Chapter 61: Only Waiting for the East Wind
‘Black Hawk’ Gao Rui is in his early fifties this year.
He looked at the fire in the student camp below, finishing the red wine in his glass.
The red wine was brought from ‘Ghost Hair City’, where Gao Rui lived for most of his life before it became off-limits.
He was quite familiar with the city.
Otherwise.
It would also be difficult to quickly gather the first and most crucial supplies and lay the foundation for ‘Black Hawk Company’ before the base took shape, relying on the advantage of a familiar environment.
This laid the cornerstone for ‘Black Hawk Company’.
Gao Rui gazed into the depths of the night.
Looked at the tallest building in ‘Ghost Hair City’.
That’s the ‘Sky City’.
A landmark building in the city.
"Someday, I will sit on top of it and drink wine."
Gao Rui habitually sets a goal for himself.
He believes people need goals, to know what they want.
So they won’t waste time and squander their days.
He always feels he lives more consciously than others.
Just like recently.
He took on a big task.
Everyone thought he was crazy.
Only he knew what he wanted.
Gao Rui drank up the alcohol in his glass and walked to the desk.
In the office, apart from him.
There were two others.
One was as fat as a meat mountain with a shiny bald head covered in densely packed scriptures.
The other had a face like a donkey, ugly and fierce-looking, chewing on something unknown.
These were Gao Rui’s strong arms.
The two most effective action supervisors.
The first one is unnamed, and everyone who knows him calls him ‘Monk’.
Because he likes to preach to others, especially to the dead.
Always smelling of alcohol, he never turns down a meal without meat.
The other one is called ‘Donkey Laosi’.
This is obviously not his real name, but no one cares what his real name is.
In the base, a code name is all that matters.
"Boss." Donkey Laosi handed Gao Rui a cigarette and lit it for him. "Something happened at the base today."
"One of Night Falcon’s men got killed."
"They say the ones who killed were the students downstairs."
Gao Rui raised his eyebrows, "Oh, do those greenhouse flowers dare to kill people too?"
"No wonder they dare to bring it to the surface and even go to the forbidden area for real combat."
‘Monk’ then said in a muffled voice, "Boss, Night Falcon’s side is asking for an explanation from us."
"They said if we don’t hand over the murderer, they will find another buyer for that batch of goods."
Gao Rui chuckled, "Monk, how did you handle it then?"
"I reasoned with them."
"Now they have all gone to hell to repent."
The monk’s eyes, squinted together by the flesh, slightly opened a crack.
In the crack, a sharp flash like a knife passed by.
Gao Rui nodded, "That’s how we should do it."
"It’s a big deal. Night Falcon wanted to hold me back at a critical moment. Such a clueless guy deserves to be eliminated."
Donkey Laosi lowered his voice and said, "Boss, the stuff has been sent over from Guangling."
"Do you want to go see it yourself?"
Gao Rui calmly replied, "No need, after all these years, can’t I trust you?"
"In short, everything is ready, just waiting for the right moment."
Donkey Laosi exchanged a glance with the monk, and they both smiled awkwardly.
……
The next day.
The convoy from the academy split into four teams and left the base in an orderly manner.
Sitting in the car, Luo Yan heard the broadcast from the base.
"An announcement is now being made."
"From today onward, ‘Falcon Base’ suspends all activities related to the restricted area."
"Individuals or groups are forbidden from entering the restricted area for exploration."
"It will last for one week."
"If there is any violation, once discovered, immediate expulsion will be enforced, never to re-enter the base again."
The broadcast repeated.
Along the way.
Even separated by the car window.
Luo Yan could also hear the residents’ complaints outside.
He had lived on the surface before.
He could understand the residents’ frustrations.
These people were all making a living in the forbidden zone.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have to move into ‘Falcon Base’.
Now they were told not to work for a week.
And there was no mention of compensating for the losses.
It’s strange that they didn’t complain.
In fact.
The academy is conducting a combat test here.
Compensation has already been given to the ‘Hunting Base’.
But whether ‘Black Hawk Company’ will distribute it is not the concern of the academy.
Soon, four convoys had left the base.
Each convoy included three mecha transport vehicles, one armored command vehicle, two logistics vehicles, two mecha repair vehicles, and eight guard vehicles.
Sitting in the vehicle carrying ‘White Dragon’.
Luo Yan watched as several convoys gradually dispersed in the wilderness outside the window.
He picked up the communicator and said, "Teacher Wei said that in this test, the four teams are competing against each other."
"The team with the highest score in the test will receive an extra big prize."
"Also, the test begins as soon as we leave the base."
"Then why don’t we attack other convoys?"
"Just need to stop their movements."
"Destroy their mechas."
"Wouldn’t our chances of getting first place increase?"
Inside the communicator, several tactical staff members’ voices sounded.
"Classmate Luo, your strategy… haha, a bit wild."
"This is a school test. If you are capable, you should display your skills in the forbidden area, not use them against your own people."
"The only one who could come up with such a plan was Classmate Luo."
But at this moment…
However, a voice from the communication device disagreed, "I actually think we should consider Classmate Luo’s opinion."
It was Li Bohang’s voice.
"We just need to carefully consider which team to support."
Suddenly…
There was an outburst on the communication channel.
"Classmate Li, are you serious?"
"Do we really need to be so mean?"
"What glory is there in being first like this?"
At a time when opinions were not unified among the crowd.
Zeng Shan’s voice came over the channel, "Quick, look at the second-grade team."
"They have started unfolding the carriage of their mecha transport vehicle!"
Luo Yan suddenly looked out the window.
Sure enough.
Not far from their team, in a convoy of second graders, a carriage of a transport vehicle was opening.
Seeing this, Luo Yan decisively jumped up from his position and ran towards the mecha storage compartment.
He ran while taking off his coat, revealing the driver’s suit he was already wearing inside.
When he put on the Bluetooth earpiece, he heard chaos on the communication channel.
"What? Are the second graders crazy? Do they really plan to deploy a mecha at this time?"
"Which team are they going to deal with?"
"I think you guys are too nervous, they must have malfunctioned."
The communication channel was in a mess.
Obviously, these students have not yet gotten into the groove.
Luo Yan immediately shouted fiercely on the channel, "Shut up if you don’t want to die!"
The channel instantly became quiet.
Luo Yan continued, "I’m ready to strike now."
"Bob, Zeng Shan."
"You two stand by."
Meanwhile.
Luo Yan entered the cockpit of ‘White Dragon’.
He put on the helmet that was nearby.
Then, with the help of the instruments, he connected the neural wires of the mecha to the interface driver of the pilot suit.
Next, he pressed the ‘Synergy’ button on the float sensor.
Through the neural wires, he began to synchronize with the mecha!
