Chapter 169 Internal Affairs

"Damn it... is there any way to stop this beast?" The lieutenant general's mind raced as he considered every possible way to defeat the giant lizard, but the answer he came to was—there was none.

If it were an A-rank enemy, it would be manageable; he could just lead a few men out and mow them down. But this was only an S-rank. Hoping to harm him with just a few dozen guns was wishful thinking.

Although Longteng's defenses could hold them off for ten or twenty minutes without any problem, the subsequent repair costs would be a serious matter that couldn't be easily overlooked.

"Damn it, everyone get ready for impact!" the lieutenant general shouted as he jumped into the cabin.

Everyone clung tightly to whatever they could grab, silently awaiting the giant lizard's attack.

"Hmm?" The lieutenant general was the first to notice something was wrong. Given the lizard's speed, it should have rushed over by now!

"General, look here!"

The lieutenant general walked curiously over to the display screen and opened his mouth in surprise.

He saw the once majestic giant lizard being torn apart by countless azure lightning bolts. A figure shrouded in lightning wielded a forty-nine-meter-long, azure whip, wielding it continuously. Each strike possessed the power to shatter mountains and split the earth, always causing a large burst of blood to erupt on the giant lizard and sending it flying more than ten meters away.

"Is this... reinforcements from the superhumans?" the lieutenant general asked in confusion. He had roughly estimated the time and concluded that, apart from Mu Mu, who was a superhuman who could move at will, the other superhumans present would not be able to break through the sea of ​​beasts and arrive here for at least half an hour.

But what is this lightning bolt...?

Regardless of any doubts, the arrival of reinforcements was an undeniable fact. The lieutenant general was naturally overjoyed. He opened the protective layer of the hatch and watched the battle of the lightning-like figure through the protective glass inside the cabin.

Not long after, about ten minutes later, the giant lizard was killed by the lightning whip. Lei Ying withdrew the boundless lightning and revealed a stunningly beautiful and alluring woman.

"what?"

The lieutenant general and the soldiers watching the battle stared wide-eyed. They had thought that someone with such a fierce and heroic appearance was probably a burly man with thick eyebrows, but it turned out to be a cute girl with delicate skin.

The contrast is just too huge!

Surprised as they were, this stunningly beautiful woman captivated the hearts of most people present, even some of the women.

The lieutenant general came to his senses and found that Yan Ziming had walked up to Long Teng and was examining him closely, tapping here and there, as if afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

"Could this be a spy sent by another country?" the lieutenant general wondered to himself. Once the thought came to mind, he couldn't stop himself, and he began to imagine many shocking and outrageous scenes.

He made contact with the front lines:

"Hey, Lao Li, I wanted to ask if there's a guy who uses lightning..."

咚咚

The lieutenant general saw Yan Ziming walk up to their glass hatch at some point and gently knock on it, trying to see if anyone was inside.

This is a one-way window; only they can see out, while people outside cannot see anything inside.

The crowd was able to admire this stunningly beautiful woman up close. Her face was so beautiful it could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and the moon would hide its face in shame. Her figure was curvaceous and her waist was so slender that it could be grasped in one hand. Everyone was full of praise for her.

"Oh, okay, no problem, that's settled."

After asking all his questions and confirming that Yan Ziming was alright, he decided to let her in.

"Ahem—what are you all looking at! Open the hatch and let her in." The lieutenant general, seeing his subordinate so easily swayed, shouted angrily.

"Oh...oh oh oh! Received." The technician hadn't recovered from the shock yet, glancing back at the beautiful figure outside the window every few steps.

"You bastard, if you don't hurry up, I'll make you run yourself to death on the track!"

"Yes!" The technician shuddered as he recalled his hellish experience and immediately ran to the control panel to operate it.

"As expected, battles like this are the most captivating..." The lieutenant general thought to himself as he looked out the window at Yan Ziming and recalled the dazzling azure lightning she unleashed during battle.

In the apocalypse, the individual strength of an ordinary person may not be much compared to the strength of a nation, but an extraordinary individual can be worth a huge army, turning the tide of the war single-handedly and becoming a hero admired by all—something everyone aspires to.

Yan Shan is a typical example of this.

……

"Hmm... Is this the Dragon Fortress... representing the highest level of technology in China?"

Yan Ziming curiously examined the bright red mecha. She was captivated by the texture of the steel. Although most of it was rusty from the battle, it did not detract from its beauty at all, but instead added to its majestic and imposing aura.

The two close-in weapon systems on her shoulders were enough to send chills down one's spine just by looking at them, and the two greatswords in her hands were so sharp that saying they could cut through a hair would be an understatement. Yan Ziming estimated that the power of these two swords was even greater than she had imagined.

Yan Zimo couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected, an individual's strength is still somewhat lacking compared to that of a collective unit..."

Two different people, with completely different identities, are both yearning for two completely opposite goals. It has to be said that this scene is quite dramatic.

"This thing is truly a man's dream. It looks so cool from the outside. I wonder what it's like inside," Yan Ziming exclaimed. She was also eager to try piloting a mecha. It must be incredibly exhilarating, right?

After all, this stems from her very nature. Yan Ziming has no resistance to beautiful women, and she is no different when it comes to mecha. Piloting a mecha has always been one of her greatest dreams.

"What's that...?" Yan Ziming saw a glass enclosure in front of her. She couldn't see what was inside from the outside, but she had a feeling that someone inside was watching her every move. As for why they hadn't welcomed her in yet, she didn't know. Perhaps there were some secrets they didn't want her to know.

However, the most uninteresting answer in reality is often the truth.

Who would have thought that the people inside were so captivated by her beauty that they were mesmerized?

She stepped forward to examine the glass cover, tapping it a few times, but waited for a long time without any response.

"As expected... Well, how could I possibly see state secrets so easily?"

Yan Ziming shook her head in disappointment. She wanted to try again, but just as she raised her hand to knock, the glass door suddenly opened, startling her.

"Hello, Ms. Yan Ziming, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

After the hatch opened, the first person to appear before Yan Ziming was the highest commander of the Dragon Soaring aircraft—Lieutenant General Meng Shaojun.

"Ha... It's nothing, I only waited a little while. It's a good opportunity for me to appreciate the charm of China's most advanced war machine." Yan Ziming was flattered. Judging from the man's armband, he was at least a general.

Meng Shaojun stood up straight with pride:

"If you want to see it, then go ahead and see it. It was meant to be shown to others anyway."

He turned around and led Yan Ziming into the cabin.

Yan Ziming could clearly feel that the people around her were looking at her with strange eyes, as if they were sizing up their future daughter-in-law. Even some women looked at her with admiration, and their gazes toward Yan Ziming were somewhat similar to those toward Ye Qianxue.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Meng Shaojun, the highest commander of Longteng. On behalf of the entire crew, I thank you for this rescue."

Meng Shaojun and everyone else saluted Yan Ziming, making her very uncomfortable; she disliked this kind of scene the most.

"It's my duty, it's my duty... cough cough." Yan Ziming coughed awkwardly, thus changing the subject.

Chapter 170 Power Cabin

"So? What are your thoughts on the internal workings of this Dragon Soar?" Meng Shaojun asked with a grin. He really wanted to hear praise for the Dragon Soar from outsiders, after all, he was the chief commander of the Dragon Soar prototype, and other people's praise for the Dragon Soar was also praise for him.

The interior space isn't particularly remarkable; it's just that there are more mechanical elements, and otherwise it's not much different from a typical military command post.

Yan Ziming looked around and had a general idea in his mind:

"Very tidy, and the layout is also very good."

Yan Ziming felt somewhat embarrassed as he shared these opinions that had nothing to do with Longteng.

Good heavens, please forgive her poor writing skills; she really didn't know how to express her views on the internal affairs in a tactful way, and these two words were already her limit.

Meng Shaojun, having risen to the rank of lieutenant general, naturally possessed excellent observation skills. He immediately noticed Yan Ziming's embarrassment and continued to show her around:

"This is just a basic command post. The real military secrets are the weapons bay and the power bay. It's normal that you think it's ordinary."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ziming's embarrassment lessened slightly, and he felt a surge of curiosity about the so-called power compartment.

Well, she just wanted to see how the power unit that could cause this big guy to break down here worked, and she didn't mean to belittle it at all.

Along the way, Yan Ziming observed the equipment inside the Dragon Soar from many angles, and based on her research on "electricity," she easily guessed that the Dragon Soar's power system was electrically powered. Therefore, she said:

"If it's convenient... could you take me to see the power compartment? It seems to be powered by electricity, so maybe I can be of some help."

Meng Shaojun's expression shifted between surprise and delight. He was surprised because Yan Ziming could actually tell that this place was powered by electricity, and delighted because Yan Ziming was a high-level lightning ability user, who might have a way to alleviate the predicament of the Dragon Soaring.

"can."

"Huh? Really? Aren't you worried I'll leak your secrets or something?"

Yan Ziming was pleasantly surprised; she had only mentioned it casually, but she hadn't expected him to actually agree.

Meng Shaojun chuckled and said:

“I believe you’re not that kind of person. Old Li… that is, Li Haoyi, mentioned this to me.”

In fact, that's not all. He also learned from some secret channels that the person in front of him was likely related to the top military leader, which was one of the biggest reasons why he trusted Yan Ziming.

Otherwise, even if this power system is a flawed product, its technological advancement is still world-leading, and its level of secrecy is not much lower than that of a nuclear arsenal.

"By the way, how's the situation at the front?"

"Yes, the overall situation is basically settled. In the end, we will only have to face death."

Speaking of Death, even Meng Shaojun, who had never seen Death before, had an unpredictable expression, which showed the power of the Rank 1, a record built on countless corpses.

"I'm sure the Marshal has a plan. What do you think?" Meng Shaojun carefully observed Yan Ziming's expression, hoping to find a clue from her face, but he was destined to be disappointed.

"Ha... I'm not entirely sure either. I, a mere foot soldier, dare not presume to speculate on the thoughts of such a person."
