Text 073. Sit back and wait to die

When Zhao Yu and Hunter drove back to the headquarters, they were not surprised to see that all the people left behind were standing at the door, and there were more than a dozen mecha infantrymen, who seemed to be survivors who were coming one after another.

"What are you doing here, the welcome ceremony?" Zhao Yu asked.

Borg clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked calm: "No, I just want to see if you will suddenly be sucked into the sky by a ray of light." ”

“…… So my forced participation was directly sucked by UFOs! ”

Borg turned his head to look at the time on the screen: "Who knows, the countdown is less than a minute, and we will know right away." ”

The giant tower was still visible on the screen, and in the darkness, the outline of the tower shimmered and stood out. In the upper right corner of the screen, there is also a line of words that keep beating: "0 minutes and 43 seconds until the start of the assessment".

"What else do you want to say?" Christine also asked curiously.

The muscles on Zhao Yu's face twitched: "You have a little confidence in me, okay?" ”

Of course, he didn't think that he would be forced to compete, otherwise the Bartmins would not have come to warn him not to actively participate in the first stage of the assessment, but this sentence obviously could not be declared, and only the facts could speak.

More than 40 seconds is not long, but it is not short to say that it is not short, but it is still a little uncomfortable to let seven or eight people stare at it for so long, and when Zhao Yu was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, the countdown finally ended.

None of the people and objects present have changed, except that the words on the screen have changed to "53 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds until the end of the assessment".

"Cut ......," Borg let out a voice of disappointment.

"Okay, don't look at it, that's all! There is no pillar of light to suck people! Zhao Yu waved his hand to dispel the atmosphere as if he was watching a magic trick, "Speaking of which, is there any new information?" ”

This time it was Christine who sneered: "New information? All of them are pretending to be innocent, and they just received a few signals here, so you can watch them. ”

Although it is the ruins after the war, the signal of the military communication line is still strong, Zhao Yu walked into the command headquarters, just to see a gray-haired, somewhat Harrison Ford old man on a surviving screen is speaking, the following subtitles show that he is the president of the American Community, Kevin Loraine, who is also the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces on the North American continent, and now he is just halfway through his speech: "I assure everyone that this assessment is carefully prepared and the results are controllable, The American Community is well equipped to complete this assessment and does not require additional assistance......"

"The results are manageable." Zhao Yu repeated, "Who does he think he is?" The president of the Galactic Civilization Commonwealth? ”

"The Galactic Civilization Commonwealth has a president?" Hunter curious.

“…… I don't know? ”

"Tsk, I thought you would know something since you were taken by the aliens......"

At this time, Christine switched to another channel, and the speaker became a black woman, and Zhao Yu recognized it as the President of the West Coast Republics, Qatari: "We have every reason to think that the decision of the American Community is irrational, and we call on the other side to let go of long-standing prejudices and abandon military action against our country, and we should use our precious resources in more important places......"

"At this time, you are still delusional about the alliance army network? Do you want to stay on the North American continent so much? This time, even Stephanie couldn't help but snort, "How can the Alliance Army have the energy to take care of this now?" Coping with the assessment is the most important thing, right? ”

Christine shook her head: "That's not necessarily - the Union Army order I just intercepted, all Union Army units will suspend all missions, the troops west of the Sierra Nevada will be alert to the Nationalist counterattack, and the troops east of the Sierra Nevada will need to stand by and wait for new instructions." ”

"Stand by now?!" Zhao Yu asked in disbelief, "Do these idiots know what the situation is now?" The countdown to the alien guy has begun, isn't it clear enough on the radio? Once they fail the assessment, the earthlings will be trapped and killed on the earth for more than 400 years! When the ban is lifted, there will be no living person on earth! ”

"It's not just the Confederates who are stupid." Christine smiled disdainfully, "The orders received by the Nationalist Army are similar, it seems that because the Coalition Army will not be able to act with confidence if the state of hostilities is not lifted, so I plan to concentrate on watching the Coalition Army's jokes." ”

"Don't look at it, the whole planet is going to be a joke." Hunter said darkly, "A joke told to the whole universe at the cost of the extinction of civilization is really costless. ”

"As for the forces on other continents, they are basically still at the stage where they don't want to tear face." Christine reached out to switch channels, and different people were expressing similar opinions.

"The spokesman for the Speaker of the Atlantic Alliance expressed concern about the current situation in North America if the American Community is unable to make progress in the short term......"

"The Slavic United Front issued an official statement in which it harshly criticized the Atlantic Alliance for concealing the facts of the assessment, accusing such actions as a crime against all of humanity......"

"The rotating chairman of the WPA said that now all parties on the earth must put aside their contradictions and formulate a response plan as soon as possible......

"I always feel that with the performance of earthlings, even if I am sentenced to death, it is not a wrong." Sergeant Borg, who walked into the room at some point, made an evaluation with a cigarette in his mouth.

Everyone looked at him together, and Hunter instinctively doubted, "Sergeant, what are your plans?" ”

"I can't do stupid things like the whole world just sitting there and watching the countdown." Borg replied, "Do you want to be the first hero to appear on the battlefield?" ”

"Commander, I must warn you that you may not be the first." Zhao Yu coughed, "On the way back, we saw a team of Union Army chariots heading towards the examination room. ”

"Aren't they supposed to be on standby?" Borg nodded approvingly, "It seems that there are good men in the Alliance Army." ”

"The Commander seems to be the BTX that chased us to death." Hunt added.

Borg was stunned for two seconds, then snuffed out the cigarette butt in his mouth: "Bastard, how can you let a subordinate lose the limelight...... What are your plans? ”

“…… Sergeant, you're not going to follow, are you? Hunter looked at him suspiciously, "Do you know what to expect?" ”

Borg sneered: "Are you still afraid of death, Hunter?" After all you've been through, are you still afraid of death? ”

"Of course I'm afraid of death, sergeant! Why am I not afraid of death! Hunter asked angrily, but then he sighed, "What's the use of being afraid of death, the whole earth will be sentenced to death...... If only I was unlucky. ”

"What about you? Old man? Borg looked at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu stretched out his hands: "I have a very bad premonition...... But that's nonsense, right? ”

"It's the big truth." "But this time I'm not going to persuade you anything, I just want to ask – are you coming?" ”

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows. The Buttermins did say that he hoped he would not actively participate in the first stage of the assessment, so it should be the best choice to stay here and wait for the first stage of the assessment to end......

However, it is the best choice to see the comrades-in-arms who share life and death go to the battlefield and stay in the rear to watch? it!

"Can you still pin your hopes on the Confederates?" Zhao Yu opened his mouth and said, "Commander, do you still lack a co-pilot?" ”

Borg laughed: "That's right. ”

Just as the three of them were about to walk out of the room door, an unexpected person stopped at the door.

"Are you going to be a hero?" Catherine Zhou looked at them with a helpless expression, "How are you going to go?" Walking? Or driving that buggy outside? ”

This sentence got to the point, and even Borg had an embarrassed expression on his face, after all, now they didn't even have the most broken chariot, but Borg was still stubborn: "Let's go shopping on the street, we can always find one that can still be driven......"

"Maybe we can run over in power armor, only a hundred kilometers......" Hunter said without believing it.

Only Zhao Yu noticed that a subtle smile appeared on the corner of Christine's mouth, and he suddenly became curious: "Christine, what did you find when I was away?" ”

Borg was stunned when he heard this: "How did I not know that they found something?" ”

"That's because you didn't go to the power hub with us." Catherine replied.

In order to save time, Christine and Catherine and White set off directly to throw aside all the GIs who couldn't help, and after they raced against time to complete the electromagnetic attack, they encountered an unexpected person at the door - if Christine hadn't spoken in time, Ensign White would have been able to kill the guy with one shot.

"So they met you?" Zhao Yu looked at Enand Mata in front of him with suspicion, "What are you doing in the power center?" ”

"To help my sister, of course!" Enande looked righteous, "She is my relative, if you don't help her, who will I help!" ”

"You just want to take advantage of the chaos and see what's cheap to pick up." Christine unceremoniously debunked.

Enander rolled his eyes - Zhao Yu found that he was really a bit like Christine when he did this action: "Laluna, how long are you going to be awkward?" ”

"How can I have time to be awkward with you?" Christine said impatiently, "Don't you see that there are still people here who are in a hurry to save the earth?" Hand over your stuff! When White pointed a gun to your head, you swore there was something that would help us! ”

"What's that?" Zhao Yu said curiously.

"A chariot." "It seems to have been damaged a little bit by the Nationalists a week ago when it was abandoned by the National Army on a nearby street, and we were going to repair it, but we never found a chance," replied Enande......

"I couldn't find anyone to repair it or any equipment available." Christine added.

Ernande could only sigh.

"Alright, let's see where that chariot is." Borg interjected, "I'd love to know what a vehicle you can consider repairable looks like." ”

============================

I want to say I wish you all a happy holiday, but it doesn't seem right when I think about it......
