Captain Shepard, covered in a sheet, reclined in the captain's seat converted into a chaise longue, nervously awaiting the Osiris to leave Ohio's state border. His fingers tapped restlessly on the armrest, and when the tail of the Osiris left the state border, his tense body relaxed, slipped off the back of the recliner, and beckoned to the messenger Jessica: "Get me a cake!" ”

However, as soon as he finished, he heard the alarm sounding inside the ship, and dozens of missiles flew out in front of the Osiris and on the left and right sides. The ship's automated missile interception system reacted faster than Rao, successfully intercepting most of the missiles before anyone could figure out what was happening.

Although no one expected HER to attack the Osiris as soon as it entered Indiana, everyone was already nervous, and now they were able to get into combat faster than usual.

"Captain, 15 Eagle Flyers were killed from the north, west, and south, and the figure of the HER battleship appeared due west!"

Although Shepard's mental state is not as good as before, as a veteran, his battle order is still sonorous and powerful: "Execute the C defense plan, and attack with all!" Let our enemies see how powerful we are! ”

The two teams of humanoid weapons A and B landed on the ground, and the battleship cannons on the same side blocked the enemy's approach. The Osiris continued to move westward, preparing to meet the enemy ships.

After Jack Sr. landed, he contacted Edward and said to him: "Edward, let your wingman keep an eye on the direction of the state border to prevent the enemy from sneaking up!" ”

"It's not called a wingman, it's called a whistling dog, thank you!"

After Edward landed, he took out the laser rifle and put it on the back of the whistling dog, and then just pointed in one direction, and the howling dog went to the ambush site on his own. Edward scanned the surroundings and saw that the enemy was heading for teams A and B, so he found a bunker and prepared to snipe.

…

The USS Osiris is already engaged with HER forces in Indiana, and Ohio University is also under constant artillery fire. Trist stood on the hillside and used a triple semi-automatic smoothbore gun to stop the HER troops from ascending the hill, but he struggled to deal with an enemy several times his size on his own. He was both puzzled and angry, thinking to himself where Lin Ao had gone? Didn't he go to my mountain bag? If he had been there, the enemy would not have reached the foot of the mountain so quickly.

In the face of Trist's artillery bombardment, Major Kondo was not in a hurry to fight back, he knew that the North American Rescue Union had limited shells for these wild foxes, and he only needed to keep asking the soldiers to make it look like they were going up the mountain.

"Major! Nishikito-kun's body was destroyed! ”

"Don't be afraid! Keep provoking me, and the Death Knight will soon run out of ammo! ”

The other half of Kondo's troops were pinning back Anton who was also alone, and the automatic cannons that Anton had arranged in the mountains and forests managed to drag five or six Eagle Yang and destroy two of them. But the enemy's morale did not flinch at all, and while approaching Anton, he destroyed the automatic cannons hidden everywhere.

Seeing that the number of automaton cannons was getting smaller and smaller, Anton's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he wiped the sweat and aimed at the target with bated breath. With the snap of his finger, another Eagle Fly was destroyed by the laser that passed through the woods. But that didn't make Anton feel any lighter, and as the number of enemies decreased, it became more and more difficult for him to shoot the next one.

The sound of artillery fire in the direction of Ohio University was incessant, and he didn't know if Lin'o and Trist were in a better situation than he was now. He tried to call for backup, but Lin Ao did not respond, Trist could not get out, and Anton had to concentrate on his enemies here, trying to lighten the burden of others.

"And 3 more... 3 units..."

Anton's finger on the trigger of his sniper riflesight had stiffened from holding a position for a long time, and Anton prayed to the gods that he would not miss the opportunity because he couldn't move his finger the next time he pulled the trigger. Fortunately, as a battle-hardened sniper, his fingers never let him down. Anton pulled the trigger again, and another enemy lost the ability to fight.

But this was already the last ammunition of Anton's laser sniper rifle, and he had to take out the spare live-fire sniper rifle. The power of live ammunition weapons is much lower than that of laser weapons, and it is difficult to defeat the enemy with one blow unless it hits the vital point, but it is very difficult to hit the vital point in the mountains and forests. Anton fears that if the enemy finds out that he has run out of laser bullets, he will launch a desperate charge, and then he will be in trouble.

In the distance, the sound of Ohio University artillery fire was interrupted, and Trist had already exhausted the last shells of the smoothbore gun.

"The Death Knight is out of ammo, rush!!"

Kondo roared excitedly, in his opinion, Trist would definitely be defeated by himself this time. Normally, Trist would have chosen to retreat, but now that the refugees at Ohio University have nowhere to run, Trist can only stay and fight desperately.

3 eagles came up and repaid Trist for suppressing their fire with a dense range of bullets. Trist raised his gun to fight back, but the machine gun he had been using for a long time actually exploded at such a critical moment, and he threw away the machine gun in annoyance, shouting: "What about Lin Ao? Come help me! Have you been killed!? ”

…

Lin Ao slowly opened his eyes, only to feel pain all over his body, and when he looked up, he found that all the monitors were black, and he was very frightened.

"Thoth! What about Thoth? Did you break it too?? ”

"My system is in the innermost part of Unit 2, so it won't break so easily."

The familiar voice sounded, which made Lin Ao feel a little more relieved, and he asked, "Did we fall just now?" Where is this? Why are the monitors all black? Did it break?? ”

AI Toth was unhurried: "Don't panic, we have fallen, and the current position should be about 1000 meters from the ground." As for the displays, they're not broken, it's just that dark around. ”

"1000 meters?? Will the No. 2 be able to fly back to the ground? ”

"It's a pity that this altitude exceeds the limit of the low-altitude flight altitude of the No. 2 aircraft."

Lin Ao couldn't believe his ears, could it be that he was trapped in a dark hole and couldn't get out? He had never heard the word claustrophobia before, but now Lin Ao was experiencing similar symptoms. He looked at the dark monitor, felt extremely cold in his body, and goosebumps came out. He felt as if the bulkhead of the cockpit was pressing against him, and he curled up uneasily.

The AI discovered the abnormality of Lin Ao's body data, so he comforted: "Don't be nervous, I'll tell you good news!" ”

"Isn't there still bad news?"

"Hey, don't tear the bottom down, okay! That's right, but let's listen to the good news first, that is, most of the functions of the No. 2 machine are basically normal and have not been broken. ”

"Y-most of you?"

"Well, only the weapon system is broken. When the No. 2 machine uses a weapon, the body itself will recognize the information hidden inside the weapon, and the weapon can only be used if it is correct, but now the body cannot recognize the information of the weapon. But since we're trapped in a deep pit, weapons won't help. ”

“……”

The AI's so-called comfort had no effect, and Lin Ao no longer curled up, but tried to find a way to get up in the darkness like a panicked headless fly. He tried to take off, but he didn't fly high enough to land. He tried to climb up, but the walls of the pit that suddenly appeared were so smooth and vertical that he couldn't grasp anything he could let go.

"Can't you contact the Osiris??"

"I've tried it a long time ago, and I don't know why the communication is being interfered with."

"Who's going to save me!!" Lin Ao's hands clawed at the wall again.

"It's useless, you can't climb up, save some effort, the food and water you carry can sustain you for a week at most."

In the eyes of the AI, Lin Ao was doing useless work, but suddenly, the hand of machine 2 seemed to touch something that looked like a handle, and Lin Ao pulled down the wrench without the slightest hesitation.

In an instant, the pitch-black crater was illuminated. If it had been a little later, Lin Ao's eyes would have adapted to the darkness just now, and the eyes of the bright mountain suddenly appeared. Fortunately, he is only a little unwell now, and he can see things after closing his eyes and resting.

"Here... It's a weapons warehouse!! ”

The AI didn't have any eyes blinded, and before Lin Ao regained his sight, it discovered that this so-called sudden pit was actually a weapons warehouse! The wall of the pit that Lin Ao was trying to climb just now was a smooth iron wall, no wonder he couldn't even pinch a little dirt after grabbing half of it.

"Here?? Weapons warehouse?? ”

Lin Ao couldn't believe his eyes, at a depth of 1,000 meters underground, someone had dug a warehouse that could accommodate the No. 2 machine standing, and the 1,000-long tunnel wall leading to the ground was completely metal, which was not a lot of work.

"Does the North American Rescue Alliance have the strength to do this kind of warehouse? Could it have been repaired by the North American forces before the outbreak of the war? ”

The AI repudiated Lin Ao's law: "No, the North American forces before the war did not develop humanoid weapons at all. But you see, there are weapons all of them for humanoid weapons, and they're different from what any of the forces already have! In my opinion, this is the ruins you have found so much! ”

Lin Ao opened his mouth wide and did not accept the AI's words for a while. The era of biography is less than 10,000 years away from now, and the underground arsenal at that time can be left to the present?

"Lin Ao! Look there! There is an elevator that might take us back to the ground! ”

Hearing the existence of an elevator, Lin Ao's hanging heart finally landed. Now that he had the hope of going out, he became interested in the weapons he had never seen before. He tried to remove one of the guns, but the moment the fingers of Unit 2 touched the barrel, the gun suddenly turned to dust and fell to the ground.

Lin Ao was so startled that his hand inadvertently touched the wall where the weapon was hung. As a result of this shock, dozens of weapons hanging on the wall also turned into dust piled on the toes of the No. 2 machine...

"Me? I gave the artifacts from tens of thousands of years ago?? ”

Lin Ao thought he had done something wrong and almost cried. The AI comforted: "You can't be blamed for this, according to my analysis. You accidentally detonate the Eagle Flyer's missile bay, and the missiles explode almost close to the ground, inadvertently activating the arsenal's closed doors. And this place has been isolated from the world for too long, and the people who hid weapons here at the beginning did not expect that this place would be awakened again after 10,000 years, these weapons could not withstand the time of 10,000 years, so when the air from the outside world entered here again, they could not remain as they were at all, and they were weathered! ”

Lin Ao was stupid: "So that's the case... It's a shame that these weapons can't stay, a testimony of civilization 10,000 years ago..."

"Who didn't leave any of them? Take a closer look. ”

Lin Ao was reminded by the AI, only to find that there was still a meteor hammer for a humanoid weapon hanging on the wall...
