Chapter 72. Peacemaker
Three days passed quickly, and at eleven o'clock in the evening of the same day, Rhode Island received a notice from Rhine Life that they would conduct a reconnaissance of the outskirts of the Old Town in four hours, when ground and air units were in action.
Zhou Jinru came to the temporary command room with red eyes, and Amiya was communicating with several equipment department operators.
"Doctor, we still have two medical equipment that have entered the dream realm that have not been installed so far, and there are a total of six that can be put into use at present, according to the progress of the reconnaissance, there should be no need to enter the dream realm in advance, after all, the source stone energy tower that Xinxi Tower is responsible for hauling is still being debugged."
"Map."
With a wave of his hand, a large map was projected onto the opposite wall, with clarity accurate to every street, and even zoomed in to get a closer look.
A dark red oval covers the middle part of the old town, with the edges constantly floating and faintly expanding.
Immediately after that, a circle smaller appears as a dotted line.
"As a rough estimate, the expansion rate of the Great Hollow is slower than we expected, and the reconnaissance range can be expanded accordingly, the only thing we need to worry about is how strong those monsters in the old city are now."
If Rhine Life brought so many advanced weapons and equipment if they were not opponents, then Zhou Jinru felt that he was not enough to fill this point, and it was Kelsey who boosted his confidence, as well as a year of unemployed vagrants.
The lynx apparently had no intention of leaving, and she acquiesced to Amiya's plan, which proved to be feasible.
As for the year......
Zhou Jinru still can't figure out what she's here for.
When the operators of the equipment department left, the atmosphere in the temporary command room was almost frozen, and Amiya's little face wrinkled, and she felt sorry for herself: "Doctor, I obviously made a lot of preparations before the start, personnel arrangements, material supplies, and communication with friendly forces, but when the battle started, it was still a mess, can I really do it?" ”
"Of course you can, you're our leader, and everybody is watching you."
Zhou Jinru tried to calm the restless rabbit, and he described it vividly: "Do you recall that before we came to Xinxi Tower, the whole ship speech you gave was very inspiring to the operators, do you want to come again?" ”
The doctor reached out and took the microphone and placed it in front of Amiya, but the little rabbit's hand held the microphone, shook his head with a red face, and whispered, "Don't ......"
"In times of war, the speech of a leader can bring courage and hope."
Slowly taking Amiya's hand away, Zhou Jinru turned on the microphone, stretched his fingers, and the harsh volume gradually disappeared, signaling that it was time for the rabbit to start.
The leader of Rhode Island gave him a strange look, and opened his mouth to say the first sentence of his speech:
"Good evening, Operators, I'm Amiya......"
Except for a slight tremor in her voice at first, her state gradually stabilized, her emotions were excited, and her tone was sincere, not like self-doubt.
Zhou Jinru watched with satisfaction as the Carters girl changed from unfamiliar to proficient, she was born like this, and she couldn't lack the hard work of the day after tomorrow, if she was a person who retreated when she encountered something, it was absolutely impossible to sit in today's position.
And Kelsey wouldn't allow the leader of Rhode Island to be a weak man.
At the end of the speech, there was a long and warm applause outside the conductor's room, and Amiya's face was flushed, and she looked at Zhou Jinru as if she were inquiring.
The doctor gave a thumbs up, smiling.
The rabbit tried to calm down, pressing its little hands on its chest, but its long ears were straighter than usual.
……
"That applause sounds so good, that rabbit in Rhode Island is better than you think, if I hadn't known about it beforehand, I would have thought she was a puppet you pushed out."
"Atos, your mouth is still as broken as before, Amiya is our leader, what questions do you have?"
Kelsey stared at the silver fox lying on the hospital bed, after a few days of recuperation, her state was much better than that day, at least her face was not ugly.
The silver fox snorted: "You came to me, what do you want to know?" ”
"How did the Great Hollow explode?"
Kelsey's words seemed to step on her tail, and Silver Fox vehemently denied it: "I don't know! On the day of our action, we didn't know what a big hole was! ”
"You didn't make it, but there is a connection with your actions, don't you deny it?"
The silver fox's expression froze, and he asked rhetorically, "What are your guesses?" ”
"An accident, I can only doubt it, after all, ......" Kelsey looked out the car window, facing the sea, her gaze was extremely deep, and said softly, "This was once a place where the gods of the world burst out against those unknowable beings. ”
After a long time, the silver fox's gauze face showed a little wry smile, opened his mouth, and only said a helpless word: "Kelsey, I remember you said that he absorbed your power, right, no wonder you didn't cause more trouble." ”
"The question is back to the original point, we were all directly illuminated by the power of the gods in the world, why is he the only one who can be safe and sound, and all the divine power has been absorbed, is it because he is the defender of the closest serial number to 001?"
As the silver fox spoke, he suddenly understood something: "No wonder you want to stay here with me, the area around the old city is very weak and can't withstand your strength, you are afraid of causing a bigger hole!" ”
"Yes, but only half right, because we don't have another chance."
……
When the operatives of Rhine Life brought the "Peacemaker" more than three meters high, more than ten meters long, and more than five meters wide, those who had not seen it were shocked by its cold and fierce appearance.
Powered by two thick tracks and equipped with multiple tactical turrets, it is so powerful that it can destroy several queues of cavalry, and the number of weapons alone makes it a war machine built to kill.
In this operation, Rhine Life dispatched a total of three peace messengers, which can be described as wealthy.
"I can't tell you the exact stats of this big guy, but it's one thing to say is one of our biggest achievements in recent years, and I love it, at least it's safer and more powerful than Victoria's steam mech."
Doberman, who was in charge of docking with the Rhine life, held his breath and slowly approached the Peacemaker, and after receiving permission, his fingers lightly touched its outer armor, and the metallic touch could be felt through the glove.
She had a gut feeling that the speed of this thing was going to be the Achilles' heel, because it was so big and too heavy that the tracks could easily crush the road, and it was definitely the enemy of the road.
Like Casimir's heavy cavalry, heavy armor provides excellent defense, but also limits their mobility and flexibility.
