Tempest of the Stellar War Chapter 686

The two of them walked out . Their station base had been decorated by Li Yizhuo . The Zerg did not manage the rubbish dump much . Obviously, they would only send their army down for a sweep if there was extremely large commotion . Therefore, this place was also very safe so long as they maintained a low profile .

As for the Zerg borne within the green swamps, they were in fact rubbish Zerg . They could even survive in any holes dug here . When Li Yizhuo couldn't find any supplies, these Zerg could be eaten to last through the days .

Wang Zheng felt that the reason why Old Zhuo had aged so quickly was partly due to the environment . Another reason was likely because of the injuries that he had . He had lost too much Yuan Qi when he fell . However if he could still recover completely under such circumstances, the strength of Old Zhuo would likely not be weak .

Although his external appearance was aging quickly, his skills were not affected at all . Wang Zheng could still felt that he was consciously suppressing his strength .

There were such rubbish piles all around them . Some were even so high that it reached the cloud .

"The universe is truly too broad . We humans had thought that we were the center of the universe just because we had control of the Milky Way Galaxy . This was not different from the past where the people on Earth thought that Earth was the centre of the Solar System and having a narrow field . If one had to name the number 1 strongest race among all, it would likely be the Zerg . " said Old Zhuo . "Basically, one can witness part of the civilizations that they have destroyed . "

Humans truly seemed to have the blessings of the gods . The Zerg seemed to have attempted to invade the Milky Way Galaxy multiple times previously but had failed due to various reasons . This Abyss seemed to be a way to infiltrate the Milky Way Galaxy but the Zerg had failed at the very last stage .

Maybe humans were truly the chosen ones in the universe . Putting it simply, however Old Zhuo was not optimistic about the current human military strength .

"Old Zhuo, although we humans are arrogant, this is in fact a form of ability . This is because it was the motivation force to turn dreams into reality . " laughed Wang Zheng .

"Kid, it is clear that you have been brainwashed . If you can still maintain this way of thinking after 20 years, I would be convinced by you . Haha . " Li Yizhuo smiled and shook his head . He was also full of ambition like him in the past . However, this was truly what made humans unique .

Wang Zheng looked at the surrounding in a detailed fashion and recorded down the spare parts that he could use . He wanted to assemble his own mech and modify the Golden Wheel . To do his job well, he had to sharpen his tools first .

The two of them hung around for almost a day and Wang Zheng had a decent understanding about the surrounding environment . He could not hold back and ask," Old Zhuo, since you have been here for some time, is there a way out of here if we wish to leave?"

"Haha, kid . I was wondering when you would ask . Not bad . I have been looking for a way to leave this place all these years as well . I'm not too clear about the spatial structure of this location . All I can say is that the higher existences of the Zerg have the ability to control the power of space . I once spent a year delving deeper but this place seems to be without borders . Therefore this isn't a viable method to escape . " Li Yizhuo said .

Wang Zheng also nodded his head . Even if he was not eaten by the Zerg, he would die from just walking .

"The Zerg would open the channels every once in a while to dump rubbish into this place . Based on my observations, the moment they are dumping things, the entrance should be the battlefields of the Abyss . " said Li Yizhuo .

Wang Zheng immediately understood . Currently, the only battle field between the humans and Zerg were in the Abyss . In other words, the other end of the channel was highly likely the front line of the battle field . Nonetheless, if he did not wish to die in this place, he would have to take the gamble .

"We might have the thought of leaving this place but it won't be that easy . Moreover, we only have once chance . "

Old Zhuo was truly not hasty . He had already waited for so many years . The crucial thing was that this matter couldn't be completed with just one person . It would require at least 2 people to do so . The rare opportunity had arrived and his standards weren't bad at all . Therefore, he had to be even more careful .

Both of them had to first solve the problem of the mecha and Old Zhuo already had some thought about it .

Looking at the spaceship debris that was piled up like a mountain, it seemed that humans had paid an extremely big price when they entered the Abyss . All they could see was just the tip of the iceberg .

A typical old soldier would usually like to boast about his past . However, Old Zhuo did not have such a hobby . On the other hand, he was curious about Wang Zheng's situation . It was especially so as the rise of Earth was definitely not possible in his time .

Wang Zheng had previously felt that Old Zhuo was detached from the happenings in the outside world for too long and did not have the inner qualities of a senior expert .

However, Wang Zheng soon realized that it was he who was too tender .

Oh d*mn . Old Zhuo was just trying to find out more about what he wanted to know before he began boasting . In the past he had . . .

The year before the past he had . . . and the year before the year before the past . . .

Student Wang Zheng soon changed from being calm to being tortured to being calm again . After all, he was going to be the underling . He had to fix Old Zhuo's "Beggar" mech first .

This mech was also assembled from the parts scrounged in the area . Moreover after all these years, it had undergone countless revisions and most of the parts had been changed multiple times . Nonetheless, the performance of the mech was still great . It was just that it was badly damaged again while trying to save Wang Zheng .

"In the past, all the ace pilots were all ace maintenance technicians . Only with a full understanding of the structure of the mech could one truly be a real mech warrior . Therefore to become a great doctor, one had to become a killer . Do you understand?" Old Zhuo wasn't holding back in showing off his own skills .

One couldn't deny that Wang Zheng felt unconvinced initially . However, one would not be afraid of not knowing the stuff but comparing the stuff they know . Old Zhuo really had the skills to back it . It was already godly to be able to slowly assemble such a "modification garage" under these poor conditions .

One could imagine that if he wasn't spending all his time researching his mech and looking for an exit route all these years, he would likely have gone crazy .

"Old Zhuo, did you add a thruster?"

"Obviously . The openings were always in the sky . We have to fly into the sky to have the chance to escape . "

"Wow! That's so cool!" Wang Zheng was surprised . As a maintenance technician, he clearly knew about the mainstream mecha used in current times . The army and the air force were still separate entities . Other than some super mecha, most of their abilities were separated . For a mech to be able to maintain flying ability and strong ground battle prowess, the technical content was too high . The costs would also be too high and it wasn't suitable for mass production .

Obviously, specially made battle ships were an exception . After all, there was a great difference between fighting in zero gravity and fighting on the ground . From this perspective, Old Zhuo truly had some skills and wasn't just boasting .

"Actually, I cant recognise any of your mech's parts . My mech was modified by myself and I can maintain 5 minutes of optimal operation . " laughed Li Yizhuo . He was still satisfied by the surprised look on Wang Zheng . It would seem that even after over 10 years, his standards were still pretty great . This thruster was disassembled from the escape pod and it wasn't easy for him to find a few that was useful .

Wang Zheng was also making his own calculation within his mind . It was already not bad if the mech could maintain performance for 5 minutes . They would be able to launch an ambush at least .

Old Zhuo's movement was not as convenient as a usual person after all . Initially, he was still afraid that Wang Zheng would not be helpful . However after some time, all he needed was some instructions and explanation . Wang Zheng wasn't weak in this aspect as he personally liked it . No matter if it was disassembling or assembling a mech, he was good at it . It was just that Wang Zheng soon realised what was the difference between them .

The dilapidated and ordinary looking internals of the mech was truly amazing . Wang Zheng couldn't help but swear . This was because for an assembled mech, it was actually rather easy to make a mistake . However looking at the interior connections and electrical circuit combinations, this was truly the work of a master . It would seem that Old Zhuo was still being a little humble now .

Seeing Wang Zheng's surprised look, Li Yizhuo wasn't feeling great about himself . "Kid, you aren't too bad yourself . If you can spot the difference between us, it would not be a gap for too long . After all, I have spent over 10 years of work in this aspect . "

Surprisingly, this strange kid could actually understand what he had did . It would seem that he wasn't just simply a maintenance technician . To put it clearly, it would mean that he had done his own research .

With such a good student, Li Yizhuo naturally wouldn't be stingy and explained his modification process to Wang Zheng in details . The results weren't the most important . What was more important was how Li Yizhuo had made improvements step by step, correcting mistakes and finding the correct way of doing things . This was the most precious wealth .

Wang Zheng was also intoxicated by what he heard . This young-old pairing were spending most of their time for the following days on adjusting this mech called the "Beggar" . However under the strong request of Wang Zheng, Li Yizhuo had no other options but changed the name to Super Beggar…

Wang Zheng was also intoxicated by all the knowledge he was learning . However, this was also inevitable . After all, this wasn't a mech he was familiar with . The Super Beggar was finally repaired after a while . However, Wang Zheng's Golden Wheel was still a huge problem and he had to look for new spare parts again . Simply replacing the damaged parts was not enough . He still had to equip it with a back-carried thruster . This would take a long time to look for .

After completing a day of work, the old and young pair were eating from canned food and drinking some alcohol . If it wasn't because of the fact they were in the Abyss, it sure felt like a picnic .

"Kid, do you have a girlfriend yet? Pfff . You are truly not too shabby . My daughter should be a grown up by now . If you don't have one yet, I would recommend her to you . " laughed Li Yizhuo .

Over the past few days, the two of them had gotten familiar with each other . "Forget it . "

"D*mn, what do you mean by that brat? Did you doubt the looks of my daughter? I was the hunk of the spaceship in the past . Handsome and good looking wasn't enough to describe my looks!" Old Zhuo was furious about Wang Zheng's doubts .

Wang Zheng did not know whether to smile or laugh . "Great, its not that . Its just that I'm currently still at the stage where I just broke up . . . "

"Broken up . Ah, it is great to break up . After failing for a few times, a man will become a pro!" Old Zhuo seemed interested in this topic and bugged Wang Zheng to share his story .

After exhausting most of his time in the Abyss, age was no longer representative of anything .

Wang Zheng shook his head helplessly . In this distressed place, being able to get out was still an unknown . He did not ask in details and Li Yizhuo did not explain in depth . Getting out probably was still only a possibility . A more likely outcome would be that the two of them would fail in their attempt and die in the process . Therefore, there wasn't anything to hide .

Wang Zheng told Old Zhuo about his first encounter with Aina till the final separation from her . Wang Zheng also finished a bottle of alcohol . Having said everything out, he felt much better . He couldn't tell Yan Xiaosu and the rest about this matter . Even though they were best friends, there would always be something that he couldn't say .

"How was it? Wasn't it a little grand and vigorous?" said Wang Zheng as he waved his hands while waiting for Old Zhuo's comments .

Old Zhuo was truly surprised and stunned for a full minute . "D*mn kid, I was still intending to share with you about my glorious youth . You brat! You aren't giving me any chance to continue!"
