Chapter 181: Mechanical Exoskeleton—Hero Armor
In the transport plane.
Ye s.h.i.+ said, “All soldiers, pay attention. We are about to reach our destination. Please check again if the Hero Armor on your body is functioning normally.”
The Hero Armor was specially made for the members of the Hero Company. It was a mechanical exoskeleton armor that could both attack and defend. It was very powerful.
The armor was fiery red in color and looked like the outer sh.e.l.l of a beetle. It had the s.h.i.+ne of metals.
The armor weighed about 50 kilograms. An ordinary person would not be able to wear such heavy armor.
But it was not difficult for the soldiers of Hero Company.
They were no longer weak university students. On the contrary, their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people’s and could easily withstand the weight of the armor.
Ever since they were selected from the universities, they had been undergoing martial arts training. After going through many tests, they finally became a part of the Hero Company.
After a few minutes of inspection and confirming no abnormalities, the transport plane followed the Black Tiger Battalion’s fighter jets and successfully arrived above the New Roe’s coastline.
“Warriors of the Hero Company, we are about to enter the battlefield. Please bring out 100% of your energy.
“Other than the college entrance examination, this is another huge challenge for all of you. I hope that all of you can come back alive.”
Ye s.h.i.+ was very direct. As soldiers, they had to face the harsh reality.
For a time, fear covered their young faces.
“Senior, I’m so scared.”
Sun Lingxiao stood beside Zhao Xuanxuan, her face pale and her body trembling.
Joining the Hero Company was her own choice. Even now, she had no regrets.
When she heard that she was going to the battlefield, she tried her best to overcome the fear in her heart, but she became cowardly when she really had to face it.
Zhao Xuanxuan patted the back of Sun Lingxiao’s hand, “Lingxiao, don’t be afraid.
“I promised your grandmother that I would protect you and bring you back safely. ”
Zhao Xuanxuan’s eyes were filled with determination. It made one feel very safe.
Instantly, Sun Lingxiao felt much better.
At this moment, a hairband with a conch adornment on Zhao Xuanxuan’s head suddenly sparkled.
Zhao Xuanxuan’s eyes lit up, and she heard Qin Chuan’s voice in her mind.
“Xuanxuan, have you reached the battlefield?”
“Brother, we are already above the battlefield. Will you come?”
“It is not easy for me to go over with my current ident.i.ty, but I will get Huang Huang and the Bamboo Spirit to go over, they will ensure your safety.”
“Mm! Alright then!”
After the brief exchange, Zhao Xuanxuan was a little disappointed because Qin Chuan wasn’t coming.
Just then, the transport plane stopped and hovered in midair.
“Once you enter the battlefield, you will listen to the commands of General Gao of the Black Tiger Battalion. I hope you won’t disgrace the reputation of the Hero Company.
“Now I’m handing command over to General Gao.”
As soon as Ye s.h.i.+ finished speaking, the communication system on all the soldiers became connected to Gao Tianliang’s side.
Gao Tianliang said, “Soldiers of the Hero Company, h.e.l.lo. I’m Gao Tianliang from the Black Tiger Battalion. You will be under my command now.
“I believe General Ye has emphasized cautions and discipline on the battlefield, so I won’t repeat them.
“But I still have to emphasize something. Military orders must be obeyed unconditionally. Violators will be severely punished.
“Let’s cut to the chase and get straight to the point.
“Our mission this time is to annihilate a special type of creature.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few rays of light shot out from the surface of the Hero Armor and condensed to form a holographic image.
When they saw the creatures in the image, everyone’s faces were filled with puzzlement and shock.
Gao Tianliang said, “This is the creature we want to annihilate.
“They come from the Yun Country and are mutated creatures known as the experimental subjects.
“They are extremely fast and powerful.
“Although they are land creatures, they can breathe underwater like fish.
“In addition, the experimental subjects’ bodies are covered with a layer of white scales. Ordinary firearms will not be able to cause any damage to them.
“Therefore, this extermination mission will not be easy.
“This is your first time on the battlefield. You are all new recruits and have no experience. Therefore, you must obey orders. I will do my best to ensure your safety.”
After saying that, Gao Tianliang made some adjustments to the Hero Company. Because the Black Tiger Battalion had six companies, he divided the Hero Company into six groups of fifty people to be merged with Black Tiger’s companies.
“Team One, go to 1st Company!”
“Team Two to 2nd Company!”
“Team Three, go to 3rd Company!”
…
Zhao Xuanxuan and Sun Lingxiao were in group five, so they were a.s.signed to the 5th Company.
After they were allocated, the company commanders of each company connected to their communications system.
A few minutes later, the cabin doors opened. There was a road below and a beach beside it.
“All soldiers, to the battlefield.”
Gao Tianliang gave the order, and the soldiers lined up in three rows at the cabin door.
Then, as if they were dumplings being dropped into a pot, they jumped off in an orderly manner.
The transport plane was about 500 meters away from the ground. If a normal person didn’t have a parachute with them, they would definitely turn into a pile of mush if they jumped down.
The members of the Hero Company equipped themselves with battle armor and used a high-alt.i.tude landing system.
When they reached a certain alt.i.tude, the landing system started working.
A few ejectors on the surface of the armor would shoot out flames. They would adjust the body while controlling the speed to ensure a safe landing.
The soldiers had undergone many high-alt.i.tude landing exercises.
Hence, to them, the landing wasn’t a big problem.
As the ejectors on the armor gradually unfolded, they were like fireworks in the night sky, floating down slowly. It was a magnificent sight.
Not long after, the members of the Hero Company arrived safely on the ground one after another.
At this moment, the people from the Black Tiger Camp were already waiting here.
The members of the Hero Company followed the instructions and quickly found their respective companies.
“Lingxiao, follow me closely.” Zhao Xuanxuan and Sun Lingxiao walked together.
After they arrived at the 5th Company, the company commander registered them.
The company commander said in surprise, “It’s actually two young ladies. You guys go to the middle of the company.”
Hence, Zhao Xuanxuan and Sun Lingxiao immediately ran into the group.
For a time, all eyes were on them.
“I’ve long heard of girls in Hero Company. I didn’t expect them to be so good-looking,” someone commented.
“Ertiao, are you interested?” someone hooted.
“Ertiao, you have to protect them well!”
Ertiao growled, “Get lost!”
“Ertiao, don’t be shy! Be brave and seize the opportunity.”
“Yeah! And we promise we won’t fight with you.”
“You people…” Ertiao despised them and couldn’t be bothered with them.
At this moment, the company commander suddenly shouted, “Ertiao, I’ll leave the two young ladies from the Hero Company to you. Remember to protect them well.”
Ertiao immediately froze.
Suddenly, his comrades around him started cheering as if they were giving him their blessings.
Ertiao was helpless, but since it was the company commander’s order, he had to obey.
He approached Zhao Xuanxuan and Sun Lingxiao and introduced himself, “h.e.l.lo, I’m w.a.n.g Ertiao of the Black Tiger Battalion, you can call me Ertiao.”
Zhao Xuanxuan and Sun Lingxiao nodded.
They introduced themselves too.
“Hero Company, Zhao Xuanxuan.”
“Hero Company, Sun Lingxiao.”
w.a.n.g Ertiao reminded them, “When we go to the frontline later, follow me. Don’t wander around.”
“Understood!”
…
A few minutes later, all the soldiers were registered.
Following the command, everyone rushed to the beach.
