The light inside the mecha that had lost its energy was dim.
The person who was paralyzed on the cockpit was already in a trance. She felt a phantom pain from being bitten by insects. She rubbed her arms vigorously, trying to drive away the dense and disgusting feeling.
The driver looked up and sobbed into the empty space.
"Ark, I'm so scared."
Gentle singing sounded from inside the mecha, as if someone was really humming the last lullaby to her.
A gap opened in the cockpit, and a silver-gray device poked out, injecting a sufficient amount of medicine into the driver's neck.
The driver no longer felt pain. Her head slowly rested on the edge of the cockpit, as if she was asleep.
...
A dazzling flash of light lit up the inaccessible rock-red landscape, and the mecha started its final self-destruction program, triggering an invisible powerful shock wave.
The huge mecha and the countless giant insects entrenched on it were instantly wiped out.
A few seconds later, the companions heard a deafening explosion in this alien continent.
At the same time, on the distant planet, the machines suddenly paused and the same line of words was displayed on the light screen. All audio equipment was ordered by the highest order to broadcast a message, and the city that instantly became silent echoed with the calm voice of AI Ark:
[Mecha Canglong, officially retired, pilot Jiangxi, citizen number HUO73985383]
The people sheltered on the safe planet raised their heads and mourned the loss of another life on a distant alien planet.
Intention: The universe is vast and endless.
