Sunset Chapter 15. Date of adjudication
The mecha headlamp illuminates the way forward, the operating system is connected to the M3 heavy machine gun external contact, and the helmet holographic screen immediately jumps out of a small weapon icon, the mecha combat system is independent from the beginning, except for the mecha unit commander has the right to open the back door of the system, within the allowable range, the mecha pilot can do anything.
"Squad status? Offline. ”
"Commander status? Offline. ”
The mechanical female voice constantly and coldly reports the necessary norms, and in the era of large-scale warfare, the greatest role of a hero is to cool down for two or three seconds, either to be blown back by a large-caliber shell, or to be melted into blood by an electromagnetic sniper. If it is a land tank of seventy or eighty tons, it is better, and the mecha fights alone, it is called stupidity, and if you die in the land of Europa, your soul will only be ridiculed if you return to Valkyrie.
"Warning! Sgt. Simon Hayes, you are not allowed to turn on any mode other than training mode without the permission of the commander! If you don't switch back to predetermined mode after ten seconds, HQ will have the right to lock the mech! ”
Simon smiled wryly, headquarters? The headquarters is now a puddle of residue scalded by the nuclear wind, and as for the commander? Simon turned on the life detector, and as far as he could see, there was no grass.
"Ten...... Nine...... Eight ......"
"II...... One ......"
"After the test, a high concentration of radiation was found in the air, and the communication status of the headquarters was in a state of uncontact, and it was suspected that it had been subjected to a nuclear attack. According to Order No. 1 of the Allied Mech Force, Sergeant Simon Hayes, you are the highest-ranking military in the region, and the command of the mechs is now transferred to you. The mechanical female voice said coldly, the silver shield and sword emblem jumped into the holographic screen, the T-55 mecha switched to full power mode, and the AATS chip was activated.
Simon's throat moved slightly, and he ordered: "All mecha units, search for survivors, find a safe area on your own." ”
"Message sent."
Dozens of T-55 mechs in the warehouse automatically dropped the hydraulic locks, and walked stiffly step by step into the radiation mist, after all, they were just mechanical creations, without the control of the owner, how to talk about the soul?
The filter sifts out the radioactive dust and feeds the scorch-smelling air into Simon's body. According to the on-screen minimap, Simon returned to the airport in reverse, the Rangers were left with no bones, and everyone was equal under the nuclear explosion.
"Warning! Sergeant Simon Hayes! With your current permissions, you are not allowed to enter the forbidden area! Please stay away from the fence! Otherwise, the headquarters will be notified and the mecha will be locked! The mechanical female voice rang out in Simon's ears again, and rightfully so, there was silence again.
"After the detection, it was not possible to contact the regional headquarters, the level of nuclear radiation reached the alert level, and all command personnel were offline. Sergeant Simon Hayes! In accordance with Allied Decree No. 377, Mech Pilots have priority and are now granted supreme command of the Fort Kent Army Base! ”
Through the fence, the hills and paths were full of corpses, and the heat radiation burned all flammable materials in an instant, including military uniforms made of nylon, these rebels were suffocated and burned to death, many of them tore their necklines before they died, trying to catch their breath, but this is also a luxury, they inhaled high-temperature radiation dust, and the most terrible thing is that death does not come quickly.
Two deep rut marks pressed over the pile of corpses, obviously not all the rebels were killed here, the rebels who shot the rangers before the nuclear explosion, the rebels who drove in the chariots, maybe some of the rebels wore mechs and exoskeletons to escape. Simon turned off the lights, slowed down, saw the fire and blood, naked and bare on both sides.
"What the hell is in here?" Simon seemed to be talking to himself, and the mecha system was silent for a while, no longer mentioning any "warning" and "detection completed." Instead, he replied cleanly.
"Allied East Coast Nuclear Bomb Shelters, do you need further information?" The mechanical girl's voice softened unconsciously, presumably acknowledging Simon's sudden double privileges.
"Say."
"The shelter is divided into the following areas, Zone A for accommodation, where priority is given to members of the Officer Seed Program, Zone B for the ecological cycle, and Zone C for storage...... The outermost layer is a radiation-resistant layer. ”
Simon was keenly aware of the phrase "officer seed plan", indicating that the government should have anticipated the risk of a full-scale nuclear strike, built shelter fortifications in advance, etc., and even prepared officer seeds, waiting for the ...... of rebuilding the army after the nuclear explosion, but unfortunately, the victory of the war was in sight, and it was really waiting for the nuclear explosion.
So Simon asked, "What is the Officer Seed Program?" ”
"This question is not within the scope of the system." The mechanical female voice said slightly apologetically.
"How much do you know about a nuclear strike, within the scope of permission?"
"This question is not within the scope of the system."
Simon sighed, a cacophony around the corner discouraged him from asking any further, and the sound of several engines vibrating indicated a squad of heavily armed rebels ahead. Simon commanded in a low voice, "Hide!" ”
The optical camouflage coated on the outer layer of the T-55 mecha caused Simon to melt into the rock wall, took out a detection ball, gently threw it around the corner, and the real-time image was immediately transmitted back.
……
"Open the damn door! Colonel Taylor! I command you! Open the Shelter Door! "On the left side of the chariot hatch stood a middle-aged man, carrying a silver star over his military uniform, undoubtedly a general.
The dark blue painted door of the shelter sits on the entrance to the mountain, and the metal texture is so thick that the towed door XM204 may not be able to penetrate it, four infantry chariots, and dozens of exposed rebels.
"General Hughes! Now the situation is clear! Open the gates, nuclear radiation contaminates the shelter, are we waiting to die for the country together? I'm so sorry! General, my men unanimously disagree to open the door! I want to follow the democratic opinion! An announcement sounded outside the door, and the person who had broken into the vault earlier naturally refused to open the door.
"The gate is three meters thick! A direct hit from a nuclear bomb can't defeat the shelter! Checkmate! Now that the munitions factory is gone, save your bullets and find somewhere else, maybe it's still too late! Confirming Colonel Taylor's words, a dense array of weapon platforms were exposed outside the rock wall, and crossfire could wipe out the enemy in front of the door in an instant.
Gas masks can't stop the radiation dust at all, so the exposed rebel soldiers have begun to hold on, and it is only a matter of time before the people in the infantry chariot die, and even the general himself feels sick to his stomach.
"Let's talk about conditions! Colonel Taylor! I'm in charge of overseeing the construction of this Vault, and I have the supreme command, and without my authority, you can't access all areas of the Vault! You can't replace the purification core! Without me! You're going to die ten years later than I do! Let me and my soldiers in, and you're my adjutant!" When I die, I'll give you permission to take refuge! ”
The general shouted at the door at the top of his voice, the radiation gradually destroying personal health and sanity in an orderly manner, and the millisievert units on the Geiger counter climbed all the way up in three digits, once it exceeded 4000.
Lethal dose.
There was a brief silence on the radio outside the door, and when it sounded again, General Hughes replied, as if a century had passed, and the Vault replied, "The gates are opening, General, please pick your personnel." ”
The meaning of the broadcast could not be more obvious, everyone knows that more than one high-yield nuclear weapon has exploded on the East Coast, and there is no doubt that a full-scale nuclear war, nuclear radiation, and nuclear winter have forced survivors to hold on to shelter facilities for tens or even hundreds of years, with unlimited time and limited supplies.
General Hughes stroked his forehead, his eyes signaled to his subordinates, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at a few rebels who were not physically exhausted and crumbling, in the face of survival, whose life was not as important as his own life.
From the moment the nuclear bomb fell, the old world was gone.
"Bang!" The executioners pulled the trigger, the headless corpse fell, the door of the shelter slowly rose, and dozens of meters away, it was life!
"Assault Status!" Simon shouted, don't move now, and wait when! The jetpack attached to the T-55 suddenly activated, and the blazing blue jet gave Simon a powerful power, shaped like lightning, and jumped on top of a infantry chariot in an instant, grabbed the machine gunner and threw it, and forcibly pulled out the vehicle's cannon, and the monitor detected that someone had raised an anti-armor bazooka.
"Enter an overload state!" The mechanical female voice reminded that the AATS chip carried in the T-55J mecha was instantly activated, and the incomparable computing power was poured into the system, Simon's eyes strangely turned into extremely clear blue, for him, the speed of time was instantly reduced, so low that he clearly calculated how many bullets and shells were firing at him, those that could be avoided, and those that could be destroyed directly!
"Drive in! Drive in! "The mecha that came out of nowhere suddenly broke in, General Hughes even saw the T-55 slap away the rocket with a palm, the mecha against the infantry, it was pure slaughter, and what was even worse was that Colonel Taylor roared and ordered his subordinates to fire, I was afraid that he would misunderstand his sincerity, but at this time I couldn't control too much, General Hughes kicked the driver's seat at his feet and roared angrily.
The infantry chariot ran over the speed bump and roared straight into the depths of the shelter, causing the various instruments to rattle, and Colonel Taylor dodged the infantry chariot in shock, pulled the intercom, and shouted frantically: "Shut the door!" Close the door! Weapons fire! We've been raised by these bitches! ”
The weapon terminal outside the shelter door immediately opened fire indiscriminately, and the 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet instantly killed all the rebels outside the infantry tank, and even the thin armor steel of the infantry tank could hardly hold out for long.
The overload state could not last long, Simon knew the defense limit of the T-55 airborne mecha, and tore off the door of the infantry chariot to temporarily use it as a shield, Simon shouted to turn the mecha to the maximum power, and ran forward against the rain of bullets, but the shelter gate could be raised to the top and landed again.
Simon slammed the car door, dropped the recoilless gun behind him, the sparse jetpack, and the M3 machine gun unmounted, his pace was maximum, his heart beating loudly under the effect of the cardiotonic, the door of the shelter immediately touched the ground, Simon bent his knees and slid the shovel, and the ground grinded out a long string of sparks.
"Bang!" The door of the vault fell with a bang, and outside the door, there were empty corpses, and the old world was rotting.
