Date: June 23.

Time: 8:35 a.m.

Logging No. 204.

"Here...... Whew, this is Karl Heinlitz Marx, and it's the third day of the evacuation. ”

"First of all, report on the status of your daily operations, which ...... Here is the data from 10 minutes ago, and there are some areas that are temporarily out of contact...... Anyway, let's get started. ”

"So far, there are 4 evacuation points under the control of the organization, and in the 203 battles between the Armed Forces Department, the Containment Group and the R&D Department yesterday, a total of two were lost and three collapsed. Of the 36 previously demolished sites, 20 were actually successful, 6 of which have collapsed, 10 have been occupied and permanently destroyed, and the last TBM has been damaged by wall cracking during forced demolition, and we have lost the ability to safely excavate exits on a large scale. ”

"The second evacuation operation was completed, involving a total of 18,322 surviving civilians from the six ministries, accounting for more than 40 percent of the total...... It also includes most of the mothballed employees in the ministries. Among them, more than 5,000 people died accidentally, more than 3,000 people were missing, and at least 8,000 colleagues managed to escape. The total number of people evacuated has been more than 12,300; The number of stranded people was 13,513, and the total number of casualties was ...... About thirteen thousand seven hundred and thirty-nine. ”

"The third batch of evacuation operations began two hours ago, but the situation is not optimistic, the entire containment team has already suffered more than half of the casualties, the offensive of the R&D department has also increased sharply after two hours of silence, and all four main fronts have been fiercely attacked, and now even if the reserves rush to the top line, it will be difficult to maintain it for long...... To add insult to injury, the nihilistic courtiers who were originally stranded in the work area turned out to be ...... It was transferred by the R&D department and began to destroy the facilities in the evacuation area on a large scale......"

"Helplessly, we can only urgently adjust our strategy, take the initiative to abandon an evacuation point, and shrink the front to stabilize the situation......"

"Later...... Black...... Comrade Devna, when everyone was resisting the attack and organizing the evacuation, and had no time to care, suddenly left the team without permission and went to the destroyed evacuation area around 5:56, and launched an attack on the nihilistic courtiers...... And I can't imagine that it really ...... in the end He was truly defeated. But...... The violent aftermath of the attack also instantly reimbursed half of the detachment of the Armed Forces...... Although it also eliminated the two brigades of the R&D department at the same time, it can only be said that it ...... It's not all bad. ”

“…… After the pressure on the Eastern Front was lifted, the Order quickly recaptured the two lost evacuation points. At the time of his death, the huge sinkhole created also became a powerful barrier to the attack of the R&D department. We re-planned the strategic base point and began to shrink in the opposite direction in order to resist a longer period of time......"

"It's 9:01 a.m., the third group of civilians has been evacuated by a fifth, the second group of combatants has been almost lost, and the third line is on top...... But they haven't been trained enough, and hopefully the situation will not be very good. ”

"'The clearance of the macro suppressor in the evacuation zone has been seized by Angela's forces, so it is impossible to stop the transfer of ALEPH-class anomaly.' - Minister Hokma later revealed this information to us. ”

"Present...... Right now...... It's morning...... 9:22 a.m., Returnees...... There are three returnees left......"

"Drip—hum." Suddenly, there was a shockwave in my ears, and the terminal screen in front of me went out. I, Karl Heinlitz Marx, a former 2903rd employee of the Lobe Company and one of the leaders of the Escape Plan of the Employee Organization, had to abruptly terminate logging again, unplug the memory card from the terminal, and carefully store it in the freezer compartment that I carried with me.

"Teacher Marx, there's new news from Rocky's seniors."

The speaker, Eugénie von Westphalia, was my assistant and secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Organization. Eugenie has firm ideals and strong work ability, and is an indispensable and important comrade around me.

"Okay, I'll watch it now." While I took over the materials that had been sent by Eugénie after a brief collation, I instructed the comrades around me: "Comrades, we must move now, and it will be unsafe here. ”

Since we were evacuated from the central control room two hours ago, the situation has become more and more uncontrollable, not only because the communication efficiency is not as good as before, but also because the loss of personnel has also been squeezing the brains of the remaining committee members, each of whom has been working continuously for several days, and the intense mental work has almost broken the spirits of all comrades...... And even with the last few colleagues left, the evacuation still requires a lot of decision-making and technical skills. Now that they have lost their only respite, there is only a danger that is even more difficult to contain in the process of displacement......

But in any case, they must not be allowed to play three long and two short.

Thinking so, I submitted the document to the committee members who were also on the road for consideration, and then took out the [DATA EXPUNGED] EGO weapon and led the guards to explore the way.

"Are we still going to find Daphna-senpai and them?" Suddenly, Eugenie's voice came from the communicator: "The committee members asked me to confirm with the teacher. ”

"Well, after all, it's the only place where we can guarantee safety and is relatively well-equipped, so we don't have a choice." I replied with a solemn expression.

"Yes, I see." Eugénie confirmed, then cut off communications to save energy reserves that were increasingly stretched.

Since most of the committee members are from civilian backgrounds, we are not moving fast, and even with the utmost secrecy efforts, the organization's mobilization activities can only move through the cracks of Angela's (AI) net of surveillance—almost every step forward, with countless signal detections; There is also an emergency guard team behind them, who will rush out of the line at the first moment of detection to attract attention to avoid the commissioners in the rear being discovered...... All in all, we have done our best to maintain the last remnants of the organization, and without a unified leadership and organization, then the price of scattered and separate battles can only be the total annihilation of the army.

"Drip-drip-drip!" Suddenly! Just as the group of centaurs were about to arrive at the main warehouse of Central Region 3, where the last group of containment teams was stationed, the radar siren suddenly sounded sharply - "It's (AI) Angela!" It found us!! The maintenance team immediately alerted all staff. The guards also immediately went on high alert: "Everyone avoids being on standby!" "I immediately gave an order to all the staff, and immediately turned on the map component, linked to the radar component, and focused on observing and thinking about the current situation-

Since the alarm has reached such a critical level, it means that comrades from civilian backgrounds such as committee members have also been discovered, and the nearby R&D troops will soon find us sniffing the coordinates. At present, the situation of Line 1 in charge of the rear is tight, and Line 3 is far away, and the area where Devna is located belongs to the No. 2 front, although the battle situation there is also not optimistic, but the battle line is long, there are many internal twists and turns, and the form is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it is possible that they can provide support to the evacuation team in the interval between battles. The enemy in the vicinity acted in a hurry, and it was inevitable that he would not carry heavy weapons in the short term; The buildings here are reliable, and only need to block the major possible entrances and exits to protect the safe evacuation of comrades in a relatively comprehensive way. All things considered, we still have room to maneuver.

"Attention all!" I immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the comrades around me: "The guard regiment is integrated into three teams, the No. 6 formation!" ”

"Roger!" The heavily armed soldiers saluted for a while, and immediately reorganized their formation, focusing on the front and rear sides of the guard.

"Reserves! You take the first line! Distract your enemies, and if you encounter them, avoid them as much as possible, and don't let them find out what you're doing! ”

"Yes!"

"Correspondent!"

"Here!"

"If there is a battle later, you will immediately send a telegram to Comrade Loki asking for help!"

"Understood!"

"The others, except for the scouts, all stopped their work, dressed up and marched, and immediately maneuvered at full speed along Line 3 to the target area!"

"Yes!"

With the impassioned words in the communicator, the whole team immediately began to act in unison—the soldiers were preoccupied with stationing; The committee members and technicians immediately collected the documents and equipment in their hands; The scouts were unable to get out of the radar and had to be carried by several colleagues......

Soon, the whole crew completed the final preparations for departure. I briefly glanced around, and after confirming that it was correct, I finally gave the command to transfer at full speed:

"Let's go!!"

"Yes!!"

As soon as the words fell, all the staff immediately took steps like a marathon start-even if they were exhausted, they all rushed to the destination that represented life and hope, even the female comrades and others were not willing to be subordinated, and waved their legs with all their strength to maintain the speed of the team at the moment.

Naturally, the sound of our footsteps attracted attention at the first time, but since the advance reserves had already pulled away some of their firepower, the enemy's light points in the radar also showed obvious signs of hesitation - this was the race against time whether we could succeed in surviving, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and rushed towards the second line at full speed.

"Eh!" If someone falls unexpectedly, or faints due to strenuous exercise and exhaustion, colleagues around them will immediately help, or support or lift each other - even if it slows down the journey, our purpose is never to ensure the survival of the so-called "strong", we will not abandon every life.

"Report! They're on the offensive!! ”

At a distance of about two hundred meters in a straight line from our destination, the R&D department finally stopped hesitating and began to block our path of travel, and the light spots on the radar became unprecedentedly dense - it seemed that reinforcements had been obtained.

This tactic of the enemy greatly increased its threat, and apparently they also began to perform a lot of tactical maneuvers under the coordination of (AI) Angela, and began to form a dense encirclement posture from the various corridors and alleys, but the speed of the team did not support a sufficiently efficient disengagement, and it seemed that the battle was inevitable.

"Correspondent! Report to Loki now! Request support! ”

"Yes!"

"All break through the formation, and the reserves move closer to the center!"

"Roger!"

"Whoosh!!" As soon as the words fell, a high-speed grenade immediately whistled through the corridor not far in front of him, and a violent explosion occurred at the end of it, and the smoke and dust flew out along with the flames, instantly shocking the civilian comrades behind him who had never experienced a battle, and also tightened the nerves of the soldiers.

And just like that, the encounter finally started as scheduled.

"Don't panic!" I immediately tried to stabilize the situation: "Everyone go the same way!" The front row guards come with me! ”

"Yes!" With the loud sound of the fighters responding, I immediately clamped the [DATA EXPUNGED] clamps, rushed out of the crowd, and rushed towards the position of the enemy in front of me.

"Bang Bang, fire!" At the same time as we charged, there was a sudden crisp sound of orders in my ears - it was the command of the supervision team composed of regular members of the R&D department - these "halfway monks" soldiers were responsible for commanding a large number of "Bangbangs" from parallel worlds, and the "Warlords" did not have the role of solving deserters in the conventional sense - because the "Bangbangs" would not disobey any tactical instructions they gave at all, they only needed to act as commanders at all levels, organize troops, and complete tasks such as uploading and issuing information and orders, And is endowed with a certain degree of autonomy. In the usual attacks, they often hid in the rear and used the radio to give orders to the "Bangbang", but at the moment of the urgency of the war, they also had to personally go down to supervise the battle and command, in order to reverse the increasingly embarrassing results brought about by the previous "flooding" attack.

The Overseers will wear EGO equipment stored in the major branches of the city, although the overall quality is not on the same level as the products of the headquarters, and these overseers generally lack combat training from civilian personnel, but the accumulation of small amounts, coupled with the protection of countless "Bangbangs" around them, also makes it quite difficult to eliminate them.

"Attention Guards! Block the entrance and exit of the side corridor ahead! Don't let them fire inside! ”

"Yes!"

At the sound of the order, the group of horses quickly maneuvered towards the corridors in all directions, and when I actually came to the grenade firing area, I immediately came into contact with the "Bang Bang" who were also charging - the soldiers with guns and explosives did not seem to have expected our exaggerated maneuver speed, and they had no time to react before they were killed by the swords of the rushing guard regiment after only a few chaotic gunshots.

However, when we were ready to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, we would further expand the results. As if the other party had expected it, just after we revealed our true identity in a fight, the rear firepower team that was waiting for the rabbit immediately released a more dense rain of bullets, pressing back our attack, and they did not seem to be in a hurry to advance and assault, but stood in the wide corridor, with continuous firepower to continue to block the passage of the corridor, they seemed to have already made up their minds - this is the way we must go.

"Bang bang bang!!" As expected, the other offensive directions were similarly blocked, a large number of passages turned into death traps whistling with countless bullets, and not only the civilian comrades were struggling, but the fighters of the guard were surrounded and divided by such a strategy, and fell into an extremely dangerous situation. All this is by no means just the ingenuity of a commander, but the result of the unified dispatch of a large number of troops. Faced with a rapidly deteriorating situation, I had to find another way to have a chance of escaping.

"Listen to me!" I ordered in a loud voice: "The rear troops quickly assemble at the front!" The troops at the front are moving closer to me! ”

"Don't panic later, everything is under my command!"

"Yes!"

"Technician?!"

"Here! Prepare to overload the functional equipment of the entire corridor and activate the fire fighting facilities! Listen to me later! ”

"Yes!"

"Everyone run as soon as I give the order, run in a straight line along this corridor, pay attention to the distance between them, and don't stop no matter what! Do you get it? ”

"Understood!"

I looked nervously at the high-speed bullet rain around me that flashed with fire, and faced the soldiers who were already approaching me:

"It's up to us to fight our way through now." I said heavily.

"Hmm." They seemed to understand what was going to happen next, but there was no hint of timidity or flinching on everyone's face, which strengthened my resolve even more—

"We will never leave a single life behind."

"It's now!!"

"Bang ——!" At the sound of an order, the technicians who had been ready immediately cut off the signals of the major control centers in the corridor, and all the surrounding lines and cables were severely damaged and overloaded in an instant, and the electric lights were also damaged at the same time, and the entire space was immediately plunged into darkness.

"What's the situation?!" The sudden change immediately made the overseers a little confused, and at this time, the fire protection system was immediately activated at maximum power - clumps of pale plastic foam immediately seeped out from the cracks in the wall, and began to gather and solidify the moment they came into contact with the air, almost in the blink of an eye, forming a suffocating plastic wall of nearly one meter thick, burying some enemies who would have time to evacuate in the future; The chemical blowers also began to rapidly pull out of the air, putting the crowd trapped within the White Wall blockade in a near-suffocation danger - while they were partially wounded, they also slightly blocked the enemy's view and dispersed the pre-set formation. For the R&D team, even though they were quite confident in their firepower, they still had to be distracted to deal with such an unexpected situation - which also provided a valuable respite for our evacuation.

"Guards, follow me to block the corridor now!"

"The others immediately move to the end of the hallway!"

At the sound of the order, I immediately led the group of soldiers to rush to the corridors connected by the road ahead. And with the slight "night vision" function given by the EGO, he began to do his best to send battle guidance to the comrades around him, and after confirming a corridor at the beginning, he immediately warned his comrades behind him:

"There are still thirty seconds left for the emergency lighting to start, and the action is fast!"

"Bang bang bang!" As expected, there were already some corridors ahead that took the lead in breaking through the blockade of the plastic wall, trying to continue Fang Cai's lethal firepower - "Comrade, look here! I commanded, and immediately rushed in the direction of the spark-[DATA EXPUNGED] clamps would allow me to withstand their fire for a short time, and I had to contain them before they were completely clear!

"Whew!!" As soon as I rushed into enemy formation, I shook off the EGO in my hand with all my might, turning it into a tenacious and deadly blood whip, slashing, slicing, corroding, and shattering the crowd of heavily loaded enemies in front of me, but this risky move undoubtedly provoked a fierce counterattack from the attacking survivors - several piercing grenades fired at me in an instant, piercing my right shoulder, injuring the [DATA EXPUNGED] pliers in my hand, and one exploded around me, blowing off the EGO covering the outside of my right leg, revealing bright red flesh.

But for now, I can't care about these details, so I immediately let out a loud shout, set up blood pincers and launched a second charge against the enemy - "It's over!!" "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and I must not back down!

"Bang bang bang! -- When—Boom!! "Facing the firepower of several large-caliber guns, I rushed straight into the enemy battle formation like a legendary demon, and the EGO in my hand was like the claws of a vicious beast, and a pair of pincers stunned, cut off, and tore apart the cold-blooded enemies of the machine.

"Poof!! Just as I was about to completely clear the enemy in this area, a powerful rocket suddenly exploded around me, instantly shattering the fireproof plastic wall, and the remaining high temperature and violent shock wave, accompanied by high-speed scattered debris, blasted straight towards my front door, and immediately shook the unsuspecting me for several meters, and smashed to the ground with a rolling belt, almost unconscious.

"Damn it......," I said groggily, but looking at the group of enemies in front of me, who were loading their guns and approaching, how helpless and helpless my weak body was at the moment...... But I'm not going to give up, I have to...... Stand up again......

"Teacher Marx is here!!" At this moment, the exclamations of the comrades of the guard suddenly came from behind them, and as soon as they came into contact with the enemy, they rushed straight towards the enemy who was advancing towards us step by step, and in an instant the sound of slashing, firing, explosions, and screams resounded. The bloody and heroic scenes in front of me stimulated my nerves all the time, driving me to get up and fight again.

It's just that the battle ended more quickly than I expected, and after paying the sacrifices of the five martyrs of the guard, the enemy in front of me was slaughtered one after another, and finally a region was temporarily stabilized.

"Teacher...... Teacher, you have to hold on! As soon as the battle ended, a group of comrades-in-arms immediately came to check on my condition with panicked expressions, especially after seeing my bloody cheeks and scarred body, their voices immediately turned into a cry full of worry and fear, or the battle-experienced Eugenie was calm and calm enough, she immediately ordered the surrounding medical staff - "You must save him, do whatever it takes!" She demanded in an extremely hurried, almost commanding tone, a rare look of horror and panic on her face.

"Yes...... Secretary, if you don't say it, I will definitely keep Mr. Marx! The medical attendant replied quickly but firmly, and immediately prepared a nanotherapy kit to treat my wounds.

But I knew that my injuries were not enough to save my life, and that there were other soldiers around me who needed it ...... same "Ou...... Eugenie ...... "I thought to myself, and reached out my right hand tremblingly, ready to ask Eugenie, "I still ......"

"I'm ......!" Before the words fell, Eugenie immediately stepped forward and gently covered my mouth: "I know what you have to say, I ...... I understand. But ......," she said, looking solemnly at the almost severed left leg, as if with great determination:

"This time...... Just let me be willful, please. ”

"I'm ......!" In an instant, my body felt as if I had been electrocuted, and I was frozen to the ground, my brain was blank, and I lay flat at a loss, obediently accepting the treatment as he wished.

In terms of common sense, the process of nanotherapy is quite fast, but in the face of the continuous sounds of fighting, screaming, running, and crying in the ears, the flow of time seems to gradually come to a standstill, just like this evacuation operation that seems to never see the end, sacrifices are being made all the time, heroic feats everywhere, and the endless offensive of the R&D department...... It seems that with each step forward, the road beneath your feet becomes narrower and the hope of survival becomes more and more slim. I can't deny my desire to survive, but surviving is by no means the only and absolute pursuit of a person, even if the road ahead is bleak, I must continue to work with all the comrades around me...... Go on strongly!

As the nanobots continued to inject, flow, differentiate, and fuse, my calf gradually regained sensation, and the sharp pain of the wound continued to subside——! "As soon as I felt my body heal, I immediately got up from the ground, lifted the [DATA EXPUNGED] pliers and was about to rush out of the corridor and join the breakthrough battle again, which may be a little sorry for the comrades who treated me behind me...... And Eugenie, but no matter what, I must not hide behind the crowd – even at the cost of my life.

"Bang - Bang ——!" Even though the firefighting tactics succeeded in creating a short-lived and valuable fighter for the team, the huge disparity between the enemy and the enemy could not be changed, and the soldiers of the guard did their best, and after paying the price of nearly half of their comrades' deaths, they finally reluctantly escorted the technicians, medical personnel, and other civilian commissioners out of this corridor area that was extending in all directions and full of dangers. But we are still separated from our true destination by a wide and long corridor - a place of death that is unsafe to defend, but without passing through it, we cannot get a real respite. Under the pressure of the R&D department's successive reinforcements, the rapid breakthrough of obstacles, and the increasingly fierce artillery fire, we had no choice.

"Loki, do they have any news?"

"Not yet...... Not yet. The correspondent, sweating profusely, reported: "They have completely cut off our communications. ”

"Is that so......" I frowned, and while looking around at the enemy, I said cautiously, "It's not good...... Even if they can come for reinforcements, they may not be able to find us. ”

"That'...... Then we ......" The correspondent next to him immediately flashed a look of horror on his face, but looking at the calm faces of me and the committee members, he swallowed his words back and waited for the decision we were preparing later.

"Now that (AI) Angela has completely seized the authority of this area, there is no way." The technician reported to us with great regret.

"yes......" I sighed, "I really can't help it." ”

After hearing this, the committee members also had gloomy faces and began to rack their brains to think about the other side:

"We can be bait to lure them away."

"Now that there is an urgent shortage of technicians and soldiers, you should stay alive and be covered by us old fellows who are full of oil."

"Leave us a ......"

"That's it!" I decisively stopped their gossip, "The guards charge forward, you evacuate with the rest!" In times of crisis, without your command and dispatch, the organization will soon become a mess. I commanded in an extremely calm tone: "Now live one more person, and organize everyone at once!" ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the surroundings were suddenly silent, and everyone knew its weight, but in this desperate situation, this may be the best way to deal with it...... The correspondents and committee members immediately began to assemble the scattered fighters and rearrange the already scattered ranks, with the wounded and the impaired in front and the young and middle-aged in the rear, rushing to the passage with all their might, one after the other, as if there was no end in sight.

At the same time, the remaining guards have also completed the final assembly - even if they have suffered heavy casualties, even if they are covered in bruises, dull blades, and disadvantaged in all directions, it is even difficult to find an area where they can ambush. But in the face of the heavily loaded and menacing enemy, as well as the relentless bullets pouring down like a torrential rain, they did not show the slightest flinch, and went forward and regarded death as home!

Just because behind them are the lives of their dear comrades-in-arms, and the lights of thousands of homes that can never be returned!

"Everyone...... Resist with me!! "I did my best to set up the [DATA EXPUNGED] pliers, and did my best to intercept the barrage of bullets that were shooting behind me - one more bullet stuck in the blood-pincer tissue would burn a lethal weapon that harvested life!

"Woo woo - bang bang bang!!"

But as the enemy army gradually dredged, integrated, and assembled, the output firepower became more and more intense and dense, and it was difficult to parry, and the soldiers around me finally began to be wounded and killed one after another like mowing grass, and I was naturally "taken care of" by the enemy, and even more unreasonably poured ammunition on me - "Bang!! Finally, with an unusually dangerous mistake, he lost his body and collided with a rocket flying at high speed. Although it didn't explode directly, the force of the impact still caused an unusually strong concussion to my head, and I almost passed out on the spot.

"Teacher Marx!" A look of horror immediately appeared on Eugenie's face: "I'm here to save ......!" ”

"Bang!!" Suddenly, a violent explosion from a volley of rockets interrupted her movements, and the soldiers around her were like pieces of paper, swept away and torn apart by the high-temperature and deadly blast blast wave.

But in the face of the incomparably desperate scene in front of me, it became a luxury for me to even stay awake at this moment, and the incendiary bombs with brilliant golden flame tails whizzed through the edge of my eyes, and all I saw was the innocent lives that were about to be harvested by them......

......Suddenly, my physical strength could not support my sentimental spirit, and my eyes went black and I fell unconscious.
