Chapter 1: Memoria

【qi~xu~】

The dull sound of the hydraulic pump opening and closing was like thunder, resounding over the ruins.

This is the twenty-second year after the collapse of the New Testament, and the mechanical tentacles flying above the sky are constantly watching for any living things that may appear on the ground.

In the world dominated by the copper jade clan, even if there is a long rainbow in the sky, it is a dying sun, shining on the Downton Technology Building that is enough to cover the sky without the slightest warmth, everywhere is the cold copper jade machinery, everywhere is the intertwined equipment "waste limbs", everywhere, is cold and ruthless.

In the thirty-second year since the end of the war, in a future ruled by high-end machines, humanity has become smaller and more vulnerable.

【qi~xu~】

The powerful hydraulic pumps made an astonishing sound, and they were constantly completing the programming that the Bronze Jade Clan had written on their Copper Jade Lines.

Over there, the squeeze tightens the last bolt grip that produced the [Patrol Guard T-122], allowing the latest Patrol Guard model to shoot a series of lasers, giving it a lethal weapon capable of killing the Betrayer.

Without weapons, the T-122 can only be a patrol robot, but with weapons, the T-122 can be used as a land guard to defend the area around Downton Tech.

The skies, guarded by the original "guards", come in a variety of sizes, but all have one thing in common: their nimble brachiopods and feet, flying through the sky like octopuses, casting their tentacle shadows into the gaps that might hide the betrayer.

Humanity, as they are called, betrayers.

War, the New Testament war that makes all spiritual power disappear, makes them lose their loved ones, lose their friends, and lose their homes.

The more they are called traitors, the more countless human warriors who have come and gone before them have fought against them, and on this wasteland, they desperately want to build a future home for humanity.

And they must survive the oppression of the powerful copper jade technology.

"Recruits! Be vigilant! Don't get distracted! ”

An officer in sunglasses hid behind the wreckage of the covered apparatus, and the sound from his pager was loud and clear to my headset.

"Yes! Sir! ”

I quickly clicked the button on my arm, clicked from the light curtain, and the laser gun immediately condensed from my mechanical arm, I held the laser gun in my arms, pressed my finger on the trigger, and quickly glanced around.

Except for the rats that are still stealing their lives, everything is normal.

β€œ2533! 2658! Follow me! ”

The Commander was deploying his troops, and I stared at the severed arm wreckage of the "floating things", and my thoughts were filled with thoughts.

The Bronze Jade Clan, who kills people without blinking, is already a monster that controls the sky, these monsters use extremely terrifying weapons to decompose people, I heard that before that war, all people can use an unknown power called spiritual power, go to heaven and earth, and do anything, The Copper Jade Clan is completely a threat.

But that's just a legend, the war killed too many people, and the survivors rallied to defend their homes scattered around the world with the guns of the Bronze Jade Clan. And I, as a "betrayer" of the human alliance called by the Tongyu Clan, am a member of this defense of the human homeland.

I don't know where I came from, I don't know my name, I am a guard, and I only have the number when I enlisted: Ξ±17503038.

On the same team as me, there were 1003 captains, 2533 technical intelligence officers, 2658 submachine guns, 2996 female snipers, 2008 logistics technicians, and 3038 myself.

A six-person guerrilla team is quietly infiltrating the forward position [Yujiang Tower] in the [Rastar] area, which is the processing plant that produces the new guard robot T-122, and Captain 1003 received an order to destroy the [light source core] of Yujiang Tower as a vanguard team, so that Yujiang Tower temporarily lost control and seized the design of T-122.

This is a strategic surprise mission, and before the Bronze Jade Guards are aware of it, we must complete our objectives and retreat before reinforcements arrive.

I, it's 3038, and actually my real number is Ξ±17503038.

I am the 17,530,000 and 38th [Transhuman], and I am loaded with the [Light Source Core] in my body, and I am called the [Betrayer] by the Bronze Jade Clan.

I am, the one hundred and seventy five thousand three thousand thirty-eight betrayers.

It was my first time on a mission, and I remembered everyone in the squad clearly, calling me a recruit, not a number. Perhaps for others, only doing something worthy of a great achievement can be remembered and numbered.

Their original companion was a man named 2009, the exact number I don't know, but 2009 was a very good stormtrooper, and he was on the Pioneer list.

Everyone felt that he had died a well-deserved death, that he had completed his glorious life, and that he had given his life for all the remaining human beings, and what a thing to boast about.

And I, a recruit, have not yet decided that I can do something to boast about, if this raid is one thing.

"2008, Report Location!" The captain's voice remembered again.

"Yes! Captain! Logistics Technician 2008 replied, reporting to the screen where we were, including, of course, the damned Bronze Jade Clan.

"3038 is at the left side of the door on the first floor of the Yujiang Tower, there is a gate in and out on his right, there are three [hounds] guarding, and three squid are hiding in the ambush on the inside of the door, this is the weakest door at the moment. After entering, you can take the freight elevator on the left side to the 32nd central control room, and the third information station of the central control room stores the data and design drawings of T-122. ”

"And then?"

"If you can't get it directly by freight elevator, then you have to go to the central escalator of Yujiang Tower, layer by layer. This is a very dangerous act, Yujiang Tower has a total of thirty-three floors, and the troops arranged in it are definitely not a joke. ”

"What else?"

"If nothing else, I'll hack their patrol system as much as possible, and you'll have three to ten seconds to get into the freight elevator, and if something happens, we'll have to fight a tough battle."

"What else?"

The captain kept saying that there was still something, and I had no idea what else was "there", after all, for me, the two "hounds" and "squid" were definitely not my opponents. Besides, 2008 has made it very clear, I only need to get to the central control room on the 32nd floor, so it is not difficult to get the blueprints at all.

As a logistician, 2008 only needs to show us the route to achieve the goal, as long as the goal she said is completed, then it will be successful.

"What else? Captain? "2008 was puzzled.

The captain's voice exploded in the headset.

"What else? Don't you know?! ”

I was a little surprised that there was something that needed special attention and that the logistics staff didn't bring up. In my impression, 2008 is a short-haired young woman with strong hacking ability, who can hack the control center of the Copper Jade Clan in a short period of time, causing a temporary loophole or confusion in the calculation of the Copper Jade Clan, giving the charging team a way to retreat. is a very trustworthy companion to give her back.

"Captain, 2008 is too tired, you should be considerate."

I heard the voice of female sniper 2996, who was lurking on the high ground away from the Yujiang Tower, covering us with high-frequency sniper fire, and her goggles were already equipped with a sniper rifle that was the most advanced firearm. Able to thermally perceive our location with the enemy and carry out ultra-long-range strikes, her energy core is also the most expensive of the new cores, which can carry the powerful wear and tear of the most powerful guns.

In any case, her position must not be revealed, as the core of light required to train such a sniper is staggering.

She is also our only savior.

If we had an ambush encounter, each of her bullets would have taken out an exposed enemy and protected us.

2996 was cold, but probably just cold to me, I only spoke to her once, I asked her number, she answered me, and she never answered my question again.

I don't know why she did this, but I think it's only reasonable that a powerful sniper won't want to see me, after all, in the days to come, I'm bound to make some pointless mistakes when I join this team, innocently consuming her expensive new core energy.

I think this is also inevitable, so I can only forge ahead, and in this raid, nothing will go wrong.

"Yes, yes." The little intelligence officer 2533 responded and said: "As soon as 2008 came back from the headquarters, he drove directly to the front to conduct a raid to detect people, and it is normal to be rough at all."

2533 is a short man, but he gives me the impression of being very mature and by no means childish as his baby-faced one. As an intelligence officer, he needs to be responsible for getting the blueprints, and like 2008, he is a technician, but 2533 has a lighter skill and has joined the front line, and in this raid mission, his task is very important, and it is also the object we must cover.

Only his light source core has an information admission function.

2658, who didn't speak, was a stormtrooper like me, a very shy man, and I didn't talk much to him, the only thing I remember was that he once told me a little story, and he didn't talk again.

This time, I heard his hum, he was near me, and we would be with the captain, covering 2533 and accompanying him up and down.

The raid mission is to take advantage of the unpreparedness, attack in a short time, achieve the goal, and then retreat.

Avoid the most head-on encounters without losing the number of hostile encounters.

Suddenly, the captain shouted a loud shout.

"All teammates! Be vigilant! ”

His voice was extremely serious, and he didn't continue to ask what 2008 was going to say, but said something else.

"There's news from HQ that in the next hour, HQ will send reinforcements from the 3rd Coalition Army to cover our retreat, all teammates, we must get the blueprints within an hour. Now, Detachment 59! Listen to orders! ”

"Yes! Captain! ”

They all spoke in unison, because they were originally a team, and when they heard the captain's order, their answers were naturally quick.

And me.

"Recruits! Listen to orders! ”

The captain deliberately called me, and with a gun, he had no choice but to respond to him.

"Yes! Captain! ”

I don't know what their expressions are now, but as a soldier, this kind of deliberate pointing out is like a "special snubbing", and the captain has made it clear to me more than once.

In their eyes, I was just a lost soul, not a soldier who obeyed orders.

I guess they're scared right now, having me in the ranks, a recruit, a guy who doesn't seem willing to obey orders.

If you delay a major event, you will be guilty of a great crime.

"Cheer up! Recruit! You're on the battlefield! Not training! ”

The captain reminded me, and I had to respond loudly to show my intentions. I pulled my throat, but my voice answered steadily.

"Yes! Captain! ”

"All members of the 59th Detachment! Listen to orders! ”

"Yes! Captain! ”

All the people seemed to be listening loudly with me.

"Yujiang Tower Raid Mission! Start now, goal! T-122 blueprint! ”

The captain's voice was so resolute that the breath in my chest was boiling, it was my first mission, I had to give it my all, and I had a hunch that I could do better in the face of doubts and "isolation" from my teammates.

I will! Exceeded their expectations.

【qi~xu~】The sound of the hydraulic pump deflating pulled me back to reality, and the most memorable moment in my memory came back to my mind.

"I'm fighting hard, attracting firepower, covering the 2533 recording blueprints, hounds, squid, but it's just the soul of my gun, it's absolutely impossible for these secondary copper jade creatures to stop the three of us."

I looked at her.

She was dressed in a black robe.

I saw her face under the hood, and I was amazed by the beauty of that face, I had never seen such a beautiful person, with long white hair flowing from the hood, and cherry-red lips as hot as fire.

She comes from the upper echelons of Rastar, and is the opposite of the betrayer, and I can feel a certain aristocratic temperament in her.

That kind of contempt for the lowly betrayer.

The human beings who have reconciled with the Tongyu clan are living proudly in the "cage" created by the Tongyu clan, despising them without knowing it.

We tried to save them, but they were the first to do what we despicable. Symbiosis with the Tongyu clan.

They have obtained too many new light source cores, and they have mastered too many new weapons given by the Bronze Jade Clan.

"It was the first time I learned about your existence during my first raid. Peaceful coexistence with the Tongyu Clan, brute. ”

"You are the real traitors."

I snorted, and the words were out, and I couldn't help but write my contempt on my face.

She didn't get angry, but looked at me quietly.

As [nobles], they are naturally this virtue, they think they are noble, they think they are great, but they are the most cruel and cold-blooded.

They, as they should be, betrayers.

I heard her voice, very soft, very soft.

"Jack...... Do you really, not remember me? ”

She spoke words I'd never heard before.

If she hadn't put her soft palm on my face, I must have thought she was saying something weird instead of shouting at me.

I shook off her hand, but I couldn't do anything.
