"Elizabeth City is under attack, please all personnel to prepare for battle immediately!"

Upon hearing the broadcast and alarm, the civilian soldiers who were also walking on the stairs suddenly became solemn and hurried towards their respective offices at a faster pace.

Nova, wearing the Hostile Environment Suit (HES) and holding a customized sniper rifle, also silently accelerated her pace to leave here.

Nova rushed outside the building and came to the street inside the base, listening to the still piercing alarm and observing her surroundings.

I saw the recruits throwing down their heavy training tools and running towards the equipment warehouses belonging to their respective companies.

There were already many assault boats on the other side of the airport, carrying heavily armed airborne troops sitting on both sides of the cabin with their legs stretched out of the cabin. They quickly took off and flew towards Elizabeth City in the southeast direction.

Accompanying the flight are medium-sized attack boats that look like armed helicopters without propeller wings, but can only sail within the atmosphere.

Followed by several Pelicans.

As for the large transport boats that can accommodate more soldiers, start the engine and be on standby.

After all, it was the rapid reaction force that took off first. They were ready as soon as the alarm sounded and took off directly on the vehicle.

At this moment, Nova put the sniper rifle on her back, walked through the emergency base, and ran towards the airport to the west.

And use a communication channel that cannot be detected by the UNSC to directly contact the Red Queen:

"Employee number

Finished.

Nova, whose physical fitness had improved due to HES, had already rushed to the west airport and approached a large transport boat with its tail hatch opened.

With a light jump, he landed silently on the top of the transport boat.

In the communication at this time, there was also a reply from the Red Queen:

"According to surveillance cameras and reports from local employees, it can be learned that a large number of abnormal animal-like creatures that are hostile to humans and all living things have emerged from the sea and are wreaking havoc in Elizabeth City.

Currently, it is handled by the UNSC's 9th Airborne Division, 78th and 103rd Infantry Divisions and the 2nd Fleet.

As for the company, the Blood and Tears are rushing to the skies above Elizabeth City. If the UNSC is unable to respond, the Blood and Tears will directly intervene.

Employee X018, your mission has been updated to enter Elizabeth City and secretly assist our employees in assessing the threat level of this anomaly.

At the same time, get as close to the beach as possible to investigate the source of the unusual creatures."

"X018 received." Nova responded softly.

End the conversation.

The last few airborne soldiers wearing fully sealed individual equipment, painted in desert colors, and holding pulse firearms also entered the cabin at Nova's feet.

The hatch is closed.

The large transport boat rose steadily to a height of about fifty meters above the ground, adjusted its direction, and then accelerated toward Elizabeth City.

Nova, who is half-crouching on the top of the transport boat, does not have to worry about the possibility of being thrown off. After all, HES is the best sneaking equipment in Umbrella and has an excellent magnetic adsorption function.

And this time, a large number of transport boats, Pelicans, assault boats and attack boats left the base.

The first batch of main flight formations of the 9th Airborne Division moved quickly across the African continent at low altitude.

But the soldiers sitting in the cabin had no intention of admiring the outside scenery. They all had heavy hearts.

With an average age of around 20, their childhood was in the transitional period when UEG and UNSC were just established.

At that time, there were always reports and discussions about "war" and "famine" in the news and on the Internet, but after 2010, they became less and less common, until they were rare.

Especially war.

This group of recruits, who come from all over the world and even the entire solar system, have experienced the most peaceful and stable rapid development stage of mankind from being able to remember, go to school, graduate, and then join the army.

And there are many reasons why they join the army.

For example, influenced by science fiction movies, comics and games, coupled with cool equipment, you sign up to join the army out of passion.

There are also those who do it purely for money, or simply because they can travel the universe with the fleet "for free", and finally come to the base of the 9th Airborne Division for training.

No matter what the reason is, after joining the army, I have a unified belief——

Obey orders and protect humanity.

Now.

After the recruits learned through the helmet screen that the person who attacked Elizabeth was not a human, but a "beast body" with gray skin, sharp claws and fangs, and a size far larger than that of a tiger...

It is impossible not to say that I am nervous, and I am also confused about what these beasts are.

alien?

Or a monster?

But they train hard and are equipped with advanced weapons and armor "converted" from tax dollars, isn't it just for now?

As for Nova, who can sense the emotions of the recruits, she had made similar preparations more than ten years ago.

Less than half a minute after the flight formation left the base, Elizabeth City, billowing smoke, and the vast ocean appeared in her field of vision.

When the flight formation was about to approach the city, she closed her eyes slightly and quickly expanded the range of her psychic abilities.

The first emotional feedback people feel is the panic, anxiety caused by the beast attack and the grief when they lose their loved ones.

However, this is mixed with "peace of mind".

It seems that the police and the quick response force that arrived first gave the citizens a sufficient sense of security.

On the animal side, Nova only felt killing and no other emotions.

She believes that the beast body is not a naturally occurring abnormal creature at all, but more like a deliberately "programmed" creature with simple thinking...

Biological weapons?

Nova, who came up with this guess, stopped releasing amplification actions that consumed her physical strength and energy too much.

Open your eyes.

It was discovered that the flight formation had entered the sky above the city, and the formation was divided into more than ten groups to rush to various parts of the city.

The transport boat she regarded as a "hitchhiker" arrived in the city center with two Pelicans, as well as more than a dozen assault boats and attack boats.

The transport boat and the Pelican slowed down and hovered over the widest main road in the city center, preparing to land on the ground.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The more flexible assault boats landed on the roofs of buildings on both sides of the main road, unloading small groups of airborne troops to occupy the high ground.

The attack boat, which also dropped in height, maintained a height of a hundred meters above the ground, dumping ammunition toward the piles of running beasts to the south of the street.

"Boom—! Boom—!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

In an instant, there were explosions and gunshots.

Nova stood up and looked forward.

The beasts' bodies exploded in batches, completely unable to withstand the pulse guns of various calibers, and dark blue blood suddenly spattered everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Nova tentatively rated the threat level of the beast as low.

Immediately afterwards, she saw that the transport boat was about to touch the ground, so she landed early with a light jump and disappeared into the alley.

After the transport boat completed its landing, after opening the tail hatch...

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Build a defense line! Soldiers! Remember your past training and kill those bastards back to their hometown!"

"Sir! Yes! Sir!"

A company of airborne troops poured out of the cabin, built a temporary defense line on the street, and fired caseless pulse bombs of various calibers toward the tidal wave of beasts.

The two Pelicans that landed not far behind also unloaded two combat platoons.

The airborne troops, numbering close to 200 in total, cooperated with the attack boats and several teams occupying the roof of the building, instantly creating an absolute superiority of fire suppression.

But just as Nova had guessed before, the beast bodies seemed to be biological weapons. As long as their bodies were not completely destroyed, they would not stop attacking.

There was an animal whose back half had been blown to pieces by a machine gun. It still used the two claws of its front body to hold the ground, dragging its dark blue intestines, and continued to try to get closer to the airborne troops in front of its field of vision.

Even so, the beast did not make any screams.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

It wasn't until several more shellless pulse rounds were fired that the only remaining front half of its body was destroyed, that the beast really stopped.

However, the "unfortunate" thing is that even if the beasts no longer care about their own casualties, facing the main force of the 9th Airborne Division, their numbers are declining at an extremely fast rate.

Otherwise, Nova would temporarily classify the threat level of the beast as low.

"Everyone!" Seeing this situation, a second lieutenant with red shoulder armor waved his hand and shouted an order:

"Follow me to counterattack! Get Elizabeth back for the common people from the stinking mouths of those bastards!"

"yes!"

The airborne troops with high morale shouted in response and began to advance in the south direction, aiming to expel all the beasts from the city.
