Chapter 15: The Speed of Life and Death (Part II)

While Lee was locking up the pulleys, Robin, who was the first to set off, had successfully passed through the 800-meter-long escape hose and entered the launch port of the Ray transport.

The moment his legs landed, Robin rolled on the spot, and while neatly unlocking the pulley, the folding shield on his left wrist unfolded with a 'poof', and the assault rifle that had already opened the safety was also placed on the upper edge of the shield and entered the shooting mode.

Subsequently, Colin also arrived without incident. After landing, he hid behind Robin very tacitly, and leaned near the hatch of the launch port under Robin's cover.

Using a multi-tool knife to remove the hatch's shoehorn panel, Colin opened the miniature radar he was carrying, pulled out two metal wires, and placed them on the electronic motherboard of the control hatch.

"Give me a minute." Colin sped on the keyboard, deciphering the Union Army's computer code at a dizzying speed.

Then, Lee and the rest of the team arrived one by one. Fortunately, although the escape hose shook badly during the arrival of the enemy ship, there were no major problems after all, and all the members of the Marine Corps were smuggled to the enemy ship unscathed.

"Alright."

In Robin's anxious waiting, Colin finally deciphers the Union Code. He closed the miniature radar, and after carrying it on his back, he attached one of the metal wires to his tactical goggles.

Soon a group of data appeared in Colin's goggles, and the structural diagram of the entire Federation transport ship and the current damage appeared in Colin's sight.

After quickly filtering this information using the information processing power of up to the third order, Colin turned to Robin and said, "From the launch port to the bridge, we need to pass through three areas, each of which has an isolation door, which means that we may encounter resistance in these three places. Fortunately, however, there are not many infantry that the Federation can use to defend the ship, and judging from the number of life characteristics displayed on the radar so far, there are about 100 people on this ship. ”

"One hundred! ~" One of the recruits couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he heard the number.

"What's so strange about this, these 100 people are not all combatants. According to official information, the crew of the 'Ray' transport ship is about 60 people, which means that most of the current crew members of this ship are non-combatants, and the real combat effectiveness is probably a platoon. ”

"Even a platoon is three times as numerous as ours. Moreover, in the event of an invasion, the crew can also form a certain combat effectiveness as long as they pick up the gun. Robin furrowed his brows, was silent for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said: "No matter, now we can't manage so much, at least fourteen assault boats have been launched on this ship, based on the combat effectiveness of one platoon of each assault boat, we have at least four hundred fewer enemies, if you look at it this way, we only need to deal with thirty is already a lot easier." ”

"And judging from the life characteristics shown on the radar, there are quite a few people whose life characteristics are very weak, hehe...... This proves that these people were injured in the previous impact. ”

Colin's addition immediately lifted everyone's spirits, Robin stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his lips, and resolutely ordered: "Li, you take one person with you, and the others rush in with me." ”

As soon as the words ended, Robin pulled the emergency start device of the gate hard. After a 'whoosh', the heavy gate quickly opened, and the two fighters who were already in position on either side immediately rolled into it, holding up their assault rifles in a half-crouching position to form a crossfire.

"Safety."

Robin walked past the two guards with his rifle in hand, trotted all the way to the wall at the corner of the walkway. He looked out, and when he raised his hand, he fired a shot that exploded the surveillance probe in the hallway.

"Let's go!"

Robin lowered his center of gravity and trotted all the way to the front. Behind him, several warriors kept changing positions to protect Colin in the middle. Lee hung far behind with a fireman, retreating backwards to protect the rear of the team, turning from time to time and sweeping his scope directly in front of Robin.

As he passed the next corner, Robin at the front suddenly stopped, quickly leaned sideways against the wall, and made a 'quiet' tactical gesture. Suddenly, the members of the Marine Corps quickly took their positions, nervously holding their breath, waiting for Robin's order.

"There were seven people, two medics, two wounded, and three soldiers." Through the thermal scan on the goggles, Robin peered through the wall to see what was not far away.

The two wounded were supposed to have been injured in the previous ramming, and since the Federans were unprepared at the time of the ramming, most of them were not in their seats at the time, making the Federaises' casualties after the ramming far worse than those of the TR-375. It was precisely for this reason that the bridge crew, who was in the chaos, did not notice Robin and the others who had sneaked in.

After determining the number of opponents, Robin pressed his palm to the top of his head, made a tactical sign language of 'cover me', and then leaped out of the corner.

Suddenly, the three soldiers who were nervously watching the injuries of their comrades raised their heads vigilantly, but before they could draw their guns, Robin's energy bullets swept out of the air and slammed into their faces. At the same time, several fighters who were responsible for covering Robin also quickly rushed out of the corner, and under the full fire of the assault rifles, the dense rain of bullets instantly formed a dead zone with no dead ends, killing seven Federation soldiers in an instant.

"Quick! Fast! ”

Successfully eliminating the enemy in front of him, Robin stepped to the gate with an arrow, pressed the lock of the gate, and then held his gun to urge the Marines to pass quickly. At this time, the crew of the federal bridge finally noticed the battle here through the surveillance probe in the corridor, and suddenly, a terrible siren sounded, and the entire bridge was in chaos.

"Those people are the Republic's Marines? Damn it...... How they got in! ”

In the driver's seat of the bridge, the captain of the Federation Navy covered his head painfully with a piece of gauze, and stared at Robin and the others who were rapidly advancing in the picture with a bloody face.

"It's an escape hose." A crew member who was inspecting the damage to the ship's hull shouted panicked, spotting the escape hose attached to the assault boat's launchport.

"What!" The captain stood up angrily, stared at his bloodshot eyes and roared: "Damn, they are going to take the ship by force!" ”

"How many infantry do we have on board now?"

"Inadequate...... There is less than a platoon, and many of them are wounded......"

"Damn, tell the ensigns to give up the battle and come back with the squad in an assault boat. In addition, let all the soldiers who have not yet breathed their breath go to fight for me, and you, all of them will go to the arsenal for me to get guns, and they must not be allowed to storm the bridge! ~”

At the captain's roar, the panicked crew immediately rushed out of the bridge, and while distributing guns, all access gates to the bridge were closed. The soldiers in various positions on the ship also urgently treated their injuries, and quickly rushed to the blocking point according to the offensive route of Robin's team as indicated in the communication, trying to intercept Robin and them before they rushed to the bridge.
