"Breaking news! The Allies launched a massive air raid on the ACA in the South African theater of operations two hours ago! According to the analysis, the alliance's good tactical deception has caused a huge effect of the air strikes, but the ACA will inevitably launch a counterattack, and there is no news from the ACA yet......"

"I'm not worried about him......" Jesse's tone was a little hesitant, "but...... The carnage has only just begun. ”

"I hope you won't be naïve enough to trade chips for them," Ling Yu walked up to the girl, raised her hand and patted Jiesi's arm, "I remember that the Knights never negotiated with the ACA. ”

"It's not a negotiation, don't worry, boss." Jesse shook her head and took a deep breath, "This chip is in the hands of the ACA, and more people will die, no matter what, I will escort you and the chip to the Alliance." ”

"It's just...... The president and the list are in the hands of the ACA, and if I don't destroy the list, these people will have to wait for death. ”

"Don't do anything stupid." Ling Yu glanced at the jeep that was getting closer and closer, and grabbed Jiesi's wrist, "If my judgment is correct, the ACA move is so big, eighty percent of it is already known from the chairman's brain, if you break into the base now, even you will not be able to get out of the way." ”

"If only to destroy the main computer and 'Yuri'...... I mean, destroying the list of members of the hermit that they got from the president......" Jess bit her lower lip with hesitation and confusion in her words, "Sleeping, breaking, isn't this the normal work of TF?" ”

"But that was when the enemy was defenseless, not to die." Ling Yu sighed, it was a helplessness for this princess's elm head, and gave a reason that he couldn't fully believe,

"Don't think about it, let's go, when we go back, we will apply for an alliance to bomb the Alberton base, and if it doesn't work, we will put pressure on the Knights of Guò to protect the believers."

Jess didn't respond, so Ling Yu grabbed her hand and walked towards the jeep that had stopped in the distance.

"Second Lieutenant, Special Reconnaissance Company, South African Theater of Operations, Harold."

"Ling Yu."

The man with the assault rifle stretched out his hand to Ling Yu, the two shook hands politely, and another soldier behind him walked over with two cards.

"This is your new ID card, which can trick the genetic scanner and use fake genes."

"Thank you, this is the chip, a qiē is fine." Ling Yu nodded and handed the box containing the chip to the other party.

Second Lieutenant Harold opened the box, then took the scanner handed by a soldier behind him, and scanned it at the chip, and the scanner lit up green.

"No problem, let's go." The second lieutenant nodded, returned the box to Ling Yu, and made a gesture of please, and Ling Yu followed his hand and sat in the assistant seat of the jeep.

However, when the young man closed the car door, he found that the knight girl in blue was still standing in place, just loading up the new identity card.

Ling Yu's heart sank, and he was about to speak, but Jiesi spoke first.

"Boss, it seems that the chip is no longer a problem, then I will send you here."

"Don't go crazy!" Ling Yu opened the car door and jumped out of the jeep, "What's the point of you going to die like this, even if you want to save people, wouldn't a chief knight with extraordinary abilities be able to save more people if he survives?" ”

"If you run away once, you will keep running away, and this is not a trade-off, but pure cowardice." Facing Ling Yu's questioning, Jiesi shook her head, still with her signature smile, "Besides, as far as the equipment strength of the ACA here in South Africa is concerned, it may not be able to stop me." ”

"You said you were a soldier," Ling Yu felt powerless for a while—he was really not good at this kind of theoretical debate, "then obey orders." ”

"Soldiers are different from bandits because they understand what they are fighting for." Jess still only shook her head lightly, "I obviously understand the reason for my fight, and I know that my strength is strong, but I just think every time, 'next time, maybe there will be a better chance next time'...... I'm sorry, but that's not my style of doing things. ”

"Just like I entrusted you with the chip, I believe in only the number of lives, and this chip can save tens of millions of people, so I accompany you here; Again, if I had a chance to trade my life for more lives, I wouldn't mind giving it a try. ”

"Life cannot be measured by quantity!" Ling Yu gritted his teeth - if the topic slipped towards the "barrier issue" like this, then the argument would be meaningless.

"It's okay, I made my choice a long time ago," Jess shook her head, "to save more people, maybe there will be bad guys among them, maybe there will be children like Ethan among them, maybe save three thousand people, there will be two of them, three new chief knights, it's a simple arithmetic problem, isn't it?" ”

"I can't tell you!" Ling Yu shook his head helplessly, if Han Fei was here, he might still be able to try to convince this tenacious princess, but Ling Yu, who had always been accustomed to speaking with his fists, could not do anything about this kind of occasion, "But I am your boss, you have to listen to me." ”

"Then I'll resign, and if I don't die, I hope you can hire me back."

Jiesi simply handed over her resignation report, and then bowed deeply to Ling Yu, "Thank you for taking care of you these days, thank you." ”

Then, the girl in blue turned around and left without looking back.

"Mr. Ling Yu?"

After being silent for a while, Harold reminded the sluggish Ling Yu in a loud voice.

", it's my, if you love to die, I'll send it away!" Ling Yu looked at Jiesi's back, kicked the grass, turned around and got into the car without hesitation, and slammed the car door angrily.

"Let's go! Get out of this hellish place. ”

***

Ling Yu had a dream.

The young man in the dream seemed to go back to fourteen years ago, it was an ordinary Sunday, he was standing under the huge Ferris wheel of the playground, he saw himself, at that time, like countless laughing children in the amusement park, pulling his parents from one to the amusement ride.

At that time, he was just an ordinary person, an ordinary life, an ordinary growth, and then looking for a job, but definitely not including the option of joining the army.

What changed this qiē?

Yes, it's a sentence, and in the impression of young people, there is only this sentence.

"The light of evolution shines on all mankind!"

This was the only impression he had of the terrorist attack at that time, which killed and injured more than 400 people.

Then, he became an orphan, became a TF, and became a young soldier of the League.

Until his body was once again tossed high by the blast wave of the explosion and fell into the cold, salty waters.

"We're not going to die here, I'm going to let you live, so don't give up, no matter what...... Don't give up! ”

The warm hand pushed him soaking wet onto the half-broken life raft, and the burning sea city in the distance was constantly exploding, and the shards of metal were thrown high and fell into the water beside him, cold to the bone.

Do people get used to their own incompetence? So much so that it became the norm to sit on the sidelines.

Yes, people are animals, and for animals, it's instinct to live, isn't it?

Why, then, would anyone save others?

If all people live just to live, then why are you living? You should have died.

Ling Yu trembled all over, and the moment he opened his eyes, the jeep was turned upside down by the uneven crater, and his body shook a little, almost hitting the low roof.

"Are you alright?"

Harold, who was holding the steering wheel, subconsciously asked, but Ling Yu didn't give an answer, but asked, "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

"Half an hour," Harold glanced at the road ahead, there was nothing to dodge, and his hands off the steering wheel lit a cigarette, "this is really a simple mission, nothing happens, I heard that in order to meet us, the Eastern Front launched a large-scale air raid, so the ACA should not be able to spare air power to attack us." ”

"What about the checkpoints?" Ling Yu raised his head, and a checkpoint guarded by the main battle tank appeared on the horizon.

"We have bought a quartermaster, we are now escorting a confidential document, and when we get out of the last checkpoint in front, we will change into ACA uniforms, go to the front line disguised as sappers, and infiltrate the Alliance." Harold recounted the detailed evacuation plan, and there was inevitably a smug taste in his words, "You are really valuable, I heard that the Secret Service activated a lieutenant colonel lurking on the front line of the ACA, just to get you out." ”

"I'm not worth anything, it's this that is valuable." Ling Yu smiled bitterly, leaned sideways and put his hand into his waist bag, and took out the box containing the chip.

However, when he put the box back, his fingers touched another box.

It was the box of prehistoric civilizations he had gotten from the "stapler", the box that he and Jesse had not been able to open all night.

"Stop."

Ling Yu almost subconsciously spit out two words, Harold also reflexively stepped on the brakes, Ling Yu raised his head, less than three kilometers in the distance, is the last checkpoint of the ACA, and 25 kilometers further south, is the control area of the alliance.

Twenty-eight kilometers, this is the distance between him and safety, the distance between him and ten million universal coins.

"Take it, give this to Deputy Director Anderson."

Ling Yu sighed deeply, once again took out the box containing the chip and threw it to Harold, and then took out the box with the decoder and threw it to the soldier next to him, "Give me your pistol and tactical knife." ”

"You don't want to go back, do you?" Harold took the box, carefully packed it, and asked questions as he pulled out his pistol.

"You should have received orders." Ling Yu took the pistol, although it was not a Type 2125, but a MK66 that was standard in the Alliance, but he still skillfully checked it, the gun was in good condition, "If I try to destroy or keep the chip, you have the right to kill me." ”

Harold raised his eyebrows, Ling Yu was obviously right.

"So, you're here to pick up the chip, not me, so let's go, the task is done."

Ling Yu inserted the gun into the holster, hung the tactical knife on the tactical belt of his right leg, patted the second lieutenant on the shoulder, and then jumped out of the car, "I still have some personal matters to deal with. ”

Don't die, stupid princess.

Ling Yu no longer paid attention to the jeep behind him, clenched his fists, and ran away.

***

"It seems that it will not be possible to hide it any further."

Just as Ling Yu began to run, Jess stood outside the blockade line of the Alberton base, the largest military base in the ACA South African theater.

The girl disguised as an ACA female officer raised her head and looked at the flashing red warning lights on the drone in the distance, she successfully infiltrated Johannesburg by disguise, but looking at the other party's waiting formation, I am afraid that the easy route will end here.

Raising her hand and pressing the hairpin, the optical camouflage receded like a tide, revealing a girl in a blue riding suit staring at the LBA-3 main battle tank directly in front of her, showing a contemptuous smile.

Without warning, as if the LBA-3 tank had been insulted, or had received an order, the muzzle suddenly burst into a fireball, and the APFSDS armor-piercing projectile propelled by the chemical propellant flew out of the smoothbore, and the moment the butt flew away, the long arrow-shaped armor-piercing projectile hit the girl's right arm.

In an instant, it was not so much the shell that hit the girl, but the girl's arm that hit the shell - the girl, whose left eye flashed an inorganic luster, struck from the bottom to the top, and the APFSDS shell, which was enough to severely damage the main battle tank, was directly sent flying!

"No one has ever told you to deal with TF, at least use an electromagnetic cannon?"

Jesse ripped off the sleeve of her right arm that was burned by the high temperature of the shell, and the moment the second tank on the right side was ejected, the girl knight leaned forward and rushed straight towards the defense line of the Alberton base!
