Chapter 10 Enemy Attack
"The left wing confirms safety."
"Confirm safety right in front of you."
"The right wing confirms safety."
Ling An gradually relaxed as he heard the public broadcasts of various teams ahead from his headphones.
Their third team is still in the middle of the team, and the most periphery of the reconnaissance is still handed over to the previous teams.
Since [Owl] retreated according to the route he came, there were buried detectors along the way, which greatly helped confirm the route safety, so the entire team is currently in a 150-meter-long contraction state.
Ling An has always been worried that the enemy would chase him. After all, this is in the Red Fog area, but the result is somewhat unexpected.
Are the demons so uneasy about their territory? If it were humans, if you dare to come in, you would have to be prepared to not be able to leave.
After walking forward for another hour, Jiang Muye ordered a ten-minute rest on site. Each unit replenishes energy on its own.
"Come on, come on, eat something." Cheng Yi walked over with a small box and handed Ling An something like an egg white stick.
This is not a protein rod. Although the engine warrior can use the engine to decompose g matter to supply the energy required by the body, many trace elements necessary for the human body cannot be easily obtained. This special energy rod helps the engine warriors replenish trace elements and can also help the body quickly recover energy.
Of course, it also makes something in your stomach.
"Thank you, old man." Ling An took it and thanked Cheng Yi.
"You're welcome." Cheng Yi smiled and ran towards Zon quickly.
With the squad's spacing of 150 meters, everyone in the third team was in their field of vision. Ling An looked at Cheng Yi's back and always felt that Cheng Yi's expression was a little strange just now. Was he scared? Or was he a little nervous, or was he a little confused because he was about to go back so soon?
Ling An scratched his head, tore open the energy bar, and ate the pot of water on his waist in a few bites.
It was his first time to eat after he had been out for so long.
After drinking two sips of water, Ling An rolled his throat and then covered the lid.
In this battlefield behind enemy lines, unless a water source is found, there is no way to replenish water. The bearing capacity of [Harvested King Kong] is also limited. A person only has five pots of water.
To be honest, Ling An felt it was a bit difficult to adapt to just a little supply in the Red Mist Zone for more than a month. Fortunately, if everything goes well, he would be able to rush out of the Red Mist Zone and return to the area controlled by humans tomorrow morning.
Of course, that was when we continued to move forward at night.
Look at the sky, it's getting late. I guess in another hour, the sun will set, and the view of the red fog area at night will be lower. Will the captain order a night to rest?
"All units should pay attention and keep moving forward. One hour later, camping in the Heiger Mountains." Sure enough, Jiang Muye's instructions came from the communicator.
It seems that the captain also feels that the risk of resting at night is too high, and if he continues, the detectors he set up before will end.
[Owl] Continue for an hour and only encounters a small alien patrol force along the way. After successfully bypassing, they are about to leave the vicinity of the Talsis Plateau and enter the Heiger Mountains.
The Heiger Mountain Terrain is more complex than the Talsis Plateau, which has both advantages and disadvantages for the [Owl] who are eager to leave the Red Fog Zone.
The advantage is that complex terrain is easier to use and it is easier to get rid of possible pursuits. The disadvantage is that the steep and rugged terrain will also slow down their progress.
"After entering the Heiger Mountains, you should have to camp." Ling An looked up and saw that the sun was no longer visible, leaving only some light scattered by the red fog, making the entire environment look extremely strange. "All units pay attention and start to shrink the formation. We are about to enter the Heiger Mountains."
With a command, the [Owl] teams quickly gathered together.
"Lao Cheng, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Gu saw something wrong with him next to Cheng Yi.
"I don't know, I'm just a little nervous. You go first." Cheng Yi shook his head.
"What are you afraid of? We are both old and old. Don't show jokes to you guys." Zhao Gu patted him and continued walking forward.
When Ling An saw this, he walked over in confusion and patted Cheng Yi on the shoulder.
"Brother Cheng, are you really okay? Are you overreacting to the Red Fog?"
Cheng Yi is a good person and has helped him a lot, and Ling An doesn't want something to happen to him.
Indeed, some people who have excessive reactions to the Red Fog are easily nervous and anxious. Although they have physical examinations when entering the Fifth Legion, there is also the possibility of misinformation.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little nervous. I didn't expect that the first mission would end in this way." Cheng Yi replied to Ling An with a grateful smile.
"It's fine."
Cheng Yi’s incident was just a small episode. [Owl] soon found a camp suitable for camping in the Heiger Mountains.
The mecha half-squatted down, and several team members pulled out optical camouflage cloths and covered them outside, making this place a small blind spot in the field of vision.
"The first and second teams go out to stand guard, and the third and fourth teams are ready to rotate, and they rotate every two hours. The rest of the people will rest and recover."
When the order was issued, everyone quickly moved.
The purpose of camping is to have better rest so as to maintain the necessary energy.
Ling An found a piece of open space, not too far from Matt, not far away was a huge [King of Weights].
At this moment, several indirect combatants also came out of the mecha for some breathing, and Ling An noticed a veteran who walked out of [Hawkeye].
His temperament is somewhat similar to Yumi, and he has the unique feeling of a sniper. Ling An remembers that his name is Ferguson.
Turning his head and seeing that Sister Lina from the fourth team came to harass her again... Ah no, she was communicating with Zorn.
Ling An smiled and sat down cross-legged, and suddenly saw the captain of the fourth team lit a cigarette.
"Can you still smoke while performing a mission?" Ling An was speechless, but seeing that neither Jiang Muye nor other team leader had any expressions about this, one of them laughed and asked if the big guy had any more.
"While going, I'm going there, I'm only left with this one, I'll buy it myself." The big man pushed the captain of the seventh team away without hesitation.
Only then did Ling An notice that the smoke he smoked was extremely small and it was actually red. In this red fog area, there was no difference.
I remembered that I had bought a pack and kept it in the dormitory and never smoked it.
"Do you feel relaxed?" On the side, Matt was here for some time.
"Well, it feels good to take a break from your busy schedule and relax for a while." Ling An answered truthfully.
"Well..." Matt looked at the laughing warriors, his eyes suddenly became a little confused.
"When will this short rest make us so happy?"
Matt's sudden question made Ling An choke. Thinking about it carefully, it was true. When the conditions were difficult, it would be difficult to get a moment of peace.
"Work hard, I hope you can take everyone home one day." Matt patted Ling An on the shoulder, and clearly said words of encouragement, but he revealed a sense of powerlessness.
Ling An was a little surprised, but Matt had already walked away, sat aside, closed his eyes and rested.
What does he mean? Did he feel it?
In fact, Matt is already very good, but as soon as he thinks that he has not explained the failure to make a breakthrough, Ling An feels a thorn in his heart.
This thorn may gradually be forgotten over time, but it will remain until it is given an explanation that satisfies him.
Without thinking too much, Ling An also began to close his eyes and rest, while using the Zhoutian Art to restore his energy and mental power.
Time passed quickly, it was completely dark, and it was the third and fourth teams on guard.
"Brother Zon, brother Ling An, sister is afraid of the darkness. Don't be too far away from me..." Lina giggled.
"Don't worry, Sister Lina, it's enough for me to protect you." Zon patted his chest, although he couldn't even beat Lina.
But standing guard is not a fight.
Ling An shook his head and put on the night vision device at night. In the dark, this kind of thing is particularly useful, and his vision suddenly became much larger. Unfortunately, he could not see those aliens with stealth ability.
The group stood outside the camp, found a hidden place, and kept paying attention to the surrounding winds and movements.
Matt and the two team leaders, one lying behind a tall red fog area plant, and the other just stood beside the stone. Without looking carefully, he thought it was a red fog area tree.
Although the process of standing guard is boring, the Zhoutian Jue cannot be practiced outside the camp to prevent the energy fluctuations from being detected by the enemy without a shielding device.
The red fog area at night seems particularly quiet, not much different from the night in the mountainous areas on the earth. The only difference is that the red fog area looks a bit weird and hideous.
There are still ten minutes left before the change of duty.
This period of time is the easiest to be careless. Ling An cheered up, afraid that something bad would happen.
The right eye is slightly hot, which is not a good sign.
Ling An hadn't had a strange dream for a long time, and no repeated effective signs appeared, but he did not feel that the strange things in him had disappeared. He probably existed in another way that he had not discovered.
Fortunately, nothing happened until the end of the guard time.
"Three and Four teams have changed shifts."
The sounds of team 5 and team 6 were heard from the headphones. Soon, the [Owl] team members who took over them touched behind them, patted their shoulders, and signaled that they could go back and rest next.
"Ah~ I can finally rest. Although there is no need to fight on guard, it can easily make people mentally exhausted." Zorn stretched beside Ling An and looked back.
Not far away, the fourth team where Lina was located slowly followed behind. Seeing Zon turn around, Lina smiled and waved her hand, but because it was a night when she couldn't see her fingers, Ling An and others could only see them through the night vision.
"Look, Brother Cheng, why are you nervous? It's not very safe here..." Zon yawned and patted Cheng Yi who didn't say a word.
But before he could finish his words, a violent roar came from behind.
Everyone in the third team was shocked and immediately turned around and looked in the direction where the explosion came.
That was where they just stood guard!
"There is a situation! Kayson notified the camp, everyone else, come with me!" Matt immediately reacted, and the fourth team closer to them rushed back like crazy.
"Enemy attack!" A shrill shout came from the fifth team's position. Then, in less than ten seconds, the entire camp started to move.
Chapter completed!
