Section 5 The Peak of the World
readx;? However, the upper echelons ignored the noise of the people below. www.biquge.info You can say that they have made up their minds and can't tolerate rebuttals, or you can think that they didn't expect such a big reaction at all, so they didn't have any preparations.
Next, a video was played.
The footage begins with a wall: a wall that looks like it should be made of reinforced concrete or similar building materials, with someone shouting "ready" and "careful", and the camera shakes violently, but a series of cracks in the wall can still be seen.
Then, with a puff of smoke and dust, a large hole appeared in the wall, and a strange creature entered through the wall. It was a creature that was two meters tall and significantly thicker than a human. It resembles a locust with four limbs and two legs that walks upright, covered in metallic armor. However, in terms of its appearance, it's hard to tell if it's the armor it wears later, or if it's born with such a shell.
The alien warrior wielded a scythe-like melee weapon, glowing orange-yellow, and its insect-like eyes (of course, it's not sure if they were or not) were cold and ruthless, and the whole looked majestic, revealing danger from head to toe.
"Shoot!" someone shouted. It is not explicitly shown in the footage, but everyone can sense empirically that at least ten general-purpose rifles are firing at it, and at least one of them uses large bullets. Even a giant crusty monster would be difficult to resist such dense and ferocious firepower. In fact, not to mention living creatures, even armored vehicles may not be able to stop them - after all, such guns are quite powerful when firing large bullets.
However, these bullets did not seem to be of any use to this alien warrior, and it did not even pause its footsteps, and rushed directly at the enemy. It was very fast, a little dizzyingly fast, and in a flash of the camera, it rushed to a soldier with a gun on the left, and the scythe pierced through the body of the unfortunate man.
The pierced body writhed and screamed on its arm, and the Xenomorph threw his hand aside, throwing aside the mortal wounded man like a clod of dirt - and in the process, the man's body was cut in half.
This is just the beginning, just listen to the screams and the camera is shaking indiscriminately. However, in just a few moments, the screams came and went, and I don't know if it was the hand of this alien warrior or other enemies rushing over.
Everyone who watched the video, including Lu Wu, was so shocked by the tragic slaughter that they even forgot to breathe.
Where is this like a battle? It's a one-sided killing, more like a slaughterhouse killing a pig. The footage shows chaos, screams and shouts, and the soldiers on the front line of resistance are clearly frightened by the brutal killing, as several shots show the alien warriors slashing down the fleeing soldiers from behind.
"Hoplites!Where's the hoplites?!!" a voice shouted, and several exoskeletons appeared in the footage.
In terms of appearance, the exoskeleton armor is even more imposing than this alien warrior. The exoskeleton armor is not only a head taller than the Xenomorph Warrior, but it is also larger, and the weapons they hold in their hands also appear to be more powerful. Seeing the enemy wearing exoskeleton armor, this alien warrior also paused.
In an instant, the weapon in the hands of an exoskeleton armorer opened fire. This weapon is the small electromagnetic cannon that Lu Wu has seen before. This weapon is extremely powerful, and when it was originally equipped with a steel plate under the skin, it could not care about the bullets of the rifle, but it would be directly pierced by this weapon.
But this time, the alien warrior only stepped back slightly, but the orange-yellow light on his body quickly faded, dimming to less than half of the original. But that was the end of it, it pounced, the scythe-like weapon in its hand striking at the exoskeleton armor.
This time you can clearly see the difference between the two sides, the alien warrior can still fight after taking a blow, while the exoskeleton armor is directly disintegrated under this chisel blow. Not only were the fragments of the metal shell flying all over the sky, but even the human body inside was reduced to pieces.
Then, the alien warrior turned around and rushed towards the camera.
The audience knew that it was a video, but at this moment, everyone was terrified to watch. The one beside Lu Wu couldn't help but gasp, and his body couldn't help but lean back, as if he wanted to dodge the oncoming attack.
The ensuing scene was chaotic, the camera panning at an alarming rate, and it was impossible to see what was happening. But the end result is obvious, the camera falls to the ground and can no longer move, but the picture becomes clear and stable because of this. A few minutes later, the seemingly indestructible enemy finally reappeared in the camera, but this time it was lying on the ground - the orange-yellow glow of its body had faded, and what it didn't know if it was a natural shell or metal armor had proven to be unable to stop the bullets, and had been beaten like a hornet's nest. Even if it couldn't move, there were still people shooting at its corpse.
The bullets didn't hurt it at all before, but now the bullets really hit it with blood. Everyone can recall that the reason for its invulnerability before was probably the orange-yellow light on its body.
The footage continues, and the victorious people don't know what they're doing, but the panicked cries begin to remember.
"They're coming, more ......" is the last sentence of the entire video.
This concludes the recording.
Then, the commissioner, Lieutenant Colonel Aki, took the stage to speak. The content of her speech was nothing more than saying that the enemy is very strong, so you need to pick good warriors or something. But whatever the reason for which she put this video, at least this video definitely backfired her speech. The so-called incitement and agitation requires a special environment and atmosphere, with which people can even risk their lives for irrelevant things, but without this kind of atmosphere, or in front of them, if a killing video is shown to scare the audience, these incendiary words are completely meaningless.
Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Aqi did not give any orders on the spot. Otherwise, it is estimated that a mutiny will break out on the spot. She simply announced that tomorrow everyone would come over for a tryout, when she would select warriors to carry out this dangerous mission "in a combination of voluntary and selective ways."
The officers who were trained were scattered one after another, and their movements were so fast that it made people wonder if they would come to the meeting tomorrow. But then again, maybe this lady doesn't care about this at all. I think there will not be too many people in this "prisoner-taking" operation -- this kind of operation, it is estimated that ten people is the upper limit. There were about 200 people who participated in the training. Not to mention that the two hundred men were all officers - each of them had a group of subordinates. As long as one of so many people has a hot brain, it will meet her requirements.
Among the one or two hundred people, there will always be a warrior who is willing to be cannon fodder, right?
Lu Wu didn't think too much about it, and after the training was over, he could only go back. Speaking of which, his position as a commander came too suddenly, so that he didn't have time to enter this role for a while. So much so that he didn't realize it until the driver of the car at the door called out to him. He almost blended in with the others and walked away.
Sitting in an open-top transport military vehicle, Lu Wu suddenly found that he was in a good condition, because many of the people who had to leave on foot cast envious and jealous glances. This is the sorrow of defeat -- in a critical moment, life comes first, and equipment can only be put second. In addition to equipment being destroyed and discarded, there are also a large number of equipment failures. For example, the red-clothed people actually escaped with four cars at the beginning, but at that time, they were in a hurry to escape, and they used the car ruthlessly to death, and directly let the two cars fall on their stomachs halfway.
Normally, this transporter was not even a hair, but now it has become a status symbol.
Sitting in the car, the wind was whistling, and Lu Wu now finally had the opportunity to talk to the master.
"Partner, everything went as well as we expected...... Do you still think we're unlucky?" said the master. "Speaking of which, you're holding back a bit. ”
"I just felt a little sudden. Lu Wu said.
"Partner, believe me, we can do something in this world. The master said. "Heroes are born in troubled times, aren't they? There is no shortage of heroes in the world, what is lacking is troubled times. ”
It's really appropriate to describe the environment at this moment in troubled times. Lu Wu thought in his head. Although he had been mentally prepared before he came, he was still a little flustered when he really faced everything.
"Remember that principle that the veteran taught us. The master said.
"I know. Lu Wu did not answer. When the power is still small, don't be gentle and frugal, be thick-skinned, ruthless, and be ruthless. If you want a good reputation, integrity or something, you must wait until you get bigger and then slowly get it, it's too late, the Rockefeller who engaged in violent demolition can finally become a big philanthropist (to be honest, it's really a bit strange that the veteran actually pulled the Rockefeller), how many heroes and heroes, just pulled down their shamelessness at the beginning, missed the opportunity, and exhausted themselves to death.
When the veteran said these words, he was full of sighs, probably thinking of a few high-level (maybe the veteran himself would be willing to bow down), but not thick enough. However, when the veteran said these words, he probably just felt that Lu Wu just needed to refer to his life experience - just like those books that teach people business warfare always cite military examples - the two are completely unrelated things, but they can be compared and referenced, and the so-called stones of other mountains can attack jade. He probably never dreamed that Lu Wu would now be in another world and face this situation.
Speaking of which, now Lu Wu really admires the master a little.
At the beginning, he thought that the master was a bragging and even a little funny. It's more like a clown or a cross talk than a name. But now it feels like the master really deserves the name he gave himself. Lu Wu really didn't believe it at first.
Pull up a bunch of people in troubled times or something...... It feels like something that only happens in TV dramas, how could it happen to him? Besides, in this world, it's not a chaotic time. But how can I say that there is also a central government behind it? Shouldn't the refugees be moved to a safe place and the troops withdrawn to replenish and repair?
But facts speak louder than words. The refugees were not allowed to leave, and the army was left alone.
"This is an old trick of the warlocks," the master dismissed Lu Wu's question. "I have known for a long time that the Governor is dead under the calculations of Kecha Goat. As soon as the governor died, there was no one to take care of here. Don't look at the warlocks are also humans, but their attitude towards ordinary humans is ...... Basically, I don't treat them as if they were the same kind. I've been in this world for a long time, and I've seen too many of these types of situations. ”
"Anyway, partner, are you determined? Since we have to stay in this world, at least try to stand at the top of this world. ”
