Chapter 944 - Mecha (1/2)
After a while, Hu San came out from his hut. He first greeted Qin Feng, then announced, “Since everyone is here, it’s time to go.”
Hu San led them into a secret vault where the rift was in.
Qin Feng only had one company, so they went in first. It was a different scenery this time.
In his previous life, Qin Feng knew Hu San controlled one of the entrances to Dragon Island. However, he never had the opportunity to visit the realm in this wilderness. There were no fortified defenses. This was the first time Qin Feng knew Hu San’s key to the island was laid bare under the vault. That was why Hu San’s place was constantly being attacked.
On Dragon Island, Qin Feng could sense that an energy storm was brewing. It was at about the same intensity the first time he visited the island.
“It’s so cold in here!” Wang Chen could not stop shivering.
“Put on the mecha. This is not a place for C-tiers like you. You are no different from a baby in this unforgiving realm,” Qin Feng said.
Wang Chen immediately took out the mecha. The first prototype stood at about twelve meters high.
“What is this?” Beitang Gan was stunned looking at the towering mecha.
Qin Feng briefly explained the machine and explained that it still had untapped potential.
Beitang Gan was intrigued. He said excitedly, “Do you still have any of this? Is Fengli going to sell them?”
The S-tier did not have many promising descendants or subordinates under him now. If this mecha worked as good as it sounded, he would not mind breaking the bank to own them.
However, even if Chu Fan found a way to mass-produce them in the future, Qin Feng would not sell them. It would be the Fengli Organization’s ultimate weapon.
“We only have one prototype so far. Besides, they are not for sale. My apology, Master Beitang,” Qin Feng replied honestly.
“Don’t be. There’s nothing to be sorry about,” Beitang said.
Qin Feng did not want to offend Beitang Gan. When they were discussing their respective roles, Qin Feng had opted to contribute weapons and money, while Beitang Gan did not have a lot of assets so he could only supply manpower. As such, Beitang Gan would be stationed inside the realm most of the time. Qin Feng did not want Beitang Gan to think that he was being secretive, which might prompt the latter to pick on Wang Chen later.
The rest of the troop came in successively and they were all amazed by the mecha. As for Wang Chen, though he had no idea how he would fare now against other aptitude users, at least the mecha helped to barricade conscious probes coming from the A and B-tiers. That alone was already a huge relief to him.
Besides, it felt good to stand tall above everyone else.
The crowd did not stagnate for too long and got rolling quickly. First, they had to construct a fortress that could at least defend against wild beasts.
Based on previous battles and explorations, Hu San discovered that the frozen peaks around this island could be used as a natural barrier to resist the energy storm. However, ice frozen by aptitude users or normal ice did not have a similar effect.
That was why Hu San had requested for so many men. They were needed to excavate the special ice from the peaks to be used as their fortress’s building blocks.
The nearest peak to their location was about ten kilometers away. Nobody knew how dangerous it would be out there when the storm hit.
“I will go check out the location first with Qin Feng. You guys should stay here and protect the others,” Hu San said.
“Send those C-tiers back through the rift first. Have them come back in only when we have had the ice brought back here. The energy storm in here would be too strong for them,” Qin Feng suggested.
“That’s true.”
The C-tiers were too feeble in here.
Wang Chen was in a much better spot as compared to the other C-tiers. He was not affected by the storm being encased inside the durable mecha.
Hu San and Qin Feng then brought along more than a hundred B-tiers and walked toward the north.
