156. Minefield
"Are you serious? The Osiris is also in Nineveh? β
Vega and Singh had returned to the "Leon", and Vega was changing his clothes while listening to Singh's report, which had just finished inquiring about the news.
"It's true, I bribed three port workers, and the statement is the same."
"It's a fate, Osiris, I can meet you here."
Vega casually handed the long skirt she had taken off to Singh, and Singh asked, "They have also inquired about the time and route of their departure, are they going to prepare for an ambush?" β
"Don't worry, since they still have to stay for a day, we will wait, maybe there will be an unexpected gain."
β¦
In the captain's room on the Osiris, Lee Youde paced back and forth in an apron, while his table was full of ingredients for making hamburgers, making him look less like a captain and a chef.
"Wow."
Someone knocked on the door, Li Youde opened the door in three steps and two steps, it was the head chef, and he carefully handed a bag to Youde.
"Captain, this is a meatloaf that I secretly baked."
"Oooh! Thank you so much. β
Because the chef Fiona has a mysterious resistance to the hamburger, Li Youde is like a thief in order to secretly eat the hamburger. He sent the head chef away, and couldn't wait to combine the meatloaf with the ingredients to make burgers one by one, and with these stocks, it would be convenient to quietly heat them up and eat them himself in the future.
Li Youde took a bite of the burger he made and muttered to himself, "The taste... Sure enough, if you don't cook, you can't even make a hamburger? It's so aggrieved, I'm also the captain's say. β
"Didi!!"
The phone rang suddenly, and Youde, whose mouth was full of food, almost choked.
"Hey, I'm Li Youde, what's wrong?"
"I'm Jessica, Captain, there seems to be a ship in Nineveh that has been shipwrecked, and Nineveh has asked us to help rescue it."
"Huh? This kind of thing to us? We're not a humanitarian organization, so Nineveh can send a ship of its own, right? β
"They said that the ship had accidentally drifted into a minefield ... It seems to have been left over from the clash of forces in the early years, and no one dared to go to Nineveh. β
Before the outbreak of the First Geosphere War, there were also small-scale conflicts of power in the geosphere, and there were also very bad incidents. In order to break free from the control of their parent powers, some colonial satellite city-states have even come up with ways to isolate themselves from minefields, or vice versa.
"What the hell... Nineveh doesn't even have a defender now? We are nothing but an army of Mycenae! β
Li Youde was dissatisfied, which was clearly throwing the tricky things to himself. But he is not easy to refuse, after all, diplomacy between independent colonial satellite city-states is very important, and the teacher has just recovered Mycenae, and there are not many forces around him who have expressed support.
He sighed, feeling that he still couldn't refuse, so he asked, "It's a minefield, isn't it?" In the early years, the machine mines were all made for attacking warships, and they were large in size, so it was better to let humanoid weapons save them, so who should be sent to them? β
Lieutenant Anton's voice appeared, and he was right next to Jessica: "Captain, let Lin Ao go, it belongs to him and Edward's body with the highest power." However, Edward's body has not yet completed repairs, and only Lin Ao can be dispatched. β
"Is it okay for him to be alone?"
"Bart and Miahaus will go together, let the three of them take a transport plane to the scene of the incident, and then let Lin Ao go into the minefield alone."
"Well... You have to do a good job of Lin Ao's ideological work, it is dangerous to enter a minefield. By the way, I've heard that you've done rescue work in Shang before, right? Are you all used to it? β
Anton smiled and said, "But do good deeds, don't ask about the future." β
β¦
"Mine, minefield?! You let me go into a minefield? β
Lin Ao gasped.
Anton patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, they are all early machine mines, and they are as big as half a humanoid weapon to deal with battleships, and they are easy to dodge." The ship that had an accident is not large, and it will not affect your escape. β
"It's too messy... Why don't you let me get rid of those mines. Natasha on the side said.
"No, the shipwrecked ship is still inside, and it will be in trouble if the wave arrives."
"It's really hard to pick the door, Nineveh, if you don't deal with the machine mine earlier, you will have to kill us if you trap your own people." Edward said.
"Well... Maybe they want to save money on weapons, and they want to keep the mines for self-protection. β
Edward stretched, slapped Lin Ao's back hard and said, "It's a pity, Lin Ao, my body is still under maintenance and can't go, but I will cheer for you, hahahahaha." β
"Hah, you big-headed ghost! Call... I'll go, but captain, I'm going to take a leave of absence for the next two days of training, no, it's a three-day off! β
Anton scratched his head, thinking that this was nothing, and finally instructed: "Anyway, be careful, Bart and Miao Haus will accompany you." β
"Sergeant Bart is going too?" Natasha asked, a little nervously.
"He and Miao Haus are out to let off steam, and there won't be too many people entering the minefield at one time."
Natasha breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Ao was even more nervous, thinking: "Listen to this, could it be that you have an accident and then send someone else?" Feel like a guinea pig..."
β¦
Long story short, Lin Ao and his party set off. Bart and Miaohaus also knew the risks of this operation, and they made two jokes when they set off, and now they are silent. Perhaps feeling depressing, Bart began to comfort Lin Ao:
"Don't be afraid of Lin Ao, those mines are not small in size, and they won't hit by mistake."
"yes, yes."
"Hahaha
"When we get there, let's stop here. Lin Ao, you must be careful when you go in, and contact us in time if there is an emergency. β
"Whew...... Got it. β
Lin Ao controlled the No. 2 plane to jump from the transport plane into the minefield, and indeed as Bart said, these sea urchin-like mines have the size of a half-humanoid weapon. It can be troublesome if the ship encounters it, but it can be easily dodged with a humanoid weapon.
"Why can't Nineveh send their bodies? Are you all so afraid of death? β
Lin Ao grumbled as he approached the shipwreck's signal source, and he tried to call out to them, but received no reply.
"Intelligence says the shipwrecked ship's communicator is fine... It's weird. β
Finally, when he saw the shipwrecked ship and there were no mines nearby, he sped over and put his hand on the ship's hull.
"Can you hear it with contact communication? I'm here for you! Feed! β
Still no response.
Just when Lin Ao was suspicious, an earthy yellow eagle appeared behind him...
β¦
Inside the bridge of the USS LeΓ³n in the HER port area of the capital of Nineveh.
"Captain Vega, receive a secret communication from Sergeant Singh. The rat has been hooked, and it is the No. 2 machine of the Ten Swords! β
The corners of Vega's mouth raised a smile, the so-called shipwrecked ship was just a bureau set up by her. The world is sinister, there are always people full of malice, and there is no unity among the independent colonial satellite city-states, and Vega takes advantage of this. There are many people in Nineveh who just want to make money, and among these people, there are people who want to make their own family dominant. Mycenae, which is also a colonial satellite city-state that attaches great importance to commerce, although the industrial pillar structure is different, the super battleship Osiris that they built in cooperation with the Star Alliance makes some military enterprises in Nineveh feel jealous. In order to eliminate potential rivals, some powerful people in Nineveh secretly joined forces with Vega to fight Mycenae.
It is true that the shipwrecked ship was fake, but that was a few months ago, and the shipwrecked had already been rescued, leaving only an empty ship in the minefield, which was a script made up by Nineveh.
As for Vega, she had previously learned about the Osiris's rescue of the Warsaw last time from Anthony, who was piloting the Ten Swords No. 7, and guessed that they would send the highly powerful Ten Swords to the rescue. If they guessed correctly, then Nineveh would have laughed at half of the wreckage of the Ten Swords for them to replicate the technology exclusive to the Moore Chamber of Commerce, and Vega would have consumed some of the Osiris's forces, and it would have been easier to fight against it later. If you don't guess correctly, the hostage grabbing is not in vain. So as long as the Osiris agrees to rescue, the horizontal and vertical Vega will be earned.
"Singh, it's all up to you."
β¦
In the minefield, Lin Ao has already fought with the sudden appearance of the earthy yellow eagle Yang style, and this is the body of Singh.
"What a good baby, Osiris's guy, it's so easy to bite the hook!"
Singh forced him with a white blade, and Lin Ao gradually fell behind because of his hasty response to the battle and the fact that he was trapped in a minefield and did not dare to mess around.
βHERοΌ Crazy? It's a minefield! β
"Why are you scared?!"
"Sergeant Bart, there's HER here!"
Bart and Miaohaus, who were outside, heard Lin Ao's cries for help and rushed into the minefield to prepare to support Lin Ao. But Singh was not the only HER hiding here, his subordinates reported the situation to him, and Singh immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it in the direction of Bart and Miaohaus.
Lin Ao felt bad.
"What are you going to do!?"
Singh pulled the trigger, and the bullet struck a mine, causing a chain explosion that swept away like raging flames.
