Chapter 4 Searching for SDS

Fang Mobei's squad was groping its way to the southwest, and what he didn't know was that the strategic focus of the two commands had changed. Although the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, Fang Mobei and the others are like a flat boat driving in the turbulent river, and if they are not careful, they will sink into the sea, and may not cause any ripples, but they can still only go to the G14 area to repair according to the order and then go to the G16 area after the bombing.

When Fang Mobei and the others arrived at the place where the distress signal was issued, the battle was already over, and the stumps and severed arms of the mechanical soldiers could be seen everywhere, and the ground was faintly covered with charred pits and ice cubes, and the remains of the two mecha were paralyzed on the frozen soil. Fang Mobei and the others stepped forward to take a look, the cockpit of the mecha had been penetrated, and the pilot inside was obviously gone, leaving only some blood stains shallow under the frost.

Akata and Oleg stood on both sides on guard, Guo Kai and Zhang Xiaosi walked over from the wreckage of another mecha, "That mecha is very badly damaged, judging from the serial number, it should be our third company"

Seeing Fang Mobei, Ozawa reminded with a solemn expression, "Let's hurry up, there are still 20 minutes before the bombing." She couldn't help Fang Mobei make a better judgment and analysis, but she knew that she shouldn't stay here for too long.

At the same moment, Lilia's voice sounded in Fang Mobei's headset, "Fang, report the location of your team, and arrive at the G14 area within 20 minutes to converge." Fang Mobei sent the location to Lilia and conveyed the situation here to Lilia, Lilia didn't explain the situation too much, just asked Fang Mobei to hurry up to the G14 area. Fang Mobei suddenly felt that things were not as simple as they had just begun, and he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis like a big hand dragging them into the abyss step by step.

At this time, he knew that he and the others could no longer delay, not to mention what kind of punishment would be brought if they did not arrive at the designated area on time, staying too much in such a dangerous area would undoubtedly put themselves and the others into a greater crisis. He beckoned his team to gallop quickly towards the G14 area.

Along the way, Mobei and the others did not encounter any obstacles, and after a short period of relaxation, they saw a different scenery on Haitel, the huge glacial permafrost stood tall as if it had been cut off by a knife, and the cracks in the lower places were bottomless, as if there were giant beasts hidden in the abyss, which was daunting. However, everyone knows that such a beautiful scenery is indeed not suitable for human existence, if you take off the mecha or combat suit, within a second, the whole person will be frozen into a popsicle, and you can no longer die.

G14 is adjacent to G16 and G17, and the entire battalion of mechs arrived at G14 by 15:30. As the ground trembled, and a rumbling sound resounded through the sky like muffled thunder, all the mechs lowered their bodies, their hands in front of them, ready to defend themselves against the incoming waves of air in the distance. The mecha soldiers in the front were pushed to the rear by the air wave, leaving deep marks on the frozen ground, but fortunately, the mecha in the back resisted the mecha in front to ensure that the mecha in the front was not pushed down by the air wave. However, some of the supplies and ammunition in the open space were blown away by the air waves, falling on the high ice rocks and exploding.

After the air wave passed, each team gradually cleared the scattered materials and ammunition under the leadership of the captain.

"Unlucky" Zhang Xiaosi was a more miserable one, three howitzer shells fell beside him, and the impact of the explosion pushed Zhang Xiaosi to the ground, looking very embarrassed, and he couldn't help but be ridiculed by the team members next to him after getting up.

Oleg laughed and said, "Zhang, a man's legs can't be soft," which caused a burst of laughter from others.

"Get ready, let's head to the G16 area," Fang Mobei said to Guo Kai and the others after receiving Lilia's instructions.

The first battalion was accompanied by 100 mechs and 600 mechmen, who were transported by the air crew to assist the 1st Mecha Battalion in finding SDS. The mechanical sappers are all orange and silver, some of them control the transport vehicles, and some of them carry supplies and walk among the mech soldiers. The 600 mechanical soldiers are all white and different from the enemy's mechanical soldiers, and these mechanical soldiers are fully armed and follow each squad, each mecha squad carries 15 mechanical soldiers, and the rest of the mechanical soldiers have been sent to guard around the team as scouts.

Fang Mobei's team walked in the rear, they were replenishing food, each holding a brown liquid bag in their hands and swallowing it through a torn small mouth, this is a military liquid food, viscous liquid food is rich in nutrients that the human body needs for a day.

"Every time I eat this thing, it feels like I'm eating," Guo Kai looked depressed, obviously this liquid food didn't taste good.

Oleg sneered, "Kai, how do you know what it's like to eat?" After speaking, Zhang Xiaosi next to him squirted out with a snort, and a mouthful of liquid food was sprayed on the nano glass, the viscous and brown color will always remind people of some indecent things, and the picture is unbearable and disgusting.

Ozawa and Bella rolled their eyes out of the sky at the same time, and they couldn't eat half of the liquid food left in their hands anymore.

Guo Kai was disgusted by everyone and looked depressed and didn't speak, seeing the mechanical soldier walking beside him angrily and slamming the mechanical soldier with his hand, the mechanical soldier was staggered to the ground by Guo Kai, and looked at Guo Kai suspiciously, silently got up and followed behind Guo Kai. The mechanical soldiers had no mind, and they couldn't figure out why they were being attacked.

Ozawa saw what Guo Kai did and said unfairly.

Guo Kai was just about to have a seizure when he saw Bella looking at him, the fire in his heart was extinguished at once, and he muttered, "I'm a good man and don't fight with women"

Xiao Ze didn't pay attention to Guo Kai's muttering, but looked at Fang Mobei from time to time, and chased after Fang Mobei when he saw Fang Mobei moving forward silently. Bella, who was behind, looked at Ozawa who was catching up, and his mind was complicated.

"What are you thinking?" Ozawa asked with concern.

"Nothing"

Ozawa took a deep look at Fang Mobei, who had rarely spoken since she saw the wreckage of the two mechas, and she guessed that Fang Mobei was likely to attribute the deaths of the two comrades to herself. As she guessed, Fang Mobei thought that if he rushed to support as soon as he received the message, maybe those two comrades-in-arms would not have died.

"Mobei, don't feel guilty," Xiao Ze said, "If it weren't for your caution, we wouldn't be here," after speaking, he nodded affirmatively at Fang Mobei.

Fang Mobei didn't know why, when he heard Xiao Ze say this, he was also a little relieved, and squeezed out a little smile in response. Seeing that Fang Mobei's brows finally relaxed, Xiao Ze was also very happy. She always felt that the man next to her was very tired, and she didn't know why she was tired. Maybe it's this man who is two years younger than himself but is under a lot of pressure that makes him want to take care of him.

She still remembered how Fang Mobei looked when he came to their team, but his immature face had a temperament that was extremely inconsistent with his age. Misa Ozawa, who was supposed to be the captain, saw a hairy boy parachuted into his squad as the captain, so he was naturally not convinced, so he proposed a competition, but to the surprise of all the team members, Ozawa Misa, who was slightly inferior in terms of command, marksmanship and intelligence analysis, was stunned by Fang Mobei in the fighting competition, and the other 5 team members were all stunned one by one in order to find the field for the prospective captain Ozawa Misa, and later knew that Fang Mobei was already a C-level physical practitioner Guo Kai and others couldn't help but be annoyed why they were so impulsive at that time, It was also because of that time that Fang Mobei was officially accepted by them.

In a team competition two years ago, Fang Mobei led the team all the way through the ranking, rushing from the bottom of the ranking to the top three, and finally won the championship, Fang Mobei's name was also well-known to the entire mecha team at that time......

When the first battalion arrived at the G16 area, the sight in front of them made all the mech warriors stop and watch, and the whole area was dead silent, the thick ice was gone, and only the hard rock and soil were charred and exposed on the surface. There are piles of wreckage on the surface, including the stumps and severed arms of mechanical soldiers, the barrels and brackets of artillery, and the remains of the pedestals of anti-aircraft artillery.

While Fang Mobei and the others were amazed, they were also glad that their enemies did not have this weapon of mass destruction, antimatter bombs. Antimatter is a particle of matter that is similar to a particle of matter and has the opposite electrical properties. Each elementary particle has its corresponding antiparticle, and when the elementary particle meets its antiparticle, it will be annihilated at the same time, and the antimatter bomb is the release of this energy, which is a high-energy gamma ray produced after the collision of matter and antimatter.

This "clean" antimatter weapon is far more terrible than a "dirty" nuclear weapon, since the antimatter weapon has been defined as a weapon of conventional destruction by the Earth Federation, because it has no nuclear residue. One gram of antimatter is equivalent to the equivalent of 40,000 tons of TNT explosives, with a radius of 20 kilometers. Although it is a conventional weapon, it is strictly controlled by the five permanent members because of its excessive lethality.

Soon Fang Mobei discovered a cave under a glacier, and at this moment, Lilia's voice also sounded in Fang Mobei's headset, "Fang, our team enters from the hole on the right" It turned out that there were three other caves besides the glacier cave that Fang Mobei saw.

The entire first mecha battalion was divided into three companies, except for the third company where Fang Mobei continued to stay in the G16 area to carry out cleaning and reconnaissance, the other two companies were sent to the G17 area and the edge of the G18 area to continue to search for the SDS refinery and reconnaissance. One company and three brigades, two brigades each entered a mine, and the other brigade stayed on the ground to act as a guard.

At this moment, Fang Mobei's Lilia brigade has all entered the mine, and the lighting facilities in the mine have been artificially destroyed, and the cave is pitch black, and the lights on the mecha can only be turned on to see the road ahead. The road is not smooth, probably due to the previous bombardment, many of the inner walls have collapsed, and some small passages have been blocked by ice.

In a relatively flat open space, Lilia summoned three team leaders, including Fang Mobei, to discuss the possibility of dividing troops to search. Long before entering the hole, Lilia had released eight probe balls to scan a rough map of the mine's structure, but five of the probe balls had lost contact. Lilia suspects that there may be remnants of enemy forces in the mine, but in order to determine whether the refinery in the mine has SDS stored as soon as possible, Lilia decides to enter the refinery in three directions and search in the direction of the refinery.

Fang Mobei knew very well that in such a mine with an extremely complex internal structure, it was a good plan to divide troops to search. The mecha is huge, and the smaller passage can only be two mechs in parallel at most, which undoubtedly affects the advantage of the mecha's firepower coverage, and also exposes the disadvantage that they can't take care of each other.

Fang Mobei took Xiao Ze and the others to a passage, and everyone carefully observed the situation in the cave. At the front are 5 mechanical soldiers, leaving 10 mechanical soldiers at the end.

"Be careful" Guo Kai saw that ice cubes fell on Bella's mecha from time to time above his head, so he reached out to cover Bella.

"What's behind that?" Bella reminded as she looked at a passage behind the right.

"It should be a corridor," Ozawa replied as he looked at the structural diagram of the mine, "The structural diagram is no longer available in this corridor."

"Bella, let's make a map of this structure," Fang Mobei said to Bella, "The whole interior is required."

Bella lowered her body and began to set up the detectors, "If there's anything here we want to find, both dogs will find it," and with that, six of the set up detectors flew out from behind Bella's mech.

"Dogs?" Guo Kai said curiously.

"Yes, dog, my dog" Bella finished speaking and pressed the start button, and then six detectors called 'dogs' released infrared rays and flew along the channel to both sides, Fang Mobei and the others watched the six detectors gradually move away.

"Start mapping" Bella finished speaking, and the mapping process began to appear on her mecha projection screen, and the passages were clearly presented, and the position markers of the seven of them also appeared in the map.

"It's amazing," Guo Kai exclaimed as he looked at the gradually clear mine structure diagram in Bella's mecha.

Fang Mobei and the others continued to explore the depths of the cave.

After walking to a fork, Mobei asked Bella, "Is there a reading?" ”。

"Yes, the dog said to go this way" and pointed to the left front.

Ozawa carefully examined the ground and said, "Look," and everyone looked at the place where Ozawa's searchlight was shining. It was rows of cone-shaped vessels, and some ore reflecting a golden luster was piled up in the vessels.

"It's SDS raw ore," Bella said, and a previously released probe flew from the far side of the passage, and the detector moved to a huge pit next to Fang Mobei and the others, and then fell down towards the depths of the pit.

"God" Oleg came to the edge of the pit, looked at the bottom of the pit, and saw that only the red light of the detector was getting smaller and smaller.

Bella looked at Oleg and said, "Get ready to go down"

Oleg "......"

When everyone landed at the bottom of the pit through the mecha's anti-propulsion engine, the sound of running water under their feet was faintly heard, and Ozawa looked at the temperature data '--18 degrees Celsius' and said to Bella, "Look at the humidity here."

"So why isn't the water frozen?" Guo Kai asked.

"It might not be water, it was some other liquid, but it certainly wasn't liquid nitrogen," Akata replied.

Guo Kai responded lightly, "That's your scientific theory"

'Really?' Biologist'? Akata teased.

Bella, who reacted immediately, measured the humidity in the cave and exclaimed, "The core heats up the groundwater." Fang Mobei, who also reacted, looked forward and said, "Yes, look at the oxygen content."

Bella adjusted the detector and said, "The gas outside is very poisonous, and the inside is ......," and then smiled, "It's no problem inside, you can breathe here," After speaking, he looked at Fang Mobei.

"The temperature and oxygen content here should be artificially modified," Fang Mobei pondered. After speaking, Fang Mobei opened the control cabin of the mecha.

"What are you doing?" Ozawa looked at Fang Mobei eagerly, "Captain, you are less idiot"

"You are less suspicious, there is something here that is transforming the atmosphere" Fang Mobei looked at Bella after speaking, "Bella? ”

"You're right, the air here is cleaner than Earth," Bella said, opening the cockpit as well.

Guo Kai watched Bella open the hatch, and then opened the hatch as well, saying, "They want to transform this place into the earth?" ”

Xiao Ze looked at Fang Mobei and tried to take off the helmet and said eagerly, "Please, don't ......"

"Ozawa, it's okay" Fang Mobei soothed Ozawa with his eyes, and said that he was about to take off his helmet, "Good luck to me"

Zhang Xiaosi looked at Fang Mobei and said anxiously, "Don't take off the helmet...... Before the words were finished, Fang Mobei had already taken off the helmet. Everyone looked nervously at Fang Mobei who took off his helmet.

After Fang Mobei took off his helmet, he felt a chill coming over his face, he felt the flowing air caressing his face, and then took a deep breath. The cold air hits the lungs from the nose and mouth, and for those who have not breathed fresh air for a long time, this breath can be said to be refreshing for a long time.

Everyone was relieved after seeing the captain's breath of mist and a look of enjoyment, and Bella, Guo Kai and others immediately opened the control cabin and took off their helmets.

"Woo oh" Oleg and Guo Kai felt the comfort of breathing and couldn't help laughing excitedly.

Xiao Ze looked at Fang Mobei and said with a smile, "You neurotic" After speaking, he also took off his helmet and immersed himself in a deep breath that had not been seen for a long time.

Bella looked at the excited crowd and reminded "Turn on the oxygen harvesting function", and then everyone turned on the oxygen harvesting function of the mecha to increase the oxygen storage.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed from one side, and the first to see the gun shoot was the mechanical soldier next to him, and there was a loud burst of gunfire, and the bullet swept along the trajectory of the black shadow. The first to react was Fang Mobei, and then everyone else also raised their guns on guard.

Fang Mobei looked sideways at the ground, and the body of a mechanical soldier was torn in two.

"God, what the hell is that?" Oleg looked at the mechanical soldier who was torn in two, and said stupidly.

Akata took the two stumps to the front with his mecha arm, looked at them closely, and said, "It seems to be a claw wound."

"Claw wounds?" Ozawa looked at the two stumps in surprise, "Can Bella locate it?" ”

"No, I can't locate it," Bella said helplessly.

Oleg looked at the two stumps and couldn't help but say, "I'm so glad that we've been in the mecha all along."

"Come on, Xiao Ze, let's go" Fang Mobei said to Xiao Ze, and after speaking, he chased towards the place where the black shadow disappeared.

"Whose idea is this?" Oleg said helplessly.

"Keep up, hurry up," Xiao Ze shouted at the others, and then the group ran in the direction of Fang Mobei.

Guo Kai saw Fang Mobei squatting on the ground in front of him and asked, "Captain, did you find it?" With that, Guo Kai was going to continue walking forward.

"Wait......" Fang Mobei stopped Guo Kai, who was about to walk forward, and made a gesture backwards. Ozawa and the others in the back immediately slowed down, raised their weapons, and cautiously approached Fang Mobei's side.
