Chapter 182 

"There is no need to cut off the broadcast at this point. It might cause more disturbance. " The appearance of the mother zerg was no longer a secret. Instead of letting the public think freely, it was better to lay everything out in front of them.

The young man nodded and was about to say something when a quiet voice suddenly came over the electronic screen: "The military doesn’t need to send rescue personnel."

The words sounded a bit absurd, but they made everyone in the conference room turn their attention to the source of the voice.

The person who spoke was Cheng Yi.  Although he knew it was impossible to get any response, he continued, "No matter which party is responsible for this incident, neither the military nor the competition officials can help our situation in any way. Instead of putting more people in danger, it is better to terminate the rescue operation. " 

To put it bluntly, sending rescuers would be like sending people to their deaths if the mother zerg really attacked.

And if the mother zerg doesn't attack, it will have no impact whether those people come or not. 

So, in the end, these rescue efforts were objectively unnecessary. They were just a way for the military or the competition organizers to make a statement, telling the viewers that they would not stand by and do nothing, no matter who is to blame for this problem.

But such a statement was only for the benefit of others and was of little use to those involved.

There was no way to effectively prevent the mother zerg from launching an attack, nor would they be able to withstand it, let alone take the three away safely.

But even if what Cheng Yi said was true, it still made all the attendees in the military conference room frown.

"Who is this young man?" The young man from before asked with a frown.

Lieutenant General Lu snorted, "Don’t you even know the grandson of the old Marshal Cheng, the eldest son of Lieutenant General Cheng?"

The young man stopped talking when he heard that this person had such an identity. Leave alone General Cheng, it was enough for people to be afraid when they heard "old Marshal Cheng."

Although the old Marshal has been out of the military for many years due to physical and mental problems, anyone who joined the military would have heard of his reputation.

Although he was happy to see his opponent suffer, General Lu could not agree with Cheng's words, so he did not take the opportunity to make more sarcastic remarks. 

Cheng YI’s words were not only being discussed in the military conference room but also in the live broadcast.

Viewer  1: Don't say that, Cheng Yi. The military has sent help, so they will not let anything happen to you!

Viewer 2: Although boss Cheng Yi’s words are too blunt, they are true. It’s a mother zerg. If it wants to launch a spiritual attack, even a whole regiment can’t stop it at all.

Viewer 3: I want to cry again. Is there really no way to solve this problem now?

Viewer 4: We can only pray that the mother zerg doesn't feel threatened, so that it won't attack. 

Viewer 5: I'm feeling helpless for the first time. I know what the problem is, but I can't find a solution. Why is this happening? I'm really struggling now!

......

Even though Cheng Yi was blunt and they all knew that what he said was true, the military and the competition organizers could not stop the rescue mission just because of these words. Although they were aware that their rescue efforts may be in vain. 

As the rescue work continued, the discussion on air never stopped. The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze, every minute and every second, as if it had been a century in waiting.

Lu Chen felt as if his brain had been placed on this planet and any movement from the outside world would pull on his nerves, causing him to be instantly shocked.

Cold sweat broke out layer after layer. He wanted to turn around and run for his life countless times, but he saw Cheng Yi standing there, and he silently dismissed his thoughts.

But the anxiety in his heart kept deepening. Even though he knew that the mother zerg’s mental attack had a very wide range, he should at least try running, right? Isn’t it waiting for death just standing there?

Worst of all, although the majority of the zergs were surrounding the mother zerg, there were still some jumping around his mecha, causing the damage to increase at a very slow rate.

His mecha will be destroyed if this continues!

But it would be humiliating if Cheng Yi insisted on staying here while he turned around and ran away. So Lu Chen could only hold his anxiety down.

Just as another layer of cold sweat broke out behind Lu Chen's back and the negative emotions in his heart were building up and almost bursting out, Cheng Yi suddenly sent a communication request.

Lu Chen quickly pressed the connect button as if by reflex, and immediately heard Cheng Yi's calm voice come through: "How much damage has your mecha received?"

Although he felt humiliated, he couldn't care less about the current situation. Lu Chen gritted his teeth and replied, "It's at 97.21%."

His mecha’s damage level was not that high, but it was attacked several times when he eliminated Lin Dong, which was why his mecha damage level had increased so quickly.

Cheng Yi didn't say anything about this figure, but said without much expression, "I'll give you the mecha we're using and a few potions An Yan has made. You should be able to last for a while."

Lu Chen was startled. He did not expect that the other party would offer his mecha and even give him a few SS-grade potions. But Lu Chen thought of another problem and said, with a pause, "No need."

He was indeed a proud person, but he would not show his pride in such a dangerous situation. Lu Chen refused because Cheng Yi and An Yan would be directly exposed to the dangers of the outside world if they gave him their mecha.

He wasn’t being considerate, but he knew that he’d be scorned by countless people if he did. Even he would despise himself.

Cheng Yi guessed what Lu Chen was thinking and said, "Don't worry, I have a mecha that I can use."

From the time his little one gave him the ring and the White Tiger mecha, he had been carrying them around with him, and the competition was no exception.

Although this is theoretically true, the competition officials conducted comprehensive tests on the contestants to prevent them from bringing in things that should not be brought into the tournament. However, they never detected the space button on Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi himself was a bit surprised by this. But since the competition officials had not detected this, he would naturally not be foolish enough to hand over the ring his little one gave him.

Lu Chen heard this and said with astonishment, "You're carrying other mecha on you?"

Cheng Yi didn't explain much, but only urged, "So do you want to use our mecha?"

Since the other side had another mecha to use, Lu Chen didn't bother and simply said, "Thank you."

The two sides found an area that was almost free of zergs and quickly completed the handover of the mecha. And it was at this point that Lu Chen saw the mecha Cheng Yi had brought onto the field for the first time.

At first glance, Lu Chen didn't even recognise it as a mech. Rather than calling it a mecha, it was more of a giant white tiger statue made of metal.

Lu Chen was directly dumbfounded: "What... what is this?!"

"This is my mecha," Cheng Yi explained simply, before turning to An Yan, "Is Yan Yan ready?"

An Yan nodded obediently, "I'm ready."

Cheng Yi sent An Yan to the back of the White Tiger mecha, where a special resting compartment had been carved out to accommodate one person before he entered the cockpit.

An Yan had specially prepared this compartment for himself.

After entering this space, An Yan changed back to his hamster form as soon as the hatch was closed. The resting pod, which could originally accommodate an adult, very intelligently began to shrink, finally becoming the right size to accommodate a hamster.

In this way, An Yan's presence was almost nothing to this huge White Tiger mecha, so that it would not interfere with Cheng Yi's piloting.

An Yan would not have any discomfort even if the White Tiger mecha was in high intensity combat mode.

Besides, An Yan could check the situation outside at any time, so he was not really trapped in the dark space.

After settling the little one, Cheng Yi immediately opened the hatch and leapt into the cockpit.

The spiritual connection was completed a few seconds later, and the originally lifeless giant metal tiger eyes suddenly lit up, reflecting a blinding metallic light, and a dazzling glow surrounded the mecha.

The white tiger tilted its head back and roared, before running across the planet's surface like a real white tiger under everyone’s dumbfounded eyes.
