Lone soldier

The spacecraft's thrusters whirred as they accumulated energy, creating concentric ripples, and the jump program gradually shortened the temporal gate.

The incoming vine's outer skin was extremely tough, maintaining its fierce forward ability despite the mecha's multiple attacks. Sensing the threat from the mecha in front of it, it switched targets, aiming for the lower part of the mecha and unleashing a sweeping attack.

The right foot of the red mecha was grazed by the vine, briefly disrupting its balance.

"Be careful!" Someone in the spacecraft exclaimed.

Just as the vine was about to bind the mecha, its right hand supported the ground, performing a neat backflip to evade the vine's assault. In a quick retreat, it stabilized its posture, and the thrusters at its feet forcefully pushed, colliding head-on with the vine.

Close call.

Ying Chenlin rapidly adjusted parameters, expanding the agility range of the light blade by one interval. This mecha had the lowest wear and tear among all KID spare mechas, and since the parameters of the new mecha hadn't been precisely adjusted, he could only repel the vines while adjusting the combat parameters to his preferred values.

Another sudden attack forced Ying Chenlin to retreat a few meters, but in the next moment, he swiftly pulled back the distance, guarding a certain safety limit. He glanced at the mecha's internal time gate, slowly advancing.

... 120 seconds left.

Everyone watched as the red mecha swiftly recovered from the vine's sweep, continuing to charge towards the vine without much pause. The spacecraft's driver, with the clearest view inside, refrained from pressing the communication button, witnessing the mecha maintaining a certain safety distance from the spacecraft even after being repelled.

This safety distance didn't need explicit reminders, the mecha pilots on the front line were well aware of this.

Driver: "Initiate the final check, we're preparing for the jump."

Shen Xingtang's gaze also fell on Ying Chenlin, and she clenched her fist slightly.

As all the personnel inside the spacecraft kept their eyes on the figure fighting in the front, seeing him force the threat of the vine beyond the range of the spacecraft's jump, the light blade in his hand acted like an impregnable wall, completely blocking the flexible vine's attack route.

Inside the management bureau, all the staff worked frantically.

President Li Jingyan said, "Activate the emergency backup signal source, restore the station's signal!"

Staff: "Signal source activated! Signal restored!"

"Chairman, the spacecraft GK-1444 has safely entered the jump channel!"

The activation of the emergency signal source restored communication with the Qiu Jin control room, but the wide-range real-time image was mostly disabled. They couldn't observe the situation on other battlefields, only having access to the internal images of the station. All personnel entered repair work, and when they barely restored the temporary real-time image inside the station, what they saw was a red mecha shuttling within the limited space gate.

On the station's landing pad, as the red mecha swiftly passed through, the vines behind it followed at high speed.

One mecha chased by one pollutant, the mecha in front still had spare energy to watch other pollutants. The railgun in its hand became a crucial weapon to repel other pollutants.
