Meng Huai listened to Rong Feiwen’s words and looked at the protective wall.
“It certainly looks a bit run-down, but with some repairs, it can last for a while longer.”
Wen Bai nodded, “Indeed, with some patching and mending, it can serve for another hundred years!”
Wen Bai looked at Meng Huai and walked to where she had just placed the formation flag. He examined it but couldn’t discern anything special.
Pointing at the object, Wen Bai asked Meng Huai, “Is this what you’ve been busy with these past few days? It doesn’t look particularly special.”
Meng Huai walked beside the formation flag and flicked it with her index finger, saying to Wen Bai, “This thing, perhaps, is another protective wall.”
“Protective wall?” Both Wen Bai and Rong Feiwen exclaimed. To be honest, although the protective wall was transparent, it was still visible. With just these few flags, you claim it’s a protective wall? I don’t believe it!
“Just this thing?” Wen Bai asked.
Rong Feiwen also felt that this was a bit of a joke and voiced his thoughts, “Just this thing? If I pull it out, will your protective wall fail? This thing of yours isn’t good; it has too many loopholes!”
Facing the doubts and questions from both of them, Meng Huai did not get angry. Instead, she smiled at Rong Feiwen.
Rong Feiwen was made a little uneasy by her expression, “Don’t look at me like that; I feel like you’re planning something mischievous.”
Meng Huai simply pointed at the formation flag and said, “If you have doubts, why don’t you try it? See if you can pull it out.”
“Huh?”
Rong Feiwen looked at Meng Huai’s expression and her confident tone, already knowing that the flag was likely not as simple as he thought.
Rong Feiwen no longer wanted to try pulling the flag, but he saw Wen Bai had already reached out to pull it.
“Hey! Wen Shi…”
Your curiosity is too strong. Rong Feiwen looked at Meng Huai, asking with his eyes: This won’t be dangerous, will it?
Meng Huai shook her head, assuring him that there was no problem. Her gaze then shifted towards the flag, signaling him to just watch.
Seeing Meng Huai’s expression, Rong Feiwen thought: Good, as long as it’s safe. Then, he walked forward again, watching his idol ungracefully pulling at the flag on the ground.
However, no matter how much force he exerted, the flag remained motionless. Not even the ground beneath the flag showed the slightest reaction.
“Heh, I don’t believe it.”
Wen Bai thought: I can’t even conquer a small flag!
At this moment, he gripped the flag tightly with both hands, planting his feet backward and exerting his strength, but the flag did not budge.
Under normal circumstances, it would be possible to pull it out by the root, along with some stones from the ground.
Wen Bai’s actions attracted the attention of many people, who came to watch the spectacle.
“What is Wen Bai doing?”
“Is he trying to pull that thing out?”
“Don’t know.”
Wen Bai eventually gave up without being able to pull out the formation flag.
Meng Huai looked at Rong Feiwen, opened her palm, and pointed at the formation flag, signaling him to try as well.
Rong Feiwen repeatedly waved his hands, “No, no, I’m convinced, I’m convinced. I was thinking too simply.”
Meng Huai raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to concede so quickly. It was uninteresting.
Xie Xue heard that Meng Huai had come out and also rushed over. Seeing so many people gathered there, he asked the soldier who had opened the flying vehicle for Meng Huai, “What’s going on? Why is everyone here?”
“That flag is what Miss Meng made these past few days. That classmate Rong said it wasn’t secure and could be easily taken away by anyone. But later, they tried and found that the flag couldn’t be pulled out no matter what.”
Xie Xue nodded as he listened to the soldier’s explanation and walked forward, asking Meng Huai, “Classmate Meng, is it all finished?”
Seeing Xie Xue arrive, Meng Huai directly tossed a remote control into Xie Xue’s hand.
Xie Xue instinctively reached out to catch it. Seeing it was a remote control, he looked at Meng Huai.
Meng Huai directly explained to Xie Xue, “Everything is done. Since Commander Xie is here, let’s test its effect.”
Xie Xue had the same intention, but looking at the remote control in his hand, he still asked, “How do I use this?”
“I’ve completed the protective formation. I used a special method on the formation flags, so even if this city collapses, these flags will not be damaged. As long as the flags are in place, and you press the button in the middle, a protective shield will appear. It can resist any attack from people or star beasts.”
Xie Xue listened intently to Meng Huai’s words, as their protective wall in Blue Sea Star’s central city was no longer as it used to be. If this so-called formation could truly protect Blue Sea Star, Xie Xue would repay Meng Huai with anything. Xie Xue now placed great hope in this defensive formation.
Meng Huai looked at Xie Xue and pointed to the remote control in his hand, saying, “Commander Xie, shall we test its effect?”
Xie Xue looked at Meng Huai’s confident smile, picked up the remote control, and said, “Then, let’s try?”
Meng Huai raised an eyebrow, signaling him that he could test the effect at any time.
Xie Xue had the soldier drive the flying vehicle out. The flying vehicle did not have as complete weaponry as the military spacecraft, nor as great power. However, to test the effect, the flying vehicle was sufficient.
The soldier naturally understood Xie Xue’s intention and piloted the flying vehicle through the protective wall. The flying vehicle hovered in the air, awaiting Xie Xue’s command. Xie Xue ordered everyone to move away from the attack location.
The engineers and mech pilots who had been repairing the protective wall earlier had come to watch the excitement, while some were still working diligently. Upon hearing Xie Xue tell them to move away, they retreated further.
Not knowing the effect of this thing, doing this was safer.
Seeing that everyone was far from the area to be bombarded, Xie Xue pressed the central part of the remote control. Then, he made a gesture to the soldier. Upon seeing it, the soldier pressed the button for the flying vehicle to fire its weapon.
A shell was launched from the flying vehicle and headed straight for the central city. However, before it could approach the protective wall, it came to a halt about a meter outside the protective wall. The shell felt resistance and exploded. But the force of the explosion seemed to be absorbed, causing no disturbance at all.
At this moment, the people here saw this situation, and suddenly a wave of discussion erupted, very noisy.
It should be known that these engineers and mech pilots were very proud, but seeing the situation before them, their eyes revealed admiration.
“What is this thing?!”
“It seems to have been blocked!”
“Not only was it intercepted, it also seems to have absorbed it.”
These people were all discussing the effect they had just witnessed. Meng Huai, however, pointed to the button on the remote control and said, “This formation can also absorb a portion of the attack power. Pressing the button above allows the absorbed attack power to be reflected outwards. If used properly, this can achieve a surprise effect.”
