Chapter 69: Delusion

The chariot troops did not stop to rest for dozens of hours, and defeated six waves of beasts along the way. The excellent quality of the Federation vehicles is unmistakable, and after a long run and fierce battles, only one of them suffered mechanical problems and was abandoned halfway.

The mysterious man was sitting on the roof of the chariot at the moment, holding his personal terminal, flipping through the report he had just received.

This is the latest assessment report on the agents of the Special Operations Service, which was specially sent by the base in three high-speed combat vehicles. In the special environment of Planet Four, most of the means of long-range wireless communication are ineffective. Moreover, flying here is equivalent to sending people to death, so the means of communication have become the most primitive means of teleportation by car.

The report details all of the modes of action available to junior agents when they rely solely on emergency survival kits, and simulates multiple scenarios of planetary survival, combined with the traces left on the scene, and concludes that the most powerful weapon of the two agents should be the survival rifle, and the ammunition stock is very limited. At present, it is possible for them to use a simplified version of the biomass rifle, which is not as powerful as a survival rifle in terms of overall power.

The two agents should have been attacked by the herd many times, but the size of the herd is limited, and at the limit they can handle no more than a hundred beast attacks. In mixed mode, the number of herds should be no more than 50, and in the case of giant rhinos, no more than 30.

On a comprehensive assessment, two agents should be equivalent to 15 elite warriors of the Tang Dynasty. However, given the level of equipment, it should only be equivalent to 10 fighters of the standard loadout.

Last line: This report has 99.76% confidence.

The mystery man looked back at the 12 armored combat vehicles that were still in the queue, and then at the three new high-speed combat vehicles that had been added to the back. Although high-speed vehicles sacrifice armor and firepower for speed, and their combat power is average, no matter how ordinary a tank is, it is better than a person who only wears battle armor.

The chariot swarmed at a speed of more than 60 kilometers, and the chariot under the mysterious man's seat shot several pale red beams of light, constantly sweeping around. Where the pale red beam shines, the two lines of wheel prints become clearly visible.

After chasing for a while, the mysterious man suddenly got up and raised his right hand.

The entire chariot group immediately slowed down and slowly stopped.

At the edge of the forest ahead, it was clear that there was a trace of a camp.

The mystery man jumped out of the chariot and led a group of warriors to the camp. He carried the sniper rifle behind his back, had no intention of fighting, and did not care if someone had secretly aimed at him in the forest. The officer next to him reminded him several times, but he didn't care at all, and in the end the officer had to carry the shield and follow the whole process.

The mysterious man walked around the camp, then crouched down, dug through the soil covering the ground, looked at the buried pipelines underneath, then got up, looked at the surrounding traces, and ordered, "Dig out all the buried pipelines." ”

"My lord, aren't we going to chase after us?"

The mysterious man said coldly: "What's the hurry, where can they run at such a slow speed?" Find out all the pipelines!"

The order was given, and the Federation soldiers could only dig three feet into the ground and find all the buried pipelines.

"Where does the energy come from? How many device interfaces are there?"

One of the fighters replied, "According to the direction of the energy source, it should be taken from the mobile base." There are four device interfaces. ”

"Four ......," the mysterious man muttered.

The researcher next to him said: "The workbench, the refining furnace, the mechanism detector, and the organic matter separator, exactly four. It seems that they are quite primitive in their development!"

The mystery man slowed, "Don't forget, there may also be a crafting table on the mobile base. ”

"Your Excellency is well planned!" the researcher hurriedly patted his horse.

The mysterious man snorted, noncommittal, and said, "They have limited production capacity, and most of it should be used for the construction of mobile bases, which seems to be for refueling." Although I don't know what fuel they used to be able to run so far, it doesn't matter, I'll know when I catch up with them later. ”

The mystery man raised his voice, "Get on the bus, go!"

He returned to the chariot, still sitting on the roof of the chariot, and led the chariot group to continue the pursuit.

An hour later, the field of view was still empty.

At this moment, the officer's voice sounded in the communication channel: "My lord, we need to send a car back to the base to report." ”

"Send two. ”

"Adult ......"

"What else?" the mysterious man looked impatient.

"We've gone far beyond what we expected, and now we're running to the limit of energy. At most, you can only chase another 30 kilometers, and if you do more, there will not be enough energy to return to the base. ”

The mysterious man snorted and said coldly: "How far can you drive, can't you just throw the car away if you can't drive back?"

"My lord, if you abandon the chariot for no reason, I'm afraid the two generals will be unhappy. Every piece of material we have here has been brought in at great cost. Also, on this hellish planet, our warriors can't go far without chariots. ”

The officer spoke tactfully, and the mysterious man naturally understood the meaning.

He was visibly upset, but he didn't have a seizure. Planetary-class armored fighting vehicles are not just weapons, but also a complete set of life-sustaining devices. Without the loss of armored combat vehicles, the soldiers could only walk on foot, and in a dangerous environment, the distance they could travel can be imagined. Letting them walk back to the base on their own is tantamount to making them kill themselves.

No matter how arrogant the mystery man is, he knows that he can't give such an order. Even if it is down, the fighters will also refuse.

He said coldly: "In this case, then I will continue the pursuit with the high-speed chariot, and the rest of the chariots will be on standby here to transfer the excess fuel to the high-speed chariot." ”

"My lord, will the troops be a little thinner?"

"5 high-speed personnel carriers and 30 elite soldiers, if they can't deal with the empty-handed junior agents, wouldn't it mean that the 30 soldiers of the most elite troops of the Federation can't beat the 15 underequipped Shengtang warriors?"

"That's not what the subordinates meant. The officer hurriedly apologized.

"Are you worried about my safety?" asked the mysterious man with a smirk.

"No, no, don't dare!" the officer didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly completed the deployment of fuel and soldiers, and finally all the high-speed combat vehicles were assembled, and a dozen soldiers had also changed vehicles.

Five high-speed tanks quickly moved away, while the rest camped in place, waiting for the results, while two tanks were sent back to the base to report on the situation.

On the Pilot's mobile base, Lin Xi slowly reduced his speed and set his speed at 15 kilometers per hour.

"Jungui, is it useful for us to do this?"

"Try it. Chu Jungui stood on the roof of the car, looked backwards, and replied: "Let's hurry up and slow down, they should be able to catch up." Anyway, sooner or later there will be a fight, so it's better to slow down and give them an illusion. ”

"What about the Horizon base, and will our setup be useful?"

"As long as the opposing commander is careful enough, he should be able to extrapolate the amount of equipment we have based on the pipelines we have left. In that case, they will misjudge our firepower and the amount of ammunition. ”

Lin Xi shook his head and said, "How did you come up with it?"

"In the ancient period of the home planet, there was a plan to reduce the focus. ”

"It's the 35th century......"

"As long as it works. Chu Jungui does not hide his pragmatist style at all.
