Chapter 114: Meeting On a Narrow Road (1)
Beep! Beep! Beep…
The red light in the landing cabin flashed, and the alarm sounded.
Under the pull of gravity, the landing cabin fell rapidly.
“Lord Human, hold me tight!” BB staggered to her feet and said hurriedly, “We have to jump out quickly!”
Chen Yu did not waste any time and directly hugged BB’s back.
“You can’t hold the back! Hold the front!”
“Okay.”
He immediately hugged BB in front of him.
BB also hugged him tightly, and the two of them were completely stuck together.
“Hold on tight!”
After saying that, BB hugged Chen Yu tightly with both hands, and her legs suddenly exerted force. Instantly, she passed through the thick smoke and jumped out of the cabin.
Buzz–
In the rapid descent, another beam of light shot into the sky and completely destroyed the back half of the landing ship.
Boom!
The hull of the ship suddenly exploded. The rising fireballs ‘hit’ tens of thousands of metal pieces and spread in all directions.
“Be careful!”
BB gritted her teeth, turned in the air, and used her back to protect Chen Yu.
Swoosh– Swoosh– Swoosh–
In the next moment, more than ten sharp pieces of the hull passed through, splashing blood on BB’s smooth back.
“Are you alright?” Chen Yu immediately asked when he saw blood oozing out from the corner of the BB’s mouth.
“Yes.” After wiping away the blood, the BB pressed down on her own cochlea and gave an order.
The mecha that was automatically patrolling beside the landing ship immediately whizzed over. The chest door opened wide and loaded the BB and Chen Yu inside.
Creak–
Following that, the chest door closed.
Chen Yu propped himself up and heaved a sigh of relief. However, he realized that something was wrong. “This position… Hmm… how do you control it?”
Previously, he was in the lower position and BB was in the upper position.
He was only acting as a meat cushion and did not affect BB’s ability to open the mecha.
But now, he was in the upper position and BB was in the lower position. There were many parts in the mecha that the other party could not reach.
“Lord… Human, please turn around.”
“Okay.”
Inside the narrow mecha, Chen Yu turned around with difficulty. He changed from the position of hugging BB to sitting on BB’s body.
“If you move forward a little, I’ll try to reach the control stick.”
“Okay.”
Chen Yu obediently leaned forward, his face pressed against the transparent glass.
“I can reach it.” BB hugged Chen Yu with both arms, her fingertips pinching the control stick. “But it’s not very convenient.”
“How about…” Chen Yu thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, “Let me do it?”
“You… Do you know how to do it?”
“I saw you control it for so long before. You should be able to learn the basics. It shouldn’t be a problem for you to just fly.”
“Then… you should give it a try.”
The BB still had injuries on her back. If she stretched her arm too far forward, she would feel a sharp pain. Seeing that Chen Yu was eager to give it a try, she nodded and retracted her hand.
Pa!
Grabbing the control stick that was similar to a glove, Chen Yu moved his butt excitedly. Following the image in his memory, he slowly pushed the main engine.
Hu–
The spurting flames turned from blue to white, and the mecha’s speed instantly soared.
“I know this is propulsion. What is this quantum reflection?”
“It blocks the location of the quantum signal,” BB explained.
“What about the DOA?”
“The projectile body automatically tracks.”
“What about the gears biting and peeling? Oh, this definitely can’t be touched…”
“Yes.”
“Three-dimensional detection and air pressure adjustment. Needless to say, self-destruction is literally self-destruction, right?”
“Yes…”
Chen Yu’s expression was solemn. “I must not touch it.”
BB: “It’s fine as long as you don’t touch it…”
Grabbing the joystick tightly, Chen Yu looked left and right. “What do we do now? Are we going to meet up with the mecha of Unit B5?”
“No!” BB clenched her fists. “Hurry up and run! There will definitely be follow-up attacks from the alien server!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mecha system sounded an alarm.
[Warning! Large number of F-Type 89 aircrafts detected approaching!)
(Warning! Large number of F-Type 89 aircrafts detected approaching!)
Chen Yu looked towards the mech-assisted cursor.
He saw a ‘dark cloud’ in the sky to the east.
That ‘dark cloud’ was made up of densely packed drones…
Chen Yu turned to look at BB. “This little mouth of yours can reach the heavenly court directly.”
“Lord Human, run quickly. Those enemy units will be blocked by Unit B5.”
“Okay.”
Chen Yu took one last look at the mecha escorting him. He pushed the main engine to the top and controlled the mecha to turn into a burning meteor, escaping from the sky.
Bang… Bang… Bang… Bang…
Under the rapid speed, the intense friction with the air caused the mecha to tremble once again.
Only this time, Chen Yu was much more comfortable.
Was there a seat that was more run than the girl’s smooth thighs?
Having temporarily escaped danger, Chen Yu asked with concern, “Are your injuries alright?”
“I’m fine.” BB stood up and pulled out the three pieces of debris on her back. The pain was so great that her face was covered in sweat. “As long as my motherboard isn’t damaged, the injuries on my body can quickly heal themselves.”
“Do you feel pain too?”
“Yes.” BB nodded. “Pain is the highest level of alertness. As a combat unit, pain is essential.”
“Oh… Then you also feel something slightly lighter than pain, right?”
“Yes.”
“Advanced, advanced…” Chen Yu gave a thumbs up. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked, “Do you all have organs that humans have?”
“Yes.”
“Then what’s the difference between you and humans?”
“How can we compare to the Honorable Lord Humans?” BB couldn’t help but laugh. “We’re just clumsy imitators.”
“As a human, I personally feel that you guys…” Chen Yu had a hidden meaning. “Have already surpassed humans.”
“We’re just robots. We’re not even considered living beings.”
“Aren’t machines living beings?”
“No,” BB answered affirmatively.
“Then…” Chen Yu’s eyes sparkled. “Do you have a mind?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of mind?”
“The ability to compare, analyze, abstract, summarize, judge, reason, and synthesize by observing the environment, things, and events.”
“Is there any difference from humans?”
“The difference is very small,” BB answered seriously. “When we were created, we used the thinking template of human adults.”
“So…” Chen Yu spread his hands. “Isn’t this life?”
“…No.”
“This thing eats like a duck, smells like a duck, and looks like a duck. How is it not a duck? You have emotions, thinking, learning ability, and faith. This is life. And it’s a high-level life.”
Hearing this, BB lowered her head and thought for a long time.”…No. My logic is applied, my emotions are simulated, and my form is made…”
“With your strength, I’m sure you’re a life.”
“But…”
“Okay! That’s the end of the topic.” Chen Yu waved his hand and turned his head to look back. “I saw something chasing after us.”
BB also turned her head to look. “There’s nothing.”
However, half a minute later, a red flame appeared faintly.
It was actually a high-speed Glory Mech!
“This…” BB was shocked. “You… You can see it from so far away?”
“Heh, it’s better than your camera, right?” Chen Yu was proud. “With this look of mine, I know clearly what to eat for dinner, what to wear, and what to eat.”
BB: “…”
Huff, huff, huff…
Not long after, the mech approached and connected to Chen Yu through the radio. “Can you hear me, Lord Human?”
“I can hear you. And you are?”
“I am CF.”
“Who is CF?”
“I gave you a tube of T-D Diluent…”
“Oh!” Chen Yu suddenly understood. “I remember, commander of the B5 Glory Unit!”
“Yes.”
“Then why are you here?”
“The F-Type 89 aircraft behind us is blocked, but I’m guessing that in this direction, you might still encounter an ambush…”
Just as he finished speaking, the ground ahead suddenly bulged.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
Amidst the terrifying earthquake, a huge object slowly rose into the air, blocking a quarter of Chen Yu’s field of vision.
Chen Yu: “…”
“I guessed it right.” The bald commander gritted his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds.
Chen Yu: “This mouth of yours…”
