“It’s not that I want you to ambush outside, but to ambush inside your own base. We need to ‘welcome’ the ‘guests’ who are about to arrive.”

“The commander means that TW will attack the base?” 24 asked in confusion.

“That’s right, probably within the next couple of days. The four of you will each take up an ambush position in one of the four directions: east, south, west, and north. If any side comes under attack, the others must rush to reinforce immediately.” David Clark said calmly.

“The possibility should be low. The total TW forces in the surrounding area don’t exceed 30,000, which is not enough to launch a strong assault on a well-defended base. You have to know, there are already 35,000 army troops here, and if too many gather, we can even bomb them from the air.” 36 analyzed carefully.

“Let me ask, how many people did you have when you wiped out TW’s camp?” David Clark asked back with a smile.

“M country will attack with those four mechs!” 13 had returned to his usual cold demeanor.

“We can no longer judge the enemy’s actions by common sense. When I boldly sent you on your first mission, I realized that what matters now is no longer the size of the troops, advanced equipment, or correct tactics. It’s absolute power. Power that no one can forget. M country has the armor that makes them arrogant, but we have you, who make us proud. I believe you won’t let Z country down.” David Clark said with full confidence. At this moment, the corner of his eye was watching 13.

“Yes, Commander!” the four replied in unison.

“All right, go carry out your assignments now. 13, you stay.”

After the others left, David Clark personally got up to close the office doors and windows, then picked up a folder from the desk and handed it to 13 with a smile.

“Take a look. We’ll talk after you finish reading.”

13 opened the first page and, for once, showed a look of surprise. “Level 1 national security clearance?”

“That’s right. I argued with the confidential department’s William Harris on the phone for an hour just to get this. Damn it, I don’t even know the names of my own soldiers, and they expect me to give orders with peace of mind!” David Clark actually started complaining like a child.

After carefully verifying the document, 13 let out a soft sigh and said, “The document is confirmed correct. Now, what does Commander Clark want to know?”

“Who are you?” David Clark asked seriously.

“Number 13, sniper of Special Ops Team 7…”

“I want to know your name.” David Clark interrupted 13’s formulaic report.

“I…” 13 hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, “I don’t have a name. No one ever gave me one. When I was still in the cultivation tank, they already started calling me 13, 13.”

“You don’t have parents?” David Clark was clearly shocked by 13’s words.

“No. I’m not the result of a man and woman making love. They synthesized the best genes to produce me.” 13 still spoke calmly, but a trace of barely perceptible sadness flashed in his eyes.

“How could they do that?!” David Clark slammed his fist angrily on the thick desk.

“Anything else you want to ask?” 13 said coldly.

David Clark hesitated for a moment and said, “How strong are you?”

“There’s no specific reference for comparison. When fully equipped, no one on a modern battlefield could eliminate us without suffering at least 2,000 times our casualties.”

David Clark was shocked once again. “Aren’t you afraid of bullets? Tell me about your equipment!” “1 is equipped with the full ‘Azure Dragon’ combat suit. Details can only be reported with the individual’s consent. 24 is equipped with the full ‘Vermilion Bird’ combat suit. Details can only be reported with the individual’s consent. 36 is equipped with the full ‘Black Tortoise’ combat suit. Details can only be reported with the individual’s consent.” When 13 reported his own, he paused, “13 is equipped with the full ‘White Tiger’ combat suit. Do you need a detailed report?”

Without thinking, David Clark said, “Detailed report!”

“‘White Tiger’ consists of protective, offensive, and auxiliary equipment. Protective equipment includes arm guards, leg guards, chest armor, helmet, and the internal ZX7 combat suit. Offensive equipment includes the heavy sniper rifle COOL—FIRE, modified light pistol GLOCK12, and a vibrating combat dagger. Auxiliary equipment includes an ammo supply pack, a suspension launcher in the left arm guard, and long-distance mobility tools.” 13 stopped reporting and quietly looked at David Clark, asking, “Anything else you want to ask?”

“A friend of mine told me you know the detailed specs of M country’s individual armor.” David Clark looked up at the ceiling and sighed.

“Your friend lied to you. We don’t know their exact specs either. It’s just that their armor and our armor are made from the same rare metal, so we know they’re strong, and their combat power is not below ours. Their team is called the ‘Divine Punishment’ Mech Squad.”

“All right, now for the last question…” David Clark suddenly stared straight at 13 and asked, “What is SEED?”

13 trembled slightly.

“I don’t know where you heard that word, but I believe you wouldn’t want to know.”

……

At the same time, in the military camp previously attacked by Special Ops Team 7

“Captain! There are 867 dead, of which more than 800 were killed with a sharp blade. The wounds are extremely clean, all killed with a single strike, …” The reporting soldier forced back his urge to vomit as he spoke.
