The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1183

(Unedited)

…

After a day of resting, Xin Ja is not able to move out of his room and return to his workshop. Fighting against higher-level soldiers is truly different from those ordinary ones. Those that are below level 10 can be considered weak and they could not do that much damage if he is wearing his armor. But those that are higher than level 10, are something else.

When he got hit by the spear, he almost thought that his body was shattered at that time. Luckily for Xin Ja, he has the pills to help him recover.

"Hmm… I guess Senior Lin is already fine now…" he muttered as he began walking to the infirmary.

As he walks inside, he did not see anyone but only one of the medical masters.

"Ah… Excuse me, is… is Senior Lin already out?" he asked.

"Huh? Oh, you mean Junior Officer Yao? Yes, I think she is at the workshop now…" the medical master said.

"Ah... Thank you…" Xin Ja said and turn around.

But before he could walk away, the medical master actually chases after him.

"Wait a minute… Young lad… You… you're that young man who cured her right?" the medical master asked.

"Uhuh… Why?"

"Oh… This is great… I… I just want to ask. How did you do it? I mean, I wanted to learn that skill in the 708 infantry base in Tiig Town, but I heard that the commander has put a tight lid on the skill… They seem to be preventing others from learning it." he said with a sad tone.

When Xin Ja heard this, he frown. He presented that skill to Medical Master Lee, and he knew that Medical Master Lee and his fellow medical masters would not do such a thing. So it seems that they are also being controlled by that commander.

Xin Ja was a bit angry at this because he knew that the source of his troubles was that commander. However, he did not want to be entangled with such a person, so he did not want to return to his own unit.

Suddenly a flash of an idea came to his mind and then he looks at the medical master.

"How many are you here from the 701st IB?" he asked with a slight grin.

The medical master suddenly showed a confused expression on his face… but then after a few seconds, his expression changed.

He excitedly called his team of medical masters and it did not take long before a group of them went inside the infirmary along with Xin Ja.

…

It was already in the afternoon when two Mechas slowly enter the workshop.

From behind it, the cockpit opens and a beautiful slender young woman alighted with an excited look on her face.

At the same time, from a door Captain Yu enters the workshop. His clothes are a bit dirty and it could be seen that he has been in a fight.

"Haha… Captain Yu… what do you think?" the excited voice of Yao Mai Lin said as she approached Captain Yu.

She is still wearing the standard uniform of Mecha pilots that Xin Ja has designed. The uniform is composed of army pants with a body-tight gray T-shirt under a fitted jacket.

When Captain Yu saw the curvy figure of Yao Mai Lin, he could not help but blush a bit and turn his gaze to the side.

At the same time, he pretends to be patting his clothes.

"Those things are awesome… They can actually rival my strength as a 10th level Ki fighter…" he said with a wry smile.

How could he not feel exhausted and afraid at the same time? Luckily Yao Mai Lin did not use the so-called compressed air weapon. He had seen what it could do, and how devastating it is when Ra Gaofang was hit by it before.

So he dare not say that he could survive if he is hit by such a weapon. 

"The control is also smooth as long as you became familiar with the Mecha…" Yao Mai Lin said with a smile.

She is like a child that just found a new toy.

"Oh… Oh… I heard that little Ja is going to put something on the foot of the Mecha, I think he calls it wheels… It should make the Mecha become faster and more agile."

"Hmm… If the Mecha became more agile than they are now, then they would be unbeatable in the battlefield…" Captain Yu muttered.

"Yes, that's right… Let's see if those bastards from the kingdom of Glysko dare invade us again!"

The two began to discuss when another Mecha enters the workshop hangar.

The tall figure of Yi Terai jumps down from the cockpit at the back and smiles when she saw Yao Mai Lin.

"How is the test, Junior Officer Yao?" she greeted.

"Geez… You can just call me Senior Lin, just like little Ja." Yao Mai Lin said with a smile.

"Anyway… I'm a bit excited. These things… they are… they are awesome."

"Yes, I know, right? I mean, I could not believe that Young Master Xin could make such things… they are really amazing…" Yi Terai commented while looking at the Mechas at the garage.

"I heard some of the pilots prefer to sleep inside this thing?" Yao Mai Lin suddenly asked.

"Hahaha… Yes, they think that they would be safer if they are inside these things… plus the radar could easily pick movement in the jungle. So it's easy for them to defend…"

"Isn't it uncomfortable?"

"Haha… It's better than getting killed, right?"

Suddenly, the door slowly opens and the small figure of Xin Ja enters the workshop. His handsome face was reflected by the light and Yi Terai could not help but gaze at him fondly.

When Xin Ja saw the three talking, his eyes went bright.

"Senior Lin! You're okay now…"

"Haha… Thanks to you… I owe you my life little Ja."

"Nah, It's my fault anyway. That guy has been targeting me from the beginning… you're just unlucky I guess…"

The group continues talking and laughing at the workshop.

…

That night, the group went to Yi Terai's home and they have a sumptuous dinner. After that, the four of them began to discuss the plans for the Mecha.

In fact, the kingdom has already heard of the Mecha and they became interested in it because they saw potential in such a massive weapon.

The other thing that the kingdom is interested in, is the compressed air weapon. It's like bringing a rapid-firing crossbow to the battlefield. Those who are faced with such a weapon could not even put up a shield as the bolts could go through even metal shields.

"Little Ja, why don't you come back with us… We will go directly to the Stronghold and then you can talk to your commanding officer. With such a contribution in the war, he would not dare court-martial you, right?" Yao Mai Lin suggested.

Captain Yu was silent and seems to be in deep thought.

"I think he should go back to the 708 IB base in Tiig town… That way, the commander has no reason to court-martial him because he still returns to his own unit… But, Little Ja, as someone who belongs to the military you should know that you still have to face the consequence…"

"What consequence? Saving one's self from getting killed? Does that need consequence?" Yi Terai suddenly said in exasperation.

"They are trying to hunt him down like a dog and wanted to kill him. If he did not escape, then what would have happened to him?" she added with a hint of anger in her tone.

"Well, this is a tricky situation. Unless someone intervenes, then you could still be in danger even after you return. If you go to the Stronghold, then there is still no guarantee that you will be safe…" Captain Yu said with a frown.

"Remember one of the military rules? Deserters are punished harshly, even death…" Captain Yu added.

"But I did not leave the military. Even though they chase after me, I still serve the kingdom. Even when they want me dead, I still save the people…" suddenly Xin Ja said with a hint of emotion in his tone.

Even though he is running away and being hunted down, Xin Ja did not turn his back on the kingdom. This is because of his father. He wanted his father to have a good life in the kingdom. He did not want him to be disgraced.

His father's teachings would always linger in his mind. His father's heroic deeds, how he created a good and favorable life for him even though he acted like a fool for those many years. His father did not give up on him, so he dare not sully his father's name.

Even if everyone in the world hated him, even if everyone in this kingdom mocks him, he would not turn his back on his father.

After all, his father is the most important person in his life.
