People's Federation will live forever

"No wonder you're all right, you cracked the security system, didn't hurt you at all just now, right? It's really...advanced technology, no wonder the government is so afraid of you... But don't think about it, the launch control is independent, and the power supply is also independent A closed system, no matter how powerful your electronic warfare is, it will be of no use!"

The corner of Padek's mouth twitched. He himself didn't want to have any more quarrels with this dying man. This man's mind is now full of his wife on the ground, until a message jumped in front of him.

"It's sad." He sighed, his eyes hurting Loomis, and the latter's laughter stopped abruptly-"We are all ghosts of the old war, and there was no difference between each other. In fact, until just now, I have lost to you."

"But you are just an old man who can't see the situation clearly, but since you didn't aim the missile at civilians, it's okay to tell you." Pedek threw the dying Loomis to the ground, doing the last Answer, "There are people who can do things I can't do, and they do it every time. If there is a savior in this world, maybe they are the ones."

In another underground space not far from this control room, the high-temperature steam caused by the rocket ignition spewed out from the hole dug by the Pulverizer. Wu Wei communicated with the engineers with a communicator despite the high temperature. Immediately, they began to search for the control module, and at this time the explosion-proof door of the launch port above the head was slowly opening under the pull of the mechanical winch.

"General, we still have a chance! The explosion-proof door is not opening smoothly due to lack of maintenance. In theory, the launch system must open the channel before starting the main engine!"

The saboteurs were busy on the console for a while, but they didn't have time to simulate the launch key, so the only chance now was to stop the missile in the most procedural way.

"Just tell me where to fight!"

Speaking of which, Wu Wei took a bazooka from the commandos, lifted it up and aimed it at the ceiling - right in front of them, the steel support on the high platform had been released, and a 20-meter-high, snow-white missile had been prepared Launch preparations, blue-white flames lead from the bottom to an underground waterway, white water vapor diffuses, and the indoor temperature here has risen to more than 200 degrees Celsius. Excluding the saboteurs, the commandos wearing power armor also began to feel uncomfortable.

Wu Wei's skin was hot and red, and the water vapor made the sight lose its function. He had to endure extreme pain every second, but this kind of work can only be done by himself, a genetically enhanced person.There is only one rocket, and everyone has only one life.

There is no need for chicken soup-like monologues here, and there is no need to highlight the urgency of the situation and how many people's lives are at stake. When the sun gradually shines from the zenith, there are only simple things like aiming, calculating the trajectory, and pulling the trigger. The general of the defense army didn't hesitate for a moment, as if it was just a matter of course.When the booster grenade came out of the barrel, a violent explosion occurred on the stone wall of the zenith.

"boom!"

The echo of the explosion echoed under the circular dome, and a large piece of rubble fell, smashing the console and injuring an engineer. However, the sound of the rusted winch "clicking" after the explosion was completely clear. Stopped, and then a series of shrill sirens rang through the hall.

The missile... flamed out, left alone, its last chance to shine was lost in the long wait and oblivion.The emergency abort program faithfully carried out its mission, as it was originally designed, without malfunctioning due to the years—this was what Wu Wei was most worried about, and finally this worry dissipated along with the pervasive steam.

"It worked..." Wu Wei dropped the launcher, touched his blistered face, and laughed.The commandos beside him burst into cheers, and the emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts for hours were instantly released at this moment.

More troops and engineers rushed in from the entrance of the cave, Wu Wei ignored them, just looked at the sunlight shining on the zenith and muttered to himself: "Although it is very valuable, this kind of gamble should be done less often." .”

The information travels at the speed of light to everyone, the island base, the mainland base, and every eye of truth brotherhood terminal in the vagrant camp, everyone will know about it, a new victory for the brothers, a victory for granted , but the joy of victory is never enough.

"The crisis is lifted, and the Hammer of Dawn lifts its combat readiness."

In front of Olivia, Li De clapped his illusory hands and gave applause that shouldn't exist. He smiled and said to Olivia, and the latter also nodded slightly for success——

"Congratulations to our General Wu Wei, and congratulations to our fraternity for having another qualified leader."

PS: This damn branch line is finally over, and the time gap with "Gears of War 1" has been filled in anyway. I blame me for not considering the difficulty of the branch line plot. Now I can return to the main line to accept the protagonist.

Chapter No.16 Seeing Yourself

"Woo~"

The whistle of the ship was high-pitched and loud, and the Lieyang Silver Eagle flag flying on the bow was shining brightly. The ships that were originally used to transfer civilians were now beginning to transfer batches of prisoners.None of those who fought to the death survived. These dejected surrendered soldiers will be transported to the mainland for "reform". As for how to transform these people into soldiers needed by the Defense Forces, it depends on Li De's wishes.

Three hours after the crisis was lifted, the cleanup of the island was completed. After counting, the total population of the island reached 700 people, most of whom were women and children— ——If Loomis, the security spy, has done anything good, it is to maintain the order of the island. Take these populations off the Fraternity of Truth.

Therefore, in order to thank him for his achievements, for this enemy Li De personally ordered him to be buried under his real name "Loomis", while on the other hand a security spy named "Ales" attempted to use photon missiles Stories of Lai and the Brotherhood's death were also widely reported.For these people who have been under the management of Allers for nearly 14 years, it is undoubtedly an unimaginable thing, especially after their husband and the father of the child died loyally for the leader, this pain became even more painful. strong.

The hatred for the intruders made them suspect that this was just a story fabricated by the Brotherhood to deceive them, but when the urgently disassembled warhead was loaded on the cargo ship in front of the crowd, and the fact that "Ales" was a security spy After being highlighted, half-truths, half-false and intentionally left blank information impacted their concepts-yes, what else can a security government that can personally kill 90.00% of its own citizens not do?This is very reasonable. The sufferings that he and others have suffered are undoubtedly Wei An's fault. It is not wrong to splash some dirty water on them!

"The best way to unite the majority is to have a common enemy. The people don't need the truth, they just need a target to vent their emotions on."

Wu Wei, who seemed to be covered in wounds, was sitting in the medical room of the temporary camp with many captives and wounded. The saboteurs cut off his festering skin, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.Treatment is unnecessary for him, but the people like to see big people like themselves.

While doing all this, he is using his quantum sub-brain to communicate secretly, and the noise outside seems to have nothing to do with him. On the spiritual level, he is currently having a meeting with Li De and others.

"Congratulations, General Wu Wei, congratulations on all levels."

This time there was no objection, even Olivia and Ensig sent congratulations, the meaning of which is self-evident-he has become a regular, on various levels.

So he humbly accepted these congratulations and mentioned more: "I hope this warhead will help the cause of the Brotherhood, as well as this island, the people here don't trust us enough, and the Defense Force may still We will be stationed here for a period of time to stabilize the situation."

Li De agreed with this: "Every step is not without value. Vian's photonic technology is of great value to us, but it is better to leave this to Ensig. Now we need to discuss the future. development of."

"As I expected, history is on the right track, and the giant wheel that has been stagnant for a long time is starting to turn. Whether it can be diverted depends on whether we act quickly."

...

The airflow generated by the parallel rotors of the hammerhead shark helicopter cleaned the tarmac cleanly. After landing smoothly according to the instructions on the ground, Liszt jumped off first, and then stretched out his hands to hug Anna who was wearing a gray uniform. up the plane.

Taking the helicopter for the second time, Anna looked around with a pale face, and couldn't hide her surprise on her face: "This... is the base?"

They have seen many war-torn cities over the years, but this place looks completely different-after a week of expansion, what appeared in front of them was a city completely constructed of steel and concrete, no matter how oval The obelisk-shaped tower is still a building, and even the ground under the feet is filled with matte-treated silver-gray stainless steel materials.Anna didn't know how to describe it, but Mr. Brown behind her expressed emotion.

"Did you pop out of a sci-fi movie?"

Liszt didn't know which movie Brown was talking about, but the expressions of all the people who had just arrived at the base were not much different. What they saw was beyond their imagination. Rows of drones flew over high-rise buildings , there are military vehicles and soldiers patrolling the widened road, and occasionally, they can still see huge humanoid mechs striding forward.

"I hope you can get used to life here." Liszt said, and he beckoned a disarmed Pitbull jeep, "Otherwise, it will be spectacular if you go to the hive capital of the Blue-Eyed Islands in the future."

When sending Anna and the others to the car, the red-haired girl stopped him.

"Liszt, you brought us here for no reason, did you?"

The girl's eyes are extremely clear, and she seems to be able to see her heart through them. Even if Liszt is Li De's clone, she can see many complicated emotions from it.There is concern, but also understanding. It is said that girls in love are extra sensitive. It seems that Anna has already guessed the purpose of her trip.

But before he could speak, Anna took the initiative to come up, and the girl who was a head shorter than her stood on tiptoe and kissed Liszt gently on the face.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

After leaving these words, Anna hid in the car with a smile, her cheeks flushed and she stopped looking at herself.Brown on the side twitched in the laughter of the crowd, lamenting that the female college students were not allowed to stay.In such a cheerful atmosphere, the jeep sped away, leaving the lonely Liszt covering his face, and his logic fell into chaos.

At this time, a sound of leather boots stomping on the ground came from behind him, and he turned around, only to see a man in a black coat who was almost exactly the same as himself, appearing behind him from nowhere. Immediately, all the surrounding soldiers saluted, showing the dignity of the visitor.

"How do you feel? The cloned me?"

The voice of the incoming person seemed to be in my ears, and seemed to sound in the logic matrix in my brain. There was no accident that it was my own body, the supreme leader of the brotherhood.

I don't need to salute myself, even if I have been separated from my id, I will eventually return to the sea of ​​consciousness of the noumenon.

But Liszt did not answer right away. Unlike the countless split selves of the Intelligent Control Legion, he has higher authority: "It will be safer to let Anna come here, but I don't know how to deal with Aisha, and the two of them are We're going to meet..."

Li De laughed loudly: "Although you have inherited my memory, you are just a half-month-old child. You have to learn these by yourself. Besides, you have to transfer the two of them while Olivia is in the Blue Eye Islands." Come here and don't tell her, otherwise I will have a hard time dealing with this."

Liszt didn't speak again, which made Li De a little bit self-defeating, so he had to beckon: "Let's go, this is not a place to talk. Marcus Phoenix is ​​about to be released from prison, and I can no longer come to the front line in person, so this matter I have to give it to you."

Chapter No.17 The Macho Man's Appearance Show

Marcus Phoenix is ​​upset because something is disturbing his sleep.

For the first time, he was awakened by the sound of gunfire.

The ground was trembling, and the building under him was shaking, and a lot of cement dust fell on his face like chaff.However, this is not over yet. He heard the explosion of shells falling on the roof. The ceiling was peeled off in pieces and then smashed to the ground with bricks and stones. The chaos was mixed with subtle screams. prison guard.

Of course, Marcus will not sympathize with these people. As a veteran, he can hear the caliber and direction of the explosion and the landing point of the artillery with his eyes closed-the UIR standard 105mm infantry gun, Vian does not use this thing, that means What I was most worried about in the past happened.

Nearly a hundred prisoners on the upper and lower floors of the prison began to panic. They shook the shackles on their hands and smashed the iron gate where they were held, cursing the black-armored guards who only wanted to escape. The knocking and shouting of "Bang Dang" formed a wave, as if it was about to break through the cage that bound them, and at this moment——

The power went out and the lights went out.It's three in the morning, and a hopeless darkness takes hold of the world, making the living even more hysterical.This military prison detains "unforgivable" serious criminals, and its defense is internal rather than external. If the orcs have already entered the city center, it is only a matter of time before the fall of this place.

In this regard, Marcus turned over, put the shackles in a comfortable position and continued to sleep. The sound of the cannon was just a lullaby, and even if he was crushed to death by falling stones, it was just a relief.

The tough guy continued to sleep deeply, and tens of kilometers away from the place where the artillery roared, another pair of eyes was also looking at this place. He witnessed the fireworks blooming among the buildings, and the city was on fire. Hunted like headless chickens by marauders.Fierce firefights were taking place in the streets and alleys, and Liszt heard with his own ears that the gunshots from the Wei'an side were suppressed little by little, and then there was no more waves.

Not knowing how many residents there are in this city, Liszt can only say sorry, now he is really powerless to save them.He also came all the way here, but he didn't bring any troops with him.

"There are so many cannons, although the caliber is not large, but the orcs have also begun to learn."

While talking to himself, he slowly raised his right hand to the sharp sword that was straddling behind him.The drone visually connected to him has already flown over the orc artillery positions. Unlike the battle of Orton City, which only had mortars, the orcs seem to have set up a position on the outskirts of the city. Their artillery looks like Simple and rough, it is not fixed with a gun mount, but carried by a small monster, forming a biochemical self-propelled gun.

Although every shot almost knocked the camel beasts upside down, and the accuracy of this kind of shooting is not to be talked about, it undoubtedly filled the gap in their heavy firepower.In the battle of Orton City, the orcs relied on the mine beasts, which became a living target for the air force when they faced the Brotherhood. The slow floating booby traps did not have any effect, but they made up for their long-range firepower in a month. To the surprise of the fraternity—Liszt was thinking about this question, did they also establish a military factory underground?

Let them go, it would be foolishly confident if they hoped that this would threaten the Brotherhood who were already mass-producing mammoth tanks.But these artillery have hindered his mission, and he has to take action before everything gets worse.

Liszt drew a Nash shotgun from his back—he chose local weapons for the convenience of foreign work, and in this regard, Scylla's design of light weapons far surpassed that of the Brotherhood.The ammunition was loaded, he pulled up the hood, and the fine current spread all over his body, until the scenery behind him was reflected in front, and the light quantum invisibility cloak had been activated.

"Dom, I'll clear a way for you, you have to hurry up." Liszt said, and then disappeared into the night.

This operation has no code name.

...

"boom!"

Marcus opened his eyes again because of an earth-shattering explosion. Such a movement could only occur if the ammunition depot exploded and hundreds of shells exploded at the same time.This shock almost lifted him from the bed—although he had been in prison for a long time, he knew very well that the security army's management of ammunition was very strict.Interestingly, when he got up from the dirty bed with his drowsy head in his hands, he noticed that the orc bombardment of the city had also stopped.

"What the hell... did you win?"

he said, then shook his head as he heard a sickening sound outside the heavy iron gate.

Dragging the rattling shackles, he walked towards the cell door with bare feet.A slave smelled the smell and rushed to the door, with a "boom", the blind monster hit the wall, angrily scratched the iron door with its claws and made a teeth-piercing trembling sound.

Marcus glanced out the small window—"holy shit..." The old soldier frowned, and the bloody smell that filled in made his stomach queasy.

"I should go on sleeping."

But I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to do what he wanted. Outside the heavy iron gate, a pile of corpses several meters high has been erected in the hall where the prisoners used to roll their names. Five or six orcs turned into fish killers on the pier, holding sharp knives Bloody corpses were dragged from cell to cell.Those people tried desperately to escape before they fell asleep, but in fact none of them could escape.

Marcus counted silently in his heart, five orc miscellaneous soldiers, and a leader standing in the middle commanding.The orc was tall and strong, surrounded by an iron armor and holding a broad-bladed sword in his hand.And the orc butcher also found him, his gray brown eyes looked at Marcus, and he grinned an ugly smile, revealing his yellow teeth.

The corpse dragged by the miscellaneous soldiers was hung on a thin rope, a sharp knife was pierced into the abdomen and pulled down, and the internal organs fell into a large bucket with a clatter, and were taken away.This is both a slaughterhouse and a cafeteria. The corpses put down were chopped into several pieces by the big knife. Some orcs wanted to steal a bite and were punched by the butcher.They are busy in front of their own eyes, deliberately wanting to let themselves see the whole process.

Facing such a hellish scene, Marcus was just silent.The reason why he was left behind was because he, a special prisoner, was hard to open—he was thinking like this, as if the butcher had seen through his mind, and the latter grabbed the corpse of an official from the ground and took a bunch of shiny keys.

"It seems that there is no way to hide."

He took a few steps back, clutching the chains of the shackles in his palms.The miscellaneous soldier carrying the key came towards him. He heard the metal sound of the key colliding. The orc's clumsy fingers finally found the keyhole, and the axle of the door lock started to turn with a click.

How much he wanted to step out of this cage, but he never hoped that when he regained his freedom, he would be greeted by this kind of guy.An orc miscellaneous soldier opened the door with a thick iron sharp knife, and the gray-skinned monster walked towards him with its mouth full of fangs, as if it wanted to tease him. He took the blood-stained dagger and wanted to dismember himself.

"Damn it."

Marcus' tone was never quick, and there was no emotion to be heard.The hulking man bent slightly, his eyes pointed straight at the tip of the knife.

"Mumble."

In the blink of an eye, the orc stabbed straight at him with a knife—"Dang!" The knife hit the iron chain and sparked sparks, and Marcus quickly wrapped the shackles around the orc's arm twice, with a strong force Twist the orc's phalanx!

"Roar!"

The orc roared and dropped the knife to try to break away, but a powerful elbow hit its face, knocking it into the wall!

One, two, three!Marcus's muscular arm was bulging with blue veins, and the orc's face had been sunken under all his strength. When he let go, he snatched the Thunderstorm Rifle from the waist of the soldier, loaded it and aimed it in one go, with a thunderous sound. After the gunshot, the cell exploded into a cloud of blood.

The change was so fast that the orcs outside the door were stunned.Marcus picked up the sharp knife from the ground to form a left-right match with the rifle, dragged his shackles and rushed out of the cell door, and pulled the trigger in mid-air with a swoop—

"Bang, bang, bang!"

His thick right arm fully bears the powerful recoil of the large-caliber projectile, and the hot bullets are whirling, each shot aiming at a miscellaneous soldier.Marcus was very aware of his situation. There were only five miscellaneous soldiers with guns, and the butcher seemed difficult to deal with, so he had to concentrate.

Without even a scream, the thumb-thick bullets accurately sliced ​​off the skulls of the miscellaneous soldiers. Marcus jumped in an arc in the air. When aiming at the butcher, he stopped firing and prepared to put all All the bullets poured out, and the trigger was pulled to the end!

"clang!"

Only one bullet was fired, and this bullet hit the butcher's shoulder armor and sparked, failing to break through the defense, and then there was the sound of the firing pin hitting empty—we all know that the orcs are so careless, and there are still bullets There are only a few rounds of ammunition left in the box!

An awkward atmosphere permeated the hall, and the corner of Marcus's mouth twitched, and then he threw the broken fire stick at the butcher.

"F**K!"

He hurriedly wanted to get up, but the shackles and leg shackles restricted his movement, and the blood fat flowing on the ground was like waxing, and it was difficult to use it.But at this time, there was a terrifying roar from behind, and the butcher strode towards him, and at the same time raised the broad-bladed sword in his hand and slashed at Marcus!

The ground was smashed into a big hole - he was lucky to use a roll to avoid a blow, but then another slash came from the top of his head!The butcher slashed frantically with one knife after another, and each knife was blocked by the iron chain in the human's hand, which made it even more furious.

The machete was raised again, and this time Marcus seized the opportunity to stretch out his feet. The machete between gold and iron cut off the shackles, and he stood up straight while the butcher had no time to retract the knife, holding The sharp knife was pushed upwards, and the tip of the knife pierced straight from the exposed chin to the forehead! (This butcher is not wearing a helmet)

The orc opened his mouth, but finally made no sound, the mountain-like corpse crashed down, and Marcus, who was panting heavily, was also sitting down—after four years of fighting, he was still not used to it, and he was able to cope with the current situation. The situation is already fortunate.

Looking around the empty hall, Marcus shook his tense arms, and said confused doubts: "What should I do next?"

Suddenly, the outer door of the hall was blasted open by an explosion, followed by a series of non-stop gunshots, mixed with the roar of orcs - Marcus looked towards the door, but saw a slave being kicked into the hall, Then a tall man with bare arms walked in through the door, holding a gun in one hand and dragging the corpse of an orc in the other, looking extremely sturdy.

The visitor glanced around the hall when he came in, but was shocked by the scene inside, and when he and Marcus looked into each other's eyes, both of them were shocked.

"Dom?!"

"Marcus?!"

Chapter 18. Deployment to the front line, goodbye Olivia
