(Author's Note: There's only one chapter of 'A Date Today'. We're all guys, so don't think too much about it. What's there to be careful of? I'm going to faint.
The moment the cabin door opened, Sagata Sosuke jumped out without Qianniao being prepared. In an instant, everyone on the plane heard a howl and then disappeared into their ears.
El Erf and Lang Ba also jumped out of the cabin. Xiao Ran also patted Yani, who was tied to him, and made her close her eyes before jumping out of the cabin. For a moment, the sound of the wind rang in Xiao Ran's ears. Behind him was the blue sky, and in front of him was the blue sea.
Soon, parachutes appeared in the sky one after another. The six of them released their parachutes and landed in the sea one after another. Because they adjusted the angle and direction when they landed, the place where they landed was at most 30 to 50 meters away from the sea.
Not far from them, three small unmanned submarines floated quietly on the surface of the water. Without wasting any time, under Sosuke Xiangliang's guidance, they took out the breathing apparatus from the hidden compartment on the small boat and followed Sosuke Xiangliang to the Son of Dan Slave.
Ten minutes later, everyone entered the recovery cabin of the Son of Dan Slave. As soon as they came out of the water, Chidori and Yani both sneezed and hugged their arms, feeling a little cold.
Xiao Ran and the other men had outstanding physiques, so they didn't react like the two girls. Instead, they looked at Tessa and Melissa Mao who came to greet them.
Tessa looked at Chidori and Yani with concern, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I originally wanted everyone to go to Merida Island, but I didn't expect something to happen on the way. I have to rush over."
"I'm really sorry for what happened. Miss Chidori and Miss Yani should go to the infirmary for a check-up. It's safer to drink a cup of hot tea. Mr. Arikos, you should change your clothes too."
"Achoo." Chidori suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and said to Tessa indifferently, "It's fine. I'm used to this kind of situation anyway. It's not good for you, Tessa."
"I'm sorry." Tessa lowered her head slightly and said embarrassedly, "It's all because of us."
"Okay, okay." Chidori waved her hand and walked out, "Hurry up and change your clothes to warm up. Otherwise, you'll catch a cold."
Tessa smiled apologetically and left with Chidori and Yani. Sagara Sosuke put down all the things tied to his body and brought Xiao Ran, El Erf, and Lang Ba to another lounge with Melissa Mao.
After they changed their clothes, Richard, the vice-captain, also appeared in the lounge arranged for Xiao Ran and the others. The moment he opened his mouth, he was just as apologetic as Tessa. "I'm really sorry. The original plan for the anniversary celebration unexpectedly had such an unforeseen event, and we even let our guests enter the Son of Dan Slave in such a manner. It's really impolite of us to do so."
"Haha." Xiao Ran smiled and waved his hand slightly. "Vice-Captain Richard, you don't have to be so polite. You make it sound like we're outsiders. Although we don't belong to the Mithril Federation, at least we're partners. Just be casual."
Vice-captain Richard nodded and said, "I'm sorry for being rude. I've already asked someone to clean up your lounge. You can go back to your room and rest. The anniversary celebration will begin later. If there's nothing else, I hope you'll do me the honor of joining us."
"Okay." Xiao Ran smiled and asked, "By the way, what happened this time?"
Vice-captain Richard didn't want to hide anything from Xiao Ran, so he directly said, "This time, it's a sudden incident. A military research base of the American military has been occupied by unknown people. We received a notice from the United States that they need our help to take back the base. At the same time, we also want to know the other party's true purpose."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly. "Do you have any specific information?"
"Not yet." Vice-captain Richard shook his head slightly and said, "It's still under investigation. It's expected that we'll get specific information before we start the operation."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Understood. If there's anything we can help with, please don't hesitate to let me know. If there's an AS battle this time, I hope I can participate in it."
The hijacking of the Dan Slave's Son was due to this operation. Now that the first main mission was about to come to an end, Xiao Ran didn't want any unnecessary twists and turns to happen in the middle, so he took the initiative to offer his help. In fact, he was willing to help no matter what.
This was to prevent the hijacking of the Son of Dan Slave from happening. After hearing El Erf's analysis, Xiao Ran was also worried that the Amalgam side had recruited a certain number of participants. If this was the case, then the Son of Dan Slave would really be in danger.
In addition, if the participants were not willing to use their own bodies, and if they really joined the operation and drove the AS of this world, Xiao Ran estimated that even with Sosuke Sagara's crossbow in the battle, they might not necessarily be a match for the amalgam that had been plotting for a long time.
Xiao Ran was the only one who could determine whether the other party was a participant or not. He was also the only one who could reduce the losses of the Mithril Army as much as possible when they encountered the participants.
When Richard heard Xiao Ran's words, he looked a little happy. "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Xiao Ran."
"Mhmm." Xiao Ran smiled slightly.
In the following time, the anniversary celebration of the Son of Dan Slave began in the huge Gnacou in the front cabin of the ship. Except for the bridge crew on duty, it could be said that almost all the members of the Son of Dan Slave participated in this joyous celebration. They played, drank, and danced to their heart's content.
Although Xiao Ran also joined the party and drank a lot of wine with the members of the Son of Dan Slave, he remained sober throughout the entire banquet and disappeared from the venue halfway through the banquet. Although Xiao Ran also joined in and drank a lot of wine with the members of the Son of Dan Slave, he remained sober and disappeared from the venue halfway through the banquet.
El Erf and Lomba didn't participate in the celebration. El Erf didn't touch alcohol because of his personality, while Lomba didn't know El Erf well, so she stayed in the room with El Erf and didn't go out at all.
The day of revelry seemed to pass very quickly. No matter how lively and merry they were, the members of the Son of Dan Slave still had very good self-control. After the anniversary celebration ended, they seized the time to clean up and rest. Although they drank a lot of wine, they didn't drink because they wanted to get drunk.
At eight o 'clock the next morning, Xiao Ran's room door was gently knocked. Xiao Ran, who had already woken up, opened the door and saw Kalinin, the battle commander, standing in front of him.
Kalinin nodded slightly when he saw Xiao Ran. "We've obtained the information on the other side. Colonel Tessa and Lieutenant Colonel Richard hope that you can participate in the meeting."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded and left the room with Kalinin. On the way, he called El Erf and Lomba and went directly to the meeting room of the Son of Dan Slave.
In the meeting room, there were only Tessa, Richard, and a few captains of the operation team. The first meeting was to analyze the enemy's strength, defensive arrangements, and so on, so combat members like Sosuke Xiangliang, Melissa Mao, and Kirrlutz weren't qualified to participate.
Xiao Ran, who entered the meeting room, nodded to everyone present. Then, he led El Erf and Lomba to a quiet place to sit down. Kalinin walked to the front and began to describe the information obtained in detail.
"First of all, the current US military base has been completely occupied by an unknown armed group. According to the information obtained, the unknown armed group used a brand-new AS. According to the intelligence department's speculation, this AS should be a third-generation AS manufactured by the Soviet Union. Its combat capability is far superior to the M6 used by the US military, and it's closer to the M9 used by us."
"At the same time, according to the information obtained, there's a body that uses special functions. It's this one."
Kalinin pointed at the projection behind him. On the projection, there was a red AS surrounded by circles of light. It blocked the artillery attack of the US military base, and then rushed into the US military base to wreak havoc. This red AS was almost exactly the same as the King of Hell captured by Xiao Ran, except for the color, of course.
After this video appeared, Tessa and Richard also glanced in the direction of Xiao Ran. It was a subconscious action because Xiao Ran once captured such an identical body as a barbarian.
However, Xiao Ran also frowned slightly after watching the video. After seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said, "It should be the AS driven by the person named Jiu Long. The body's action pattern is very similar, but the use of the Lambda Driver has improved a lot, and this new King of Hell has probably been greatly improved in terms of heat dissipation."
"So, Mr. Arikos, are you sure you can deal with him?" Kalinin nodded and asked.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Xiao Ran nodded. Even if Jiu Long is driving a new King of Hell and can use the Lambda Driver with higher power and longer duration, Xiao Ran is still confident that he can deal with him.
After all, this King of Hell was very different from the giant beast he had encountered before. That giant beast's body was too huge, and its armor was ridiculously thick. Even so, Xiao Ran was able to suppress it, let alone a King of Hell that was the same size as the Demon King. Its armor was even more incomparable.
Kalinin nodded, "Then I will leave this King of Hell to you, Mr. Arikos. Sergeant Sosuke Sagara will also join the operation and can support you at any time."
Tessa stuck out her tongue and said, "Fortunately, due to the preparations for the anniversary celebration, Mr. Arikos, your King of Hell's body hasn't been sent to Japan yet. Because we know that you will be coming this time, we also put your King of Hell's body on the Dan Slave's Son, so you can also participate in the battle."
Xiao Ran smiled slightly when he heard Tessa's words. He didn't mind that the King of Hell's body wasn't sent to Japan. However, even if it was sent to Japan, Mithril would probably ship it back when they knew that Xiao Ran would help them.
After Tessa finished speaking, Kalinin tapped on the projection behind him again. The projection turned into a bird 's-eye view of a small island with many standard lines and buildings.
"According to the current investigation, the defense division of the unknown armed forces is like this. They have set up a solid defense line with the base as the core. The red dot on the map is a warehouse. Currently, all the American soldiers are being held hostage in this warehouse. So far, the unknown armed forces haven't made any announcements to the outside world, nor have they made any requests."
"In addition to suppressing the unknown armed forces, our mission is also to rescue these imprisoned US soldiers. This time, the Special Operations Team will take the lead in this operation. We will use the underwater method to enter the island and attack from two sides at the same time."
"Because we aren't sure which side the enemy's AS with special systems will appear on, Mr. Arikos and Sergeant Sosuke Sagara will each join a team. If you encounter the red AS, everyone must evacuate immediately and leave it to Mr. Arikos and Sergeant Sosuke Sagara to deal with it. This is an order, not a request."
"After you break through the first line of defense, the air force will be dispatched. At that time, two AS will descend directly from above the warehouse to launch a surprise attack and rescue the detained UA military hostages. At the same time, the air force will bombard their line of defense after you suppress the unknown armed forces to eliminate their effective forces."
"In this operation, although we need them alive to obtain the information we need, the safety of all team members is still the first priority. There's no need to deliberately hold back."
Soon, Kalinin told everyone the results of the intelligence and analysis, as well as the tactical arrangements. After Kalinin stopped, Xiao Ran also turned to look at El Erf beside him. Seeing El Erf nodding slightly, Xiao Ran didn't say anything about the operation plan.
