Chapter 106: Survival
“At least eight.” Hillman suddenly said.
Jiang Hui was a little confused.
"I say these stumps belong to at least eight star beasts."
"...Classmate, I think you might also be very talented if you study medicine." Otherwise, how could you fail? Such a stump can see such specific information, and it is done so carefully.
Hillman couldn't quite understand, so he just thought Jiang Hui was praising him: "Thank you."
Very good, this is an honest man, the appraisal is completed.
"Then let's... keep walking?" Hillman tentatively used a stick to push away the first few stumps of limbs, then looked at Jiang Hui with pure eyes and signaled her to keep walking.
"Okay."
The two walked a long way, and along the way, more and more star beast limbs were scattered all over the ground, and the air was filled with sour and fishy stench. The smell and some strange sticky feeling make people feel very uncomfortable.
Even Hillman, who was quite nervous, couldn't bear it now, let alone Jiang Hui.
The two of them walked forward bravely, and finally reached an area with a wider viewing angle.
“There!” Hillman shouted and rushed in one direction without looking at anything else.
Jiang Hui also saw the big thing parked in the middle of the forest at a glance. It had a smooth silver-white body and dozens of pedipalps inserted neatly into the ground.
Although it resembles a spider in appearance and is extremely vivid, Jiang Hui does not find it scary at all. Instead, it feels like the pinnacle of human technology.
However, this seemingly mighty and reliable creation is now somewhat broken.
Jiang Hui withdrew his thoughts and checked the surrounding environment again, making sure that there was really no star beast hiding in the dark. Then he followed and approached the mecha that looked very powerful.
Under the mecha, there were even more stumps of the star beasts. Several of them were piled up like a mountain. The entire ground seemed to be densely covered with brown fragments. When you stepped on them, you could feel everything under your feet. It was very oozing.
The two of them have become somewhat used to it from fear and rejection before.
But they successfully found the instructor's mecha and the burial places of countless star beasts, but they still couldn't find the instructor himself.
"How about we shout? Maybe he is sleeping inside..." Hillman's voice became smaller and smaller.
Jiang Hui glanced at the other person with an expression of "do you think he might sleep", and then said: "Speaking of which, do you know the name of this instructor?"
Then the two People almost shook their heads in unison, not knowing.
The two suppressed all their unreliable thoughts and began to look for the mecha's control cabin.
The more they looked through it, the more they confirmed that the instructor should be inside the mecha. Because one thing is that as long as they are trained warriors, they will not abandon mechas at will. With such a big mecha left here, it is unlikely that the instructor could have escaped alone. It was more likely that he was injured or unconscious in the operation cabin.
But first they had to find the operating cabin of this mecha.
To be honest, because this thing was too high to see the whole thing clearly, Jiang Hui and the two of them spent a long time just looking for the head and tail.
Then they managed to find it with great difficulty. They found that they didn’t know where to start. In the end, they had to climb up along some landing parts before risking their way around to the front. Standing on the seesaw with a height of more than ten meters, Jiang Hui looked down. Even without protection, he was not alarmed and did not jump. He was really promising.
The two of them moved very carefully little by little to the place that seemed to be the operating cabin, and then looked at each other dumbfounded.
Is this something they can dismantle? Could it be that they were a little too idealistic at first?
So they tried shouting at a nearby place for a while, but no one responded. It was like an empty warehouse inside, with no trace of life at all.
So there is no one?
No, although the fluctuation was very weak, Jiang Hui still felt it. But there was still no response inside, which made Jiang Hui and the two very uneasy. They decided to think of a way to pry it open and take a look.
As for who will take action, naturally it is Jiang Hui who is half-baked. She can be regarded as someone who has seen the introduction of mechas... Well, no matter how bad she is, she has installed many "masters" of similar models. Ahem, anyway, he is a little more reliable than Hillman, a guy who knows all seven orifices.
Fortunately, the spider's artificial eye at the front suffered multiple damage, and the entire cover and duplex structure were damaged.
If you use a little more skill and techniques, you can open it smoothly.
It was a good idea, but she also ignored the difficulty of the operation.
The structure of a real mecha is much more complex than a model, and when magnified hundreds or thousands of times, it gives people a completely different feeling, whether it is quality, thickness or feel. There is a world of difference.
Jiang Hui felt that he was really stupid for thinking that it might be possible a quarter of an hour ago. No, she can't.
But what can be done? The arrow was on the string and she had no choice but to shoot. She forced herself to translate the sporadic mecha knowledge explained on the drawings into reality, intending to break through this obstacle.
She tried and failed on the other side. It felt like the giant fangs were inserted and stuck somewhere, so that side was almost unable to move.
So she started from the side. Fortunately, this time she succeeded in a short time. The page split into two halves and fell down, revealing a corner of the internal operating compartment.
But just this corner was enough for them to see clearly what was going on inside the operating cabin.
The instructor they couldn't find was indeed here, always there, in the mecha's control cabin. But he really couldn't respond to them. Jiang Hui wasn't even sure whether he was dead or alive.
Looking at the person who was penetrated by giant fangs that were as tall as a man, Jiang Hui thought that he would not be able to bear it first. Unexpectedly, the one who collapsed first was the student Hillman who had always been said to be calm.
Jiang Hui stood beside him and could even feel him shaking, hissing in his throat, and his whole body seemed to be out of control.
The soles of her feet were also cold, and her entire body, from her brain to her eyes, nose, and mouth, was numb.
She felt that she was cautiously approaching the cabin as if she had no control over it. Her eyes deliberately avoided the pool of bright red, and she raised her fingertips to explore the other person's neck.
In fact, I already had a premonition. There was no pulse, not even human body temperature. It was cold. It was completely the physical sign of the dead. There was no mistaking it.
Jiang Hui's heart was completely cold, and it was already too late.
Then before she could take back her hand, the eyelashes of the person with her eyes closed as if dead suddenly moved, and soon stopped, but she was convinced that the person could still be saved, so she immediately turned around and said: " Wait, he seems to be alive yet."
Hillman in the back suddenly stopped all emotions. Jiang Hui heard the sound of his rapid footsteps, and then the pedal under her feet seemed to sink.
