-- The Alliance Times

"Kronos' tentacles are really everywhere."

Payne gently applied the brakes, parked the jeep at an empty intersection, and waited three seconds before lightly pressing the gas pedal and getting back on the road.

And that's only because the intersection has a "stop" sign riddled with bullet holes.

In a place like Tehran, obeying traffic rules is an international joke, but from this detail it is clear that respect for the rules is engraved in the deepest part of the soul of this old knight.

"There are some things that are always inconvenient for people on the government side to come forward and do it." Arya sat in the assistant's seat and raised her hand to comb the bangs on her forehead, "The demand decides to save zài." ”

"I've heard a little about you." Payne nodded, not refuting Arya's words, "I know that Kronos Corporation runs the Alliance's largest war orphan relief program. ”

"Hmm." Arya nodded, this is an open fact that is not even a secret at all, "My parents were both Confederate soldiers and died in the war. ”

"Is there something wrong with the Alliance's official bailout?" Payne frowned slightly, "It stands to reason that military orphans like you should have proper arrangements." ”

"I was born in the Czech Republic, and my parents were not strictly speaking, Confederate soldiers. 'Military Auxiliary Volunteers', you've probably heard of it, although many times they face the same situation as professional soldiers. ”

Arya sighed, and Payne nodded lightly in understanding, strictly speaking, Arya's parents were guerrillas or local troops. Accept the leadership of the League, and even have the League provide supplies and arms, but legally speaking, they belong to local volunteers or guerrillas, and are not League soldiers.

As a result, the military orphans of the League were placed by the military, while the orphans of these "war volunteers" were raised by local governments. The small countries that were accepted solely because they could be used as Germany's own strategic depth were not well established in government institutions, let alone raising war orphans.

"What kind of life do the war orphans raised by Kronos usually have, become mercenaries?" Payne held the steering wheel with one hand, walked through an unknown number of years of ruins, and continued to ask questions.

"At the age of 18, I had a choice, and in fact, most war orphans did not join the army. Kronos has a large number of production and sales channels. From strategic missile design to infant formula, we need talent from many different industries. In fact, only about 17 per cent of the Kronos employees were engaged in direct combat or combat support work, and only two of the seven orphans I was adopted with me at the time joined the war-related department, the rest were civilian jobs, and one later left the company to become a painter. ”

Arya smiled softly. As if feeling very happy, Payne nodded slightly, the smile he had seen in his youth, from the faces of the young people of the three Nordic countries who had been hoped.

"But if there's the potential to become a TF, that's another story." Arya turned her head to look at Payne, who was seriously driving through the empty ruins. "It's the same all over the world, people and governments can't compete with each other, there is always a way for you to accept transformation."

"Hmm." Payne nodded heavily, the cavalry also has a junior military academy, which is nothing unusual, on the contrary, let a person be 16 or 18 years old and then undergo transformation, that is out-and-out murder: TF transformation is the smaller the better, theoretically the average success rate of transformation at the embryonic stage is 85%, but the technical means of the alliance are not yet reached, at present, what humans can achieve is 3-5 years old for transformation, the success rate is about 70%, and the success rate of 12-year-old is still 67%, But the success rate drops abruptly to only 17% after the age of 14 and only 3% after the age of 18.

"But I heard that you've been working in communications before?" Payne seemed to suddenly think of something, "The alliance already has so many TFs that it can be wasted so casually?" ”

"Actually, I have to say that I am TF...... Maybe it will embarrass me. Arya smiled bitterly, reached out and pressed it a few times on the console, and checked the map on the LCD monitor, which was accurate, "I haven't found anyone with worse combat effectiveness than me for the time being, I have to waste a lot of effort to deal with a heavy power armored soldier, I really envy your ability to cut it in two." ”

"Killing technology has nothing to boast about." Payne shook his head, not recognizing the girl from his tone, but more of a fact, "So you've been working in the communications department?" So why do you want to join this high-stakes squad? ”

"Although I am not very combative, I have also been on the battlefield, and I served in the 'Gabriel' wing from the age of 16 to 21." Arya flicked her finger, "Don't be a vase that only hides inside the screen." ”

"Gabriel' United?" A slight smile suddenly appeared on Payne's poker face, "What a coincidence, I know you co-captains, and you have worked together, you are an organization specializing in assault, sabotage, and rescue of illegal TF testing agencies." ”

"That's right." Arya narrowed her eyes and smiled, as if she was enjoying her experience in the "Gabriel" Wing, "We will deal with all the illegal TF real things in the Alliance jurisdiction, and the 'Gabriel' Wing is also the only commando team in the Kronos Company that has a long-term cooperation with the Alliance. ”

"Judging by the tone of voice, you enjoyed the experience, so why did you come here again?" Payne's question seemed a bit much, but the girl didn't show any disgust, sighed, and gave an answer.

"The soldiers still have to obey orders, and Kronos wants to send one who will not drag down the whole team. Without making Ling Yu feel threatened, TF came to be the liaison, I think I should be the most suitable. Arya still had a smile on her face, but not a lot of emotional excitement, "Besides, it's exciting to be able to work with legendary heroes." ”

Payne didn't expose Arya's unskilled acting skills, and since Ling Yu and Kronos were willing to believe this girl, he didn't need to question it—rather, it's better. Everyone in this squad has their own purpose for joining.

Myself is no exception.

"We're almost there."

After a few dozen seconds of silence, Payne spoke, and Arya checked the map and nodded.

Continuing south of the South Zone, there is a camp set up by the largest mercenary group in the region, because it is not only treasure hunters who want to enter the radiation zone, and occasionally there are some scientific research institutions, and the Alliance or the ACA military cannot organize a large number of people to protect them, so they simply leave it to these land snakes.

There are two such mercenary groups. The south-east and south-west of Tehran are also naturally under the jurisdiction of Kronos and GK Security, the ACA's largest civilian arms agency, respectively. The two large mercenary groups were very friendly on the surface, but secretly they were not less disgusting to each other.

While it is true that the mercenary group's work includes escorting people into the radiation zone, its activities are limited to Iranian territory, and only the most daring guides can travel to Baghdad, Iraq, so the mercenary group is virtually ignorant of the situation in Baghdad.

Arya handed the pass to the mercenary guarding the door, and the mercenary with an oxygen mask stepped onto the air bike and motioned for Payne and Arya to follow her. Took the two directly to the next garage.

"Unexpected Shun lì."

When I got the car keys, I looked at the all-terrain off-road vehicle in front of me that had been modified with three defenses and a large number of offensive and destruction equipment in the trunk of the car. Payne sighed.

"Civil institutions don't need as much paperwork, and overstepping the command can maximize efficiency." Arya was obviously in a good mood as well, and turned another spare key in her hand, "I don't know what's going on with the captain." ”

"It shouldn't be a problem." Payne nodded, then pulled the door open and got into the car.

"So to speak. In fact, I've been investigating the location and security of the 'Black Gold' room for a long time, and in fact, I've entered the periphery of the Black Gold Room several times, but with my strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out if I go in. So I have been waiting for this opportunity for more than a year, and my employer is a little impatient, so I desperately want to cooperate with you. ”

Ling Yu still didn't know the name of the sports girl, but this did not prevent the next two from borrowing Muhammad's territory to complete further discussions.

"Therefore, in the entire Middle East, only I can bring you into the base in the fastest way."

The athletic girl raised her hand to open the holographic map, and then walked around the map table in a half circle, "How?" ”

Ling Yu didn't answer immediately, he carefully thought about every word of the athletic girl, and looked at the electronic board in his hand from time to time, so far, almost all the details were consistent with the information found by himself, Kronos, and Helis.

Although Ling Yu still couldn't trust this athletic girl, it seemed that cooperation would be more advantageous.

"Yes." After a moment of silence, Ling Yu finally gave an answer, the athletic girl looked relieved, hugged her head and sighed deeply, and then raised two fingers and made a triumphant gesture to Vivian, who was staring at her, Vivian pouted, her stomach was hot and not good.

"So, route A or route B, which do you choose?"

The athletic girl raised her hand and swiped on the map table, route A was infiltrated from a flaw in the defense circle of a facility, and route B was to directly blast open the gate and attack it.

"Two." Ling Yu gave a succinct answer, and then stretched out his finger, "We have to act separately." ”

Ling Yu put down the electronic board and stretched out his hand to draw two arrows on the map, "You and I are in a group, we will infiltrate from the gap together, and the rest of my team will attack directly from the main entrance." ”

"My dear! Aren't you with me?! ”

Vivien finally had a seizure, reaching out and patting the map table, her tone almost crying.

"Listen to me." Ling Yu was not angry, but just patted Vivian's shoulder lightly, suppressed the girl's anger, and looked up at the athletic girl, "Is there a problem?" ”

"I know you don't trust me." The athletic girl spread her hands helplessly and shook her head, "Whatever you want, I will naturally listen to you when I join your team." ”

Ling Yu's arrangement is obviously to beware of this girl, he is alone and in a group of sports girls, even if he is brought into a trap, he is sure that he will be able to escape, while the others are in the other group, attacking directly from the main gate, it is impossible for ACA to set up an ambush, if the girl is trustworthy, then it is also a good feint, if not trustworthy, Ling Yu can also kill her and then escape.

Basically, under his own perception of danger, there is no ambush that can surprise him, this is his hole card.

"Now, then, sue me by your name."

Finally, after being silent again for a short while, Ling Yu finally opened his mouth to ask.

"Xia Fengyan, it's not the beacon of the beacon fire, it's the maple of maple sugar," the athletic girl walked around the table and stretched out her hand to Ling Yu, "Chemistry TF, the ability is flame compression explosion." ”

Xia Fengyan stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the location of the storage disk on the map table, a small explosion came, and the entire storage disk was blown into pitch-black and twisted squares, and the destruction of the data was completed by the way.

"Ling Yu."

Ling Yu just shook Xia Fengyan's hand lightly and didn't say much. (To be continued......)
