Qu Jianlei first disabled the trap hidden beneath the mech. It could trigger a chain of Violent Explosions.

Many of the more intense maneuvers were inconvenient to test right now, so Qu Jianlei opened the mech's cockpit and stepped out.
Looking at the mech, he could not help thinking of Cracked, who had brokered the mech deal.
Cracked... how should he put it? The guy had indeed been somewhat arbitrary in the way he did things, but he had truly been a good person! Too bad he was already dead. And Xiao Jing now... was probably dead too, right?
