Hand over Godzilla, and countries will beg me to eat nuclear waste.

Half an hour later,

The helicopter landed on the helipad of the core base of the Baekgang defense zone.

Luo Yu followed Zhan Kuang down the gangway, and the scene before him made him take a few more glances.

This is different from the nuclear power plant storage area I visited before.

The base covers a vast area, and soldiers in military uniforms are training everywhere. Gunshots can be heard from the shooting range in the distance, and people are sparring in the nearby fighting arena. The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder and sweat.

"This is the core training base of the Baekgang Defense Zone."

As he walked, the warrior explained, "He is mainly responsible for training elite awakened individuals and mech pilots."

Luo Yu nodded.

The two walked across the training field,

We arrived at a three-story gray building.

Five people were standing at the door.

Four men and one woman, all dressed in military uniforms, stood there ramrod straight.

"We're here." Zhan Kuang stopped and introduced, "This is your personal guard team."

Luo Yu was stunned for a moment.

A dedicated security team?

He thought he was just an ordinary bodyguard, but he didn't expect the military to take him so seriously.

Zhan Kuang stepped forward and said to the five men, "Attention, everyone!"

Snapped!

The five people stomped their feet at the same time, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Let me introduce myself.

Zhan Kuang pointed to the woman at the front, "This is your captain, Lieutenant Colonel Su Qingxue, an S-rank ice-type awakener."

Luo Yu looked at the woman.

She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender figure and a shapely figure. She had long black hair tied in pigtails, and her features were very delicate, with sharp eyes.

of course,

What is most striking about her is her temperament.

cold.

That chilling coldness that seeps into your bones makes you unconsciously want to keep your distance.

Su Qingxue stepped forward and saluted Luo Yu.

"Lieutenant Colonel Su Qingxue is ordered to protect Lieutenant Luo Yu."

"Um!!"

Luo Yu returned the salute: "Thank you for your hard work."

Su Qingxue didn't say anything and returned to her original position.

The War Maniac continued his introduction.

"These four are the vice-captains: Captain Zhang Da, B-level Strength Enhancement; Captain Li Ren, B-level Agility Enhancement; Captain Wang Gang, B-level Defense Enhancement; and Captain Zhao Dan, B-level Fire Enhancement."

Four men stepped forward in turn to salute.

Luo Yu returned the greetings one by one.

He noticed that all four were B-level Awakened, and they all looked to be around thirty years old and experienced.

"From today onwards, the five of you will be Lieutenant Luo Yu's personal bodyguards," Zhan Kuang said in a deep voice. "You have only one mission: to protect Lieutenant Luo Yu's safety and eliminate any threats in advance."

"Yes!" the five answered in unison.

Zhan Kuang turned to look at Luo Yu: "Is there a problem?"

"no."

Luo Yu shook his head.

He knew very well that the members of the exclusive guard team had definitely cultivated and exchanged their talents; whatever level of talent they possessed, that level of strength they would have.

"Alright then."

Zhan Kuang checked the time and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to the supply depot to pick out equipment."

Luo Yu followed Zhan Kuang forward.

Su Qingxue and her four teammates followed behind, maintaining a distance of three meters.

After walking for about five minutes,

We arrived at a heavily guarded building.

There were more than thirty fully armed soldiers standing at the entrance, each holding a gun.

Zhan Kuang took out his ID and swiped it on the access control.

drop--

The heavy alloy door slowly opened.

Inside was a long corridor with signs on the walls on both sides that read "No Photography" and "No Noise".

At the end of the corridor was an even larger door.

The warrior swiped his card again.

The door opened.

Inside was a huge warehouse.

Luo Yu walked in, and his eyes lit up instantly.

The warehouse was filled with all kinds of weapons and equipment.

Firearms, swords, grenades, explosives... everything is available.

The most eye-catching feature is the dozen or so mechs placed in the center of the warehouse.

It was a humanoid combat mech, about three meters tall, covered in heavy armor, with various weapon systems mounted on its arms.

"These are the latest equipment developed by the military." Zhan Kuang walked to a silver-white mech, patted its leg armor, and introduced, "This is the third-generation personal mech, codenamed 'Falcon'."

"The third generation?" Luo Yu walked over.

"That's right." War Maniac nodded. "The first-generation mechs were cumbersome and could only be used to deal with low-level monsters. The second-generation mechs were more agile, but their energy systems were unstable. The third-generation mechs solved these problems; they are not only lightweight and agile, but also have ample energy, allowing them to fight continuously for three hours."

Luo Yu circled the mecha once.

This mech has a very futuristic design, with a streamlined shell, two thrusters on its back, and energy cannons and melee blades on its arms.

"Its operating system is neural-based," War Maniac continued. "Once the binding is complete, your consciousness can directly control the mech, and the reaction speed is ten times faster than manual operation."

"sounds good."

Luo Yu touched the mecha's arm.

"It doesn't just sound good, it really is." Zhan Kuang laughed. "This mech cost fifty million to build, and there are only thirty of them in the entire country."

Luo Yu's hand froze.

Fifty million?

He suddenly became hesitant to touch it.

"Don't be nervous." Zhan Kuang saw through his thoughts. "This mech was prepared for you. It's okay if it breaks down. The country will cover the repairs."

"That's good." Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to bind it." Zhan Kuang walked to the mecha's control panel and entered a password.

The mech's chest opened, revealing a small cockpit.

"Go in and sit down."

Luo Yu climbed into the cockpit and sat in the seat.

The hatch closed automatically.

The cockpit lights came on, and a holographic screen appeared in front of us.

The third-generation personal mech – Falcon

[Start the binding process]

Please place your hands on the control panel.

Following the instructions, Luo Yu placed his hand on the control panel.

A sharp pain shot through my fingertip; I felt a prick.

[Collecting blood samples...]

[Analyzing genes...]

[Binding in progress...]

[Binding successful!]

Welcome, Lieutenant Luo Yu.

Various data about the mecha appeared on the holographic screen.

Energy: 100%

[Weapon System: Normal]

[Propulsion System: Normal]

[Neural connection: Established]

Luo Yu tried moving his fingers.

The mecha's arm moved accordingly.

He tried to stand up again.

The mecha slowly straightened up, its movements fluid and natural.

"How are you feeling?"

The voice of the warrior came from outside.

"Very good." Luo Yu loosened the joints of the mecha. "It's like wearing a piece of clothing."

"That's good." Zhan Kuang nodded in satisfaction. "In the future, if you encounter danger, activate the mech immediately. Although you have a pet, it's always good to have an extra layer of protection."

"clear."

Luo Yu stepped out of the mecha.

The warrior then took him to pick out some conventional weapons.

Special pistols, custom-made daggers, special grenades, and a set of lightweight bulletproof vests made of high-tech materials.

"Take all of these with you." Zhan Kuang handed the items to Luo Yu. "Although you are now a D-level Awakened, weapons are still necessary in case of emergencies."

Luo Yu took the equipment and put it all into his tactical backpack.

"Alright, that's enough about the equipment." Zhan Kuang said with a hint of anticipation, "Now head to the Baijiang Nuclear Power Plant and begin your first mission."

"Now?"

Luo Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Yes." Zhan Kuang nodded and said, "Some of the nuclear waste from the Baijiang Nuclear Power Plant has been disposed of. The rest requires your cooperation with Godzilla. Also... there are still a large number of radiation-infected mutants there that need to be cleared out first."

Luo Yu understood.

The radiation zone around the nuclear power plant must have bred many mutated organisms.

These mutated beasts feed on radiation and are extremely aggressive. The military region will only carry out cleanup operations as a last resort.

because,

The radiation zone imposes too many restrictions on both Awakened and mechs.

"When do we leave?"

"Now." Zhan Kuang turned and walked outside. "Su Qingxue, take your group and follow."

"yes!"

Su Qingxue and her four teammates immediately followed.

After half an hour.

Three military off-road vehicles were parked in front of the cordon around the Baekgang Nuclear Power Plant.

Luo Yu got out of the car.

Looking at the brightly lit nuclear power plant in the distance.

He had been here two days ago, but this time the feeling was completely different.

Last time he sneaked in, but this time he's here openly to carry out his mission.
