Chapter 40: The Desert Hunter

April in the Middle East has been quieter, but only before the storm, with the new party led by General Sayeta, an armed group that is fighting more and more with government forces than in other regions.

Originally, the forces led by Kyerta were about to achieve the unification of the new country, but due to the intervention of the Nordic military alliance, the situation became extremely unstable again, especially the Sigorid Arms Company, which also made a fortune.

The army of the old party had already collapsed, but thanks to the assistance of the Sigorid Arms Company, the number of years of titanium ore mining was exchanged for nearly 30 Falcon Xes and other models of third-generation motorized infantry.

Not only that, but the nominal United Nations has also begun to deploy troops, such as a Strike 21-B team from the PINK Air Base in Egypt, which has flown into the war-torn area.

Troops from all over the world gathered here, only Fipulos and Dongya chose to remain silent, and BANG and NMA forces helped government forces reclaim more than a dozen occupied cities.

In the face of high-performance motorized infantry, Keyeta's armed forces are composed of a second-generation, second-and-a-half-generation, and quasi-third-generation motorized infantry.

This is why Kyerta regarded Su Zhan and the Aircraft as his trump card, and the only motorized infantry capable of fighting against the Assault 21-B and Falcon X.

"Guy Su Zhan, you just need to do a cover shot, and leave it to us to meet the enemy head-on."

"Understood."

The electronic communication was also gradually blurred, and Su Zhan looked into the distance through the monitor in the cockpit of the Super Kraken SE, and he wondered where these people who were driving the broken copper and iron got their confidence.

The first to attack was the 21-B squad that skimmed through the air, firing a total of 12 anti-motorized infantry missiles, a bombing blow that directly destroyed more than half of the motorized infantry in the stronghold.

It was like a one-sided crushing operation, but just as the pilot of the 21-B captain was lamenting the terrible situation on the ground and preparing to lead the team back, a sudden explosion was reflected in front of his eyes.

It was a direct hit from one of the thrusters of a Strike 21-B, and there was a violent explosion and burning, the entire fuselage burst into flames, and the pilot had to choose to eject and parachute away.

"Where did the attack come from?"

No sooner had he said this in the team's communications than the folding wing of the second Assault 21-B was shattered, causing it to lose control of its posture and stance.

"With this kind of range and accuracy, is the other party a master?!"

He had decided that he had to return immediately, for it had been shot out of the raging sand of the desert, and there was no target for attacking them.

I'm afraid the captain can't even think about how that person did it, the body hidden in the dust, how the pilot did it.

All five Assault 21-Bs rose vertically and quickly left the battlefield, and for the first time, these once-formidable blackbirds were repulsed, which made the people in the stronghold cheer.

The gray mech, which had been dyed brown and yellow by the blowing of the sand, slowly advanced back to the stronghold, carrying a sniper rifle for motorized infantry, using a magnetic orbital launcher to give the bullet ultra-high kinetic energy.

"The electromagnetic interference field strength is low, and communication is possible."

"Thank you for providing them with their intelligence."

"It's okay, little brother, you're really a genius, you can hit with just this bit of information, it's amazing!"

Su Zhan didn't reply, just sighed and leaned back on the seat, then chatted with Noelle, let the body return to the original standby position, and then unfolded the optical stealth film.

It didn't take long for his record to spread through the stronghold, shooting down and wounding one Blackbird, and only one person, using the sand and dust from the bombing as cover, and then sniping at his opponent.

His first battle was a complete victory, but he was not so quick to relax, and when Kyerta heard that the young man had done it, he immediately ordered him to hurry to the mountain stronghold HL9 at night.

"What gear do you want before you go?"

"Remove the magnetic orbital launcher and thicken the armor at the joints."

Su Zhan's request before departure was so simple, it was not that he didn't want to ask for anything, but after all, these people were just ordinary workers and the like, those more senior mechanics and maintenance personnel were on the side of the government army, and there were also a group of people from the West Gorid Arms Company to help with the preparation.

In order to save fuel and electricity, the Super Kraken switched to fighter mode, put the folding wings away and stored them in a truck, and the driver originally planned to come by himself, but when he just opened the door and stepped on, the face he saw made him dumbfounded.

"Brigadier Shahrir, why are you here?"

"It's not just me, but also Xiao Tuo."

Su Zhan maintained a stiff expression for more than ten seconds, he didn't expect this situation, Tuoqi Nayin jumped out of the cargo box of the car, she was wearing the standard combat uniform of the E department, and she also cut off her long hair, and now she was barely up to her shoulders.

She entered through the other side of the truck and looked at Shahril and Sue and said, "Let's go, we will support you in all your actions."

"I said you ......"

Su Zhan didn't know what to say, he sighed and just wanted to continue asking, Shahril made a gesture to let him go down.

"Sister Shahrier, what do you mean by that?"

"Stay in the cockpit of your airframe."

"Why, you would drive such a heavy truck?"

"Because none of us can unlock the body, and besides, when I get this certificate, I'm afraid you'll still be a little kid."

Su Zhan didn't want to say anything more, he held back the words he wanted to ask in his heart first, and then when he arrived in the cockpit of the Super Kraken SE, he wanted to sort it out first and ask little by little.

"Xiao Tuo, I said a long time ago not to cut off your long hair, you look at your little boyfriend's expression, as if he doesn't recognize you."

"Who told me at the time that it was better to cut it short......"

"That must be a slip of the tongue, or you misheard."

He waited for a long time and didn't see the truck start, and thought that Shahril was stubborn, and just when he wanted to ask her if she could drive it, the car finally started smoothly.

————

"Hey, why don't you two say a word?"

"Do you think I'm a light bulb?"

Shahril asked in the communication group as he drove the car, but there was silence on both sides.

A man who has been hiding his identity for a year is watching his every move as an ordinary girl, and he is not aware of it until she says it herself.

Su Zhan was faced with Su Lu's disappearance more than a month ago, his sister also lost all contact, and all the mysteries pointed to the NHSA, so he chose to come to the Middle East, where the NHSA has been most active recently.

Also on the day he chose to leave, Takuki Nayin confessed to him in the true sense of the word, slowly told him everything, and tried to convey his heart to him.

However, Su Zhan didn't answer a word that day, and left without saying a word, he didn't choose to reprimand, nor did he use some other means of revenge, just as Tang Shu himself said, she was attracted by Su Zhan's gentleness and kindness.

This journey is completely Shahrier's self-congratulation, only Xiao Tuo occasionally responds a few times, but Su Zhan really doesn't have a sound during the whole process, he is thinking about a lot of things.

The truck also quickly arrived in the mountains, this rugged surface, and all kinds of ravines, had to stop, but chose an anti-slope to stop, after all, this is the front line, even at night to take more precautions.

"Oh, it's so lively over there."

"And what is the twinkle of light......

Shahlil got out of the car and stood on a high spot looking at the red-yellow* field in the distance, where it was clear that there was a fierce fight.

However, Xiao Tuo didn't plan to come down yet, she just wanted to say what she was ready to say, but she didn't expect Su Zhan to say it first.

"Xiao Tuo, please help open the storage compartment under your control."

"Ah...... Well, okay. ”

She replied in a somewhat anxious and coping tone.

The Super Kraken SE takes off directly into the air vertically, then switches to motorized infantry mode to glide down to the surface with its folded wings unfolded.

"Sister Shahrir, let's talk about it later, I'll participate in the battle first."

"Hey, Su Zhan, wait!" Shahril looked at the picture of the communication interruption in the electronic board and was a little angry, she felt that Su Zhan must have deliberately turned on the electromagnetic interference field excitation device, "Why is this kid working so hard!"

Xiao Tuo also stepped down from the car to Shahril's side, and the eyes of both of them watched as the body repeatedly turned on the thrusters, jumping forward and hopping.

"You're worried about Su Zhan, aren't you?"

"Well, Sister Shahrir, can you help him?"

"This depends on whether the group of people on the Timm Industry will give face."

After more than ten minutes of jumping and traveling, the super kraken finally came to a place close to the flank of the battlefield, and the picture that Su Zhan observed through the monitor could be said to be very tragic.

"Model scan and identification comparison is Falcon Y, focusing on land combat attack mobile infantry"

The picture he saw was the weapon of the Falcon Y, and the three bodies of the heavy firepower type ruthlessly destroyed the old-fashioned Wolf Warrior, Evil Eagle and other types of motorized infantry.

Although Su Zhan had already taken aim, he didn't plan to attack immediately, not because he was worried that he would not be able to smash the heavy firepower and heavy armor type of Falcon Y, but because he wanted to wait for Falcon Y to use the large weapon similar to the AP composite rifle mounted on his back once.

After more than five minutes, as he wished, a Falcon Y finally used the weapon on its back, which was actually a high-energy destruction rifle.

After the fuchsia plasma beam pierced through two old motorized infantry, the violent explosion also ignited the bushes near the mountains, burning all the combustibles around them.

"Noelle, how many attacks do you need to penetrate the armor of the external thruster on the Falcon Y's butt?"

"It takes about three simultaneous hits to hit a very small range, what is your combat idea?"

"That's enough, thank you, Noelle."

After Su Zhan confirmed, he let the Super Kraken SE catapult into the air with a thruster, complete the aiming in the air and calculate the change values such as wind speed, but fortunately, Noelle is also helping him.

"The relative pressure change value of the ground contact is controlled between 3 and 4 levels, and more refined control requires manual input of the value."

The sniper rifle held by the Super Kraken SE fired three shots at the motorized infantry, and then smashed it on the ground, fortunately, the relative pressure value of the contact was well controlled, otherwise this reaction force Su Zhan would not be comfortable.

The three AP shells with ultra-high kinetic energy accurately hit the Falcon Y, which was ready to be fired and aimed, directly shattering both the armor and the mounted thrusters.

The pilot of the Falcon Y was not a rookie, so he immediately detached the mounted thrusters and planned to make a push to avoid an explosion.

However, his idea could not be realized, due to the lack of mounted thrusters, the weapons and heavy armor of the airframe itself made it impossible to push the ultra-high-quality airframe.

This also means that the explosion blew up the heavy armor mounted again, and also detonated the HE launcher, but fortunately, the HE missile has been exhausted in advance.

"Brother Su Zhan, your position has been exposed, isn't it time to change your position?"

As Su Zhan expected, the Falcon Y immediately began to counterattack, and the high-energy destruction rifle fired fuchsia plasma and rushed over.

Relying on his astonishing reflexes, he dodges and deliberately disorients his enemies by hitting the plasma beam with his sniper rifle.

At the moment when the Super Kraken SE ejected and jumped, the optical stealth system was activated to make the body disappear into the night, and the Falcon Y pilot was also very cautious to use the long-distance monitor to observe.

By the time he realized that he hadn't hit, he had already sensed the danger coming, but by this time it was too late.

Because the Super Kraken SE was no more than 50 meters away from him, the Super Kraken SE head cannon in the motorized infantry mode carried out a round of fierce strafing, and threw the alloy dagger mounted on his waist to stab at the Falcon Y.

The Falcon Y, which had lost the protection of its heavy armor, could not withstand such a fierce attack, coupled with the slow reaction of the pilot, directly destroyed this advanced third-generation motorized infantry.

The cockpit was shattered, the head monitor was badly damaged, and various parts were damaged, and it didn't take long for it to be paralyzed on the ground.

However, Su Zhan also had something he didn't expect, he didn't expect that the high calorific value fuel used by the third-generation motorized infantry was extremely explosive, so it was more than ten seconds after the Falcon Y was paralyzed.

The violent explosion produced a high-temperature air flow that directly ignited a large area of shrubs, and also caused a local lack of oxygen in this part of the area, and the shock wave was clearly felt by Shahril and Xiao Tuo, who were watching from the mountain highlands.

At 3 a.m., the government forces finally abandoned the night raid because they had lost an advanced third-generation motorized infantry, so they had to retreat.

The Super Kraken SE was directly pushed to an inclined plane by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and the entire fuselage can be said to be scorched, especially the head and folding wings.

Kyerta himself immediately prepared a helicopter to welcome the reckless man who came to the previous work, this young man who dared to fight, but at this time the young man was uncertain about his life and death.

"Su Zhan?! Can you hear me?!"

"Is there any way to open the cockpit, find a way!"

The girl anxiously banged on the cockpit position on the destroyed body of the Super Kraken, her eyes filled with tears and could be shed at any moment.

Shahril also seemed very anxious, but no matter how she sent the communication, there was no reply, and even the people on the Kyerta side could not safely open the cockpit for a while, and everyone was at a loss.

But after nearly ten minutes, there was finally a change, the cockpit finally opened, and Xiao Tuo, who was kneeling on the cockpit, smashed directly into the cockpit.

"Huh?!" Xiao Tuo pressed on Su Zhan before he could figure out what the situation was, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, the ablation baffle probably holds up, but ......" Su Zhan also replied a little unconscious, "If you press me with your chest as flat as a steel plate, I'm afraid I'm hopeless, it's very painful." ”

"What?!"

"I mean, the pressure of this blast blast is almost like tearing my body apart......"

Xiao Tuo pulled up Su Zhan's tired body, slowly carried it out of the cockpit, and then waved at Shaliel.

"Su Zhan, you stupid, you can't even bring a combat uniform and a protective helmet, you are lucky this time, otherwise you will ...... next time"

"You're worried that I'm going to hang up next time, right?"

Su Zhan said this very calmly, and his expression also had an inexplicable smile.

"If you talk nonsense, I'll let you go!"

"No, I'm wounded now."

The girl said so, but instead she held Su Zhan's hands and grasped them harder, she lost to Su Zhan for the first time.

"Xiao Tuo."

"Well, what's wrong?"

"You look good with short hair, too."

“……”

She raised a small white flag to Su Zhan in her heart.
