Chapter 1: Heroes
Remembrance: The Nightmare Chaser (1)
AD 2145 On September 3, more than four months after the end of the war, the East Asian People's Republic received a high reparation as the victorious power, and the Pacific United Nations had a new partisan struggle due to the loss of the war.
CARN was a great help in winning the war, so the government provided the company with a very high financial subsidy, and the agency was slowly controlled by the government.
Two years ago, the Raid on the Society of Martyrs was made public, and it caused a great deal of repercussions.
In addition, Fipoulos disclosed all the crimes committed by the Society of Martyrs and Section E, and the evidence was provided by the former Hexapon Corporation's Muyi and CARN Corporation's intelligence services.
Many mysteries have gradually been solved, but the "artificial new human project" has continued to be covered, and the whereabouts of Ron, the former deputy head of Section E, have not been confirmed, and he is wanted at the highest level.
War stimulates the development of science and technology to a certain extent, so Phipolos, as a neutral country, has developed far more than the post-war Pacific United Nations (PUN) and the East Asian People's Republic (ROEA).
The Philippoulos Military Administration is preparing to transport a shipment of vital supplies to the second largest island in the East Asian People's Republic by means of a new transport aircraft, Villand.
The islands on Velland, like Fipoulos, were formed by violent crustal movements in the last century, and are only slightly smaller in size than the total area of Fipoulos.
The island of Verland is a joint administrative area of the People's Republic of East Asia and Fipolos, and because of its black history, half of it belongs to Fipoulos and half belongs to East Asia.
The new transport aircraft is the K-2 developed by Fiplos, which can fly at a maximum altitude of more than 30,000 meters and a general cruising altitude of 15,000 meters.
Intensive material movements are underway around the military airfield, and motorized infantry equipped with gliding thrusters are circling around.
"What do you need to return to the universe, this thing is a huge thing, it needs so many escort troops." A man in combat uniform was in the military administration area, moving cautiously and observing it all from the surveillance.
"As in those days, no one is doing so under the guise of justice...... "The man checked his pistol safety and prepared to take aim," "I don't think this will happen again." ”
The runway required for the transport plane to take off is very long, and the entire cabin is filled with supplies and can accommodate 30 more motorized infantry, the models of these motorized infantry are all combat cavalry MK-II., which is far more than the active combat cavalry in terms of performance, due to the high cost of time and materials, only a small number of motorized infantry have been mass-produced, and the 30 motorized infantry in this transport aircraft is one of them.
The transport plane had already flown into the stratosphere, and everyone thought that there would be no accidents next, but they were all wrong and did not expect accidents from the beginning.
"The Alph02 system is activated.
The power is 100% full, and the propeller check is normal. ”
"The position of the thrusters in the structure of this ship, if you only need to stop the function and let it make a forced landing, it should be able to do it." The man activated the body in the transport plane, and then immediately turned on the stealth function to go to the power department.
Suddenly in the sky, the tail power thruster of the transport plane was seriously damaged and had to make an emergency landing, and no one at all found out what was going on.
At the end, the long-range camera captured only a footage of the mobile infantry falling, although it is not very clear, but the basic characteristics of the mobile infantry can still be seen.
"Mission accomplished."
—— ——
A year later.
AD 2147 February 14, Fipoulos was in the depths of winter, some time before spring arrived, and the bustling metropolis grew even more rapidly after the war.
Now it was covered with snow and ice, and the sky was still snowing lightly, and although it was almost early morning, it was still very dark, and only a few people were walking on the road.
The southern part of Fipoulos is now the most lively, and many residents have tried their best to move to the south because of the terrorist attacks in both the east and west.
The man walked on the street, wearing a gray-black trench coat, and the clothes he wore were still shabby E Branch combat uniforms, although the E Branch had been destroyed, but it was not because of the E Branch that the City was still wearing this clothes.
He came to the coffee shop, where the clerk had just started work, and he was surprised to see that someone had come so early.
"A cup of warm milk."
"Uncle, the coffee we sell here is not milk." A female clerk wanted to tease the stunned man, and while laughing, she helped him get him a cup of hot milk.
The girl had only been working here for a long time, and for the first time she had come in the morning to see a strange man, who seemed to be very interested in the one in front of her, and she sat down across from the man.
The man was just drinking hot milk, not even looking at her, and looking at the contents of the electronic board seriously.
"Hey, uncle." She greeted tentatively, "What's your name, do you come here often?"
"My name is Kecheng." The man said it directly and subconsciously without defense, but he didn't care about the girl's face and continued to look at the electronic board.
The name of Kecheng, he seems to have not said it for a long time, and even feels a little unfamiliar.
The girl paused for a moment, then looked down for a moment, and immediately burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Kecheng was intrigued by her.
"Just like you or Cocheng? He's a hero to the people of Fipolos, and he's been dead for almost three years. The girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Cocheng didn't say anything more, and after drinking the hot milk in the cup, he was about to get up and leave, but when he walked out of the door a few meters, he stopped.
And the girl in the coffee shop just now also ran out, watching Kecheng and another person staring at each other.
"Sister Xiyu, why did you come here so early? Aren't you going to work today?" The girl walked over to the woman's place, took her hand and said.
"What are you looking at this weird uncle for?" The girl asked the stunned Xiyu.
Xi Yu was carefully observing the man in front of her, the man in the gray and black trench coat, and her intuition told her that she seemed to have seen this person somewhere, but the reality was that she couldn't remember.
Ke Cheng didn't have any expression on his face, he just glanced at her, and walked away from here quickly, and when he walked far away from Xiyu, he turned around and looked at it carefully.
"She really hasn't changed anything from before." Kecheng sighed in his heart, and then slowly left here, his appearance no longer recognizable to anyone.
Although the mechanical eye on the left has been maintained, many functions cannot be used, the restriction system has been damaged, and it has not been repaired.
This café has only been open for a long time, and it is one of the few shops that has opened early this winter.
"Sister Xiyu, do you know that person just now, I saw you staring at him for a long time." The girl from the coffee shop came to Xiyu's place with a cup of hot coffee and sat down across from her.
"I don't know." Xiyu also sat down and did the same thing as Kecheng just now, opened the electronic board and began to read, "However, he is very special. ”
The city of Science has always been regarded as a hero by the people of Phipolos, and there are even many writers who have written many works for him, after all, the famous ones include "From Traitor to Salvation", "Hell on the Left, Heaven on the Right", and "Science City - A Tragic and Gorgeous Life".
The party Kecheng is estimated to laugh for a long time when he sees this, but he is regarded as a person who has been dead for three years, which also makes him a little regretful.
Sitting on a park bench south of Fiplos, he looked at the electronic board and read quite a few interesting things, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
On a poll on a web page, it was displayed "Is the city really dead?"
The vote was launched three years ago, on the day of the official announcement by the Philippos government, and until now there are still people voting, and at one time it was at the top of the list.
This day is also the third year that Kecheng has died, and Kecheng can't believe that he will be praised so highly. There was a magazine gossip website that even published new shocking news, which made Kecheng even more confused.
"Fifteen years ago, the hero who saved Fipoulos - Kono, and fifteen years later, the person who also saved Fipoulos is Co City, who is the descendant of Kono's predecessors."
Kecheng watched it for a long time, and now he knows how many nicknames he has, when he was on the battlefield, he was called the "Motorized Infantry Killer", he was called the "Human Cutter" by the enemy, and he was called the "Gray Death" by people in other institutions. ”
Although it has had many derogatory nicknames in the past, it is the first time to be called a hero, and Cocheng is still happy. He hadn't been to Fipulos for three years, and only in the last few days, and everything here, both people and things, was quite unfamiliar.
The only thing that accompanied him was the motorized infantry left behind by his father, the Shadow Sky Plus, although it had been repaired quite a few times, but the main core was not damaged. There have also been a lot of modifications in the appearance, the fuselage is gray, as if it is for starting, and the metal texture part of the body has also been covered with external armor, and the head and back have corresponding parts added, the purpose is to hide the shadow sky plus.
And, the voice that rang in his head from time to time, the phrase "Come, save me."
In the past three years, there has been very little information about Shiro's traces, and he will only come here for the last clue that he will return to Fiplos, and he does not want to return to this place of despair and pain for him.
But it's not like he hasn't come once in three years, at least last year he came, but he didn't really want to come, he just wanted to come and see his relatives, of course, from a distance, and he wouldn't go in person.
—— ——
A year ago, Kecheng's sister was getting married.
He didn't know the news originally, and the person who told him was Ye Ti, the eccentric young girl, and he didn't tell anyone the news of Kecheng's survival as an agreement.
On that day, the city of Science and Technology saw many people. I saw people I knew in the past, including Xiyu, Gu You, Xinyu, Mu Yi and others.
At that time, Kecheng had been watching from a distance for a long time, and he seemed to want to remember these appearances deeply in his mind, but he never remembered them, and finally had to leave here.
