The exterior armor of Fengwu 2 was riddled with holes, and enemy aircraft relentlessly attacked the damaged areas!
"Stop it!" Qiao Weiwei cried out in terror, piloting Fengwu 1 and charging forward. The massive Unit 1 crashed into Unit 2, embracing it with its arms and attempting to flee.
The enemy aircraft would not give them a chance!
Six enemy machines swooped in from both sides, fiercely assaulting the elbow joints of Unit 1's arms, aiming to sever them.
"You want to die, you scum!!!" Qiao Weiwei roared.
The rear armor of Fengwu 1's back opened, unleashing a barrage of missiles towards the enemy aircraft.
It would have been better if she hadn't fired the missiles.
As soon as the missiles were launched, the enemy aircraft discovered a weak point on Fengwu 1 and concentrated their attack on the interior of the opened armor on either side of the back thrusters. Numerous Black Star missiles flew towards Fengwu 1, followed by the enemy aircraft.
More than ten explosions ignited on Fengwu 1's back, and the six Black Star enemy machines followed up, their beam swords stabbing into the explosion sites.
After this onslaught, Fengwu 1's arms lost the strength to hold the heavy Unit 2. Its grip loosened, and Unit 2 began to plummet into the sea!
"Weiwei, catch it!"
Rui Zi, at a critical moment, quickly maneuvered her mech, forcibly detaching its left arm and tossing it into Fengwu 1's embrace.
The six enemy aircraft swiftly ascended, charging towards the falling Unit 2.
Twelve black beam swords cut a large opening in the waist armor of Unit 2. Three enemy aircraft immediately burrowed inside, and the sound of metal destruction emanated from Fengwu 2, with countless metal fragments and parts scattering out of the breach.
The other three enemy aircraft landed on the body of Fengwu 2, gripping their beam swords and stabbing furiously at the chest armor! They aimed to destroy the cockpit!
"Weiwei!!! Fire at me!!!" Rui Zi suddenly let out a brave and fearless cry, completely at odds with her usual demeanor!
"No!!" Qiao Weiwei shook her head in panic, speaking softly, "No, how could I fire at you... we are the best of sisters!"
Rui Zi knew Qiao Weiwei would never do such a thing, but there was no time to lose. If they didn't deal with the enemies now, and they destroyed Fengwu 2, it would be troublesome to find the others later!
At this moment, Liu Feng and Tao Na were battling two high-threat enemy aircraft.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Lifang was entangled with two high-threat enemy aircraft.
Gu Ya was surrounded by eight enemy aircraft.
A tear suddenly streamed down Rui Zi's delicate face, but she quickly wiped it away and, with the most resolute, brave, and steady voice, shouted, "Run! Run!!!"
"Fengwu 2 self-destruct sequence initiated successfully. Countdown: ten seconds, nine, eight, seven..."
In the final seconds, Rui Zi simultaneously activated the simplified mode. The massive mech trembled, slowly bowed, and extended its right hand, attempting to grab the three enemy aircraft near its chest.
However, the enemies quickly took flight, evading Fengwu 2's grasp.
"That's fine too, being able to take three with me..." Rui Zi smiled contentedly, saying, "Weiwei, say hello to Master for me!"
"Rui Zi, what are you doing? Are you going to self-destruct?" Qiao Weiwei was shocked!
"Weiwei, I'm so sorry I couldn't be your bridesmaid..."
As soon as she finished speaking, blue light shot out from the armor seams of Fengwu 2's abdomen, waist, and back!
The blue light then spread to every armor seam across the entire body!
The blue light grew brighter and brighter, forming a colossal blue sphere of light!
"Rui Zi!!!" Qiao Weiwei screamed through tears.
With a deafening muffled roar,
The entire Fengwu 2 mech erupted with even more blinding blue light from within, and soon, white light began to form at the very center of the blue glow!
Gu Ya was operating in an area tens of kilometers away.
Upon suddenly seeing the blue light, his heart sank with a sense of dread!
"All skills activated!"
Yuyin, after activating all its skills, unleashed several flashes, charging towards Fengwu 2 at speeds surpassing everything else.
Hong Shou, Taoxi, and other enemy aircraft rapidly flew into the distance. Fengwu 2's enormous size meant its internal power source was also greater than other mechs.
It was likely that within a ten-kilometer radius, it would become its explosion zone!
Only Fengwu 1 charged towards the increasingly hot air.
"Rui Zi! Don't leave me behind!!!" Qiao Weiwei screamed maniacally.
Suddenly, the blue and white light within Fengwu 2 vanished!
But an instant later, a much larger white mass of light erupted, its speed akin to a neutron star's explosion, so fast that human consciousness could not keep up with the blast! In a fraction of a second, it expanded into a colossal white sphere of light with a diameter of five kilometers!
Fengwu 1, caught within the blast radius, was instantly engulfed.
Also engulfed was the rapidly flying Yuyin!
Gu Ya endured the intense heat, his heart filled with extreme anxiety. He was the captain of the Ao Ying 3rd team! The death of every team member was directly his responsibility! Gu Ya had promised himself he would protect every team member!
"Heart-Mind Sync" skill activated!!!
Replicating "All Skills Activated"!!!
All Skills Activated had been used a few seconds ago, which included various acceleration and overclocking skills, but not "Heart-Mind Sync." This was a conclusion Gu Ya had reached from previous training and combat.
Gu Ya desperately hoped that "Heart-Mind Sync" could truly replicate "All Skills Activated"! If it could happen again, it would definitely save Rui Zi, who was at the center of the explosion!
A moment later, reality shattered Gu Ya's hope.
Yuyin showed no reaction, continuing its original trajectory.
Time also did not stand still...
"BOOM!!!!!"
An even larger explosion roared in his ears!
The intense white light consumed all elements, including seawater, rain, and air, turning the explosion zone into a pure energy vacuum sphere!
A stinging pain assaulted every inch of Gu Ya's skin!
His vision went black, and Gu Ya completely lost consciousness.
...
"Hey... Gu Ya, wake up..." a familiar voice echoed from the depths of his mind, and a blurry figure appeared before Gu Ya's eyes.
Gradually, the figure cleared, revealing Ye Ying with her pink hair, smiling sweetly and dotingly at Gu Ya, her eyes curved into crescents, her lips upturned, looking utterly adorable.
"Ye Ying..." Gu Ya called out urgently.
"Wake up..." Ye Ying's ethereal, distant voice sounded again.
Gu Ya abruptly opened his eyes to an boundless darkness.
Qiao Weiwei's quiet sobs echoed in his ears, and the calls of other Ao Ying 3rd team members startled him.
Gu Ya sat up straight from the pilot's seat.
On the screen before him, the torrential rain still raged.
The dark, turbulent sea was churning, with large patches of mech wreckage floating on the surface, rising and falling with the angry waves.
"Rui Zi..." Gu Ya's heart trembled as he whispered her name.
Qiao Weiwei suddenly roared in anger: "Gu Ya!!! It's ALL... your fault!!! I'm going to kill those Black Star Walkers."
With a loud "buzz!", Fengwu 1, using its crippled arms, slowly lifted Fengwu 2's left arm and reattached it to its back.
After a series of mechanical connecting sounds, a massive mechanical arm slowly moved to Fengwu 1's shoulder.
It was going to use that weapon!!!
Gu Ya panicked. At this distance, firing a super-high-frequency laser beam cannon, regardless of whether it could hit the enemy, would endanger the other members of the Ao Ying 3rd team!
Suddenly, Gu Ya realized something: "Beam Energy Convergence Amplification Impact Device!"
So that's how it was. No wonder when he first saw Fengwu 1, its narrow cannon barrel could fire such a massive beam energy cannon! That thing was Fengwu 2's left arm!
"Hey! Qiao Weiwei! I need Fengwu 2's left arm!!!" Gu Ya shouted, piloting Yuyin and charging forward.
But Qiao Weiwei was already blinded by rage and despair, paying no heed.
Her only best friend had just died before her eyes.
Fengwu 1 quickly raised its cannon, strained to lift its crippled arms, and shoved its hands into Fengwu 2's arm's outer armor, directly inserting them!
Just then, Yuyin had already flown in front of it.
Ultimate Skill! "Beacon of Solemnity" (Fengyan Yisu)!
A white beam sword, moving at extreme speed, cut a straight white light trail, severing one of Fengwu 1's arms in a single strike.
Qiao Weiwei's shocked and indignant voice came through: "Gu Ya!!! My mech!!!"
Yuyin landed on Fengwu 1's shoulder. Gu Ya sighed and said, "Qiao Weiwei! Calm down! Now is not the time to lose your temper."
Gu Ya looked up at the sky again.
In the sky, the remaining fifteen enemy high-threat mechs hovered a few hundred meters above Fengwu 1, all looking down at Yuyin.
"I will kill them and avenge Rui Zi!"
