Chapter 10, Hero

At the same time, the elements contained within this escape record also astonished the officers at the frontline command. This individual managed to accurately find an escape route from such a dense encirclement. Not only were the methods of escape varied and extraordinary, but he also created and utilized a wide array of transportation tools. Each escape was so thrilling that it could easily be made into a war suspense action film titled "Fat Man, Run!" The spectacle of those overweight individuals narrowly escaping at critical moments would surely leave the audience exhilarated.

Thus, the two innocent female soldiers remained at the academy, searching for the traces of the fat man every day during their free time

The overweight man, believing he was about to be executed, wept bitterly; the shape of his cries was so tragic that it could move listeners to sorrow and bring tears to their eyes

After Meiduo and Nia arrived at the frontline command post, they were taken to the hospital for physical examinations and quarantine. When they emerged, the federal officer in charge of inquiries informed them that the fat one was missing. Therefore, they could not return to their original unit for the time being and had to wait until the fat one was found and the situation verified before any further action could be taken

Seeing the gendarme approaching, the fat man hugged Milan's leg and cried out: "Help! I don't want to die! I have shed blood for the Federation and the *Book*, I have been injured in the Galileo star system, I am not a deserter!"

The captain extended his hand in a gesture of invitation and said, "Please come with us, Corporal Tian Xingjian"

Milan drew the pistol with more skill and a more dashing motion without hesitation, and coldly said: "Fatty, keep pretending. Nia is my best friend; who do you expect me to believe?"

"Nonsense! Who else could it be besides me?" Nia pounced over, her delicate and fair little hand swiftly twisting the chubby boy's ear, and scolded, "You fatso! Meiduo and I have been looking for you for a long time, and you actually hid here!"

What is even more remarkable is that among this information, there is a wealth of actual data on various types of weapons and mechs used by the imperial army. Just this alone makes everyone feel as if they have struck gold

A month later, Milan found time to meet Nia again. They spent the entire day together, and their conversations covered a wider range of topics. Finally, Nia shared her experiences with Milan.

"Nia?" the chubby one exclaimed in surprise

A gendarmerie captain approached the fat man and asked, "Are you Corporal Tian from the First Squad of the Logistics Section of the Third Armored Battalion of the Fifth Armored Division of the Federal Aviation Marine Corps?"

The only hope is to find the fat man, as only the battlefield recorder on his arm can explain everything

Before the fat man could escape from the clutches of Milan, Nia appeared at the laboratory door with a squad of gendarmes, leaving the fat man utterly dumbfounded

Milan was at a loss for words, kicking aside the ridiculous and comical fat man, and asked Nia: "Are you saying that this kind of guy is a federal hero who single-handedly took out the entire command of the Gachalin Airborne Marine Corps' 3rd Mech Division, including a major general and a brigadier general?"

Upon hearing Nia's description, Milan immediately confirmed that the chubby individual in the laboratory was indeed the person Nia was looking for, as the name matched. However, the construction of the simulation network had reached a critical juncture, and the chubby individual played a very important role in it. Not only was he responsible for the production of the first simulation pod, but he also handled a portion of the data extrapolation and calculation work. His familiarity with the mechs and various weapons of both the Federation and the Gachalin Empire was unmatched, and many simulation data sets had to undergo his review, as he was the only person in the laboratory and the library with practical combat experience

The chubby man nodded slowly.

"Oh dear, oh dear, take it easy, take it easy. What do you want from me?" the chubby man exclaimed, secretly thinking to himself, "Two young ladies are looking for me? Could it be that they have fallen in love with me? A double date... how wonderful!"

They excitedly waved their arms and shouted

Nia nodded awkwardly, appearing as if she wanted to laugh but couldn't.

The hero, looking east and then west, turned his head and incredulously pointed at himself, asking: "Am I a hero?"

Found !!!

Such a person, not to mention the frontline command center needing personnel, even if someone from the President's office were to come, Professor Boswell would not be swayed

The chubby man got up, patted himself down, and saw Milan glaring at him with her hands on her hips. With an innocent expression, the chubby man said: "I truly feel wronged, I have no idea how I offended this woman."

The words "lewd and shameless" seemed to remind Nia of a scene from her escape in the jungle, causing her face to flush bright red. In her embarrassment and anger, she noticed the chubby man lying on the ground, refusing to get up, with a silly, reminiscent expression on his face. This infuriated her to the point of smoke coming out of her seven orifices. She stamped her foot in frustration and turned to run out.

Soon, with the help of the *Map* book, the computer at the frontline command post accessed the battlefield recorder of the corpulent soldier. Due to the Federal Army's prolonged retreat lasting six months, there had been no department responsible for extracting wartime soldier recorder information. Once this task was successfully initiated, the corpulent soldier became a temporary extraneous personnel due to the complete annihilation of his unit, and this status has persisted until now

Amidst the lamentations of the overweight individuals, the laboratory was thrown into chaos.

Finally, when they saw the fat man installing that remote-controlled energy cannon in the southwest direction of the forward base of the Imperial Army outside New Rome, all the officers jumped up

Three months ago, Milan, who had been engrossed in the construction of simulated warfare networks, encountered her former high school classmate Nia while out purchasing personal supplies. The two good friends were very excited, as such reunions are particularly rare during wartime. However, at that moment, they did not discuss their circumstances; one was busy returning to the laboratory, while the other was occupied with finding someone. They agreed on a time for their next meeting before parting ways

Thus, when the recorded information appeared on the computer screen, the astonishing twenty-one escape records caused several lines of concern to appear on the faces of all the officers. This was the most outrageous soldier information they had ever encountered

The matters and the library affairs proceeded very smoothly. Boswell, busy with work, readily agreed to their request without a second thought, but it would have to wait until the simulated network construction was completed. Meanwhile, obtaining a small battlefield recorder from the overweight individual was exceedingly easy for Milan, who had long been accustomed to wielding power.

Their battlefield recorder had already been taken by the imperial army when they were captured, and the two female soldiers, who had no experience in ground combat or wilderness survival, not only escaped the enemy's close surveillance but also miraculously traversed thousands of kilometers of combat zones from New Rome to Galipalan. This is hard to believe, especially with the key figure Tian Xingjian mysteriously disappearing. It is already quite remarkable that the front-line command did not consider the two as traitorous imperial spies.

After all, they were very good friends, and Milan almost without hesitation informed Nia of the situation. This sudden news filled Nia with joy, and she immediately sought out Meiduo. The three of them discussed and decided to first talk to Professor Boswell. Even if they could not get the fat man to come out, they still needed to obtain his battlefield recorder.

With a loud "smack!", Nia delivered a flying kick that sent the lecherous fat man several meters away, and she shouted fiercely, "I came to find you for this! You shameless, despicable fat man!"
