Reporting! Of Course I'm Reporting! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

A dramatic scene left Guxing and the others bewildered.

But the facts were right in front of them, forcing them to believe that their Commander had easily "stolen" this extremely dangerous being with just a few words.

Guxue, watching Tianling float in front of Qingyang, quietly sidled up to Guxing.

"Brother Qingyang seems to have a great attraction to certain special girls."

Hearing this, Guxing couldn't help but look at Changxi, then at the expressionless Tianling, who had a mechanical aura about her.

He suddenly realized, "The Commander does indeed have a connection with mechanical girls."

Perhaps Guxing hadn't snapped out of it yet, or perhaps this area was too vast.

Everyone heard Guxing's quiet mutter.

Changxi and Qingyang both looked at Guxing. The former's eyes were smiling, while the latter was full of surprise.

This Guxing, with his thick eyebrows and honest eyes, actually knows about mechanical girls?

He's not as straightforward as he looks!

As for Tianling, her delicate, somewhat childish face remained impassive. Her gaze was still fixed on Qingyang, as if she were uninterested in anything around her.

"Prepare to leave. The distress signal hasn't moved in a long time, and judging by the situation, it wasn't sent by Alliance personnel."

Qingyang briefly surveyed the surroundings, confirmed there was nothing worth taking, and prepared to leave.

After all, this exploration was already a huge success, and they had even learned some information beyond the usual scope.

For someone as curious as Qingyang, this was far more attractive than ordinary wealth.

The shuttle's hatch opened. The number of people boarding this time was one more than when they arrived.

Changxi piloted the shuttle back the way they came. As they passed the massive passage, the bronze parts once again piqued Qingyang's curiosity.

"Tianling, what are these ancient mechanical parts?"

Since there was an 'insider' from the ruins beside him, Qingyang decided to ask directly.

However, what Tianling said next caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.

"They… were once the life forms and intelligent machinery in the base. As for why they became like this, I don't know," Tianling explained softly.

"!!!"

Bronze gears, bronze parts… Is this the manifestation of Meme contamination?

This high-dimensional divinity is related to machinery…

No one noticed that the surrounding bronze mechanical parts suddenly lit up simultaneously.

Immediately, a distorted existence, composed of countless bronze machines in disarray, appeared in everyone's minds.

Qingyang suddenly felt his heart tremble, his spine tingling.

[Alert, Star Net detected trace amounts of Meme contamination, successfully neutralized]
[Please do not investigate related intelligence before T5]

Everyone instantly jolted awake.

"Hoo!"

Qingyang and Guxing exchanged glances, the shock in their eyes clearly visible.

The pervasiveness of Meme contamination shocked even the well-traveled Guxing.

"Accelerate and leave this place!" Qingyang said gravely.

The shuttle immediately burst into full speed, rushing out of the research base and finally docking with Taiyi.

Without delay, the Eternal Fleet quickly entered Near-light Speed Travel.

They directly headed out of this energy particle cluster.

They were better off not knowing, but after the recent Meme contamination crisis, everyone felt that this base was filled with strangeness.

Whether it was the inexplicable distress signal, the scattered bronze mechanical parts, or even the data disorder of the base's intelligent control system mentioned in the experimental log.

Qingyang and the others had not figured any of this out.

Qingyang looked back at the dimly lit giant ruin structure, feeling as if a strange mist had enveloped it.

This was not an illusion; this feeling was definitely not present when they first arrived!

When did it start?

Was it when they released Tianling, or when they started speculating about the approximate information of that high-dimensional divinity just now?

Shivering slightly, Qingyang's expression turned serious as he did something.

Report!

He directly reported to the Star Net and the Alliance Army that this ruin bore traces of high-dimensional divinity and had experienced a large-scale Meme contamination incident!

Since he was not qualified to investigate, he would find those who were qualified to study it.

As for Tianling, the Star Net had been online the entire time and hadn't said anything, so there was no need to worry about the dangers of exposure.

After reporting, Qingyang felt completely relaxed. He plopped down on the sofa in the lounge, ready to lie down and rest his body and mind.

Immediately, a warm touch on his head startled Qingyang. He instinctively opened his eyes.

"Is resting your head on my lap comfortable?" Changxi chuckled.

"..."

Qingyang was silent, bewildered, and confused.

Just as he tried to get up, Changxi pressed his forehead, telling him to continue lying down.

"Although the Meme contamination was cleared earlier, there's still some mental strain. Let me help the Commander relieve it."

Feeling a wave of relief wash over his brain, Qingyang no longer refused and comfortably lay down.

Tianling, standing nearby, watched the two silently, lost in thought.

The Eternal Fleet soon reached the edge of the energy cluster.

By this time, Qingyang and the others had mostly recovered and were energetically playing cards in the control room.

"Hahaha, we're finally getting out! The glare from the energy particles was making me uncomfortable."

As the particle flow around the fleet gradually thinned, the Eternal Fleet finally broke out of the energy cluster, which spanned several light-years.

However, Qingyang's laughter quickly died down.

In front of the energy cluster, tens of thousands of neatly arranged Mecha warships formed a fan shape, surrounding the Eternal Fleet.

The sheer number of medium and high-level Mecha ships caused the Taiyi's alarms to blare incessantly.

Gazing at the colossal War Fortresses at the edge of his vision, Qingyang's eyes twitched.

As expected, this Mecha fleet was entirely targeting the Eternal Fleet.

The reason was likely the first Moro Metal production site. They must have been marked by something when destroying the Mecha warships.

Otherwise, the Mecha fleet wouldn't have been able to lock onto the Eternal Fleet in an environment like Qian Sen Star Lake.

Guxing remained unfazed, appearing very calm. "This is quite lively."

Apart from those few War Fortresses, this Mecha fleet was incapable of Dark Space travel.

Escaping wouldn't be difficult.

However, once they entered Dark Space, the dangers they encountered might not be any less than facing the Mecha fleet.

"Ganging up, ambushing... Mecha actually play dirty too," Qingyang sighed helplessly.

His good mood, brought on by resting his head on Changxi's lap, vanished instantly.

Guxing chuckled, "No, no, no. As long as a tactic is effective, Mecha consider it an excellent tactic."

Qingyang stared at Guxing, full of confusion. "Why don't you seem worried at all?"

"Didn't the Commander report the matter of the ruins to the Alliance? According to the timeline, the Alliance Army should be arriving soon. What do we have to worry about?"

As soon as Guxing finished speaking, dozens of brilliant light spears streaked across the starry sky, piercing the Mecha fleet like sharp blades.

The Mecha's War Fortresses were the first to be hit!

Violent chain reactions and energy explosions raged. Faced with the sudden long-range attack, the Mecha fleet was instantly heavily damaged!

Immediately after, a large number of Alliance warships and dozens of God Hunter War Stars emerged from subspace.

They appeared within Qingyang's line of sight.

The ten thousand-plus Mecha warships didn't hesitate and immediately launched an attack on the Alliance Army.

However, facing tens of thousands of beams, cannons, and rays from each War Star, the Mecha fleet was annihilated in a single volley!

Subsequently, special waves emanated from the War Stars, gradually calming the surrounding energy ocean, which was on the verge of erupting due to the high-intensity energy cannon fire.

[This is the Alliance Garrison of Qian Sen Star Lake. Thank you, Star Commander, for providing the information.]

[Merit and rewards will be delivered after our army has surveyed the ruins.]

"Shall we head to the third Moro Metal production area?" Qingyang asked suddenly, watching the last War Star enter the energy cluster.

With the Mecha fleet suffering a devastating blow, the Mecha defenses in other Moro Metal production areas must have significantly weakened!

They could get more Moro Metal for free again.

Reporting really paid off!
