Chapter.30 Masquerade: Damn ......
"You have shown me your courage, strength, wisdom and leadership, and you are undoubtedly excellent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but what attracts me the most is something else, an ethereal thing that many people ignore or don't believe. Luck. βFrom a voice recorder recovered from Area S08
Litreby
08th Squad of the Seventh Army of the SG United Front
Private "Mask"
"Please leave me alone, Captain. β
Bullets are still flying around the battlefield. Team 08 is trapped in the Arc de Triomphe in the atrium, and enemy troops are pouring in from that damned Zesta, encircling them in the trees. Temporarily blinded by the previous lightning, Haven's teammates blindfolded him and placed him under a tree.
"Don't be stupid, Haven, the Seventh Legion won't leave any of its comrades behind. Shirley said, picking up Haven's M249 and strafing the enemy.
"No...... You must get out of here, or you will die with me. β
"Shut up, big black," Harry scolded, "you son of a bitch, don't say you can't die anymore." β
The masquerade focused on shooting and didn't say anything. He didn't want to die here just like that. Sometimes when you fight until the last moment, you don't know how heroic you are, you just don't want to die. On the other hand, he is nothing more than a coward who is afraid of death.
"The last round!" Harry shouted.
Kamen touched his waist, and he didn't have much ammunition.
"Hold on to me, even if you pick up stones and throw them, don't give up!"
Damn, ran out of luck......
Kamen throws the last smoke grenade out and replaces it with a new magazine, ready to rush out and fight to the death.
"Wait, Masquerade!" Shirley stopped him. Something made a loud noise in the smoke, and Kamen looked up to see Griffin's helicopter overhead.
"Are you all right?" M1 Garland jumped out of the helicopter.
"Well, it's a good thing to see you, Garland. β
"Whew~ I'm glad I caught up," Garland let out a sigh of relief.
"Harry, masked face, get Haven into the helicopter," Shirley commanded, turning to face Garland, "Haven is a little injured and needs to rest. He will ask you. β
"No problem, the helicopter will take him to safety. β
"What about you?"
"I'll act with you. Garland said and saluted Shirley.
Zeusta unleashed a dazzling electric light again, and the Kamen forces were wiped out again.
"This is Maxweis, Team 08," the Commander's tone was much colder, "I'm sorry to tell you that you're the only hope for the Seventh Legion." β
"Huh, again?" Harry watched as the helicopter left.
"Yes, sir," Shirley said, still respectfully, "give the order." β
"Of course, Captain Shirley," McWeis cleared his throat, "I want you to tear down that tower. β
"What? This can't be...... No, no, no, we're fine, absolutely. β
Mask agrees with Harry, but he thinks they have to.
"Yes, sir," Shirley decided to take on the task, "please take command." β
"It has been observed that the interval between the launches of Zeusta is about thirty minutes, and it is inferred that the time to recharge is at least ten minutes......"
"So we have eight minutes left to get to the bottom of Zeusa. β
Kamen looks in the direction of Zeusta, where the bridge filled with abandoned cars as shelter is the only way for them to reach the enemy's ultimate weapon. Eight minutes to pass there, the probability is almost zero.
"That's right, soldier, let's act. β
"Go up, go up, go full speed!"
The 08 squad sprinted with all their might, and the troops on the bridge were already ready for the assault and lined up in formation.
"The hoplites are at one o'clock!" shouted Shirley, firing wildly at the enemy with her light machine gun. Kamen takes the opportunity to get close to the enemy, fighting and running, and annihilating them one by one.
Without time, they can't even take care of their own personal safety.
A hoplite took aim at Harry, forcing his way through a hail of bullets. Bullets struck the charred wreckage of the car, sparks bursting out. Harry hid behind the wreckage. In desperation, he killed the infantry with a precise sniper shot.
"Thanks, Griffin's humanoid. β
Climbing over a wall of scrapped cars, he launched a charge in the face of the enemy's second line of defense. He prayed for enemy bullets to pass him, praying that the barrage above his head would hold the enemy down. Harry was on his left, and they split into two lines to disperse the enemy's fire. Garland lies on his stomach behind an abandoned car, sniping at enemy snipers.
Pull the trigger to move forward, hide under cover and change bullets. Kamen's head is blank, and it seems that only the spinal cord is needed to complete the above actions. Halfway through them, and five minutes had passed, the surging charges could already be seen at the top of Zeusta.
"Alert machine gun!" shouted Shirley.
The Kamen lowers the center of gravity to ensure that the machine gun does not hit itself. Time passed minute by minute, and his heart was extremely anxious. Forcing himself to calm down, the mask makes a risky move.
He slammed out of cover and ran towards Harry's position, the machine gun locking on to him, a volley of bullets clutching at the back of the mask. Just as the machine gun was about to hit the mask, he hid behind cover with a sliding shovel.
"What do you want to do? man. β
Instead of answering directly, Kamen used his hands to move the wreckage of the car. Harry immediately understood, helped him lift the wreckage at a forty-five-degree angle, and pushed the wreckage forward. The sound of the steel plate penetrating made Kamen break out in a cold sweat, and in the next second, he was likely to die.
Shirley shoots her bow left and right, fending off enemies who try to bypass cover and attack them. Team 08 arrives at the alert machine gun in a few moments, and Shirley drops a grenade to clear the way.
"Team 08, Zeusta has entered the launch preparation stage, and immediately left the bridge. McWeiss said.
Ignoring the fierce counterattack of the enemy's defensive line, the masked man rushed to the end of the bridge like a madman, smashing a soldier with the butt of his gun. He opened fire mechanically, passed through a triumphal arch, and finally came under Zeusta.
Lightning struck the bridge and destroyed it directly.
"Oh my God...... I can't imagine if we were still on the bridge......"
"Sir, we have reached Zeusta, please instruct us on our next move. β
"Roger, Team 08," McWeiss said, "there are shaped coils and complex circuits in the middle of Zesta. I need you guys to go out there and change the circuit a bit and overload Zeusta and self-destruct. β
It's jumping into a coffin. Masquerade thought.
Shirley still chose to faithfully carry out McWeis's orders. She herself took the lead as a pioneer and led Team 08 to climb Zeusta layer by layer.
Kamen grabs the enemy, drops them off Zeusta, and jumps over the railing. The electricity in the transparent pipe was shocking, and he suspected that if he pulled the wire, the entire team would be electrocuted.
"Z-12 into X-07, X-07 into S-13, and finally Y-30 and Y-19 reversed. β
Following McWeis's instructions, Kamen quickly completed the modification of the circuit. Zeusta's electromagnetic transmitter emits an eerie sound, and electric sparks burst out of the wires.
"Zeusta is about to explode, we have to get out of here!" Shirley said.
Kamen puts away his gun and pulls on the rope of the parachute with both hands.
"But, Garland......"
"Don't worry about me," Garland smiled, "I'll be back to base." β
"Okay......" Harry glanced at her, reluctantly jumped off the tower and pulled the parachute, and Shirley quickly jumped out as well.
"I'm sorry......" Kamen said, and after a long time, he felt that he sounded a lot older, "I'm really sorry." β
Garland smiled at him.
She understood.
Kamen leaps forward, and the current spreads out behind him, and the coil explodes due to overload, cutting off the entire tower.
They succeeded again, another miracle. They survived by luck until now.
It's just that Kamen doesn't know, he doesn't know if he'll smile like that when the moment of fate finally comes.
