Eri stood sideways at the top of the building, holding an XM109 sniper rifle, shooting from a standing position.

Bang - boom!

Although the helicopter is desperately trying to escape, it is still much worse than the supersonic high-explosive bullet.

Under the bombardment of high-explosive bullets, it caught fire in an instant, like a large fireball falling downward.

With a slight turn of his gun, Alley aimed at another helicopter.

Bang - boom!

The helicopter also fell.

Eri listened to the screams of the helicopter pilot on the communicator, without any expression on his face.

Ten helicopters, and in just ten minutes, only one remains.

The helicopter pilot was so frightened that he fled to the beach in a hurry.

The building blocked Eri's view, and at the same time, three infantry chariots had already appeared, bombarding the brood.

Ai Li turned his head to take a look, only to see that the blood volume of the brood had been reduced to 95%.

He didn't chase the helicopter anymore, turned around and jumped off the two-hundred-meter-high building, and after landing, the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians were scattered by the shock wave when he landed.

Eri ignored it and ran in the direction of the brood.

About five hundred meters from the brood, the first infantry chariot had already appeared in his eyes.

He paused in his footsteps, raised his gun to aim, and pulled the trigger.

Bang - boom!

An explosion erupted inside the chariot, causing a raging fire.

The M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, which was originally a light armored vehicle. The mobility is better than that of a tank, but the armor is thinner than that of a tank, and the defensive performance is naturally much worse than that of a tank.

A 25-mm high-explosive bullet can just penetrate its armor.

The armored corps in the other two infantry chariots were attacking the brood, and they were startled by the sound of the explosion of the infantry chariot next to them.

When they saw that the infantry chariot had been burned to the ground, they tacitly did not flash out from behind the building, but quickly judged Eri's location, and then bypassed the building and outflanked Eri's position.

However, the mobility of their chariots was much worse than that of Eri, a man who could reach thirty meters per second.

Eri activated the eaves wall walking skill and ran along the building to the roof.

From the roof of the building, it was easy to see that the two infantry chariots were outflanking their position.

He removed the XM109 and held the barrel of the gun.

At a distance of less than 150 meters, he didn't even need to take aim, and fired a shot at the two infantry chariots.

Boom!

Both infantry chariots exploded at once, and flames rose up.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ai Li took a step forward and jumped down.

In the two infantry chariots, a total of eight red light clusters were absorbed by Ai Li.

Then, without stopping, he ran towards the brood.

Due to the attack of the army just now, the activity of the brood has decreased, and the yellow light cluster produced is much less.

There are currently only a dozen on the ground.

Eri absorbed all the more than a dozen light clusters, and then ran to the top of the brood, observing the surroundings to prevent the army from coming again.

At this time, the mother nest is completely covered with blood-red substance. In addition to producing genetic material, the huge blood bubbles on the four walls of the brood seem to spit out a faint blood mist.

There was more and more blood mist, and when I looked around through the blood mist, it seemed that the whole city had turned blood red.

Armed with an XM109 sniper rifle, Alley kept scouting around.

When genetic material appears underneath, he jumps in to absorb it. When the absorption is finished, go back to the top of the brood to scout. As long as there are military vehicles around, they will not hesitate to explode with one shot.

I have to say that the XM109 sniper rifle is indeed worthy of the title of the king of sniper rifles.

At the same time, in a circular military base by the sea.

A general who has lost his left arm, with a gray beard on the corner of his mouth, gives people the impression of wisdom and decisiveness.

Behind him, more than two dozen sergeants.

These sergeants were too quiet to say a word in front of the one-armed general.

The one-armed general was looking at a large screen.

At the top of the screen is a map of the military distribution of the entire Manhattan.

The one-armed general looked at it for a moment, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he pointed to the screen and said, "Send one-tenth of the entire Manhattan military strength to the brood." Be sure to destroy Alex. By the way, the Black Watch snipers are also gone. ”

"Yes!"

A high-ranking officer behind him hurriedly replied.

But then he hesitated for a moment and said, "Although Black Watch is also a military force, they are independent and are not at our disposal. ”

"Alex is their fault, we are wiping their butts for them, they don't come forward, do they just let us die?" The one-armed general's eyebrows revealed an undoubted color, and he roared.

The high-ranking officer nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, I'll contact Black Watch immediately." ”

At this time, another officer asked, "What about Elizabeth?" The virus in this city was previously spread by Alex, and later Elizabeth released the virus on a large scale. If the two of them are not eliminated, the virus may not be able to stop it at all. ”

"Send four-tenths of the military force to find and eliminate Elizabeth." The one-armed general's right index finger and thumb rubbed the corners of his eyes, looking a little tired.

Elizabeth was too powerful, far more powerful than they could have imagined.

In his opinion, Elizabeth was the most terrible enemy.

"General, I'...... There is a question. A high-ranking officer hesitated slightly.

"Speak!"

As soon as the one-armed general spoke, his temperament was N layers harder than that of the high-ranking officer.

The officer also seemed to be infected by the general's temperament, puffed up his chest, and said loudly: "General, it's not that I'm not unconfident, but we can't ignore this possibility: what if we can't eliminate Elizabeth?" What if I can't kill Alex? We have to plan for emergencies. ”

"Impossible!"

The general's voice was raised an octave, and it was full of toughness.

"Our army is invincible!" The one-armed general said angrily, "And there's already reinforcements rushing to Manhattan from outside." In any case, we must destroy the virus in Manhattan! Even at the expense of the whole of Manhattan! ”

Everyone was stunned.

They all understood what it meant to sacrifice all of Manhattan.

Manhattan is home to nearly two million people, and while 5 percent of the population is now infected, there are still close to 1.9 million. Sacrificing the whole of Manhattan means that the lives of those 1.9 million people are forfeited.

With just one sentence, 1.9 million lives were given up. There are very few people in the whole world who have such courage.

The one-armed general raised his head, and the frown that had already appeared on his forehead not only did not make him look pale, but made people feel more resolute.

He remembered that when he was experimenting in that village, the whole village was infected.

It was in 1964 that the military moved the families of more than 200 soldiers who died in the war to a newly built village, telling them that it was a simulated post-nuclear war and that they would be the first to survive a possible future nuclear war. So the village was named Hope Village.

But secretly, Blackwatch injected these unwitting people with the black light virus - of course, to study what the black light virus can do to the human body.

Years later, the virus broke out for the first time in the village, where 90 percent of the people were seriously ill.

At that time, the general was only a captain, and he decisively ordered the entire village to be quarantined. Later, he was the first to request the use of nuclear bombs, completely destroying the entire Hope Village. (Elizabeth is the only survivor in the village of Hope, who was evacuated before the bomb was destroyed.) ）

Since then, he has developed a character that does not hesitate to sacrifice part of his life for the sake of the overall situation.

After this incident, he was promoted to major * colonel for his contribution to the destruction of the virus. It was from here that he began his path to the top.

He was encouraged by the fact that he had sacrificed 10% of the population to destroy the virus, and he has sacrificed many lives in many of his subsequent operations to achieve ultimate success.

And today, in the face of this catastrophic virus outbreak, he is likely to make the most bold decision of his life.

"General, we ...... Do you want to think again? ”

A high-ranking officer groaned for a moment and said, "After all, that's the lives of nearly two million people. ”

"Does 2 million people matter, or 6 billion?" The general asked stiffly.

The high-ranking officer was silent.

If you look at it according to common sense, of course, six billion is more important.

However, the importance of life is not simply measured by quantity.

If you put yourself in the middle of these two million people in Manhattan, are you willing to sacrifice? The answer is clearly no.

Of course, there are many people who are willing to sacrifice their ego for the sake of the big self, but after all, it is only a very small part of the people. Now to sacrifice the two million people of Manhattan, have they been consulted?

Every life is important, and every life is precious.

Therefore, it is really difficult for this high-ranking military officer to agree with the general's approach.

Of course, if you don't use the general's method, it will be difficult to find another way.

So it's a real dilemma.

So from this point of view, the general is really courageous.

……

The general's eyes were like eagles, and he slowly swept over the more than twenty high-ranking military officers, and then asked, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

"No, General!"

The more than 20 officers stood upright and raised their heads.

"Since there isn't, let's do it now!"

The general's hard voice came from his throat.

"Yes!"

More than 20 high-ranking officers roared in unison.

Meanwhile, several kilometers away on the brood, Eri is armed with a sniper rifle and scouts the enemy.

At the same time, once a yellow light cluster jumps out of the blood bubble on the wall of the brood, he will jump down, absorb the light cluster, and then continue to run to the roof of the building to reconnoiter the enemy. (To be continued.) )
