Xingyue, which was originally planned to be completed in two days, could not be completed as scheduled. Ji Xinghe, who was supposed to build a mecha by himself, came to the combat area of Base 6 for various reasons, and was idle for various reasons.

There are 62 mecha warriors like him, but the number of mecha available at base six at this time is only 31, and there are 33 just now.

Instructor Li, who was sitting next to Ji Xinghe, sat upright, and looked at a corner of the big screen in front of him with a serious expression, this is the standby area of the No. 6 base combat area, and the holographic projection screen shows the picture of the command center, and there is an observable picture of the periphery of the base, but at this time, the peripheral picture is full of dust storms, and it is not clear to see anything.

The information that Instructor Li was concerned about at this time was a radar-like picture in the corner of the large screen, and there were 21 green points of light in the circular area, representing the 21 mechs and 21 mecha soldiers who had left the base, and they were grouped out outside the base for reconnaissance.

There are still 63 mecha fighters left in the base (including Ji Xinghe and Instructor Li), but there are only ten mechs left. In terms of quantity, Ji Xinghe could go back to build his Xingyue, but he had to stay in case he needed it, because the mecha could be repaired quickly if it was broken, and the mecha warrior was injured but couldn't complete the treatment quickly, if he died, he ......

The green dots of light on the minimap kept flashing, because the communication signal would be suddenly interrupted due to the dust storm, and some did not even reappear for several minutes after disappearing, which made Instructor Li worried. finally reappeared, but suddenly disappeared within two minutes, which made Instructor Li's mood more and more agitated, and he couldn't help but stand up.

Ji Xinghe, who was sitting like a bell, looked at Instructor Li but didn't say anything, young people rarely can endure their temperament, although Instructor Li is in his early forties, he is indeed a young man in front of Ji Xinghe.

"Lao Ji, you come out with me."

Instructor Li shouted and left the standby area directly, and Ji Xinghe got up to follow. Outside is a short passage, and across the passage, you will come to the armor-piercing area, where the remaining ten mechs in the base are all standing, the cockpit doors are all open, and some mechanics are doing the inspection work that has been repeated many times.

Instructor Li stood at the exit of the passage and looked at the ten mechas, and said anxiously: "How did they come here, even if there is a dust storm, it is impossible to break through our blockade line so easily, aren't they afraid of being attacked on their backs?" ”

There are three kinds of blockade lines of the Federation on alien planets, one is a warning blockade line on the periphery of the military region, which can also be said to be a sentry post. One is a false blockade line with no silver 300 taels here, which is used to interfere with the Empire's detection of the specific location of the federal military districts, bases, and mining areas. The last is a real-life blockade, which protects the Federation's demilitarized areas on alien planets, such as bases and mines.

Under strict guards, it is difficult for Imperial mechs to appear near the Federation base, so even if there is a dust storm, the mechs left behind in Base Six have only been increased to 36, but now they have appeared.

The cause is unknown, the method is unknown, the quantity is unknown.

Ji Xinghe did not respond.

"Boss, I haven't been to the battlefield for too long, and this situation is the first time I've encountered it, so I'm very nervous now. But I can't show that nervousness in front of them, that would make them more nervous. Instructor Li explained and then said: "You are different, your mentality is very good, and you shouldn't need to go out this time." ”

Ji Xinghe nodded, still didn't say anything. Instructor Li didn't really need an answer, he just wanted someone to talk to.

"It's really strange, the last time the Imperial mecha appeared in the Grand Canyon, it was very strange, and when I went to investigate the situation and dragged back the three Imperial mechs, I didn't find anything abnormal. The empire has no follow-up support, just like the three imperial mechs don't exist, and they have already lost contact when they strayed into the canyon. ”

"This time the situation is even stranger, the Empire has no reason to know that our base is near here, and their exploration is very purposeful. I watched the video of the mech fighting, and they actually gave me a feeling of fear of death, and I just wanted to leave with my life, but I was still left behind by our fighters. ”

"Speaking of which, I heard that your Xingyue is going to use the engine and nuclear fuel cell of the Imperial Mecha, okay? If you want me to say, your battlefield harvest might as well sell your contribution points, save up and buy our Federation's mecha engine directly, it must be better than the engine performance of those three Imperial mechas. ”

"We've already sacrificed three mechfighters, and they're all soldiers I brought out, and I'm sad, but I can't tell anyone else. I don't really want them to go out, maybe I don't have to stop the Imperial Mechs and I can't find our specific location, and if I find them, I'll run away in the dust storm by myself, but I can't stop them from getting out. ”

"I told Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun that I can drive the mecha out, after all, I am the most powerful instructor in Base No. 6, and they are still young and have a chance to grow, and they are not as good as me. But Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun didn't let me go out, because my current function was not to fight, and I became an instructor. Lao Ji, sometimes I really envy you. ”

"That time you went to Base No. 3, I asked Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun afterwards, and he said that he was ready to deny the lottery results on the grounds that you could distinguish the different colors of the metal balls according to Second Lieutenant Shen Mu. As a result, you did it directly if you didn't agree with each other, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun was afraid that you would break their legs, and I was also afraid, so I had to let you go. I also want to use a similar method to pierce armor and fight, but I can't, I'm a professional soldier, I have to obey orders. I really want to smoke a cigarette......"

Instructor Li's chatter was listened to, but his wish was destined to be fulfilled by no one, because there was no smoke on the alien planet.

"Let's go back, Lao Ji, thank you."

"Yes."

The two returned to the standby area and sat down, continuing to stare at the various information displayed on the large screen.

The standby mechwarrior suddenly stood up.

"Report to the instructor."

"Say."

"I want to go to the bathroom."

"Go."

Going to the toilet is a trivial matter, but also a trouble, they are ready to wear armor and fight, everyone has already put on protective clothing, this kind of protective clothing for mecha warriors is much lighter than the bulky spacesuit, but it is not easy to wear. The time on standby can be long or short, and the mecha warriors who need to maintain their physical condition at all times are actually not at all leisurely, they have to eat, drink, move their bodies and even rest in the standby area on time, and sleep if they can't sleep.

"Lin Lidong."

"Here."

"Armor-piercing."

"Yes."

Someone received an order to trot away.

"Zhang Qian."

"Here."

"Armor-piercing."

"Yes."

"Su Chuanyun, armor-piercing."

"Tom Hess, armor-piercing."

"Andrey, armor-piercing."

There are not only Longzhou people in the No. 6 base, but also Yingzhou people and Xiongzhou people...... One after another mech warriors left the standby area and left the base, but none of them were able to return to the standby area, and not all the mechs they piloted could be transported back for repair in the first place.

When there were only four intact mechs left inside Base No. 6, and there were only twenty green light spots on the periphery of the base that represented the intact mechas, Ji Xinghe still couldn't hear his name, so he got up when Instructor Li received the order to arrange for others to wear armor, and his tone was calm but unquestionable.

"I'll come."

This old man, he is going to disobey the military order again, Instructor Li subconsciously wanted to reprimand angrily but saw Ji Xinghe's eyes.

"Ji Xinghe."

"Here."

"Armor-piercing."

"Yes."
