Joel nodded and replied to Virginia: "We took this commission." However, Tommy is going to stay and watch over Sarah, so only me and Xiao Nan will attend. I guess you'd put Tommy on the list of employees as well, right? ”

“…… Tommy is also a must. Otherwise, his name will not be on the list of employees. ”

"No, I can't leave Sarah alone in this house!"

"Legally, if Tommy hadn't been in action, I wouldn't have been able to put him on the employee list. This is absolutely impossible to be approved. Government regulations are government regulations, and I must abide by them, please understand," Virginia explained, adding, "If you're worried, you can send Sarah over to stay with me for a few days." It's very safe and well-supplied. ”

"......" Joel lost in thought.

Sarah offered to say, "I'll go live in Virginia for a few days." Everyone is a government employee, and Uncle Tommy can't be left alone. ”

Tommy said, "It's okay. I've been getting more and more proficient at that rat trap lately—"

"Tommy will go with him," Joel suddenly interrupted his brother, "Tommy will go with us too, and I will ask you to take care of Sarah these days." He said to Virginia.

On the phone, Virginia sounded happy: "Very good, someone from the military will come to you later with a briefing on the mission." ”

The people of the army are always very efficient. Two hours later, a jeep drove Joel, Tommy, and Nanxiao to a camp outside the city. Another jeep picks up Sarah, as well as Sarah's beloved Ragdoll Bear.

The situation seems to be getting worse. Jeeps pass by all the way, and the people you see on the road are all full of vegetables. It can be seen that they have not eaten enough for a long time. These people took hoes and walked sluggishly through the streets, like the walking dead.

When passing through the wall, the soldiers guarding the gate strictly checked their documents. In particular, the government documents presented by the driver were checked several times and checked with the official document number on the computer. "Lately, Fireflies have been doing a lot of surprise attacks," he explained, "and they've occasionally disguised themselves as our guys, and they're all dressed like the real thing." There is only one thing that cannot be forged, and that is the document number. In these years, anyone can betray, and there are not many things that can be trusted. ”

The camp outside the city was probably set up to clear the fireflies, and most of the posters on the walls were about the crusade against the fireflies. There are also wanted notices for some firefly leaders, especially Marlene, who is known as the Firefly Empress. This is supposed to be the concentration of the elite troops of the New York government. All of them look tough.

But this time, they are not going to war, but to make peace with Marlene.

An officer with a thick neck led them into the conference room, handed out a piece of paper to each person, then turned on the projector and began to give a mission briefing.

"Fireflies' stronghold is on an island near the Statue of Liberty," he said, "and as you know, there are a lot of small islands near the mouth of the sea. In the past, when the spore infection did not break out, some people lived on it, and some did not. In short, there are habitable houses with all the facilities. There are so many of them that we can't check them all frequently because of the lack of fuel. Firefly saw this and hid in Tibet. ”

Nan Xiao didn't speak, and looked at the briefing in his hand. There was no further information on it, except that they were going to the island, meeting with the Firefly Empress Marlene, and bringing back the active plants, exactly as Virginia had told them.

"So it's a mission for peace, right?" Joel asked.

"It depends on how well the Fireflies keep their promises," the officer said, "but we still have to be ready for battle." ”

After a brief preparation, they set off in a Humvee and headed to the docks. A patrol gunboat was waiting for them on the dock, with a dozen sailors on board, and a terrible double-barreled Bofors gun. This gun is N times sharper than the heavy machine gun of the Humvee, and can easily smash people to smithereens, as well as tear through the light armor of the armored vehicle.

With this cannon pressing, the negotiations should have more confidence.

It opened along the river for a while, and gradually, the water became wider. The Statue of Liberty loomed in the mist, but the torch was missing, and half of its head was missing.

The sailors looked around vigilantly, and the double-barreled guns spun around.

If the briefing is correct, the island ahead of me, Rhodes, is the stronghold of Fireflies.

When the gunboat approached, Nan Xiao saw someone running on the island. He looked at the flag on his head, well, it was a distinct Coast Guard logo, and it should be impossible to be mistaken.

Whoosh, a hole was broken in the flag.

Hold the grass?

Bang bang bang

"Lie down!" Someone shouted, "We are attacked, there are gunmen on the island!" ”

The double-barreled cannon quickly turned in the direction from which the gunfire came from, and began to return fire with a tom.

Nan Xiao lay on the deck, confused. What about the fireflies who said yes are willing to cooperate? What does it mean to start fighting before you get on the island? Marlene repented again?

The rapid cannon bombardment knocked the watchtower on the shore dumb. The gunboats took the opportunity to approach the beach and forcibly landed.

A few soldiers had just stepped onto the beach when they were immediately knocked down by a barrage of gunfire.

Joel listened to the voice and pointed in three directions. "There's a machine gun on the other side," he said, "the ruined building, the wharf shed, and the wrecked ship." ”

is exactly the same as Mao Yuyu's investigation results, but the veterans are different.

Mao Yuyu also saw more information. In the distance, there was a gray stone building, which looked sturdy, and it must be the stronghold of Fireflies. There's already movement over there. Someone put a gun in the window, someone started a car in the back of the building.

The battle was not going well. The soldier who operated the double-barreled fast cannon may have been careless, and after a few shots, he was shot in the head.

The other side has a powerful gunner, accurately through the gap in the center of the shield, and one shot seconds him. It's a 12.7 large-caliber bullet, and the helmet can't withstand it.

The shootout begins, and Nanxiao, Joel, and Tommy jump off the boat. The targets of the gunboats were simply too large, and the quality of the hull's defense was questionable. It's just a thin layer of iron, which can block rifle bullets at most.

The three men rushed onto the beach and fired at the enemy defending the beachhead.

Nan Xiao's marksmanship has improved rapidly, and he has been playing very accurately recently. With two headshots, he accurately knocked down the gunman hiding on the side of the wrecked ship.

At this time, Joel and Tommy also killed the other two gunmen, and the gunfire on the opposite side suddenly decreased a lot.

The officer who led the team was a second lieutenant and rushed up with seven or eight soldiers. The double-barreled guns on the gunboat also began to roar again, and it appeared that it was being manned by a different person.

Just when Nan Xiao was just breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a soldier say, "Hurry up, clean up these damn fireflies, how about we come to barbecue?" ”

What kind of flag is set up for no reason......
