Walking out of Delivery Passage, a ferocious steel beast was waiting quietly outside.
Its extremely thick barrel was facing him, like a giant beast stretching out its fangs.
From the overall appearance, this tank is different from the modern tanks Liu Zheng has seen, but more like the old tanks from World War II.
There are scattered gray spots on the camouflage paint, and there are also many dents made by artillery shells or machine guns on the surrounding armor.
But this does not affect the beauty of this tank at all. Compared with the oily and pink-faced playboys of today, it looks more like a war-torn veteran.
"Like it?"
The driver opened the roof cover and stood out.
"Like it."
Liu Zheng said honestly.
No man can refuse such a tank unless he is given a Gundam.
"Its code is VK4503(H), but I prefer to call it Kitty."
"It is the prototype of this type of tank, but I made some minor modifications after I got it, and now its performance is more powerful than any model after it."
The driver said proudly.
"It is both my child and my lover."
"So, if you want another crew to drive it, it must pass my inspection."
The driver stared into his eyes and said seriously.
"Okay."
Liu Zheng agreed.
If the crew assigned to him by Red Ghost is not competent, then there will be no crew in Metropolis capable of driving this tank.
He took out the box and opened it.
When the driver saw the medal inside, his expression suddenly changed.
"Davarisi, let us crush those pests!"
Liu Zheng shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the four Golden Star Medal immediately burst into scorching red light.
The red light, like the bloody setting sun, quickly transformed into the outlines of four human figures, standing in a row in front of Liu Zheng.
Their faces and attire are very vague. It can only be roughly seen that they are wearing coats similar to leather jackets, with soft epaulettes on their shoulders, and hats with bumper strips and ear protection on their heads.
The only thing that is clear is their sharp and determined eyes.
"Reporting to you from the No. 1 crew, Comrade Commander. I am the commander Maria"
The first tank soldier from the left takes a step forward and salutes Liu Zheng.
The voice was calm and powerful, but one could still tell that it was a woman's voice.
Red Ghost's Ace tank commander is actually a woman?
He was a little surprised, but it made sense after thinking about it.
"Salute to you, Commander Maria. I am a layman and am only responsible for strategic command. I still leave the tactical command to you."
Liu Zheng replied.
"Wise decision, Comrade Commander."
Maria Captain said straightforwardly.
"I just said where did he get the tank crew? It turned out to be you, Gray Livestock of Red Gauze Emperor."
The driver suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
The four crew members turned to look at him.
"Tiger King Heavy Tank, it turns out to be the remnant of the Guard Army."
Maria The commander glanced at the tank and said in a cold tone.
"If I had known you were looking for them, I wouldn't have rented it to you."
The driver said to Liu Zheng.
"What? Are you afraid that your tank's performance is too poor and you will be embarrassed in front of us?"
Maria Commander mocked.
"Fart! This is a car that I have carefully improved. Its performance is several Rhine rivers better than your 'steel'!"
The driver said angrily.
"Who doesn't know how to brag? I won't know if it's true until I drive it."
Maria The commander said calmly.
"Dream, who allowed you to drive my Kitty?"
"Kitty, hehe, only you Germanic people with no artistic ability would choose such a name that has no sense of beauty."
Maria Commander taunted again.
"Damn woman, I'm going to challenge you to a duel!"
The driver said that he was about to jump out of the tank and rush towards Maria.
"Stop, stop, stop."
Liu Zheng had to step in to stop it.
"Maria, Commander, Red Ghost sent you here to cooperate with me in killing insects, not to cause internal strife."
He said to the Maria commander.
"We are not on the same side as him, Comrade Commander."
Maria The captain immediately retorted, but did not continue to taunt the driver.
"Master driver."
"Call me Major."
The driver said loudly.
"Okay, Major Driver. I definitely can't afford to rent your crew. Rather than asking me to find a pheasant crew from somewhere else, why not let your old rivals drive? At least they won't insult your car, right?"
Liu Zheng Following what is good is like a flowing path.
"Hmph, I'll give you some face this time. Come in."
The driver's face changed for a while before he said, and then got back into the tank.
"Maria Commander, the mission comes first."
He extended his right hand towards the Maria commander.
"I understand that as long as he does not continue to provoke, I will treat him as if he does not exist."
The latter stretched out his right hand and shook it.
"Thank you for your understanding."
After the communication was completed, Liu Zheng and the four crew members climbed into the tank.
Entering the interior, the space inside was much larger than he imagined.
Although it is not spacious and comfortable, it is definitely not cramped.
Not to mention a five-person crew, even an eight-person crew is more than enough.
The inside of the tank is full of pipes, switches and buttons, as well as many strange-looking symbols, which are different from what Liu Zheng saw in the movie.
"Are you still researching the combination of technology and witchcraft? What a crazy and stupid idea."
Maria Commander still couldn't hold it back.
"We are no longer there, and you are no longer there."
The driver did not retort this time, but said calmly.
"We are all remnants of the old era. Our cause has become the cornerstone of others, and your traces have long been erased. There is no longer even a sacred war, only a group of beasts and another group of carrion fighting for carrion. It's ridiculous to think about it, isn't it?"
he asked rhetorically.
"I don't find it ridiculous. Our traces can be erased, but the foundation of our existence cannot be erased. One day, people will call us back, even if I no longer exist by then."
Maria Captain said firmly.
"You are so confident for no reason. What I hate the most is your appearance. But it doesn't matter. Thanks to this young man, I should be able to exist for a long time. Then let me wait and see if your people will call for your return."
"Now, I just want a hearty war."
The driver walked to the place where the ammunition was piled and lifted a box out of it.
"What's inside is Goblin Bomb. Remember, don't open it when you don't need to use it. When you use it, you should also fill and close the box quickly. It is best to fill more than three rounds in a row each time."
He warned Liu Zheng, although everyone present knew that he was speaking to the commander Maria.
Putting down the box, he took out a green cannonball.
"This is a good thing promised to you. I call it 'Hell Broth'. When you are at a disadvantage or want to clean up the battlefield, you can use this shell. It will definitely surprise you."
"But remember, don't leave the tank unless you run out of the coverage area after use, otherwise Black Goat's Young's bloodline will not be able to save you."
The driver's last words were meant for Liu Zheng.
"Remember."
He nodded.
"Don't forget to count, hope it's not 0."
The driver glanced at Commander Maria, and then his figure gradually disappeared.
"It would be 0 if he were driving."
After his figure completely disappeared, Commander Maria finally taunted him.
"Let's go, we're running out of time."
Faced with this age-old grudge, Liu Zheng had nothing to say but urged us to set off.
"Okay, Comrade Commander."
Commander Maria responded, and then got busy with other crew members.
Red Ghost was not bragging. They quickly became familiar with the situation in the car and entered their respective positions.
"What am I going to do?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"You just become a machine gunner."
Maria The commander pointed at a periscope-like device and said.
"Normal machine gunners have to go outside the cabin door, but this King Tiger has been modified so that you can control it from the cabin to attack the enemy."
She introduced.
"Okay, I'll try."
Liu Zheng came to the periscope, put his eyes on it, and immediately saw the scene outside.
The field of view is very good, just like looking directly with your eyes, except that the light is slightly distorted. Once you get used to it, it will be fine.
Below the periscope is a control device like an airplane joystick, which can adjust the viewing angle.
There are two red buttons on it, which should be the shooting buttons of the machine gun.
"The button on the left is an anti-aircraft machine gun, and the button on the right is a heavy machine gun."
Maria The commander said with great detail.
"I understand."
Liu Zheng nodded.
"Then, Comrade Commander, please give the order. Where is the enemy?"
All the crew members looked at him.
"Right here!"
Liu Zheng took out the map and stabbed the location of the office building with the tip of his tentacle.
