Dawn of the Super Seminary

Chapter 411 The Unpredictable Perhaps

Mu Xingchen didn't speak immediately; he looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.

He looked at it for a few seconds before lowering his face and then said in a deep voice.

"Major General James, do you have any shockwave grenades?"

"We didn't bring shockwave shells, but we did bring some dry ice shells as a contingency plan."

James didn't understand Mu Xingchen's meaning for a moment, so he could only answer truthfully.

"That's fine. Give the order to use dry ice shells to disperse the dark clouds. We can't let this rain fall; I'm afraid Mo might use the downpour to force a breakout."

Mu Xingchen found it very strange that a reinforced brigade had been sent to its death for nothing.

Just to be on the safe side, he still didn't dare to gamble on Mo Fei's courage.

He had to abandon the idea that Mo Fei might try to break out under the cover of darkness and in the pouring rain.

"The clouds are very thick. If we use dry ice bombs to repel the rain, it will act as a catalyst, and at least a heavy downpour lasting one to two hours will occur."

James thought Mu Xingchen didn't understand the principle behind dry ice cannons repelling rain, so he reminded him.

"I know, the fact that everyone is setting up rain shelters and taking precautions against moisture means we're not going back to camp today. Could it be that something big is about to happen?"

Mu Xingchen also knew that the dry ice bombs would cause the rain to fall earlier.

It's better to have a short downpour than to have heavy rain for several days in a row.

Let alone a few days, a sudden downpour overnight could cause major changes.

He dared not gamble on how bold Mo Fei was.

Since fate is not on his side, he must take precautions.

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

After saying that, James left.

Mu Xingchen also didn't linger and went back to his temporary command post to find Ryan.

He needed to get Ryan to find out how things were going with General Connor, whether there was any enemy harassment or anything like that.

Around five o'clock, the US military position fired twenty dry ice shells into the dark clouds in the sky.

The dark clouds, already accumulating a great deal of moisture and preparing for a heavy rain, were instantly punctured by the dry ice, causing water droplets to fall.

If you look closely, the raindrops are as big as quail eggs.

And it poured out very quickly, as if it were all dumped out at once.

The huge raindrops hit the ground, and soon puddles formed.

Fortunately, the US troops have already set up makeshift tents, so there's no need to worry about the soldiers catching a cold from the torrential rain.

In a large tent located towards the back of the position, Mu Xingchen, James, and Ryan were each sitting in a chair with long faces.

Yes, they have already contacted General Connor and learned from him that Mo Fei has also sent troops to attack "their" camp.

In particular, they sent quite a few troops, which didn't seem like they were there to cause trouble at all.

General Connor suffered heavy losses. Although he successfully repelled the enemy, the price he paid was too high.

They lost almost a third of their mechanized weapons and suffered heavy casualties. It can be said that they suffered really heavy losses in this enemy attack.

Upon receiving this news, Mu Xingchen was completely stunned.

His previous assumptions were seriously flawed, or rather, completely wrong.

Because that Monkey D. Murphy didn't play by the rules; he just wasted their ammunition by using his army.

This caused Mu Xingchen a great deal of distress.

"What exactly is this guy trying to do? He's attacking us on one side and General Connor on the other. Isn't he just throwing his army away by splitting his forces into two groups?"

Major General James stared at the flat map on the table with a worried expression.

They were clearly confused by Mo Fei's actions.

They can't just hand over those guys, who have several times more men, to be killed, can they?

A qualified military strategist would never casually use the lives of his subordinates to deplete their ammunition.

That guy definitely has some ulterior motive.

"Exactly, what is he thinking? This doesn't seem like a feint."

Ryan deliberately brought up the phrase "feinting to the east while attacking the west."

It was clearly a reminder to Mu Xingchen, the commander-in-chief, that his judgment was flawed.

"..."

Mu Xingchen naturally knew what Ryan meant, but at this moment he was in no mood to blame anyone.

We can only seriously consider what Mo Fei's purpose might be.

"By the way, Commander Mu, any news from your wife? How's it going up the mountain?"

Ryan suddenly remembered that Mu Xingchen had mentioned dividing the troops into three groups and preventing Mo Fei from escaping to the Appalachian Mountains.

I asked about the two female soldiers from the Super Soldier Company and the two hundred Huaxia soldiers that "he" had sent.

"I just contacted them. They arrived at the location this morning, but they didn't find any signs of retreat on the mountain, not even any scouts checking the mountain paths. Could it be that they weren't planning to escape from the mountain?"

When Brigadier General Ryan asked the question, Mu Xingchen naturally had no choice but to answer.

"That's strange. What exactly is he planning to do? He's neither joining forces with us to fight to the death, nor is he going all out to attack General Connor, and he doesn't even intend to escape up the mountain. How exactly does he plan to break out?"

Major General James stroked his stubble, his face showing deep concern.

"I don't know, but his split-force attack on us and General Connor definitely has its purpose."

At this moment, Mu Xingchen could only admit that he couldn't figure out what Mo Fei was thinking.

Because that mutated demon leader doesn't play by the rules at all!

Compared to Laurent and Hasch under his command, this Monkey D is simply an unfathomable shrewdness!

"That's for sure."

Major General James nodded.

"Forget about that for now. Tell everyone to be on high alert and be wary of the possible gang taking advantage of the heavy rain and darkness to launch a sneak attack."

Mu Xingchen didn't want to think about it anymore and decided to take it one step at a time.

Anyway, that Mo Fei poses no threat to him, the true third-generation super soldier.

"Alright, I'll go tell everyone to replenish their energy as soon as possible; there might be a tough battle tonight."

Ryan agreed with Mu Xingchen's words and got up from his chair to go outside the tent.

But he wore a military raincoat and rubber boots before going out, because the rain outside was really heavy.

"Commander Mu, shall we go and get some supplies too?"

James knew that it was impossible to cook in the current weather.

Moreover, they were in such a hurry to meet the enemy that they didn't bring any cooks with them.

I'll have to make do with some portable dry food for now.

"Um"

Mu Xingchen nodded, agreeing to Major General James's suggestion.

Afterwards, the two of them put on military raincoats and rubber boots and went outside.

Firstly, he went to get some rations, and secondly, he wanted to see if there was anything unusual on the battlefield.

……

Meanwhile, in an abandoned mine in the Appalachian Mountains.

Qi Lin, Leng, An Kang Kang, and a group of other Chinese soldiers were taking shelter from the rain in the cave.

This is an abandoned coal mine shaft, which is very deep and goes all the way down.

However, Qi Lin and the other Chinese soldiers did not go deep into the mine; they simply stayed near the entrance.

Since it was already 5:30 pm and the sky was getting dark, people lit a bonfire inside the cave.

After all, it was pouring rain outside and the air was humid, so we definitely needed to light a fire to keep warm and get rid of the dampness.

Fortunately, there were many abandoned and rotten wooden frames in the mine, otherwise they would not have been able to find dry firewood to start a fire in this heavy rain.

"This rain is too heavy. Thank goodness no landmines were planted, otherwise it would have been a complete waste."

Seeing that the mounds of earth piled up at the entrance of the mine were half-submerged by the "streams" formed by the rain, An Kang Kang was somewhat relieved that they hadn't rushed to set up traps.

"You're absolutely right! With rain this heavy, even landmines would be washed away!"

A soldier who was warming himself by the fire and spoke with a slight Henan accent chimed in.

His rank on his collar was second lieutenant, so he must have a good relationship with An Kang Kang.

"Actually, a rain shower is quite good. At least the traces we left behind will be washed away, and we won't have to worry about the enemy noticing anything."

An Kang Kang turned and walked towards a bonfire, no longer looking at the "stream" outside washing away the broken branches and withered leaves.

"You're wrong. This rain did wash away our footprints from when we came, but once the rain stops, when we go back to scout and set up traps, we'll definitely leave obvious traces. This rain will greatly affect our operation."

The lieutenant from Henan couldn't help but sigh, probably complaining in his heart about how God had wronged them.

"The weather's not cooperating, what can we do? Hey? Old Zheng, where did you get those rainbow candies?"

As soon as An Kang Kang sat down by the fire, he saw that Zheng Guang had a small yellow plastic bag in his hand.

This was something very new and interesting to him.

"Do you want some? How many?"

As he spoke, the Henan lieutenant named Zheng Guang handed over what he was holding.

"Never mind, I don't like that stuff."

An Kang Kang didn't take the bag of rainbow candies and waved his hand in refusal.

"You don't like sweets, but you always love this, right?"

After saying that, Zheng Guang took out a pack of cigarettes, which was no bigger than a matchbox, from his shirt pocket.

"Wow, your pocket's like a little warehouse! How come you have all sorts of things here? Quick, quick, give me one!"

Seeing that the guy even had cigarettes, An Kang Kang decisively handed over his hand to ask for some.

"What? I took a few bags of top-grade US military rations with me when I left. They have everything in them, including steak. Want a piece? It's just a bit tough."

Zheng Guang tossed the mini cigarette pack to An Kang Kang, then opened the backpack next to him and began rummaging through it.

"Seriously? Steak too? Is there really such a big difference in the US military rations? Why do they send us mashed potatoes and cheese tortillas? Damn it!"

Upon learning that the US military's top-grade rations were so good, An Kang Kang was speechless.

Because those Americans gave them regular military rations!

This is blatant discrimination!

However, while complaining, he still opened the box of mini cigarettes, took one out, and put it in his mouth.

Then he pulled a burning stick from the fire and lit the thin cigarette in his mouth.

"What do you think? This top-grade military ration is what the commanders of the People's Army eat, it's definitely better than ours. Here, have a piece to try."

As he spoke, Zheng Guang handed a military green hard plastic bag to An Kang Kang, who was smoking.

"You keep it for yourself, I have cigarettes."

An Kang Kang didn't take the steak Zheng Guang offered; instead, he just kept smoking.

The familiar smell relaxed his tense nerves.

"Hey, eat it or don't, it's up to you."

Seeing that the other person didn't want it, Zheng Guang laughed and cursed, then put the bag of steak into his backpack.

He went back to eating his rainbow candies.

Further inside the mine, Qi Lin and Leng Ye were warming themselves around a fire.

Seeing that everyone was eating dry rations, Qilin also used a micro-wormhole to bring over two bags of American military rations.

"It's cold, you should eat something to replenish your energy."

After saying that, Qi Lin handed a bag of military rations to Leng, who was standing next to her.

"Um"

Leng did not refuse Qilin's kindness and reached out to take the bag of rice-type military rations.

This wasn't the first time she'd eaten this stuff; after receiving the military rations, she unpacked it and took out the rainbow candies inside.

After tearing open the plastic bag, I popped a few small yellow candies with the letter M on them into my mouth.

Qi Lin poured the lemon-flavored instant drink from her military rations into her military water bottle and shook it.

After the beverage had fully dissolved, Qilin unscrewed the cap and took a sip.

Savoring the sweet and sour taste in her mouth, Qilin let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he opened a package of special hard steaks and started eating them.

Leng didn't eat anything else, she just ate that bag of rainbow candies.

Listening to the crackling sound of the firewood burning, she couldn't help but ask.

"Qilin, don't you think this rain is a bit strange? It shouldn't be raining this heavily in this weather."

Leng has been in the US for over a month now and has gotten a basic understanding of the climate here.

Therefore, she felt that there was something strange about this torrential rain.

"I don't know, but I guess someone used something like rain-inducing bombs."

Qi Lin chewed on the slightly spicy steak while responding to the cold.

"Rain-inducing bombs? Could they be used by the enemy? Trying to disrupt our deployment on the mountain?"

This was the first time Leng had ever heard that the Earth Army had something that could control the weather, which made her quite curious.

"That shouldn't be the case. I've installed radar systems along the only route up the mountain, and everything has been calm today. The enemy shouldn't have detected us."

As she spoke, Qi Lin chewed and swallowed the piece of beef that was as hard as wood.

Although the enemy's demon formations have the ability to be undetectable by ordinary radar.

But the radar she used was not an ordinary electromagnetic radar. As long as the enemy got close, even a demon would find it difficult to escape the detection of her "heavenly eye".

"Oh"

Leng nodded and poured out a few more rainbow candies, putting them into her mouth.

"I've carefully observed the celestial phenomena over the past two days. Normally, this rain should have started in the latter half of tonight, and the rainfall wouldn't have been heavy, just prolonged."

"The sudden downpour of this magnitude must mean that Xiao Chen and his team launched a rain-inducing projectile. There must be some special situation on their end, otherwise they wouldn't have forced rain."

Qi Lin had contacted her husband not long ago.

But he only asked them if anything was wrong on their end, without saying what had happened on his end.

"Why don't we send him a message and ask him?"

Leng also had Mu Xingchen's private channel, but she was too embarrassed to contact him directly without going through Qi Lin.

Qi Lin is the legal wife, and she doesn't want to overstep her bounds and cause trouble.

"Let's not. He's busy, and even if war breaks out, he can handle it. Knowing too much will only increase our worries. We'd rather focus on our own things."

Qi Lin shook her head, disagreeing with Leng's suggestion.

"Alright then, I'll go out and check it out after the rain stops. This rain was so heavy, I hope it doesn't cause any landslides or mudslides."

Seeing that Qilin refused, Leng couldn't force her to do anything and could only go along with her wishes.

"Okay, remember to fly, and don't leave any footprints."

Qilin gave a reminder, then took another bite of her steak.

"Row"

Leng also knew that this was a special moment, and her identity as an angel had to be exposed.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to coordinate with everyone's actions.
