The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 136

Chapter 136


Tedramira River divided into branches flowing through Cloud Valley and eventually reaching the sea .

The location where Han Xiao had landed was on the edge of Cloud Valley . According to the information from the Dark Net Organization, Germinal's evacuating land troops would converge with their maritime troops after passing through the valley .

Han Xiao's target was to intercept the land troops . He was clear that the two countries would have planted their land troops in ambush; it was highly possible that the troops were placed within Cloud Valley . If he got any closer, he would be discovered . At this juncture, he did not wish to be in contact with the two countries .

Looks like I'll have to choose a good spot .

With that thought in his mind, Han Xiao folded his arms and watched Fabian's team assemble the truck's front and frame . They also hung up the mechanical equipment in the cargo properly . While they were working, they were shockingly watching Frenzied Sword seductively dancing at one side .

"The item is delivered . I'll get going now . "

"Alright, send Matthews my regards . " Han Xiao nodded with a smile .

Antonio waved before rising into the sky on his helicopter and disappeared swiftly over the horizon . The Fabian Company was only responsible for the transport of weapons and ammunition and had never taken part in battles .

Han Xiao sat inside the truck and took a look at the detailed map that had been sent over through the Dark Net . He was about to drive off when his phone rang .

"Hello . "

"Black Phantom, you're joining in the Germinal commotion?" Bennett asked over the phone, surprised .

"Yes, you should come and play, too," Han Xiao jokingly replied .

"The Dark Net has always been neutral; don't go overboard . The Germinal Organization is a crazy bunch of old hags; they'll attack whoever they see . I'm very frustrated because of them," Bennett said helplessly .

"Don't worry, I've never cheated my teammate . "

Bennett doubted his words . "Forget it, anyway, I will need your help with some matters later on . "

Over these past two months, Han Xiao had often called Bennett to keep in touch since he had Bennett's number . Furthermore, with Han Xiao's growing fame, Bennett was more than happy to converse with him . Hence, the relationship between the two of them was good .

After pocketing his phone, Han Xiao shook his head, stepped on the accelerator, and drove along the edge of the valley toward the area of his selected spot .

…

The river flowing through Cloud Valley provided moisture for the fertile soil . The terrain was relatively diversified; there were plains with shallow grasses, forests and hills . The scenery was beautiful; it calmed and relaxed one's mind, compelling people to put down all their hatred and troubles .

Stardragon had a massive amount of land troops lying in ambush in the area, and they were armed with all kinds of battle equipment—tanks, attack helicopters, a coverage array of medium-distance guided missiles, and also a large number of minefields .

The commander of the land troops was a Stardragon official known as Huang Qiuming who had over twenty years of military service . His style was serious and meticulous . The reason Stardragon's higher-ups had decided to use him was because they had taken a liking to Huang Qiuming's stable style . As long as this battle followed the plan, victory is assured .

In the command vehicle's position, Huang Qiuming looked at the map filled with markings and nodded expressionlessly .

"Everything is in order; the first layer of ambush is a minefield . If Germinal do not come in, they will miss their chance to meet with the maritime forces . Therefore, even if they are aware of the traps, they will still have to advance forward . The armed helicopter troops are always on standby; they can attack the minesweeper enemy troops from above, and the array of missile vehicles is always aiming at the edge of the woods . Once the enemy crosses the woods, we can strike…"

As long as everything went according to the plan, the enemy would have no way to escape .

…



The evacuating Germinal troops in the Southern Continent formed a large fleet with hundreds of different tanks; this huge army consisted of all the survivors of the retreating troops .

Lin Yu was the chief commander while the person in charge of the land troops was a white man known as Ugar .

Ugar was well aware that the troops were about to be ambushed . In order to keep up with the maritime forces, they had to pass through Cloud Valley . Hence, they were unable to avoid this confrontation . However, he had already made preparations for it; the evacuation troops of these bases carried with them new weapons, and some were rather formidable, definitely able to catch the enemy by surprise .

All these experimental weapons were important goods, and they even had some secret weapons who had undergone human experiments, specifically, the [Super Soldier Project] .

…

After one big lap, the truck stopped at the edge on the other side of Cloud Valley . The tip-off had shown that this was a route that the Germinal land troops were unable to take as it was very far away .

Han Xiao did not enter the woods and took out a pile of spider detectors, more than forty in fact . They were activated through his tablet computer and started vibrating . They looked like a bunch of troops waiting for orders .

After two months of accumulation, Han Xiao's skills had improved again; thus, his existing machinery had been renewed and strengthened . The spider detector was equipped with a low-level smart chip that automatically detected threats and fed them back to the computer . Hence, there was no need for Han Xiao to constantly refer to the screen . By adding a new drawing SUI anti-radar detection coating, it could better conceal its tracks, which was suitable for designated surveillance .

Han Xiao sent most of the spider detectors into the woods and left a few to advance in the opposite direction to scout for the Germinal Organization's arrival .

While doing this job, Frenzied Sword got off the truck and noticed an extra line of words appearing in the status column .

"What the hell is this?" Frenzied Sword was flabbergasted . The experience feel he set was twenty percent true . He did not fully experience the thrill of the old driver's driving skills, but the interface showed his physical state truthfully .

"Need me to do anything?" Frenzied Sword asked, thinking he could trigger a mission .

Han Xiao shook his head . "Not at the moment . "

Frenzied Sword's combat strength was too low for this type of battle . He would only be useful as fearless cannon fodder .

Various minefields and radar detections had been laid in the woods a long time ago . Anyone entering the area would draw attention . Patience, adequate preparation, perfect planning, and calibrating other mechanical weapons were all he needed to do for the time being .

There were still a few days before the arrival of the Germinal Organization's troops . Han Xiao had been preparing and waiting in the van . Frenzied Sword was by his side, receiving small tasks from him every day .

Even though he thought that Frenzied Sword had potential, he would not groom Frenzied Sword fully . The EXP he gave Frenzied Sword was limited compared to those players in the same period, yet Frenzied Sword was extremely satisfied .

Han Xiao was also reading the forum every day; the players were still as enthusiastic as before . He mainly paid attention to the Aquamarine section to know the progress of the players . It was still the novice phase . After they had grown, there would be a huge event that targeted the players waiting for them, and that was the prelude to the chaos .

Does me disrupting the quest mean that the player's misfortunes will be delayed… or will they be brought forward?

Han Xiao rubbed his beard stubble, silently pondering . That was the first time the players had raised the attention of major forces on the planet . He still remembered that the previous generations had caused a ruckus that resulted in an extensive discussion, which was highly praised .

…



The moon was covered by dark clouds, and there was a thick fog that made it impossible to make out one's own hand .

Spider No . 1 was in the plains under the night sky, motionless, and faithfully executing the orders in sequence .

Boom!

The ground suddenly vibrated, and Spider No . 1's sensor felt the tremors . The detector immediately charged toward the direction of the vibrations .

A huge fleet of Germinal Troops could be seen in the distance, and Spider No . 1 was right in their path .

Spider No . 1 loyally transmitted out an alarm signal in the form of electric waves .

The vehicle was nearing, yet Spider No . 1 foolishly remained, not knowing to hide .

Whoosh!

The huge fleet rapidly rolled passed, leaving a cloud of smoke behind .

It was not until the smoke and dust dispersed that the appearance of Spider No . 1 could be made out .

Its body was covered in dust, yet it was not damaged in any ways; it seemed like the compressed wheels surprisingly did not grind over it at all .

Spider No . 1 moved its limbs and turned around before continuing to follow its orders and dumbly following the fleet .
