“…… As the age of TF transformation gets younger and younger, more and more TF have superhuman abilities since childhood, and they do not think that their abilities are a 'weapon', but have the same instinct as eating and drinking, which makes people worry, will TF transformation create a group of strong 'new humans'? How should society view TF? Especially after the end of the war......"

"There's no way around it," Ling Yu shook his head, glanced at Helis who was holding the fries, and then suddenly remembered something, he reached out and touched his jacket pocket, and then turned his head and asked Helis, "That, Helis, where is the photo in my jacket pocket?" ”

Ling Yu changed his clothes after bandaging.

Helis looked at Ling Yu, hesitated for a moment, and took out a photo from his pocket, the corner of which was already stained with Ling Yu's blood.

"Big sister, do you know this girl?"

"Oh, Sarah, I know," Reanna gave it back to Ling Yu after glancing at the picture, "Team Leader Ingram's daughter, a gifted child. ”

"Gifted children?" Ling Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Uh, don't you know?" Liana was stunned for a moment and glanced at Han Fei, "It's not a genius child like Han Fei, it's rare, genetic testing, and a 'particularly excellent' potential TF." ”

"Exceptional? No way? Han Fei, who knew this field best, was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Leyanna, and then looked at Ling Yu and the others on the table, and explained, "That is to say, genius children who are super suitable for transformation with a success rate of more than 85%. ”

"No wonder Team Leader Ingram wants to ask me not to let Sarah go to the military academy......" Ling Yu glanced at the smiling girl in the photo and frowned. If you go to a military school, you'll definitely accept TF transformation and go into battle. ”

"Captain Ingram's Tol?" Liana took a breath and muttered in a low voice, but she frowned, she straightened up and looked at Ling Yu on the other side of the table. "But, Ling Yu, do you think this is really good?"

"What do you mean?" Ling Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Rianna.

"War is bound to break out." Liana looked around for a moment, there were no gendarmes in the cafeteria, and then secretly took out a cigarette and lit it, "I know that with your ability and influence, it is easy to save a little girl." But you can't take her with you every day, can you? ”

"After this attack, the war between the ACA and the alliance will enter a period of large-scale operations, which means that there is no absolutely safe place on the earth, including Icarus, in this case, do you think that the probability of an old man with a little girl surviving is high, or the probability of a top TF surviving is high?"

"This ......" Ling Yu was stunned. I have to say that this question just hit the nail on the head of Ling Yu. In fact, he knew this at the time of a massive attack on Washington, and if he were asked now if he wanted to send Helis to a school or something, his answer would be no.

"Helis. Sister asks you a question. Seeing through Ling Yu's problem, Reanna turned her head and looked directly at Helis, "Do you think that the strength in your body is a burden?" ”

Never.

Herris munched on fries. A large plate of golden potatoes had already been eaten by her, and as if she felt that saying this was not enough to show her determination, Helis held up the electronic board and added a sentence in bold letters.

This is a blessing, and like any instrument, giving tools is always a righteous thing, and the strong will not be eaten by the tools, that's all.

"I can't say anything so literary," Reanna smiled lightly and looked at Ling Yu again, "But, undoubtedly, I think that if Sarah herself doesn't object, then she should undergo transformation and military training." ”

"As for the issue of protecting her, you can start with her tasks and take care of them when assigning tasks, but you have to understand, Ling Yu, this is an era when ordinary people are vying to accept mechanical transformation and buy weapons at home, don't turn her into a little girl who is helpless, think about the future, and think about preparing for troubled times."

Liana pressed the finished cigarette to the leg of the stool, looked at the cigarette butt, made sure it was completely extinguished, and threw it into the trash can next to her.

"Listen to her grandmother and her opinion."

Ling Yu thought about it for a moment, and then nodded slightly, it stands to reason that he and the Ingram family are not related, as long as they follow Captain Ingram's request to find Sarah and hand it over to her grandmother, but even Ling Yu himself didn't realize that he was thinking about something other than promises for Sarah.

"Anyway, let's get Washington back first," Logan appeared at the right time and made a round, "although I don't want to say it, but the situation in Washington is ...... I don't know if she'll survive, it's too early to think about that. ”

"When will the attack begin?"

Ling Yu nodded slightly, although what Logan said was not very good, but it somewhat relieved the awkward atmosphere, and the young man looked at Liana and spoke.

"An assault regiment of the 82nd Rapid Reaction Division has reached the east of Winchester and is deploying and can begin reconnaissance of the attack on the west bank of the Potomac River at about two o'clock in the afternoon."

"So fast!" Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, but only Ling Yu showed a surprised expression on the entire table, and the others were surprised by Ling Yu's reaction.

"The 82nd Rapid Reaction Division is one of the few 'ready to fight' divisions in the Alliance, and the idea of formation is to 'complete the intercontinental counterattack within 12 hours', that is, to complete the intercontinental deployment within 12 hours after receiving the order, and launch an attack on the target, the Alliance has only one unit in the rear of the entire North America, and the others are on the front line." Liana lit a cigarette again, and then gave Ling Yu a popular science, "The history of this unit dates back to World War II, and like the 101st Rapid Reaction Division, it is an elite unit that has been on the battlefield for a long time. ”

"The news from my side is that the 82nd Rapid Reaction Division has just been withdrawn from the Panamanian front and is resting, and the replenishment of personnel and materials is not fully in place, although the combat effectiveness has not decreased much, but the mobile deployment capability has been reduced. Therefore, only one regiment could be delivered for a short time, and other troops had to be deployed by road. Linya added with her coffee, many times people would forget that the flaxen-haired girl had once been a military attache in the Order, but it was clear that she had not yet lost her profession.

"But now that it can be put in place, it is obvious that the 82 rapid response division is very confident in its own combat effectiveness." Logan picked up a few fries and stuffed them into his mouth, "There are five ACA armored divisions on the front. ”

"The ACA Panzer Division has just captured Fort Meade. The movement is moving towards Washington, theoretically, the two sides are on the same starting line, but it is clear that the main target on the side of the 82nd Division should still be Arlington, and it will not cross the Potomac River lightly. Liana walked over to the coffee machine next to her, tore open a packet of coffee into the machine, and took a paper cup and placed it in the spout. Time is on the Alliance's side. ”

"Indeed......" Ling Yu nodded slightly, judging from the analysis of the battle situation, he looked at the fries that had already been half eaten by Helis, and frowned slightly.

No matter how you look at this plan, it is full of loopholes, will the ACA really pin everything on such a meaningless plan?

Although it was true from a strategic point of view, Ling Yu still couldn't convince himself like this.

"I'm still a little worried, big sister, you can always collect information about Pittsburgh. Tell me if there's anything going on," Ling Yu instructed Reanna.

"Okay." Liana nodded.

Ling Yu closed his eyes, he always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it.

Everyone unanimously chose silence, and for a while, there was only the ticking sound of the wall clock in the corner of the cafeteria.

"What's in this car?"

Just a few hours before Ling Yu returned to the base, Harrisburg, a small town north of Baltimore. The first rays of the dawn have not yet been fully ushered in.

The town has a long history, with European settlers said to have established settlements here before the founding of the United States, and the root cause is the Susquehan River, which runs through the city and is 747 kilometers long and originates in the Appalachian Mountains. From northwest to northeast, it is the largest river flowing into the Atlantic Ocean on the northeast coast of the United States and the sixteenth largest river in the United States.

However, at this time, Harrisburg had become an empty city, because of the fall of Baltimore in the south, although the military believed that the ACA would not go far and detour from this side to cross the Appalachian Mountains, but no one could guarantee that the commander of the ACA wanted to take it by surprise, so all the residents of the town had evacuated to the Great Lakes region, and at the same time, the local National Guard and some regular troops who came to support also established a defensive line here.

However, although the town has become empty, the road that runs through the town along the Susquehan River is still bustling with activity - a large number of refugees who have fled from Baltimore and northern towns are being inspected in an orderly manner under the command of a large number of National Guards, and they will not be allowed to enter the Great Lakes region to the north until they are not ACA infiltrators.

A second lieutenant of the Confederate National Guard took a few steps back and held up his flashlight to shine a flashlight on the truck compartment behind him, which was painted with a black crystal — "Obsidian," the trademark of a well-known computer accessories company.

"Some expensive computer accessories, we're at a computer company in Bethesda, north Washington," said the truck driver with an obsidian-branded hat with his hands on his hips and a sad face, "and when the air raid sirens went off, the boss and the board of directors took a helicopter and ran away, leaving us hard-pressed employees to carry the valuable goods to safety." ”

"You can ignore it, the league has regulations that commercial companies can't require employees to engage in actions that 'clearly put them in danger.'" The second lieutenant moved the light of the flashlight back to the documents and materials in front of him, waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him led the police dogs and began to inspect the vehicle.

"There's no way, it's too difficult to find such a high-paying and non-tiring job these days, and besides, I rescued so many computer originals, and those directors who only recognize money with their nostrils turned to the sky, should more or less give me a promotion and a salary increase." The truck driver pouted nonchalantly, "Prices are getting more expensive in Washington." ”

"Well, why are you here?"

The second lieutenant officer carefully examined the text in his hand, raised his hand, interrupted the other party's words, and then asked a question.

"Why? Flee. The truck driver was stunned for a moment and whispered.

The second lieutenant officer turned his head and squinted at the truck driver with a blank face, trying to find some undeserved affection in the other man's face.

"If you're running north of Washington, you should go to the nearest Hagerston, why make a big circle to Harrisburg in the north?"

"Oh, this one," said the truck driver, with a look on his face, then looked around, leaned in front of the officer, and whispered, "The boss called me halfway through, saying that they had reliable information that Hagerston was going to be a battleground, and asked me to drive the car here." ”

"There's still a call log here, I don't believe you can call back and ask." The truck driver pulled out his phone, swiped it a few times, and handed it to the ensign.

"Sir, no anomalies found!"

At this moment, the soldier inspecting on the other side led the lively black-backed wolfhound and shouted.

"Let's go, and get a chance to introduce me to your boss." The lieutenant stared at the truck driver for a few more seconds and smiled softly, of course it was just a joke, they knew that the Allies were going to build a defense at Hagerston and counterattack from Winchester.

There is nothing to doubt.

"No problem." The truck driver took the papers, smiled flatteringly, then climbed into the truck and started the engine.

And at the moment when the engine lit up the roof lights, Marshall, who was sitting in the assistant's seat. Colona lit a cigarette. (To be continued......)
