Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 531 The beginning is a mission to die
"Go to the imam, he will tell us who is the enemy." NPC teammate said.

In Dashijiao, the imam's status is equivalent to the "priest" in Catholicism, but there are some differences from the "priest". If it is simply translated literally, it is equivalent to a "teacher who teaches scriptures".

(PS Because the name of that sect will be automatically blocked as an asterisk by the starting point, yesterday’s chapter was blocked, so all references to this sect in the following texts will be replaced by the ancient name "Dashi".)
The imam mentioned by the NPC is actually a small leader of the Harvey militia organization, a subordinate of the warlord Aidid, who spends more time teaching the militiamen how to operate weapons than teaching teachings...

The use of religious beliefs to control subordinate armed personnel is a common method used by many countries with big food religions.Even though the fighting power of those fanatical believers is far inferior to that of formally trained soldiers, any normal person will inevitably feel a little frightened when they see the madness that is not afraid of death.

As the old saying goes, even those who are violent are afraid of dying... In the original book of Black Hawk Down, this group of armed militiamen insisted on exchanging the corpses of thousands of their companions for the so-called "victory", and put the exhausted American army Drive out of Mogadishu like cattle.

Ke Lan couldn't help thinking of the heretical sects in reality.

Fortunately, heretic sects have only been established for more than ten years, and their foundation is far inferior to the Great Food Cult that existed in the 7th century AD... Moreover, heretical sects are more like a thing fabricated by the prophet to satisfy his own desires." A tool” is still a tool full of self-destructive tendencies—it is more appropriate to say it is a “consumable” than a tool.

But there is one thing that is enough to make the threat of heretical sects rank ahead of all religions that have appeared in human history: the "God" that Dashi Cult believes in is a fictional idol created by human beings, but the heretical sects "God" actually exists.

Even Ke Lan himself had witnessed the "miracle" of that god.

For ordinary people with weak wills, this kind of existence is enough to subvert their cognition and drive them into madness... When the initial madness fades away, these people whose cognition has been "reshaped" will become loyal to heretical sects believers.

Ke Lan glanced at the NPC companion holding the machine gun, and a similar fanatical gaze flashed in the opponent's eyes.

……

The two pushed open the broken door and walked out quickly.

At this time, Ke Lan could already hear the sound of helicopter rotors coming from far outside the city, and the bustling civilians on the street suddenly became agitated—many people did not run back to their houses immediately, but He stretched his neck and looked around for something.

In fact, many of these "civilians" are not civilians in the true sense. As long as they pick up guns, they are armed militias and the enemies of the American soldiers.

And guns can be seen everywhere in Mogadishu.

Ke Lan couldn't help thinking of an original sentence in the movie: They are fighting the whole city...

"They" refers to the Rangers and Delta players trapped in Mogadishu.

An old black man in a white linen robe and a turban of the same color stood across the street and waved to Ke Lan—the moment Ke Lan saw him, a line of text popped out in front of him, "Mission objective: Go to the militia assembly point."

The NPC companion had already pushed passers-by and ran over, and Ke Lan hurriedly followed.

Except for the fact that they all speak Chinese, which made him feel a little magical, the scenes, lights and shadows, and NPC characters are all the same as the real world. When Ke Lan squeezed through the crowd, he could even smell the smoke emanating from the NPC. of sweat.

"Hurry up, hurry up, come here." The white-robed old man pulled Ke Lan and the two into a low adobe house. Uncle Hei was squatting in a dark corner, holding all kinds of firearms in their hands-the types, calibers, and origins of these firearms were varied, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they were all very old.

These people probably don't even know the standard posture of shoulder shooting, let alone the daily maintenance and maintenance of firearms...

A burly black man wearing a denim vest and a baseball cap behind his back was holding a micro punch and spitting at the militiamen: "The hateful Americans planned a raid. They want to capture Ai. Deed, but Aidid had already got the news in advance and left there."

He glanced at Ke Lan and another militiaman who had just walked into the room, and then said: "But Aidid's cadres are still staying at the Olympic Hotel. Your task is to protect them and take them to a safe place!"

Hearing the little boss's words, Ke Lan couldn't help but "thump" in his heart—the first task their militiamen received was even more difficult than he imagined.

The "capture operation" mentioned by the little boss is the "Operation Irene" planned by the US special forces in order to arrest Aidid's senior staff in the movie. It belongs to the first half of the entire "Black Hawk Down" incident-at this stage, the United States The army encountered little to no decent resistance.Under the cover of the Rangers, the Delta team members broke into the Olympic Hotel neatly, eliminated the militiamen defending the hotel, and put the target person on the convoy.

As an old gadget of this game, Ke Lan has naturally played this part of the plot when using the Delta and Ranger characters. Compared with the entire game process, this part can only be regarded as a novice tutorial at best, and the difficulty is low enough. Negligible, it is basically used to familiarize players with game operations.

Even if you choose the Delta Force in "hard mode", just pay attention to the crossfire in the corner when rushing into the restaurant, give priority to eliminating those militiamen with automatic weapons, and even if the remaining enemies cannot be fired by the player, It will also be quickly killed by the NPC teammates who follow.

From the perspective of the American army, this part of the game process is a tutorial for beginners...but if it is the other way around, from the perspective of Aidid's militia, it is equivalent to a death mission-although for this part in the movie There are only a few shots of the militia supporting the hotel, but in the game, these people basically rush out to give away their heads... Unless they delay the start of the convoy by a few minutes, they don't even have a single American soldier kill.

It wasn't until the Humvee convoy began to evacuate that a dead American soldier appeared-Sergeant Pila, who was sitting on the top of the Humvee and manipulating the M2 heavy machine gun.

Ke Lan thought that the first task would be a slightly less difficult task such as destroying the road or ambushing the convoy, but who knew that they would be asked to support the Olympic Hotel as soon as they came up. This is simply a hell-like start!
"Quick! Quick! Let's go!" Under the urging of the leader of the militia, the dozen or so people quickly climbed into the two Toyota pickups parked at the back door, and Ke Lan also got into the co-pilot of one of the pickups.

Machine gun bases are welded into the bodies of the two pickup trucks, and they are equipped with an M2HB "Laoganma" heavy machine gun made in the United States and a 14.5mm "Deshka" anti-aircraft machine gun produced by the Soviet Union during World War II.

Ke Lan is no stranger to this car. When he was playing in the Ranger camp, the first enemies he encountered were them. However, the two heavy machine guns failed to shoot down the helicopter. Instead, they were shot down by the Vulcan cannon on the helicopter. Swept into a sieve.

"Anyway, as soon as you see Mi Jun's helicopter appearing in the sky, jump out of the car." Ke Lan made up his mind, and then rummaged around the co-pilot.

According to the setting of the game, on the vehicles of the U.S. Army—whether it is a Black Hawk helicopter, a Little Bird helicopter or a Humvee, you can always find some extra equipment if you search carefully on the road, and at least a few grenades and shock bombs are guaranteed. If you are lucky, you may even find a fully equipped M733 carbine or MP5K submachine gun. This type of weapon is much easier to use than the M16A2 rifle issued by the Rangers, which can only be semi-automatic and has three bursts.

However, in the cab of this pickup truck, Ke Lan only found a few rounds of 14.5mm machine gun ammunition for the "Deshka" anti-aircraft machine gun... This thing is useless to him, he will never Those who ran to the back of the pickup to operate the machine gun were simply a target.

"Hey, brother, do you have any extra magazines, give me some." There was really no way, Ke Lan could only pin his last hope on the thick-lipped pickup truck driver beside him.

"Magazine? A magazine for the AK? Oh, here's one." The driver held the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other, he rummaged through the glove box full of debris and garbage, digging out a crooked Throw the magazine to Ke Lan.

Ke Lan took the magazine and took a look. At the bottom of the magazine, he saw a line of Chinese inscriptions "Northern Industries XXXX-Type Five and Six XXX" mixed with numbers—this was not an AK magazine, but It is a "56 punch" magazine exported by Huaxia.

Fortunately, the 56 punch was originally imitated according to the AK47, and the magazines of the two are also completely interchangeable.

After throwing the magazine to Ke Lan, the driver stopped talking, and Ke Lan didn't continue to talk, but took advantage of the time to rush to fill up the spare magazine with bullets.

In less than 5 minutes, the two pickup trucks drove to the entrance of the alley just one street away from the Olympic Hotel, and the militiamen in the vehicles jumped out one after another and ran towards the hotel.But Ke Lan looked around, locked on a three-story building with a balcony, smashed the door open with the butt of a gun, and walked in quickly.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing that Ke Lan did not follow the "planned route", the NPC who had been with him from the beginning stopped and asked.

"Since the Americans want to raid the restaurant, they must go through the street. This house is the commanding height facing the street. We can go to the balcony and the roof to attack the Americans." Ke Lan explained to the NPC.

"Good idea!" The NPC nodded and ran over immediately.

It turns out that this guy is an assistant assigned to him by the system... Ke Lan thought to himself, when playing the Delta camp and the Ranger camp, there will be one to three soldiers following him all the time, even if the player does not follow the mission instructions. Soldiers will always follow the player to provide cover for the player.

Of course, Ke Lan didn't tell the truth to the NPC here-running to the top of the building to snipe the American army on the street, it would only become the target of the helicopter in the air, their legs can't run away from the bullets, if they really do this, I am afraid that the two of them will become the first two militiamen to be killed in the "Black Hawk Down" incident.

Ke Lan's real purpose was actually the car that the informant used as a marker.

In the original work, in order to allow the soldiers involved in the attack to identify the target building "Olympic Hotel" immediately, the US intelligence personnel specially arranged for an informant to park a car at the gate of the hotel, and A cross-shaped logo was affixed to the roof with bold white tape.

If the vehicle could be moved...the Delta Force raid might not go so smoothly in the first place.

Ke Lan and his NPC teammates rushed up to the balcony on the third floor. With just one glance, Ke Lan found the informant's car - a cross with white lines on a black background. If you look down from a high place, it is very eye-catching.

At the same time, a reconnaissance plane of the Mi Army is circling in the nearby airspace, and it should be helping the Mi Army to locate the attack.

In a maximum of 5 minutes, those helicopters full of Rangers and Delta players will appear here... The war is on the verge of breaking out.

"See that car!" Ke Lan pointed to the car and said to his NPC teammates.

"I see!" The NPC teammate nodded vigorously, "Why is there such a pattern on that car?"

"This thing may be used as a positioning marker for the attackers! We have to move it away!" Ke Lan said.

"Then what should I do?" NPC teammates immediately asked - although the AI ​​of these NPC characters is not low, but due to the setting of the game, under normal circumstances they will not question the player's proposal at all, unless the proposal is too outrageous: For example, if Ke Lan, who is a militia character, said that he wanted to shoot down his boss Aidid, the player would definitely be executed by his teammates as a traitor every minute.

"Let's go!" After speaking, Ke Lan took his teammates and ran downstairs again. While keeping an eye on the reconnaissance helicopter in the sky, he quickly moved to the informant's car.

The timid informant had already left, leaving only an empty car on the side of the street.

"Can you drive?" Ke Lan asked.

"Yes." The NPC nodded.

"That's good!" Ke Lan hit the butt of his gun again, smashing the window glass on the side of the driver's seat.

"Get this car away, as far away from here as possible!"
