Chapter 61: Lighting the Fuse (I)
“…… We have been able to confirm that ACA special operations personnel have infiltrated the east coast of North America, their purpose and operational plans are not yet known, and we have transmitted information, including suspicious persons, to the CBI Counter-Special Operations Division, and will continue to maintain investigations of targets outside the country......"
-- South American Division of the Special Investigation Bureau, September 9, 2180, to Deborah. Francis's secret intelligence.
“…… Dear President Francis, we believe that a limited attack on the East Coast would be a great opportunity to pursue the Collective Defense Act, and if you order the CBI to ignore that warning, you will have the support of the military that we represent......"
-- Chief of the Army General Staff, Edward. charles
“…… I have given the order that the CBI will terminate the intervention, but you must ensure that the damage control is within acceptable limits, otherwise I will reconsider whether you are qualified for your current position......"
-- President Deborah. Francis replied on October 3, 2180.
“…… The attack in New York has nothing to do with the ACA infiltrators, I hope you will be on the alert, the threat of the ACA is still on the east coast of the United States, strengthen the defense of populated areas and military-industrial areas, but do not enter the city of Cambridge, where another combat unit is already in charge of the security ......"
-- President Deborah. Francis replied on October 20.

Something happened!
When the fire alarm sounded, this idea subconsciously appeared in the minds of the two girls, who were originally standing opposite each other and like fire and water.
People who have been fighting on the front line all year round will have a strong sensitivity to this kind of alarm kind of thing, for them. There weren't so many surprises, and it was already a habit to treat any inconspicuous alarm as a real threat - even though Vivien had only been on the battlefield for a year, Ling Yu had already taught her this countless times.
However, while Vivien was only in the gut of doubt, Herris's frightened expression was revealed.
Because all the drones she deployed in the room of Bokenshi. At this time, they were all offline, and I didn't check the status of these drones for several hours!
Helis's expression instantly made Vivien aware of the problem, and the girl in a black evening dress with gold trim stepped forward and grabbed Helis's arm, who was still stunned.
"There's no time, put on your boots!"
Helis didn't care to nod, and with a flip of her left hand, a spherical drone next to her flew into her palm, and she stretched out her right hand and gently pressed it on the holographic screen a few times. Then, a shrill siren was heard from the residential area in the distance.
In the room where Helis had lived for a year, the attic ceiling on the third floor slowly opened to the sides, and a cone-shaped silver rocket slowly slid onto the launch frame with the help of a robotic arm, and then ignited into the air, the stubby rocket obviously couldn't fly far, but it was enough to cover most of the whole of Cambridge and Boston.
The rocket that burst into the sky quickly ran out of fuel and followed a predetermined trajectory. Under the adjustment of the wings, he plunged headlong in the direction where Helis was. It slammed into the grass four or five meters away from Heris, splashing up a patch of withered grass roots and black dirt.
At the same time, in the room where Helis was, all the machines began to enter the self-destruct program, and their circuit boards were automatically shorted, generating thousands of degrees of heat in the location of the hard drives. Then all the numbers are melted down into a pile of worthless metal.
The garage door opened automatically, the camouflage floor was lifted, and a large number of drones entered the ejection program, limited by the environment, not many of these drones were equipped with large-caliber weapons of the main battle type. But they were fast filling the whole city of Cambridge with Helice's eyes and ears.
Ejecting the drone in his hand, Helis rushed to the rocket that fell in the distance in an instant, the indicator light in the middle of the rocket body flashed, and the shell was directly blown away, and then, at the same time as the main control computer self-destructed, a group of equipment racks stretched out from the arrow body.
Helis threw off his heels as he lunged at the rocket, then jumped straight forward, his legs into the power boots held in place by the robotic arm—a huge change from the one two years ago, the most obvious change being that they stretched from above the knee and almost enclosed the entire thigh.
In addition, the power boots used by the girl two years ago are only a part of the power armor, although they take into account that the user may use the legs as weapons, but they are not specially designed products, this new pair of boots has been specially strengthened in the heels, toes, insteps, calf fronts, knees, these places that will be used as weapons, in addition, the more powerful spouts, the larger capacity of the built-in fuel tank, so that the combat effectiveness of Helis has been greatly improved.
The change in equipment did not stop at the boots, as Helis jumped into the boots, the mechanical arm also automatically put the silver cloak on her body, except for the iconic cat ears, the biggest change occurred at the hem of the cloak, the cloak was split from the front, more like a long windbreaker, and at the end of the hem, a row of silver blades shone in the dark night, like bloodthirsty wolf teeth.
"The new line is good."
Vivien flipped out the "innocent" power hammer she had put aside while Helis was dressing, and the girl carried the hammer taller than herself on her shoulder, crossed her waist with one hand, and looked at Helis.
The arm let go, and Helis landed steadily, the tail spout of the power boot initiating a self-test, the test jet of flames blowing up the hem of her white robe, and the metal blades clanging against each other.
The first time I wore it, I wasn't as skilled as you.
Helis turned, and the two men looked at each other for a second, realizing that the other was holding their hands - Vivien hadn't pulled out the hammer, and Helis wasn't perfectly dressed.
Why am I so knowledgeable to her?
A common thought appeared in the hearts of the two little women, but in the next second, they all frowned, and then turned their heads to look at the location of Bokenshi's room.
"Inform Ling Yu, there are others."
Vivien left a message for Helis, and then with a flip of her right hand, she stuck the hammer on the ground, and the light strip of the power hammer turned from blue to green, and the last four wheels protruded from the top of the hammer. Directly turned into a scooter.
"Go first!"
Vivien jumped onto the hammer with a somersault, grabbed the grip of the hammer with one hand, and gave a playful salute to Helis.
But the scene of Vivien riding in the dust did not appear, and suddenly, the sound of a bullet breaking through the air was heard, and the blonde girl was directly hit hard. Tumbling and crashing into a nearby tree.
Electromagnetic rifle!
At the moment when Vivian was hit, Helis's drone had already issued an early warning, the girl in the white cloak was on tiptoe, and a backward jump dodged the bullet that shot at her, and with a wave of her right hand, a drone that had just arrived quickly climbed up with a roller, and then shot the high-explosive fragmentation projectile under the belly directly to the top floor of a small building next to it.
The explosion sounded, and the drone swooped down as quickly as it could—like that rocket, Helis had to make sure that the altitude of his flying units did not touch the Alliance's air defense nets. So as not to bring more unnecessary trouble.
But Helis didn't have time to observe the results, as soon as the girl turned around and flew straight into the air, the sound of gold and iron clashing came, and the scimitar in the hand of a TF in sportswear slammed into her boots.
Helis twisted the right ankle of the opponent's blade, pulled away the opponent's scimitar, and then took his left foot into the air, and the spout instantly gave his left leg a huge amount of power. Let the girl spin and kick the other in the head.
A somersault with her right hand and Helis landed on both feet. The jet turned on, grabbed the right hem of the cloak with his right hand, and the whole person spun and soared into the air, directly pounced on the enemy who had just been kicked by himself!
Made of Reykjavík alloy, the metal blade with a layer of Lange alloy attached to the blade of the blade cuts straight to your opponent like a circular saw!
During the battle two years ago. The biggest problem exposed by Helis is the lack of the ability to bleed with sharp objects - although many times, the kinetic impact generated by her kicks can hurt the opponent through the opponent's armor or protection, but once the opponent has formed a crush in physique and strength, or there is another way to avoid the kinetic energy caused by blunt object strikes. Helis's attack would be useless.
Therefore, Helis specially designed this extremely sharp blade as a complement to himself.
Blood splattered out, and the sharp blade sliced through the opponent's body with the jet boost of the boot and the precise posture adjustment of Helis comparable to a supercomputer.
The girl in the silver cloak landed steadily, and just as she was about to continue to make up for the attack, suddenly, another TF directly killed at a super high speed, approaching Ling Yu and crashing into her at a speed that Helis couldn't even react!
Helis couldn't dodge the impact of the other party at all, the only thing she could do was to lift the hem of the cloak while jumping on tiptoe, and the fusion battery behind her instantly energized the fabric to harden the fabric, directly meeting the impact from the opposite side!
The girl was knocked straight out, and she used a somersault to unload the force of the impact, and then landed on the grass, her power boots plowing two deep ravines in the lawn.
The moment Helis raised her head, the light of Vivian's golden telekinetic explosion lit up the night sky in an instant, and the girl directly pressed a TF to the ground with telekinesis with her left hand, and then smashed it into the opponent's head with a hammer nearly two meters long in her right hand.
The TF who was pressed to the ground violently broke free, but was still hit by Vivian's hammer in both legs, but like Helis, Vivian didn't have time to adjust her posture to replenish the knife, and was stabbed directly in the chest by another TF's bayone.
Although the thick telekinesis shield allowed the bayonet sword to not hurt Vivien, the huge impact force still forced Vivien to prop up her body with telekinesis, and a somersault landed beside Helis.
You okay?
Helis held out her hand and put it on Vivien's shoulder, and the little blonde girl choked on a mouthful of blood as soon as she opened her mouth.
", the boat capsized in the gutter."
Vivien disdainfully wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, "You're seeing it as a joke." ”
Helis ignored Vivien's lift, she frowned, and a drone flew behind Vivien's back, blue scanning light streaked across the girl's body.
Today's electromagnetic sniper rifle is not the same as that of two years ago, although it is still huge and bloated to the point of almost chicken ribs, but as an ultra-long-range anti-TF tool, the designers have invariably focused all their energy on how to increase the power, Helis does not know the specific model used by the sniper, but even if the power is relatively small, the lethality is more than three times that of the one used by Lu Xilan, the sniper of the 133 squad!
You must know that Vivian usually has a very thick telekinesis shield on her body, even if the girl is too young to control her mental power very accurately, but as a perception TF, when danger comes, she will inevitably subconsciously strengthen the level of the shield!
But even so, Vivien was sent straight away.
A broken rib pierced her lung, and Helis got the examination report, but she was a little relieved - this genius girl really lived up to her reputation, and such a shot, even if she ate it, the situation would not be much better than hers.
"Hey, what's the fuss, Auntie, you see that's ......"
Helis turned off the drone's scan results and looked at Vivian's perspective, and his heart sank.
She clearly saw that TF, who had just been almost split in half by her own knife fan, closed half of her body with the help of her teammates, and then glued and restored it at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the other side, TF, who was smashed by Vivien's legs with a hammer, simply stood up again.
Doping "Death Knell" ...... ACA really hasn't changed at all.
Helis stood up and patted Vivien on the back comfortingly, signaling that she had seen this thing and that there was nothing to fear.
"It's a big deal to kill a few more times, if it's a human being, it will die."
Vivien spun the hammer with one hand and slung it on her shoulder, "Looks like it's going to take some time, though." ”
It's okay, Ling Yu is already on his way.
Helis nodded, her face expressionless, she had already received a response from Ling Yu, and Ling Yu and Arya were rushing to the real room.
But I'm afraid...... It's not going to be that simple. (To be continued......)
