Can Ci Pin/Imperfections(残次品)BL by Priest

Chapter 48

According to the books, the asteroid belt in Sodo was a stable asteroid belt. Bixing Lu just barely survived from colliding with a planetesimal, then was almost hit by an unknown particle flow: "I'll be detained for changing the route randomly!"

He avoided two colliding planetesimals like walking on a tightrope, quickly crossed through the rubble in disorder: "I will file a complaint to the author of the 'Ecology Recording of Death Desert' when I come back, why it is not marked as 'this story is purely fictional'!"

More than half of the energy of the small mech was used for the protective cover, Bixing Lu did not dare wander at all, and the speed was too slow as if it's crawling in the universe. However, it was still the hardest video game that he ever played. It was so fatal that, he's only got one single chance. In order to keep himself concentrated, Bixing Lu played the loudest electronic dance music in the mech. Its acoustics were very garish, which was enough to annoy ten Jinheng Lins.

However, as he got deeper in the asteroid belt, even though Bixing Lu made the mech be like a moving KTV, his expression became more and more dignified.

In such kind of place, why was there a transfer point?

As far as he knew, there was no one else that could be bold enough to blow up a transfer point. However, if that was truly Lin, the mech Beijing did not even have a big enough arm stockpiles. What did he use to blow it up? His brainwaves?

The turbulent energy fluctuations got more and more dense, and Bixing Lu realized that he was close to the transfer point destroyed by the explosion.

He carefully passed a large planetesimal which was hundreds of kilometres in diameter, using the protective cover to barely fend off the storm of planetesimal debris: "What the heck happened here ..."

The large planetesimal went away along its orbit, and his vision suddenly became clear.

Bixing Lu's heart sank.

It was a tragic cemetery. Countless mech wreckage floated in vacuum. Sometimes, when planetesimals sweep through like a gale, the mechs rise like dust on the ground, then fumble into their new orbits. Under Sodo's gravitation, they wander slowly, lifelessly.

Through the mental network, Bixing Lu was even able to see one or two complete human remains floating in the vacuum, like a solidified wax statue. When Primalien ordered an emergency transfer, the non-combat mech was required to remove the remaining energy source and give it to the ones that were still able to fight. This command was not to let people who were not involved in the jump stand by or wait for their comrades to come back after triumph. It was to ruthlessly discard them.

It was known that in order to maintain the protective cover, change their orbits, dodge unidentified flying bodies, launch weapons, and so on, it required a lot of power, that was, energy.

The mech that didn't have power could only be a fragile space float.

The transfer point has been blown up, spreading violent energy turbulence through the asteroid belt, and this, was the Death Desert.

A "space float" without the ability of defense and evasion, abandoned in the middle of the Death Desert, only had one way to go – death.

The lucky ones would be smashed with their mech under the impact of the planetesimals, dying quickly. The ones with bad luck would have to watch their companions be swallowed by the Death Desert one by one, while they could only be trapped in a mech, unable to hide or move, waiting for their own destiny.

It was like being buried alive.

People who could not stand this kind of fear often break down, and finally jump out of the cabin to be finished in a faster way – they became the complete remains that Bixing Lu saw.

When Lu arrived, there was not one single living thing in that place.

Bixing Lu was shocked, as if a taut string had suddenly snapped in his mind. The throat which talked to himself for millions of words suddenly lost its voice. After a long while, he managed to spill out a few words: "Sc ... scan for me..."

The scanning task on the mech was sent halfway, followed by a string of flashing ellipsis, waiting for his following command.

"Scan...mech Beijing's communication port ... or wreckage..."

The mech did not have an intelligent core. Although its mental network was connected with its owner, the mech couldn't feel any severe fluctuations in emotions except the mind-mech compatibility. It meticulously carried out the scanning task.

Bixing Lu sank in the ground. He would subconsciously avoid things that was going to collide with him, but there was not one complete thought in his mind. His heartbeat seemed to be dragged very slowly.
