Back in the cave, Team Noble's Tech Officer Kate is trying to convince everyone on the team to try the plan she just came up with, and she has tried to convince their captain, but because her plan is so "crazy", she needs the support of her teammates to carry it out.

After she explained her plan, the members of Noble's team were stunned, as Kate's plan was to let all of them use their strengths and try to destroy the Covenant supercarrier above them by embarking and destroying them.

Honestly, it's not too bad, if you don't consider the terrifying difficulty of each of the steps! Considering that the supercarrier could use its artillery fire to inflict an area strike on the ground below, the crew reluctantly agreed to the crazy plan, and their captain reluctantly reported their latest plan to Command.

A few minutes later, their plan was agreed upon by the command. Carter sighed and prepared to take his men to the death, I mean on this difficult mission. When the whole group returned to the place where they had hidden the small troop carrier with mixed feelings, they discovered something unexpected.

Several long weapon crates appeared out of thin air as if by magic, with no signs of friendly forces nearby or Covenant activity. When they saw these boxes, their first reaction was whether it would be their hallucination. After making sure everyone had seen the boxes, Captain Carter wondered if it was a trap.

"Kate, check the box. Others, spread out and be vigilant! He commanded, and the members of Noble's team quickly found cover nearby, preparing for a possible Covenant attack.

But. Their vigilance was superfluous, and after carefully inspecting the boxes, their tech officer, Kate, found that there were no traps like Thunderbolt inside or outside the boxes. It looked like something left to them by a pair of friendly soldiers who were too friendly to pass by.

After confirming that it was safe, they opened the weapons cases, only to see a large pile of weapons and equipment that they had never seen before. Experimental Gauss rifle, Jace plasma rifle...... There are even several optical camouflage generators that you can take with you wherever you go.

Besides. All of these weapons and equipment also have manuals, as if someone had prepared a gift for them. After opening the last weapon case, they also found a piece of paper signed "Fairy Godmother" with the words "No thanks, stay vigilant!" "A few big words.

"It's not my hallucination, is it?" I mean, I've heard of people hallucinating when they're hungry or lack sleep. That's not the case, right, guys? Guys? The emir, wearing a skull helmet, asked with a sense of humor as he looked at his zone vigilantly. However, his teammates were not in the mood to pick up his jokes at this time.

"This is the second time, who is leaving this?" Carter, their captain, muttered to himself with confusion that he was not happy about the gifts that had fallen from heaven. As an experienced veteran, he knows very well: if something goes wrong, it will be a demon! That's right.

The fact that the person or organization who signed the Fairy Godmother left messages in a mocking tone and repeatedly interfered with their actions shows that the other party is either a friendly force with great powers or an enemy with sinister intentions.

"Who cares who sent it, it looks like it works." Joon said, picking up a Gauss rifle. As he spoke, he fired two rounds at a nearby rock, and he hastily flipped through the instructions for his weapons. I didn't see any difficulties, so I tried it so eagerly. Outcome. The power of this gun's bullet was beyond his imagination, and it directly penetrated the half-meter-thick stone!

"Wow, we are definitely blessed by angels, I think I am in love with this gun......" He was very surprised to see that the Gauss rifle in his hand had such a strong penetrating ability, and it seemed that he almost took off his helmet and kissed this gun a few times.

"Don't be too happy. We don't know where the weapons came from or if they're safe......," Captain Carter reminded, as he and his teammates began to search for nearby traces.

It didn't take long for them to spot a set of unfamiliar footprints not far from the scene. According to the direction and depth of the back and forth footprint. They determined that the person who left the footprints was the one who gave them the boxes of weapons.

It was clear that it was the footprints of a whole team, at least 3 people (actually 5). They came with the boxes on their backs, placed them where they had finally found them, and retreated almost the same way back to a bare, untraceable hillside after a rough cleanup of the site.

"George, what do you think?" Captain Carter asked No. 5 George next to him after looking at the traces of the scene. George was a Phase 2 Spartan warrior with full training in traceology, and none of them were more professional in surveying the scene than this big man.

"Well, they're not Sparta, that's for sure. Also, I'm pretty sure these shoe prints don't belong to any UNSC combat unit or Covenant unit. I think we might be running into rebels......" George said after reading it and taking a closer look at the few traces left at the scene.

"Here, friendly rebels? How so? Captain Carter couldn't believe George's reasoning, he had fought the rebels in his early years. In his opinion, those who opposed the UNSC at every turn, preached division, wreaked havoc everywhere, and occasionally played the role of interstellar pirates after the outbreak of the war between the Covenant and humanity were a bunch of pure terrorists.

These guys usually don't hesitate to attack and loot small units of the UNSC when they see them, and the person who left them with several large boxes of arms gifts is clearly not the same as he has the impression of the rebels. Therefore, he very much doubted that George had misjudged the scene.

"Look at the depth of these footprints, Captain. I've never seen any of these shoe prints, but they're definitely wearing some kind of exoskeleton that we don't know yet, and even the footprints they left behind were much deeper than the footprints of an average soldier's weight. Considering that they came with boxes on their backs, they probably didn't have too many arms with them at the same time. ”

"Look at the size of these footprints, they are larger than the average person, but the height of these people should not be particularly tall, the highest should not exceed 2 meters, otherwise the footprints should be larger, combined with the depth of the footprints they left, their exoskeleton should not be as heavy as ours, and the heaviest person should only be a little more than half of my current weight with human equipment......" George carefully explained his reasoning.

Through Guò's observation and analysis of the small footprints left by Team 102, he was able to fairly accurately restore the height and body shape of the guys who were in charge of the delivery just now in Team 102, as well as the approximate weight of the armor on their bodies.

In fact, just a few months ago, the members of the expedition team would have increased their weight several times after wearing the armored version of the nanosuit, reaching 350 to 500 kilograms. However, after several technical improvements and nanosuit upgrades, the weight of their clothing has been greatly reduced, to less than 120 kilograms.

In this case, depending on the size of the individual and the amount of equipment carried, the weight of the person wearing the armored version of the nanosuit and the commonly used carrying equipment are generally between 200 and 280 kilograms, which is nearly half of the weight.

That's why George could see at a glance that the person who came was definitely not a Spartan warrior. Because whether it is a second-phase warrior like him or his current group of third-phase teammates, the weight of the power armor on his body is very large.

He himself has 600 kilograms of equipment, and although the armor of the other members of the Noble team is not as good as his, the lightest is around 300 kilograms, and even Kate, the only female among them, weighs 300 kilograms, which is not the same as the footprints they see now.

If you have to find some intermediate class between ordinary infantry and Spartans, then ODST is the one that best fits this characteristic. Although ODST is equipped with a lightweight power exoskeleton, it cannot be compared with the Spartan warriors in terms of strength, protection or other aspects.

However, their exoskeleton is the most produced and the most improved model. Strictly speaking, the power armor equipped by the Spartans in Phase 3 is an upgraded version of ODST's power armor.

Although the actual difference between these two power exoskeletons is still very large, in comparison, it is almost as big as the difference between Type 59 and Type 96 in the tank family, and it is not a level at all. But there is no doubt that there is a kinship between them.

In George's opinion, the most likely thing about these faceless mysterious well-wishers they met was that they were equipped with some kind of improved, strengthened, and heavier ODST exoskeleton, which is why they showed strange footprints and the weight of the middle type of human exoskeleton.

Of the known forces that may be equipped with this modified ODST exoskeleton, it is only possible for captured rebels to help them without trying to avoid showing up to see them. All the other forces are all friendly units, and it is impossible to find them and leave without saying hello.

While they were discussing who had left the footprints, on a mountainside in the distance, the members of Team 102 were in the stealth mode of their nanosuits, observing the reaction of Team Noble after receiving their gifts. (To be continued......)
