Bhubaneshwar, the capital of Odisha in eastern India, is located on the south side of the Mehandei River Delta. It is said to have a history of about 3,000 years and is one of the most important Hindu centers.

"Bhubaneshwar" means "the residence of God" or "the king of heaven and earth" in Hindi, and is the center of the believers of Shiva, the most important Hindu god in history.

It used to have more than 7,000 temples, so it is also known as the "City of Thousand Temples" and the "Cathedral of the Orient".

Currently, more than 500 remaining temples in Bhubaneshwar are located in every corner of the city, attracting hundreds of thousands of worshippers from all over India every year.

For India, Bhubaneshwar has both the religious atmosphere of the classical era and traces of the wave of new economic reform, and has flourished with the developed tourism industry.

But today, the city of Thousand Temples is not tourists or believers, but a group of cold-blooded animals who don’t know what kind of pity is. They have lizard-like eyes, and dark brown pupils stand up in the bright yellow eyes.

Protected by layers of armor in the core cockpit, there is a group of humanoid intelligent creatures with limbs. One of them is the shepherd star Chris Bill, who was captured by Wu Funing and others with the "Karma Fire" that day, and the higher intelligent life form evolved from reptiles.

They are not natives of the earth, but from the distant shepherd galaxy. However, even among aliens, it is rare to appear as blatantly in human settlements as they do.

For some reason, these killing gods appeared openly in the coastal city of Bhubaneshwar in India. And judging from their purpose, they should be looking for something, or... someone.

...

On the other side, the sturgeon sailing at full speed also passed through the Kra Canal just dug by Xinghua News Agency and arrived in the Indian Ocean, which is located just under the sea 80 nautical miles east of Bhubaneshwar.

"Where is Li Dongyao?" Wei Changfeng was asking loudly. He was busy summoning the team members now.

"He will be here soon." Lu Lirou replied from the side that she has joined the mecha team now, and her long-term driving training finally came in handy today.

As soon as she finished speaking, a man wearing a long top and holding a towel ran in. It was Li Dongyao mentioned by Wei Changfeng.

"I'm so sorry, I'm late..." Li Dongyao said gasping.

"Okay, now all the staff are here. Then let me start explaining the mission arrangement." Wei Changfeng said to everyone, for some reason, and he seemed to have only held a meeting with the four soldiers here.

If you look closely, you will find that his expression is very solemn, as if he is facing a great enemy.

"I think you all know now that an unidentified attack mecha appeared in the eastern Indian city of Bhubaneshwar. I have reason to believe that this attack mecha will carry out a large-scale sabotage operation alone and may now be hiding somewhere in the city."

"The Indian garrisons in the local area have been seriously damaged. According to analysis, the entire India and Bangladesh are currently in a state of emergency."

Needless to say, if the problem cannot be solved quickly, it may eventually turn into a full-scale war...) Maybe the India-Pakistan contract that was finally concluded will be destroyed by the incident in Bhubaneshwar.

It is too close to Bangladesh. The key is that Aoi Shui Society is worried that India will use this as an excuse to start the Indian-Pakistan war again.

"This attack mecha, the other party really only dispatched one body?" Li Dongyao asked while wiping his wet head with a towel.

"According to information from the intelligence department, we can confirm that there is only one enemy plane at present. But perhaps the other party is very alert, and we cannot be completely sure that there is only one enemy."

"So what model is it?" Lu Lirou asked, and Wei Changfeng changed the screen.

At this time, Lu Lirou thought that innovation would deal with the eliminated rk67 at a high price to Islamic militants in East Pakistan. After all, these people like to go against the Indian government. This is not impossible.

However, this time, Lu Lirou guessed wrongly. Their enemy was not an old first-generation body, but a high-performance mecha made by alien technology.

What appears on the screen is a related picture.

It may be a photo taken by a folk person. The picture was handled very amateurly, but when Wu Funing saw the content in the photo, he couldn't help but exclaim, and Huang Guanghong took a breath of air conditioning without thinking.

"So, that's why we were called?"

The body in the photo is obviously the same model as the original "Karma Fire". Whether from the appearance or the structure of the key parts, it comes from the same design style.

In the photo, it has an extremely large upper body and many twisted linear disguises on the edges, which are completely different from the clean and neat design style of the dragon teeth.

The incident occurred at the lead printing factory in the Jindenboul commercial district. With its advanced external optical camouflage system, it can make its influence vaguely hidden in the white smoke.

The body twisted the notice board roughly with its left hand, and also carried a supportless attack rifle to fire in the direction of the screen. The photo was obviously very close, as if it was taken from the other party's feet, and it seemed that the photographer must have been scared later.

"What exactly is this guy's goal?"

"I don't know yet, and no organization or individual statement is responsible for this. If we join us and take the liberty to guess, it may be to cause the India-Pakistan war again or damage the economy of South Asia. Or both are possible..."

"I'm afraid it's not only that?" Huang Guanghong made a mistake and reminded in a cold tone.

"Does... they want to challenge us?" Lu Lirou thoughtfully and immediately guessed in this direction.

“…”

Although everyone is unwilling to think about this place, they think it is a very possible thing. From the events so far, it is very obvious that those enemies using these high-tech weapons know the existence of the Aoi Shui Society and the Ghost Sturgeon fleet very well.

"This photo. It is obviously taken from the Otura neighborhood, which is located on the side of the city. After the enemy's raided mechas destroyed an armored combat vehicle of the Indian garrison, they successfully escaped with smoke bombs. This happened 20 hours ago and there was not much time left for us."

After Wei Changfeng finished speaking, he continued to open the map of the eastern coastal area of ​​India.

"In the following time, the 'Karma Fire' type mecha appeared in many places in Bhubaneshwar every 10 hours, and carried out large-scale destruction without choice, whether it is a house or a shop, it destroys everything in the field of vision of the person."

"According to our estimates, there are currently 10 heavy tanks and a large number of ground personnel casualties. The Indian army has no way to destroy this body, and there is no ability to collect its intelligence and where it goes. So from past examples, it may be because this machine is equipped with some kind of stealth function."

"Just like the karma we encountered on the island, the other party also has optical camouflage devices. Therefore, the talent equipment of the Indian army cannot find it..."

"The Indians do not have the latest details about optical camouflage equipment, and they may not have expected that the enemy will be invisible."

"Do you want to issue a warning to India?" Lu Lirou asked.

"No, the upper class doesn't want to do this at all." Wei Changfeng directly denied the proposal. Given the diplomatic relations between China and India and the political tendencies of India, he is now eager to make the other party look more ugly.

"Why?" Lu Lirou didn't know much about politics. In her eyes, her current enemy was the lizard that looked like a human, not an Indian.

"If you agree to give them temporary advice or provide some technical support, you can see the enemy's attack mecha clearly, and you will not be able to defeat the 'Karma Fire' type with your own equipment. This will only cause greater casualties. Our job is to clear out all potential risk factors."

Wei Changfeng's current view is very correct, but it is a bit cold, but this is also helpless.

If we tell the Indian government, what position should the Kyushui Society take? What's more, in the face of high-tech weapons such as "Kinghuo", the first thing the government of any country thinks about is "capture" rather than "destroy".

Even if the casualties among the people are large, they will be pushed to Pakistan at most, and the excuses are ready-made anyway.

Wu Funing's instinct is telling him that if they inform the Indian military about the latest optical camouflage technology, it will only expose the weaknesses of the Kyushui Society, because they themselves use the same concealment device.

Many secret operations of the Aoi Shui Club, even the Underground Palace and the entire Ancient Chinese Society also need to rely on the latest electromagnetic optical camouflage system.

"What other issues should be paid attention to..."

"Although this body is the same type as the previous 'Karma Fire', we cannot operate all-weather. We need ammunition support and simple post-war adjustments. We need more logistical assistance from the organization."

"Even the drivers, we will be tired and need to rest. First, we will calculate the location of the ambush, secretly set up a standard platoon of dragon teeth around, assault steps, and try a surprise attack. Before there is no other countermeasure, because we have no obligation to fight them head-on. So for this reason, I hope all of you will take the form of recognition again."

“What does it mean to cooperate again?”

"Contact with the Indian branch of the Underground Palace, use all the power you can use, and determine the enemy's hiding place. At some point in tonight, the sturgeon will float in the outer sea area, and you will take a helicopter to the city. This means that you will first arrive at Bhubaneshwar."

"Does Wu Funing want to go too?" Lu Lirou asked. In the current situation, she might want Wu Funing to stay on the boat and standby with "Dragon Ya. Zhenwu" as usual, as a reserve team.

Wei Changfeng seemed to want to answer Lu Lirou's question at this time, but before that, Chen Tao spoke first, "Yes, he wants to go too."

This is the final word and there is no change.

"The policy of this combat operation is to not use the power of 'Dragon Teeth. Zhenwu'. This is the situation." Speaking of this, Chen Tao turned his face to look at Wu Funing's position: "Do you understand, Sergeant Wu Funing?"

"As for the order." After hearing this, Wu Funing replied depressedly, of course he was in a bad mood now.

India, eastern coast, Bhubaneshwar.

It has been ten minutes since Wu Funing and the others came to the reception room, but the owner of this room, an Indian resident at the Kuishui Club headquarters, has not arrived yet.

The ceiling in the room is designed very high. There are two large windows, so that there is plenty of natural light to the room, saving electricity bills.

This house is built on a 20-story building that rises from the ground on a cliff near the harbor. You can even clearly see the magnificent waves of the sea.

On this steep cliff, there are several other large buildings, including the tallest apartment building, which can directly see the entire Bhubaneshwar.

In India, the poor and the rich live in two different worlds. The poor live in extremely difficult and backward lives, but the rich have amazing luxury, even the houses they live in.

The big ones are small, the new ones are old, and all the buildings are crowded in the "rich area". The rich and poor people live in the places where they live are also cut by an invisible dividing line.

Wu Funing had heard of this kind of scene before, but the density of this building is really amazing.

Not far from the cliff there is a small town, which looks quite chaotic and noisy, and at this moment, it can only be described as such a strange scene.

"When you see these things, you will find that the whole world has not changed much." Lu Lirou, who was standing beside Wu Funing, murmured at this time.

In modern times, sociologists have always talked about the changes in human civilization, but in fact, nothing has changed.

"Did you say that you have been here before?" Wu Funing asked.

"I've been here several times before the reconstruction. My mom's relatives used to live not far from here. But since moving to Australia, I've never come back here. I've lived here for two months before joining the Kwai Shui Club. Forget it, I won't mention that."

At this time, Wu Funing realized that Lu Lirou was a Chinese blood boy. No wonder she always felt that she looked strangely beautiful, and it turned out to be the charm of an Indian woman.

"Why don't you mention it?" Wu Funing had never heard Lu Lirou talk about her past before, so he was a little surprised at this time.

"Your mother is Indian, and where is your father working in the Chinese Federal Army?"

"You said, old man, he was a bomber pilot during World War II. But now he is retired and working for an airline. He acts as if he is important at home, but he forgets that he is just a stingy coward. He is still arbitrary and tyrannical."

"Original..." Wu Funing was an orphan, but it was unimaginable that a girl would describe her father like this.

"That's right, after I graduated from high school, I wanted to find a serious job, but he followed me and forced me to marry a boy who graduated from Nanhua University. I was so upset that I ran out on the wedding day. By chance, I took the recruitment exam of Kuishui Club."

Lu Lirou's father was born in the Chinese Federal Air Force, and after the war, the whole world was very eager for such talents. Especially India, which lives in South Asia, was willing to invest heavily in hiring senior technical talents from China.

The country's diplomatic conflict did not affect these little people at all. Lu Lirou's life after coming to India was much better than she thought.

In this era, because of the strong military power of the Chinese Federal Army, no matter the hostile countries or organizations, they dared not do anything to the Chinese residents. They were even afraid of causing diplomatic conflicts, but instead took care of them.

All of this was a long time ago for Lu Lirou. Now she is obviously excited by the decision she made. At this time, she lowered her head and showed a naughty smile on the corner of her mouth.

With a young and pretty face, she could not tell that she was nearly forty years old. Perhaps, fate made her lose a marriage between an ordinary person, so she compensated her for her immortal face.

"I still remember that I was alone and ran to a job fair a few blocks away. I was still wearing a wedding dress. It was a young man on duty. At that time, I remember his eyes wide open."

Li Dongyao, who was standing aside and listening to the entire story, finally couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Haha, hey, what do you think of such a girl?"

"Hehe, she is so cool." Li Dongyao said so. Because of laughter, Li Dongyao's shoulders kept shaking, and while giving a thumbs up, tears of laughter flowed out, and the atmosphere became very strange.

Before telling jokes and killing time, the whole room was filled with the tension before the battle.

And at the same moment when Lee Dongyao tried to stop laughing, the room became as quiet as before, again.

I saw the light shining in from the window, and then the clear shadows of Lu Li and Li Dongyao were formed on the ground. However, in addition to being gentle, this scene was also filled with a strange melancholy atmosphere.

At this time, Lu Lirou was looking at the far-reaching sky sadly.

"It's cool...? Maybe it's right, the best time is always preserved in my young memories. I just made such a decision at that time and could feel that the world expanded infinitely behind me. Perhaps this is the life I chose, no matter what, I choose. No matter where I go, it's up to me." To be continued.
