Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 456 455. How to counter an ambush? Isn't this common sense?

The scorching sun will always shine, and even the length of time it shines varies from year to year... In this season, the daytime is obviously a little shorter than the nighttime.

The sun gradually and slowly set over the mountain. When the lengthened shadows came with the night storm, some people ran away first.

It was the car that was also lurking in this area. While they were running busily, they did not forget to send a message to "confirm" the location of the ambush circle.

This message was naturally intercepted by Leica, and she didn't quite understand... why was it emphasized?

At this time, Seifer, who had changed back into his spare body and looked like an ordinary mercenary, shrugged and said, "This is telling us that if we want to retaliate against those ambushes, we should counterattack in advance."

"So all you have to do is monitor the situation. I'll call Momo over to you. If there's any encrypted content, ask her to help translate it."

The hall was still full of talented people today. Sefer cooked a big pot of multi-grain porridge for everyone in the morning, and paired it with some pickled vegetables he had made in the warehouse when he was free, and boiled eggs that he never had to worry about using... Everyone was very happy eating it.

Growing children also need to take an extra supplement, which is provided by the girls' college. All Sefer has to do is distribute it.

He observed that some of his juniors would secretly hide these pills - well, food that doesn't taste good is really hard to swallow.

Tien was warming up the car. The tracks were slowly turning as the car crawled out. She laughed heartily: "The car has grown bigger, and our driver has become bolder too, right?"

"In the past, when encountering problems, you would hide away or observe first and then consider. Why are you planning to take the initiative this time? By the way, where is the nurse?"

Just as he was asking, Seifer heard the sound of the airtight door opening, and Shengnai walked in with his usual light steps: "I'm here, do you need any help?"

Even Tien smacked her lips and said, "You'll have your hands full today. These little guys have never fought a real battle before. They might cause trouble."

"Indeed... I'm already prepared."

Saying this, Shengnai walked lightly to the side of Sefer. The vehicle moved forward with a slight roar and vibration. She lowered her voice as she drove out of the weathered rock area and continued on her way.

"Cipher, I've analyzed all the test results, but..."

"Let's not talk about the outcome for now. Did you have a good rest yesterday? I remember that a guy as bad-tempered as Alfred was in your room. He must have picked a fight with you."

Shengnai smiled and said, "No, Miss Afu was sleeping very soundly. She even mistook me for Sefer in the middle of the night and kept hugging me tightly. She seemed to be afraid of the cold."

This is what lack of love looks like.

"I didn't see her come to the restaurant, so she can't still be sleeping?"

Shengnai's eyebrows curved, and a slight blush appeared on her face: "Yes, because... I am the only one who is treated gently. Miss Afu has suffered a lot."

It was already a kindness of Sefer himself that he didn't punch her in the stomach twice. Next time she bullies Shengnai, she will have to consider becoming a qualified punching bag.

"By the way, the test results... judging by the results, Miss Afu is in the best physical condition among her peers. Aside from her slightly elevated blood pressure, all her values are excellent."

Her high blood pressure is probably because she is under a lot of pressure because she is angry every day, makes sarcastic remarks to her subordinates, and even uses that annoying expression.

"Comparatively, I'm just average, average even, but that's normal because we're all growing up."

"Finally, there's Cypher... Although there's no blood, judging by the other analysis results..."

She hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Everything is 'it looks that way' or 'it should be this way,' but at the core, it's just appearance."

"Cypher's body... is even stranger than a machine's."

Maybe one day I'll emerge from the jar with a 25cm... No, I can't read any more gossip. "Forget it, we'll discuss these questions after the infirmary is fully established. Let's deal with those sneaky things first."

After the decision was made, Shengnai stopped worrying and went to the infirmary to prepare.

The azure light formed a long track behind the vehicle. At this moment, Lin Shenxue, who was standing next to the fireman, glanced at the beautiful azure light in the engine and shrugged.

Then report to Cipher that the engine is running normally and the output is about 10%. If necessary, ask her to increase the output load immediately.

Having all the irrelevant personnel leave the main control room and go to the various decks to wait for orders, Cypher thought for a moment and suddenly contacted Ichika: "I want to borrow someone from you, is that okay?"

"Of course, we have to do what we can in the car. Please give the order."

Everyone in the car asked Sefer to register as a temporary passenger. Theoretically, as long as the car was not completely destroyed, Sefer would be able to protect them.

"Have Xiaobing and anyone else wear windproof work clothes and go to the lookout tower for duty. The lookout tower is..."

After distributing the requests, the junior who was always eager to do something for Sefer and her roommate soon entered the observation tower upon request.

Then they also felt what Sefer had felt about the 'Lookout' before.

The dome opened, and the platform beneath their feet, along with the boxes stacked around it, rose up. The warm sand that spread over made it almost impossible for the two to open their eyes.

Their neatly groomed long, straight black hair was immediately filled with sand, and if they hadn't had filtering respirators, they would have been choked to death.

After rising to a high altitude and being fixed, the two, under Ichika's command, opened the boxes with a bit of fear of heights and found that there were aircraft with propellers inside?
The entire desert is a huge source of infrared heat radiation. Long-range radar technology is as useless as a blind man. Optics is still reliable - so what is the most reliable?

The answer is drones.

With Dr. Mei's support, these small drones could even form a reconnaissance formation. It would be difficult to spot such a small target in the pitch-black desert...

Curiously, they lifted it up into the wind according to the instructions. The propeller immediately turned, and then the little thing flew out of their hands and flew forward.

The energy contained in the geothermal heat and sand is enough to keep this little thing flying before its mechanical components completely wear out. And the stable communication link... Dr. Mei's little toy is truly reliable.

Six small reconnaissance planes took off and quickly dispersed under the command of the tank commander. They rose high into the sky and overlooked the entire dark desert.

The first thing that came in was the track of a huge object, which was only a thin glowing line when viewed from high altitude. Then it was the desert that was still dark even under the moonlight.

In this environment, any trace left by a car or even a person walking can be easily discovered.

Is the opponent aware of this tactic of advanced reconnaissance? The answer is partially unknown.

Some mercenaries don't even bother with tactics or equipment; they just follow the big mercenaries, trying to get a piece of the pie in this kind of place.

As for those who noticed that they were being monitored in advance... by the time their eavesdroppers discovered that a terminal with a stable transmission channel appeared within the alert range, it was already a little too late.

This group of people has entered the range of the Navigator's artillery fire.

Everyone should know what it means for a gun to have an in-air lighting mechanism, even without further explanation.

The twin-mounted main gun, which was clearly not suitable for a medium-sized mobile base, slowly adjusted its angle. With the assistance of Cypher's threat scan and fire control computer, it didn't even need to calibrate its fire.

The four gun muzzles blasted out blazing flames, and after a two-second pause, they fired a second round!
