Chapter 112

At the moment when the two mechas rushed out of the base, the thrusters were like a very fast line of fire, whizzing into the scorched forest.

Colonel Lu immediately followed the two mechas as soon as they opened the critical breakthrough point. The radar system showed the signals of the two mechas. When he saw the single-soldier mecha following closely behind Theo,

His pupils shrank slightly.

The brief control of the thunder and magnetic cannon became an important node for opening the way. Almost at the moment when the thunder and magnetic cannon was fired, a gun and a soldier quickly passed through the gap created. The gap created by this kind of cooperation was extremely short, leaving only enough space for two people to pass through. The two border army mechas following closely behind them were unable to keep up with the gap and were soon blocked by the oncoming pollutants.

"Lieutenant Colonel! We didn't catch up."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu was blocked by the pollution that surged in again. He watched the thrusters of the two mechas disappear into the dense forest ahead. He said in a low voice, "It's normal that he can't keep up. After all, no one could keep up with him in the special training camp back then."

Looking at Theo's signal on the radar, Lieutenant Colonel Lu recalled the scene when he met him in the special training camp many years ago, and was particularly impressed by the mecha equipped with dual-gun weapons. Among all the soldiers in the special training camp, everyone was thinking about how to make their mechas have both short-range and long-range combat capabilities. Only the mecha named Theo and his pilot were the outliers in the special training camp.

The youngest and the loner, his usual weapons are the long-range dual cannons of the energy cannon and sniper cannon. Such a mecha division stood out among the tall and strong border troops. Many people thought that he was the first mecha division to be dismissed from the special training camp, until he set the highest record with the long-range dual-cannon weapon and became the youngest mecha division since the establishment of the special forces.

When the special training camp was mentioned, several border soldiers were stunned.

Could the person that even Lieutenant Colonel Lu couldn't catch up with be the record-breaking mecha division back then?

The special training camp is the largest-scale training event among the special forces of the border army, and it tests the special individual combat capabilities. Several mecha masters remembered that their class, led by Lieutenant Colonel Lu, was said to be a class full of geniuses. So far, the highest record in the special training camp was set by the class ten years ago, and no one has surpassed it so far.

However, there is no record of who that mecha commander was in the special forces.

Some said that the mecha division had retired, some said that the mecha division was promoted to the First Star Domain Army, there were all kinds of statements, but no one had heard of him in the border army.

A mecha master asked in confusion: "But why is he in the Mecha Alliance?"

Lieutenant Colonel Lu did not answer him.

You Su is a very solitary person. He has had mecha divisions assigned to him in the special forces before, but each of them requested to be transferred, using the excuse that they were difficult to coordinate with. Lieutenant Colonel Lu once thought that he would be so successful that he would leave the Dawn Border Army, but no, not long after the clearing mission ended eight years ago, this man retired.

Thinking of this, his eyes were fixed on the information on the radar map. In addition to Theo, there is another mecha behind. The radar coordinates of that mecha are closely attached to Theo's back. The distance between the two mechas is always kept in the most appropriate support range. It is obvious that they are cooperating with each other.

He was very clear about the former's strength, but what surprised him was the person behind him. "I didn't expect to see someone who could keep up with his speed."

Moreover, it was just an A-class individual mecha. Before entering the restricted area, Colonel Lu loaded the information of the two teams, KID and Gale. The KID mecha base mainly produces group combat mechas in the Dawn Mecha Alliance. While the Gale base carries medical mechas, KID did not bring a medical mecha but instead brought a individual mecha, a single mecha equipped with close-range and long-range dual-cannon weapons.

Colonel Lu felt that the coordination of the two dual-gun mechas was a bit unbelievable.

"Everyone else, stay back and protect the base station." Lieutenant Colonel Lu increased the thrusters and followed, "I'll go save them."

The two moving mechas quickly caught up with the tentacle in front, and saw that tentacle was struggling to pull the mechas back. The tied mecha pilot did not give up struggling, and used reverse thrusters and lightsabers to slow down as much as possible on the ground. However, the dragging force of the tentacle was too strong, and his counterattack only slowed down a little.

You Su frowned when he saw this. He looked at the mecha's self-rescue behavior and said, "Direct artillery attacks are useless against it."

"If we want to save people, we have to slow it down completely." Ying Chenlin followed behind You Su and also saw traces of contaminants on the mecha.

These tentacles are very strange. It is completely impossible to predict them based on the movement of pollutants. Moreover, they basically react to energy. Using energy to attract pollutants is basically useless on them. Ying Chenlin thought of the scene in the beginning when the tentacle dragged the mother mantis. It was obvious that it was more interested in the pollutants than the mecha. "There are no usable pollutants around."

The red dots that appear on the pollutant radar are few and far between, and most of them are these strange energy pollutants.

At this critical moment, there is obviously not enough time to catch pollutants to replace this mecha. He glanced around and said, "We have to buy some time."

"You are familiar with this forest. How much sniper gun power is needed to knock down the surrounding trees?" Ying Chenlin asked.

When Ying Chenlin asked, Theo immediately gave the data: "Yousui! More than 70% can be bombarded in one go."

"70%." You Su said, and immediately adjusted his weapon to a sniper cannon: "Are you sure?"

"I modified this single-soldier machine using the base of a control mecha." Ying Chenlin popped up a scope in his sight, and the scope quickly locked onto all the pollutants around You Suo. "You can set up your guns. I won't let any pollutants get close to you."

Ying Chenlin sent an assist command in the public channel while switching the sight. The trees here are tall, which can block the tentacles' retreat route in advance and buy some time.

You Su raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "Then you should hide yourself."

When You Su set up the sniper gun, the shells in Ying Chenlin's sight were ready to fire. The basic attack capability of the control mecha was not strong, but its excellence lay in that the continuous firing speed of the control type shells was enhanced, and the charging speed was much faster than that of the gun mecha, which was very handy for controlling the melee weapon thunder magnetic cannon.

In other words - there is enough time.

The Yousu sniper cannon was fully charged and attacked with a bang.

At the same time, the thunder and magnetic cannon from behind fired from all around him a second before him, blocking the pollutant attack from Yousu's left side.

The pollutants attacked from all directions. The moment the pollutants on the left were repelled, the pollutants on the right had already suddenly attacked You Su's right side. Years of single-player combat experience caused You Su's sniper gun to shift two degrees to the right out of inertia. Just as he was about to deal with the pollutants on the right, a three-shot rapid-attack cannon bombarded the pollutants before him, instantly clearing all pollutant threats from the sides.

You Su paused, and quickly changed lanes before the sniper cannon hit. He increased the power by two degrees, and hit the back of the pollutant, brushing past the pollutant's body on the right. After doing all this, he looked back and found that Ying Chenlin had raised two weapons at the same time without him noticing.

Setting up two guns at the same time...?

There were a lot of pollutants in the charred tree forest. Lieutenant Colonel Lu quickly followed the path opened by the two mechas, but before he got close, he saw the charred trees on both sides falling toward the middle. The plants in the restricted area are of the same origin as the swamp forest. Even though these plants have remained dry in recent years, they are still nearly 100 meters tall.

The trees on both sides of the tentacles fell toward the middle in an orderly manner. When they fell from great heights, they brought with them a huge impact force. Lieutenant Colonel Lu had to avoid the threat of the giant trees falling down. When he looked up, he saw the two speeding culprits.

During the high-speed flight, the mecha Theo in the front row set up a sniper cannon. He almost gave up all defenses, and each shot was charged with more than 70% of the energy. This way of giving up defense was extremely risky, especially since the surrounding area was densely covered with pollutants beyond the radar's field of view. Without a pollutant early warning system, all the mecha division's operations could only rely on the naked eye to judge attacks from all directions. But even in such a situation, the mecha Theo dared to give up all defenses and set up cannons to attack.

But he soon changed his mind because he saw that none of the pollutants succeeded in getting close to Theo. Behind Theo, there was a mecha protecting him. The magnetic cannon and the rapid-attack cannon were almost firing continuously in the intervals of rapid switching. The single-soldier mecha held two weapons at the same time and was extremely comfortable in switching the aiming between his left and right hands.

Setting up two guns at the same time...? Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked at the operation of the mecha in amazement. There is no restriction on the left or right hand when switching weapons in the mecha. Generally, people use weapons by using one type of weapon and then switching to another, especially artillery weapons, because this kind of switching can inherit the original aiming settings to the maximum extent, allowing the mecha pilot to use weapons freely after switching weapons. This work is by

The best operation mode is to quickly switch the mecha weapon magazine with one hand, but this will add 1 second of switching time to the original operation. In the field of mecha technicians, there are indeed cases where two weapons are used at the same time, but most of them are melee and artillery weapons. Melee weapons do not require accuracy adjustment, and the discomfort caused by switching can be quickly adjusted with the mecha technician's operating level.

It is very rare to be able to use two artillery weapons at the same time, which means that the mecha operator must adapt to the operation of two types of weapons with different precisions at the same time, and quickly use the second artillery weapon after using it, saving the one second of time for switching weapons.

This requires extremely high combat experience from the mecha pilot. He must be very familiar with the details such as the performance, speed, and accuracy differences of the weapons, and be able to seamlessly switch his thinking in a very short time.

Any mecha pilot who is good at using two weapons can do it, but as far as Colonel Lu can remember, there are only a handful of mecha pilots who can really save time and achieve seamless attack.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu watched as the giant trees collapsed after Theo's accumulated strength, falling one after another on the path that the tentacles had to take, completely blocking its retreat. This individual mecha is not the S-class mecha with the fastest computing speed, but it can use two weapons seamlessly to eliminate all obstacles for Theo.

In addition to this, what surprised him was You Su's reaction.

This approach of completely giving up defense and leaving safety to another person, You Su, who rarely cooperates with others, was able to overcome his habitual reaction and reach such cooperation with others.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu suppressed his astonishment and switched to artillery weapons to assist the two mechas in knocking down the surrounding trees. At this moment, he suddenly saw several mechas following from behind. Turning his head, he saw two of the mechas flying towards him dragging a huge pollutant.

That's KID and Gale's mecha master.

"Chen Lin! Here they come!" Ji Qingfeng and Zhao Lejie each carried a half-dead pollutant, with Lin Yao leading the way in front of them. They rushed straight towards Ying Chenlin and You Su.

After receiving Ying Chenlin's call for help on the public channel, a larger non-energy pollutant appeared around Zhao Lejie and Ji Qingfeng. When the tentacles were about to grab the pollutant, Ji Qingfeng risked scrapping the binding sickle and directly pulled the pollutant over and ran away.

Zhao Lejie turned his head and saw that the original tentacle was actually rushing towards them. When the tentacle was about to hit Ji Qingfeng, he immediately rushed up with the protective shield and swung the tentacle away with a bang. Then, with this force, the two mechas were flung away with the contaminants, and they were quickly separated by a distance.

Ji Qingfeng: "Awesome, Lao Zhao, you can do this."

Zhao Lejie was stunned for a moment after being ejected. Seeing that it seemed to be working, he coughed and said, "It's so-so."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked at the two tentacles in front and behind and suddenly felt overwhelmed. He had to switch directions immediately to provide assistance to the three mechas behind. He had no choice but to switch to the public channel and yell, "Go around from the side!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingfeng and Zhao Lejie glanced at the source of the sound. Seeing that the other party was helping, they quickly rushed in the direction he had cleared.

With this quick rush, I saw that the trees in the distance were almost all gone, all behind the tentacles. Although the fallen trees could not withstand the damage caused by the tentacles, the trees living in the polluted area were strong enough and there were enough of them to block it to some extent.

speed.

Ji Qingfeng was surprised and said, "The place has been cleared."

Zhao Lejie looked at the wide field of vision around him and said, "...You guys are too ruthless with your guns and cannons. You won't even leave this one?"

Seeing Ji Qingfeng and Zhao Lejie coming, Ying Chenlin and You Su's attack targets immediately became the tentacles and the surrounding pollutants. Seeing Zhao Lejie and Ji Qingfeng entering the attack range, Ying Chenlin immediately said: "Bring the pollutants to its vicinity."

You Su locked onto the pollutant following behind Ji Qingfeng, and also saw the border army mecha that was following closely. His gaze stayed on the Border Army mecha for half a second, and all his attacks fell on the tentacles. Amid the continuous artillery fire, Ji Qingfeng and Zhao Lejie, with the support of their teammates, saw the tentacle that was dragging the mecha, and they immediately flew above the tentacle with the contaminants.

The pollutants that were snatched away were large enough, and the pollution value displayed on the radar was also high.

The tentacle seemed to have made a judgment in a short period of time. It immediately let go of the dragging mecha and attacked the pollutants in the high altitude. At this critical moment, Lin Yao rushed in and grabbed the damaged mecha. The four mechas retreated violently and immediately distanced themselves from each other.

At this time, the tentacle that followed the pollutant also rushed towards the pollutant, and the two tentacles entangled with each other.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding mecha masters stopped, as if they did not expect that the tentacle monsters would also fight among themselves. However, the struggle only lasted about three seconds before one of the tentacles let go and wandered over to grab another one from the surrounding pollutants.

The mecha pilots were worried about being affected and quickly retreated a few steps to leave the range.

At this time, someone in the public channel said: "Withdraw the base station and give priority to protecting the base station."

Ying Chenlin slightly side-glanced and looked at the border army mecha.

When he saw the mecha leading the way to the base station, the weird feeling in his heart became even stronger, especially after he and You Su had seen the strange thing under the base station not long ago. That thing is right under the base station. The mecha pilot can't deal with it by himself, and can only rely on the mecha. If he wants to deal with it, he must not keep the base station.

Why do the border troops want to protect that base station? It is obvious that the existence of that base station is what restricts everyone's battle.

Ying Chenlin glanced at You Su slightly. During the battle just now, he noticed the changes in You Su's mecha's perspective many times. You Su seemed to know the border army's mecha division.

After returning to the vicinity of the base station, the border troops did not explain the reason, but simply shared the protection of the base station as the first mission objective with all mecha divisions. The injured mecha entered the base station. Ying Chenlin left the mecha and prepared to check the damage to the mecha. He found that the binding of the tentacles had destroyed the outer panel of the mecha to a great extent. He tilted his head slightly and found that Lieutenant Colonel Lu of the Border Army was looking at him.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu noticed Ying Chenlin's gaze and asked, "How is he?"

"I can't play for the time being." Ying Chenlin said truthfully: "It needs to be repaired."

He was about to take action when a mecha master hurried over.

Ying Chenlin remembered that it was Gale's medical mecha technician.

"Let me do it." The medical mecha master looked at Ying Chenlin and said, "We are short of manpower now, and we need you more outside."

Seeing Ying Chenlin discussing with the medical mecha, Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked at the mecha master who came down from the individual mecha. In a moment, he had a brief analysis of Chen Lin.

Mecha technician, who has maintenance knowledge and can drive individual mechas.

His attention stayed on his mechanical right arm for half a second. Mechanical arm...how did he control the dual cannons?

Ying Chenlin paid no attention to the gazes from the side. After he finished explaining things to the medical mecha technician, he glanced at the mechas outside. The medical mecha can indeed quickly repair the wear and tear of the mecha, but this repair is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. It can only be said that it can restore about 10% of the wear and tear of the mecha on the battlefield so that it can fight. Each repair is done by overdrawing the mecha equipment. Each mecha can only be repaired 1 to 5 times at most. The more serious the wear and tear of the mecha, the more limited the number of times it can be repaired.

Under this circumstance, even if he can repair the mecha, he still has the assistance of the medical mecha.

But without Qiu Jin's follow-up support at that time, they could only hold out for half a day at most.

When Ying Chenlin hesitated, he turned his head and noticed that the lieutenant colonel of the border army in black combat uniform was looking at You Su.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu confirmed the situation of the mecha, turned around and noticed You Su. He locked his eyes with You Su, took a few steps forward and extended his hand, "Long time no see, I didn't expect you to come to this place."

You Su's eyes were indifferent, and he didn't touch his hand. "It's been a long time indeed."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu's face was rejected, but his expression did not change. He withdrew his hand and replied: "The situation is special now. I hope you and I can work together to protect this base station."

"I heard this many times eight years ago." You Su said bluntly, "Eight years later, the border troops are still like this."

At this moment, two people hurried over from the distance.

It was Qi Sicheng and Huo Yan, and there was also Lu Xi next to them.

When Lu Xi saw Ying Chenlin, he nodded. The incident happened suddenly, and Ying Chenlin and You Su went to rescue people. Lu Xi informed Huo Yan and Qi Sicheng who arrived later of all the situations in the underground of the research institute.

Seeing that Lieutenant Colonel Lu was about to leave, Qi Sicheng stopped him directly: "Lieutenant Colonel Lu."

"Before going out to fight, we doubt the necessity of protecting the base station." Qi Sicheng took out the optical computer and displayed a large amount of energy reactions in the underground research institute. "Many infrastructures in the base station are running to maintain this research institute, and this research institute is a weapons research institute. Our mecha division found something in the research institute."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu frowned when he saw this, "How much do you know?"

Huo Yan noticed the change in Lieutenant Colonel Lu's attitude. He took a few steps forward and said, "It's not a question of how much we know, but our mecha division was attacked by something underground. We suspect that this research institute is conducting something that violates the Star Alliance's research laws."

When he heard about the attack, Lieutenant Colonel Lu's face changed slightly. He asked suspiciously, "You said you were attacked?"

Ying Chenlin paused slightly when he saw this, then looked at You Su beside him. You Su's expression did not show any reaction, but he could notice that You Su's mood was much worse than before, and he didn't even show the most basic courtesy.

"Yes, we were attacked." Qi Sicheng glanced at Ying Chenlin and didn't give more details. "There is something underneath. We don't understand why we should protect this base station."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked solemn. He used the communicator he carried with him to contact the mecha division outside. After a few simple words, he turned to look at Qi Sicheng and said, "I need to ask my superiors for instructions on this matter, but now-"

Before he could finish his words, Colonel Lu's communicator lit up and he immediately turned around to answer it.

But after listening to it, his expression changed slightly, "The support from the border troops cannot come for the time being. According to the order from the superiors, no matter what is down there, our priority is to protect this base station."

Qi Sicheng and Huo Yan looked at each other upon seeing this, seemingly hesitating whether to execute the order.

"The border troops can't enter the restricted area, right?"

At this time, a voice nearby joined the discussion.

When Lieutenant Colonel Lu heard the voice, he looked straight towards its source. He saw the slightly skinny mecha master, and his eyes lingered on the other's mechanical right arm for a moment. "No comment."

"The restricted area is located in a special geographical location, and the entrance is difficult to find and requires instructions."

Ying Chenlin said: "I guess the border army's support was blocked outside the restricted area, and the number of pollutants is so huge that we need to re-issue instructions to emphasize defense."

"There are a lot of energy-related pollutants gathered inside this restricted area, and the base station itself is also an energy point." Ying Chenlin looked at Lieutenant Colonel Lu and showed him the display on the energy meter. "As far as I know, the energy reaction here has soared by 20% compared to when I first came in, which is obviously beyond the control range of the base station. This large amount of energy reaction will only attract more pollutants, both inside and outside the restricted area."

This restricted area is now a big light bulb located in the Kolya restricted area, and countless pollutants will run towards this big light bulb.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu's face changed slightly when he heard Ying Chenlin's analysis, but he quickly adjusted himself: "Since you know that these are energy reactions, have you considered the consequences of these energies if the base station is lost?"

He ordered solemnly: "As I said, the superior's current order is to stay outside the base station and protect the base station."

After Colonel Lu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go out to fight.

You Su, who was standing nearby and watching, paused for a moment. His eyes were dark and cold as he looked at Lieutenant Colonel Lu. He did not move. At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the side. =

“There is something wrong with this decision.”

You Su's expression changed slightly and he looked straight at the person who spoke.

Ying Chenlin stood behind Lieutenant Colonel Lu, his young face full of seriousness. He retorted fearlessly: "Base stations are not a priority. I request that the priority be given to clearing the pollutants."

The author has something to say:

There will be more updates, I will continue to work on it, don't wait.
