I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future.

Chapter 59 - Field Training Begin (1)

At four o'clock in the morning, the alarm for the emergency assembly in the Ein Mecha Division's base suddenly sounded.

The officers and soldiers immediately bounced out of bed, washed up as quickly as possible, and lined up in the big square. After counting the number of people, distributing dry food, wearing the exosuit, and boarding the cabin, at 4:30, the whole army would set off for the city of Trudheim.

For this long-distance field training, they would leave the city-state of Trudheim and then head southwest into the vast jungle.

Jeanne and the team of instructors she brought over from the Baldwin Academy would also accompany the trip, following the team they were responsible for, to supervise how the officers and soldiers used the new system to cooperate in combat in the real environment and at the same time record various data, analysing the pros and cons for future improvements. 

As the instructor of the Third Squadron, Jeanne naturally acted together with the Third Squadron throughout the whole process.

As they marched, the third squadron advanced in a boomerang formation. The mecha piloted by Jeanne was at the corner of the boomerang and was protected by five or six mecha around her. Keiko's mecha was on the left-wing, far away from her.

With a sigh of relief, she could now finally get rid of the eldest lady. Although she also knew that she was still being watched by Jeanne all the time, it was still good because she didn't have to face her directly. She couldn't put her finger on why, but every time she faced the eldest lady, she immediately panicked. This woman was too scary. 

As the third squadron dived deeper into the jungle, Keiko finally sensed something was off. The jungle was quiet, extremely quiet. The squadron didn't even encounter a single Zerg or predator along the way. Although it was a good thing that they didn't meet by accident, Keiko always had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Such a phenomenon was very abnormal to Keiko, but again, even until today, humanity couldn't comprehend Zerg's behavior completely, so it wasn't ruled out that what happened today was actually a very ordinary phenomenon. Many of the behavior patterns of these monsters were still not understood by humans.

For example, mass suicide attacks were carried out by the swarm of Zerg every year, aimed at the outer fortresses of the seven main city-states. These monsters bashed themselves into the city walls without any apparent reason, killing themselves in the process. This phenomenon had been baffling many of the federation's researchers for decades.

There was also the mysterious relationship between predators and Zerg. Sometimes they lived in harmony, sometimes they killed and devoured each other, and nobody knew how they exchanged information with each other.

Anyway, Keiko didn't have sufficient information about their current situation, so she stopped pondering deeply about it and just increased her vigilance.

In the evening of the eighth day of field training, the team rested and built a camp beside a clear river.

Keiko and Seol-Hyun Ae shared a tent, and Miss Jeanne's single-person tent was not far from them. There were four guards that could be seen guarding the tent throughout the night. This treatment was much better than that of Captain Amanda, the leader of the third squadron. 

Speaking of which, Jeanne had been quiet these days and had not come to trouble Keiko. Keiko felt that the eldest lady might already have obtained all the information on her and had lost interest in herself.

Keiko knew her shortcomings well. When it came to resourcefulness, she was far inferior to a brainy woman like Jeanne. She had already made a lot of flaws in front of her, and it was not unreasonable that Jeanne had exposed her. She had already prepared for the worst.

Anyway, she was not from this world. Even if she was found to be a transmigrator and was sent to be a test subject, she just considered it a contribution to scientific breakthrough. Wouldn't it be wonderful if, after that, she could be able to transmigrate back to her time? 

But this kind of innocent idea was just to comfort herself. If something really happens, she won't wait for death without doing something. It was difficult to live, yet dying so early wasn't good either. 

Keiko was sitting beside the stove, watching the water in the pot being boiled little by little, thinking about something in a daze.

When Seol-Hyun Ae saw that Keiko didn't react at all, she patted her and said, "Why are you daydreaming? The water is boiling. Quickly turn off the stove. " 

"Oh, oh." Keiko came back to her senses and quickly opened the instant noodles and put them into the cup. Then she added the seasoning packet, some freshly picked wild vegetables, two canned portions of meat, and cooked two large bowls of noodles, enjoying them warmly.

This instant noodle was a bit similar to the instant noodles of Keiko's time, but the dough was made from the dry noodles made by the cooking team, which were stronger and more filling.

The Third Squadron was out for a total of ten days, and each lieutenant was handed out twenty packets of instant noodles. This kind of food is already delicious.

The soldiers couldn't even enjoy such a simple delicacy. They could only eat the hodgepodge cooked in the cauldron of the cooking class. There is everything in it, and sometimes they don't know what they are eating. 

After dinner, she washed the pots and pans in the clear stream, dried them, folded them, and put them away. Keiko and Seol-Hyun Ae put on their helmets, walked out of the tent, and walked along the stream. 

It is already September 16. Summer has passed, and autumn has entered.

The climate in the rain forest was humid and wet, and there was not much of a refreshing autumn feeling.

There were bursts of sounds from the forest, which sounded very crisp and pleasant, and some unknown animal was calling. Keiko couldn't hear the cicadas and frogs chirping. It stood to reason that this was the time when the autumn cicadas and frogs chirp. Perhaps this was one more thing that this era lacked. 

Speaking of walking, Keiko was actually not comfortable at all.

She was equipped with an exosuit, a helmet on her head, a weapon on her back, and she was fully armed.

When night fell, the surroundings were dark and numb, and she couldn't see anything clearly. If it weren't for her strong night vision, she would have to turn on the night vision function to walk without hindrance.

It was forbidden to use light in the jungle, and the tents where they camped were not allowed to light up.

After the big mutation, many animals are very sensitive to light. It is taboo to make a fire, especially at night, so when the soldiers were cooking, all of them used a source of crystal energy stove, which produced no fire. 

Keiko stood by the stream, thinking about whether there was danger lurking in the stream. As she was just thinking about it, footsteps suddenly sounded behind her.

She turned around quickly and found a female officer who was also fully armed, walking towards her. At a glance, the epaulet was the rank of major, and at a glance, she knew it was Jeanne. 

Why is this woman here again? Keiko began to murmur in her heart.
