"Pilot, I suggest merging with you near the ring and scanning the Ark's energy signature."
The HUD showed coordinates, only 70/
Dada dada—
Chichichi—
Bai Zhiyuan charged forward, gun in hand, and mowed down everything in her path. Within thirty seconds, she reached the reception hall.
Currently, BT was locked in combat with the Proto-Beasts, these creatures were also IMC test subjects.
Because Cooper had triggered security protocols in the past, even in the current timeline, he couldn't avoid being surrounded.
Arriving beside BT, BT pulled Bai Zhiyuan into the cockpit, "I found the console to extend the bridge to the ring, the HUD has it marked."
[Extend bridge to Prototype Folding spacetime weapon 24m]
Once inside the cockpit, Bai Zhiyuan transformed into a killing machine, her combat power more than doubling.
She annihilated the pack of bothersome mongrels clinging to BT.
'Piloting a Titan is still so exhilarating!'
'Humans are still too frail. Humanity will absolutely need steel bodies in the future, even if they are external.'
'This damn sense of security!'
'This familiar cockpit view, seeing this immediately calms my heart.'
...
Facing the suddenly appearing, significantly more hostile beasts, BT questioned, "It seems you've done something that causes these existing automated security systems to be somewhat hostile towards you."
Bai Zhiyuan didn't respond, letting her actions explain the reason to BT.
Hum~~Screech~!!
The timeline flickered back to the past. A group of patrolling Militia Titans in front of the plaza were bewildered.
"Vanguard-class Titans?"
"Where did they come from?"
The IMC soldiers' worldviews collapsed upon seeing the sudden appearance of these giants.
However, their only response was the 40mm tracking cannons!
Dong dong dong—!!
"I get it, Pilot, you caused a ruckus here before." BT's simple voice came through, the comment section instantly exploding:
'Hahaha, BT's slow realization.'
'Awesome, you can bring robots through time!'
'Enemy: You might not believe me, but I was just walking along, and suddenly a Vanguard appeared in front of me!'
'Didn't we just go back and cause a ruckus? Where did the favorability come from?'
'In this area, Cooper once stood at the window across from here, looking down. The scenery was very breathtaking.'
...
The Militia-class Titans should be the core force of the IMC's main army, with a full six health bars and very tough defenses.
Bai Zhiyuan spent a few extra seconds here to dispatch two Militia-class Titans.
BT: "I've marked the bridge console on the HUD. We must extend the bridge before the [Folding spacetime weapon] test platform explodes."
Outside the video, Zhou Jie suddenly exclaimed, "I get it!"
"Looking from the past timeline, the dual ring device outside is already damaged. The past timeline is still conducting experiments, which means this experiment ultimately failed."
"Returning to the past now is to acquire information about the Ark before the experiment failed. The bridge extension device is the only path to approach the Ark."
She proudly lifted her chin, expecting praise.
'Tch~'
'It's so obvious, why do you even need to explain?'
'Zhou Jie is awesome* (perfunctory)'
...
Playing along, Zhou Jie was an expert. Even without praise, she remained calm and continued her commentary:
"Look!"
"A new weapon has arrived!"
In the video, Bai Zhiyuan saw a new Titan weapon displayed in the armory:
The Ion.
[Ion: Automatic energy rifle, splits light speed, increases damage, laser core - heavy, chest-mounted laser cannon]
Upon seeing the equipment description, one could clearly hear Bai Zhiyuan gasp, clearly liking this weapon very much.
As the game progressed, everyone gradually became familiar with the functions and usage of each Titan weapon.
Each Titan weapon had its unique name, such as: Beast, Scorch, Ion, Plasm...
Corresponding to different functions. Scorch could use tracking cannons to lock onto targets in three shots, making it very practical.
Another example is Plasm, which could fire thermite to inflict severe high-temperature damage on Titans.
And when each weapon's energy core was fully charged, its core ability could be used. The Ion Core—
A heavy weapon that fired a laser cannon from its chest, directly turning BT into a walking laser cannon!
How could anyone not love it?
Screech—
After acquiring the weapon, Bai Zhiyuan exited the Titan to follow the coordinates and locate the console, inserting her data dagger into the console's energy slot.
At the same time, General Mad was issuing orders: "Ignore safety protocols, start the test immediately!"
He was anxious!
IMC Soldier: "Understood, under no circumstances let the intruders approach the Ark."
Talking loudly about their plans, huh?
Ding!
A notification sound indicated a successful system hack. Bai Zhiyuan decisively returned to the cockpit.
Hum~~Screech~!!
Using spacetime traversal, she returned to the present to avoid the most intense wave of attacks in the past timeline. After finding cover.
Hum~~Screech~!!
The timeline switched again. Simultaneously, Bai Zhiyuan had also equipped the new weapon—the Ion, an automatic energy rifle.
Chichichi—
Bang bang bang—
Zizizi—
With full firepower, the red energy beam emitted by the Ion Core dyed half the sky!
Enemy Militia Titans fell one after another, and the audience was stunned:
'Holy crap, this weapon is so powerful!'
'So cool!'
'Everyone look at me, I'm announcing something—this laser cannon will be my lifelong weapon!'
'The level design and scenery in this Spirit Realm stage are truly unbeatable!'
...
In the video, after overpowering the enemy forces, Bai Zhiyuan finally arrived before the dual ring device.
The test had already begun.
The dual rings rotated faster and faster, their whistling wind even drowning out the roar of the helicopters overhead.
At the core of the rings, the sun-like Ark radiated a dazzling, pale blue mist.
As the rotation speed increased, a terrifying energy pressure materialized and became visible to everyone.
Pale blue energy began to spill over.
Humming—!!
Yingying—!!
The closer they got, the clearer the ringing in their ears became, and the air around the rings seemed to distort.
At this moment, everyone stared intently at the screen, clenching their fists, their breathing becoming heavy.
'Friendly reminder: Watching videos is permissible while breathing.'
'Nuclear energy ahead!'
'Za Warudo!'
'World-class painting!'
...
Boom!!
A loud explosion echoed, and dazzling white light filled everyone's vision.
Hoo~ (Cooper's breathing)
Kaka kaka—
After a moment of daze, the sound of the cockpit opening was heard.
As their vision gradually cleared and they took in their surroundings.
Everyone was completely stunned!
...
