“Sergeant Su Ming, Captain Li is looking for you.”
Dudian and Zhao Dabao returned to the reporting hall of the base. After they finished checking the registration records on their wristwatches, a young man who was as strong as a bear came to Dudian and asked him to meet Captain Li.
“It’s alright.”Zhao Dabao gave Dudian a look and patted his shoulder.
Dudian nodded and followed the youth through the corridor. A checkpoint was opened like a fan. There was a spacious office inside.
“Captain Li, Sergeant Su Ming has arrived.”The youth pressed his palm on his chest and bowed.
There was a dignified middle-aged man sitting in front of the office. His beard extended from his temples to his chin. He had a deep and masculine face. He looked at the monitor on the desk, he didn’t raise his head: “I know. You can leave first.”
The youth took his leave and left Dudian alone.
“Leader.”Dudian used the same gesture to salute.
The middle-aged man slowly raised his eyes. His eyes were indifferent: “Tell me about Cai Changkang and Sun Yong.”
Dudian took a deep breath and repeated what he had said to Zhao Dabao. But this time it was more detailed. It included how to chase and how to escape.
“One strike struck the abyss of the black lizard...”captain Li’s finger gently tapped on the table. He was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he looked at Dudian with sharp eyes, “So in the end, you became a deserter?”
Dudian quickly said: “Captain, I didn’t escape because I was afraid. I wanted to bring back this information. I think that on the battlefield, not only do you want to die, but you are also a warrior!”
Leader Li slightly raised his eyebrows, he sneered: “As a soldier, you didn’t properly respond to the accident. You didn’t take responsibility afterwards. If everyone was like you and spoke eloquently about running away, how would you fight the war? HMM?”
Dudian was trembling in fear. He didn’t dare to say anything but he was relieved.
“I know your situation. Your Father’s company went bankrupt and he owed a huge debt. You need to pay it back so you urgently need money. However, the battlefield is not a child’s game! Don’t be blinded by money. This time because of your negligence, two of your comrades died. How are you going to face their families?”Captain Li coldly looked at him.
“Captain, Please Punish Me!”Dudian lowered his head.
Captain Li’s eyes gradually converged. He indifferently said: “It’s good that you know your mistakes. Remember, don’t publicize this matter. There are too many things involved. Be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble.”
Dudian nodded: “Thank you captain for your reminder!”
“Reminder? HMPH, you are smart.”Captain Li waved his hand: “Go Down. I think highly of you but it doesn’t mean that I can tolerate your repeated mistakes.”
Dudian bowed his head and left.
“Smelly Kid, I guess you are scared because of this incident. Your brain is more flexible than before.”Captain Li looked at Dudian’s back as he left.
“It seems that there is a problem with their operation. There are traitors in the military or spies in the giant wall. This matter involves many big figures. I should not get involved in this mess. I should get familiar with this place as soon as possible and then leave.”Dudian thought of Captain Li’s words, he quickly left the place and returned to the barracks.
“Are You Alright?”Zhao Dabao and Dudian lived in the same dormitory. He saw that Dudian had come back so he went up to ask.
Dudian shook his head: “I’m Alright. I told you about the situation. Captain Li told me not to spread the news. Don’t spread the news so there won’t be any trouble.”
Zhao dabao nodded: “I know. It’s good that you are alright.”
“I want to go back to see my sister. Do you want to Go?”Dudian deliberately invited him.
Zhao dabao shook his head: “I want to go but we can’t. I know you are worried about your sister but don’t do anything stupid. Don’t violate military discipline. I will accompany you back to see your sister when there is a holiday. Or We can go after the next battle.”
Dudian’s face was silent. He was a bit depressed but he understood in his heart. He knew that it was not so easy for a mecha operator to enter and leave the military camp. He heard from Zhao Dabao that even though they had just finished the battle, they didn’t have a holiday, it was clear how strict the control was on them!
Next, Dudian pretended to be in a bad mood. He laid on his bed and tidied up his personal belongings. There were a few books. He picked up two books which were about the knowledge of mecha. One was a storybook, there was also a booklet that recorded the rules and common sense of the mecha operators.
Dudian was happy. He pretended to casually pick up the storybook and read it. At the same time, he sensed his surroundings. Zhao Dabao’s attention gradually shifted away. It seemed that he wanted to let him be quiet. He slowly put down the storybook in his hand, he pretended to be bored as he read the booklet.
Su had obviously read the things written in the booklet. It was something that every mecha operator had to read. He could even recite them. However, these things were very useful to him.
“Rules for mecha operators...”
“One-star mecha operators are paid 100,000 federal dollars a month...”
“During the non-battle period, eight hours of mecha training every day. Three mecha battles per week...”
Dudian quickly flipped through the book. He casually threw it aside and picked up a book on Mech Knowledge. He casually flipped through the book but his mind quickly began to think.
“I didn’t expect that the days of these mecha operators were not easy. Eight hours of training every day consumed a lot of physical and mental energy. The salary was 100,000 federal dollars. With Su Ming’s salary, it would take two and a half months to earn money for his sister’s treatment. But he still owed a huge debt...”Dudian’s eyes flashed, he thought of the scenes he saw when he entered the city. Not all of them were from the east, but there were also a few from the west.
The meaning of the word “Federation”was very obvious. This was not an empire, nor was there only one race!
“It seems that this is indeed the place where the survivors gathered after the great calamity ended. Regardless of technology or culture, they have all been passed down. The humans in the giant wall should also be survivors. It’s just that the technology there has been suppressed. However, I have never been to the Holy Kingdom. I don’t know if it is the same in the imperial city where the Seven Kings Live. But the technology of the Empire is not that bad.”
“But why does the empire suppress the technology in the giant wall? Is there any place where the technology has been suppressed?”Dudian thought but put away his thoughts.
He couldn’t even deal with his own matters so it was useless to think about it.
“Su Ming is a one star mecha master. According to the above, there are five levels of mecha masters. One star to five stars! A one star mecha master operating the black lizard mecha has the combat power of a lower abyss. However the destructive power of the mecha is enough to kill a middle or even upper abyss. However the other hardware doesn’t match. It is very difficult to hit the enemy with such a powerful weapon like the laser battle knife. The overall combat power is only that of a lower abyss.”
“A two-star mecha operator operating a flying dragon is comparable to a middle abyss. A three-star mecha operator operating a sky executioner is comparable to a upper abyss...”
“A four-star mecha operator operating an Athena is comparable to the Lord of the Abyss!”
“A five-star mecha operator operating a god of creation is comparable to a King!”
“A one-star mecha operator like Su Ming needs to train hard every day. He doesn’t have the right to ask for leave. He will only be allowed to take special leave if his relatives die...”Dudian’s eyes were half closed as he calculated in his heart, “But a three-star mecha master can ask for leave. A three-star mecha master can be the captain of the black lizard mecha on the battlefield. He is also known as a mecha master!”
“As for a four-star mecha master, in addition to the official ‘four-star Mecha Master’title, he is also known as the king of Mecha!”
“And a five-star mecha master is known as a legend!”
Dudian sighed in his heart. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was a condition that prevented him from becoming a five-star mecha master, he would have become a five-star mecha master no matter what, in this way, he would be able to get a creator-level mecha which was comparable to the combat strength of the King of the Empire!
However, it wasn’t difficult for him to become a three-star mecha master. He could easily meet the requirements of his brain and body. If he spent more time, he would be able to become a four-star mecha master. As for a five-star mecha master, he could complete the test in two months’time. Although a five-star mecha master needed to reach the level of a master in terms of military tactics, he also needed a huge amount of mecha knowledge, there were also many other types of knowledge, but he could learn all of them. The only thing that he could not do was that a five-star mecha master needed to hand over all of his loyalty!
The loyalty here wasn’t something that a Knight’s oath could represent. Instead, it was to hand over his body to the military. He would be modified by them, and he would be placed in a balance. His life and death wouldn’t be up to him.
