CHAPTER 512: CHAPTER 282: MIST CROWN CLOAK (10,000-CHARACTER BOMB!) (PART 2)

"Captain Lin, Group Leader Yu, we’re almost there."

At this moment, Sun Kai shouted to the others through the communicator, and the soldiers of the protector squad were all armed and ready.

Lin Xian glanced at the time, 7:20; there were still more than 5 hours until dawn, but there would be less than 4 hours between dawn and dusk.

The spread of Star Abyss No.3 and its convergence with Star Abyss No.5 meant that night fell much faster than when Lin Xian had escaped from Jiang City. To avoid being trapped between the polar nights of the two Star Abysses, they only had this last day and night to leave Xilan City at the first dawn of September and immediately enter the tide of Star Abyss No.5, heading towards the now deserted Quan City.

Deep in Trakama Ice Valley, at the edge of a cliff that once served as a defensive line, several large camp tents had been crushed and half-buried in the snowdrifts by the blizzard. The previously battled area was completely covered, leaving only piles of Snow Demon corpses stacked several meters high, forming a bizarre snowy mound.

The transport plane and six aerospace fighters slowly landed on the empty space of the former campsite, the landing gear of the flying device sinking into the snow layer. As soon as the hatch opened, they were greeted by the howling cold wind and blinding blizzard of the valley.

"Quick, we don’t have much time, raise the tents again, the technical team needs time to redeploy the No.1 Machine system!"

Yu Yuheng, braving the fierce wind, led dozens of people from the protector and technical teams to start unloading equipment from the transport ship. Sun Kai and Jingtian quickly set up surveillance facilities around the camp and dispatched several squads for reconnaissance further out.

"Check the directions at 2 o’clock, 4 o’clock, 11 o’clock, and down the valley!"

"Raise the camp tents!"

"The mecha team, lift the generator first, take care to protect the telepathic interface pod, that will be the last to transfer."

Woo woo woo~

Lin Xian donned the Mist Crown Cloak and, together with Chen Wei, disembarked from the transport ship. The sight before them was a raging snowstorm, their steps sinking into snow nearly waist-deep. Lin Xian walked past the belly of the transport plane, looking towards the cliff.

The camp floodlights were already on, and even with the blizzard obscuring his vision at close range, Lin Xian immediately spotted the towering silhouette standing at the edge of the cliff, resting a single fist on the ground, silently asleep.

Without a word, Lin Xian began to move, trudging through the snow layers and arriving at the right arm of the No.1 Machine, then he climbed up along the arm.

Wuu wuu wuu~

The broken opening of the nano ceramic plate viewport in the head cabin emitted a mournful wail. A crack that could almost tear half of the mecha head cabin’s armor was terrifying; the armor strength of this thing was significantly greater than that of the Infinity, yet it had suffered such severe damage. One could only imagine the level and intensity of the abnormal body they were facing.

Ka~

Lin Xian broke off an icicle formed from leaked golden antifreeze, and crawled into the neuro-interactive cockpit through the gap. Dangling broken cables hung from the ceiling, one of the two neural co-sensing devices had its casing twisted and deformed, and a jet-like splatter of blood stained almost half of the cockpit, while the air was filled with the pungent smell of some chemical liquid.

Lin Xian frowned upon seeing this, his mind naturally conjured up the image of a vicious claw tearing through the No.1 Machine’s head cabin, shredding Chen Lie inside, with blood spurting amidst the heated battle—one could imagine how fierce it was.

"Are you planning to use your superpower here?"

Chen Wei suddenly appeared at the damaged opening, speaking to Lin Xian.

Lin Xian turned to look at him, nodded, and said, "If you don’t mind, I’d like to seal this opening first, it’s too cold in here otherwise."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei stepped inside and pointed to the neural co-sensing device control station on the right: "My brother and I had just taken care of that big bug at the time, but we didn’t expect a second one, the left arm was nearly torn off."

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Lin Xian quickly manufactured a metal plate to cover the crack, significantly reducing the howling cold wind.

Seeing this move from Lin Xian, Chen Wei was amazed: "Superpower is indeed miraculous, but you’re not planning to fix it with an iron sheet, are you?"

"No, just a temporary measure."

With that, Lin Xian found a corner to sit down and prepared to run the Mechanical Heart for scanning and repair.

"Hey."

At this point, Chen Wei suddenly looked at him, his gaze complex, and said: "Thank you for finding my brother’s stuff, and also, thank you for supporting my plan in the combat meeting."

Lin Xian was slightly taken aback, then smiled: "It’s nothing, your plan is excellent, this mecha might just be our key to breaking the situation."

Chen Wei took a deep breath: "Of course, to face an S-Class abnormal body, nothing is more suitable than this. Trust me, if you can really fix it, you’ll truly witness its power."

Lin Xian nodded, showing a hint of anticipation, then composed himself, and immediately began running the Mechanical Heart for scanning.

In an instant, he frowned heavily. Even though he was mentally prepared, the scanning power of the Mechanical Heart hadn’t extended into the head cabin yet, and Lin Xian already felt an immense and heavy pressure.

’Fortunately, it’s only the cockpit and left arm, along with some drive structures, looks like it’s a partial repair...’

Lin Xian thought to himself.

Woo~

At this time, the backup power system in the cockpit started up, and some lights on the holographic vision panel lit up. Lin Xian glanced at it, seeing that Yu Yuheng and the technical personnel below had reconnected the subsystems of the No.1 Machine and started re-inspection work.
