There's also a mech parking area. Some people can't afford mech parking spots, so they store their mechs outdoors in the center of the 'concave' shape. It's relatively safe here, with many remote-controlled mechs stored. This area is vast, covering several square kilometers.

When five mechs emerged, they immediately drew the attention of the mechs outside. Many mechs controlled by Blue Star humans, upon seeing these five, let out gasps of admiration. On the Slaughter Planet, humanoid mechs aren't common. Either the pilots are true experts, or they're show-offs with fake humanoid mechs to flaunt.

Here, only humanoid mechs are referred to with the honorific "zun" (尊), while other mechs are counted using "tai" (台).

Of course, many people like to use "zun" to embellish their own mechs, so the usage of "tai" or "zun" has become muddled.

[It's really a humanoid mech!]

[Holy crap... that's a heavy humanoid mech! I'd be set for life if I had one like that!]

[That's called a "zun" heavy mech, yours is just a "tai"!]

[Five "zun"! The lowest is an elite-class mech. Is something big about to happen?]

[My god, so fast! So fast!]

As Zhang Hao's mech moved, he needed to test it slightly, so he moved quickly. The speed of this movement was terrifying.

His mech is very different from remotely controlled mechs. The reaction speed of a remote-controlled mech and the speed of Zhang Hao's soul-controlled mech are two different concepts. Plus, his mech is top-of-the-line. Compared to Blue Star mechs, it's naturally much better.

[Too fast! Did you guys notice? That's a custom mech from the Secret Workshop!]

[Damn, rich people!]

The Secret Workshop's mechs are undoubtedly the best on the Slaughter Planet. Their mechs are powerful and terrifying, universally acknowledged as strong. However, Secret Workshop mechs rarely appear and are seldom sold to the public. They are for self-use. Even if they are sold, they are downgraded mechs. Yet, even these downgraded versions are pursued by countless people.

If Zhang Hao hadn't wanted to test it outside, this kind of mech would never have appeared before everyone.

All communication channels were exploding because Zhang Hao's mech made a move.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed on both sides of his mech's back. In an instant, his mech traversed several hundred meters. The speed was simply terrifying.

[My dear mother, that's a blink! A raster blink!]

[Did anyone record it?]

[I was too busy watching, I didn't record it!]

[I recorded it, I recorded it! Anyone who wants to see it, pay one hundred Blue Star coins! Hahaha, hahaha!]

[The people from the Flame Workshop and the Thunder Workshop must be crying, haha!]

Many people were gloating, while many others marveled and envied. But one thing was common: they absolutely wouldn't dare to attack such a mech. They all understood that if they saw such a mech in the wild, their first instinct would be to flee. Only an idiot would approach.

Mi Feng said, "Let's go outside. Not here!"

The five humanoid mechs galloped outwards, kicking up five dust dragons. In a few breaths, they disappeared. The dust dragons they kicked up were instantly scattered by the strong wind.

Not long after, a 3D video appeared on the Slaughter Planet's main forum, with the title: "Super Humanoid Mech from the Secret Workshop Spotted!"

Countless people discussed it, drawing the attention of major powers.

Outside the fortress's defensive range, countless shattered metal fragments could be seen. There was no oxygen here, so there was no oxidation. The metal still retained its shimmering luster. These were metal pieces inserted into the ground. As for smaller pieces of metal, they were completely invisible, having long been blown away by the strong winds.

The five mechs galloped rapidly, soon venturing deep into the wilderness.

The Slaughter Planet is vast, ten times larger than Blue Star. It has over 100,000 orbiting satellites. In space, there are large armed fortresses and various spaceships, a significant portion of which are cargo ships. Any mech operating on the ground cannot escape the eyes above.

Zhang Hao's detection could reach outer space, so what appeared before him were densely packed satellites and large space fortresses. He said, "Will they be hostile towards us?"

Mi Feng replied, "No! Blue Star has many of our people!"

Zhang Hao recalled the handshake and immediately understood. Mi Feng must control many key figures.

"Familiarize yourself with the mech as quickly as possible. We won't be staying in the wild for too long."

Zhang Hao ran, jumped, and blinked, using various skills. Due to soul and intelligent control, he felt at ease, more comfortable than controlling his original body.

He picked up the electromagnetic sniper cannon and tried firing at a large rock in the distance.

One shot blew away the large rock.

The distance was ten kilometers!

Amazing!

Zhang Hao found it novel. His electromagnetic sniper cannon had several types of projectiles. This one could explode. If it were an armor-piercing round, most mechs probably couldn't withstand it.

Huh, a message came in.

On the Slaughter Planet, detectors are scattered all over the ground. Once there's any activity, it's transmitted to nearby mechs. Of course, major powers have such detection equipment, and this area is controlled by the Secret Workshop.

The screen immediately displayed an image.

Three heavy fortress mechs, one kilometer apart, forming a triangular blockade. Surrounding them were hundreds of mechs, bombarding the ground.

Mi Feng said, "Let's go. They must have discovered crystal life!"

Zhang Hao exclaimed, "Just us five mechs going?"

Mi Feng replied, "Follow-up support is arriving soon. We'll go first. If it's crystal life, we'll just snatch it!"

Holy crap!

Zhang Hao immediately became excited. He had never fought a war in his life, and now he was about to engage in mech combat. Was it going to be this thrilling?

Mi Feng had already activated and was speeding forward. Zhang Hao hurriedly followed. Their mechs were incredibly fast. The mechs of Zhang Yihu and the other two showed a huge gap at this point. Gradually, the two of them went faster and faster, with the three guards chasing far behind.

Zhang Hao ran faster and faster, occasionally using blink. Mi Feng was not inferior at all. His mech was fifteen meters tall, and each step could cover a long distance. Even with Zhang Hao's blink, he could barely keep up. This was even with Mi Feng holding back. If he really ran at full speed, Zhang Hao's mech might not be able to keep up.

Ahead lay a mountain range, with peaks rising and falling. Mi Feng didn't slow down at the foot of the mountain. He suddenly lunged forward, his massive body leaping up, instantly reaching a hundred meters. His hands, like steel claws, gripped the ground fiercely. The entire mech climbed again, reaching a peak in less than ten seconds.

After crossing over ten mountains consecutively, Mi Feng suddenly stopped. Zhang Hao almost crashed into him but managed to brake. Because this peak was very high, the battlefield could be clearly seen.

In the midst of the mountains, a small basin was visible. Three heavy mechs were hunkered down on the ground. These were fortress-type heavy mechs, requiring ten people to operate. Each heavy mech was surrounded by dozens of other mechs, boasting powerful defenses and firepower.
