Chapter 6: Assault

Griffin is a security company.

Although it does the work of a mercenary, it is indeed a security company.

The registration is legal, the work is regular, and it is subject to the supervision and audit of the state, and the tax amount can be called a model in the industry.

In a company like this, the power in the hands is actually quite subtle - take heavy weapons as an example, and if you want to say that there is no heavy equipment in the southeast branch, it is impossible. But if you want to say that you are well equipped, it is even more impossible.

So when he was attacked suddenly, Klute was very uncertain.

But no matter how bottomless he is, he will not despair.

"Damn it!"

At the first time of the attack, Klute was still in the lounge watching a movie and resting - Klute was resting mentally, while Alice was resting physically.

The long and boring firefight sequence puts the eldest lady into a light sleep. To put it simply, it is the classic performance of students who have never passed mathematics in high mathematics class.

The violent shock and roar directly overturned the LCD TV, accompanied by a crisp sound, so that the plastic shell of the TV shattered to the ground.

Klut was distressed, and his whole old face twitched.

Alice, on the side, was directly awakened by the roar, she looked at the 'puddle of TV' on the ground with a confused expression, and then looked at Kluet, who seemed to be vomiting blood, and didn't know what to say for a while.

What's wrong? What just happened?

She was tempted to ask, but look at the look on Kluet's face...... She thought it would be better not to ask.

"PPK!

Fortunately, Klut is not an idiot, although he is distressed to death about the TV, but the current situation is obviously very dangerous.

He got up from the couch and connected the PPK line with a second roar.

[It's an attack]

"Where's the situation?"

[All external cameras are offline, and the radar system does not respond]

Is it double stealth? or is it ultra-long-range shelling?

The answer is so obvious that it doesn't need to be thought about at all.

"Prepare for battle, activate all wingman humanoids and anti-penetration devices. ”

【Understand】

Then, the only thing to do next is to fight.

The enemy is about to attack, and there is only one target. Whether it's for Griffin's honor or simply survival, every second that follows will matter.

“590。 ”

"Understood. ”

There was no need for too many orders, and every member of the Southeast Division knew their responsibilities very well.

Except for Alice Kaguya, who has a good mentality but is only a civilian after all, the soldiers collectively known as the 'Peacemakers' have long been prepared for the current situation.

PPK launched the built-in command module, establishing a link with Kluth. By implanting a chip on Klute's scalp, which fits snugly to his skull, the two established a two-way chain of command.

The reason why he only connects to PPK, rather than communicating with each child individually, is because Klut has limited mental power - as a standard human, Klut has undergone many biological modifications, but his brain still appears ordinary. Not only can he not model the battlefield accurately like a humanoid and accurately construct a battlefield model, but just establishing a link with PPK and exchanging battlefield information is already his limit. As for coordinating the positions of other children, planning actions, and setting goals, Kluett has no choice but to leave it to PPK to carry out.

"Can you confirm the direction of the attack?"

[The Eastern Sector has been invaded, and the enemy has entered from the southern part of the first floor - the roof has also been invaded, and the helicopter platform has been lost]

"Quantity. ”

[Ten were confirmed before the destruction of the monitors, and the follow-up troops are presumed to be more than three times,]

"Equipment situation. ”

[Assault equipment, confirmed optical camouflage device]

“……”

What is assault gear?

To put it bluntly, it is the close-quarters equipment that broke into the fortifications, carbines, shotguns, heavy body armor, offensive grenades, and all kinds of messy props.

Previously, when rescuing Alice, Team Parallelists used these assault equipment. And now, finally, it's their turn to take the attack and be a defender.

"Mark Alice Kaguya as an important hostage and carry out protection procedures. ”

【Understand】

One wingman after another starts from hibernation. As doppelgangers of the body, these heavily armed girls kicked open the 'coffins' where they were hiding and got up from the static cabins.

Without any words or incentives, they automatically formed under the control of the command node and began to attack.

It was just a split second, and the battle became extremely fierce.

Due to the early preparations, the resistance of the South-Eastern Division was beyond the imagination of the enemy.

The brutal battle begins in the hallway on the first floor, with sacrifices taking every step forward. The humanoid girls who emerged from the defense node resisted by the room, while the attackers used heavy armor to clear the way, allowing the power-armored soldiers to rush forward.

Whether attacking or defending, the soldiers on both sides are automatonoids. Except for the difference in models and weapons, the shooting on both sides is so efficient that it is terrifying.

Speeding steel-core bullets bounced and screeched down the hallway, sparks mixed with fragments of limbs.

One second, a heavy foot had just been shot through the mask, and the next, a griffin figure had its arm broken.

The scene was very bloody, and the casualties were very rapid.

Both sides, both in human form, have a lethal efficiency that modern warfare should not have, and under the control of these automatic weapons, the hit rate of bullets exceeds 70 percent.

There was no cry, no cry of pain.

Without committing to the ontology, the humanoids are mere weapons. A ppk-shaped girl braved a hail of bullets to charge, allowing steel to shave off her left arm - a conical rifle bullet pierced her bionic skin and tumbled into the musculature, creating an extremely terrifying dilated wound in an instant, taking away a large amount of gum as it detached from her body.

If it were a human, this damage would be enough to make the difference. The shot shot at the base of the left arm, although it only grazed the bone, was already disabled.

Even the toughest tough guys will collapse from the excruciating pain—the strong and chaotic signals will ruffle their nervous systems, and even if they can endure it, they will not be able to escape their physical defects.

But the human form is different, and the human form does not hurt.

Even with the destruction of the left arm, the wingman of the PPK ran forward. Her movements caught the attention of the enemy in an instant, and as they were unsure of the level of threat of the PPK, the two enemy figures immediately reversed their firepower.

They were two automatic rifles from the AK series, and to this day, they are still known for their power and reliability.

In one second, the two automatic rifles made twelve hits, and at one hundred percent accuracy, four bursts shredded the body of the PPK.

The girl fell to the ground like a torn rag doll, and pale red artificial blood flowed all over the ground. A few sparks of electricity burst out of her wounds—but they were extinguished in an instant, as if her life was short.

She didn't fire a single shot, just attracting firepower - but her sacrifice was clearly not in vain.

At the same time that she attracted firepower, two IWS2000 dodged from behind the hiding bunker and fired a rapid-fire fire with the help of the shooting elements shared from the PPK.

Powerful 15.2mm rounds can't protect even the highest levels of ballistic armor – even if you're at the peak of individual protection, they're still meaningless against bullets that can penetrate even armored vehicles.

Holding the shield, the two figures in armor were pierced in an instant. Their deaths were worse than the PPK's, as the overpowered warhead not only killed them, but also dug two large holes in their chests and heads - one of them lost his chest cavity and his heart was blasted out of his body along with his spine. The other lost his head, and above the neck, there was nothing left where the bullet flew.

The two overpowered bullets even hurt another enemy behind them.

The bullet, which rotated and slowed down due to the continuous penetration of multiple layers of media, hit the humanoid bulletproof shield like a giant hammer, causing her to fall straight backwards, revealing a huge flaw.

This flaw was undoubtedly fatal, and although the IWS retracted from cover after firing, the PKP, who performed the fire cover, did not miss this opportunity.

Compared to ordinary humanoids, PKP that has been specially adjusted for head-to-head firefights has stronger 'protective ability', and taking advantage of this flaw, the silver-haired girl directly turned the muzzle of the gun and beat her into a sieve.

Although multiple bullets pierced the M590's front-line protection and penetrated her body at the same time, PKP was undaunted and continued to pour ammunition with his strong damage management ability.

However, no matter how strong the damage management ability is, there is a limit.

PKP can continue to fight despite losing muscle – because she has a fluid pump on her skeletal system.

PKP can continue to fight without a heart - because a humanoid heart is a battery, and PKP also comes with an additional battery.

But when a bullet hit PKP's eye socket and destroyed her eyes and brain, the strong and daring humanoid girl fell down in an instant and stopped all thinking.

【Insufficient Troops】

The gap in forces is too big, and so is the gap in equipment.

Even with desperate resistance, the attacking troops advanced at a terrible pace. A heavily armored humanoid charged forward stomping on the corpses of both sides, and his attitude of completely disregarding sacrifice caused a tremendous amount of pressure on the girls of the Southeast Branch—a physical one.

In this way, the first floor was quickly lost in a tragic firefight. Although the battle damage ratio was superior to Griffin's side, it could not stop the opponent's advance. The humanoid girls did not fight and retreat, but all died in the same place, but even so, in just a few minutes, the attack was easy to advance to the stairs leading to the second floor.

In order to buy time, the isolation door set up at the staircase has been automatically lowered.

The same is true of the top floor, which fell even earlier than the first floor due to the open terrain, and the staircase leading to the roof was locked by a fence after the destruction of the limited garrison figures.

But none of these measures lasted long – in front of the cutter, the steel fence could be breached in just a few minutes.

But fortunately, Griffin doesn't need much time either.

Although the first floor and the top floor were lost, with the time the girls had gained, Klut and Alice had moved to the second floor of the base.

Unlike the first floor, which is easy to penetrate, the second floor of the Griffin is much stronger. Each window here is fitted with a high-strength alloy fence and is equipped with emergency baffles that slide down at the first moment of an attack, and made of high-strength polymers that not only block the enemy's view, but also withstand close-range fire from medium-caliber weapons.

"PPK, debriefing. ”

[Yes, the first floor has been lost, but we have gathered enough strength on the second floor. In view of the enemy's heavy equipment, I have tilted the main computing resources towards IWS. 】

"Over to you. ”

【Yes】

The battle did not stop for even a second, and while 590 took Alice away, Klute arrived at the munitions depot located on the second floor. In this small warehouse clad in metal, the old man began to arm himself.

His spark armor sits in the center of the warehouse, fixed to a metal rack like a knight's armor.

The front half of the armor was 'blooming' because it was in a state of being dressed, and the sturdy armor plates were opening up on all sides, leaving room for a humanoid.

Without hesitation, Klut lay inside, letting the armor wrap itself. With the establishment of the physical link, the management personality of the power armor has also begun to go online and standby.

[Hello, Kluet]

"Hello Alice"

Because it was an indoor operation, neither 20mm guns nor mortars came in handy. Although the enemy used heavy armor, the penetration of heavy machine guns was more than enough.

The only thing to worry about is Kluter's size - unlike the usual power armor, Kluter's pyrotechnic power armor is a veritable heavy armor suit. It does not increase the user's power, but rather resembles a vehicle.

"Heavy machine guns. ”

【As you wish】

With the command given, the weapons storage cabinets mounted on both sides began to operate automatically. Two robotic arms protrude from the storage slot and begin to install the weapon with the help of a door crane.

A heavy ammunition backpack, a shoulder-mounted swivel mount, and the all-important weapon itself – a 12.7mm caliber high-caliber heavy machine gun.

The bolts are tightened by the robotic arm, and the pieces of bamboo shoots are tightly fastened.

"Is the number proven?"

[There is no way, the enemy also used humanoid troops, and it is impossible to confirm the margin of humanoids]

Is it so troublesome?

Klute frowned and continued to order.

"Deal with the enemy on the top floor first, you all go, and I'll defend on the first floor. ”

【…… Understand, your will]

The kids are fighting.

As a father, you can't fall behind.

On the helmet reality screen, the self-test content is changing from red to green. When the progress bar below the field of vision finally rose to 100%, Klut immediately got up and broke free from the shackles of the maintenance rack.

【It's going to break】

"That's something you should think about if you survive. ”

The Iron Giant strode forward, the concrete floor of the Giant Foot Mill, supported by the hydraulic system, creaking.

"Come on, the show is on. ”
