Chapter 386 (Catching Bugs)
"Retreat." Ning Sang did not hesitate too much.
The battlefield is huge and the area they need to search is very wide. If they rashly enter the battle area, what should they do with the wounded soldiers they just rescued?
The mission of the recruits is not to fight. Ning Sang and the entire Guardian team will not do anything to be a hero and cause trouble for others.
"I don't know how long this battle will last." Jiang Yi looked at the battlefield ahead, his brows slightly furrowed, full of worry.
In the A9 star field, it was not just Tak that suffered the impact of the alien beast tide.
In other words, Tucker is actually a relatively safe planet in the entire A9 star field border, otherwise the recruits would not land and station here.
Other planets caught in the chaos of war were basically completely surrounded by the tide of alien beasts. The supporting soldiers could not get in, and the soldiers inside could not get out. They could only force a breakthrough point, otherwise they would be trapped inside by the alien beasts and wait to die.
"Don't worry." Ning Sang sighed and said, "The Federation will not sit idly by and do nothing about this situation. We can only take care of ourselves for the time being. Other expeditionary forces and border troops will be dispatched to other border planets to provide support."
During the conversation, they also helped Yunmian unload the medical cabin from the transport vehicle and transfer it to the medical area in the base for treatment.
Yun Mian silently found paper and pen and distributed them to the seriously injured patients in the medical area one by one, then turned and walked out.
They have more people who need rescue, as well as assistance for veterans who have temporarily retired from the battlefield to replenish energy and repair damage to their mechas.
Logistics during wartime is the busiest and most complicated task.
When Yunmian was conscientiously replenishing the energy of a veteran's mecha, the system light ball flew over and rubbed her cheek, whispering: "Mianmian, I found where your mother is now."
Yun Mian paused slightly and turned her head to look at it.
"At the forefront, the Eternal Star is about to be completely occupied by the alien beasts."
After the system finished speaking, it comforted her, "But don't worry too much. The troops stationed on Eternal Star have found a breakthrough and are evacuating in an orderly manner. Your mother should also soon lead the troops back to Tak Star for temporary repairs."
"Also, the SS-level monster is not over there. No one knows where it has wandered off to. Anyway, you have to be careful." The system analyzed the information it had collected. Although it was trying to comfort Yun Mian, it glanced back at the protagonist team and felt a little nervous.
In the original world line, according to the consciousness arrangement of this star field, Yun Yijin, the most powerful warrior in the border army of the A9 star field, and several other SS-level mecha divisions all died in this war. Although the SS-level alien beast was seriously injured, it did not die completely. Instead, after hiding for decades, it broke through the border line one day, madly absorbing energy and upgraded to become an SSS-level alien beast. Then, it broke through countless border lines with the high-level alien beasts that had also successfully upgraded in the past few decades, and finally destroyed all life in the entire star field, and countless planets became dead stars.
This star field fell from the upper world to the lowest level world overnight. Even the consciousness of the star field fell into a near-death state. It was unknown how many reincarnations it would take for it to slowly recover.
The protagonist team that the star consciousness deliberately cultivated to save itself, also died on the border battlefield just like Yun Yijin because they did not have enough opportunities to grow. Humanity and billions of lives in the starry sea all met with destruction.
In these plots, Yun Mian's only role as a minor villain is probably to serve as a foil to the protagonist and the protagonist's team. She relies on her mother's recommendation letter to go to the best school, but she never achieves much. While the school is full of geniuses, she doubts herself more and more day by day, and eventually becomes just like everyone else.
After her mother's death, Yun Mian went to the border to collect her body, but she also died in a tide of strange beasts. It was an ordinary death that did not cause any ripples.
Now it is almost time for Yun Yijin to die in the original world line. If... if Yun Yijin dies again this time, then Mianmian's death will definitely not be avoided, not to mention that the protagonist team is here.
They arrived at the border battlefield of the A9 star field two years earlier than in the original world line. The system had no idea what kind of changes their arrival would bring, let alone whether it would be good or bad.
During the brief conversation, Yun Mian had already replenished enough energy for the veteran. Looking at the mottled body, she turned sideways and let the auxiliary mecha repair it.
It is not the kind of repair that uses energy liquid, but the auxiliary mecha can effectively increase the speed of body repair. Although it is not as good as a professional mecha repairman, the most insufficient thing on the battlefield is the mecha repairman.
The veteran can also take a short break while the mecha is being repaired, even if it's just to catch his breath and drink a bottle of banana-flavored nutrient solution.
"Can't we kill all these strange beasts?" Tang Paopao squatted beside the veteran and Yun Mian with his mecha shield on, protecting them from possible attacks and chatting with them at the same time.
"These strange beasts keep coming, how can we possibly kill them all?" The old soldier shook his head, his eyes full of fatigue.
"You can take a nap by leaning against my mecha." Tang Paopao took a small step forward: "We will wake you up when the mecha is repaired."
The old soldier's eyes were full of red bloodshot. If he didn't rest, something might happen to him on the battlefield.
After persuading him to sleep, Tang Paopao said to his teammates in the team voice chat: "I don't know how long they haven't rested. It seems that they were fighting before we came yesterday. Driving a mecha requires constant consumption of mental energy... No matter how strong they are, they are not made of iron."
The artillery fire from not far away occasionally fell here, but it was firmly blocked by the shield held up by Tang Paopao, so as not to wake up the old soldiers who were resting inside.
"If we can rotate with them, we should be able to rotate out a group of people." Yun Mian's gaze was also cast towards the battlefield outside the cordon.
"Mianmian, when we go back later, we should bring more nutrient solution and mental soothing potion." While repairing the mecha, Ning Sang communicated with Yunmian about the missing supplies in the team's belongings.
"Yeah." Yun Mian simply responded, retracted his gaze, and looked at Jiang Yi, who was searching for the surviving monsters and finishing off the dead with Huo Chuyi on the battlefield.
Basically, when they find a strange beast that is still breathing, Yun Mian can quickly give the beast's fatal point after reporting the location, and then assist them in killing it.
About two hours passed.
The tide of strange beasts finally seemed to be retreating.
The Guardian team stopped their work and looked at the herd of strange beasts retreating like a tide along with everyone else.
"They can finally retreat and rest." Tang Paopao took a deep breath.
Next, they will be even busier as wartime logistics personnel.
Auxiliary medical technicians treat the wounded, inspect, repair and replenish energy for the large number of mechas that have retreated from the battlefield, go to the front battlefield to pick up more wounded and make more knives, and collect usable corpses of alien beasts, and transport them back to major stars in large quantities from the base for sale or processing.
A group of new recruits were so busy that they were like spinning tops that couldn't stop.
It was not until nightfall that they finally retreated from the battlefield that had been simply cleared, leaning against their mechas or the cold walls of the base to barely catch their breath.
Before they could even catch their breath, they had to prepare for the landing of the mecha divisions that had been withdrawn from the front lines outside the planet, and accept another batch of seriously injured soldiers, and another batch of mechas that needed energy replenishment and repair...
Only when the starry sky above was faintly showing the dawn light could the new recruits from the logistics department finally return to their dormitories to rest.
It was not until this time that Yunmian received the message from her mother that she was safe.
"Mianmian, your mother doesn't seem to know you are here."
Before the battle on the front line, Yun Yijin applied for support from the expeditionary force and the border army, but after she was involved in the front-line war, she was not sure which expeditionary force team came to support the stationed troops on Tak Star.
She didn't even know that the planet had been disconnected from the mainframe star network.
Maybe she'll know when she wakes up.
Yunmian looked at her mother's simple words "I'm safe" on the computer screen for a long time before replying that she had received it.
She didn't tell her mother that she was at the base, not far from her.
What the mother and daughter need most at this time is not to meet, but to rest.
But Yunmian felt at peace in her dream this time.
When they were awakened again by the alarm that resounded throughout the base, Yun Mian and his teammates quickly put on their combat uniforms and ran towards the assembly point received by the computer.
"This is a small wave of alien beasts." The familiar superior said to them loudly and quickly in the front: "The comrades who have withdrawn from the front line need more time to make more effective repairs. The level of the alien beasts this time is not high, so the higher-ups decided to let us go to the battlefield for actual combat experience to buy more time for the comrades in the rear to repair..."
"We can finally go to the battlefield." The new recruits who had been doing logistics work for the whole day couldn't help but be eager to try. There was anticipation, passion, longing, and sparkling light in their eyes.
The only thing he lacks is fear and numbness towards the battlefield and life and death.
"Come on, come back alive." The comrades patted each other on the shoulders as a blessing, and then smiled at each other.
"Those who can drive S-class mechas please step forward." The voice of the commander in front was transmitted to the entire team.
The five members of the Guardian Squad lined up neatly, along with more than twenty other recruits.
"Do you have your own mecha?" the officer asked them.
Some nodded, some shook their heads.
The S-class mechas that were not available in the army began to be distributed according to demand. The officer looked at the energetic appearance of the young people and a flash of relief flashed across his eyes, but he quickly frowned and asked everyone very seriously not to be distracted and lose their lives on the battlefield.
The superiors of other S-class mecha divisions all had corresponding tactical arrangements, but when it came to the Guardian Squadron, he had only one request.
"You are a mature team that can attack and defend each other, so I only ask you to kill as many alien beasts as possible on the battlefield. The system will record the combat information for every mecha division that goes to the battlefield. The Federation will not treat any soldier unfairly."
The meaning of his words was obvious enough, and the entire Guardian team nodded obediently.
Looking at the five brand new young men, the officer felt both relieved and a little melancholy, and there was some worry in his eyes as he watched them go to the battlefield.
But worrying is never a reason to prevent children from growing and experiencing setbacks.
Yunmian drove a transport truck all day yesterday and stayed in his own cockpit today, feeling much more energetic.
When she saw the group of strange beasts in the distance, Ning Sang's voice sounded in the team voice at the same time.
"Paopao, protect Xiaoyi, Mianmian will lead the way, I will assist, and Chuyi will prepare for the final harvest."
"Next, we must try our best to open up a gap for our comrades in the rear."
Good night~
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution:
10 bottles of Yinghuo;
I will continue to work hard!
