Commander Lin, we have dispatched a Patrol Team composed of experienced Mechanics. Their skills are commendable, and even if they encounter the top-tier Elite Mechanical Beasts in the White Zone, they should be able to handle it as long as the numbers are manageable. You need not worry; they will definitely bring Lu Ziye back.
However, the assistant's reassurance did little to comfort Lin Wu, who paced anxiously in the combat hall. The situation was dire; this elite Patrol Team from the Dragon Kingdom was capable of addressing many issues, but the Beast Tide was a different matter altogether.
Every mech has its combat limits. Even if they are all classified as high-tier mechs, what happens when facing an Elite Mechanical Beast? If one can manage it, what about the others? It is exceedingly difficult!
Moreover, the Dead Zone in the White Zone is expanding rapidly and is on the verge of engulfing the entire area. Humanity's connection to the White Zone will be completely severed. The hope of rescuing Lu Ziye now rests solely on the Mechanics of the Patrol Team.
Lin Wu was Commander, and under no circumstances could he abandon his post; that would be a capital offense. He wished he could go out himself to search for Lu Ziye. He needed to keep a close watch on the movements around the International Headquarters and ensure immediate support for any returning members of the Patrol Team. After much hesitation, Lin Wu could only feel helpless.
At that moment, a soldier rushed in urgently.
" Commander, two Mechanics piloting mechs attempted to rescue Lu Ziye but were intercepted by us. How should we handle this?"
Who? Wan Hao and another from their team—both Master Mechanics.
Lin Wu closed his eyes and waved his hand dismissively. "Let them return and reflect on their actions. This matter will not be pursued further."
"But Commander," another voice interjected, "many Mechanics from Lu Ziye's school have petitioned at the command center, hoping to participate in the rescue operation."
"Nonsense! This is a Beast Tide! Do they think it's a vacation? Get them all out of here!"
"Yes, sir!"
In the lounge of the International Headquarters, Liu Xin'er and Wang Keke watched as Mechanics hurried back and forth, their faces filled with anxiety.
"Keke, did you know? Lu Ziye is trapped in the Dead Zone! So many classmates have petitioned to participate in the rescue."
"What? The Dead Zone? Has a Beast Tide really occurred? Going in there now would be suicidal!" Wang Keke exclaimed in shock, unable to believe how things had escalated.
"Exactly! Keke, do you understand how crucial strength is? If we had let our friendship with our classmates hold us back and hadn’t left that team back then, we could very well be in his position now, needing national resources for rescue. But look at us now—we’ve reached high-tier levels! After issuing a warning, even when we encountered an Elite Mechanical Beast, we managed to shake it off thanks to our teamwork. That’s what strength means!" Liu Xin'er’s eyes shone with determination.
Wang Keke nodded vigorously. "Sister Xin'er, you’re absolutely right! But so many classmates have gone to petition; if we don’t join them, won’t we seem unsociable?"
"Keke, you really don’t learn your lesson! Remember this: geniuses are destined to be lonely and think differently from others. It was precisely because we thought differently that we left that team and achieved what we have today. Are we really going to go back down that old path?" Liu Xin'er countered.
I understand, thank you, Sister Xin'er.
After the Beast Tide, we need to accelerate our hunting speed and enter the Gray Zone as soon as possible.
Sure!
In the Dead Zone, Lu Ziye sprinted back to the Level Area after slaying dozens of Mechanical Beasts. He couldn't help but think how he had eagerly wanted to enter the Level Area, only to be forced back by the Beast Tide. It was truly frustrating.
At this moment, Lu Ziye felt a sense of crisis for the first time, as Mechanical Beasts surrounded him from all directions—ordinary ones, Elites, they were everywhere. Even in Tian Ku Read's video lessons, he had never seen such a large number of Mechanical Beasts.
Although the order in the Level Area was disrupted after the Beast Tide outbreak, it was still far more dangerous in the High-Level Area compared to the Lower Area.
