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

After the two of them explained things clearly, they ate a little bit of energy bars to fill their stomachs.

Then they looked at each other.

No further explanation is needed.

Qi Yu nodded slightly to Bai Luochuan, then looked away, took a deep breath, and started activating the mech.

Actually, no excessive action is needed.

After he removed his disguise, the monsters that had been lurking around them, searching for them and planning to attack them, immediately gathered around them.

The battle itself was not much different from before.

It's like endlessly dodging those attacks, repeating the same thing over and over without end.

Bai Luochuan could feel the surrounding sky gradually change from bright to cold darkness, and then slowly from darkness back to the brightness of dawn.

The speed at which time passes becomes less noticeable at this moment.

When all his mental energy was completely tense, the result was that apart from absolute killing intent, he could not sense any other emotions or aura.

In addition, the bad news coming through the communicator did not stop.

The two mechs that were defeated at the beginning were just the beginning.

The mechs that followed to investigate also lost contact.

The message from the command center was that everyone except Qi Yu and his group should avoid approaching that area.

Even so, the damage did not stop.

The announcement is repeated every so often.

In the end, it seemed that the damage was too severe, so the command center decided that there was no need for everyone to continue fighting, the exploration was temporarily suspended, and the return journey should be initiated first, and they could deal with it after they got back.

Even with such significant concessions, the final result was still far worse than expected.

Only one team successfully returned.

The other mechs have completely lost contact.

In this situation, no one can think positively about anything.

Losing contact means death.

This is a consensus among everyone.

It was precisely because of this that the command post once again called out to Qi Yu.

He was instructed to disengage from the battle as quickly as possible.

Regardless of the current situation on that desolate planet, the outcome shows that their preparations were inadequate.

Survival is the top priority.

Even for Qi Yu, dealing with so many monsters by himself is still too much to ask of anyone.

So we quickly returned to base.

The biggest requirement from the command center was that he not be dragged to his death on this desolate planet.

Unfortunately, the orders issued from the other side did not mean that Qi Yu would necessarily carry them out. Although he responded that he was still alive, after checking the remaining fuel and ammunition of the mech, Qi Yu simply told the command center.

He was not in a hurry to return.

Rather than going back now, he was more concerned about how far the monsters here had evolved.

"At the very least, we need to confirm what exactly was responsible for destroying the other mechs."

Qi Yu responded calmly.

He said, "If we can't even confirm this, then this attack is a complete and utter failure. It won't help us in any way in future battles, and even if we go back, the outcome of the next expedition will definitely be the same."

The people on the command platform, while more concerned about Qi Yu's survival, were not a bunch of clueless fools when it came to intelligence.

What Qi Yu was worried about was also the same problem they were struggling with.

So after a moment of silence.

They eventually came to a conclusion.

Tell Qi Yu that the higher-ups fully support his planned probes.

However, while providing support, the safety of Qi Yu and Bai Luochuan is equally important.

Therefore, we should conduct detection as far as we can.

If a life-threatening situation were encountered, no one would say he was wrong to abandon the expedition.

This response was exactly as Qi Yu had guessed.

So after responding to the other party, Qi Yu once again entered that high-intensity battle.

The battle lasted for dozens of hours, which was indeed a constant drain on people's mental strength.

But that's how they are.

The same applies to those monsters.

The mech was badly damaged, but the corpses of the monsters around it had piled up into a continuous mountain.

It was originally a competition to see who could hold out the longest.

To Bai Luochuan and Qi Yu's relief, when they witnessed the sunrise and sunset for the third time, the remaining monsters finally chose to retreat.

He slowly concealed his body into the darkness.

This means a temporary truce with them.

Admittedly, this was a perfect opportunity to escape.

But Bai Luochuan and Qi Yu exchanged a glance.

The two of them still saw the same familiar emotions in each other's eyes.

He grinned, revealing a rather unattractive smile.

Bai Luochuan slumped in his passenger seat.

He waved his hand gently and said, "I originally thought that piloting a mech in combat would be much more comfortable than going up there and fighting those monsters hand-to-hand. But it turns out I underestimated the problem. Given enough time, any kind of battle is incredibly frustrating..."

Qi Yu nodded in agreement.

Based on their previous communication, he knew that Bai Luochuan was more accustomed to close-quarters combat than driving combat vehicles.

That's why he stayed inside the mech for so many days.

He would feel a little uncomfortable.

It makes perfect sense.

Even for Bai Luochuan, a newcomer, the battles of the past few days have been quite tough, let alone for him.

Reaching out from a supply bag, Qi Yu took water and energy bars and handed them to Bai Luochuan, saying, "Brother, eat something and rest for a bit. I..."

Bai Luochuan shook his head, interrupting Qi Yu's suggestion.

Then he stood up and pointed to the back of the mech, saying, "Towards the end of the battle, I sensed that the back of the mech seemed to have been damaged. I'll go take care of it; you should rest. As the pilot, you're much more tired than me, and I can tell that."

As he spoke, people began to move.

Qi Yu would never allow him to take such a risk.

With a swift movement, he pulled Bai Luochuan back to his side.

The mechs have now entered stealth mode, making it less likely for the monsters to detect their location.

However, the damage to the mech was on its outer side.

If you want to get it repaired, you have to get out of the mech first.

In other words, maintaining a normal human body means being vulnerable to attacks from monsters at any time.

No matter how strong Bai Luochuan is.

Qi Yu frowned, and finally sighed softly. He said, "It does need to be inspected, but we have to go together. How many times have you said this? We should do adventurous things together. Don't always leave me behind and just make me wait in a safe place. What kind of behavior is that?"
