Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 301 300. Should I strive to be a role model for others in the future?
A battle that theoretically should have taken about half a day to a day, during which they might have to order takeout and eat while they were at it, was resolved in an instant thanks to the active work of a specially hired "teacher" who had never been heard of before.

The main criminals... uh, all the students who had committed mistakes were arrested, handcuffed and made to sit in a long line along the wall of the school defense team.

They were clearly wearing helmets, but no one took them off. Those who were not wearing helmets had crooked mouths and squinting eyes, and were currently unable to take care of themselves, like fresh corpses.

This was the first time that Seifer had seen such a fierce gunfight without anyone dying, and both sides were not very old... mysterious.

He looked around with his weapon on his back, then asked the captain of the guard over there: "After capturing the prisoner, what should we do next?"

The latter scratched his head and said, "Huh? Shouldn't he be locked up in the school's detention room for reflection? Generally speaking, a crime of this magnitude would require at least a week of detention."

"Only a week?"

"Do you think it's too long?!"

The nonsensical conversation continued for a while, and Sefer managed to understand the students' logic.

They think that for a minor incident like robbing a bank, a week in solitary confinement is already a very severe punishment, and the only more severe punishment would be something like attacking passersby for no reason.

He'll be put in solitary confinement for a month.

In response, Seifer could only nod expressionlessly and let the defense team take these guys away first. He then put down the heavy suitcase that required one person to hold, opened it and took a look.

——To be honest, this was the first time that Seifer had seen the concept of "money." Before this, he had only seen the fluctuations of numbers in mercenary accounts.

Whether it is expenditure or income, it is all a string of numbers. I have never felt any reality about it. Now I feel a little confused when I see these colorful pieces of paper.

"So money really has a physical form... Who issues it?"

Squatting on the ground and picking up a stack, Sefer was surprised to find that this thing was made quite formally. One could even see a soft chip on each banknote to ensure its authenticity and non-replicability.

As I was observing, the threat scan suddenly showed that the suitcase was not safe.

Immediately throwing the suitcase out, Seifer waved his hand: "Everyone get down!"

Because of his bravery just now, the guards who were still a little hesitant immediately lay down. The suitcase spun several times in the air... and suddenly exploded.

The loud noise was like a dull hammer blow, blowing up even the dust on the ground. In the expanding fireball, countless banknotes fluttered around like a snowflake made of paper.

So much money, and they just blow it up... Who planted the bomb? Was it necessary?
"Cough cough cough cough..." The captain of the escort team got up and ran to escort the group of people. He coughed and said to Seifer, "It's these guys again..."

"So what's going on? Are these people who robbed the bank just a front?"

"No, no..." The team leader wiped the dust off with great effort, his face covered in white spots, looking extremely funny. "It's another group. I guess they also accepted the task of eliminating the bank robbers, but their methods are different from ours..."

Sefer suddenly remembered that when he raided the bank just now, he did feel a different threat, but the threat soon disappeared without a trace.

"Hmm...it does feel that way, so why did the bomb buried in the suitcase explode anyway?"

"Well...we don't know. Maybe the bomb isn't stable enough?"

After the conversation, Cypher watched as the prisoners were taken away by an ambulance with a conspicuous logo painted on it, and then he turned back to the main body of the machine.

I'd thought I'd need the mech on this mission, but after actually using it, Cypher realized... well, it wouldn't be needed. The enemy's fighting spirit and prowess weren't even close to the mercenaries, if anything, they were just lackluster. Their fearlessness stemmed from the fact that they couldn't die from being shot at.

Although the pain is extremely real and one will lose consciousness immediately if hit in the vitals, there is always a chance to come back, so they can always make various "experiments".

Excessive simulation may even make some people no longer afraid of being shot... I wonder what Shengnai would think.

When we walked under the fuselage, we saw many students from the Guard standing there, marveling at the machine. Some of them were even brave enough to take pictures of the cockpit - because there was no such thing as a cage inside the cabin.

It was different from what was described in the books they had studied, so they were quite curious.

Sefer noticed that the students of the guard were all dressed in uniform and had weapons issued uniformly, but when they carried them on their backs, they looked like student bags, which was a bit strange.

"Teacher, is your name Red Crossbow?"

"Teacher, teacher, how does this thing feel to drive? Is it as powerful as the book says?"

"Teacher, how did you manage to withstand the attack of so many people..."

Seeing Sefer coming, they came over without hesitation and asked questions, just like a group of ducklings seeing their mother duck coming.

There is a kind of clear and simple beauty.

It was really difficult to answer so many questions at once. Although Seifer was not very capable now, he had to spend some time to popularize the basic knowledge to these students who joined the guard.

For example, Red Crossbow is his mercenary code name, so he used it as an external name because it was convenient. For example, ordinary people should never drive a mercenary's body, as they would die suddenly due to excessive G-force, etc.

As for why he was able to charge in with so many guns, this kind of thing only requires excellent training and tactical skills, and he can catch the enemy by surprise, etc...

Seeing him teaching the class so carefully on the spot, the team leader who was contacting the higher-level command unit also breathed a sigh of relief.

This... new teacher who suddenly rushed into the scene, whose authority for some reason was much higher than that of ordinary teachers and who was also very good at fighting, was really shocking. If it weren't for her, the trouble would have been even bigger.

After temporarily giving classes to these enthusiastic students and answering some of their questions and teaching them combat common sense, Seifer was able to successfully board his own machine.

The hatch closed and locked, and external information and images appeared. At the same time, the grille on the back of the aircraft opened, and the normal heat dissipation appeared, which made many people cheer.

These students are full of curiosity and an exploratory spirit, and many things that can only be seen in images and learning can trigger their positive attitude.

The machine slowly turned around, and the head, which was theoretically just a decoration, suddenly turned towards the three-dimensional space constructed by various uneven floors.

"Anyway, I'm leaving now. I might pay you a formal visit later... [Political Engineering, Law and Technology College], so I'll contact you then."

The students below waved and watched the machine move forward slowly. After reaching a safe range, the various nozzles hidden inside the machine started up, and the whistling hot wind blew onto the faces of everyone present, forcing them to hide everywhere.

Lest it turn into barbecue.

Cypher quickly returned to the mobile base and when he docked the machine inside the vehicle, he remembered that he still had a lot of things to do.

First of all... with the design drawings in hand, we need to find a research institute to cooperate with, but the question is which research institute is more trustworthy?
In this world, up to now, even the Huanwu Group can only be said to be an exchange of interests. Trust... is very precious.

　Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
