Chapter 3: Honkai Impact I The Spear of Longinus and LEVELIII (Part 3)2
"Well done. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Saber exclaimed, looking at the flares in the sky overhead, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, the rain didn't know when it stopped, and the outer walls of the buildings on the road were already wet on Saber and Ye Zifeng's clothes. Turning around, Saber looked at Ye Zifeng.
"Brains are good, it looks like we're okay for the time being." But Saber was stunned after finishing speaking, Ye Zifeng's face was pale at this time, and there was no trace of blood on his lips, the rain flowed down Ye Zifeng's cheeks, and the messy hair stretched out of his helmet and stuck to Ye Zifeng's face, it seemed that Ye Zifeng had fainted.
"Hey, what's wrong with you!" Saber shook Ye Zifeng's shoulder, but there was no response, his head was on it, Ye Zifeng's face was cold, but his forehead was amazingly hot, Saber breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that it is a cold." ā
Sandwiching Ye Zifeng on his shoulder, Saber pulled Ye Zifeng into a nearby building, and after clarifying the few mutant infected people who were still active inside, Saber found a clean room and dragged Ye Zifeng inside.
"But even a cold is a little bad." Saber looked at Ye Zifeng lying on the bed, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "It seems that it's not right to find the answer quickly, but then again." ā
Saber walked over to the bed, looked at the flares floating in the sky, and muttered to himself.
"What does this attract?"
"Over there, sir." A soldier raised his hand and pointed to a flare rising in the distance, and Captain Eric, who was urging the soldiers to board the plane and evacuate, looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and the town on the other side of the woods was bright.
"That's, portable daylight flares." Eric muttered, "Whoever has nothing to do, leave him alone and continue boarding." ā
"But sir." The soldier just now was a little hesitant, "There is, the rebels named the 'Sword of Sorrow', which is marked on the map given above. ā
"Huh?" Eric carefully compared the map handed over by the soldiers, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he also made a calculation in his heart, he said that he was going to stick to the help, but he withdrew without authorization, and he must have been punished after he went back, and he also lost a lot of people, if he went to kill them all now, he should make up for it, and if he was lucky, he would be promoted.
Eric smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was still as serious as ever.
"Well, it seems that the rebels have converged with the 'Sword of Sorrow', and now should be the best time to go and hunt them down. They had no means of transportation, so they had to walk back to the Joint Defense Circle, and we were able to take advantage of this great opportunity. Eric pointed to a point on the map with his index finger, then returned the map to the soldier while patting him on the shoulder, "Well done private, get in the cabin and take a seat." ā
"Yes, sir." The soldier saluted and returned to the cabin, followed by Eric, the rear hatch of the Chinook shut, and Eric pushed the door into the cockpit.
"Sir." The driver pressed the instrument panel and the buttons on the top of his head one by one, and the front and rear engines of the "Chinook" ignited.
"Fly towards the distant daylight flares, where we're going to land." Eric gestured to the flares that had risen from the town in the distance.
"Got it, sir." The driver nodded, held the lever with his right hand, and pushed the accelerator forward with his left hand, and the engine power increased, and the "Chinook" took off into the air.
"The target has been confirmed, sir." A motorized infantryman with a telescope came down from the tree, and Naoto Sakurai on the side was guarding under the tree with a rifle, the jungle was so quiet that it was not like words, and the bursts of gunfire before made this uneasiness particularly obvious, Naoto Sakurai already felt that at this moment, something was happening, but he didn't know what was going on as soon as he landed.
"How's it going?" Naoto Sakurai turned his binoculars and asked the motorized infantry who jumped from the tree.
"It's not going to be too good, the lighting just now lifted off from the 'Sword of Sorrow'." The motorized infantry took out his laptop from his pocket, called up the map of the area, marked a point on it, and then pointed it with his index finger with a serious expression, "This is the 'Sword of Sorrow'." But this is a little different from the information when I came. ā
"What's going on?" Naoto Sakurai took the tablet and marked an area in the jungle in front of him with a red circle, which was obviously the same as the information stated, and that was the place where the code name "Sword of Sorrow" was received, "Look at the marks on the map and the information is no different." ā
"But what I observed was a little different." The motorized infantry ripped off a data cable from the telescope in the hands of Naoto Sakurai and connected it to the tablet, and after two operations on the tablet, the map began to update automatically, first using the entity data just observed for 2D plane view speculation, and then the data model was called up from the database for map reorganization, and after a few seconds, the map was refreshed, and the "Sword of Sorrow" marked in red circle before became a lonely town in the dense forest, "This is not a jungle, I don't know if it's a mistake in the intelligence or if it's a deliberate act on the part of the people above, but it's certain that we're no longer dealing with a parade of pilgrims or a battle team of the Earth Federation, but something we don't know yet. ā
"Sounds terrible." Sakurai Naoto thoughtfully, nodded with a slight frown, stared at the map on the computer for a while, and then handed the computer back to the motorized infantryman, and patted the motorized infantryman's shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work." ā
"It's alright, sir." The motorized infantry shook his head, turned the rifle leaning on the trunk of the tree on the side and turned away, while Naoto Sakurai lowered his head and pondered, the task is to be completed, but how to complete this task, several forces in the dense forest have boiled, and the flare just now added fuel to the fire, now everyone is thinking about moving in the dense forest, radio short-wave communication is jammed, and now Naoto Sakurai doesn't even know the current location of his friendly army, in the case of fighting alone, Naoto Sakurai, the commander, has to be more thoughtful and indiscriminate. Rash advance will only kill his motorized infantry in vain, even if every motorized infantry is experienced in a hundred battles, Naoto Sakurai is not willing to take this risk.
But the mission has reached this juncture, Sakurai Naoto is impossible to give up easily, even if you want to give up the mission, it is almost impossible to go directly to the joint defense circle, for the sake of insurance, the map does not mark the location of the joint defense circle, and what is known is the exploration team sent by the joint defense circle that is about to turn, and he could have chosen to return directly to the laurel base, but don't say that now the "albatross" transport plane is broken, it is considered not broken, and he wants to rush through the "halo of the pilgrim". "There is little hope for the net laid by the fighter plane, and with the analysis of the current situation, Naoto Sakurai knows very clearly where he should go now.
"All assembled." Naoto Sakurai ordered through the walkie-talkie to the motorized infantry in two squads, the communication band used by the Admiralty is different from the conventional short wave, and the more secret band can make the communication wave drill through the gap of the interference magnetic field, although there will be some noise, but it will not fail due to interference. Figures emerged from the jungle on the side, and after a while, the remaining fourteen motorized infantry came to Sakurai's side, waiting for Sakurai's order.
"Check the equipment, get ready for battle, we're going to get in here." Naoto Sakurai laid the computer flat on the ground, and the five fingers were printed on the screen and stopped for a second or so, and then lifted, and the three-dimensional projection was pulled up like a suspended grain of sand, and a map appeared floating on the screen, with updated jungle terrain on the map, and of course, the "Sword of Sorrow" that had not been marked before.
"This is where we go." Naoto Sakurai pointed to the terrain of the town on the map, looked around at the motorized infantry, and continued, "I don't know why this place is not marked, maybe the satellite didn't detect it, but it's clear that the level of our mission is going to be raised." ā
"Sir, what's here?" A motorized infantryman raised his hand to speak, "Is this really the 'Sword of Sorrow'?" ā
"There's no doubt that we've been following the allotted map, so it's almost certain that we're not on the wrong track, and this is the 'Sword of Sorrow' we're going to." Naoto Sakurai nodded, "I don't know what's here, I was only more than you at the beginning of the mission until what was the goal of this mission, and I have already introduced it to you in terms of transportation and transportation, the goal has not changed, it is still to receive the commissioner of the Admiralty." ā
"Who's this commissioner?" Another motorized infantryman raised his hand to speak.
"I can't say this, my commander specially told me before I came that the target person this time is A-class secret, although I know who he is, but you have no right to know, even if you participated in this operation." Naoto Sakurai shook his head, and then unlocked the electronic lock that had just been turned off not long ago, and the rifle clattered as if it came to life, five or six indicators lit up in turn, the trigger lock was automatically unlocked, and the LED screen on the gun body showing the remaining ammunition also lit up blue.
The surrounding motorized infantry followed suit, and the sound of an electronic lock unlocking sounded, and the rifle that had been loaded before was officially ready to be activated at this time, and the helmet's holographic screen displayed various information, such as the location of teammates, vital signs, and the number of magazines remaining in the magazine, which was extremely useful, and sometimes could even save a soldier's life.
"Ready." Naoto Sakurai gave a thumbs up, and the motorized infantry around him signaled that Naoto Sakurai himself was ready.
"Let's go." Naoto Sakurai put away the computer and took the lead towards the "Sword of Sorrow", while the motorized infantry behind him got up in order, one by one followed Naoto Sakurai and walked briskly, this is a rapid march, they are racing against time, whoever reaches the "Sword of Sorrow" first will get the greatest advantage, and the exploration team that has arrived is engaged or rounded, it depends on which force arrives first, if it is the Earth Federation, I am afraid that there is little hope of success, However, the two squads of the Admiralty are only five hundred meters away from the "Sword of Sorrow", and it stands to reason that the Admiralty should arrive first, but unfortunately, the Earth Federation has planes, although it is said that there is a distance of two kilometers, but the extremely mobile "Chinook" will still fly to the predetermined location within a few minutes, but the Admiralty, which needs to pass through the dense forest, is much slower, so the two sides are now evenly matched, and it can be regarded as being on the same starting line.
The flare fell, and the "Sword of Sorrow" fell into darkness again, and the horror came again, but Ye Zifeng, who was unconscious because of a headache, of course couldn't detect such gloom, and Saber, who was standing by the window, sighed softly, the receiving troops still hadn't arrived, and it seemed that there was little hope of being answered, but Saber really couldn't understand why the top chose the location here, full of biochemical poison gas and the "Sword of Pathy" of pilgrim anti-infantry weapons It's really not the best choice, and it's not unaware that this place is full of mutant infections, but why? Why do you have to be here? Could it be that something happened that the people above had to pay attention to? Or is there something else going on in this matter? Saber frowned, he couldn't find an answer.
It was raining outside again, and the rain was making the ground more and more wet, and the mutant infected people on the street had returned to their warehouses or basements to stand by, and these mutant infected people who were waiting to be destroyed for unknown reasons still exist in this town that should not exist.
The raindrops kept knocking on the glass window and made a clanging sound, hearing that Saber was upset, reason is not omnipotent after all, the disturbance of the outside world is Saber's biggest natural enemy, snorted heavily, Saber finally glanced at the rain scene outside the window, turned around and returned to the room, Ye Zifeng lay motionless on the bed as if he was dead, Ye Zifeng's equipment was lined up on the table next to him, rifle and pistol body armor, and of course, the paratrooper dagger that Ye Zifeng waved in his hand before. Saber could see that Ye Zifeng had undergone rigorous training, and the previous kind of adaptability was not something that ordinary people could have, and when he knew that the distance between the enemy and himself was shortening, he could decisively give up the most lethal pistol in his hand and pull out a dagger to meet the enemy, such a professional fighting skill that even a scout may not be able to do. Carefully looked at Ye Zifeng's young, thin and somewhat pale face, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Saber really couldn't believe it, such a thin teenager has such combat skills, no, it should be said that it is experience, such a reaction ability is definitely not something that can be obtained by training alone, although I don't know what Ye Zifeng has experienced before, but Saber can be sure that Ye Zifeng's identity is definitely not simple. Saber couldn't help but sigh in his heart that such a teenager, who would give the first impression of "emaciated and malnourished" at first glance, had gone through so much. Sighing, Saber pulled a chair to the side of the bed, straightened Ye Zifeng's somewhat messy hair, and muttered to himself.
"It's really surprising, but a young man in his twenties has gone through so much, I can feel the ups and downs in you, I can also feel the pain in you, but I don't know who you are yet." Saber grinned slightly, revealing a kind smile like an old man's grandson, "I'm really curious, what have you been through?" ā
"Hmm." Ye Zifeng frowned, and there was a snort in his throat, obviously due to a headache, but Saber didn't have a clue.
"Hey~" Saber sighed softly, got up from the bench, and kept pacing around the room, "What's your name?" ā
"Ye ......," Ye Zifeng muttered dreamily.
"Huh?" Saber glanced at Ye Zifeng suspiciously, "Yay?" What are you happy about? Silly? ā
"......" Ye Zifeng didn't make a sound, as if he was falling into a deep sleep again, this kind of situation often happens, every time Ye Zifeng is a little conscious, it won't take long for him to fall asleep again, maybe he will wake up, but it is definitely not a matter of a short time, but the problem is that he doesn't have time to care about this comatose Earth Federation soldier, and when the receiving force comes, he can only bring him here, this is still a good situation, if the situation is bad, it is very likely that the receiving force will give the order to kill.
Saber shook his head, and began to think in his heart about how to evacuate, the receiving troops may not appear, so he must not be able to stumble here, Archer is on guard on the periphery of the town, and there will be no such phenomenon as communication cut-off using the communication device of the Admiralty, but there is no information so far Saber can only interpret that the receiving troops have not yet arrived. Saber is confident in Archer's skills, and the mutant infected will never defeat him.
There is only one way out of the town, that is, the street that runs through the town downstairs, and the iron gates at both ends are the path to leave here, but he appeared on the street, in case the air defense alarm sounded again, the mutant infected people flocked to it, and he had absolutely no possibility of escaping, not to mention, his ammunition was seriously insufficient, even if he brought Ye Zifeng's ammunition, Saber did not have absolute confidence that he could knock down the mutant infected people who pounced on him one by one. Besides, taking Ye Zifeng's weapon away, Saber couldn't help it, no matter what, Ye Zifeng also protected his back before, even if he brought Ye Zifeng here to save his life, but saving someone else paid off his debts to others, and Saber never believed it. The long knife is slightly curled, although the saber knife technique is superb, and it can easily find the bone seam to cut off the limbs of the mutant infected, but it is necessary to kill the mutant infected person and kill the brain worms parasitic in the brain of the mutant infected person at the same time, so as to prevent future troubles forever, and the hard skull makes Saber's long knife a little unbearable.
It seems that there is little hope of escaping.,I don't have any way but to wait here for the accident.,But the response is delayed.,It was supposed to be good to leave together at zero o'clock.,But now...... Saber looked at the watch on his wrist, at 0:56, the receiving troops were almost an hour late, although he said that he did not arrive on time, but the receiving troops obviously came later. In fact, this is not to blame the receiving troops, they have already worked hard, the exploration team sent by the Joint Defense Circle encountered the attack of the pilgrims and the instructions on the map were unknown, so it came a little late, and the Admiralty was delayed for a lot of time in the air battle with the "Halo" fighters, and the changeable situation in the jungle had to make Sakurai Naoto be more careful, so he did not reach the "Sword of Sorrow" for a long time. However, the exploration team has arrived, although it is said that it is a little lost, but it is still in accordance with the target task location marked on this map, exploring and advancing in the town, here is a jungle on the map, the exploration team does not have the same equipment as the Admiralty, so it is obviously in the town, but the map marked is the jungle, which makes the exploration team a little dizzy, and has the heart to respond, but it is helpless to find the right way.
