Chapter 169.2 Butterfly effect (1)
Editor: Jodi
Not long after Sheng Heng left, Yan Hao took a short break to have a midnight snack, and just after he was done eating it, Master Di Ya suddenly came in with two spatial buttons, asking him to help overhaul the mechs within them.
The two spatial buttons contained a level 8 and a level 9 mech respectively.
“The owners of these two mechs were originally Major Generals in our War God Legion, however they were discharged later because of injuries. However they didn’t ask for anything special when they were leaving, only that they be allowed to take these two mechs with them. At that time, both mechs were severely damaged, and repairing them would have been very troublesome, so General Admiral Sheng agreed to their request.” Di Ya explained.
“But these two mechs look fine.” Yan Hao told him.
“After being discharged, they spent almost all their fortunes getting them repaired, but still, the mechs haven’t been fixed completely.” A level 9 mech was extremely valuable, hence whether it was the purchasing of parts or the hiring of a level 9 mech builder to do work on them, the cost would be substantial. Di Ya could even imagine that these two Major Generals must have been repairing their mechs while saving up after they were discharged.
“Then are these two Major Generals trying to give these mechs to us?”
“Give? How is that possible? They want to come back to pilot them themselves.” Di Ya said with a laugh.
“Their injuries have healed?” Yan Hao was a little confused. If their injuries could be treated, then there shouldn’t have been a need for them to have been discharged from the military?
“Yes, it is said that they went to Old Wen for experimental treatment, and it really cured their injuries.” Di Ya laughed.
“Old Wen? Master Wen Feng?” Yan Hao asked.
“That’s right. Old Wen often provides free treatment for retired and discharged military personnel, and it seems the new medicine he developed this time matched the conditions of these two Major Generals perfectly.” Di Ya told him.
“Was it the seas of consciousness of these two Major Generals that were injured?” Yan Hao asked.
“Yes. When they were discharged, their seas of consciousness were severely damaged, and the level of their mental energy almost degraded to B level.”
Yan Hao nodded in understanding. However, Old Wen had developed a new medicine so fast? Before he had come to the War God Legion, Old Wen had called him on the communicator, saying that he had discovered a lot of extinct ancient medicinal herbs on the small planet Sima Ming Xuan had given to him in exchange. Afterwards, he had been so busy that he hadn’t been able to follow up. Who would have expected that Old Wen would be able to research a new medicine so quickly? It had to be known that in the previous life, it had taken Yan Fei almost half a year to go from discovering the herbs to developing a new medicine. But Old Wen, had done so in just a month or so?
“Both of them used to be exceptionally powerful warriors, so it’s great that they are coming back. Although the zerg tide has stopped on the surface, we still don’t know what will happen next. I keep on feeling uneasy.” Di Ya said worriedly. “There are rumors outside now that the Zerg Emperor might appear.”
“It won’t.” Yan Hao said with certainty.
“How are you so sure?”
“Because…” It didn’t appear in the previous life.
In the previous life, up until he died, the Zerg Emperor didn’t appear either. Actually, in the previous life, Yan Hao knew very little about military affairs. He was only vaguely aware that the Federation had gone through a very tough battle at some point, however he wasn’t very clear about the specifics of the situation. And the time didn’t seem to be now, but five years later.
At the very beginning when he learnt about the zerg tide, he tried hard to remember it, however his life in the previous life had been just too monotonous, consisting only of the lab. At that time, he didn’t have any friends, didn’t have a social life, and didn’t have any interest in the news. All that he could think about was how to surpass Yan Fei. As long as Yan Fei came up with a new improved prescription, then he had to come up with one as well, so, he would lock himself up in the lab for months. Hence it could be said that the experiences in this life were all new to Yan Hao, as there were many things that he didn’t know.
Which was why, during this time’s zerg tide, while everyone around him was nervous and worried, he remained calm. And the reason for this was because he knew that this crisis would pass soon, as the crisis after five years would be the more terrifying one, because the Federal Marshal would be sacrificed. The reason why he remembered this incident so clearly was because during that battle, Sima Ming Xuan’s mental energy went berserk on the battlefield, and it was him who, based on Sima Ming Xuan’s mental energy map, configured a medication to control his mental energy.
However although he knew that this crisis would pass soon, looking back at the results and experiencing them firsthand were fundamentally different. After all, those death tolls that had been recorded in history were unfolding scene by scene before him. The only thing he could do was to improve the performance of the mechs so it could increase the Federation’s military power, with the hope that this war would end with fewer sacrifices.
“The Zerg Emperor hasn’t appeared for over three hundred years, where would it appear so easily?” Yan Hao told him.
“Let’s hope so, otherwise we would really have no way out.” Di Ya said in response.
“Let’s not think about it for now. Let’s focus on repairing the mechs first.” Yan Hao comforted.
“Right, let’s repair the mechs first. Every additional mech means more strength in battle.”
And smiling, Yan Hao walked towards the level 8 mech, carrying a toolbox.
Even if this zerg tide would pass quickly, the one in five years would still be dangerous, however five years should be enough. Yan Hao had confidence in himself. In five years, he would definitely be able to research then build a level 8, or even a level 9 mimetic mech.
By then, when Senior returned to the battlefield, there shouldn’t be any danger right?
In Yan Hao’s perception, Sheng Heng had gone to the battlefield because of his rebirth. It was because he had made the mimetic mech after his rebirth that he had gone to the battlefield, so he had the obligation to ensure Sheng Heng’s safety. He couldn’t let his rebirth become a misfortune in Sheng Heng’s life. However he had thought of all this, but had failed to consider that this zerg tide, might also have something to do with his rebirth.

Thanks for the chapter! Did this invasion happen in advance because the zerg felt threatened by all that killing due to the new weapons?
