Chapter 514: The Little Snowman Who Knocks on the Door in the Middle of the Night
Although the New Crusader Army has not been officially adapted by Elizabeth for a long time, it has used the training methods of the federal military as early as Chen Fengxiao's army, and the most important thing that these oppressed people at the bottom of society lack is the quality of perseverance and obedience, so although the combat power is far inferior to the soldiers on the Blackstone front, and there is a gap between the garrison army that has not participated in the war for a long time, but in terms of the quality of the army and the efficiency of executing orders, it is not the same.
After the battle of this abandoned combat readiness base ended, under Chen Fengxiao's order, the strategic transfer began.
The remaining 4,000 or so Neocrusaders harvested more than 30 multi-purpose infantry vehicles and more than 10 CL3 rocket carriers that had been emptied of artillery shells from the temporary camp of the Imperial army, and then in the eyes of everyone in disbelief, the identification system of the more than 80 captured Imperial Rock Mecha was actually cracked.
Although there are not many soldiers in the New Crusader who are familiar with mechs, and even fewer pilots who are on the table, there is no big problem in driving these mechs away and forming long-range firepower.
Because the Qingxi Mountains are located in a geomagnetic anomaly area, which gave the New Crusaders a good time to escape, as the troops moved, there were still sporadic battles continuing in the mountains, and there were faint explosions in the distance.
It was a suicide attack by the disintegrating Imperial forces after they could not confirm that they could not escape.
After a long day of migration, such skirmishes became less and less common, until it finally fell silent as night fell.
The night of late autumn was extremely cold and frosty, but the soldiers of the New Crusaders did not dare to slack off, and nervously and busily carried out battlefield maintenance on those personnel carriers and mechs, and confirmed that all the faults were checked before they began to rest for the first time in more than two months after retaining a group of night patrols.
This night, finally, there were no gunshots.
After Shi Chen confirmed that there was no place to help him, he said goodnight to Chen Fengxiao and the logistics minister named Liu Xingguo, and got into his thorny mecha.
Although a temporary camp was built, there were warm military sleeping bags. But Shi Chen didn't know if he would encounter a surprise attack from the empire this night, for the sake of insurance, he rejected Chen Fengxiao's arrangement, and chose a sentry post on the periphery, so he took the mecha cockpit as a seat, once the war started, then he could join the battle as soon as possible, as long as he could die even one less, then it would be worth it.
The night was dark because the clouds obscured the starlight. At some point, the sky began to drizzle, and the rain froze into ice particles in the extremely cold mid-air, and crackled on the armored vehicles and military tents in the temporary camp, and before long, white snowflakes drifted, and the howling blizzard danced wildly in the air like countless catkins.
This is the first snow after late autumn, but it came violently.
The entire temporary campsite was gradually covered by the wind and snow that filled the sky and the earth, and also covered the traces of their walk in the Qingxi mountain forest, like a very thick layer of edelweiss blanket. Through the optical reconnaissance above, the clear structural lines and metallic light of those armored vehicles can no longer be seen, blending in with the surrounding environment, and can no longer be distinguished.
The huge mecha and armored vehicles around the camp were surrounded by a ring of valley terrain, keeping the fierce wind and snow out. The special shelter cannot fully withstand the extremely low temperatures here, and the night will be even colder, but watch this timely blizzard. Chen Fengxiao, who was standing outside the camp, and Liu Xingguo looked at each other and smiled, both seeing the happiness and comfort in each other's eyes.
This blizzard will be their best shelter. Even if it's cold, I hope it lasts a few more days.
After a simple meal, all the fighters who were not on duty got into their sleeping bags and fell asleep in the long-lost tranquility.
Shi Chen was also trying to sleep, he and Su Ye Cangna successfully broke the battle loss ratio of up to 50% in the Star Sea Battle, and both successfully arrived at the Chi Xing Qingxi battlefield, after a hard battle, it stands to reason that he should be extremely tired at this moment, but I don't know if it is because his body has been transformed by Natasha, after eating and entering the cockpit, he just felt that he had fallen asleep for a short time, and his energy and physical strength had recovered, and even the injuries on his body were the same, just like in the past two months.
It stands to reason that such a non-human ability to recover from terror should be something that everyone would envy and envy, and even many people would like to have even at a heavy cost, especially in this era of turmoil, in this tragic battlefield, these mean that it is easier to survive.
However, Shi Chen was a little uneasy, and even if it was possible, he would rather not have these abilities, because all of this made him feel that he was getting farther and farther away from a creature like a human, and gradually developing towards an inhuman alien, and he didn't want to become a monster who was rejected by everyone.
In addition, he was also worried about the war after this, he didn't know if he could let Chi Xing's war end before the arrival of the silver battleship carrying destruction, if not, Leah's backup measures could be realized, and what kind of outcome they should face.
Too much worry dispelled the last trace of his sleepiness, so his eyes were kept open, and his gaze shot out of the pair of black eyes covered by an artificial protein coating, through the light screen of the mecha, through the autumn snow fluttering in the mountains, as if he wanted to look at the thick snow clouds thousands of meters above his head, see the brilliant starry sky, and see the cruel war going on in the starry sky.
The night was so quiet that Shi Chen even began to be a little irritable, and he wanted to kill people in a hurry
Shi Chen knew that this was the journey to Earth, the sequelae or the price of gaining power from Natasha?
He could only rely on his own willpower to suppress the restlessness and throbbing in his heart, but this feeling was really difficult.
The night is long, but I don't have the heart to sleep, what should I do?
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of bells hitting the metal, as if he was knocking on the door, but this was not the dark silver villa of the capital star circle, but the mecha cockpit of the Chi Xing Battlefield, where did the knock come from.
Just when Shi Chen thought that this was his illusion, the voice sounded again.
Shi Chen finally came to his senses, and someone came to look for him.
Could it be that it is a matter of military importance? But in that case, why not through the mecha's communication system?
Who is it, Suje Thana? Chen Fengxiao, or the logistics minister Liu Xingguo?
Shi Chen controlled the mecha to hang his head, looking for the owner who 'knocked on the door' in the middle of the night, and immediately looked at it, and froze on a chubby little snowman, his mouth slightly open, as if he was a little surprised.
Naturally, the snowman couldn't knock on the door, and the person who came was none other than Ye Mengqi.
The girl directly wrapped herself in a futon to resist the invasion of wind and snow and low temperatures, but the wind and snow tonight were too big, and in just a moment, the whole body was covered in it, and from a distance, it looked like a lonely little snowman.
Xu knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, this national idol's pretty face was cold and red, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands that were a little frozen because of the knocking on the mechanical legs, and his lips were pursed, as if he was a little disappointed and wronged.
Just when she thought that Shi Chen was asleep and was about to turn around and leave, she heard the sound of the snow falling on the mecha when it lowered its head, and the two big eyes suddenly brightened, and she waved her small hands vigorously at the four mechanical eyes of the mecha with some excitement, signaling her existence.
Shi Chen looked at her clumsy and coquettish appearance, and really felt a little funny and cute.
Shaking his head with a smile, he stretched out his mechanical hand and lifted the chubby little snowman from the snow and sent it above the open mecha cockpit.
The little snowman shook the snow off her body first, and then jumped directly from it, not worrying that she would fall and hurt herself, not because she was also in good shape, but because she knew that someone below would catch her like last time.
So, the next moment, she fell into a pair of warm arms, and looked at each other quietly, her eyebrows and eyes crooked.
"What's the matter?" Shi Chen looked at her for a while, and couldn't help but stagger his gaze, because he suddenly found that after the two reunited today, the other party's eyes were very bright, and even a little scorching, making people dare not look directly. (To be continued......)
