Chapter 109: The Decoy Convoy
"Listen, Bertlem, your lady is here! If you don't want her to have three long and two short, she will show up immediately and be caught! Bertreum listened to ...... "A Marauder mech, covered by several heavily armed marines on both sides, slowly appeared in Haoyi's line of sight. Behind them, there were still shadows of several combat vehicles, and the sound of a loudspeaker from the vehicle passed over the heads of these armored troops, and clearly reached the ears of Haoyi and Erin.
"Ma'am?" Haoyi turned his head and looked at Erin with puzzled eyes.
"It's my mom!" Erin seemed to realize something, and her little face turned pale.
"Your mother? Uh, how did she end up in the hands of these shitholes?" Haoyi was even more puzzled.
"I don't know!" Erin shook her head at first, and then suddenly said, "I remember, before I entered the city, Jeff once led people to surround Zhangtai!" Oh, and Zhangtai is a place where our family lives together. At the time, Jeff said he was ordered by my dad to protect my mother and family. That's when my mom must have fallen into Jeff's hands! ”
While the two were talking, the armored force all entered the sight of Hao Yi and the others, which made the two of them stunned. In front is a swaggering raider mech clearing the way, in the middle is a line of two siege tanks and an armored personnel carrier in front of the front, and behind is a head-shaking raider mech. On either side of these steel giants were a long line of Marines searching the wreckage of the ruins on both sides of the street.
To say that the scale of this armored force is not large, it is not enough to surprise Hao Yi, who has seen a big battle. And what really stunned Hao Yi and the two was the armored personnel carrier in the middle of the convoy. On the roof of the troop carrier, there was a cross-like object with the appearance of a middle-aged woman tied to it. The middle-aged woman had obviously been tortured, covered in bruises and blood, and her face was as hideous as a female madwoman. Her mouth was still tied with a strip of cloth, and she could only whine angrily into the neighborhood.
"Mom......" Erin, who was beside Hao Yi, finally saw the appearance of the woman on the armored car, and suddenly couldn't help but scream. And Hao Yi, who was beside her, saw that this was wrong, and hurriedly hugged Erin, who wanted to rush out, covered her delicate little mouth, and anxiously persuaded: "Miss Erin, calm down, you rush out like this, not only can't save your mother, but even you yourself have to get in!" ”
Forcibly held by Haoyi's strong and powerful arms, Erin struggled a few times and finally collapsed weakly, two clear tears irrepressibly flowed down from her bright eyes, staring at her mother Monica on the armored car in the distance, biting her lips, and muttering softly in her mouth: "Mom......" The unexpected death of her father has already caused this eldest lady to suffer a lot of blows, and she saw that her mother also fell into the hands of the wicked, and obviously suffered inhuman abuse, How this series of blows did not make Erin mentally unconscious.
Looking at Erin's sad and pitiful appearance, Hao Yi couldn't bear it in his heart, but he couldn't think of any useful words to comfort Erin for a while, so he could only silently pat Erin's fragrant shoulder.
The armoured convoy of "Buzz Click...... traveled along the cleared passage in the middle of the block, seemingly deliberately slowing down, allowing the megaphone to broadcast the words that tried to persuade Burtreme to surrender over and over again. The mecha chariots and the two teams of marines who were in charge of guarding the front and left left and right stared nervously at the tall buildings on both sides of the block, as if ready to deal with the sudden rush of enemy troops at any time. As long as a veteran who has fought a little bit of war, one look at this jiashi knows that this must be a decoy convoy aimed at luring out Bertreum and his men. However, it is clear that Jeff's field army did not know that Bertlem had actually been "martyred" due to his injuries.
"Well, Miss Irene, these dogs must be trying to lure you and your father into appearing. In my judgment, not far from this convoy, there are definitely many elite main forces of the field army hidden. As soon as you and your father show up, they will quickly surround you and capture or kill you. Looking back at the armored convoy that was slowly approaching, and looking at the cautious and terrifying appearance of Erin's mother, Hao Yi didn't feel good in his heart. However, as a veteran, Hao Yi instinctively realized that this was definitely a trap. Out of kindness, Hao Yi reminded Erin with a straight face and explained.
"Haoyi!" However, to Haoyi's surprise, Erin not only did not feel frightened because of this, but suddenly got up and walked in front of her, and suddenly fell straight to her knees, and Peara pleaded with tears on her tearful face: "I know you must have a way, I beg you, save my mother!" As long as you can save my mother, I am willing to do whatever you want! ”
"Grandma, what are you doing here? Get up! Hao Yi was taken aback by Erin's actions, and hurriedly stepped forward to try to pull up Erin, who was kneeling in front of him.
However, Erin didn't know where the strength came from, so she pushed away Haoyi's hand and wanted to help her up, knelt stubbornly motionless, and continued with tears in her eyes: "Now the only person I can ask for is you." I know that you must be a powerful person with superpowers, and maybe you are the only one who can help me rescue my mother. Please, Haoyi, as long as you can help me rescue my mother, even if you want me to be a cow and a horse, I am willing! ”
Looking at Erin's eager eyes, Hao Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh. To be honest, although I have known Erin for a short time, Haoyi knows that Erin is definitely a very strong girl. It takes a lot of courage to make her beg for herself like this. Faced with the bitter pleading of such a beauty, Hao Yi really couldn't find any reason to refuse her.
"Well, I promise you, I will try to save your mother!" Hao Yi pondered for a moment, frowned and said to Erin in a deep voice: "But not now. Auntie, you can also see it, and now it is obviously a trap set by these dogs, waiting for us to send it to the door ourselves. All we can do now is find the right moment to try to save your mother! Don't worry, auntie, looking at the jiashi of these guys, you must still think that your father is still alive. Because of this, your mother will never worry about her life now! ”
"Really?" Erin raised her tearful face and asked Haoyi in amazement.
"Your mom is really going to be fine! I'm sure I'll help you get your mom out of here! Hao Yi didn't know what the eldest lady was asking was true, so he simply confirmed it seriously.
"Xiexie you, Haoyi!" Tears welled up in Erin's eyes.
"That's it! Don't cry, auntie, I must be the one who speaks! Seeing that Erin was about to wash her face with tears again, Hao Yi hurriedly comforted her, stepped forward to help Erin and said, "Hurry up, if you cry again, I'm afraid the dogs below will hear it!" ”
"Hmm!" This time, Erin obediently got up from the ground, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, showed a sweet smile to Haoyi, and asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Let's see what happens!" Hao Yi waved his hand at Erin, then walked to the window, and quietly looked at the armored convoy that was rumbling over. He already had an idea in his heart, and he would let Erin wait here for a while, and he would quietly follow the convoy, and after finding the location where Monica was being held, he would come back and think of a comprehensive way to rescue Monica.
"Buzz Click...... "With the humming sound of the chariot mecha marching, the convoy slowly passed in front of the building where Hao Yi and the two were hiding. Looking at her mother's miserable appearance, Erin's heart was about to break, and she bit her lip to prevent herself from making a sound. Haoyi saw Erin's painful expression out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
A moment later, the armored convoy drove past the building where Hao Yi and the others were hiding, and was about to disappear on the other side of the long street. At this juncture, a mutation protruded.
"Dangdang!" The sound of two crisp metal reeds being stimulated, and in the ruins on the left and right sides of the mecha that had opened the way earlier, two round frisbee-like objects suddenly popped out. After the two "frisbees" bounced high into the air about a meter high, they suddenly changed direction, like two huge magnets, and sucked into the two steel thighs on the left and right of the mecha at once.
"Bang dang!" Two more metal bumps were heard, and the Marines who were searching the streets near the sides of the mech widened their eyes in horror.
"Magnetic Jump Mine!" The next moment, a frightened roar accompanied by two loud bangs came, and two huge fireballs suddenly rose between the crotch of the mecha, throwing the two- or three-story tall creature into the air. At the same time, the blast wave of the explosion threw the Marines closest to the mecha violently, and each of them smashed between the ruins of the building, and fell to the ground on their stomachs.
Magnetic Jump Mine, an anti-armor mine developed by the Federal Military Research Department specifically for large bipedal walking creatures such as the Marauder Mecha. Similar to the anti-infantry jumping mine, although its power is not very large, once this type of mine is attached to the steel legs of the raider, the violent explosion at close range is enough to turn the raider mech into a pile of scrap metal.
"Knock knock, boom!" The half-marauder mech, which was still intact from mid-air, was like a madman, firing punisher grenades and laser cannon beams at the surrounding area.
"Enemy attack!" As the paralyzed Marauder mech went mad and fired at the friendly troops, a loud roar suddenly erupted from the armored personnel carrier in the middle. Immediately afterwards, the rest of the convoy vehicles and marines quickly changed formations as if they had received an emergency order.
The two siege tanks, one in front of the other, quickly changed direction, each lying in the middle of the street, and protected the armored personnel carrier in the middle with their heavy and sturdy bodies. The hatch in the top of the troop carrier quickly opened, revealing two figures in heavy marine armor, dragging Monica, who was tied to a wooden cross, back into the car in the blink of an eye. The rest of the Marines marching on foot, under the command of their respective squad leaders, quickly left the wide area in the middle of the street and disappeared between the ruins of the buildings on either side.
The Marauder mecha that had been broken off suddenly accelerated, strode to the front of the convoy, raised the howitzer on its left arm, and fired a shot at the paralyzed and crippled mecha in the head mercilessly.
"Boom!" Another ball of fire rose up, and the runaway raider finally stopped in the midst of the firelight.
"I'm X!" Hao Yi, who was hiding in the building and peeking, was dumbfounded. The speed and ability of this field army's armored detachment are in no way inferior to the elite front-line combat units in the major theaters of the Federation.
"Buzz!" The plasma artillery barrels of the two siege tanks were raised high and ready to fire. At the same time, the only remaining mecha was Zuihou, standing majestically next to the armored personnel carrier, a pair of red electronic holographic scanning eyes, vigilantly sweeping around.
Strangely, however, after the out-of-control, crippled raider was "executed", the entire neighborhood fell into dead silence......
