Chapter 100: The West Bank Landing Battle (4)
"D3, D3, please reply if you receive it. Unakin called Wendy, but the communicator didn't receive anything.
They were still exchanging fire with the Southern Union troops, but they didn't go any further, and the recruits asked the captain of their squad aloud why they hadn't retreated.
What's the use of retreating now? If the Southern Union abandons the city, they can evaporate with the whole city, and they will not be able to escape at all.
There was no doubt that the battery had begun to recharge, and perhaps it would be a chance to take it before the enemy could open fire.
"This is the 'Sky Thunder', and I propose to use the test weapon to strike at the enemy's large particle beam weapon, which has already locked onto the target, waiting for the order to fire. β
Did the captain of the battleship contact Rear Admiral Jeno directly...... The experimental weapon on the ship was the same long-range artillery bombardment that Frost had previously invoked, and it was very likely that it would destroy the enemy's turrets with a direct hit.
"You guys are on standby for now," General Jeno quickly replied, "we need to make sure that destroying the enemy's large particle beam weapons will not cause massive secondary damage, and the front-line troops cannot afford such a large loss." β
β...... Understand. The captain of the thunder seemed to hold his breath before agreeing.
"General, I have an idea. Axia said.
"What is it? Artificial intelligence. β
"To the southeast of Team Delta, 1.2 kilometers away, there's a relay station in the city, so I might be able to get information on the other side's weapons if I go there. β
"Hmph-" Jeno dragged out his voice, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I'm sure my immediate subordinates are always ready, and they'll get you in." β
"Of course, sir. Unakin said, and the general immediately cut through the communication, "Frost, we have to do something for the AI next." β
"If you don't have anything to dislike, just bring it up. β
"Not at all. β
The two ended the conversation without a hint of emotion, and by the time Frost came to his senses, they were already moving between the rooftops. The air above is still warm from the high-energy particle beams, and jumping into the air is like jumping into a heath, which is strangely unsettling in this cold winter.
Finger pulls the trigger, and the enemy seen in the scope spews a cloud of red mist and falls, and they seem to return to their previous state of action, as if the amazing scene just now had not happened. Frost's mind gradually cleared up, he would not forget the moment when the death ray swept across the sky, he estimated that he would never forget the many lives that disappeared in an instant. It's just that they can't pay too much attention to it, no matter what happens, the war continues, and sitting still and thinking about the soul-shaking calamity will only hasten their own death.
They had to put these things aside for a while and keep crossing the obstacles to have a glimmer of hope of survival.
"We're here," Mr. Yunakin said, "and we're in enemy control, so we'd better keep a low profile." β
Frost quietly looked outside, and it was true that there were enemies all around, and several squads could be seen in the relay station, and it seemed that the power in the city was quite important to them.
"It's not the best, it's the need to keep a low profile. "If my guess is correct, you'll need to find a new set of relays without being detected, and there should be electronics in the vicinity that specialize in these special relays." β
"Tsk, that's a real problem," Unakin said unhappily, "but we also brought special test weapons......
Frost pulls out another pistol from the holster on the left, which is what Younakin calls the test weapon, tentatively named "Spiral" by the researchers. He had a rough idea of the effect of the spiral, this particular pistol could only be loaded with one bullet at a time, and of course the ammunition it used was also very special, the bullet was not an ordinary metal, but a translucent orange crystal. It may look like a cute fruit candy, but the consequences of being hit by this thing are anything but sweet.
At the beginning of the operation, the two first turned on the optical camouflage, and the hook that launched the exoskeleton flew to the roof of the relay station. There were two sentries on the roof, but there was no need to shoot. Frost and Yunakin were each in charge of an enemy, swinging their daggers and stabbing their respective targets in the throats. Bringing down the enemies who stopped struggling, they came to the pyramid-shaped skylight and smashed the not-so-strong lock with the butt of their rifle. The hook rope hung onto the edge of the skylight, and Frost lowered it down into the relay station, silently landing onto the mat made of insulation.
Frost raised his gun, and the Chief Nurse landed successfully, and a large bundle of wires abruptly opened a hole in the floor, and then connected to the wall at twelve o'clock, and ran through the other end.
"If there's a special relay, it's right next door," Mr. Yunakin said, "and the circuit is pretty suspicious." β
"A voltage that exceeds the dangerous value by several times is detected, and it is recommended not to approach the group of circuits. β
"I'm not going to go over, hey......"
As Younakin spoke, two enemy guards turned in through the doorway, and Frost and Younakin hid behind the deactivated instruments, waiting for the enemy to get close enough to be sure.
Frost counted the guard's steps, three, two, one......
The two of them suddenly turned out of their hiding place, holding the gun in their right hand on their left hand, and raised the gun with their left hand against their right hand, and the crosshair was aimed at the enemy in front of them. The two guards were in a state of panic, raising their rifles in instinctive self-defense, but Frost and Unakin pulled the trigger first, the muzzle of the pistol emitting a strange orange glow, and a sound that sounded like a drum that had not been tightened. In just an instant, the guard hit by the bullet directly turned into ashes, and the speed of transformation was probably measured in milliseconds, and then the pile of ashes spread out into the air with the spiral air flow formed by the bullet, spreading and disappearing.
The chamber of the gun was split from the middle, and half of the ejected cartridge casings inexplicably turned into glass. What a terrible weapon it was, Frost didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't have the mood to think about how he could turn people to ashes. He shoved a bullet into the chamber of the gun, closed it again, and followed Yunakin's footsteps with the gun.
They walked out of the room into the hallway, and immediately turned right into the surveillance room that Exia had estimated, where there were many black cabinets, arranged in rows, like coffins standing up. Passing through these coffins, Frost observed three Southern Union soldiers facing the glass in front of them, one of them with his hands on his laptop on the table, his eyes presumably glued to the screen, saying something to the communicator in a language he did not understand.
"Three people, okay, let's touch it and solve it with melee. β
FrΓ₯s nodded in response.
They walked over with a light step, and Frost gradually read the parameters on the computer screen, which he couldn't read. Behind the glass was a bunch of machines he had never seen before, and he could only point to what he saw in words like cylindrical cubes. From time to time, those machines emit lightning bolts, which is intimidating.
Frost saw the guard on his left press the communicator, slowing down a little and arching himself a little harder to the ground. After receiving the communication, the guard slowly turned around. He jerked forward, raised his pistol and fired at his target. The other two were taken aback, and the guard on the right was beaten to ashes by Unakin as soon as he turned his gaze to Frost.
The sapper in control of the notebook jumped from his position and turned to draw his pistol, while Frost smashed the ashes of his enemies into pieces, and the dagger in his left hand twisted nimbly with his fingertips, stabbing his target hard.
"Safe," Yunakin said, "Aixia, can you hack in?"
"Frost has already sent me in while you were talking. Axia made a sound on her laptop.
"Okay, let's get out. β
Frost and Unakin returned the same way, and when they reached the roof of the relay station, Axia cut off the power and the sound of the machinery stopped.
"That's fine. β
"Okay, you're just powering this place, aren't you?" asked Yunakin.
"Not only that, but other power transmission pipelines have also stopped sending power to enemy turrets. The turret of the Southern Union is actually a positive electronic cannon, which sends electricity to almost the entire city and passes through it...... In the device treatment using the remnant technology, the flow of positive electrons is highly concentrated, and a particle beam is formed, which is released at one time. Therefore, as long as the circuit is cut off and the internal device of the positive electron cannon stops accumulating, there is no danger of causing a large-scale explosion. β
"So, can we just blow it up now?" said Yunakin, ignoring what Axia had hiddenβeven what they didn't understand.
"Theoretically, it's just that the equipment of optical camouflage should be an external device to operate......"
Before Exia could finish speaking, the experimental weapon on board the Sky Thunder ship pierced the sky and stabbed straight at the Sunny Electron Cannon. At the moment of contact, an orange glow formed a sphere to obscure the turret, and after tens of seconds, the wind blowing from the direction of the explosion blew through Frost's mask.
No, Frost saw very well that the spear falling from the sky did not really touch the turret itself.
"Really...... "Yunakin muttered.
The sphere dissolved as the energy dissipated, and under the little glowing particles, a blue barrier was revealed, and the positive electron cannon under the barrier was unharmed.
"Actually...... Force Field Shield ......"
