Chapter 619: Chapter 187: Trapped in the Insect Man Nest (Part 2)
The blue eyes glared, carrying a strong sense of oppression that made people dare not act recklessly.
They wanted to discuss, but there was no time; the evil insect kicked its hind legs and flew straight over.
Ji Heng turned sideways, sliding to dodge.
The evil insect rotated mid-air, tentacles splitting into more than ten threads, enveloping his mecha, changing course midway, surprisingly charging towards the Big Demon.
"I’ll go get it, you guys deal with them."
Almost forgot this kid’s ability.
Big Demon: "No problem, you hurry."
These elites can handle two evil insects.
But the door to the repair room couldn’t be passed through by the mecha.
The mecha inside the repair room isn’t allowed to just go out like that; it must leave with the matching Space Button.
This is where the difficulty of the mission lies.
"The mecha might need to be dismantled, I’ll follow you over there." A soldier equipped with mechanical limbs also dodged from the center of the battle with the evil insect and stepped forward.
Ji Heng was silent; that dead object wasn’t that important, no need for two people to risk it together.
Big Demon chuckled, knowing that Ji Heng’s soft-hearted nature.
Just as everyone else thought so too, Ji Heng turned around, figured it out, decisive action must be taken to avoid chaos, and pulled the mecha master who said they’d do the mission together into the passageway leading to the repair room.
Big Demon: "..." This kid silently does big things.
He knocked back the evil insect’s tentacles with his shield, the evil insect showed its teeth ferociously, watching its prey "escape" into a door but didn’t plan to chase, its eyes full of mockery.
Big Demon felt something was wrong, "Ji, be careful."
Without a reply, Big Demon immediately tried to contact them through the channel, but couldn’t get through, prompting Big Demon to slap his own face, "Something really went wrong."
Ji Heng didn’t hear this warning. As the two of them stepped through the door, they found something amiss; they had arrived inside a shattered repair room. The ceiling was underfoot, the floor was at hand-level, not far away was a neatly sliced half-custom mecha.
They had rushed into a chaotic space.
"It’s bad, we’ve arrived in the subspace."
The mechanical limbs soldier turned, the door was already gone, "We must quickly find an exit." The flow of time in the subspace is different; the insect people can resist the erosion of time, humans might not.
Ji Heng’s heart tightened, afraid they might really be trapped here.
His clever assistant gave him reassurance: "Don’t worry, my calculations are excellent."
"Found it." Ji Heng feigned composure.
"Hmm?" The mechanical limbs soldier was shocked, already found?
The assistant was simply an all-around helper to the mecha master, considering everything.
Su Xiaocai had anticipated they would one day break into the subspace.
Subspace has patterns; with the calculation speed of artificial intelligence, it can be easily figured out.
Thus, Ji Heng wasn’t anxious, he said, "Let’s first see if the Insect Mother is here."
"Huh?"
Ji Heng’s courage was frighteningly large, or one could say his arts gave him fortitude, his superpower gave him confidence.
Moreover, encountering subspace for the first time, many things remain unknown.
Ji Heng piloted his mecha to fly onto the neatly cut mecha, as he reached out, the mecha arm went straight through, it was just a projection.
But they really came in, no wonder those long in subspace go mad, because nothing is real, yet everything looks so real.
Real enough to be devoid of human warmth.
The projections in subspace aren’t from the same time segment; as Ji Heng explored, a new projection of a huge insect man appeared not far away.
Gasps were heard, Ji Heng patted the back of the other mecha master, "When we go out, we might encounter it."
Disassembling the Mechanical Planet has this layer of meaning too.
If the insect people open the subspace in the Mechanical Planet but hide outside the subspace in the real space.
Then those who enter the subspace have a high chance of becoming food.
The rest would die from being unable to find the exit, eventually becoming food for the insect people.
"The subspace will open a second time, in another direction to the door.
Later, we might face the mother, instead, how about I step out for a bit, and then come back to find you?" Ji Heng said.
"No no no, I’ll go with you." The subspace’s door is unstable; if Ji Heng goes out and can’t find the entry point, he’ll be trapped to death in the subspace.
Prefer to die in battle than slowly wait for death.
He considered further, "After going out, I’ll activate the Life Shield Protector." The Life Shield is the protective device invented by Su Xiaocai. Modified a bit, installed on the mecha.
Might deceive the insect people, but fooling the mother, absolutely not.
Additionally, to deceive the insect people, the prerequisite is not to move.
Ji Heng frowned, thinking this wasn’t a good idea.
"You sit behind me."
