In the deep and dark deep space, an umbrella-shaped spacecraft is slowly approaching the blue planet from a distant orbit, looking like a dandelion falling from the sky.

Compared to the entire blue planet, the dandelion-shaped spacecraft was as small as dust.

However, if you look closely, it is a completely different scenery.

I saw that the steel umbrella bones stretched outward, encompassing an area of several square kilometers.

Countless rings with a diameter of one meter are embedded in the long strip of umbrella bones, aiming at the tip of the "handle" pointed at the ground, like a suction cup on the leg of an octopus.

A few months ago, the Coalition activated gravity wells to remove orbital debris floating in outer space, and the space-based weapon was redeployed outside of geosynchronous orbit.

And now, with all the garbage in low-earth orbit falling into the southern seas, the big killer has been brought back again.

The alignment of the direction was quickly completed, and the rings gradually emitted a faint blue light, like a light slowly lit up in the long night.

And this light is a whole day......

……

On the other side, in the ground command center of Dawning City, a group of officers led by Vanus were standing with serious expressions, staring at the light blue holographic screen directly in front of them.

A military operation codenamed "Heavenly Punishment" has begun.

Coalition corps led by the Skeleton Corps and the Death Corps are heading from Pioneer City and Ravenka Industrial Zone, respectively, in the north and south directions towards Vault 13, located in the middle of the Great Desert!

And just as the ground troops were galloping towards the base camp of the Enlightenment Society, the strategic weapon called "Heavenly Thunder" was the first to arrive on the battlefield as early as yesterday and entered the final stage of preparation for a strategic attack.

Looking at the aerial footage of the orbital weapon on the holographic screen, a senior officer couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"To be honest, using this weapon against them always makes me feel like a cannon is hitting mosquitoes."

The "Sky Thunder" is a one-time weapon, and it is basically scrapped after the fight, just like a missile.

Although this thing works wonders against organisms, it is not as effective as an electromagnetic pulse against androids.

A long time ago, the Enlightenment Society installed a large number of android soldiers and intelligent weapons with the help of the Celestials, and even now the Enlightenment Society has almost been assimilated by the Celestials.

Even if the neutron plume could wipe out their perimeter personnel from the surface with a single click, the Coalition's ground forces would still have to fight the androids with real guns.

Vanus knew exactly what his men were thinking.

From a tactical point of view, it is indeed not the most efficient means to deal with the Enlightenment Society with "Heavenly Thunder", but from a strategic level, it is a different matter.

"Now is the time when you need to use a cannon to fight mosquitoes."

The index finger lifted the brim of the officer's hat, and Vanus continued with a grim expression.

"It could even be said that this weapon was made for this moment."

Even at the height of the war with the Southern Legion, the Alliance never played such cards.

Because the other party is also a human after all, and has not completely reduced to a beast or another existence.

And enlightenment will be different.

Including the celestials to whom they are attached.

They have in fact committed unforgivable crimes and threatened the right of all survivors of the wasteland to live.

No one is more worthy of "heavenly punishment" than themselves.

The light that falls from the sky will bring more than destruction.

And at the same time deterrence!

At this moment when the two were talking, a cold electronic voice sounded in the empty command room—

The "SoG" system has been deployed, and the phase-neutron killing strategic space-based railgun has entered the third charging stage."

"Countdown: 0 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds."

……

The hanging blade shimmered with a more dazzling coldness

, the countdown to the end is silently reciting the final sound.

Covered in yellow sand, mutant wanderers wearing battle-damaged exoskeletons are searching for valuable treasures in the wreckage of orbital junk, and by the way, to see if there are any human scavengers hiding in the ruins.

Long ago, the Enlightenment people issued high bounties to them.

If they can find a shelter that has been opened but has not yet been discovered, they will be rewarded with 100 fertile slaves, and at least.

As for the strange metal parts, they can be exchanged for usable exoskeletons and assault rifles designed for their physiques from resource exchange points.

In fact, with the exception of the survivors hiding in turtle shells and the Enlightenment Society retreating to Vault 13, there are no living people living on the surface near the ruins of the space elevator in the Great Desert.

And due to the lack of order and the connivance of the Enlightenment, this area has long since become a paradise for mutants.

Today, as usual, the "fangs" with missing ears are rummaging with their heads buried in their heads.

But unlike usual, its nose with a keen sense of smell suddenly smelled a faint breath from the noisy sand.

Unlike rust, which can be smelled everywhere -

It smelled like death itself!

It raised its head alertly, twisted its neck, and looked around like a groundhog emerging from a burrow.

However, at this moment, a touch of astonishment and panic suddenly appeared in those hideous and bloody eyes.

I saw that in the billowing dust, more than a dozen huge silver flying machines flew forward against the ground.

A deafening roar came from far and near, and the flickering plasma plume was like a volcano bursting with magma!

That seems to be the "Overlord" transport plane of the Alliance!

In addition to the transport plane, next to the array of transport planes flying close to the ground, there were also "Cloud Fly" ornithopters flying side by side!

"Roaring ——!"

I've never seen this place shake before, and the mutants standing in the garbage heap are completely panicked, picking up the guy in their hands and loading it, while howling and greeting their teammates.

Thousands of mutants have emerged from the ruins.

Some of them wore exoskeletons and large-caliber rifles in their hands, and some wore nothing, only picking up a few pieces of iron to hang on their bodies, and relying on yelling and screaming to strengthen their courage.

The surging silver torrent apparently noticed them, and the two Overlord transport planes lowered their altitude, their bellies almost touching the ground, and slowed down to the limit!

At this moment, the hatch of the transport plane opened in an instant, and more than a dozen Chimera armored vehicles rushed out and poured out of the inclined hatch!

"Prepare for Battle!!

A player leans out of the turret of an armored vehicle, holds the heavy machine gun on the turret with both hands, and slams into the ruins in front of him!

Not to be outdone, the 37-mm guns on the turret were not to be outdone, and high-explosive shells were sprayed one after another, hitting the distant bunkers like beating drums!

Under the crossfire of .50 caliber machine guns and 37mm guns, the mutant wanderers crawling on the edge of the ruins were instantly beaten and couldn't lift their heads!

At the same time that the mutant wanderers were suppressed by fire, a "Thunder" fighter roared through the sky, emptying the bomb bay in just two seconds!

"Porphyry——!

The roaring rain of bullets was like thunder, closely following behind the flickering sparks, and in an instant, a "trench" several meters long and more than half a meter deep was crushed on the ruins!

Dozens of mutants carrying anti-tank bazookas were killed in an instant, and a crack was torn open in an instant!

The cloudfly ornithopter swarmed up, and the suspended machine gun was fired at the ground in a sudden strafing fire.

In just a few breaths, nearly 3,000 mutants have been killed or injured under the indiscriminate bombardment, and those who survived were all stunned and fled as if they were dead.

Of course, they can't escape.

Even if you can escape the strafing of the Chimera armored vehicles and the cloud ornithopter, you will definitely escape

Don't drop the heavenly punishment that will come in an hour!

The small forces of the Coalition roaming outside the nuclear strike zone are like scissors, cutting through the mutant forces scattered by the Initiation Society near the wreckage of the orbital elevator base, and driving them in the direction of the nuclear strike zone.

Only the permanent shelter of the vault could hold back the neutron plume that fell from the sky.

Death awaits them.

The Canyon Fugitive Mole leaned out of the turret and squinted in the direction of the mutant wanderers.

It's so weak.

Compared to the opponents he had dealt with before, these guys could only be described as vulnerable.

Of course –

Maybe it's not that their opponents are too weak, but that they're so strong today that there's no one on the planet who can be their opponent.

I don't know if this is the last battle.

If you open a new expansion, I'm afraid you'll have to go to another planet.

The index finger was pointed at the communicator next to his ear, and the [Canyon Fugitive Mole] let out a charging cry into the communication channel.

"Brethren—"

"Our brethren lurking in Vault 13 have risen up, it's time to send these rats to hell!"

"Forward !!"

The deafening sound pierced through the roar of the engine, and he was answered by an equally excited shout.

"Kill ——!!!"

……

"Bang ——!"

Vault 13.

At the same time that the gunshots rang out in the conference room, another shot rang out at the Vault's track interchange.

Shelter dwellers wearing exoskeletons, armed with assault rifles and light blue identification strips strapped to their arms, responded in a surprise attack on the security forces stationed at the transportation hub.

As Zhuang Lan said, she has never fought alone, and has always fought side by side with a group of like-minded people.

Among them are not only the residents of Vault 404, but also residents from other Vaults, as well as those who have been seduced by the Enlightenment and awakened.

They formed a group called the Watchmen.

While the Enlightenment was busy infiltrating the survivors of the wasteland, they were already plotting to infiltrate the Enlightenment, and with the help of "Marik", they gradually reached into Vault 13!

Although the Enlightenment Society is extremely good at stealing chickens and dogs, the current Enlightenment Society has long been assimilated by the Celestial Organization into another kind of half-human thing, sinking into the game of power, and gradually neglecting its old business.

It is precisely because of this that they were waiting for the punishment to come, and they were not aware of the infiltration of the watchers, and were caught off guard by the sudden sound of gunfire.

The exploding electromagnetic pulse grenade paralyzed the security drone roaring in the air in an instant, and the sudden strafing caught the heavily-clad android security guard off guard!

Nearly 100 watchmen quickly broke into the vicinity of the transit platform of the rail transit transfer station, and fired suddenly at the security robots that came along the stairs to reinforce them.

Nearly 30 robots were shot in an instant!

Exploded into a dazzling cloud of electric sparks in the acrid smoke, then exploded in a deafening roar!

The scene was chaotic, with gunshots and explosions incessant, like purgatory on earth.

Although no one opened fire on civilians, the stray bullets that misfired caused casualties among more than a dozen unrelated people at the scene.

Screams rang one after another, alarm bells blared in the smoke, and people scrambled to escape to safety.

Obviously—

They chose to turn a blind eye and did not really escape chaos and death, even though they had chosen to sell their souls and stand by the side of the demon.

And silence doesn't really come without a price, it's just a little late.

Even if it is, it is

Worthy of sympathy.

The battle continues.

More than a dozen watchmen wearing exoskeletons quickly took control of the machine room of the transportation hub, implanted the virus to close the running rail line, and then broadcast a broadcast announcing the occupation of the shelter, guiding the shelter residents to evacuate to the designated safe area.

In the conference room on the other side, Tianqi, who was confronting Zhuang Lan, still had no expression on his face, but the pair of scarlet electrons exuded a cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The situation is gradually starting to turn against the Enlightenment, and perhaps the time for him to turn his face will have to be carefully considered.

But it seems too late to reverse it now.

The other party obviously calculated this, so he chose to attack the Enlightenment Society and the celestial beings at this juncture.

"I'll leave it to you."

Throwing this sentence at Tian Lei beside him, Apocalypse turned around cleanly, left the conference room with the two android participants, and hurried in the direction of the server room of the vault.

At the same time, a group of robot security guards rushed into the conference room, and the pitch-black assault rifles in their hands seemed to be beating everyone in the conference room into a sieve in the next second.

"Die."

Looking at the organism wearing the exoskeleton in front of him, Tian Lei's face showed a cruel smile, and he raised his right hand to signal the security guards to fire.

At that critical moment, the ceiling above everyone's heads suddenly exploded.

"Boom ——!"

The burst debris and billowing smoke fell like a waterfall, covering the entire corridor outside the conference room, and the security robots were caught off guard.

Someone planted explosives in the ventilation ducts!

And that's not all-

At the same time that the broken steel bars fell from the sky, the unbridled laughter also landed on the heads of the security robots!

"Quack! It's finally your turn to pretend to be forced!"

Wearing a light exoskeleton and holding an assault rifle [Medical Miracle], he stepped on the ceiling and fell from the sky, and swept at the android standing at the door of the conference room!

Tianlei's eyes flashed red, his arms reached forward like lightning, and the huge barrel of the gun released from his palm was about to fire, but his head flew into the sky with a "bell".

The scimitar in his hand was like a phantom, looking at the headless android who turned around and tried to parry, Zhuang Lan raised his hand and slashed it again, and the spurting sparks directly slashed into the chest of the android!

"Bell ——!"

A loud sound of metal echoed through the hallway, followed by a deafening explosion.

Looking at the boSS that was seconds, the medical miracle was dumbfounded and screamed.

"Gan! Lao Tzu's boSS!"

p！

I pretended to be crazy and stupid for several months, just to wait for this moment, but I was robbed!!

Not understanding what he was saying, Zhuang Lan shook the knife in his hand and said concisely.

"You're late."

"There was a delay on the way...... "The medical miracle said bitterly.

Looking at his uncomfortable expression, Zhuang Lan teased and said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine...... But a few minutes later won't be necessary, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Lao Tzu didn't worry about you.

The medical miracle endured the pain and walked into the conference room, glanced around, and then grabbed him and fell to the groundDirector Feng, pressed him to the chair, and at the same time, took out the hemostatic spray and sprayed it on his bleeding leg.

A shot pierced the artery.

This guy is still alive either because he has a prosthetic body, or he is really fatal.

Looking at the pale, medical miracle coughed twice, and handed the V on his arm with a serious expression.

"You have two choices, either give me admin authority or die."

Vault 13 has no administrator, and instead has a director who is selected by all survivors.

In the event of the death of the Director, authority is inherited by the Deputy Director

If the deputy director also dies, voting will be reopened.

This was a rule that was laid down before the death of the first managers, and it has been so for more than a century.

So he wasn't afraid at all that this guy wouldn't hand over his authority, wasting a bullet at most.

And in fact, just as he expected, Director Feng threw out the control almost without hesitation and transferred it to the wrist-borne computer in front of him.

"Here you go! Take it! Damn, I shouldn't have waded into this troubled water, this unhelpful ......."

He screamed tremblingly, cold sweat broke out on his pale forehead, but he was a little relieved.

The authority that had once made him so happy was now abandoned by him, like some dirty thing.

The medical miracle half-squatting on the ground was getting up from the ground, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Your own pick...... What does it have to do with the people in the Vault?"

Director Feng looked at him in fear, and suddenly restrained a little, but he still babbled hard.

"Do you think it's my fault, too? Hehe...... Win or lose, whatever you want. But I still have to say that I just said what they thought in their hearts and did it...... In the end, the responsibility lies with me."

"Isn't it up to you to bear it?" The medical miracle shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, you've enjoyed it, but those 'Diao people' may not have enjoyed it."

Ignoring the grim-faced waste, he pointed his index finger on the V screen, dotting the areas marked by his comrades in the Watch Order.

Those areas are the only way for security robots to get to the rail hub.

As long as the gates between regions are blocked, they will completely lose the chance to retake the rail transit station, and can only watch the watchmen who occupy the transit station stare dryly.

In contrast, the watchmen's announcements are directing the Vault dwellers to the vicinity of the gate.

When the Heavenly Punishment comes, they will move away the inhabitants of the Vault who are willing to leave the Vault one by one, and then bury those who want to stay and the Celestials who have already descended in the Vault forever.

Seize the entire Sanctuary?

That kind of thankless thing, the league never thought of it from the beginning.

The Celestial virus has corrupted most of the Vault's servers.

The vault is broken, and even with administrator clearance, it won't help.

Maybe it won't be long before even the authority to open and close the door will be taken away by the celestials......

Just as the medical miracle connected to the circuit of the shelter door, the holographic television in the corner of the conference room suddenly lit up, and a distorted face appeared from the pale blue light.

The man was the Apocalypse.

After previously evacuating from the conference room, he appeared to have uploaded his thoughts entirely to the Vault's servers.

This was probably his last resort, and the hysterical rant smacked of the last madness.

"You're not going to succeed—"

"The terminal servers of this vault are already in my hands, and it won't be long before I pry the door open and tear you apart with the security machines in this vault!"

Listening to the impotent roar of rage, the medical miracle said with a mockery.

"Who's stealing the server with you?"

"You're going to hold that rusty server and live with it for the rest of your life."
