"Now that you have a nuclear bomb in your hands, what are you going to do next?" The middle-aged man asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Intended?" The colonel raised his eyes.

"Of course, just like when the United States threw the atomic bomb to the Japanese as soon as it was built, the weapon can only reflect its value when it is used." The middle-aged man nodded, "With your temperament, shouldn't you pour this thing into rocket artillery to bomb the entire city of Shanghai next?" ”

The old man didn't speak, he squinted at the potion on the table, his expression was playful.

"Do you remember how we used to deal with the Hunters?" The old man said slowly, "In the era when human strength was still relatively strong, we had heavy mechas, tanks and bombers, and thousands of troops...... It was truly an invincible iron fist, and despite the severity of the situation, no one would have believed that we would be defeated at that time. ”

Sean smiled.

"Indeed...... We have the ability to go to the moon, dive into the deep sea, and even master the energy inside the nucleus, how can the hunters be nothing more than a bunch of mutated monsters, how can they confront the powerful human society? "More than a dozen heavy armored divisions have swept across the North American continent to purge the infected, and all of humanity has cheered for their brilliant achievements." Everyone thought that the doomsday virus was just a small episode in human history, like smallpox, which would eventually be defeated by humans......"

"Humanity's failure is its own problem." The middle-aged man sighed, "Chaos and panic have destroyed human society from within......"

"No...... I'm not talking to you about sociology. The colonel interrupted him by shaking his head, "I'm talking about tactics. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned, tactical problems?

"Who do you think will win a heavy assault mech against a marauder?" Sean asked.

The middle-aged man groaned, "Marauder." ”

"If a heavy mechanized synthetic battalion meets a group of marauders, who will win?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, "...... Heavy mechanized infantry composite battalion. ”

The so-called heavy infantry composite battalion is a kind of establishment widely used by the armies of all countries in the world in those years, this kind of composite battalion mainly includes four heavy attack mechas, four light support mecha and four infantry fighting vehicles, each infantry fighting vehicle carries twelve infantry, this heavy composite battalion has the most effective weapon match against hunters in the whole war, eight mecha and forty-eight infantry cooperate with each other, and there is no flaw in attacking and retreating and defending, except for relying on the overwhelming sea of corpses to eat them hard, there is no second means of defeat.

The colonel nodded, "In the early days of the war, all the heavy troops in the world used the formation of heavy mechanized infantry composite battalions, and the army acted in synthetic battalions, and hunters were not opponents at all. The army will not entangle with the hunters, they will directly cover the bombardment of the streets with artillery fire, and then force the hunters out to make a sieve...... So in the early days of the war, the human army was all-round superior. ”

"It was 2032, when I was working as a staff officer in a heavy division in Bangalore, India, and our troops were overwhelmed in battle." Sean continued, "Until I received the first report of the total annihilation of the Synthetic Battalion. ”

The middle-aged man frowned, he was not in the military and political system a few decades ago, ordinary people only know that the army suffered a crushing defeat against the hunters, but the tactical details are not known to outsiders, Maxwell Sean was in the United States Marine Corps back then, he can get first-hand information.

"At first, we didn't care, but then there was more and more information about the defeat, and the heavy troops were constantly broken by the hunters...... The chain of command began to panic, and we realized that the Heavy Composite Battalion was no longer as effective as it once was. ”

"Didn't you say the synthetic battalion is invincible?"

Sean shook his head, "I don't know what's going on...... But we can perceive a huge change in the enemy, the previous hunters were just monsters with low IQ, and the army dealt with them as easily as hunting. But from that year on, the hunters began to attack in an organized manner, they had a clear division of labor, they were as disciplined as the army, and even learned to use stratagems, the command could not turn the corner, they still acted according to the previous tactics, and as a result, the hunters counterattacked in a targeted manner, the army suffered heavy losses, and the human vitality was greatly damaged, and they were forced to switch to strategic defense, and the army no longer took the initiative to attack, and everyone retreated into the safe zone. ”

"What do you mean...... Hunters learned to fight in groups decades ago, and even used stratagem? The middle-aged man was staggered, and he still thought that the last time the red-eye invaded the academy was the first time that the hunter used tactics.

The old man nodded.

"I was more shocked than you were at the time, and it almost turned my worldview upside down." "I realized that the other side was not a mess, they were an organization, they were an army, but how was that possible?" Hunters' brains are not as big as walnuts, how can they possibly comprehend complex commands and tactics? ”

"The hunter broke through the limits of biology, and this problem bothered me for a long time, until last year, when the academy was invaded, and the hunter once again showed great cunning...... That's when I figured it out. Sean continued, "Red-Eye's brains are very simple, and they are also not good enough to understand tactics and stratagem, but they can act together under the control of the killer, which means that the lower hunters can act under the control of the higher level hunters. ”

The middle-aged man nodded, he also knew that the fact that the hunters were able to act together since the last time the academy was invaded had been widely known.

That is to say...... Back then, the hunters' collectivization was manipulated by higher creatures. Sean said slowly.

"A Killer?"

The colonel took a deep breath, "There are indeed killers...... But the killer is the manipulated party. ”

"What?!"

The middle-aged man changed color, and he immediately understood what Sean's words meant...... A high-level hunter has the ability to control a low-level hunter, but isn't the killer the highest-level hunter currently known? What can manipulate the Killer?

Sean made eye contact with the middle-aged man and sighed softly.

"I was terrified when I thought about it, I was scared...... Because I realized that more than ten years ago, we had fought against a creature that humans could not comprehend and unimaginable, and had the ability to control the killers, what kind of monster should it be? The old man let out a sigh, "We can't deal with the Killers, so what should we do in the face of the enemies above the Killers?" ”

"This big disparity in power makes me very uneasy, because I can't find a way to deal with it, if that thing does show up...... We can only sit back and wait. ”

The middle-aged man sat on the sofa, and the red wine was on the coffee table, but he didn't have the heart to move...... Sean's confiding news is undoubtedly bad news, it is really a wave of unsettled, one mountain is higher than the other, the killer is already desperately powerful, and now the colonel tells him that there are more terrible monsters in the world than the killer.

Damn it...... This fucking world, still don't let people live?

"Is there really such a monster?" The middle-aged man whispered, "Lurkers, Marauters, Killers...... One more, what should it be? ”

"A hunter who is higher than a slayer, then he must be the emperor of hunters, right?" The old man said, "It should be called a 'king.'" ”

"The king ......" the middle-aged man repeats the word.

"The existence of the king was confirmed, and I lost confidence for a while, and I thought that there was no longer a future for mankind." The Colonel leaned over and held the flask in his hand, "But the appearance of White Gin has given me some confidence, and we finally have the ability to fight against the king, which is our killer weapon...... In the unlikely event that one day we have to face a monster like the King, we will have the courage and ability to fight to the death. ”
