Ordinary observers in fast time travel

"Qin Fang, you take Slana and leave first!" Aria made a quick decision.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang looked at Aria and, seeing her serious expression, nodded. Inwardly, however, he was horrified; Aria knew Slana's identity!

Are these insect-like beasts related to her?

Countless guesses flashed through his mind, but he showed no sign of it on his face.

Upon hearing Aria's words, the others objected, "Aria, why should you take Slana away first? She's a mecha combat pilot too!"

"Yes, if anyone's going to be taken, it should be us first. We're logistics personnel, and our combat effectiveness is weak."

"That's right, Qin Fang, you're taking me with you..."

"The mech can only carry two people. Why don't you give us your mech, Qin Fang? Although we don't know how to fight in a mech, we can still pilot it without any problems."

……

The once tightly knit hunting team was now like a scattered mess. Meanwhile, the insectoid beasts were closing in on them.

"Watch out!" Shi Jia and the other four mecha combat pilots were walking at the back of the group. They were running just fine, but after the other five heard Aria's words, they slowed down, so Shi Jia and the others had to slow down as well.

At that moment, the insectoid beast flapped its wings and swooped down towards Aria. Instinctively, she swung her longsword at it.

In the darkness of night, no one noticed that a faint green light flowed across the longsword, and the green light made contact with the insect beast first.

"Buzz—" The rapid buzzing sound seemed to proclaim the insect beast's pain, and the next second the long sword cleaved the hard insect beast's carapace in two.

It should be known that the carapace of insects and beasts is indestructible; a mere longsword could not possibly damage it in the slightest. Yet here it was not only wounded, but cut in two. This is utterly unbelievable.

However, the scene was extremely chaotic at this moment. One after another, insects and beasts rushed out of the grass, and everyone was too busy to keep up. No one noticed this scene at all.

"Aria!" Shi Jia pulled Aria to his side. At this moment, black mist gathered between Aria's brows, and her expression was ferocious.

"Has the pollution level gone up?!" Shi Jia didn't care about hiding anymore. She summoned the little seedling, which landed on her head and then shrank and hid in her hair.

The energy root extended and planted itself between Aria's eyebrows, exhaling purifying energy into her spiritual world before being withdrawn.

The situation is complicated now; it's not the time for treatment!
Soon, the ferocious expression on Aria's face relaxed a lot. She looked at Shi Jia with a complicated and grateful look, and then immediately joined the battle.

Shi Jia didn't say anything, and quickly joined in.
Seeing this, Aria did not stop them, but she attacked the insect beasts even faster. "These insect beasts are not strong and there are not many of them. Let's eliminate them quickly."

Her response was the sound of energy guns firing and the clanging of metal against metal.

"Damn it! What did these insect beasts eat to grow up like this!" Zhou Shuai cursed. He and Shi Jia both chose longswords, while the other three chose energy guns and cannons.

"Attack their bellies!" Shi Jia quickly reminded him upon hearing his words.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuai immediately changed his attack direction and, sure enough, slashed at the abdomen, killing the insect beast instantly. His confidence soared, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

Meanwhile, Aria and another mech pilot used their energy guns to kill insectoid beasts with a single shot. Qin Fang, on the other hand, piloted his mech and wreaked havoc on all sides.

Soon, all the insect beasts were eliminated.

"Phew~ I'm alive again." Zhou Shuai breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Slana, check if there are any other insectoid beasts around." After saying that, Aria went to check the five support staff.

"That's it." Shi Jia scanned the woods with his energy lamp but couldn't find any source of pollution.

“Okay, let’s leave quickly and head to the school base. Their pollution levels have all increased significantly.” Aria said gravely.

"Luo Peng, Yue Zhilan, can you convert the mecha into a flying car?"

Both of them were pale, with fine beads of sweat on their foreheads. Their bodies were not injured, but their mental energy had been contaminated.

Non-combatants like them typically summon mental mimics to fight when faced with danger. Therefore, they are highly susceptible to contamination. "Let's try it," Luo Peng said. As mecha engineers, mental contamination is also a fatal danger to them, making it difficult to concentrate, slowing their thinking, and even preventing them from using their mental energy to refine parts.

Some very fine parts can only be polished using mental power.

Seeing this, Aria frowned. "Never mind, Qin Fang, you pilot the mecha and transport them."

“Aria, there’s only one empty slot for the mech, but there are five of them,” Zhou Shuai reminded her.

“I have a way.” Aria took out a tent and handed it to Qin Fang. “Use this?”

tent?

Everyone was puzzled. Then they saw the mech carrying a tent in both hands, inside which five pale-faced people were huddled together.

"Slana, you should get into the mech." Aria then looked at the other two mech pilots. "You don't have any objections, do you?" The two quickly shook their heads.

And so, a uniquely designed mech carried three people as they raced through the darkness toward the First Military Academy's base.

Meanwhile, the First Military Academy base was already in complete chaos.

The incident happened an hour ago.

"Beep beep! Surveillance camera number 66 has lost signal. Please check immediately!"

The examiner was instantly startled. "How many? Number 66?" He quickly checked the screen, and sure enough, the monitor for number 66 was completely black.

He frowned. "What's going on?" He dialed the patrol officer's number with displeasure. "Go check what's happening with number 66."

"We've lost signal. Let's see if those students have broken the surveillance equipment!" That's right, the examiner's first reaction was that those students had broken the monitor and were trying to do something sneaky.

After all, similar incidents had occurred in the history of the First Military Academy. Later, the academy stipulated that anyone who damaged the monitoring equipment would receive a score of 0, which finally stopped this unhealthy trend.

After assigning the tasks, the assessor hurriedly checked other surveillance footage and found no problems.

So he patiently waited for information from the patrolling soldiers. However, twenty minutes later, the examiner received bad news: the surveillance camera had been found, but member number 66 had not been found.

"You continue the search, I'll report to the principal immediately." Although the examiner was very dissatisfied, he thought of the principal and Marshal Cheng's attention to a certain female student in number 66, the possibility of powerful star beasts being overlooked on the desolate planet, and the insect beasts that suddenly appeared near the desolate planet two days ago. Without hesitation, he immediately dialed Han Zhao's video call.

Upon hearing the examiner's words, Han Zhao jumped up from his seat in fright. "Where is team number 66 from the surveillance camera? What happened?"

"Principal, the patrol team has discovered a signal jamming device!" The instructor, upon seeing the message, broke out in a cold sweat. Students' belongings were always checked before entering the desolate planet.

"A signal jamming device? What else did they find?"

"They're gone for now." The examiner's heart pounded. "After discovering that team number 66 was missing, I immediately mobilized the patrol team to search for them, but they haven't been found yet."

"When did you disappear?"

"About 25 minutes ago." The examiner checked the time the alarm was triggered on the monitor.

"Why is it taking so long to report this!" Han Zhao roared.

Large beads of cold sweat dripped down the examiner's forehead. "I..."

"Immediately mobilize all patrol teams to search. Also, notify all students that the desolate planet has been invaded by foreign enemies. The assessment is suspended. Everyone return to the base."

"Yes!"

After Han Zhao finished speaking, he looked at everyone in the operations room and said, "Marshal Cheng, please have the space talent master check the spatial fluctuations on the desolate planet."

"I suspect the insectoid beasts constructed a wormhole!" (End of Chapter)
