After Forced Marriage [Female A Male O] (ChatGPT translation)

Chapter 49: Pursuit 05 6.8

The crowd cheered and followed Yang Xingwu towards the mecha docking bay. 

After giving some instructions to the captain, Fu Dongni also left the observation room. She had something to discuss with Pei Hengzhi. 

When she arrived, she found that Pei Hengzhi was already in the docking bay, helping everyone to debug the mechas. 

Starting up a mecha requires a necessary process, and the mecha pilots need to do the debugging in advance to eliminate any potential malfunctions before battle. 

There was only one mecha pilot on the warship, Pei Hengzhi, and debugging so many mechas was no small task. 

But before Fu Dongni could say anything, he had already thought of and started doing it. 

Fu Dongni stood at the door of the mecha docking bay, looking at the busy figure inside, feeling a warm feeling rising in her heart. 

Yang Xingwu saw her and followed her gaze, his thoughts stirring as he lightly knocked on the mecha Pei Hengzhi was debugging, whispering, "Mr. Pei, the general is looking for you. You should go out and see what he wants." 

Upon hearing this, Pei Hengzhi suddenly turned around and met Fu Dongni's rare gentle eyes, a deep blue color that rippled gently, making it easy to get lost in them. 

He stood there, lips slightly parted, stunned.Fu Dongni raised his hand and beckoned him with his index finger: "Come here."

Despite the crisis, the preparatory mecha troops stationed there in an orderly manner, waiting for instructions, exchanged a teasing glance and let out a prolonged cheer in unison: "Oh!"

The fluctuating tone sounded a bit calm in the face of danger.

Fu Dongni's gaze swept over the group of young and lively faces, and he couldn't help but smile. Then he cleared his throat and pretended to be stern: "What 'oh'? Prepare properly."

Pei Hengzhi put down what he was holding and walked out of the door under the hot gaze of everyone, without any embarrassment due to the cheering.

In front of everyone except Fu Dongni, he mostly had a gentle and elegant demeanor.

Fu Dongni was a little surprised by his reaction. As Pei Hengzhi walked over, he gently wrapped his hand around his and interlocked their fingers, glancing at him from the side and clicking his tongue: "So you're not thin-skinned."

But as soon as he said that, a faint blush appeared on Pei Hengzhi's fair face.

"......"

Pei Hengzhi smiled helplessly and asked calmly, "Are you indirectly insulting me?""..." The sentence just now seems to have some ambiguity.

Fu Dongni raised an eyebrow, pretending not to hear, and pulled the person to the corner while changing the subject: "If you were to modify the weapon functions of a mecha, how long would you need?"

Pei Hengzhi asked, "Do all the weapons need to be modified?"

"Only the ability to load kinetic energy weapons is needed," Fu Dongni explained, "The SSS-level mechanical sandworm outside requires a special magnetic railgun to break through its defense. None of these A-level mechas on the Polk can do that."

After a moment of contemplation, Pei Hengzhi estimated the fastest time needed: "At least twenty minutes."

"Okay," Fu Dongni nodded, "Then I'll try to buy twenty minutes."

Hearing this, Pei Hengzhi suddenly looked up, "Have you thought of a battle plan?"

Fu Dongni didn't plan to hide anything from him and said seriously, "I will control the A-level mecha and deal with the mechanical sandworm. Yang Xingwu should be able to clear out the lower-level bugs with her team within twenty minutes. After you modify the mecha, let her drive it to come support me. If we work together, we can greatly increase the chance of killing the mechanical sandworm."
