Chapter 242 'Teach these scumbags what real war is!'
Metropolis District 05.
This is located on the north side of Area 04, the most chaotic area, and is close to Area 07, which has a star port.
At the beginning of the chaos, the Star Port and the relay station became the targets of the 203rd Division Artillery Battalion and encountered heavy artillery bombardment.
The current star port is paralyzed, and large cruise ships and cargo ships parked above have also been forced to the ground due to shelling, resulting in the collapse of large areas of buildings and the number of casualties is difficult to estimate.
Fortunately, Krieger's 087th Regiment responded quickly and eliminated the 203rd Division Artillery Battalion at the first opportunity. Otherwise, the losses in the metropolitan area would have been even more serious.
Area 05, which was originally not a serious area of chaos, gradually fell into an uncontrollable situation after a large number of believers in "Our Lord" walked out of Area 04.
Believers force people who don't understand the situation to drink "corruption soup" to achieve the purpose of increasing their companions, causing more and more people to be forced to join the camp of "our Lord".
At this time, there was a huge apartment building with a total of one hundred floors, the overall structure of which was in the shape of a "back", and a hollow center.
Forty families live on each floor. The lobby on the ground floor is like a built-in garden square. Standing in the lobby and looking up, you can see the sky above.
At the main entrance on the north side of the hall, there are hundreds of residents dressed in pajamas or casually dressed.
"What happened..."
"War? Alien race?"
"I don't know, there is no official announcement."
There was a panic scene outside the street, with confused residents discussing among themselves.
Two security guards armed with pistols squeezed through the crowd, and one of them wore a peaked cap and walked towards the terminal hanging on the wall on the right.
Another security guard who seemed to be the captain stepped forward, turned around and reminded the residents: "Please stay away from the main entrance! We have to manually block the entire building!"
Also! It’s best for everyone to go back home, lock the doors, and wait for the situation in the metropolitan area to return to stability!”
Looking at the intensifying turmoil outside the glass door, the residents stopped their discussions, adopted the security captain's advice, and prepared to leave and return home.
"Boss!"
The security guard wearing a peaked cap shouted loudly as soon as he opened the blocking program interface: "A team of security guards is coming towards us!"
?
Hearing this, the security captain and the residents looked outside the glass door.
Two transport boats painted black were found parked beside the street in front of the door. The moment they opened the hatches, dozens of police officers poured out.
Half of them wear mechanical skeletons and armor, hold military-grade pulse firearms, and belong to a special team of the Public Security Department that specializes in handling major incidents.
"Great. With the Sheriff here, the safety of our building should be fine."
"yes."
The arrival of the security guards, especially the sight of the heavily armed special teams, doubled the sense of security among the residents.
"Wait a minute." The captain motioned to the security guard in the cap not to execute the blockade procedure yet.
As soon as he finished speaking, the glass door automatically opened, allowing the security officers to enter the hall unimpeded and quickly divided into eight groups.
The six groups immediately dispersed and headed toward the living area above, while the remaining two groups stayed in the hall, holding guns and surrounding the hundreds of residents gathered in the hall.
A special team member also forcefully pulled away the security guard in a peaked cap who was standing next to the terminal, and then pushed him hard into the crowd, causing the security guard to almost stumble and fall.
??
Seeing the Sheriff's very tough attitude, the residents and the two security guards realized that something was not right.
So the security captain asked: "Excuse me, sir, what is outside..."
But the gunshot "click!" and the "pop!" sound of a broken arm interrupted the security captain's inquiry.
The captain showed an expression of disbelief and looked at the Sheriff who was still standing with his gun raised in front of him, then turned to look at his missing left arm...
"Ah!! My arm! Arm!" the security captain shouted loudly.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding police officers fired threats at hundreds of residents.
!!!
"ah!"
"No! Don't kill me!"
"Shut up!" the police officer who fired first yelled, "If you don't want to die, just hold your head and squat down!"
The successive abnormal actions of the sheriffs completely frightened everyone, and fear drove them to follow the orders of the sheriffs and squat down with their heads in their hands.
When being robbed, the security guard wearing a peaked cap also threw his gun aside in a sensible manner.
"Help me...save me..."
The security captain who did not take the initiative to disarm immediately lost his ability to move and resist, and collapsed on the ground, groaning feebly in pain.
And under the uncharacteristic guarding of the security guards, no one dared to step forward to provide assistance to the security captain.
See that the situation is under control.
Four more members of the special team carried out two large equipment boxes from the departing airship, and then came to the hall through the glass door.
Put down the equipment box.
Open the box lid.
What's inside is the "soup" with a strong smell.
"vomit...!"
The moment they smelled the smell, some people couldn't help but vomit.
"Everyone." A pale-skinned police officer said with an approachable smile:
"Drink the nectar given by our Lord, and you will become our companions, and you will no longer have to worry about illness and death.
Someone's coming..." As he said that, the Sheriff looked at the security captain who was gradually losing consciousness and said:
"Help this friend get out of his pain."
After the words fell, the two special teams jointly lifted the security captain to the equipment box. It seemed that they wanted to feed him a strong soup.
"..." People who witnessed this scene had rejection written all over their faces.
But they couldn't change anything. They could only watch helplessly as the two special teams approached the equipment box with the security captain.
However, a loud "Boom!" interrupted the actions of the two special teams and made everyone present look up.
I saw a violent explosion in the area on the 25th and 6th floors.
"ah-!"
Accompanied by miserable screams, a special team member performed a free fall from top to bottom.
"Pah!"
In the end, he fell heavily to the floor of the first-floor hall. Even with the protection of individual soldier equipment, he could not be turned into a bloody mess and become a pulp.
!!
Seeing this, the pale-skinned Sheriff shouted: "Alert! All police..."
"Pong——!"
But this time, before the sheriff could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sharp sound of a large-caliber sniper rifle.
"Bang~!" also caused the Sheriff's head to explode.
Even if he received the blessing of an evil god from another space, the body without his head would eventually fall to the ground after shaking feebly, completely motionless.
Only the dark green fishy blood was left, flowing continuously through the wound.
Next...
"There is a sniper! Be careful to avoid it!"
"Team 4 was ambushed!!"
"Team 5 has lost contact!!"
The Sheriff and the special teams responded hurriedly, but communications were still coming out one after another, which team suffered serious losses, or which team lost contact and was completely wiped out.
Furthermore, gunfire erupted throughout the apartment building, and everywhere was filled with the light of gunfire.
The frightened people no longer squatted with their heads in their hands, but fell to the ground with their heads in their hands, and some curled up to protect themselves as much as possible.
However, the security guard wearing a peaked cap took out a small can of biofoam from the first aid kit on his waist.
Then choose to crawl, risking your way to the security captain who is about to fall into coma, and use foam to help the captain deal with the severe bleeding injury of his arm.
After doing all this, the security guard in the peaked cap fell to the ground with his head in his arms and remained motionless.
soon.
In less than three minutes, the gunfire stopped and the entire building returned to silence, leaving only the faint sound of gunfire and explosions coming from outside the building.
Everyone who noticed the ceasefire slowly stood up and found the bodies of the Sheriff and the Special Team scattered around, as well as the two stinking equipment boxes.
The security guard in the peaked cap covered his mouth and nose with his hands and moved the lids of the two equipment boxes shut with his feet, allowing everyone to breathe freely.
Immediately afterwards.
More than a hundred "civilians" with white hair and temples, wearing dark clothes that facilitate movement, wearing simple civilian armor, and holding civilian-style firearms, rushed to the lobby on the first floor through the stairs and elevators.
In fact, since the establishment of UEG, it has not completely restricted the sale of firearms and armor.
However, you need to provide identification documents, mental health certificates, and other documents that need to be updated regularly to have a chance of being qualified to legally purchase firearms.
It's just that the chance of this is very low, and among those who are eligible to purchase, 90% or more of the soldiers retired from the UNSC.
After all, retired soldiers can still serve as the backbone of a city or even a colonial planet in times of crisis.
Such as now.
The more than a hundred "civilians" gathered in the hall are retired veterans with an average age of about sixty-five years old.
After arriving in the hall, the veterans recharged the corpses of the police officers and special teams, and searched for useful weapons and equipment.
The first person who did not join the replenishment team was Andrei, who had pulled Leon and Ada earlier. He was strong and had a Russian accent.
The old major carried a shotgun on one shoulder and led several veterans through the crowd to the two equipment boxes. He looked at the sheriff whose head was exploded and said disdainfully:
"Don't worry about disease and death? I'm living well now, and I have to worry about when I can live to the end! What a worry! Suka is not included!"
"Major."
A veteran wearing an old-fashioned blue beret approached Andre, straightened his back and reported:
"The sniper team said they discovered an armored convoy belonging to the Krieger 087 Regiment. It had just turned onto Third Street. Based on the traffic conditions on the road, it is expected to pass us in five minutes."
"Krieg, hehe, it's been a long time since I've cooperated with those taciturn guys."
Andre turned around with a sigh, and said in his loud voice to the hundreds of residents who were trapped in a cage:
"Dear neighbors! You have also seen that these are extraordinary times, so everyone should go back to their homes! Lock the door and stay quiet. Next, we veterans will be responsible for the safety work!"
After speaking, Andre looked at the two security guards and said, "Medical soldier! Take that guy to the emergency room on the sixth floor for treatment!"
"Yes, Major!"
A veteran who was a medical corpsman helped the security guard wearing a peaked cap and helped the security captain to the elevator.
"Thanks for the rescue!"
"Then thank you for the hard work."
"Go home quickly, go home!"
After they recovered, the residents also expressed their gratitude to Andre and the veterans, and quickly left the hall and returned home.
"Lieutenant." Andre ordered to the veteran wearing a blue beret: "You and your men stay here to ensure the safety of our families."
"Don't worry, Major." The lieutenant nodded.
"Of course I'm relieved. Okay, the rest of you can let me educate the scum who dare to cause turmoil about what a fucking war is!"
Andre waved his hand, held the shotgun in his hand, and walked towards the street outside the glass door.
"Sir! Yes, sir!"
The veterans responded enthusiastically, and before leaving, they threw the two equipment boxes containing the "soup" outside.
After Andre led a hundred veterans out of the hall, the lieutenant walked to the terminal and continued to complete the blockade process of the entire building.
Subsequently, metal gates were placed at all entrances and exits of the building, and even the roof where you can look up at the night sky was closed.
In fact, this apartment building is the residence of Andre and more than 150 veterans of the UNSC 1st Airborne Division.
After retiring, this group of veterans followed their former chief Andre and led their families to immigrate to Arcadia.
The combat prowess and individual equipment of the sheriff and the special team were indeed able to completely overwhelm civilians. However, they who were responsible for corrupting this apartment building were unlucky enough to encounter Andrei and a group of airborne veterans living here.
..
As a result, he was completely tortured.
Outside the completed blockade of the apartment building on Third Street.
Andre and the veterans quickly dispersed in the airborne division's most classic four-man team, killing believers and police officers who behaved abnormally, and helping normal civilians escape.
"Bang!"
Andre blasted the believer whose skin was covered with abscesses with one shot, and after confirming that there was no one acting abnormally nearby, he looked to the north of Third Street.
The Krieg armored convoy, led by a Mammoth Mobile Fortress, was less than a hundred meters away from their area.
The Krieger convoy, consisting of the Mammoth, two siege tanks and several armored personnel carriers, had long noticed the actions of Andre and others and realized that these veterans were considered friendly forces.
However, even if they noticed it, the Krieger motorcade had no intention of stopping. It passed by the location of Andre and others and headed straight towards Area 04.
Andre, who understood Krieger's behavior, ordered through a civilian walkie-talkie:
"Everyone will act together with the convoy and continue to deal with the scum!"
"yes!"
Next, the veterans followed the convoy to Area 04.
And on the way forward, a large number of uncorrupted peace officers, other retired veterans, and even many UNSC soldiers who voluntarily evacuated the 203rd Division gathered.
By the time Krieger arrived at the Blue Resort Hotel in Area 04 and successfully contacted Leon and Ada, the team that originally had only a hundred veterans had expanded to nearly a thousand people.
??
Leon stood in front of the hotel's main entrance with a confused look on his face.
"Haha!" Andre said with a bold smile: "I didn't expect that young man from Lyon to be from Umbrella!"
