Chapter 626: Peace of Mind (4)
The main ship of the spaceship obtained their mecha information. Rong Lingyu used his mental power to quickly scan the data scrolling on the screen in front of him and confirmed that it was correct.
"Start the mecha and get ready to go."
"Roger that!"
The hatch opened, and Sui Zhao's group walked to the mecha starting area, started the mecha and went in, flying into the air.
After all the students were neatly lined up outside in their mechas, the real-time images were transmitted to the central console, and Rong Lingyu said, "The mission has begun. Do not leave the safe area on the map, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
The students all went to look for strange beasts, and Rong Lingyu sat in the cockpit to check the surveillance of the T399 star.
The students' mission area is a developed area with surveillance, but not anywhere else. A military team is also stationed in the developed area to deal with emergencies.
It was not a difficult task for three people to kill 3 strange beasts in six hours. Sui Zhao flew around in the air in a mecha, using a detector to search for the traces of the strange beasts.
Three red exclamation marks appeared on the mecha's operating display screen, and the laser cannon was set up, aimed and fired.
〖Locked!〗
[Hit the target!]
〖Group task completion progress: 9/50
Remaining time: 5 hours and 47 minutes〗
The mission was proceeding in an orderly manner. Rong Lingyu, who was on the spacecraft, received a communication request from the military team stationed on Planet T399, and she answered the call.
The team leader looked serious. "Hello, Professor Rong. The energy detector indicates that a large group of alien beasts are approaching. The number is over a thousand. Do the students you are leading need to evacuate?"
The alarm inside the spacecraft also sounded. Rong Lingyu glanced at the red light on the monitoring screen and replied, "No, this is a good opportunity to exercise."
"Understood. The garrison team will escort you and your students."
Rong Lingyu modified the task and sent it to their intelligent brain.
Rong Lingyu's calm voice rang out in the headphones of all the students: "The mission has changed. The alien beasts are about to attack. The strongest ones are at the intermediate level. Credits will be exchanged at a ratio of 100:1."
The students’ eyes lit up when they heard this. Killing 100 alien beasts would give them 1 full credit!
Credits, here they come!!
"Check your own condition. If you feel unwell, immediately withdraw to the spacecraft. You will be given 3 seconds to conduct a self-check of your mental and physical condition. Once you are sure there are no problems, the mission will begin."
A countdown began to appear on the students' brains.
Sui Zhao tapped the edge of the metal shell of the mecha control screen with his finger, and said to Zhao Li through the group communication constructed by the intelligent brain: "Brother, how about we compete?"
"Okay." Zhaoli's clear and gentle voice came from the communication.
Lu Weishi lowered his eyes and looked at the dense red dots that were getting closer and closer on the mecha control screen, and silently adjusted the laser cannon and lightsaber.
Rong Lingyu on the spaceship said: "Frigate, ensure their safety."
"Understood, sir!" The frigate hidden outside the T399 star approached quickly.
The countdown ended, and thirty mechas moved forward in unison, flying towards the alien beast that was about to enter the atmosphere of the T399 star. As the laser cannon fired, the lightsaber was activated and held in the hands of the mechas.
The laser cannon blasted the alien beast into pieces, and the lightsaber cut the alien beast in half. The alien beast eventually became garbage floating in the universe.
Sui Zhao controlled the mecha to destroy the strange beast. Seeing that the mecha next to him was much more agile than theirs, he shifted his gaze to look at Lu Weishi's perspective on the control screen.
She thought to herself that he was indeed someone who grew up on the battlefield.
Ten minutes later, a conspicuous red warning popped up on the spaceship's main screen: "Attention! A large number of high-level monsters are approaching!"
Rong Lingyu frowned, and the students' expressions also became much more serious.
The captain of the military squad stationed on the T399 star and the captain of the frigate fleet sent communication requests at the same time. Rong Lingyu agreed, and a three-party communication platform was quickly established.
Fleet Captain: "Sir, we have received information from the First Legion that the alien beasts have broken through the alliance's eastern defenses. We need to evacuate immediately."
Team leader: “Agreed.”
The spiritual power sensed through the extension of the amplifying instrument, and Rong Ling's fingertips touched the inconspicuous transformation touch button on his waist, "It's too late, the alien beasts have surrounded the T399 star, we are blocked."
"Let's fight and wait for the First Legion's cruiser to arrive."
"Yes!"
Rong Lingyu activated his mecha and flew out of the spaceship, with a lightsaber flashing in his hand.
As Sui Zhao was destroying the strange beast, he said, "It's very strange. How could the strange beast get through the defense?"
"The leader of the alien beasts has mutated. It has opened its defenses and used its mental power to trap the soldiers stationed in the defensive city in the mental illusion it has woven." Lu Weishi's cold voice came.
"How do you know?" Sui Zhao asked.
"This is a guess based on the information the First Legion has obtained." Lu Weishi stepped back, "I will withdraw from the battlefield. Be careful."
The defects in his sea of spirit will be amplified once they encounter the mental power fluctuations of high-level alien beasts, and once he loses control, he will not be able to distinguish between friend and foe.
Sui Zhao was surprised for half a second when he heard this, but soon understood why he retreated.
A black shadow quickly pounced over, and in a flash, its sharp semi-metal claws tore through one of the mechas, and its mental power disturbed the mental sea of the student in the mecha. The connection between the mechas was broken, and they began to fall.
Seeing this, Lu Weishi, who was closest to the mecha, accelerated and flew towards the mecha. His mecha grabbed the arm of the fallen mecha and carried him backwards.
Sui Zhao and Zhao Li flew forward and blocked the black shadow that wanted to continue the attack.
That was the leader of the strange beasts. When it failed to hit them with one blow, it roared angrily. The sound was wrapped in violent mental power, impacting everyone's spiritual sea.
Lu Weishi's spiritual sea began to become restless, and the restlessness broke through his rationality.
He maintained the last bit of his sanity, put the mecha in his hand on the ground, kicked off the ground suddenly, and attacked indiscriminately with his mental power.
The mecha he was driving was controlled by frenzied mental power, and its flying speed suddenly increased. The light of the lightsaber exploded, and it was extremely dazzling even in the daytime.
Lu Weishi's mental power spread outward, competing with the mental power of the alien beast leader, and an invisible battle took place in the air.
Sui Zhaohe Zhaoli dodged the attacks of the alien beast leader and other alien beasts, but was suddenly stabbed in the back. The mecha fell uncontrollably for two seconds before returning to normal.
The mechas of the rest of the people were forced to activate the emergency protection mechanism.
Within 500 meters around Lu Weishi, no mecha or strange beast could get close.
"Lu Weishi, what's wrong with you?" The communication band was crackling, but the other party's heavy breathing could still be heard, and Sui Zhao's voice was filled with worry.
Zhao Li's expression also tensed.
Lu Weishi's eyes turned red, and he gripped the armrests of the seat in the mecha operating cabin with such force that the armrests were about to be deformed.
His mind was in turmoil, and he tried his best to suppress himself from losing control. He panted rapidly and said simply, "Stay away from me."
The leader of the strange beasts was attacked by Lu Weishi's mental power, and its huge body shook, but it quickly approached again nimbly.
Lu Weishi was on the verge of losing control. His reason was unable to pull back his mental power that had gone astray. Now the only thing on his mind was fighting. If he rushed forward, he would run into the muzzle of a gun.
The confrontation between the two sides brought about waves of powerful aftermath, and the strength that the mecha could withstand was approaching the threshold.
Sui Zhao and others could only retreat temporarily.
