"Here, here!" Lu Ziye shouted as he unleashed the Blood Cry Sabre, a red energy slicing through the air like a blade of wind, surging wildly in all directions. The Violent Cannon, having rested, was now at full attack speed.
Why was it at full speed? Even though Lu Ziye was at a lower level, the Energy Progress gained from the Mechanical Beasts was substantial due to their overwhelming numbers. He had already leveled up significantly. At this moment, even if he killed an Elite Mechanical Beast, he wouldn't receive any attack speed rewards.
The good news was that the Energy Core's Firepower Index had surged again, and Lu Ziye felt as if he could finally hold his ground in this Level Area. Previously, Mechanical Beasts would occasionally rush at him, and even if he killed them with the Blood Cry Sabre, he had to roll around to avoid their attacks. But now, Lu Ziye could not only handle their ranged strikes but also push them back. The number of Mechanical Beasts up close had decreased, and he no longer needed to roll around.
I’ve survived! Lu Ziye thought joyfully.
Just then, amidst the sounds of gunfire, he heard a strange noise that resembled a loudspeaker from the village square. "We can’t hold on any longer! The Level Area's assault has become more ferocious; we request a retreat!"
No! We can't abandon the mission; we must not retreat! Guardian Mecha, hold your ground! Raider Mech, kill them—kill them all!
Was that the language of Dragon Kingdom? Were there still experts trapped like me? Regardless, they were all from Dragon Kingdom. The voice originated along his retreat path, so Lu Ziye quickly moved in that direction.
As he approached, he activated his defenses and shouted, "Hey! Brothers from Dragon Kingdom? I’m also from Dragon Kingdom; shall we head back to International Headquarters together?"
As soon as Lu Ziye finished shouting, the voice on the other side immediately responded, though it sounded a bit choked. "Huh? Is that you? Is it Lu Ziye? We finally found you!"
"Is it really you, Lu Ziye? How are you still alive? This is fantastic!"
"Captain, it's Lu Ziye!"
"Thank heavens we found you!"
Lu Ziye was completely stunned. Why were there people hoping for his demise? Was that polite?
He quickly charged toward the source of the voice and finally saw who they were: members of the Dragon Kingdom Patrol Team, all Mechanics above level one. They were surrounded by a relentless swarm of Mechanical Beasts in a desperate defensive formation.
"I’m Lu Ziye. Are you here looking for me?" Lu Ziye approached while fending off the attacks of the Mechanical Beasts and communicating with them.
The voice of the Patrol Team leader carried a hint of helplessness.
"My Live Father, are we really here for a vacation? Please, pay attention! The Beast Tide is upon us, and we need to hurry to the International Headquarters. A Death Order has been issued from above; we must rescue you. However, it seems unlikely that we will make it back. Right now, all we can do is gamble with our lives. We’ll hold our ground and see how long this Beast Tide lasts. If our mechs’ Durability holds up before the Beast Tide stops, then congratulations, we’ll all be saved. But if the Beast Tide strengthens or lasts too long, we’ll be consumed bit by bit."
"What??? Lu Ziye, I didn’t expect the Patrol Team to be this weak! Level Area? I could break through here on my own!" He blurted out, "No, brothers, don’t say such gloomy things. I’ll get you out!"
All Patrol Members: ???
"Do you think you’re funny? We came here to rescue you! If you weren’t trapped here, we wouldn’t have come at all. And now you think you can save all three Patrol Teams by yourself? Isn’t that ridiculous?"
Seeing that none of the members reacted positively, Lu Ziye guessed what they were thinking. Time was tight, and there was no room for explanation. He charged directly towards the enemy's direction with incredible speed while shouting, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work! Now I’ll clear the way for you all—follow me!"
