Three days passed quickly. At 11 o'clock in the evening that day, Rhode Island received a notice from Rhine Life that they would conduct reconnaissance on the outskirts of the old city in four hours. At that time, ground troops and air units would act at the same time.
Zhou Jinru came to the temporary command room with red eyes, where Amiya was communicating with several equipment department staff.
"Doctor, we still have two pieces of medical equipment that can enter the dreamland that have not been installed yet. There are currently six pieces of medical equipment that can be put into use. According to the reconnaissance progress, there should be no need to enter the dreamland in advance. After all, Xinxi Tower is responsible for towing Yun’s Origin Stone energy gathering tower is still being debugged.”
"map."
He waved his hand, and a large map was projected on the opposite wall. The clarity was accurate to every street, and you could even zoom in for a closer look.
A dark red oval covers the middle part of the old city, with floating edges and a faint tendency to expand.
Then, a smaller circle appeared in the form of a dotted line.
"Roughly estimated, the expansion rate of the Great Hollow is slower than we expected. The reconnaissance range can be expanded accordingly. The only thing we need to worry about is how strong the monsters in the old city are now."
If Rhine Life was no match for them with so many advanced weapons and equipment, then Zhou Jinru felt that there were not enough people for him. The people who boosted his confidence were Kelsey and an unemployed vagrant Nian.
The big lynx obviously had no intention of leaving, and she acquiesced to Amiya's plan, which proved to be feasible.
As for the year...
Zhou Jinru still couldn't figure out what she was here for.
When the operators from the equipment department left, the atmosphere in the temporary command room was almost frozen. Amiya's little face wrinkled up and she said with self-pity: "Doctor, I obviously made a lot of preparations before starting, including personnel arrangements and material supplies. Communication with friendly forces, but when the battle begins, is still a mess, can I really do it?”
"Of course you can do it. You are our leader. Everyone is watching you."
Zhou Jinru tried his best to appease the anxious rabbit. He described it vividly: "Recall the ship-wide speech you gave before we came to Xinxi Tower. It was very inspiring to the operators. Do you want to do it again?"
The doctor reached out to take the microphone and placed it in front of Amiya, but Little Rabbit held the microphone in his hand, blushed and shook his head, whispering: "No..."
“In times of war, a leader’s speech can bring courage and hope.”
Slowly taking away Amiya's hand, Zhou Jinru turned on the microphone, stretched his fingers, and the harsh volume gradually disappeared, indicating that it was time for Rabbit to start.
The leader of Rhode Island gave him an angry look and spoke the first sentence of his speech:
"Good evening all operators, I am Amiya..."
Except for a slight tremor in her voice at the beginning, her state gradually stabilized, her emotions were passionate, and her tone was sincere, not as self-doubting as she thought.
Zhou Jinru watched with satisfaction as the Carters girl turned from a stranger to a proficient one. She was born this way and it cannot lack of acquired hard work. If she were a person who flinched when encountering difficulties, she would definitely not be sitting where she is today.
And Kelsey would not allow the leader of Rhode Island to be a weak person.
At the end of the speech, there was endless and warm applause outside the command room. Amiya's face was red and she looked at Zhou Jinru inquiringly.
The doctor gave a thumbs up and smiled broadly.
The rabbit tried to calm down and put his little hands on his chest, but his long ears stood up straighter than usual.
…
"Those applause sounds really good. That rabbit in Rhode Island is better than I thought. If I hadn't known about it beforehand, I would have thought she was a puppet you introduced."
"Athos, your mouth is still as broken as before. Amiya is our leader. Do you have any questions?"
Kelsey stared at Silver Fox lying on the hospital bed. After a few days of recovery, her condition was much better than that day. At least her face was not ugly.
Silver Fox snorted: "You came to me, what do you want to know?"
"How did the big hole explode?"
Kelsey's words seemed to step on her tail, and Silver Fox denied it strongly: "I don't know! On the day we took action, we didn't know there was any big hole!"
"It probably wasn't caused by you, but it has a certain connection with your behavior. You don't deny this, right?"
Silver Fox's expression froze and he asked: "What are your guesses?"
"It's an accident. I can only doubt it. After all..." Kelsey looked out the car window, facing the sea. Her eyes were extremely deep and she said softly, "This was once a place where the gods on earth used to explode their divine power to fight against those who couldn't. Where knowledge exists.”
After a long time, Silver Fox showed a bit of a wry smile on his face that was pressed against the gauze. He opened his mouth and said only one helpless word: "Kelsey, I remember you said he absorbed your power, right? No wonder you didn't cause it." Bigger trouble.”
"The question is back to the original point. We were all directly exposed to the power of the God on Earth. Why was he the only one who was safe and sound? All the divine power was absorbed. Is it because he is the defender with the closest serial number to 001?"
As Silver Fox spoke, he suddenly understood something: "No wonder you want to stay here. The area around the old city is very weak and cannot withstand your power. You are afraid of causing a bigger hole!"
"Yes, but it's only half true, because we don't have another chance."
…
When Rheinland Life's operators removed the "Peace Messenger", which was more than three meters tall, more than ten meters long and more than five meters wide, people who had never seen it were shocked by its cold and fierce appearance.
It is powered by two thick tracks and carries multiple tactical turrets. Its powerful firepower can destroy several queues of cavalry. Just looking at the number of weapons, you have to admit that this is a war machine born for killing.
In this operation, Rheinland Life dispatched a total of three Peace Messengers, which can be said to be very wealthy.
"I can't tell you the specific data of this big guy, but I can say that it is one of our greatest achievements in recent years. I like this thing very much. At least it looks safer and more powerful than Victoria's steam mecha. "
Dubin, who was responsible for connecting with Rhine Life, held his breath and slowly approached the Peace Messenger. After receiving permission, he lightly touched its outer armor with his fingers, and he could feel the metal touch through his gloves.
She had an intuition that the speed of this thing would become its fatal weakness, because it was too big and too heavy, and its tracks could easily crush the road surface, making it an absolute public enemy of road administration.
Just like Casimir's heavy cavalry, thick armor can provide excellent defense, but also limits their mobility and flexibility.
