Chapter 58: The reunion is enough to shake the entire star
The climate change in Huoyao is drastic, and there are not many indigenous people living here. It was only in the past hundred years that the development of red iron ore brought many job opportunities, and then it was slowly built up.
It has been some time since the terrorist attack on a civilian spacecraft bound for Mars, but the heavy pain will not disappear.
Inside the auditorium.
A scaled-down model of a spaceship was placed in the center, surrounded by mourning flowers and colorful cranes.
There was an Alpha wearing a suit, with his hair neatly combed, and holding two electronic candles in his hands.
The man placed the pair of electronic candles on the table with his hands, lowered his head and said nothing.
At this time, his wife and daughter should have reunited with him on Mars.
He was an extremely ordinary man who just wanted to live a simple life with a wife and children and a warm bed. He never thought that he would encounter something like this.
A grain of sand of the times, falling on ordinary people, becomes a mountain that they cannot bear the weight of.
The man rubbed his eyes, turned on his computer, and projected an image of his wife holding their daughter.
His wife is a gentle and independent person who always supports his decisions. This time, the couple hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she brought their daughter here.
His daughter is a little Oemga who can barely speak yet. She has black grape-like eyes like her mother. She loves eating sweet candies and smiles every time she eats them.
The man in the suit had red eyes and took out the various candies he had bought from the compartment of his coat and placed them next to the electronic candles.
"How could this happen..."
From the empty memorial hall came the sound of suppressed sobbing, like the gurgling water forced out of the throat, continuous and endless.
The next second, a military-clad Alpha with a much higher pheromone level than him walked in, looked at the man in a suit with tears streaming down his face, paused, and took off his hat.
The suited Alpha took one look at the shining badge on the other's military uniform and guessed that the man must have a high rank, so he didn't dare to talk to him casually.
Does he also have a lover or relatives on that spaceship?
Colonel Huo had a solemn expression. He bent down, picked up a thousand paper cranes that someone had piled up on the ground, and pinched their soft colorful wings.
"Go back."
Xu Tianyang stood next to the military vehicle and watched the colonel slowly walk out of the auditorium and drive the people back to the base.
The silence along the way made Xu Tianyang feel a little breathless, but he didn't dare to say anything.
It was just an ordinary morning.
A thin ray of light penetrates the clouds, and residents who have just woken up are calling on the smart housekeeper to turn on the house-wide purification system.
"Level 1 alert!"
"Level 1 alert!"
A shrill alarm suddenly rang out, and the energy shield of the optical network was activated.
Thousands of light bullets fell from a height of ten thousand meters, brushed past the energy shield, and exploded into streaks of white light.
The huge roar drowned out the noise of the red iron mining and hit the stricken land heavily.
Base Command.
Huo Yubai replaced Colonel Claude on this trip and was naturally the temporary commander of Huo Yaoxing.
Colonel Alpha was wearing a tightly wrapped black commander's uniform, with golden tassels swaying slightly with the movement of his arms.
The huge computer in front of Colonel Huo was displaying the real-time battle situation.
The rows of dark grey enemy combat mechas were like a group of crows circling in the sky, making people feel unhappy.
Our dark green mechas were lined up in a row, looking solemn and majestic, ready to fight.
The military power of Mars is far stronger than that of the desert planet, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists.
It would not be easy for Michael to break through here quickly.
The dark green mechas in the front row flew up and formed a solid defense line near the optical network.
Although Colonel Huo did not spot the pure white mecha that moved like a ghost, he had a vague feeling that it must be there.
"Athena, activate the first-level protection of the military system."
At the same time, Athena's 3D image appeared at the command center and nodded to the commander of this battle.
"We must protect the Fire Star."
"yes."
Colonel Huo looked calm and attentively observed the situation of both the enemy and us. He adjusted the strategic deployment in a timely manner and sent a distress signal to a nearby planet.
There are still many Alphas here who, like Colonel Claude, are still in a serious state of pheromone disorder and are unable to drive their mechas into the battlefield.
This is destined to be a battle with a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us.
A pleasant voice was heard on the public channel, with a familiar teasing tone, as if reminiscing with an old friend.
"Long time no see, Colonel Huo."
Alpha frowned slightly. The voice belonged to Min Ran, the economic fraudster who had been on the run for a long time.
The owner behind the pure white mecha turned out to be a frail-looking Omega.
Omegas also have pheromones, but due to their weak constitution, they have difficulty enduring the heavy military training, and almost none of them can control combat mechas.
In short, I'm afraid no one can connect Mr. Min, who behaves like a nobleman, with interstellar pirates.
But sometimes, the truth is just so absurd.
"What? Is Colonel Huo so surprised that he can't speak?"
Inside the pure white mecha, Michael sat in the driver's seat and laughed twice into the virtual microphone connected to the public channel.
Aaron stood behind Oemga. He didn't seem to understand the situation very well. He just didn't like Michael smiling at Alphas other than himself, so he frowned.
"No matter who you are, you are just my enemy."
A low, cold voice came from the public channel, without any emotion at all.
Michael raised the corner of his lips, looked at the transparent mecha beside him, and asked back: "Really?"
Ji He in the transparent mecha looked at the raging war in front of him with a look of worry on his face.
"I hope the Colonel will keep his word."
Colonel Huo had a feeling that the other party had something else in mind, but he didn't want to dwell on the details at this juncture.
The dark grey mecha was newly equipped with an electromagnetic cannon on its back that was designed to target the Federation optical network. It fired high-speed magnetic bullets that created a crack in the energy shield.
Countless dark grey mechas like crows drilled into the gap and destroyed the energy shield.
The dark green mechas in the front row clenched their hands, and their thrusters ignited several golden flames, rushing towards the enemy mechas.
A wave of dark grey mechas continued to descend from the sky, firing countless laser beams, mercilessly bombarding the dark green mechas.
The dark green mecha was unable to resist and was defeated step by step, and was forcibly broken into by the enemy's human wave tactics.
"Hold on."
As soon as Michael finished speaking, the pure white mecha's hands turned into huge energy axes, swinging vigorously, hitting countless dark green mechas that were blocking his progress.
The rear of the dark grey mecha.
Ji He was like a puppet, sitting in a transparent mecha, which was energy-locked by Michael, and all manipulations could not obey his command.
As a member of the Federation Army, he could only be locked up here without any dignity and displayed to others. Ji He looked at the fallen dark green mecha.
Inside those copper-skinned and iron-framed structures are living people, his comrades-in-arms.
Our mechas tried their best to encircle the enemy mechas. Among these dark green mechas that were hard to tell who was who, one of them was Xu Tianyang.
He was no longer the Alpha who had difficulty connecting to the mecha, but facing the actual combat in front of him, he still felt unprecedented excitement and fear.
Xu Tianyang clenched his fists.
At the same time, the mecha he was in also clenched its fists, with light wave energy surging on it, and hit the enemy mecha's abdomen hard.
He thought about everything his instructor had given him and felt that he was now a qualified soldier.
When Xu Tianyang hid behind the mecha, no one would care whether he spoke fluently or not. At this moment, he represented the federal military, guarding the Mars Planet and the Milky Way.
"Charge!"
Ice planet.
In the midst of the wind and snow, a steel armor was rising into the air from the ice rocks, and the roar of its engine sounded like the roar of some prehistoric monster.
"Oh my god!"
The Alpha recruit in the control center saw the giant mecha for the first time and didn't even have time to take off the intercom. He let out a series of exclamations.
This huge steel mecha was operated by two people. Cheng Zhi and Li Ran looked at each other in the driving seat and drove towards the Fire Star at full speed.
"After practicing so many times, I finally waited for this day."
Li Ran's eyes were bright and his words revealed full confidence.
He and Cheng Zhi worked in perfect harmony, alternating between action and stillness.
Although Colonel Claude was ill, he was eager to go on the battlefield and kill the enemy. He ignored his wife's advice and took off the bite device and detection bracelet.
"Colonel!"
The energy shield of the optical network completely disappeared.
The dark grey mechas fired plasma shells simultaneously, sending sparks all over the sky.
A sharp silver light cut through the smoke-filled sky, and behind the silver-white mecha followed a billowing white smoke like a long dragon.
"The commanders are all on the field." Michael said with a sneer.
Five minutes ago, Huo Yubai stopped the anxious Colonel Claude, brought him to the command room, and returned the jurisdiction to him.
It is a rule that commanders do not go to the battlefield.
Huo Yubai sat back in the driver's seat of the Silver Blade Mech.
This battle was much more difficult than he had imagined.
Rather than watching his comrades fall, he would rather lead the way. Even if he died for his country, he would have no regrets.
This is the mission of the federal soldiers and also their best destination.
"Colonel Huo, we are here."
Cheng Zhi and Li Ran hurried over in their steel mechas and spoke in unison on the public channel.
The silver blade mecha stood suspended in the air, holding a giant light blue lightsaber in each hand, destroying many enemy mechas along the way.
The pure white mecha activated its jet engine, nimbly dodged the attack of the silver blade mecha, opened the missile device on its chest, and released a huge energy bomb.
The silver blade mecha slid down on its knees to dodge, brushing past the energy bullet, and then stood up.
Amid the war that was powerful enough to shake the entire universe, Huo Yubai saw a person, a person who haunted his dreams.
In the transparent mecha, Ji He's eyes widened. He found that the energy lock suddenly disappeared, and his mental power was immediately connected to the mecha's control system.
Colonel Huo, who was usually calm and composed, had red eyes, tears like mist welled up in his pupils, and his fingers holding the joystick were shaking.
"Ji He..."
Alpha's extremely restrained voice echoed inside the Silver Blade Mech.
The heart that was covered with ashes suddenly sparked the moment it saw the lover, and then it was like a raging war that spread for miles.
Huo Yubai fantasized about the scene of reuniting with Ji He countless times, both in dreams and in reality, but he never thought it would be on the battlefield.
