Ch. 1976Giant Whale

The Giant Whale

Following Xiao Ran out of the mecha and onto the beach, Katia, Tinia, and Melua looked at Xiao Ran in surprise. The sea breeze blew, causing Melua to unconsciously hug her arms.
Xiao Ran walked a little further away and waved his hand. An incredible sight appeared before the three girls' eyes. A giant mecha, the size of a whale, emerged from the sea, its body glowing with a soft green light. It was an awe-inspiring sight, and the girls couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
"It's just a disposable special mecha containment device," Xiao Ran explained casually, seeing the girls' reactions. "This kind of device can contain a mecha in advance and then release it when needed. But because it requires special equipment and devices, it cannot be recovered once released, and the same containment device cannot be used again."
"Is this the technology from your world?" Katia asked, still in disbelief, looking at the mecha constantly emitting green particles.
"Mm, it's different from the technology in your world," Xiao Ran confirmed, but the truth was that the mecha containment device was completely made up. The only true part was that the mechas couldn't be recovered once released.
Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in the night sky, "Lord Xiao Ran."
"Wow, this robot can talk too?" Tinia's expression became even more excited upon hearing the voice. Flying Eagle, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up with a contemptuous tone, "It's just talking, we are super AI combat robots with super intelligence, what's the fuss about?"
Compared to the neurotic Flying Eagle, the Giant Whale was much calmer. The first thing it did upon being unsure of the current situation was to gather information. The deep voice spoke again, "Flying Eagle, conduct an intelligence exchange. I need to understand the current situation."
"Understood, Giant Whale." Flying Eagle walked beside the huge Giant Whale, placing a hand on the Giant Whale's armor plate. The two eyes flashed with colorful light, and it began transmitting all the intelligence since arriving in this world to the Giant Whale.
In just a few seconds, all the intelligence had been exchanged. The Giant Whale also spoke, "Intelligence confirmed, Lord Xiao Ran, shall we proceed to Orb now?"
"Mm, Giant Whale, open the hatch and let us in." Xiao Ran nodded. Upon hearing Xiao Ran's command, the Giant Whale opened a hatch located in the front center of its body, revealing a small space inside that was not large but could fully accommodate four people. Xiao Ran then directly led the three girls into the small space within the Giant Whale.
As the hatch slowly closed, the cold sea breeze outside could no longer blow in. Melua, who had felt a bit cold before, released her arms and sat cautiously and a little nervously on the chairs along the walls of the space.
"Giant Whale, Flying Eagle, conceal our tracks and proceed to Orb at full speed. Don't let anyone discover our whereabouts. Also, fix that Besi Lu onto yourself." Xiao Ran, having just sat down, commanded the Giant Whale and Flying Eagle again.
"Understood. Current coordinates confirmed. Route planning complete. Departing from the seabed, we estimate arrival in Orb's territorial waters within three hours."
"Wake me when we get there." Xiao Ran nodded and looked at the three girls in the same space as him, saying, "You heard it too. It will take about three hours to reach Orb. If you're tired, press the green button next to your seats, and your positions will be adjusted to a resting mode with independent space. We'll call you when we arrive."
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired." Tinia was full of energy, curiously observing everything in the containment space. However, the way she was touching her stomach made it look like she was looking for food.
Seeing Tinia's appearance, Xiao Ran suddenly patted his head lightly, realizing something. "I almost forgot. You haven't eaten anything since before entering the Photon Power Research Institute. Giant Whale."
"Understood."
Following the Giant Whale's deep voice, a pillar-like object suddenly descended from above. It quickly formed a silver metal table, changing like liquid. A grid on the wall popped out gently, revealing bags of conveniently packaged food, each as large as a shoebox.
Xiao Ran stood up, took four bags of food from the shelf, and placed them on the table. He said to the three girls, "These are food and water that can be used in special situations. Of course, they can be used at any time. I've tasted them, and they taste pretty good, so let
