Chapter XXXVIII

Long Xingyi excitedly hugged Andre tightly, the supreme general of the Soviet Union who he had known for a short time but had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"How did you get here? What happened to the Covenant? Long Xingyi let go of Andre before he asked.

Andrei's resolute face twitched slightly, sighed, raised his head and pointed to the door and said, "Alas! It's not their fault. I don't know where I came from, so I took advantage of our unpreparedness to carry out a surprise attack. Our fleet suffered heavy losses, and was finally forced to crash into the Skynet and make a forced landing on Earth, landing in the big city of this rice country. ”

"Then you should go northwest and find the communication station near here! How did you get due north? Long Haoqian stepped forward and asked.

"What's the use of finding a communication station? If the plan goes well, the Stygian Sea will also go to Mars with the civilians and the rest of the troops, how can they break through the enemy group and rush to rescue us for a while? Andre looked at Long Haoqian sideways, with a faint sadness in his eyes.

Lei Ling stepped forward, saluted first, and then asked, "That's ...... What are your plans? It's not a long-term solution for us to hide here. ”

After returning the salute, AndrΓ© pointed to the door and said, "When you first came, you should have seen Pierre's body outside the door." He had credible information that there was a sturdy arsenal on the outskirts of New York City, and that there were still a number of unactivated robot units in it before the evacuation. We want to activate the robot army to fend off these alien debris outside the door. But now, Pierre is dead, and he only tells us the general direction, but we don't know the exact coordinates. This is supposed to be a bank, so it is relatively strong and not destroyed by the plasma cannon. We had just been attacked by a strange beast, so we had to hide here to avoid it first, but we didn't expect to run into you. ”

Long Xingyi thought for a while and said, "It's a good way!" But as you can see, the enemy has caught up, and with their firepower, the beasts outside the door will be cleared by them sooner or later. We can't stay here forever, and now that the beast has a new target, is there a backdoor here? We secretly retreated, followed the direction pointed by Pierre, and continued to search north. An arsenal should be quite large, maybe it won't take long to find it. ”

Andre put his hand on Long Xingyi's shoulder, looked at Lei Ling again, and said, "I believe in you, friend!" That's all there is to it. I heard that you became an interstellar agent, congratulations! Looks like you're a lot stronger than you used to be! Andre said, looking up and down at Long Xingyi's sturdy body under his close-fitting suit.

"Then let's go! When you've driven the enemy away, you two can find another cafΓ© and catch up slowly! Ming Xiaotong, who was waiting on the side, finally recovered a lot of physical strength after a short rest.

Andre nodded and said, "There is a gap in the wall behind this building, we just blocked it with a bunker, and now we will quietly evacuate." Then he turned back to his subordinates and said, "Pack up and retreat." ”

The sound of gunfire outside the door continued, and it seemed that more and more alien fighting beasts were attracted by the noise. But the sound of the engines of the chariots and the guns of the soldiers is getting closer and closer. It seems that no amount of resistance can hinder their determination to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

"What is the purpose of such perseverance?" Shen Xiaotong pinned the two guns that had just been wiped clean to his waist and complained. Everyone was sorting out their gear, and no one answered her.

Andre and Lei Ling, each with their own squads, walked through the lobby and towards the back of the building. Long Xingyi took a closer look, and from the counters and facilities around him, it seemed that this was indeed a bank or some kind of exchange.

After a short time of walking, they came to the gap that Andrei had mentioned. Inside the gap, there are layers of counters, tables, chairs, benches, and some steel pipes, iron blocks, etc., and it seems that the process of building fortifications was still in a hurry.

Andre and Lei Ling gave an order, and the team members began to move away from the obstacles. Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting stood behind, drawing their lightsabers, ready to meet the strange beasts that would rush in at any time.

There was a lot of strength in numbers, and it didn't take long for the obstacles to be cleared. There weren't any strange beasts outside, and it seemed that all of them were attracted by the enemy's artillery fire, creating a great opportunity for them.

"Let's go!" Long Xingyi, Lei Ling, and Andre glanced at each other and took the lead out of the building. At this moment, I heard a loud noise in the direction of the hall, followed by the sound of the building collapsing.

"Quick! They blew through the main entrance. Andre whispered, leading the team out of the wall, followed by Lei Ling's team.

Long Xingyi swung his lightsaber, cut down the two nearest puppets, and ran ahead of the crowd. The team members behind him also drew their laser swords one after another, and while fighting with the sporadic puppets on the road, they followed the steps of Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting and rushed forward. Not long after the team ran out, the building collapsed, blocking the street corner behind.

A loud roar rang out from behind them, familiar to all, the cry of the Mother.

"Well done! Take your time! Long Haoqian looked back at the battle situation while running, and said gloatingly.

"Is that the direction?" As Long Xingyi ran, he turned back to General Andre behind him.

"That's right, 15 degrees east-north. This was the last direction Pierre told me. Andrei replied.

Everyone ran wildly in the night, and after ten minutes, the sound of artillery fire in the rear finally disappeared again, and the strange beasts in front of them gradually increased.

"I wanted to have the opportunity to travel to New York and see the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc., but it's good, the long-distance running of the rice country is coming......," Long Xingyi complained as he slashed the alien fighting beast rushing in front of him.

Yin Yuting also fought hard beside him, and said to him with a side face: "What you said is now behind us." What's the matter, or else...... Do you want to go back and visit again? ”

Long Xingyi smiled and said, "Forget it! When I went back, it was in ruins. ”

"What's so nice about the Empire State Building?" Andrei heard this conversation behind them, and while fighting, he said unconvinced: "Long Xingyi, when you come to our country, I will take you to the Kremlin!" ”

"There is a chance to ......" Long Xingyi said, swinging his lightsaber like playing baseball, cutting a alien fighting beast in two, and struggling to pop out three words: "Must go!" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, you guys! Thought it was two months ago? Hurry up and find the arsenal! Styx waved his laser sword behind them. Her sword seemed to be made for her, and the blade was as slender and dazzling as her slender figure. The laser beam was thin, but it seemed to be sharper, and her sword seemed to pierce the scale armor of the alien beast more easily than other laser swords.

As the night deepened, Andrei's troops, all dressed in mechs and night vision devices, followed the compass as they searched for buildings that looked like arsenals. I don't know how long they walked, but the ruins around them gradually thinned out, and it seemed that they had reached the vicinity of the outskirts of the city.

"Look closely, it should be almost there." Andrei guessed.

"You also have to be more careful, the terrain here is empty, and once you are surrounded by strange beasts, you won't even have a cover." Lei Ling also added behind him.

At this time, one of Andrei's soldiers suddenly shouted: "Over there! ”

The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a large building in the distance, standing lifeless in the dim darkness of the night. It was supposed to be a towering building, but after being broken by the blast wave of the plasma cannon, only half of the building remained, standing there in a strange shape. The walls were so blackened that they were hard to make out in the night, and if it weren't for the soldier's good eyesight, they would have almost missed the target in such a dim night.

It was blown up for miles, and only half of the building was left in sight, and it seemed that it should be there. A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in everyone's hearts.

"Let's go! We've lost too much time. Long Xingyi said, and began to run in the direction of the building.

Huge photovoltaic panels stood on the outside of the building, staggered by the shock wave, and only the innermost floors seemed to be working, but it was night, and they were lying there silently. The walls of the building were torn apart by the shock, but the main body and foundation of the building still seemed to be very solid. A half-shattered sign staggered to the side of the building, mottled with the words "Stark Factory" inscribed on it. It seems to be here.

Long Xingyi and the others ran to the front of the building, and after cutting down a few puppets and undead, they prepared to enter the building.

"Wait a minute! There are undead here, beware of devil bats hiding in the building. Yin Yuting prompted.

Andre and Lei Ling glanced at each other and felt that it made sense, so they told the soldiers behind them not to slack off. Long Xingyi used his lightsaber to cut a huge gap in the door of the building, allowing Andre's soldiers to explore the way first, and Lei Ling's team followed closely behind.

The building was lifeless, an elevator pipe leading to the roof, and now the building was half broken, and all they had above them was a ring of corridors and an empty night sky. Debris and computers were scattered on the otherwise smooth and flat ground, and in the dark corners, several puppets and undead felt the breath of the living, turned their heads, looked at them with lifeless eyes, and let out a strange "whine" in their throats, and staggered over. Most of them were wearing uniforms or white coats, and it seemed that they were all staff members here.

"Watch out there!" Yin Yuting patted Long Xingyi and whispered. Long Xingyi looked up, and sure enough, in the corridor of the top ring, he saw the traces of the devil bat. They were now hanging upside down the hallway, resting lazily.

"Andrey, you're in charge of shooting the devil bats. Lei Ling, let's kill the zombies on the ground! Quick. Long Xingyi whispered to the people behind him, and at the same time, in order to avoid alarming the devil bat with too high a voice, he also used sign language.

Andre nodded, gesturing to his subordinates, ordering them to each aim at the devil bat above their heads. Lei Ling ordered his subordinates to pick up laser guns or laser swords, ready to slaughter the zombies in front of them.

Long Xingyi raised his right hand, called everyone behind him to prepare, and then swung forward vigorously, signaling everyone to fire. In an instant, the building burst into flames, and Andre's team opened fire in unison, firing wildly at the unprepared devil bats. Lei Ling's team also rushed forward, cutting down one zombie after another. Many zombies kept falling from the upper floor, and just as they were about to get up, they were cut off by Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting with a sword, and fell down again.

It didn't take long for the campaign to end. The few remaining devil bats flew out of the gap in the roof with injuries, and it seemed that they would not die soon. Dozens of zombie corpses lay on the floor.

"Why are there still so many beasts and zombies?" Long Xingyi looked at the barren building and asked with some unhappiness.

"It seems like a lot, but on Judgment Day, all the big cities were crowded with fierce beasts, and after being purged by Skynet, the number should have decreased a lot." Andrei explained.

"Yes, the number of human beings has also decreased a lot." Yin Yuting looked around and said a little sarcastically.

"Where's the robot?" Long Xingyi asked.

Long Haoqian stepped forward and confidently pointed to a room on the second floor, "No matter where they are, we can find them when we get to the central control room." ”

The stairwell had already been sealed by rubble, and Long Xingyi shot out a spider silk, jumped to the second floor, and made a simple "spider web" with spider silk for others to climb up.

Everyone entered the central control room on the second floor, the room was pitch black, and Andre asked his subordinates to turn on the light source on the mecha to illuminate the entire room. A few mutilated robots, lying messily in the corner of the room, unarmed around them, seem to be service robots, destroyed by the puppets and immortals before.

"The building was badly damaged, and in addition to the fact that no one maintained it for more than two months, the main power was lost. To start your computer, you need to connect it to a power source. Long Haoqian analyzed.

"Connected to power? How to do it? If the building becomes like this, the line must be broken! Besides, those photovoltaic power generation things outside the door are not used at night! Long Xingyi said puzzled.

Long Haoqian still maintained a confident smile on his face, "For a large company like this, photovoltaic power generation must also need to be stored in the battery first, leaving a backup power supply." Look at me! ”

"You're still so good?" Long Xingyi couldn't help but begin to admire this great-great-grandson.

"That's, do you think that the commander-in-chief of the Hades Sea is surrounded by wine bags and rice bags? He has a double degree in electronic information engineering and communication engineering! Lei Ling stepped forward and said.

Long Haoqian turned around and said to Lei Ling: "Commander Lei Ling, please give me some manpower to help, I believe that in a short time, the building will be able to restore basic power!" ”

Lei Ling nodded, and asked the first mate to pick out a few staff members from the ship's engine department to help Long Haoqian. Andre led the soldiers to guard the first and second floors, Ying Xiaotong walked back and forth in the room with a curious face, and Yin Yuting also squatted next to Long Haoqian, watching him seriously drill under the machine to find the line. Long Xingyi reclined on a chair in the corner of the room, and then remembered that he hadn't rested for 24 hours, and before he knew it, he fell asleep on the table.

I don't know how long I slept, Long Xingyi was suddenly woken up by a violent shaking. He looked up and saw that it was Ming Xiaotong who woke him up.

"Don't sleep, don't sleep! The enemy is catching up! Ming Xiaotong said with an anxious expression.

Long Xingyi hurriedly got up and ran out of the central control room. Andre and Lei Ling were arming themselves in the building, and Long Xingyi stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" How many enemies have been found? ”

"It seems that in the battle with the fierce beast just now, they also lost a lot of troops, and there is only one chariot left, but the remaining troops are still more than us, and they are still well-equipped, and we may still not be able to defeat them." Lei Ling said as he leaned against the door.

Long Xingyi turned around and wanted to find Long Haoqian, but found that Long Haoqian was no longer in the room, and he asked Lei Ling in surprise: "Where is Long Haoqian?" ”

Lei Ling sighed slightly, "I've gone outside to find the breakpoint of the main power supply, it's been a while, I don't know how." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed in through the gate. Long Xingyi looked at it, it was none other than Long Haoqian. Long Hao grinned with his teeth, raised his head and said to Long Xingyi and Lei Ling, "I'll just say I can do it!" ”

"Hurry up and start the power! The fire burns the eyebrows! Lei Ling shouted anxiously and in a low voice.

Long Haoqian let out an "oh", his expression became serious, he climbed up the cobwebs three times and two times, returned to the central control room, found the electric switch of the main power supply, and pushed it up.

In an instant, the entire hall and the central control room were illuminated by the lights, and Long Xingyi just started to be happy in his heart, and he heard Andre sigh and say: "It's over, this time the enemy doesn't need to be found, we will be exposed directly." ”

Sure enough, the originally muffled sound of chariots in the distance gradually became high-pitched, as if a large army was slowly marching towards them.

"How's it going?" Long Xingyi was also anxious, and turned around to ask Long Hao.

"The robot program has been set up before, we don't have permission to operate it, I have to reprogram it." Long Haoqian kept busy working on the screen with both hands, and said without looking back.

"How long will it take?" Long Xingyi asked.

"Ten minutes." Long Haoqian's fingers were still beating flexibly on the screen.

"Five minutes!" Long Xingyi ordered, then walked out of the room again, and shouted to Andre downstairs: "Andre, hold on for five minutes!" ”

Andre poked his head out of the gate and shook his head a little frustratedly, "I'm afraid there won't be five minutes." ”

Outside the building, the alien chariot approached step by step, came to a place about 200 meters away from the building, and suddenly stopped. The tank raised its muzzle and gradually aimed at the main body of the building.

Long Xingyi gritted his teeth, "Nothing is impossible!" Then he threw a sentence at Andrei, "Fire cover!" So he put on his hood, jumped off the second floor, and rushed out of the doorway.

Andrei was stunned for a moment, then turned back to his subordinates and shouted, "Fire!" Cover! Lei Ling, who was on the second floor, also led the team to the front of the second floor, opened the window, used the wall as a cover, and shot out.

The alien army outside saw Long Xingyi rushing out, and they all raised their guns and aimed their guns at Long Xingyi. The vehicle also adjusted its muzzle again, and began to aim at the interstellar agent who rushed up single-handedly.

Seeing this scene, Yin Yuting seemed to understand something, and said with a somewhat wooden gaze: "Their target is not anyone else, but him." They just wanted to kill Long Xingyi. ”

"No matter who their target is, Long Xingyi is my brother, I can't let him die!" Andrei roared as he opened fire.

His roar seemed to wake up Yin Yuting, and she calmed down and said, "He can't handle it alone!" He also drew his lightsaber and rushed out.

Long Xingyi dodged the laser beam fired by the opponent, activated the aircraft, jumped directly on the top of the chariot, and then pulled out his lightsaber, parrying the lasers fired from all around, bouncing them off the enemy, knocking down several alien soldiers.

The alien soldiers fended off the building's shots while waiting for an opportunity to attack Long Xingyi. Long Xingyi relied on his battle suit to protect against bullets, ignoring the enemy's shooting, and swung his sword to slash at the muzzle of the chariot. One sword, two swords...... The enemy's laser beam hit him, and although he couldn't penetrate the suit for a while, the pain was still very obvious when such a powerful firepower hit his body.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Long Xingyi slashed the muzzle of the chariot with a sword. Just as Long Xingyi felt out of breath, the laser beam hitting him suddenly stopped. He looked back and saw that Yin Yuting was behind him parrying the enemy's attacks, covering for him.

"Are you crazy? Your suit is not bulletproof! Long Xingyi shouted.

"Stop talking nonsense! Cut off the cannon head and buy time! Yin Yuting swung her lightsaber left and right, agilely blocking the attacks of the enemies around her. Fortunately, the firepower from the building is also very dense, and the number of aliens staring at them has decreased a lot.

Long Xingyi relented, turned around, roared, and slashed his sword into the muzzle of the chariot. The huge cannon head fell in response, and the tank became an iron box that had lost its combat effectiveness, and only the two laser guns in front of it continued to fire.

"That's it! Fall back! Long Xingyi turned around and shouted to Yin Yuting.

Yin Yuting nodded, did a somersault, jumped over Long Xingyi, jumped directly in front of the chariot, swung his sword and cut off a laser gun, and then fought and retreated. Long Xingyi also did the same, jumped in front of the car, cut off another laser gun, and retreated with Yin Yuting in turns, resisting the enemy's powerful firepower and retreating to the building.

As soon as the two of them withdrew to the arsenal building, they saw Long Haoqian running out of the central control room and shouting something to him. But the firepower just now was too strong, and Long Xingyi was a little tinnitus, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all. But judging from Long Haoqian's excited expression, the robot can be activated.

Long Haoqian beckoned to him, and Long Xingyi ran two steps and jumped directly onto the platform on the second floor. Long Haoqian pulled him to the computer screen, and Long Xingyi was instantly dumbfounded.

I saw that in the warehouse under the monitor, thousands of combat robots were ready to go. Long Haoqian took Long Xingyi's hand and motioned for him to press a red button on the screen, Long Xingyi knew that it was the last step to start the robot, nodded and firmly pressed the red button.

In an instant, the red lights in the eyes of all the robots lit up, and they raised the laser guns in their hands in unison. The door on one side of the building slowly opened, and the huge robot troops walked out of the warehouse in rows, turned their heads to look at the alien troops in the distance, locked on to the target, and turned into battle.

The robot army begins to engage the alien forces head-on, and the humans inside the building can finally take a break. Beside Lei Ling, Ming Xiaotong knelt on the ground with weak legs, panting and scolding: "I'm just an agent, not a warrior!" ”

Lei Ling looked back at Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting, who were checking each other's injuries, smiled and said, "They are just agents." ”
