Planet Amydodon, Main Continent, Hades Nest City, Upper Nest Area
The classroom blackboard in the ruins still has the content of the day's teaching, and the words written in chalk are still clearly visible.
"Don't ask what the emperor can give, just answer what you can give to the emperor..."
For the student mobilized soldiers of Hades's Nest City, the lecture ended from the day the war began, but this half of the sentence remained on the blackboard.
But Sidi Tomic was still familiar with this famous saying. When he was a child, he spent countless hours reciting these famous sayings of the empire.
As he watched, he stopped temporarily.
Four years ago Sidi was still a student here. The past scene appeared before me. The hall was full of young students, girls with short hair cuts, boys chatting against the wall, major instructors with big beards and dance teachers wearing over-knee skirts...
He allowed himself to temporarily immerse himself in memories, as if he could smell the faint smell of soap on his neat uniform and the fresh fruit on his hands.
But soon, he realized the impatientness of his companions - Russell was a young man from a nest, and spent most of his time in theft and street fighting, and he could not understand what school is, what education is, and what meaning is.
Everything he does is purposeful.
"We have to find something useful."
Russell's voice when he spoke was completely inconsistent with his age at twenty, and it is said that it was caused by drinking inferior spirits.
Sidi then took back his memories.
Medical kits, guns, ammunition, battery bags, food... there must be something available here.
He forced himself not to care about the stench of the rotten bodies in the room while walking through the building, and then the two entered an office.
The locker was open, books, documents, and various papers were scattered all over the floor, and there was a pool of obvious blood on the polished tiles. Following the blood, you could see who was dragged away by the body.
At the end of the building, three bodies were half buried by the fallen ceiling, and they had been abandoned here for at least a few weeks, with the hollow skull eye sockets covered with dust.
Siddy forced himself not to guess their identities and checked the pockets of the dead, but he didn't get much. He only found half an energy bar and a hand-woven sky eagle jewelry.
"Have you found anything?"
Russell, behind him, asked curiously. He had just flipped over a cabinet, but the result was obviously disappointing.
“This is the only one.”
Siddy shook the Skyhawk ornaments in his hand. He was not a fool, so he must have left the energy bar to himself.
Now this thing is so rare that it is more valuable than any jewelry.
Boom boom boom boom———!
The battle broke out on the street not far away, and the roar of mortars and automatic cannons kept ringing. Siddy could only secretly be glad that these shells were not for him.
Their mission is to reconnaissance. Since the northern guardrail was broken through, there are only a few areas left in the entire upper nest.
The two walked through the gate and entered a square of a training ground. White marking lines were drawn on the stone ground. Someone once made a water storage device in the middle of the square, but the metal bucket used for water storage had been damaged by bullets and had long lost its function, so no drop of water could be left behind.
"There!"
Suddenly, Sidi pointed above a collapsed building.
But Russell saw nothing.
"There!"
Siddy raised Russell's finger.
"There is a barrel that is exposed there. Have you seen it?"
Russell narrowed his eyes, then nodded and said in a low voice:
"If a heavy logging machine gun can be brought back, we can get at least one ration, so you can cover me."
Although the two of them acted separately, Siddy squatted in the corner of the square, with the laser gun pressing against her shoulders, Russell carefully chose his starting point and footing point to climb up the ruins.
As he approached a broken window, it was difficult to move forward, and he had to go around the more exposed side of the building to look for a new route.
Siddy understood his thoughts and traveled through the square to another angle to cover him.
Several corpses were hung on the lamp pole at the entrance of the college and swayed gently with the breeze, but the corpses were not here a few days ago.
Siddy raised his laser gun and whistled at Russell to alert him. The other party stopped and pointed ahead of the road.
Russell obviously discovered something.
After a while, he made a gesture to Sidi.
"Green skin."
His gestures showed what they were most worried about.
Siddy nodded and pressed the laser gun tightly on her shoulders. The time for killing came.
There is no doubt that the green-skinned infiltrators have entered the area, and if they occupy the ruins, it will be a very troublesome situation, as it happens to be at the intersection of three blocks, between College Street and Statue Square.
Sidi once heard that there was a band of green skins on the battlefield that imitated human tactics. They were more disciplined and threatening. Since the green skins entering here could be so quiet, it was likely that they were this green skin.
In fact, he did guess correctly.
But he didn't know that there was a lurker in the ruins.
A cautious, secret shadow lurks in the dark and waits for a fatal blow, which is the way he chooses to fight.
His name is Steed Zabi, and he is a guard sniper. Although he is separated from the main force, the modified sniper rifle in his hand gives him enough courage. In past battles, he has killed the double-digit greenskin.
Now, it has a new goal. Not far away, there is a team of Green Skin Blood Axe in about ten, and a Green Skin officer. Killing it is enough to put the enemy in panic and disorder.
He has 30 bullets, meaning 30 greenskins will pay the price for his crimes.
Steed climbed forward and saw a green skin wearing a red strap in a green jacket passing through the streets beside the church. They were hunched over, as if they were walking in a storm.
He quickly found the commander among the green skins. It was wearing a military coat like a man, with two newly cut heads hanging on his belt, and a sword in his hand.
Steed didn't waste time identifying the head of the unlucky guy. He gently pulled out the insurance, took a deep breath, and aimed at the target.
Bo!
The sound from the sniper rifle with a silencer is very low and almost impossible to detect from a distance.
There should be nothing more daunting on the battlefield than a precise shot by a sniper, but the greens did not stop or spread out to find cover. Even the commander who was hit had one of his eyes completely knocked out and the bullet drilled into his mind, but it still continued to crawl forward with his hands, like a lizard, leaving a string of blood in the direction of the crawling.
Then, there is the second shot.
"Hmm? Gunshot?"
Siddy heard the harsh howls of Green Skin and faint gunfire, and realized that Green Skin was approaching.
"quick!"
He quickly urged Russell to speed up. The man grabbed the barrel and pulled it hard. A wave of rock chips slid from the vicinity, but the gun was still stuck under the ruins.
“It’s stuck!”
Then he lifted the steel bars pressed on the gun with force. Under a series of actions, more items slid down from the ruins. A re-logging gun's ammunition box fell to the ground and made a huge sound, and large-caliber ammunition was spread all over the floor.
Russell carried the steel bars on his shoulders and tried to build a rifle buried underneath. At this time, more footsteps were approaching. Obviously, the movement just now made the greens think that the snipers were here.
"Hurry it!"
At Siddy's urging, Russell grabbed the gun and pulled it upwards and then picked up the heavy weapon.
But at the same time, the sound of a fuze hissing sound came from his feet...
Siddy wanted to warn him, but the words were stuck in his throat and could not say anything. In a short moment, the two of them intersected their eyes, and it was obvious that Russell knew what was going on.
