"First of all, why I know your identity, it's simple, because I've been in contact with your intelligence department, and it's been a while."

The first sentence left me dumbfounded. Do the high-ranking cadres of the "Viper" have dealings with the Ministry of Intelligence? Is it a betrayal? Or is he the same as me? There are only two answers I can think of. But these months of life in Viper have taught me that none of this is possible.

But if you think about it carefully, this is the only way to explain everything. Why did the follow-up work go smoothly as soon as the Intelligence Department took over the task of extermination? Why the Ministry of Intelligence was able to manipulate the battle in Area F; why the actions in the town of Zayesibi were perceived by the Ministry of Intelligence; Why does the Ministry of Intelligence have information that even the personality of an individual can grasp; Why did Tren show up in time when Milmilli interrogated me...... And so on and so forth, that's all there is to it.

I adjusted my thinking and allowed myself to accept this unaffirmable fact.

"When did this happen?"

"In March, someone from your intelligence department and I exchanged contact information. He's an acquaintance of mine. ”

"Why did you join forces?"

"That's not the point. The point is, why can the 'viper' exist for so long with me, a traitor. ”

yes, why?

"Strictly speaking, I'm not a 'viper' person. You should have noticed that behind the 'Viper', there is a much larger organization. Some of my members and I have been sent by the group to monitor since the time they were called 'Black Scorpions'. ”

I believe this, after all, I have seen more than once in public that the attitude of the "snakehead" towards him is obviously different from that of others.

"Now, the mission of the 'Viper' is over, and it is best to let it be destroyed, so that it will not only cut off our worries, but also give your intelligence department a meritorious service, which is the condition I negotiated with him. And in order to show my sincerity, I have repeatedly provided him with the movements of the 'Viper'. But I don't know what they think, so I have to send you. ”

"So, you've recognized me since the first day I entered Viper?"

"Not really. But if you choose that point in time to contact us, I'll guess if it's because your intelligence department is not at ease with me. At first they didn't admit it, but then I said I could help you, and they told you who you were. ”

That's where I get it all figured. Tren negotiated with the Intelligence Department, and as soon as the "Viper" mission was completed, Tren responded and asked the Special Operations Group to eliminate it. But the Ministry of Intelligence was afraid that Tren would change his mind, so just in case, he set up an insurance policy - that is, me. What's even more odious is that the intelligence department took the information provided by Trun, and didn't think about how to stop the "poisonous snake", but used it to calculate "nameless".

These bastards!

I cursed in my heart several times. But anger is anger, and if it were me, I would not easily believe the promises of the enemy.

"I can't be friendly with those guys. But I don't think they're rightly worried. You are also our enemy, so why should we believe you? ”

"Again, to convince you, I don't have any evidence in my hands. There is only one thing, and that is my personality guarantee. ”

Tren didn't shy away from the questioning look at me, and with a clear conscience, I actually had a hint of hesitation.

"That's the truth I'm going to tell you, and there's one more thing I want to apologize to you."

"Apologize?"

"The girl named Lily...... Actually, I proposed that attack, and it was also my idea to change the location temporarily. At that time, both Mirmiri and the 'Smuggler' were suspicious of you, and I wanted to use this to relieve your stress. It's just that I didn't expect that you would actually report to your superiors, and I didn't expect that guy to do such a despicable thing. Anyway, I have a responsibility here. ”

He gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on his forehead, as if he hated the farce directed by "Snakehead".

"Is that all there is to say?"

"That's all. Me and my men are leaving the base now. Is your mission to capture the head of the snake alive? I advise you to kill him, even if he is captured alive, he will not speak, you will not know anything about us. ”

Tren walked to the door and pulled it open. When he looked back at me, there was a mockery that saw through my thoughts.

"And you don't want him alive either, do you?"

"It's not about you."

"Maybe. But as someone who has come before, I want to tell you, don't just listen, think about what is most important to you. There will be a period later! ”

Tren walked out and blended into the sparse crowd outside, leaving me in a daze.

What is most important to me? I remembered the Colonel's exhortations, and I remembered every day that lurked. Is it revenge? Or is it a task? Or is it something else I don't know?

One question after another popped up in my mind, and I wasn't in the mood to organize my equipment, just keep sorting out my thoughts. I want to get an answer.

The answer I came up with on my own.

*****

Time's up.

In 2040, the noise outside continues unabated. I grabbed my backpack and said goodbye to my dorm.

The first target is the power station on the sixth floor, and the defense system control room on the sixth floor, not far from the power station. Such control rooms are available on each floor and can manipulate the firearms installed on that floor to attack intruders. Because the defense system of the sixth layer has the largest attack range, it is specially equipped with a backup power supply in case of accidents, and it needs my "special care".

I'll go into the control room first. There were three men on duty here, who were eating around the table, complaining that they couldn't go for a pastime. Seeing me appear, one of them got up to ask questions, and I raised my pistol and shot him through the forehead. The other two were stunned for a moment, and then they fell to the ground, leaving a bullet hole in their foreheads.

Making sure that there was no one else in the room, I crouched down next to a bed in the corner, went under the bed and found an iron box with a lock hanging on it, smashed the lock with a saber, and took out an electronic card from the box. This is the key that opens the elevator to the seventh floor, and I put it in my pocket. Then go into the operation room of the defense system and disarm the defense system.

Before leaving the control room, I locked all the windows from the inside, locked the doors again when I went out, took out the simple microwave heater for heating food, and baked it on the electronic lock for a while, and it crackled inside.

As a result, others who want to get in will either have to open a door that has been scrapped and locked, or they will have to deal with a window with an iron fence and very good bullet resistance. There are at least 15 minutes left before the next shift change, and even if an anomaly is found, it will take a lot of time to deal with it, enough time for me to take other actions.

The next location is the power station. There are five people on duty here, playing poker, arguing over a few cards. I effortlessly shut them all up.

In the power supply room, I found the main transformer and installed a C5 remote-controlled bomb on it. This is not playing, I am in another power supply room, and I have bombs on all the backup transformers. When I left, I didn't forget to use the same method to make the power station a confined space.

In the last step, I came to the westernmost part of the sixth floor, in front of the elevator leading to the seventh floor, opened the elevator door with my electronic card, and walked into the elevator. This elevator is mainly used for the "snake head" to enter and exit, and uses an independent circuit with the entire seventh floor, even if the base power is paralyzed, it will not affect the operation of the elevator. I can take advantage of this in reverse, using the elevator as a starting point for an offensive.

When the elevator doors closed, I opened my backpack, took a minute to change my gear, adjusted my night vision devices, checked my guns, confirmed the magazine, and I had a grenade and a saber, and everything was ready.

The time came to 2055. I sat curled up in the elevator and waited quietly.

What are you waiting for? I already have the answer. Not only because of Tren's words, but he was just a catalyst, and I should say that I was already preparing for a series of violent chemical reactions. I was silent for a long time, I listened for a long time, and now, I want to listen to myself, I want to try once, to indulge my feelings.

Revenge.

*****

2100 arrived.

Gunfire and sirens rang out, and I pressed the detonator at the right time. A series of explosions rang out on the sixth floor, and the alarm was instantly silent. The base began to be chaotic, and even I could hear the shouts of the soldiers even in the elevator. The battle was fought, but that was the colonel's job, and I just had to complete my own mission.

Sure enough, the elevator began to rise. The guards on the seventh floor must not be able to sit still, and they have to go below to confirm the situation. But when the elevator doors opened, they were greeted by a pitch-black elevator and a green glow from night vision devices.

In a burst of strafing, I killed the six people in front of me, and immediately activated my legs and rushed towards the small building in front of me as fast as I could. The lights were on throughout the building, and I could clearly see a group of guards running out of the first floor.

"There is a situation! Fire! ”

They lined up in horizontal rows and fired in unison. I leapt over to the fish next to me, throwing the flash into the air.

As soon as they hit the ground, the flash exploded, and the guards became blind. I got to my feet, raised my gun, and shot all the guards who were covering my eyes and writhing around, and then continued to charge.

The "snakehead" must be on the roof at this time, and the stairs in the house are the only way to the roof. I changed my magazine as I ran, and as soon as I crossed the threshold, a figure appeared in front of me—it was Cottery.

"Hah! Well done! ”

Kortri's pistol-grabbing hand was raised towards me. Seeing him pull the trigger, I dodged a little, accelerated and rushed, my arm blocking my face, and resisted with the help of the bulletproof function of the combat suit. The bullet hit the combat suit with a muffled sound, and I felt like I had been stabbed with a knife, so large caliber. But only flesh wounds. Kortri didn't expect me to rush over and hurriedly backed away. I snatched it and pulled out my saber and slammed it into his lower abdomen.

As a front-line commander, Kortri still has two hits. Seeing that the saber was still a few centimeters stabbed, he quickly rolled to the side. I turned my back to him, but I knew he was going to shoot, so I jumped up and turned in the air, his bullets grazing by. I took the opportunity to hide behind a cupboard, and Kortri found a couch to hide.

The battle turned into a stalemate, and this is not okay. I distinctly heard the helicopter engine approaching, and Kotri had to be dealt with right away.

Bet on it.

I put the M6A on the ground, clutched my pistol, and jerked out from behind the cabinet. The gunfire from the opposite side rang out almost at the same time as I appeared, and the grinding against the combat suit made a sharp sound, so dangerous. I shot back. Cortry slipped back behind the couch, and I took the opportunity to throw a grenade. Kortri reacted so quickly that he jumped up and kicked Ray out the window. The grenade exploded outside, and Kotri continued to fire at me.

I dodged his bullets and ran to the side of the couch to try to take his position. Kortri simply abandoned the couch and ran to the cabinet where I was hiding. We fired at each other from a distance of more than 10 meters and completed the exchange of positions. I now turned my back to Kotri, and according to the sound of the gunfire and the direction of the bullets, I shook my wrist back with my left hand and threw out another grenade.

Kotri must have seen the arc of this thunder, and it would not fall near him, but at most fly over his head. So he shot with confidence, and that was my trap.

I rolled forward, jumped up, rushed down my head, and the moment I faced Kotri, I fired two shots in quick succession - not attacking Kotri, of course. One of the bullets hit a mid-air grenade*, which exploded right above Kotri's head, raining down fragments.

"Ah!!h

Kotri's screams were heard, and the shards wounded him. As soon as I hit the ground, he opened fire on me, for he was out of order, and if he didn't suppress me, he would surely die.

But it was completely useless. I anticipated his attack, landed and turned sideways, dodging the bullet while turning my body around, raising my gun and hitting him in the hand. Kortri's gun fell to the ground. But at this time, my pistol also clicked - the bullets ran out.

"Bunny! Don't run! ”

Kortri roared and drew his dagger, like an enraged bear, desperately rushing at me. I lowered myself and ran towards him almost as if I was on the ground, raising my hand and throwing the pistol in his face.

He knocked out the pistol, and it was this action that got me to his left side. Kortri swung his dagger in a panic, and I jumped to my feet, dodging it, and before I could hit the ground, I stabbed my saber and stabbed it into the back of Kortri's heart. He let out a scream that was even more terrifying than before. Landing on the ground, I used my inertia to pull out my blood-stained saber and slash Kotri's throat with my backhand. A white light, in exchange for a bright red, blood gushing like a spring. Justley collapsed in a pool of blood.

This is Tokar's self-created move "Cheetah Strike", which I used for the first time in actual combat today, perhaps because fate also respected my choice. Solving the last trouble, I picked up the M6A and walked briskly upstairs. With the sound of propellers getting louder and louder, I found him on the rooftop.

"Snake Head".

A helicopter slowly descended from above, and the "snake head" waved his hands desperately below. I didn't rush to replace the M6A in my hand with a launch tube, fill it with a small grenade and shoot it. The grenade plunged headlong into the cab. After the explosion, smoke came out of the cab, the helicopter staggered, and I threw all the bullets in the M6A into the cab, and the helicopter fell tilted, blowing up to pieces on the cliff face.

The life-saving straw in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the stunned "snake head" slowly turned around. When he saw me, he smiled helplessly.

"Sure enough, there are still ghosts, and I couldn't find you out, it's a real failure. But in the end, can you show me who you are, so that I can die? ”

I threw away the M6A and walked up to him, picking up the night vision devices with both hands. Night vision slips off my face as I stand in front of him.

He was a little surprised, but quickly regained his composure.

Ravi ...... No, it's supposed to be a pseudonym. ”

"See clearly? Any last words? ”

"Huh!"

The "snakehead" suddenly pulled his pistol out of his clothes, but before he could raise it, my saber slashed diagonally, cutting off his hand and the gun. I swung the knife diagonally downward, and both of his legs were cut open with two deep wounds that were visible to the bone. The "head of the snake" fell down with a wail, I stepped on his stomach, and the saber was raised high and fell heavily, piercing his heart.

The pool of blood beneath him continued to expand, and he didn't even have the strength to scream, but he still let out a faint laugh and words full of disdain.

"I'm dead...... You guys...... Don't think about it...... Found it...... Your Excellency, you ...... Anything...... No...... Understand ......"

I drew my saber, and the "snakehead" took his last breath.

*****

It's over.

The sound of gunfire is still incessant, getting closer and closer. In this case, there is no reason why we should not take this base. But at this moment, everything has nothing to do with me.

The hollow heart brings a great nothingness and spreads throughout the body. All sights are out of my sight, and no sound can reach my ears. I was isolated in my own world, motionless, dumbfounded, looking at the black hole and the sky.

In the middle of the night, I moved my steps, but I didn't know where to go.

*****

I am Akya Troshumi, a soldier of the Silver Wings, a member of the "nameless".

I obey orders, complete tasks, and never make mistakes.

I am convinced that this is my code of conduct, my way of being, and the value of my existence.

But, in order to complete the task......

I put my best friend in the daze.

and killed the girl he liked with his own hands.

In the end, even the task was not completed.

……

What am I fighting for?
