Chapter 4 - Modified Mecha

Tian Xingjian looked at the two federal female soldiers staring at him fiercely and felt very depressed. Perhaps in front of the two ugly monsters, the fat man could justifiably and shamelessly say, "I have helped you deal with the people guarding you, so hurry up and run for your lives." However, the two beautiful women in uniforms in front of him made the fat man unable to say it.

If he left them behind, they would definitely not be able to escape, and there is a high possibility that they would be shot dead during the escape or executed after being caught. There are many ways to execute, and the biggest possibility is that they will be "executed" by the imperial soldiers in turn. According to the situation at the base, the purpose of the two female soldiers being escorted here is very obvious. This is the forward base of the Empire [***], and there is no prisoner of war camp built. The fat man can figure out what the two beautiful federal female prisoners are escorted here for with just a little thought.

The soldiers escorting them were killed, whether it was the prisoners or not, they cannot escape responsibility. Moreover, it was well known that Gacharin treated prisoners cruelly. If a prisoner escaped, the Empire would shoot the entire group of prisoners that escaped. Other atrocities, such as burying prisoners alive, burning them, conducting chemical experiments, and locking them in dilapidated civilian space transport ships as targets, were countless.

When the fat man thought of these two beautiful female soldiers like little flowers being tortured by the imperial soldiers, he felt very unbearable, very angry, and even a little jealous. This is a common problem among men. If they can't do some things themselves, they don't want others to do them. However, it is easy to escape from this jungle. If you want to bypass the enemy's patrols and defense lines, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky to successfully escape with two women on a flat land where you can see several kilometers away at a glance.

"You... well, I mean... how were you captured?" The fat man felt that the expressions of the two female soldiers he rescued were very unfriendly. He looked at himself and didn't find anything wrong. He didn't feel ashamed at all for stripping naked in front of others just now.

"The airport northeast of the city was captured, and I was captured there." The beautiful pilot quickly got rid of the embarrassment brought by the fat man's striptease performance, and pointed to another female soldier next to her and said, "She too, she is a medical soldier of the aviation flight brigade."

"What about the city? Where did the enemy attack?" The fat man observed the surroundings vigilantly to make sure that there were no imperial patrols who happened to encounter three poor federal unlucky people, one man and two women.

"The first line of defense was breached last night. The enemy relied on nearly 200 heavy mechas and 500 medium mechas to forcefully rush in from the junction of our two divisions. When the reserve team rushed up to retake the position, it was too late. If the airport had not been occupied by their airborne troops, they would have taken at least a week to break through the first line of defense." The beautiful female pilot paid more attention to her appearance than her life safety. She sat down casually, untied her messy hair, bit the pink rubber band with her mouth, and tried to comb her hair neatly with her hands.

Her movements were very charming, and the fat man took a lot of effort to move his eyes away from her soft and white hands.

"But our situation is not too bad. Although the 6th Marine Division and the 9th Division, which served as the reserve, did not stop the breakthrough of the Gacharin Empire Armored Division, they blocked them for more than three hours, preventing them from making a detour and splitting in the first time. The troops on the first line of defense have basically withdrawn, and the losses are not very large." The beautiful female pilot combed her hair into a ponytail and tied it tightly with a rubber band. She looked full of sunshine and vitality.

"Then between the first and second lines now..." The fat man seemed to see a ray of hope.

"It's not optimistic... It has basically been occupied by the Gacharin Empire. When we came here, except for a few areas that were still resisting, most of the federal troops had been withdrawn to the south of the Supengman River. The enemy is now deploying troops and preparing to attack our second line of defense." The female pilot held her chin with both hands, looking gloomy.

"It's over. What I feared has come true." Fatty lamented in his heart. Although he had deduced the general situation from the actions and arrangements of the imperial army here, he still had a fluke mentality. Now the matter was set. The imperial army was all around. Either he played hide-and-seek with the enemy in the woods until the end of the war, or he could only rely on his own strength to escape back to the second line of defense.

Fatty's expression was uncertain, and his thoughts were turning around. He was already in a difficult situation. If he brought these two burdens with him...

Just when he was thinking about the vicious part, he suddenly felt someone holding his clothes. When he looked up, the pure female medical soldier quietly pulled his clothes. Her half-smile expression seemed to have guessed Fatty's thoughts. There was still a trace of shame and annoyance between her eyebrows about what had just happened, but her clear eyes were full of trust. Fatty surrendered instantly. Fuck you, just die! There is strength in numbers. Maybe he can escape using the old method. But where to escape?

He frowned and thought about the direction of escape. He could not return to the heavily-armed New Rome, and the cities or military bases near New Rome were almost all defended or occupied by the large-scale landing of the Empire [***], so he could not go there either. The only possible safe place should be the capital of this planet, Garipalan City.

Garipalan City is located in the Three Lakes Basin of the planet Milok. In addition to the three huge lakes with a complete ecological chain, the tall mountains around the basin also tightly guard the capital Garipalan. Before destroying the six air bases in the city and more than 300 anti-aircraft missile bases scattered in the mountains, the giant air transport ships of the Empire [***] fleet could not land at all. Without ground troops, occupying the capital was just empty talk.

If the ground troops of the Empire [***] landed outside the basin, facing the complex geological conditions, changeable climate, steep and severe basin mountains, the best land combat mecha would be helpless. To occupy this place, the only way for the Gacharin Empire is to concentrate all air forces to carry out air strikes, destroy the air defense system and force an airborne landing, while forcing the two highways leading to the basin. However, these roads have not only been heavily guarded by the federal army, but the roads themselves are also connected to the mountains. There are countless bridges and tunnels, which allow the defenders to have enough ways to create difficulties for the attack of the Empire.

At least since the large-scale multi-point landing of the Empire, the orders issued by the federal front-line command in the capital Garipalan have not been interrupted for a moment, and the major communication broadcasts in the capital have also been calling on the federal citizens of Milok to resist without limit. This means that the capital has not been hit by a devastating blow.

Even if the capital is occupied, the 100,000 mountains surrounding it are also an ideal hiding place. There are rich vegetation, dense jungles and a wide variety of wild animals. For Tian Xingjian, who has received scout training, it is easy to take two beautiful women into the mountains, build a tree house on the tree, or find a cave to eat some wild game and vegetables. Life is really better than the gods.

After imagining the secluded life of one man and two women, the fat man made up his mind.

"Go north, bypass the enemy's landing base, and then go east to Garipalan." The fat man waved his hands fiercely, encouraging himself with an unwavering tone.

"Garipalan? It's thousands of kilometers away from here!" The female pilot widened her eyes.

"How do we get there?" The innocent female medical soldier asked with some confusion in her big blinking eyes, "There are enemies everywhere outside."

"The Gacharin Empire landed in more than 40 cities at the same time. In addition to surrounding the entire city and dividing the traffic arteries that the federal forces need to guard, they don't need to fully control other blank areas." The fat man felt that he had some military talent. The twenty escape experiences in the past six months made him very familiar with the combat methods of the imperial army. He continued in a positive tone, "These empty areas are too big for them to care about. They only have their eyes on our cities and military bases. As long as they keep their eyes on these targets, it will be enough for them. Without the supply from the city, these barren areas will not be able to generate any resistance. They don't care."

"Besides, they don't have enough troops." The fat man said while thinking, and his understanding of the whole situation became clearer and clearer: "They have to control the four immigrant planets in the Galileo Galaxy that they have already occupied and Miloc 2 in the Newton Galaxy. These five planets occupy most of their ground forces. This planet should be the end point of this campaign of the Gacharin Empire. The time is too short. They need time to completely control these six immigrant planets." "

In the past, they would choose the most important cities on the planet for forced landing, tear the defenses between the cities on the entire planet into several rags that could not echo each other, and then carry out a comprehensive landing, using superior forces to form an all-round encirclement of the immigrant cities. But this time, their all-round landing only targeted forty of the more than sixty cities, which means that they do not have enough troops, or the follow-up troops are still on the way, and cannot strike all the cities when the airborne is implemented." The fat man confirmed his reasoning and got a conclusion that shocked him.

He did not continue. This inference made him shudder. He thought: "Such a landing can only be implemented to the greatest extent if the ground forces and defense bases are accurately struck. Accurately destroy the ground defense, and then use the least amount of troops to achieve the siege and occupation of the city. There are many bases hidden under the ground or in the mountains, but they were all destroyed without exception. The two space fleets responsible for the defense of the Galileo galaxy were defeated too quickly, almost collapsing at the first blow. It seems that the top leaders of the Federation have internal annihilation. The military layout of the six immigrant planets is not accessible to ordinary people."

With a change of mind, the fat man's firm retreat plan began to waver again: "Then, the defense of the capital Garipalan..." The fat man felt too depressed. It was really troublesome for a mechanical repairman to consider such a difficult problem.

"A problem that a mechanical repairman can think of, the command can also think of it!" He comforted himself, thinking that his idea of ​​worrying about the ancients was a little ridiculous.

"But you haven't told us how to escape from here." The female pilot was a little anxious.

Tian Xingjian pointed to the destroyed and abandoned mechas of both sides on the battlefield not far away and said, "I think I can piece together a vehicle using the parts of these guys. Now that this place has become the enemy's forward base, the base where the giant transport ship landed in the north should be gradually abandoned, and materials and manpower will be transferred to various forward bases like this one." He pointed to several vaguely visible mountains in the north and said, "The further north we go, the looser their defenses will be. As long as we have a chance to escape across the plain north of the jungle and get into the jungle under the mountain over there, we can get out of the control of the Imperial Army."

"What should we do now?" the innocent female medical soldier asked softly.

"Let's wait until it's dark. Let's dig a hole together at night after we've rested enough. Hehe, I can't do this alone." After saying that, the bitch asked with a lewd look on his face, "Who will sleep with me? It's very warm."

The two female soldiers automatically ignored the fat man's teasing. The three of them dug a hole in the bushes on the other side of the jungle far away from the Empire's forward base to rest and wait for dark. Tian Xingjian spent a lot of time to make several traps outside the hole, and camouflaged it perfectly with branches.

The three of them huddled together and waited for dark. Although the fat man was mean, it was the first time for him to have such close contact with a woman. With psychological barriers, he was not so shameless and justified. Instead, he tried to stick his body to the edge of the hole wall and closed his eyes to pretend to be asleep.

The two female soldiers actually had no worries. Before being rescued by the fat man, they almost didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be after being escorted to the base. They knew exactly how they would be dealt with - round-up and then executed. They would even die before the execution. That kind of fear made people unable to breathe.

They didn't know if they had the courage to commit suicide. At least before being rescued by the fat man, they didn't even have the chance to commit suicide.

When Tian Xingjian jumped up from the bushes, in their minds, this fat man who was a little bit stupid, a little bit cruel, and a little bit mean had become their backbone.

The disappearance of the escorted soldiers triggered a large-scale search in the imperial base as night approached. However, this search ended quickly. Under what circumstances would a male soldier escort two female soldiers who had no ability to resist disappear? The imperial soldiers exchanged their views on the disappearance case with a tacit look. These two women had nothing to do with them. They were the prey of the superiors. Some soldiers even gloated a little.

Even such a sloppy search made the fat man tremble with fear. He climbed on the wall of the cave with concentration and calmness, using his ears to capture every slight sound around him. An imperial soldier approached the bushes, but the branches and thorns made the soldier quickly give up the idea of ​​entering the bushes. He carefully observed the outside of the bushes and found no signs of anyone passing by, so he turned and left.

The fat man breathed a sigh of relief. When his tense body relaxed, he suddenly found two soft bodies leaning against him. The exposed forearm was in close contact with the female soldier's skin. The indescribable ecstasy made the virgin fat man intoxicated.

"Hey, we don't know your name yet." The female medical soldier said softly and faintly.

"This... My name is Tian Xingjian, corporal of the first squad of the logistics squadron of the third armored battalion of the fifth division." The fat man's voice was very restrained and a little trembling, which was the result of the numb feeling on his arm.

"My name is Meiduo." The female medical soldier's voice was still soft: "Her name is Nia."

The female pilot Nia seemed to be almost asleep. When she heard her name, she hummed in a half-awake state.

At night, the sky was completely dark. The only star in the Newtonian system, also known as the sun, disappeared below the horizon. The planet without the moon as a companion star was pitch black. Fatty touched the edge of a mecha wreckage and quickly disassembled the parts he needed with a mechanical arm. The hard training in the mechanical maintenance training camp made Fatty familiar with the structure of various mechas. The disassembly work was like butchering a cow, fast and without a trace.

The two female soldiers were assigned by Fatty to dig a hole. They had to dig a hole three meters deep, five meters long and five meters wide under the hole where they were hiding. This would become the underground studio where Fatty assembled and hid the transportation.

In the next two days, Tian Xingjian dragged the disassembled mecha parts back to the hole bit by bit like a mouse that hid during the day and came out at night. He even found some dry food, which temporarily solved the problem of the two female soldiers not eating unknown animals or insects.

The work of the two female mice was also fruitful. They dug the underground cave beautifully and handled the excavated soil carefully. Even Fatty felt that they were very talented in digging holes.

Using the disassembled armor soundproof tiles to make the soundproof device of the cave, Fatty began to concentrate on making his means of transportation. He first assembled a cabin that could accommodate three people with a dismantled Empire single-soldier mecha cabin, dismantled the Empire's small energy engine, and installed three powerful Federation Honor 15 energy engines. One of them will provide the energy required for the energy shield.

It should be noted that the energy engine of this era is very different from the various fuel engines before humans entered space. The invention of high-compression solid energy, high-energy storage batteries and ultra-light alloy micro-kinetic cabins has brought about earth-shaking changes in the engine. A heavy engine made of ultra-light alloy can be carried by one person. The weight of the mecha is all on the armor. No one will use the expensive super alloy to make the surface armor of the land combat mecha. In addition to the anti-gravity devices that require huge energy and cannot be solved due to the level of technology, which have a huge size and weight, ordinary power devices have been fully miniaturized, but the power they generate is dozens or hundreds of times more than before.

Then, Tian Xingjian installed various undamaged instruments in the cabin. He still used the control system of the Holy Armor 22 single-soldier mecha of the Gacharin Empire, but the computer was removed by him, and all the control and instruments were changed to manual. He added six automatic landing mechanical legs to the roots of the two mechanical legs of the Empire's single-soldier armor. When not in use, they were retracted to the abdomen of the mecha and could not be seen at all.

The missile launchers on both sides of the mecha were changed by him into jet auxiliary power propulsion devices. This is the change that Tian Xingjian is most proud of. Anyway, there are no missiles to use, and the appearance has not changed at all. It's just that missiles cannot be automatically loaded during combat. The

energy defense shield took the fat man a lot of effort. If this mecha that sacrificed all its attack capabilities and most of the external armor was not equipped with an energy defense shield, it would be killed by one shot. However, the special requirements for the energy shield installation took the fat man a lot of thought. In the end, he barely formed a bunny tail behind the mecha that was invisible if you didn't pay attention. This was the transmission probe of the energy shield. To make it one step at a time, the fat man also installed a spare probe between the two mechanical legs. While installing it, this bitch looked at the two female soldiers and laughed. Nia and Meiduo were angry and amused. They wanted to chop open the head of this wretched fat man with an axe to see what was inside.

Soon, the Gacharin Empire Holy Armor 22 single-soldier mecha with almost no changes in appearance was completed. Nia and Meiduo were completely shocked by the fat man's dazzling performance. The fantastic and reasonable transformation, the speed of his hands, and the familiarity with the structure of each part of the mecha made the two female soldiers unable to believe that the fat man was just a mechanical repairman. He could be called a mecha expert. In his hands, modifying a mecha is as easy as playing with building blocks. How much knowledge is needed to integrate the completely different instruments and parts of the Empire and the Federation so seamlessly! This unremarkable fat man is simply a genius among geniuses. Of

course, the fat man is a genius, but he is not a genius among geniuses. It's just that if a genius uses these parts to assemble countless strange things in more than 20 escapes, he can become a genius among geniuses. The

fat man will not tell the two female soldiers about these embarrassing escapes. He really enjoys the feeling of being looked at with surprise and admiration. This greatly satisfies his vanity.

The remaining problem is energy and how to find an opportunity to escape.

Next to the original base of the federal army, there is a large block of highly compressed energy buried by Tian Xingjian. The burial place was chosen under a big tree with huge roots and stems intertwined and exposed on the ground. Since the original base was full of ashes and debris left after the fat man set fire, the new base of the Empire naturally avoided this place and chose a dense forest in the south of the jungle near the original federal artillery base, which was convenient for hiding mecha materials.

At night, Tian Xingjian secretly dug out the energy block and machine gun, and asked two female soldiers to transport the energy block back to the cave. Fatty decided to create some chaos for the Empire team to facilitate his escape.

Using a small cart with bearings as wheels to pull the machine gun, he carefully avoided the patrol soldiers of the Empire team and took a long detour. The three-step concealed way of moving took him almost half the night, and finally came to a small slope in the southwest corner of the Empire base. The energy machine gun was set up and aimed at a row of temporary barracks at the Imperial base. He installed the simple remote control that he had modified with the remote sensing device in the Imperial Saint Armor 22 single-soldier mecha, and then filled all the broken energy blocks collected from the wreckage into the energy box of the machine gun.

After doing all this, the fat man had an inexplicable excitement after a naughty

boy's prank. "Although I hate killing, I prefer to eat meat. Although I love peace, my life is more precious. I won't die even if you all die." The fat man sneaked back to the cave after making sure that the battlefield recorder had recorded his actions. When he thought of the row of barracks that the machine gun was aimed at, his heartbeat accelerated: "I don't know how many imperial soldiers can be killed. If I can kill two officers, I should be promoted, right?"

It was already four o'clock in the morning when he returned to the cave, and there were still nearly three hours before dawn. The fat man rested for a while and decided to act immediately. If he waited any longer, it would be bad luck if the machine gun was discovered.

After filling the compressed solid energy block into the mecha's energy box, the three of them got into the mecha cabin. Although it was a bit crowded, it did not affect the fat man's control of the mecha. On the contrary, the two hot and tempting bodies beside him made the fat man feel like his soul was flying.

While pressing the switch of the machine gun remote control, the fat man controlled the mecha to break out of the ground. In the distance, the sound of the bombing of the imperial base barracks and the roar of the machine gun could be heard faintly.
