165: Chapter 165: Support (Second Update) 165: Chapter 165: Support (Second Update) “Okay, let’s find a way to get onto the island.”
Qian Chengxue nodded in response.
“How about this, you guys land from the northeast side of Sea Breeze Island, where there are relatively fewer monsters.
Just as Lei Keming was instructing Qian Chengxue and the others, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as puzzled and astonished inquiries came over the communication channel.
“Lord Lei Keming, this is not good….”
Then, the communication became extremely noisy followed by a complete interruption.
“What’s the situation?
Is the communication device broken?”
Qian Chengxue and the others were also slightly startled.
Su Mo frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
“Sister Xue, we are adjusting….”
Zi Qing immediately responded, starting to check the devices.
“Sister Zi Qing, something’s not right; our device seems to be unstable again.
It seems like some source of interference has awakened, and it’s getting stronger!”
Zhang Wenjing was astonished as she looked at the malfunctioning instrument in her hands, anxiously telling Zi Qing.
“My device is also malfunctioning.”
“I’m having issues over here too.”
One operator after another reported in panic.
Zi Qing took a deep breath, reporting to Qian Chengxue, “It seems that an unknown interfering object has awakened.
It’s not just the communication that’s malfunctioning; our devices are too.”
“Can we still contact Lord Lei Keming and the others?”
Qian Chengxue pondered for a few seconds before asking.
“It’s going to be difficult.”
Zi Qing shook her head.
“Sister Xue, what do we do now?
Wait a little longer?”
Sun Li asked, growing more anxious.
Since we can’t get in touch, something bad must have happened.
And the situation on Sea Breeze Island doesn’t look good at all.
We came here to provide support; no matter how bad it gets, we have to go up.”
“Zi Qing, navigate the ship around to the northeast side of Sea Breeze Island; we’ll make a landing there.”
Qian Chengxue decisively made the decision.
Zi Qing immediately maneuvered The Crane Orchid to circle around!
Qian Chengxue turned to look at everyone, weighing the situation multiple times before speaking, “Once we reach the northeast side of Sea Breeze Island, Lin Zinuo and Zi Qing, your people will stay on The Crane Orchid; the injured will also stay behind.
Everyone else comes with me to the island.
Are any of you afraid?”
We swear to follow the Legion Leader to the death.”
Sun Li and the others said firmly.
Su Mo then spoke, “Should I come along too?”
“Yeah, Su Mo is very strong in combat, too.
Sister Xue, take him along.”
Even Sun Li spoke up for Su Mo.
Qian Chengxue looked at Su Mo and responded lightly, “Su Mo, your mecha is severely damaged and not suitable for single soldier landing operations.
You stay on The Crane Orchid; it needs your protection.”
Su Mo didn’t say much more.
If needed, he wouldn’t shy away.
If not, there was no need to crowd in.
With the current situation at Sea Breeze Island likely being very bad, the dangers inside could be imagined.
Without a mecha, he might just end up as cannon fodder.
“Alright, that’s settled then.
Oh, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.”
Just as Qian Chengxue was about to proceed, she suddenly stopped again as if she had remembered something.
“What’s the matter, Sister Xue?”
Zinuo asked with a serious expression.
“After sending us up, you’ll stand by on the perimeter, but if it really comes to the worst, then you don’t have to wait for us, just take The Crane Orchid back to the guild.”
“Sister Xue…you can’t be in trouble, what will happen to the Tenth Legion if something happens to you?”
Zi Qing and Lin Zinuo both had slightly moist eyes, they didn’t understand why everything that had been progressing positively had changed so suddenly.
“Enough, don’t talk about anything else, the main task is urgent, everyone start preparing immediately!”
Qian Chengxue raised her hand and interrupted the two.
Not long afterward, The Crane Orchid approached to the northeast side of Sea Breeze Island, where Su Mo and the others all gathered on the deck.
Su Mo, deep in thought, looked at the Sea Breeze Island in front of him, finally understanding why Lei Keming had said there were fewer monsters on the northeast side—it was a high, steep cliff.
If he were a monster, he would probably not choose this side to land on—it was naturally a strategically defensible and difficult to attack area.
At that moment, Qian Chengxue, piloting the Dawn Guardian, grabbed a rope in her hand, went full throttle, her huge frame slightly crouched, the jet propulsion device on her back activated, and the next second she rushed up.
About ten minutes later, the rope had been secured.
Sun Li waved her hand and gave the order to everyone.
Each team member then secured the rope to the railing and climbed up along it. Official source is novel⚑fire.net
Whether male or female, they were all incredibly agile.
Su Mo watched this scene and nodded.
It was no wonder they were the elite picked by Qian Chengxue, each of them extremely skilled, arguably stronger than regular professionals.
At that moment Zhang Ru and others quickly shouted.
On the cliff, Qian Chengxue responded swiftly and simply.
Brothers, let’s go up!”
After hearing the response, Zhang Ru was overjoyed; their mission this time was to provide support.
Now they were at Sea Breeze Island, and if they shrank back like turtles, that would be unacceptable!
Meanwhile, Ye Wei and Sikong, who followed aboard the Soaring, also put on their Single Soldier Mechanical Armor.
They too picked up grappling hook launchers and fired the ropes up!
Ye Wei had been holding back a fire inside her.
This support mission had allowed Qian Chengxue to steal all the limelight, which she was very unhappy about.
Now that everyone was about to land on the island to provide support, it was still uncertain who would complete the mission first.
The elite players behind Ye Wei each grabbed a rope and climbed up with proficiency that was in no way inferior to Qian Chengxue’s subordinates.
In a way, all the supporting players were excellent.
It was just a pity that the ship’s capabilities were limited, and most of them had gone down with their sinking ships, which was indeed very unfortunate.
On the deck of The Crane Orchid, Su Mo and the others watched Qian Chengxue and her team leave, falling into silence.
Those left behind didn’t feel any relief but rather a sense of regret, and the pressure they felt became even greater.
“Alright, everyone, cheer up.
Although we’re staying behind, we must be more cautious.
There are monsters all around us, and although their attention is on Sea Breeze Island, we can’t rule out the possibility that they suddenly go nuts and turn their focus on us.”
Lin Zinuo said to Zhou Qian and the others.
Zhou Qian and the others responded in unison.
“Dismissed, everyone get back to your duties.”
Zi Qing waved her hand to the crowd.
Su Mo didn’t stay on the deck any longer; he headed towards the hangar.
Soon he arrived at the hangar, where he saw the Azure Mecha riddled with scars, with Qin Wang and several others having stripped half of the Azure Mecha’s armor.
