From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 29 A Blind Cat Meets a 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 station 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 wanted to treat them as NPCs like before in the game.

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 a soldier like a son!"

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 physical 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 the other people'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 them. 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? Or 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', he felt much better.

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 won't end in a short time. Just wait and see. Tell me as soon as you contact other troops."

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

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

"Sir! We detected a group of unauthenticated shortwave signals. It might be the Imperials!"

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

"Are you sure it's the Imperials?"

"Well, it won't be ours anyway, sir!"

Amber frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked:

"Direction? Distance?"

"The northeast direction of the convoy is about 3 kilometers away!"

"Fuck, so close?!"

Amber immediately called up the map and confirmed the approximate direction.

For his escape plan, it is not a good idea to run into the Imperials now.

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

The mobile infantrymen quickly got off the vehicles and covered the armored vehicles with a camouflage net with infrared shielding effect.

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

The captured 120mm mortar was also set up in a suitable position together with the other 120mm mortar left in the original convoy, ready for fire support at any time.

And Amber himself, after ordering the mobile infantrymen to stay on standby, rushed out first.

He planned to rely on his optical stealth to do a close reconnaissance to see what was going on ahead.

By the way, do you like to watch intelligence battles, fleet battles, land battles, or big robots fighting?
