Mecha Journey

The huge impact of landing came quickly. Even if the mecha's all-round joints and buffer system were turned on, Yang Mu, who was standing in the cockpit, was still a little embarrassed by the impact.

Yang Mu's movements did not pause. The steep snow-capped mountain wall did not allow the mecha to stand smoothly. Yang Mu simply controlled the mecha to jump up and down the mountain with long strides, using the mecha to leave a distinct trace on the snow. .

"Pay more attention to the snow conditions and ensure that the engine can perform jet maneuvers at any time."

While flying downward, Yang Mu said loudly in the channel that although everyone had not operated mechas for several real field trainings during the three months of training, the virtual mechas provided by Shanfu Square were Training also brings great benefits to everyone.

As for now, Yang Mu and others controlled the mechas to go down the mountain very quickly. In a short period of time, the positions of the ten mechas quickly dropped below the snow line, and the terrain began to gradually become gentle. Yang Mu also began to slowly control the speed of the mecha going down the mountain.

The bloodthirsty controlled by Ji Mo also followed Yang Mu's Polar Star not far behind. When he saw Yang Mu's mecha starting to brake, Ji Mo also controlled the mecha and began to slow down its descent.

But at this moment, a huge stone stood in front of Ji Mo. Ji Mo originally wanted to step on it and jump down, but as soon as his footsteps touched the stone surface, he didn't expect that the stone was hidden under the snow. Parts had already broken, and Ji Mo's entire Bloodthirsty aircraft suddenly fell down the mountain, about to lose its balance completely.

"ah!!"

Ji Mo screamed in fright at this time. Faced with such an unexpected situation, he couldn't even fully demonstrate his basic skills in piloting a mecha.

Yang Mu was not far away from Ji Mo. At the same moment when Ji Mo screamed, the engine behind Yang Mu that had been preheating at full power immediately started. The entire Polaris jumped up from the snow and rushed towards Ji Mo. Mo's location.

When the Bloodthirsty Mecha rolled twice on the slope and was about to land head-first, Yang Mu controlled Polaris's mecha arm to grab the Bloodthirsty Mecha's waist, and the jets behind it simultaneously Adjusting the spray angle, he gradually stabilized his figure while jumping downwards.

At this time, Ji Mo was already a little sluggish, just looking at the figure of Polaris through the holographic helmet.

Then he made an action unconsciously.

Wrap the two arms of the Bloodthirster mech around Polaris' neck.

At this time, other mechas who were close and noticed the situation hurried over. Seeing that Yang Mu had rescued Ji Mo, they continued to move forward into the forest below after confirming that nothing was wrong.

After finding a relatively flat ground, Yang Mu put down the Bloodthirsty mecha. Only then did Ji Mo react, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Be careful, the terrain here is uneven, and each jet of the mecha must be in a preheated state at all times."

Yang Mu had no way of noticing Ji Mo's situation in the cockpit, but after reminding Ji Mo again, he drove the mecha and took Ji Mo to the predetermined first location.

…

Fifteen minutes later, ten different mechas gathered at the first scheduled location agreed upon by Yang Mu. Yang Mu asked everyone to prepare for a while and then immediately went to the next location.

When heading to the second location, Ji Mo always followed Yang Mu in the mecha intentionally or unintentionally. He even spoke in the channel several times, but did not continue.

Because Yang Mu is the captain and has excellent skills, and his mecha is originally focused on reconnaissance, Yang Mu has to go to the front of the team from time to time to conduct reconnaissance and carefully determine the surrounding environment. Plan more convenient roads in a timely manner.

So Yang Mu never noticed why Ji Mo, who was usually lively, became so silent today.

…

After arriving at the second scheduled location, Yang Mu and several mechas carefully surveyed the surrounding environment, while the remaining mechas set up camp on the spot to build a shelter where they could spend the night tonight.

The reason for doing this is that the cockpit in the mecha design is actually very narrow, which can ensure that a person can move more freely in it. However, because it is an almost cylindrical design, this structure means that the driver can only Standing in it is not possible to sit in it and rest.

Therefore, when it is time to rest, everyone still has to go down to the ground under the mecha and set up a tent for the night.

Nine of the students in the team are boys, and only Ji Mo is a girl. After Yang Mu came back, the arrangement he made for everyone was that Ji Mo didn't have to work the night shift, and the tent was between the boys' tents.

Since we are at the high latitudes of the northern hemisphere of the planet Hades, it is winter here again. Although the temperature in the mountains is only a few degrees below zero, it is not a problem to spend the night outdoors. However, after Yang Mu and others have finished organizing various things, The sky has also darkened.

Everyone parked the mecha on the outside and lit a bonfire in the cleared space in the middle. While each was cooking, Yang Mu also began to analyze the next mission route with Harris.

This assessment gave each team a starting point and an end point, and also arranged several locations that needed to be investigated. Each team must complete these tasks within the specified time and successfully reach the end point at the same time in order to pass the assessment. .

"Yang Mu, I think we should go here first and go in on the road, and that point is also close to several other points, making it easier for us to choose."

Harris held a display panel and pointed to the location on it while sighing.

Yang Mu stirred the instant food cooked on the gas stove and turned his head to look at the panel.

After a while, Yang Mu shook his head and stretched out his hand to draw on it a few times.

"Harris, I decided to go here. If I go to this location, I have to pass through a lake. I'm worried that the ice on the lake won't be able to bear the weight of the mecha. If I go around it, the time will be longer. At the same time, there are a few marks here. We are in a dangerous area and there are large creatures whose conditions are unknown.”

"The risk factor is too high. If we connect in series from here, these two points..."

Yang Mu analyzed the situation carefully, and Harris also listened to Yang Mu's opinions carefully, but still insisted on his own ideas. The two parties were at loggerheads, so Yang Mu suggested that everyone vote together later.

If placed in a normal team, Yang Mu, as the captain, would not be able to let others oppose his opinions, but the current situation is different. These people in front of him are all classmates from the academy, and they are all elites themselves. He has his own ideas, and he is not too old to convince others.

If you give an order forcefully, everyone may obey it, but it may also reduce everyone's team cohesion.

If the team falls apart by then, there may be unnecessary casualties on this strange and dangerous planet.

This goes against Yang Mu's original intention, so Yang Mu can only choose this compromise method.

…

"Come, have something to eat."

While the team members were still discussing the plan, Yang Mu brought a bowl of hot broth and a pack of compressed biscuits to Ji Mo, squatted down and said to her.

After returning from Yang Mu's investigation, Ji Mo was almost always in this state. He was in a trance and seemed to be distracted from anything he did.

When the bonfire rose, Ji Mo sat alone, with his hands on his knees, looking at the flames, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing Yang Mu's voice, Ji Mo turned her head numbly and looked at the things Yang Mu brought to her. Ji Mo did not reach out to take it, but looked up at Yang Mu.

Yang Mu looked at Ji Mo naturally, with a warm smile on his face, and passed the soup bowl in his hand forward.

"Yang Mu...am I...useless?" Ji Mo asked Yang Mu an inexplicable question at this time.

When Yang Mu heard the other party's question, he was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled, dragged a small tree stump and put it in front of Ji Mo, put the hot soup bowl on it, and said to Ji Mo.

"Why do you think so?"

Ji Mo turned his head, looked elsewhere, and whispered.

"I don't know either. My eldest brother has always been by my side since I was little, so everything I do goes smoothly, but today my brother is not by my side. I make mistakes everywhere."

"I haven't done anything yet. You are all taking care of me..." As he spoke, Ji Mo's voice became smaller and smaller, and his whole body curled up.

Seeing the pitiful look of this girl who usually looked like a big sister, Yang Mu let out a confused breath.

Although Yang Mu didn't particularly understand how Ji Mo's current mentality came about, it might be because he had been protected by his brother for a long time, but now the situation suddenly changed. The person he trusted the most was no longer around, so he couldn't adapt to it. ?

This state may be like traveling alone and suddenly arriving in a strange place with no friends to communicate with you.

Faced with this situation, Yang Mu could only try his best to relieve Ji Mo, at least to ease her state, so that she could better complete the next task and pass the assessment smoothly.

Seeing the depressed Ji Mo, Yang Mu somehow reached out his right hand to Ji Mo's head and touched her.

"Although Ji Jin is not with you now, I am also a good friend of Ji Jin, and I can be considered half of your brother."

Yang Mu said soothingly, and then urged Ji Mo to eat something.

The surrounding students looked at the situation of Yang Mu and Ji Mo, curled their lips, showed a helpless smile, and then turned their heads to continue discussing the plan they had just proposed.

Ji Mo was a little nervous due to the sudden movements and words of Yan Mu. He looked at Yang Mu with a pair of big watery eyes. He tried to speak several times but paused, and then lowered his head.

It seemed that the calm temperament that Yang Mu exuded unconsciously gave Ji Mo a sense of security.

With a soft "hmm", Ji Mo stretched out her hand to take the broth in front of her and drank it in small sips.

Seeing Ji Mo's recovery, Yang Mu felt relieved.

"Drink slowly and have a good sleep tonight. I will take you with you tomorrow and in the next few days. Everything will go well."
