Chapter 1310: Guarding the Communications Tower
Half a minute later.
Zhao Chen then received a reply.
"Although the communication equipment was damaged."
High-frequency, long-distance quantum communication is not possible, but it's still feasible within a few star systems.
Song Chen's words relieved Zhao Chen.
As for narrowing down the scope, judging from Song Chen's tone, there must be spies they have placed in this universe within this area.
"However, the communication equipment here is rather old."
Communication transmission takes some time.
Furthermore, we also need to encrypt it.
So it will take about twenty minutes.” Song Chen’s tone was very low at this moment.
You could tell that she herself was very aware of how long those twenty minutes were at this moment.
News of their attack on this planet must have already spread.
We don't know how many enemies are on their way.
Zhao Chen set up a 20-minute countdown.
"I understand, twenty minutes."
"I don't want to work overtime," Zhao Chen said calmly.
Judging from Zhao Chen's tone, Song Chen felt as if he had some idea.
Are you sure?
"I'm confident I can do it within twenty minutes."
Twenty minutes later.
"I don't work overtime," Zhao Chen said.
At this moment, this guy actually had time to joke with me.
Song Chen took a deep breath and said seriously, "Just twenty minutes."
Within these twenty minutes, you have the authority to command all our personnel here.
"To be precise, it's 19 minutes and 22 seconds now," Zhao Chen said.
This guy.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything more.
He didn't immediately give orders to Song Chen's side, because he knew that Song Chen didn't have many people left.
Originally there were only thirty-odd people, but after the battle at the communications tower, it is estimated that only half of them still have fighting power.
"Colonel Zhao Chen."
What should we do next?
Wait a minute, the enemy will definitely send a large number of shuttles or even interstellar warships to provide support.
With our limited firepower, it will be difficult to withstand them.
"If I had known, we would have brought out a few mechs earlier," Zhao Jie said with some regret.
Actually, I'm a little envious; Zhao Chen is now able to pilot a mecha.
That vehicle is much better than his current ordinary armored vehicle.
"Your resumes don't show much ability to pilot combat mechs."
"Letting you drive those big machines will only make you sitting ducks," Zhao Chen said bluntly.
Zhao Jie felt somewhat embarrassed.
But what Zhao Chen said was indeed true.
Piloting a mech requires specialized training. They only have some understanding of combat mechs, and some may be able to operate training mechs and make them move around.
But to actually fight, that's a completely different concept.
What's more, these are all combat mechs from enemy universes.
They were even less familiar with it.
Thinking about all this, Zhao Jie admired Zhao Chen's abilities even more, but at the same time, he was also very puzzled.
Why was Zhao Chen able to decipher the enemy mech's access permissions in such a short time and operate it so freely?
Who exactly is this Zhao Chen?
He's just a colonel?
Previously, Zhao Jie was unconvinced that Zhao Chen was so young yet only a colonel.
But now he feels that even the rank of colonel is not worthy of such a person.
"Can we withstand the enemy's attack?"
"It also depends on whether the enemy cooperates with us," Zhao Chen said coldly.
"Huh?" Zhao Jie didn't understand what Zhao Chen meant.
Zhao Chen was currently piloting a quasi-T4 long-range rifleman-class medium combat mech, and had arrived at the foot of the communications tower.
There are still many enemy troops here, but they are being overwhelmed by the spearman mechs.
These soldiers had no chance of escaping slaughter.
There should still be enemy soldiers inside the communications tower.
"You can stay here and hold your position. With the weapons you've scavenged and this armored vehicle, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Zhao Chen asked Zhao Jie.
“No problem,” Zhao Jie replied.
Then he immediately followed up with, "So what are you planning to do?"
"Wait." Zhao Chen uttered an incomprehensible word.
Then, Zhao Chen was seen controlling the spearman mech to climb the outer wall of the communications tower.
The mecha, which should have been bulky, was handled by Zhao Chen like an ordinary rock climbing enthusiast.
Walking on the outer wall is like walking on flat ground.
Zhao Jie looked up at the spearman mech that was gradually shrinking, and he swallowed hard.
I was once again amazed by Zhao Chen's skills.
This is simply a monster.
Being able to pilot a fighter jet, whether in the army or in space, is an ace-level skill.
Furthermore, his physical abilities are terrifyingly strong; even he, a former interstellar marine, is ashamed of his own abilities.
If he can also command interstellar warships, wouldn't he be an all-around talent?
Zhao Jie couldn't imagine it.
thump thump thump
Those inside the communications tower's control room felt a tremor akin to an earthquake.
What happened?
"Where did this noise come from?" Song Chen asked, puzzled.
Just then, someone outside shouted, "Report! A mech is climbing the outer wall of the communications tower!"
It looks...it looks like Colonel Zhao Chen's pikeman!
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Song Chen immediately walked to the wall and stood in front of a broken French window.
Completely disregarding the fact that they were hundreds of meters above the ground, they stuck their heads out and looked down.
His pupils dilated in disbelief.
Because it really was a mech, climbing the outer wall of the communications tower like a spider.
Soon, the mech arrived at their location.
Song Chen watched helplessly as the mecha leaped over their floor and continued climbing upwards.
Unable to contain himself, Song Chen asked over the communication channel, "Zhao Chen, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"I'm just doing my job," Zhao Chen said calmly.
Mission accomplished?
Complete the mission: use a mech to climb tall buildings?
"not good!
"The enemy's interstellar warships are coming!" someone shouted.
A soldier on observation pointed to a small dot in the distance, which grew larger as it approached.
Song Chen's expression began to turn sour.
That was the enemy's T3 interstellar warship.
He recognized the model.
On the interstellar battlefield, they are cannon fodder.
T3 Fox Hunter medium-sized star destroyer.
But here!
For them, that was ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) a boss-level existence.
"At this distance... in about three minutes, the enemy's weapons will be able to lock onto us!"
The weapons on the starship, if they so choose.
It could directly destroy the communications tower we are in.
Even if they wanted to destroy this city, it would be an easy task. Song Chen's mood plummeted.
Starships are the kind of weapons that can instill despair in people in this era.
There is none other than this!
