Chapter 64: Saving Leia
Will I d*e here?
If I d*e here, will I fail the mission…
Can’t I just… d*e normally for once?
Every time it’s such a painful experience, it hurts so much…
If I can avoid dying, it’s better not to.
Chen Yuan piloted the mecha quickly towards the battlefield, murmuring to himself.
He didn’t think he could save Leia, nor did he have that confidence…
But, he had to charge in.
He seemed to understand why Leia had lost her composure that time.
Calm down? No way!
Can’t calm down!
Bia was fighting while retreating, and from a distance, he saw a new mecha rushing towards him…
As it got closer, Bia finally made it out.
“Commander?! It’s you?”
“I’m going to save Leia. Bia, watch my back.”
“Oh, right!” Bia immediately turned around and followed behind Chen Yuan.
Then…
For the first time, Chen Yuan truly faced the monsters that these kids had to confront every day…
Like a moving mountain of corpses, it was like a giant wriggling maggot…
Countless strange creatures combined together, emitting sharp and piercing cries.
Like screams of terror and anguish…
Chen Yuan finally understood why it was called Storm.
It was like a wave, rising and falling, undulating.
Each rise and fall seemed to open a bl**d-filled maw, swallowing everything in, obliterating all life…
…
“Why…”
“Is everything I’ve done… wrong?”
“I’m sorry… Commander…”
“I didn’t follow your orders again…”
Leia’s eyes were filled with tears. When she grasped Kotos’s hand, he had already lost all signs of life, and his face was contorted in fear.
She was frightened, and at the same time, she had nowhere to escape.
She could feel the mecha was gradually being consumed, and she curled up in it crying…
At this moment, a light shone in!
Chen Yuan charged in…
“Commander?!”
“Give me your hand!!”
“I can’t! The mecha is already scrapped!” Leia quickly wiped her tears, trying to control the mecha to reach out, but the system showed a malfunction; the entire mecha was paralyzed.
“Then you come out!” Chen Yuan held the exit, his whole body was being bitten by the monsters; even with armor protecting him, it hurt terribly, but he didn’t make a sound.
“I!” Leia glanced at the surrounding sharp teeth and the deep, bottomless abyss below…
Caught in hesitation.
“Don’t worry! I’ll catch you! Trust me!”
“Leia! Hurry!”
She closed her eyes, as if completely entrusting her life to the person in front of her, decisively opened the hatch, and jumped over…
Caught securely!
“Great!”
“Go!”
The moment Chen Yuan caught her, he immediately threw Leia to the back where Bia was!
Leia widened her eyes in mid-air.
She finally realized that the Commander, the legs of the mecha had already been swallowed by the monsters…
Bia caught her steadily, shouldering her and madly running out.
And Leia, was left in a daze, watching Chen Yuan gradually being swallowed, unable to break free from the monster’s grasp, she shouted!
“Commander!!”
“Bia!! Save!! Save the Commander!!”
“Bia!! Bia!!”
At that moment, Bia was already in tears; he had watched Chen Yuan step by step move in…
He certainly couldn’t let down the commander’s hope…
“Commander!!!” Leia’s scream echoed across the battlefield, crying heartbreakingly…
She could only watch as the commander, to save her, was gradually consumed by that monster…
…
Leia: “Is the commander’s life more important than ours?”
Chen Yuan: “No, they’re all equally important.”
Leia: “But a good commander can surely match several of us soldiers, right?”
Chen Yuan: “Hmm… you’re being too broad, my life isn’t worth more than yours.”
Leia: “Then… if we fall into danger, will you come to save us?”
Chen Yuan: “When does a commander go down to save little soldiers?”
“Hahaha.”
Chen Yuan: “I don’t have a mecha. If you can’t fight me, you would definitely run away.”
Leia: “So heartless?!”
“Hahaha.”
Leia: “But… Commander, if that day really comes, you must evacuate!”
“Please! Don’t come to save us, especially… me…”
“You must evacuate… our lives aren’t worth much…”
…
“Commander!!!!”
Being taken further away from the storm, Leia’s voice had gone hoarse.
In the distance, the sunset fell beyond the horizon, bleakly casting light over the barren land.
They felt like ants, casting long shadows under the sunset…
Not knowing how long they ran, they eventually returned to the supply station.
Leia immediately began searching for a spare mecha…
But everyone only had one.
She couldn’t find a spare one, and she didn’t know where the commander had come from.
In an instant, she suddenly thought of something; perhaps the commander had been hiding this set of mecha all along…
Thinking of this, she once again couldn’t help but tremble…
Quietly sobbing: “Commander…”
…
After resting for a moment.
A sudden, earth-shattering, painful roar came from afar…
The two immediately became alert; could they have caught up so quickly?!
They swiftly made their way outside the supply station.
Not far away, the monster was rapidly dissipating at a speed like water evaporating…
Countless monsters opened their mouths, letting out painful roars, like ghosts roasted by the sun, utterly bizarre.
They evaporated at a visibly fast rate…
Like a mirage…
Like decades ago…
The two were instantly stunned, and only Leia slowly stepped forward…
“Commander…”
“Commander…”
She clearly saw that small point of light sparkling in the sand…
It was the commander!
