Machine Lion Roar
Chapter 545
Above the snow-covered mountains all the year round, there are the outposts secretly arranged on the key mountain roads by the earth.
The purpose of these outposts is not to kill the invading enemy, but to use their excellent concealment and wide field of vision to spot the invading enemy as soon as possible and send an alarm to the rear.
Since the war with Zaft began, the soldiers staying in these outposts have been rotated in three batches.
Following the advice of the first three batches of predecessors before leaving, the fourth batch of soldiers who had changed defenses did not have a very good life, but they were still at ease and did not receive much pressure from higher authorities.
However, in this laid-back atmosphere, these soldiers who had been accustomed to the cold environment on the snow-capped mountains encountered something very strange.
"Hey. Tove. Have you had any fun lately?"
The early morning on the snow mountain is quiet and cold.
At this time, Charlie, the person in charge of Highland Post No. 3, would ask his subordinates to help him make a cup of hot coffee, and while drinking it, he listened to Tove, who was responsible for monitoring the surrounding situation and contacting the nearby post, to report the situation.
"Yes! Everything is normal. Except that Lieutenant Homan's apple from Post No. 5 flipped under the cliff halfway, nothing happened.
Tove's words made Charlie squint with delight.
All the outposts arranged in this mountain range know that Charlie in Outpost No. 3 and Homan in Outpost No. 5 are rivals.
Had it not been for a deep snow-capped mountain valley between them, I am afraid they would have already fought.
Therefore, in such a situation, every time you see something unexpected happens to your opponent, you can make him happy for a while.
"Haha. Really? Homan is really miserable! Okay! Let me comfort him."
While talking, the happy Charlie picked up the apple on the plate nearby, ready to give poor Horman a "comfort".
However, before he was able to connect with the fifth post, an unexpected communication was forcibly connected to the communication channel of the third post.
"Caucasus No. 3 Post! Please answer when you receive it! This is the headquarters of High Speed! Please answer when you receive it!
"Yes! This is Caucasus Post No. 3! Please give instructions!"
Upon receiving a communication from the headquarters, Charlie dropped the apple in his hand on the spot, stood at attention with Tov, and saluted the person who appeared on the screen in front of him.
"Post No. 3, Lieutenant Charlie. It is said that there have been several weird incidents in the Caucasus Mountains in recent days! Two of them were in the area near Post No. 3. Have you found anything unusual?"
"Do not···"
When Charlie was about to subconsciously want to deny it, he unexpectedly found his subordinates who were hesitant to talk.
So, he coughed quickly, held back what was about to be said, and looked at Tove.
"Corporal Tof. What's the matter, you can just say it! The sir is watching!"
"Yes!"
Under Charlie's guidance, Tof finally came up with what he had in mind.
Three days ago, when Tov, who had been on a patrol mission, was patrolling a nearby ravine with his comrades, he unexpectedly discovered an armored unit buried mostly in the snow.
Surprised, Tof and the others hurriedly guarded on the spot, and divided into two teams, one guarded in place, and the other quietly touched over to check the situation.
It turned out that this armored unit buried by the wind and snow turned out to be a friendly army.
Under this discovery, everyone did not hesitate, and quickly picked up the simple tools they carried, smashed the thick snow, and rescued all the friendly pilots who still had a trace of breath.
And Tove who was picking up snow also saw a scene that surprised him.
The entire back half of an Earth Joint Active Tank was flattened, as if it had been wounded by some kind of beast.
For Tof, the idea that was undoubtedly a lie was left behind on the spot.
But then, when he rescued a person from this tank with terrible scars, that person was still awake to a certain extent, but when he saw Tov, he suddenly grasped Tov's arm tightly. , His face was horrified, and his voice was shaking and shouting.
"fast···"
"Quick...Run!"
"It... it's coming!! Run!! Kids!!!"
"It...the ghost of the snow mountain is coming!! Run away!!!"
With a panicked face and a trembling voice, the person who kept repeating the words frightened by something suddenly uttered a scream and passed out.
Until the rescue troops who came later took him and other dying friendly forces away, they still couldn't wake up again.
Immediately afterwards, preparing to pack up the guys, Tov and the others, who returned to post No. 3, were called by an officer and told them not to disclose what they saw, heard, and encountered.
Later, it was from the communications from the headquarters that Tov once again saw the officer who urged to keep it secret, Tov decided to tell the matter that should be kept secret.
"Oh! So it's you! Then, things will be clear! Lieutenant Charlie, Corporal Tove! Starting tomorrow, the outposts in this mountainous area will be temporarily taken over by a certain force! At that time, you will have to cooperate with this force. Work! Make no mistakes!"
"Yes! Yes!"
At the end of the communication, Charlie and Tof looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.
There is only one question left in their minds.
"What the hell is the ghost of the snow mountain? Why do you have to spend so much time on this part?"
At this moment, in the slightly gentler area to the north of the Caucasus mountains, a troop funded by Blue Cosmos is slowly taking their first step.
The heavy door was slowly opened, allowing the gusts of cold wind to squeeze into the Gnaku parked with heavy trucks.
In the wind and snow caught in Gnaku, the personnel wearing safety helmets, thick windbreakers, thick gloves and waving red glow sticks were standing at the door, directing the heavy vehicles. The truck drove out of Gnaku in an orderly manner and drove toward the assembly point outside.
And these commanders standing on their posts under the wind and snow were seen by two men standing on the top platform of Ganaku.
They were a young man with short brown hair and brown eyes, and a burly man with a beard and short head.
"Tsk tusk. I didn't expect that this time the Eurasian Federation was actually playing it. The new unit that just went offline was actually taken out like this."
The burly man gazed at the heavy trucks below which were slowly driving out of Ganaku.
Under the canvas covering the back half of the heavy-duty vehicle, the mobile suit that has caused a lot of noise recently and has affected the situation of this battle. Moreover, it is also the independent research and development of the Earth United following the Genn and other mobile suits used by Zaft. And preliminary trial production of the new MS has been carried out.
"It's no big deal. It's just that the Earth United recently seems to have obtained an OS program from there that allows natural persons to control MS smoothly. Otherwise, United will not conduct the first batch of trial production so quickly."
The man with brown eyes is undoubtedly the best person to comment on the current situation.
Because, he himself is a pilot who already possesses a new type of MS Red Heresy, and even the leader of the famous mercenary force Serpent's Tail, Cong Yunjie.At the same time, standing by his side, instead of watching the three heavy-duty trucks slowly driving out of Gnaku, the burly man is the diplomat and intelligence officer of the snake's tail, Li De Weiler.
"That's right. But United seemed to have expected it a long time ago. Look over there."
Lid Willer moved his gaze, looked to the innermost side of Gnaku, and sighed silently.
"Unexpectedly, the big man in the joint took out those dolls as well."
Cong Yunjie followed his partner's gaze and looked over. The moment he touched the doll mentioned by Li De Weiler, a cold light and struggle also appeared under his eyes.
"Is it used as a doll for strengthening human experiments? Humph!"
When Cong Yunjie's cold snort sounded, Li De Weller suddenly yelled badly.
He knew that those dolls had touched Cong Yunjie's bottom line.
"Right! Hey, the general here seems to want to see us! Let's go! You know, the ghost of the snow-capped mountains that has been making a lot of noise recently is a mobile bounty!"
The ghost of the snow mountain.
No one knows where it came from,
I don't know where it is going.
The only thing we know is that in the early morning or at night, an armored unit that completed the exercise according to the original plan suddenly encountered an attack in a hillside south of the Caucasus, and the entire army was wiped out.
When the rescue was launched for the survivors, the messy but strange testimony from the survivors made the Caucasus headquarters very confused.
After several similar incidents that followed, the Caucasus headquarters finally decided to search the entire Caucasus region together with the newly formed unit and the heavily-invited mercenary force Serpent Tail, and strive to bring the so-called The true face of the ghost of the snow mountain was revealed.
Otherwise, the Eurasian Federation, which is involved in the ghosts of the snow-capped mountains behind it, cannot complete the battle against the Sahara Desert and even the Victoria Airport in a short time.
"Is the snow mountain ghost?"
Cong Yunjie looked at the snow outside the window, and ignored the voice of Li De Weiler who was already in a bargaining situation with the person in charge of this base.
Cong Yunjie was not the only one looking at the snow-capped mountains.
The same goes for a silver-haired boy who stands behind a heavy-duty truck and uses it to escape the wind and snow.
However, standing in the wind and snow, he did not have the warm environment that Cong Yunjie was in at the moment.
The only thing that can provide warmth for the teenager is the thick windproof coat on his body.
Even so, the young man's gaze was still cast into the depths of the wind and snow, the looming mountain range.
The next day.
After the wind and snow stopped, it was a sunny day.
The bright sunlight fell on the white snow, as if it was plated with a layer of golden brilliance, especially dazzling.
But starting from the base early, the formation of heavy-duty trucks heading towards the mountains along the road that had just been cleared by a forklift did not stop to watch the beauty. Instead, relying on enough surging power, they shuttled here. Among the mountains.
"Hey. This is the information shared by the base. Although it's a bit scarce, it's better than none."
In the past, Li De Weiler, who won the bargaining victory by relying on powerful diplomatic skills, put a finger-thick document in front of Cong Yunjie.
Cong Yunjie lowered his gaze to take a look, and suddenly understood the general situation.
Although these materials may seem thick, the information that may actually be valuable is probably only two or three pieces of paper.
Most of the rest are nonsense provided by soldiers who are frightened.
"Snow Mountain Ghost?"
Cong Yunjie, who wandered through the line quickly, noticed a piece of suspected key information.
"Wyler. Do you think this is possible? I'm afraid that even the new type of machine that was captured by Zaft and fell into the satellite fortress that the Eurasian Federation is proud of can't do it?"
Li De Weiler glanced at the information Cong Yunjie handed over, and shook his head slightly.
"Even if the aircraft does come here. But its stealth performance cannot be used in a wind and snow environment, and I am afraid that it cannot even activate the system in a valley where avalanches will burst at any time. Moreover, according to the testimony of the surviving soldiers Judging from it, the ghosts of the snow-capped mountains can appear behind them silently and attack."
Cong Yunjie nodded.
"This is also a suspicious point. What's more, it's even stranger that the rescue troops who arrived later couldn't find any traces of MS appearing nearby. Do you think this is really a ghost?"
Reed Willer spread his hands and shook his head.
"I don't know this. But what I know is that there is such a legend circulating around here. Maybe the so-called snow mountain ghost is the wild man in the local legend."
"Savage won't be able to slap a tank with a slap!"
Cong Yunjie closed the information in his hand and sighed.
It is better not to read these materials.
Don't look at it, at least you can keep enough alert.
But after seeing it, Cong Yunjie's mind was filled with a lot of doubts that he didn't understand.
If it is a body capable of flying, why can't the Eurasian Federation's secret sentry in this mountain range find the enemy's whereabouts?
Could it be that in this world, there will really be a body without a trace of snow?
Cong Yunjie couldn't understand. At a certain moment, he suddenly felt that if Luo, a lucky guy, was there, there might be a clue.
The bright sunlight gradually turned gray, and the surrounding white snow and woods gradually disappeared, turning into a valley of snow white mixed with countless gray-white rocks.
They have reached the task assembly point.
The ghost hunting in the snowy mountains begins here!
