I’ve Got this Cannon Fodder’s Back

99: 98 99: 98 Gu Gui rose up with a huff, his pupils narrowing fiercely, “Chi Qiu, come back quickly!” His mecha was fitted with a backup energy source, and even if the main energy silo was depleted, there was a way to deal with it.

But the real crisis wasn’t this.

If the energy silo were already depleted, it wouldn’t matter much even if it was completely knocked out.

But right now, there was still at least half of the unused nuclear reactor inside, and the bumping and crashing caused by the half-dislodged silo could trigger a violent explosion, and even the mecha could be affected or even crash.

Unless a way was found to get rid of this already dislodged energy silo.

Gu Gui’s plan was to try to shake off the energy warehouse through the mecha with difficult maneuvers.

However, the energy silo was currently in an unknown location, and any overly drastic maneuver could lead to a collision that could trigger an explosion.

This was a gamble on life.

With time running out and the crisis following him, he couldn’t bring Lu Chiqiu along to gamble, which was why he tried to find a way to get his lover to leave for the time being.

However, he had never expected that Lu Chiqiu would use the most elementary yet safe and effective method that had existed in the mech initiation training manual since the beginning but had been passed down as a joke by successive generations of mech controllers because the difficulty of achieving it was too high and the operation technique too primitive.

His mind was in complete disarray.

Not caring about the Nolut beasts that might be pouncing at any time, Gu Gui turned the mech on autopilot and lunged over.

Lu Chiqiu’s entire body had levitated outside the mech, vigorous vines replacing the traction straps that were not strong or long enough, and with the help of the weightless levitation in the universe, he was breaking the energy compartment’s clasp with his bare hands.

The mechs were all designed in single-pilot mode, and there was only one set of protective suits that could go out of the cabin.

Lu Chiqiu briefly raised his head towards him in the dark and dreary universe, his pretty face was mostly hidden behind the helmet, but you could still see the stillness and certainty in his dark eyes.

Advertisements There are a total of eight snaps in the energy compartment, and when a leak occurs or when it cannot be smoothly controlled by mechanical control, a manually operated tool can be brought along to dismantle and throw it.

This is the content of the initial generation of the mech instruction manual.

Because there has never been a particular situation that can not be dealt with, this design has also been retained, just never used.

After all, when facing the threat of destroying the energy warehouse, no one is willing to leave the protection of the mech, carrying hydraulic pliers to run to the outside as a loader and unloader.

After several generations of mech evolution, this kind of operation had never occurred once, and the tools used for manual disassembly had long been thrown away somewhere, so this option was not in Gu Gui’s consideration from the beginning.

He also didn’t expect Lu Chiqiu to be able to break a mech that was hard enough to hit a meteorite with his bare hands.

Outside were all the Nolut beasts powerful enough to easily destroy the mech.

The energy warehouse was half-destroyed by the impact, and most of the snaps had already fallen off the ones that were still able to receive the mechanical control had also been opened, leaving only a severely twisted and deformed one, which was unable to be controlled by the mech, and could only be shaken off by external force.

… But the external force Gu Gui planned for was by no means this.

The formerly docile vines were so tough for the first time that they refused to accept his orders, and Lu Chiqiu was still on the outside, doing his best to break open that severely twisted and deformed snap.

The prowling Nolut Beast quickly discovered his trail.

Gu Gui’s eyes almost burst open, but his mind sank further and further instead, not daring to delay for a moment as he turned on the synesthesia mode.

Desperately exchanging injuries for injuries, he did his best to protect his beloved outside the cabin firmly.

He was already careful enough, but the fierce aftermath of the battle was still difficult to avoid completely.

The single figure hanging outside the pod was shaken to the point where it veered and swayed and got back up again and again.

Lu Chiqiu was still struggling.

The system repeatedly warned him in his head that the strong attack of the Norut beast was bursting fiercely at his side, but it was as if Lu Qingqiu was completely unaware of it.

He completely handed over his own safety to the huge pure black mech and focusedly and patiently corrected the clasp little by little so that it could return to a state where it could be opened smoothly.

No sound could be transmitted in the universe, so the silent huge mech anxiously flashed its lights, typing out the contact message of “return quickly”.

The protective suit was airtight, Lu Chiqiu slightly tilted his head, his vision blurred by sweat, and the light haloed a hazy, warm glow.

He has to go back.

They have to go back together.

The last bit of deformation was recorrected, the clasp suddenly popped open, and the huge energy warehouse lost its hold and crushed toward the tiny human under inertia.

Lu Chiqiu wanted to dodge, but his exhausted body could no longer react accordingly.

His vision rapidly darkened, and he was about to be knocked away from the mech when the vines on his body used to hold him in place suddenly yanked hard, dragging him away.

The hatch was briefly opened, and Gu Gui’s unprotected body poked out, his deep black pupils almost flaming, one hand firmly tugging on the vines, pulling him back into the mech, and locking him firmly in his arms.

It didn’t take long for the dislodged energy warehouse to explode in the Norut beasts’ hoards.

A dozen or so of them instantly vaporized without a trace, and the few mechs that were close enough were also shaken by the aftershocks of the explosion and hastily accelerated backward to retreat.

Advertisements The surviving beasts had never seen such a battle before and were frightened by the drastic changes in front of them.

After a moment’s hesitation, they fled in all directions without looking back and disappeared in the twinkling of an eye.

Gu Gui’s mech was the closest and suffered the most.

Lu Chiqiu’s only calmed down when he was firmly protected within Gu Gui’s arms, and his cool and calm spiritual power instantly spread out, steadily blocking away all threats.

Lu Chiqiu tilted his head between his arms, wanting to blink away the sweat that flowed into his eyes.

Then the buckle of his protective suit was already opened, and rough, warm fingers gently and steadily brushed up, wiping away the sweat in his eyes.

Lu Chiqiu closed his eyes and gently rubbed against the palm that probed over.

That hand did not respond as warmly as usual, only unscrewed another bottle of body repair potion, carefully feeding him down.

The movements were steady and controlled, so strict that they almost wholly conformed to the most standard first aid procedures.

Gu Gui hoisted him onto his chest, skillfully maneuvering the mech with one hand, switching the backup energy source, detecting the movement of the remaining beasts, and issuing the order to return to the ship.

The whole person was as calm as a well-programmed machine.

The stuffy protective suit was opened, Lu Chiqiu closed his eyes, his sweaty forehead pressed against the muscular and strong chest.

The pressure on his body and mental was too great, and after confirming that it was safe, the system released the restrictions on his body.

Not knowing whether it was because the aftertaste of the fake wine was too strong or he had just drank something strange again, the intoxication that was too strong to be ignored unconsciously enveloped his consciousness, but he could still hear it clearly— Gu Gui’s chest was emanating the sound of an intense heartbeat that he had never heard before.

The mecha landed on the ground, and the crisis was temporarily lifted.

The mechs of the army chiefs had also landed, and all of them saw the difference on the marshal’s side and realized there had been a mistake in the defense line.

They hurriedly gathered in a circle to figure out what was going on but watched as their marshal walked off the mech with a sullen face holding his wife, and with a turn of his body, he encircled the people in the small space under the mech.

The Spiritual Power Giant Eagle turned its eyes and spread its wings, shading the area where the two were.

Gu Gui did not move, looking down at his lover in his arms whose lips were still pale white.

Nearly numb, intense fatigue gradually faded, remembering his trespassing once again, Lu Chiqiu’s mind, although inexplicably hazy and chaotic, still vaguely born some apprehension, pursed his lips and gently tugged on his cuffs: “Gu Gui …” The nearly frozen figure of the Imperial Marshal has a slight tremor.

Just a little bit… He almost watched Lu Chiqiu being smashed by the energy warehouse and then completely dissipated in the explosion, not leaving half a trace that he could find.

Advertisements If it weren’t for the fact that the body in his arms was real and palpable, such fear would have almost crushed him entirely, and he even had to completely block out all of his emotions before finally retaining his sanity enough to get everything done.

It had to be changed.

Even if his heart was no longer willing to let it go, the strongly agitated mind was reminding him … If he let it go so easily every time, Lu Qingqiu might again run out without saying a word at some time when he was in danger, plunging into danger that was enough to tear him apart.

And then maybe one time, he would never be able to find him again.

Even the slightest thought of such a possibility made him hurt so much that he could barely stand.

Gu Gui’s body tensed tighter and tighter.

His arm still circled steadily, but one hand had already flipped the body between his arms, lifting his hand to smack his buttocks down.

…

He is not willing.

When the force on his hand almost fell down, his arm’s muscles were as taut as steel.

But the hit felt more like a very light flick.

Gu Gui can’t hit him at all.

He closed his eyes and calmed down for a long time, his mind and soul completely returned to the place.

Disheveled and sighed, he turned over the body of his wife.

He wanted to crouch down and reason with him but was faced with a face full of tear stains and was stunned.

Lu Chiqiu’s body somehow began to heat up, light white lips flushed with a layer of faint red, black eyes dazzlingly scattered, curled up nestled between his arms, tears falling down his clear cheeks.

The Marshal, instantly in a mess, iteratively embraced the person, raised his hand to wipe his tears, “What’s wrong?

Don’t say no more, let’s go home, I’ll carry you back, okay?” Lu Chiqiu pursed his lips and choked silently, his chest undulating, dropping tears muffled opening, “You hit me …” …

I’m not!

I didn’t!

I just touched it!

The marshal who finally calmed down was instantly in a panic.

He pulled out the bottle that the Emperor stuffed himself, the Auca Star substitute for the improved version of the body repair potion he fed him before.

His sight on the top of the forty percent of the alcohol content on it.

His thoughts instantly dumbfounded into a pile.
