203. Military intervention

　Erina Nakiri ran wildly across the plains, the tropical rainforest exuding an eeriness.

　She ran and ran, and suddenly she came to this place.

　But she gradually realized something was wrong. She heard engine sounds all around her and looked around, trying to pinpoint the direction of the sounds.

　Getting closer and closer.

　Soon, a huge dark shadow appeared on the side.

　Erina Nakiri finally saw clearly what it was.

　Soul, soul is weak! !

　This, this is clearly a... tank!!

　……

　While Sanzenin Arashi and her companions were still on their blissful escape, the fighting in the direction of the old Allied airfield had gradually subsided.

　The army of Saradia was utterly humiliated.

　They originally planned to disguise this place as an ISIS base, but... it really turned out to be an important ISIS stronghold!

　Originally, the president of Saradia, in order to demonstrate his 'determination,' even dispatched the country's only missile launcher and more than a dozen tanks. However, they have all been destroyed, with only one badly damaged tank escaping into the rainforest and its whereabouts unknown.

　President Saladian was utterly despondent, and his army suffered a crushing defeat.

　But at that moment, within five minutes, the ISIS base was razed to the ground.

　Hundreds of long-range ballistic missiles bombarded this area.

　Even President Saladian doesn't know who did it!

　This happiness came so quickly, it was completely unexpected.

　Before he could make any preparations, a telegram from the United Nations arrived.

　The contents of the telegram sent a chill down the spine of the President, who also served as Commander-in-Chief of the nation, as he stared at the letter with a mixture of emotions.

　Using the disappearance of its key officials within Saradia as a pretext, Britain, with the permission of a peace conference, directly intervened militarily in Saradia.

　Their troops are advancing towards the border.

　Those hundreds of missiles came from twenty surface-to-surface destroyers.

　The president should have been overjoyed to see such news, but a message from above made him anything but happy.

　The flight carrying the British official made an emergency landing in Saradia.

　Upon seeing the flight number, his heart skipped a beat.

　This is a huge mistake!!!

　……

　At that moment, Sanzenin Arashi was carrying Kafuu Chino on her back and running wildly.

　In the midst of their frantic run, Lin Jian and he became separated.

　There was no way around it; the visibility was too low, and the only source of light was a highly focused tactical flashlight. But perhaps he was walking too fast, and Lin Jian simply couldn't keep up.

　After getting rid of those damned gorillas, Sanzenin Arashi stopped and prepared to regroup.

　Moreover, running wildly through the rainforest at night is no joke.

　One wrong move and someone could die!

　"How are you feeling?" After putting Chino Kafuu on the ground, Arashi Sanzenin wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Tell me if you feel unwell anywhere."

　The little girl looked terrible; after all, she had been dragged around for over an hour, and her little body was practically falling apart from the shaking.

　But she rallied and said, "It's okay, I'm fine now."

　Sanzenin Arashi collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. This kind of 10-kilometer sprint is absolutely inhuman.

　He was utterly exhausted. He was half dead when he got off the plane. The hand that had been holding the little girl was almost numb, and he nearly turned into Yang Guo (a character from a Chinese folktale known for his weakness).

　"Uncle, let's rest for a bit, then we'll get back on track." Sanzenin Arashi patted Chino's head. "Chino, be good, don't wander off."

　It's incredible that a seven-year-old girl could remain so calm.

　Unexpectedly, Kafuu Chino tugged at Sanzenin Arashi's arm.

　"Huh? What's the matter?"

　"Uncle Lan... I need to use the restroom."

　Sanzenin Arashi rubbed his temples: "Afraid of the dark?"

　Kafuu Chino turned her head away, "I'm not afraid."

　Look at me and say that!

　Sanzenin Arashi stood up and was about to take the little girl's delicate hand when he suddenly turned around with a start.

　The surrounding terrain is relatively wide now, and we should have reached the edge of the rainforest. We can leave this awful place after walking for a while.

　There were far fewer mosquitoes, and the air wasn't so cold, but... a faint glimmer of light could be seen in the darkness.

　Sanzenin Arashi's face darkened.

　He made a shushing gesture to Chino Kafuu.

　The little girl was startled, and her two slender, fair legs instinctively clamped together.

　Well, isn't it the same 'shh' sound you use when coaxing a child to go to the toilet?

　Is this a conditioned reflex?

　But Sanzenin Arashi wasn't in the mood to pay attention to such things. He told Kafuu Chino to stay where she was, and then he walked towards the light with cat-like steps.

　This is a tropical rainforest; with lights on, it's all very confusing.

　Turning off the tactical flashlight, and slowly parting the bushes, Sanzenin Arashi approached cautiously, pulling back the bushes to take a look.

　My heart skipped a beat.

　The dense bushes were cleared away, and two soldiers were warming themselves around a campfire, with a huge creature parked beside them.

　The vehicle is made of steel, with two tracks, a dark gun barrel, and a sharp, angular design.

　This is clearly a field-specific tank; it hasn't even had its jungle camouflage removed yet.

　Sanzenin Arashi carefully observed the two soldiers.

　Judging from the clothing... well, Sanzenin Arashi clearly doesn't recognize what the military insignia on it is.

　He had never seen a logo with this design before, but with a simple deduction, he came to a conclusion.

　These are soldiers of Saradia.

　That explains why he didn't recognize the military insignia.

　Upon seeing this, Sanzenin Arashi raised his gun. Without any hesitation, he aimed at the two soldiers.

　This is a war zone, and these two brothers are sitting here warming themselves by the fire?

　And you're still eating roasted sweet potatoes?

　Ha ha.

　go to hell!

　Pull the trigger, the rifling pulls, and the spent cartridge case flies through the air.

　Flames shot out from the gun barrel.

　Bang bang bang!

　The two soldiers fell to the ground.

　Sanzenin Arashi breathed a sigh of relief.

　We're safe now.

　Because I fucking stole a tank!!!

　..

204. Attack of Erina Nakiri

　After killing the two soldiers, Sanzenin Arashi immediately lay down on the ground and didn't get up for two minutes.

　He was worried that there might be people inside the tank, so he observed the situation.

　It appears to be safe now; the Cold War-era tank remains completely still.

　He quickly ran to the tank, climbed up, and opened the driver's compartment hatch, only to find that there was indeed no one inside.

　Inside the tank's driver's compartment were more than a dozen empty shell casings, each about the thickness of a calf, and three complete shells were placed beside them.

　Regarding the handling issues, Sanzenin Arashi checked the model of the tank.

　M60A3 main battle tank.

　It's something the US discarded, but in a godforsaken place like Saradia, it's undoubtedly an invincible war machine.

　2400 horsepower hydraulic mechanical continuously variable transmission.

　12-cylinder wind-powered diesel engine.

　That's enough to rampage through the rainforest!

　As for encountering obstacles... fire the main gun!

　Blow it up, you bastard!!

　Sanzenin Arashi gripped the joysticks with both hands and operated them on the dashboard.

　The gun turret has good turning ability.

　He stepped on the gas, and the tank moved forward a few meters.

　The tracks are in good condition.

　Cannon door...

　Hmm, no need to try this.

　……

　After testing the old tank and confirming that everything was in order, Sanzenin Arashi got off, jogged over to Kafuu Chino, and grinned, "Uncle found the car."

　"Whoosh..." The little girl jumped up and said in a cute voice, "Let's get on!"

　A moment later, sitting in the driver's cab of the main battle tank, Sanzenin Arashi laughed heartily, "Let's go!"

　Turn on the main power switch! Pull down the diesel fuel lever! Start the electric motor and fuel pump! Depress the clutch pedal!

　Three Thousand Clouds and Mist drove straight towards the direction where Erina Nakiri had fled.

　She was walking, and if all goes well, I can catch up with her quickly.

　With the tank's night vision function activated, Sanzenin Arashi began rampaging through the jungle.

　They crushed a tree to pieces!

　Pebbles and the like don't even make a ripple under the tracks!

　Really cool!

　Delicious!

　……

　Erina Nakiri's soul is terrified.

　Behind me... a tank appeared!!!

　God has shown His divine intervention, and the Three Pure Ones have blessed us...
