East side of Las Vegas, Henderson Township.

This place was captured by the Union Army half a month ago and became the Coalition Army Operational Command for the Raid on Las Vegas, and in the following period of time, with the advantage of numbers and resources, the advance of the Union Army has been relatively satisfactory, but since the arrival of a certain person, the atmosphere of the command has not become so harmonious.

"Dr. Wright, for your request, our attack has been delayed a lot." The general looked at the short old man in front of him impatiently, "Now the San Francisco Theater is waiting for follow-up reinforcements, and we have more than 100,000 people dragged here because of your request!" I don't know how precious exactly you want is, but is it worth so many senseless sacrifices with our soldiers? ”

"It's more precious than you think." Dr. Wright replied with a blank face, "Thomas Bigson would rather give up the opportunity to escape to San Francisco and run to this place where death is certain to be completed, as it has been one of the top secrets of the West Coast Republic and even the WPA for the past few years, and is on the same level as Project 'Noah' on our side, do you understand how important it is?" ”

"I only know that I have sacrificed at least three thousand more warriors for nothing." The general said in a deep voice, "How much more to sacrifice?" ”

"In my opinion, it would be worth sacrificing all the people here, but obviously you wouldn't agree." Dr. Wright looked at the digital map in the command room, and the eastern and southern parts of Las Vegas were mostly occupied by the green marked as his own, while the western city was staggered with red and green, with a few large red patches that had not been directly impacted. "A week...... General, I hope to hold out for another week. I'm pretty sure that Thomas won't be able to finish his work for at least one week, and we'll have a chance to get it. ”

The general raised his eyebrows slightly unexpectedly: "What about a week later?" ”

"A week later, I beg you to destroy Las Vegas with the most powerful weapon of all." There was a hint of solemnity in Wright's tone, "If Project Twilight can't be obtained, then it must be destroyed...... Don't let it get in the way! ”

The general looked at the short old man in front of him, and finally nodded: "A week, no more." ”

However, for Zhao Yu, the past few days have been very difficult.

This is the Battle of the Jedi.

It's one thing to go heroically into a campaign, it's another to know that there won't be reinforcements.

In the beginning, the Deathbringers spent their days patrolling around the base, eliminating Alliance soldiers who tried to invade, and occasionally organizing counter-offensives with friendly forces in other positions, but now their daily tasks have completely changed.

"Four hundred and seven meters in the direction of ten o'clock, a box was found." Zhao Yu glanced at the screen, "I hope we have a little better luck this time." ”

"If that doesn't work, we'll have to withdraw to the base first." Borg snorted, "Alright guys, let's go!" ”

The scarred Spider Chariot began to move forward. This is a zone that has almost lost its value, a few days ago, a fierce offensive and defensive battle broke out here between the Nationalist Army and the Alliance Army at the nearby base, and the consequence was that almost all the buildings in this block were flattened, and there was nothing left except a pile of tank wreckage and soldier corpses, and now this place has lost its strategic value, and almost no one will stay, and this is a good opportunity for Zhao Yu and them.

"This box is a little rotten." Hunter commented.

Their so-called box is actually an MF1 of the same model. The cockpit of the MF1 has been cut in half, and has been completely reduced to large, non-combustible garbage, which is not even worth recycling, but it is what the Deathbringer needs. Due to the lack of MF1 supply and maintenance parts in the base, the useful parts on the two MF1s that were abandoned have long been dismantled, so the main job of Deathbringer during this period has changed from fighting to searching for usable replacement vehicle parts and ammunition on the battlefield, otherwise it will not be able to maintain the daily consumption after that.

"Don't make a fuss, Hunter be on guard, old man, let's go!"

The door of the MF1 cockpit opened, and Borg and Zhao Yu, who had changed into a full set of mecha infantry power armor, jumped out, and the two of them were holding rifles and nervously guarding in place.

"Life scanning, nothing found!" "Infrared scanning, nothing found!"

Borg nodded: "Safe, let's go!" ”

The two of them ran to the abandoned MF1 as fast as they could, Zhao Yu continued to maintain a state of vigilance, and Borg jumped into the cockpit to start checking: "This motherboard is out of play...... This system server seems to still work, take it away! Well, this line is actually intact? It's a miracle! ”

"Sergeant, can you please not read it out when you recycle the parts?" Hunter sat at a distance in the Deathbringer and complained, "I always feel like we're not soldiers, we're garbage dumps. ”

"Shut up Hunter, we're no different from picking up garbage now!" Borg replied angrily, "You think I want to do this kind of work?" …… Old man, I've finished searching the cockpit, now I'm going to look at the ammunition depot. ”

Zhao Yu nodded slightly: "Received, I will continue to maintain vigilance." ”

In this ruin, they are not on the alert of the Union Army, because it is difficult to hide the movements of the Union Army - in the case of absolute superiority in troops, the Union Army rarely adopts the method of infiltrating a small number of troops, and as soon as it is dispatched, it is full of troops, and their actions will be reported to the units of the National Army at the first time, and they do not care much about this matter.

They are on the lookout for civilians.

This incident sounds very bizarre as it sounds, in Las Vegas, which has been beaten into a pot of porridge, even professional soldiers armed to the teeth are not safe, but there are still a group of civilians left in the city, according to the estimates of the people in the base, the number of civilians in this group is about 10,000.

"Don't be left alone, don't leave the vehicle, don't take off your armor outside the base!" Second Lieutenant White Chu of the machine repair garage repeatedly advised, "Also, don't trust any civilians you meet!" All the civilians who remained in Las Vegas at this time were criminals! ”

At first, no one in the crew, including Borg, believed this, until one day, the bodies of two soldiers were brought back. Both of them were members of the 601 Mecha Regiment who had followed Deathbringer all the way from the Nevada desert, causing a little chaos in the base before learning later that they had been attacked by a group of civilians.

"Those bastards, there are actually people wearing standard power armor?" The people in the same group were apprehensive, "We were attacked before we could figure out the situation!" But they don't have a recognition system on their armor at all, and it's a patchwork no matter how you look at it......"

"That's what the guys who stayed in Las Vegas did." The veteran in the base replied, "They stayed here to take advantage of the fire, whether it was the Union Army or the National Army, they were all targets, at first they just grabbed the items in the abandoned combat vehicles, and then developed to forcibly strip off the armor of the war dead, and now these mongrels have hit the idea of the soldiers who are still alive, so I suggest that the next time you see such people open fire, whether they are wearing armor or not, no one is innocent anyway." ”

"Are we going to let these bastards stay in the city and take advantage of the fire?"

"Two reasons, first, that they attack not only us, but also the Confederates, and sometimes they are good barriers; Second, the people who can do this kind of thing are the local snakes in this city, they are far more familiar with the terrain than we are, and we don't even know if these bastards have organized their territory or where their nests are...... Do you think we now have the extra forces to wipe them out? ”

So it became this situation: even if they were picking up garbage, Borg and Zhao Yu had to be vigilant at all times, and their vigilance proved to be far from useless: just two days ago, they encountered an armed civilian team of about ten people, and if it weren't for Zhao Yu's premonition that the problem was discovered in advance, plus Hunter was still in the car and completed a run over with the spider chariot, Zhao Yu was really not sure if he would have returned to the base in good condition that day.

"Seeing that you spend more time scavenging than fighting every day, I can't help but be glad that I didn't act with you was a wise choice." Christine's voice came, "Come on, boys, I'm going to take a hot shower." ”

Taking advantage of the Institute's full technical support from Lieutenant General Benjamin, Christine was able to connect directly with the Borg crew in the makeshift research institute, and now she can listen to the crew's calls at any time, and can also see the real-time live footage through the helmet and the vehicle's camera, as for why only the Borg crew is monitored, only she knows.

"Did you hear what she said?" Borg said, "This woman has a very good character, old man, are you sure you want to chase her?" ”

"Captain, I think we can change the subject," Zhao Yu sighed, "Please move faster, it's getting dark." ”

Girls? It's not that I haven't thought about it...... But everything is still going to wait until you get through that unknown alien assessment!

Seeing that Zhao Yu didn't accept the offer, Borg took care of himself and moved two ammo boxes taller than himself out of the ammunition depot - I have to say that Catherine Zhou is indeed an excellent mechanic, she installed two additional power plants on the power armor, so that they can increase their output by about double their output and move mechanical parts and ammunition weighing hundreds of kilograms back to Deathbringer - no matter how good a mechanic is, it is impossible to conjure ammunition and parts out of thin air, and these days of scavenging is the key to Deathbringer's ability to maintain combat effectiveness so far, You must know that the 601 Mecha Regiment that arrived in Las Vegas at the same time has now eighty percent of the vehicles lying on their stomachs.

The shipment went smoothly until the loot was all loaded back into the Deathbringers, and they were not threatened.

"What's next, Captain?" Zhao Yu was still on guard outside the chariot, "Go back to the base now?" ”

"No hurry, I'll check the car again!" Borg jumped out of the cockpit again, "The wreckage of MF1 around the base is almost looted by us, I guess I'll have to run farther next time I pick up garbage, it's better to make sure again!" ”

"As long as we don't become garbage to be picked up." Hunter said quietly.

"If you can't speak, shut up, Hunter."

This time, Borg is interested in the chassis of the MF1: "If even one engine is in good condition, we will make money today!" ”

But just as Borg was about to burrow under the spider, suddenly a warning message came from Hunter: "A lifeform is approaching!" 80 meters away! Not the Union Army! ”

"80 meters?" Zhao Yu was taken aback, "How did they come out!" ”

"It's underground! The base has been speculating that their nest is in the underground tunnels...... Say no more, sergeant, old man, withdraw it! I'll cover you! ”

"It seems too late!" Zhao Yu had already hid behind the abandoned MF1, "Prepare to take the enemy!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a bullet flew over, making a crisp sound on the MF1's armor.

"The enemy is 12 people, and there is no signal to detect high-power weapons, all of them are ordinary standard weapons!"

"That's great news." Borg climbed out from under the car, raised his gun and began to fire back, "Hunter, give them a shot!" ”

"Roger, bearing confirmed, target locked...... One high-explosive bomb, put! ”

The violent explosion overturned three people on the spot, and the rest of them scattered one after another, but their will to fight was not hit, and they began to shoot continuously, which surprised Zhao Yu: to launch a counterattack against a basically intact MF1 without other artillery fire and heavy fire support, this is a tricky thing for regular mecha infantry, and these civilians who are not even fully equipped with power armor actually did not give up?

"Something is wrong!" Zhao Yu shouted and tried to shoot the enemy, but due to too many obstacles on the ruins, so far no results have been achieved, "Are they crazy?" Really want to take us out? We've got a chariot to back us up! ”

"Who knows, maybe they're just drugged!" Borg replied, "But it's okay, just let Hunter come and pick us up!" ”

Zhao Yu frowned slightly, always feeling that this matter would not be so simple, but at this moment, there was no particularly uneasy premonition in his mind to give him a hint, until he raised his head and inadvertently looked at the gray sky in the distance.

A ridiculous thought suddenly crossed my mind.

"Hell! I think I know what they're going to do, they're going to pester us and ...... Take our MF1! ”

Borg glanced at him in surprise, although he couldn't see his expression when he put down his mask, his tone already explained his attitude: "Have you also taken drugs, old man?" Why did they steal our chariots? That's just a couple of civilians who are not fully armed! ”

"I know that with these few people, they wouldn't have been able to do it even an hour ago!" Zhao Yu said in a low voice, "But now, it will be dark in another thirty minutes at most!" If we don't get back to base before dark...... Commander, what do you think will happen? ”
