Although he was not satisfied with Colonel Lance's behavior of requisitioning without greeting, when Chen Yan sat on the aircraft and looked at the sky outside, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Colonel Lance was in the cockpit, and the rest of the people were sitting in the cabin of the aircraft. They were to go to the base closest to their destination, where the mechs were ready to standby. Arrive at the base to repair and then head to the destination.

Mei Na sat next to her, looking at her with nice eyes looking out the window, and couldn't help but tease: "Look at you, it looks like the dungeon has abused you." ”

Chen Yan couldn't help but want to nod. Human beings are born to yearn for light, and the dungeon is in the dark underground, is the artificial sun considered light? For her, it is absolutely abusive. Artificial sunlight couldn't stir up dopamine production in her brain.

This is quite strange, with current technology, artificial sunlight has the same wavelength as sunlight, and it is also electromagnetic radiation, so why can't it play the same role?

Thinking of this, Chen Yan's eyes lit up, maybe this is the next topic that can be applied for. But I'm afraid it won't pass. After all, compared to other topics related to weapons, brains, mechas, and communications, the role of artificial daylight is redundant.

In a short period of time, her expression was very exciting. Mei Na was inexplicably at Chen Yan's wonderful face, and she didn't know what she was thinking. However, looking at Chen Yan's longing eyes, she still proposed, "Do you want to open the window to feel it?"

Chen Yan shook his head, "In that case, you need to reduce the flight altitude, Colonel Lance won't agree." "Lowering the flight altitude means that there is a danger of encountering a giant beast. Aircraft are generally below the atmosphere, but they are not below the altitude of the Behemoth.

"It's okay, I have a way", Mina squeezed her right eye at her, "On the way to this base, you will pass through a desert. There, the behemoth has nowhere to hide. ”

Chen Yan's eyes lit up. The desert can be seen clearly within a radius of dozens of miles, and it is a relatively safe place to know at a glance whether there are giant beasts or not. "But," she said hesitantly, "there is still a chance of surprise." ”

"Wait and see, he'll agree," said Mena firmly.

Soon, the aircraft was in the desert. Before the arrival of the giant beasts, the pollution and deforestation created by humans on the earth were increasing year by year. By the time the giant beasts had just taken over the earth, the desert area had reached 70 percent of the land area, and humanity was forced to retreat to live in the only remaining green belt.

Therefore, even without the arrival of the giant beast, humans may not be able to live on earth forever. Maybe it's only a matter of time before you go underground.

Even though the desert means drought and death, it is still spectacular and magnificent. The endless yellow came into view, and the aircraft could not feel the heat outside, but felt that the sand was very delicate and soft.

Mei Na turned on the call channel and reported to the cockpit: "Boss, Warrant Officer Chen Yan wants to see the desert and asks if he can open the window." ”

After a while, Colonel Reims' clear voice came: "Request to pass." ”

Chen Yan couldn't believe his ears, was this still the same Colonel Lance who asked her to test instead of Mina if he didn't agree with him?

The aircraft quickly lowered its altitude and flew almost close to the ground. Then the windows in the cabin were lowered, and a wave of heat poured in. Only then did Chen Yan realize that the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabin was almost 30 degrees.

Adolf was swept up in the hot air and shouted dissatisfiedly, "Why is it so hot!"

Mei Na kicked him, "Chen Yan wants to see it, bear with it!"

The desert air was very dry, and Chen Yan couldn't help but stretch his hand out of the window, feeling the hot air pass through his fingers, as if he had inserted his fingers into the hot cotton ball.

The aircraft flew at an extremely low altitude for a while and began to climb. She withdrew her hand regretfully, thinking that this short desert journey was coming to an end.

Unexpectedly, after the aircraft was raised a little, a transport flap at the tail of the cabin slowly opened. Chen Yan didn't know why, but Mei Na pushed her excitedly: "There is a sand dune ahead, and you can touch it with your own hands." ”

Chen Yan couldn't believe it, and said uncertainly: "But I can't, oh, I mean I can't do physical strength, I can't do such difficult movements." ”

Adolf, who was sitting opposite, waved his hand: "That's not a problem. Just do it, and we'll catch you. ”

Mina urged, "Hurry up, it'll be there soon." ”

So Chen Yan struggled to get to the side of the flap, and Meina and Adolf grabbed one of her feet, so that she poked her body out of the aircraft.

Colonel Lance was a skilled pilot, climbing the dune and flattening it as it reached the top, so that the spikes at the top of the dunes were within reach.

The outstretched five fingers left five shallow ravines on the yellow sand, and the rough and soft feeling made Chen Yan squint happily. Just as the craft was about to leave the top of the dune, she reached out and grabbed it, returning to the cabin with a handful of yellow sand.

Chen Yan stared at the right hand he was holding, still recalling the touch just now.

"You're ...... Brought back, a pile of sand?" Mina looked at her in disbelief, and the others looked at her curiously.

Chen Yan nodded, found a bottle that he carried with him, it was a necessary item during the battle, "This is commemorative sand", carefully sealed the bottle, and put it in his backpack.

didn't expect that there would be such benefits on a mission, and Chen Yan decided to reduce his dissatisfaction with Colonel Lance a little.

Soon arrived at the base.

This is the supply base of Ashur, except for the officers and soldiers who have been stationed for a long time, they are the people who came because of the mission.

The commander stationed here came out to meet them, and accepted himself, "I am the officer stationed here, Lieutenant Connor, and welcome you. ”

Lance and his party greeted Lieutenant Connor before heading into the base.

Dinner here was good, with baked potatoes and fried steaks. This is available on a regular basis at the Asher base. After dinner, they greeted Lieutenant Connor and went on their own to prepare for tomorrow's mission.

Colonel Lance didn't know where he went, so Chen Yan had to pull Mei Na and ask her about tomorrow's mission.

"The goal of our mission this time is to get the proton reactor, and it's in this location," Mina said, pointing to a spot on the electronic map, more than thirty kilometers from the base.

"After investigation, there are two giant beasts near there, which are level two and three respectively. So this time it was decided to dispatch two mechs. Just yesterday, the base had diverted them out of the safe zone by other means. However, for safety reasons, mechs are still required to accompany them. ”

Chen Yan nodded. This is necessary, as behemoths are roaming around, and although they have been lured away, they may still wander back. And they must hurry, there are other behemoths that may appear within a safe distance.

"So, what is my mission tomorrow?" she calculated, Mina and Adolf had a mech, Colonel Lance had a mech, and the other two operated the aircraft, so what about her?

Mina said mysteriously, "This...... I don't know. The boss asked him to bring you, there should be his intentions. ”

Chen Yan: ......

After seeing that the time was still early, after sorting out the backpack, Chen Yan thought about it and had nothing to do, so he went to the mecha room.

Walking through the long passage, Chen Yan stepped into the huge mecha room force at the end with light. The top of the mecha room is directly connected to the outside, which is convenient for the transportation of the mecha.

Chen Yan entered this huge space through the passage, like a little mouse under a towering tree. She had to tilt her head as far as she could to see the mech's head.

The silver mecha is Colonel Lance's, so the red mecha next to it should be operated by Mina and Adolf. The mechs I saw before were all in battle, either fighting with giant beasts or fighting against other mechas. This was the first time Chen Yan had seen a stationary mecha.

They are quiet and immovable, exuding an air of loyalty, as if they feel at ease just by looking at them. Chen Yan found a staircase and sat down, holding his chin and looking at them.

It was so quiet at the moment that there was no noise in the base or the trivial sounds of mechanical maintenance. There was a big fight in her eyelids, and she even thought that she might as well sleep here.

Suddenly, a voice came from beside him: "What are you doing here?"

Chen Yan was clever and immediately stood up. When did Colonel Lance come, she didn't hear any footsteps!

"I ...... There's nothing to do, just come here and see what you can do." As soon as the words were spoken, she regretted it. What can I do here? She could only see.

Fortunately, Colonel Lance did not bother to laugh at this statement. But Chen Yan still felt that the other party didn't seem to be very happy.

Colonel Lance didn't speak, so she didn't say anything, and stood quietly behind them, acting as a backdrop.

After being silent for a while, Chen Yan was embarrassed and wanted to go back, but Colonel Lance suddenly said, "You have a lot to do." ”

She quickly pricked up her ears, but the other party didn't follow up.

So until he returned to the temporary dormitory, Chen Yan was still wondering what Colonel Lance meant by this sentence in the mecha room.

Since there were only two women, Chen Yan and Mei Na, among the people on this mission, they were naturally assigned to a room. The rest of the special forces had to go to the sleeping pod to rest.

Although the sleeping pod is also very comfortable, the space inside is limited, and it can only accommodate an adult to lie in it, and it is difficult to even sit up. Therefore, Chen Yan still prefers this way, the old ordinary bed.

After a simple cleaning, Mina went to rest. In carrying out tasks, we must be mentally minded and must not be sloppy. Chen Yan also knew this, forced himself to stop thinking about the deep meaning of that sentence, and gradually fell asleep.
