Chapter 154 The Situation Changes

When Mu Chen's mech appeared in the sky above the ground, the Zerg and everyone in the ground command center were astonished to see the snow-white figure of Su Bo.

"What's going on?"

Just as everyone was wondering, the next command for the assembled team quickly arrived on their optical brains.

Everyone immediately began to carry out their tasks, the first of which was to transfer everyone underground.

"No way? We're leaving too?"

Guderian and Li Yuan were both in the logistics of repairing mechs and starships this time. Suddenly, they received an order to evacuate even them?

"Then the outside isn't..."

Guderian pointed to the figure outside the window and said, "Isn't this about to start?"

"That's why we have to go down."

Guderian had a very bad feeling about this battle. Transferring everyone underground was currently the best option, but it also meant sealing off their retreat.

Once Planet Qilan was destroyed, they, hiding underground, would also be destroyed.

If they didn't go down, the surface would be the first to suffer, and they would still be dead.

"It's just that we're going down, but what about them up there..." Guderian hesitated and said what was in his heart, "Wouldn't they have no logistical support? Wouldn't that be a one-way trip?"

When he finally said "one-way trip," Guderian's voice became quieter, feeling as if he was no different from someone cursing others.

Mu Chen, who was being worried about, was currently reconstructing his "turret."

Mingmei was also in Mu Chen's mech cockpit at the moment.

She didn't choose to summon Jin Yi immediately. Instead, she watched Mu Chen take out Su Bo first, watching him build his own combat mode.

"Your operation is really fast!"

Mingmei sat in the co-pilot seat, constantly marveling at Mu Chen's fingers, which were so fast that they left afterimages.

If it were her controlling the mech's actions with a keyboard, she would probably be constantly ganged up on by the Zerg, with no power to fight back.

"I'll use the particle cannon with the highest output in my mech to fire into the air later. Breaking through shouldn't be a problem.

You can then follow the cannon and rush straight through to attack the Zerg from behind."

Mu Chen said it lightly, but Mingmei felt the amazing destructive power of Su Bo.

Breaking through the encirclement...

No one in the base dared to say they had such a weapon.

"I'll support you from behind. You can fight in the front with peace of mind. Once we attract the firepower, that 'Firefly' won't be able to resist appearing."

"I will." Mu Chen saw that Mingmei agreed so quickly, but he was a little worried.

Mingmei's close combat skills were basically exactly like her mother's.

Mu Chen was worried that once Mingmei started fighting, she wouldn't remember what he had said before, what she had promised.

Even though Mu Chen wanted to make an agreement with her, he would always be guarding Mingmei from behind, but Mu Chen was still worried that Mingmei would rush too fast, and he wouldn't be able to guard her.

Therefore, he didn't even completely fix the turret to the ground when he was building it.

It was to prevent Mingmei from rushing too fast, so he could directly carry the turret and run along to support her in time.

If that didn't work, he would fire a shot.

Just as the two of them were still discussing, Mu Chen's actions of building a turret with Su Bo also attracted the attention of the Zerg.

The Zerg, which had been tightly covering Planet Qilan, now seemed to notice the sudden appearance of the mech on the surface.

Mingmei watched as the colorful Zerg eyes in the sky seemed to be looking towards them. Invisibly, powerful mental forces swept past them, as if they had discovered what they were doing.

"Alright, Meimei, go get ready."

Mu Chen finally completed his turret, stopped his movements, and said this to Mingmei.

Mingmei did not hesitate to leave the co-pilot's cabin. In the next instant, the cannon on Mu Chen's turret suddenly shone with a dazzling luster.

As Mu Chen's ion cannon shot out, a black figure darted out from behind Su Bo and rushed up along the light wave.

Even though the Zerg had already sensed that something was wrong, they were still caught off guard. In an instant, they were directly pierced through as Mu Chen had said.

The Zerg, who had been pierced through in the middle, hadn't recovered yet when they were suddenly beaten up by the black figure that had rushed in front of them.

"My god, their cooperation is really..."

Ruian and her younger brother, who had already arrived at the designated location to wait and prepare to support Mingmei and Mu Chen, were also stunned by their cooperation.

What could break through the Zerg's defense in an instant?

If such a powerful weapon was installed on a battle starship, wouldn't it be like adding wings to a tiger in battle?

Breaking a gap in the tightly besieged Zerg encirclement, and in just an instant, was something that neither of them dared to imagine.

"Is this the destructive power of an S-class mech?"

Duo Lun stared at the Su Bo mech behind Mingmei, already fantasizing about how he would modify his mech when he had saved enough money to upgrade it to S-class in the future.

Mingmei and Mu Chen's sudden attack caught the other side off guard.

At this moment, a brief fierce battle broke out in the air.

The others, who had just received the order to transfer underground in a short time to avoid the flames of war, were also taken aback by what was happening above.

Especially the commander.

Originally, when he received the order and guidance for part of the plan, he had already anticipated the kind of riot that Mingmei and Mu Chen's initial actions would cause among the Zerg.

He even thought that it would directly affect the ground, which was why he decided to transfer everyone underground.

But to his surprise, after watching a mixed battle break out in the air, no Zerg cared about what was happening below. All of their attention was attracted by the battle in the air.

"The general really came to save us! Look, that's Vice Adjutant Duo Lun's mech!"

"Ah, and and, there's Ruian! There's Secretary Ruian's mech too!"

"Heavens!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, as if they had been injected with a shot of adrenaline, and their whole bodies were extremely excited.

The commander standing on the command platform also showed an excited smile on his face and immediately lowered his head to arrange the next command.

The guys who were still hiding below, ready to leave, also received combat orders.

Everyone, who had been feeling a little down because they were watching newcomers like Mingmei and Mu Chen rush up while they, as veterans, were taking shelter here, were now energized.

They called out to their friends, flexing their fists and showing off their muscles, as if they were about to have a big fight.

"Don't go." Seeing Julian's eager movements, Chen An grabbed his arm and warned, "This time is completely different from last time."

Last time, it was just for Lu Xiaokui, and Chen An turned a blind eye, thinking that he could just follow and watch over him, so that Julie wouldn't really be threatened.

But this time, he couldn't say for sure. Even if he guarded Julian's side, he himself would doubt whether he could hold on if a real fight broke out.

He was afraid that he would die first, and then Julian would be gone too.

He couldn't accept that, even if he just thought about it.

"Uncle Chen..."

Julian wanted to try again. But Chen An was unmoved.

"I just want to say it one last time." Chen An grabbed Julian's arm tightly, his eyes fixed on him, "You have to remember, once you have a problem, how much impact will you have on the Empire and the Federation?

You can sacrifice yourself for the Federation, you can die on the battlefield of the Federation, but to die unclearly here in the Empire, just based on the attitude of the Empire's upper echelons towards the Sixth Legion today, towards Planet Qilan, what do you think your death will become?

This is a very serious diplomatic incident, do you know?"

Listening to Chen An's analysis, Julian's previously excited heart was doused with a bucket of cold water.

He didn't know whether Chen An was protecting him out of selfishness or out of genuine consideration for the Federation and the Empire.

But he could not deny that what Chen An said was very likely to happen.

"Don't worry, I just received a message from the president that our rescue troops are coming soon. This crisis on Planet Qilan will be resolved, so you don't have to worry."

After saying so many alarmist words, Julian felt that Chen An had finally said something that reassured him the most...
