Northern Line.
In the endless clear sky, a majestic steel airship is breaking through the clouds, revealing the bridge pod suspended below the bow of the ship.
Looking down at the sunken wasteland and the stacked mountains, Captain Liam, who was sitting in the bridge, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Throwing the ice cream stick to the waiter standing aside, he stood up with his hands on the armrests of the chair, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, and squinted his eyes to look down at the Shifeng Mountain, which was nearby Chichi.
Eighty Mile Bone Road?
ridiculous.
On their territory, an opponent of this level is just a matter of bombing and charging.
If it's not enough, repeat the process again.
It may not be easy to deal with the increasing number of slime molds, but it is more than enough to deal with mutants.
"...It's too slow. If we wait for a group of snails to push forward bit by bit, I'm afraid this battle will have to last until next year. I think it's better to just cross the Shifeng Mountain and destroy the lair of those cultists in one fell swoop."
After hearing the commander's words, the adjutant standing behind Liam coughed lightly and quickly reminded him, "General, it's better that we don't break away from the main force."
Liam chuckled. "With just these mutants, can they still capture our airship?"
This is not a foolhardy decision. No matter what high technology the torch uses, the mutants on this mountain need food and ammunition, and these things have to be sent from the Maritime Province.
As long as we can cut off these guys' logistical supplies, most of them will starve to death just from hunger.
The adjutant understood what he meant, but still cautioned.
"Previously, the alliance encountered a group of flying mutants in Jinhe City, which they called bat-winged people. Even under the cover of the plane, they were still logged into the airship by the bat-winged people, and even got into a bitter battle because of this.
"
"Heh, don't these fools know how to use radar?" Liam curled his lips in disdain, with a dismissive look on his face, but he was a little more vigilant in his heart and no longer mentioned the matter of driving an airship directly over the Shifeng Mountain.
Son.
He knew that the Alliance would definitely activate the radar, but in this world as long as there is a spear, there is a shield. There are many ways to lock the target, and there are also many ways to counter the radar.
The Torch people came out of Vault 117 and have been developing for a long time. They are good at biotechnology, but they don't only understand biotechnology.
After returning to the chair and sitting down, Liam looked at the adjutant next to him and ordered. "Inform General Modlin of the 310,000th Team and tell him that he has arrived at the station and let his people gather in the pod."
The adjutant looked solemn, stood at attention and gave a military salute.
"yes!"
To the north of the Weifu military base, the anchor chain thrown from the Loyalty airship hit the ground heavily, sending up billowing dust.
Immediately afterwards, a pod was lowered from the belly of the airship, and like a swing falling from the sky, it slowly lowered to the ground.
About a hundred tall Wilant soldiers with swollen noses lined up in a neat queue and walked out of the pod the size of a heavy truck.
They wore uniform gray and black military uniforms, matte steel helmets on their heads, all automatic weapons on their backs, and bulletproof plates on their chests. Among them were firemen carrying ammunition boxes and machine guns, and even
Equipped with a fully protected exoskeleton.
Compared to the guys that players have seen in the desert before, these guys are undoubtedly much more elite. Next to the military base, Debt Big Eyes and the construction site boy and Brick looked at these guys from a distance.
When they saw the exoskeleton of the Weiland man, the construction site boy and Brick opened their eyes in surprise.
"These Vaillants also have exoskeletons?"
Debt Daeye was also surprised, but felt that it was a bit of a loss to make a fuss like the strength beast next to him, so he analyzed it rationally.
"It's not surprising, right? Boulder City has that stuff, and even has self-produced and self-developed prosthetics. After all, the Legion is one of the three major forces in the wasteland, so it's not like they can't even build exoskeletons.
.”
The boy at the construction site scratched his head with Brick.
"I'm just wondering... why we haven't met before."
Debt Big Eyes: "e...Maybe it was all destroyed during the battle with Great Rift Valley?"
Of course, faction support and local logistics efficiency are also issues.
At that time, the legion's eastward expansion faction was already at the end of its tether, and the frontal battlefield had to be handed over to the servant army and clone troops, and ammunition was almost out of stock. Things like exoskeletons were naturally considered a luxury for them.
If it were not for the supply interruption problem, they would not have been so eager to march into the River Valley Province at that time, looking for a settlement like Boulder City that could help them solve their logistics and equipment problems.
Of course, a more reasonable explanation is that most players had just left the Novice Village at that time.
Under such circumstances, to control a dozen airships and a group of fully-dressed bosses, the dog planner is somewhat inappropriate.
Just as Big Eye and the construction site boss were sizing up the regular troops of the legendary Eastern Legion, another train was coming from far away from the north.
This train has thirty-two carriages, and the people in the carriages are an unusually mixed crowd.
Among them are people from the academy, people from companies, and even the expeditionary force of the Xilan Empire.
In particular, the latter had the largest number, and thirty of the thirty-two carriages were filled with them.
Although the Xilan Empire had an undeclared war with the Alliance not long ago and had not even signed a ceasefire agreement, as a member of the Sticky Community, the emperor of Xilan still generously sent out 30,000 soldiers with a wave of his hand.
people.
Of course, this is not for the sake of the common destiny of human civilization, but entirely for the sake of the Weirant people. After all, compared to the death of some insignificant inferior people, of course, the everlasting friendship is more important
important.
In the car at the end of the train, the first half of the car was occupied by a group of guys wearing exoskeletons, tactical helmets and gas masks.
Their bodies exuded an aura that kept strangers away from them, and they sat motionless in the carriage.
Sitting in the second half of the carriage is the Enterprise's Seventh Air Force.
Their carriage was originally in the front, but they were squeezed in here by the guys from Borneo.
I don’t know if the commander of the Xilan Empire Expeditionary Force took the wrong medicine and insisted on cramming 200 people into a carriage full of 118 people.
The result was like this. Chewing gum in his mouth, the pilot sitting in the back row glanced at the comrade next to him and lowered his voice and complained softly.
"I guess they are androids... and not very smart ones. As we all know, the androids in the academy are the most boring guys in this wasteland, just as boring as their researchers."
The comrade smiled and was about to say something teasing. The officer, who was sitting nearby with his eyes closed and concentrating, glanced at the two restless guys, closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Task Force Alpha, they are not androids, but real special forces, hunters in the swamp. The academy has equipped them with almost all the prosthetics imaginable, and the average prosthetic rate per capita is over 30%. .More than that, almost all of them are awakened ones. Although they are awakened by drugs... don't underestimate them."
When several pilots heard this, they had expressions of surprise on their faces, but they were not surprised because of their conversion rates or their status as special forces.
"Drug Awakening?"
"How could anyone use that thing?"
At least in the ideal city, awakening is not a good thing, but means losing a lot of fun in life.
The random expression of non-coding genes may not only cause genetic diseases, but more importantly, it may reduce the probability of having offspring.
Although most residents of Ideal City have no interest in having offspring, whether they want to and whether they can are two different things.
You only have one life, and awakening is irreversible. Most people don't dare to joke with their own lives.
After all, if you really pursue strength, just use a prosthetic body or an exoskeleton. There is no need to develop that part of the organism to the extreme.
Opening his eyes and crossing his arms, the officer glanced at the
Pai Pai turned his back to the back of their heads and said with a complicated expression.
"The Science and Technology Committee is a completely different place from the ideal city. Those guys have proven with their actions that high technology does not necessarily mean high living standards, and as long as scientific management methods are used, it will not hinder the majority of people from maintaining a lower standard of living. They build spaceships and can even use limited resources in key places..."
"For ordinary people who are unable to become researchers or even prospectors, joining Task Force Alpha is another way out. At least the equipment and medicines are free, and at the same time, they can improve their lives at home."
The pilot sitting next to him couldn't help but clicked his tongue. He couldn't imagine that kind of life. At least, he joined the Seventh Air Force because he liked flying airplanes.
"What a scary bunch of guys..."
The officer continued to close his eyes and meditate.
To be honest, he had little experience in carrying out bombing and pick-up missions in mountainous terrain, even though the air force base next to the Tianshui tributary was located in a mountainous area.
However, compared to his own safety, what he was more worried about was actually the 100th Mechanized Mountain Division coming from Ideal City.
It seems those guys arrived today as well.
After all, he and his men have fighter jets. The boys heard that many of them were on the battlefield for the first time...
Is it really okay?
What the pilots didn't know was that the guys wearing gas masks were not very smart, they just turned off extra plug-ins and prosthetics to save energy during the march.
Some bionic prostheses require bioelectric current to activate, and the computing power required to drive these prostheses is also a load on the brain and the chip in the brain.
Some wastelanders who cannot control themselves often fall into coma or even go crazy because their computing power exceeds the limit, but this does not happen to the soldiers of Task Force Alpha.
If it is not necessary, they can even keep only the operation of basic body functions and the communication module implanted in the chip, so that metabolism and neural activity are reduced to the lowest level.
Just as the pilots of the enterprise were facing them, they were carefully listening to the captain's instructions on the communication channel.
"Sitting behind you is the Seventh Air Force of the enterprise. Although they are not awakened ones, they have gone through rigorous training and selection. They are also elites selected from tens of millions of people."
"Since the disintegration of the War and Construction Committee, Ideal City has been controlled by the chaebols headed by the Ideal Group. Ordinary people must continue to hone their skills if they want to survive. The hardship is no less than digging potatoes in the swamp. They are just like you. They are trump cards that have been tempered over time...Don't underestimate them, cheer up!"
The majestic voice echoed in the silent place, and everyone wearing gas masks sat upright, responding silently in their minds.
"yes!"
At the same time that troops from legions, companies, and colleges arrived at the front line one after another, the shouts of killing were deafening on Shifeng Mountain, and the sound of gunfire was thick!
Before dawn, a group of goblins sneaked into Fushan's position and launched a surprise attack on the sleeping players.
If it were the time when the server was first launched, this tactic might have actually worked. After all, many players played games part-time and had to go to work after getting up during the day. But now, not to mention the death corps, even some individual players will The focus is on the game.
Basically, the mobile phone and the helmet are never separated from the body. As soon as the pop-up window of "@all members." popped up, one or two people put on the helmet and returned to the line.
The player patrolling with the Death Grasp was the first to discover the attack. Within a minute, two hundred players stationed on the mountain came online collectively. Under the leadership of Edge Paddling, they attacked the Goblin troops that launched the attack.
The enemy will follow his plan.
In just one hour, more than half of the two thousand Goblin troops were killed or injured, and the remaining less than a thousand fled without their armor.
Because the battle was going so smoothly, I paddled around without even calling my brothers who were resting down the mountain to come up for help, and just took care of this bunch of scum by myself.
The only thing that surprises the player is that the "Goblin" is actually him
They gave this group of green-skinned dwarves a nickname. Unexpectedly, these guys actually shouted "Goblin, Goblin" themselves.
Wiping the blood on the engineer's shovel, the drum shampooer grunted with regret.
"That's too careless. If I had known that the dogs were planning on naming us, I should have called them cowards."
Laplace was shocked when he heard this. He didn't have time to wipe the blood on his hands and quickly came up to cover his mouth.
"Damn it, you're going to die calling a dog planner here!"
At midnight, I scratched my head with an umbrella but no knife.
"The problem is, mutants don't look like ogres either."
Don’t you think so, madam? She touched her chin and thought for a moment: “It’s quite similar to cannibalism.”
Carrying an umbrella but not a knife at midnight: "Well, it seems so." He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the goblins today were obviously stronger than yesterday.
Not only is their fighting style more brutal, but they are also more difficult to deal with, and they will even come up with barrels of explosives on their backs. The most incredible thing is that these guys who used to only fight on their own, actually hugged each other this time.
I don’t know if those crazy people used some outrageous black technology.
If they continue to go crazy, I'm afraid the "War in Heaven" will turn into a "Chaos Invasion"...
"Hey guys, it seems to be quite lively at the foot of the mountain." The player who was looking towards the foot of the mountain shouted in surprise.
Just as they were fighting, the Vaillant airship had arrived at the battlefield.
Those big noses even brought a big thing that looks like an "AT-AT Imperial Donkey"! It seems to be called a "Bison"?
Not only the legion, but also colleges and enterprises arrived at the Weifu military base, including their personnel and vehicles!
Seeing the curious expressions on everyone's faces, Edge of Water knew what they were expecting, so he responded with a smile.
"Everyone, just hang on for a while, we'll be rotating soon!"
Laplace pointed to the corpses scattered on the ground next to him and asked: "How are these corpses organized? Buried?"
The soil on this mountain is not easy to dig. The soil under their feet was so frozen that it was as hard as iron.
Although their constitutions are not susceptible to the plague, no one likes to be next to a petri dish of bacteria.
What's more, there are their teammates at the foot of the mountain. Even if they don't think about themselves, they still have to think about those people.
However, this problem is not difficult to solve. I brought an umbrella without a knife at midnight and an idea came to my mind as soon as I rolled my eyes.
"Let Big Eye eat it, his wives are thieves."
"Hahahahahaha!" The drum shampooer, who was wiping his face covered in blood, couldn't help laughing.
The crowd burst into laughter, and even those paddling on the edge couldn't help laughing and gave a thumbs up.
"Your special wife is really a talent!"
At Fushan Military Base, the camp that was empty yesterday was filled with people today.
A total of eight killer whale transport planes were parked on the tarmac, their majestic bodies like whales in the sea.
There were twenty Yun Ting ornithopters next to them, each blade-shaped flexible wing exuding a cold light in the sun.
In addition, there are nearly a hundred silver-white heavy-duty trucks parked neatly on the mining site, like sharp-edged squares!
The logo of Ideal Group is clearly printed on the bumper under the front of the car. It is the company's 100th Mechanized Mountain Division.
They flew directly over the mountainous area in the eastern part of Jinchuan Province via a killer whale transport plane, and deployed in batches in the eastern part of the plain. After gathering, they headed here together.
This is probably the first time a company has sent troops to such a distant battlefield.
It's not just companies showing off their toys. Colleges are too.
In addition to Task Force Alpha, which arrived by train, there were nearly twenty long shuttle-shaped flying vehicles about twenty meters long that landed on the east side of the Weifu military base.
Although those aircraft used plasma engines, judging from the slow landing method, their lift did not seem to be entirely provided by plasma engines, but were equipped with anti-gravity devices similar to scientific research ships and Legion airships.
.
The Alpha Mobile Task Force, armed to the teeth, stepped out of the cabin in unison. As if to show off, they walked around to the north when walking towards the camp, passing between the Enterprise's 100th Mountain Division and the Corps.
...As for the "Hound" special forces of the Bugla Free State, dozens of military trucks were waiting quietly behind the regiment.
Not paying attention to the little thoughts of those people, the debtor Big Eyes and the construction site manager standing next to the military base watching the excitement were dumbfounded and couldn't close their mouths.
Legions, companies, colleges, free states, empires... and a lot of survivor forces that he had never heard of were all gathered here at this moment.
The entire camp was lively like a large-scale military exposition or military parade, with all kinds of strange and strange equipment that dazzled everyone.
The debtor swallowed his saliva.
"Old construction site..."
Boy at the construction site: "What's wrong?"
Debt-eyed: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask if it feels like you're on a military parade?"
The boy at the construction site and Bian were stunned for a moment and then shouted, "Damn! That's really cool when you say that!"
The leader of the Wasteland Alliance is not bad... although this leader's foundation seems to be a bit weak.
But it doesn't matter, as long as their managers are good enough, it will be over.
At this moment, he just wants to shout that the manager is awesome!
At this moment, the two people who were surprised suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar face from the crowd.
"Su Ming?!"
When he heard someone calling his name, Su Ming, who was walking toward the camp, stopped and looked at the two people who stopped him in confusion, but he didn't recognize who it was.
"……do we know each other?"
"I've seen it, I've seen it, hehe, we met once before when we were in Luoxia Province." He walked forward with a smile on his face, patted the friend next to him with his big eyes, and introduced him, "This
This is a construction site, my name is Big Eye."
"Oh! Comrades from that time!" Su Ming suddenly nodded. He was about to complain about the weird names of these two people, but after thinking about it, he felt it was not polite, so he swallowed his words and changed his words with a smile.
He said, "Long time no see, almost a year!"
"Yeah, it's been a year in the blink of an eye!"
Without waiting for the NPC to complain about his name, Liability continued to ask with a big smile.
"By the way, I remember you are not the 26th Commando?"
"Yes," Su Ming nodded and looked at him doubtfully, "Is there any problem?"
The boy at the construction site and Bian stared at him: "Have you been promoted?"
The young man smiled heartily when he heard this and said, "What is my job? I am a non-commissioned officer, a professional sniper. If becoming an instructor counts as a promotion, then maybe it counts as a promotion."
Debt asked, scratching his head.
"But... weren't you a commando before? Are the company's security department and the regular army the same system?"
It's not that he wants to pry for information. The main reason is that it's too strange. It's like a security guard has changed his career to become a regular army, and he is still an instructor.
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Su Ming explained with a smile. "We don't use this kind of statement here. The 100th Mountain Division is actually an expansion of the 26th Commando... I'm not afraid of your jokes. We actually don't have a standing army. Council
The purpose of pulling them out is for us to take them to practice and prepare for the future. There are many new people inside, and I might have to trouble you to help guide them."
After all, he is his ally, so he has nothing to hide when he speaks.
The boy and Brick at the construction site were stunned, their heads still hadn't turned around, and they were tangled up in confusion for a long time.
"But... aren't you the 100th Mountain Division? There are 100, so naturally there are 99, right? How come there is no standing army?"
Su Ming scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.
"Ahem... To be honest, when we first mobilized, we were called 001. Later, our Cloud Team felt it was inappropriate, so they proposed to the council, and then changed it to 100, so that it sounded more powerful.
.”
suddenly
Thinking of something, he had an expression of regret on his face. He glanced at the airship not far away and added something after that sentence in a lowered voice.
"By the way, don't talk about this everywhere...if you accidentally say it, don't say it came from me."
Looking at this guy, the big-eyed debtor, the boy at the construction site, and Zhuan were all shocked.
"What the hell?!"
"Awesome!"
Is this okay?! But let me tell you something, when they first heard this number, they were really frightened...
Just when the two of them were shocked by the secret they accidentally overheard, the train station next to the camp was bustling with commotion.
The soldiers of the Xilan Empire huddled together at the edge of the train station, as if something had happened.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Jinrong, who had just received the reception from the company, hurried over without stopping.
After all, the survivor forces from all over the wasteland have different cultural backgrounds, and the customs formed over the past two hundred years are also different, so friction is inevitable.
Although the manager specifically told him to keep an eye on those guys from Borneo, he never expected that something would go wrong on the first day.
After arriving at the scene, he quickly found the guy who was yelling at the train conductor to cause trouble.
"I am the person in charge here, Li Jinrong, the leader of the Southern Construction Corps. Who are you?"
The tall man raised his nostrils and stretched out his right hand. "Babita, the Horse Tribe, the Baron, and the Ten Thousand Captains of the Xilan Expeditionary Army!"
Ignoring the long list of titles, Li Jinrong stared at him and asked seriously.
"So General Babita, do you have any questions?"
"What's the problem?" Babita shouted angrily, "I can't find my subordinates! You ask me what's the problem!"
"Can't find...your subordinates?"
Li Jinrong was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the large group of soldiers behind him, and said with a strange expression, "Aren't they right here?"
Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Babita became even more furious and said angrily. "It's not just that! There are 30,000 people in total! Finally, several trains have arrived at the station. I counted again and again, and there are only two thousand people."
Team! You lost our people!"
Li Jinrong almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"How could this be lost?"
"Who knows! They took your train! You were responsible for the logistics as promised! But now they are missing, don't you have some responsibility?"
As if feeling that this sentence was not powerful enough, Babita yelled again.
"We spent money!"
This is true.
The alliance did not help them with the logistics out of its own pocket, but simply converted the transportation capacity and resources into currency packages and sold them to them at a cheap price.
A total of 10,000 people were lost...
This is indeed a big deal.
If 10,000 refugees with military training suddenly appeared in the Alliance territory, it would be a big trouble even if they didn't carry guns when riding in the car.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Li Jinrong's expression gradually changed. He did not dare to delay, but asked the guy to wait for a while while he went to the communication room of the train station.
Before investigating where those people were lost, he had to find out the numbers of the trains that transported those soldiers and which stations they stopped at.
At the same time, thousands of kilometers away.
In front of the pleasant French Fries Port, cargo ships were floating on the sea, and a group of soldiers with sweaty foreheads were looking blankly at the shore.
The officer standing at the stern of the ship swallowed.
He glanced at the people waiting on the shore, then looked at the adjutant standing beside him in confusion, swallowed and asked.
