Chapter 61 Meimei, Do You Have a Mech Too?

"Speaking of which, Meimei, I remember you also have a mech, don't you?"

Quite a few people had seen Mingmei's mech when it first appeared, but Mingmei had never mentioned it to anyone since.

When Lu Xiaoyao asked this question, several mechs were resting on a rugged small satellite suitable for hiding.

"Well, anyway, A'Chen's mech is still usable. If the mech gets damaged later, I'll have a backup." Mingmei gave a simple reason. Lu Xiaoyao was confused. It sounded like Mingmei was right, but something didn't feel right.

After all, she didn't know that Mingmei's Jin Yi (Brocade Garment) was a single-seater.

Unlike most of the mechs present.

Even if the Su Bo (Plain Silk) mech was really damaged in the game, Mingmei wouldn't even be able to protect Mu Chen.

"That's true. Our mechs are all worn out now, and there's no place to temporarily repair them in this game. It's going to be harder and harder to fight later on. It's good to have a replacement option."

Hu Yue and the others actually believed Mingmei's statement, but Li Yuan said, "But if two people are in one mech, won't it seem like we lack momentum when we encounter the Zerg outside?

Won't they think we're easy to bully because we're outnumbered?"

Li Yuan's words weren't impossible.

"We only have so many in total. Whether we take them all out or not, there are less than ten, right?" Dong Lei was quite open-minded. "For some of the larger Zerg, it doesn't make a difference whether we have four or five or two or three."

"We need to continue contacting other players," Mu Chen said after everyone finished chatting, giving them a new goal.

"Compared to playing as the Zerg, when playing as human soldiers, one person's strength is even more insignificant. If we don't unite, we'll probably end even faster than when we played as the Zerg."

Mu Chen's words were agreed upon by everyone present, and it also exposed their weaknesses – lack of cooperation and unity.

Maybe they could fight in small groups, but fighting the Zerg would never be just a battle of a few people.

…Outside the game…

"What's the use of you worrying? You only grow when you learn from your mistakes, right?"

Hu Mingli took the video call from Mei Qiu, expressing his disdain for his concern about his sister's recent situation: "You only left this morning. Even if there are wormholes for teleportation, don't you think it's a bit much to ask me if your sister has arrived after only half a day?"

Hu Mingli, who had just come out of the training room, was wearing a thin layer of clothing, and the muscles under the clothing were more than obvious, wiping away sweat as he answered.

"Of course I know my sister hasn't arrived yet, but..."

Even Hu Mingli, who had grown into a troublemaker over the years, Mei Qiu directly got to the point: "What exactly are you thinking by letting these students go to your place early?"

"Testing them."

Hu Mingli's indifferent appearance made Mei Qiu almost laugh out of anger, but when he thought of Mu Chen, he could at least rest assured about something.

"Speaking of which, I heard that the game your uncle developed is being used on those students today."

"Hey! I say, Mei Qiu, are you a sister-con?"

Hu Mingli saw that Mei Qiu wasn't asking if Mingmei had arrived, but was concerned about why people had to come here early, and now he was even interfering with playing games?

"No, I'm not, I didn't." Mei Qiu denied three times in a row, and then he remembered what his parents had told him, and he suddenly had a headache again.

Why are sons always picked up from the trash?

Sons are used when needed, and daughters are good when not?

"I'm just reminding you not to overdo it. I naturally trust my sister's strength, but you also have new people here. If you joke too much and anger others, don't blame me."

"Tch, what do I need you for if I do something wrong?"

Ignoring Mei Qiu's reminder, Hu Mingli curled his lips and said, "Greenhouse flowers can only transform after being baptized by storms."

Mei Qiu didn't refute this, but if possible, he hoped that flower could always enjoy the beauty of the greenhouse.

"You've asked me so much, but I'm curious, what are your intentions for sending your sister to my place so willingly?" This time, Hu Mingli asked Mei Qiu in confusion, "If you're really worried about the safety of Hua Lan Star, you shouldn't continue recruiting new soldiers this year. You're worried about your sister, but what about other people's children?"

"Do you also believe that Hua Lan Star will go to war?"

Mei Qiu stood in the control room of the command starship, looking at the boundless starry sky, feeling very emotional.

"I don't know if it's because they were scared by my achievements back then..."

Speaking of Mu Chen's feat of single-handedly destroying a Zerg army and killing the Zerg queen, many people still talk about it with relish.

Even Hu Mingli was ashamed of being inferior.

Mei Qiu's feat of completely annihilating the enemy back then also came at the cost of countless sacrifices. If possible, Hu Mingli would never want to end up in that situation.

Countless people died, and in the end, only Mei Qiu survived. How many people died behind the applause and flowers?

Even Mei Qiu himself was unwilling to mention the past afterwards, unwilling to mention everything that happened back then.

Hu Mingli even wondered if he would be able to display Mei Qiu's amazing combat power if he reached that point. Maybe he would eventually die in battle, and when the bad news was spread to the rear as the fortress was completely destroyed, nothing would be left, just like that time many years ago in the Federation…

"What's wrong? Are you reminiscing about my glorious achievements?" Mei Qiu knew that Hu Mingli wasn't thinking about these things, but he couldn't help but joke.

"What are you thinking?" Hu Mingli rolled his eyes, put on his coat, and then seemed to remember something, "By the way, how are the legions sent by the Federation and the Empire getting along with you?"

"What? The Fifth Legion isn't your family's, are you worried?" The Fifth Legion was stationed at Hua Lan Star this time, and the team leader and commander, Qiao Xiyu, was known for being serious and strict.

Mei Qiu and they were from the same school in their early years, Qiao Xiyu was two grades younger than Hu Mingli, but he was known for being stubborn at school.

The key was that he was not only stubborn but also good at fighting. He didn't have many friends at that time, let alone these years. Qiao Xiyu's bad temper still didn't get along well with many people.

The whole person looked very unapproachable.

Knowing Mei Qiu's bad nature, he couldn't wait to arrange the Federation and the Fifth Legion together, and then set up a ring for them to fight!

"I'm just saying, I heard that the commander-in-chief sent by the Federation to Hua Lan Star is very powerful."

"Is that so?"

Mei Qiu raised his eyebrows. He didn't see anything outstanding about the Federation's garrison commander, Xia Luoer. Usually, besides training and fighting, he was actually a very quiet person most of the time.

He liked to read books and had a good temperament. He had originally thought that the Federation and the Empire would fight, but the two of them were able to get along peacefully.
