Mecha Journey

Chapter 74 Crossing the Crater



Yanhuang Star has always attached great importance to the protection of the ecological environment, so there are large tracts of forests and wetlands on the planet.

Such a landscape would be the ultimate natural beauty during the day.

But under the cover of night, these beautiful forests and vast wetlands reveal their ferocious horror.

Various animals shuttled through the jungle from time to time, causing a lot of trouble to the mecha team. Fortunately, because of the mecha's tall body, these originally ferocious beasts just fled in panic and put away their respective of minions.

Yang Mu and his group were shuttled among them, not very fast, but moving forward steadily.

On the way, everyone encountered many mechas acting alone. They had to stop halfway to look for partners because they did not notice the power of the mechas. Fortunately, the test rules required that they move forward on a planned narrow path, but these mechas did not. Lost, but in such an environment, these people did not dare to rush out of the cockpit of the mecha.

On the way, someone wanted to join Yang Mu and others, but was rejected by Ji Jin.

It has to be said that Ji Jin’s approach was very correct from the beginning. In the first two sections of the road, the red giant lizard led everyone through a swamp. The design of this mecha itself and The tools it carries allow it to easily pull the remaining four mechas forward on such soft soil.

After walking 80 kilometers, the red giant lizard mecha only had 10% of its power left, so it handed over the task to Yang Mu's giant ape mecha. The remaining power would be used later when passing through the crater.

Putting on Yang Mu's mecha, the giant ape mecha had obvious advantages in the jungle area. The huge upper body strength of the mecha allowed Yang Mu to easily carry the remaining mechas to the bottom of the volcano. At this time, Yang Mu's giant mecha The ape mecha still has 18% energy.

Yang Mu and Quinn had led the entire team for a distance of 150 kilometers. Halfway through the journey, everyone's tasks were exceeded. After successfully passing the volcano, everyone was able to reach the finish line easily.

The remaining power of Yang Mu at this time is enough for Yang Mu to arrange ropes on the crater, and then rely on other mechas to carry him down.

The five people who formed the temporary team had a tacit understanding with each other. Although everyone came from different places, as elite students, everyone was able to think independently and quickly come up with solutions to problems when they encountered them.

Under the volcano, the Titan Raider driven by Yuan Miao took the initiative to walk to the front. At this time, the other mechas also removed the wood tied to their bodies, and then used the steel cables on Yang Mu's mecha to tie each other's arms. The mechas are connected together.

"Are you ready?" Yuan Miao said in the channel. The engines behind the Titan Raider were all turned on and were already being debugged.

The tools on the Titan Assault are barbs on the lower limbs that can be driven into the soil. At the same time, there are two supports that can be put down on the back of the mecha. At the same time, the Titan Assault's hands are two ice-breaking hammers. You can use it here to assist climbing.

It seems that the academy has already thought out how to use each mecha.

"Classmate Yuan Miao, the slope here is too steep. I suggest you not to start too fast, and remember to stay close to some rocks when walking, so that if there is a problem..."

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

Quinn pushed up his glasses, and was about to remind Yuan Miao of his actions, and also wanted to give some suggestions of his own, but Yuan Miao suddenly activated the mecha.

The Titan mecha is worthy of being one of the most powerful mechas in the world. The two huge engines on the back of the Titan assaulter ejected huge blue flames, and the billowing heat waves suddenly stirred up thick volcanic ash, which made Yang Mu The whole group of people was enveloped in it,

The mecha's sudden advance also startled Quinn.

"You are really noisy." Yuan Miao finally found a way to retort, and mocked Quinn fiercely. Then the Titan Raider exerted his strength, pulling a group of mechas and slowly climbed up.

However, during the journey, despite some difficulties with Quinn, Yuan Miao still accepted some of Quinn's suggestions, such as getting closer to the exposed volcanic rocks when climbing with the mecha.

Although most of these rocks are loose and porous basalt, they can still bring some buffer to Yang Mu and his party in case of emergency.

After nearly two hours of climbing, the Titan Raiders finally led the entire team of mechas to the highest point of the volcano. At the last moment, in order to leave some energy for the Titan Raiders to cross the crater, members of the team All the mechas were powered on and worked together to reach the top of the volcano.

"Wow, this place is so big." Ji Mo drove the mecha and turned around to look at the place he came up from, exclaiming excitedly in the channel.

Yang Mu maneuvered the mecha forward to check the situation, hoping to find some good places to lay out the steel cables to help the entire team cross the crater.

"Classmate Yang Mu, come here and take a look at this situation." At this moment, Ji Jin's calm voice sounded on the channel, calling Yang Mu over.

Yang Mu walked over and saw that the Sky Bird Mecha was standing next to a huge rock on the edge of the crater. Seeing Yang Mu walking over, he waved his fist towards the rock next to him.

The fist hit the black rock hard, and the whole fist actually penetrated directly, and the black stone suddenly cracked a lot.

Ji Jin looked at this situation and sighed deeply. .

Originally, before coming up, Ji Jin also conceived another plan, that is, if the situation in this crater is not particularly bad, especially if it is not far away, then he will use the Sky Bird mecha to destroy everyone's mecha. Fly over with it.

But now, the crater with a width of about two hundred meters and an unknown depth made Ji Jin give up this idea.

Although he can still bring everyone's mecha with him, after that, the energy of his mecha will be greatly reduced, and the next gliding plan will be greatly interfered with, and may even be disrupted. planning arrangements.

At this time, Ji Jin still felt that he was more confident in the past. He should have picked up one or two more mechas on the way. But now that he is out of his team, the others are still looking for teammates in the jungle, and there is no one yet. A mech climbed up the crater like its own group.

It seems that we can only rely on the five mechas of this team.

"It seems that we have underestimated the situation here." Yang Mu seriously picked up a stone from the ground, and the mecha crushed the stone with a gentle squeeze of his hand.

Ji Jin nodded: "Well, these rocks can't bear the binding of the steel cables at all. It seems that we have to put in more effort."

Ji Jin's helpless words came from the channel, and several other mechas who were still checking the surrounding situation immediately looked over.

Yang Mu steered the mecha to the edge of the volcano and looked inside the crater.

This volcano is an extinct volcano, with a volcanic lake formed in the middle, and the water inside is green stagnant water. The participation of volcanic materials causes the water to be very acidic, making it impossible for mechas to wade directly through it.

What's more, the situation under the lake is unknown...

"Then we can only use other methods." Yang Mu agreed.

"Ah? How to get through this? Can't we go around it?" Yuan Miao said from the side at this time, but Ji Jin shook his head.

"It can't be circumvented. We have already tried it before. These mechas should be monitored by high-precision satellites. Before, our mechas only deviated slightly from the planned path and were warned."

"And the path around the crater from both sides is definitely outside their plan. They are forcing us to go through the middle."

Yang Mu also nodded and directly stated his method.

"Because there is something wrong with the rock, we can only use our mechas as stakes to tie the steel cables."

"Mecha as a stake? How to do it?" Quinn asked, obviously not thinking about what to do.

"Yang Mu probably meant that I would fly over, hold the rope, and then send you over one by one."

Ji Jin quickly understood Yang Mu's thoughts. Maybe he had already thought of this plan and said it immediately on the channel.

"But if this is the case, then we should carefully consider the Titan Raider. It must pass on the third one, otherwise the traction force of only one mecha on one side may not be able to withstand its gravity." Quinn at this time Said, the question again pointed to Yuan Miao's mecha.

Yuan Miao rarely refuted the opponent.

Ji Jin also nodded and said: "That's true, so Jackdaw and I will go first, then the Titan Raiders, then Quinn, and finally..." Ji Jin raised his head and looked at the mecha driven by Yang Mu.

"I am the queen." Yang Mu said directly, his tone calm.

"Ah, why did the queen come here?" Ji Mo suddenly realized the problem and asked.

The diameter of the crater is two hundred meters, and the vertical height to the lake is estimated to be less than fifty meters, and the steel cable cannot be fixed.

"Why don't I go up twice more." Ji Jin put forward his idea, but Yang Mu rejected it.

Going back and forth twice will consume more energy. Although it is a bit risky, it is another way to reduce energy consumption.

Yang Mu smiled slightly, pointed to the steel cables on his fuselage, and said: "The plan is very simple. After all of you have passed, each bundle of steel cables here will be 220 meters long. Pull four of them. One steel cable for each of you, and each of the three of you will bring a winch I have here. When I want to go over, Yuan Miao, you drive your own mecha to roll down the cliff, and the other mechas stand and spread out. That way I can get over it.”

Yang Mu told him his plan, but none of the four people spoke. Instead, they were thinking carefully about the rationality of the plan.

"Okay, I agree." Quinn was the first to say.

After a while, the remaining people couldn't think of any better way, so they could only agree.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Yang Mu started to greet everyone to start working. Yang Mu removed the winches from his feet and right hand, and loaded one for Ji Jin, Ji Mo and Quinn. All the winches were on One end of the steel rope was tied to his feet, and then Ji Jin took the lead in pulling out a steel rope, tightening it and flying over.

After successfully reaching the opposite side, other mechas began to hang on the steel cables and slide over, first Ji Mo's Jackdaw, then Yuan Miao's Titan Raider, and then Quinn's Red Monitor.

Seeing that the four mechas had successfully reached the other side of the crater, Yang Mu breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the people over there were also reinforcing winches on their bodies, preparing to pull Yang Mu's mecha over.

Yang Mu also moved the mecha. Seeing that it still had 15% energy, he made some preparations and waited for confirmation that it could start.

At this moment, a proud voice suddenly came from Yang Mu's public channel.

"Hmph, it's true that we are enemies on the same road."

Yang Mu turned around and looked over, seeing a team of six mechas. It seemed that other teams had already used his team's methods.

Yang Mu frowned, feeling something was wrong, because he immediately recognized the voice on the public channel. It was the arrogant guy named Liu Feng who was driven away by Ji Jin before.
