The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 9 Base



Chapter 9 Base

Harbin, a road on the outskirts of the city.

Because it was located on the edge of the city, the surrounding area was very quiet. At this moment, a deep engine sound broke the silence. An armored convoy was speeding along the road, heading towards Fengluo Mountain.

Soon, the armored convoy arrived at the entrance to Fengluo Mountain, where a tight checkpoint was set up.

The soldiers at the checkpoint, armed and watching the road ahead warily, stepped forward as the armored convoy approached, raising their hands to signal the vehicles to stop and be inspected.

The armored convoy stopped upon seeing this, and a man got out of the first armored vehicle. He operated the wristwatch on his left wrist for a few moments, and then the sentry's wristwatch beeped.

The soldier looked down at the information on his wristwatch, then looked up and waved to his teammates behind him to indicate that everything was normal and they could proceed.

The armored convoy passed the checkpoint smoothly and entered the mountainside.

The vehicle drove down the internal passageway and stopped in a spacious underground parking lot about five minutes later.

At this moment, a staff member from the logistics department came over to Ma Mingzhe and said, "Captain Ma, we have arrived at our destination. Please lead your teammates out of the vehicle and wait here. Someone will come to meet you."

Ma Mingzhe nodded his thanks quickly. Then, he turned around and led the other team members out of the car. They lined up neatly and stood in place, waiting for the arrival of the pick-up personnel while curiously looking around at their surroundings.

At this moment, someone in the group sighed softly, "This base must have been built by hollowing out the entire mountain, right? The parking lot is so big. It would be even better if we could go inside and visit the interior of the base."

Hearing these words, Ma Mingzhe couldn't help but smile and said softly, "You haven't even reported for duty yet, and you're already thinking about all sorts of things. Don't rush, maybe there will be a chance for you to visit later. Okay, everyone quiet down, someone's coming."

Just moments after he finished speaking, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a Special Affairs Bureau uniform walked out from around the corner of the parking lot. He smiled and walked steadily toward where everyone was. Upon seeing this, Ma Mingzhe immediately went to greet him.

The man extended his right hand to shake hands with Ma Mingzhe and said with a warm smile, "Captain Ma, hello! I am He Chengchou, the assistant secretary of Director Zhong. I'm sorry, Director Zheng has some things to take care of, so he can't come to greet you in person. He can only entrust me to receive you. Please forgive me."

Upon hearing Assistant He's words, Ma Mingzhe quickly replied, "Assistant He, you flatter me. We'll be colleagues from now on, no need to be so polite."

“Alright, I’ll lead you all to the action team’s office for registration now, and then I’ll take you to collect your equipment. Ma, please stay close to me, I’ll lead the way.” Assistant He replied with a smile.

After saying that, he turned and led the way into the base.

The group followed Assistant He into the depths of the base. After passing through a door unlocked by pupils, they walked for about five minutes before finally arriving at a spacious office.

Assistant He pushed open the door and said to Ma Mingzhe, "Team Leader Ma, this is the office area that the bureau has assigned to your action team. All the equipment has been installed. If you have any other needs, please feel free to ask."

Ma Mingzhe walked into the office, looked around, and said with satisfaction, "There are no problems at all. Everything here is excellent." He was very satisfied with his new work environment.

"That's good," Assistant He said, then took out an electronic register to complete the filing for the others and added, "You are now officially members of the Harbin Special Operations Bureau's action team. The next step is to go to the equipment department to collect the team's equipment."

Assistant He led the team toward the equipment department's warehouse.

Upon entering the warehouse, the group saw the staff who were already waiting there. They had already organized the weapons and equipment for each member of the team and neatly arranged them on the shelves. The team members stepped forward to collect their own equipment and quickly put it on.

Before long, more than thirty members of the action team appeared on the scene, wearing black Special Operations Bureau uniforms, special operations Bureau wristwatches on their left wrists, and new firearms hanging on their right hips.

Instantly, the entire warehouse seemed to be filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Assistant He and Ma Mingzhe exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of satisfaction.

At this moment, Assistant He turned around and clapped his hands behind him, attracting everyone's attention. Two people walked out from behind, each carrying two briefcases, and walked towards the action team.

Assistant He pointed to the briefcase and said to the team members, "This is a surprise that the bureau specially prepared for you! It will also become an important tool for your team to strike at Orphnoch in the future."

Without further ado, he opened the briefcase, took out the belt inside, and introduced it: "This is the armor developed by the chief technology advisor of the Special Affairs Bureau specifically to deal with Orphnoch. It is called the [Leo Cavalry]. Although we have only four sets assigned to our Harbin Special Affairs Bureau so far, more will be added later."

Assistant He paused for a moment, looked at everyone seriously, and said, "This suit of armor not only represents powerful strength, but also signifies our responsibility and commitment to the safety of the city."

He continued, "This equipment uses state-of-the-art technology, allowing the user to possess superhuman speed, strength, and reaction capabilities."

Assistant He then sent the instructions for using the [Leo Cavalry] and other precautions to each member of the action team's wristwatch, emphasizing, "You can now choose four people to receive these four sets of armor. At the same time, you must understand that what you are receiving is not just this set of armor, but also a heavy responsibility!"

After hearing this, the expressions of the people present changed from excitement to contemplation, as they deeply understood the weight of this responsibility.

Assistant He turned to Ma Mingzhe and said, "Team Leader Ma, I've finished relaying the message. The next action team will be led by you. Director Zhong has high hopes for you." Before Ma Mingzhe could react, Assistant He led the two of them out of the warehouse.

Ma Mingzhe gazed silently at Assistant He's departing figure, then slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling on the team members lined up neatly below.

He said in a deep voice, "Assistant He has already explained it very clearly. I believe everyone has gained a detailed understanding of the new armor set of [Leo Cavalry] through the wristwatches."

Now, I'd like to ask, is there anyone who wants to try wearing this? Please step forward.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Kai, Liu Ming, and two other team members stepped forward without hesitation. Their eyes were firm, clearly indicating that they had made the decision after careful consideration.
