Duan Hengye briefly greeted Yu Xinran and then walked out of the medical room.
By now, half of the people on the starship had already left this place, heading to the interstellar battlefield along with Meng Jinhuai. All of a sudden, this gigantic starship suddenly fell silent. Because the medical room was very close to Duan Hengye’s residence, this time Duan Hengye didn’t take the hovercraft, but walked back.
Unlike the usual noisy corridor, because most of the people had already left, the corridor was no longer filled with the sounds of footsteps and chatter coming out of the cabin, and it became extremely quiet. Duan Hengye heard the sound of his own footsteps ringing clearly in his ears, different from before. This time, he was particularly panicked.
It was only after hearing the footsteps that Duan Hengye realized how panicked he was now. But… nothing had happened now. Duan Hengye stood in the open corridor, then slowly reached out his hand and placed it on his chest. He felt that besides the sound of footsteps, his heartbeat wasn’t very regular.
“It’s fine ……,” Duan Hengye couldn’t help but mutter. He wasn’t a person who would easily get nervous because of an inexplicable thing, but right now, Duan Hengye was not only getting nervous over Yu Xinran’s words just now, but he was also comforting himself in an unusually childish manner.
Although Duan Hongye hadn’t seen the ending chapters of Dumping Interstellar, in his impression, whether it was from the author’s own introduction or from the calm comments section, he didn’t seem to be able to see anything about the final battle. After thinking about it, Duan Hengye’s heart fell a little.
He thought that when the last battle took place in the book, there were no new mass-produced mechas or top-class mechas like Nanwei. Although the Ye Tian Empire faced fewer enemies at that time, its own strength wasn’t as strong. Since Meng Jinhuai in the original story was able to cope with it smoothly, he would definitely be able to do the same this time.
Just …… although this comforted him, but there was still a deeply buried stealth bomb in the deepest recesses of Duan Hengye’s heart – that was himself.
That’s right, it was Duan Hengye himself.
Whether it was the new mass-produced mecha and the top-class mecha “Nan Wei”, or the final battle that was started in advance, and the four more enemies than in the original story, when he thought about it, he realized that all of these plot changes seemed to be due to his appearance. He had actually thought of this point long ago, but he didn’t dare to think about it …… deeply.
Now that Duan Hengye stood in the doorway of his room, he first took a hard, deep breath and waited until his breathing was a little smoother before he reached out his hand for identity verification and then entered the cabin.
It had only been more than an hour since Meng Jinhuai had led the Ye Tian Empire’s army to the interstellar battlefield, and after Duan Hengye had returned to the cabin, he realized that there didn’t seem to be anything he needed to do at this time. After standing quietly for a while, Duan Hengye finally sat down in front of the desk, and then turned on the light device and began to track Meng Jinhuai’s mecha’s condition in real time.
The lights in the starship’s cabin were able to automatically sense movements, and after Duan Hengye entered the door. The cold white light lit up and illuminated the corners of the room. Duan Hengye didn’t like dark environments, but this kind of illumination caused him to panic for no reason.
……
At this time, his office desk was lit up with two light screens at the same time. One of them was the real-time monitoring of Meng Jinhuai’s mecha’s operation, while the other was the notification interface of the military department’s intranet.
Since Duan Hengye’s authority was very high, he was able to understand the battle situation just by looking at the battle notifications on the intranet. However, because he was more accustomed to caring about the data of the mecha, over a period of time, Duan Hengye would often accidentally ignore the notification interface on one side. But the light screen over there also had a special prompting device set up, so if something big happened, Duan Hengye would be able to shift his line of sight over to it at the first time through the prompting light reminder on it.
Duan Hengye saw that the current condition of Meng Jinhuai’s mecha was still in good shape. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the wa.r hadn’t started long ago, at this time, the mecha’s weapon system wasn’t functioning much, it was just that the mecha was constantly moving its position. While looking at the data of the mecha, he slowly moved backwards and leaned back on the soft leather recliner.
Because his line of sight had moved to a more backward position, Duan Hengye could now see two huge light screens at the same time. Even though he was still mainly casting his sight on the mecha’s activities, from time to time, he would also glance towards the side.
The way Duan Hengye left the medical room just now was really a bit abnormal, but Yu Xinran had just woken up not long ago, so she didn’t have the energy to ask in detail when she saw him leave. And now that the series of examinations had finally ended, Yu Xinran was also allowed by the doctor to look at her light device, and although she couldn’t go out of the medical room for the time being, she still sent a message to Duan Hengye’s light device at the first opportunity.
Of course, Duan Hengye couldn’t easily say what was on his mind at this time, after seeing Yu Xinran’s message, he simply replied to tell the other party not to think too much, and then closed the chat interface. It was also at this time that Duan Hengye suddenly saw Meng Jin Huai’s mecha’s movement speed increase, and at the same time, the weapon system’s operation almost stopped.
What was going on here?
After seeing it, Duan Hengye couldn’t help but sit up straight, and then clicked on the detailed operation. With just one glance, Duan Hengye was able to discover that the mecha didn’t show any signs of injury, and obviously didn’t have to leave the battlefield due to injury. As the designer of the mecha “Nan Wei”, Duan Hengye clearly knew how fast the new mecha could move. Running at such a speed was extremely dangerous and could be said to be a very testing thing for the mecha driver.
Duan Hengye believed that Meng Jinhuai’s side was definitely encountering something right now, or else he wouldn’t be moving at such a speed.
When he looked more closely, he realized that in addition to the speed of movement, Meng Jinhuai’s direction of movement was also constantly changing. What in the world was going on here? After seeing this, he finally moved his line of sight once again to another light screen, from here, using his authority, he could see the distribution of all the military department’s participating mechas.
After a few clicks on the light screen, a picture full of light dots appeared in front of him. The green dots of light on this picture were the mechas that were functioning normally, the red ones were the injured mechas, and as for the …… ones that had already died in battle, they were gray. What could be seen was that almost all of the mechas on this diagram were now lit up with green light, with only a few individual ones flashing red, and looking around, for the time being, Duan Hengye had yet to find a single one that had died in battle.
Although on the left side of the light screen, the operation of the mechas was still weird, after seeing this, Duan Hengye still couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. But …… just at this time he suddenly discovered a bizarre phenomenon. Now, most of the mechas on the diagram were concentrated in the lower left corner, and there was only a lone point of light that was constantly glowing in the right position.
An ominous feeling of foreboding assaulted Duan Hengye. He once again reached out his hand to open the profile of that lone mecha. Then, the words “Nan Wei” appeared in front of Duan Hengye’s eyes.
Could it be that Meng Jinhuai’s mecha was now surrounded? Because Meng Jinhuai was simply too strong, this wasn’t the first time this kind of thing had happened. But before this, if Meng Jinhuai was surrounded, he would usually choose to stay put and break the mechas that surrounded him one by one – after all, the difference in strength was clearly placed there.
But this time, he clearly wanted to leave here at the first opportunity.
Duan Hengye realized that his overly shallow military experience wasn’t enough to support him in figuring out this matter in the first place. He once again clicked on Yu Xinran’s avatar, but after hesitating for a while, Duan Hengye chose not to ask.
It was only at this time that the military department’s system seemed to have checked out Meng Jinhuai’s mecha’s abnormality as well. A dark red light suddenly flashed on Duan Hengye’s light device, and in an instant, the room that was originally illuminated by the light in a deathly white color was suddenly dyed blood red.
Obviously, he wasn’t sensitive to color, but when he saw the light, the word “blood” popped up in Duan Hengye’s mind. He was a bit distracted as he opened his light device, and then he saw that the content interface of this alert clearly read: “Mecha ‘Nanwei’ operation path abnormality!”
It seemed that even the light device of the military department hadn’t analyzed what exactly had happened for the time being, and they had only guessed an approximation through the path that Meng Jinhuai’s mecha was running on.
However, Duan Hengye had apparently forgotten one thing, Admiral Dongfang had joined Meng Jinhuai on his expedition, but Yu Xinran had also awakened from her coma. Therefore, …… this dark red tip was not only visible to him, Yu Xinran was also able to receive it.
This time, Yu Xinran, who had received the hint, didn’t send a message on the light device to ask Duan Hengye. After a few minutes, a sound of footsteps came from outside the hatch that Duan Hengye was in. Then, he received a prompt on his light device requesting to enter the inner cabin- it was sent by Yu Xinran. Although he didn’t want to trouble Yu Xinran, once he thought that her body hadn’t recovered yet, he still hurriedly accepted the request and told her to come inside.
A few seconds later, Yu Xinran appeared at the door of Duan Hengye’s residence along with his assistant, Ye Pu. Because she had just woken up, at this time, Yu Xinran was still wearing her lab coat, and she even needed Ye Pu’s support to be able to stand up. Seeing the other party’s appearance, Duan Hengye couldn’t help but be taken aback, but before he could open his mouth to tell Yu Xinran not to be too agitated, he heard her say as she walked towards him, “Open the map!”
Map? Although Duan Hengye often logged into the intranet, he had never looked at it.
Thanks very much
