supreme commander's bizarre adventure

Chapter 84 The Master Chief's Way ([-])

Cortana wanders in the online world of the Spartan training base. As the top artificial intelligence of mankind, she is a real queen here. There is a strong enough "mother" in Cortana.

Now those are the little things, the real fun is the nightly observation of the big man—

At least Cortana thought she was observing.

John, what an ordinary name... Cortana looked at the sleeping John and thought, she recalled the information in the file, the young man in front of her (?) had put in far more efforts to win and become stronger than others imagined, and suffered from training. The injuries almost spread all over his body, and the bones healed again and again after being shattered again and again. The pain and hardship involved can be imagined.

Even so, Master Chief John persisted on Spartan 117. No one ever knew why he forced himself so hard. Maybe it was because he sensed the coming crisis, and the consciousness aggregate of human civilization gave him such protection. who come?

That's a really good joke.

However, let's stop here today, cute boy... There will always be a chance to say something more in tomorrow's actions.

Cortana left quietly. After she left, John who was lying on the bed frowned slightly, turned over, and fell asleep more peacefully after touching his pistol with the palm of his hand under the pillow.

a few days later.

The hibernation chamber opened, John opened his eyes, and felt the nausea from his esophagus. He smashed his mouth, suppressed the discomfort forcibly, and walked out of the hibernation chamber.The Spartans are heading towards an asteroid belt where the separatist rebels are located with a Halberd-class destroyer. This destroyer named Iroquois will provide a little help for their actions:

Send them there, and pick them up when the mission is complete.

"Master Chief, this is our mission objective."

"Let me take a look," John reached out to take the document from Linda, and after he quickly scanned it, he raised his head and said to the Spartans who were wearing ordinary workers' clothes:

"We are going to infiltrate the rebel base and bring back all the data in the computer, and also bring back their leader."

"This sounds interesting," Joshua (029) said. He carefully attached a dagger to his lower back, and moved his body a few more times. After making sure that this thing would definitely not affect him, he continued asked:

"Who are our enemies?"

"The rebels," said Master Chief John, "to be more precise, many rebels have weapons and equipment from the regular army and a few retired armored vehicles. In fact, our task is to find out the source of their equipment. .”

"We have so many people, why don't we just use weapons to kill them, but hold knives and rifles and pretend to be workers to sneak in?"

"then they might wipe out all the data and send us to the sky with bombs, even if the final victory will come, there may be sacrifices between us, I don't think you want to use your pectoral muscles to fight heavy machine guns bullets."

"George (052, noble team) might be able to."

"Shut up, Michael (120, technical genius, member of the Spartan Gray team)."

"Oh."

Just as the Master Chief was about to continue speaking, the door of the maintenance room opened, and the captain of the Iroquois, Keith, walked in. He raised his hand to stop the Spartans from saluting, and then walked directly to the Master Chief's room. In front of him, he handed him a simple alloy chest hanging and said:

"Halsey said, let me take care of you and Cortana... If anything happens, send a letter immediately, regardless of what the ONI group thinks, and only by surviving the battle can we win a greater victory."

The Master Chief nodded, and quickly put on the chest strap. This chest strap is very simple, thin but very strong. There is a fitting protrusion on the back of the Master Chief's neck, which contains the core of Cortana's consciousness data. , Then, he pulled out two long wires from his shoulders, one sticking behind the ears, and the other sticking to the forehead along the edge of the hairline.

When the Master Chief put on the thing, Cortana's voice reached his ears immediately:

"Hello, John."

"You should call me Master Chief, and I think we're only meeting for the second time, Cortana."

"Yes, yes, we met for the second time," Cortana's voice sounded like a fox who stole a chicken, which made John a little uncomfortable, and he was facing this type for the first time exist.So, he decided to keep silent first, and prioritize the task——

This artificial intelligence can't be with me for a lifetime, can it?

"The objective of the mission is very simple, but the course of action will be very complicated. I am here to wait for your triumphant return," Captain Keith gently shook hands with every Spartan. The soldiers who crushed their palms made the Spartans feel good about him.

The Master Chief nodded to Captain Keyes, and then he and the Spartans walked out of the maintenance room and onto the Pelican troop carrier, which would take them close to the rebel base, drop them off, and The edge of the asteroid belt awaits the return of the Spartans.

"John, are you nervous?" Cortana's voice rang in the ears of the Master Chief. The latter was adjusting the output of his spacesuit, and the small propulsion device behind him took him swimming in the cold and dark space, honestly In other words, this kind of equipment is just ordinary civilian products... This operation is not so much to verify the combat effectiveness of the Spartans, but rather a deliberate murder.

The cost of training each Spartan is enough to build a battleship, not to mention the power armor of Thor's Hammer that is being developed in the future. To a certain extent, the anxiety and defeat of the battle situation have made it impossible for human beings to continue to afford the current Spartan warriors. It seems to be an extremely long and bottomless development project, let alone Dr. Halsey, who is at the pinnacle of the human mind, devote himself to the "futureless" work here.

Perhaps huge ears of wheat will grow after the seeds are planted, but human beings are hungry now.

"Call me Master Chief," John replied muffled, a little angry now, and not at Cortana, of course.

"Okay, John, no problem, John... you seem a little angry, is it because of me?"

"of course not!"

The Master Chief replied quickly, and then he was surprised at the speed of his answer. After thinking about it, John comforted:

"I just hate politics."

"It's not easy."

"I know, but after I become the commander-in-chief of the UNSC, I will kill ONI's staff officers one by one, so that ONI's institutional mobility can be preserved, and those unsightly things can be cleaned up."

"Wow, I didn't know you were so wild, John."

"I'm a little wilder than you think, Cortana, as you'll see soon."

The Rebel space station hidden in the asteroid field is close at hand, and the Spartans are ready.

Chapter 85 The Master Chief's Way ([-])

The scale of the rebel space station is very large, and it is composed of scattered space stations of various sizes. The Master Chief even saw a dismantled frigate in it... These rebels refitted a decommissioned frigate At once, embedded in an asteroid to act as a fixed battery.

"Spartans, spread out."

The Master Chief ordered on the communication channel that there are currently 52 Spartans under his command, but 23 people are still lying in the medical cabin due to enhanced surgery, although Halsey assured him that there will be more Spartans who can He recovered smoothly and returned to the battlefield, but for the Master Chief, watching his brothers and sisters lying in the hospital bed was also a kind of torture.

The order was carried out silently by the Spartans. The 13 teams with an irregular number dispersed, preparing to infiltrate and seize various key points, while the Master Chief led 7 Spartans directly into the control center, preparing to complete the mission. established combat objectives.

One minute later, the Spartans had successfully sneaked into this messy space station, and to their surprise, there were quite a few people here!

"Spartan 117 is in place, the next report time is 0400."

The Master Chief hid sideways on a steel beam, and his gaze swept over the four guards at the gate below. At this time, the soldier was wearing a set of dark blue overalls that were dirty and smelly. All that was available was a rifle, some magazines and a dagger.

"The teams report the situation."

"In place." xN

"Keep the current state and wait for the order."

Gently exhaling, the Master Chief leaned against the steel beam with his eyes closed, and the future slowly unfolded in front of him... A moment later, he opened his eyes and nodded to Linda and Fred at the other end of the steel beam. head, who also responded with a nod.

This is the top of the entire central space station, just like the frigate, this space station is also "embedded" in an asteroid, the weak gravity generated by the artificial gravity field ensures the health of the people living here, of course , In fact, there is no health.This place is more like a transportation hub, criminals and pirates coming from all directions will stop here for a short time, and then leave with their own corpses or some valuable things, but in general, It's kind of orderly here.

"Master Chief, are they... all rebels?"

A member of the Red Team, Alice whispered, she is now staying with Jerome at the side of the Master Chief, who was in danger during the intensive operation, but finally passed the operation smoothly and became a member of the Red Team. leader.

Now, he and Alice, as well as Douglas and another member of the blue team Samuel (034, one of the members of the blue team, but died on November 2525, 11 in the official history, is the No.27 Sparta killed in action Soldier) is forming a mixed team with the Master Chief to carry out the assault mission, while Fred is leading the two remaining BLU members, Kelly and Linda, for retreat guarantee and fire support.

"Not only, but also criminals and pirates. Of course, there are not many criminals, and they often have extremely serious criminal records. In short, they are the type that can be shot before questioning," The Master Chief replied casually. He was counting the time in his heart, waiting for the opportunity. After waiting quietly for a while, he turned to the four Spartan soldiers behind him:

"This time it's not a training bomb, protect yourself."

After saying that, the Master Chief smiled slightly, and fell back, leaving only one order echoing in the communication channel:

"The action begins!"

In an instant, the rebel space station exploded everywhere, and most of the space station was plunged into darkness!If there is anything in this chaos that can briefly illuminate the surrounding environment, it is only the flames of the muzzles of the Spartans!

Cortana didn't know how to describe everything in front of her. She seemed to be in a dark hunting ground. After losing her advanced observation equipment, she could only watch the Master Chief's "performance" with the camera, yes, a performance.

The moment the Master Chief jumped off the steel girder, darkness had already fallen here. Before the rebels activated the backup power, he had 2 minutes, and during these 2 minutes, he was enough to kill everyone here. a guard!

The dagger was thrown in mid-air, and it precisely pierced the throat of the dazed guard. The latter felt a burst of pain, and then completely lost his life. When the corpse slowly fell, the other guards frantically tried to When the light on the gun was turned on—

The Sergeant Chief's right fist had already landed on the face of one of them. The strengthened skeleton of the soldier hit the human skull. After a muffled sound, the guard's head was directly sunken, and the neck was also hit by that. It snapped off in an instant, and slumped limply on her body... After the Master Chief shook off the blood and brains from his hands, Cortana slowly let out a sound:

"Wow……"

Before she had time to say anything, she realized that the speed of the camera could no longer keep up with the actions of the Master Chief. The latter did not use a rifle, but used a sliding shovel to pull out No.1's throat while running. While throwing the dagger on the ground, he threw the dagger again. This time, the dagger passed through the lamp tube on the guard's gun, completely destroying it!

Throw the dagger, get up and charge—uppercut!

The Sergeant Chief's fist hit the No.3 guard's chin viciously, and the guard was knocked unconscious by the blow, but the subsequent mandible fracture, soft tissue damage and heavy bleeding drowned out his painful murmurs. in blood.

The last person successfully turned on the light tube on the gun. Of course, this action is very simple, just flip the switch with your fingers, but within a short second of him flipping the switch, the three of them were dead!The lights came on, and what appeared in front of the last guard were three corpses and a strong man over two meters tall...

"What are you—"

The rest of the guard's words were choked by one hand. The Master Chief slammed his gun away with his left hand, and lifted it up with his right hand. With the crisp cracking sound, the guard's body went limp.

The Master Chief twisted his neck, stretched his body, reached out to take the rifle hanging on his back in his hand, and walked in the direction of the central control room. Behind him, the Spartans spread out like eagles. Accompany like wings.

A few seconds later, there were only dozens of dead bodies and a rifle with a light on. The latter was lying alone on the ground, illuminating the entire slaughterhouse.

"...you are a bit beyond my imagination, but I must also admit that what you said is right, Master Chief...you are indeed a little wilder than I imagined."

Cortana's voice rang in the ears of the Master Chief, who just smiled slightly, accepting Cortana's praise, and then he led the Spartans towards the central control room...

"..."

Time0415

The Spartan Phase II test operation has ended, the rebel space station has been suppressed, and the UNSC Marine Corps has begun to enter the field to control order.

Chapter 86 The Master Chief's Way ([-])

On November 2525, 11 in the military calendar, the fourth planet of the X-Cetus galaxy, the UNSC Damascus material testing base.

The Spartans got their "new toy," but...

"John, you don't seem happy," Halsey looked at the Master Chief who had already completed most of the tests, and said with some annoyance, holding his helmet under his armpit:

"I just think the armor is a little weak. It's good, but it doesn't give me a qualitative sense of security."

"Mjolnir is already the best that the UNSC can do at present...Greedy boy, use it first," Halsey patted the Master Chief's arm with some dissatisfaction, "I have referred to your suggestion, A layer of nano lining and a separate life support system have been added between the armor and your skin. On the armor, the developers have also added jets, but they can only be used in the atmosphere, and the duration will not It’s very long, if it’s used as an airborne recoil device, it’s okay, but it’s impossible to fly more freely.”

"If you want to maneuver in space for a short distance, you must mount an additional backpack. The output of Thor's Hammer armor is not enough to support the engine to operate for a long time, and this will also increase the weight of the armor. The gain outweighs the gain... And you said The old shield, wait, we are analyzing it now, and you should be able to use the Covenant Lite version soon."

Saying that, Halsey reached out and handed the Master Chief a chip. The latter was taken aback for a moment, then put on the helmet, and inserted the chip into the slot at the back of the helmet, just as he expected——

"Hello, Master Chief."

Cortana's extremely energetic voice entered the ears of the Sergeant Chief. At this moment, the latter had a strange feeling as if Cortana was hugging his neck from behind and blowing air. After sighing from the bottom of his heart, the Sergeant The chief lowered his head and asked Halsey:

"so……"

"This was originally part of the plan. If it wasn't impossible, I even wanted to equip every Spartan soldier with an artificial intelligence," Halsey said, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, showing Said with a hint of sarcasm:

"Could it be...you hate Cortana?"

"...I see, Cortana and I work well together," the Master Chief, aware of Halsey's "sinister intentions," replied quickly, ignoring Cortana's chatter in his ear voice, then said:

"I found a great venue here."

"Someone wants to see how well you cooperate with Thor's Hammer, but don't worry, the guy who suggested the last action has already gone to clean the toilet, this time you can use it without any scruples... It will take a few days Are you adapting?"

Halsey looked at the Master Chief with some concern. The latter raised his hand and slowly twisted his waist. After confirming the current state of his body, he said to the person in front of him:

"I don't think so, and to be precise, I feel good enough to be able to do anything."

"I like your confidence, John, so the test will start in six hours, on court one, how?"

"Ok."

Looking at the back of Halsey leaving, the Master Chief exhaled slowly, there are still six hours... However, he plans to try to use this armor to make some coffee for himself first, after all, after getting off the battleship, He hadn't eaten for a long time.

Compared with the Sergeant Chief who seemed a little calm, Cortana was surprised. She found that Thor's Hammer power armor, or this type of power armor, matched the Master Chief far better than others!While the other Spartans were still trying to run and climb over obstacles while wearing armor, the Master Chief was already able to pinch a soft candy cube with two fingers and throw it into the coffee——

The candy didn't even deform in the slightest!

If this is normal or not so difficult in the eyes of ordinary people, but under the perception of Cortana, an artificial intelligence living in the data world, the Master Chief can do it in less than an hour. Li perfectly adapted to Thor's Hammer, a power armor that was directly connected to the nerves. This speed almost made people think that he had worn similar armor for many years... But anyway, the adaptation speed was frighteningly fast!

Cortana blinked, growing more curious about the Master Chief.

"Master Chief, why do you have so many secrets?"

"I don't have any secrets, Cortana," the Master Chief responded nonchalantly, puffing on his hot coffee and sipping it slowly as Stan, on the other side of the ring, was trying to wrestle. Badas, some of them wanted to eat something like the Master Chief, but with a little force, the powerful force brought by Thor's Hammer armor would crush the food, so they had no choice but to put aside other thoughts for the time being. Try to control your power.

Of course, with their abilities, it doesn't take long.

Six hours later, test site No. [-].

The Master Chief stood in a tent with his hands hanging down naturally. He didn't carry any weapons on his body, and the goal of the test was also very simple. From here, it was enough to arrive at the designated location within half an hour.

"Master Chief," came Cortana's voice, "the test will begin in thirty seconds."

"Okay..." The Master Chief nodded slightly, but he had already heard the sound of small footsteps. There were five voices in total, which were heavier than normal people's footsteps. It seemed that they were wearing heavy protective gear, and it could not be ruled out that there was a suggestion of motivation. The condition of the bones.
