Chapter 224: Premonition of Danger
"Boom...... Boom!" When the dull vibration reached Yuan Hao's side, it had already turned into a buzzing tremor. Yuan Hao, who was sitting on the chair, frowned slightly as he looked at the trembling water cup and a small notebook that looked a little delicate in front of him.
"Looks like there's a lot of movement on Zion's side. Yuan Hao whispered.
"Red Queen ......" Yuan Hao groaned for a moment, squinting his eyes slightly: "How is the situation now?"
"Zion has weathered the first wave of the mechanical octopus, and they have nearly wiped out the first wave of enemies...... But the overall picture is not very good. They are all recruits and they don't let go as soon as the trigger is pressed...... The consumption of ammunition is somewhat large. The Red Queen calmly recounted her analysis of the situation in Zion.
As an artificial intelligence, the Red Queen's intelligence is not as good as that of the Creator, nor is it as intelligent as the vivid procedural beings in the matrix, but she can also command her small robots to install corresponding detection equipment in some important places of Zion without Zion noticing. The things that the red queen said were the results of her analysis of the images sent back by the detection equipment.
"So...... Let's go now! Zion's current situation is somewhat similar to that of an egg, but beneath the seemingly sturdy exterior is a juicy interior. As long as Zion's outermost defenses are breached, the humans of the interior will be slaughtered. While the insistence of some people in Zion is a bit inexplicable to me, it's impossible for me as a human to watch them slaughtered by another race. Yuan Hao opened his mouth smoothly.
He was not excited, not angry, not sad, he just told a simple truth in a light tone.
Zion had reached such a dangerous situation, but Yuan Hao was still so calm.
"Okay! Let's go...... In addition, I will inform the Zion side of our news. It's all about this time, and I don't think they're going to turn us down. The red queen said, turned around and left in front of Yuan Hao.
Watching the red queen leave, Yuan Hao smiled and walked out of the room immediately. Waving his hand to greet Sarah Mars, Huang Yun, Pingyuan and others, who had already been ready, to get on their respective MSs, and quickly rushed towards Zion.
Yuan Hao: They were already lurking very close to Zion. It was a makeshift staging ground that he had the Red Queen carve out near the trade route, no more than sixty kilometers from Zion. The space is not very large, but it is completely sufficient for 150 MSs to be erected.
As with the regular trade routes, the entire staging space has been reinforced with special cement.
Such a solid ground is fully capable of withstanding the actions of the MS.
However, in 3.5 seconds, the speed of all MSs, including Yuan Hao's own body, increased to 180 km/h. With the distance between the staging area and Zion, it would take them about twenty minutes to reach the battlefield.
Twenty minutes seemed like a lot of time for the Zion Defense Forces to resist the swarming enemy. Whether they will arrive before the final unspeakable danger arrives is anyone's guess.
"You must catch up!" Yuan Hao muttered to himself in his heart, with an unspeakable anxiety in his heart, but the more anxious he was, the more calm he maintained the corresponding speed.
At this time, the Red Queen had already made contact with Zion. As Yuan Hao was coming for reinforcements, and they would soon arrive in twenty minutes, Zion's control center welcomed it.
In fact, they had also expressed to Yuan Hao that they needed reinforcements on their side, but they thought that the arrival of reinforcements would be at least two days later, but they didn't want Yuan Hao to come so quickly.
"Did they expect this to be today?" The people in the control center were a little uncomfortable, but the critical situation in front of them still made them feel unpleasant.
For them, the most important thing is to resist the invasion of the mechanical octopus and save Zion from fire and water.
In short, the first thing they need now is to pass the level, to survive. Survival is all that matters. As for the rest, we'll talk about that later.
So......
Yuan Hao: They came to the tarmac very smoothly.
The cannon roared like thunder and roared. Zion's initial defenses have been breached, and some mechanical octopuses have already made their way to the city, but on the tarmac, Zion's soldiers have not given up resistance.
In the current situation, human losses are inevitable, but if these soldiers take out one more mechanical octopus here, there will be fewer people who will run into the city to cause trouble.
This will allow more people to survive.
Although somewhat in vain, the mechs and MS are still spitting ammunition.
The battlefield was full of sparks and smoke, and the huge control tower in the center of the apron was now overturning to the ground, and the long tower crane had almost turned into a twist. Two of the four steel passages connecting the control tower were broken. Except for one of the three huge drill bits that fell to the ground and struggled, the other two continued to descend under the cacophony of noise.
The criss-crossing pipes are already a mess, scattered mechanical octopus wreckage is everywhere, and there are more than two hundred APU mechs and more than a hundred Jim Guardians on Zion's side, and less than a dozen of them are still fighting with each other.
Hundreds of daredevils and infantry regiments had already been killed and wounded, deafening explosions were heard one after another, and screams and roars were constantly coming from the passages leading to different locations in Zion, indicating that the battle was going deeper into all corners of Zion.
A huge school of mechanical octopuses loomed over Zion like a dark cloud. The torrent of death, which is more than ten meters in diameter, is swallowing up the remaining vitality and resistance one by one. Black smoke billowed and obscured the wide dome, and the fire was raging, turning the city of Zion to ashes bit by bit. Zion, shrouded in endless darkness, coldness, and carnage, is hell.
Human resistance is minimal, and only the drill bit breaks through the bottleneck of the temple, and then the final slaughter is next.
"You sons of bitch, die!" a hoarse roar accompanied a series of cannon sounds, but unfortunately, only two cannon shots were fired before the sound of empty aircraft remained, and the magazine was empty.
"Reload!!" immediately exclaimed the driver.
However, the dozens of mechanical octopuses that were maneuvering in a roundabout way across from him seized the opportunity to take advantage of the gap and pounced on the mecha. The fastest one of the tentacles spread out, wrapping around the mech's legs like an octopus, and the tall mecha fell to the ground with the force of pushing the golden mountain and the jade pillar. The rest of the mechanical octopuses swarmed up and headed straight for the exposed driver.
Under the dark red firelight, the driver's face was instantly filled with despair and fear. But his tired eyes flashed with the last touch of tenderness, and he muttered, "Niya, I will always love you!"
The desperate pilot had no means of attack, so he could only control the mecha to wave his weapon-holding arms and smash it into the head of the mechanical octopus.
This was his last resistance.
After this, what will happen, he also knows in his heart.
"It's going to be over!" he thought.
Several beams of fiery particles and a series of tongues of fire swept past his face, striking the clawed animatronic monsters with pinpoint.
"Boom!" more than a dozen mechanical octopuses were suddenly blown to pieces. They fell to the earth, blazing fire around the driver.
The driver looked behind him in amazement, only to see a number of tall bodies appearing at one end of a passage.
That's the direction of the trade lane, and the driver knows it.
He understood better that with the appearance of these people, reinforcements were coming.
"Tsk...... It's really miserable!" Yuan Hao, who saw all this in the cockpit, pursed his lips with an ugly face, shook his head gently, and quickly ordered: "Sarah, you and Huang Yun led seven squadrons to the residential area of Zion to rescue people. The rest and I'm here to deal with these damn guys. ”
"Understand ......" Sarah and Huang Yun, who were driving the special Jim Guard, responded, and left with seventy MSs from seven squadrons without saying a word.
This is the first batch of reinforcements brought by Yuan Hao, almost two-thirds of the troops, which is not very large in terms of pure scale, but it is like a strong heart to see that the remnants of Zion's army will be defeated for a while.
"With these helpers, Zion will be able to hold on. The soldiers who persevered, thought.
"Don't be stunned, follow my attack...... Remember, mechs are mobile weapons, don't stand stupidly like a stake, run! Run to maximize our strengths. Yuan Hao ordered loudly.
"Ah...... Is that so?" the soldiers were stunned.
This kind of battle doesn't seem to be the same as what their instructors have always taught. They hesitated.
"Damn...... Have these people been taught to be stupid?" Seeing their stunned appearance, Yuan Hao frowned, and there was a burst of annoyance in his heart at first, but then this annoyance turned into helplessness.
Mobile warfare, is this what they need?
The topography of Zion dictates that their combat range is such a small space. Fighting in such a square inch, setting up a military formation, and building a firepower network seems to be more important than mobile combat. They're defending, and they can't let those people break in.
In this case, nature can only resist desperately inch by inch of mountains and rivers and inch by inch of blood. Not letting go of any of the mechanical octopuses that enter Zion is them, and they must choose.
"Alas, there is no way to ......" Yuan Hao understood their thoughts, but he also had a bit of a headache about the situation in front of him.
It's just that he also understands that these people really can't maneuver combat. Since this is the case, Yuan Hao can only reluctantly order: "The Zion Defense Army will continue the original resistance, and the others will conduct mobile battles with me!"
"Understood!" Yuan Hao's ears rang with the echo of his pilots.
Not everyone's, of course, but the three squadron leaders under him.
In general, the formation of Yuan Hao's MS troops still follows the set of the universe century, three people are a team, three teams are a squadron, and the squadron leader is independent of the team, but he also serves as the team leader - a squadron has ten MSs.
Listening to everyone's response, Yuan Hao's face flashed with a faint smile.
Morale is good, so ...... Let's go to war! Facing the mechanical octopuses that continued to pour in from the breach, Yuan Hao felt the cold killing intent on their bodies, and immediately drove the Vanguard Gundam to lead the Jim Guards under his command to meet them.
Yuan Hao relied on his piloting skills and the excellence of his body, and rushed forward in the lead, putting on a posture of breaking alone with a gun and a sword, while the thirty Jim Guards behind him activated the propulsion bag on his back, sprayed into the air, and threw a barrage at the airspace where the enemy was located with a team as a group.
Because they were flying in the air just near the apron dome, the mechanical octopuses that gushed out of the passage were endless. At the moment when Yongdao came out, these cold killing things were all killed in a dense formation.
They are dense like little black fish that want to live in groups, making people feel the fear from the dense. However, such a density is a pretty good target for Yuan Hao.
The MS use their familiar weapons to blast up, often with a single blow that can cause considerable results.
The bullets of the machine gun are not missing, the scattering of rockets can kill more than a number of enemies in one shot, not to mention the scorching beam particles, the scorching high-speed particle stream can often penetrate all the enemies in a line in a single blow - the heavy beam rifle that Yuan Hao equipped his own troops with after increasing the caliber, although the appearance is a little bloated, the weight is also a little heavy, but the power is incomparably strong.
After a flash of light, several mechanical octopuses fell after most of their bodies were dissolved, and a large number of debris piled up on the ground.
"These things...... What a fragile garbage!" Yuan Hao mercilessly complained about the weakness of the mechanical octopus.
Everything went very smoothly, at least after Yuan Hao and others joined, with the strength of MS and the excellence of the pilot himself, this wave of invading enemies was defeated to an end of total annihilation - this is also a matter of course.
After all, the mechanical octopus came in the direction of the big hole drilled out of the top of their heads. Although there is more than one hole, there is still a limit to the number of holes they can appear in a unit of time. Yuan Hao's pilots and Zion's guards only need to ensure that they have sufficient firepower to directly contain their attack.
In fact, Yuan Hao has done this perfectly now. The combination of an excellent body and an excellent pilot, the combat power that MS can exert is not as simple as 1+1=2.
However, the enemy's attack was contained, which could not be regarded as a good thing for Yuan Hao.
But Yuan Hao was not at ease. In fact, after appearing here, there was always a bad feeling in his heart. He didn't think it was a good place, and soon, maybe the next moment, the source of this danger would come.
"What the hell is going on?" Yuan Hao frowned: "Although this attack was launched by Smith, it can be regarded as putting the history of the Matrix back on track, but didn't Neo go to deal with him?"
Although there are more mechanical octopuses attacking Zion City, Zion also has me as reinforcements, and everything should be back in place...... I just have to keep going and wait until Neo beats Smith! ”
Yuan Hao couldn't figure out the reason.
