CHAPTER XV. The First Combat Mission
At noon the next day, all the fighters of the vault stood in armor and gun-mounted in front of a columnar container in the laboratory.
Short-distance material transmitters, which were developed more than a century ago. This instrument charges according to the mass of the object to be conveyed and the distance to be transmitted. Each unit increase in the distance between the destination coordinate and the sending coordinate doubles the amount of energy required for teleportation. While it is theoretically possible to conserve resources by teleporting multiple short distances, the same construct cannot be teleported multiple times in a short period of time, which could lead to the dire consequences of disintegration during the teleportation process.
"Eh, where's the captain of your four groups?" Christina was cheerful and enthusiastic, and had become acquainted with the other group members over the course of a few days, and at the moment she was whispering to a member of the fourth group next to her.
"You know, our captain knows how to heal, and she should still be doing medical work outside. I heard that our fourth team will also be transformed into a medical team in the future. The members of the fourth group were also idle, and when they saw Christina talking, they also exchanged heads and began to talk.
"Quiet!" Glaring at the whispering employees below, Dora looked down at her watch and said, "Bear with me, it should be a minute or two away." ”
Commander of Operations is one of the most important jobs in the Vault, and Caroline has not received relevant skills training, and she may not be able to take on this job. As Caroline's confidant, Dora has received combat training in Vault 65 since she was a child, and not only has excellent physical skills and marksmanship, but also has enough experience in wilderness combat and command. In peacetime, when each combat group has a task, the commander-in-chief Dora is responsible for directing the battle. When she is not on a mission, Dora goes to the central control center to work part-time.
"Buzz......" After a while, the columnar instrument in front of him began to tremble slightly and roared.
Under the guidance of the laboratory supervisor, the regular staff of the laboratory began to operate in a panic, and after pressing the button a few times, the instrument stopped vibrating.
The door of the "sneer" instrument opened, and two men appeared in front of everyone.
The first thing that attracted everyone's attention was the golden dragon with gold stripes on a red background on their bright red light armor. The golden dragon was vividly depicted on the breastplate, and under the bright light, it seemed to float slowly.
"Hello hello, this is Vault 125, right?" A young-looking black-haired man on the left was a little excited and spoke very quickly.
Everyone below looked at the two people with puzzled expressions, and they didn't know where the language they spoke, and they couldn't understand a word.
Dora and Edith, who already knew each other's origins, put on the synchronous translator in advance, and after the black-haired man finished speaking, Edith handed the two translators to each other, and said in a broken word: "Welcome, please put on the machine...... Utensil. ”
"Is it so backward? Still using this thing? The black-haired man scratched his head and asked in some consternation.
The mature man next to him, who looked older, frowned, seemed to be a little displeased, and reminded loudly: "Yuan Rang! ”
Dora and Edith didn't react when they heard this, and motioned for everyone to get out of the way, and asked them to go to the lobby to meet Caroline.
The two took the translation machine, hung it behind their ears, and made their way to the lobby of the vault under the guidance of Dora and Edith.
Along the way, the man known as "Yuan Rang" from time to time let out "Wow! So original! "It's really a first-class shelter!" Words like that.
After taking the group to the lobby of the vault, Edith and Dora led the group back to a place where they could not hear their conversation.
Caroline stood in the middle of the lobby, with the translator behind her ears, while Athera, Kevin, Carl, and Ethan were already standing on either side.
It's not that I'm worried that the two system fighters who came to support will break out, after all, this is her refuge, although it is a small refuge at the first level, but it is more than enough to defend itself, and the follow-up countermeasures are also complete, once the other party is hostile in the shelter, it can guarantee the elimination of the other party.
She just wants them to know their attitude, and her side is not picking up the burden and leaving it all to the other party. If necessary, they will also do their best to help eliminate the swarm this time, after all, this is the trouble of their shelter in the first place.
"Two warriors, thank you for your support, do you need a little rest and supplies?"
"No need to be polite, the target of our mission is a small intelligent community with a threat level 1, the number of targets is more than 20, less than 40, if the target threat level exceeds the level of entrustment, we will immediately cancel the commission, and the losses caused will be borne by you." The mature man knew that some sentences and grammar might cause the machine to misread and mistranslate, so he deliberately slowed down the speed of speech and said sentence by sentence.
During this period, Yuan Rang just glanced at Ethan and the others, and began to look left and right without interest.
The man's voice was translated into a language that Caroline understood in time and reached her ears.
"Okay."
"So let's check it out, and if there are no problems, we'll go right away." The man said.
Caroline nodded, brought up the system panel, and took out one side of the surveillance screen separately for the two of them to browse.
Taking the panel, the man browsed carefully, Yuan Rang glanced at it and looked away with interest, squeezing at Athera behind Caroline, but Athera ignored him.
"There should be no problem, so please lead the way." The man said.
Yuan Rang, who had long been impatient, rushed to answer for Caroline: "Okay! It drew an elbow blow from the man.
"Okay, then please go to the surface with our combat commander." Caroline glanced at Dora and Edith, who were not far away, and the two of them understood and walked towards the elevator.
"Go too!" Caroline looked back.
Athera, Ethan, and the others took the order and took their respective groups to the elevator.
"That young man seems to be interesting to you!" Kevin quipped.
"Haha, he doesn't know what kind of person Sister Arthur is in private." Carl couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of Athera's grinning and rough appearance.
"What's wrong! What kind of person am I in private!? Carl, you make it clear to me! Is it itchy and underwhelming? Ashera threatened.
Listening to their laughter, Ethan couldn't help but laugh too.
Dora, Edith and a few staff members took the elevator upstairs first, because the elevator was too small to accommodate 5-6 people at a time, so they could only ride in batches.
Ethan and the rest of the Fifth Combat Group were the last to arrive, and when he came up, a loud rumble echoed in Ethan's ears.
Quickly put on the helmet, and the chaotic sound of electricity in my ears gradually calmed down.
"Esango, I'm Jeff, and the goal of this mission is to observe and learn." Jeff's image appears in the lower left corner of the mask, and a clear voice rings in his ears.
"Eh, connected?" "Hey, hey......" The voices of the members of the fifth combat team sounded in the helmets, from left to right, showing the different positions of several people.
"Sister Athera, they're already on their way, let's follow along!"
Accustomed to the discoloration effect of the mask, the scene in front of me gradually became clearer.
"Well, let's go!" Ethan gave the order, and the Fifth Combat Group officially began their first mission.
