Chapter 379: Not a Tinned Can

Zhang Shan started dancing the inside the capsule. Right, he knew that Wang Zheng could be relied upon.
“Where’s Wang Zheng?”
Meng Tian and Zhang Runan looked at each other. “He’s injured, unable to compete in the next round. Zhang Shan, even if we die, we will not fall at the next hurdle.”
This was the thought of everyone in the Solar System team. Only after this experience did they understand how important this matter was. Perhaps they were indeed too weak and were not willing to take any risks. Although Lear was rather heartless, he was right on certain aspects.
And now, the chance was right back in their hands.
“Doctor, Doctor, I’m fine now, I need to get out. Doctor… I need to sh*t~~~”
Zhang Shan hollered out. The heck, he was not some tin can.
Although the first stage had ended, everyone knew that the second stage was about to start. The short amount of rest was unable to cure all of their fatigue. Other than Atlantis, Aslan, Arbiter, and the superpower countries who had arrived without much exertion, the faces on the majority of the teams were grim, as thirty teams had been eliminated in a single sitting. The subsequent round would still eliminate a large majority of them, as only a total of sixty-four teams would be able to participate in the actual competition.
Wang Zheng’s injury still made Meng Ao a little anxious. The report was out, and although there were injuries all over the body, all of them were only external injuries, and only two of them were considerably more serious. However, that was not the problem. The main issue was that Wang Zheng may have overexerted his abilities. His Ability X indicator had still remained at zero. The medical instruments here were used by Aslan and were top of the line, yet it was still unable to detect any trace of Wang Zheng’s ice abilities. It must be known that it was a C-class Ability X that was utilized during the combat, and the killing potential was somewhat surprising.
This was not an uncommon situation as the decrease could slowly be recovered. However, it was unknown how long it would take. This was not good news at this stage of the IG competition, but at least he was alive. Meng Ao did not wish for much, and regarding the next few rounds, it was all up to God to decide, not wishing to ruin all his hopes for just an IG competition.
Hence, when leaving the hospital, Meng Ao’s feelings were still rather optimistic. He believed that after the performance this time round, the image of the Solar System had been significantly improved.
Other than Wang Zheng in the hospital, Max was also present. And there was one other person, Mallorca, the driver of the transport ship. Although he was affiliated with the Milky Way Alliance, he was still a citizen of the Silver Snake Republic. The Silver Snake Republic had a stable foundation and strong national power, and it had emerged as a powerful force for at least a hundred years.
“Senior, what happened, how did you get injured?” A young man walked over and smiled. “This is rare, I thought you wouldn’t ever get injured.”
Mallorca slowly sat up, and he was already mostly healed. When Wang Zheng struck the queen zerg, he was the first to drag Wang Zheng out of the cockpit. He had then been affected by Wang Zheng’s spiritual backlash, which unfortunately had caused him to faint, and he only woke up after a full day, which could also be attributed to his own strength.
“Kong Zhan, sit down, I still have not congratulated you for the promotion.” Mallorca smiled slightly, still feeling a little weakness.
Kong Zhan sat down. “Senior, don’t say that. Our target is to enter the top four. Right, was there some kind of activity here? There has been such a commotion outside.”
Top four…
Although Mallorca was serving the Milky Way Alliance, his heart was still with the Silver Snake Republic. “You are in the D zone in the preliminaries?”
“Yes, why?”
Mallorca heart sank a little. Damn, the Solar System team was also in the D zone.
After looking around, he said, “Let me show you something. Don’t say anything else, don’t ask me anything.”
Kong Zhan was rather curious. Mallorca rarely had such an expression. It had to be known that Mallorca was a celebrity during his time in the academy, and he had led his team to enter the top eight before. Otherwise, it was not possible to directly enter the military of the Milky Way, as this was the core world of the humans.
His Skylink was switched on. This was a habit of Mallorca, to record down a day’s happenings and then examine then in detail.
Adjusting the time.
Kong Zhan was taken aback… What was this, was this person a death row convict?
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mallorca’s gesture to keep silent and just continue watching.
A few minutes later, Kong Zhan’s expression froze…
The air in the room seemed to have been drained. Both of them seemed to have been suffocated and quickly breathed out, and Mallorca immediately deleted the video afterwards.
“Now, do you know how I was injured? I had only touched his shoulder, but I was affected by his murderous aura.”
It was as if Kong Zhang hadn’t heard it; his whole body was still frozen. Was this even a human? This was totally a monster!
This was a technique that caused others to fall into desperation.
“You must be wary of the captain of the Solar System team, Wang Zheng!” Mallorca said. He was very conceited, and he remained proud after entering the Milky Way Alliance, but all his pride and confidence was destroyed overnight.
Kong Zhang still did not speak a single word, as if he had entered a nightmare. His whole brain was still filled with the images of that insane Golden Wheel Battle King.
Mallorca waved his hand. “Go back, and don’t tell anyone. You understand what I mean.”
Kong Zhan nodded. This type of team would not be disqualified easily. If… if they met them, they would have to find a method to give way to them, or else…
Against such an opponent, it was not a question of victory or defeat. If one was not careful, their whole spirit could be defeated by them.
The more confident the mech pilot, the more they would be affected. Simply just by watching the video, Kong Zhan had already lost his will to fight. This was a fatal blow to any pilot.
It was rumored that the Solar System had drawn a C-class mission. As a result, the team captain had still been injured and had shamed the entire planet. However, no one really cared, as this meant that they Solar System had just simply climbed out of a pit and would be eaten up by others.
C-class?
After exiting the room, although the outside temperature was still thirty degrees, Kong Zhan’s body was still shivering….. He wanted to flick away the shadows in his mind, but they had already taken root and could not be removed.
“General Meng Ao, I’m Bole. I’ve heard that Wang Zhang will be fine, congratulations.” After leaving the hospital, Meng Ao received a message from the general of Manalasuo.
“General Bole, thank you for your concern. Is anything the matter?” The relationship between the Solar System and Aslan was harmonious, but Aslan and Manalasuo were opposite poles. This was a fact that everyone was aware of.
“Haha, General Meng Ao. I’ve heard that the Solar System is preparing to update the air force’s armaments. We from Manalasuo are the leading battleship designers in the Milky Way, and I believe that we have many topics to discuss.”
Bole had already extended an olive branch, but it was also a situation that caused him to be depressed. The Golden Wheel Battle King could be used for actual combat, but he had just finished talking to the people in charge of the research. No matter what he said, they believed that that was absolutely impossible. However, Bole had seen it with his own eyes, but he was unable to acquire the video footage.
The key now was obviously the boy named Wang Zheng, who was unexpectedly able to use the Golden Wheel Battle King and must have understood the trick to it. If he was able to acquire this, it would undoubtedly give Manalasuo a huge upgrade, and more importantly, turn shame around to glory.
The Golden Wheel Battle King was often ridiculed by the opponents as the mother of all wheels, only able to support but not attack.
Meng Ao secretly smiled. “I’ve some matters to attend to right now, perhaps in the afternoon.”
“Haha, sure, sure. No problem.”
Bole was laughing on the surface, but he was scolding him in his heart. He had dared to hold him up. However, there was not a choice, as the Solar System was still hugging on to Aslan’s thigh. They truly did not require their services, but they still needed their help.
