Chapter 47: Flying off gravity
Use up one collapsed teleporter, and they're left with two.
"Crazy, are you sure it's here?"
"Of course. ”
It was natural for Patrick to have such doubts—a second before they were in the middle of a snowy field, but now they were in a green woods, and there was a small bungalow not far ahead. How could there be such a place in Antarctica, except for empty cities?
However, the spherical roof says it all, and this is just a simulated ecosphere. For them, the small bungalow may just be a plastic model for the puppets to live in.
The DED system was detected on the head-up display, and they had already been detected by the other party when they teleported in, and they had no way to escape with the collapse teleportation, at least they had to deal with the jammer first.
It's jumping into a fire pit, Patrick thought. But even so, he wanted to rescue Lunessia, she was just a failure of the "Three Goddesses" plan, but she shouldn't have to die for them. Besides, he had promised Geevti that he would ensure Lunicia's safety, and now it was time to keep that promise.
"G41, stand still and keep an eye on your surroundings," Patrick said, "go crazy and find out where the jammer is." ”
"Yes, master!"
"Understood. ”
Patrick walked out of the woods and towards the bungalow. He glanced around quietly, and although he couldn't use the scan, based on what he had observed, there were at least ten Southern Union soldiers in ambush nearby.
I climbed over the fence and stepped into the courtyard of the bungalow, where the weeds had reached my ankles, and the flowers in the garden had withered, and I should have not taken care of them for a long time. The stone path leading to the main entrance was covered with sand and dust, and thick vines climbed the columns.
Patrick slowly pushed open the slightly decaying wooden door and walked into the bungalow, through the hallway, to the living room.
"You finally showed up, I thought you didn't want it. ”
Patrick met such a person for the first time. The man who spoke was covered in tattoos, even on his neck and scalp, and only his face was clean. He sat on the couch, his right hand on the silver-haired girl's shoulder, and his left arm resting on the back of the couch. Behind him, stood two TASA elites, their eyes straight ahead.
"I almost wanted to make some scent to lure you over, but you don't think you can smell blood with a filter. ”
Patrick was silent, standing still.
"Huh?" the man raised an eyebrow, "I don't understand it right now...... Forget it, just when you just can't do anything. ”
Is he stalling? It is not difficult to understand why he had to find Lunicia until now, in order to prevent them from boarding the "Selene". He prepared the card from the start, just to see when it was played.
"Introduce yourself," the man stood up, "I'm Zvado Philip, and a figure like you probably doesn't need me to say that you know my father too." ”
Professor Philip, the representative of Antarctic scientists who led the "Three Goddesses" project, was killed in a riot in Canberra in 2086. Zvado was undoubtedly the only survivor of the family, a six-year-old son at the time.
"Why are you silent?" asked Zvado, "don't you know what's going on?
Patrick didn't think there was anything good to say about him, and keeping quiet was the best thing to do.
Seeing that he was silent, Zvado suddenly burst out laughing, bent over with exaggerated laughter, and then abruptly stopped, returning to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"I can't help you, unruly beast," he shrugged, "if you're not going to talk...... Then I had no choice but to keep my promise. ”
Zvado shoved Lunicia over, and Patrick hurriedly grabbed her and pulled her behind him. When he looked up at Zvado again, the latter had already turned to face the two TASA elites behind him.
"Kill them. Zvado said lightly, and after saying that, he disappeared into a flash of light.
The TASA elite received the order and immediately raised their guns. However, Patrick got ahead of them, and the robotic arm slammed into the ground, and an orange shield rose to block the bullets flying from the firelight. Patrick then swapped out his rifle from behind and fired in front of him.
The two TASA elites had not yet completely collapsed, and three more ropes descended from the roof of the building and broke through the window. Patrick hurriedly pushed Lunicia and fired at it.
"You go upstairs first!" Patrick shouted, and the head-up monitor showed that there were only five seconds left in the shield field.
"Woo!" Lunicia didn't care so much, and tried to take as many steps as she could, climbing up to the second floor.
Patrick retreated as he fired, and when the TASA elite found that the shield field was gone, they immediately used their numerical advantage to surround them. In the face of the enemy's surprise attack, Patrick emptied the rifle and had no time to reload, so he had to take out his pistol and continue to resist. He made a move that TASA's elite didn't expect: instead of retreating up the stairs, he rushed to one TASA in two steps, grabbed the opponent's rifle with his left hand, pushed it up, put the pistol against his chest, fired three shots in quick succession, and turned around at the same time, and it was the TASA who was spaced between Patrick and his two teammates.
By the time the battered TASA fell, Patrick had already flipped over the couch to use it as cover. TASA, WHO HAD BEEN SWEPT DOWN BY HIM BEHIND THE COUCH, WAS ABOUT TO GET BACK UP WHEN PATRICK SHOT THE TWO ENEMIES IN THE HEADS TWICE.
There are two bullets left. Patrick calculated, and at the same time his movements did not slow down in the slightest. He quickly pulled out a flashbang, pressed the button, and threw it under the couch. The bungalow was filled with dazzling white light for a moment, and he seized the opportunity to run out of cover to the right, raised his pistol to aim, and pulled the trigger. The only two remaining bullets managed to hit the enemy in the head, sending them straight to hell.
"Madness, haven't you found the location of the jammer?" asked Patrick, running quickly upstairs.
"Yes," replied the madman, "but not in the building we are." TASA has sealed off this place, and you can't break through it, it's just a battle of trapped beasts. ”
"And how are we going to leave?"
"Aren't I hacking into the jammer? as soon as I turn it off, you use the collapse conveyor to take them away. ”
"I see. ”
Patrick enters the room opposite the stairs and finds Lunicia huddled in the corner. He pulled her up, went to the window, and looked at her.
"It's rude. Patrick decisively picked up Lunicea.
"Huh!" Lunicia startled.
"If you want to live, don't move. ”
They jumped from the window, the exoskeletons of their legs softening the impact of their fall. Without a pause, Patrick immediately ran back into the woods.
"G41, how's your side?"
"The woods are cleared. ”
The gunshots rang out again, and Patrick immediately shielded Lunicia with his body, several bullets hitting him in the right shoulder and back.
He turned his head to look and saw that the attack was coming from the lake. A TASA team surfaced to the surface of the artificial lake and landed in an attempt to intercept them.
Hell, how many ambushes did they lay down?
"Master, leave the cover to me!"
"Hmm. ”
Again heavy gunfire, this time from the woods. G41's attack killed two TASAs in one fell swoop, and their logos quickly disappeared from Patrick's heads-up display, while the other TASAs immediately lay down and hidden.
Patrick burrows into the woods and joins G41. After he put down Lunicia, he quickly reloaded his rifle and prepared to fight back.
At this moment, the entire ecological park shook for a moment, followed by an ominous sound.
Was it an explosion...... Zvado wants to blow it up.
"Aren't you alright?"
"Almost!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ecological park began to collapse. TASA immediately collapsed, and they fled to the exit with all their might.
The sound of the explosion was getting closer, and clusters of fire rose one after another, debris continued to fall to the surface of the lake, and the trees burned.
Patrick holds down G41 and Lunicia and falls to the ground.
"Invasion complete! Cut off the jammer!"
He immediately grabbed the teleporter from the backpack behind him and activated it before the flames consumed them.
The three disappeared into a purple flash.
