Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Ralph Bellam is a top-tier American mobile suit soldier, possessing the latex suit from Gantz and the XS1 heavy support vehicle from Call of Duty.

He led a 15-man squad, consisting of 12 mobile soldiers and 3 regular soldiers. Their mission was to kidnap the target; if they failed, they would eliminate the target.

“We are currently in Muchang Village. Intelligence indicates that the target entered the ravine west of the village and has not come out since. It is basically impossible to win him over.”

Bellam points to Zhang Xun's photo.

"Our mission this time is to kidnap the target. The other side has three recruits and one ordinary soldier. If the Chinese side discovers this, we will have to destroy the target. Once the battle begins, we will not be able to return to space."

"If we fail, we need to leave three ordinary soldiers as hostages to stall for time. Once the battle is over, we will immediately return to the space. Any questions?"

"Captain, is the enemy a captain? Is his warship in outer space or here?"

"Intelligence indicates that the other party returned in a spaceship within 20 meters, and it is impossible to know whether it has combat capabilities."

"Besides the three targets, does the enemy have any other fire support?"

"There may be humanoid combat robots. They seem to have built a base in the mountains with firing positions inside."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Alright, timekeeping: advance towards the target in the ravine at 1 a.m., and launch the attack promptly at 3 a.m."

That night, Ralph's team surrounded the base. Their actions had already been detected by Zhang Xun and others at the base's monitoring center.

"Marcus, can you wipe out these people?"

"If they are all the same as before, it's not a big problem."

"Let's put them in first and see how they perform. If they're not strong, kill them all."

Ralph and his team were unaware that their actions had been exposed. Seeing the enemy's standard CQB formation after they entered the building, they strongly suspected that the enemy had been special forces soldiers before being recruited.

"After the enemy enters the underground, we will close off their escape route. The enemy may have been a special forces soldier."

After Ralph's team searched all the floors above ground, they left two people behind and the rest of the team went underground.

Entering the base's first floor through the sky ladder, they saw a spacious hall that, although not yet further renovated, already possessed a distinct classical Chinese style. One of the team members monitored the situation and spoke to Ralph.

"The ground and walls are all made of warship armor. I suspect it's on all four sides. It seems that the other party is either very rich or has mastered the technology to manufacture large quantities of robots."

"Prepare EMP bombs, everyone beware of enemy machine units."

As they crept along one side to the next elevator shaft, the two remaining on top discovered that the underground entrance was beginning to close.

"Captain, they've spotted us, and the entrance is closed!"

"Everyone, return immediately..."

Just as Ralph was about to order a return to space, fixed, hidden firing positions appeared around them, pulling them into combat. The two people left outside were shot in the head before they could even react.

"King, Brown?"

"Open the elevator shaft immediately and descend to the next floor!"

Upon seeing the surveillance footage of high-energy explosives being planted on the elevator door, they immediately opened the elevator door, catching Ralph and the others off guard.

"Go down and check if it's safe!"

The soldier whose name was called immediately used his exoskeleton to quickly descend to the second floor.

"The second floor is still under construction and there's no sign of anyone!"

Just as they were about to return, they spotted a robot jumping down from the top through their night vision goggles.

"Enemy activity detected! There are a large number of robots here. This is a trap!"

The battlefield monitoring system on the soldiers below showed that the second floor was unfinished and unlikely to be occupied. Ralph ordered his team to search the first floor in an attempt to take the enemy hostage.

Zhang Xun, in the monitoring center, watched the gradually destroyed firing points. Because large power cores had not yet been installed, high-energy-consuming equipment such as shields were powered by temporary battery packs.

Those high-energy weapon turrets are powered by their own batteries, and they run out of power after firing only a few shots.

"Captain, there are many makeshift defensive positions in the enemy's space. Many of our weapons are not working due to energy issues. Should we activate Plan B?"

"Release a simulated command signal, dispatch combat robots, and lure the enemy into the trap room."

A hidden door opened on one side of the hall, and a number of combat robots emerged from it.

"Captain, command signals detected. The enemy has deployed robot guards!"

"Locate the other party's position based on the signal!"

"In a room in the left-hand passageway of the lobby!"

"Use EMP attack robots to quickly proceed to the designated room!"

As four EMP grenades attacked the robot, it immediately convulsed and collapsed. Except for two that struggled briefly to add to the drama, the other robots performed perfectly.

"Find those two robots that were overacting, go back and recharge their circuit boards! Damn, this batch of robots is so hard to manage, when will my T800 be ready?!"

Natal shrugged at the other two.

"Don't look at me like that. Who knew that after the combat robots are upgraded and gain their own consciousness, there would be more goofballs among them!"

On their way to the trap room, Ralph lost four more men, and of the 13 who came down, seven had already fallen. The second wave of robots was also in pursuit, and the intense firepower around them gave them no time to rest. Upon seeing the combat personnel in front of the target room, they immediately used a particle breacher to smash through the door and rushed in.

Something's not right here!

Ralph, who was covering the rear, noticed that there was no fierce resistance in the target room and realized it was a trap, so he shouted for his teammates.

But the explosion happened before anyone inside could come out, and even Ralph at the door was hit so hard that his vision was blurred.

Zhang Xun walked triumphantly to the middle of the robots and shouted at Ralph, who was trying to set up a temporary defensive position.

"You are surrounded! Lay down your weapons, all I want is ransom! You can still go back to your families!"

Ralph, leaning against the wall, gave a mocking laugh.

"My family is inside! You fucking killed them! My wife and my brothers!"

Zhang Xun scratched his head awkwardly. Who would have thought that he would bring his family to the enemy's territory!

Think of your children!

"You bastard, I don't even have kids yet!"

He punched the wall in frustration: "Damn it, you have nothing, yet you brought your wife here looking for thrills!"

"That's because my wife and family were coerced! You bastard! You single dog!"

"Marcus insulted me, kill him!"

"But Zhang Xun..."

Seeing that Marcus didn't want to carry out the order, he took out a C-25 grenade and threw it at him.

With the explosion around the corner, Marcus knew the other side was finished.

"Zhang Xun, you don't want G anymore?"

Zhang Xun, who was clapping, froze. It seemed like my ransom was gone!

"What are you lumps of iron for! Go check if there are any survivors!"

The robot checked and found no survivors. Zhang Xun was furious; he'd made a bad deal!

Just as I was about to clean up the battlefield base, an alarm went off. Through my personal device, I saw that another group of people had arrived outside. This time, there were five general-purpose machines: GM 3 and Jegan.

"Didn't the Administration say it was no more than 20 people? Are they counting it as a batch of 20 or less? Activate the outer perimeter weapons and fire them back."

As they spoke, all the hidden warship turrets around the base were deployed and began exchanging fire with the enemy.
