"5 a.m. Los Angeles time"

The three blue-gray third-generation motorized infantry continued to fly around Los Angeles Air Force Base at a high altitude, and PEN's defense system was unable to confirm and locate them due to the high strength of the electromagnetic interference field.

"Assault" is the third generation of motorized infantry developed by Timm Industries to specialize in surprise attack missions, and the number of the captain aircraft is 114, and he decided to execute it after confirming with Timm Industries many times.

There were only two and a half minutes left to prepare for the "Assault" "ignition" system, and 114 actually had sweaty palms when he pressed the confirmation button, and he could be considered to have deeply experienced the feeling of being full of evil killings.

In order to ensure accurate delivery, the altitude needs to be lowered, and once the altitude is lowered, it can be easily detected by the Strike 21-B team flying in the PUR cruise.

Therefore, the strategy of 114 is to let the other two planes abandon the fixed parts, switch to fighter mode to attract the enemy motorized infantry team, and then launch it himself.

His strategy also worked, and the two "Assault Troopers" in Fighter mode quickly became the target of Assault 21-B, and became entangled.

"The launch has begun, and the predicted explosion time point is between 0180 and 0240." 114 pressed the electronic board to confirm and sent a message to the other two machines, "Don't do any more entanglement, evacuate according to the predetermined plan." ”

"Understood, begin evacuation."

In the blink of an eye, the two "assault troops" suddenly emitted a white glow, and then their mobility increased dramatically, and they flew high into the air and evacuated, and their speed even shook off the "Swordfish 2 (1)" anti-motorized infantry missile.

"Note (1): The Swordfish 2 anti-motorized infantry missile is a weapon independently developed by PU for motorized infantry and other mobile weapons, compared with the generation five years ago, this missile not only increases the range and power, but also improves the strength of the anti-electromagnetic interference field, which makes this weapon a standard deployment of PU's bases everywhere."

After the "ignition" system of the nuclear fusion furnace dropped by the "Assault", the concentration of nuclear fuel will rise to the weapon level in a very short time, which would have been absolutely impossible a century ago, but it is not impossible now.

Under the action of gravity, this seemingly small box-like thing is only 0.8 cubic meters, and the metal on its surface is constantly heating due to the friction of air, and it is gradually already a meteor.

The outer surface of this small box is made of E-carbon material, which is why it can withstand high temperatures.

A few seconds later, the meteor slammed straight into the Los Angeles Air Force Base, and in the distance it was just a bright light from a mountainous area, which flashed for only 0.1 seconds at first, followed by a more intense light that even lit up the dark alleyways of the Los Angeles neighborhood.

5:30 a.m. Los Angeles time, a time that may allow the people of PUR to remember this day and the date of their "nuclear explosion".

The initial explosion caused by the "Fire Meteor" was nothing more than the shattering of a building that smashed through and exploded, and at this moment a violent shock wave and strong radiation followed.

The entire air base was reduced to rubble, all combustibles within a radius of 500 meters were burned out, and the windows of city buildings more than a dozen kilometers away were shattered by a strong shock wave.

The flames were soaring into the sky, reaching heights of more than 800 meters, and the people of Los Angeles, as well as the MAN Mobile Force and the Timm Industries, who were fighting in the waters of Los Angeles Harbor, witnessed the reddish, yellow, thick fire.

It looks like an apocalyptic scene from a movie, and it's a strong sound that spreads everywhere, but it's so quiet for some, it's so quiet for the Super Kraken and the pilots of Raid 21-B, and the members of the Timm Industries.

Both the members of the Timm Industries and the motorized infantry pilots stopped attacking, and involuntarily turned their monitors in the direction of the flames that were reaching into the sky.

Even Geralt and 091, who had been eroded by Egma's coordination system, stopped attacking each other, and the battlefield that should have been a battle was so silent at this time.

The infrasound waves from the nuclear explosion caused birds and animals to flee the forest near Los Angeles Air Force Base, and the fire that spread into the forest became uncontrollable.

"Mission accomplished, notify all motorized infantry to return and recover, and announce the intended recovery location."

"Captain, is this really good?" After watching the various tragic scenes in the monitor, Shirena looked at Scanos with some horror and said, "Have we become executioners?"

As the sun rose, PEN's Strike 21-B switched to fighter mode and withdrew from the battlefield except for the downed ones, giving up the pursuit of the Timm Industries.

The Super Kraken Three-Plane Squad and the 091-controlled "Heart Dream" also began the return process smoothly, while the "Assault" three-plane landed on the Timm Industries temporarily.

The only one who did not return was the "purple light" controlled by the city, and he looked at the various miserable scenes below the airspace with a look of disbelief, the Los Angeles Air Force Base could be said to have been razed to the ground, but nearly 1/4 of the city was also greatly affected, and the forest fires continued.

With more and more Strike 21-A/Bs cruising and Cruising Castle, he had to prepare to return, and he had now refused communications from the Tim Industries, and he didn't want to say anything to those people right now.

He was going to go to Scanos in person, and then sternly questioned and complained, and Corsey still couldn't believe that it was an order from Scanos.

AD2150 December 30, the events that took place in Los Angeles at this time are also known to the world, but there is no official response to the situation report, after all, there is not much point in presenting so-called evidence until everything is resolved.

PUR could never have imagined that a nuclear attack would happen to his homeland, and although it was not powerful enough to threaten the city, it would be a huge loss to wipe out an important military base from the face of the earth.

At first, the spearhead of public opinion was directed at the countries that possessed nuclear weapons, whether it was Fipologs, the East Asian People's Republic, or the Nordic military alliance, and the East Asian People's Republic in particular was the most abused.

Because the people of PU believe that the East Asian People's Republic is taking revenge for the war with BANG five years ago, and believe that this is an open provocation by the East Asian People's Republic, many media even say that the BANG military is going to carry out a nuclear counterattack against ROEA.

The small "ignition" system activated by the "Assault Troopers" not only ignited that potential nuclear bomb, but also ignited the country of PU and ignited the contradictions of the whole world.

However, BANG has not disclosed the existence of Timm Industries, which has made the people's sentiments more extreme, and for a time the "leftists" in California have become the target of a national crusade, saying that they are protecting the "enemy".

There are even people who shout a lot of extreme language in speeches and parades, such as "Stooges of East Asia!" "Traitor of the Federation! There are also people who accuse the PU military of incompetence.

It is precisely because of these voices that the BANG increase in military spending has been justified and has even become the hope of the majority of the people in the country.

According to BANG's official statistics, after the nuclear attack, a total of 28,500 people died, more than 60,000 were injured, and more than 1,500 people were missing, of which more than 26,000 died at the air base, accounting for the vast majority of the total deaths.

AD 2150 December 31, the last day of the year, was a pretty bad day for the city, and it was also the day when his disagreement with Scanos began.

He should have died a year ago, but he was forcibly rescued and let himself live in this world, Kecheng is not afraid of death, because there are some things he must do, and many memories that cannot be retrieved must be remembered again, and he also understands that those people on the Timm Industry have made a lot of modifications to their bodies.

This is the reason why Kecheng can't resist them, imagine how unwilling you are to die if you are completely in the hands of others, and you will die if you are not careful.

The nuclear bomb that the "Assault" "ignited" was tactical, and after special treatment, its nuclear radiation was very small, and the remaining nuclear radiation would also be reduced below the standard value within a week.

The city of Los Angeles has since been shrouded in shadows and has been known as the "City of the Damned", and it is a great irony that the people of PUR could not have imagined that the disaster movies they had made in the past would become a reality.

Since the order required Kecheng to continue to lurk around An Xunyuan and Luo Ran, the two siblings, according to the plan, he had actually vaguely sensed that Luo Ran had become the target of the "madmen" of the Timm Industries, and for Kecheng they were now "madmen", and only madmen would order the use of nuclear weapons so easily.

The date on the PUR side is still 2150, and for the East Asia side of Phipologs, it is a new year, and Phipros and Japan Hi-Tech Heavy Industries and East Asia have begun to celebrate the New Year.

Su Zhan got rid of the surveillance for three months, he has been removed from suspicion, and the rectified E Section has also begun to operate again, only the Hexagonal Star Agency is still being "tracked".

On this day, Kecheng went to the "Eden Island" in the northern new area, that is, the headquarters of the E section to get his official documents, or to get back the original things.

When he reopened the locker, countless memories and feelings immediately came to his mind, the blue-purple uniform of the E family, the logo of the code name E43.

Su Zhan didn't complete the agreement with Xia Gongyun, he didn't find Xia Luohan, but Xia Gongyun didn't blame him, after all, this kind of thing, and it happened that Su Zhan himself was also in trouble, so Xia Gongyun also understood him.

The streets of Fipolos were already covered with deep snow and light snow, which was a good time compared to the heavy snow at night.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and he didn't plan to go out, but remembering Tang Shu's invitation before, he agreed again, so he was hesitating at this time.

Su Zhan thought about it for a long time and decided to go out, but he just closed the door and turned around, a figure wearing a light blue winter jacket and a white scarf gradually approached him, which looked like a thin penguin.

When he was close enough, he was sure that the figure was a girl, and it was the person who invited him - Tang Shu.

The boy walked down the stairs from the second floor with a somewhat dull expression, and he walked up to the girl, paying only attention to her cheerful and smiling expression.

Tang Shu was holding a bag of things in both hands and leaning on his back, as if he didn't want Su Zhan to know for the time being, until Su Zhan noticed the question.

"How does it feel?" The girl brought the bag she was carrying to the front, took out the gray-blue scarf inside, and leaned forward to help him tie it with a slightly red face, "Do you like it?"

"Thanks, I think it's good." The boy replied directly, not noticing how close the two of them were at this time, or the crimson cheeks of the girl in front of him.

The girl turned around and sighed, then turned around with a smile, looked at him with a stunned face and said, "Su Zhan?"

"Hmm... Huh?" He only noticed his distracted and embarrassed behavior at this moment, as he stared at her in front of him and observed the present, and some panic after being discovered.

Su Zhan's crimson cheeks made her laugh uncontrollably, indeed Tang Shu had never seen Su Zhan with this expression.

"Su Zhan..."The girl took a step forward and said in a gentle and brisk voice, "Happy New Year." ”

"Happy New Year." He replied simply and straightforwardly.

How much Tuobi Nayin hoped that Su Zhan was sincere to herself at this time, and a simple and direct answer was enough for her.

She hoped that Su Zhan would not fall into a panic after discovering her true identity, although she felt that the dull and unenlightened big boy in front of her still didn't understand her mind, but it seemed good to keep the current situation, at least Tuaki Nai Yin thought so.

At night, Fipoulos lights up a lot of fireworks in the central neighborhood, and the whole night sky is quite beautiful, and people not only pray for the new year, but also for peace and stability.

Su Zhan followed Xia Gongyun's suggestion and chose the meeting place in the seaside area east of Fipulos, but when it was said to be a party, it was actually just him, Xia Gongyun, Xiao Li and Tang Shu.

At the barbecue on a winter night, four people chatted around the barbecue grill, and the three adults were the ones who talked the least, but fortunately, Xiaoli's clichés drove the atmosphere.

Su Zhan looked at Xiao Li's smiling face but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh that if Colonel Pullman was still there, would the little girl in front of him smile even more?

Su Zhan and Xia Gongyun went to deal with accommodation and other issues, and the conversation between the two girls:

"Sister, are you and Brother Su Zhan a couple?"

"Well, that's not the time being."

"Why?"

"I hope for it, but he seems to be ......"

Before Tang Shu's words were finished, the little girl was already drowsy and rested on her shoulder.

She stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Li closer to her, put the blanket over the two of them, and then closed her eyes and waited for Su Zhan and them to come back.

"These two little guys are really torturous..."

"And what do you say now?"

Xia Gongyun spread his hands and replied in a helpless tone: "What else, take these two little guys into the car, I'll take this little one, and your girlfriend will do it herself."

"What are you talking about?" Although Su Zhan said this, he still walked over and gently picked up Tang Shu, and then walked to the car.

She and Xiao Li both continued to fall asleep in the back seat, but Su Zhan, as the driver, never started, he was silent for more than ten seconds and then asked Xia Gongyun in the co-pilot.

"Are girls' bodies so light and warm?"

"Are you saying that Tang Shu is carried by you like a little sheep?"

"No, it's a stupid penguin."

"You kid said that about his girlfriend, if Tang Shu heard it, he would have to kill you."

Su Zhan had a smile on his face, he was indeed amused by Xia Gongyun's funny and humorous words, which came from the heart.

Xia Gongyun also felt quite surprised, he didn't expect Su Zhan, a boy with facial paralysis, to show such an expression.

He turned his head to look at Tang Shu, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and then turned his head back and immediately activated the car's system, but there were already ripples in his heart.

"She may have a vulnerable side, too..."

In fact, Tang Shu, who was in the driver's seat, had never slept, and when Su Zhan returned here, she had actually woken up, and she was picked up and thrown into the driver's seat without preparation.

After listening to the conversation between Su Zhan and Xia Gongyun, her lips moved slightly, and her voice was very low: "Stupid."
