Living in the interstellar, my mecha is a bit more powerful

Chapter 4

The blade of the switchblade pops out.

The blade reflected a cold light under the dazzling white light, and she saw the reflections of herself and the star beast in the discernible blade.

Beneath him, the star beast was still furious from the pain and excited from smelling the smell of human blood.Its tail kept beating against the smooth metal protective net, and there were faint signs of cracking the protective net.

Outside the venue, the staff were ready to enter the mecha. They had to subdue the star beast to protect the safety of the VIP audience in the back row at the moment the metal safety net was ripped.

Five seconds left.

Shen Liang turned over in mid-air and faced the rampaging star beast.

She threw the switchblade in her hand, and the bloody switchblade hit one of Starmon's eyes!
The star beast twisted in pain, and Shen Liang fell to the ground in a weird posture.

She landed exactly an hour before she approached the Colosseum.

With her leg bones and arms broken, she sat in the Colosseum, watching with lingering fear as the two metal chains mechanically controlled behind the lift door bound the two-headed star beast back.

There were cheers from the audience, and Shen Liang fell to the ground exhausted, letting the ribbons falling from the dome fall on his face.

This was the second time she had the feeling of surviving a disaster.

The staff stuffed a thousand federal notes into the pocket of her jeans, then lifted her and threw her out.

It felt like letting her fend for herself.

She was lying alone in the corner of the dark alley, miserable and miserable.

Shen Liang struggled to send a voice message to Zhou Li.

"Sister, save me!"

Half an hour later, Xia Lu came with Zhou Li.When Zhou Li saw Shen Liang covered in blood, he was so frightened that he knelt beside her and cried bitterly.

Xia Lula pulled Zhou Li away. She released the medical cabin from an earring and directed Zhou Li and the two of them to carry Shen Liang in, who was covered in injuries.

Xia Lu: "What did you do?"

Shen Liang, who was lying half-dead in the medical cabin, regained consciousness. She moved her bloody fingers and took out a wad of federal coins from her pocket.

Zhou Li covered her heart: "Oh my God, what kind of sparring partner could make you hurt like this?"

Xia Lu observed Shen Liang from across the medical cabin: "It's okay. Although she has injuries all over her body, they are all minor injuries. They are a little painful at most."

Zhou Li cried bitterly: "Why do I think she looks like she's about to die?"

Xia Lu glared at her: "What are you talking about? Not a single injury on her body was caused by the star beast. She won't die. Don't worry."

In the medical cabin, Shen Liang's wound became hot, and the pain all over her body suddenly decreased. She raised her hand and watched the wound slowly disappear.

If it weren't for the fine or thick scars left by the wounds, she would even think that the injuries she received were all hallucinations.

She emerged from the medical bay quickly.

Xia Lu: "Shen Liang, what did you do just now?"

Shen Liang stood against the wall, tying up her hair that was soaked in the nutrient solution in the medical cabin: "Colosseum. I thought they were a sparring partner at first, but I was almost killed by a star beast when I went down."

Xia Lu's expression became unusually serious: "You are not allowed to go there in the future."

Shen Liang smiled bitterly: "I don't plan to go again... Although I am eager to make money, I don't want to lose my life."

Xia Lu led Shen Liang back to the staff dormitory. She asked Shen Liang to sit on the sofa and poured her a glass of hot milk: "Shen Liang, are you short of money?"

Shen Liang raised her hand, and the warm yellow light of the dormitory fell on her hand. She stared at her hand under the light for a long time.

She was thinking about whether to tell the truth to Xia Lu.

"I heard from my senior that I will learn about mechas next semester." She was very honest, looking directly into Xia Lu's eyes. "Many of us don't have money to buy mechas, so we have to save money. Otherwise, we will fail the mecha class next semester. You will be expelled from school.”

Being dropped out of school means being given up, and being given up means that they were sent to the Balan Defense Line in the No. 13 Military Region to fight against the star beasts without receiving any training on mechas.According to statistics, the casualty rate of individual mecha soldiers on the Balan defense line is as high as 30%, while the mortality rate of the abandoned students is as high as 60%.

Xia Lu fell silent after hearing Shen Liang's words.

"It's because the school didn't consider it well." She stood up and touched Shen Liang's furry head, speaking in a relaxed tone, "These are not issues that children of your age should worry about."

Shen Liang was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Teacher, is it true? I was in so much pain in the alley just now that I almost thought I was about to say goodbye to this beautiful world."

"That's all." Xia Lu scorned, "If you raise your hand, you won't be beaten like this."

Shen Liang emphasized: "That's an A-level star beast!"

Xia Lu: "It is possible for an A-level mecha soldier to fight against an A-level star beast without a mecha and kill the star beast."

Shen Liang held a glass filled with milk, sat on the sofa and swayed his feet, lowered his head unhappily, and pouted aggrievedly.

Xia Lu touched her head again and said in a gentle tone: "Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore. It's not early, so you can sleep at the teacher's place today."

Shen Liang raised his head, his eyes bright: "Then where do you sleep?"

"The teacher will set up another bed. If you feel uncomfortable at night, just call the teacher."

This was the first time Shen Liang felt the care from his elders.She lay on Xia Lu's bed, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and slowly fell asleep in the warm quilt.

She dreamed again of the little girl who was almost eaten by the flying star beast.

"Can't see me, can't see me..."

"Ahhh-"

"what--"

Shen Liang woke up again. She huddled in the quilt, rubbed the scars on her fingertips and palms, and sighed.

Her parents died in the disaster caused by the star beast, and she almost lost her life in the disaster.Fortunately, the escort team of a certain family on Balan Star happened to pass by. They killed the star beast and rescued her.

Shen Liang comforted himself while picking at the scar on his finger - he probably wouldn't be killed so easily by the star beast now.

Outside the door, Xia Lu heard the movement in the house. She put on a coat over her pajamas and quietly opened the bedroom door.

Shen Liang closed his eyes and huddled up in the bed.

When she heard Xia Lu open the door, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Xia Lu stayed by the bed for a while. After Shen Liang breathed evenly, she closed the bedroom door and left quietly.

The only tender moment she gave Shen Liang was that night. The next day in the fighting class, she took Shen Liang out alone again.

Xia Lu hated the fact that iron was not made of steel: "Shen Liang, you can obviously do a good job, but why don't you do it?"

Shen Liang: "Teacher, what did you say? I don't understand."

Zhou Li: "What she means is, don't show off, don't fish, don't lie flat, and fight seriously."

Shen Liang thought for a moment and stretched out his hand: "Teacher, I want to see the switchblade from yesterday."

Xia Lu took out a switchblade from her pocket and threw it to her: "If you beat me, this knife will be yours."

Shen Liang lazily took out the blade and said casually: "Teacher, I saw a knife that was much better than this spring knife yesterday."

Zhou Li was thoughtful, and Xia Lu understood: "My knife was brought by the [-]th Military Region. Do you want it or not?"

Shen Liang smiled: "I can't beat the teacher, but I can try."
