A sudden bright light enveloped Simon's body, and the mecha system was even a few seconds late to react, and Simon rolled over to avoid it by feeling until he regained his sight.

A stout barrel was aimed at Simon.

"Stop! Drop your weapon! I'm sure I'll smash this mech! "The Abrams tank turned off the bright lights, and the 152mm smoothbore gun was dozens of meters away from Simon, but Simon had no doubt about the power of the tank gun, and in front of the tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing shell, it was said that it was a T-55 with weakened armor, and any known model would only go to hell if it was shot.

The two groups of rebel soldiers who were fighting just now invariably turned their guns out at the same time, and they knew who was the culprit with a little brain.

The lethal deterrent logo flashed wildly on the holographic screen, and the mechanical female voice hurriedly reported "six o'clock, two 88MM anti-armor guns" and "At 11 o'clock, the main battle tank appeared, it is recommended to turn on the AATS dodge immediately".

"Battle Judgment: Zero chance of winning."

The panoramic instrument scanned all the enemy troops around, Simon silently calculated the odds of launching a surprise attack in his heart, after all, the machine is dead, and he will only draw conclusions based on the data, but Simon sadly found that even if he can desperately kill the infantry, he can't escape the shelling of the main battle tank, the machine is very real, one is to, two is two, and a hit is a hit.

What's more, in order to break into the shelter before, Simon left all his burdens, and now he only has a pair of iron fists.

"I don't have a weapon!" Simon raised his hands, turned around slowly, and signaled that there were no weapon pods outside the mecha, Simon looked at the commander standing on the tank hatch, and the corner of his eyes swept over the commanders of the two teams of rebels, General Hughes and Colonel Taylor had a very clear meaning, deal with the trouble in front of them, and then talk about other things.

"Walk out of the mech in ten seconds! Now start counting down, ten, nine, eight. Colonel Taylor sat on the supply crate, his men bandaging the wounds he had made from dodging the chariot, but even so, the colonel still held his holster firmly in his right hand. On the contrary, there were two guards standing beside General Hughes, one on the left and one on the right, secretly supporting the red-faced general.

Simon knew that he was not qualified to delay or negotiate conditions, pressed the disengagement button, and the mecha "snorted" and spewed out unsealing vapor, which unfolded backwards, Simon raised his hands very knowingly and shouted: "Don't shoot!" I'm a soldier just like you! All for survival! ”

Colonel Taylor pushed his men away, fiercely pulled out his pistol, pulled the sleeve, the soldiers automatically got out of the way, the pistol was against Simon's forehead, and the finger holding the trigger only needed to move back one centimeter slightly, Simon's forehead would have a small hole, and the back of his head would be blown up.

"Get on your knees." The Colonel stared into Simon's steel-blue eyes and said.

Simon knelt on his knees obediently, the colonel took the gun in one hand, half of his body went down, pulled out Simon's waist revolver, handed it to his men, and said: "I remember this revolver is Major McNair's side gun, tell me, why is the gun in your hand, sergeant?" ”

"I once saved the life of a major in the Battle of Narvik in 2051, and last year, at the Boston Command range, the major gave it to me." Simon looked at the colonel without the slightest emotion in his eyes, but for the sake of his life, Simon continued to speak.

"Sir, my name is Simon Hayes, I am the platoon commander of Platoon H, Company B, 2nd Battalion of the 71st Ranger Regiment, I have served in various theaters of the mainland battlefield for five years, sir, the Empire has not been able to kill me, are you going to kill a soldier who has served his country for five years and is now your prisoner!"

The colonel nodded, put the pistol back into the holster, beckoned to his subordinates, took Simon's Colt python, pulled the trigger, shook his head regretfully, and sighed: "War hero? Your reasons convinced me. Just now, two of my people died because of you, so I must kill you. ”

Simon lowered his head and hid his muscle-twitching face in the shadows, since he didn't give him a way to live, don't blame him for dragging you into the water before he died, the rangers never have only one weapon on them!

"Taylor! Stop it! The revolver had already touched Simon's Tianling cover, Simon bent his fingers slightly with both hands, staring at the tips of the colonel's boots, before the gunshot, the first to die must be Colonel Taylor! But at this moment, General Hughes, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

When the colonel heard this, he reluctantly withdrew the revolver, but kicked Simon in the lower abdomen fiercely, and saw Simon curled up on the ground holding his stomach, only then did he spread out his hand and replied loudly: "General! Do you want me to take off my shoes and kick him to death? If that's what you mean, I'd love to! ”

General Hughes coughed, then spat out bloody sputum, his military boots stepped on the stain, and the general walked to the opposite side of the colonel with solid steps, and said loudly: "I remember this kid, I awarded him a medal in 2053, and Sergeant Hayes has killed hundreds of Imperials, don't forget!" The war escalated into a full-scale nuclear war! The Allies need every living force, yes, Sergeant Hayes killed a lot of my men just now, but only the court-martial has the power to judge him! Taylor! Your rank is colonel, I'm a general! Obey orders! ”

At this moment, everyone's faces were stained with gunsmoke and ashes, and they couldn't see what the colonel's face was, and the colonel could hear the colonel reply stiffly, "Yes!" Checkmate! The rebel soldiers carried their guns back, pulled out plastic handcuffs and tied Simon, pushing and shoving deeper into the shelter.

Simon let out a long sigh, no matter what awaited him next, he managed to save his life, and the T-55 mech removed the fusion core and locked it into the ammunition box under the mutual surveillance of the two sides. A disinfectant mist was sprayed at the doorway, and the radiation, human blood, and severed limbs began to be cleaned.

The shelter tunnels were obviously hollowed out of the mountainside, many places didn't even have time to be painted, the pungent smell of radiation-proof lead plates was emitted, and the signs of hasty completion were quite obvious, and the two soldiers escorted Simon through the group, and only a few hundred meters away, Simon found no less than a hundred light and heavy fire points. With this level of firepower density, Simon felt shocking just thinking about it.

At the end of the tunnel, there is another huge wall, painted military olive green, with a line carved into the wall - "Fort Kent Military Nuclear Bomb Shelter." The high-powered searchlight illuminated the tunnel, and Colonel Taylor made a gesture of please from a distance, and General Hughes snorted coldly and walked to the front console, and an extremely cold neutral tone sounded.

"Iris Detection, Correct, Fingerprint Proofreading, Correct, Confirm Identity, John Hughes, Major General. Please insert your PIN card and enter your PIN. ”

Simon noticed that Colonel Taylor was staring at the fluorescent identification card in the general's hand. In Simon's memory, General Hughes did award him a medal in Liège in 53, but there were more than 40 people in that batch, just a formality, Simon didn't think that this was enough for the general to keep him, but Simon was not stupid, the general left him alive, just to ask him to die.

"The gate is open, the lift table is working well, please wait where you are." The tunnel gate was actually a huge circular gear, tumbling to reveal the dark and bottomless abyss ahead, and even the lifting platform that could carry a main battle tank weighing seventy or eighty tons only occupied half the size of the abyss. Simon guessed that with such a huge amount of work, the government should have guessed the inevitability of full-scale nuclear war as early as the beginning of the war?

It was still a blast gate, and only through this door did you officially enter the Fort Kent shelter, first of all, the vehicle parking lot, Colonel Taylor whistled excitedly, and within his vision, there were the latest Allied military vehicles, the Abrams main battle tank alone was enough to arm an armored battalion, not to mention light vehicles such as the Storik armored car and the M4 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle.

The lifting platform continued to land, along the way, small nuclear power plants, water purification plants, fossil energy reserves, armament depots, living quarters, every two or three floors there is an anti-radiation or anti-interference layer, Simon watched the watch pass bit by minute, the lifting platform fell vertically for hundreds of meters and still did not touch the bottom, half an hour later, the group arrived at the general control area.

Simon was ordered to stop outside the isolation door, only the general and the colonel walked in, about a few minutes later, the lifting shaft suddenly became brightly lit, and an inexplicable sense of peace of mind fell into his heart, the isolation door opened, behind the two of them, the blue arc jumped happily, the general's face was a lot ruddy, and the colonel's aggressive momentum was reined in, and it seemed that some kind of agreement had been reached. After all, everyone adds up to less than three digits, and if infighting breaks out, no matter who wins or loses, the consequences are unbearable.

The space in the living area was unimaginable, so large that it was unnecessary to divide the territory, the two teams parted ways, and when the isolation door fell, blocking the gaze of Colonel Taylor smiling and seeing him off, General Hughes's steps stiffened, and he sat down leaning against the wall, and the guards suddenly panicked, and they touched the kettle again, went to find the treatment instrument, and finally followed the sign and sent the general to the treatment cabin.

Simon was so anxious that he hid himself in an unnoticed corner, lest he shoot him to avenge his companion if anyone was upset. It wasn't until half an hour later that the adjutant helped the revived general into the infirmary, Simon was planning to sneak into the depths of the shelter, and the limelight calmed down for a while before coming out, but he didn't expect the general to look back at Simon deeply, and then, Simon was handcuffed and escorted in.

"Let go of him." The scars and deep wrinkles on the general's face are densely intertwined, showing his old age, and he is deeply trapped in the leather chair with a backrest.

The adjutant hesitated and hesitated, "General, this person is a ranger. The implication is that Simon slams his hand and pulls a cushion on his back very simply.

"Release!" The general said beyond doubt.

Simon moved his wrist, and the adjutants next to him pressed their hands on the matching guns, looking like they were clamping Simon's sudden move in all directions. Simon raised the corners of his mouth slightly in disdain, straddled his left and right feet slightly, and pressed his index finger lightly.

"Soldier, I don't say polite words anymore, I choose to save your life, I want you to die for me. Agree, I will allow you to become a Ranger commander after the war, do you agree? The general's eyes were like a sparkling Mitsubishi thorn in the fluorescent lamp, sharp and straight to the heart.

"Disagree, die." The general watched Simon gradually withdraw the palm of his index finger, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly.

Simon was too lazy to deal with the question, and replied loudly, "From now on, you are my only commander." ”

The general waved his hand in satisfaction and said, "Very well, I accept your allegiance, Eugene, take Sergeant Hayes to his room, we will be in the shelter for a long time, and I hope that by this time tomorrow, everyone will be in good order, and disbanded now." ”

Although he nominally joined General Hughes's team, Simon was still sandwiched between the front and back, escorted through the hallway, the color of the shelter was mainly blue and white, and the air freshener mixed with the cool smell made people smell uncomfortable.

The adjutant stopped, pointed to a single bedroom, and said coldly, "Go in." Simon quickly glanced down at the room, and walked in obediently, the door sliding behind him closed, clicking, and Simon tugged lightly and locked it.

The room is simply furnished, with a single bed, wardrobe, a set of tables and chairs, but unexpectedly, there is actually a separate bathroom, Simon couldn't wait to take off the military uniform contaminated with a lot of radiation dust, scrubbed it carefully several times inside and out, changed into a special anti-radiation training uniform, and threw himself into the bed, only then did he feel a burst of fear and exhaustion from the bone marrow.

It doesn't matter who released the nuclear weapons, the war escalated into a full-scale nuclear war, at this time, there should not be too many people left in the world, the survivors who were lucky enough not to die in the first wave of strikes, the severe test has just come, nuclear radiation, and nuclear winter.

Simon rubbed his face fiercely, his parents lived in Pennsylvania, closer to the location of the nuclear explosion than him, and the probability of surviving was almost zero, the loose muscles moaned, the slightest soreness soaked through his body, and all kinds of images were intertwined in his mind, urging Simon to close his eyes.

Dreams frantically flashed across the stars, bullets, and splatters of flesh, and countless puppeteers in familiar military uniforms jumped out of the trench with rifles and shouts, leaping out, falling, and all eyes on Simon, saying, "Why are you alive and we are dead?" ”

So Simon smashed the sniper rifle and rolled down the church bell tower, and on the cliff ahead, Juliana, wearing a red cross helmet, fell backwards indifferently with her shoulder bag.

"Didn't you promise me to come back?"

"Bang bang bang......" Simon instantly dragged back from his dream to reality, and there was an impatient slamming sound outside the door, and the adjutant shouted, "Sergeant Simon Hayes!" It's your turn to go to the medical pod to clear the radiation from your body! The sliding door opened, and the two adjutants spoke in the same cold and hard tone: "Sergeant, go this way." ”

With his stomach growling, the watch time jumped to 5 a.m. on April 21, and Simon saw that there were many soldiers returning from medical treatment in the corridor, and asked, "Is there anything to eat?" ”

"I can't go to the cafeteria until I finish the physical examination."

The adjutant led Simon to walk a long way, the pace was unusually fast, passing through the cabin door, Simon only saw the word "frozen" in a hurry, there were many medical cabins in the room, Simon even saw General Hughes in the medical cabin, the adjutant pushed Simon into the medical cabin next to the general, closed the hatch, and the adjutant knocked on the porthole and said: "Long night without dreams, sergeant, I wish you a pleasant journey." ”

Simon suddenly became uneasy, but a large amount of viscous liquid was overflowing from the cabin, and before Simon's eyes were submerged, the adjutant saluted the standard military salute to the cabin where the general was, and reported loudly: "I look forward to continuing to serve you in the future, General!" The adjutant's arm slammed down with a sonorous blow, clinging to the bright red trouser leg line.

Endless cold, darkness.
