"To put it simply, in order to escape from the pursuit of the police, these outlaws will specialize in making some high-horsepower, strong off-road vehicles, and then have a certain bulletproof function, these cars are no different from ordinary cars in appearance, but when the strips step on the accelerator to death and can't see the taillights, they understand."

Vance stopped what he was doing, turned his head and got out of the cab, as if he was going to take a break, "It's a pity that there are no sports cars in this batch, so I can only choose this guy, but it's okay, the bulletproof effect is better, and the off-road ability is stronger." ”

"Is this bulletproof?"

Higgins looked curiously at the bland metal on the door.

"Low-purity Reykjavik alloy, the leftovers that the gangsters get from military enterprises, are processed by themselves in the black workshop, and the ballistic performance is good, but the problem is uneven, some places the machine guns are fine, and some places the pistols can't be stopped, so you don't have to pick, let's make it together."

Vance patted the roof of the car, the whole thing didn't move, and the suspension was clearly replaced with hard springs for off-roading.

"How do you know these things? Sir? ”

Higgins suddenly turned his head and asked, and Vance was stunned for a moment, realizing that he seemed to be talking a little too much.

Just as Vance was about to casually reveal the topic, suddenly, two figures walked in from the door covering each other,

Vance pulled Higgins down and crouched down, made a quiet gesture, and then reached out and pulled the angle of the rearview mirror so that he could see the two men coming in through the door.

Both men were dressed in National Guard uniforms, and Vance breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was considering whether to hide and wait for the two to pass, Higgins suddenly jumped out.

"Allies!"

The two soldiers on the opposite side saw Higgins and slowly lowered the guns in their hands.

"I'm from the 12th Division of the Maryland National Guard, and we're separated from the troops." Higgins started by introducing himself.

"Second Lieutenant Lennon, Company C, 1st Regiment, 1st Regiment, 2nd Division, SAR National Guard. We, too, were separated from the big army. One of the two officers revealed his identity as soon as he came up, and then looked at Vance who walked out of the back of the car with a helpless face, "What about you?" ”

"The Fourth Division of the SAR National Guard is provisionally formed." Vance reluctantly raised his hand and saluted the second lieutenant, "Sir." ”

"Provisional Fourth Division?" The second lieutenant frowned. "That's the criminal......"

"Big hero, now is not the time to talk about this, we have to find a way to get out of here now!" The sergeant major, who was standing in the back, stepped forward a little presumptuously and interrupted the second lieutenant's words, and then looked at Vance, "And it seems that Corporal Jackson, you already have a way?" ”

"Just call me Vance, sir." Vance nodded, "I found this car, and if the ACA's encirclement isn't fully closed, then we should be able to rush out." ”

"But we haven't received the order to retreat......"

"Okay big hero, let's face it. Washington has fallen, the regular army can't stop those birdmen, you let our militia and people die? I also have a tour of Europe organized by the company next month, so I don't want to die here! The sergeant major stepped forward and introduced himself with a friendly smile at Vance. Adamson, just call me Parker. ”

"Parker, you ......," the lieutenant glared at Parker. The latter, however, didn't care at all, and Vance noticed that the two men were about the same age. There is only a difference in rank.

"Anyway, anyway, let's get out of here first, what do you think?" Vance had no choice but to make a false deal with these two people first, "We can't change the situation of the battle with a few of us." Let's get out of here and send the information out, and then ask for reinforcements. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Higgins chimed in.

"Alright then," the lieutenant finally nodded, "then let's go." ”

Vance nodded, the addition of these two men was unexpected. But it can't be helped, after all, multiple people may really be able to use it at a critical time at this time.

"The car is ready, let's hit the road."

Vance took the initiative to get into the cab, but he couldn't give the steering wheel to anyone else, especially the second lieutenant Lennon.

Heroes are not a compliment, life matters.

***

"The ACA shouldn't have cordoned off the area to the south yet, their paratroopers should still be busy capturing important facilities, and we're going all the way southeast, past Nationals Park, and then across the Anacostia River."

Inside the crowded SUV, Vance held the steering wheel intently, pricked up his ears, and listened to the sergeant major make plans, while the second lieutenant next to him looked at the map they had ripped off the roadside billboard and said nothing.

"What do you think, Lieutenant Lennon?"

Higgins, who sat in the assistant's seat, was clearly a big believer in the theory of military rank, and at this time he was concerned with the opinion of the Supreme Commander, Second Lieutenant Lennon.

"No problem." Lennon was silent for a moment and nodded, "If I were the commander of the ACA, I would definitely shrink the line of defense before reinforcements arrived, the two rivers in Washington provide a good barrier, as long as the bridge is blown up, the alliance will not be able to organize a counteroffensive before the arrival of the large army." ”

"Even if the bridge is not broken, we will not be able to organize a counterattack." Sergeant Major Parker pouted, "Five hours ago I was in front of my computer preparing the reports I was going to hand in before leaving work, and I was thinking about what to bring with me on a trip to Europe, five hours was not enough time for me to become a savior." ”

"If you had attended the training camp on time, maybe it wouldn't have been like this." Second Lieutenant Lennon retorted nonchalantly, the two of them seemed to be very familiar, so familiar that they could even ignore the rank of Cheng Dù.

But how did these two men with such different views on war and duty become friends?

"Sir." Vance suddenly thought of something, and then turned his head, "Do you have your phones with you?" ”

"I'll take it." Sergeant Major Parker took out his phone and looked at it, "One bar, there was still no signal just now." ”

"What do you want this for?" Ensign Lennon asked as he watched Parker unlock his phone and handed it to Vance.

"My wife...... Or ex-wife, I want to ask where she is," Vance expertly dialed with a steering wheel in one hand and thumb in the other, "and she was supposed to get on a plane out of Washington this morning." But I now wish she had flown away a long time ago, or hadn't flown yet. ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, after all, the ACA would definitely shoot down all aircraft, including civil ones.

"No signal, no connection." Second Lieutenant Lennon shook his head, and opened what he had just wanted to say. Suddenly, Higgins in the front row shouted.

"Thomas. Lennon, Lennon Ensign, I remember, it's you! Battle heroes of the Alliance! ”

Higgins's babbling voice made Vance also remember, this second lieutenant Lennon was quite famous in the Washington area about half a year ago, he didn't remember the specific details, in short, he must have fought bravely or something, and won a lot of medals.

"yes. Big heroes, one leg for three medals, the officers and lords are like that, they will send you a few iron medals and you will be thrown out of the army, thrown to the National Guard, the salary will be halved, the allowance will be completely lost, what good is there for a hero. ”

Sergeant Major Parker puts the map away. Yin and Yang sarcastically satire, but there was a bit of grievance for Lennon in his words.

"Don't talk about the past." Ensign Lennon himself was a little embarrassed. "Thanks to Corporal Vance's car, otherwise my mechanical leg wouldn't be fast."

"Look, look, you gave the alliance a leg, those officers and gentlemen are reluctant to give you even a military-grade prosthetic, the medical one is still the old model." Sorry, your health insurance only covers this model's stupid, right? ”

"Parker, we didn't fight for this...... Let's talk ...... again."

"Okay, okay, don't say it, my ears can hear calluses." Parker shook his hand, "If only I could get out this time." Lao Tzu is dead, what is wrong with civilians, the ACA has the ability to slaughter Washington. ”

"!!"

Just when Sergeant Major Parker complained, Vance, who was speeding down the deserted street, suddenly saw a yellow school bus rushing out of the side, he slammed the steering wheel, flicked his tail to avoid it, and the heavy SUV tail hit the middle of the school bus directly, and at the same time the school bus glass shattered, a deafening cry came into the car.

"Let's go down and have a look!!"

Second Lieutenant Lennon pushed open the car door and squeezed out of the narrow gap between the two cars, while Sergeant Major Parker grabbed the right hand of Vance who was about to put gear, shook his head, and then looked at Higgins in the front row, "Go and see." ”

"Yes, sir."

Higgins pushed the car door directly and jumped out of the SUV with a gun, while Parker looked at the school bus next to him with a bitter face and shook his head.

"I know why you wear this skin, and I don't want to, but if you wear this skin, you can accept your fate."

With that, Sergeant Major Parker jumped out of the car.

Vance was silent for a moment, raised his hand and slammed the steering wheel, and was the last to get out of the car.

***

"What's going on, why didn't you evacuate! It's dangerous on the streets right now! Evacuate now! ”

Vance jumped out of the car and heard the angry voice of Second Lieutenant Lennon, the door to the cab of the school bus was opened, and a woman of about twenty-three or four-year-old ran out and shouted.

"Help us! The car is full of kids, we have to get out of here! ”

"Calm down, are you the teacher of these children?" Second Lieutenant Lennon glanced up at the smashed glass, the body recessed in a large chunk, and it was a miracle that it didn't turn over, and a few bold boys were already lying on the edge of the window and watching carefully.

"It's a soldier!"

"We are teachers and students of the International Primary School in the Special Administrative Region, we must escape from here, can you protect us?"

Vance followed the voice to look at the teacher, her voice visibly hoarse from the transition shouting, her face blackened with dust and smoke, and stained with tears, like a clown who deliberately drew attention and made up indiscriminately, and besides, her left arm was wrapped in a rag that soaked with blood, apparently a gunshot wound from a rather severe one.

"You should hurry to the nearest shelter! Aren't there shelters in schools? It would be nice to let them all in like an air defense exercise! ”

Sergeant Major Parker had carefully inspected the damaged condition of both vehicles before he walked over and interjected.

“ACA…… The ACA is slaughtering children," the young female teacher reached out to cover her mouth, tears glistening in her eyes again, "there was a bomb...... I don't know how to blow up the shelter...... A lot of people died...... We managed to get out. ”

"It's a deflected ground-penetrating bomb...... Higgins lowered his head, his voice was very muffled, "The ACA used a ground-penetrating bomb, and our division commander was also killed by a ground-penetrating bomb." ”

"You say the ACA doesn't even spare children?" Vance frowned and confirmed.

"They came in along the area where it was blown up, and we asked them for help, but they didn't say anything and just opened fire...... Everyone else is dead...... I can only take these with me...... I can only save these ......"

The female teacher gave up on her legs, fell to her knees, and cried again.

"You're already amazing." Second Lieutenant Lennon stepped forward, half-knelt on the ground, and patted her on the shoulder, this girl who was at most three or four years older than her own daughter was able to save so many children from a group of paratroopers like hungry wolves, even if she had the luck to go against the sky, she had to have the courage to go against the sky.

"I'm going to escort them out, and those who have an opinion can leave," Second Lieutenant Lennon stood up, turned to look at the three men behind him, and then pointed to the car, "However, I'm going to take this SUV with me, I don't think you're going to be great enough to grab a car with a bunch of kids." ”

"I'm with you, sir." Higgins spoke directly.

"What else can I say," Sergeant Parker sighed and shook his head, "Don't expect me to be a hero. ”

Vance didn't speak, just nodded, he had no doubt that if he objected, the little man in front of him who exuded a heroic aura would shoot him with one shot.

"Then let's go, Parker, you go drive the school bus, Vance with you, teacher, you calm the children, I'll drive the SUV in front of the road, Higgins you come with me."

"Yes!!" (To be continued......)
