Abnormal crossing

Chapter 282 Big Eyeballs: You Can Rest Assured
woohoo-

The yellow wind whipped up sand and gravel, howling mournfully through the valley. The hundred-meter-high cliffs on both sides appeared and disappeared, as if they were about to collapse inward at any moment.

Amidst the swirling sandstorm.

Gu Wei and Hehehe caught up with each other and activated their mecha shields almost simultaneously, walking step by step to the entrance of the cave.

The cave is about five or six meters high, and neither Fisherman's Wrath nor Sharp Beak can stand and pass through it.

And what's very special is that...
There was no trace of wind erosion around the rock crevice, and it presented an eerie calm like the eye of a storm, as if a transparent energy membrane was stubbornly resisting the madness of the outside world.

“It’s confirmed,” Gu Wei said in the group audio after staring at the cave entrance for a while. “The signal is coming from inside the cave.”

Gu Wei had assumed that catching up with Hehehe would lead to something, but to his surprise, his teammate asked a question: "Wait, rookie, how did you determine the source of the signal?"

"?" A question mark instantly appeared on Gu Wei's face, and he blurted out almost instinctively, "The TK phase frequency on the control panel, the field strength reading and the image are obviously increased, indicating that the target is approaching. Isn't this basic common sense for mecha object detection?"

"Uh, is that so?" The beaked mech standing next to Gu Wei suddenly scratched its head in a very human-like way and blurted out, "I usually only pay attention to the accelerator and brake. Wait a minute, let me find the phase wave frequency switch. This is the self-destruct key, and this is the emergency ejection command. Oh, found it—by the way, how do you turn this thing? Turn it left or right?"

Gu Wei: ".?"

Dude, what school of mecha piloting is this?

Even planetary civilizations would at least look in the rearview mirror and on the dashboard when driving a car, right?

So you were exploring beyond the line for ages without even turning on your radar?

Also, this thing isn't meant to be twisted; you can start it just by pressing it.
"cough cough"

Then, Hehehe seemed to realize that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he controlled the Beaked Mech and waved his hand decisively: "Forget it, we don't need to worry about such trivial details that are unrelated to the battle. Now that we've confirmed that the signal source is in the cave, let's go in and take a look."

"No, wait a minute!" Seeing that Hehehe was about to crouch down and crawl into the hole, Gu Wei quickly called out to him, "Shouldn't this matter be reported to the spawn point and let the soldier make the decision?"

Gu Wei remembers it very clearly.

The Red Elite soldiers' mission is to maintain a straight line of exploration. If they encounter special areas or targets, it would be best if they could explore them directly, but the premise is to ensure their own absolute safety.

If there is even the slightest risk, the exploration team should not get too involved. They should just mark the area and a strong force will take over to handle it later.

After all, there are fewer than 30 teammates in this civil war. With limited manpower, any problems that occur in any lane in the early stages of the game could have a significant impact on the outcome of the battle.

However, following the current practice of "hehehe" is obviously a bit against the rules—who knows what's in the cave?
"Hey, you're just being inflexible, aren't you?" Hearing Gu Wei's advice, he chased after him, seemingly unconcerned: "Firstly, a general in the field may not always obey orders. Adaptability is a quality that a top-notch mech pilot must possess. There are many classic battles in history that were won by mech pilots who disobeyed orders."

"Secondly, other teams either detected biomass or confirmed the information on the supply points, while our group only reported one location and then knew nothing about it when asked. How could I face the others after the game?"

Gu Wei: "."

Isn't the second reason the key point?

He then caught up with Hehehe and ignored Gu Wei, directly controlling the Beaked Mech to the cave entrance, crouching down and crawling inside.

Hmm, visually it looks a bit like crawling through a dog hole.
"."

Inside the cockpit, Gu Wei frowned deeply upon seeing this, sighed with great melancholy, and opened the communication bar to report the situation to the Red Elite soldier for a decision.

To be honest, Gu Wei isn't the type to tattle, but given the current situation, it's not appropriate for him to stay or leave on his own. Letting the elite Red Army soldiers make the decision is the best course of action.

Having a teammate like this is exhausting. All I can do is silently repeat to myself a hundred times that foreigners have different perspectives.
However.
The signal from the Red Elite soldiers hasn't been connected yet.

As soon as they caught up with the hole where "Hehehehe" had disappeared, an extremely strong dragging force came from it, pulling the entire Fishing Man's Fury into the hole without any resistance, just like being hit by Blitzcrank's Q in League of Legends.

Gu Wei: "??????"

No, what's going on?
But before the question mark in his mind could fully emerge, the terrifying dragging force suddenly disappeared after he entered the cave.

Just like when he stumbled a little while walking, Gu Wei regained his full mobility almost immediately after regaining his footing.

I only see this moment.

Standing right next to him was the sharp-beaked mech that had caught up with Hehehe, the two of them only a few meters apart.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to come in too?" Seeing Gu Wei appear, Hehehe seemed quite happy: "You're a true friend. Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Gu Wei's lips twitched: "."

Hey bro, what's the material that makes up your confidence? Can you spare me a hundred or two?
He then ignored the clown and began to observe his surroundings.

Unlike the narrow entrance that required people to squeeze through, the interior of this cave was far more magnificent than the entrance revealed. Although the entrance was only five or six meters high, the interior resembled a hollowed-out mountain belly, forming a huge dome structure.

The dome is thirty or forty meters high, spacious enough for their mechs to stand upright and even walk side by side.

The two were standing on a relatively flat rocky ground, free from any sand or dust blown in from the outside. The instruments on the control panel showed that the internal humidity was quite comfortable, as if it were two completely isolated worlds from the devastating sandstorm outside.

The rocky ground stretched forward from where Gu Wei was, disappearing deeper into the dense darkness.

"correct."

Then, Gu Wei thought of something else and quickly pressed the communication button, wanting to contact Yuan Ge and the Red Elite Soldiers.

"Don't try, it won't connect," the voice of the big-eyed robot rang out from the AI ​​before his finger even touched the command button: "The signal here is blocked by some special mechanism. External communication can't get in. It's an independent space within the game."

Gu Wei's finger, which was reaching for the command, froze instantly, and then he turned his head to look back where it came from.

as predicted.

The cave entrance behind them had vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Seeing this, Gu Wei couldn't help but frown: "Big Eyes, what's going on?"

“It’s a secondary creation of the Mech Overlord mainframe,” Big Eyes hummed, sounding much more relaxed than Gu Wei. “Anyway, this hole definitely didn’t exist in the original history of the Universal Cataclysm, so it can only be a special area generated by the Mech Overlord mainframe.”

"This lousy game occasionally creates some independent spaces to add so-called fun. I don't think I can interfere with these uncontrollable scenarios that are completely generated by the official team. Of course, the so-called uncontrollability only applies to the game process and cannot affect reality. You can rest assured."

Gu Wei: "."
