Chapter 68： Attack on the return journey

After the assessment was over, Xiao Tianhan did not return to Federal University immediately. Instead, he asked the students to take a day off at the base and leave early tomorrow morning.

Resting in the base naturally costs points, staying, eating, and buying souvenirs. After a while, everyone noticed that the ranking list had changed again. Many teams with close rankings just spent more points during the break, and the ranking came. After an exchange of up and down, the people who immediately provoke another spit in the class group, swearing that the base is too dark.

Twelve o'clock at night.

Xu Peng came to the door of the inspection room, and saw that the light inside was still on. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. He pushed the door in and saw a thin figure stepping on the elevator to change parts for the mecha.

"Yan Hao?" Xu Peng felt that his back looked a bit like Yan Hao, so he tried to shout.

Yan Hao was changing the parts of Manniu's leg joints. He was startled when he heard someone calling his name. He almost couldn't hold the spanner in his hand.

"Xu... Senior Xu Peng?"

"Scared you? Sorry." Xu Peng smiled.

"No, it's okay." Yan Hao scratched his head in embarrassment. It was obvious that he was timid, so how could he let others apologize to him.

"Isn't it about to leave for Capital Star tomorrow? Why are you still here so late?" Xu Peng raised his head and asked.

"Some parts of Cheng Xuechang's mecha are broken, and I'm replacing him with new ones." Yan Hao said.

"I heard that you spent a lot of points buying parts these days."

"Well, I can't learn maintenance at home, so I bought new parts for fear of repairing them." Yan Hao said, turning around and continuing to tighten the last two screws of the parts with a wrench, and waited to be sure that there was no problem. , And then manipulated the elevator to fall back to the ground.

"Why don't you go back to school and change it? The parts in the base are more expensive than the outside." Xu Peng asked.

"I want to fix it before I go back. Both Barbarian Bull and Black Soul are intact before I come. Then it can't be broken when I go back." Yan Hao smiled.

"You are right. As a mecha maker, you must always keep the mecha you are responsible for in the best condition." Xu Peng nodded with satisfaction, "Then go ahead and rest early when you are done."

"Yes."

Xu Peng didn’t say anything. He nodded and left the inspection room. Yan Hao pushed the ladder to the other side of Manniu and started to replace the worn parts on the other leg. He stayed busy until a little bit before Yan Hao would rest in the dormitory. .

The next day, half past eight in the morning.

The students who had eaten breakfast gathered again in the square. After a night of rest, their spirits were much better, and they were now in the queue full of energy.

"When everyone is there, let's get on the spaceship." Xiao Tianhan counted the number of people and motioned for the students to start boarding the spaceship.

"Yes."

Returning to the city is much easier than before, and Xiao Tianhan didn't say anything to the students in the spacecraft, just let them arrange the time to return to the city by themselves. The students also consciously went back to their rooms to rest in accordance with their room arrangement when they came.

It takes three days to sail from Huangxing back to the capital. It is impossible to stay in the room for three days. Yan Hao rented an inspection room from the spacecraft and plunged in again when he was okay. For three meals a day, Sheng Heng will deliver them on time.

"It's dinner." The next night, Sheng Heng brought dinner into the inspection room and reminded Yan Hao to eat.

"Oh, wait for me." Yan Hao smiled at Sheng Heng, then continued to remove the parts in his hands, until they were all removed, then clapped his hands, got up and walked in the direction of Sheng Heng.

Sheng Heng had already arranged the food. Seeing Yan Hao came over, he passed a pair of chopsticks over naturally, and the two of them sat together to have dinner.

"Senior, what is this?" Yan Hao asked curiously, seeing a big box still on the table.

"Gift." Sheng Heng smiled.

"Gift? For whom?" Yan Hao asked.

Sheng Heng didn't speak, his eyes looked at Yan Hao helplessly and funny.

"For... for me?" Yan Hao reacted with hindsight.

Sheng Heng simply put down his chopsticks, moved the box next to it, and opened it, revealing a cold-glow inside that looked like metal, but it looked strange.

"What is this?" Yan Hao didn't recognize this thing.

"You really forgot." Sheng Heng sighed.

forget? Had Senior Sheng Heng mentioned it to himself before?

"A week ago, I asked you..."

"The front paws of the Zerg?!" Yan Hao immediately remembered when he heard the prompt, "This is the front paws of the Zerg?!"

"Yes." Sheng Heng explained, "it should have been given to you two days earlier, but the body fluids of the Zerg race are corrosive to the human body. It took me two days to clean it up, and then I brought it to you."

Yan Hao put down half of his dinner, and he leaned to the side of the box and said curiously: "This is the front paw of the Zerg. This is the first time I have seen it."

In the last life, Yan Hao spent almost all of his time in the laboratory. He had never been to the battlefield. All his knowledge of the Zerg came from news reports. Later, I went to the military sanatorium, where it was used as a residence for wounded soldiers, and the military was even less likely to allow the Zerg to invade there, so this was the first time that Yan Hao had come into contact with the Zerg, even though it was only a front paw.

"But how does it look, it's not as big as you imagined." The front paws are only the length of Yan Hao's forearm, and they don't look like a weapon that can tear the mecha.

"The front claws of the Zerg are stretched to the extreme, up to three meters, but the only thing that is really sharp is the front end of the claws." Sheng Heng explained.

Yan Hao nodded clearly, and then raised his hand to knock on the front paw of the Zerg in the box.

"Don't move! What are you doing?!" Sheng Heng was startled, and grabbed Yan Hao's hand that was about to knock, his voice inevitably louder because of his emotions.

"I want to try the hardness of this thing." Yan Hao explained.

"I told you just now, this thing is the sharpest, why are you knocking it with your bare hands?" Sheng Heng was speechless.

"I'm sorry." Yan Hao lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

"To knock, use a tool." Sheng Heng got up and took a metal wrench from the side and handed it to Yan Hao.

Yan Hao took the wrench, and his whole body became alive again, holding the wrench to the front paws of the Zerg in the box, and knocking it clatteringly. Hearing the crisp metal crash, Yan Hao exclaimed, "If it weren't for you Tell me that this thing is a Zerg front paw, I must think it is some kind of metal."

"He is harder than many metals, and with the evolution of the zerg, the sharpness of the front paws will also evolve." Sheng Heng said regretfully, "I originally wanted to cut off the front paws of the sixth-level mutant insect. For you, but I was in a coma at that time."

"This is already very good." Yan Hao asked Sheng Heng to bring a Zerg front paw back, only to mention it casually. Seven days later, he himself had forgotten this matter, but he didn't expect to say something casually. Sheng Heng really brought him back. Even when hunting the sixth-level mutant insects is so dangerous, he was still thinking about this matter. This feeling of being valued is far greater than the gift itself.

"Thank you, senior."

"You're welcome." Seeing that Yan Hao liked it, Sheng Heng became happy.

Yan Hao was like a child who got a new toy. He kept tapping the front paws of the Zerg with a wrench. For a while, the inspection room was full of knocking sounds. After knocking for a long time, Yan Hao seemed uncomfortable, suddenly stood up holding the box and ran away.

Sheng Heng was taken aback, got up and followed.

I saw Yan Hao ran to a place where the metal shell of the mecha was placed, and then wrapped the upper end of the Zerg’s front paws with the flannel in the box, eagerly using the Zerg’s front paws as a long knife, and slammed toward the metal shell of the mecha. Chopped it down.

The front paws collided with the metal shell, and there was a clear metal collision sound. Yan Hao was shocked by the counter-shock force because of the excessive force. Sheng Heng saw him and stepped forward in two hurried steps to hold him back. .

"Be careful."

"I'm okay, let's see if the metal shell has been cut open." Yan Hao happily went to see the metal shell he had just cut.

Yan Hao leaned over and touched it. After checking for a long time, he couldn't find any gaps in the metal shell. He was immediately disappointed: "Why there are no traces at all, isn't it possible to tear the mecha shell?"

Sheng Heng walked over amusedly and stretched out his hand towards Yan Hao: "Give me the front paw."

Although Yan Hao didn't know what Sheng Heng was going to do, he subconsciously gave his front paw to Sheng Heng.

"Back." Sheng Heng motioned to Yan Hao to avoid.

At this time, Yan Hao had already faintly guessed what Sheng Heng wanted to do. He got up excitedly and hid away. As soon as he avoided, Sheng Heng held the Zerg's front paw and severed it towards the vertical metal shell.

With a "brush", Yan Hao only felt that the black light flashed in front of him. The metal shell that he couldn't cut a trace just now was split in two before his eyes.

"This... is it cut?" Yan Hao looked at the metal shell that was divided into two, and then at Sheng Heng, his eyes full of admiration, "Senior, you are amazing."

"Nothing, I am stronger than you." Sheng Heng said modestly. The mecha warrior's physique is much better than that of ordinary people, but not everyone can cut the metal shell with bare hands. Because of a hand injury, Sheng Heng has spent much more time on his physique since he was a child than he has spent on cultivating his spiritual power, so his physique is also considered strong among mecha fighters.

"Senior, the front claws of the Zerg are so sharp, so why doesn't the Federation collect the front paws of the Zerg and use them as weapons?" Weapons with an anti-Zerg shell, then the Federation will be much easier in the fight against the Zerg.

"Although the front paws of the Zerg are hard, they are not really metal in the final analysis. After the death of the Zerg, these front paws will also begin to degenerate. At most one week, the hardness will decrease, and they will break if you apply a little force." Sheng Heng explained .

"I see."

At this moment, the spacecraft shook violently, and Sheng Heng noticed that something was wrong. He grabbed Yan Hao's hand for the first time, dragged Yan Hao against the wall, and then supported the wall with his hands, protecting Yan Hao with his body.

With a "bang", a part of the mecha slammed into a place not far from the two of them, because the impact was too strong, the parts of the mecha were directly hit and scattered, and the screw spring flew to the ground. One of the screws was swiped, and it almost flew past Sheng Heng's forehead. Yan Hao was sweating coldly all over his body as he watched this scene.

"Senior." Yan Hao exclaimed.

"Don't move!" Sheng Heng shouted in a low voice.

"Beep, beep~~~" The harsh alarm sounded suddenly, and Xiao Tianhan's anxious voice came from the radio.

"The spacecraft was attacked by interstellar pirates. All mecha fighters gathered on the deck, ready to fight."

Interstellar pirates? !

At this time, the vibration of the spacecraft was much smaller. Sheng Heng made a decisive decision, pulled Yan Hao and rushed out of the inspection room, found a room nearby, and pushed Yan Hao in: "You hide here, I'll go take a look outside."

"Senior, be careful." Yan Hao didn't say much, but just ordered to be careful.

Sheng Heng nodded, left the room and ran towards the deck.
