Volume IV, Chapter 15, December (Wednesday), December 2117
At this time, Xu Xiaoting looked up and saw that Bliss was standing on top of a car, and there were still a small number of giant bats flying in the sky behind him. They flew very low, but the anti-aircraft fire did not dare to shoot at them, as early as the Raccoon, the commanders found that the way they captured humans was to wrap them in their chests, and if they fired, neither the giant bats nor the people in their chests would live, and the purpose of this battle was to save and not kill, and no one dared to disobey the order and open fire indiscriminately.
"Are they still trying to kidnap people?" Xu Xiaoting looked at the sky and asked.
"They don't look like they're going to go." Craven also looked at the sky. But in his eyes, there was a trace of sadness more than Xu Xiaoting, "I don't know how many people have been captured by them?"
"They've already lost." Bliss smirked, "I'll make them pay back double." ”
"There shouldn't be as many people who were arrested this time as there are in Raccoon, right?" Casey said uncertainly, "Fortunately, this reinforcement is timely." ”
In a short time, the soldiers of the third squad had already received an order to start cleaning the battlefield: to clean up the enemy's stumps and arms, as well as the robot's stumps and arms, clean up, repair those that can be repaired, and scrap those that cannot be repaired. Except for a few squads on the battlefield who were still searching for the remnants of Cerberus, most of the robots were busy like cleaners, and the battlefield communication channels were much quieter.
Craven reported on the situation of the third shift, the coordinates of the loot, and soon, a military truck drove over and carried the loot.
At one street corner, the soldiers of the third squad killed two more Cerberus while cleaning the battlefield, and never encountered Cerberus again.
Facing the bright moon, Casey hummed a relaxing country serenade, saying that she used to hum it when she was a child, in the cool of midsummer nights...... Xu Xiaoting saw that Craven didn't stop it, and also hummed quietly.
Serenade, out of coincidence, Xu Xiaoting has heard it before, and she likes it very well, and she likes it after listening to it once, it can be said that it is love at first sight - humming this song, unconsciously, she remembered Yang Yiyi again, which is the feeling of liking it just by looking at it.
Time passes slowly in the moonlight......
When the alarm sounded again in the battlefield communication channel, Xu Xiaoting's charging level was just 20%. She uses the charging pile next to the street, the kind used by ordinary stand-in robots, and the charging is very slow.
"Cerberus is coming! Cerberus is coming! The battlefield alarm shouted urgently.
"From which direction?" Bliss asked.
"East, all attention," Craven shouted, "they're still coming from the Eastern Plains!" At this moment, at the feet of the people, the earthquake had begun to come faintly from the eastern part of the city.
At this time, in the command center of the six-pointed star, the commanders had just relaxed their nerves and tensed up again - according to incomplete statistics, nearly 40,000 of the 50,000 robots had a serious shortage of power.
"Airborne backup batteries!" In the command center, a staff member quickly thought of a method mentioned in the previous operational draft.
"Now?" Another questioned, "Is it still too late?" "Airborne 40,000 batteries, organized stocking, air transport, airdrop, installation...... It takes at least two hours.
"How many spare batteries do we have? Second Lieutenant, contact the Federal Reserve right away! "A senior officer gave the order." Note that it is a new type of high-energy battery, a battery that increases the explosive power of the machine, not the previous one! ”
"Yes, Colonel! I'll do it right away. The lieutenant replied, and dialed a phone somewhere, but the other party did not answer.
At the same time, from the satellite perspective, the Cerberus gushing out of Lake Mick is already rushing up the eastern desert plains of Las Vegas!
This time, if the enemy is still gathering in large groups on the plains, this is the best time to use nuclear weapons! The commanders of the six-pointed star building commanders have also seen it one after another, and the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will never come! How dare they gather on the plains again.
With fifth-generation nuclear weapons, there is no nuclear contamination! Five of the nuclear warheads were shipped to the Silver Country, but seven were still under the control of the Hexagram.
As early as a month ago, after the raccoon incident, the parliament of country A had already discussed the feasibility of using nuclear weapons on its own soil, but this issue was finally shelved! Because although the current Mader system can predict the landing point of the missile, it cannot accurately identify the type and source of the missile, what if it is a missile fired by an "evil country" to the mainland of country A?
Missile interception is a race against time, especially in the final stage, that is, proximity interception, any missile that will land on the mainland of country A is a hostile missile and must be intercepted immediately, where is there time to observe and calculate where the missile comes from?
Allowing country A to launch missiles at its own territory will surely break this prediction and make the terminal missile interception system become unresponsive!
Moreover, fifth-generation nuclear weapons, which use tactical missiles, are extremely fast, and they are not easy to intercept in the first place!
What if the missile was fired at the Hexagram building by a spy or a traitor? Can you give them that opportunity?
Never!
Generals, dignitaries, and presidents all know that even if the bill is passed, the launch of nuclear weapons will need to go through a complicated authorization process, which will not have much practical significance for the rapid changes on the battlefield.
10 minutes, this is the basic judgment time limit for the authorization of the use of nuclear weapons!
It was in the short space of 10 minutes that Cerberus had already poured into downtown Las Vegas again.
And at this time, if the launch is allowed, the nuclear bomb should still be honestly on the launch stand, and the opportunity has long been missed!
On the battlefield of Las Vegas.
When the black torrent of Cerberus entered the city again, the four members of the third class, except for the "dead" Raf, had already taken refuge in the building, and the city was cloudy and windy outside the building's window.
"Why not use nuclear bombs, they should have been used a long time ago!" Casey said again, looking out the window in the direction the enemy was about to appear.
Xu Xiaoting heard Craven say that there was no need to ask this question, just obey the order and pay attention to the enemy outside the window.
At this time, Xu Xiaoting was busy processing a power line inside the building, and she wanted to replace the power line head with a charging connector that could be used by the robot.
"Tang Dynasty beauty, I'm about to run out of power, can you hurry up?" Bliss said in a strange voice that he always likes to talk to Xu Xiaoting like this.
"Xu, you don't have to pay attention to him," Casey said, turning back, "and he has already secretly taken your spare battery to charge it while you charged." ”
Xu Xiaoting looked back at everyone and didn't speak - in fact, not only the electric energy of the robot, but also Sima Aya herself, who was in the stand-in operation warehouse, now also felt a little hungry and weak, although she didn't go to the battlefield in person, but playing such a "war game" for three hours in a row, not everyone's physical strength can be perfectly supported.
"Xu, hurry up and deal with the power problem, the superior has issued an order, you must defend it," Craven ordered, "I think everyone should know in their hearts that there are 100,000 civilians in Vegas, and it is almost impossible to evacuate and evacuate. Now, most of them are still hiding in basements and various facilities, and they may be frightened and hungry now...... I hope that those of us in Class 3, except for Engineer Xu, can hold on for a longer time and not quit the operation easily! ”
"Rest assured, Sergeant," said Brice, "as long as you don't ask me to quit, I'll be awake all the time, eyes open, staring at them." ”
"Me too!" Casey affirmed.
Xu Xiaoting also wanted to express her position, but at this time, there was already a dense sound of gunfire outside the window...... (He still didn't see me as his warrior, did he take care of me or was he suspicious of me?) Xu Xiaoting was doing the work at hand, while thinking about Craven's words, she was a little inexplicably unhappy, although she knew very well that her sincere purpose was to find Yang Yiyi, and she didn't want to have any special friendship with these soldiers of country A. , but always being "treated specially" obviously touched her competitive spirit.
