At that moment, everyone realized that Lu Ziye was not joking; he truly possessed that level of strength. He had single-handedly forged a relatively safe path through the Level Area. This path led to the Level Area, and as long as they reached it, the intensity of the Beast Tide would continue to diminish, allowing them to enter the Level Area quickly, making the subsequent journey increasingly safe.
"Follow his lead! Everyone, unleash your firepower!"
Three Patrol Teams closely trailed behind Lu Ziye. He was responsible for clearing the way while the Patrol Teams dealt with any remaining Mechanical Beasts to ensure a clear passage. Gradually, the group advanced and finally entered the Level Area. At that moment, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
I finally understood why Commander Lin insisted on risking everything to rescue him. With a Mechanic like him, he was truly the future and backbone of the Dragon Kingdom. The captain of the Patrol Team exchanged a fist bump with Lu Ziye during a brief pause in their battle against the Mechanical Beasts.
"Heh, sorry for worrying the leaders. But this time, the Beast Tide developed too quickly. I accidentally wandered into the Dead Zone and, with my lack of experience in the wild, by the time I realized it, I had gone too deep. I’ll be more careful next time," Lu Ziye said as he severed several Mechanical Beasts' heads.
"Next time it won’t be us saving you; your strength already surpasses ours. It’s terrifying how powerful you are at your current level." The captain had never imagined that a Mechanic at this level could outgun one at a higher level; it was absurd.
"We're almost at the Level Area! We're safe now!" Lu Ziye pointed towards the south; he was very familiar with this place, having previously charged through here with great enthusiasm on his way to the Level Area.
"Thank you for saving so many of our brothers' lives," said the captain sincerely, without any sarcasm.
"It’s because of me that this happened; I should be thanking you all. You nearly lost your lives. If anything had happened to you, I would feel guilty for life," Lu Ziye replied solemnly.
"That’s not right; this isn’t our first rescue mission. No matter who it is, we would have fought to save you. Of course, excluding those Mechanics from the Western Alliance; we just go through the motions there—only when someone dies do we care." It was evident that most Mechanics from the Dragon Kingdom harbored significant resentment towards those from the Western Alliance.
As they reached their level, everything fell into place. Although there were still numerous Mechanical Beasts here, their overall strength had diminished again, allowing the Squad to handle them with ease.
In the command tent of the main camp, an excited roar shattered the silence.
"Commander Lin! News! The Patrol Team has arrived, and so has Lu Ziye!" The assistant was unusually excited and couldn't wait to share this news with Lin Wu.
Lin Wu clapped his hands together and exclaimed, "Fantastic! The Patrol Team certainly did not disappoint. Let’s go out and see!"
Outside the camp, alumni from Binhai War Academy surrounded Lu Ziye tightly.
"Brother Lu! You finally made it!"
"Brother Lu is amazing! You went in and out of the Beast Tide seven times!"
"The Patrol Team is incredible! In the White Zone, there’s nothing they can’t handle!"
Lu Ziye also cupped his hands to the crowd and said, "Thank you all for your concern."
To be honest, he felt a bit embarrassed. He never expected that his first moment of fame in the camp would come from accidentally wandering into the Dead Zone and then being rescued by the Patrol Team.
At that moment, Lin Wu rushed out, saying, "Come on, come on, Wu Jun! You’ve done a great job rescuing Lu Ziye this time!"
Lin Wu was referring to Wu Jun, the young captain of the Patrol Team who led this rescue operation. He was very young, only in his twenties, and already a captain of a level-1 Patrol Team.
However, what Wu Jun said next left everyone, including Lin Wu, utterly astonished.
" Commander, you’ve misunderstood. The Patrol Team was also trapped in the Level Area, surrounded by Mechanical Beasts and unable to advance. It was Lu Ziye who discovered us and rescued us together."
Everyone: ???
The rescuers were saved by the very person they were trying to rescue?
Countless Mechanics were left in a state of confusion.
