"How are things on your end?" Yang Yi asked.
"Heavy losses, but at least I'm alive. We'll tally up the exact losses later. You wouldn't want to know. You could say we're back to square one."

He continued, immediately asking the most pressing question.
As it happened, Yang Yi had an idea too.
"...The only workable solution is to get this thing moving again. You've operated it in battle before, haven't you?"
Yang Yi asked.
"I have, but the main control center has been blown up now. The backup system can only control the core area...

The Tooth Beasts were trying to devour the metal,
