Chapter 198: The Wind of the Hometown (III)

Not long after Li Boyong's armed convoy entered Helmakistan, it encountered a small-scale sandstorm. Li Boyong, who was not familiar with the surrounding area, did not risk continuing forward, but cautiously chose to hide in the Mula Canyon temporarily.

Li Boyong and Shihe hid together in the cab of a truck, and the back of this truck was loaded with the Hell Monarch obtained from the organization.

After obtaining this unit, Li Boyong tried the Lambda Driver adaptability between himself and Shihe, but the Lambda Driver did not react to either of them.

Zhuomo from A21 could successfully activate the driver, but as a pilot, Zhuomo's technique and mental state were too unstable, and he was not very reassuring in terms of loyalty, so Li Boyong did not hand the unit to Zhuomo.

Helplessly, Li Boyong had to choose to spend points to learn skills from the system that would allow him to use the Lambda Driver.

Lambda Driver Adaptability (LV1): Allows the owner to activate the Lambda Driver with a certain probability, and the power changes with the user's will attribute. (Learning requires 10 plot points, 5 battle merit points, and can be upgraded using points.)

Since arriving in the Full Metal Panic world, Li Boyong had accumulated quite a few points, so it could be said that learning this skill was not strenuous.

It was just that the description and learning conditions of this skill made him quite painful.

Such metaphysical things as a certain probability inevitably made him, a non-chief in mobile games, feel guilty.

At the same time, the power linked to the will attribute also made Li Boyong, who had a relatively low attribute, hesitate.

And the most painful thing was the learning condition: fight against a Lambda Driver-equipped machine in actual combat and survive.

System, I suspect you are making things difficult for me...

What is this suicidal learning condition?

What is the standard for fighting and surviving, DIO!

Is it enough to just hold on?

Or how many shockwaves to dodge?

Or how far the distance is after the engagement, and how long the time is?

So for the sake of safety, Li Boyong first learned another skill—Precognition.

Precognition: Increases the owner's ability to dodge unconventional weapons with a certain probability. (E. g., psychokinesis, mental power, Lambda Driver, and other super-class weapons.)

This was the only skill he could learn that targeted the Lambda Driver, and the cost was not high, so learn it first.

If he had to face Jiulong's Hell Monarch or Sousuke's Arbalest, it might help him survive.

Of course, if the plan went without accidents, he could take the nuclear bomb first in the chaos, and then find an opportunity to solve Jiulong who was defeated by Sousuke. In that case, there would be no need to go up and fight for his life.

The small-scale sandstorm lasted for half a day. Li Boyong directed the convoy to continue forward, and at the same time established contact with the intelligence network established by Wang Liumei in Helmakistan.

Yes, this eldest lady of the Wang family actually had the energy to build an intelligence network while working hard to build Azadistan.

Most of the intelligence personnel were selected from Azadistan people who had fled to foreign countries during years of war, and developed through the original interpersonal relationships within the Azadistan people.

As Li Boyong established contact with the intelligence network, some intelligence about Helmakistan began to gather into Li Boyong's hands continuously.

For example, villagers in a remote village heard movements similar to fighting.

For example, the garrison of a certain base suddenly dispatched urgently, even including the extremely precious and rare land aviation troops of Helmakistan.

It seems that Sousuke had already engaged with Jiulong, and should have seized the nuclear bomb as in the original work, otherwise the regular army of this country would not have dispatched so hurriedly.

After all, if there was no problem with the nuclear bomb, the Helmakistan government would not be likely to mobilize the army to pursue Mithril, but should remain silent and continue the transaction.

Think about it, secretly buying a nuclear bomb, and then having it snatched on one's own turf, the Helmakistan government must feel extremely stimulated now.

However, the problem also came. Sousuke might lead the team to the village where the guerrillas were stationed in the past as in the original work.

But that village was destroyed during the war. At that time, no Azadistan people fleeing would take Helmakistan, which was also in the midst of war, as the destination for fleeing.

So this led to the current intelligence network not being able to provide the specific location of that village.

Of course, the approximate location could still be locked. After all, during the civil strife before, the area where the guerrillas were most active was only that big.

In short, the convoy continued to move forward, and the intelligence network was also providing intelligence continuously, but there was still no clue.

Time passed bit by bit, and Li Boyong's mentality gradually became irritable.

On the other side, Sousuke's mentality also became irritable.

Due to the stubborn refusal of the temporary teammates to listen to his suggestions, the operation to eliminate Jiulong was frustrated.

Facing Jiulong's Hell Monarch, the action team lost two M9s, the captain was killed, and there was one seriously injured person, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

What was worse was that the only first-aid kit in the whole team turned into dust in the sandstorm along with the captain's unit. In order to save the life of the seriously injured person, Sousuke had to lead the team to the village where the guerrillas had been stationed.

Although fortunately, they found the first-aid kit there and rescued the life of the seriously injured person, the injured person after the surgery obviously could not move immediately.

The action team could only stay in place temporarily, and Sousuke was extremely worried about this. Jiulong also knew this place.

Because it was Jiulong who led the team to destroy this village back then.

To be on the safe side, Sousuke chose to set an ambush outside the village.

Unfortunately, it was seen through, because there were comrades-in-arms Sousuke had in the guerrillas among the enemies, and the other party knew Sousuke's thoughts like the back of their hand.

Sousuke, who went out to set an ambush, was instead surrounded, and the village where the action team was located was attacked by the Hell Monarch.

So Sousuke was irritable. He was powerless to break through the enemy's encirclement in a short time, but Jiulong's figure was not seen among the enemies. It was not hard to imagine that the other party went to find the action team.

Relying on the M9, it was impossible to compete with the Hell Monarch equipped with a Lambda Driver, and there might not even be any strength to fight back.

However, no matter how worried he was about his teammates, he had to deal with the enemy in front of him first.

Red Phantom, AS Gatling gun, as expected, it was Zait...

Former comrades-in-arms had to decide life and death on this hometown. The brief reunion was destined to have someone fall. Fate was really a bastard who liked to play with people's hearts.

While Sousuke was fighting with his former comrades-in-arms, the battle in the village where the guerrillas were located had already come to an end. Jiulong relied on the Lambda Driver to simply solve Mithril's action team.

Casually nailing an M9 to the rock on the side with a molecular knife, Jiulong was not in a hurry to recover the nuclear bomb, but waited for Sousuke's arrival with ease.

That kid's unit was also equipped with a Lambda Driver. Zait's group probably couldn't handle it. It seemed that he could take revenge for the Shun'an Airport here.

Failing to get Chidori Kaname seemed to have caused his evaluation within the organization to drop quite a bit, otherwise why would a new Executive Candidate be added.

Then it was just right to defeat Mithril's Lambda Driver-equipped machine here, and by the way, make an end to the original fate.

It was just that, for some reason, during the time waiting for Sousuke, Jiulong always had a very bad premonition.

As expected, should he recover the nuclear bomb first?

Jiulong hesitated for a moment, and drove the Hell Monarch towards the truck carrying the nuclear bomb. ===== CHAPTER 199 =====
