KID is Using His Brain

Navigating the maze with pollutants!? When these words were spoken, Zhao Lejie's expression changed slightly, and he immediately noticed Ying Chenlin's position.

He found that Ying Chenlin hadn't moved from the beginning, as if he were the coordinate origin. The pollutants that originally attacked him but were led away by Chi Lizi turned out to be the bait he threw out.

As the pollutants led away by Chi Lizi retreated, these baits gradually scattered. Some followed Chi Lizi up, some were thrown off by Chi Lizi midway, and then moved in other directions, spreading like an expanding treetop throughout the underground maze.

The medic mecha specialist was stunned: "How is this possible? The environment inside is so complex. Can energy tracking work?"

"Ordinary energy tracking won't work, but he's using an energy gun." Qi Sicheng looked at the medic mecha specialist. "You know the bullets from an energy gun are specially made. The more complex the components, the larger the target in the energy detection system, the more it assists Sink in achieving his goals in the darkness."

It's challenging to conduct geological scans inside the scientific graveyard tunnel due to the abundance of special materials and the presence of pollutants. Therefore, the other three teams used their respective methods for a carpet scan, rather than relying solely on the mecha's built-in pollutant scan or material scanning instruments.

However, Ying Chenlin's method was different. He didn't need to perform complex geological scans. By tracking the direction of the pollutants' energy reactions, he could quickly map out the walking paths of those pollutants hit by his energy gun.

Since the first encounter with Ying Chenlin on Tianyu Star, Qi Sicheng had been vigilant about this young mecha pilot. A person who excelled in both mecha combat and maintenance wouldn't just be a simple combat mecha pilot. "He is a mecha pilot, but he is also a maintenance specialist."

Maintenance specialists most often sought the optimal solution in complex mechanical environments.

Zhao Lejie was bewildered: "How does this person's brain work? It hasn't even been an hour since he encountered the pollutants and Chi Lizi."

In the live broadcast, others saw that Sink's use of the energy gun didn't stop, and all his movements only ceased when the surrounding pollutants slowed down. After stopping the energy gun shooting, he didn't make any other moves and remained in the original position. The mecha signal response was minimal.

[What's the use of shooting an energy gun at pollutants?]

[I don't quite understand his operation!]

[What's the use of understanding such an operation? Did you notice that the Giant Bear Team has already converged three mechas?]

You Su's movement paused when Ying Chenlin's mecha signal disappeared. He squinted, not manipulating the mecha's thrusters. After the surrounding sounds completely stopped, he heard faint movements hidden throughout the hive space.

Having stayed in the pollution zone for a long time, You Su had a high sensitivity to the environment.

In such a special underground space, even if it were wide and spacious, the movement and sound caused by mechas, these large machines in the tunnel, would be expanded outward. Initially, all mecha pilots dispersed outward, but as time went on, the distance between mecha pilots, the silent underground was shaken, and the originally faint sounds were magnified in such a space.

For example, vibrations, and echoes.

You Su's gaze stopped at Ying Chenlin's position. He switched to energy detection reactions and suddenly found some special energy reactions in the surrounding environment. These energy reactions seemed weak in the underground ore space, but they were indeed moving. "Huo Yan, stay in that position and don't move."
