Chapter Forty-Six: The Warrior Who Has Fallen to the Dust
(Epilogue: She and Her Mission with Youth)
April 25th
Turkey's largest hospital is located in the capital, and on this day the emergency room of the hospital welcomed an unprecedented patient, and most of the professional emergency doctors of the entire hospital walked into that special ward.
Although they are all troops with the BANG logo, they are not Turkish troops to be exact, but belong to people from American military bases.
"Is he okay?"
"Don't worry, that kid has a big life, and if you ask me how I know, the ghost will know if he can hold on."
Li Hao lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall outside the emergency room, his combat uniform was dirty and blackened the white wall.
"Why do you smoke so much, doesn't your wife let you smoke?"
"What do you know about a child, besides, she's not here."
He teased Lycia and sat back quietly, recalling how he had found Su Zhan, perhaps by fate or by luck.
————
Two days ago.
The young man slowly opened his eyes, and he quickly realized that he was now in the air, and there was a strong air pressure pressing on his body.
He tried his best to control the body and adjust the attitude, but when the propeller fuel was exhausted, even if the speed of falling diagonally could absorb a lot of impact, it was still difficult to avoid injury to the driver.
「warning! warning!」
He looked at the warning icons that filled the screen in the electronic board display, red lights and alarm sounds stimulating his senses.
The Alph icon in the window in the lower right corner has changed to Noelle's original appearance, and it still looks at him with a smile.
"Brother Su Zhan, give up on me, your survival rate is no more than 5% if the body rushes down at this speed, as long as the body does not explode and burn out, it will be difficult for me to disappear, and I also have a backup ......"
"That part of your memory, even if it's just a little bit, I've sent it to the satellite in low earth orbit as much as possible, so don't worry about me, you can quickly pop up and land."
The face of the girl on this screen looked like she was only a teenager, but she said very calm words, Su Zhan was silent for a few seconds, and finally decided to be ready to pop up.
"Emergency Exit Procedure Ready"
「5,4,3……」
Su Zhan watched the door of the cockpit slowly open, the outermost ablative baffle was ejected, and his body reclined on the seat with a relaxed expression and wanted to look at Noelle until the last moment.
"I'm sorry, Noelle."
As soon as he finished reading this sentence on his lips, he was sent to a distance by the catapult device, this kind of training Su Zhan has experienced a lot, but for some reason this time he was very scared, not because he was afraid that he would make a mistake, he was worried about Noelle.
Su Zhan, who had experienced many times of such training, even then failed to completely support this reaction force, and his injured body could not experience this sudden impact.
The reaction cracked one of his ribs, and he received a blow to the head, and the sudden fainting made it impossible for him to adjust his posture.
This also leads to the fact that even if the safety device automatically opens the parachute, his attitude is not adjusted so that his speed does not decrease fast enough, and the angle of falling into the ground is large.
When he finally fell, he was planted headlong in the desert, but fortunately, his strength was only a jump from a height of two or three meters, but this impact was enough to seriously injure Su Zhan.
All accidents or fate, Li Hao drove the improved Assault 21-B to Shuguang Company to do test work, and it was also by chance that his ability as an SLM carrier sensed Su Zhan, and found Su Zhan in the general direction of this ability.
Not only that, but also found the wreckage of the Super Kraken SE, fortunately the body did not burn, but the exterior was seriously damaged, and after successfully recovering the data about Noelle, he took Su Zhan to evacuate urgently.
Li Hao can't help but sigh when he thinks of that time, during the period when Su Zhan was in a coma, he tried his best to use the convenience given by Shuguang Company to recover the recovered data.
What he wanted to recover most was Noelle's data, which was also carried out very quickly, and fortunately, the data loss rate was less than 1%, but Su Zhan's physical recovery speed was not so fast.
Judging from the conclusion given by the doctor, the most serious damage to Su Zhan was the brain, especially some brain cells, and Li Hao instinctively suspected that it was a side effect caused by the Egma coordination system.
After looking at the relevant data recorded, Li Hao confirmed his conjecture, and he also asked Noelle a lot of things before he figured out Su Zhan's situation.
"He may not be unaffected by the Egma coordination system, and the synchronization rate of more than 200% can still hold on for so long, can I say that he deserves to be the strongest SLM carrier?"
"Actually, he was also injected by the NHSA with a drug called IF2, could it be the effect of that drug?"
————
Turkey is the only ally of BANG that is close to the NMA, which means that the military force here is not even weaker than that of the mainland.
BANG's major military bases are located in Japan's Hi-Tech Heavy Industries Zone, Guam, Alaska (Northern Star), Los Angeles Air Force Base, Turkey, and Egypt.
Li Hao actually wanted to get rid of Lycia's hostage very easily, but he wanted to thoroughly investigate what these people were going to do and what he was asked to do.
But so far it had only been for him to go through various tests and sparring, and he asked Lycia several times, but the quirky girl just wouldn't answer him directly.
This time, he didn't have any tasks, so he fortunately went to Su Zhan's hospital to have a look, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Su Zhan who was half-up.
Half of his body was bandaged, and he stared blankly out of the window until the door opened.
"Oh, I woke up early."
"Instructor Li Hao Huayce......?"
Still recognized himself quickly, which made Li Hao less worried, he was wearing a PU army uniform, and this appearance naturally quickly made the young man suspicious.
Su Zhan watched the man walk to his hospital bed and sit down, his eyes were still a little dull, it looked like he hadn't woken up, and there was a note book on the table on the side, and something was written on it.
"What date is today?"
"You're asking yourself how long you've been asleep, right, as of today, June 12th, it's been 48 days."
"What happened in the meantime?"
"I think you'd better wait until your body recovers before thinking about that."
Li Hao knew very well that the young man in front of him was very desperate and full of enthusiasm, but with his current body, he couldn't do anything at all.
"Instructor Li Hao, I hope you can help me recover, starting tomorrow."
"Hey, you kid still like to mess around so much, don't you?"
"Alright then, but you have to listen to me and rest well, or I won't be able to guarantee that I will be able to take you out of here tomorrow."
"Thanks, but I'm fine, really."
Su Zhan's words were very hard, his body really couldn't support it, even if the SLM carrier's body was much better than the average person, but even if his body had returned to normal during the period of coma, he wanted to suddenly have a violent attack without exercise for a long time, and it was estimated that he would not be able to hold it.
However, the physical cause is still secondary, he was eroded by the Egma coordination system, and the brain was stimulated and the impact of the fall was great, although the repair of brain cells has now been completed, but it has not yet been determined whether there are other diseases.
It took Li Hao quite a long time to finally calm down Su Zhan, and he also reached an agreement with him that once Su Zhan reached the discharge conditions, he would directly take him for rehabilitation training.
The physical recovery ability of SLM carriers is indeed impressive, but in only a week, Su Zhan was successfully discharged from the hospital.
According to the words agreed with Li Hao before, Su Zhan sent the communication directly after being discharged from the hospital.
"Looks like you're recovering well."
"Of course."
Since the debut of the Timm Industries in the world, the impact has been huge, especially for the NMA, which has always regarded Fipulos as the only opponent.
Suddenly, an unknown organization emerged, whose armed combat effectiveness was able to defeat even the armies of Phipolos and the Pacific Union.
After the end of the contest on the battlefield in the Middle East, NMA was greatly stimulated, and for this reason, it once again submitted a new order to the company.
In addition, they are not without tricks, and after ten years, they have taken advantage of the hot and cold war confrontation between BANG and ROEA to increase their armaments to a considerable extent.
At this point in mid-to-late June, the countries of the world did not make any big moves on the surface, but the intelligence and information war being waged secretly could be said to be quite tragic.
The General Intelligence Directorate of the East Asian People's Republic, the Philippe National Security Intelligence Agency, the Pacific Joint Information Control Coordination Department, and the Nordic Military Alliance's Operational Information Processing Center are all infiltrating and destroying each other's stored intelligence equipment.
Of course, there are also some special confrontations between intelligence agencies, such as the confrontation between the new E-Section and the NHSA by uniting the remnants of the Hexagonal Agency.
The consequences of these intelligence wars have been countless local wars, especially the covert rivalry between the Tim Industries and the Sigorid.
The mysterious super-battleship has not been seen again, and although BANG has not released footage in the Los Angeles Sea, intelligence agencies around the world have already had information about it.
This means that the whole world is trying to find this ship, but "they" are also looking for the "culprit" as much as possible.
The new factional struggle that Phipoulos started was caused by the NHSA, and that particular IF2 drug controlled the leadership of most of Phipoulos who belonged to SLM carriers, and the confrontation was a partisan of ordinary people.
Although BANG was aware of what the NHSA was doing, they had no reason to intervene, even though they knew about the NHSA's special relationship with the West Greed Company and the NMA military.
The East Asian People's Republic has been in a conservative posture, with all foreign troops returning, and the Second Fleet in the South China Sea, which had been on escort missions in the Indian Ocean, has also been recalled.
Towards July, the Timm Industries was supposed to be in a state of communication shielding, but after an intermittent shutdown, a message was received.
Angel Belle was too lazy to think about it, she was sleepy and drowsy when she was on duty in the command room, but who knew that on her right side, the man who had already fallen asleep actually woke up, and he also called for her to open it and take a look.
"Just a ...... made up of a bunch of numbers and letters"
While Angel Belle was still wondering what this meant, the man stood up and asked her to call the others.
It happened to be late at night, and it was at this time that the ship's daily inspection turned off the electromagnetic interference field generating device.
There weren't many people who came to the command room, and there weren't any Scanos, only Shirena and Leen and the others.
Shirena didn't think about it until she confirmed the situation with Kecheng, but she thought quickly and accurately.
"Roughly referring to the range of coordinates, a circle with a diameter between Greece and Turkey."
"Anyway, I thought you guys had done something bad to Angel Belle for the sudden communication."
"I'm not bored enough to do anything to a little girl under twenty, I didn't just call you here to listen to your teasing."
"Sister Xilena, he really didn't have anything to do with the seniors in Kecheng, but he suddenly woke up and asked me to send a communication, but he accidentally pressed the wrong button and sent it into a second-level emergency notice."
After hearing her explanation, Xi Rena glanced at Kecheng's face again before relaxing.
She put on her pajamas a little, and walked in front of Kecheng without caring about the occasion and stared at it for a while: "Your wife won't eat this kind of vinegar, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"Borrow your coat to wear, I'm too lazy to go back and change, I just ran here and broke my foot, but fortunately Leen helped me."
"Hey, it's not that cold in this boat, is it?" Kecheng said as he took off his coat and handed it over, "You feel cold, are you sick, in that case, you can go back first, and I will personally wake up Scanos later." ”
Xi Rena listened to his words, coupled with the exchange with Xiyu, she had to sigh helplessly, she didn't think it was strange for this man to keep looking at her, just because he was Kecheng, and he would definitely slap him hard if he was someone else.
"Big brother, are you sure you want me to talk to you in my pajamas all the time? If Xiyu comes later, or if someone tells her, won't I be beaten to death by your wife?"
"The problem was caused by the wrong level of emergency communication sent by Angie Belle."
Having said that, Shirena still put on his coat, pulled the zipper and smoothed the crumpled corners of her clothes, and then sat down in her assistant command seat.
"Let Geralt fly the Super Kraken Reconnaissance Type to do the first surveillance search, then order the HS700 shuttle to do the second more detailed surveillance search, and finally compare and analyze the intelligence data."
"That's it, Kecheng senior~"
Xilena glanced at Kecheng with a smug look.
"It's you."
"However, don't call me senior in the future, it always feels weird."
"Tsk, you're only a few years older than me."
Kecheng turned around expressionlessly, walked to the door of the command room, and paused again.
"There's a new situation calling me."
"Well, I see." Shirena held her face with one hand and watched the man below leave the door of the command room.
