The bombing stopped, the abandoned underground base was in a mess, the collapsed gravel blocked countless roads, the already intricate terrain became more complicated, and the sound of kerala falling from the gravel was heard from time to time in the darkness.
The bottom of the base is filled with smoke and dust, and the large pieces of gravel and broken metal plates that have fallen are piled up into a hill, burying Nile very tightly.
Suddenly, there was a sound in the darkness, like a sticky liquid flowing.
Huhu
At the bottom of the pile of debris, an area of about two meters in diameter gradually lit up with red light, which became brighter and brighter. Metal and rocks melted one after another, revealing a hollow.
Nilo, hunched over his waist, limped out of the cave, his hands constantly casting hot melt rays from a distance, and the high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort.
"cough cough..."
The muffled cough sounded in the mecha mask, Nilo gasped for a while, and cheered up the mecha for a health check.
"The left leg bone is slightly dislocated. Is it possible to allow the mecha structure to change on its own to correct it?"
"Yes."
The armor of the left leg tightened a little bit to correct the dislocated leg bone, Nilo groaned, and then relaxed. Just now, I don't know how many tons of debris were all smashed on him. There was no problem with the mecha, but the shock caused him to be slightly injured. After all, he was just a fragile mechanic.
The radar showed that the enemy was above his head, and there was no time to rest now. Nilo forced himself to calm down and hurriedly opened the communication channel to contact his teammates.
"Captain, I'm Nilo, where are you and how is the situation?"
There was a messy voice in the channel, and there were intermittent screams. Nilo called for a while before receiving the public news of the team.
"The situation here is not good!" The tactical screen inside the mecha mask popped up a teammate's face, with a lot of scratches and bruises on his face, and his voice was hurried, "I was by the captain's side, and the captain was killed by a team when the base collapsed just now. No matter who heard the news, save people immediately, bring everyone over to gather, we must break out immediately.”
Nilo immediately turned on the team's health supervision and was shocked when he saw the red screen full of them.
Everyone's injuries were heavier than him, and several people, including the captain, were in critical condition... Because he fell into the bottom of the base and was buried, he just avoided the subsequent bombardment by naval guns and was the least injured.
Don't even think about it, the lucky halo above your head is shining brightly.
"Only I am in the most complete state..." Nilo suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders increased greatly and the pressure was enormous.
He gritted his teeth and immediately turned on the teammate's positioning. The position of each teammate was marked on the tactical screen. The mecha was running intelligently at high speed and quickly planned the fastest rescue route.
The back thruster sprayed tail flames, and Nilo flew out of the big pit at the bottom of the base, and rescued the scattered team members everywhere.
The terrain was intricate, but he didn't have time to take a detour. He continued to shoot hot melt cannons from his palm, melting through all the obstacles in front of him. He rescued a teammate before the Kunde ground troops arrived, and finally converged at the captain's position.
Blowing up the metal plate blocking the way, Nilo flew into this messy room and landed with a clang. He saw the captain and the rest of the team staying here, everyone injured.
The captain was sitting slumped on the ground, his upper body leaning against the wall, his armor was charred black, revealing large holes, he looked up with difficulty, squeezed a smile, and said weakly:
"Nilo, you're here, you've done... ahem, you've done a good job."
"Captain, stop talking."
Seeing this, Nilo's five fingers were slightly bent, and a short injection needle popped out of his fingertips, like a claw, inserted into the captain's chest.
Aurora's special life medicine was injected into the captain's body along the needle, and his serious injury was cured in an instant.
The captain's condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. He let out a comfortable cry, full of anger, and said, "This is the special life potion of Your Excellency Aurora? It's really a good thing."
Aurora occasionally uses her own abilities to produce life potions, but the output is limited after all, and the life energy injected into the potions has a shelf life, so not every Black Star Warrior will be equipped. Most people use only normal healing agents, while Ennis Luo's family is naturally equipped with Aurora Pharmacy.
"All those who are seriously injured are here, and there are still some medicines. I will help you restore your combat effectiveness." Nilo said loudly.
Someone couldn't help but say, "You keep some for yourself, there will be a bloody battle later, what if you are injured."
"It's okay, I have other medicines." Nilo didn't care.
Everyone looked at each other and shrugged. It's not bad to have a local tyrant in the team. The thighs are here, no hugs.
Nilo healed the injuries for his teammates one by one. During this process, everyone urgently discussed tactics.
The captain said in a serious tone, "Everyone, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. We have fallen into a trap. The entire fleet has been attacked by the enemy. There are three Kunde warships, we have no vehicles, it is very dangerous…”
"If the enemy continued to bombard the fleet, it would be a desperate situation for us, but the enemy stopped attacking and instead sent ground troops to approach us." The deputy captain's eyes flashed, "This shows that the enemy may have the intention of capturing alive, and it may be our only chance of escape.”
"That's right!" The captain nodded heavily, "If you want to escape, you must gain air supremacy. There is no way for the fleet to meet us. We can only grab a spaceship ourselves. The chances are slim, but at least there is hope.
This ruin is our barrier. If we rush out, the enemy ships can bomb us with impunity. We can only wait for the enemy soldiers to enter the underground base to exchange fire with us. In order to prevent accidental injuries, the enemy ships will not open fire at will, so we must. The troops are divided into two groups, one team is dealing with the enemy soldiers in this ruins, and the other team is going to grab the spaceship…”
Having said this, the captain paused, and everyone looked at each other.
This is an important task that concerns all life and death. Maybe there is only one chance. It is extremely dangerous.
So the question is, who should grab the spaceship? It stands to reason that the strongest person should be allowed to perform this task, and the strongest person in the team is Nero, who has a deep background.
Asking an immature young man with a big background to take such a heavy responsibility and risk his life to act... Everyone was a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Nilo on the side also realized it, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and volunteered:
"I'll go, there's no one better here than me."
The captain glanced at him, didn't pretend to shirk, nodded slowly, and said in a serious and serious tone, "Okay, it's up to you, we will deal with the enemy and provide you with time... Remember, the lives and deaths of all of us are all on the line. in your hands."
"… Understood."
Nilo took a deep breath, calmed down his heavy heart, and controlled the mecha into a high-level stealth mode. Finally, he took a deep look at everyone, and then separated from everyone and disappeared into the darkness.
The captain exhaled and looked at everyone, his eyes became stern, "What should I do, I don't need to stress, no matter what, drag the enemy here for me."
"We understand." The deputy captain nodded with complicated eyes.
Except for Nilo, everyone at the scene knew the subtext of the captain. In fact, these were two sets of battle plans. They dragged the enemy and let Nilo grab the spaceship, which was just the first plan.
And when this plan fails, they will not hesitate to implement a hidden backup plan... that is, after changing from procrastination to a deadly fight, let Nello, who knows nothing, leave them behind and run away alone.
Not only because of Nilo's relationship with the legion commander, but also because they know that the future achievements of this young man must be far beyond their imagination, and only by letting a young man with great potential escape can they avenge them.
…
After sneaking in the dark for a while, the communication channel finally heard the news of the encounter between the teammates and the Kunde soldiers.
At this time, Nilo was not on the battlefield. He came to a collapsed hole leading to the ground, hid his figure, and used the radar to lock the spaceship closest to him in the air.
Nilo's palms were full of sweat, and he carefully released a distinctive floating guard. The color was black and gold, and the texture was completely different from that of all Nilo's other equipment. It showed an unparalleled sense of luxury. Circling over Nilo's head.
"It's up to you, brother." Nilo touched the floating guard, sure.
"Don't worry, boy, with your big brother and me, no one can hurt you." The floating guard said suddenly.
This is Nello's last trump card. This floating guard is the gift that Han Xiao gave him when he first met him.
A high-level orange-equipped machine built by Transcendent A Grade, driven by dark energy, with the addition of [Emperor's Gift] and [Mechanical Fusion · Endowment]. After Han Xiao obtained the mechanical life fire, he transformed it into a mechanical life, with Independent consciousness and self-growth, self-proclaimed "Guardian of the Sky".
When Nero was a child, Sky Guards without Mechanical Force bonuses could deal with C Grade power users.
Now that Nilo has become a C+ power user, and he also has a perfect sense of tool, the power that the Tianguard can burst out is obvious, even if Nilo is not weak in the actual combat standard of B-level.
Most of the time, Nilo would not use this trump card, especially in the daily competition in the academy. Even if the fighting martial artist bumped into his face and beat him to the point of bruising his nose and face, he never sacrificed this big card. Killer.
His true fighting power, even Mia, who has the best relationship, doesn't know anything.
In the academy, Mia and him had countless daily discussions, but in fact, Mia never knew how strong he was going all out.
Looking at the target marked by the radar, Nilo took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and let his body gradually boil.
"Huh, I can do it..."
With a certain mind, Nilo didn't hesitate any longer, started the propeller, and the tail flame burst out.
boom!
The whole person suddenly ejected and started, smashed the rocks at the entrance of the cave with a bang, and rose into the sky!
The three warships in the sky immediately released their naval guns and focused fire on Nile.
The power of the naval artillery salvo is deadly for the C-level, but the next moment, the sky guard who followed Nero was slightly shocked, and lines of light outlined a polygonal golden shield, protecting Nero in the middle.
Bang bang bang!
All the naval artillery bombarded, exploding rounds of fireworks-like light, and the shield only showed slight cracks, and it was constantly repairing itself, and it survived a round of concentrated fire.
At the same time, several Kunde warships in the sky also understood Nile's intention and immediately deployed their shields to prevent outsiders from boarding the ship.
"Get me a channel!"
Nilo's thoughts moved, and the Sky Guard flashed a flash of mechanical force, which quickly deformed, revealing a hexagonal muzzle in the middle, and a strong dark energy burst out, shooting out black and red with great penetrating power. Dark energy rays.
swish swish
That rate of fire is simply incredible, quite a visual sense of frequent urination and urgency.
The shield of the target spaceship was blasted with a gap, and Nilo seized the opportunity and rushed into the gap.
Clap clap... A few compression balls were bounced out by his hand, and halfway turned into a few laser cutting drills with electromagnetic bases, which were adsorbed on the spacecraft, quickly cut open the outer armor, and made a hole leading to the interior of the spacecraft .
Nilo rolled and slammed into the spaceship. Without saying a word, he threw out a large number of mechanical soldiers, and drove Wushuang inside the spaceship, chopping melons and vegetables all the way, and the crew fell under his gunfire.
Because this spaceship allowed some soldiers to deal with other members of Nero, the force in the spaceship was not so sufficient, but it made Nero convenient.
Nilo, who was full of firepower and did not leave his hands, rushed into the main control room in a short time, directly took out the invasion chip of the Legion standard, and inserted it into the intelligent core of the spaceship. He is not a virtual mechanic, but the Legion has this aspect. Automatically hack the device.
At this moment, Nilo stumbled suddenly and found that the spaceship vibrated violently!
rumbling
Looking out through the porthole, the other two spaceships turned their heads and focused on the battleship he landed on, not caring about killing teammates.
"It's really ruthless to attack a teammate's spaceship." Nilo was speechless, but he was not slow. He rushed into the command room and successfully seized the control of the spaceship.
He directly poured most of the energy into the ship's shield, and controlled the warship to smash into the nearest enemy ship.
boom! !
The shields of the two spaceships rubbed together, splashing large pieces of broken light, and the enemy spaceship temporarily lost its balance and circled to the side.
Coincidentally, this ship happened to be flying towards another enemy ship. The two enemy ships collided and lost control at the same time. They were busy stabilizing the ship, and there was a short gap in the focus of the fire.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nilo drove the spaceship, directly swinging the tail of a dragon, and used the ship's hull to be in the middle of the two enemy ships and the ground troops.
"Come out, I grabbed the spaceship! I rushed to the ground from the coordinates I specified, and I used the tractor beam to suck you up!" Nilo immediately shouted in the channel.
"pretty!"
The captain and others who were circling were overjoyed, and the offensive suddenly broke out. Relying on the powerful individual combat power, they forcibly pierced through the containment of the Kunde soldiers.
boom!
The next moment, a certain piece of ground in the ruins exploded, the team members rushed to the surface, and the Kunde soldiers were still chasing behind.
"Captain, don't stop!"
Nilo looked happy and hurriedly shouted.
At this moment, it was a race against time. Nilo didn't have time to control the two enemy ships adjusted behind him and fired at his ass, bombarding his tail shield. He immediately used the tractor beam to attract the team members, and at the same time released a large number of turrets to focus fire on the Kunde soldiers who were chasing behind to cover the fire for his teammates.
The tractor beam successfully sucked all the teammates into the cabin. The accident here also caused the enemies in the city to fight with their fleet. More warships came here, and the number far exceeded their own.
Nilo didn't dare to fight, and after rescuing the team, he immediately rushed to the sky and fled to the universe.
Soon, the other team members also came to the command room, all rushing up and rubbing Nile's head frantically.
"Well done boy!"
"Haha, I was saved, I thought I was going to die this time!"
"It went so well, it seems that luck is on our side!"
Everyone looked happy and praised Nilo without hesitation, and Nilo was also quite excited.
"Don't be so happy so early, we are not out of danger yet." Although the captain said so, he also had a smile of the rest of his life on his face.
Although there are still a lot of spaceships chasing and killing, but compared with just now, the situation is not desperate, it is much better.
After being happy for a while, everyone thought of other teammates who had fallen into danger, and withdrew their smiles, and their faces returned to solemnity.
"We escaped, what about the other besieged players?" Someone asked.
"There's no way, we can't help, there are too many enemies, so to help rashly, we can only get in with us."
The captain shook his head. He was very clear about the current situation. Relying on their boat alone would only give away their heads and waste the opportunity to escape.
What they should do now is to run away separately, not to fight, and their situation is not as good as others, and they can only let other teammates seek their own happiness.
At this moment, Nilo remembered something, and his heart suddenly raised.
"By the way, I don't know what happened to Mia's team..."
Thinking of this, Nilo couldn't sit still, handed the spacecraft to his teammates to control, and hurriedly took out the communicator to contact Mia.
The process of waiting to be answered is a torment, and the time seems to be stretched for a long time.
Nilo waited anxiously for a while, but the call was never connected. He could only send a message to Mia's teammates, but no one answered, and his expression became more and more nervous.
It was not until the captain of the Mia team was contacted that the communication was finally connected, but the sound of the battle from the opposite side made Nello's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
"Cough cough... Nilo? You escaped?"
"It's me, you guys were also attacked? How's the situation, we have spaceships to support!"
"Don't... don't come, you all hurry up and run, my team has all been captured, Mia has also been captured alive, and I am the only one who is still resisting, and I can't hold it any longer. There are several enemies. A battleship, you can't save it, go away, ahem..."
After the other side finished speaking, the communication came to an abrupt end.
Nilo's face twitched, he turned his head and walked away, striding towards the direction of the hatch.
The surrounding teammates also heard the communication just now, and seeing Nilo's actions, a group of people rushed up and held him down.
"Nello, don't think about it." The captain shouted.
"I have to save her!"
Nilo was held down by seven or eight big men, struggling not to move, and his expression was firm.
"Don't be stupid, didn't I tell you just now that we are going to save people for nothing!" The captain shouted angrily.
"I know, so I didn't plan to ask you to help!" Nilo gritted his teeth, his voice burst out from between his teeth, "This is my own choice, I didn't let you take any risk, you can drive this spaceship away, I am one People go to save people, don't stop me!"
"You have no chance if you are alone, it's purely to die, don't be impulsive!" The captain suppressed Nilo.
Nilo struggled for a while before gradually calming down, sitting on the ground, covering his face with his hands, silent.
Seeing this, everyone let go of their hands one after another, took a few steps back, and left him alone.
Feeling Nilo's sadness, the captain couldn't help sighing, squatted down and patted Nilo's shoulder, brewing for a while, but he couldn't think of how to comfort others, so he could only muffled: "She was just taken away. Now, she's not dead yet, maybe there is a turning point, let's find a way to save her in the future, we can only run away now."
As soon as the voice fell, Nilo suddenly raised his head, his eyes were reddish, and his tone was low:
"You're right, I was impulsive just now, thank you for stopping me... Can't Mia and the others fall into the hands of the enemy, I don't know how they will be tortured, I still have the last hope."
With that said, Nilo stood up, took out the communicator, took a deep breath, and summoned the courage to call Han Xiao's number.
He originally made up his mind not to contact Han Xiao when he was serving, because he didn’t want to disappoint his godfather.
The signal for waiting for the communication sounded three times, and it seemed like a year for Nilo. After the precise three beeps, the communication was connected on the other side, and Nilo's familiar calm voice came out.
"Nilo, what's the matter with me?" Han Xiao had a subtle smile on his face.
"Godfather, I'm sorry, I let you down." Nilo rubbed his eyes and whispered, "I'm in a predicament that I can't solve, I hope you can help me."
"Tell me." Han Xiao responded lightly.
Nilo quickly explained the situation, lowered his head, and waited for a reply.
Looking at his appearance, Han Xiao touched his chin and smiled, "I refuse."
Nilo suddenly raised his head with a look of astonishment.
"Are you surprised?" Han Xiao put away his smile, "Your status is different now, not only my godson, but also a normal legionnaire. I did give you very high-quality treatment, but, It doesn't mean I'll always give you special treatment."
"But, but..." Nilo's eyes turned red.
"It's not impossible to ask me to help. Aside from your relationship with me, just from a business point of view, what can you give me, hire me to help you?" Han Xiao said lightly.
"I-I don't know."
"Then why do you want me to help?" Han Xiao blinked, "I have a good relationship with you, but I will not help you for no reason. The rules are like this. If you want something, you always need to take it. Exchange for something else, throw away this identity, what are you left with that you can take out?"
Nilo was confused and murmured: "I, I didn't..."
Seeing Nilo covering his head with his hands and not speaking for a long time, his expression became depressed, Han Xiao slowed down and said with a smile: "Why, do you feel hopeless? Think about it carefully, how long has it been since you said thank you to me? ."
Hearing this, Nilo was shocked, lowered his head, and muttered to himself:
"I'm sorry... please..."
"I'm asking you, do you feel hopeless?" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and increased his tone.
Nilo was silent for a long time before he raised his head again, bit his lip, and nodded towards Han Xiao with tears in his eyes.
"Despair is right, remember what it feels like now, and never experience it again." Han Xiao sat up straight, hehe smiled, "Don't worry, I promised you this time, and I will help you rescue your little girlfriend. "
Nilo's mood was ups and downs like a roller coaster. First he fell from the cloud to the abyss, and then shot into the sky from the abyss. At this time, he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
"thanks, thanks… "
"Don't be happy so early, it's not free." Han Xiao propped his cheeks with his palms, and said perseveringly: "You don't know what you can take out, but in fact, you are not useless, at least, you have Strong mechanical talent, why don't you use this as a bargaining chip."
"What does this mean?" Nilo didn't understand.
"If you have to explain, you can understand that I don't want you to waste your talent, don't ask what it means, you just need to answer me, agree or refuse." Han Xiao smiled.
Nilo still didn't understand, but he had no choice, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"I promise, please help me!"
At the same time, Han Xiao, who was talking remotely in the Black Star Palace, saw movement on the panel.
