S05 "Red Flame in Ice" Headquarters

The Survivor Alliance's 2nd Special Independent Action Squad

Sergeant Patrick Flo

"Master!G41 is worried to death!" As soon as he got off the plane, G41 threw himself into Patrick's arms, "It's a person who breaks into the ruins or something, you can't do this next time!"

"It's a special situation, and it's not that dangerous to go it alone. Patrick replied, gently stroking G41's head with his hand.

"Really, are you listening...... G41's voice gradually quieted, "cunning...... Touching your head and sending people away......"

Looking at G41's intoxicated expression, Patrick probably understood what it was like to be comfortable with God. His hand kept touching his head, and he looked up at the headquarters, which was red and white with snow and lights.

Patrick didn't understand what was happening, the entire command was dyed in festive colors with red paper, lanterns, and potted plants, and there was a slightly pompous atmosphere in the air, at least to Patrick's understanding, the environment in front of him was out of place for him.

"Welcome to S05, no, I think it's better to welcome home, Patrick. ”

The commander, who was still in good spirits, greeted him personally. I don't know if it's his own delusion, he feels that the weak man in front of him is thinner than before.

"Did it surprise you?" haha," the commander laughed, "Spring Festival, you know? Coincidentally, you just came back from China." ”

Patrick nodded, confused. He'd never heard of the Chinese New Year.

"I collected materials as much as I could, but I didn't expect to create this scene, should I say that those big kids have too much energy......

"You're not that big. ”

"Don't worry, hahaha......" the commander chuckled embarrassedly, "Well, the most lively time has passed, but who knows that this festival will last for days." ”

"But it looks like fun...... I said, master, let's go and see if we're going to see it, okay?"

G41 pointed to the place where the figures gathered, which had become a bustling bazaar that was rarely seen today.

"I don't care, you can be as happy as you want. Patrick replied.

"I'm sorry, G41, but your master still has an important meeting," the commander half-squatted down and touched G41, "If you can, you can go to play with your sisters first, and then let your master play with you when you're done." ”

"Eh, are you coming again?" G41 was a little disappointed, "Alright, you must come, master, Commander." ”

Watching G41 join the humanoid ranks, the Commander and Patrick continued to walk towards the command center.

"Meeting?"

"Well, the general is here too," the commander's expression became much more serious, "and you'll know the details in a moment." ”

Five minutes later, Patrick and the Commander arrived in the conference room of the S05 Sector Command Center. As soon as he entered, Patrick felt a heavier atmosphere than before.

Glina, the logistics officer, poured tea for everyone present, and then exited the conference room in fear, closing the door gently.

In the seat facing the main entrance of the conference room, General Ramias crossed his fingers on the bridge of his nose. This was Patrick's first meeting with the General since Audrey's death, and he wondered if the General was still grieving.

To the left and to the right of Ramias, the Commander and Carlyle Armstrong sat next to each other. The rest—madness, Jane Stewart, Acting Officer Hellian's image, and Patrick himself—sat haphazardly in various parts of the room.

"Are you all there?" General Ramias lowered his hand and glanced at the conference room, breaking the silence first.

"Yes, General," said the commander, "the men are here. ”

"I see, it's almost time, so let's get started. ”

The general took the cigar cigarette from his mouth and pressed it out in the ashtray.

"In light of the McWeiss incident, first I want to explain what I've been fighting for all these years. "I'm sure all of you here are people you can trust and understand what I'm saying." ”

He paused, then continued.

"The Survivor League has no future. ”

It's amazing. However, Patrick, as if he had known this fact for a long time, agreed with the general rather than could refute it.

"From the beginning, there was no future for the Survivor Alliance. Unfortunately, all I said about getting the Coalition to get into the safe zone was just a lie. ”

"That...... Daddy, actually, we haven't watched your speech once......" said madly, and Jane rolled her eyes fiercely.

"The Survivors' Alliance is essentially a group of a small number of survivors who have come together to escape the disasters caused by the collapse fluid leak and the persecution of the Revolutionary Union. You have lived in it for many years, and you can feel more or less that this is really just a group that has come together to survive, and the bonds that hold people together are fragile. After entering the security zone, I am afraid that the United Nations will coerce and induce the whole group to disintegrate. In other words, once in the safe zone, the UN could easily kill all of us, and Griffin, I don't think it's possible to rescue at all. ”

"Yes," said Hellian at once, "from the point of view of interests and capabilities, it is impossible to do and will not be done." ”

"From the point of view of the United Nations," the commander further analyzed, "they would not be willing to afford a sudden increase in population, let alone from a contaminated area, and entering the safe zone would mean bringing the possibility of an E.I.L.D. (wide-area low-radiation infection) outbreak into it." ”

"No wonder you have to be sneaky every time you come to your base, and go through a series of troublesome cleaning procedures. Madness spoke again.

"It's true that even the scientists responsible for the research on cleaning up the pollution cannot guarantee that E.I.L.D. will not explode again. They are just using a lot of data to develop items that deal with contamination. And the 'purification' they refer to is not the same as 'purification', after all, there are still too many secrets of the collapse liquid waiting to be discovered. ”

So the people in the polluted area have been living in lies, beautiful lies.

"Wait a minute," Patrick said suddenly, "what if we occupy the safe zone?"

"If the Survivor Coalition takes over the safe zone," Ramias said, "it will only end up with the Coalition occupying the safe zone, and humanity will eventually perish." ”

The word perdition is somewhat shocking.

"Why?"

"As I said, the Survivors' Union is just a group of people who are going to survive, and it has no economy or culture at all, and the form of political existence can be almost ignored. The chances of such a group ruling the world are slim to none, let alone what it will look like. ”

Society fell apart, and human beings were divided into individuals because of their own interests, and finally gradually perished in extreme circumstances. That's what Patrick can see.

Therefore, the people in the polluted area have been dead since the day the incident broke out on Beilan Island.

"That's the reality, and what we're doing now is just what we need to do for the sake of the continuation of the race, for the sake of the remaining living. ”

With that, Ramias closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and remained silent for a while.

"Next, we will relaunch a full-scale offensive against the United States. Griffin has already worked out countermeasures, and our military has adopted the plan. The only thing missing right now is your most critical part. ”

The general gestured to the commander, who nodded slightly in response and stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the 2nd Special Formation, Acting Officer Helian, Your Excellency General, I apologize in advance, and I apologize for the temporary recall of Team 404 because there is an important operation that requires their help. This operation is the second time that our United Front has launched an offensive against the Revolutionary Union, and most of the strongholds of the Rerov Front have been reoccupied by the Revolutionary Union, so the situation is not optimistic. ”

As he spoke, the commander released a hologram of the Ryrov front on the conference table.

"The last attack on the Ryrov front was a head-to-head battle with every unit of the enemy, and the attrition on both sides was very serious, and it took a long time for our side to bear fruit. This time, I was in charge of the production, and the plan overseen by Acting Governor Hellian would be in a very different way. First, humanoid units hired by other PMCs (Private Security Contractors) will launch a feint attack on the entire front, during which time members of Task Force 2 will attack the focus of the operation. ”

The commander zooms in on one of the locations of the hologram. It was the stronghold at the center of the entire front, the Brody Fortress.

"According to the reconnaissance intelligence of Team 404 before it was recalled, the Revolutionary Union deployed new weapons in the Brody Fortress to ensure that the fortress was impregnable. In order to defend against the enemy, I will mobilize two squads to assist you in the battle: a strong attack team composed of a new type of humanoid produced by I.O.P., and a support team dedicated to battlefield support. The assault team will first travel to the location of the operation in a land vehicle, while the support team will be airborne to the vicinity of the base in a transport plane with you. The two squads will cover you from the attack of the new weapons of the Revolutionary Alliance, and you will destroy the new weapons when the enemy uses them, and generally use roundabout tactics to break down the enemy's defenses one by one, and finally achieve the goal of occupying the stronghold, and above!"

With that, the commander saluted everyone present and sat back in his place.

At the end of the meeting, everyone dispersed.

As he stepped out of the conference room, Patrick felt someone grab his shoulder. He looked back and saw that it was General Ramias.

"Patrick, you only get one chance. The general smiled fatherly for the first time in a long time, "This is the last time I will ask you." ”

"Yes!"
