Hot.
Wet.
There were also the muddy mountain roads and dense woods all year round. This was the destination of Ray Mingkai's trip – the battlefield of the Earth Federation's Easternmost Front Army located in Southeast Asia.
The low roar of the jeep reverberated back and forth in the jungle. The mountain road that had just experienced a heavy rainfall was particularly muddy. Every time they moved forward a certain distance, the jeep's engine had to roar even more fiercely, squeezing out more power to pull the jeep out of the muddy pit.
"Tsk! This damn weather, when I just came out, the sun was still hanging in the sky. " The middle-aged man, who held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and stepped on the accelerator, kept cursing the weather that changed so quickly.
After finally driving the jeep out of the mud pit again and finally on a relatively flat road, the middle-aged man slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, the muddy mountain road that he had just walked through consumed a lot of his energy.
"Phew! Finally out. "
The middle-aged man wiped his cold sweat, then raised his head slightly, moved his gaze to the rearview mirror, and looked at the back seat through the rearview mirror.
A young man wearing an Earth Federation uniform with the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder.
"Sorry! Second Lieutenant. Sorry for wasting so much of your time. "
The young man sitting in the back seat shook his head. His gaze wandered around the mud-covered car door and he smiled faintly.
"No. Don't worry about it. This is an accident. After all, this kind of situation was common in this place. As long as we can successfully reach the station of the mechanized mixed brigade, it's fine. "
"You're really reasonable! Second Lieutenant. In that case, I have to work harder and let Second Lieutenant reach the station of the mechanized mixed brigade as soon as possible! Second Lieutenant, don't worry! The rest of the road should not be so bad. "
While steadily holding the steering wheel of the jeep, the middle-aged man also kept talking about some trivial matters here.
"Second Lieutenant. The rest of the road will be much better. Because the guys from the mechanized mixed brigade drive the MS around all day long. Especially on this road leading to the rear, there are often people from the mixed brigade driving the MS. "
"So, this path has been created?"
The young man glanced at the huge footprints on the side of the road that had not been erased. It was the trace left by the MS after it passed by.
"Yes. Thanks to those bastards, the latter half of the road was finally easier to traverse. Hahaha. "
In the midst of the discussion, the jeep quickly followed the trampled road to the station of the mechanized mixed brigade.
"Well, lieutenant. I'll go back first. If there's still a chance, why don't we go have a drink? "
The middle-aged man glanced at the soldiers guarding the entrance of the camp and turned back to look at the young man who suited his taste.
Along the way, the middle-aged man could be considered to have sated his craving for chatter. The young second lieutenant, who acted as an honest listener, became more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Okay. Sergeant Deno, I'll ask you to give me a ride after I'm done with the interview. "
In return, the young second lieutenant agreed to the middle-aged man's invitation.
"Hahahaha! It's settled then! "
After a few laughs, the middle-aged man's face suddenly darkened.
"Second Lieutenant, don't die too early! This damn place is not suitable to be your graveyard. "
After that, the middle-aged man laughed again and started the jeep to drive away, leaving the young second lieutenant with a bitter smile.
Then, the young second lieutenant took out a letter of appointment from his pocket, walked to the door, and handed it to the soldier who stared at him.
"I'm Second Lieutenant Ray Mingkai sent by the headquarters. I'm now executing the headquarters' external publicity order to carry out the mission of interviewing the mechanized mixed brigade. Please report immediately and approve the passage. "
After the soldier guarding the door glanced at the young man's rank, he took the letter of appointment, nodded silently, and turned back to the sentry box to confirm the situation.
After a while, the soldier who walked out of the sentry box returned the letter of appointment to the young second lieutenant and saluted, "Second Lieutenant Ray Mingkai, welcome to the station of the mechanized mixed brigade. Now, please report to the office of the commander immediately! "
"Understood! Thank you! "
As the door opened, the young Second Lieutenant, who was Lei Mingkai, stepped into the military encampment in the depths of the forest.
Why would Ray Mingkai, who should have stayed on the MACROSS Windchime, appear in this forest with such a vile environment as a second lieutenant of the Earth Federation army?
Everything started from when the MACROSS Windchime smoothly sailed out of the space-time channel.
"Warning! Warning! Suspicious target detected! Suspicious target detected! "
As soon as they came out, the radar on the Windchime issued a series of ear-piercing warnings, making Hudson almost jump out of the captain's seat.
"Feng Ling 'er! Quick! Confirm the situation! "
"Situation confirmed! It's an S-rank response!! "As soon as Feng Ling 'er opened her mouth, Ray Mingkai who walked out of the elevator was stunned.
"S-rank response?! Captain, what's going on? "
Hudson pondered for a moment, and his solemn expression deepened.
"Sir Inspector. S-rank responses are categorized according to the response levels on the scene when our fleet fought against the Abyss. According to the Bureau's categorization, S-rank responses are the same as Level 5 Abyss responses. "
"Level 5 Abyss responses?! According to the rules of the defense law, as long as a Level 5 Abyss response is detected, the surrounding fleet and warships must immediately put down the mission at hand and head to suppress the Abyss as quickly as possible. "
Ray Mingkai recalled the requirements of the Abyss Defense Law regarding Level 5 Abyss responses. This made Hudson nod in agreement.
"Yes. This ship must immediately head to the location of the S-rank response to suppress it. Therefore, from now on, this ship is temporarily unable to provide continuous support to Sir Inspector's mission. "
Saying this, Hudson gave a look to Feng Ling 'er who was standing on the side. Feng Ling 'er immediately followed up.
"Although this ship is temporarily unable to provide support to Sir Inspector, I have already paved the way for Sir Inspector's investigation."
Feng Ling 'er pointed with her finger, and a letter of appointment with Ray Mingkai's portrait appeared in front of Ray Mingkai.
"Second lieutenant of the Earth Federation army. You are currently following the orders of the headquarters to conduct an interview with the Easternmost Front Army?! "
"Yes. This is the method that can be found in a short period of time to allow Sir Inspector to smoothly integrate into the local environment while still possessing a certain degree of autonomy. "
Feng Ling 'er's words made Ray Mingkai smile helplessly.
"In the end, you just want me to be a guest reporter?"
"Haha! That's indeed the case. After all, compared to soldiers with guns, reporters with cameras all day long are much more reassuring. "Hudson was also satisfied with Feng Ling 'er's arrangement.
"So it's really like this?" Ray Mingkai shook his head, immediately expressing his approval. "Since that's the case, when do I set off? Now? "
"Yes. Now. Feng Ling 'er will prepare everything for Sir Inspector to enter the target world. "
"Understood!"
This was the reason why Ray Mingkai came to this world alone.
If it weren't for that sudden S-rank reaction (Level 5 Abyss Reaction), perhaps Ray Mingkai would still be in the forward base set up by the Macross Windchime's advance party, observing what was wrong with this world.
But now, Ray Mingkai could only rely on himself.
"Weng!!"
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, a rumbling sound pulled Ray Mingkai's somewhat absent-minded thoughts back to reality.
It was MS!
No!
It should be Gao Da!!
RX-79 [G] Land Type Gao Da!!
With just a glance, Ray Mingkai immediately recognized the identity of the huge humanoid weapon that slowly straightened its body, lifted its feet, and advanced with its head held high amidst the rumbling of the mechanical mechanism.
"Gao Da!"
Perhaps, there was nothing more shocking than seeing the real and mobile Gao Da appear in front of his eyes.
Especially for Ray Mingkai, this glue-addict.
This was not something that could be compared to the experience of fighting with Jiaoda in the Steelpula world.
Here, Ray Mingkai might be able to personally enter the cockpit and experience the thrill of piloting Gao Da.
"Are you fascinated? Kai! "
At this moment, White Cat State Zero's voice rang in Ray Mingkai's mind.
"Cough cough. I'm just a little surprised. "
Ray Mingkai, who came back to his senses, quickly coughed to cover up his gaffe.
"Surprised? What's there to be surprised about? Although this humanoid Mech is tall, in our hometown, there are many giant Soth Beasts that are a hundred meters tall of Gao Da. "
Obviously, the White Cat State Zero did not understand Ray Mingkai's feelings. It simply understood Ray Mingkai's shock from the size of the Mech.
"State Zero. You don't understand. "
Ray Mingkai twitched the corner of his mouth and ignored the White Cat State Zero. He immediately turned and walked towards the office where the commander was.
However, when Ray Mingkai arrived at the so-called office, he was slightly surprised by the commander who was sitting in a simple tent and blowing on a fan.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm the commander, Xiao Dao. "
Just like in the original work, this commander who should be sitting in the office and enjoying the air-conditioning was sitting in a simple battlefield tent and blowing on an electric fan.
"I'm Second Lieutenant Ray Mingkai. This is the letter of appointment from the headquarters. Please take a look, commander! "
Ray Mingkai retracted his gaze and handed over the letter of appointment with a serious face.
This letter of appointment was created by Feng Ling 'er's super hacker abilities, breaking through the secret network of the Earth Union Army of this world, directly creating it in the central computer. As a result, there were no flaws in it that could be seen through by anyone.
"Yes. I've received the order! Second Lieutenant Ray Mingkai, from today onwards, except for some military secret areas, you can conduct interviews in other places. However, you must know that you must not hinder my troops from preparing to attack. "
Xiao Dao glanced back and forth at Ray Mingkai's letter of appointment for a while, then slowly reminded Ray Mingkai of the interview rules that he must pay attention to.
"Yes! I promise to abide by the rules of the station! However, commander, I have a request! "
"Speak!"
"I hope to follow the team to the battlefield and conduct interviews on the battlefield!"
Ray Mingkai's words made Xiao Dao stunned for a moment, then he said angrily, "Are you crazy? The headquarters asked you to conduct interviews, not to send you to the frontline to die!!! "
"Reporting, commander! This is the frontline! "
Ray Mingkai's face turned serious and replied calmly.
This sentence made Xiao Dao speechless.
Yes!
According to the intelligence, there was a possibility that there was a secret development base of the Gion Army near this base. In other words, this seemingly safe base could be attacked by the Gion Army's MS at any time.
Especially in a situation where they did not know about the weapons developed by this secret base, this base could become a sacrifice for the Gion Army's new weapons at any time.
However, this did not mean that Xiao Dao would agree to Ray Mingkai's request to go to the frontline.
"That's all for today! Second Lieutenant, I'll send someone to bring you to your room. The interview will start tomorrow. You should have a good rest today! "
Xiao Dao did not want to be entangled with Ray Mingkai's request to go to the frontline, so he straightforwardly ordered him to leave.
Ray Mingkai, whose request was rejected, quickly turned around and left.
This was not the only opportunity for Ray Mingkai to leave the base and go to the frontline.
According to Ray Mingkai's speculation, the opportunity would definitely come again.
And this opportunity would definitely come at a certain time after the reporting of all members of 08MS.
After closing the door, Ray Mingkai looked at the single room that was not very spacious but was well-equipped. He could not help but nod his head.
"This will be your residence for the next few months. Mingkai. "
The elusive White Cat State Zero appeared from the shadows of the room, jumped on the table, and looked around the room.
"Although it's a little small, it's much better than living in a tent."
Ray Mingkai sat on the bed and accidentally took out an … indescribable book.
"Hahaha! Looks like the brother who lived in this room was very straightforward! "
White Cat State Zero looked at the indescribable book that Ray Mingkai threw into the trash can and asked again.
"What do we do next? Do we really become a reporter and go around interviewing people? "
"Can't we do that? The identity of a reporter is very useful! "Ray Mingkai pondered for a while and suddenly stared at White Cat State Zero.
That sparkling gaze made State White Cat Zero shudder involuntarily ….
"You! What are you trying to do? Kai! "
White Cat State Zero popped out its sharp claws and revealed a look of intimidation.
"Haha! Don't be nervous! State Zero. I suddenly realized that you are quite cute sometimes. So, I have a mission for you. "
Ray Mingkai laughed and completely ignored the White Cat State Zero's sharp claws.
When this fellow was in the form of a white cat, it was always a facade. In other words, he was a little arrogant.
"What? Mission? You need the Tusked Lion State Zero to cause trouble? "White Cat State Zero blinked and revealed a puzzled look.
"No. This mission doesn't need the Tusked Lion State Zero, but the White Cat State Zero. " Ray Mingkai touched his chin and nodded while looking at the White Cat State Zero's fluffy white fur.
"What?! White Cat State Zero? "
"Yes! State Zero. Tomorrow, you'd better go to the north and find the hidden base of the Federation Army's enemy hidden in the mountains. Then, find a girl named Ina Sakhalin and stay by her side to observe if there's anything wrong with the Gion Army Base … "
