"Kacha!! Rumble..."

　　 The lightning of the mad dragon danced quickly across the dark cloud. While the flashing lightning tore away the darkness that enveloped the rainforest, it also illuminated Norris' dignified face clearly.

　　 "Colonel. What are you worried about?"

　　 With the heavy rain, Massad, who ran back from the nearby battle tent, had not had time to wipe off the rain from his hat, and he was seen the solemn face of Norris.

　　 "Massad. What's the situation with sonar?"

　　 Norris did not answer Massad’s question, but moved the same solemn gaze, looked at Massad, and slowly asked.

　　 Masad was taken aback, then took off his hat that had been wet by the rain, and sighed secretly.

"The situation is not very good. The strong electromagnetic field brought by the thundercloud weather and the heavy rain have reduced the effect of sonar to almost unusable. Now, our external monitoring means are only arranged around this hidden stronghold. The secret whistle."

　　 Norris nodded slowly, but said nothing. However, looking back at the black clouds that pressed against the sky, and there were waves of lightning flashing across the sky.

　　 Seeing this black cloud covering the world, Norris knew that this downpour might not end in a short time.

　　 "Masad. Do you have any instructions from Major General Kinhas?"

　　 Masad pondered for a moment, and then said:

　　 "Yes! Colonel. The major general has instructions, but he still wants us to stay at this stronghold until the arrival of reinforcements."

　　 "Reinforcement? Under this ghostly weather, send reinforcements over?" Norris's mouth twitched again and again, but in the end he resisted the idea of ​​yelling.

　　 The spooky weather in front of me not only paralyzed the sonar equipment, but also made the usually muddy roads of this tropical rain forest even more impossible to walk.

　　 The huge humanoid mobile suit has lost the ability to walk in the rain forest in this heavy rain. If you risk marching forcibly in this heavy rain covering the world, it is quite common to stray into the swamp. The most feared thing is to encounter the Federal Army, which exposes this hidden stronghold.

　　 "Masad."

"Yes!"

　　 Massad, who was carefully watching the changes in Norris's expression, responded immediately when Norris spoke.

　　 "Can you confirm the situation of the surrounding whistle?"

"can!"

　　 Masad quickly packed his tickets.

　　 "For the sake of safety, most of the things that we are deploying secret guards are wired contacts. As long as we activate the corresponding contact lines, we will be able to contact the secret guards arranged around the first time."

　　 "Is there a wired connection? Haha. Well done! Check the status of all the secret whistle! Let them be up to 200% spirit." Norris nodded appreciatively, then raised his hand and waved.

　　 "I have a hunch. This ghostly weather may cause us great trouble."

　　 Norris Bacard.

　　 The sigh of this man who had been born and died countless times on the battlefield made Massad's heart tense subconsciously.

　　 I am afraid that this stronghold will not be peaceful before the end of the rainstorm.

　　 "Rumble..."

　　 In Norris' solemn gaze, a distorted, arrogant lightning flashed across the sky instantly, slashing towards the distance.

　　Actually, in Norris's heart, the safety of this stronghold is not the most important. What can be more important than this stronghold is the X3 engine that Massad said.

　　 "I hope I can get here smoothly!"

　　 Norris sighed intently at the lightning bolts flying across the sky above his head.

　　 Under the heavy rain, even the tree canopy that was so dense that the sun could not penetrate in the past could not block the continuous rainwater flowing from the top of the tree canopy.

　　 "Hey! What the **** is this weather? Why did it rain so much all of a sudden. This is far worse than the weather in Side2. I have never seen such a heavy rain in Side2."

　　 One of the recruits who unbuttoned his collar, holding a small bucket in his hand, kept filling up the water in the post, and turned to pour it outside, yelling and cursing God.

　　 "Second-class soldier. How long have you been in the army?"

　　 Compared to the scolding recruit egg, the man sitting on the side with a scar on his left face looks much more common.

　　According to his military resume, this scarred man who was called by the recruits to be a sergeant was the first batch of veterans of the Principality of Zeon to take part in the landing operations.

　　 For him, he has long been accustomed to the extreme weather changes in this rainforest, and he will not make a fuss like this new recruit.

　　 "Sergeant! I am Private Zeon who was ordered to land on Earth three months ago!"

　　 Hearing the culture of Scar Man, he was holding a small bucket of water, and the recruit who poured the water hurriedly stood up and replied loudly.

　　 But, it seems that the recruit's egg was too hard. One accidentally kicked Lao Gao from the stagnant water pouring into the outpost, and almost drenched the communicator placed on the table.

　　 Scared man looked at the water that slipped from the communicator on the desktop, his mouth twitched a few times, but he still shook his head helplessly.

　　 "Second-class soldier, don't fall down. Take a rag and wipe it!"

"Yes!"

　　 While the recruits were looking for rags with the water that had been flooded to their heels, the scared man suddenly found that the communicator, which had been in a silent state, suddenly turned on a red indicator light.

　　 "There is a task."

　　 The scarred man clicked in his heart, but before he picked up the microphone of the communicator and responded, the recruit who went to look for the rag suddenly let out a scream.

"what!!"

　　 "What happened? Recruit!!"

　　 Scar Man shouted loudly.

　　 Because of the communicator, the Scarlet Man could not immediately stand up to look for the recruit.

　　 "I hope you don't make any trouble for me."

　　 The Scar Man gritted his teeth, and finally chose the most priority option for the task.

　　 "This is 03 Silent One."

　　 picked up the microphone. After the Scar Man gave a code name, he silently listened to the voice from the other side of the microphone. After the voice stopped, the Scar Man spoke again:

　　 "Yes! Now, everything..."

However,

　　 Before the Scar Man finished speaking, the panicked recruit rushed into this room in a splash of water.

　　 "Wow!"

　　 Amidst the polluted water filled with fallen leaves, a panicked recruit lay on the ground, shaking his right finger and pointing to the corridor outside.

　　 Scar man frowned and shouted:

　　 "What happened? Now, I am reporting to the rear! What are you doing? Recruit!"

　　"White···White···"

　　 Scared man’s loud shout did not make the recruits recover. He still raised his finger outside in a panic, as if something terrible was approaching outside.

　　 "White? White what? Recruit! If you interrupt me to report the situation from the rear, let's just wait and see!"

　　 Scarred Man looked at the corridor where the rain was constantly pouring into but there was no one, and after reprimanding the recruits a few words, he turned his head and said into the microphone:

　　 "No. It's just that the recruits are not used to the weather here. There is nothing unusual! Yes! I will be more vigilant! Yes! Understand! Then, I'll hang up first!"

　　 "Tap!"

　　 Scarred man put down the communicator, stood up, walked to the recruit's side, reached out and grabbed his collar and picked up the recruit.

　　 "Recruit! Although the weather here is very strange for people born on colonial satellites, you don't have to be so alarmed! If you do this next time, be careful and I make you look good!!!"

　　 "No. It's not! There really is something!! It's white...white..."

　　 Facing the threat of Scar Man, the recruit shook his head again and again, but the panic on his face remained.

　　 "White? White what?! Talk nonsense again, be careful with me..."

　　 "Boom!"

　　 Before the scar man had finished speaking, there was a sudden violent explosion in the solid concrete dome above his head, and the scar man and the panicked recruit were swallowed in a blink of an eye.

In the next second, the huge stagnant water brought by the heavy rain rushed down from the huge mouth that had just been blown up by the explosion, and quickly submerged the secret whistle hidden in the rainforest in a mixture of fallen leaves. In the muddy water of the branches.

　　Beside this gap, two faint arc lights turned silently for a while, and then disappeared in the heavy rain.

　　 "The third place. Huh. I didn't expect Kinas to have so many dark whistles around here. It's just that there are three dark whistles at a distance of less than one kilometer. It's really cautious."

　　 In front of his eyes is the rain that is constantly scratching the screen, and the sound of frantically tapping on the cold armor is heard in his ears.

　　 Lei Mingkai stretched out his hand and nodded on the operating keyboard, and a plan with dozens of red crosses appeared in front of him.

　　 This is the suspected target found in the investigation just now.

　　 But because of the **** rainstorm before me, I can only take the approach of close contact to wipe out these secret posts that are distributed on the necessary roads.

　　 "Although it is a bit troublesome, but now I am driving Lancelot instead of Gundam Gundam."

Yes.

　　 Before Lei Mingkai was able to confidently take over the task of outflanking the enemy's back from the path, it was Lancelot.

　　 After Lei Mingkai came into this world, he was activated by Lancelot, who was hidden in this rainforest by the MACROSS Fairy, this tropical rainforest may no longer be a stumbling block for Lei Mingkai.

Compared to the 18-meter-high land warfare, Lancelot, which is only 4.5 meters high, will not be hindered by this dense tropical rain forest. Even the Lancelot equipped with a light-wing system can still be seen from above the canopy. Fly past, straight to the destination.

　　 But this is not Lei Mingkai’s goal.

　　 "We are more than ten kilometers away from the goal, keep going!"

　　 Lancelot, who was shrouded in heavy rain, put away two infrared detectors and quietly sank into the darkness.

　　 From this moment on, Lancelot seemed to have become a dark assassin, constantly setting off waves of silent killings in this rainforest.

One,

two,

　　 three,

　　···

　　 The rumbling thunder overwhelmed the sound of the dark whistle when it was destroyed by Lancelot.

　　 The heavy rain covering the heavens and the earth has become a trace of erasing the existence of the secret whistle.

　　 The only proof that they have survived is the closed communication line that extends from the depths of the rainforest.

　　 But, even if the thunderous thunder in the sky never stopped, the heavy rain did not show signs of calm, and the soldiers guarding the communicator eventually found some signs.

　　 "Colonel. There is a situation." The cold sweat on Masad's forehead was almost the same as the rainstorm outside the door, and it kept on his cheeks.

"Say!"

　　 The solemnity on Norris's face has not faded from the beginning.

　　 "The secret whistles we arranged on the periphery seem to have lost contact. We are now confirming the situation. But what can be confirmed is that we have lost at least ten or more secret whistles."

　　 As soon as he heard the news, a cold light flashed in Norris's eyes.

　　 "Needless to say! I know! Now, let the notification go down. All members are ready to fight at the first level!"

　　 After all, Norris ignored Massad’s reaction, and strode out the door meteorically, and walked past the parked Zaku II under the heavy rain.

　　 "Go to... Colonel."

　　 Masad is not stupid. Under the command that Norris has understood, Masad already knows what he should do.

　　 "All members are ready to fight at the first level! Enemy, here comes!"

　　 With an order, the entire hidden stronghold moved.

　　Rain water, silhouettes, the headlights that keep illuminating, and the huge humanoid weapons that slowly stood up in the rain, became the main theme of the moment.

　　 This movement was naturally discovered by Lei Mingkai who had sneaked nearby.

　　 "Are you aware of it?"

　　 Under the woods, Lancelot turned on the infrared detector on his chest.

　　 At this distance, Lancelot’s infrared detector can already directly observe the movement of this hidden stronghold.

　　Especially the astonishing heat that the land-based Zaku II emits when it is activated. The heat seems to be like a small sun on the infrared detector~lightnovelpub.net~ It is impossible to ignore its existence.

　　 "One, two, three. Three Zaku IIs? Ha ha. It seems that this hidden stronghold is not too small!"

　　 At a glance, in addition to the three brightest figures, there are more than ten figures that look like armored vehicles, and hundreds of figures running around.

　　Looking at the land-based Zaku II that had been activated and gathered together, Lei Mingkai pondered for a moment. After looking up at the torrential rain that had not subsided, he had a conclusion in his heart.

　　 "Om!"

　　 The high-speed spinning guide wheel pushed Lancelot into the shadow of the jungle at the moment when the high splash was raised.

　　 "Colonel! Preparations for battle are complete! Please order!"

　　 set aside the clothes wet by the rain, Norris looked at the picture on the screen in silence, and did not respond to Massad’s request immediately.

　　 After a while, Norris spoke out the first command.

　　 "All staff, disperse the formation, and start defense around the stronghold!"

　　 "Yes! Colonel."

　　 Under Norris’s order, the three ground-type Zaku IIs were separated, leading the accompanying armored vehicles to separate the triangle of the stronghold, firmly controlling the best attack position of the stronghold in their hands.

　　 However, as time passed by, the enemy Norris had anticipated did not seem to show up at all.
