Chapter 164 Little Firefly, Smile More.
[Top Ten Famous Scenes from the Investiture of the Gods Revealed on the Sky Screen]
[Top 5: Like fireflies drawn to a flame, they live despite the danger!]
"Ah, is that me?"
Looking at the golden ranking characters and clear images on the sky, Firefly, who was standing on Little Ika's back and holding hands tightly with Little Gray Fur, suddenly froze.
She first widened her eyes, her face showing disbelief and surprise.
Then her bright, starry eyes gradually drooped, a layer of deep sadness and unease settling over them.
Others might not notice her unusual behavior, but Liu Ying knew it better than anyone else.
Especially when she saw the dark, oppressive sky against the backdrop of the canopy, she was instantly pulled back to that desperate memory of fighting to the death against the swarm of insects.
Planets completely dominated by the insect swarm will forever remain in this desolate state.
The entire sky will be covered by dense swarms of insects, preventing even a sliver of light from penetrating.
Those in this desperate battlefield are constantly enveloped by boundless oppression and fear, making even breathing difficult.
Every battle she experienced back then was a thrilling, life-or-death situation.
The video title reads, "Fireflies fly towards the flame, living in the face of death."
She almost immediately guessed that what was about to be shown on the screen was her most tragic and least wanted-to-revisit past.
Her gaze flickered slightly as she looked at the excited little gray-haired boy beside her with concern.
All she wanted was to spend a peaceful and happy time with Little Grey, free from worries, sadness, and war.
She didn't want Little Gray to see her in such a wretched, painful, and near-death state.
"Wow, that's great! It's a firefly baby!!"
But the little gray fur next to him cheered loudly, jumping excitedly on Little Ika's back, with Mimi's ears twitching along with it.
Her gaze was fixed on the sky, her bright eyes filled with anticipation, like two little stars hidden within.
"Little firefly, the story that will be shown on the sky must be incredibly romantic! I'm so excited!"
Xi Lian smiled gently, but she immediately noticed the panic and unease that Liu Ying couldn't hide in her eyes.
She gently raised her hand and tenderly stroked Liuying's little head, her voice as soft as a warm spring breeze:
"Little firefly, whether it was sad or happy, mundane or epic, it's all in the past."
"We're all sitting here now, watching stories together, talking about the future. Just like our partner said before, even sad things should be remembered."
That way, you'll become even more vivid and real in our hearts.
"All your stories are proof that you lived with us."
As Xi Lian spoke, she gently lifted Liu Ying's chin with her fingertips, her eyes crinkling into a soft smile:
"Little firefly, you should smile more. It's not pretty to have such a droopy face."
Little Gray Fur finally noticed that Firefly was in a bad mood, and immediately grinned and came over to comfort her:
"Little Firefly, just thinking about all the rewards I'll get after the video finishes makes me so excited! I... I want them so badly!!"
"A reward..."
Liu Ying slowly looked around. At this moment, everyone present looked at her with gentle eyes, their faces full of encouragement and kindness.
At that moment, the unease and turmoil that had been building up in her heart vanished instantly, and she felt completely relieved.
"Yes, Aha is so generous! The reward he gave will definitely make up for so many of our regrets!"
"Will they send out a few Sam suits? I've wanted to wear a Sam suit for ages!"
Little Gray's eyes were burning with desire, and his little head was already filled with fantasies of piloting the SAM mech, soaring freely through the air and charging into battle.
Looking at the little gray-haired creature's enthusiastic expression, Liu Ying neither objected nor shattered her beautiful expectations.
Their Grammer-specific armor can only be successfully driven by Grammer cavalry with reproductive capabilities.
However, there are always exceptions.
Perhaps, under the influence of Aha's mysterious power, Little Grey Hair will be able to successfully control these mechs!
She was filled with anticipation. She loved seeing Little Gray Hair happy. Little Gray Hair would be overjoyed to wear the mecha!
After figuring everything out, Liuying was no longer sad or worried.
She snuggled close to Little Gray Fur, both of them tilting their heads back and staring intently at the scene about to be broadcast in the sky.
The sky was initially pitch black and deathly silent, with only the faint, rapid breathing of a young girl coming intermittently.
Just from that extremely tired voice, one could tell that the girl had just gone through a fierce battle and was completely exhausted.
"Command, Firefly Team Four has spotted the mother insect!"
"Requesting backup!"
"Repeating, requesting backup!"
"Forward! Forward!"
"Firefly Team Two has lost signal!"
"We have been attacked in the Rift Valley!"
"Requesting backup!"
"Forward! Forward!"
...
The chaotic and urgent sounds of broken communications pierced through the sky, each one gripping the heart.
Just from the sounds, one can clearly imagine the chaos, brutality, and life-or-death danger of the battlefield.
Soon, the screen above the sky lit up.
Liu Ying's exhausted face instantly filled the entire large screen.
Her hair was plastered messily to her cheeks, her face was covered in glistening beads of sweat, and she was breathing heavily, as if she would collapse from exhaustion at any moment.
The scene shifts again, revealing the entire despairing battlefield to everyone.
The entire sky had been dyed a suffocating gray-red, a hazy gray, with no light visible at all.
The sky was filled with swarms of insects, so dense they blotted out the sun, like a dark, oppressive wave of locusts.
On the ground, blue and red energy rays intertwined and flickered wildly, constantly striking the insects that rushed towards them and blasting them into dust one by one.
Firefly, piloting the Sam mech, stood atop a mountain of insect corpses.
She braced herself against the insect beneath her feet with one hand, her heavy breathing clearly audible through the mecha.
The insects around her were densely packed, buzzing like flies, circling and swooping down.
They moved at incredible speeds, leaving only blurry black shadows in the air.
In the celestial display, the Sam mech was already operating beyond its capacity, its energy core was almost depleted, and its body was slightly hot and trembling.
But Firefly gritted her teeth and struggled to stand up little by little from the pile of insect corpses, clenching her mecha's metal fist tightly.
With a powerful punch, he slammed into the giant flying insect that was rushing towards him, and a surge of immense fiery energy instantly flooded the insect's body.
boom--!
With a deafening roar, the insect exploded into countless fragments amidst the raging flames, scattering across the ground.
However, the battle was far from over, and there was no sign of relief.
From all directions, an endless horde of terrifying insects surged forth once more, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.
The Sam mech could only mechanically swing its fists continuously, smashing and crushing one insect after another.
Suddenly, an insect darted around behind the Sam mech and exploded!
The violent shockwave instantly caused the Sam mech to stagger, its fuselage shaking violently, almost causing it to crash to the ground.
Seeing this, the swarm of insects immediately seized this fatal flaw and swarmed towards the Sam mech in a frenzied, overwhelming manner!
At this critical moment, when life and death hung in the balance, a different-looking Grammer Ironclad mech suddenly burst through the air and rushed to the side of the Sam mech.
The mecha's arm swept wildly, blasting and smashing the charging insects one by one, and forcefully blocking the fatal attack for Firefly.
This newly introduced mech is more sophisticated and robust than the Sam piloted by Firefly, and its combat power is several times stronger.
Concealed in the wrist are high-energy cannon holes, allowing for the direct firing of high-energy projectiles that instantly annihilate insects into ashes without the need for close combat.
After clearing out the swarm of insects that had surrounded Firefly, the Grammer Ironclad turned his head slightly, glanced at Firefly's mech, and said in a steady and powerful voice:
"Stand up! The target is ahead! Keep breaking through!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he piloted his mech and charged towards the canyon ahead.
"yes!"
With unwavering determination, Liu Ying responded loudly and immediately took control of the damaged SAM mech, gritting her teeth as she charged forward.
