The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 70

Chapter 70


Big Black slowly came to halt . Zhang Wei and his team alighted from the front of the vehicle .

Qi Bai Jia saluted and introduced himself . "I am Qi Bai Jia, the staff officer who will be leading this mission . "

"Greetings . Happy to be working with you . " Zhang Wei nodded . Then he turned his head and smiled at Ma Qing Yang heartily while giving Ma Qing Yang a big hug .

On the other side, Lin Yao's eyes glittered upon seeing Di Su Su, his gaze tightly locked onto her . He waved his arm shyly . "Hello, Su Su Jie . "

"Little Lin Lin . " Di Su Su just ignored Lin Yao and walked past him toward Li Ya Lin while he was still mesmerized by her . She pinched Li Ya Lin's cheeks . "Tsk tsk . You have grown prettier since the last time I saw you . "

"Screw off . We are not that close . " Li Ya Lin frowned and shoved Di Su Su's annoying hand away .

Di Su Su was not bothered by it . She scanned around and asked curiously, "Where is your Mechanic? Where is he hiding?"

Li Ya Lin crossed her arms in front of her chest . She gave a cold look and refused to answer .

Zhang Wei answered, "He's a little tired, so he is still sleeping on the truck . "

"This truck is… . ?"

Zhang Wei stood upright and said with a face full of pride, "Our logistical support vehicle . "

Jealousy filled Ma Qing Yang and Di Su Su's teams . They gave their team leaders a bitter look .

"We want our own logistical support vehicle, too . "

Qi Bai Jia clapped his hand . "Okay . Time is running out . Let's move out . "

A military-use train was parked at the station . Instead of transporting the items using airplanes or regular cars, forty well-trained field personnel are loading boxes of firearms and ammunition onto the train .

Since the major expressways were destroyed, the Six Nations had focused on the development of a railway to connect various destinations . Military-use trains ran designated military railways, which made them faster than civilian trains . Three days was all that was required for the train to reach its destination .

The first five carriages comprised of the driving cabin, two bedrooms, the restaurant, and firearm storage respectively . The last few carriages were open air – specially made for carrying other vehicles . Li Ya Lin drove Big Black up onto the carriage . The field personnel locked it in place tightly and covered the truck with a dust-sheet .

Once everyone had boarded the train, it moved off . The train radiated under the fierce sunlight and drove into the dangerous and treacherous forested fields .

… .

Han Xiao woke up soon after he felt the vibration of the train .

The ceiling of the carriage was installed with lamps that illuminated the room under a soft white light . The carriage was filled with lifeless, ice-cold machines and mechanical weapons, but they actually gave him a sense of security .

Han Xiao rubbed his eyes forcefully before he got his full concentration back . He opened the carriage door only to realize that he was on a high-speed train that was already on the move . The wild wind gushed toward his face, blowing his messy hair all around . The floor was vibrating non-stop and the riotous sound of the train movement rushed into his ears . The train moved smoothly along the rail toward their destination .

A galaxy of stars illuminated the dark sky .

Mountains could be seen on the distant horizon .

Have I slept for the entire day?

For a while, Han Xiao was slightly startled . He then put on his Facial Simulator and adjusted his face to that of a regular man from his memory . After which, he placed a mask over the Facial Simulator . He had always been this careful . Afterwards, he followed the trail of light and entered the carriage from the front .

The sound from the wind disappeared the moment he entered the carriage; noisy chatter filled his ears instead . He felt as if he had just transmigrated from the stone age to a modern civilization .



As soon as Han Xiao walked in, everyone stopped talking . Every pair of eyes was fixated on Han Xiao . They scanned him with curiosity .

 Di Su Su was the first person to stand up . She moved her beautiful waist and moved seductively toward Han Xiao .

"So, you are Han Xiao?" she asked curiously .

"I think you've got the wrong person," Han Xiao replied nonchalantly . Han Xiao knew that he would lose a lot of face if he answered all the questions directed at him truthfully .

Everyone's face stiffened . What a blatant lie! Everyone was here in the cabin . Who else could he be‽

Li Ya Lin was instantly delighted as she saw the scheming Di Su Su getting rejected . She waved at Han Xiao . "Xiao Ge, come here and sit . "

Han Xiao nodded and moved beside Zhang Wei and the others . Li Ya Lin whispered to Han Xiao, "Great job! You just embarrassed that scheming Di Su Su . "

"Scheming?" Han Xiao was surprised by her description .

"That's right . Di Su Su is a scheming, cunning, and sly snake!" Li Ya Lin said with a mouth full of detest .

Han Xiao squinted . "Are you describing yourself?"

Lin Yao could not agree more . However, he dared not add anything for fear being beaten up by Li Ya Lin . He secretly looked at Han Xiao with respect . That's my Xiao Ge—full of balls—a courageous man who never filters his words .

When Di Su Su saw Li Ya Lin and Han Xiao's intimate gestures, her face turned black . Traces of angered flashed in her eyes .

On the other side, Ma Qing Yang extended his hand and smiled . "Hey, brother . Nice to meet you . I'm Ma Qing Yang . "



Han Xiao shook his hand as he held back the enraged Lin Ya Lin, unflustered . "Technically, we never met . "

Ma Qing Yang was dumbfounded . He surveyed around Han Xiao's mask, not knowing whether to laugh or cry . "Oh . You are right . "

Qi Bai Jia clapped his hand . "Since everyone is here, I will now explain the details of this mission . Field personnel please take your leave . "

Field personnel knew that this was the rule, so they left this carriage without hesitation . The place immediately quieted, as only the three covert ops teams and Qi Bai Jia were left inside .

"This is a joint mission between Hesla's Intelligence Department and us . Hesla's troops are stationed at the border, and they could move out at any moment . Our job here is to infiltrate the enemy base to gather information about their defenses so that we can provide the troops with intelligence support .

"Hesla has sent us a map of the Dark Crow Valley . This place is easy to hold but hard to attack, and with deep forests, we will not be able to locate the coordinates of the base with our satellites . We have zero information about their troop number and location . We can only attack from land . "

Everyone was very serious when it came to their mission . Di Su Su scratched her forehead and frowned . "This sounds like a heavily-guarded base . Is it possible for Hesla's troops to storm the base on the ground?"

"They refused . " Qi Bai Jia shook his head .

Everyone understood the reason; as long as Hesla could take down the enemy with two thirds of their effort, they would never deploy their full strength . Furthermore, when there was too little information about enemy's power and location, Hesla would not allow its troops to go in prematurely for fear of suffering too many casualties . The Covert Ops department would be brought in to do the dirty work like such an infiltration .

Li Ya Lin grumbled, "Then where is the infiltration point?"

Qi Bai Jia pointed at a spot on the map . "On the west side of the valley, there is a large town called Crow's Forest . The fact that they have the courage to build a town near a base of the Germinal Organization suggests that the two parties are colluding . Therefore, there must be a few scouts from the valley base stationed in the town . This is our opportunity to obtain crucial intelligence .

"And according to intelligence from the higher ups, there are three noteworthy enemies from the Dark Crow Valley base . "

Qi Bai Jia gave out a folder of information sheets to everyone . As everyone was reading through the sheets, he summarized the gist of the information . "Pan Kuang—head of the base, 35 years-old, Asian, E+ Pugilist—is one of the Germinal Organization's executive officers . His weapon is a blade, nicknamed Blade-soul . His last recorded feat was three years ago, when he defeated twelve Theseus agents at the border alone . Four of them were superhumans . "

The page showed an emotionless man . He looked like any ordinary man but gave off an extremely fierce vibe .



"Ji Jie, deputy head, male, 29 years-old, mixed Asian and Caucasian, limited information . We only know that he seems to be a relative of the leader of the Wind Eye Organization, Ji Nuo .

"Dormund, captain of the security force, 43, from Raylen . He specializes in different firearms, and he is an extremely elite special agent . He used to lead a whole Night Owl squad . "

Doubt filled Ma Qing Yang's face . "I thought we did not have much information regarding the internal situation of the base? Where did all this detailed information come from?"

Everyone was wondering the same thing .

Qi Bai Jia shook his head . "Not sure . The higher ups said it was classified . "

Everybody stopped their questioning .

Han Xiao pricked up his ears slightly . The source of this intel is sitting right beside you guys .

Qi Bai Jia added more pointers for everyone to take note . Suddenly, his tone changed . "For this combined exercise, Hesla will be sending teams of agents from the intelligence department . They will move with us when we meet at the rendezvous point . "

Zhang Wei's expression became unnatural, and he questioned, "Agents from two countries working on this mission together?"

Qi Bai Jia was feeling embarrassed and coughed . "Yes . "

That was just courting trouble!

Hesla was unsatisfied with the intel from Stardragon . Also, they didn't want to expend much of their own force, so they requested that Division 13 deploy manpower for this mission .

The agents looked at one another with unease . The relationship between the two countries were rather stale . The agents even seemed hostile toward one another . It seemed like the mission would turn out to be a flop .

None of this intel was useful for Han Xiao . He yawned and looked out of the window . He squinted after he caught sight of something . He immediately interrupted the discussion and shouted, "We are under attack by beasts!"

Everyone was stunned and could not react . The train vibrated violently, causing the agent to almost fall . At the same time, there was a loud and horrible cry from the field personnel in the back carriage .
