Chapter 474: Rescue and Fall
The engines on both sides of the wing spewed out a faint blue arc light, and the huge "killer whale" transport plane slowly rose into the sky. Under the envious gaze of the players, the transport plane switched to horizontal flight mode and sped away in the direction of the north. "Gan, when the master is rich, he will have a whole fight." The outlaw fanatic glanced enviously at the distant meteor and pushed the three-wheeled assembly away. The 1,000-strong squad under the 1st Corps took over Camp 330 to guard the surrendered prisoners of war.
As the main force of the Alliance's attack, they will soon follow the Honey Irrigation Kingdom Restoration Army and continue their march towards the hinterland of Oasis 3. On the other side, on Heights 330.
Wu Kai'an, a reporter for Zhiyuan Daily, was walking through the messy battlefield accompanied by an alliance resident named "Bai Zhi Sniper".
Although the battlefield has been simply cleaned, and the corpses and severed limbs and arms have been thrown into the trenches and buried, there is still a large amount of wreckage left on the battlefield that has not had time to be disposed of. For example, the blood-soaked sandbags, and the sand stuck to the plasma......
Due to the temperature and the scorching sun, the air here is filled with the smell of blood, and occasionally the arms and legs of dead people can be stepped on. Wu Kai'an swallowed.
He had followed the company's commandos into the mutant camp, and had seen a lot of strange and bloody scenes, but they all pale in comparison to here. This is the real battlefield..."This is ......," Shiro explained with a smile.
"Heights 330, where a regiment of 1,000 men and a 100-man air defense team were stationed here. The battle was fierce, and the guns rang out all night, and the 3,000 brothers of the Death Corps finally took the place before dawn. ”
Hearing a hint of heaviness from that relaxed speech, Wu Kaian nodded silently.
More than 3,000 people fought more than 1,000 people, and it took a whole night to take it, and these 3,000 people still seem to be the first-line corps of the alliance. It seems that this legion is even more difficult to deal with than expected......
"Speaking of which, didn't the Council support you with a batch of high-tech equipment? That ornithopter, as well as the "Seagull UAV, the "Cerberus" unmanned vehicle...... Why don't you use it?"
"The amount is too small, and it's too expensive," Bai gave the sniper a helpless expression, "The total amount of aid given to us by the Council is only two billion Cr. ”
"Only two billion?! Isn't two billion enough?" Wu Kai'an looked at the soldier in surprise. His monthly salary is only more than 10,000 yuan.
And that's counting the attendance allowance, as well as the money to reimburse various expenses.
"It's enough, it's not a one-person flower," Bai Yudai sniped shook his head, "I'll settle a battle with you, it costs about 100,000 yuan to build a kilometer of road, and a tactical missile is about the same price, which is equivalent to a missile going down a road and disappearing." Wu Kai'an was stunned.
"This ...... It doesn't sound like a lot. Bai Ji sniped continued
"Ammunition consumption is only one aspect, and the money spent on the war is not only to buy ammunition, not to mention improving the tractor production line, it is simply a bottomless pit, and what else is the food, drink, and energy consumption of the front-line soldiers...... These are direct overheads. Wu Kai'an swallowed. Is there any indirect?"
"That must be there!" Bai Qidai sniped and said, "The alliance has a total of more than 100,000 people, and one-tenth of the population has been mobilized to the front line, and it is difficult to find someone to replace the vacant positions in the rear in a short time, right?" If you can't produce something, you have to import it. Ay...... Our managers are still too face-saving to tell you that in fact, we are poor and can't afford to eat, and we have to take care of the food of these captives, and we have a headache. “
As he spoke, the little player believed it and shook his head. Wu Kai'an listened to the troublesome scalp, nodded and said. “…… Well, I'll reflect on you guys in an interview. "It's really a question worth exploring. But then again......
How could an ordinary soldier understand so much, he always had a feeling of being tricked.
"Uh-huh, thanks." Looking at the prompt of [Mission Completed] on the VM, a pleasant smile appeared on the face of the white sniper, and the "heavy" topic ended at the right time.
Thanks to Awakening, there are a few intelligence attributes. Memorizing these lines was exhausting for him. The first task is complete.
There is only one last task left for the manager.
On the way to the small black room where Soft was being held, Bai took a slight detour and took the reporter from the ideal city through a mountain pass.
Looking at the black and crowded heads under the mountain pass, Wu Kai'an's face showed a surprised expression, and he was about to ask about the identities of these people, and Bai Zhi, who acted as a "tour guide", continued. Those are all clones...... The Legion has produced them through cloning technology, and they will age at eight times the rate of normal people. Wu Kai'an looked at him and asked. "What are you going to do with them," Hakugi replied expertly.
"Generally, survivors in the settlement catch them and bury them directly, and they like to fight when they can't work, and they are a pure waste of food. But the administrators say they're just a bunch of poor people being taken advantage of...... So I'm probably going to keep them, if the conditions allow. Wu Kai'an nodded. "Can I take a picture?" Shiro nodded dryly. "Yes, shoot.
The drone flew over the col and took a few photos of the clones before returning to Wu's side. Wu Kai'an didn't say a word for the rest of the journey, but fell into a long thought.
Bai Zhi, who was next to him, didn't say anything more, because just now, his mission had been completed. Inside the pitch-black barracks.
Listening to the sound of footsteps coming from the doorway, and the light leaking through the crack in the door, Soft slowly raised his head. A strange man stood in the doorway.
The reason why it is strange is because he does not have the slightest feeling of a soldier in terms of clothing and temperament. A hint of confusion appeared in Soft's eyes, and he said with a frown. "What's the matter?"
"Hello, my name is Wu Kai'an, and I am a reporter from Zhiyuan Daily." Wu Kai'an expertly introduced himself and sat down on the chair opposite Soft with a smile. Soft glanced at the drone behind him. Zhiyuan News...... What is it. Wu Kaian said with a smile.
"It's the media of Ideal City, and it's been around for 200 years. In addition to paper newspapers, we operate our own client and even virtual space on the endpoint cloud, which is one of the windows for the residents of Ideal City to understand the world outside Ideal City..." “
It sounds similar to the Triumph newspaper.
Soft suddenly seemed to think of something, and then smiled coldly. "You're here to settle me," Wu Kai'an explained with a smile.
"How so? We are just one of the participants in the war and want to know what you, as an enemy, think of this war and your opponents. Soft leaned back in his chair and said coldly. "I don't have a big opinion."
As a professional reporter, Wu Kai'an, who traveled nearly 10,000 kilometers to come here, certainly won't give up because of this guy's words. Seeing a hint of unwillingness behind those eyes, he said in a seductive tone. "Aren't you a little unwilling?"
Perhaps because of the heart, this sentence worked even better than expected. Soft, leaning back in his chair, snorted and folded his arms over his chest.
"Unwilling...... Hehe, I'm really unwilling, I shouldn't believe Griffin's skunk-full nonsense. "So you think the reason for the failure was a mistake in command?" Wu Kai'an stared into his eyes and asked with a blazing gaze. Soft said nonchalantly. "On the one hand.
"On the other hand? Because of the weapons that the enterprise supplied to the Alliance?" Wu Kaian continued to ask questions with great interest, revealing his purpose unabashedly.
However, after hearing his words, Soft did not burst into a thunderous rage like McLene, but instead pulled a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth. "Those weapons, you say? Hehe, maybe it's a little useful...... But it wasn't a weapon that defeated me. This answer surprised Wu Kai'an. Stunned for a few seconds, he continued. "That'...... What do you think it is.
"What is it? It was the infantry who dared to abandon their baggage and march for twelve hours, cross the country through the mountains for one hundred and fifty kilometers, and storm the heights without fire support. It is a paratrooper who dares to jump down without air supremacy, without reinforcements, and even without knowing the deployment of ground forces...... If I knew that these guys were so difficult to deal with, I would definitely deploy them in a different way. Soft let out a low curse.
However, in that jealous eyes, there was unconsciously revealing a trace of admiration. Those guys are real ruthless people.
It's not just the ruthlessness in ability, almost everyone in the entire army, from soldiers to commanders, has developed their potential to the limit.
Their will to fight has reached the state of one-heartedness, and they will stop at nothing to achieve victory, both tactically and strategically, achieving miracles that are almost impossible for mankind. Soft made it clear that he wasn't losing to command, and he wasn't losing to the Awoken or Power Armor. Those things were really strong, but not so strong as to be invulnerable, like the Conqueror tanks they were so proud of.
Both he and Griffin made the most correct judgment based on the intelligence at the time, and also took into account the fact that the plan did not meet expectations. Even if he is asked to do it all over again, he may not be able to do better.
His real resentment against Griffin and the dead McLaren was the lies they told in the Triumph.
There are no military exploits or treasures here, and their opponents are not a group of natives who poke their necks at all, but a real fighting race, and they are bleeding for no reason for a war with no end in sight.
A lot of promising lads died, including Simmond, who he single-handed, and Jot, who shouldn't have brought them here in the first place! A hint of disappointment appeared in Wu Kai'an's eyes. He didn't hear the part he wanted to hear. But it doesn't matter.
Before he arrived, he had already taken enough impactful photographs and collected more story-worthy material.
Rather than the bravery, strength, and strength of their allies in war, the residents of Ideal City are more likely to understand their tragedy, sacrifice, and other parts worthy of sympathy, and to a lesser extent cultural phenomena that are born in ruins, novel enough, and harmless to humans and animals.
As for the image of the light of civilization, the big brother or the head of the family, it should be an honor that belongs to the Supreme Council.
After so many years of being a media person, he knows his customers better than anyone else. Most people's demand for information is not essentially information, but the satisfaction that information brings. As a good media person, he deserves to show his clients what they want to see.
Wu Kai'an silently made a decision in his heart to appropriately shorten the footage of Soft in the interview......
"Thank you for your cooperation...... Is there anything else you'd like to add?" Wu Kai'an, who lost interest in the prisoner of war, briefly concluded the interview in one sentence. Soft said with a cold smile.
"I didn't cooperate with you... By the way, if you have any news of ceasefire negotiations, can you let me know if it is convenient? Wu Kai'an recalled carefully and said.
"There's no news on that yet...... However, the Coalition's diplomats seem to have promised in other Ideal City media that the war would end by the end of the year. Before the end of the year, Soft was slightly stunned.
Although he didn't think so, he still nodded slowly to show understanding. That sounds like bragging......
The latest chapter of "This Game is Too Real" is the first release on the whole network: domain name
However, it is not ruled out that there is a possibility, and the alliance does not want to continue to fight. Either way, it's a good thing for him.
Soon he will be back at the estate on the banks of the Sorat River by the beginning of spring next year...... The northern part of the province of Luoxia, a wasteland north of the mountains.
A few bald crabs pounced on the corpse of the mutant poly dog and tore at it, suddenly hearing a noise along the ground, and fluttering their wings in alarm, and flew into the sky. Moments later, a heavy tracked vehicle, with a width of two lanes, emerged behind the misty wasteland. The swampy soil hanging from the tracks shows where it came from.
The man in the passenger seat kept staring at the tablet in his hand, he was wearing a yellow-gray camouflage coat, a short flat head, a raunchy chin hung all over the alley, and an index finger-length scar carved into the right cheek.
If it weren't for the words "D-class Explorer" written on the name tag on his chest, it is estimated that no one would have mistaken him for a member of the academy, and would be more inclined to mistake him for a mercenary active in this area.
But in fact, this is not a misunderstanding.
Although he is a member of the academy, he does not stay in the academy for a long time in a year.
Like other hapless D-Class Prospectors, he and his "Beacon" team are basically either exploring the ruins or on their way to them. His name is Zheng Hao, and he belongs to the containment planning team of the college's investigation department, and his position is an explorer as written on the name plate, and he belongs to the combatants. More than twenty of his team members are in this car, half of them are androids, and half of them are prosthetic people who are more than 50% prosthetic. "Boss, how long do we have left?" Sitting in the back row of him, a young man who didn't look very old looked out the window and asked boredly. His name is Zhao Xiao, and he is an E-class prospector in the Containment Planning Team.
Originally, they were exploring a biological research facility in the era of the Human Union seventy kilometers away, but suddenly received an order from their superiors to go to the wasteland outside Yanze and retrieve a special research material at the map coordinates. The photo provided by the superior is a propeller aircraft of the "Hawk" fighter model, which is in service with the Falcon Kingdom. To be honest, he had no interest in that kind of old antique, and if it weren't for the orders of his superiors, he wouldn't want to come here at all. "It's just ahead." Zheng Hao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, replied succinctly, not thinking much about this energetic young man. Compared to those E-Class, he knew a little more about the inside story.
According to a colleague in the Department of Foreign Affairs, they found the fruiting body of the slime fungus variant in the cabin of a crashed "Eagle" fighter jet on their way to Luoxia Province. As we all know, the fruiting body of slime molds cannot exist in isolation, and there must be a mobile mother or brood nearby. Recovering that propeller plane was just one of the missions. Their real mission is to search for the strange Matrix.
According to the researcher who reported the situation, it could be a life form they hadn't seen before, and further research could lead to significant discoveries. At this moment, the sky in the distance suddenly flashed with a faint blue arc light, Zheng Hao raised his head suddenly, looked ahead and squinted slightly. The driver, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke. "It's the plume of the plasma engine.
"Well," Zheng Hao nodded and said with a cautious expression, "Eighty percent are people from the enterprise." ”
Although he rarely made friends with the East Coast gang, his instincts told him that it would not be good to be there with those people. It's not just the captain who is alert.
As soon as they heard the word enterprise, the expressions of everyone in the carriage suddenly became serious. The young man who couldn't be idle before showed a eager expression.
Turning off the screen, Zheng Hao stuffed the tablet into the mezzanine above his head, picked up the tactical helmet that was resting aside and put it on, then took out the tactical backpack placed next to the seat, and looked back at the group of teammates who were waiting for him behind him.
"Xiao Jiang, release the drone and search the sector area ten kilometers ahead...... Flag all exposed suspected threat targets. "Okay."
The short-haired woman sitting at the back of the carriage nodded slightly, raised her index finger to the right side of her temple, and then closed her eyes. Slender pale gold lines blend into the ends of her black hair.
At the same time, three triangular small UAVs deployed on the top of the tracked vehicle, swallow-shaped tail spewed out short flames, swished into the air one after another, turned into afterimages and galloped away in the direction of the south.
Her name is Jiang Xuezhou, and she is an E-class personnel like the young man named Zhao Xiao.
However, her position is not that of an Explorer, but of a slightly higher level of researcher, serving as a technical advisor and drone operator on the team, and is also the highest-ranking person other than the team leader.
Everyone was quietly waiting for news from her.
At this time, Jiang Xuezhou, who had his eyes closed, suddenly frowned, raised his head suddenly, and reported quickly in a voice without ups and downs. "A slime fungus lifeform suspected to be a mother has been discovered! The target is 3.7 kilometers due north of us and is in an approximate humanoid form. It was followed by a ...... Humans?" A look of surprise appeared on her face, but she still didn't open her eyes. Zhao Xiao, who was sitting on the side, also had an expression of disbelief on his face. "Are you sure about humans?"
The predatory instinct for other organisms is almost written into the DNA of the slime mold variant.
They themselves were weapons designed to clean up other organisms, especially the fragile matrix, how could they possibly allow living things to exist around them. Zheng Wu frowned.
"Are you sure it's a human, not a slime fruiting entity disguised as a human"
"Eighty percent sure...... He was wearing clothes, there were no obvious broken wounds on the clothes, and there were no traces of slime fungus erosion in the exposed parts," Jiang Xuezhou's expression suddenly paused slightly when he said this, "The man lit the lighting rod. "What does he want to do," Zhao Xiao immediately asked.
Jiang Xuezhou continued quickly: "He held it in his hand and waved it, as if he was trying to attract the attention of something...... Wait, the transport planes of the enterprise are approaching them! That person is an employee of the company, they are a gang, Zheng Hao's expression was slightly dark.
He didn't know why the people of the Enterprise were eyeing the Matrix, just as he didn't know why the Parent Mutant Slime Molder was near the Wandering Swamp. He only understands one thing. That's his prey.
We must not let the thieves on the East Coast cut off their beards, "shoot it down," Zheng Hao immediately ordered.
"Ah......" Jiang Xuezhou was slightly stunned, his face was embarrassed, "But...... I'm operating a reconnaissance drone. "Fly straight over! The engine spout aimed at it crashes in!" The two embroidered eyebrows twitched slightly, Jiang Xuezhou's heart ached, but he also knew that now was not the time to feel sorry for the equipment, so he still listened to the captain's words and complied. After a moment, she took a deep breath and continued with her thin lips.
"Hit the target...... The left engine of the aircraft caught fire and was making an emergency landing. “
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in their hearts finally fell. Zheng Hao stared at her and continued to order.
"Keep tracking the parent position! Also, mark the location of the crash site and the survivors nearby. “
Jiang Xuezhou closed his eyes and nodded, indicating that he understood, and his furrowed brows seemed to be distressed by the burning funds, so he did not speak. Zheng Wu didn't care, and continued to look at the driver.
"Old Song, continue to move forward in the current direction, and arrive at the location of the map and stand by! Xiao Zhao, take your observer to the vicinity of the mission coordinates to find a suitable sniper point. "Received"
Lao Song, who was holding the steering wheel, nodded, and Zhao Xiao, who was sitting in the back, responded excitedly, and then couldn't wait to take out a sniper with a length of one meter and a half from the suitcase and loaded it with accessories that might be used for a while. Zheng Hao then looked at the other team members.
"Attention units, we are facing a business, and you are not welcome to that group of robbers. Check your gear and prepare for a firefight...... Group C stayed in the car and stood by, listening to Lao Song's command, and Group A and Group B followed me."
A uniform answer rang out in the carriage. "Yes Captain"
Glancing around at his teammates, Zheng Hao nodded with satisfaction, then opened the car door and ordered with a wave of his hand. "Action!" At the same time.
There was chaos on the swirling and falling killer whale transport plane, with the shrill alarm bell ringing and the cabin flashing red with alarms.
Ye Shi, who didn't fasten his seat belt, was thrown to the ceiling, but fortunately, the eye of the storm next to him suddenly grabbed his collar and dragged him back with the strength of his exoskeleton, so that he didn't get a bruised nose and swollen face in the cabin.
Tied himself to the seat again, and the embarrassed Night Ten scolded and complained. "Mom! Lao Tzu knew that the dog planner must be ————woowoo!" Tempest, who was sitting on the sidelines, stretched out his right hand and quickly covered the guy's mouth. "If you don't say a few words, you'll die"
The pilot's screams were heard from the cockpit.
"The left engine is on fire, damn something, it hit us," Lao Bai couldn't help but curse.
"Damn, don't you planes have radars?"
The pilot was sweating profusely, clinging to the rudder with both hands, trying to balance with the only remaining engine.
"I don't know! The radar is obviously on, so it stands to reason that even a sparrow can't escape my eyes...... Damn it! What the hell is going on?!" I don't know it's okay.
There is a new understanding of the unreliability of non-combatants in enterprises.
Looking at the busy pilot, Lao Bai gritted his teeth and completely gave up the last vestiges of illusions about this guy. Looking at the upside-down teammates in the cabin behind him, he yelled.
"We were attacked by anti-aircraft missiles, and the number of enemies and the types of targets are uncertain! All units check the equipment and prepare for the forced landing! Immediately after landing, they dispersed to the outside of the cabin to find cover and conceal."
The creaking sound of metal grinding was like the clenched teeth of everyone, and a roar of war was heard from the trembling cabin in the airflow. "Yes" whoever it is.
They will make this guy who doesn't talk about martial arts sneak attack pay! Not far from the open field.
Waving the feathers of the light stick, he looked at the flying killer whale transport plane with regret, and the smile of joy froze on his face. Not to mention how hard he has been in the past two days.
The surrounding barren mountains and mountains are full of dangerous xenomorphs, not to mention that there is a clingy little guy next to him who is not honest. In the past two days, he barely closed his eyes, and only dared to sneak a short nap while Xiao Yu was not paying attention. I thought I would finally be able to avoid the hardships and eat a big meal and sleep peacefully. As a result, how did a good plane suddenly fall off "blanch"
Angrily slamming the light stick on the ground, Luo Yu couldn't help but curse, and took out the 9mm pistol pinned to his waist. Not known about what happened though.
But the crash was not an ordinary flight accident, it must have been hit by a missile or something else. If the legion shot down the plane, it was used as bait by those people to encircle the point and send reinforcements. The immediate priority now is to move from this area before the big noses reel in their nets. "Xiao Yu, it's time for us to go!"
The latest chapter of "This Game is Too Real" is the first release on the whole network: domain name
Xiao Yu, who was running by his arm, tilted his head inexplicably, not knowing what was happening, but just shouted along to show his understanding.
