Mecha and Knife

The special and complex environment on the surface of the alien planet has greatly affected human communication technology, just as there are no conventional planes on the alien planet. Therefore, it is not uncommon to lose contact. Not only individual mechas will lose contact, but sometimes even the entire team will lose contact.

It may be because of the magnetic field movement of alien stars, it may be because of various ores that can release electromagnetic waves, it may be because the atmosphere is too thin to block the electromagnetic radiation produced by solar flares... But this time the blind man's loss of contact is somewhat rare.

"The high-altitude reconnaissance satellite did not capture the traces of the imperial army, and for the time being, no imperial mechs were found in the Sanliu Canyon area. The frontline troops in the theater sent intelligent drones into the Sanliu Canyon for investigation, but the intelligent drones also lost contact. ..."

In the training area of ​​No. 6 base, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, who seldom appears here, came with more detailed mission information, and standing in front of him were three mech fighters who accepted the mission of searching and rescuing the blind man.

Although the battle is tense, there are not only three mech fighters left in the No. Protect Base Six.

"The frontline troops in the theater cannot send scouts and reconnaissance mechs, because this is likely to attract the attention of the imperial army, which will cause us unpredictable consequences. If the imperial army starts to explore the Sanliu Canyon, they may directly cross the Our blockade, found the exact location of Base 3 and our Base 6."

The Sanliu Canyon is the grand canyon that connects Base No. 3 and Base No. 6. In fact, it is not a connection in the true sense. It is just located between the two bases with a length of about 375 kilometers, which just crosses the current No. 3 Base. The war zone and the blockade between the No. 6 base and the No. 6 base.

"The empire doesn't have satellites, because the satellites they launched were all shot down by us, so they don't know the exact location of all our bases, military camps, and mines. This is one of our only advantages in this war, So I don’t want to emphasize to you how serious the consequences would be if the Imperial Army discovered the location of our two bases.”

Without satellites, there is no real global vision. Ji Xinghe, who was at the scene, knew this very well, just like his panoramic map when playing games. A federation with high-altitude reconnaissance satellites is, in a sense, like a player with a full-view plug-in, while an empire without reconnaissance satellites can only rely on unmanned intelligent reconnaissance aircraft with a short flight distance and easy to lose contact , just like ordinary players, they can only see the illuminated area on the small map. If the unmanned intelligent reconnaissance plane of the empire is destroyed and the relevant detection equipment set up is unplugged, the area they could originally see It will also return to darkness.

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun's eyes were focused on Ji Xinghe, his expression was expressionless and his tone was stern.

"From this point of view, the goal of this mission is not only to search and rescue Second Lieutenant Li Lin and his mecha, but also to find out what abnormal situation happened in the Sanliu Canyon. If there is really an imperial mecha hiding Our high-altitude reconnaissance satellite appeared in the Sanliu Canyon. This mission will not only be very dangerous, but also affect the lives of more than 75,000 people in bases No. 3 and No. 6. The safety of all the soldiers on the blockade in this area is also related to our strategic layout in the entire alien planet, and even the form of war between our Federation and the Empire."

Ji Xinghe understood why Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun said so seriously and why he looked at him, but he looked at Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun without squinting. When the medicine arrived, I suspected that he didn't understand the possible great risks of this mission.

After Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun stared at Ji Xinghe for a while, his eyes shifted to the two mecha fighters next to him. These two people are first-class mecha fighters, and one of them is a mecha fighter in charge of guarding the base. , and the other is Wang Gui.

"I hope that this mission will not have any risks. It is because of abnormal environmental interference in the Sanliu Canyon, and because Lieutenant Li Lin's mech has been damaged. The staff thinks that the probability of this non-imperial factor is 93% %, but after all, there is still a 7% possibility. And when the frontline troops cannot send troops to the Grand Canyon, we can only send two mecha fighters to carry out this mission. I hope, it is you two."

The deaf man in the distance clenched his fists tightly, but the manicured nails were embedded in the palm of his hand, a trace of blood appeared but no one noticed, he failed the re-examination, he was more hopeful than the cripple and the left-handed brother, but he still Failed, only Wang Guizhong passed the exam except for the blind man in the remnant soldier company, and Wang Gui passed the exam half an hour ago, which was the third time he had retaken the exam in more than a month.

Ji Xinghe also clenched his fists. He shouldn't have recommended himself when someone could carry out this task, but just as he didn't want the blind man to go for him at the beginning, he felt that it was his business. And he felt that he was stronger than Wang Gui and that first-level mech fighter.

"But I can't decide which two of you will go. This is not a purely combat mission, so it can't be decided based on your strength. In a sense, this is actually a mission that depends on luck. As a soldier I don't believe in luck, but a lot of times we have to. So draw lots."

Ji Xinghe loosened his clenched fists. He was not surprised that this kind of thing would be decided by lottery. He had already inquired about it when he accepted this task, just like most of the death squads in the ancient army formation. Under the circumstances, it is also decided by drawing lots. This has nothing to do with luck, but I just don't know how to choose.

Instructor Li walked over with a metal box in his arms. He was the first to walk up to Ji Xinghe and whispered: "Old Ji, I admit that your test scores are very good, even better than Wang Gui, but... this is not a joke. , Think about your granddaughter, don’t reach out, can you?”

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun standing behind frowned, but said nothing. Wang Gui and another first-level mech fighter didn't change their expressions, and they didn't want Ji Xinghe to go either.

But Ji Xinghe stretched out his hand and put it into the metal box without any hesitation, grabbed the three metal balls in it and felt it.

It is for my granddaughter, so I must go.

Ji Xinghe didn't say the words in his heart, but silently took out his right hand and unfolded it. It was a round black ball, which was almost the same as the other two balls in volume, weight, shape, and color. There is no difference, but there is a very short red line on it, which is drawn with paint.

"No, start over."

Wang Gui was the first to refuse, because the red line represented that Ji Xinghe was going.

Shen Mu in the distance hasn't seen the ball in Ji Xinghe's hands yet, but he understands what Wang Gui said, and the second one doesn't agree: "Old Ji is cheating, he is an eighth-level fitter, he can feel the three balls The difference. Really, you believe me, although it sounds unbelievable, but Lao Ji can really feel it, come back, let Lao Ji touch it last."

There are three metal balls, two represent participation in the action, and one represents non-participation. The probability of not participating in the action must be the highest if the person is touched first.

Another first-level mecha fighter also said aloud: "I think, we are all in the age of intelligence, so there is no need to be so primitive in drawing a lot, right? Let the central computer of the base draw randomly."

The central computer can be completely random, or it can be controlled by humans.

Instructor Li turned his head to look at Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun. He was the only one present who could make a decision, but Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, who was always ruthless, hesitated this time.

What Ji Xinghe is afraid of is this kind of hesitation. When he was in Azure Star more than four months ago, he also saw this kind of hesitation and rejection for various reasons, and his choice at that time was to 'use' Pei Jing. Although Su He is by his side now, Su He can't play a key role on this occasion. The difference is that Pei Jing was broadcasting live at that time, while Su He was recording.

Ji Xinghe suddenly made a sound, and the temper that was willing to be cut into pieces after his son died appeared again: "In a second, I can break both of their legs, don't force me."

Everyone was shocked. If there were no last three words, Ji Xinghe would just tell the truth, but adding the last three words...it was a threat.

Wang Gui, who had been beaten by Ji Xinghe many times, and the first-level mecha fighter who was also beaten by Ji Xinghe in the training area, naturally believed in Ji Xinghe's strength, and the two of them jumped away without hesitation and wanted to leave Ji Xinghe. The galaxy is a little farther away, but they just jumped up before they could feel the extraordinary jump height and distance in the low-gravity environment of the alien star, when they suddenly felt their necks tighten.

Ji Xinghe, who is 1.92 meters tall, stood in place holding two first-level mecha fighters, one in each hand, and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun as if he was carrying two little chickens.

"Sir, how do you choose?"
