Chapter 16: The Rescue of Huston
This pulse rifle is actually not easy to use for the average soldier in this world, because this gun is too heavy, more than ten kilograms, not everyone can carry it, once this gun is carried, most of the soldiers will move greatly faster, and the mobility becomes very poor.
It is only Morrison, a soldier who has undergone a biotransformation program, that has enough strength to move with this gun as if he were flying.
Although Su Yun's strength is not long now, he still has 26 points of strength, plus he can use telekinesis to help him hold the heavy gun body, so this gun is not very heavy on him, and it will not drag down his movement, and with this gun, he will not stand behind and do nothing when fighting.
After he had finished choosing his weapon, Sakura had also chosen his own.
She actually found a pair of steel armor like Reinhardt's in the stack of weapons, and it was also a woman's, pink, and it seemed to match her perfectly.
Reinhardt's eyes widened when he saw Sakura put on this armor.
Sakura glared at Reinhardt and asked, "What?" Can't I wear this? ”
"This ......," Reinhardt scratched his head and smiled a little awkwardly, "it was designed by old Tobion for her daughter, well, for Brigitta to be exact, but Brigitta is now studying mechs at the university, and this armor is sitting idle here for the time being." ”
Reinhardt went on to explain, "It just so happens that Tobion has been looking for someone to test the armor he designed for his daughter, and the average girl doesn't have the strength to bear this armor, and if you are willing to wear this armor, I think old Tobion will be very happy." ”
Of course, Su Yun had heard of Tobiang, a well-known mecha master, in the field of mechas, Tobiong can be said to be the top in the world, he was born as a core member of the Iron Armor Guild, and he is responsible for the maintenance and development of mecha for almost everyone in Overwatch now.
He can be said to be the strong technical backing of the entire Overwatch mecha field.
Sakura tried to rejuvenate her arm and muttered, "It's pretty well designed, it fits me perfectly." ”
After the two of them selected their equipment and received their own identification, Reinhardt had already turned on the aircraft and waited for the two of them to board.
The aircraft of this era have developed to a high level of technology, and they are made of anti-gravity principles, and they are very agile to fly, not as bulky as old airplanes.
As soon as the three of them boarded the plane, the plane started up at a rapid pace and flew towards the sky.
On the plane, Reinhardt took out a document and said, "Let me briefly introduce the destination of our operation, the Harston area. ”
"This area was originally a thriving industrial center, and the world's eighth intelligent center was located in this area, and later the intelligent machine crisis broke out, and the intelligent center here became the core of the war for the intelligent machine to launch an attack on humanity."
"After the battle some time ago, this part of the area has been basically controlled by humans, and the intelligence center in the Harston area has also been destroyed by the human army, but recently the intelligence machine has suddenly become active again, and a group of scientists investigating here have been besieged in the city."
"Our mission is to rescue a total of three important scientists and protect them from the Harston area, and based on what we know, the robots are not aware of the existence of these three scientists, and we need to act before the robots know about this."
Su Yun and Sakura had a general understanding of the information of this Harston area, and they already had a topographical map of the city, although they couldn't remember it clearly, but at least they left another impression in their minds, and scanned a copy and put it into the Doomsday Emblem for easy viewing later.
By the time their plane landed in the Harston area, the sun was already setting below the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the city on the verge of shattering.
The destruction of the city by intelligent machines can be seen everywhere here, with collapsed houses, broken high-rise buildings, potholed roads, and thick smoke everywhere, it is clear at a glance that this is a war-torn land, and only the towering buildings in the center of the city can vaguely reflect the prosperity of this area.
In the twilight, the city of Harston emitted a little light, perhaps the light of fire, or the light of night when it came.
Although the area has fallen under the attack of the Intelligence, the unwilling people still make the last stubborn resistance in the city, and engage in street battles with the Intelligence, defending their homes until the last moment.
Everywhere in the city, you can hear the faint sound of gunshots, explosions, and some sporadic screams and cries, which make people feel uneasy, as if infected by the pessimism of the city.
Su Yun jumped off the plane with a heavy pulse rifle.
Jumping off with him were Reinhardt and Sakura, who were in full armor.
The vehicle that received them flew off into the distance under Reinhardt's remote control, preventing it from being spotted and downed by the patrolling intelligence.
In the distance, the city of Harston in the distance emitted billowing smoke, the air was slightly moist, and the ground was also a little damp, as if a light rain had just fallen.
The air was also filled with the smell of sulfur after the bomb exploded, and there was some inexplicable, somewhat pungent smell, which was the smell of modern warfare, a smell of destruction and destruction.
Reinhardt looked at the map, then pointed to the buildings in the distance, and said, "The man we are going to rescue is in the Harston Center Research Institute, about five blocks from here. ”
"I don't know how many guards have intelligence equipment along the way, I think we may need to take a step by step and make a roundabout way to try not to be discovered by the intelligence equipment, otherwise when we come out with the hostages, we may encounter a huge threat, it doesn't matter how many of us are fully armed, but the hostages will be in danger."
Su Yun thought for a while and said, "You mean, we enter the research institute in the dark, don't alarm any enemies, and then bring the hostages out as quickly as possible?" ”
"No, my idea is that I'll go to the city and cause a little chaos first, and then the two of you will be responsible for taking the hostages and rescuing them if the enemy's fire is attracted." Reinhardt spoke his mind.
Su Yun and Sakura both expressed acceptance.
Reinhardt took out a glowing instrument and said, "This is a locator designed by Winston, which can quickly know each other's positions, and when we are separated, let's use this to locate each other's positions."
Su Yun and Sakura each took over a locator.
Su Yun said to Reinhardt: "Stay safe! Just attract a little firepower, don't get bogged down. ”
Reinhardt laughed and said: "Don't worry, newcomer, my life is very hard, and it is not so easy to be defeated, you just need to protect yourself, if you go back with one or two less, it will be my dereliction of duty." ”
Looking at Reinhardt's figure going away alone, Su Yun turned to Sakura and said, "We can't be left behind, let's go quickly." ”
The three of them split into two groups and cut into the city from two directions.
Gradually, the night enveloped the place, and thick smoke and dark clouds covered the sky of the city, and there were no stars or even the moon in sight.
Sakura temporarily put the armor on her body into the Doomsday Emblem, and Su Yun temporarily put away the pulse rifle and began to travel lightly.
They use a temporary storage space for their storage equipment, and the space is limited, so they can only cancel the quality of the items, and use them as temporary storage, and the contents cannot be taken out of this world.
A few blocks away was really not too far for them, and the two of them just ran through the streets at a moderate pace, and quickly arrived near the location of the action.
On the way, they only encountered some small obstacles, such as a few smart machines patrolling between blocks, in order not to cause a sensation, the two of them tried to choose a detour to escape from the patrol area of these smart machines, if they fought in this kind of place, maybe the smart machines would put the nearby neighborhoods under martial law.
When they arrived at the Harston Institute, they realized that things were not so simple.
Outside the research institute, you can see a few black-clothed people hiding around and watching, although they think they are well hidden, but in front of contractors like Su Yun and Sakura, who have a perception beyond ordinary people, this kind of hiding is like standing on the street and shouting "I'm here".
These people are obviously not the same as Overwatch, they must have come here for some other purpose.
After counting carefully, Su Yun found that there were at least a dozen of these people, and there might be more hidden inside the research institute, or they had not been discovered.
Su Yun gestured to Sakura and motioned to infiltrate the research institute first.
They took out a night robe from the coat of arms and put it on, and under the cover of the night, they skillfully bypassed the guards, with a perceptual suppression, which was not very difficult to do.
The walls of the research institute may seem too high for the average person to climb, but for contractors who are already dozens of points agile, crossing such a wall is as easy as stepping over the threshold.
There are only three buildings in the Institute, and these are clearly stated in the documents provided by Overwatch.
The first building is the main library and conference room, where researchers consult materials or hold meetings, the second building is a large experimental base for conducting experiments, and the third building is a canteen and accommodation place.
After infiltrating the research institute, they came to a relatively empty backyard, where a few trees were planted, and it seemed to be a medicinal field, where they were doing some kind of biological research.
The three scientists are currently trapped in the third building.
As far as the eye can see, the first building has been bombed into ruins, I don't know if it was done by the intelligence machine or the people besieging here, the second building was affected by the explosion, and it was also partially destroyed, and only the third building was intact.
Looking up, on this third building, many rooms can faintly see the lights shining, presumably someone is still trapped inside.
Downstairs in the third building, there were more than a dozen people guarding, everyone standing in the open with loaded guns, this is not the patrol range of the intelligent machine, so there is no need for them to hide themselves.
