As a Mecha, I Can Evolve Unlimitedly
Chapter 14 Uneasy Omen
How many times in one's life do people have the opportunity to see the sea?
Xing Tian stopped and turned to look at the ocean beside him.
He was walking along the coastline, the never-ending waves lapping at his alloy ankles, and the fishy sea breeze seemed too cold at night.
But Yu Xiao couldn't feel any of this. It was like the audience was outside the screen and could only rely on imagination to satisfy themselves.
In his eyes, there was only endless darkness and a few insignificant beams of light from Xing Tian.
"Why stop?"
Bai Ying looked at Yu Xiao who was standing next to him with some confusion - the human image composed of holographic projection was exactly the same as what Bai Ying had seen during synchronization before.
Because I have never seen the sea in my previous life.
Yu Xiao wanted to say this, but now he is Xing Tian, a warrior who has been fighting monsters in the ocean since the day he started.
"If you're tired, let me walk instead." Bai Ying stretched, and the close-fitting combat uniform perfectly interpreted the girl's youthful and energetic figure at this moment.
Ever since Xing Tian was reorganized in Black Sky, Bai Ying had learned about the "automatic driving" function from Yu Xiao. In short, Yu Xiao could complete some simple actions on Bai Ying's behalf.
"It's okay, I just feel like the wind direction has changed."
Yu Xiao casually found a reason to cover for himself, but in the face of Bai Ying's concern, he was actually a little relieved. After all, the other party had indeed made changes.
However, Yu Xiao is not actually controlling Xingtian now - it is the holographic highly intelligent AI interactive system he ordered from the mall that is "driving" on his behalf.
Black technology is delicious!
Yu Xiao is a black-hearted middleman. He gets the benefits but doesn't need to do the work.
"Without you, I don't know how tired I would be." Bai Ying clenched his fists, "Why can Red Hurricane ride on a dragon boat? We have to go on our own!"
Bai Ying still remembers Meng Changqing's proud face before boarding the Xiangyun Dragon Boat.
To be honest, Yu Xiao also wanted to ride the dragon boat. This was not because he was afraid of losing face, but because he simply wanted to gain experience on the dragon boat.
Xiangyun, the first aerial fortress independently developed by Qian Guo, was originally designed to transport mechas over long distances. However, after many discussions, it has been transformed into a self-circulating assault-level combat unit.
In terms of scale alone, its volume is not much smaller than the Black Sky Base, and it is this terrifying size that allows it to carry five mechas at the same time for long-distance transportation!
Currently, there are three dragon boats of the same size in Qian Kingdom, and it is said that there is also a top-secret project under development, which is based on dragon boat technology.
"Maybe it's because our journey is relatively close and the dragon boat doesn't go along the way?" Yu Xiao found an explanation that seemed more reasonable.
But he knew why.
Because we are going to the Silent Cemetery to pick up rags, while others are going on an expedition!
The Silent Cemetery is a mecha recycling station located at the midpoint of the north and south coastlines of Qian Country.
Mechas that are damaged for various reasons or are no longer on the battlefield will be sent to their own mecha graveyards by various countries, where they will be dismantled and recycled.
Xingtian is lucky. As the only survivor of the first-generation mecha, he has become a hero in the hearts of many people and a symbol of human unyielding, so he was able to escape being dismantled after retirement.
"Forget it...the place they are going to is much more dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you will die. Don't fight with them!" Bai Ying rarely struggled with this issue of differential treatment.
Because only she knew that Xingtian's upgrade was done with Black Sky's "life-saving money."
When Bai Ying and General Chen communicated alone, she learned about the tremendous pressure currently facing Black Sky - the entire Watcher Alliance was impacted by last year's global boycott and had to significantly shrink its scale, which directly caused the alliance to This year's budget has been cut in half!
Black Sky has the largest number of mechas among all bases, but this also means that the expenses they bear are several times that of other bases.
Therefore, Black Sky decided to open the silent cemetery that was originally under its own control to the market, and completely packaged the operation to contractors, in order to earn fixed rents and floating transaction commissions.
But even if it reaches this point, Black Sky's capital chain will be completely broken in six months. If it cannot obtain new financial support, Black Sky will be closed permanently.
In this case, sending Xingtian to the war factory for a formal upgrade will directly cause Black Sky to go bankrupt next month!
So General Chen found another way and spent three months' funds to order a complete set of worn third-generation mecha parts from Silent Cemetery.
Although it is not as good as the regular upgrade of the war factory, it is enough to increase Xingtian's combat power by several levels!
To use General Chen's own words to describe this deal, "Instead of worrying about a tomorrow that may not exist, it is better to survive today regardless of the cost."
This is also his judgment on the next step in this war.
"I thought you would complain a few more times." Yu Xiao obviously saw that Bai Ying was hiding something from him.
"I'm just telling the truth!" Bai Ying curled his lips, "Black Sky's funds are very tight. The Silent Cemetery was originally under the control of our legion. After it was contracted out, according to the agreement, we only get more discounts when buying things, but we can't. Take it for free.”
"The cost of building mechas is not cheap. If the contractor keeps asking us to pay for nothing every day, he should have gone bankrupt a long time ago." Yu Xiao easily saw the reason, "But if we don't have the courage to leave that Chris, maybe You can go to the War Factory for upgrades."
"If Chris hadn't been driven away, you would have been taken to Omega for anatomy!" Bai Ying glared at Yu Xiao angrily.
"etc……"
Yu Xiao did not continue to quarrel with Bai Ying, but turned to look at the endless sea again.
The cold sea wind scraped through Xing Tian's armor like a sharp knife, but it still could not shake the giant standing on the shore.
"Is there something wrong?" Bai Ying tensed his body, ready to control Xing Tian to avoid possible dangers.
Her eyes swept across the holographic interface floating in the air. As the ripples on the radar spread outward with Xing Tian as the center, Bai Ying felt more and more strange.
Energy radar detected no threats.
"The wind has changed."
"Can you please stop making such a joke!" Bai Ying almost jumped down from the control position and gave Yu Xiao a kick.
"I'm not kidding you, the wind has really changed."
"I think your head was blown by the wind. This is the seaside. It's abnormal if there is no wind!" Bai Ying was too lazy to talk to Xing Tian, who was a little nervous. He directly dismissed the driver and controlled Xing Tian to continue on his way.
Yu Xiao did not continue to argue with Bai Ying, because his energy radar and night vision did not find anything abnormal.
But he always felt that something was watching Xing Tian, but the line of sight was very weak, like it came from the clouds and stars above his head.
To be on the safe side, Yu Xiao immediately opened the mall page.
He originally planned to check and fill in the gaps after upgrading the Silent Cemetery, but now he must first ensure that he will not have an accident on the road!
[Redemption successful, thank you for your patronage]
"This should be safe enough..."
