Chapter 183

The viewers on the livestream were stunned at the sight of this scene.

Viewer 1: Wait ...... wait! What's going on here? What's with this big metal tiger that appeared out of nowhere?

Viewer 2: If I understand correctly, this should be a mecha too. But how can a mecha look like this? 

Viewer 3: Objectively speaking, this is definitely a mecha, but subjectively, I can't believe that a mecha looks like this. Can a mecha that looks like this be controlled smoothly?

Viewer 4: I think you are overly worried upstairs. From the way the big metal tiger is running, this mecha must be quite easy to control, at least for Cheng Yi.

Viewer 5: I'm sure Cheng Yi is embarrassed to be driving such a strange mecha in front of so many people. I'd be looking for a crack in the ground if it were me.

Viewer 6: But there's nothing he can do about it. He knew his companion’s mecha was about to be scrapped, so he had to help out.

Viewer 7: Is no one curious as to how Cheng Yi brought this mecha into the competition?

Viewer 8: Curious +1, the contestants are scanned before the competition starts.

Viewer 9: You're too kind to the competition officials. They couldn’t even discover such a big mother zerg on the map. What else do you expect them to find?

............

Although the discussion quickly returned to the mother zerg, the unexpectedly odd mecha at least managed to attract some of the attention and relax the crowd a little bit.

But the military brass, who were also watching the scene, were much more serious than the viewers in the studio.

They had never seen mechas of this form before, but that didn't stop them from taking a keen interest.

The eyes of the middle-aged man in the centre of the room glowed slightly and then spoke in a deep voice: "Open the scanning system immediately and check the structure of this mecha."

A simple three-dimensional diagram of the mech's structure soon appeared in front of everyone.

But even the military's scanning equipment could not scan further than the surface structure of the mecha without the permission of the owner.

So all they could see was basically the same as what they could see with their eyes, and they couldn't even analyse what kind of metal the mecha was made of.

The more they could not see, the more curious they became.

Someone wondered, "What is this mecha all about? It doesn't look like a mecha at all, but it's so strange that the pilot can drive it smoothly."

Someone exclaimed, "It's amazing how the surfaces of this mecha are perfectly fused together! There isn’t a single gap in between! It's just so clever. "

Someone said, "It just looks strange. I can't understand why someone would make such a meaningless mecha. "

Someone commented, "Although we don't know the material composition of this mecha, his current movements show a level of flexibility that is far higher than that of ordinary mechas."

...........

The discussion on this mecha only stopped when the video screen showed the white tiger mecha stopping in front of the humanoid mecha.

After getting familiar with the mecha, Cheng Yi returned to Lu Chen's vicinity and returned to his human form to start his next plan: "We know too little about the mother zerg, so we should take the initiative instead of waiting around."

Lu Chen, who was always radical, became the conservative one at this point: "But shouldn’t we not take action because we know so little?"

No matter what a person's character is, when faced with life or death, he or she will truly feel the fear and choose to give in.

"Even if we wait for the rescuers, they may not know more about the Mother Bug than I do," Cheng Yi's voice was cold, but there was a convincing strength in his tone.

Cheng Yi did know a lot about the Mother zerg, at least no less than the others. Otherwise, he would not have been able to deduce that the hidden secret was probably the Mother Zerg.

But he had never thought that this would be a real mother zerg instead of a simulation.

Lu Chen was speechless for a while. He had always been a strong person, but he was unwilling to listen to someone else's orders at this time.

If the other party's decision was wrong, should he be buried along with them?

Cheng Yi continued, "It has been 4 minutes and 37 seconds since you launched your attack. The mother zerg seems to be stable, but it is most likely planning a major attack."

Lu Chen refuted, "What you said is not fundamentally wrong. Isn’t the situation stable since it hasn't attacked for such a long time? "

" The stability of the mother zerg depends on many factors. With the strength of your attack and the disturbance of the surrounding zerg, it is impossible that the mother zerg’s attention wasn’t attracted. But it didn’t launch a mental attack for only one reason. " Cheng Yi deliberately paused for a moment and continued, " This is an absolutely unfamiliar environment. The mother zerg knows not to act rashly. It should be familiarizing itself with the new environment and judging whether there is any greater danger. "

Lu Chen had never considered this kind of situation before, so he couldn't help but be a bit dumbfounded: "So it should have already decided that there is no danger here, right?"

The mother zerg won’t attack with her spiritual power since there is no danger, right?

"What makes you think she has judged that there is no danger here?" Cheng Yi snorted, but his tone did not fluctuate, "There are three mechas not far away from it, and there is a rescue team coming in from outside this planet. Does that mean there is no danger? "

"But ...... but ......," Lu Chen stuttered, but he couldn't find the words to refute. Although his knowledge of the mother zerg was not as good as Cheng Yi's, he had read the relevant information.

The mother zerg’s mental power could attack an area wider than a planet, so one could imagine how strong its spiritual power perception is and how extensive its range is.

It could sense any danger in the area, and this will determine whether the mother zerg will launch a spiritual attack next.

In fact, the mother zerg are often very cautious in launching mental attacks and will only attack at the cost of their lives when they feel a real threat.

At present, the mother zerg is undoubtedly in a state of crisis.

Even if Lu Chen did not want to believe Cheng Yi's words, he could not find any words to refute them. His mind was blank and another layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He finally gnashed his teeth in anger and finally said, "Who the hell put the mother zerg on this map?"

Even though this is not the time to discuss this issue, one could easily guess that someone must have deliberately swapped the mother zerg to create the current situation.

But the person who switched the mother zerg was still unknown.

Cheng Yi ignored this comment and just continued his analysis, "According to my understanding of the mother zerg, the calmer it behaves, the greater the attack we will have to endure later. So are you sure you don’t want to listen to my arrangement and continue to wait for death here? "

A layer of cold sweat had already appeared on Lu Chen's forehead: "I…I.." I don't know.

Although he could not refute Cheng Yi's words, he was still holding on to the hope that he would be safe if he waited a little.

Even if they had to take action, it shouldn't be now. There were only three of them here. It would be difficult to do anything. It would be better to wait for the rescuers to arrive and then make further plans. Besides, the people from the military would be able to provide a more comprehensive plan.

Lu Chen gradually convinced himself and reached out to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, "Let's wait a little longer; the rescue personnel should be here soon."

Cheng Yi sighed without surprise, but he couldn’t help but frown. He didn't think the rescuers would be of any help to them, but he had already said it once; he could not repeat it again.

An Yan at the back of the white tiger couldn't help but turn back into his human form and ask, "Senior, can I help?"

Cheng Yi was silent for a moment and replied, "If you use a mecha, can you ensure your safety?"

An Yan could use the mecha, but Cheng Yi didn’t want to take risks. His worry was not improper operation of the mecha; rather, he was afraid that An Yan himself might get hurt.

But it would be difficult to travel freely among the zergs without the protection of the mecha, at least for real humans.

An Yan had not come into contact with the zerg race before, so it was hard to give an answer to this question, "I don't know, but I should be able to do it. Why don't we try it and see."

Cheng Yi hesitated. He would have made a decision right away if it concerned him. But it was a different story when it came to his partner.

He was hesitant, not only because he was worried about his little one getting hurt, but also because he didn't want to expose his treasure to the others.
