The sky had completely darkened, and in the darkness all around, only the roar of the Deathbringer as it moved forward and the light cast by the headlights broke the silence.

The fires and explosions in the town of Hurdick had been heard for three hours, and there were no pursuers catching up, but the people in the car were all nervous.

Because the troops who retreated in advance, including two MF1s and dozens of soldiers, lost contact for almost three hours.

"It stands to reason that there is no interception force on this route." Borg kept staring at the display in front of him, "There are no military stations, no research institutes, no military facilities...... What exactly happened to Hartman? ”

"Could it be that other troops were sent in advance to ambush ahead?" Christine wondered, "If I'm not mistaken, the Alliance Army is not very interested in your squad. ”

Borg thought for a while, and finally shook his head in denial: "It is impossible for them to predict this route, so far, we have advanced according to the route that avoids the crisis as much as possible, and the alliance army will never predict it, even if it is deduced according to our previous route, it will be too late to mobilize troops here!" ”

Christine clasped her hands in front of her chest with a curious expression: "I just wanted to ask, what is the reason why you have always been so confident?" Why do you think the Coalition forces will never be able to intercept you? ”

"There are two reasons for this. One is me, my hometown is Las Vegas, although business there is not as good as it was a few decades ago, but it is still very considerable in North America, but I have been in the casino there for 16 years, and I am still a little confident in calculating hearts and probabilities. Borg pointed to himself and introduced a few words, and then pointed at Zhao Yu, "Another reason, of course, is our old man - he has the ability to 'hunch'. ”

“…… Foreboding? Christine looked back at Zhao Yu, "Wait a minute, I remembered...... The Awakened of the Old Century, yes! It is because of your special powers that those old men in power will think of studying mutants! ”

"It's the world's fault." Zhao Yu said with a roll of his eyes.

"And how do you feel right now?" Christine's interest immediately rose, "You can be considered a prototype of a mutant, huh?" ”

"I don't feel it at all." Zhao Yu said, looking at the other person next to him, "And I don't think it's the time to discuss mutants." ”

"I don't mind." The person who was looked at by Zhao Yu was Gabriel, and the white-haired man remained expressionless as usual, sitting on a temporary chair, "Strictly speaking, there is a difference between me and the mutants in your impression. ”

Christine immediately asked, "What's the difference?" ”

"Confidentiality."

“…… Thank you for your answer. Christine sat back down disappointed, "What a mystery you're in, Private Gabriel Bradley...... Or do you prefer the name T19? ”

"You don't have to be wary of me, Private Christine." Gabriel looked at her and said calmly, "I do have many secrets that I can't tell you, but I promise that there is no conflict with your actions - we should be comrades, not enemies." ”

Zhao Yu deeply agreed: "I agree with him, Christine...... If he were an enemy, there would be no living people in this cockpit. ”

"You don't have to say it so bluntly." Borg sighed beside him.

Gabriel Bradley, or T19, has already demonstrated his terrifying prowess in front of everyone: his marksmanship is remarkable even without support, his hand-to-hand combat is just as strong, and he has been pointed out as the only product of a secret plan - no matter how you look at it, it makes it much more cost-effective to make him a companion than a boss.

"Guys, sorry to interrupt your tea party." Hunter suddenly interjected, "We're five minutes away from getting to the target location...... Sergeant Hartmann, where they lost contact. ”

Everyone's attention turned to the display together.

"According to the map, the last point of contact is here," Hunter circled on the screen, "adjacent to Upper Klamath Lake, and honestly, not an area suitable for MF1 operations." ”

"It's a dead lake anyway." Borg snorted, "It's already filled, right?" Is there anything else in Oregon that can be called a landscape? ”

"Well, it's not that serious, sir." Hunter reminded that "the area west of Burns City has remained largely untouched......

"Well, we don't go into the details." Borg thought for a moment and gave the order, "Stop moving forward first, and then think about what to do." ”

Christine asked, "Isn't it saving people?" ”

Zhao Yu shrugged: "It's been three hours since Sergeant Hartmann and their battle ended, I'm afraid we can only clean up the battlefield if we rush over now, or we may be a little less lucky......"

"If you're even worse, the enemy who attacked them hasn't left yet, and they're waiting for us to crash headlong into it, right?" Christine continued with a gloomy face.

"Theoretically, we're not that stupid," Borg said, spreading his hands, "but we don't have time to delay here, as soon as it's dawn, the town of Hudick will catch up like a madman, we've seen the drone twice along the way, and I bet it spotted us." ”

Hunter couldn't help but cough: "Sergeant, I also want to remind you that MF1's combat capability at night ......"

"I know, it's the same as nothing." Borg replied, "What's worse is that they took out Sergeant Hartman's two MF1s during the day. ”

There was silence in the cockpit.

There is no way out. Behind is a large army that will pursue at any time, and in front is an ambush that easily breaks through two MF1s.

"Old man, how do you feel now?" Borg broke the silence with a "you say it's okay" expression.

But Zhao Yu could only sigh again.

Of course, there is a hunch, and of course it is not very good. There was like some beast lurking in the woods ahead, and he instinctively feared it, and a chill rolled around his back.

"Sounds like we can prepare a suicide note now." Borg said, "Old man, try a little harder, and see if you can sense a little bit of the enemy's flaws?" ”

“…… Commander, do you really think I know how to prophesy? ”

At this time, Gabriel stood up.

"I'll go ahead and explore the way." His tone was like going on an outing, "Although I don't know what kind of enemy it is, I'll find a way to expose them." ”

"Just you?" Borg looked at him, "I know you're very good, but the other side took out Sergeant Hartman and them in ten minutes." ”

"I suspect my mission has something to do with them." Gabriel replied, "I have to go and confirm that...... Also, Zhao Yu, I hope you can go with me. ”

Zhao Yu opened his mouth wide and pointed at himself: "Me? Are you sure? ”

"Your hunch ability, I think it should help me." Gabriel said, "Of course, there are risks involved in going out, so I'm just making this request to you, but it's up to you to decide whether you want to go with me or not." ”

Zhao Yu looked at the others a little confused, and Borg made a gesture: "He's right, you decide for yourself." ”

Everyone waited for Zhao Yu to make a decision, and Zhao Yu only took a few seconds to give an answer: "I'll go with you." ”

"Old man, you're just an ordinary person." Hunter couldn't help but say, "Even if you have that hunch ability, you're still an ordinary person...... And now there are no combat suits, and you only need one bullet to solve them. ”

"I've figured it out." Zhao Yu grinned, "It may not be safe to stay in this cockpit, think about Sergeant Hartman." ”

Finally, there is something I can do to help, why should I shrink back and be a coward?

The night was gloomy, and there was no difference from the nights that Zhao Yu had seen before.

He jumped out of the cockpit lightly, and Gabriel was already waiting for him outside the Deathbringer.

The lights of the chariot still shone ahead, pointing them in the right direction. This was the only source of light in the dark field, and Zhao Yu could hear some movement around him - it was already some distance away from the area where the outbreak was serious, and it was understandable that there were still some animals living in the wild.

"Deathbringer, turn off the light source." Zhao Yu confirmed the surrounding situation and issued a command to his comrades in the headset, and now his equipment is very simple: a pistol, a rifle, a pair of headsets, and a night vision device that Christine temporarily repaired. Not even a single extra magazine, according to Borg: "I didn't expect you to hit anything anyway." ”

"Old man, stay safe." Hunter's voice came from the headphones, and then the two headlights went out together, leaving him in the dark world completely.

Because of his psychological preparation, Zhao Yu did not panic, but quickly activated the night vision device, so a world that was still clear although the color was distorted reappeared in front of him.

Gabriel stood a few meters in front of him and looked at him: "Ready?" ”

He was still dressed in a black tights, with a rifle in his hand and two magazine pockets hanging from his body, but he was not equipped with anything that would help enhance his vision at night, and he looked at Zhao Yu as if it was broad daylight.

"Yes, let's go!" Zhao Yu already has immunity to this companion's various supernormal abilities.

This place is about five hundred meters away from Sergeant Hartman's last contact point, it will take a little time to arrive, Zhao Yu did not dare to be careless, followed Gabriel in a cautious and cautious posture, this comrade-in-arms is very considerate, has been acting at the speed that Zhao Yu can keep up, Zhao Yu has no doubt that if Gabriel is willing, it will only take thirty seconds at most to completely disappear from his field of vision, after all, he has seen his speed in Hudick Town.

This time, however, he did not go to 500 meters at all, and only advanced 100 meters at most, and Gabriel stopped and crouched down.

There was a completely lifeless man in front of him, and Zhao Yu recognized it as a soldier from the uniform marking.

"Two bullets in the chest." Gabriel whispered, "Hit accurately." ”

Zhao Yu shrugged: "The people who are ambushed here must not have been affected by electromagnetic bombs, and if they are assisted by power armor, it is not difficult to hit accurately, right?" ”

"That makes sense, but I'm afraid it's not that simple." Gabriel stooped down and took a few steps forward, crouching down again next to the other corpse, "Let's say this victim......"

Zhao Yu's face was not very good-looking: "I cut my throat with some sharp weapon." ”

"The average mecha infantry would not adopt this method of hand-to-hand combat, let alone in the event of an advantage." Gabriel muttered to himself, "So there should be a type of enemy who is very accustomed to melee combat......"

“…… Wood saws? Zhao Yu said this word with a bitter face.
