"Backup units?" At first, Mwu did not understand what Xiao Ran meant, nor did she immediately realize what he meant by reinforcements. But when she saw the slight curl at the corner of his lips, his confident yet faintly mischievous expression, she understood in an instant.
"The backup units were all dismantled when we upgraded and modified everyone's machines before..." Mwu glanced at the screen, where quite a few Gedim could be seen, along with the Impact Legion mixed among them. She turned back to Xiao Ran. "But there are still a few machines Luo and the others never touched."
"We don't need several. One is enough." Xiao Ran smiled faintly and turned his electric wheelchair toward the bridge exit. But seeing that he could not even walk without the aid of a wheelchair, Mwu hurriedly stopped him. "What are you going to do!?"
"Setsuna could contact ELS in my place, but if he goes, he'll have to communicate with ELS all over again. That makes me the most suitable person. Still, Setsuna can be a great help as well."
Mwu was confused. "But even if you go out now, ELS might not appear immediately just because you want them to, right?"
"No. ELS has always been by my side. Ever since I first encountered them, they've been following me. A few days ago, I wouldn't have dared guarantee that ELS would respond, but now, after I've been unconscious for eight days, I can guarantee that ELS is absolutely nearby." Xiao Ran smiled slightly. "Don't worry. I know what I can do in my current condition, and I won't force myself. There won't be a problem. Also, prepare the backup unit."
"Be careful." Mwu did not put on any girlish airs. Though worried, she did not stop Xiao Ran.
