Chapter 671: Chapter 444 He’s Still Alive!
“I am Macka, the largest director and CEO of the Southern Country Industry Group from the Barnard Star System. My visit here is solely to express our standpoint and to hope for involvement from the Yin Consortium in the rescue operation. Because both our rescue targets align and the rescue target is connected to the trade between the Southern Country Industry and the twenty space technology firms from the Barnard Star System and your planet.”
The young man with curly hair and a radiant smile was now solemn-faced, bowing with formal etiquette: “Please, Colonel He, allow us.”
Hearing Macka’s words, He Gang’s brows furrowed deeply as he watched the two in front of him for a long moment before speaking, “So, your rescue is purposeful? Whom are you looking for?”
“My friend, my brother, the combat Mechanical Master from Loki Heavy Industry—Mu Fan.” Yin Shuai’s eyes were bloodshot, and at this moment, the depths of his gaze were filled with madness and restlessness.
“Hmm, he is also the lifesaver I owe for participating in this competition.” Macka nodded calmly, his face having been devoid of any smile since his arrival.
“Mu Fan? Isn’t he already dead?”
The image of a resolute young man flashed in his mind at the mention of those words. Initially, he didn’t know this kid, but the direct reason for the Gatepost Knight Solomon’s appearance seemed to be because of this kid.
Without Solomon’s sudden appearance, perhaps all the dizzying and chaotic events that followed wouldn’t have happened.
Moreover, Ruan Xiongfei, the Madman, is so unsteady that he actually intended to pilot the Thunderhawk directly to engage with the Mecha Association in a fierce battle! If it wasn’t for the headquarters’ immediate air interception of the Thunderhawk, today’s incident would have escalated into a diplomatic conflict.
And Mu Fan was none other than Madman Ruan’s Direct Disciple.
Hearing the words “dead” uttered from the other side, White Hair’s body shook slightly, and his fists crunched, as the blood in his eyes deepened once more.
“Alive, I want to see him; dead, I will retrieve his body.”
White Hair’s voice was decisive, but the depths of his pupils flickered with uncontrollable sorrow.
Taking a deep breath, Colonel He passed back the Councilman’s special order, nodding his head: “You may proceed, but your rescue equipment must not carry any weapons to enter, and you must share the area surveillance video with the Federation military.”
“Of course, that’s acceptable. Thank you, Colonel He.”
White Hair bowed slightly and Macka bowed alongside him.
The command to pass was finally relayed, and as White Hair and the others left, they saw Colonel He greet another two groups of people on the other side.
The leader of those groups was a young man with a cold, stern face…
From the distant and mysterious lands, the Yin Consortium, the deeply hidden family influence of White Hair, was at last revealing the tip of the iceberg.
The Silver Sealing Guard, a fleet of small ships shining with silver light, caught the attention of many soldiers below as soon as they appeared in the airspace of this region.
For those ships were too luxurious and eye-catching.
They appeared almost silently, their refined exterior armor and mounting slots, and the pale white special tail flames all testified to the sophistication and uniqueness of these ships.
Following them, a complete set of rescue equipment emerged on the ground, including biological rescue vehicles, all-terrain climbing gear, aerial transporters, and unmanned drone swarms…
Even those members in silver-white uniforms, solemn-faced and meticulous, looked more like soldiers than they; nearly from the moment they emerged, they eclipsed these regular Marine Corps members in both spirit and hardware.
Without any delay, the ships and rescue machinery formed up and moved forward in formations that spanned both the ground and the sky.
At this moment, in the triangular, silver spacecraft, White Hair stood with his hands on the console, veins popping on his forearms, eyes unwaveringly fixed on the screen in front of him.
Behind him, a group of young men and women watched silently ahead…
Wang Nuonuo’s delicate face was marked with two lines of un-dried tears, and in those unfairly swollen eyes was a glimmer of hope, her fingernails deeply embedding into her palms.
Big brother, Nuonuo owes you… only by you being alive can Nuonuo repay you.
The girl was probably the one who had changed the most among these companions.
No one knew what turmoil had occurred in the girl’s heart during those moments of rapid changes. No one knew what Wang Nuonuo had been through in the past two days, nor what Mu Fan had experienced.
In this moment, the girl’s gaze turned distant and hazy, her heart already setting on a resolution.
…
“Detection radius 5 kilometers, not found.”
“10 kilometers, not found.”
“20 kilometers, not found.”
…
Record after record continuously appeared. Although the entire area serving as the tournament ground had been covered by billowing smoke, the Silver Sealing Guard still precisely laid out each scene in an orderly sequence before everyone.
White Hair still had that expressionless look, and Li Xiaoxi, watching behind him, couldn’t help thinking that perhaps this was his true self.
“Continuing the search. 71 mechas entered the contest, 29 survivors have been found so far, 13 have been confirmed dead, the list is as follows…”
With Colonel He Gang’s silent approval, data from the Federation was also compiled and brought in.
When the list appeared, several young men and women’s hearts skipped a beat, but they persisted in reading on.
One unfamiliar name after another appeared… no, no, still not there!
Finally, when the last name appeared, that familiar name was still missing!
A light known as hope began to shine in the eyes of everyone present.
At that moment, an urgent signal fluctuation appeared on the screen, and the solemn voice of a member of the Silver Sealing Guard was heard.
“An abnormal energy fluctuation detected ahead, it’s closing in, confirmed to be a weapon with an odd appearance. Continuing the detection…”
A long spear, intertwined with flame red and frost blue, suddenly emerged from the thick smoke!
The voice of the Silver Sealing Guard members remained as calm as ever, yet this time, the scene instantaneously made everyone’s hair stand on end.
Because… they knew this weapon all too well.
“Flame Rain Frost Blue!”
Wang Nuonuo suddenly cried out.
“The Extreme Special Soldier must be nearby, the cockpit, the cockpit!”
The girl’s delicate hands were already covered in blood, and her long eyelashes began to tremble uncontrollably.
Regardless of the outcome, she now only wanted to see!
“Lock down the area! Search for any… visible pieces of mecha, wreckage, cockpits around the weapon! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find it for me!”
Yin Shuai’s fists heavily pounded on the control panel, and a distorted, near-hoarse voice came from his throat.
“Yes, Young Master!”
“Report to Young Master, black mecha wreckage found 218 meters away, central area damaged.”
“Report to Young Master, cockpit discovered 410 meters away… the shell is cracked.”
“Sensing heat source discovered, infrared scanning successful, human silhouette found inside the cockpit.”
When that dark, damaged cockpit appeared on the screen, tears were already streaming down everyone’s faces.
Mu Fan, was found.
And moreover, he was still alive!
