When the lights illuminated the debris-free battlefield, soldiers wearing federal army uniforms shuttled back and forth, lowering their heads and carefully looking for some of the remains of the battlefield.
thing.
"Crack!"
The sound of the shutter sounded, and a picture was taken from an excellent angle, which was able to take a picture of this tragic battlefield with still a few sparks left, and the soldiers who were in it, looking for something everywhere.
"Second Lieutenant, aren't you going to rest?"
At this time, a voice sounded.
Lei Mingkai put down the photo in his hand, looked back, and found that it was Shiro Amada, the captain of the eighth team.
"Captain Amada, didn't you have no rest?" Lei Mingkai smiled and shook the camera in his hand. "I still have an interview task on my hands! Even now that I have been temporarily transferred to the Sixth Team,
There was no notification from the headquarters telling me to put down my original battlefield interview."
"So, you will take advantage of the free time after the battle to continue your interview mission?"
Shiro Amada glanced at the soldiers who were searching for something among the debris on the ground.
"Well, yes. I prefer staying outside than staying in the conference room."
After a pause, Lei Mingkai asked again: "Captain Amada. What exactly is that cargo?"
After the Magella tank team was destroyed by Lei Mingkai with the meteor hammer of the No. 3 Marine Gundam, the fleeing truck was also overtaken by the No. 3 Marine Gundam and captured.
Fortunately, the driver was not the kind of Zeon soldier who looked down upon death. No, maybe not even a Zeon soldier.
Lei Mingkai still clearly remembers that when facing the Vulcan cannon installed on the chest of the No. 3 Marine Gundam, the panic-stricken driver suddenly stepped on the truck and parked the truck on the side of the road, and then climbed up and down.
He climbed out of the cab of the truck.
At the same time, the unbuttoned Zeon uniform he was wearing was also taken off by the panicked driver.
"Please!! I was forced. Those Zeon soldiers said that if I didn't drive the goods they needed here, they would be detrimental to my family!! Please, please.
!!”
Visually, a man about 1.65 meters tall was kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy from the Gundam, which was about 18 meters tall.
This contrast between tall and short made Lei Mingkai feel a little uncomfortable.
"Get up! As long as you don't resist, we won't do anything to you."
In the end, Lei Mingkai's promise was verified.
After the Sixth Squadron and the Eighth Squadron teamed up to deal with the final enemy, the driver who had long been unable to stand up was also tied up by Meister and Elidoya and locked up behind the 74-type air-cushion truck.
Among the vacant seats.
Afterwards, after hearing the news, a large force came to seal the scene, and Team 6 and Team 8 were summoned to a meeting by Captain Kojima.
Amada Shiro, who attended the meeting, naturally knew what the goods were, but he didn't want to tell Lei Mingkai the truth so quickly.
Because, isn’t the guy in front of me strutting around with a camera a little too lazy? Although Captain Kojima has no choice but to do something about the order from the headquarters, it’s not so outrageous, right?
However, Shirou Amada didn't know that his thoughts had been seen through by Lei Mingkai early on.
"Captain Amada, do you think I'm a little lazy?"
"You" Amada Shirou was stunned and looked at Lei Mingkai in surprise.
"Haha! Captain Amada, don't worry about my affairs. The captain naturally understands why I won't go to the meeting. As for you, you should tell me about the goods now."
"You!! You"
Amada Shirou opened his mouth, and suddenly found that he could not find an adjective to describe Lei Mingkai's current state. Finally, Amada Shirou sighed helplessly.
"The captain asked me to tell you that the cargo transported by the truck has been inspected by the resident engineer. However, due to the complexity of the cargo itself, the engineer will not be able to check out many things. What is certain is that this cargo may
It is a device used for some kind of high-power energy output.”
Shiro Amada's words made Lei Mingkai's eyes flash with a gleam of light.
"Some kind of high-power energy output device?"
perhaps,
Now, in this mechanized mixed brigade, only Lei Mingkai knows what this so-called high-power energy output device is used for.
"Apsalas?"
This name flew through Lei Mingkai's mind. However, Lei Mingkai also had a doubt in his heart.
In the plot he is familiar with, the final model of Apsaras 3 was able to successfully balance design issues such as maneuverability and firepower after using the Great Demon's reactor.
And now, at a time when Apsaras 1 has not yet appeared, Zeon actually tried to deliver a batch of devices for high-power energy output to Kineas' hands.
This change gave Lei Mingkai a warning sign.
Perhaps, somewhere that you cannot see, certain factors are quietly affecting the course of the world.
Suddenly, Lei Mingkai woke up from his deep thoughts. Then, he also discovered that Amada Shirou was still standing beside him, with no intention of leaving.
"Captain Amada. I'm sorry. I was obsessed with something."
Lei Mingkai's apology made Captain Amada wave his hand.
"No. Lieutenant, you don't have to worry about it. But, have you thought of something?"
Although the title of war correspondent above Lei Mingkai's head was used to hide it, in the eyes of Amada Shiro and others, Lei Mingkai, a reporter who traveled around, might be able to think of some key places that they could not think of.
"No. I just thought of something."
Lei Mingkai pondered for a moment, and after making some trade-offs in his mind, he finally decided to tell Shirou Amada some of the information he knew. No, it should be Captain Kojima who was standing behind Shirou Amada.
"Now the war situation between us and the Zeon Army has begun to reverse. After the Battle of Rum, the Zeon Army, which had been going smoothly, came to its senses, and the Federation Army quickly mobilized its forces to block the arrogant steps in the early stages of the war.
.As the war spreads and the gap in population, resources, and even the elite of the entire military gradually widens, some Zeon leaders and technicians may take some extreme measures."
"An extreme approach?"
For some reason, Shiro Amada, reminded by Lei Mingkai, subconsciously recalled the previous tragedy of crashing in Sydney.
"Yes. It's an extreme approach. But as the Federation Army gains a foothold in the universe, Zeon can no longer easily complete the extreme and crazy actions it did before. Therefore, they need some powerful weapons."
Lei Mingkai nodded and tried his best to guide Amada Shirou's guess by tapping from the side in the direction of some kind of large, terrifying, and shockingly lethal weapon.
"Powerful weapons? Could it be that Zeon wants to create some powerful weapons to accurately strike important military targets of our Federation, thereby forcing our Federation forces to surrender?"
Under Lei Mingkai's guidance, Amada Shiro suddenly figured out the key.
"Maybe that's the case. Otherwise, with the MS specifications alone, high-power energy output devices will be needed, and these devices will also need to be escorted by an elite force?"
After a while, Lei Mingkai laughed a few times.
"Haha! I believe Captain Amada still remembers the strength displayed by the enemy in that battle during the day, right?"
Shirou Amada was silent.
After a while, Shiro Amada nodded and saluted Lei Mingkai:
"Thanks for the advice! Now, I must go back and report to the captain!"
"No. This is what I should do."
Looking at Shirou Amada's back as he turned away, Lei Mingkai secretly shook his head.
The reason why Amada Shirou suddenly appeared here was probably because of Captain Kojima's instruction. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Leot, who is more familiar with Lei Mingkai, to come and inquire?
"That's true. Ginger is still spicier with age."
The camera in his hand was raised again, but Lei Mingkai's eyes were looking at the snow-capped mountains stretching thousands of miles in the distance.
Sure enough, Lei Mingkai's guess attracted the attention of Captain Kojima. After Kojima asked the headquarters for instructions, the investigation task fell on the Eighth Team.
Team 6, where Lei Mingkai was located, went into standby mode, waiting for the next order to be issued.
This result was not beyond Lei Mingkai's expectation.
After all, it's just a reconnaissance mission.
There was no need to use two teams that both used Land Combat Gundam. So, in the station of the mechanized mixed brigade, Lei Mingkai was once again seen walking around with a camera.
Captain Kojima had nothing to do about this.
Because, in private, Kojima protested to the headquarters more than once, but the result was rejected by the headquarters, and even ordered that during the non-combat state, Lei Mingkai would be allowed to do so as long as it did not violate military confidentiality regulations.
Interview order.
In the end, Captain Kojima had no choice but to accept his fate.
this day,
On the third day after Team 8 went out on a reconnaissance mission, Lei Mingkai obtained permission from Captain Xiaodao to go out to collect information. Moreover, it was permission to go out alone.
With a camera hanging around his neck and a huge backpack on his back, Lei Mingkai left the station and walked briskly through the dense forest.
In this sparsely populated tropical rainforest, Lei Mingkai didn't have to worry about anything and directly let the powerful abilities hidden in his strengthened body reach its maximum.
This is not,
In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no doubt that the tropical rainforest, which is full of difficulties and infested with insects, has not been able to stop Lei Mingkai's footsteps, but he has been left far behind.
After advancing for a certain distance, Lei Mingkai stopped under a big tree, picked up the telescope, and looked at the cliff not far away.
"It's almost over here, right?"
Lei Mingkai's purpose today is to find the villages where militants are located near this battlefield.
If you want to ask for information about Apsalas, I am afraid that only militants who live in this area and have deep connections with the local residents will know.
After looking at it for a long time, Lei Mingkai didn't see anything wrong. Obviously, there was no trace of the militants Lei Mingkai was looking for.
"Keep looking!"
After putting down the telescope, Lei Mingkai looked up at the sun in the sky and subconsciously thought:
"Perhaps Amada Shirou has already met them."
Recalling the scene where Amada Shirou and Qiqi met when they just came to Earth and were eager to achieve a good result, Lei Mingkai shook his head helplessly.
In this changed world, will they still meet like this?
Probably, impossible?
After thinking for a while, Lei Mingkai shook these unrealistic thoughts out of his head and continued to move forward.
The growth in front of him, the rugged and dense jungle, could not stop Lei Mingkai's footsteps. However, less than half an hour later, Lei Mingkai passed through the entire rain forest from the previous viewing point to the cliff he had just observed.
.
As soon as he arrived at this cliff, Lei Mingkai's eyes suddenly opened up.
The next moment, the telescope placed on the side of the backpack was lifted up by Lei Mingkai again.
"found it."
Through the telescope, Lei Mingkai saw a few faint wisps of smoke rising from the edge of the rain forest on the southeast side.
That, perhaps, is what Lei Mingkai is looking for this time.
Smoke rises slowly,
Several children chased back and forth in the open space in front of the village entrance, waving the wooden sticks in their hands from time to time, making various gestures, and slashing hard at their playmates.
Suddenly, a boy who was stronger than other children accidentally stepped on the air and fell towards the field below, which was half a meter above the road. A pair of big hands caught the boy in time.
.
"careful!"
At the critical moment, when the boy who was being held was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that the person holding him was actually an adult in the village, but a young man in military uniform.
Now, the boy panicked.
I saw that he did not thank the young man who saved him at all. Instead, he shook off the young man's hand vigorously, turned around and ran away. At the same time, he kept shouting words in the local dialect that the young man could not understand.
"Huh? It seems that I have been misunderstood!"
Amidst the boy's series of calls in native dialect, the villagers who were still farming in the fields actually took semi-automatic rifles they had found from nowhere and surrounded the young man in a semicircular formation.
"Wait! I don't mean any harm. I just want to come here to ask something."
Lei Mingkai raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions at all.
However, the villagers did not accept this idea.
Among them, a thin man with extremely fierce eyes let out a sigh and said in a half-baked language that Lei Mingkai could barely understand:
"The Federation and Zeon are both the same thing! No matter whether you have malicious intentions or not, as long as you wear those clothes, you are our enemy!"
"clothing?"
Lei Mingkai was stunned and subconsciously looked at his sleeves.
"No! I forgot to change out of these clothes!"
Unexpectedly, a moment of carelessness caused Lei Mingkai a lot of trouble during this trip.
