Byron's Blade

Lunch was not bad. Mu Li thought she could only eat western food like bread and thick soup. Unexpectedly, lunch was Chinese style, thick millet porridge, served with a few light and delicious side dishes, and let her eat it. Extremely comfortable.

Looking at her "patients" again, it seems that only she has such special treatment, and the rest eat bread and soup.

She was really hungry, and she ate her lunch quickly, and when the nurse quickly took away the dishes, she got out of bed, put on her camouflage uniform and military boots, and was going to find Lieutenant Jill in the South Bunker.

When the "patients" saw that she was going out, they didn't stop her. Almost everyone here was her subordinate. She walked out of the military tent and received salutes from both sides.The way of saluting was the same as Huaxia's military salute, she remembered it in her heart, and returned a military salute to everyone with a smile.

Her left arm was still hanging, and she felt a dull pain. When she opened the curtain and went out, she was attracted by the scene in front of her.

The noisy scene came rushing forward. Many green military tents were erected on a large open space paved with gravel. The military tent she was in was one of them. Looking around, there could be dozens of them, neatly arranged. They are neatly arranged in two rows, with a spacious passage in the center.At this moment, many soldiers were shuttling through the open space, most of them were uninjured soldiers, some seemed scattered in twos and threes, and some were in groups of ten, forming a neat team, moving forward in an orderly manner, and there were officers shouting passwords .

What surprised him the most was that in the distance from the passage formed by the military tents, he could see a large open space like a parking lot, where neat rows of mechs were parked, which immediately caught her attention.

She stepped on the gravel and walked towards the square where the mechas were parked. Many soldiers on the road saw her and hurriedly stood at attention and raised their hands to salute her. She had no choice but to return the salutes one by one.After finally walking through the passage to the square, she was completely fascinated by the four-meter-high mecha in front of her.

The mech doesn't look bulky, the lines around the body are streamlined, and the exterior is painted in camouflage green, which feels very neat.The mecha has machine guns on its arms, a howitzer on its back, and a huge scabbard on its legs, with an electromagnetic mecha knife stored in the scabbard.Mu Li deliberately checked the information with the bracelet ID. This mecha is the standard mecha in the army—Aris 1 type. It is the most common. As long as it is a mecha soldier who has passed the mecha combat driving test, he can own one.Their unit is a mecha unit, and it is not uncommon to have a large number of standard mechas.

Not far away, a team seemed to be about to go on a mission, and a large number of mech soldiers were boarding the cabin.I saw the abdomen of the standard mech opened wide, revealing the cockpit. The mecha soldiers equipped with powered exoskeletons skillfully logged into the cockpit, and connected the powered exoskeleton with several cards in the cockpit of the mech. The position was stuck, the hatch was closed, and the energy storage was activated. In less than five seconds, the four-meter-tall guy started to move.

Mu Li felt itchy in his heart, and immediately wanted to experience the feeling of driving a mech.But now that she was injured, her own mecha was gone, and she didn't seem to know how to drive the mecha, so she could only look at the mecha soldiers who were on missions and sighed.

This mecha troop with a mission set out, and all the mechas walked through the towering wall pass in unison, and walked towards the primitive jungle outside.The movement of the mecha was not much, except for the rustling sound of stepping on the gravel ground, there was only a slight creaking sound of hydraulic pressure.It seems that the material of the mecha is very light, and there is no feeling of heavy vibration when walking.

The leading mecha at the front of the team is not quite the same as Ares 1, mainly because the appearance lines look smoother, and at the same time, it carries more and higher-end weapons.Mu Li checked and found that it was Ares 2, a mecha that can only be equipped at the lieutenant level.My mecha is also of this model, but it has been lost.

When the lead mecha passed through the gate of the outer wall of the base, Mu Li heard a strange sound, similar to the feeling when the door of the air pressure chamber was opened.Mu Li knew in his heart that when the pass was opened, in order to maintain normal air pressure, such a sound would be made.Therefore, the mecha brigade leaves the gate of the base batch by batch, because the capacity of the air pressure buffer zone is limited.

She has seen in the materials before that because the natural atmosphere is heavily polluted and full of radiation, humans can only create a clean air environment by themselves.Whether it is the main city of the Federation that she has not seen so far, or the Griffin base where they are now, there is a hemispherical air filter cover in the sky, which is maintained by special equipment, which can not only filter and purify the air, but also Shield radiation and maintain a better living environment.This air cover is not a solid filter cover, and Mu Li doesn't understand the specific principle. He only knows that rain, snow, wind and sand will still fall through naturally, and birds can also pass through freely.

She looked up at the sky. The Griffin base was located on a hill with relatively sparse vegetation, so there were no towering tall trees to obscure her view. The sky above her head was gloomy and covered with lead clouds.That cloud is not blue-gray, but with a layer of sulfur yellow, very dirty.Sunlight is rare. Although the volcanic ash covering the sky has almost dissipated, due to the climate change, there are always more dark clouds and rainy days than sunny days, and the average temperature of the entire world has been lowered by nearly ten degrees.So although it is hot summer now, the temperature is not very high.

After distinguishing the direction, Mu Li saw a large blockhouse on the slope to the south from a long distance, which was integrated with the base wall.That should be her destination, and Lieutenant Jill is waiting for her on it.

Walking slowly, the military boots rustled on the gravel ground.The quality of these combat boots is quite good. Mu Li felt it when he put them on. The material is not like cowhide, and Mu Li can't tell what material it is made of.There is also the camouflage combat uniform she wears on her body, which is a jacket style, with a hood on the back, and the material is also very strong.The short-sleeved camouflage t-shirt inside is made of cotton, which is sweat-absorbent and breathable. It is really luxurious. The military equipment in this world is too exaggerated.

Walking to the south gate of the bunker, two guard soldiers with submachine guns/guns saw her and immediately stood at attention and saluted. Mu Li returned the salute and entered the bunker.Once in, the temperature drops a few degrees.Mu Li actually felt a little cold, and pulled the coat, but her hands were still hanging, and the coat couldn't be put on.

Looking around, the south blockhouse is facing a wall, with stairs going up on both sides, and there is nothing else.She can only go up the stairs and reach the second floor.As soon as the second floor comes up, there is an empty hall, with gun holes on the outer wall, and several soldiers with rifles/guns on their backs are patrolling.There is also a table in the corner of the hall, on which there is a strange instrument, which Mu Li can't quite understand.At first she thought it was a radio, but after thinking about it carefully, she found it impossible. Although the communication in this world still uses radio, the equipment should not be so backward.

There is also a female soldier sitting behind that instrument. The female soldier looks very quiet and wears glasses.As soon as she noticed Mu Li, she immediately stood up from behind the table, walked forward a few steps, and saluted.Mu Li had no choice but to return the gift again.The female soldier then said:

"Second Lieutenant Mu, the lieutenant is waiting, please follow me."

The female soldier led her through the corridor, passed by many patrolling soldiers, climbed the stairs from the other end to the third floor, walked around a curved corridor, and finally stopped in front of the office at the end.The female soldier knocked on the door three times and said loudly:

"Report! Lieutenant Mu Li has arrived."

"Come in!" A deep female voice came from inside the door.The female soldier helped Mu Li open the door, leaned over to invite her in, Mu Li stepped in, and saw four people inside the room.

A desk, sitting behind the desk was an elderly man who seemed to have passed his sixtieth year, wearing a military uniform instead of the combat uniform worn by Mu Li and the others.A female officer in camouflage combat uniform was sitting on the leather sofa in front of the desk, and a man and a woman stood behind her, who seemed to be her adjutants.The female officer on the sofa has short brown hair, blue eyes, and a wheat complexion. She looks pretty.The two adjutants were Caucasian women, pretty and cute, with freckles on their faces.The man was black, but not very dark, and seemed to be of Latin American descent.

As soon as Mu Li came in, the old officer sitting behind the desk stood up and walked around the desk towards Mu Li.

This was the first time Mu Li saw the official military uniform of the federal army, and he couldn't help admiring secretly, what a handsome military uniform!Lapel-style double-breasted military uniform with dark green as the main color.He wears a large-brimmed hat with the emblem of the Federal Army on his head, and two golden olive branches on the black brim.The seniority plate is hung on the left chest, the army badge and name plate are hung on the right chest, and the military rank on the shoulder is the rank of captain.Lined with snow-white formal shirt, pure black tie.Tie the outer belt, with a gun on the right and a saber on the left.The lower body is military trousers of the same color, with two gold threads rolled into the seams, and long riding boots.

It's just that this is the military uniform of male officers, and Mu Li doesn't know what the uniforms of female officers look like.Moreover, the elderly officer seemed to be in a different unit from them, perhaps there was a difference in the military uniform.

This old officer is of Russian origin, with a rather conspicuous hooked nose.Although he is old, he is in good shape, walks vigorously, and wears the military uniform neatly and meticulously.Out of the habit of serving in the army for many years, Mu Li saluted him naturally, and the old officer also returned the salute, saying:

"What a disaster, Second Lieutenant Mu Li, your injury is not serious."

"Thank you, Captain Rodcliffe, I'm fine."

Although he didn't introduce himself, Mu Li could easily guess the identity of the elderly officer in front of him.Captain Rodcliffe is the military chief of the Griffin Field Station.The federal army is not easy to mix, he was moved here three years ago by the left.Mu Li guessed that he might meet him, so he did his homework in advance.

Regarding the outfield base, Mu Li has also done his homework.At present, the total human population is 5 million, densely clustered in a vast area with a radius of 600 million square kilometers.Mu Li has seen the whole map of the Federation, from Siberia in old Russia in the north to Bashu in old China in the south, Mohe in Heilongjiang in the east in the east, and Karaganda in old Kazakhstan in the west.The seven city-states are closely adjacent to each other, separated by city walls, and look like a huge inverted triangle.This is the living mother land that human beings have spent hundreds of years and finally gained a foothold.

In order to obtain a better living environment, human beings are working hard to expand their territory, so every year the army will conduct a large number of outland exploration operations.So far, more than 300 outfield bases, large and small, have been established around the seven major city-states.The larger one is called the base area and the smaller one is called the base station.For example, the "Secret Area [-]" that Mu Li and his team went to for this mission is a very large outfield base area.As for the Griffin base station, it can only be regarded as an outpost of the confidential area one.Serving as an officer in a field base far away from the main city of the Federation is quite miserable to say the least. As a small base at the base station level, Griffin's monthly supplies are even more pitiful.

Therefore, in Mu Li's eyes, Captain Rodcliff in front of him became worthy of sympathy.The old captain didn't know what Mu Li was thinking, he just smiled and said to the female officer sitting on the sofa:

"Then, Lieutenant Gill, I still have some things to deal with, you can talk slowly."

Lieutenant Jill had stood up at this moment, and said politely: "Alright Captain, go slowly."

Watching the old captain leave the office, Lieutenant Jill withdrew his gaze and looked at Mu Lilai with a smile.Mu Li stood straight in front of her, and decided not to speak first, so as not to reveal his secrets.Although the official level crushes people to death, it also depends on real power.From Lieutenant Jill's performance in front of Captain Rodcliffe, Mu Li could see the clue.Jill was young, and served as a mid-level commander in the ace division, with a promising future; while Rodcliffe was old, pushed out to a small place like the outfield base station, and had to bow his head to Jill, who had a lower rank than him.His own office was forced to be vacated for Jill to use.And judging from her current contact with Jill, this female lieutenant is a person with a very strong personality, smart and courageous, so she should be careful not to let her find out that something is wrong.

"Second Lieutenant Mu Li, sit down, your injury is still not healed, don't hold back."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Jill." Mu Li was very obedient, and sat on the single sofa, with his back straight and well-behaved.

Jill looked at Mu Li, and said after a long while: "You have just been transferred to our No. [-] Squadron and you have encountered such a serious mission accident. To be honest, I feel ashamed and I feel sorry for you."

Mu Li was startled, he collected himself, and replied: "What did the lieutenant say, it's killing me."

Jill smiled and said: "You have a good record in the Central Army. You are a soldier who fought all the way from the bottom. Although you are not under my command, I admire you very much. I never beat around the bush when I speak. How about it? Don't want to be friends with me?"

Mu Li frowned.
