Chapter 21: The Eve of Liberation

“…… Journalists have received confirmation from the official spokesperson of the ACA African region that any claim that 'Spain may be abandoned by the ACA' is a shameless rumour, and that people can report it to the local Eye of Solidarity if they find anti-evolutionists spreading such rumors...... The spokesman reiterated that the ACA's counterattack in the Spanish theater of operations had been a great success and that there was no possibility of giving up......"

-- Evolution Daily

"The latest news, the counterattack of the ACA with heavy forces against Zaragoza has been defeated by the Alliance, the Alliance has established a foothold in Zaragoza, and the defensive network in other directions is also collapsing, and it is expected that the vanguard of the Alliance will reach Guadalajara within a maximum of 72 hours, where the ACA is organizing a defensive line."

"It's just a tactical move, Madrid can't defend, we have to speed up." Ling Yu shook his hand and closed the lighter and took a deep breath of his cigarette.

***

The time points to zero on October 15, 2180, and the whole of Madrid is already collapsing.

Ling Yu and the others were now in a looted convenience store, and not far away was an abandoned checkpoint.

The news of the defeat, even the strictly controlled ACA can not be blocked, the continuous retreat from the periphery of the city is the best source of information, when the alliance sneak attack to take Zaragoza, a little far-sighted people have already begun to prepare to run, a little earlier, when the ACA has been defending the Pyrenees for 20 years is broken, there are already people preparing for the back road.

Although the Madrid military has issued a curfew, it has no effect in the case of military discouragement, the second-line troops and residents around the city have fled almost together, and the city center is still high-pressure, but it is just a show. The ACA is not going to shout about living and dying with the city like some people and then turn around and flee, and the order for the orderly withdrawal of the garrison is only a matter of ten hours.

Madrid is not an easy city to defend and difficult to attack, as for street fighting, neither form nor morale is allowed, in fact, the ACA has not valued the gains and losses of one city and one place since the founding of the country. Italy is like that because once the alliance crosses the Alps, it is an unsafe Apennine Peninsula, and a large number of industrial facilities of the ACA are concentrated in Italy, and it is normal for cities to change hands repeatedly on India, Mexico and other fronts.

In the same way, the reason why the ACA has been holding the Pyrenees in Spain at any cost is to keep Gibraltar in their hands, but now that the Pyrenees defense line is collapsing, there are only two things for the ACA to consider. Delay the alliance as much as possible and preserve the vital forces as much as possible.

Ling Yu, who saw through this, understood that whether it was counterattack or defense, ACA's combat principles were these two cores, and he would not defend for a city like Madrid.

The sound of a violent explosion came, everyone was stunned, Vivian subconsciously grabbed Ling Yu's arm, and Ling Yu could even feel the mental power that erupted from her body.

"It's okay, the voice is coming from the south. It was the ACA that was blowing up factories and infrastructure, destroying supplies and so on. Ling Yu reached out and grabbed Vivien's palm. Feeling beads of sweat on the girl's palms, "A city full of hungry refugees can catch up with more than a dozen divisions. ”

"This is not the Amritza Domain, as far as I know, the commander of the 77th High Mobility Armored Division at the forefront is the 'Patton Reincarnation' Andrew. Barton, I bet he'll go straight around Madrid and continue the attack. ”

Surprisingly, it was Payne who gave this evaluation.

"It doesn't matter to us either." Ling Yu reached out and gently stroked the golden hair of the girl beside him. She quieted down, then turned to Arya, "But that also means we're running out of time. ”

"Forgive me for my presumption, Captain. Although Madrid's resident surveillance is basically paralyzed right now, and we can easily sneak into the city, we still don't know what we're looking for. ”

Arya finally summed it up, and then opened the map and showed it in front of Ling Yu.

"Let's go directly to the theater command." Ling Yu was silent for a second, then pointed a little on the holographic map, "The ACA may evacuate the entire army at any time, if I remember correctly, the content of the Eye of Unity's monitoring of the whole city will be backed up in the computer room of the Theater Command, this is the practice of the ACA, so we can at least find some clues." ”

"But...... We don't have a plan......" Arya was stunned for a moment, her fingers darling on the holographic keyboard, and Ling Yu directly shook her hand and interrupted her.

"Naturally, there is a plan when you move, Arya, I'm in a group with you, Payne and Vivien are in a group, I'll go in alone, Arya will provide intelligence support at the far end, Vivian, you and Payne will prepare some explosives near the base gate on the other side, if I'm trapped inside, you need to find a way to divert each other's attention."

"Okay, wrap it up on me!"

Vivian's expression, which was originally a little unhappy because of the grouping, instantly regained her confidence, and she patted her small chest, obviously this job was more able to give Ling Yu enough help at a critical moment than an intelligence support.

"But we don't know how to get in yet! That's the theater command after all, even if it's ......"

"There will be a way for us to go," Ling Yu directly raised his hand to interrupt Arya's questioning, and gently tapped the lighter on the table with his right hand, "Listen, Arya, when the prism was not called a prism, we chased and killed a regional manager of GK Security because of a rocket, we rushed into the cloud burst bomb because of an enemy major general, we only got to Paris because of a piece of information, this is our style, there are not so many plansB, I don't care how you work in Kronos, here I have the final say." ”

"Understood!" Arya raised her hand, gave a straight military salute, and began to close and pack her tactical suitcase.

"Payne, look at this little girl, don't let her be impulsive." Ling Yu patted Vivien's shoulder, looked at Payne, and then glanced down at Vivien, "Be obedient, this is an infiltration operation." Don't be unhelpful. ”

"Honey, you have to trust people!"

Vivian directly hugged Ling Yu's thigh and rubbed it twice, Ling Yu shook her head helplessly, and then gently peeled off Vivian's arm, looking at Arya, who had already carried the tactical suitcase on her back.

"Let's go."

"There are no vehicles coming in or out, and it looks like there hasn't been an evacuation order yet."

The wind at one o'clock in the morning was already a little cold, and Ling Yu closed his right eye. With his mechanical left eye, he carefully observed the absent-minded guard at the gate, and nodded to Arya next to him to indicate that he understood.

"Although the people are already panicking, the defense system is still leaky, and it is very difficult to penetrate directly, otherwise let Vivian and them act in advance. Make some noise? ”

"Nope." Ling Yu closed his left eye, played the image he had just captured in his brain, and shook his head, "The situation here is even more fragile than we imagined. ”

A burst of gunfire pierced the night sky, as if to confirm Ling Yu's words. More than a dozen guards at the door raised their guns in unison and looked in the direction of the gunshot, and then looked at the officer in the middle, who picked up the electronic board in his hand and flipped it and shook his head.

"They're like a bunch of kids waiting for the teacher's order to get out of school, and they're all the ones who guard the door, let alone the boss." A slight sound of an electric motor came from above, and Ling Yu stretched out his hand, letting the half-palm-sized drone with the Helis logo on it fall into his hand. "Fortunately, the guard company directly under the general is still there."

"So what do we do? Wait? ”

Arya had a completely helpless expression, and it was her advantage and disadvantage to follow the script. "Can't ambush the convoy?"

"It's too late, the General's Guard is already warming up the tank engine, and it will leave in twenty minutes at the earliest." Ling Yu shook his head, "What we want is the number of jù libraries instead of the general himself, there is no point in catching or killing him, I need to access the number of jù libraries." ”

"Once the general is evacuated. will destroy the number of jùku," Arya gritted her teeth and did not continue to speak.

"Give me your gun," Ling Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out the other party's pistol directly from Arya's armpit holster. Then he pulled out two magazines with his backhand, "You stay here." ”

Arya was stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood what Ling Yu meant—a military jeep was speeding in the direction of the headquarters.

"Then Captain!"

Arya reached out and took out something from the backpack behind her, and quickly threw it to Ling Yu, who had rushed out for several meters, Ling Yu kept at her feet, and caught it with her backhand, which was this custom-made 2025-style special muffler.

"Thank you."

Ling Yu continued to run and roll along the roof, crossing the street and landing in an alley, he grabbed a plank from the ground with his backhand, and then ran down the alley.

The left eye of the machine flickered, and the infrared perspective mode was turned on, Ling Yu locked on to the approaching car at the far end with his gaze, and then threw the wooden plank on the ground in front of him, and the whole person lay down with a sliding shovel.

The plank was cleverly given high speed, carrying Ling Yu rubbing against the ground and rushing directly into the street, Ling Yu's idea did seem a little crazy - the moment a car traveling at least seventy kilometers per hour drove through the alley, it slid out of the alley, and then hung directly under the high chassis of the off-road vehicle.

Ahead or behind will be detected, but also be careful that the other party runs directly over your body, and you must control your climbing strength to avoid directly overturning the car.

This kind of sliding sneak in high-speed movement, even if Ling Yu strengthens his perception to the maximum, it can't be perfect, and just when Ling Yu is about to gamble, his left eye clearly gives the opponent's speed, his current sliding speed, and the expected collision point and other factors.

Even Ling Yu himself didn't notice that at this moment, his left eye was like a string of green numbers that had often come out of Jiesi's expression, and a string of green numbers slipped down directly, giving Ling Yu an extremely detailed hint in an instant with the efficiency of a human supercomputer.

Ling Yu's right hand lightly touched the uneven concrete floor, slowing down his speed slightly, and then continued to maintain his perceptual concentration, with the help of the hollow mechanical eye, the originally difficult action became as easy as pressing the quick reaction button in a video game.

Following the prompt, Ling Yu got directly into the bottom of the car, Ling Yu's hands and feet climbed onto the chassis of the car at the same time at the moment of intersection, and pulled the suspension system down neatly, giving the people in the car the feeling that they were stuck in a big pit on the ground and jumped heavily.

In normal times, Ling Yu's big action could easily make the other party feel that something might be hanging on the chassis, but what Ling Yu is betting on now is that the people in the car are eager to rush to the base, and they don't have time to think about these problems.

Ling Yu's left eye turned again, and the infrared imaging penetrated the chassis of the vehicle to reveal the two people in the cab, he climbed the chassis with his left hand, took out a bug from behind the waist bag with his right hand, and threw the chassis out of the car door with his backhand.

The two soldiers were here to convey the evacuation order.

It was really a desperate shot, Ling Yu thought like this, and felt the speed of the car slow down.

It's about to enter the gate. (To be continued......)
