Chapter 1304: Action Begins!
The shuttle's hatch slowly opened.
Below is a cluster of buildings in the city.
There were only a few streetlights and lighting equipment.
Before we knew it, it had gotten dark.
We entered the night on this planet.
"Remember to avoid enemy reconnaissance equipment and expose our operations as late as possible."
Our battle plan is simple.
"Infiltrate the enemy's mech unit's warehouse in the shortest possible time." Zhao Chen pointed to the largest warehouse-like building.
“But mechs are usually equipped with passwords, and they cannot be started unless someone is a member of our own side and their identity information is verified,” Colonel Zhao Jie asked worriedly from the side.
“Leave this to me,” Zhao Chen said.
Colonel Zhao Jie frowned, as if he wanted to say something.
He was interrupted by Song Chen beside him: "Follow Zhao Chen's orders."
Within your squad, everyone must unconditionally obey Zhao Chen's orders.
Don't make me repeat myself a third time.
Upon hearing the leader's words, Colonel Zhao Jie could only keep quiet.
"Land in this area if possible, at the base of that tall building in Area A."
"Is there a problem?" Zhao Chen looked at the five people.
“No problem,” the five replied.
But some of them still swallowed hard, after all, this was a hundred meters in the air.
"Operation begins." As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, he was the first to pull out of the cockpit.
The five of them then jumped down as well.
The soldiers in the back cabin broke out in a cold sweat as they watched the men leap into the air.
Wearing only simple armor and without any other landing aids, jumping off like that... would result in serious injury, if not death.
In the past, such airborne missions required soldiers wearing individual exoskeleton combat armor to carry disposable airborne deceleration devices to ensure a safe landing.
In the darkness of night.
Zhao Chen adjusted his descent in mid-air to control the direction of his fall.
We gradually approached that tall building.
At this moment, Zhao Chen was already moving very fast. If he fell to the ground at this speed, even Zhao Chen would be in serious trouble.
Just as Zhao Chen was about to crash into the building.
Zhao Chen drew his lightsaber and activated his mental power.
The lightsaber blade shot out and pierced directly into the building.
Based on previous observations, most of the buildings here have facades made of a rock-like material.
The side they chose to land on doesn't have glass, so it won't have a significant impact.
This suddenly reduced Zhao Chen's falling speed.
But the next second, Zhao Chen retracted his lightsaber.
Because if friction continues to slow down, the resulting sparks will inevitably attract the enemy's attention.
After that, Zhao Chen used this method to slow himself down three more times.
Finally, he successfully reached a position about ten meters above the ground.
But he didn't land immediately; instead, he looked up at the sky.
In the darkness, his gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and he immediately spotted the figures of the other five people.
Zhao Jie's operation went smoothly; he had learned from Zhao Chen's techniques and landed successfully.
The remaining few people, after some stumbling and bumping along, didn't have any major problems.
However, one of them was falling at a significantly faster speed.
Perhaps due to excessive tension, he was unable to reliably activate the lightsaber.
At that speed, if it crashed to the ground, regardless of whether it would kill or not, it would cause a huge commotion.
Zhao Chen's eyes narrowed.
He suddenly activated his lightsaber, and the blade continued to lengthen.
Finally, the moment he made contact with the soldier, Zhao Chen lifted him up.
Then it landed steadily on the ground.
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"
"That colonel, could he be from the Space Marine Corps?"
"But I heard that he pilots starfighters and is an ace pilot."
"Did you see that just now? The length of that lightsaber increased to about ten meters in an instant."
Listening to the soldiers' discussions inside the cabin.
Song Chen stared at the figure in the darkness.
Zhao Chen.
He previously claimed to have activated a 40-meter lightsaber, but that was purely coincidental.
They really know how to hide it.
Who exactly are you?
How could it possibly appear in my fleet?
What exactly is your purpose?
Once this is over, I will make you explain yourself clearly!
Song Chen, the leader of the Star Alliance, has already set his sights on Zhao Chen.
"Let's go."
"Proceed according to the original plan." Song Chen looked at his shuttle pilot.
"yes."
The shuttle's hatch closed, and it began to slowly fly towards the other end of the city, where the interstellar communication tower was located.
This is also a crucial location for their mission.
............
"Check your equipment and your own condition," Zhao Chen said to the five members of the team.
"Number one is normal."
"Number two is normal."
"Number 3... I have a leg cramp, let me rest for a bit."
"Number four... let me... throw up for a bit..."
"Number Five, I... gulp... I'm fine."
Number five is the person Zhao Chen just rescued. If it weren't for Zhao Chen's rescue, he would probably have fallen heavily to the ground.
What's wrong with all of you?
"Weren't they all aces of the Interstellar Marine Corps before?" Zhao Jie felt somewhat ashamed seeing these people acting like this.
He also knew the information about these five people, and without exception, they all had a glorious history of service in the Interstellar Marine Corps.
"alright.
Don't speak.
Take a three-minute rest.
Three minutes later, we'll get ready to go.
"Number One and Number Two, be alert to your surroundings," Zhao Chen said coldly.
"yes."
Number one is Zhao Jie, and number two is another former elite interstellar marine captain.
Three minutes.
He should be heading to another mission location soon.
Zhao Chen looked in one direction from their camp.
Within a 300-meter radius in that direction.
This is the combat mech camp, the warehouse where the mechs are parked.
Their mission was to get there.
At the same time, it causes a disturbance.
This attracted the attention of the city's garrison and patrols.
This will create an opportunity for Song Chen's team to seize the communications tower.
Because communication towers have a higher level of defense, they are very difficult to take down through normal attacks.
We need some heavy firepower.
Song Chen had thought of this before, and then thought of the mecha base, but he wasn't entirely confident.
They then asked Zhao Chen for his opinion.
Song Chen's plan is fine, but it needs someone.
And Zhao Chen is naturally that person.
He agreed to the operational plan and would be responsible for its execution.
"Three-minute break time is up."
Let's go now.
"Proceed according to the original combat plan." Zhao Chen looked at the five members of the team: "Remember, in the following operations..."
I will not stop.
If someone gets injured, someone falls behind.
I won't interfere.
Is that clear?
"Understood!" the five members of the team replied, their voices soft but firm.
"Ready to depart."
Draw the enemy's attention and seize their mech!
