Chapter Seventy-Two: Stealing Home
The sun had fallen to the ground several hours earlier, the stars and the moon had taken refuge behind thick clouds and polluted clouds, the stellar light from hundreds of years ago and the reflected moonlight could not penetrate the thick clouds, and the deep darkness covered the sky as if a curtain had been hung in pure black, and for the first time, the mechanical city had its first night without Sibylla's management and at the same time suffering from the invasion of the rebels.
Although the public network and anthropomorphic housekeeper are still inaccessible because of Sibila's downtime, these basic functions such as public transportation and urban emergency power supply and water supply have been restored to normal with the efforts of emergency repair personnel.
The city is lit up with sparkling lights, but because it is a state of emergency, and the power plant outside the city has been destroyed by the resistance forces, so every household can only maintain a minimum power supply, and the bright and dazzling neon signs used to decorate the city have been turned off, making this mechanical city a little less drunk and dreamy, and a little more alive with thousands of lights gradually lit up.
But only the southern part of the city still maintains an out of place darkness.
It was still an enemy-occupied area, and the fighting had been going on for nearly ten hours since the automatic turret entered the battlefield, with no end in sight.
The streets and alleys of the southern part of the city not only did not return to calm with the fall of night, but became more intense, the sound of dense machine gun fire was endless, and from time to time the trajectory of fire would pierce the sky, and the sound of grenades and rockets flying and exploding sounded one after another in the silent and dark south of the city, and it could be clearly heard in several blocks.
In the dark, life disappears silently at every moment, the automatic turret is a ruthless, sophisticated and efficient killer, its every fire is designed to destroy the enemy, even in near-total darkness, it has other ways to lock onto the target, and accurately kill every target enemy that is locked.
Of course, the results achieved by the rebels are not bad, after paying a relatively huge price of troops, there are not many automatic turrets left in the southern part of the city, and the southern part of the city is about to completely fall into the control of the rebel forces.
In addition to the rebel forces who were the first to enter the city, many more victims were buried silently in the darkness.
Every life was squeezed out of the last trace of value under Sanming's precise calculations, and she used the hands of Dr. Hyde to eradicate the uncontrolled thorn troops in the Tiehua Regiment who were recruited from other resistance forces, and they exchanged their lives for precious information on the front line, and the reinforcements sent to the front line to send them to death consumed the number of automatic turrets, but unfortunately, they unfortunately did not last to the end, most of them died on the battlefield, and only a few remnants of the defeated soldiers survived.
Of course, their deaths are also meaningful, at least their deaths are a good inspiration to the rebels' determination to resist, and also make the smart people who have profited a lot in this purge put away their own small calculations.
Probably the vast majority of the unlucky ones who were sent to the front line would not know that they had died from the calculations of their allies, they would only think that this was the backhand and trap of the tyrant Hyde, and what was even more unexpected was that this calculation had begun to appear as early as the purge campaign. When these thorny troops were still complacent because Sanming was afraid of the power in their hands and did not dare to weaken the power in their hands and could only turn to infighting, they didn't know that Sanming had already set the time for them to leave.
In the headquarters, the staff officers were in full swing giving orders, and the mixed units stationed outside the city that had been waiting for a long time finally waited for the order to attack, and they began to move under the cover of night.
The silence of the night was broken by the roar of engines of the armored troops, and the armored vehicles that looked like they were patched together by cracks in brass and iron crushed the fragile ground of the streets, and the personnel carriers loaded with soldiers drove through the quiet streets, those six hours later than the scheduled arrival time, stuck on the high ground for a long time and unable to descend, and the mechanical units known as the four legs of the dragon knights followed closely into the city
Tower of Babel, seventy-seven floors.
The southern part of the city on the projection map has been completely painted red, and the last few statues symbolize self
The light point of the moving turret was attacked by a large number of rebel troops, including several icons representing armored units, and the turret held out for less than ten minutes under the siege of this large number of firepower, and the point of light representing the automatic turret flickered a few times and was replaced with a destroy mark.
The area south of the city that was occupied by the rebels no longer had a light point symbol for the turrets, and all automatic turrets that had been used in battle were wiped out.
Looking at the silence of the Chengnan District, Hyde couldn't help but sigh: the rebels have completely taken the south of the city, and it seems that the other party has decided to officially take action.
Johnson nodded in agreement: it can be seen that they have learned their lessons and changed tactics very quickly, and they can quickly identify loopholes in the terrain and turret layout, and develop targeted tactics.
Although the combat effectiveness of the automatic defense system in street battles is incomparable to that of the rebels, the military literacy shown by the rebels in these more than ten hours of high-intensity combat is not for nothing, even if there is a layer of reasons for excluding dissidents and deliberately taking human lives to consume the automatic turret, the military literacy embodied by the rebels and the staff committee behind them is still so high that he feels a little surprised.
This can be seen in the annihilation battle of the last turrets just now, the artillery fires electromagnetic interference shells to shield the detection parts of the automatic turret, the sniper clicks the street monitoring probe, preventing Hyde from manually taking over the turret with the help of the field of view of the monitoring probe to counteract, the armored unit advances with the not obvious armor advantage, and the infantry unit follows the armored vehicle steadily forward, showing an encirclement trend and does not give the automatic turret a chance to reload and dissipate heat, and pulls out the automatic turret one by one.
They have already figured out the weak point of the automatic turret no, it should be the entire automatic defense system, and began to conduct targeted operations.
Hyde closed the mini-map of the southern part of the city, picked up the coffee on the table that had already turned cold, and drank it down: I have a hunch that the automatic defense system will be difficult to have any effect next, and the speed of the resistance will be further accelerated, and it will be close to the Tower of Babel If the other party is a crazy person who is good at gambling, he will send a decapitation force to infiltrate the Tower of Babel to assassinate me before steadily advancing to the periphery.
From now on, my life is in jeopardy.
That being said, there was no tension in his tone, as if he were telling a trivial matter.
Seeing him so calm, Johnson couldn't help but wonder: Do you have any hole cards hidden again? Just wait for them to make a shocking reversal when they come to the front, and then satisfy your bad taste?
If there was a way to counter the Resistance's advantage in one fell swoop, I would have come up with it in the first place. Compared to my bad taste, the lives of the people in the city are more important. Dr. Hyde turned his head to look at the ministers who were nervous and quietly busy: How is the work of the ministries progressing so far?
At present, the residents of the third ring road to the second ring road have been evacuated 60 percent under the overload of public transportation, and 40 percent of the residents of the whole city have been evacuated
There is a big gap in construction security, we have found many construction robots that can still be used, cooperate with workers and technicians, quickly build materials and reserve emergency supplies on weekdays, although we can build temporary housing in a short time, but the scale is not optimistic about accommodating the whole city
The front line has already set up roadblocks with damaged automatic vehicles and automatic turrets, and with the cooperation of the two, it should be able to buy a lot of time
The bad news is that after activating the automatic defense system, it may be difficult to hold on to the power generation facilities and batteries in the city until the next day, and it is expected to be in a state of power outage at dawn, the good news is that the rebels have no air superiority, and the Dyson Cloud generator set floating high in the air has not been damaged, and as soon as the sun rises and the generator set starts to operate, the power in each area can be restarted.
The food security is normal, but fortunately, in order to cope with various situations, the strategic reserves are sufficient, and only rely on the nearby reserve warehouse to ensure that the people in the city have enough to eat and drink three meals a day, which is more than enough for a year
Hyde listened carefully to the reports of the ministers, and just as he was about to answer, his head had a sharp pain, as if someone had taken out a drill to drill open his skull and dig a hole in his head, and at the same time, the continuous whispers in his ears suddenly increased in volume, the chaotic noise and the sudden increase in the amount of information made him unable to think, and his eyes became blank, and his body staggered and almost fell.
Doctor?!
Hyde!
The ministers saw Hyde suddenly holding his head and stumbling and almost falling, and immediately screamed, and Johnson stepped forward with a quick arrow and supported Hyde, who was crumbling.
After I was helped to rest on the chair for more than ten minutes, Hyde gradually eased up, his head was still twitching as if he had been pricked by a needle, but he still took a few deep breaths to suppress the pain, and forced a smile to comfort everyone: It's just that I used my brain at high intensity for more than ten hours in a row, which made me a little tired
Before the words were finished, everyone felt that the ground under their feet shook violently as if it had been an earthquake, accompanied by a rumbling sound like thunder, the cups on the table crackled and fell to the ground in the violent shaking, and before everyone could react to what was happening, a sharp and piercing alarm suddenly sounded, and at the same time, the urgent and surprised exclamation of the guards also resounded throughout the building through the radio!
Doctor! Enemy Invasion! An enemy has invaded the Tower of Babel! Repeat! Someone's invaded!
