[Thank you for the support of "Just for Reading" with two monthly tickets. Tomorrow is June 1st. Wow, children's shoes, did you get any candy~~]
This is a barren factory ruins.
Looking around, the factory buildings of different shapes are piled up like building blocks, forming a wonderful outline. The tall chimneys poke into the sky, and it is not difficult to imagine that when the factory is in full operation, they will emit spectacular smoke dragons. The barbed wire fence surrounding the factory area was constantly shaking in the wind, making a "sizzling" sound. On the barbed wire fence that is no longer powered, you can still see a sign hanging obliquely on it that reads "Industrial area, no entry for idlers".
The once prosperous factory area is now only left with contiguous ruins. The continuous factory buildings are like giant beasts with their guts hollowed out, lying powerlessly on the ground, and the wind comes in and out from the gaps in the factory area, making low hums.
The two off-road vehicles approached from far away, and finally stopped in the wilderness outside the factory area. An off-road vehicle on the left is full of soldiers, and the other one has only one driver, forming a strong contrast.
Petite, but well-proportioned women jumped out of the car. She was wearing a tight-fitting black tactical uniform, with silver-white armor wrapped around her chest and calves, an automatic pistol hung on each side of her waist, and a small carrying case full of ammunition on her back And a few coins. A simple full-face helmet includes functions such as communication, air purification, and multiple vision modes.
It can be said that this is a standard battlefield configuration, and the person dressed as a soldier is Leah.
A month passed in a blink of an eye. During this month, Leah participated in the special training for soldiers of Zero Company. It was Brown who acted as the instructor. With Zero's notice, Brown let Lia join the training and at the same time trained her completely as required. Not only did it not have the slightest element of letting go, it was even more severe, completely in the pattern of a devil instructor.
And the whole training process, zero is also obvious to all. It can be said that Leah is working very hard. Zero has forgotten how many times this girl fell down on the training ground and how many times she got up again. Even sometimes, Brown couldn't stand it anymore, but Zero didn't allow him to stop. Zero or almost ruthless cruelty, but he knew that if he was more cruel now, the chances of Leah surviving on the battlefield would be higher.
What's more, if Liya couldn't bear the intensity of the training and quit voluntarily, it might not be a bad thing.
But to everyone's surprise, this seemingly weak girl persisted until the end with perseverance and tenacity, and got the ticket for the expedition. Of course, whether one can truly obtain this qualification depends on today's final assessment. And assessments like this have been held many times, with the purpose of selecting qualified candidates from among the soldiers, and those who are rejected will stay at the company base.
In today's assessment, Zero personally acted as the examiner.
This is an actual combat simulation in a real scene. The commando team composed of Liya, Haiwei, Yeliu and ten soldiers is today's protagonist. Their task is to sneak into the target factory area, get the task items and then safely evacuate. Among them, the team's teamwork ability, the captain's command ability and the special talents of other team members need to be tested.
In this team, Haiwei acts as the captain and takes on the responsibility of commanding the entire team. Yeliu is a master of reconnaissance and lurking, but Liya uses her ability to act as a communication soldier and reconnaissance. As for the other soldiers, some are snipers, some are firemen, some are blasting experts, and so on.
After Leah jumped out of the car, other team members also got out of the car. They all turned around and saluted Zero who was acting as the examiner on the vehicle on the right. Under Haiwei's order, the team quickly approached the factory area and stopped behind a huge boulder that served as a cover. Haiwei took out a tablet smart brain, and after switching the smart brain to the projection function, a three-dimensional topographic map of the factory area was suspended on the screen and turned around.
Haiwei put on the sensing gloves, and made adjustments by pointing to the three-dimensional map in mid-air. Finally, a building with a height of more than ten floors appeared in everyone's eyes: "This is our target building today, the factory office building. Our task item In a certain room on the top floor, it is not difficult to imagine that the office building must be heavily armed, and the other side will definitely not let us succeed easily. Another issue that needs to be considered is that we have to find an entry point. This factory area is not small , it is impossible for the opponent to deploy heavy troops everywhere. We must find weak points in their defense line, which can be used by us to cut in and retreat."
She looked at Leah and said, "Can you use your mental scan to determine the distribution of the opponent's soldiers?"
"To scan such a large area, I can only use fuzzy scanning, which can roughly sense the existence and orientation of living things, but I can't know the specific number and coordinates." Liya said truthfully.
"No problem, let's get started."
Leah nodded and closed her eyes. Using her as the starting point, a wave of mental power fanned towards the abandoned factory area like a tide. At the same time as the mental power fluctuated, Leah also sensed some vague life reactions, and she quickly reported the approximate location of the life reactions one by one. Following Lia's dictation, Haiwei quickly added a special mark on the three-dimensional map through the sensor glove. When the fuzzy scan was over, Leah opened her eyes and found that there were some red dots on the stereogram.
The red dots represent the life responses that Leah scanned, but they only mark an approximate location, as for the exact number and coordinates, it is impossible to confirm. Accurate data can only be obtained when Lia's level is further improved and wide-area scanning can be used. As for now, that's all Leah can do. But even so, it was enough for Haiwei to judge the approximate distribution of the opponent's soldiers.
This is the convenience of a team with perception domain abilities. Mental scans are difficult to be detected by equipment or even ability users. Only those with perception domain abilities can counter mental scans through certain occulting abilities.
"Then, it's basically like this." Haiwei used the sensor glove to point out a breakthrough route on the three-dimensional map, and this route happened to pass through the weakest area in the life response distribution area sensed by Leah. Haiwei casually pointed to several commanding heights on this route: "Here, and here, we must deploy snipers to hold us back when we retreat."
Her slender fingers connected among the team members: "You, and you, these two places are entrusted to you. Note, when we retreat, I need you to be able to form an effective crossfire line to achieve maximum containment! "
"Yes, sir." The two soldiers nodded.
"Okay, let's go then." Haiwei took off the sensing gloves and prepared to put away the brain.
Another soldier wondered, "That's the end of the matter, sir? You haven't said what to do when you arrive at the factory office building?"
"At that time, it's natural to play by ear. The opponent is not a stake, sir. They won't stay in the same place obediently and let you make a targeted plan, so my plan is to adapt to the situation." Haiwei said confidently.
The soldier who asked the question was the latest batch of members to join the army, so he didn't know the style of the girl in front of him, and he always talked about it after hitting him. For Hai Wei, choosing a route to advance and retreat was already very difficult, and this was to take care of these soldiers and Lia. If she and Yeliu were the only ones to carry out this task, her plan would probably only be "frontal breakthrough".
But having said that, Hai Wei, who has already been promoted to become a "Master of Fighting", once she is given the opportunity to fight close-quarters, even Zero will have a headache dealing with it. After all, Haiwei's path is a fighting route based on various throwing techniques. To put it simply, she is very clingy, and if you are clingy to her, the consequences will be disastrous.
---Dividing line---
Bart was smoking a cigarette boredly. He was a recruit who participated in this pre-battle training and was lucky not to be eliminated. This made the black fighter feel gratified. As long as he can go to the battlefield, Bart is willing to do his best. Of course, no one wants to go to the battlefield and die in vain. Undoubtedly, war is the fastest-paying job, and Bart needs to support his family.
Even if he died on the battlefield, the company would pay his family a pension. The pension may not be much, but it is enough for his children to grow up. For a mercenary, this is enough.
And there are not a few people who think like Bart, this is almost the common thought of most mercenaries.
Fight wars, make money, raise a family or have women, and repeat until you die in some battle.
Bart was unwilling to die worthless, and in his spare time, he took out a pocket watch. The pocket watch, which his wife found at a flea market, was no longer working, but there was room for a photograph behind it. In the photo is a family portrait, with Bart standing in the middle, his wife on the left, and his five-year-old son on the right. In the photo, all three are smiling happily.
Looking at the photo, Bart also smiled. To be honest, today's job is easy. Bart and most of the soldiers acted as villains. They were responsible for guarding the abandoned factory area in this scenario simulation battle, just to prevent a team of 13 from invading. This seemed ridiculous to Bart. You must know that there were a total of five hundred people on their side, and there was also a master of guns and a master of swords.
With such a lineup, it might not be possible for the opponent to have ten times as many people as possible. Although there are three ability users in that team, they are the fighting master, the night messenger, and a late-advanced perception domain ability user. But what can three women do
However, this factory area is not ordinary. Once five hundred people were put in here, it was like a few drops of water jumping into the sea, and there were no waves to be seen at all. Commander Brown divided the factory area into five areas from A to E, and Bart's team was responsible for defending the outermost area E.
At this moment, Area E was as quiet as a huge tomb, except for the regular reports from teammates on the short-wave communicator, there was no other sound.
Bart took a deep breath and pulled himself together. But when he closed the pocket watch, a blurred figure appeared on the worn case.
The terrible thing is that the figure is right above his head.
Bart rolled on the spot, maintaining a kneeling posture when he bounced up. The machine gun in his hand rose, and a series of movements were neat and tidy. But it was still not enough for Yeliu. When Bart pointed his gun at the ceiling where she was before, Yeliu had quietly appeared behind him.
After the girl cut her neck with a hand knife, she said calmly, "You are already dead."
Bart could only smile wryly, he knew Yeliu wasn't talking big. If this was a real battlefield, what greeted him was not a light hand knife, but a dagger or something else that separated his body.
He raised his hand and said, "Okay, I'm dead."
Then he lay down on the ground and silently watched Yeliu leave lightly. It was only then that Bart remembered that it seemed that the scheduled report every 10 minutes had not sounded for a long time. According to this, the other companions probably also received special care from this naturally dull girl.
Bart's guess was right. With Leah's ability of mental scanning, Bart's teammates hiding in the bunker were found by Leah one by one, and then notified Yeliu through the mind chain. Ye Liu acted as a killer, clearing out these sentries hiding in the dark one by one, so that the rear team could invade the abandoned factory area without anyone noticing.
In this environment, the convenience of people with perception domain abilities in a team is fully revealed. Even if Leah has not advanced to the next level, even if the mental scan is only at the initial stage. But within the range of 500 square meters that the mental scan works on, any secret whistle is meaningless. Leah can find them out accurately, and let her own fighters clear the secret sentries.
And if Liya's level is raised and her abilities are further strengthened, the scope of mental scanning will become wider and wider, even reaching the coverage of fuzzy scanning. This means that on the battlefield, those with abilities in the perception domain will know everything. Most of the ability users in this field belong to the auxiliary type, and they may not be of much use in the high-speed and explosive battles between the ability users, but on the regular battlefield, they are a sharp weapon to defeat the enemy.
With the cooperation of Liya and Yeliu, Haiwei's team can almost be described as unimpeded. The targeted advance route made the intrusion easier, which made the accompanying soldiers let go of their initial contempt for the three female ability users, and instead showed respect in their eyes.
But when there was only half the distance to the destination, Liya's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said to Yeliu in her mind: "Come back quickly, a patrol team suddenly inserted a hundred meters in front of you, the number of people There were about thirty people, and they were coming in our direction."
The last sentence was said to Haiwei at the same time. Haiwei snorted, "It's a penetrating defense. Uncle Brown is playing tricks again. Quick, Leah, scan the surrounding environment, we need cover."
Liya nodded, and her mental power was spreading around like a tide. The next moment she said, "There is a warehouse 200 meters to the left, and there is a sewer entrance nearby. Maybe we can hide in there."
"Sewers? I hate that kind of place." Hai Wei still ordered everyone to avoid it.
After a while, the team disappeared on the ground. In the former abandoned factory building, Bart, who was lying on the ground in a daze, suddenly heard footsteps, and the next moment someone rushed towards him and yelled on the walkie-talkie: "It's an invasion. Find the dead and wounded!"
Hearing what his colleague said, Bart couldn't help but whistled. Now that his body had been discovered, it naturally meant that it was time to get off work.
