Chapter 85 The Calm Before the Storm (Please subscribe!)

"I really appreciate your rescue, but I still have a mission to complete, so I'll say goodbye now."

After rushing out of the cave and the situation temporarily stabilized, Aikawa Yuan saluted after leaving four pieces of supplies and prepared to leave directly.

Just like her nickname "Battlefield Wanderer" and the position of battlefield supply officer she holds, Aikawa Madoka is destined not to stay in one place for a long time, nor does she need the protection of government forces. She will always appear in the most dangerous place at the most appropriate time, drop off the supplies needed by the government forces, and then leave quietly.

But there is no need to worry about her safety. The sisters Aikawa Madoka and Aikawa Rumi are probably the characters with the most "super luck" in the Metal Slug series, comparable to Li Sanguang, Teammate Ke and others in the "Resident Evil" series.

Not only can they transport all kinds of supplies almost unscathed in the fierce battlefield, but even after being captured by aliens, they can return to Earth and the government forces unscathed with confidential documents.

Aikawa Madoka's backpack does look like it can hold a lot of things, but it's still quite nerve-wracking to see this girl pull out four suitcase-sized objects directly from the backpack.

Putting aside the issue of whether it is heavy or not, just stuffing these four suitcases in is already a problem.

But Cheng Tian and the others saw something interesting here, so they took the initiative to approach the girl before she left the battlefield supplies and was about to leave. Cheng Tian took the lead and asked about the backpack upgrade.

According to the discussions and speculations of several players, Aikawa Madoka's large-space, large-capacity backpack is very likely related to the expansion and upgrading of the inventory.

Although he didn't know what Cheng Tian's military rank was, since Cheng Tian was the actual leader of the team and had saved his life, Aikawa Yuan directly told him the truth.

Her backpack is indeed an extra-capacity backpack, but it is an exclusive item for the military position of "battlefield supply officer". If Cheng Tian wants to get the same backpack, the most direct way is to go to the government army to apply for transfer from the Peregrine Squadron to the battlefield supply department.

From the perspective of military merit, if Cheng Tian could lead the team to complete this meteorite crater mission, it would not be too difficult to make a report and adjust his position. However, the prompt that popped up after he finished speaking made Cheng Tian give up the idea of ​​adjusting his position.

You have learned about the job change to "Battlefield Supply Officer" from the important battlefield NPC "Aikawa Madoka".

If you want to know more specific information, please go to the government army headquarters to make specific inquiries after the main mission is completed.

After successfully opening the profession-related module, Cheng Tian knew for sure that the chosen players had the possibility of changing professions, so his question was not in vain. However, Cheng Tian was definitely not suitable to be a battlefield supply officer.

Even though the backpack with extra capacity was indeed very tempting, Cheng, who was extremely eager for a large-capacity backpack, still remained calm and was not tempted.

Besides, the Aikawa sisters' backpacks seem to be easily broken and things fall out of them...

However, when seeing that Cheng Tian was quite eager for a large-capacity backpack, Aikawa Yuan hesitated for a moment and then revealed this additional information.

"If you require additional storage items similar to military supply backpacks, you can try contacting our intelligence personnel lurking among the rebels."

After saying that, Aikawa Yuan smiled at Cheng Tian, ​​lifted his shoulder straps to make the gray military backpack more stable, then turned around and disappeared into the night.

Cheng Tian, ​​who was watching Aikawa Yuan leave, was thinking about the information revealed by the other party, and soon a light appeared in his eyes.

Because he did subconsciously overlook one point, which is how those government intelligence officers disguised as half-naked old men carried the supply props provided to the players.

In fact, all these supplies were taken out of the stereotypical blue and white striped briefs issued by the Modern Army to these intelligence personnel after they were captured.

That is to say...

Cheng Tian untied his belt and glanced at the strawberry-patterned underwear underneath. Could it be that someone in the government military's intelligence system knew of a tailor who could sew special storage pockets into underwear?
I'm going to have to find out more about this!

As the saying goes, there must be supplies before a war. It is obvious that the four suitcases provided by Aikawa Ensaku are the so-called pre-war supplies.

Peregrine 004 Squad, each member is equipped with an H-gun, which is a heavy machine gun.

[Heavy Machine Gun/H Gun (Mass Production Version): Green Excellent/Lv-, Two-Handed Firearm, Dungeon Only. Requires Strength 10. Reserve Ammo 100/100.

The most commonly used standard weapon of the government army has the highest versatility and the lowest failure rate. It has powerful firepower for a single soldier to suppress the enemy. However, in order to prevent the weapon from being used by the rebels to counterattack themselves, the government army has made it into a disposable version that cannot be refilled with ammunition.

Damage 18-22, fully automatic, fast firing rate, cannot be reloaded. 】

[Additional comment: If you unfortunately die in battle, the probability of the next box containing an H-gun will increase significantly.]

However, Cheng Tian did not give this heavy machine gun, which theoretically could cause about 2000 points of damage if all bullets hit the target, to Wu Tan. Instead, he adjusted the inventory and equipped it himself.

Although he lost 4 points of strength after removing the giant monster's head, the limited achievement given by rescuing the war elephant mammoth gave Cheng Tian 2 more points of strength. 18 points of bare strength corresponded to 180HP. In addition, when riding the war elephant, he could let this big meat shield share 20% of the damage for himself. Cheng Tian's safety was obviously further improved.

"...Isn't it a bit too quiet?"

Little P, who was also checking his current situation, suddenly spoke up.

After his reminder, the others also realized that it was indeed too quiet here.

At this moment, the Peregrine 004 team was located in a position that had passed the outer military camp with the help of a cave and directly arrived at the foot of the cliff near the core area of ​​the mining area. Not far in front of everyone was the mining operation platform built by the Modern Army on the cliff.

Cheng Tian felt that this looked familiar, and he quickly selected the corresponding picture from his mind.

That's the abandoned scene from Metal Slug 3.

Just like movies have deleted scenes, games will also cut the original game process for smooth gameplay, or simply delete and redo some early scenes that are not good enough.

The scene before us is one that requires climbing upwards. To use an example familiar to old players, it is the third level of "Contra", a scene filled with mountain platforms, waterfalls, falling rocks, and intrigues among doubles players.

But that doesn't explain why it's so quiet here.

But at this time, Cheng Tian, ​​who picked up something from the ground and wrapped it in a white coat, suddenly spoke.

"These zombies are different from other biohazards. They are controlled, and since they are controlled, there must be a source of control.

Now it didn't choose to surround us with zombies. One possibility is that it knew it couldn't besieged, so it didn't want to waste time. As for the other possibility..."

Cheng Tian paused and looked at the brightest spotlight above the cliff.

"I'm afraid it's like walking into a trap."
