077 Rescue

"Tell me, how are you going to save people?"

Edward had agreed to join forces with the Osiris to rescue the hostages, but he could not think of a way to defeat the HER while ensuring the safety of the hostages.

"Didn't you think about why the HER people insisted that you go to them tomorrow at noon to exchange hostages? It's still early tomorrow at noon. Anton asked.

"What do you mean?"

"They're waiting for reinforcements! The hostage-taker is just a HER team, and they can't contain you at all, and they're waiting for their reinforcements to arrive tomorrow at noon. ”

"How do you know?"

"That's the advantage of having a lot of people, someone is in charge of combat, someone is in charge of reconnaissance, and one person's ability is limited. We need to attack them as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to save the hostages when reinforcements arrive. Anton punched in the palm of his hand.

Edward shook his head: "No, no, no, even if there are few people in the HER, as long as they find the movement of the humanoid weapon, the hostages are still in danger!" ”

Anton smiled and said, "Who said that you want to use humanoid weapons to save people?" ”

Anton led Edward out of the Church of Grace and opened the door of the armored car parked at the door, which was filled with heavily loaded soldiers.

"They are all original Star Alliance soldiers, and for a long time we didn't have humanoid weapons, so we could only rely on the methods of the past."

With that, Anton suddenly pushed Edward into the car. Edward subconsciously wanted to hide, but was dragged in by several big men.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're the one who attacked the Osiris this morning? It's a big boldness, little ghost! Our armored vehicles are huge, come in and talk! ”

The car was full of muscular men, and there was no place to stay, and the short Edward was afraid that he would be squeezed into bean paste if he was pulled in. Edward struggled, "Let go of me!" What do you guys mean by that!? Want revenge? ”

Anton grabbed the car door and said: "In addition to this armored car, there is also a truck, and to save people, it is necessary to let two cars sneak into Staten Island without being detected by the enemy." This requires someone who knows New York City very well to be a guide, and you are the only one who wants to come and go. ”

"And what are you doing?"

"I'm going to drive the 'Hundred Steps' to prepare on the other side, in case the enemy finds out that you have activated the humanoid weapon, I am a good sniper, and your No. 3 machine can't shoot that far."

After Anton finished speaking, he smiled evilly, and while slowly closing the door of the armored car, he said to the strong men in the car: "Brothers, treat our guests well!" ”

"Hey, hey, Sergeant Hei, don't worry, we'll love him well."

Edward looked frightened and tried to crawl out, but was pulled back by the strong men.

An hour later, Sergeant Anton, who was ambushed in the wreckage of Fort Hamilton, the closest to Staten Island in Brooklyn, was signaled to be rescued by the hostages. He looked at his watch and made sure that the armored car had been on the bridge back to Brooklyn, so he sniped at the Eagle Flyer on Staten Island, which was not hidden by the HER.

The sleeping HER soldiers heard the explosion and woke up to find that their humanoid weapon had pierced a gap. They ran to check on the hostages, only to find that they were long gone, and that the soldiers in charge of the guards had all been killed silently.

The trucks carrying the hostages sped towards Brooklyn, and the soldiers sat behind the armored vehicles. Seeing Sergeant Anton launch a sniper, the soldiers cheered.

"Rejoice! It's been a long time since I've fought with HER like this! We, the ordinary soldiers, have finally come in handy. ”

Edward was so squeezed by the brawny men that he muttered, "Bastard... I'll get revenge..."

Trucks and armored vehicles raced all the way to the Harlem neighborhood on Manhattan Island, far enough from Staten Island. As soon as the refugees, who had been hostages for the night, got out of the car and saw the crew of the Osiris preparing a meal, they were moved to tears, they had not eaten a normal meal for a long time.

"Hey little ghost, good performance, eat some!."

A soldier handed Edward a plate of hot food, and Edward was not polite enough to take it and eat it. He spent the whole night trying to save the hostages, and he didn't bother to eat, and he was really hungry

“… Thank you. Edward muttered quietly as he ate.

"Huh? What do you say, it's so quiet I didn't hear it. The soldier leaned his ear over and told Edward to say it again. Edward was shy and scolded: "I said you bastards should die!" ”

"Hahahaha, this kid is still a tsundere!"

The soldiers and refugees laughed, and Edward turned around in embarrassment, pulling the food into his mouth.

"Guys, are you still going to stay in New York? The people of HER will be back, and it will not be habitable anymore. If you wish, the Osiris can take you to safer places. ”

When Fiona, the cook, asked the refugees if they were leaving New York, an elderly refugee stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness, we will never repay you for your kindness." But we're all New Yorkers and we're not leaving. ”

"But..."

The elderly refugee shook his head, indicating that he had made up his mind. Most of the other refugees shared this attitude, with only a few with children expressing a willingness to leave aboard the Osiris.

"Well, since you want to stay, the Osiris will provide some food and medicine, you take care!"

The refugees once again expressed their gratitude for the kindness of the Osiris, when one of the refugees came up to Edward and said, "Edward, you should follow the Osiris, too." ”

Edward wiped the rice grains from the corners of his mouth and said, "What? Didn't I say I disobeyed orders to leave the North American Relief Alliance to help you? Who will protect you when I'm gone? ”

"We'll figure it out, but if you stay here, you'll be killed by HER sooner or later, and we'll be a burden to you!"

"yes, yes! Follow this ship, they're all good guys. HER finds out that you are gone, and will be as lazy to care about us as he used to. ”

The refugees echoed each other, and Edward choked up and couldn't speak. At this moment, a somewhat familiar man walked over and punched Edward to the ground without saying a word.

"Bastard, remember me?"

The one who beat Edward was Captain Dmitry of the New Muscovy, who had been so embarrassed by Edward that he finally had a chance to take revenge.

"Want to fight? Come on! '”

Edward got up and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, came to the interest of fighting, jumped butterfly steps, and fought with Dmitry for a while, and the originally touching scene instantly turned into a boxing match. The refugees knew Edward's temper and shouted to stop him, but no one dared to stop him. And the crew of the Osiris didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and cheered for the two.

At this time, the No. 3 machine and Sergeant Anton's "100 steps" arrived in Harlem at the same time, and it turned out that the No. 3 machine had the same function as Lin Ao's No. 2 machine, and they could automatically go to the driver's position.

"It turns out that the 'Howling Dog' can be carried on your back when not in use..."

Sergeant Anton's attention was originally on the No. 3 fuselage, but when he arrived at Harlem, he found that Edward and Dmitry were fighting. He climbed out of the cockpit and fired a shot into the sky with his sniper rifle, and the scene fell silent in an instant.

"Hey! What are you doing? If you want to fight, get out of the way and fight! ”

"Humph!"

Edward and Dmitry stopped their hands, but they were still unconvinced. At this time, I only heard the sound of someone stepping on high heels from behind the crowd, and it turned out to be reporter Sima Qian.

"What's going on? I was shooting with a photographer of the ruins of New York, and there was no gunshot. ”

Edward looked in Sima Qian's direction and froze in place.
