S09 District Boundary Yellowstone Ridge

AR Squad

M4A1 self-disciplined tactical girl humanoid

The icy rain drenched the long hair and slid down the cheeks. Unable to feel the temperature, and the muscles did not tremble, the order pulled the girl back to reality from her contemplation.

"Let's act, the commander has given a new mission. M4A1 said, taking a step forward.

"I'm really looking for something, obviously we don't have to participate in the Rubik's Cube operation to take a holiday, but Iron Blood is attacking at this time. M4SOPMODII started to tickle.

"Now is not the time to complain, SOPII, this iron-blooded offensive is unprecedented in scale, and the consequences are unimaginable if it is not stopped. M16A1 PASSED BY SOPII, FOLLOWED BY M4.

"Well, what can the three of us do?"

"Our mission is only to reconnoitre, and when we really stop the Iron Blood, we guess there will be reinforcements. ”

"However, aren't all the human figures except us on a mission? either participating in the Rubik's Cube operation or running logistics ......?"

"Trust the judgement of the commander, SOPII. ”

"Okay......"

M16 and SOPII stopped talking, and M4 could no longer hear anything around them except for the sound of a thunderstorm. Almost every 100 meters, a team of grenadiers with Stephen's mechanical dogs patrol the mountain roads, and the AR team has basically no chance to sneak in from the normal roads, so they can only take the slippery and muddy slopes to get around the guards.

Every arming is marked. Never before has the M4 taken on such a tedious task. It takes an hour to climb the entire Yellowstone Ridge, which is a bit too difficult for a strong man.

"M4, be careful!"

Following the direction of M16's one-eyed gaze, M4 saw a formation of three flying machines wandering through the woods, presumably to check for enemies hiding in the woods.

Waiting for the flight formation to leave, the AR team continues to a waterfall.

"Look across the street, there's a light!" SOPII POINTED ACROSS THE RIVER.

"PLEASE, SOPII, THERE'S LIGHT EVERYWHERE HERE. ”

"Wait, sister 16," M4 said, looking at the light source through the sight, "it looks like a cave, we should check it out." ”

"But how are we going to get there? are we going to swim over?"

That's to the point. On a dark night with thunderstorms, swimming in the rushing water is tantamount to death. What's more, they are located upstream, and there is a possibility of falling down the waterfall if they are not careful.

At the moment, there are no bridges or vehicles to wade across the river, and it seems that there is only one way to swim.

"Stab 02-1 calls the reconnaissance team. A muffled voice came from the communicator. It's clear that it's not the commander.

"Roger. ”

"Find an iron-blooded mech. ”

"What?" M4 suspects he's misheard.

"Find an iron-blooded mech. The man on the other end of the communicator repeated.

It's like jumping into a fire pit!

"Who are you?"

"You don't have to know. Now go find an iron-blooded mech, and in a moment Thorn 02-3 will be connected to the channel and instruct you on your next move. ”

The M4 was confused. She had no idea if the people she was communicating with could be trusted. The Commander did mention that someone would come to their aid, but she didn't expect someone else to direct the operation.

"M4?" M16 gave him an inquiring look.

The M4 clenched his grip.

"Trust him. ”

"But he's not the Commander!" said SOPII, who seemed to be completely unable to trust the voice in the communicator.

"I'm sure that's the commander's decision......" M4 himself panicked as he said this.

"SOPII, if you can't trust him, trust M4's judgment. ”

"ALAS?......" SOPII QUIETED DOWN.

The AR team walked upstream along the riverbank, stepping on rain-soaked granite and tree roots to the side of the road with a relatively open view. Iron-blooded patrols are still impermeable, and rash actions are likely to reveal their whereabouts.

"Thorn 02-1 said to be looking for a mech, isn't there?" M16 said. At one o'clock in the direction of the AR team, three iron-blooded mechs are parked in the old parking lot. Although they are in standby, their enemy-seeking function is still functioning.

"AR Team calls Command for instructions on what to do next. ”

"This is Thorn 02-3, and you'll need to quickly cross the road, into the bushes around the parking lot, and go around the back of the mech. ”

"Kids?" M16 asked in a low voice.

M4 skews his shoulders to show that he is not clear.

After confirming that the patrol team on the road could not see them for the time being, the AR team quickly crossed the road, slowed down as much as possible, and sneaked into the bushes not far behind the mech. The sensors on the mech turned to their side, and M4 couldn't help but tense.

"Alright, they're probably suspicious, so point your guns at their sensors. Be careful not to fire. ”

The AR team followed the instructions of Stabbing 02-3 and aimed at the iron-blooded mech. After five minutes of silence, the iron-blooded mech seemed to turn off and back on for a moment, and the lights on the mech's instruments came back on. With three muffled sounds, the bulletproof glass in front of the mecha opened.

"Alright, let's go inside. I'll take care of the driving, and they'll take you across the river." ”

"I've never heard of an iron-blooded mech that has the ability to carry people. M16 whispered.

"This is the original iron-blooded design, these mechs turned out to be rescue machines, forcibly breaking in to save people, and the hatch was used to house the trapped people. The communicator explained.

And now, they're just cold-blooded killing machines. M4 couldn't help but feel a hint of sadness in his heart. She stepped into the interior of the iron-blooded mech in two steps, and sat down in the cramped cabin, the door slowly shut.

The mecha staggered down the road, countless patrols passed by, and from time to time iron-blooded figures would cast strange glances, but they were still not suspicious. An alloy bridge that is incompatible with the scenic spot appears in the field of vision, and there are iron and blood coming and going on the bridge. Looking at Iron Blood up close through the dark glass, M4's heart was full of tension and uneasiness, as well as a sense of freshness.

The entrance to the cave is getting closer and closer, and the natural rock wall is filled with guiding lights that extend into the depths. The mech stopped not far from the entrance of the cave, and the rest of the road had to be on foot.

SOPII AND M16 WENT BEHIND THE TWO GUARDS AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE CAVE, STABBED THEM WITH DAGGERS, AND DRAGGED THE BODIES INTO THE BUSHES. M4 held the rifle in her hand and cautiously cleared the way in front, and the iron-blooded humanoid she bumped into died at the muzzle of her gun.

Further down, the cavern showed no signs of getting smaller, and the dilapidated path showed signs of being widened. The AR team walked around the metal pavement for a while, and finally got a clear view of the inside of the cavern: an open-air pit plunged vertically into the ground, a platform made of metal plates and stairs swirling deep into the ground, and numerous supports and indicators seemed to mark a vertical path. Almost every platform at the corner of the staircase is guarded by an echelon of iron-blooded humanoids, and the chances of the AR team forcing their way in and infiltrating are nil.

"The AR team called the headquarters, our reconnaissance operation may be about to be suspended, the enemy's defense is too tight, we can't ......"

"Shhhhhh

M4, hiding behind the rocks, listened carefully, and the sound of high heels hitting metal plates reached her ears. Someone is coming up the stairs. She secretly looked out, and a girl in a plain white dress gradually came into view, holding a cane in both hands with white gloves, and the black lace edges on the edge of the dress all reflected the elegant temperament of the girl.

And the masked woman next to the girl, the AR team is very familiar. Scarecrow, after receiving the reinforcement, she returned to the battlefield.

"See, I'm not using a ban weapon~ You should trust me this time, right?" The girl turned her back to the AR team, revealing her waist-high white hair and butterfly-winged device.

"I've been instructed to see you capture S09 without using weapons of mass contamination in order to lift your surveillance. The scarecrow replied coldly.

"Ah~It's really boring~" The girl pouted, "You're really a loyal lackey of the agent~ She will do whatever she wants...... Well, if you like it, you can go down and watch it enough. ”

The scarecrow bowed in gratitude.

"Again, it's just a big EMP!"

"EMP?" M4 asked

"It's an electromagnetic pulse device, a weapon used to destroy electronic equipment, and it generally doesn't affect tactical humanoids. If the strength and range are large enough, it can paralyze the entire electronic equipment in S09 area. Thorn 02-3 explained.

M4 was about to say something, only to see a blazing ray cut through the rock where they were hiding. She raised her gun and prepared to fight, only to find that all around her were iron-blooded humanoids, and in the middle was the white-haired girl.

"Hi ~ Griffin rats, welcome to the Yellowstone Ridge Secret Branch~"
