Chapter 85
After solving another crisis, they finally crossed the outer layer of the Shattered Belt and entered the interior of the Shattered Belt.
Although it is not the center of the shattered star belt, the gravitational undercurrent here is already very dense. And the power of the undercurrent has also increased dozens of times. If Xiao Yi accidentally stepped into the range of the gravitational undercurrent like he had just now, I am afraid that he would never be able to break free again.
"Right in front of you." Xiao Yi said, "I attract the mother worm to the edge of the gravitational undercurrent, you find a safe place to hide." ā
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, the communicator was quiet for a while, and then a voice came:
"I'll go."
"You're going? What are you going to? ā
Xiao Yi knew that Shang Si would say that.
He wondered, people have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, why does he, a junior, have to sharpen his head and drill into dangerous places?
"Do you know what I'm going to do?" Xiao Yi asked, "Lead the mother worm into the gravitational undercurrent together?" ā
Shangsi: ......
Isn't it?
Xiao Yi laughed angrily: "The female worm is crazy, but it is not stupid, or it was swept up by the gravitational undercurrent as early as the outer layer." I'm just driving the Polaris into the undercurrent, and the mother worm won't follow. ā
Shang Si was embarrassed by Xiao Yi's words. He really didn't know that the mother worm could distinguish gravitational undercurrents. This kind of unpopular knowledge has not been taught in military schools, and it will not be mentioned in the books. Of course, after such a long time in the Shattered Star Belt, Shang Si should have judged this through a large number of phenomena. But today I don't know what's going on, he just didn't expect it.
Aren't you calm? Shang Thought.
Perhaps this situation is more appropriately described in another word.
Concern is chaos.
Xiao Yi ignored the other party's silence, he directly said his plan: "The power of the light particle cannon on board the Polaris is nearly twice as powerful as that of ordinary mechas, and when the gear is fully open, it can impact the female insect out of a certain distance." So I'll fire at the edge of the gravitational undercurrent and push the mother worm into it in one fell swoop. ā
Xiao Yi: "I told you before, I am sure of this plan. Am I the kind of person who despises my own life? ā
Shang Si's face was hot when he was meant to say something.
After Xiao Yi mentioned this, he realized that he did seem to always neglect his own life. But now is not the time to think about that.
Xiao Yi's plan sounds feasible, but in fact there are many hidden dangers.
"I'll go, you support." Shangs made a decision.
Xiao Yi was almost driven crazy by this stubborn junior: "After talking about it for so long, why can't you listen!" The Polaris' light particle cannon is specially made, do you have that standard mech?! You're honest with me! Did you hear me clearly?! ā
Shang Si didn't know this, but he blurted out the decision just now without thinking about it, he just subconsciously wanted to replace the other party to carry out this dangerous task, and even ignored the feasibility.
The communicator was silent again.
Xiao Yi could imagine the tense face of the young man on the other end. This young man didn't know what environment he grew up in, but he actually developed such a character. It is said that the face is born from the heart, why didn't the same cold and hard heart grow under that cold and hard face? !
His junior just can't see anyone sacrificed, and his heart is a soft mess under the appearance like an ice cube. This made Xiao Yi almost lose his head. It's not bad to cherish other people's lives, but at a critical moment, emotionally something will go wrong sooner or later!
He corrected him several times, but his junior was unexpectedly stubborn, and he just didn't correct him. If he can go back alive this time, he must have to find a way, he has to break it for him!
But it's useless to think about all this now, Xiao Yi knows that the people in the mecha now must be in chaos in their hearts.
Thinking of this, his heart softened.
Xiao Yi: "You don't have to worry. ā
Shang Si was silent.
Xiao Yi: "I'll be back, I promise." ā
Shangsi: ......
"Okay."
ā¦ā¦
Sans piloted the mecha and drove away from the Polaris. But not too far away.
Xiao Yi looked at the radar and sighed helplessly.
In any case, he, the junior, was evacuated to a safe position, even if it was only a minimum safe place.
After Shang Si left, the pressure on Xiao Yi's side increased sharply. All of the female worm's attacks were directed towards the Polaris, and Xiao Yi didn't have time to argue with Shang Si about the location anymore.
After choosing the right time, Xiao Yi finally guided the mother worm to the best position. The Polaris' Light Particle Cannon is turned to its maximum and begins to charge.
The muzzle of the cannon flashed with a dazzling white light, and a brilliant beam of light flew straight towards the female insect on the opposite side. In the eyes of the mother, the flea-like mecha can't really hurt it, so it doesn't take such attacks seriously. Without a single dodge, the she-worm's tentacles continued to attack the Polaris.
However, to the mother's surprise, the beam did not hurt it, but it had a powerful impact, knocking it far away. When it stopped, it found that it was trapped by a strong gravitational pull!
Seeing that the female worm had been hit into the gravitational undercurrent, Shang Si let out a long sigh of relief inside the mecha. The whole process went smoothly and the Polaris was not damaged at all.
"Look, let's just say that with my ability, how can I not be able to deal with a small Zerg?!"
Xiao Yi's voice came from the communicator. The voice seemed very relaxed, as if there was really nothing difficult about it.
But contrary to the emotion expressed by the voice, Xiao Yi sat in the North Star, the fingers of his hands trembling slightly. Just now it has to dodge the attack of the mother worm and maintain the Polaris on the edge of the gravitational undercurrent, and the Polaris has to make countless moves in just a few tens of seconds. These actions can only be completed by Xiao Yi's temporary input instructions.
Shang Si didn't care about Xiao Yi's bluff, he piloted the mecha to the Polaris when the mother worm was caught in the gravitational undercurrent.
Xiao Yi has just carried out so many operations, even if he is a top driver, it is estimated that he will not be able to input a command now. In such a dangerous place, Shangsi needed to tow the Polaris.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The gravitational undercurrent suddenly changed direction, and the dying and struggling female worm rushed in the direction of Xiao Yi under the influence of the undercurrent.
This change happened too quickly, although Xiao Yi did not enter the range of the gravitational undercurrent, but the Polaris was on the edge of the undercurrent. Even if the gravitational undercurrent didn't suddenly expand its range and engulf Xiao Yi in, the mother worm approached the Polaris in just a few seconds.
The mother's staggeringly long tentacles struck the Polaris, which made a dodging move at the critical moment, but this action was a beat slower!
The Polaris was instantly engulfed by numerous tentacles and dragged towards the gravitational undercurrent!
At this critical moment, the mecha piloted by Shang Si dragged the Polaris' right arm.
The warning lights in the mecha cab where Shang Si was flickered wildly, and the alarm sounded even more harshly.
"Gravitational anomaly! Gravitational anomaly! Please drive out of the area quickly! ā
"The arms of the mecha are damaged, and the damage is 10 percent, 15 percent, 20 percent......"
"Mecha engine output increased! Please prevent overheating! ā
Shang Si didn't seem to hear the warnings, nor did he see the flashing warning lights. He is also increasing the output of mecha engines. In this way, coupled with the momentum of the Polaris, the situation was finally maintained.
But at this moment, Xiao Yi's voice suddenly came from the communicator.
"Although I am very touched that you came to save me, I still give up if you build yƬ."
Shang Si: "Impossible. ā
He kept typing in his hands.
"Senior, you said you wouldn't despise your life!"
Xiao Yi: "Hey, you're too careful, I just said that, and you remember it now!" ā
Xiao Yi: "Besides, how can I despise my own life, I'm really hopeless, what do you say is going to catch you again?" ā
Shang Si: "Save! ā
Xiao Yi: "It's not saved!" ā
Shang Si no longer retorted, ignoring the mech's warning that it had been upgraded to red, and continued to increase the engine output.
Xiao Yi sighed and said a cruel truth.
"Don't waste your efforts, the Polaris will run out of energy in one minute."
Shang Si paused for a moment to enter the command, and then continued to type.
Xiao Yi: "Don't be emotional!" You have to know what you have to do! ā
Shang Si's movements remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Xiao Yi: "Don't pretend that the communication is out of order!" I know you can hear me! ā
Xiao Yi: "I said can you have some talent!" I used to think that although you were a little emotional, you still knew what was a necessary sacrifice and what was an unnecessary sacrifice! But how can you make a mistake when it comes to the critical moment! What do you say you're doing now?! ā
Shang Si's hand shook.
Shang Si: "I can't ......"
Xiao Yi: "There's nothing you can't do, I've seen a lot of life and death on the battlefield!" You've been through a few battles, it's time to mature! ā
Xiao Yi: "Don't let me down. ā
Shangsi: ......
Shang Si slowly stopped the operation.
Xiao Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, that's right." ā
Xiao Yi: "I'll take a look, there are thirty seconds left, and I can still leave two sentences." You'll have to memorize it carefully. ā
Xiao Yi: "I don't have any hobbies, only desserts and cigarettes to live up to." When my cemetery is built, don't forget to bring me some, cigarettes don't matter, desserts and chocolates are the best. Oh, no dark chocolate! The sweeter the better, and don't fool me with the broken one you bought last time! ā
Xiao Yi: "Also, you are still young, but there are some things you should understand. War has always been brutal, and you have to keep that in mind and don't make the mistakes you make today. ā
Xiao Yi: "There are ...... Well...... I actually ......"
The energy ran out, and the engines of the Polaris went out.
The pull force increased suddenly, and Shang Si alone could not compete with it. In an instant, both mechs were dragged away for a long distance.
Xiao Yi's voice paused, and then came from the communicator, but he didn't continue what he had just said.
"Forget it, it seems that there is not enough time......" Xiao Yi said.
"Goodbye then......"
His voice was a little regretful, but more determined than that.
Shang Si's eyes flashed with struggle, but he still operated the mech and slowly let go of the Polaris.
Such a moment seemed to turn into slow motion in his eyes.
The Polaris, whose engine had been extinguished, floated silently, like a fallen leaf, into the dark universe before his eyes.
He stared at it intently. Perhaps, he thought, he would never see it and the man above him again in his lifetime.
Not even, not a single fragment will be found.
"Goodbye ......"
When the communicator was still connected, Shang Si said softly.
The word encompasses the hope of seeing each other again. So with it to say goodbye, will they meet again in the vast universe......
