Machine Lion Roar
Chapter 291 The White Shadow of the Jungle
"Crack!! Rumble..."
The lightning of the mad dragon danced quickly across the black cloud.While the flashing lightning tore away the darkness that enveloped the rainforest, it also illuminated Norris' dignified face clearly.
"Colonel. What are you worried about?"
With the heavy rain, Massad, who ran back from the nearby battle tent, had not had time to wipe the rain off his hat, before he was seen the solemn face of Norris.
"Massad. What's the situation with sonar?"
Norris did not answer Massad's question, but moved the same solemn gaze, looked at Massad, and slowly asked.
Massad froze for a moment, then took off his hat that had been wet by the rain, and sighed secretly.
"The situation is not very good. The strong electromagnetic field brought by the thundercloud weather and the heavy rain have reduced the effect of sonar to almost unusable. Now, our external monitoring means are only arranged around this hidden stronghold. The secret whistle."
Norris nodded slowly, but said nothing.However, looking back at the black clouds that pressed against the sky, and there were waves of lightning flashing across the sky.
Seeing the dark clouds covering the world, Norris knew that this downpour might not end in a short time.
"Massad. Does Major General Kinhas have any instructions?"
Masad pondered for a moment, then said:
"Yes! Colonel. The major general has instructions, but he still wants us to stay at this stronghold until reinforcements arrive."
"Reinforcement? Under this ghostly weather, send reinforcements over?" Norris's mouth twitched again and again, but in the end he resisted the idea of yelling.
The spooky weather in front of me not only paralyzed the sonar equipment, but also made the usually muddy roads of this tropical rain forest even more impossible to walk.
The huge humanoid mobile suit has lost the ability to walk in the rain forest in this heavy rain.If you risk marching forcibly in this heavy rain covering the world, it is quite common to stray into the swamp.The most fearful thing is to encounter the Federal Army, which exposes this hidden stronghold.
"Masad."
"Yes!"
Massad, who was carefully watching the changes in Norris's expression, responded as soon as Norris spoke.
"Can you confirm the situation of the surrounding secret whistle?"
"can!"
Massad quickly packed up tickets.
"To be on the safe side, most of the things we are deploying secret posts are wired communication. As long as we activate the corresponding contact lines, we will be able to contact the surrounding secret posts as soon as possible."
"Is there a wired connection? Haha. Well done! Check the situation of all the secret whistles! Let them be 200% spirited." Norris nodded appreciatively, then raised his hand and waved.
"I have a hunch. This horrible weather may cause us great trouble."
Norris Bakard.
The sigh of the man who had been born and died countless times on the battlefield made Massad's heart tense subconsciously.
I am afraid that this stronghold will not be peaceful before the rainstorm ends.
"Rumble..."
In Norris' dignified gaze, a twisted, arrogant lightning flashed across the sky in an instant, slashing towards the distance.
In fact, in Norris's mind, the safety of this stronghold is not the most important.What can be more important than this stronghold is the X3 engine that Massad said.
"I hope I can get here smoothly!"
Norris sighed intently as he watched the lightning bolts flying across the sky above his head.
Under the heavy rain, even the tree canopy that was so dense that the sun could not penetrate in the past could not block the continuous rain from the top of the tree canopy.
"Tsk! What the hell is this weather? Why did it rain so much all of a sudden. This is far worse than the weather in Side2. I have never seen such a heavy rain in Side2."
One of the recruits who untied his collar and holding a small bucket in his hand kept filling up the stagnant water in the post, and then turned to the recruits who poured outside and yelled and cursed God.
"Second-class soldier. How long have you been in the army?"
Compared to the scolding recruits, the man sitting on the side with a scar on his left face looked much more common.
According to his military resume, the scarred man who was called by the recruits to be a sergeant was the first batch of veterans of the Principality of Zeon to participate in the landing operations.
For him, he has long been accustomed to the extreme weather changes in this rainforest, and he will not make a fuss like this new recruit.
"Sergeant! I am a private Zeon soldier who was ordered to land on Earth three months ago!"
Hearing the culture of Scar Man, he was holding a small bucket of water, and the recruit egg pouring the water hurriedly stood up and answered loudly.
However, it seemed that the recruit had used too much force. One accidentally kicked Lao Gao from the stagnant water pouring into the sentry post, and almost drenched the communicator on the table.
Scared man looked at the water that had fallen from the communicator on the desktop, his mouth twitched a few times, but he still shook his head helplessly.
"Private soldier, don't fall down. Take a rag and wipe it!"
"Yes!"
While the recruits were looking for rags with the water that had been flooded to their heels, the scared man suddenly found that the communicator, which had been in a silent state, suddenly turned on a red indicator.
"There is a mission."
The scarred man clicked in his heart, but before he picked up the microphone of the communicator and responded, the recruit who went to look for the rag suddenly let out a scream.
"what!!"
"What happened? Recruit!!"
Scar Man shouted loudly.
Due to the communicator, the Scarred Man could not immediately stand up to look for the recruit.
"I hope you don't make any trouble for me."
The Scar Man gritted his teeth, and finally chose the most priority option for the task.
"This is 03 Silent."
Picking up the microphone, after the Scar Man reported a code name, he silently listened to the voice coming from the other side of the microphone. After the voice stopped, the Scar Man spoke again:
"Yes! Now, everything..."
however,
Before the Scarlet Man finished, the panicked recruit rushed into this room in a splash of water.
"Wow!"
Amidst the polluted water filled with fallen leaves, a panicked recruit lay on the ground, shaking his right finger and pointing to the corridor outside.
The Scar Man frowned and shouted:
"What happened? Now, I am reporting to the rear! What are you doing? Recruit!"
"in vain···"
The scarred man's loud shout didn't make the recruits back to his senses, he still raised his finger outside in a panic, as if something terrible was approaching outside.
"White? White? New recruit! If you bother me to report the situation from the rear, let's just wait and see!"
The scarred man looked at the corridor where rain was constantly pouring into but there was no one, and after reprimanding the recruits, he turned his head and said to the microphone:
"No. It's just that the recruits are not used to the weather here. There is nothing unusual! Yes! I will be more vigilant! Yes! Understand! Then, I will hang up first!"
"despair!"
Scared man put down the communicator, stood up, and walked to the recruit's side. He reached out and grabbed his collar and picked up the recruit.
"Recruit! Although the weather here is very strange for people born on colonial satellites, you don't have to be so alarmed! If you continue to do this next time, be careful and I make you look good!!"
"No. No! There really is something!! It's white..."
Facing the threat of Scar Man, the recruits shook their heads, but the panic on his face remained.
"White? White what?! Talk nonsense again, be careful with me..."
"boom!"
Before Scar Man finished speaking, there was a sudden violent explosion on the solid concrete dome above his head, and the Scar man and the panicked recruit were swallowed in an instant.
In the next second, the huge stagnant water brought by the heavy rain rushed down from the huge mouth that had just been blown up by the explosion, and quickly submerged the hidden whistle hidden in the rainforest mixed with fallen leaves. In the muddy water of the branches.
Beside this gap, two faint arc lights turned silently for a while, and then disappeared in the heavy rain.
"The third place. Huh. I didn't expect that Kinas had arranged so many secret whistles around here. It was just a short distance of less than one kilometer, and there were three secret whistles distributed. It's really cautious."
In front of my eyes was the rain that was constantly scratching the screen, and the clattering of the icy armor was heard in my ears.
Lei Mingkai stretched out his hand and nodded on the operating keyboard, and a plan with dozens of red crosses appeared in front of him.
This is the suspected target found in the investigation just now.
However, due to the hell rainstorm in front of us, we can only take the approach of close contact to wipe out these secret posts on the must pass.
"Although it is a bit troublesome, but now I am driving Lancelot, not Gundam."
Yes.
Previously, Lei Mingkai was able to confidently take over the task of outflanking the enemy's rear with confidence, and it was Lancelot.
After Lei Mingkai came into this world, he was activated by Lancelot, who was hidden in this rainforest by the MACROSS Fairy, this tropical rainforest may no longer be a stumbling block for Lei Mingkai.
Compared with the 18-meter-high land warfare, Lancelot, which is only 4.5 meters high, will not be obstructed by this dense tropical rain forest. Even Lancelot, equipped with a light-wing system, can still stand from the canopy Fly past, straight to the destination.
However, this is not the purpose of Lei Mingkai.
"We are more than ten kilometers away from the goal, keep going!"
Lancelot, shrouded in heavy rain, put away two infrared detectors and quietly sank into the darkness.
From this moment on, Lancelot seemed to have become a dark assassin, continuously setting off waves of silent killings in this rainforest.
One,
Two,
Three,
The rumbling thunder overwhelmed the sound of the secret whistle when it was destroyed by Lancelot.
The heavy rain covering the world has become a trace that erased the existence of the secret whistle.
The only proof that they have survived is the closed communication line extending from the depths of the rainforest.
However, even if the rumbling thunder in the sky never ceased, and the heavy rain did not show signs of calm, the soldiers guarding the communicator eventually found some signs.
"Colonel. There is a situation." The cold sweat on Masad's forehead was almost the same as the rainstorm outside the door, and it kept on his cheeks.
"Say!"
The solemnity on Norris's face has not faded from the beginning.
"The secret whistle we set up on the periphery seems to have lost contact. We are now confirming the situation. But what can be confirmed is that we have lost at least ten or more secret whistles."
Upon hearing this news, a cold light flashed in Norris' eyes.
"Needless to say! I know! Now, let the notification go down. All members are ready to fight at the first level!"
After all, Norris ignored Massad's reaction, and walked out the door in a stride, facing the heavy rain towards the Zagu II where he was driving.
"Enter... Colonel."
Massad was not stupid, and under the command that Norris had already understood, Massad already knew what he should do.
"All staff are ready for battle at the first level! Enemy, here comes!"
With an order, the entire hidden stronghold moved.
The rain, the silhouettes, the headlights that were constantly lit, and the huge humanoid weapons that slowly stood up in the heavy rain became the main theme of the moment.
This movement was naturally discovered by Lei Mingkai who had sneaked nearby.
"Is it noticed?"
Under the woods, Lancelot turned on the infrared detector on his chest.
At this distance, Lancelot's infrared detector can directly observe the movement of this hidden stronghold.
Especially the astonishing heat emitted by the land-based Zaku II when it is activated. The heat seems to be like a small sun on the infrared detector, making it impossible to ignore its existence.
"One, two, three. Three Zaku IIs? Ha ha. It seems that this hidden stronghold is not too small!"
At a glance, in addition to the three brightest figures, there are more than ten figures that look like armored vehicles, and hundreds of figures running around.
Seeing the ground-type Zaku II that had already been activated and gathered together, Lei Mingkai pondered for a moment. After looking up at the rainstorm that had not subsided, he had a conclusion in his heart.
"Om!"
The high-speed spinning guide wheel pushed Lancelot into the shadow of the jungle at the moment when the high spray was raised.
"Colonel! The preparations for battle are complete! Please order!"
Putting his clothes wet by the rain aside, Norris silently watched the picture on the screen, and did not respond to Massad's request immediately.
After a while, Norris spoke the first order.
"All staff, disperse the formation, start defense around the stronghold!"
"Yes! Colonel."
Under Norris's order, the three ground-type Zaku IIs were separated, leading the accompanying armored vehicles to separate the triangle of the stronghold, firmly controlling the best attack position of the stronghold in their hands.
However, as time passed by, the enemy Norris had anticipated did not seem to show up at all.
