Anger surged within them; such behavior could easily lead to their downfall. At that moment, they thought of nothing but following their instincts— they had to save him. Wan Hao handed Lu Ziye a bottle of Happy Water and tore off a large piece of fried chicken leg for him.
"Brother Lu, I know you're strong, but you still need to be cautious when you head into the Gray Zone. The White Zone is mostly under human control, with various rescue and monitoring measures in place. However, the Gray Zone is a real battlefield, where Mechanics and Mechanical Beasts are fighting for territory. The Beast Nests are everywhere, making it extremely dangerous; you must act within your limits," Cai Ji said, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.
Indeed, the Gray Zone was the front line, and the Mechanical Beasts there were on dangerous missions. In the Gray Zone, there were Level Mechanical Beasts, but the opportunities were great as well. Elite Mechanical Beasts had a chance to drop Advanced Components, which could significantly enhance one's abilities. Rumor had it that Lord-Level Mechanical Beasts roamed there as well; those creatures could drop Advanced Components of high caliber—just thinking about it was terrifying.
Wan Hao looked dreamily as if he could see himself equipped with Level Components, exuding confidence.
It was already night, and both of them knew that Lu Ziye would be heading to the Gray Zone early the next morning. Their conversation stretched on for hours, filled with concern and reluctance.
The next morning, the three of them woke up in the Hangar lounge, surrounded by empty soda bottles, unable to suppress their laughter.
"It's frustrating that we're only at this level and can't accompany Lu Ziye to the Gray Zone. We'll level up quickly! Brother Lu, hang in there; soon enough we'll be in the Gray Zone too!" Wan Hao exclaimed as he extended his hand. Cai Ji and Lu Ziye followed suit, stacking their hands on top of each other—a farewell and a promise all at once.
"See you in the Gray Zone! Once we drive off those Mechanical Beasts, we can celebrate with drinks! Even though I don't drink, I will definitely get drunk with Brother Lu," Cai Ji said excitedly.
According to Mechanics' combat guidelines, drinking was prohibited during operations. However, the Western Alliance didn't have such rules; after all, they valued freedom—what was wrong with having a drink? There were even instances where Mechanics from A San Country got drunk on the battlefield and accidentally injured their allies.
The three of them boarded their mechs to send Lu Ziye off. Every morning in Dragon Kingdom, a Starship awaited in the White Zone to transport eligible Mechanics to the Gray Zone.
There wasn't just one Gray Zone; every major Resource Star had its own. However, traveling from this White Zone to the Gray Zone was just next door on a neighboring Resource Star—not far at all. The conditions there were more suitable for newly graduated Mechanics from the White Zone.
As Lu Ziye stepped out of the Hangar in his newly upgraded Mecha, he saw several mechs lined up on either side of the International Headquarters standing tall and straight.
These Mechanics were all alumni from Binhai War Academy—his fellow students.
"Sending off a comrade!" The lead mech shouted loudly as all mechs saluted in unison.
Lu Ziye bowed deeply to all his comrades: "Thank you, everyone!"
Lin Wutian also arrived; he climbed aboard his own mech to send off this talented Mechanic from Dragon Kingdom with a salute of respect.
"Lu Ziye, today marks your graduation from the White Zone. I had planned to send you off alone but didn't expect your classmates to arrive before me—what a surprise! Once you reach the Gray Zone, I hope you continue to fight bravely and help reshape humanity's former glory."
"Thank you, Commander! I will do my best."
"Here, this is a gift from the Sakura Kingdom, the Wan Soul Crystal. Take it; you will definitely find it useful in the future." Lin Wu transferred the Wan Soul Crystal from the mech management system to Lu Ziye.
Upon seeing the Wan Soul Crystal credited to his account, Lu Ziye was taken aback. "Sakura Kingdom? What does that mean?"
Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that only Lu Ziye and his two companions, who had been chatting in the Hangar yesterday, were unaware of the news. The entire International Headquarters already knew that the Commander of Sakura Kingdom had passed away.
After hearing the whole story, Lu Ziye broke into a sweat. The Sakura Kingdom Commander was truly too generous, sending him a Soul Crystal as a parting gift.
"Why not accept it? Perhaps these Soul Crystals will help us soar in the future and deal a blow to Sakura Kingdom's Mechanics."
It was indeed a strategy of using one’s enemy against another.
The starship arrived, sailing smoothly through the skies! Lin Wu glanced at the massive starship breaking through the clouds in the distance and offered his final farewell.
Lu Ziye boarded the starship and waved goodbye to everyone. As the starship carried Lu Ziye away into deep space, everyone knew that while they were bidding farewell, he was embarking on a journey toward the stars and the sea of galaxies. The Gray Zone was merely a starting point.
