The last special forces unit of the Federation is the AS special service team that Joga has just sent out. This unit is not really an infantry unit in the strict sense, but a mecha unit. AS is a single soldier heavy armor system that the Aria Group had secretly researched before the development of the mecha, and with the help of the Night Mother's humanoid robot research materials, the Aria Group had already completed some of the test samples before the outbreak of the war. The completion of these samples also allowed the Aria Group to complete the design and manufacture of the mecha in a short period of time. In the words of one of their design staff, the mech is just an 8-fold enlargement of the power armor, then a cockpit and a cheap joint and power system, and that's it.

Power armor is similar in appearance to mechs, but the internal structure is much more complex. After the surface armor is disassembled, there are various power transmission devices around each part of the power armor, the most important of which is the power ring that links the joints, which are composed of dozens of tiny pinions and hydraulic shafts to increase the strength of the joints without affecting the flexibility of the joints. These things are designed to increase the strength and flexibility of the humans who wear them. The consideration of the mecha is much simpler, and the joints can be designed to imitate human joints, instead of forming a structure that surrounds the joints.

In addition to the joint structure, the power armor also uses a series of external power assist devices, which link the joints and the hydraulic axes at the joints to increase the power of the AS. Aria's designers also installed an ultra-small, high-performance jet engine on its back while armoring the AS, allowing the AS to glide like a Ranger using the ground effect.

However, these excellent features have given the Power Armor, which completed the research and development work earlier than the mecha, a fatal drawback, that is, it is too demanding for the operator.

The operator of AS not only needs to be able to adapt well to the sense of incongruity brought about by external assistance, but also needs to be able to flexibly use weapon systems and ground effect jetpacks. It is important to know that the discomfort of being confined in a small, closed environment is very difficult to overcome. Otherwise, the soldiers would not have had a big drop in their combat capability after putting on chemical protective clothing.

However, there are also a very small number of people who are not only able to overcome the cramped environment, but also can adapt well to the sense of incongruity of the wrong force, and these people can only become part of the 120 members of the AS special forces after passing the complex AS operation training and the brutal military special forces training.

If the Reaper Sabre is known as the Blade of the Federation, then the AS Agents are the Shields of the Federation. Equipped with armor that can withstand the damage of most medium-sized weapons, Power Armor is an indispensable bodyguard for the protection of federal dignitaries. A team of one hundred and twenty people. Two commandos are responsible for the protection of seven members of the Supreme Council, while one commando is responsible for guarding the Chamber of Deputies of the Chamber of Deputies. The remaining commando team is usually used as a mobile unit, providing protection for some important people who move around, such as the supreme commander of the capital star in this wartime, General Joga.

The advent of the power armored forces, the almost terrifying performance in infantry battles, made the federal top brass excited, but the two major reasons for the expensive miniature power system and the difficulty of operation made the federal military department have to give up the dream of fully militarizing AS. The second best thing to do was to approve the use of AS to form a special forces, which is the AS special service at this time.

However, the bigwigs of the military department still did not give up on forming a force similar to power armor, so the clever Alicia provided them with a simplified version of the AS design, one that did not use expensive power rings, only used hydraulic axles to provide hand and leg assistance, and the installation volume was large. Less efficient, inexpensive heavy armor system for ordinary jet engines.

Hoplites compared to Power Armor. Lacking flexibility, but not inferior in terms of firepower and protection, the design was adopted almost as soon as it was brought out, and became a sequence of Union infantry, only because it appeared very late and the price was not very cheap. To date, the Federation has only deployed a heavy support division on Earth, the home planet of mankind.

While forming the AS Special Service Team for the Federation, the Aria Group also invested in the development of power armor auxiliary equipment, the most satisfying of which was the Extreme Support System.

The Speed Support System uses the Expeditionary-class heavy rocket, the Federation's most commonly used expeditionary heavy rocket, to project an AS-equipped airborne capsule into an area where power armor support is needed. The rocket will drop the capsule at an altitude of 13,000 meters. The big guy then starts the three deceleration jet engines mounted on its side with all his might. At an altitude of 1,800 meters, the three jet engines automatically exit the airborne capsule, and then the three hatches are blown open, giving the ASs less than a minute to jump out of the airborne capsule and use their power armor ground effect flight system to make a selective landing.

Joga looked at the rocket in the distance on the display screen and whispered, "I've done my best, I can only pray that the Night Boy is okay at this time." ”

In the Pompeii tunnel, Jonny and the others had covered his ears, and then Mike slammed down the detonator. The directional explosives were detonated, blowing a large amount of wreckage away.

"Ahem, Mike, how many explosives did you use, how could it be so powerful?" Affected by the aftermath of the explosion, Johnny shook his head a little dizzy and asked angrily.

"I didn't expect the wreckage to be so thin, so I used a little more, Captain." Mike embarrassedly hooked the corners of Jonny's mouth.

"You idiot, you almost shocked everyone to death, forget it, time is running out at this time, and I'll settle accounts with you later. All the staff get on the bus, let's hurry to the fourth hangar. ”

Outside the fourth hangar, Ye opened the cockpit canopy of his mecha with some difficulty, and into the eye of the night, what made the pupils of the night shrink sharply was the huge mushroom cloud in the distance.

"Oh my God." The night that climbed out of the mecha was shocked by the sight in front of him, none of the houses around the street were now more than three floors, and all the buildings were burning, flames erupted from the broken walls and windows, and the smoke and dust from the nuclear explosion shrouded the sky over Pompeii, making the already not very bright sunset even darker.

The silver bear style could no longer see a little bit of its original color, and it was finished as a pile of black scrap metal lying on the ground. The legs, the joints of the hands, the weak points of the defensive armor have all been melted down and become one. Even if the bear-like power system was intact, it would not be possible for such a mecha to stand up at night.

Ye who looked at the miserable appearance of his mecha shook his head, and gently punched the mecha as a farewell to his comrades-in-arms, but this light blow made Ye feel abnormal pain.

"Cut, have you been harmed by radiation? Now it's in trouble. Night looked at his hands, but the originally white and girl-like hands showed an unusual pink. The blinding little red spots told the night that he was being eroded by a large dose of nuclear radiation.

Night opened a carry-on backpack around his waist and quickly found a plastic film to keep him warm, wrapping his body, although he knew that it was not very useful, but it was better to have a layer of protection than to face the terrifying radiation directly.

"If only there were anti-radiation agents." Ye looked at the mushroom cloud in the distance and thought, "But how can the Resistance have that kind of thing, the price of that shot of potion is as high as a truckload of ammunition, it seems that this time it is dead." ”

Suddenly. Night felt a burst of warmth in his nose, and when he reached out and touched it, his hands were wet, and it was obvious that the capillaries in his nose could not withstand the damage of radiation and ruptured.

"I had a nosebleed for the first time after joining the army, I hope the method used when I was a child worked." Looking at the dazzling red on his hands, he couldn't help but think of when he had a nosebleed when he was a child, his father always let himself silently use his mental method, and whenever he used his mental method. The nosebleed stopped in just a few seconds.

The heart moved at will, and a slight heat began to come out of the dantian and circulate the limbs and hundreds of remains. It doesn't feel any different from when I was a child, and it still makes people feel comfortable wanting to speak out. After running for a week, Night reached out and touched his nose to make sure that the nosebleeds did not flow again.

"It's still as effective as when I was a kid." Ye smiled and saw that there was no fresh blood on his index finger, and then, he made a bigger discovery. The red spots on my hands have become significantly less.

The night, who originally thought he was dead, immediately sat down cross-legged, and the mind that had stopped working was once again running wildly under the urging of the night. The tiny heat in his body flowed through his body again, and Ye felt it, bringing out a trace of heat from his skin every time he passed through it. Heal your body.

"This heat is the energy of radiation." Night thought about it as she accelerated the operation of her mind again. When I was a child, my grandfather once said that the heart method can absorb the energy between heaven and earth and use it for his own use, but after practicing at night for two years, there is only a trace of qi, which makes the night lose confidence in the efficacy of the heart method, and just take this thing as a physical exercise, but I didn't expect that my grandfather's original words were completely correct, and I couldn't help but be glad that I still remember the heart method, instead of forgetting it in the depths of my mind.

The heat flow flowed in the night body seven times, completely absorbing the radiation in the night body, and on the eighth time, the night realized that something was wrong, a large amount of radiation began to enter his body along his skin, and frantically poured into the heat flow, stretching his meridians to swell.

"I'm too greedy, I shouldn't have run my mind so quickly." Night slowly reduced the speed of his mind, but the energy of the riot still caused Ye to suffer a lot of internal injuries, and he could only open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood to dissolve the pressure on his internal organs.

With a squeak, a hound came to a halt beside Night, and Jonny jumped out of the car and grabbed Night, "Sir, are you okay, why are you vomiting blood?" ”

"I'm fine, Jonny." The night shook his head, which was a little dizzy from the impact of the energy in his body.

"It's okay, sir, we're going to inject you with anti-radiation agents." Jonny took the needle from his hand, pulled off the lid and said.

Night tilted his neck and allowed Jonny to inject the potion into his body, and then asked with some curiosity with the empty needle, "How do you have such an expensive potion?" ”

"I got it from the supply depot, and when I saw that it was a new drug, I couldn't help but be curious, so I asked the supply staff to take a box and come over to play." Jonny's explanation made Ye a little crying and laughing, but it also gave Ye a message, that is, someone in the Resistance must have planned to arrange ****, or maybe prepare this kind of injection.

"I thought someone was deliberately fooling you and secretly hiding the ****, but it doesn't seem to be the case now." Night climbed into the car and whispered.

"What did you say, sir?"

"It's nothing, Johnny, go find Wang Hui and them, their mechs are there."

Wang Hui and his three mecha were not as prepared as they were at night, so they were all blown to a building a hundred meters away and lay on the ground in an extremely indecent posture. However, to the luck of the people who arrived, although the armor of the cockpit canopy part of the three mechs was also melted like the armor in other places, it did not lock the cockpits of the three mechs, otherwise the work of opening the hatch was enough for seven people who did not have many tools to drink a pot.

Wang Hui, Dennis and Lelina were still unconscious in the cockpit because of the impact, and the helpless Jonny could only carry them into the car one by one and inject the drug. On the side, the night was glad that they were unconscious, if it weren't for the fact that they stayed in the cockpit with excellent sealing, I am afraid that the three little ones would have died of excessive radiation.

"Sir, where are we going next after we go to the pick-up point?" Jonny threw away the empty needle in his hand and got into the car to ask the night.

"Go east to the Federally occupied territories."

Three jeeps drove out of burning Pompeii, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, taking advantage of the chaos of the Imperial army, they drove towards a small oasis three kilometers to the east, where Madame Émex had arranged a receptionist, and there were much faster warthog-like jeeps.

In the oasis, Night was surprised to see that among the receivers, the figure of Mrs. Emes appeared, this graceful and luxurious old man was wearing a federal military uniform at this time, and he looked very temperamental.

"Long time no see, ma'am." Night smiled and greeted the old man.

"Indeed, night, I didn't expect our next meeting to be under such circumstances." Madame also gave Ye a smile back, but this smile contained a lot of helplessness.

Jonny and the others quickly activated the Warthog, and then, with some reluctance, installed time-delay explosives for his hounds to prevent these vehicles from being used by the pursuers to pursue them.

The convoy of eleven Warthogs set off again, and on the way, Night also learned why Mrs. Emes was waiting for them in the Oasis. In fact, Jonny was not the first to discover the ****, and Mrs. Ameis's guards were the first to discover the **** hidden in the Gobi warehouse, which also led to Zakaev's assassination of Mrs. in advance.

Madame's guards, with the help of some of the resistance, escaped the Gobi and managed to shake off their pursuers and escape the search force sent from Cambeth. But having lost the radio, they had no way to reach the night, so they had to rush to the oasis at about 3 p.m. at the scheduled pick-up point. (To be continued......)
