Chapter 24: Swimming

The rescue team stopped again when it approached twenty kilometers from Uma City.

"I can't really leave this time......"

Returning from scouting ahead, Caroline said with some frustration.

Now the seven of them were nested in a hidden cave, and they didn't dare to show their heads casually. Every now and then a monk would fly over their heads. In fact, this is already the front line, and the army of monks is gathered. Anything further on, it could be spotted by patrolling monk squads at any time. It's not easy to kill them by sneak attack.

Besides, the fierce gunfire must attract more monks, and they will really die.

Everyone looked at each other.

It's all here, and if it falls short, it will be too troublesome.

Everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Tianjiu in unison.

Zhang Tianjiu is eating cookies.

It was deliciously eaten.

Everyone is also a little speechless, I have never seen such a foodie, this kind of military compressed biscuits that are not as good as shit, actually eat so with relish, it looks like eating a seafood feast.

"Why are you looking at me?

"Well fed, good swimming!"

"Swimming?"

Everyone stared at each other, a little unclear.

"You stupid, let's not go and swim down the Mali River into the city. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up suddenly.

yes, why didn't you think of this trick?

Only Berry asked stupidly, "Boss, the swimming enemy won't be able to spot us, will they?"

Zhang Tianjiu smiled: "They generally don't pay attention to the river. ”

With the development of science and technology to this day, the so-called navy in ancient times has long ceased to exist. Since the battlefield was moved to space, the traditional navy has become an integral part of the army. In the face of modern detection equipment, no matter how deep the sea water is, it can no longer provide any shelter for the submarine. Space satellites can directly detect the seabed through seawater, metal submarines seem to sail in broad daylight, and precision-guided weapons can hit submarines thousands of meters underwater with incredible accuracy.

Inland rivers like the Mali River basically don't have any water troops.

The monks also did not pay attention to the river, as long as there were no large ships fleeing from the Mali River. A few or five people dived to escape or dive into the city, and it didn't matter to them.

So far, the army of monks has used a flat-push strategy, which means that in their eyes, the level of technological humans is scum. There is no difference between Governor Gregory, the supreme leader of Nore Star, and one of the lowest pariahs, all ants.

The army of monks has no intention of recruiting anyone from the technological society, let alone establishing a "puppet government" immediately, and after completely eliminating the resistance on the planet of technological human migration, the army of monks will establish their own power and appoint their own people to manage it.

For them, there is only one use for technological humans - slaves!

Because of their obvious superiority in force, the army of monks did not realize that there was anything wrong with the flattening strategy.

Have you ever seen a god negotiate with an ant?

Therefore, if the elite class of Uma City were in groups of three or five and dived and escaped en masse, it was really possible to succeed.

It's just that even if he absconded out of Uma City, there was still an army of monks outside the city.

No matter where you flee, as long as you can't escape from Noray, sooner or later you will become a trophy of the monks' army.

"You've thought about it for a long time, haven't you?"

Caroline glanced at Zhang Tianjiu, who was sitting beside her, took out the compressed biscuit from her clothes pocket, and took a big bite to eat. Although this dead bald head is annoying and will do it at every opportunity, Caroline still likes to stay with him.

There is a sense of security.

This guy is very eccentric, as if he has schizophrenia, once he enters the "battle mode", he seems to have changed as if he has changed a person, fierce and vicious, and he is no longer the ruffian little soldier egg.

Caroline wasn't such a timid person either.

Cowardice can't do mercenaries.

But now the pattern of the war is completely different, and they are now facing ridiculously powerful monks, completely different from the enemies of the past. In the past, those enemies, no matter how powerful they were, were just like her, flesh-and-blood humans, and when they were hit by energy guns, they exploded into a big hole.

However, the monks are different, they are not afraid of energy guns!

Without mechs, without heavy weapons, Caroline had a deep sense of powerlessness and despair in front of the monk.

Until Zhang Tianjiu appeared.

This kid kills the monk and that's called a neat one.

Whether it's a mercenary or a woman, they naturally like to be with the strong.

A strong man will always be popular with women.

The only sound left in the cave was the sound of chewing food, like a swarm of ground rats.

"Boss, when the time comes, let's dive out of the city, right?"

Berry asked vaguely as he ate on the biscuits. In this group of people, the only one who eats more viciously than Zhang Tianjiu is this big man who weighs more than 200 catties.

"Then let's talk about it then, the key is to find the little cub first. Judging from the information, it was quite a toss-up master. ”

Zhang Tianjiu snorted and said.

He has always had no good impression of this kind of noble family.

Night was falling.

A group of seven people came out of the cave and sneaked towards the banks of the Mali River.

In the modern scientific and technological society, for combat troops, the difference between day and night is not much, and the exquisite night vision device can allow the soldier's eyes to quickly adapt to the surrounding environment in the dark night when he can't see his fingers.

It's adaptation, not seeing clearly.

These are two completely different concepts.

The night vision device will emit ultrasound waves, which will then describe and restore the surrounding environment and transmit it to the soldier's mind. In this way, even if the warrior cannot see the situation around him, he can move and fight independently, which basically does not have much impact.

But for monks who are not accustomed to using high-tech products, there is a certain difference between day and night. Their keen sensory perception is diminished when they are out of sight.

Therefore, monks do not usually fight at night.

Of course, if the tech man must fight at night, the monk must also accompany him to the end. At all times, their senses and reactions are much stronger than those of tech people.

However, on the outskirts of the city, it is already equivalent to the rear of the battlefield, and after nightfall, there are many fewer air patrols.

The rescue team sneaked to the banks of the Mali River and slid silently into the water. The tactical vest worn on the body is not only bulletproof, but also acts as a life jacket in the water, and automatically changes color to blend in with the surrounding environment.

At night, as long as it is not a deliberate search, no monk will usually find seven people in the Mali River heading towards the city. Unless they are monks with high cultivation, such as the Venerable level, who happen to fly over the Mali River, the powerful power of divine thoughts will search for them.

But in this kind of ground battlefield, a Venerable-level monk is already a commander of a high rank, and he won't come out and fly out at night to play.

They went upriver to the city of Uma, and this section of the Mali River was particularly meandering, with a distance of only 20 kilometers in a straight line on the map, but more than 30 kilometers by water. Fortunately, the flying shoes also provide some power in the water, which makes their water journey less strenuous.

Approaching dawn, they crept into the city of Ummah.

At night, the city of Uma is still brightly lit, but it is relatively quiet. There were many people moving on the streets, all silently building fortifications, rescuing the wounded, repairing mechs and heavy weapons, carrying ammunition boxes, and nervously preparing for another round of fierce battles after dawn.

The city was devastated and many high-rise buildings were bombed into ruins.

Before the war with the Xiuzhen civilization, the technological society experienced a rare period of peace, although such a peaceful and prosperous era was not long, but many people were accustomed to enjoying peace and tired of war.

It was the Xiuzhen civilization that once again dragged the world of science and technology into the flames of war.

Most of the inhabitants of Uma City are tired of the war.

Moreover, in the face of a war with no chance of winning, the people in the city have long been discouraged. If it weren't for the fact that the army of monks did not accept negotiations, or even surrender in the sense of equality at all, I am afraid that the entire city defense system would have collapsed a few days ago.

Either be a slave or fight to the end.

The monks didn't give the techno-humans of Uma City more options.

Now, Zhang Tianjiu smelled a strong smell of failure from this seemingly united unity.

Everyone knows that no matter how hard they fight, the end of Uma City is doomed.

They're just doing their best.

The only consolation is that the government of Uma City is still functioning, and the nobles and officials who used to be high in the sky are still holding their posts - if they don't stick to their posts, they can't do it, the air supremacy above Uma City has been lost, and they can't leave even if they want to.

Zhang Tianjiu didn't bother to care about this, and as soon as he entered the city, he said to Caroline: "Quick, connect with Skynet and find out Tolsi." ”

It would be best if Tolsi could be found at the first time, and then take advantage of the darkness to take him out of the city and go straight to the city of Mari.

At the same time as giving instructions to Caroline, Little Peach had already connected to the Skynet system and was searching. Although the Skynet system in the entire Uma theater has been destroyed, the LAN in the city is still operating.

This is what the top brass of Ummah City have done their best to maintain, and modern warfare, without network command, is simply unimaginable.

"Found it, that little cub is in the factory area of Dongcheng......"

Not long after, Caroline exclaimed, and a holographic projection appeared in front of everyone.

I saw a blonde boy in a building, seriously overhauling a mecha, and it could be seen that he was actually quite proficient in the use of mechanical arms.

The holographic projection gives a frontal view of the blonde teenager.

"After comparison, the match is as high as 96.7%. ”

This is the comment given by the computer. In other words, this blonde boy is the Tolsy Gregory they are looking for, the second son of the Governor of Noray.

"This kid is a mechanic?"

Zhang Tianjiu asked in surprise.

"Probably. ”

Caroline didn't know much more about Tolsi's situation than he did.

"Go, go get him. ”

"There is a word in advance, if this kid dares to blow up his wings, he will beat him to death for his brother. Take it away if you get knocked out!"
