Chapter 1043: Chapter 473: I’m Standing Right in Front of You, So Why Pretend You Didn’t See Me

At the canyon’s bottom, the fog was particularly thick. However, as they ascended to a mere few dozen meters from the exit, the fog had thinned out to nothingness.

The All-Women World was now in daylight. The early light of dawn was boldly pouring down through the cracks in the rock walls above.

It was as if they tore apart the once-oppressive gray-white dense fog, piercing through the millennia of accumulated cold and damp air.

From the back, the mecha bore the morning light, the sun gilding its edges with radiant gold. The cold metallic armor was spotless, reflecting brilliance, while the engine spat out a bluish tail flame that burned fiercely in the air, roaring.

F*ck, this is the roar of breaking free from shackles, the howl of rebirth through fire!

In one word, this is damn handsome!

OK, we’ve finished looking from the back, now let’s view it from the front.

The mecha was cautiously posing with open hands and a slight grip, while a blob of Slime was gradually bulging out through the edge of the mecha’s hand’s fingers, trembling with a very bouncy vibration frequency from the engine, even more bouncy than Jackie Chan with the Bawang shampoo ad.

Ah, it’s truly gallant when a hero saves a beauty.

But when a hero saves a slime, it’s not necessarily the same.

All the aesthetics have been completely destroyed.

However, Lin Li quickly dismissed these thoughts, because the important thing now is not this.

The remaining time is running short, and the most important thing is still to complete the mission.

"Zhu Ning, should we scout first before flying out? The drone won’t be discovered, right?" Lin Li looked at Zhu Ning in his hand and asked.

As he spoke, a reconnaissance drone was already detached from the unit, hovering in front of the mecha.

The reason Lin Li still asked Zhu Ning first is that he was not familiar with the "Black Insect" creatures and worried that rash actions might trigger unexpected incidents.

Zhu Ning also understood Lin Li’s concerns and nodded, "Theoretically, they shouldn’t deliberately linger around the canyon, nor would they pay attention to it. After all, once fallen, there’s almost no survival. A drone shouldn’t be discovered."

In fact, Zhu Ning thought that directly flying the mecha out would be fine, but being cautious couldn’t be wrong either.

Lin Li was carefully operating the drone, staring at the real-time images transmitted in front of him.

The drone nimbly avoided the last few protruding jagged rock walls, sneakily emerging at the head of Silence Canyon, bathing under this so-called "Crystal Cluster Continent" expansive yet somewhat pale sky. freewebnσvel.cøm

The camera spun rapidly, scanning the canyon edges, the sky, and the broken ground as far as the eye could see with the widest angle. fгeewebnovёl.com

Besides the wind noise and the dust and small stones stirred by the airflow, the view was desolate and dead, like a wasteland in the desert.

The corpses of the Black Insects disintegrate quickly, while the intact mecha remains are recovered by the Black Insects as spoils of war. Although indeed, a battle took place above the canyon tens of hours ago—at the time when Zhu Ning fell, nothing could be discerned now.

"No suspicious targets found."

"That’s the best scenario," Zhu Ning sighed in relief.

"Hmm, it’s time to send you home,"

Without bringing the drone back, Lin Li looked down at Zhu Ning:

"However, Miss Zhu, next we need to leave this canyon edge, flying towards your allied territory. The speed will be fast, and the bumps and wind pressure will be substantial. Staying outside like this is quite dangerous for you, isn’t it?"

"Can you enter my cockpit? Every time the hatch opens, by my estimation, the space should be sufficient."

"Entering the cockpit is certainly impossible. Even in our world, mecha cockpits are designed for a single occupant. Besides, this is a mecha specially designed for you. Forcing my way in will likely damage the cockpit’s environmental control unit."

Zhu Ning paused and immediately tried to offer a solution:

"But, since it’s Combat Armor, if it follows the rules set by our world, it should have designated maintenance and diagnostic interfaces.

Check your mecha status bar, is there a "Repair Energy Interface" hatch cover?

This compartment space is independent of the cockpit. It’s mainly used for connecting external devices for energy, reading basic system logs, or performing emergency function resets without opening the main cockpit door. It should fit our needs, and perhaps I can also provide some assistance through this."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li immediately searched within his neural link visual.

Soon, among the complicated structure map of the mecha, he pinpointed a square area located under the abdomen armor, near the crotch. With a thought, this area, covered in armor plates and edged with clear yellow warning stripes, was instantly highlighted in his main view.

The annotation beside it indeed read "Repair Energy Interface Compartment - MPC."

"Yes," Lin Li confirmed, "it matches your description, I’m opening it now."

The mecha emitted a faint metallic friction sound, as the armor plate under the abdomen silently slid to the side, revealing a small space, with various standard sockets, wiring, and heat dissipation grilles arranged within the metal chamber.

"This is it," Zhu Ning exhaled in relief, "Although a bit crowded, there was a consideration for this usage during the design phase. It’s perfect, please place me in this compartment, Mr. Lin.

This way, not only can you move more freely, but I can also extend part of my body inside to connect to feedback ports and provide you with assistance."

Lin Li had no objections, adjusting his hand position, and once Zhu Ning entered, he closed the hatch according to her indication.
