After five years of online dating, my wife thinks I'm a two-dimensional character?

As a newcomer, Bai Luochuan didn't need to participate much in the pre-battle preparations.

Because, just as Qi Yu said.

His only task this time was to stay by Qi Yu's side and keep him company.

This is a way to accumulate some practical experience.

In case of any special circumstances, they can protect Qi Yu immediately and devise a perfect response plan.

So after listening to those mobilization meetings, Bai Luochuan settled down inside the mecha.

Just like we agreed.

His seat was on the passenger side.

Qi Yu sat in the driver's seat, not in a hurry to start the mech.

Before anything began, he turned around and looked at Bai Luochuan behind him.

She smiled at him.

Qi Yu asked, "Brother, are you nervous?"

Bai Luochuan shook his head.

Qi Yu was not surprised to receive the answer he had imagined.

He smiled at Bai Luochuan again before turning his gaze back to himself.

Take a deep breath.

Start the mech.

For the next period of time, the mechs remained operational. It was also the first time Bai Luochuan had experienced the tangible feeling of leaving their original planet and heading into interstellar space.

As Qi Yu had told him before.

Their destination this time was a nearby desolate planet.

Those monsters have already landed on the desolate planet in large numbers. The next plan should be to launch a direct attack on the planet they are on.

Therefore, to prevent problems before they occur, they need to take the initiative instead of passively waiting.

Otherwise, what if the monsters really invade...

It's not just these pioneers who will suffer; even ordinary people on the planet will suffer the same disaster.

That's something no one wants to see.

While replaying the basic information Qi Yu had provided in his mind, he kept glancing at the outside of the mecha.

When the giant mech finally landed on the desolate planet, Bai Luochuan held his breath, putting himself into a state of combat readiness, just like the surrounding situation.

Besides them, there were more than a dozen other mechs in the team dispatched this time.

After all, the area of ​​the desolate planet is simply too vast.

While Qi Yu alone could draw most of the firepower, it couldn't guarantee that he could completely take care of all aspects.

So after landing, as previously arranged, the other mechs dispersed in twos and threes. Only Bai Luochuan and Qi Yu were left alone, with only their mech.

Although I had already heard about this arrangement.

But when he actually felt it, Bai Luochuan was still a little uneasy.

He asked Qi Yu in a low voice, "Xiao Yu, is this the only mecha we have...?"

"No problem. My mech is the most advanced model, and the only prototype. It's far superior to the others. Besides, we're not alone." Qi Yu replied with a smile, "Brother can use the rearview device to keep an eye on what's behind me. That way, it's like we're fighting side by side. I'm not alone."

His explanation sounded reasonable and well-founded.

But Bai Luochuan knew.

From a certain perspective, this arrangement is more like a form of "bullying" the powerful.

Because he often experienced the same thing when he worked before.

In the eyes of the organization's higher-ups, he was the kind of person who could do the work of many others. So even in extremely dangerous situations, as long as Bai Luochuan had the time, he would throw him out alone and let him face the problem.

Anyway, he can handle it.

Assigning him any extra help would be a waste of manpower.

They euphemistically say: "Having another person might actually be a burden to you."

But for those at the top, this is really just a means of "saving resources".

Qi Yu and Bai Luochuan have always been in very similar situations.

For example, the two times he traveled back in time to save Qi Yu with the help of the game were all like that.

Like him, Qi Yu had long been accustomed to fighting alone under such circumstances that were almost forced upon him.

Bai Luochuan can understand.

But I couldn't hide the heartache I felt.

However, given the current situation, the higher-ups certainly won't change their strategy. Or perhaps, for Qi Yu himself, he has indeed become accustomed to this solo approach.

In his view, everyone except Bai Luochuan was a disruptive project that would hinder him.

I understand this clearly.

Bai Luochuan remained silent for a while before finally speaking.

He took two deep breaths and then slowly said, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, no matter what happens, I'm here for you."

This was his way of telling Qi Yu.

He will stay with Qi Yu.

Never change.

Qi Yu grinned.

There was no further response.

Because now, their attention needs to be fully focused on what's in front of them.

The monsters appeared even faster than expected.

It wasn't much different from what Bai Luochuan remembered.

However, from an attack perspective, the coordination between those monsters seems to be much stronger than before.

And it's not just that.

Besides the ordinary-sized monsters, they were also facing a huge monster that was about half the size of a mecha, and it felt like it could crush a large rock with a single claw.

Qi Yu's control was certainly precise enough.

Bai Luochuan kept an eye on the situation behind him.

When a monster approached the rear of the mecha, Bai Luochuan didn't speak up to warn Qi Yu or interrupt his rhythm. Instead, he took the initiative to operate the buttons on the mecha, following what Qi Yu had taught him.

Activate the various devices on the back of the mech to launch an attack.

Bai Luochuan takes over the aiming.

The two of them worked together like that.

Even though the number of monsters was far greater than expected, it wouldn't necessarily drive them to the brink of despair.

This battle lasted for several hours.

Finally, we found an opening.

Qi Yu quickly piloted his mech away from the battle, while Bai Luochuan dealt with the pursuing monsters. The two then stopped in a huge depression on the desolate planet.

It is called a "barren planet" because there are no animals on this planet.

But apart from that, there are quite a few plants.

The massive vegetation blocked out the sun.

It allows the mechs to temporarily hide inside, and once the concealment function is activated, it's not easy for those monsters to detect their presence.

After doing all this, Qi Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

Once he was sure there was no further danger around him, he turned his gaze to the back and looked at Bai Luochuan, who had been by his side the whole time.

The smile on his face was tinged with helplessness.

Qi Yu sighed and said, "I always feel like those monsters are deliberately targeting me. They're pretty sure I'm in this mech, which is why they've gathered all their main forces around me."

This is actually not hard to guess.

Just as everyone in the empire knows how great a hero Qi Yu is, it is certainly clear to every monster that has the ability to communicate, interact with each other, and possesses absolute intelligence how hateful and despicable Qi Yu is.

So there had been some speculation before they even arrived here.

The idea that the monsters stayed here instead of launching a direct attack on their planet might just be a trap for Qi Yu.

Because I was certain he would come.

So they lay in ambush here.

They attempted to use this method to eliminate their biggest obstacle.

I had anticipated this situation.

But Qi Yu had no choice but to deal with it.

Only when he actually experienced these things did he feel that the atmosphere of death that had always surrounded him seemed to have returned to him.

My body trembled slightly, almost unconsciously.

But Qi Yu knew very well that it wasn't because of any kind of fear.

It was an indescribable excitement.

The luster in his golden eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He licked the corner of his lips.

Qi Yu murmured, "Brother, I think I'm starting to get excited..."
