Chapter 172: Hunting
In the middle of the man-made continent of Inzhou, a dreamlike, resplendent majestic complex of buildings spreads over the horizon at the end of Vincent's vision, standing above the earth.
Vincent took a deep look at the complex of buildings at the end of his field of vision, which stretched into a line that covered the entire horizon, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After today, the city will probably be burned to the ground, and it may not be settled for a long time to come.
"Report! 1 team and 2 teams are all here, ready to listen to the captain's instructions! The young lieutenant reported the situation to Vincent in a loud voice that was almost broken - he was a newcomer, but he was fortunate enough to be selected to participate in the crusade of the Mother Calamity, and although he was only doing logistics work in the rear and could not fight head-on, he was also entrusted with important tasks. This made him feel excited, emotional, and even his voice involuntarily raised a few degrees.
"Call the command center, the Omega detachment has arrived at the designated place and can act at any time-" Vincent's ears were shocked by the young adjutant's loud voice, and while issuing the order, he couldn't help but look at the latter a few more times, and indifferently ordered, "Next, the 1st team will listen to my instructions at any time, and the 2nd team will be on standby and the command authority will be temporarily transferred to the adjutant, and the adjutant should always pay attention to the front-line signals and command the 2nd team to act according to the original plan." ”。
"Yes!"
Although the young adjutant tightened his face and deliberately tried to pretend to have a grim expression, as if he was facing a great enemy, his rolling eyes and deafening yelling had betrayed his true mood - the excitement in the child's heart was almost uncontrollable......
Not only him, but also many of the guards in the team, although their faces were hidden under the shadow of their hoods, Vincent could still read their true mood in the slight changes in their faces.
Those guards who are excited in their hearts and are eager to try as if they are ready to show their strength at any time are mostly some relatively new generation of guards, although they have had several tasks to deal with and contain the Mother of Calamity, but they are only in the periphery to contain the spread, such as the young adjutant, these new generation of guards have not faced the experience of the Mother of Calamity several times, nor do they know its horror and horror, so these guards in this plan are mainly in the safe area to ensure the important work of logistics support, and to remotely assist the main battlefield.
The main force of this crusade is the elite guards of the crusade - they are either the elite who have faced the Calamity Mother many times and survived, or they are veterans who have been fighting since the time of the crusade against the Miracle Saints, and this rich experience against the enemy ensures that they have a better chance of surviving in the face of unexpected situations.
Most of these people were familiar faces in Vincent's eyes, old comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side for many years, and now these people who knew best about the horrors of the Mother Calamity had solemn expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy, staring at the endless complex at the end of their field of vision.
Vincent glanced at the two groups of people in the team who were in diametrically opposed moods, and a thought suddenly popped into his heart:
After today's crusade, how many familiar faces will survive?
What they have to face is not the flesh monster that continues to multiply and expand into the flesh fragments before, but the body of the Calamity Mother, no one knows what accidents will happen, even if the battlefield is arranged in advance, the traps are dug, and the ambush and countermeasure weapons are set up to put into the two-thirds of the elite of the Rebel Guard and some of the pioneers who are good at fighting, but this is still a tough battle.
I am afraid that there will not be one in ten who can survive.
"The preliminary arrangement has been completed, and the guidance beacon in the city has been opened, and it is releasing resonance signals to the outside to induce the arrival of the Mother Calamity! Teams, get ready! ”
"The support detachment is starting to guide the mental calibration, waiting for the next command! Strike teams, please be prepared and wait to enter! ”
"Repeat! The support team begins to guide the mental calibration ......"
Vincent's musings were interrupted by a series of contacts ringing in his ears, and the young lieutenant beside him had already begun to guide his mind to calibrate according to the contact from the command center, and he shook his head violently to dispel the nonsense in his heart, and turned his head to give the order.
"1 team sorts up equipment! Take out your weapons! Activate the Purification Barrier! Listen to me! Always ready to jump into the battlefield! ”
Swish!
The long sword was unsheathed, emitting a crisp sword sound, and the elite guards with serious faces and solemn expressions neatly drew the long sword with a glittering light at their waists, while their left hand clenched into a fist and gently grasped the eight-pointed star talisman on their chest.
Invisible and qualitative purification barriers are unfolded one after another, which is an important barrier to protect them from contamination after entering the site
The atmosphere was silent to freezing point, no one spoke, no one made superfluous sounds, and even the sound of breathing was suppressed to a minimum, as if it was afraid that too much sound would upset the delicate balance and lead to accidents.
The calm before the storm didn't last long, and after a brief and unbearable few minutes, the command center contact came down.
"Calamity Matrix signal detected! It's approaching! Sixty seconds left in the estimated contact time! Please note that the Mother of Calamity still has 60 seconds to arrive, and the support team behind the Mother Body will immediately guide Wishing to clean up the scene and eliminate irrelevant people! Each attacking team enters the field at the same time to suppress it! ”
"Repeat! The Mother of Calamity embodied the support team behind her, and immediately guided the wishing to clear the field! Each attacking team enters the field at the same time to suppress! ”
With the communication from the command center, a blue projection light curtain appeared in front of the team leaders in different areas of the dusty wasteland without vegetation, and the light curtain condensed into a constantly flickering number, and the number on it began to jump from 60 to 59 and then to 58......
Vincent watched the numbers on the projection screen in front of him jump, until now he could not agree with the decision of the Blazers, and put the lives of tens of millions of people in danger as a bargaining chip and bait, which was completely unacceptable to Vincent's moral standards.
Although there were many Pathfinders within the Pathfinder Council who resisted this resolution, the plan was finally finalized - because judging from the laws of cracked behavior, it was impossible to successfully induce the Calamity Matrix with a simple guide and resonance device, and only by placing a bait around the guide point and the resonance device that was enough for her to cast her eyes could lead her into the trap that the Pathfinder and the Rebel Guard had already prepared.
The lives of tens of millions of people and their biomass were the bait chosen by the Pioneer Council to make the Mother Calamity cast its attention.
As the captain of the Rebel Guard, he does not have the ability to meddle at a higher level, so he can only obey the decisions of the Pioneer Council.
Even if he has a bad heart, he will carry out the task, because it is his responsibility.
But Vincent still remembers why he joined the Rebel Guard, and what the Pioneers set off the Battle of Wonders and the Age of Great Miracles to change the world......
In order to protect people's peace in the present and create an era in which people can live better......
When the number was reduced to zero, the sky at the end of the field of vision suddenly darkened, and the black clouds seemed to be forcibly squeezed together by some powerful force, and the black clouds could no longer remain cloud-like under the squeeze and blending of that inexplicable force, and became like some kind of liquid surging and rolling in the sky, like a black ocean, and then the black ocean hanging upside down in the sky began to slowly fall to the ground.
And the buildings that occupied the entire horizon were also changed, the golden and glorious buildings began to fade and gradually decay and crumble, the dreamlike hazy light turned into shadowy and twisted ghosts, the buildings grew out of thin air with swollen, deformed sarcomas and writhing tentacles, and some purple-black 'stains' began to appear on the ground. The 'stains' spread rapidly on the ground, forming a mushroom carpet on the surface that looked like flesh and sludge, and hatching and contamination first manifested on these artifacts made by the power of wishing!
Calamity is coming!
At the same time, the two voices resounded in the wilderness in unison.
"Wishing Network, immediately move all non-combatants out of the city at the end of the spectrum!"
"One team prepares as a whole! Jump into the battlefield! ”
