Since the purpose of coming out to find water had been achieved, they returned to the camp directly.
Along the way, Morris yelled that he must inform the chef before he made dinner so that he didn't have to make a big pot of dirty and disgusting paste to save water.
In Morris's words, that thing was as disgusting as the witch's bewitching soup made with crickets. It was already out of respect for the food that he didn't vomit on the spot.
After returning to the temporary camp, the news of finding a water source nearby immediately spread throughout the camp. The morale of the group also increased.
Fang Linyan and the other two didn't go out. After a short rest, they went outside to help dig a deep trench. After all, the damn wolves last night gave them enough pressure to strengthen their defense.
Just when Fang Linyan was digging at the outer wall of the base sweating profusely, an alarm suddenly sounded, then a hoarse voice came from the newly added loudspeaker,
"Everyone return to the base. I repeat, return to the base. An unknown object is approaching at high speed."
Fang Linyan decisively threw down the shovel and left. After returning to the base, he saw the yellow sand rolling in the distance, but soon, there was a loud and dull car horn sound. Two all-terrain vehicles were driving toward here at high speed. On the roof of the all-terrain vehicle, there was a fully armed machine gun shooter showing his head.
Tucker, who was next to him, had already shouted excitedly,
"Hey! Goth! Look here, I'm so glad you're still alive. "
Obviously, the communicator installed before played a role. The coordinates that were constantly sent were received by the people who were separated, so they sent people over to investigate.
At this time, Deuco also immediately went out of the camp excitedly.
When the all-terrain vehicle arrived at the trench, the machine gun shooter, Goth, jumped down and saw Deuco with an anxious expression, "I finally found you.
The boss is in danger. I'm afraid he can't hold on for long. Hurry up and bring your people to support me! "
Deuco was shocked. After asking briefly for the details, he knew that Kenny's landing site was only about 70 to 80 kilometers away from here, and he was in big trouble.
Obviously, Deuco personally led the team at this time. He simply mobilized most of the combat personnel, including the all-terrain vehicle, and drove directly over to support.
Furthermore, the trenches in the camp had been deepened and two machine gun turrets had been constructed. Gurt and the rest had also brought along plenty of ammunition and supplies. Therefore, it wasn't a problem to leave the remaining men behind as guards.
Fang Linyan and the other two were naturally selected as reinforcements, and they were directly assigned to the second car.
Three all-terrain vehicles full of armed personnel were driving quickly in the desert. The person in charge of communication in Fang Linyan's car was called Talon. He was Rhett's deputy. After greeting them, he told them the general situation of the matter.
It turned out that Rhett's team had lost contact with Kenny's team after the super sandstorm.
However, the damage to their transport ship was very light, so it only took them two to three hours to contact Kenny after landing.
Only then did they know that Kenny's party had fallen into an abyss of suffering. They had been brutally attacked by the local creatures and were attacked from the front and back. They were being targeted by over a hundred Rodent Wargs and a large number of Bloodbeak Vultures. Currently, they were putting up a desperate resistance. Moreover, there were quite a number of injured people in the party. Due to the lack of medical supplies, six people had already died so far.
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to find a cave to defend, so they were still able to hold on.
After Rhett received the news, he immediately rushed over with his men to help.
Judging from the information sent by Rhett, the reinforcements who rushed over were not enough to suppress the crazy wolves. Instead, they were surrounded by the cunning wolves several times, not to mention tearing open an escape route for their companions who were trapped in the chaotic battlefield.
The main problem was that there were both wolves and Bloodbeak Vultures among the beasts that attacked them. The two had a symbiotic relationship like aphids and ants. Once the wolves attacked, the Bloodbeak Vultures would also cooperate with them to launch an attack from the air. It was extremely tricky.
At this time, Rhett's team was still being held back by the wolves and Bloodbeak Vultures on the periphery. They had even lost several people.
Talon was originally responsible for staying at the camp to take care of the injured, but the predicament here also made him anxious. He tried to find a way to break out of the situation.
Fortunately, they received a one-way signal from Deacon's party at this time. Under such circumstances, Talon immediately contacted Rhett and said that he was willing to bring two people over to investigate the coordinates here. He wanted to see if they could find Deacon's party and get help to rescue Kenny's party.
Unfortunately, Talon did not expect that the situation of Deacon's party was not too bad, but it was not too good either. There were only about ten warriors who could be of use at the moment. But this was actually not surprising. The party led by Deacon's party was mostly made up of logistics. Wasn't it nonsense to expect them to be able to lead a group of people to kill the enemies?
But in Talon's opinion, although there were only a few helpers, it was still better than having none. As the saying goes, without the lips, the teeth would feel cold. If Rhett's and Kenny's parties were wiped out, Deacon's party would not have a good ending either.
At this time, Morris suddenly said,
"Brother, the Mercury Transport Ship of your Rhett Party is a lengthened model. You know, there are two big guys in it! That thing is an expert in aerial combat. No matter how many Blood-Beak Vultures there are, it won't be enough to kill them. "
"After eliminating the interference in the air, even if you face hundreds of Wargs, it should still be a piece of cake, right?"
Talon shook his head and looked at Morris with a desolate expression.
"Sigh! Don't mention it. If those things could move, would they be in such a state? You're talking about the two Gloria self-propelled Mechs right? They were damaged during the forced landing. It's already a miracle that they didn't fall apart. Boss tried to activate them a few times, but they couldn't move at all. "
"I heard from Lil, who is in charge of maintenance, that there's probably a problem with the power system. They could only be barely reassembled by hand and parked in the temporary camp to be used as a fixed battery."
Morris pondered and said.
"Do you still have the spare maintenance tanks? I can give it a try. I've piloted a Goliath for three years in the army. I can't handle other armored mechs, but I do have some experience with this thing. "
Talon's eyes lit up when he heard that.
"Both of the spare maintenance tanks are still here! Then the rest of you go directly to reinforce them. We'll go to the temporary camp to repair Gloria first! Without strong firepower support, it'll be difficult for Kenny and the others to escape. Even if they barely escape, they will have to abandon the wounded and suffer heavy losses. "
There was no time to lose. After Talon made the decision, the entire team split up under his command.
The other two all-terrain vehicles were led by Deaco to prioritize the combat personnel to the battlefield, while Talon drove the other all-terrain vehicle with the maintenance personnel to the temporary camp established by Rhett.
Because when Deaco built the camp before, Fang Linyan showed his ability in welding, so he didn't need to volunteer. Morris directly called him.
Under Fang Linyan's insistence, Mountain Goat and Vulture also traveled together as assistants. Are you kidding me? In this SS difficulty mission, the three of them must not be separated.
Although Talon was very unhappy, he could only agree to Fang Linyan's request.
While they were on the way, Fang Linyan asked for the relevant list in the name of understanding the relevant maintenance reserves. He found that in terms of military material reserves, Rhett's side was several grades higher than Deaco's.
In addition to three conventional all-terrain vehicles, their team's transport ship also carried two retired land mecha "Gloria" from the military, commonly known as Big Foot, which was the secret weapon Fang Linyan saw before.
Gloria belonged to the medium-sized land mecha. It was a self-propelled war machine that could walk on foot in complicated terrain. The appearance of the mecha was similar to the Big Foot ED-209 in a movie. It was equipped with humanoid folding feet, but the knees were bent backward. This was to allow the mecha to adjust its center of gravity at any time, maintain balance, and provide reliable recoil support for the cannon.
The original intention of the development of this mecha was to provide a strong penetration ability for the ground troops. Under the arms on both sides, there were two Gatling heavy machine guns. When necessary, they could also be replaced with a surface-to-air missile box.
Its warhead was unified with the military's standard, the "Hellfire" small laser self-guided missile. This kind of warhead with a small flame explosion ability could cause devastating damage to air targets and had a wide coverage area.
However, with the emergence of the new generation of Gloria, the old Iron Giant should have been eliminated by the military. The new iterations of the product eventually caused these dangerous equipment to be lost to the public. Kenny was good at using his connections to get these outdated armaments. Even so, these two mecha that were eliminated by the military were still very expensive.
It took about an hour or so for the all-terrain vehicle to drive into Rhett's camp.
It could be seen that the Mercury transport ship on Rhett's side was obviously in much better condition. It seemed that it should have successfully landed. It was just that the landing was too hasty, so one side of the landing gear was seriously damaged. Other than that, there was no major problem with the body.
The camp was surrounded by a simple trench. Near the trench, there were many five-meter-tall electric pylon-like poles erected. These pylon-like poles were powered by the reactor of the transport ship. Each pole was equipped with a temperature sensor and a friend-or-foe identification system.
They were spaced apart from each other and were arranged in a line around the camp. As long as any living creature tried to pass through the gaps between the pylon-like poles, the pylon-like poles would sense it and shoot out a terrifying electric current to attack the enemy!
As for the two Bigfoot Mecha, they were placed in the camp. The mercenaries had equipped the bottom of the Mecha with a trailer. The Mecha entered the transport mode and knelt on the trailer with their knees folded. They were used as stationary turrets.
After getting out of the vehicle, Morris asked Talon to find the relevant repair boxes. He himself jumped directly into the cockpit and began to check the malfunction and analyze the cause.
In less than five minutes, Morris jumped out of one of the Bigfoot Mecha and shook his head.
"The control system is seriously damaged. The hydraulic transmission device is broken."
His tone was similar to that of a doctor holding an X-ray and solemnly telling a patient, "You have terminal cancer."
However, Morris's judgment was still correct. Such a serious injury would take a day or two to repair even in the military maintenance base, let alone in such a desolate place.
Fortunately, the other one was basically intact. Morris tried to twist the key on the control board, and the Mecha immediately burst out with a "zizi zizi" starting sound, but the console did not flash normally. There was no response.
Fang Linyan did not show a very enthusiastic attitude about this. He just watched silently. As long as he was not called, then he would not speak.
After Morris fiddled with it for a while, he basically judged that there was a fault in the ignition device. It was estimated that Gloria had been bumped in the storm for too long, and there was a fault in the power storage system. It was caused by a short-circuit discharge, so the fault must be eliminated first, and then the voltage must be increased.
After a busy replacement of parts, it was only less than 10 minutes. Afterward, Morris found a power cable and connected it to the power storage box of the all-terrain vehicle and the Mecha respectively, then he connected the power and pressed the button.
A series of hoarse sounds suddenly came from the engine as if an old man was coughing violently, then the engine was directly extinguished.
Morris was a little confused because he felt that all the malfunctions should have been eliminated.
After thinking hard for a while, Morris had an idea,
"I know, it should be the cylinder leakage problem."
As he said, he took a big screwdriver and walked forward quickly.
Hearing his words, Fang Linyan suddenly rolled his eyes and slowly exhaled a long breath.
When Goat saw Fang Linyan's appearance, he immediately whispered in the team channel,
"It seems that this guy made a mistake?"
Fang Linyan said,
"It's very likely, and I have carefully observed one. This kind of Goliath Mecha's engine uses a brand-new design. The requirements for its internal environment are very strict. It is easy for him to disassemble the cylinder, but in the current harsh conditions, it will take a lot of effort to restore the internal environment of the engine. It will take at least 3 hours to restart!"
Vulture said,
"Are you worried that Kenny and the others can't last 3 hours?"
Fang Linyan said,
"Of course, and think about it, if Kenny and the others are wiped out, how can we find people on this damn planet? Let alone saving people! "
Hearing Fang Linyan's words, Goat immediately said,
"So where do you think the problem is?"
Fang Linyan said in an affirmative tone,
"The distributor is leaking, or the low-voltage circuit is short-circuited!"
After listening to Fang Linyan's words, Goat walked over and whispered a few words to Morris. Morris was actually biting the bullet at this time. After hearing Goat's words, he walked to Fang Linyan and said,
"Do you think it's a circuit fault?"
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"Can I take a closer look?"
Morris laughed in amazement,
"Of course, brother! Feel free to look and touch! This is just a Goliath, not my wife lying naked on the bed! "
Fang Linyan stepped forward, slowly bent his finger and tapped the Goliath's engine position, then he seemed to close his eyes to listen to the sound. In fact, the metal tactile ability had directly penetrated into it.
As a result, it only took 2 minutes, Fang Linyan said straightforwardly,
"Here is the problem."
Morris showed a standard "black man with a question mark" expression at this time. If it weren't for Fang Linyan's legendary status, he would probably spit out "Are you f * cking kidding me".
As a result, Fang Linyan's movements were extremely fast. The people next to him almost touched it with their hands, and the screws next to him fell off directly. After a short 10 seconds, the armor plate was removed, revealing the complicated internal structure.
Then, Fang Linyan easily picked out a yellow wire among the dozens of complicated lines inside, then he pulled it out gently, cut it, and replaced it with a new wire. After soldering it, he signaled Goat to press the ignition button.
Suddenly, a series of passionate roars sounded from the engine! The self-inspection light next to it also began to shine.
Morris's eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets. That expression of disbelief was as if this Goliath had really become his wife lying on the bed …
After a while, Morris said to Fang Linyan,
"Wow, it's really incredible. How did you find that wire! There are so many wires there like a spider web. "
Fang Linyan was biting a screwdriver in his mouth at this time. He was reinstalling the armor plate. He couldn't speak, so he could only point at his face with his finger. Morris said blankly,
"Do you mean, I need to use my brain to think more?"
Goat knew Fang Linyan very well, so he said seriously,
"No, he means to let you smell it with your nose … Brother! I can smell the burnt rubber on that wire even though I'm so far away!! "
Morris,
“.....”
***
Soon, amidst a buzz, Goliath's self-inspection was successfully completed, then under Morris's control, it slowly stood up.
Talon said excitedly at this time,
"Great, great, we should be able to save Kenny now."
Fang Linyan wiped the sweat on his forehead and said,
"Hey, remember your promise. You owe us a big meal."
The anxious Talon hurriedly said,
"Of course, of course, then let's set off quickly! Our leader is still waiting! "
After speaking, with the help of Talon, they hung the trailer behind the all-terrain vehicle. Morris controlled Goliath to get on the trailer, then she transformed into the transport form and slowly knelt down. At the same time, the buckles on her legs were stretched out and fixed on the trailer.
Next, Talon entered the driver's seat of the all-terrain vehicle, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed to the rescue location.
In Rhett's camp, ammunition could be said to be abnormally sufficient, so when Fang Linyan left, he restocked a lot under the pretense of public affairs.
Bombs, landmines, grenades, and the like filled almost half of his personal space. Anyway, there was no monitoring here. As for how the warehouse manager dealt with it after discovering it, it was his business. What did it have to do with him?
