From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 11 Stealth (Please read it! Please collect it!)
  Amber lived in a powerful Eastern country on Earth in her previous life.

For the country's military, special holidays don't always mean a vacation.

It's about an improvement in combat readiness level.

Especially on that annual day of family reunion, the military's combat readiness level reached its highest theoretical peak in peacetime.

But on the Robert IV, the federal troops gave Amber a big eye.

He never imagined that the discipline of the federal border forces would be so bad.

When Amber used slight psychic interference, the camera image at the door of the apartment was disturbed.

And with these few seconds, he remained invisible after coming out of the officer's apartment.

He discovered that the security level of the entire Yasin base had reached an extremely low level.

In addition to the main entrances and exits of the base, there are also mobile infantry on duty and several HCPs that are constantly patrolling.

Everyone else ran to the party venue to watch Commander Adam's 'concert'.

Even the soldiers who patrolled the base on weekdays were nowhere to be seen tonight.

"With this level of combat readiness, there will only be problems if the empire cannot defeat it."

Amber complained in her mind as she quickly walked through the base.

After optical stealth is turned on, unless it is at extremely close range or infrared imaging is turned on.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary monitoring equipment to detect the presence of psychic agents.

Along the way, Amber saw multiple medical vehicles driving from the base hospital to the communications center.

After a while, the whistle blew again and turned back.

Apparently, what Margaret called the 'collective allergic reaction in the communication center' had happened.

Five minutes later, Amber had arrived at the door of the communication center.

This is a large building integrating a penetrating communication tower and an information processing center.

It is also the only place on this planet that can transmit information to the 'penetrating fault communication terminal' in deep space.

The importance cannot be overstated.

However, in the communication center, most of the communication soldiers and guards collapsed due to severe allergic symptoms.

The only external defense force of this building is two temporarily transferred squads of motorized infantry, plus a multi-legged tank.

The mobile infantry, which is only equipped with a medium-sized exoskeleton, actually poses no threat to Amber.

Although these exoskeletons are powered by a mixture of gas turbines and metal hydrogen battery packs, they are covered with extremely hard silicon carbide armor plates.

The arms are also equipped with 8mm Gauss rifles, 40mm automatic grenade launchers, or 14.7mm squad support machine guns.

But these mobile infantrymen who were temporarily pulled over to serve as guards obviously didn't care much.

Everyone raised their visors, breathing in the fresh air and chatting.

There were even people watching the live broadcast of the Army Day celebration party.

Without activating the composite observation component on the visor, it was difficult for them to spot Amber approaching quietly in the night.

The real threat now actually comes from the heavy multi-legged tank.

This big guy has eight bionic mechanical legs and looks like a giant tarantula. His observation skills are much better than those of the surrounding infantry.

Above the front half of the body, the continuously rotating hemispherical observation equipment integrates various observation devices such as photoelectric, infrared, and microwave.

If it is a reconnaissance multi-legged tank, the 155mm electrothermal chemical gun turret mounted on the rear half of the body will be replaced by a set of ground-to-air radars.

The bionic mechanical feet used for movement will also be equipped with additional vibration sensors.

Amber looked at the big spider across the street and carefully hid her body behind the building.

He had to wait for an opportunity to pass under the nose of this steel monster.

And this opportunity came soon.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that these soldiers were called from the party venue to stand guard, and the temperature dropped sharply at night. The base logistics office actually arranged for a cooking truck to drive to the entrance of the communication center, and then made midnight snacks and hot soup for the soldiers on the spot.

After a while, the motorized infantry gathered around the cooking cart and started drinking hot soup.

The multi-legged chariot also released its alert mode and lowered its body to the ground.

Three soldiers wearing driving uniforms quickly opened the hatch cover and got out, joining the team eating late night snacks.

Amber will naturally not let go of this golden opportunity.

Taking advantage of the multi-legged chariot's ability to "lay down", he nimbly emerged from his hiding place and quickly sneaked towards the gate of the communication center.

The advantages of pure electric drive for lightweight exoskeletons are also reflected at this moment.

The motor, powered by a metal hydrogen battery pack, makes almost no noise.

It was completely covered up by the noise of the exoskeletons of the surrounding mobile infantry equipment.

Amber almost clung to these soldiers and passed through them.

The mobile infantrymen who were feasting did not notice at all that a psychic agent passed by them and entered directly into the main building of the communication center.

"This is too easy"

Amber, who successfully entered the communication center without much effort, suddenly felt that this operation seemed to go too smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, Amber, who observed the building from the outside and guessed its internal structure through experience, quickly arrived at the core area of ​​the communication center.

And saw that familiar figure.

Margaret, who was wearing the standard uniform of the federal army and a white coat over it, was holding an instrument and constantly measuring something in the air.

The loose uniform and white coat cannot hide the proud figure of this female imperial spy.

On the contrary, it brings out the seductive style of a uniform.

Amber walked quietly to her side and coughed slightly.

After hearing the movement around her, Margaret did not make a sound, but put away the instrument in her hand and walked in a certain direction.

Amber followed her and soon came to a surveillance blind spot.

The space in this blind spot was not very big, so Amber almost hid close to Margaret's body.

After confirming that her body was not exposed, Amber released the optical invisibility and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The invisibility of a psychic agent cannot be maintained forever.

Amber needs to constantly stimulate the synthetic cell coating on the surface of the equipment through psychic energy so that these synthetic cells can refract light, thereby achieving the effect of optical invisibility.

Based on the current spiritual energy storage in his body, it can last up to 1 hour.

This does not include other situations that require the use of psychic powers.

Since she doesn’t know what emergencies she will encounter in the future, Amber must plan carefully now.

He raised his head, and Margaret's lazy and coquettish face was close at hand, her red lips were dazzling.

Amber had to admit that this female imperial spy not only had a good figure, but also had a first-class appearance.

"Check the watch."

After entering the task state, Margaret put away her lazy voice.

"This is Cosmic Standard Time, August 8, 17:15."

"There are still 10 minutes left before the scheduled attack time of the Imperial Fleet."

Amber nodded and signaled for him to continue the deployment.

"I will continue to detect allergens in the communication center. After five minutes, I will move to the core communication room and meet another companion."

"There will be two guards equipped with medium-sized exoskeletons at the door of the core communication room."

Margaret looked up at Amber and said,
  "When the time comes, it's up to you."
