Finale: When Hell Comes to Earth (4)
On the day of departure, it was sunny and cloudless.
Nearly 100 base cars were lined up in an orderly row in the open space, and in the gap between the cars were the members of each team, who would be the starting lineup of Tiandu Academy and the army of the alliance today. Now, the leadership of the academy is presiding over the pledge of the expedition. Since President Xie was placed in the strategic area early, today's pledge meeting was presided over by the vice president.
"Children"
The white-haired vice-principal swept every member of the venue into his eyes, they were so young, so vigorous, they should continue to practice various skills in the academy, but today they were forced to suspend their studies and go to the front. When the war is over, many of the people here will be disabled, and they may even sleep on the battlefield in a different place, and as their common mentor, how uncomfortable he will be! Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, he gave a speech to this group of enthusiastic students.
"You are all the elite selected from the Alliance, responsible for the future of humanity. I'm so sad to let you go to the battlefield like this! ”
"But we don't have a choice! The alien species far away on the African continent are becoming more powerful every day, and they are hostile to us and are eyeing us humans, vowing to wipe out our species! You say, 'Can we back down?' ”
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
……
The vice principal pressed his hand down, signaling the angry students to calm down
"Yes, we can't! Our ancestors were industrious, brave, wise and united, and in the long years let our race stand on the top of this planet, we cannot lose this glory given to us by our ancestors, and we have the courage to challenge any difficulties! ”
"This war is likely to be very hard, and protracted battles will add countless casualties. Many of us will be disabled by this, and many will remain on the battlefield forever and never return home, but we can't back down! Behind us, there are the expectations of countless fathers and villagers, and the ardent eyes of brothers, sisters and uncles, who are waiting for the news of our victory and our triumphant return! ”
"More than a hundred years ago, our forefathers defeated xenos with rudimentary thermal weapons and bayonets; More than 70 years ago, our predecessors used simple exoskeleton auxiliary equipment to curb the influx of insects; And today, we have a mecha with superior performance, a powerful evolutionary, and a deep space fleet that can destroy the world, as long as we remember the honor of mankind, we humans will win again!! ”
As soon as the vice principal's voice fell, a passionate shout rang out in the venue
"The alliance will win!"
"Humanity will win!"
Finally, the sound of a tsunami in the mountains converged
"Victory! Win! Win! ”
The vice principal waved his hand vigorously to signal everyone to go, and the students got on the bus one after another. Then, from the head of the line, the base cars had to slowly drive out of the gate of the academy one by one.
……
The convoy had moved out of the security zone and into the main road leading to the buffer zone, and their mission was to advance to a supply center established by the Coalition on the front lines to ensure the safety of the supplies inside and to ensure the logistics of the coalition forces in that area. Then, after the arrival of the next team, they continued to the next supply depot closer to the front line.
"Park, park!"
Liu Yuxin began to call Tong Zhen through the team communication.
Without any doubt, Tong Zhen drove the base car into a long convoy and parked it in an open space on the side of the road, and Liu Lao Yuxin opened the car door and walked down, targeting a group of men and women in restaurant uniforms.
"Head, you don't want us anymore? Leave us without saying a word, and if it weren't for the reconnaissance plane we went out to search for and discovered the academy's convoy, we would have almost been kept in the dark by you. ”
As the deputy of the search team, Johnny sternly criticized Liu Yuxin, who left without saying goodbye.
Liu Yuxin smiled bitterly
"This war has little to do with you, and I don't want to get you involved."
"We were part of the Alliance, too!"
Liu Yuxin looked at Johnny, who was a little excited, and patted him on the shoulder
"I understand how you want to contribute to this beautiful world, but I don't think it's necessary for you to participate in this expedition. Now that the Coalition is being mobilized for war, the number of xenomorph attacks on civilians is sure to increase, and if you really want to, do your best to keep the safe zone and its surroundings safe. ”
Liu Yuxin looked around at the other team members, and then said:
"Let's go back, I know what you want, but I can't agree! Since I brought you out of the Styx, I am responsible for you. You have an even more important task ahead of you, as Captain Lacquer and the thousands of Titan immigrants aboard the Styx are waiting for you to find the key to activate the battleship and untie the shackles that trapped them. You don't deserve to be consumed in a pointless tug-of-war! ”
Hearing Liu Yuxin mention Qi Xing and the remnants of the Giant Clan, this group of people thought that their current identity was not only a human being, but also had to be responsible for the Styx, and they lowered their heads one by one.
Liu Yuxin saw that she had already moved them, so she hurriedly struck while the iron was hot
"Don't worry, when the time really comes for you to fight, I will definitely lead you to victory! Can you trust me or not? ”
Johnny and the others raised their heads and asked each other about their friends with eye eyes, and after waiting for answers, they turned around and got into the transport plane moored on the lawn.
"You're getting better!"
Nangong Qian, who has come all the way with Liu Yuxin, can most deeply understand his growth, and now Liu Yu Laoxin is slowly becoming a qualified leader.
"Let's go, we're all lagging behind, we need to catch up quickly!"
After delaying for such a while, the small convoy of Tiandu Academy had already gone away.
Nangong Qian pursed her lips and said disdainfully:
"Come on, it's more than 2 months to get from here to our destination, and sooner or later we're going to be left behind - don't forget, we only have one driver"
Liu Yuxin seemed to have been hit by a death point, and her body stiffened on the spot.
Yes, innocence can't drive 24 hours a day, right?
"That'...... So what to do? ”
"Do you need to talk about that?"
Nangong Qian glanced at Liu Yuxin and entered the lounge.
Then the base car went on the road as if it was drunk.
"Squeak~~~"
After a burst of braking, the base car crashed into the protruding mountain at the turn, and Tong Zhen jumped out of the passenger seat and lowered his body to check the damage to various parts of the base car, and was relieved to find that there was no major problem.
"Tom" The lounge door was pushed open forcefully, Nangong Qian jumped out angrily, there was still a piece of juice stain on the side of the collar, she knocked on the door of the cab vigorously and shouted:
"Liu Yuxin, what the hell are you doing? You're driving a base car! And not some hellish bumper cars! How many times have you said it? ”
A head came out of the window, not to be outdone, and said:
"You can do it!"
"You ......"
Tong innocently shook his head speechlessly as he looked at this everyday thing that would happen every once in a while. After a few hours of getting along, he has become accustomed to the babbling Nangong Qian and Liu Yuxin's bickering, and his heart has lost the anxiety he had when facing the top powerful.
Generally speaking, Liu Yuxin's talent is already very good, but lack of driving experience is a weakness, and she is often in a hurry when encountering unexpected situations, causing some minor accidents. The frequent accidents also made them farther and farther away from the convoy, and at this point they could only judge the approximate location and distance of the convoy based on the signals on the tactical radar.
It is naturally impossible to drive a car, and I will never drive in this life, only to compete who is more calm.
Nangong Qian turned around angrily and slammed herself into the lounge with a "bang".
"Woo~Woowoo, woo......"
There was a faint cry of a girl in the wind
"What's going on? How can there be a woman crying in this wilderness? ”
The hatch that had just been closed was opened again, and Nangong Qian poked her head out of it.
Tong Zhen turned up the tactical map and studied it for a while, then shook his head
"The map shows that we are already near the edge of the buffer zone and there are no more gathering points. The sudden crying of the woman is too weird, let's leave it alone, right? ”
Liu Yuxin jumped out of the cab and ran towards her mecha
"Let's go and see, what if one of the civilians who has been separated from the caravan needs help?"
In normal times, there are often some people who form armed merchant groups to sell some special products between various security zones for high profits, and sometimes the team will be scattered when encountering more powerful high-level xenomorphs. Liu Yuxin cannot turn a blind eye to innocent civilians.
"Innocence, you stay in the base car, pay attention to your own safety, Nangong Qian, follow me!"
Liu Yuxin piloted the heavily armed mecha and headed towards the small yellow dot detected on the bioradar, followed by Nangong Qian, who had a pulse rifle on her back.
Walking through several dense forests, Liu Yuxin and the others found the source of sound. It was an emaciated girl, crouching in a thin bush and weeping, and her delicate face could be seen through the criss-crossed crevices of the branches.
Nangong Qian saw that it was a human and hung down the pulse rifle in her hand, but was about to step forward but was stopped by Liu Yuxin
"Don't go over, something is wrong!"
"Something is wrong?"
Nangong Qianhu asked suspiciously:
"What's wrong?"
"Look at the girl's appearance, she must have been crying there for a while, right?"
Nangong Qian looked at the dew-soaked clothes on the girl's body, and the alarm bell began to ring in her heart, looking at her appearance, I am afraid that she has not cried from last night to now! Is this still something that humans can do? Besides, after crying for so long, why should it have alarmed some xenos moving around, and those murderous xenos should be eyeing her around even if they didn't make it to tear her to pieces, right? But the bioradar couldn't even catch a larger life signal!
As if sensing the arrival of the two uninvited guests, the girl stopped crying and turned her head to look at Liu Yuxin, the white face was a pair of black eyeballs without the whites of the eyes, and there was resentment surging in it!
"Oops!"
Faced with this unknown creature that was obviously not a human being, Liu Yuxin and the others were shocked at the same time, and they both took a step back.
"Smack"
Vajra's backward steps broke a broken branch on the ground, making an unusually striking crunch in the silence of the woods.
Like pouring cold water into boiling oil, the girl's originally calm face became extremely angry, she arched her body in the face of Liu Yuxin, her mouth cracked all the way to the root of her ear, and a tongue like thorns popped out from between the sharp teeth of the knife and let out a piercing roar:
"Wow~"
"Let's go!"
Liu Yuxin put Nangong Qian on her shoulder, protected her with her hand, and suddenly rushed through, passing through the bushes that had fallen off and only bare branches, and the sound of "crackling" branches breaking was endless.
This xenomorph reminded Liu Yuxin of the gilded master after the alienation, and he chose to retreat immediately because he felt that the situation was not good.
