Chapter 63: Experimental Mecha
Looking at the various experimenters around her, she was stunned for a while.
After a good exercise, Mei felt that she had vented a lot of the inexplicable depressed emotions in her heart, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead slightly.
She breathed a sigh of relief...
Susanna, who was also standing at the edge of the field holding a data tablet in her hand, glanced at the man lying on the ground with sword marks all over his body as if he had been subjected to the torture of slow slicing.
She looked again at Mei, who was smiling as she looked at the experimental mecha that she had dismantled and was almost about to send to the scrapyard.
Susanna swallowed silently: 'Why do I feel that Mei-senpai has been... so irritable these past two days, what's going on?'
She had a very gentle and kind smile, but every time Susanna saw Mei during these few days, she felt a chill rushing directly from her heels to her head and then spreading to her whole body.
She felt like Mei-senpai might chop her with the sword in the next second...
"Mei... Mei, senpai, you have worked hard..." Susanna greeted Mei, who was walking slowly towards her, with some trembling hands.
It seemed that Mei-senpai was in a better mood now. Did she need to chop some things regularly to calm down?
'Is this the so-called aftereffects of the battlefield? It's really terrible...' Susanna, who had obviously misunderstood something, thought randomly in her heart.
But one thing is true: Mei's mood did improve after she finished cutting things at the testing ground today.
Every time Mei woke up these days, she always felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart, and she felt very depressed.
But Mei couldn't find any specific reason, so she could only keep it in her heart...
"The new experimental machine is much stronger in agility and combat than the old Titan model." Mei sat on a chair at the edge of the experimental field and expressed her feelings after the battle just now.
"But precisely because we wanted to highlight this agility and flexible fighting ability, our defensive power has been reduced a lot."
Mei sat on the bench and carefully recalled the feeling of the battle just now: "If it's on the front battlefield, I still feel that the old-fashioned Titan mecha is better. This new mecha is too fragile... It doesn't feel good to fight."
"I still think the old-fashioned Titan mecha is more practical. This new mecha is too fancy!"
Two slender and plump thighs wrapped in black stockings were stacked together, with her hands resting on both sides of the bench beside the experimental field, looking up at the energy-saving lamp on the ceiling that emitted soft light.
'Come to think of it, when we were in opposition to Anti-Entropy, those Titan mechas really gave us a lot of pressure...'
"sigh." Mei couldn't help but fall into memories from long ago, "Speaking of which, the most outstanding performance of those Titan mechas..."
"It was when we were fighting against the Herrscher of the Void. I was saved by this mecha at that time."
"Oh! I've seen the video footage of that incident!" Susanna was also successfully attracted by Mei's topic. "In that battle against the Herrscher of the Void, those Titan mechas with excellent performance could be said to be one against ten on the battlefield."
"In the end, even though we were facing the army of Honkai beasts summoned by the Herrscher, and even though the number of enemies was several times that of the Titan mecha, the Titan mecha was still able to deal with the enemy without losing the upper hand!"
"That's right...so I feel that those solid and steady old guys are more to my liking..." Mei smiled at the newcomer Susanna who was jumping in front of her.
It's just that while Susanna was excited, she suddenly felt something when she saw Mei reminiscing about the past.
Is there a similarity between Mei-senpai and the elders in her family who are always reminiscing about the past? Is this really the experience of the elders?
However, at this moment, Mei's eyes were like a knife, stimulating Susanna again and causing her to take several steps back.
"Susanna, I feel like you're thinking about something very rude." When women reach a certain stage, they are always unexpectedly sensitive to certain things, one of which is age...
'Mei-senpai you read minds?' Susanna was sweating profusely, but she still said in a trembling voice, "How is it possible? you are one of the people I respect the most in the seniors of Schicksal."
"That's how I know all the stories of Mei-senpai and other seniors! I've read the recorded materials countless times."
Mei lowered her head and sighed helplessly. Sometimes, it is a pity to see those new people who are lively and energetic in her place and those younger and younger faces appear in her original position.
Only then will she realize that a long time has passed and she has grown older without realizing it...
Susanna scratched her head. 'What happened to Mei-senpai? Why did she turn around and sigh?'
'Is it menopause?'
'Speaking of which, Susanna is also a child, naive and very reckless, just like Kiana when she was young.'
Mei looked at Susanna's innocent and puzzled expression again. Whatever this child was thinking was written all over her face.
"Mei!"
However, just when the seniors and juniors were having a happy and friendly conversation.
An angry voice came from the gate of the testing ground.
Dr. Tesla, with her red hair tied into two ponytails, ran towards them as if she was very angry.
"Mei! What are you doing there?!"
"Dr. Tesla? What's wrong?" Mei asked with a confused look on her face.
"What else can happen? Why did you just dismantle the experimental machine like that?" Tesla shouted angrily like a kitten.
"Aren't we going to test the combat effectiveness of this experimental mecha? I feel like we have tested the combat effectiveness of this experimental mecha very well!"
Tesla took a deep breath and tried to suppress her anger. "It is a combat test, but the main job of our new mecha is to maintain law and order and catch criminals..."
"What needs to be tested is not the combat capability of direct confrontation! Rather, it is the test of the ability to capture flexible targets!"
"That is to say..." Tesla angrily said word by word through her teeth, "Mei, you just need to keep dodging in the experimental field, and the catching ability of this experimental mecha will be enough..."
