Chapter 23: Intransigence

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The victory of the Zaragoza counterattack heralded that the Spanish Liberation War had completely entered the stage of liquidation and finishing, although the alliance paid a large number of casualties in the Pyrenees, but still achieved matching results, but on the other hand, the Alpine front still made no progress after occupying far more manpower and material resources than the Spanish front, which undoubtedly embarrassed the Icarus side, and the European theater of operations will inevitably break through the Italian defense line by any means in the next few months......"

The raindrop-like warheads fell densely in the camps of the entire theater headquarters, and the one-minute warning time was far less than the situation during a normal exercise, and the bases, which were already panicked, blew up the moment the alarm sounded, and the few units that were not even able to organize an orderly concealment and evacuation, and a large number of second-line troops lacking combat experience scattered aimlessly in all directions under the missile attack.

However, coincidentally, this just reduced casualties, according to the general principle of missile sneak attack, most of the first batch of warheads used were ground-penetrating bombs or bunker-destroying bombs used to kill and injure targets dodging in bunkers, and this kind of warhead was slightly less effective than high-explosive warheads for the ACA soldiers running around the ground.

The ACA soldiers, who had come to their senses, finally showed their basic instincts and began to evacuate in an orderly manner - anyway, the evacuation order had already been scattered, and the base commander must have been blown to pieces in the attack just now, so everyone should be safe and flee for their lives.

"Calm down, this little thing is not difficult for Ling Yu."

Payne grabbed Vivian, who was about to jump downstairs from the side, and half-knelt on the windowsill of a small building, from which the view was not very good. But it was hidden enough, he pressed the headset, and was about to speak, when Ling Yu's voice came from the channel.

"I'm Ling Yu, I'm fine." Because it is trapped underground, the radio waves do not work very well. Intermittently, "Arya, release the drone and scan the ruins!" ”

"Yes!"

On the other side of the base, Arya responded as she dragged a large drone out of the car and threw it into the sky, she had already jumped off the roof of the building, and she was going to rush in to pick up Ling Yu by car.

"Scan the entire subsurface of the base, and then send it to the cavern." Ling Yu's voice became a little clearer, "I have to hurry up and find the computer room!" ”

"You're crazy!!"

Vivien finally couldn't help but break the radio silence. yelled at the radio, "Now what we're going to do is get you out of this!" ”

"There is no second Muhammad to give us information!" Ling Yu opened his mouth to explain for the first time, "If you can't get a few jΓΉ here, then it's all over!" ”

"You-"

"Arya, give me the scan!"

Ling Yu didn't dwell on it anymore, and directly turned off Vivian's communication permissions, and then spoke to Arya.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Upgrading, sir! ”

Arya was silent for only a moment. The results of the scan were passed to Ling Yu, and Payne held Vivien's shoulder. Gently shook his head and turned off the microphone.

"I have a way, don't worry."

Vivien gritted her teeth, but in the end she chose to believe in this old and steady knight uncle, and inadvertently, the diffused telekinetic power had twisted the metal guardrail she was holding into a strange shape.

***

"I'm in the computer room."

Ling Yu kept running along the passage. He smashed open the last blast door with a punch, and the moment he rushed into the computer room, he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop suddenly.

Immediately afterward, a red warning light flashed from his left eye, almost at the same time. Ling Yu also felt a wave of dizziness, and immediately after, his mechanical lungs also sounded an alarm.

"Captain! You're in a high concentration of carbon dioxide! It should be an automatic measure to prevent the fire in the computer room after being attacked! ”

Ling Yu didn't answer Arya, held her breath, reached out and touched it back, but only touched a lanyard.

Damn, Ling Yu held his breath and shook his head, the waist pack with the breathing mask on his back disappeared from the explosion just now.

High concentration ...... carbon dioxide.

Ling Yu hesitated slightly, he glanced at the entire computer room, and then rushed in directly.

Although ordinary people will die in a few seconds in a high concentration of carbon dioxide, the TF itself has a certain lethal gas resistance, and Ling Yu also has a mechanical lung, if it is just a computer room, if it is just a copy of data, he should be able to hold on!

The young man rushed directly to the console in the main room, but the line displayed on it made him smash his fist on the panel.

"The hardware system is damaged, please call the maintenance personnel."

"Bastard!" Turning his head to see the main server that had been cut in half, the continuous frustration made Ling Yu's eyes red, he didn't care about the deadly carbon dioxide concentration, took a deep breath, and then turned his head and rushed directly to the other evacuation channel next to him!

Since the server was destroyed, it means that the two of them must have obtained the key number jΓΉ, this is their only possible evacuation route, and they must catch up!

Ling Yu's gaze flashed with a frenzied light, and the successive setbacks made him like a lone wolf who had lost his prey, and he desperately squeezed the last strength in his body to make his steps as fast as possible.

This time, no matter what, there must be no more failures!

"Captain! This passage is a kilometer long, and the carbon dioxide concentration is already very dangerous for TF! You can't hold on! ”

"Captain!!"

Arya's eager shouts kept coming, Ling Yu gritted her teeth and directly closed the communication line!

If it's her...... Definitely wouldn't give up in this kind of place!

If it's her...... If it's her......

If it were her, how could she fail in such a simple matter and fail again and again!!

Ling Yu clenched his fists tightly, he could barely feel his legs, his right eye had lost vision, and he could only barely rely on his left eye, which was already full of blood-red warnings, to move forward little by little, he felt as if he was leaning against the wall, but he couldn't feel his right hand at all. He didn't even feel himself breathing, as if he was completely anesthetized, losing sensation in his body.

Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, Ling Yu no longer knows if he is still advancing, or if he has fallen to the ground and cannot get up. He could only keep giving orders to his body to move forward, as if the target he was going to pursue was in front, and it seemed that Char. Pierre stood at the end of the road, looking at him with a mocking gaze.

It seemed that he had already fallen, because the scene coming from his left eye had not changed, and Ling Yu stretched out his hand with difficulty and pressed it against the metal floor.

Then, a violent explosion knocked him unconscious.

***

"Go ahead."

Just when Ling Yu interrupted the communication with Ariyah. Payne let go of the hand on Vivien's shoulder and shook his head helplessly.

Vivien didn't speak, just flipped out of the windowsill with a straight push, and the girl used the power cushion under her body to reduce the impact of the fall, and then stretched out her hand, pulled out two boxes of explosives in the alley next to her, threw them into the cargo box of a truck next to her, pulled open the door and rushed into the driver's seat.

"Don't forget the breathing mask!"

The moment Vivien started the truck. Payne had landed on the roof of the truck, and he rolled over and got into the cab. Then he handed Vivien a mask.

"Arya, how's the analysis going?"

"It's no problem, I'll upload the captain's location to you now, and the specific explosion point."

There was a constant sound of shooting from Arya's side, apparently in the midst of a fierce battle, "Just detonate the truck at the designated location." I'm clearing the evacuation path for you, and it's not hard to get there. ”

"I'm sorry for you." Payne glanced at Arya's upload and replied that Arya would keep things in order as she would at all times, and no one needed to worry about it.

A truck rushed straight into the gates of the base. Originally, Vivien and Payne still needed to worry about the obstacles of the crash gate or other fortifications, but now that the ACA soldiers were fleeing, these obstacles were naturally opened, and not even a single ACA soldier fired a gun at the civilian truck during the entire impact.

"This is it!"

The distance of several hundred meters flashed under Vivian's full speed driving, and the moment the girl reminded her, Payne also pushed the car door and jumped out of the cab directly, continuously rolling to remove the force, and after seeing Vivian also come out, he pressed the detonator in his hand.

The truck crashed heavily into the ruins of the collapsed building, and then was directly reduced to metal parts by explosives, and the violent explosion also ignited the goods on the car, a whole car of polyurethane-type construction sponge, this sponge burns quickly to produce a large amount of cyano-containing gas, these gases are very toxic, suffocating, and have a good visual cover effect, although the ACA's base garrison is basically paralyzed, but the smoke can still help Vivian and Payne solve a lot of trouble.

Another result of the explosion was that a huge hole was made in the ruins, not only the collapsed ruins, but also a pit several meters deep, directly destroying the metal passage below.

"Ling Yu!"

Vivien sped into the smoke with her telekinetic momentum, flicking her white power hammer with her backhand and slamming it down on the collapsing pipe.

"If the signal is correct, it's three meters in front of you to the left, be careful not to hit it."

Arya reminded at the right time.

"Stoned him to deathβ€”tskβ€”"

Vivien, who swallowed the dirty words back into her stomach, vented her anger on the hammer, and the metal protective wall was directly smashed open, Payne grabbed Vivien, and then rushed directly in, dragging Ling Yu out on the ground.

"I'll talk about it when I go back if there's any problem!"

Payne interrupted Vivian, who was about to speak, and at this moment, the off-road vehicle driven by Arya rushed into the smoke and stopped in front of the three of them with a flick.

"I've had enough of this place."

Quickly climbing into the car, Vivien eventually muttered indignantly.

Arya spun the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out of the chaotic ACA base.

***

"The person who followed us is likely to be Ling Yu."

Just as Ling Yu and the others were leaving the base, on the other side of the base, on an off-road vehicle that was also driving in the opposite direction of the base, Snake Eye suddenly spoke for no reason.

"Ling Yu?" Louise frowned slightly, in fact, she and Snakeeye knew that someone was eavesdropping when they interrogated the base commander, so Louise directly interrupted the interrogation of the base commander, and the next actions, the two of them also handled exactly the situation of being followed, such as closing the blast doors along the way, and activating the fire alarm to release carbon dioxide.

"What is he doing here?" Louise frowned slightly, unconsciously clenching the steering wheel.

"A lot of people want the virus, whether it's the Alliance or Kronos," Snakeeye closed his eyes and shook his head, "but we still have an advantage. ”

"Other forces must get the virus, only us, and it is okay to completely destroy the virus."

After a few seconds of silence, Snakeeye added.

"How's that going?" Louise nodded, then changed the subject, "Don't forget that we're not really working for Mozart. ”

"I know in my heart, you don't have to worry about this matter." Snake Eyes replied nonchalantly, "It's not time yet, just right, Ling Yu will become our stepping stone, only if they make a lot of trouble, we will have a chance to retrieve the treasure of the Seven Society." ”

Treasure? Louise frowned, but didn't speak, holding the steering wheel tightly. (To be continued......)
