Chapter 351: Transfer

Previous Chapter

But for a full week, Lal did not receive any instructions for the next step, except for replenishing his troops and supplies. For a time, Lal even thought that his troops had been forgotten by the above, but the equipment and supplies sent every day were an indisputable fact. The technician explained to him that the above was trying to solve the problem he had discovered, and that some of the technicians had been separated to analyze the weapons and equipment he had captured, so the progress was slow, and they had to wait here until the new equipment was available.

Ral was glad he didn't need to burrow. Street fighting was too much of a torture, and his greatest strength, the hybrid, would be too tall to be functional. Now that I think about it, I really don't know why there is a hybrid for him, and this person is not available to clean up the cramped secret facilities, maybe the only purpose is to get it to search out the heads of the captured people what they want?

Speaking of which, the poor technician who had been captured by them was directly sucked dry after the contents of his head were hollowed out by his mixture—in the true sense of the word, Isaac sucked all of his life essence, turning it into a dried corpse in a few breaths.

This inhumane tactic has kept many people away from Isaac, but this hybrid doesn't care about other people's eyes. He's here to assist Ral on his mission, and it's none of his business to ignore him or not. The captive was also buried near the hut in the arsenal, along with the other soldiers who died in the facility.

After about ten days of boring waiting, their further instructions for action finally arrived at the secluded hut. It's just that this time it was not conveyed by a technician, but from the surface. Their superior, Douglas, the commander of the 17th Separate Company, approached them with a convoy.

Considering that they could not openly travel on the surface with their own Worms, Douglas brought a convoy for them to use to carry their own Worm troops. At the same time, Douglas also told Ral, who came to greet him, that in the next operation, they would no longer act independently in platoon units, but would be reintegrated into company units. Because the losses of each platoon in the last operation were very large, it was decided that it would be better to act together as an entire independent company after reassessing the operational situation.

Upon learning of this, Ral revealed that most of his insect troops did not actually need to use vehicles as cover, as the main jumping insects could be directly optically invisible, and would be virtually undetectable unless detected with a cutting-edge sensor. They only need vehicles to carry cockroaches and stinging snakes commanded by the squad leader.

Douglas seemed to know about this for the first time, and he was surprised to hear it, but quickly nodded and said that it would be better if that was the case, at least not worrying about the size of the vehicle. He then mentions the matter of Ral's hybrid, which is too tall for even the heaviest truck to fit him, unless he steps into the truck's compartment, which will give him a separate optical camouflage device.

"Optical camouflage? It's ......"

"Equipment in the experiment." With Douglas's words, in the open space in front of the hut, with a distortion of light, a huge hybrid slowly appeared in front of everyone. A green super hybrid, twice as large as Isaac's, its psionic eyes are also green, and its appearance looks slightly the same as Isaac's, and the psionic energy on its body even escapes into the nearby space, producing bursts of green ripples. He also had a huge belt tied around his waist.

"It's like this." Douglas was pleased with their shocked expressions and said, "Your technician should be helping you assemble your hybrid right now, too." It's just a product in the experiment, and I don't know much about the specific principle, but I heard that it was made by studying the baseship of the star spirit and the combat uniform of the ghost, because it is an experimental product, and it consumes a lot of spiritual energy, so only units like the hybrid can use it. ”

“…… How many more products are in such experiments? ”

"I don't know." Douglas patted him on the shoulder, "There's no need to know, Ral. It's good to do our own thing, no matter how many, as long as it allows us to get the job done. The convoy is just outside the woods on the road and you have three hours. Let's go and get the whole team. ”

"Yes!"

It was not difficult to get the whole team together, the news of the arrival of the convoy that had come to pick them up had already spread throughout the platoon, and by the time Ral returned, most of them had already packed their things and were ready to leave. They took their own jumping worms through the only way to the surface, and the slightly larger cockroaches and stinging snakes were a little crowded through the passage and almost couldn't get up.

As for his hybrid Isaac, Ral was still worried about how to take him away, but the hybrid turned into a ball of psionic particles and disappeared in front of him after taking a look at him. By the time Ral found him, he was already waiting silently in the open space of the hut. He also wore a belt similar to Douglas's hybrid, which Ral guessed was an optical camouflage device.

To Ral's surprise, there were still some people in the car. It's the people of the A and C rows. He had expected to be the same as his platoon carrying insects equipped with the Wormwhisperer's device, but their troop style was very different from theirs. In addition to the people sitting in the car in row A, there are also some star spirits, while the car in row C is loaded with a bunch of completely strange, even strange-shaped power armor.

"You ......"

"Your car is on the other side, as instructed from above, go quickly." Douglas didn't explain much, just patted his power armor and said, "After getting into the car, take off the power armor into the compartment, don't let people see the abnormality, after all, we are still in the land of the Yumoyans." ”

"Yes!"

Lal didn't care about his doubts, and he immediately gave instructions to his own people. The men of Platoon B quickly entered the trucks assigned to them, and concentrated their power armor into two trucks, and the rest of them sat in the remaining off-road vehicles. Several squad leaders were also stuffed into the compartments of the two trucks.

"Platoon commander, what is our identity? Such a large convoy will definitely be stopped and inspected, right? After getting into the passenger seat of an off-road vehicle, Ral asked his platoon commander with a communicator.

"I will be responsible for the convoy transporting supplies to the guards when they pass through the checkpoint, you just need to be in the same caliber as me to supply the convoy, and you don't need to worry about anything else, and don't say more unnecessary words." Douglas quickly replied to his questions.

"Roger."
