Chapter 447 - 138: Swift Victory

Hu Ping grumbled, "It’s so unfair."

"They’re in the city, while we’re stuck in the wild zone. The resources they can use are countless," Wu Feiyang sighed.

The swarm of drones was about to form a blockade.

"The wild zone has its own advantages too," drones find it hard to track traces here.

But Hu Ping also felt that there were too many benefits to the city. Initially, Miracle Patchi only needed to defend. If the Vegetable Farmers chose to attack, as long as they survived the first round, they could totally strike back later on.

The Vegetable Farmers discovered the enemy camp, and the audience suddenly realized that saying Su Xiaocai was cheating with such an opening was just ignorant.

It was obvious to all that the situation for the Vegetable Farmers was much worse. Once the second wave of deployment began, the distance would widen even further.

In the city, they just lacked repair parts and tools, whereas the wild zone had nothing at all.

With a grave expression, Hu Ping said, "Let’s head back."

The initial energy in the Mecha wasn’t much, as if they didn’t want them fighting right away.

This wasn’t the place to talk; the two quickly headed back.

At the Miracle Patchi team camp, I with Red Underpants looked displeased as teammates helped clean the Mecha.

It’s dry here; the muddy clumps had hardened on the surface. Without water resources, teammates had to blow them off with fans, but they still couldn’t get it clean.

"Captain, it seems the other side has ventured onto our turf. Should we track them?"

"We can’t track them; just look at our Mecha." The energy consumption was huge. With only two spare energy units, the other three would have to wait for recharging.

"We could have a drone follow them for a while; we have plenty of drones."

"Did the drones we just launched have an effect?" These simple drones didn’t have tracking capability. With Peony gone, their manpower advantage was almost completely erased.

There were plenty of usable materials in the city, but even they required processing for reuse.

Everything takes time.

The Vegetable Farmers still had the mood to wander around. Is this the difference in mindset?

The coach had mentioned that many of the Vegetable Farmers had participated in the Huangyang Star Campaign.

While they, at most, had suffered a few days of hunger.

So, in dealing with crises, they were probably not as mentally prepared as the Vegetable Farmers.

Xiang Cha always disagreed with this notion.

He didn’t think he was worse than the Vegetable Farmers. Given some time, they couldn’t possibly lose.

Xiang Cha actively joined the logistics work along with Lu Ju, while I with Red Underpants stood guard nearby.

Both sides were now in a balanced state.

The audience relaxed a bit, some heading to the restroom, others grabbing a late-night snack.

The two hosts smiled and shared their opinions.

"The previous strike by Ji Heng really thrilled me. I’m not a professional commentator, but I love watching battles between Mecha Masters. I’ve watched a lot of real-world arena fights, but they’re never as fierce; in-network battles have pioneered that."

"Hahaha, I didn’t pay much attention to Da Chun before. But when I saw him fighting with all his might, such an obedient teammate is rare."

Everyone consciously avoided mentioning the muddy mess, which was really embarrassing.

Sometimes the Vegetable Farmers left people speechless, so much that they didn’t want to support them, yet every time they watched, they’d be impressed by their shamelessness.

On the other hand, Li Shanchun’s wasteful use of Nutrition Pills drew some criticism from netizens, as expected.

"Currently, on the field, Nutrition Pills are in surplus, but I don’t think promoting the concept of wasting them is right."

"Hmm, this situation isn’t good."

"You call this waste? They brought the supplies back. It’s their right to use them as they please, isn’t it?"

"I’m not saying Da Chun wasted the Nutrition Pills. I just find the allocation of resources in this venue unreasonable. It’s too detached from reality."

"No, these Nutrition Pills are of poor quality. They’re just one yuan per bottle wholesale, tasting awful. Any random bottled water is more expensive, okay?"

"In reality, materials like this are distributed, lots of food and minimal survival weapons. If you’re still puzzled, you can really go experience life on the mining stars."

"I feel heartbroken watching, knowing it’s a virtual world, but there’s nothing to criticize."

"There are two sides to every story; if it leads to reflection, it’s good."

"Why should I reflect? I’m so poor that I measure my water usage daily. Though I don’t drink Nutrition Pills, I can turn one radish into two meals. What can I possibly reflect on? Reflection never comes from the people spamming comments about waste, but from those wealthy enough to lack any sense of waste."
