Old Testament Chapter 99 Jumping into the Sea
Astrid turned on the anti-gravity module a bit, just enough to keep her one centimeter away from the ground. But this feeling of weakness on the cotton is easy to make the stilt clown laughing. Astrid is undoubtedly the most skilled of the circus, and every mechmaster has to start with an exoskeleton. She grasped the scale of the valve, and even the guiding light was tuned to the green glow of the ghost pupil, and she tried to take the first step.
She tilted her head slightly, and the ceramic hollow squares that had saved her life hung all over the control cables of the cabin, which corresponded to the floor tiles one by one, and she casually looked at them and found that every floor tile had dark marks, like some cabinet had been left on for a long time. The reflection in the field of vision is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cabin door, and the team members have changed the map information as soon as they enter the freighter. At the top of this diagram is a line of large red lacquer letters.
It is strictly forbidden to approach without permission.
Generally speaking, the power compartment of a civilian ship is located at the tail of the ship, which is conducive to transmission, and the deep tank at the bottom is either a ballast water tank or a fuel tank, or a complex mechanical gear, and there is no special secret level. But the unmarked gates that lay across the back gave the slogan an endorsement. What's hidden inside. Instinctively, she affirmed, but it was impossible for her to continue the mission alone, and it was imperative that she escape back to the patrol boat and make another choice.
"I'm moving towards Area 5C." The swap panel had ten bright icons, but at this point it plummeted to two, and Astrid hunched over, lowering his center of gravity to control the anti-gravity module, and the slight catwalk made the sound difficult to detect even from a few meters away. "Roger, the ghost is leaving my area, be careful." After a long time, a message pops up in the Maj Conway dialog box on the panel. The signal is delayed. Astrid's brow curled widely, like a lancet.
The minimap faithfully records Astrid's route, and she doesn't have to worry about getting lost, and follows the hologram to guide her back to the starting point, the red dots flashing at the spot where her Marines have died. She had passed by a few hours earlier, but the ghost had chased her, leaving a glimpse of the mood and the void. Gotta take some souvenirs back with you. Astrid turned the backup camera to observe the straight lanes on either side. Quietly, she had the feeling that she was a video game character who needed to escape the ghost and escape back to the rescue point, and a ten-year-old boy was running the PS4 with great interest. Maybe it's still a two-dimensional game. She thought.
It took her three times as long to get to the place where the Marines were dying. "Arrive at K-0." Half a minute later, Major Conway sent back the message. "There's still a ghost patrolling the shuttle, good luck." Five ghosts? Astrid calculates that I hope good luck is in me, as you say. She gradually turned the anti-gravity module back to one hundredth of power. May ye rest in peace. Astrid looked at the rotting corpses strewn across the corridor. Where are you, Captain...... The most effective way to know what happened to a freighter is to read the logbook and the captain's logbook, even if the freighter is really doing a top-secret experiment, the captain must have heard the news, and no matter how much a person's diary is disguised, it will reveal clues. She flipped over a corpse facing the sky on her back. Ammunition, I'm not short of ammunition, I'm short of extra lives. Do you want to put a coin in me? Continuing your life? Please, off-screen players aren't so poor, right? Astrid tells herself hilarious topics, a literal phobia of ghost confinement.
I'm sorry. Astrid glanced at the badge, the reflection of the polished surface making her see the name. Vincent Douglas. If I come back with reinforcements and a solution, I will definitely hold a soldier's funeral for you. She swore silently. She moved to the next corpse.
"Snort......" Astrid smoothly unzipped her backpack. Here, little bitch, I've been looking for you for a long time. Astrid carefully pulled out her yellow logbook. The Logbook of the USS Lake Balaton and a diary with a blue velvet cover, the Captain's Diary. She stuffed two books into a magazine pouch. As soon as she looked up, the corner of the corridor condensed out of thin air the color she hated most in her life.
Dark green.
Oh, hell. Astrid muttered, and a halo of light and fireworks shuffled around the ghost, one and one ghost staring at each other. Suddenly, a pure and confused look passed into her blue eyes. Is it saying hello to me? Hello, I also say hello to you. Astrid's posture remained the same, but he turned up a little anti-gravity, like a statue with an aerostat, flying to the next exit.
It's okay, you can admire and admire my beauty, I won the title of school flower when I was a student, and the wild bees and butterflies who pursued me at West Point can fill an entire Long Beach! If you want, I'll leave you a phone number and call again tomorrow, and I'll swear by my cup and I'll take it! Astrid wanted to cry without tears. God, Allah, all the gods of the world, this is your means of manifesting the will of the post-Fallout era, clumsy! As if hearing her prayer, the ghost took the first step, where would he let a great beauty go and quietly leave.
I accept your pursuit. It doesn't seem to show hostility or cowardice, and the ghost only follows the temptation hesitantly, like a vicious dog who has not found out whether the other party is strong or not. His elbow muscles were sore, but Astrid still maintained the posture of stuffing his journal, especially hanging a rifle with various accessories such as optical sights and probes, weighing four kilograms. Take it easy, take it easy. Major Conway said sentence after sentence in the exchange panel.
"Exited the hiding chamber and approached Area 6E."
"Alpha, where are you?"
"Alpha, did you get it?"
Astrid cursed the words that began with F in her heart. Don't...... The rearview camera shows a scene that has sent her into despair, and yet another ghost smells and sees a beauty, this "suitor" is clearly determined to succeed, and if Astrid continues to slow down at her current pace, she will wait for another group of team members to hold her funeral!
I'm sorry, my mother suddenly decided to be single for the rest of her life. Astrid turned off the anti-gravity module and ran away, and the stupid ghost was stunned for a moment, then cracked its mouth and howled silently. "Damn bald!" Astrid growled, and she simply opened her throat and cursed. "Fuck off! The old lady is not interested in dying in this iron coffin! Frankly, her timbre matched the high-spirited, magnetic hoarse voice that the Federalists were always looking for. She herself likes to suppress or open her throat shouting at certain moments, but it depends on what she is wearing. Since bullets can't deal with them, it's better to throw the gun away! Astrid untied the gun belt, and without the burden of shaking, she opened the exoskeleton to the maximum, five minutes of extreme squeezing, raw! Die!
"Alpha head towards the exit of Area 6B!" She shouted. Suddenly, Major Conway also sent a voice connection. "I thought you were dead! In the marathon, you take the first place, I take the first place? ”
"Whatever you want!" Astrid was annoyed by the idiot. "Do you know how to swim?" Expanding to the video connection, Major Conway invariably twisted the rearview camera. Bad luck young man, four ghosts chase her, gecko clinging to the bulkhead. "Yes!"
She said. The supercharged speed run also failed to shake off the ghost. Come on! Astrid swore another vow that she would duel with the commander of the First Mech Battalion of the Mech Division. Can't a mech be called on a non-mech? Bullshit! The old lady's officer/certificate clearly says armored soldiers! I'm your grandfather's haunted mecha Valkyrie, and I'm going to send you to Valhalla! Astrid felt only a volcano erupt. "Come after me! Retarded with no legs! She scolded. The war on the Eastern Front taught her a lot, one of which is that she is right for everyone, and if she loses her momentum, she loses everything.
"Then I want you to be good at holding your breath! I'm almost at the exit! Major Conway said, the sun shining in front of him for the first time in a long time, and although it was late in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun was still dazzling. Contacting the ship, the signal is out! The Astrid signal grid fluctuated weakly as well.
"I'm on deck!" The Major gasped for breath, so much so that Astrid saw a glimmer of hope. I can get out! She simply turned off the rearview camera and focused on looking ahead! "Sail! Sail! The young man climbed over the guardrail, jumped to the patrol boat, and immediately ordered the captain to start the engine.
"What the hell are you going to do! You're going to leave me running alone! Coward! Astrid howled hoarsely. The exit is not far away! A few more corners, the legs swing so much that it feels unreal, and the steel and bones are not in harmony after all. The ghost was so close that her heart pumped blood frantically to her limbs, from the heart, from the fear of the unknown!
"I asked! You said you could swim! You have to hold your breath! I can't risk the boat stopping in the sea where the ghosts can reach! After coming out, jump! I'll get you up! Believe me! Jump! The Major put down the intercom and roared as the gunner spun the guns and aimed them at the guardrail that he had just turned over.
"You and I are in the same direction! Run! Squeeze every ounce of effort! Run! Just think there's a lion behind you! Before the Major could realize the gaffe, Astrid's angry voice rang out in his headphones: "I'd rather be a lion!" ”
Sunlight! Outlet! Astrid climbed the steps, the force was so great, the footprints of the steel feet of the exoskeleton were deeply dented, a few steps away, the sun! Outlet! Her world suddenly collapsed. It's over, and the ghost catches up. She closed her eyes in despair. "Knock." She stumbled, rolled and crawled forward, dusk was about to pass, and when it was dark, the mutant creatures floating from the bottom of the sea would dominate the sea, and the three-hundred-ton patrol boat was nothing more than a dinner for the cavity dragon! She didn't have time to worry about where the ghost was, she stepped on the guardrail, and the patrol boat's silhouette lights flashed, dozens of meters away. "Jump!" Major Conway stood at the bow of the ship, he removed his mask, and a lock of silver hair fluttered freely.
The ghost's silent howl seemed to sound again. "you!" Astrid burst out of her mouth words that began with F, and with no choice, she jumped. A huge splash, the icy sea water and the heavy exoskeleton quickly drained her strength. She looked down in fear, and there was a light of blood in the dark seabed, and she couldn't move, and the king sunfish opened its abyssal mouth and sucked her. She struggled and screamed, and the sea water poured into the mask, and soon, she couldn't scream, blurring her vision along the way. No matter how hard she tried, the patrol boat's lights faded farther and farther away.
It turns out that this is what death feels like...... The darkness obliterated the last shred of her consciousness.
