20- Sunset Carol

A typhoon made landfall from the south. The sea water was like a train, churning all the time, and white water foam splashed into the air and hit the porthole again and again. Anyone who spends a little time on deck will be drenched in the sea – as Leopard Rees has personally demonstrated.

"Oh, damn it......" Leopard Rees fled from the outside, quickly closing the hatch - it had only been out for five seconds, and its clothes were half wet.

"If I stay outside a little longer, I guess I'm going to turn into a pickle." He said.

"Then who told you to go out?" Edo gloated and said, "Look at your retribution." ”

"You're still laughing!" Leopard Rees got angry, "I'll throw you out later, so you can experience this feeling too, okay?" ”

"Then you can do it!" Edo said disdainfully. Soon, he regretted saying it.

"Okay." Leopard Rees grabbed its wings with one hand and opened the hatch, and before Edo could react, he pushed him out of the cabin. A big wave happened to come over to say hello to him, and after "brushing", Edo's clothes were also wet.

"Ahemβ€”" Edo coughed as he lay on the ground.

"How's it going, does the sea feel comfortable?"

"Leopard Reese, we're even, ahem......"

"Okay two, our ship is ready to dock, this is a warship, don't mess around on it." Shi Yu said.

The ship's whistle sounded, and a black trail appeared on the horizon, which slowly rose from the rain, and the various scenes above became apparent. That's Wyke.

"We're coming!" Lana rushed to the porthole and traced the outline of the island with her hand.

"Well, here we are?" Fiin opened his eyes, his gaze resting on the two drenched men.

"You ......"

"It's his responsibility!" Edor first pointed the finger at Leopard Reese.

"Then you mess with me again!" Leopard Rees retorted.

"I ......"

"Okay, okay, don't argue, we're ready to get off the ship." Fine then muttered to himself, "I don't know what you're arguing about, though. ”

"Don't take it as an example." Leopard Rees said as he tugged at Edo's wings.

"Hmph, same words!" Edodao.

The boat shook even harder, and it took them a great deal of effort to get down from above to the shore, and when they put their feet on the ground, they still had some unstable center of gravity in their minds.

"Welcome to Wyke Island, Guardians." A lynx in a raincoat came up to them and greeted them, "I'm Ivaki Technologies Group Chief Executive and the new Lieutenant Colonel of the Combine, Cliff Una. He took off his hat and saluted, and the guards returned the salute. Cliff then took them into an armored car. It took about half an hour for the car to get from the port to the base. The base was built here by Ivacchi as both a military base and a weapons research institute.

"The smell of heavy industry is blowing in your face, isn't it?" Cliff said. The car drove into a large elevator, which led the car to the underground Outer Zone-Base junction, where many military vehicles, including tanks, were parked in addition to ordinary vehicles. If it's not wide enough, then these big guys can block this place.

"Both on the ground and here, our military is under a total state of siege twenty-four hours a day, and all vehicles and personnel entering the laboratory are screened to prevent the carrying of dangerous goods. We're going to have a big plan here. Cliff said, opening the car door.

"What's the plan?" Finen asked.

"You'll find out later."

"Since it's so strict, the things studied here are also valuable, right?" Leopard Rees asked.

"Of course! Ivac has invested a lot of money and cutting-edge technology here, and we can't afford to waste that resources. The weapons developed at this base are not like 'longswords', but are the cradle of many large experimental weapons, and the 'Leyer' underwater naval base on the west coast of the orc world is what we participated in. ”

"I think that Wu Qiming sent you here, in addition to sharing some strength, it is more for 'zero'."

"Zero?"

"You'll find out later."

They were inspected at the junction and walked into a larger warehouse, where a huge ship was lying quietly in the middle of it, with a few clusters of sparks coming out of its hull from time to time. Even with the addition of such a large block, the entire warehouse still looks very spacious, which shows the huge overall space.

"None of you have a monophobia, do you?" Cliff said, "What you're seeing now is the first real spaceship in the orc worldβ€”its name, which you've heard just now, is 'Zero'. ”

"Is this 'zero'?" Edo asked.

"That's right, we've been building Zero since June last year, and we've made a lot of changes along the way, but it's generally going well, and in a week's time, Zero will be ready to take off."

"Can it go to space?" Leopard Rees asked.

"Not yet, you still need to cooperate with the people in the space center to go to space, and it is estimated that the cost of such a spacecraft will be super large."

"And it's going on a mission?" Lana said.

"The war against DIVE requires its participation, and it will become one of the representatives of military technology in the orc world."

Leopard Rees looked at Zero's huge body, and the rope hanging from it was like the whiskers of a sturgeon, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart.

"Come with me to the control room, where I live, I have something to tell you."

They followed Cliff to the control room, which was located on the third floor of the warehouse, from which the top of "Zero" could be seen.

"In the next mission, you will have to go deep into the front lines and face an enemy force that is more ferocious and terrifying than before, because the combat area is no longer confined to the rear of enemy lines. It's no exaggeration to say that the DIVE soldiers you've seen before are nothing more than cannon fodder for these enemies. Cliff looked at the four of them and said, "But we also have advanced weaponry, which I will tell you about later...... Okay, you take the elevator downstairs to your resting place, and your name has been written on the door number for you. You don't have anything to do today, but tomorrow morning you get up at half past six and come to the control room, and I'll train you alone. ”

......

In the evenings, when Leopard Rees was idle and had nothing to do, he began to think of his parents.

"My parents used to work in Ivac." Leopard Rees thought to herself, "Maybe go to the library and look for it, there should be something about my mom and dad, right?" ”

He sat up from the bed, took the family portrait of the family of three from his backpack and put it in his pocket, then jumped out of bed and walked to the door.

"Leopard Rees, what are you going to do?" Edo and Fiin asked together.

"I'll go to the bathroom."

Leopard Rees walked out the door, searched the site plan next to it, locked on the location of the archives, and headed straight for there.

The archives were dimly lit, and several researchers in white coats were sorting through the materials they had seen. Leopard Rees avoided them and fumbled around the archives, and after searching the front to no avail, he walked deeper into the archives, only to suddenly see a red line appear under his feet, on which a small line of yellow letters was written: "You are about to enter the storage area of classified documents at level 3 or above, please be careful about all your actions and make sure that no followers can enter." Leopard Ris hesitated, then stepped across the line and into the depths of the archives. All the documents placed here have only three classic warning colors – yellow, orange and red. Searching in the dim light, Leopard Ris finally found where his father and mother's files should have been, but to his surprise, both compartments were empty.

"What about their profile?" Leopard Reese scratched his head.

"Ahemβ€”" A deliberate cough appeared beside him, and the blinding light from the tactical flashlight on the pistol immediately found him. He instinctively stood up, then raised his hands.

"Hmph, little thing, don't you see what is written on that red line?" "I was right behind you, and you walked in without even looking back." ”

"Cliff, I'm ......"

"You're looking at these two, right?" Cliff said, handing two film-like objects to Leopard Rees.

"It's ...... How did you know I wanted to see this? ”

"You're so-so in everything you do." Cliff then pulled out the family photo, "I saw it in the hallway. ”

"Oh, thank you......" Leopard Rees said embarrassedly.

"This is a middle and upper level document storage area, and if you want to see things here, you must have a special person to supervise them." Cliff said, "I'm one of them, don't worry." ”

Leopard Rees opened one of the boxes, which contained two reels of videotapes and several paper documents, and he pulled them out first, but he didn't see anything on them except for lines and lines of black bars. Finally, he closed the lid and handed it to Cliff.

"I'm done."

"Oh, so fast?" Cliff took back the box and said, "Looks like you didn't see anything out there." ”

"It's impossible for an average person to see anything in these documents."

"The army is not full of 'ordinary people.'" With that, Cliff put the box back in its place, and left the archives with Leopard Reese.

......

"We're going to the ground forces?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Guardians, we've identified a grouping above, and you've been assigned to the ground forces for the next mission, so you may not be able to sit on the ship for a while."

"Ughβ€”what a pity." When the rain channel.

"You're still the same task force, and you're still on a mission to go deep behind enemy lines, but remember what I said last time, you're going to face an even more dangerous enemy."

At noon the next day, the "Zero" officially took off from the base, and the ground forces had already reached the interior.

"Defenders, you are about to enter a place called the Buno Industrial Zone, which is the largest stronghold of DIVE in front of our marching route, where they have created a huge defensive system that will pose a great threat to the flight of Zero and the attacks of other ground forces, and your first task is to disrupt the defenses in the area so that our troops can attack smoothly." Cliff said.

"Roger!"

"Adrenaline, anti-radiation, analgesics...... It's all there. Leopard Rees said, looking at the small medicine box next to the pistol holster.

"Brother Shi Yu, you have just recovered in the past few days, can you participate in the battle?" Finen asked.

"How do you know if you don't fight? ......" Shi Yu said as he reloaded the magazine.

"Guys, we're leaving!"

......

The Buno Industrial Zone is lined with factories, most of them machine shops, which once produced the weapons they held in their hands. From the rows of chimneys, they saw a moon like ivory.

"This place is close to Lanxin City." Lana said, "That city was just reclaimed five days ago, and it seems that it is understandable that we should take this place down." ”

Suddenly, a bright light streaked across the sky, and the light flew fast and landed somewhere in the industrial area.

"The target has been eliminated, no other enemies have been found on the route, and you can move forward." Leopard Rees was crouching on the top of one of the chimneys, sniper rifle looking down at the entire industrial area.

"It's so small guarded here." "The reason why they can hold this place is probably the defense system." ”

"There are some automatic machine gun towers here, we need to avoid them, it won't be good if they are discovered." "The anti-aircraft weapons are all offline, and they need to be manually manipulated, and even if the system crashes, those things will still work." ”

"So what do we do about it?" Edo asked.

"Use some special means."

They dodged machine guns and guards and came to the interior of a high-rise building, which was the heart of the entire industrial area, and where the command center of the position was located. There weren't a lot of seekers around, so they easily made their way to the control room on the top floor of the building.

"This is the heart of the entire industrial area, where all hydropower operations can be carried out." Lana said, "Fine, bring your arc gun over for a moment. ”

"Okay."

"You guys back a little, I'm going to do something dangerous, and that's all we can do in order for the air defense system to collapse." Lana took the arc gun, opened the electrical box door in the main control room, and then shot inside, a powerful arc poured into the circuit, and with a "pop", the circuit in the entire industrial area burned out instantly, and the lights above their heads were extinguished at the same time. The alarm went off suddenly, indicating that the main circuit was no longer usable.

"Commander, all defenses are clear!" Shi Yu said.

"Do a good job of protection, the troops have set off!" Cliff responded.

The guards squatted in the main control room, and the DIVE soldiers in the industrial area began to attack here, Shi Yu took out a flare gun and fired a shot out of the window, and the red flare suddenly pierced the night sky.

"Artillery support preparation!" At Cliff's command, dozens of rockets flew out of Zero's body and poured into the industrial zone.

"I don't know where so many enemy soldiers came from, I'm ready to go down." Leopard Rees climbed down the chimney, but as soon as he reached the ground, a group of DIVE soldiers rushed out and surrounded him.

"Hello, Nicholas Leopardis!" A man in black walked out.

"Edo, are you alright?" Shi Yu shouted, but Edo's voice didn't come from the intercom for a long time, maybe Edo couldn't find time to reply. Suddenly, the wall in front of them was punched by a rocket gunship. Shi Yu tried to change the bunker, but was hit by a bullet in the chest, but fortunately he was protected by body armor.

"Guardians!" The enemy's firing suddenly stopped, and both sides shone flashlights at each other. The guards saw an orc dressed in black, wearing goggles and a mask, and holding a revolver in his hand.

"The senseless struggle should stop." He said.

"Who are you?" Shi Yu asked.

"You'd better care about your two friends first."

The defenders looked left and right, and found that Edo was nowhere to be seen, and Leopard Rees had not arrived.

"Where did you take them?"

"Catch? It's not a catch. ”

After a few seconds, Edo and Leopard Rees appeared in front of them, but when they saw the two, Shi Yu felt unprecedented shock - Leopard Reese's limbs were tied up, and Edor was standing next to him, stepping on his back with his left foot.

"Edo!" Shi Yu shouted, "What are you doing?!" ”

"He's just carrying out his mission."

"Are you crazy?"

"I finally understood it all today...... "Edo said with narrowed eyes, "it's all over." ”

The three of them were stunned, staring at Edo with wide eyes.

"You can call me 'Lord,' and if you find the name too difficult to understand, then I can't say anything."

"Our troops have already arrived here, and if you don't surrender quickly, the consequences will be serious!" Shi Yu shouted vigorously.

"Bang!" Edo pulled the trigger of the machine gun, and a bullet slashed past Shi Yu's ear and hit the wall behind him.

"Edo, you ......"

"It's painful to lose a family, isn't it?" Jesus said, "Now you have tasted it at last!" ”

A DIVE helicopter stopped next to the gap.

"When I get the pendulum, I get everything." "You've just fallen into the trap called 'Buno Industrial Zone,' and you really think I'm going to intercept the army, no, no, no, no, you're much more useful than these low-level troops!" ”

"Withdraw!" He and the DIVE soldiers got on the plane, and Edo grabbed Leopard Rees, glanced at the guards, and then followed the plane. He dropped the leopard Rees in the plane, then took off the Guardian badge from his clothes and threw it to the ground. The plane closed the hatch and quickly left the industrial area.

"Guardians, report your situation!" Cliff said.

"Shi Yu reports the situation......" Shi Yu's hand holding the walkie-talkie trembled, "Guardian member Nicholas Leopardis has been captured, repeat, Guardian member Nicholas Leopardis has been captured, and also, Guardian member Balk Zaka Edo has defected, repeat, Guardian member Balk Zaka Edo has mutinied!" ”
