Old Testament Chapter 101. Schiller's Collected Works
"CVN-72, USS Lincoln nuclear-powered aircraft carrier? If I remember correctly, in 2047, before the war broke out, the 59-year-old old guy had already been transferred to the reserve, and in the first stage after the start of the war, the Lincoln was reorganized into the Second Fleet of the Atlantic, and while transporting supplies, it was attacked by an imperial nuclear submarine anti-ship missile, and the large damaged pipe was hauled back to the Bath Steel shipyard, am I right, Josephine? Vice Admiral Williams vividly recalls the treasures of the Navy, even though he was a vice admiral.
"You're not bad at all." Astrid said that the unsightly little cow was gone, and she didn't have to be so tight anymore, and she was a little lazy, and her weight was on her right foot. "The logbook is not at all in line with the maintenance records of a conventionally powered freighter, its crew is rated to far exceed the demand for a new generation of freeships, and the sappers did not chisel the power hatch with welding torches, and I owe a debt of gratitude to the manufacturer of the hatch." Astrid collected video chips of herself, Major Conway, and several fallen Marines, and placed them in the video slot. The holographic screen suddenly went black, showing the final image of the commander of the landing team.
"I feel like the atmosphere is weird, Stephen's situation? Where did this kid go? "The Marine Corps is only equipped with basic infrared night vision devices, which are still the ones that have been eliminated by the Maritime Patrol, and Rao is so, and it is enough to see clearly. The commander entered the lower compartment of the freighter, and to the place of death, the Marines divided a few people to check the power compartment, and then the exclamation resounded through the headphones.
"Stephen? Harrington? Back? What's going on over there? Please reply? The commander pressed the intercom and shouted. Poor fellows. Astrid watched pityingly. The ghost that followed the sound annihilated the Marines in five seconds, leaving only the last man who was a few steps slower to escape, apparently luck did not last long, and the last man died on the way to the exit.
"This is our eyepiece camera." Astrid intercepted a close-up of a Marine killed and threw it into a pre-stored file, while she played a shot of Major Conway and the first sapper to be attacked. In the sapper's eyepiece, a glow-green glow slowly floated out of the cabin, and she magnified it to capture the ghostly image in human form. "Look there, sir." The sapper raised the muzzle of his gun and looked at the ghost in small steps suspiciously.
"The soul fire of the dead, I guess." Major Conway leaned at the ghost, a dazzling ionic halo that sent out a light firework. Sir! That's coming! The ghost suddenly accelerated, and the sapper pressed the trigger, but the bullets passed through the body without exception. A sledgehammer smashed the sapper into the air.
"Armor-piercing shells! Hit hard! The lieutenant general's eyebrows furrowed, and the general watched as the ghost killed the sappers like a home run, and Major Conway and his companions dropped their flamethrowers and fled. But in the picture of Astrid Squad, the ghost passes through the special operators, as if there is not a person in front of them, but air.
"As you can see, this is a humanoid ghost, and the way it kills soldiers with two types of equipment is obviously different, this is my first feeling after watching the video, and ......" Astrid recalled the screenshot of the video, pointed to the unusually frozen face, and said: "There is no ballistic trauma, no explosion damage, not even any internal bleeding, and their state of death is clearly the sight of people frozen to death in the cold moon." All the shots that captured the face of the deceased were all like this, the face was blue and black, the pupils dissipated instantly, and the beard hung with fine frost, and he looked like he was frozen to death.
"The Captain's Diary mentions Project Hundred Shadows, and the large hatch I met in the deep cabin ......" The screen focuses on the Captain's Diary as she runs into the ceramic room. Unless it's an enamel glass factory, why do you need so many ceramic pieces? The main material of the explosion-proof armor of the combat engineers is high-hardness ceramic, while the task force is made of Kevlar composite fiber inserts. There is reason to believe that ceramics have some degree of hindering ability to ghosts, and for four or five hours, I hid under the ceramic cover, and the ghosts were close but did not notice me. "In the end, the power hatch and the deep compartment door were across the holographic screen." The ghost has a humanoid form, a certain sense of autonomy, and is subject to the law, so I believe that a top-secret psychic weapon experiment was carried out on the Balaton freighter, and I suggest a deeper investigation, once the control of the ghost is grasped, the local manpower advantage will be lost. Astrid stood tall and reported loudly.
The lieutenant general stroked the blanket on his lap and pondered for a moment, Astrid no longer posed as a favored student in front of the teacher, I am Astrid Theresa Andrea Josephine, the last heir of the Joseph family. I am the human incarnation of Valkyrie.
General Williams said: "You have done a good job, Josephine, you bring back the information that the joint meeting wants to get, and you will leave for headquarters tomorrow, and your suggestions and experiences should be reported directly to the chairman of the joint meeting, Admiral Tyran, and the chairman will decide where to go next, good night, Josephine." ”
Subsequently, the general cut off unilateral communications. Astrid flicked her short hair and brushed her sideburns, her high-top combat boots stepping over the expensive, force-adjusted holographic tiles. "You're not afraid to make the general rest? As far as I know, the generals are old. Major Conway leaned against the door of the MIL, the ceiling light in the hallway dimmed, and the sound of Astrid's boots striking was lit up. She looked at the two things that the non-mainstream kid was carrying, a lunch box and a book. Major Conway handed over the lunch box, which contained today's officer's ration - pea puree steak. "Mepot is no better than the headquarters of Half Moon Bay, the cafeteria closes after ten o'clock, no matter the soldier or officer, take it, you haven't eaten for a day."
"You keep it, I don't eat other people's leftovers." Astrid has her hands in her trouser pockets, and it feels good to change back into a military uniform, especially the red trouser line, have I ever had a childhood? She asked herself. "Oh, I found this at a thrift market when I was teaching myself German." On the lunch box is a book, Schiller's Literary Works
I may have been a girl, but I wasn't a girl. Astrid walked towards yesterday's room, and the Major stood still, and he could see that he was a little sad. So Astrid stopped, leaning slightly, the wind clasped firmly, and put her hands in her pockets. "By the way, a proud and strict Germanic father would not allow his daughter not to read Aryan literature."
The next morning, Astrid stood at the stern of the ship, and the patrol boat's gas turbines provided surging power for the 360-ton iron tortoise. The patrol boat sailed out of the dock of Mayport under the protection of the fortress artillery, the water was dark red, floating with the corpses of the sea monsters attracted by the patrol boat yesterday's night return, and in the distance there were several attack speedboats swimming on the surface of the sea, and the trawlers were fishing for the corpses of these mutant creatures. "We usually eat this?" Astrid's throat moved, and a giant alligator more than three meters long was hoisted onto the ship's amidships.
"It varies from person to person." The boatswain was standing right beside Astrid, and the sea breeze lifted the white streamers of the crew's hats. Zephyr? She thought that the boatswain pointed to the giant crocodile and said: "The meat of the crocodile is dry and astringent, and it is generally used as fodder or as rations for the punishment camp, and the eel tastes great, and it is roasted for a while, sprinkled with salt, and the meat is prickly and tender, and the crew eats this." As for that......" There was cheering and the rattling of cranes overwhelmed by the sea. A cavity dragon is being hoisted into a landing ship, the big creature stuffed with the soldiers' cabins. "This is a juvenile, the adult cavity dragon has to be transported by a helicopter cruiser, I have seen the overhead photo, the huge pure black leather, our military hat, belt are made of cavity dragon skin."
"What about the others?" Astrid reached out of his trouser pocket for the telescope, the cavity dragon was a harmless large fish before the war, the shark. Although it has a length of about 10 meters and a weight of 15 tons, the great white shark is a small point compared to it. Lao sharks usually live on mayflies and maintain an indifferent attitude towards the world. Evolved into a cavity dragon, its habits may not have changed much, but humans can no longer afford its indifferent attitude.
"Other? The dorsal fin is boiled and drunk, and the first-line combat ships and reaction troops are preferred, and the remaining parts are more unpalatable than the meat of a crocodile, and they are minced for fertilizer. "Another hollow dragon hatchling was hooked, and the boatswain slapped his palm, and immediately realized that the officer was on his side." Anyway. Astrid took off her military hat and exclaimed, "That's why our land is so fertile. ”
The patrol boat sailed close to the coast along the route it had taken, and on more than one occasion, the crew used M2HB machine guns to drive away alligator colonies. The "Typhoon-class" missile patrol boat headed for the headquarters base in Half Moon Bay at a speed of 35 knots, and when the sun was setting in the west, the patrol boat anchored in Charlotte Harbor. This is one of hundreds of supply stations in the base circle of the Southern Bay.
"Sir, it's time for us to get off the ship." The first mate invited Astrid. For the first time, she walked into a naval outpost in the new era, and except for the bunkers and ramparts built on the ground, the rest of the warehouses, fuel tanks, and administrative buildings were all built underground. Go deep through a deep spiral escalator. This is not a Mepot ground base that generates electricity from the power components of the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but a secondary outpost that generates electricity from diesel engines, wind towers, and solar panels, even though Astrid is a major and a designated mech commander. She also did not have the right to use the lift platform without permission.
"What's outside the door? Zombie? Astrid stroked her blonde hair, catching a glimpse of the humanoid creature beyond the high-powered searchlight. She asked the head of the outpost, and Captain Merlist shrugged, gentlemanly relinquished his position in the back to Astrid, and said, "Oh, the thugs in the neighborhood are always trying to steal reserves from the outpost, listen, aren't they just gone?" ”
Astrid listened to the sound of sniper gunfire one after another. "I shot three! Just wait to lose me a pack of cigarettes! "The soldiers at the watchtower are shooting targets. "Good," she said. ”
