"I know what I'm doing, and I know exactly what the consequences of doing this are..."

Brand looked at the storm that had come again, this mysterious cyclone had not stopped since last fall, and had been hovering over the ocean, and now, it was back, lightning and thunder, just like the day the United Empire came to Earth, there was a pilot who tried to stop humanity's self-destruction plan from happening, but finally had to compromise with the Empire, which was exchanged for a short period of peace for more than ten years now...

"If I were you, would I have made it this far?" Brand sighed uneasily, he knew that if this decision could not be made immediately, then this calm, which had lasted for more than ten years, would tear off its long-standing camouflage and spread its sharp fangs against humans, the Empire has always been so cruel.

Brand picked up the phone and said to the person on the other end who had been waiting for a long time, "Tonight... There will be something big going on in New York, so keep an eye out for it. ”

April 29, 16:11 p.m

A medium-sized box truck full of goods drove from remote Philadelphia to Newark, New York, pedestrians on the deserted streets were hurrying by, not daring to stop nearby, the Combine watch force in the distance was lining up around the central castle to patrol the neighborhood, as if to see the tense situation here, the truck turned around, came to a subway entrance more than a dozen streets away, and after stopping the two drivers who jumped down from it, looked around for a moment, and saw that there were not many people staying in this vicinity, one person walked to the back of the car and opened the door lock, A team of heavily armed mercenaries jumped out of the carriage with a hula, and then quickly slipped into the subway entrance to avoid being discovered, and a few more people came out of the carriage, they carried oil drums one by one, and were sent to the subway in turns, the two looked at the group of guys, and glanced at one of the people in a green bulletproof vest, and then quickly closed the carriage and climbed into the car, turned around and drove away.

"Captain!" A mercenary next to him took out a black masked turban, covered his face, and said to the guy while chattering, "It should be all here, right?" Isn't it time to contact the people from the second and third teams and ask them to drive the car? ”

"Let's get these buckets down first!" The leader of the captain waved his hand, everyone carried the guns behind them, and then slowly moved down the stairs with these oil drums, and after a while, an empty subway drove over, and stopped steadily in front of the platform where the group of people were, the captain waved his hand, and everyone quickly pushed these oil drums into the carriage, closed the door, and a phone suddenly rang, "Who's?" The captain asked them with an iron face.

A middle-aged veteran raised his hand, he glared at this person with an ugly face, and the latter hurriedly hung up the phone, but the captain waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's call, I'll give all of you ten minutes to call, and say goodbye to your family... I'm afraid, it's a journey with no return... I don't want this to be a lifelong regret for you, it's not an honor, but someone has to do it, for the sake of our family, and for the sake of the Federation, tonight, fight to the death! ”

The Combine strengthened the vigilance and patrols of all the main traffic routes, and countless Civil Guards stood nervously near the main streets, carefully checking the pedestrians, and some of the hidden information that had been collected was immediately sent to the office desk of the Commander-in-Chief of the Civil Guard, where Femirik, who was sitting meticulously checking the source of the secret report, raised his head and shouted at the door in distraught: "Come in!"

"Sir, what do you command?" A colonel stood nervously in front of him, Femiric slapped the table, bit his lip with his teeth, and slowly squeezed out a few words: "Lieutenant General Morris is to block all airports in New York, including private airports, and all incoming planes must be inspected and must not leave, and if there are violators, all will be detained!"

"Yes!" The colonel walked away quickly, Femiric casually picked up the mobile phone on the table, swiped the screen to dial the number, and then said to the person on the other end: "I'm Femirik, notify the Defense Command!" Tell them to send soldiers at once, ready to take over New York for traffic control! I need time to check all potential threats, there's something big going on tonight, don't forget to get them ready for a meeting, release the news immediately, don't think about being alone, one by one thieves want to dump the pot, no one wants to run away if something happens! ”

Pan Yilong wore a dirty shirt and came to the streets of Newark, looking at it, the streets were full of people from the National Guard, who were conducting extremely detailed investigations of pedestrians on the streets, he frowned, turned around and walked towards a nearby unmanned supermarket, here, he saw a smart terminal that was still working, and the dazzling item interface on it made Pan Yilong twitch in his heart.

"Let's see if there is any good equipment..."He thought to himself, clicked on the weapon interface, and was greeted by the column of self-defense tools, all kinds of cold weapons such as long knives and short swords, Pan Yilong flipped around twice, and came to the firearms column, "It's good to have an H240 ripper, the whole one can be killed directly from this side of the street to the central castle across the street..." Browning M2? Damn, forget about the heavy machine gun, it's heavier than a ripper, forget it, lava behemoth? What the hell is this? Three-shot fully automatic shotgun... Three barrels also fired a salvo! Still fully automatic? Fifty-four rounds of drumming? Damn, what kind of monster is this? HK Black Kolekoch? Damn, how did the Germans learn from the M people? Clean up all these bells and whistles..."

"Are you done choosing?" The demon girl appeared beside him again, looking at Pan Yilong's pick-and-turn with some irritation, the latter shook his head, and said to her seriously: "You don't understand, you haven't experienced the joy of shopping, you have money in your pocket, you have to buy everything you want to buy in one go, so you can feel comfortable... Is there anything you're looking for? I'm paying~"

"I don't like these things~" She flashed to the side, and disappeared into the darkness again, Pan Yilong shook his head, took out the cash card he searched from a certain unlucky ghost and inserted it, and then called up the fingerprint to unlock, took out a thin piece of plastic oiled paper from his finger and pressed it on the fingerprint key, of course, the paper was the oil handprint of the guy who printed it, he gently forced, and the cash card was unlocked, of course, Pan Yilong's unauthorized face was also photographed by the monitoring above the terminal, Then a team of Civil Guards, who had received the alarm, quickly rushed to this side.

Pan Yilong also sped up, one by one long spears and short cannons appeared on the teleportation disk inside the terminal, he hurriedly took it out, looked at the exoskeleton on his body, the ring belt around his waist is a miniaturized intelligent quantum backpack, which can quantize all items and absorb them into it for storage, which is also a black technology researched by Hayami Zongyi, which is similar to portal technology, but it can't store living things, even things like fresh plants, Pan Yilong could only pray that this thing would not cause any irreversible damage to his equipment, otherwise he would have worked for nothing.

"He's there!" The soldiers of the Civil Guard rushed over, Pan Yilong looked at the guys who were getting closer and closer, the smart backpack could only absorb one piece of equipment at a time, and touch the item through the transformer in the palm of the palm for quantization, and the item turned into a white light and quickly disappeared between the palms, so the efficiency was quite slow;

Pan Yilong was also anxious, looking at the four spears on the ground, two shotguns and two assault rifles, he hurriedly grabbed two rifles, turned around and fired two shots at this group of guys, both of which hit the street lamp above their heads, this is a warning and a threat, so without waiting for their next reaction, Pan Yilong grabbed the remaining guns and quickly put them on his back, manipulated the jet to catapult and take off directly from the door of the store, and shot two strong ropes in his hand, which disappeared from the floor in an instant like a swing, Only a group of unlucky children who were still standing in place and still looking confused were left, secretly scolding unlucky...

"Do you know where he is?" The woman and he were both standing at the top of a building, and the cold wind on the seashore was blowing more violently on her body, Pan Yilong shook her head and came behind her against the wind, "What the hell is going on, didn't Bill Crawn give you an artifact?" And you also took it back, and when you took it, you didn't notice anything wrong? ”

"He dropped the bag..."The demon girl shook her head, "It's not that I'm here, but a guy from the Divine Domain came to take it, she didn't notice anything wrong, think about it, it's also this human who has done something, he shouldn't know how to use the heart of the universe to do things, right?" ”

"It's hard to say..."Pan Yilong shuddered, "I was beaten up by this old guy before I was caught, that old thing doesn't look like a person now, just like you, raising your hand is a mountain and the ground, I'm like a fucking monkey, I don't have any tricks at all, come to think of it, this should be the power that the heart of the universe brought to him, right?" ”

"Hmph, carving insect skills, dare to get an axe in front of me!" She glanced back at Pan Yilong and said to him in an undeniable tone: "You have to go to him, and then snatch this thing back..."

"Grab it back? , I'm going to let him be a monkey! Pan Yilong pouted dissatisfiedly, "The gun can't hit him, don't you see how good this old thing is, damn it, just stand on that sea, beckoning... The boat capsized, and the tsunami followed, and I finally climbed ashore, and asked this old man to give me a good hammer, damn, I'll let him beat him again! Don't go, don't go. ”

"The knife in your hand is not for you to use as an ornament!" She reached out and grabbed her wrist, and the strong force made Pan Yilong scream

"So what? Do you want me to take a knife and cut him? Why don't you let me take a gun and storm the Combine castle!" I TM have a psychological shadow on this old thing! ”

"Are you scared? Then why are you still here? Keep saying that you are looking for him for revenge? ”

Pan Yilong fell at her feet, grabbed her cloak weakly, and said slowly: "I... Find an excuse to hide... Do you have an opinion? ”

"Huh~" A combined F16E swept through the air not far away, she let go of Pan Yilong, looking at him shaking his hand was extremely funny, the corners of her mouth raised slightly and said to him: "You are responsible for snatching the heart of the universe back, and I'll deal with the rest..."

"You're so powerful, why do you have to rely on me to help deal with Crowne?" Pan Yilong muttered unhappily, she reached out and stroked the hair on her sideburns, and said to him helplessly: "What is standing in front of you now is just an extremely weak energy body, due to the blockade of space, the real body cannot leave the main space, and it is impossible to come here, and the connection between you and me can only rely on the Krollo hanging around your neck, and you are on the verge of death many times, and you are about to consume this trace of my strength, sorry, for you, it is obviously unrealistic for you to let you fight for the artifact alone."

"You still apologize..."Pan Yilong smiled, "This is really the first time that a big girl has been in a sedan chair..."

"What do you mean?" She squinted her eyes and looked at Pan Yilong with a somewhat unkind expression, who hurriedly waved her hand to divert the topic, "Since you have said so, what are you going to do?" Blowing yourself up with this bit of power? Blow up that old thing? ”

"Of course not! He is protected by the power of the stars of the heart of the universe, and if he doesn't blow himself up, he will be devoured, and my body will be hurt..."

"That's the end of the calf, this can't do that, I just take a knife and go to the Coalition's castle to kill the councilor..."

"Hmph, I'm afraid that the strength of the Coalition Councilor is not worse than the rat generation who now holds the artifact plus protection... You're going to daydream. She unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on Pan Yilong, Pan Yilong sat on the ground in frustration, sighed and said: "Of course I can't do these things so stupidly, I just can't think of any other way to take away the artifact, he is a monster now!"

"When the time comes, you can borrow my body for use...", a strange smile appeared on the enchantress's face, "What? ”

"There are three unauthorized subways that are passing through the underground line in Newark and heading east towards the city center, and there are no civilians on board, who is driving?"

In the hall of the New York Central Police Department, countless bigwigs from various military departments are anxiously waiting for the arrival of an important person, the commander of the armored core unit of the Combine Army holds a hat in one hand, and holds the waist of a female soldier in a tight combat uniform in the other, not caring about the tense atmosphere around her, and constantly harassing her sensitive parts up and down with his hands, the local officer who was waiting next to him was a little impatient when he saw this unbearable scene, and couldn't help but want to step forward to stop him, but after seeing his rank and seniority badge, It turned out that he was the second highest general after Femirek among these people! Then the officers turned around stupidly, and continued to endure the rot of this unsightly fellow, secretly cursing in their hearts that he would die in the belly of these women sooner or later!

"The Commander-in-Chief of the Civil Guard has arrived!"

A well-dressed Civil Guard appeared at the door, with a guy in a black uniform in the middle, and he immediately attracted everyone's attention;

"It's finally here..."The general of the core force smiled, showed a pair of yellow teeth, pushed away the female soldiers beside him, and greeted him with a smile

"Lieutenant General Morris, you shouldn't bring your chic sexual pleasure to me, I'm annoyed tonight!" Femiric mercilessly gave this guy a slap in front of everyone, no matter how ugly this guy's face was, and hurried to the No. 1 war room in the police station with a group of officers;

The two policemen turned on the projector, and the whiteboard showed the current 220,000 monitoring channels in New York, all the monitoring systems were online, and some places that could not be monitored were also monitored by the National Guard and the armored core force, so at this moment, in all corners and underground places in New York, anything that happened would be reported to this command room at the first time, Femiric sat at the front, looking at the officers and sergeants who gradually sat down with a blue face, and finally couldn't help but say to them first:

"Tonight, we received a dark tip, we found the artifact, including the current owner, Bill Cloun, who is lurking in a corner of New York City, ready to surprise us and the Empire tonight... It's a terrifying gift package that will definitely make the top of the empire explode in an instant! ”

"Mazefak—" the crowd took a deep breath, "Rick, is the source of this news reliable?" Sitting next to him was a three-star lieutenant general of the native army, who looked eagerly at Femirik, who gritted his teeth and squeezed this passage out of his mouth:

"Really, he escaped from Clounn's pursuit, and then, under the protection of my people, avoided Clounn's eyes, this person can testify for us, Cloune is preparing a big killing weapon, and now he is using the artifact of the Empire, I don't know what he is going to do for the time being, however, now that his people are found to be driving the subway trying to enter the center of New York City, I think, Cloune's plan should be somewhere on Manhattan Island."

"Then we should stop the train now, and then go all out to investigate Manhattan, how long will we be talking about in this?" The general of the core army who had been scolded by Femiric before jumped out directly to find his stubble, Femiric ignored him, but continued to speak: "Now everything that should be investigated has been investigated, and everything that should be blocked has been blocked, except for these three subways, we have never found any other information about Crawn, as if he disappeared out of thin air with these secrets!"

"Hmph... ! Can this living person make himself disappear by himself? The latter shook his head disdainfully, "It seems that some people's methods are just like that, they have no ability, they have to be here to support a tough guy if they have their teeth knocked out, and when something happens to you, you will look good, and you will immediately soften into a mess of snot!" ”

"Maurice... You..."Several old officers beside him also shook their heads speechlessly, they were not qualified to talk to this guy, so they could only shake their heads on the spot and didn't dare to say anything, Femiric pouted on it, and after laughing a few times disdainfully, he reached out and clicked a few important monitors on the computer, and then projected them on the whiteboard for everyone to see...

"There are artifact fluctuations!" She suddenly turned her head to look at a certain place in the city, Pan Yilong followed her and stood up and looked there, but the naked eye saw nothing

"Come with me!" As she spoke, the demon girl grabbed his arm and almost dragged him downstairs, Pan Yilong hurriedly hugged her thigh from behind, and cold sweat flowed down her face instantly...

The demon girl frowned, because she was attracted by the energy of the artifact, she couldn't care about Pan Yilong so presumptuous at the moment, a beautiful print appeared in front of her at the moment, and disappeared with Pan Yilong in a blink of an eye, and the next moment, the two appeared on an underground railroad track at the same time, Pan Yilong sat on the railroad track, a burst of numb electricity suddenly came from his buttocks, and he jumped up with a snort, and then a speeding subway in the distance hit the dazzling lights, and the whistle quickly crashed here, Pan Yilong instantly lost his voice and screamed...

"Boom!" The invisible energy exploded in the dark tunnel, like a sharp spear, tearing it directly from the head of the carriage, inertia propelled the train forward, and then was ruthlessly cut by this blade, and the entire subway was cut in half, like a roasted sausage, and finally scattered on both sides of the tunnel, including some torn human limbs, blood mixed with these fragments.

Pan Yilong leaned over and looked at the chest of one of them, the standard bulletproof vest also had a specially customized tactical pocket on it, and there were two M4 straight-curved magazines pinned to it, all of which only the army has the ability to buy so completely, in this country, it was divided into two, and the right to speak was not in his own hands, who would have such a large amount of money to arm such a force, and send them to New York to die so at such a cost? Crowne? Will he have the strength and courage to do so?

"There's no inside! We were fooled! After searching for the wreckage of the train, the demon girl returned here, Pan Yilong looked at her eager face, and couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't there another place to go?" There's nothing like that. ”

"Those... Things, it's getting closer and closer to Earth...", she looked back at herself with an ugly face, "I must bring it back, otherwise, once the Combine finds a gap, they will not let go of this opportunity to invade my dimension!" I can't stand it. ”

"Let's go, don't talk about it..."Pan Yilong flashed his spear, "If what you said is true, then the next will be the day of extinction of our earth, although I don't like the empire, but at the time of survival, I have so many friends who are still waiting for me to save it, I won't just walk away, I have finally ignited my ambition in this life, and I want to do a vigorous job, but I can't give up halfway like this, here, just do my best to fight once." ”
