Corporal Ike

Unknown vein star, 6.3km from the Rising Sun sub-base

======

Ike walked on a scorched earth, a thick layer of energy crystals spread irregularly across the ground. They are dark and shiny, making the entire ground look like it has been burned.

The air seemed to be distorted, looking like layers, refracting an endless dazzling light.

The ground temperature has reached 76C, and in this environment, the water vapor cannot be retained at all, and it will soon evaporate into the air and rise to the clouds.

The clouds in the sky were stacked together, but even so, they could not resist the scorching sun.

The sunlight directly penetrated the clouds, scorching everything on the earth, including Zoomlion and the Rising Sun, without the slightest favoritism.

"Papa" "Papa" military boots stepped on the hard ground, and under the deliberate action of their owners, the sound of their tapping was extremely subtle.

Ike looked around, and all around him was a desolate scene. Not to mention a single grass and tree, even ants can't be found, it can really be said that birds don't fly.

The only thing that exists here is the Energy Crystal Mine, and there are countless kinds of Energy Crystal Ore.

Gibbs crystals are just a very common kind, and there are many more precious energy crystals here, which can be found almost everywhere, as if they have become cabbages on the side of the road.

But Ike turned a blind eye to these energy crystals, his attitude had changed from shock and joy at the beginning, then to a little calm, and then to the current insensitivity.

These energy crystals are undoubtedly very important to Ike as an arms dealer, not to mention that he is still in the period of "working alone" and does not have any employees.

However, now that it was time to carry out the mission, Ike temporarily turned his attention away from the energy crystals and focused on the entire mission.

Captain Mika valued him so much that he even gave away SVD-EX48. If he messed up this task, it would be too much to say.

That's right, it was given to Ike, not for him temporarily, so he undoubtedly owes Mika a big favor.

However, it is completely possible to wait until the end of the mission, and then he can rest assured that he can boldly mine wantonly, and he will not have any worries about how to grab it.

Ike looked around, and according to the message from "Saiko", he was only 6.3 kilometers away from the mission location.

It's in this direction.

Following the map that "Saiko" had in mind, Ike walked for about ten minutes before changing direction again and walking towards the east.

After another hour or so, the outline of a small base began to appear in front of me.

There are still 1.8 km left from the target.

Ike quietly hid behind a piece of energy crystal, and he poked his head out slightly, looking cautiously ahead.

1.8 kilometers is already a very dangerous distance, and according to the information of "Saiko", he is already within the detection range of the Rising Sun Base.

It's just that because Ike is agile and dodges all the way, he hasn't been discovered.

"Turn on Face Armor Mode." Ike thought silently.

"Yes, master."

The object in sight was suddenly pulled closer, and everything from the house to the ordnance could be seen clearly, and even the Rising Sun soldiers in the distance could see what they were wearing and what they looked like.

The specific situation of that base was completely clear to Ike.

This is one of the features of the "Saiko" Visor mode, which allows you to see things in the distance and relay information to your mind. Visor mode also provides data analysis and thermal imaging capabilities.

In addition to that, it has a static analysis feature. At the opening ceremony, Ike was able to see the specific flight status of the S12 sound barrier aircraft, and it was this function that he relied on.

The base is still relatively well defended, with automatic scanning towers on all four sides, and two soldiers guarding each of them.

This is a combination of automation and people, and the automatic watchtower can automatically scan everything around it, and at the same time analyze the surrounding information and react. And the soldiers play a role of auxiliary, but this auxiliary is also indispensable. No matter how good a machine is, it is only a machine, and humans still play an essential role in it.

It doesn't seem easy.

Looking at the direction of the route, there are three automatic watchtowers on that side. Now he must not rush forward, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered, and once he is discovered, only death awaits him.

Gotta find a way to get in.

Ike carefully observed every corner of the base, and there were three watchtowers in front of him.

If he dodged the detection of these automatic watchtowers, he could still do it with bullet time and extraordinary reflexes. But it was impossible to evade the constant detection of the watchtower and the Rising Sun soldiers at the same time.

So he had to kill the people on the towers.

Ike pondered, and combined with the large amount of data provided by "Saiko", a battle plan had already begun to take shape in his mind.

There are three towers in total, and there are two people in each tower, and he must kill them at the same time. After killing two people in one watchtower, you have to kill the people in the other tower in the next few seconds to avoid detection.

The Kaspersky EX48 has been slung cross-body on both arms, and Ike uses the "Saiko" to enter the command on it, and the entire body of the gun immediately becomes transparent, which is the optical stealth mode of the sniper rifle itself.

He stretched out his waist slightly, and at the same time placed the sniper rifle on top of the energy crystal, and aimed his left eye at the electronic scope, adjusting the magnification.

The Soldier of the Rising Sun in the field of vision began to zoom in, and when it was one-fifth the size of the entire screen, the picture stopped changing, and the size began to stabilize.

However, in the center of the crosshairs of the electronic scope, it was aimed between the two soldiers of the Rising Sun.

Two seconds later, Ike pulled the trigger.

There was no laser eruption, and the muzzle of the black hole was still calm, and nothing changed.

But in the field of vision of the sniper scope, the two Rising Sun soldiers in the center of the watchtower, for some reason, their entire bodies began to disappear rapidly, and they disappeared completely in less than a second.

They evaporated from the world, leaving no trace.

This is the attack method of SVD-EX48 in optical camouflage mode, in this case it emits invisible and transparent oscillating microwaves, or some invisible light.

The powerful microwave that was launched just now directly shattered the two Rising Sun soldiers, and at the same time, all the automated monitoring equipment in the guard tower was also destroyed by the microwave attack of this gun.

At the same time as this shot was fired, Ike directly used the bullet time. In the midst of an infinitely slowing world, he picked up SVD-EX48 and leaned upward.

Leaning over, he pulled the trigger twice.

Still as before, the microwave directly shook the soldier into powder, and all the instruments were destroyed.

At this point, all three watchtowers have been killed.

Settle. Now it's time to infiltrate the base.

This is the first drop of blood, on the vein star.

Ike thought silently.

And his blood is equivalent to six kills of super gods.
