From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 29 The blind cat meets the dead mouse
  After the alloy explosion-proof door in the middle of the site's defense wall was opened, the convoy slowly drove into the energy supply station.

In fact, before entering the site's warning circle, Amber had already asked an armored vehicle to release a vehicle-mounted drone.

He flew around the edge of the air warning area of ​​the energy supply site and confirmed that there were no signs of attack in this place.

These are the least dangerous investigations that can be done with current equipment.

And Amber was basically relieved after seeing no traces of the attack.

As long as it is not stormed by the imperial army, it means that this energy supply station is most likely safe.

Because the key of quantum encryption cannot be easily cracked by force.

At least the empire's orbital paratroopers would not airborne with supercomputers on their backs, let alone go to great lengths to crack such an energy supply station.

Because their more important task now is to strangle the federal forces on the ground as much as possible.

After the vehicles were parked, Amber led the mobile infantry to find fuel pipes and cables, fill the vehicles with fuel, and charge the battery pack.

The surviving mechanics in the team also took this opportunity to inspect the five vehicles.

Then, Amber arranged for several more soldiers to assist Isabel in moving the wounded to open areas.

And the 'portable sterile room' was deployed, allowing Isabel to perform emergency surgery on one of the seriously injured soldiers.

Finally, after arranging the charging of everyone's exoskeletons, as well as the order of alertness and rest, Amber sat on the ground aside.

After this thrilling night, Amber's energy and physical strength had actually dropped significantly.

Especially after taking over the command of this team, Amber remained fully focused during the vehicle maneuvers and did not dare to slack off at all.

After all, he now has thirty-four more lives on his hands.

Although Amber really wants to treat them as NPCs like she did in the game before.

But looking at the vivid expressions on the faces of these soldiers, I felt their joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

Amber found that she could no longer see them the way she had before.

According to normal circumstances, there should be a sound that only Amber can hear at this time.

Then say something like "Earn the title: Love soldiers like sons!"

But unfortunately, this book does not.

After leaning against the wall and thinking wildly for a while, Amber fell asleep without noticing.

"Why is it so quiet?"

Amber suddenly woke up when she noticed something was wrong in her light sleep.

And subconsciously set up the 'Ghost' sniper rifle that was originally placed on his knees.

What caught his eye was Isabel squatting directly in front of him.

This female imperial spy was looking at him with a half-smile.

This expression also reminded Amber of her previous experience of being judged by this woman in the medical examination center.

"How long have I been asleep? Why is it so quiet?"

Amber put down the weapon in his hand, raised his right hand and rubbed his sore eyes.

"It didn't take long, less than 2 hours."

"The vehicle's fuel supply has been completed, the battery pack is almost fully charged, and everyone else's exoskeletons are also half charged."

"They are taking turns to rest according to your arrangement, and there are people on the high wall to guard, so don't worry~"

Isabel unscrewed a military kettle and handed it to Amber. The spout was still steaming.

"Here~ drink some hot coffee to refresh yourself. This is one of the supplies that others just dug out at the site."

Amber didn't show any pretense. After nodding her thanks, she took the kettle and took a sip.

A strong aroma of coffee beans and roasted aroma comes to your nose.

What follows is a bitter and slightly sour taste flowing between the lips and teeth. Amber frowned and swallowed the first sip of hot coffee. Although he was not used to the taste, he had to admit that it was quite refreshing.

"Is there milk in the supplies? Maybe you can add some sugar."

Seeing Amber frowning in embarrassment, Isabel burst out laughing.

"I didn't expect you couldn't get used to drinking this, why are you acting like a child hahaha"

Amber: "."

After noticing Amber's increasingly ominous gaze, Isabel quickly stopped smiling, and then took the military kettle.

"I'm going to find you some milk. You can rest for a while. Don't make yourself too tired."

Isabel stood up and stopped after taking two steps.

"These people, including me, all regard you as their backbone."

After saying this, Isabel hurried away without looking back, not knowing where to find milk for Amber.

As a result, Amber did not drink hot coffee with milk until the convoy started again.

After biting the bullet and drinking the remaining 'pot water', his spirit improved a lot.

Although the refreshing drinks issued by the military are more effective and last longer.

But that thing, after all, is a prepared drug, and it has some side effects.

Moreover, it is easy to develop tolerance if you drink too much, so Amber will not take the initiative to drink unless it is absolutely necessary.

The communications soldier on the side fiddled with the screen and various instruments in front of him for a long time, and finally leaned back in his chair as if resigned to his fate.

"No sir, we still can't contact the surrounding friendly forces, and the signals of the battalion and company level edge network and the brigade and battalion level backbone network are also very poor."

"It's okay. The communication interference will not end in a short time. Just check again after a while and let me know as soon as you contact other troops."

Amber patted the other person's shoulder. He had used this action quite frequently in the past few hours.

Just when he was about to communicate some issues with Isabel, a slightly nervous voice came from the communication channel.

"Sir! We have detected a set of shortwave signals that cannot be authenticated, possibly from the Empire!"

The refreshing effect of this sentence is much stronger than coffee or anything else.

"Confirmed to be imperial troops?"

"Well, he won't be one of ours anyway, sir!"

Amber's brows wrinkled slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she then asked:

"Axis? Distance?"

"The distance to the northeast of where the convoy is heading is about 3 kilometers!"

"Fuck, so close?!"

Amber immediately called up the map and confirmed the general location.

For his escape plan, it was not a good time to run into Imperial troops.

So he immediately ordered the convoy to drive off the road and hide in the woods next to the road.

The mobile infantry quickly dismounted and covered the armored vehicle with a camouflage net with an infrared shielding effect.

The ultra-short wave reconnaissance and jamming armored vehicle in the team also raised its mast antenna to achieve better detection or jamming effects.

The captured 120mm mortar, together with another 120mm mortar remaining in the original convoy, was found and set up in a suitable position, ready for fire support at any time.

Amber himself, after ordering the mobile infantry to stay put, rushed out at the lead.

He planned to use his optical invisibility to conduct a close reconnaissance to see what was going on ahead.

　By the way, do you prefer to watch intelligence battles, fleet battles, land battles, or big robot fights?
