Although Zhao Yu had a trace of doubts about Fisher's unplanned role that suddenly jumped out, but with the route pointed out by Fisher, he had to admit that this young man who was as thin as a bamboo pole was a rookie, and he actually left his senior sister alone in a lonely lakeside hut.

"Stephanie, I found Zhao and them!" As soon as Fisher entered the door, he shouted loudly, and no matter how he heard it, it meant "praise me quickly".

"Good, Fisher." A weak voice came from the corner of the hut, Zhao Yu finally saw Stephanie Mendes, who looked similar to the photo, but Stephanie's face was pale, obviously still injured, Christine quickly examined her, and confirmed that it was a fracture of the ribs and shoulder bones, if it can be treated in time, it will be recovered in about ten days, so the next is the most critical question: "Where is your doctor?" ”

"In the 14th district...... NTS northeast, but I need to have a map to point you out. Stephanie replied in a low voice, "I'll go back with you." ”

"Are your injuries alright?"

"Hold on."

Christine shrugged: "I'd better inject you with a shot of nutrients first, otherwise you'll be half dead when you get there." ”

The door suddenly opened, and Kuroda Mitsutada walked in and handed Zhao Yu a projector.

"For me?" Zhao Yu looked at the sign on the projector, "Temporary emergency communication? ”

Kuroda nodded.

"Who will it be......" Zhao Yu muttered in his heart, took it and opened it, so a black officer appeared in the projection, seeing that the rank was a lieutenant colonel, and his appearance was completely unfamiliar.

"I am Lieutenant Colonel Brown Watkins of the Department of Security of the West Coast Republic. Mr. Zhao Yu, Ms. Christine, I have been instructed to inform you," the black lieutenant colonel got straight to the point, "that you must hurry to the place where Dr. Thomas Bigson is located as soon as possible. ”

"We've tried to speed things up as much as we can." Christine rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you see that the connector sent by Dr. Thomas is still lying here?" ”

"I suggest you act now, someone will come to their rescue later."

"No kidding, how do I find that Dr. Doctor's place with no one to lead the way?"

"A national army mechanized unit is providing emergency support to the Third Theater of Operations, they have just left the city of Mono north of the town of Levenin, if you catch up now, you can go with them, your destination is the same."

These words stunned everyone, and Zhao Yu asked in disbelief: "Why are even the regular troops of the National Army dispatched?" Aren't we supposed to act in secret? ”

"It's not to escort you, this unit is there to protect Dr. Thomas. Surveillance shows a significant number of Union forces changing direction towards the Doctor's position, and it is reasonable to believe that the location of the Doctor has been revealed. Lieutenant Colonel Brown replied, "We have sent a message to that National Army unit, and they will let you go with you—provided you can catch up." ”

"Can't catch up?"

"Then please work your own, and good luck to you." The lieutenant colonel replied, "I still have a lot of business to attend to on my side, San Francisco is in a mess right now, and if nothing else, this is the end of this communication." ”

"Another temporary mission." Zhao Yu sighed, "Work hard, ......"

Christine looked thoughtfully at the projector whose projection had disappeared: "The national army passing through the city of Mono ...... It must have been the troops sent by the Fifth War Zone, and now this situation has to be reinforced by a force, and that Dr. Thomas seems to be more important than we think...... Zhao Yu, are you sure you want to listen to them? Maybe there's a big problem over there, and it's the best choice for us to slip away now, right? ”

"No, absolutely not!" Fisher screamed again, "We've been waiting for you! ”

"Shut up, idiot." Christine raised her pistol, "We weren't obligated to die in the first place. ”

Fisher immediately stopped talking.

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and pressed Christine's pistol down: "I don't think it's a good choice to escape in this situation at the moment, don't forget that even the gray wolf over there has been sent out to deal with us, and the next time we are entangled by the gray wolf, Sima will definitely not help, and Dr. Thomas, who can create a guy like Gabriel, sounds like a good choice." ”

Christine looked at him: "That's it? ”

Zhao Yu scratched his face: "And ...... Don't you think that we were dragged to this point by those big people in the back, but we didn't dig out the secrets behind it, and just walked away, a little unwilling? ”

Christine raised an eyebrow: "I like this idea more." ”

Just do it, Christine helped Stephanie into the car after giving her an emergency treatment, Zhao Yu turned his head and saw Fisher also coming over, and was stunned for a moment: "Don't you have a car yourself?" ”

"It's broken." Fisher replied embarrassedly.

Zhao Yu and Christine rolled their eyes together.

Fortunately, Kuroda Mitsutada's car was large enough to stuff five people, and the off-road vehicle roared all the way to the east, and finally saw the steel torrent in the distance after a few hours.

"MF1, MF2, Heavy Shield, BTX...... Oh, and personnel carriers. Christine looked at the advancing chariots from afar, "The capital is very sufficient, at least a mecha regiment." Are we really going to be involved in this? ”

"I say no now, will you agree?" Zhao Yu asked rhetorically.

Christine smiled.

The approaching car quickly caught the attention of the marching troops, and more than one vehicle turned its guns, bringing the off-road vehicle into the range of attack, after all, although a car would not have much effect if it was fully loaded with explosives, it would be a different matter if the vehicle was also equipped with electromagnetic bombs or something.

In the non-stop locking alarm, the communication on the other side finally came: "This is the 601st Mecha Regiment of the Fifth Theater of the West Coast National Army, which is on combat duty, and the vehicles on the side should identify themselves, otherwise they will be attacked." ”

"We are on orders from the Ministry of Security to join you." Christine hurriedly replied, "Security authorization is sent now." ”

After a few seconds, the voice on the other side sounded again: "Permission confirmed, welcome to come with us, I'm Sergeant Major Isaac, we will rest in the plain in front for thirty minutes, and then we will meet." ”

"Roger."

By this time they had entered a desert composed mainly of hills, which was one of the most striking features of the Third Theater: an almost entirely desertified theater of operations, of which Sergeant Borg had spoken of with nostalgia countless times as "a paradise for heavy chariots."

In Zhao Yu's time, this place also had a name called Nevada.

The chariot unit was parked in an open and open wasteland, which from the crack in the ground seemed to be once a lake, but now not a single grass could grow. A group of mechanics jumped out of the troop carriers and rushed to each vehicle to begin testing, replacing badly worn parts and half of the used power tanks.

Mitsutada Kuroda also opened the car door: "I'm going to hand over to Sergeant Major Isaac." ”

He ...... Is it the first time you have spoken today? Zhao Yu was surprised, "I was going to think he was dumb, is it okay to let him negotiate?" ”

Everyone nodded, it seems that Zhao Yu is not the only one who has this idea.

"We're about an hour's drive from the Special 14 area." Stephanie Mendes whispered, "It's totally there before dark." ”

"I hope the coalition forces don't think the same way." Fisher said with a bitter face.

Christine glanced at the two of them, and suddenly reached for the pistol again: "Okay, my friends, now while there is still time, let's have an open and honest conversation...... What the hell are you going to do, Dr. Thomas? ”

Both Stephanie and Fisher were stunned, not knowing what to say for a while, and finally Stephanie replied, "Mr. Zhao Yu is very important to the doctor's plan. ”

"Project Twilight? I know this – but why? What is Project Twilight? ”

The corners of Zhao Yu's mouth moved, but he still didn't make a sound.

Stephanie shook her head: "It's absolutely secret, I can't reveal it." ”

"I just like people like you who stick to their principles." Christine pointed her gun at Fisher again, "Are you like that too?" If so, great, I can test which of you is more principled - how about this gun? Each person takes turns taking one shot until one person can't hold out. ”

Fisher's lips were trembling: "You won't do this, you won't kill us......"

"You're half right, I won't kill Stephanie first, she's probably going to be shot twice now, but Fisher, it seems that you can take two more shots."

"You...... Can't do that! Fisher shuddered and said, "There's a whole mech group watching here!" ”

"Will they care about this?" Christine narrowed her eyes, "You're not Dr. Thomas, you're not Zhao Yu, in short, you're not any one of the indispensable people in their plans, otherwise how could you be sent out on this ghost mission?" Two rookies with no military training, running to a place where the Union army might attack and lurking and waiting for someone? Either someone wants you to die, or ...... Are you a spy for the Union Army? ”

"I'm not a spy!" Fisher screamed, "We had no idea that the Confederates would attack Levenin!" ”

Zhao Yu sighed: "Christine......"

"Zhao Yu, shut up." Christine interrupted him, "This matter is about the lives of both of us, I want to know the truth!" I'm not going to die in some kind of research institute for no apparent reason! ”

"It's not going to be life-threatening." Stephanie finally spoke again, "I can't tell you the details now, I can only guarantee that your lives won't be in danger." Mr. Zhao Yu has what the doctor needs, and as for Miss Christine, you ...... You just volunteered to follow, didn't you? You weren't in our plan in the first place, and to be honest, we didn't even think about what to do with you. ”

Christine's eyes widened, and she didn't know how to answer her mouth for a while, until Zhao Yu couldn't help but laugh and shouted again: "Christine! ”

"What to do!" Christine gritted her teeth and said, "I'll warn you first, if you dare to say something stupid like 'now you know you're in trouble', I'll definitely give you a bullet first!" ”

Zhao Yu looked out the window: "No, there seems to be something else." ”

An MF1 broke away from the queue and rumbled towards the SUV, its muzzle aimed at the compartment, and a voice rang out from the megaphone: "Look what I found?" Two deserters from the Fifth War Zone, or traitors? You'd better get out of the car honestly, or I'll smash the car with one shot. ”

"It's none of our business!" Fisher screamed, "They are, we are not!" We are civilians! ”

Zhao Yu and Christine rolled their eyes at Fisher again.

Then Zhao Yu ignored the rookie, opened the door and jumped to the ground, then walked to the MF1 chariot and raised his middle finger at the muzzle.

The voice on the loudspeaker was louder: "I warn you not to defy the army!" ”

Christine also got out of the car and sighed at the ugly "DAETH" on the side of the MF1: "It's nice to see you again, Sergeant Borg Ansor. ”

The top cover of the battle spider opened, and a blonde young man appeared in front of Zhao Yu with a familiar malicious smile: "I'm also glad to meet you, Private Christine...... But old man, why the fuck are you here? I thought you should be on some coast of Asia right now! ”

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly tiredly: "It's hard to say." ”

"Why are you here?" Christine asked, "Aren't you in Wade?" ”

"Weed has been taken by the Confederate forces, and I and the 601st Mecha Regiment were ordered to go south to the Sacramento Line after breaking through." Sergeant Borg shrugged, "Then I got an impromptu assignment - and then I met you guys in this place of the hell. What are you doing here? ”

"Our destination is the same." Zhao Yu replied.

"You two?" Borg looked at Zhao Yu, and then at the off-road vehicle, "Come to the third war zone with a few civilians?" Are you as crazy as my boss? ”

"The WPA, along with the Ministry of Security of the West Coast Republics, ordered us to go to Special 14, the Third War Zone, Dr. Thomas Bigson's Institute, and you too?" Christine watched Borg's expression change with a gloating tone, "It's all said that our destination is the same." ”

Borg stared blankly at the two: "I shouldn't have come to say hello to you...... Hell, I'm going to have a bad feeling now. ”

"It's okay, Captain, I don't even have that hunch yet." Zhao Yu comforted.

At this time, Kuroda Mitsutada ran back: "The special 14th district has just sent an emergency contact, and the coalition army has already appeared nearby, we must speed up, let's go now!" ”

Borg obviously got the same news from the communication channel, and turned his head to look at Zhao Yu with desperate eyes: "Old man, what did you just say?" Nothing? ”

"Well, now there is." Zhao Yu said with a dry smile.
