After the Nebuchadnezzar and the Icarus left one after another and carried out the beheading plan to the last resort, Zion's defense monitoring system began to have problems.
This is normal. In terms of information warfare, humans cannot be opponents of machines, not to mention that the technological levels of Zion and Mechanical City are far apart.
The surveillance network that Zion thought was foolproof was deliberately retained by Machinery City. The squid did not clean it up, and the anti-monitoring network left Zion with a bunch of erroneous information.
Just like in the matrix matrix, humans can only see what the machine wants humans to see.
Commander Locke is not just a jealous fool, nor is he a loser who spits to maintain the dignity of his superiors. He can sit in this position because he has extraordinary strategic vision and commanding ability.
After the surveillance network continuously transmitted contradictory information, Locke immediately realized that the surveillance network was controlled by robots, and immediately ordered the armed forces of the Xi'an Security Ministry to enter a wartime defense state.
Armed mecha troops, infantry, and suspension ships, which are Zion's main defense forces, are all gathered at the dock to build defenses.
In addition, volunteers were also recruited to participate in the war. They were responsible for transporting ammunition and were equipped with a stun gun to act as death squads when necessary.
All the civilians moved and entered the deepest underground, which was the underground cave that Russell and Neo had visited before.
It is a large area and is generally not open to the public except when holding rallies and voting for members.
At this time, as the first line of defense, which can also be said to be the last line of defense, the soldiers stood ready.
The armed mecha troops raised their machine guns and aimed at the top wall of the dock. The sound of drilling into the ground became increasingly clear. Even without a bullshit monitoring system, the soldiers knew that the enemy was coming.
Under the gaze of pairs of eyes, the thick wall collapsed into rubble, and cracks spread.
As the main force, Thor's Hammer turned its cannon and aimed at the crack, synchronized with the other two floating ships.
After the headquarters issued the order to return, all the suspended ships returned to Zion. Due to distance problems, only these two suspended ships rushed back before the war broke out. The others...
The captain is still sailing back on his way!
The emp on the spaceship is the last resort for the dock defenders, and it is enough to knock out all the squid in the entire dock with one blow.
Correspondingly, the weapons of the Zion defenders will also be turned into fire sticks, and the defense system will be paralyzed, leaving the entire Zion in an undefended state.
The picture is so beautiful, like an infantry army ordered by the prime minister not to shoot arrows, allowing a certain knight to come in and out seven times.
Therefore, emp is the last defensive measure for Zion's defenders and can only be used once. This time it will also determine the future of Zion.
Wow!
The cracks on the top of the wall spread, and soon a metal drill bit the size of a locomotive appeared, drilling out a spiral tunnel and falling to the bottom of the dock.
The quality of the industrial products of the machine civilization cannot be overemphasized. The drill bit fell from a height of 100 meters, but the precision parts inside were not deformed. According to the procedure, the four mechanical legs were opened, and the drill bit was restarted to dig into the residential area below the dock.
No one cares about the huge drill, except the infantry, and it is their task to destroy the drill.
"For Zion! Fire!"
The noisy buzzing in the drill hole on the top of the wall was getting closer and closer. Under the command of Mifuni, the commander of the armed mecha unit, all the mechas pulled the triggers at the same time and fired metal bullets that were as big as an adult's fist.
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!
Red tongues of fire spewed metal in a frenzy. Before the mechanical squid could emerge, they were blocked by a dense rain of firepower. They opened the way with their bodies, rushed down without fear of death, and were torn into deformed pieces.
Wow!!
There was another sound of drills, and the captain of Thor's Hammer received an order to move all the ship's cannons. When the second drill penetrated the top of the dock wall, he poured out firepower to resist the squid invasion.
Immediately afterwards, the third and fourth drill bits fell, and the remaining two suspension ships and the dock defense artillery joined the battle, using ferocious firepower to prevent the squid from entering the dock.
It seems to be blocked, but everyone knows that when the bullets are exhausted, the real test is during the exchange of bullets.
Locke at the command center felt a thump in his heart. The previous intelligence was that the squid army carried three drills to open the way. Now there are four. Doesn't that mean there is a fifth, sixth, or even more...
Locke's prayers were in vain. The fifth and sixth drill bits fell one after another, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Six drill bits represent six channels, and the firepower in the dock is evenly distributed, which immediately seems a bit inadequate.
The black squid has red electronic eyes on its face, and the locusts push towards the entrance like they are crossing the border. They cannot be suppressed by firepower, and more and more fish that have slipped through the net are crawling on the top of the arc-shaped wall.
The armed mecha troops deployed manpower to snipe the scattered squids. In a vicious circle, more and more squids poured into the dock.
"Commander, there is a major error in the intelligence, there are too many squid..."
The staff officer reported the battle situation in a cold sweat, saying that the battle situation was full of bad news: "More than half of the armed mechas have been lost, the remaining two floating ships except for Thor's Hammer have been dismantled by squid, and the dock defense system has been invaded... We want to
I can’t hold on any longer.”
"Report!"
"The infantry reported the military situation. The six drills were protected by squid groups. There were too many of them and they could not be destroyed with firepower."
"..."
Locke's face was ashen. It had been less than three minutes since the first drill entered the dock, and the troops already said they could no longer defend it.
Are his soldiers too bad, or is the enemy's offensive too fierce?
Locke knew very well that the soldiers had tried their best, but there were so many squid that once they stopped pulling the trigger, they would be torn into pieces in the gap between reloading.
"Commander, the armor of Thor's Hammer has been broken. Captain Roland requested the order to use emp. No matter how late it is, the last defense method will be torn apart by squid."
"..."
Using emp can kill all the squid in the dock, but Locke is very clear about the consequences.
"Have Captain Roland use emp, and before sending this message, order all soldiers in the dock to retreat to the second level and re-build defenses."
Locke was unable to issue an order. Using emp would mean handing over the dock to the squid army, but he had no choice. The dock had already been lost.
Moreover, if no action is taken, the second layer of defenses will also be penetrated by drills.
"Understood, sir!"
Two orders arrived one after another. In the shipyard where squid was rampant, a group of thousands of squids wrapped around the port, like countless poisonous snakes, suddenly lit up with a blue arc of light.
The electromagnetic pulse expanded and spread, penetrating the squid's body and filling the entire dock instantly. The radiated shock waves radiated upward along six channels, wiping out all the squid that had not yet entered the battlefield.
You could hear pindrops in the command room. emp killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. What was worse was that there were still ten thousand enemies, and they really only had eight hundred.
Despair turned into a dark cloud and enveloped everyone's hearts. They all knew that Zion could no longer be defended and its destruction was only a matter of time.
Bang!
Locke slapped his hand on the table and roared: "What are you doing standing still? Go out to repair the circuit. I want to see the new defenses before the squid attacks again."
"Commander, what should we do with the wounded on the dock?"
"..."
Locke was silent, took a deep breath and said coldly: "There are no wounded. The dock is lost. Except for those who can shoot, everyone has been killed."
"Ming, I understand, sir."
…
The shipyard, steel burning flames, darkness and red become the main tone, the desperate scene is like Shura Hell.
The corpses of squids were staggered in layers, covering the lowest level of the dock. The soldiers who received the evacuation mission quickly rushed to the gate and entered the second level on foot.
The injured who could not move refused to receive treatment and did not want to be a drag. They looked up at the sky and waited for death.
There is no luxury in expecting bullets to end one's life, because bullets still have their uses...
There were overwhelming noises from the six passages, and the second offensive wave of Squid's renewed strength was about to arrive. The wounded closed their eyes, unwilling to see the scene of Zion being destroyed.
Suddenly, there were intermittent noisy sounds, and the rhythm of the squid army's attack was disrupted. The soldiers opened their eyes in confusion and saw squid corpses falling like raindrops.
Electric arcs surged through the six passages, and a giant silver-white wolf probed its head and roared a few times.
what's the situation?
Six streams of black mist poured out from the passage. They were a group of ominous black bats with red eyes, squeaking and squatting on the top of the dock. Their bloodthirsty eyes made the wounded men's breathing stagnant, and they imagined how they would die in agony.
The black shadow fell, and countless bats rushed towards it, turning into black six wings and spreading above the dock.
Russell frowned and glanced at the audience. He had tried his best to drill the hole, but he was still a step too late.
Fortunately, it’s not the latest yet!
The six wings converged, and a pair of holy wings spread out behind his back. Russell released the magic power in his body with all his strength, and continuously transformed it into holy light, flying around the entire dock at high speed.
The brilliance ribbons fell, and the half-dead wounded were resurrected with full blood. Even if their hearts were pierced, as long as their brains were still active, the 'dead' had completed the resurrection ceremony.
After spending a lot of magic power, Russell took two deep breaths and landed on the port. Next to him was Mifuni, the commander of the armed mecha unit who stood up slowly. One of his arms was cut off by a squid, and he became a one-armed man after being healed.
"Mr. Russell, you...you..."
Russell picked up the severed limb on the ground and raised his eyebrows: "Don't talk, bear with it, it will hurt a little."
"What?"
Whoosh!
"Ahhhh!!"
A white brilliance flashed, and Miffany looked at her severed hand that had been reattached. She kept mumbling in her heart, and her words turned into thank you.
"You're welcome, you should be."
Russell felt a lot of pain just looking at it, but it was better than nothing. He glanced at the remaining people who were missing arms and legs: "Where are your arms and legs? Bring them over and I'll help you reattach them."
Σ(°△°)︴
"Ahhhhh"
Human beings are like this. They don't even frown when they die, but they scream like they are killing a pig.
Russell took care of the wounded in the dock, and a dense and cold darkness flowed from his feet, spread across the dock walls, and turned into big black hands with colorful branches.
"Thank you, Mr. Russell, Morpheus is right, you are the savior."
Just when Russell was about to leave, Miffany stepped forward, her eyes full of determination, except that her right hand was still a little trembling.
The connection is successful, but the psychological shadow is still there!
"Don't listen to Morpheus's nonsense, there is no savior..."
Russell frowned and said: "If you give up instead of persisting until now, then I can't save anyone."
Besides, if there really is a savior, I should be the one who deserves to be saved the most.
