Chapter 884: Chapter 44: Mecha Engineer New Mei

The two of them continued to move toward the interior of the base.

At first, they passed through a green ecological park, which was used to grow fruits, vegetables, and other crops.

However, now due to the influence of the Crimson Light, the plants had withered, leaving a desolate scene.

Zhang Xiaoman’s gaze swept over the oversized aquarium, where the fish were nowhere to be seen, and only a large expanse of algae remained.

Compared to terrestrial plants, these algae, although unremarkable, were the last hope for this planet.

The harm brought by the Crimson Light was far more than just mutation.

Although it couldn’t infect plants without consciousness, under such light, these flowers, grass, and trees couldn’t survive and had all died.

Fortunately, Guleng Star was similar to Water Blue Star, with most of the oxygen supplied by algae.

And algae inherently didn’t require much sunlight, were able to produce a large amount of oxygen, and had the natural protection of the water’s surface.

This allowed the survivors on this planet to avoid extinction due to low oxygen levels in the air.

Walking along this aquarium, the two entered a corridor, and at the end of the corridor was another fallen alloy door sealed shut.

Zhang Xiaoman repeated his previous technique to open the door, and immediately felt a sense of vastness before him.

Behind the door was a huge space, several hundred meters in both length and width, and over thirty meters high, even a Light Ball from a Flash Spell could hardly illuminate the whole area.

Not only that, to Zhang Xiaoman’s delight, in front of him, in this enormous space, stood two mechas, twenty meters high.

The two mechas were entirely off-white, one placed on the left and the other on the right of the area, looking imposing and menacing, just like the ones seen in various animated movies, exuding a beauty of strength.

“This is the workshop where we dock our mechas, and these two are Guardian-class, specialized in guarding and defense, specifically designed to repel exotic beasts in the wild.”

Sol introduced the two giant machines to Zhang Xiaoman as they walked.

Zhang Xiaoman was very interested and listened intently all the way.

“It’s a pity that due to this damned Crimson Light, these two mechas are already scrapped, otherwise, at least we could have given those Mutants a taste of their power…”

Sol shook his head, his face full of regret.

A glimmer of light flowed in Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes, clearly having a different plan.

The mechas couldn’t be used here, but it was different on Water Blue Star.

He could take these things back and set them up on Water Blue Star, which would significantly enhance human strength there.

However, the problem now was that he seemed unable to take them back intact.

Even though he had the Ability to Teleport, the mechas in front of him were too large to translocate with his Teleport.

To bring them back, one way was to dismantle them into pieces, transport them back as parts, and reassemble them on Water Blue Star, allowing humans there to successfully possess such a powerful weapon.

But, this was something he and his team couldn’t accomplish alone; he needed professionals in this field; otherwise, even bringing in the top researchers wouldn’t help.

“New Mei was my best comrade, once a Genetic Warrior too, but she suffered permanent leg damage during a mecha-driving mission, later changing careers to become a Mecha Engineer…”

Sol said beside him.

Zhang Xiaoman took notice of his words, showing interest.

“You mentioned New Mei, she’s a Mecha Engineer? That means, she should be very skilled in installing these things, right?”

Sol was taken aback, not understanding why the other person would say this but nodded:

“Yes, many Mecha Engineers are former Genetic Warriors, as only those who have piloted them can truly understand them… New Mei might not be the top expert, but in this area, she is already a rare talent, installing such Guardian-class mechas would be no issue for her…”

Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes lit up immediately, feeling as if someone delivered a pillow just when he felt sleepy; he had been worried about having no one to help him transport these things, and it turned out there was a Mecha Engineer nearby.

The reason for his reaction was that along the way, he had discovered something different in this underground base.

About fifty meters ahead, behind an iron door, there was a figure sitting there, judging from the shape, it seemed to be a woman.

If he guessed correctly, that woman might just be Sol’s so-called “best brother.”

“Maybe your girlfriend isn’t dead…”

He gazed intently at a certain spot ahead with golden light shining in his eyes.

When Sol heard him mention “girlfriend,” a somewhat embarrassed expression crossed his face.

But upon realizing the content of the words, he couldn’t help but show a look of surprise and anticipation.

“This, Lord Jixing, are you serious? She’s, she’s just ahead…?”

Now, after witnessing the series of abilities displayed by the other party, Sol unconsciously addressed Zhang Xiaoman with a respectful title.
