Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

Raleigh: "..."

To be honest, he didn't really believe it.

At the same time, he also thought of another problem.

Which mech are you planning to pilot?

The driving test of the Dangerous Wanderer is about to begin. The other three mechs already have pilots who have been training with them for many years. He can't think of any other mech that Xia Shu can drive.

"That one." Hearing this question, Xia Shu smiled and pointed to the gate directly in front of the mech hangar.

With a series of mechanical sounds, the massive gate opened.

A silver-white mech, resembling a martial monk, stood on the transport tracks and was slowly sent into the cockpit.

"Shaolin swordsman?"

"It was actually repaired too." Raleigh recognized the mech, his eyes showing some surprise.

"But are you sure you can really pilot a mecha?"

He knew the importance of mechs; having an extra mech for future missions would significantly increase their success rate.

Should we really let Xia drive it?

"After the dangerous wanderer's test is over, it will be the Shaolin wanderer's test."

"You'll see for yourself when the time comes," Xia Shu said confidently.

It's just piloting a mech, what's so difficult about that?

"I'll wait and see." Raleigh thought that Natsuki's body was even more robust than the mecha, so there shouldn't be any problems.

The question now is, who exactly is their driver?

Although he had worked well with Mako Mori before, it was Marshal Stark who ultimately decided on the pilot.

......

The seabed of the Pacific Ocean, inside the gap.

“It went fairly smoothly.” Quirk said to Yochi beside him as he stepped out of a twisted purple building.

The council of the pioneers contained not only brutes but also wise men with forward-thinking ideas.

He made two preparations for the upcoming battle.

"If nothing unexpected happens, human mechs will come to this colony space carrying nuclear weapons. We need to prepare for this in advance."

"Furthermore, even in the worst-case scenario where this space is lost, we must have the possibility of developing follow-up plans."

Hearing that Quake had made so many preparations...

Even Yogi couldn't help but ask, "Is it really necessary to be this cautious?"

"Even if they do manage to attack, I can immediately throw myself into the battle."

"Leaving aside those junk machines, that Ultraman is obviously a grunt. If you ask me, he wouldn't last five rounds against me."

As a pioneer, he is ready to personally control the monsters in battle.

“Then I’ll have to look forward to your performance,” Quirk said with a smile.

This guy has this kind of confidence, which is a good thing for him.

Chapter 31 The Plasma Cannon Begins Charging

It was exactly 3 p.m.

Raleigh changed into a black pilot suit, which looked like black armor, and stood in the cockpit of the Gadgetzan's head.

With practiced skill, he lowered the connection device containing the spinal cord clip and waited for his partner.

Soon, he heard the sound of boots in control suits stepping on the ground, and he knew that his partner had arrived.

“I’ve injured my left arm before, so I’ll choose the right side first,” he said without turning around, standing next to the connecting device on the right side of the cockpit.

"I know."

A familiar voice rang out.

Raleigh raised an eyebrow and looked to his side.

His partner, Mako Mori, happened to be standing next to the connecting device on the left, wearing the same combat uniform as him.

"Looks like he was right after all." Raleigh said with a smile, recalling the bet he made with Natsuki before entering the cockpit.

"Mr. Natsuki?"

"He had foreseen that we would become partners."

Hearing what Rory said, Mako Mori nodded thoughtfully.

......

Shattered Dome Base Command Center.

Amidst a array of monitors and holographic smart terminals, Marshal Stark's gaze flickered as he looked at the dangerous wanderer inside the hangar.

After seeing that Rory and Mako Mori were ready on the monitor, he nodded to Cai Tiantong.

Cai Tiantong understood his meaning and said into the microphone of the instrument in front of him, "Both pilots are in position. Now connect the cockpit to the mecha."

Most people in the entire base were watching this test.

Soon, the head-shaped cockpit of the dangerous gambler was transported down from above and assembled with the body.

"Both drivers are in good health."

"The Dangerous Wanderer's power unit is activated. Now preparing to initiate the sensory connection... 3... 2... 1!"

The moment the synaptic connection was activated, both Raleigh and Mako Mori in the cockpit perked up.

"Don't dwell on the past, focus," Raleigh reminded him.

Mako Mori nodded silently.

Immediately afterwards, the images in front of them both flickered.

Their consciousnesses were connected, and their past life experiences flashed before their eyes, from infancy to childhood... from childhood to adulthood... Fortunately, at this stage they did not truly experience the other person's life, but only skimmed through it.

Concentrate... Mako... Concentrate...

It was Mako Mori's first time communicating with someone through synesthesia. Even though she knew what was going to happen, she couldn't help but feel nervous. At that moment, she heard Raleigh's voice, which calmed her down.

Soon, they moved beyond their memories and returned to reality.

"Connection successful, left half of the simulated brain of the dangerous wanderer has been successfully calibrated."

"The right hemisphere of the dangerous homeless person's brain has been successfully calibrated."

A mechanical female voice issued a prompt from the system inside the mecha.

"Dangerous Wanderer, activate."

In front of everyone in the command center, the dangerous wanderer slowly raised his arm, making a gesture to test his arm flexibility.

"They succeeded." Cai Tiantong turned his head and said to Marshal Steker with joy upon seeing this.

Raleigh was his old friend, and he was very happy to see his old friend restart the Jaeger.

"Yes," Marshal Steker nodded.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

The two pilots have passed the most error-prone stage. Next, they just need to follow the procedure and move the mechs around a bit. Being able to get to this point means that they are fully qualified to pilot the mechs.

Inside the hangar, the Dangerous Ranger followed the instructions step by step.

Everything seemed to be going very well.

"It's a strange feeling, isn't it?" Raleigh said to Mako Mori with ease in the cockpit.

'It's...amazing, yes.'

Without saying a word, Mako Mori had already given Raleigh her answer in her mind.

They were in perfect harmony at that moment, and their thoughts were in complete agreement with each other's. They could communicate without even speaking.

This feeling is truly amazing when you actually experience it.

"My old buddy, it's even more powerful than before after the repairs." Raleigh controlled the dangerous Gadgetzan, feeling the gears turning inside the machine and the engine roaring in the power reactor, feeling his blood boiling.

Years later, when he returned to the cockpit, the feeling still captivated him.

He felt that the huge mecha was his own body, and he could control the mecha to do any action he could imagine.

'You're welcome.'

Just as Luo Li was about to say thank you to Mori Mako for repairing the mecha, Mori Mako had already answered him in his mind before he could even say it.

What a good girl...

How good is it?

"Uh, this sentence can be ignored."

'Can it be ignored?'

"Okay, no."

“Honestly, you did a much better job than I expected,” Raleigh said with a smile. “Now... you’re my best partner.”

"That's what I really think," Raleigh said sincerely.

He had thought he would never be able to connect with others again, but the truth was, there really was someone in this world who was just right for him.

Perhaps this is fate.

'It really is fate.' A scene from the past flashed through Mako Mori's mind.

"Wait, so we've met before?" Raleigh sensed it too.

They didn't meet for the first time yesterday.

They had met unilaterally many years ago.
