In a dim corridor somewhere on the Feng Niu Hao, a massive figure limped forward.
Chandler was still alive.
All the combat armor behind and to its right had vanished, exposing the charred flesh beneath.
Its left leg and right hand were gone, leaving only bare stumps, green fluid still dripping from the wounds.
Large areas of skin were scorched, giving off a pungent stench of burning.
In places, white bone showed through, with metal shards still embedded in it.
Yet it clutched the golden sphere in its arms with a death grip.
Mecha Secret Treasure.
This was something it had traded its life for, now completely unharmed, still radiating a soft golden light.
On its left arm armor, that Da Ba Ba still hung on barely.
The barrel had been twisted by high temperature, its only remaining use being to support its walking.
Chandler propped himself on the ground with the Da Ba Ba, limping forward.
Every step left a bloody footprint.
It endured the Green Skin Pain, walking forward without stopping.
It reached the cockpit at the very front of the Feng Niu Hao.
This was a cabin so crude it could not be more crude, but its control authority was even higher than the Bridge.
The entire control panel had only a few control sticks, a pane of glass through which the outside could be seen, and a red switch.
Chandler threw itself against the glass and looked outside.
Kal II was right before its eyes.
Its Dingxi, its last hope.
It used its last remaining Ice Cold Power to press down hard on that red switch.
The Feng Niu Hao shook violently, as if it were about to break apart.
The massive horned beastman prow at the bow began separating from the hull starting from its root.
The rear energy system activated, the one-shot booster ignited, this massive horned beastman head.
Was actually an independent Escape Pod, prepared by Chandler for just such a situation.
It broke away from the Feng Niu Hao, like a Bao Dan fired from a cannon, flying toward Kal II.
Its speed was ridiculously fast.
Almost instantly it shook off the Feng Niu Hao's wreckage.
Leina Jingzhe stood on the deck of the Feng Niu Hao, feeling that point of light growing ever farther away.
The emotionless Monster actually sighed at this moment.
She did not pursue.
This body had already reached its limit, Leina Jingzhe began slowly losing her vitality.
She ultimately still failed to complete her Mission.
Chandler watched the chaotic Battlefield behind through the Escape Pod's monitor screen.
It saw the Feng Niu Hao slowly sinking, fire still spewing from the large hole blasted open in its side.
Those Grot still fighting were being attacked from both sides.
And that damn Empire Cruiser, its Light Spear Array on the flank was still glowing.
It gripped the Mecha Core in its arms, bone-deep Hatred flashing in its eyes.
"Wait."
Its voice was hoarse and weak, but filled with mad Killing Intent.
"Wait till I get back, build a real big one..."
"I'll definitely come back and tear you all apart."
There were still over ten thousand meters.
Once it entered Kal II's Air Defense Zone, it would be safe.
The range of those Air Defense Zone turrets just covered that area, any pursuing enemy ship would be blasted to pieces.
It had already begun calculating which arm to fix first after getting back.
Just then, an Empire Ship appeared on the Escape Pod's flank.
It was a Turbulence-class Frigate, the fastest reconnaissance ship of the Imperial Navy, now rushing toward it at full speed.
The rear booster spewed blazing Flame, firing at him while charging straight at its Escape Pod.
The posture was as if it were Undying.
"Damn it!!!" Chandler spat out a mouthful of blood and Brugga, cursing loudly.
It couldn't figure out where this crazy Shrimp came from, and could only keep working the control stick, trying to make the Escape Pod accelerate.
But those one-shot boosters had been at maximum speed since ignition, the needle on the speedometer didn't budge.
And that Escort Ship was getting closer and closer, it was about to ram into it right away.
Luna stood on the bridge of that Turbulence-class Frigate.
Her whole body was covered in green liquid, sticky and stinking.
A deep wound ran across her face, inflicted just now when she personally led the team to deal with that fleeing cruiser, but she had no time to bandage it.
Her eyes stared fixedly at the escape pod drawing ever closer, her gaze filled with longing.
"Faster!" she roared, "Full speed! Give me full speed!"
The frigate's captain no longer dared to speak.
The Void Shield's readings were plummeting madly, Kal II's anti-air firepower pouring down like a rainstorm all around the hull.
With every hit, the whole ship trembled, and alarms blared everywhere.
But Luna had not the slightest intention of ordering a retreat.
She stared fixedly at that escape pod.
Luna knew what Lin En had just done; the survivors on the Precept Ruler told her what had happened.
A blue bug-shaped monster had been sent to assassinate Chandler, but it failed.
Now Chandler was badly crippled, and this was the best opportunity.
She could not let Lin En enjoy all the greatest credit alone.
She wanted to personally capture that War Boss and personally obtain that "Mecha Secret Treasure."
She wanted to prove that she was the protagonist of this expedition, not that Governor who only knew how to hide behind the Bug Race.
"I can touch it soon." A mad smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
On the Peak Black Radiance, Lin En saw this scene through long-range observation.
He fell silent for a few seconds, then softly spat out six words: "Truly doesn't want to live."
The captain beside him asked, "Adult, should we go help...?"
"At this distance, it's too late." Lin En shook his head.
He really couldn't understand: if they truly wanted to achieve merit so badly, what were they doing at the beginning?
Inside the escape pod, Chandler felt some despair.
That damn Shrimp Escort Ship was about to ram into him.
At most thirty seconds left, and it would either capture him or smash him into fragments.
There was no way; now Chandler could only pin his hopes on that Second-in-Command who didn't get along with it.
It knew Sis was sent by Lianggenna specifically to monitor it, and they looked down on each other.
So it had never given the other a good face, but now, the only one who could help him was Sis.
It madly slapped the control panel, roaring into the communication device:
"Sis! Sis! I know you can hear me, quickly help me get rid of this tail!!!"
That communication device could only connect internally within its Guard Company and could not reach that psychic head at all.
But Chandler knew Sis could hear it.
That damn psychic head, its psychic perception could cover the entire Core Area and even extend to Kal II's Middle Level.
This was also what it hated most about Sis—it was practically being visually violated by him all day long.
So it must have heard its cry for help.
But the other party ignored it.
"Damn it!" Chandler continued to roar.
"Lianggenna still needs me to hold Kal II! If I die, Lianggenna will be disappointed!!"
Sis still ignored it.
Chandler's heart sank to the bottom of the Ice Cold Valley.
