I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 60

Author Note: I’m sorry for the late update and also for the unedited chapter this time. I have something going on IRL so I can only publish my draft this time. As soon as I finished with my business I’ll quickly fix the chapter. You might find some awkward English, it’s because I sometimes write in my native language first and then translate it and finally edit it. Please bear it for a moment. Thanks.

Keiko stood by the stream, thinking about whether there was danger lurking in the stream. As she was just thinking about it, footsteps suddenly sounded behind her.

She turned around quickly and found a female officer who was also fully armed, walking towards her. At a glance, the epaulet was the rank of major, and at a glance, she knew it was Jeanne.

Why is this woman here again? Keiko began to murmur in her heart.

Jeanne tapped on the earphone part of her helmet and signaled to Keiko to turn on the internal voice. Only then did Keiko react, and she quickly logged into the system and turned on the internal voice. Only then did she hear Jeanne’s voice through the intercom headset:

“Come with me, I found something,” After saying that, Jeanne took the lead and walked into the jungle.

Keiko frowned and followed.

Jeanne took Keiko to a small open area in the jungle. Jeanne was about to persuade Keiko not to go any further when she stopped, squatted down, and looked at the ashes on the ground, and said, “Look, there are signs of a fire here. The pot and stand were overturned, and the water inside was spilled. Also here are two large travel backpacks, which were also left by the roots of the tree.

She stood up again, walked to the side, pointed to the traces on the ground, and said, “Here, there are traces of dragged clothing and messy footprints. The span is quite large. It should be caused by rushing in a hurry. What do you think happened here? ”

Keiko looked at these traces and analyzed them. “Looking at the footprints, there are at least four people walking in this jungle together, and looking at the extent of the ashes burning, it has been naturally extinguished for at least six or seven hours.” I guess it is a temporary place to have lunch at noon. As soon as the pot was boiled, one of them was attacked and dragged away, while the others were hurriedly chased and have not returned. ”

Jeanne nodded and added, “Most likely an adventurer.”

The two circled around to a small bush at the back, which was also a mess, apparently trampled and crushed by a huge animal. The herbs on the ground showed signs of corrosion, and the surrounding trees were cut down, and the sections were smooth.

“It’s a predator with corrosive venom on its body and a sharp spike. It may be scorpion-shaped, but there are very few scorpion-shaped predators, and they are all first-level predators when they act alone; they are the overlords of the first level. If they were really ambushed by those monsters, I’m afraid these adventurers had long gone. It seems that there was no return. ”

Keiko looked around, and suddenly found something reflecting light in the grass.

She stepped forward, picked it up, and found that it turned out to be an old pocket watch. This thing is an antique among antiques in this era.

Keiko was curious and opened the cover of the pocket watch to find a photo inside that had changed color.

It was a photo of a family of three, but the appearance of the child and father had been scrapped off for some reason, and there was only one woman left, smiling brightly at Keiko. The woman is pretty, and she looks like a Chinese person. Keiko always feels like she has seen it somewhere.

Jeanne snatched the pocket watch from Keiko’s hand, then her eyes turned solemn, slightly frowning. After looking at it, she suddenly said to Keiko, “Sorry, Lieutenant Lee, we may encounter a major incident.

“What’s wrong?” Keiko’s heart tightened, and she quickly asked,

“The granddaughter of Feynman, the former chief of the Science Institute, might be in danger…”

“What did you say?”

“Second Lieutenant Lee, hurry up and contact Captain Amanda and ask her to send reinforcements,” Jeanne said, with a solemn expression.

As she spoke, she opened her wristband ID and quickly tapped the holographic screen with her five fingers, wondering what she was doing.

“No, Major, I don’t understand. What happened? How could Feynman’s granddaughter appear in the jungle? ” Keiko asked in confusion.

“I don’t know why she appeared in the jungle, but this pocket watch is Feynman’s memento. It has been kept by his granddaughter for the past five years. His granddaughter’s name is Bailey, and she is five years older than me. And now she is an expert in the biology of the Feynman Institute of Sciences, specializing in Zerg’s study, and I have a good relationship with her, and I will meet and gather when I have time, “Jeanne explained to Keiko, with two minds, while operating the bracelet ID.

Then she dialed the video call with someone, and soon, she had a conversation with a male officer:

“Sistine, are you at the Science Institute in the capital right now?”

“Jeanne? Why did you contact me suddenly?” The other party sounded very surprised.

Don’t talk nonsense, answer my question.

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

“Do you know what happened to Miss Bailey?”

“You!” The other party was obviously startled, and after a while, maybe it was a place with fewer people, and then he continued to reply, “We just got the news an hour ago, and now they are still pressed, and they already kept it tightly sealed so it couldn’t leak.” But Jeanne, how did you know? ”

“I happened to find the scene of the incident, and I found Sister Bailey’s pocket watch,” Jeanne replied.

“What? Great! Hurry up and send someone to the rescue. Is it the third squadron of the Western Army Mecha Division? I’ll send a rescue request. ”

“Tell me the truth, why did Sister Bailey come out of the city? Why do you have to hold back and dare not speak up? ” Jeanne asked.
