is obviously an exception.

Mei Na only felt that someone had fallen from the corner of her eye, and in a hurry, she reached out and grabbed it, only touching a corner of her clothes. Only then did I see that it was Chen Yan who fell.

Adolf apparently saw it too, and shouted, "Oh no, the rookie has fallen!"

Colonel Lance, who was fighting below, suddenly heard Adolf shouting Chen Yan's name, and happened to see the monitor in the operation cabin, Chen Yan falling from the edge of the stand.

At this time, the black mecha suddenly lowered its center of gravity and swept its legs.

The silver mecha ran in a few steps, bounced to avoid the opponent's attack, stretched out his right hand, and copied Chen Yan in his hand from behind her back.

"Boss, don't pinch the rookie to death!" Adolf shouted anxiously when he saw Chen Yan disappear into the palm of the mecha in an instant.

Mina raised her hand and tapped him on the back of the head, "You still need to say it!"

Chen Yan only felt a sense of weightlessness coming, and just realized that he had fallen, and then he was surrounded by hard metal. His body was in pain, and it was dark in front of him, with only a few glimmers of light penetrating through the cracks.

She reached out and touched around, it was cold, and her body was still moving, up and down, left and right...... It seems to have been caught by Colonel Reims. She clenched her fist and tapped on the metal wall next to her, signaling for herself to be lowered first.

But Colonel Reims could not find a chance to let her go for a while.

The black mecha obviously also saw the scene where Chen Yan fell from the stands and was caught. But it had no intention of pausing the fight because of this episode. On the contrary, because Lance's mecha was holding Chen Yan in his right hand, his movements were restricted, and he only attacked the right half of the opponent.

The silver mecha became very passive for a while, dodging again and again. The people in the control room are okay, it is the center of gravity of the mech, and it will not feel too uncomfortable when the mech makes movements. But Chen Yan, who was at the end of the mecha's arm, would have a feeling of falling from a high altitude with every even small movement of the mecha.

Mei Na stabbed Adolf, "Chen Yan doesn't know if he can stand it or not, when will this game end?"

Adolf shook his head: "Unless one side falls, it seems to be a lot of trouble now." ”

Suddenly, Colonel Lance's mech began to use both hands to punch, abandoning other methods of attack and only using primitive boxing. Mei Na was dumbfounded: "Oh my God, Chen Yan is still there......" She couldn't imagine what state Chen Yan would be in when he landed.

The special forces in the stands were stunned for a moment, and then burst into thunderous cheers. This method requires a high level of physical fitness and experience from the operator, as the mech is equipped with a variety of weapons, and very few operators can calm down and master the ancient methods of boxing.

The black mecha obviously didn't expect the other party to be able to put aside his scruples about Chen Yan, and he was quickly defeated in this kind of one-on-one move.

The game is finally over. Mei Na pulled Adolf and jumped into the stands, she was very worried about Chen Yan.

The other special forces followed. They were also curious whether this unlucky boy would cry profusely or faint after the shock he had just experienced.

The silver mech slowly opened its fingers with the palm of its right hand facing up. In the open palm, Chen Yan closed his eyes and sat there quietly with his knees hugged, neither crying nor fainting.

The special forces below were in a commotion, looking at it with their heads probed, but they all fell silent when they saw this scene. In the training room, which had been noisy just now, there was strangely no sound.

Mina opened her mouth, but finally said nothing. She stretched out her hand and jumped up to check on Chen Yan's condition. The boots of the special forces walk on the metal palms of the mecha, making a "click", "click" sound.

This voice alarmed Chen Yan, she moved, opened her eyes, and looked at Mei Na, "Thank God, pull me." At such a high distance, I'm afraid I won't be able to jump. ”

Adolf held Chen Yan's knee and helped her step on the ground. I don't know who it was, whistled. Immediately after the whistle sounded, Mena smiled and said to her, "Whistle to show their appreciation for you." ”

Chen Yan blinked. She really didn't expect that just like this, she would be able to be appreciated by these special forces. In fact, her legs are still a little weak now, and just in the palm of the mecha's hand, it feels like a ball rolling around.

In order to make room for Chen Yan, Colonel Lance kept his right hand into a fist. In the limited space, she had to reduce the collision and save her physical strength, and in just a few minutes, it seemed like several hours, and she felt that she almost collapsed.

The operator of the black mech also came out of the mech and walked up to her. Chen Yan found out that it was an acquaintance - Major Xia Zuo!
