Chapter 101: Landing on the West Bank (5)
"The enemy's power supply is restored, the control system of the grid is not accessed, and unfortunately, I will stop there. Axia said.
"The attack is ineffective! Haast's whole army obeys the order! When the general attack begins, we must stop the enemy's yang electron cannon at all costs!"
At all costs, it is better to say that there are two more shots of the yang electronic cannon, and everything is over.
Frost thought as he fought back against the Confederate forces besieging them. An atmosphere of fear was revealed in the communication channel, and Luo Lian's comrades-in-arms scrambled to rush to the enemy lines, and the exchange of fire between the two sides was more intense than ever. The Luo Lian troops were bound to stop the launch of the Yang Electron Cannon, and the Southern Union would definitely die if they did not hold their positions, and the two sides fought each other with their own determination.
"Axia, we just need to cut off all the circuits connected to the Yang Electron Cannon, right?" said Yunakin, "Frost!
"It's useless, it's too late," replied Exia, "and when I cut off the power just now, the positive electron cannon was not yet charged, and it was still in the preparation stage to check the circuit. It is estimated that the yang electron cannon will start to charge after five minutes, and by the time we cut off the circuit, the charge of the yang electron cannon will be at least 70 percent, and even a 70 percent charged shelling will be enough to cause a devastating blow. Our troops can no longer afford heavy losses, and as long as this cannon is fired, we will definitely be defeated. ”
"It's tricky...... In other words, do we have to abort the firing procedure of the electron cannon before it is fired?"
"That's right. ”
"But how can we pass through the force field shield that even experimental weapons can't penetrate? ”
"Rest assured, the force field shield of the Yang Electron Cannon is only for long-range strikes, and it has not yet been refined to the point of physical isolation, and the soldiers of the land forces can drill through the 'gap' under the turret. ”
"I see," said Yunakin, "this dilemma of a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in the back is really annoying. ”
"Master Chief, I kindly remind you that Delta Squad can apply for a collapse teleport out of here, Haast is very dangerous now, and the estimated survival rate of the battle is very small. ”
"No, I would never do that. ”
"If you're worried about the morale of the army, I can keep it a secret for you. ”
"No, Axia, we're going to crush Nanlian, even if I want to give my life. But when I died, I was buried with at least two Nanlian crumbs, and you remember it for me. ”
"I see," Exia seemed silent for a moment, "please I didn't say anything before." ”
Yunakin sighed, he and Frost had almost repelled the enemy, and it was almost time to move.
"Even though we're not leaving, we still have to go back to camp. There is not much fuel for ammunition and thrusters, let's go, Frost. ”
Ten minutes later, they were back to their positions for resupply, busy logisticians coming and going on the cracked ground, and the wounded were constantly being brought back, including the ATEF recruits who had relied on the improvised GS-91 to save their lives. The troops withdrawn from the front line were resupplied directly at the intersection, and the wounded could only be moved into roadside fast food restaurants for emergency treatment, and they were soon "full".
Frost sat on top of an empty crate, he didn't want to stay in a place full of disinfectant, and it didn't mean that the smell of gunpowder was better. The exoskeleton has been removed, and the limbs that have lost their auxiliary support have become as heavy as lead, after all, it is still worth paying a price for a long time to operate beyond the limits of the human body.
He was grateful for the moment of tranquility that allowed him to relax in the purgatory-like battlefield, albeit for a fleeting moment. His mind gradually emptied, and when he raised his head to look at the blue sky above him, he felt uneasy in his heart.
How many of AAX-08's were driven by artificial ligands? Frost didn't know, but he knew one of them, and that was enough. He didn't have any real sense of the human life that was lost in that moment, maybe he was subconsciously fleeing from the fact. But the cold data will always show all this at the end, and the death of a human being will be calculated in terms of the number of casualties, and the death of an artificial ligand will only be a loss plus quantity.
And in Frost's eyes, the dead human life is the sum of the two, and at that momentary thought, the first thing that rings in his mind is such a huge unknown number. At this moment, he had to look at himself, maybe he should believe his first thoughts, but the use of artificial ligands as tools and consumables is already common knowledge of the entire Federation of Luo Lian. The impact of the contradiction between common sense and intuition makes Frost doubt himself, because ordinary people will take common sense as a matter of course, laugh at themselves for how they can have such thoughts, and immediately deny it.
But he didn't, he hesitated, hesitated. Why is this so?" Frost asked himself.
Did she change herself? changed the common sense that the cause was rooted?
Probably...... Aren't they like chicks who have never seen an eagle? It had always been the idea of someone else, and when he saw Wendy's true face, he was really shocked. Then he realized that he could not see artificial ligands as just an object, and he kept running away, ignoring his own ideas that were contrary to common sense, but he thought about it again and again.
Because he found that if this was the reality, as a human being, a citizen of Luolian, the identity he put on his body was a crime.
Isn't this the complete opposite? The people below are persecuting the people below, Mother, what the hell am I ......
"What's the matter? Frost, your face isn't very good," Unakin said, "what are you doing stupidly with compressed biscuits? Hey." ”
Frost then took a bite of half of the dry biscuit, and then poured a large mouthful of water.
Damn it...... He didn't know anything at all, just caught in the war between Luo Lian and Nanlian, an inconspicuous soldier. He couldn't do anything the whole time, just like his peers who thought the same way as him but did something completely different, choosing to ignore everything.
Then at least let him atone for his sins as much as he can, he will at least face his own thoughts in his heart, even if he is the only one who thinks so, even if he will be the enemy of Luo Lian.
"Frost, get ready to hit the road. Yunakin shouted at him.
He put his mask and goggles back on and walked to equip the exoskeleton.
"Master Chief Unakin, I just found a signal of a wreckage," Axia said, "from Wendy's AAX-08. ”
"So, our team dodged that damn positive electron cannon and might still be alive?"
"There is a possibility, but it ...... over time"
Frost listened silently, having already made up his mind.
"It's not important, what matters at the moment is the positive electron cannon, and we have to stop firing. Yunakin said.
"Yes, Master Chief, then the target is set to ......"
"But without Frost's help, I wouldn't have been able to handle that big guy on my own. Unakin turned to Frost, "You want to save her, don't you? Even if it's just you, even though she's probably dead." ”
Frost nodded slowly.
"That's fine, but you know, it's not my own volition to help you, Frost. This is your willfulness and persistence, I can only act according to the method of maximum success rate, and the yang electron cannon is always the most important target. ”
The limbs are inserted into the exoskeleton and are tightly locked in fixed positions.
"You have to take responsibility, Frost. ”
