Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 1026: Gunshot on the Snowfield


The Federation ultimately placed even more of their hopes onto Sky Shadow, and the pressure fell upon Feng Yi, who proved himself time and again with exceptional performances. But does this mean Sky Shadow is weak? No, on the contrary, Sky Shadow is very strong. Even in Mecha Battle, there are very few opponents who can contend with Sky Shadow. And this is while being limited by physical conditions. If he were in normal condition, Sky Shadow would not be inferior to anyone.

Therefore, Sky Shadow's thoughts also came with his considerations, his logic.

"Sky Shadow, one more day won't hurt; let's wait a little longer,"

At this moment, Roland, who had arrived by Sky Shadow's side without notice, whispered to him.

"Haven't we already waited for two days? Continuing to wait would be pointless,"

"What we see is only the surface; we have no understanding of the common knowledge in these dimensions. The evolution of life here might be the same as ours, or there might be issues that we fail to notice. Rash contact with the people here could change the history of this universe." Roland paused, then abruptly changed the topic, "According to Blade Warrior's calculations, a normal person can last at most three days. And that person is very likely Feng Yi. Since we've waited for two days, I don't think one more day would matter, would it?"

"Then do as you wish; I'll wait one more day," Sky Shadow pondered for a moment before replying.

At this time, Feng Yi, who was located in a snowy field, was unaware of the ambush. Since he had stored the military monitoring devices in the Space Crystal, he had been hiding in a pre-dug pit, employing this time to tinker with the monitors. He had to admit that the equipment on these monitors, especially the high-energy laser devices, which belonged to military weaponry, gave Feng Yi quite a shock. Typically, freelance mercenaries on Colonial Planet 103 would not possess such equipment, yet these monitors had them.

However, as Feng Yi decided to leave, intending to run to the repair center to modify this equipment, he suddenly discovered something resembling a Mecha Shuttle not far from him, monitored by the same kind of devices.

But their monitoring devices seemed scarce, only a few pathetic ones left, showing that most were brought down during the rapid-fire duel.

At this moment, Feng Yi dared not show himself rashly. Initially, he could casually take down the monitors because the enemy was in the open while he was hidden and there was no one nearby. But now the situation was different. A peculiar device, unknown to him, was less than one thousand meters away. If he attempted a breakout, he would be detected by the enemy immediately.

It seemed that the opponent had anticipated that he hadn't gone far and was hiding in the vicinity. But due to the endless snow all around, the enemy did not know where to search and had decided to lie in wait for him instead.

In other words, the snow acted as perfect natural cover for him, but it also greatly increased the difficulty of his escape. If he attempted to flee, his body would surely be exposed in the open, and he did not believe he could match the speed of the Mecha Shuttle.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, his personal level was just at quasi-standard 1. He had no issues dealing with ordinary people, but Feng Yi was unclear about the configurations on the enemy's Mecha Shuttle.

He had not considered launching a surprise attack. Even though Colonial Planet 103 was lawless, Feng Yi, as a freelance mercenary, still had his ethical bottom line. After all, it was him who first brought down the enemy's monitors, attracting this trouble. If someone came to settle scores, so be it. But to further scheme for their wealth and life was not in his code of conduct. Of course, if the enemy aimed to kill him, that would be a different matter altogether, but without clarity on the enemy's intentions—whether they were there for recompense or some other reason—taking the initiative to attack was not in line with Feng Yi's principles.

Fortunately, his body could withstand such harsh cold. Still, despite that, no person's body could be exposed in such a dreadful place for long. One could say that throughout the day, countless game had slipped by right before his eyes, yet Feng Yi remained in hiding.

Of course, he wanted to hunt his game. The game meant money, warmth, and a full belly. The remaining furs could also be sold on the black market for a bit of cash. It was the appearance of that strange Mecha Shuttle that made Feng Yi decide to stay hidden and observe, waiting for the enemy to leave. However, the enemy seemed determined to outwait him, which greatly exceeded Feng Yi's expectations.

Unknown to others, but on Colonial Planet 103, no one had more patience for hiding than Feng Yi. Perhaps because the enemy had a Mecha Shuttle to provide warmth, they could afford to be patient and persist.

But he himself could not. Everyone is made of flesh, and no matter how strong one's resilience to cold, without the replenishment of food and warmth, one cannot last long.

Feng Yi had not prepared much food before coming: two bags of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water. It should be noted that he kept the water inside Space Crystal, not on his person. If the water had been carried outside, it would have frozen into ice within minutes due to the severe cold. Hence, Feng Yi stored it inside the Space Crystal.

Nevertheless, the water wasn't the real issue. At least the snow here was very clean, and even without water, one could quench their thirst by eating snow. However, food was a different matter. A normal person might survive ten days or so without food, but in the unique environment of Colonial Planet 103, lacking food would lead only to death. The body's energy would be rapidly depleted, at a rate five times faster than in temperate regions. The chill of winter nights would whisk away any hint of warmth the body produced, and even the clothes and undergarments one wore would be cold.
