"We are the firefighters." Without hesitation, he gestured to Cole, who dropped the machine gun with empty ammunition and picked up the honeycomb launcher—"So go where we are needed most."

A cursor scanned Beta at the gate from Li De's eyes, and then locked on to the target. A long-running miniature Thai nuclear missile spewed out from the launcher on Cole's shoulder, perhaps only the thickness of a thumb, but It is better than the large number.Each warhead was aimed at a shimmering marker, and a hail of barrage blasted the gate into a sea of ​​green flames to give them a break.

Everyone retreated, and the heavy door closed to lock Beta outside, giving this deadly battle a half-time break.Several members of the Delta team leaned against the wall and gasped for breath to regain some strength, and were about to continue to rush upstairs, but after turning their heads, they realized that they were not the worst.

Guardsmen... Unlike the Delta Squad who wore the booster armor suits, the hard space suits, where one layer breaks and dies, are no more protective than a piece of body armor.The flesh and blood of mortals fought desperately against the influence of the low gravity of the lunar surface, fighting monsters who did not fear death.For a moment, Marcus and the others felt that they had returned to the old battlefield. They saw the tired and wounded soldiers lying in the corridor, and they couldn't help themselves sobbing everywhere.

Seeing Li De pass by, a second lieutenant with a military grade painted on his shoulder stood up and saluted, while a medical soldier next to him was treating a wounded man who had lost his arm. The vacuum decompression drained most of the blood before the damage was blocked, and the medical staff were doing blood transfusions in vain, but the electrocardiogram showed only a straight line.

This scene made the proud Bud speechless for a while. As the designer of the space suit, he hardly dared to look at the young face of the deceased, but the officer didn't seem to notice it. He firmly stated that he would lead the soldiers to guard this area. But in the end, he couldn't help but ask——

"Leader..." The officer's eyes under the glass visor were red, and he didn't know whether it was from hatred or sadness. "Without the fortress, we will be trapped in the atmosphere, right? Is there a future for human beings?"

"No."

Li De said frankly, then the second lieutenant seemed relieved, he turned his head to look at his brother, and shouted with his voice in the fortress with oxygen: "Then we can die, but we can't lose!"

...

As the Delta team left in the elevator, Marcus glanced back.There was loneliness in the veteran's eyes, he had seen too much impassioned: "You keep them there, but they can't hold on to such a small number of people."

"Yes." Li De didn't lie, "But we need someone to buy time."

Marcus was silent, and the elevator continued to climb. They adjusted their equipment, but when the door opened, he asked again: "In war, what are soldiers? Pawns, or tools? Your orders, for them What is it?"

The elevator opened, and Li De picked up the chainsaw sword and walked into the wide and bright corridor first. He didn't rush to answer what Marcus meant, but turned around suddenly, and clicked on Marcus's armor: "You are a soldier yourself, You can figure it out for yourself."

Then, he looked at the three of them and pointed to the fortress hall where the alarm was flashing: "Now, we still have work!"

---

"Warning, the wall in area C1 is damaged, the air pressure is unbalanced, blockade, repeat, blockade..."

The heavy baffle dropped from the ceiling and hit the floor heavily, and the crimson blast-proof wall formed a warning sign.And in the wide corridor, a pair of bipedal engineering mechas arrived here with heavy steps, lifting tons of steel plates, but they were not intended to reinforce the walls, but were laid along the corridors, with drills driven into thick rivets, restricting Stay on the path of possible breakout points.

Messy footsteps were running back and forth, and the soldiers guarding the base ran in small steps on their "crackling" magnetic boots. The temporary firepower point had been set up, and at this time there were some strange and orderly steps in the messy footsteps—— A small group of black-armored and black-robed black hands walked into the hallway with a tall woman in the center. They carried menacing weapons, not only jars full of Tiberium solution, but also shining plasma weapons.

The person who came was General Olivia... Unlike usual, she was fully armed at this time, with a mask covering her face, and her body was wrapped in armor of unknown material.And with her arrival, some passages were tightened and blocked, and the guards loaded their bullets and fixed themselves on the fortifications.

The blast door...is deforming, protruding, and there is a violent knocking and snapping sound.All this was seen by the general, she grabbed the fortifications with one hand and fixed herself, without ordering, the sticky explosives were pasted on the most deformed doors.

The general doesn't like being raided - she opened the cover of the remote control with her thumb, and said in a deep voice:

"Adjust your respiratory system...ready to welcome guests!"

The explosives on the explosion-proof door flashed suddenly, and there was a loud noise. As soon as the splashed flames emerged, they were sucked away by the ruthless vacuum.The defenders gritted their teeth to prevent themselves from being taken away by the air sucked out from the blasting point. In the moment of struggling to hold on, they saw the monsters at the entrance of the cave were blown to pieces by the strong airflow and flew into the vacuum like toys. The loss of a thousand cubic meters of air made for a spectacular scene, but unfortunately it wasn't long enough.

"Area c2, the air pressure is out of balance."

The corridor suddenly became a vacuum, and the communication was switched to radio—the air pressure blew away the beta in the gap, and a few seconds later, a wriggling soldier-class exposed its head at the wall.

A blast of dazzling plasma hit its face, and a burst of white mist burned instantly~ Olivia put down the ion pistol in her left hand, and slowly pulled out a long knife with an almost transparent edge in her right hand, and when it When the refracting light was turned on, the light around General Olivia seemed to be distorted.

The defense force on the third floor is fully fired!

Irena...

If you can hear me, then wake up.

I need you...we all need you!

There is a voice calling to me, as if from afar, melodious and deep.

She knew whose voice it was, but she had stayed here for too long, and she didn't know how to get out, and occasionally woke up in a daze.The leader once said that this is called fugue, but she doesn't understand Chinese, and she doesn't have the patience to wait.And when she became agitated, Aenea carefully looked at this girl who was similar to herself, and hesitated to speak.

The relationship between the two cannot be called friendly, but Irena's strength is somewhat complementary to the submissive Aenea. Therefore, even though she is still wary of the other party being a "spy", Aenea still tries road:

"You...can't wake up?"

Irena nodded blankly. Although the latter was a little surprised, she already understood the other party who didn't like to use their brains, so she whispered: "I don't want to be friends with you, so don't say it."

"You need... coordinates!"

Irena's mind was shaken as if enlightened, her eyes shone brightly, and she wanted to hug her new friend in surprise, but suddenly found that the other party had disappeared without a trace.

wow-

Accompanied by the sound of water and the violent opening of the top of the steel tank, the young body was forcibly dragged out.The artificial amniotic fluid can send oxygen directly to the lungs, but when Aenea, who was taken out by the violence, came into contact with the air, her lungs coughed in severe pain because of the air bubbles brought into her lungs.She vomited, and tears flowed down because of the pain, but those people didn't care at all, wrapped her in a towel and quickly took her away.

"Aenea!"

A female voice was shouting, pleading, and was pushed down by the blue hats again.At this time, the officer watching upstairs was holding two experimental comparison reports, so excited that his fingers were trembling.

"Our plan is successful. This is a great victory for our motherland and for the entire ALternative III (choice 3) plan. Our ESP test subjects have communicated with unknown civilizations!"

"It's not mechanical cruelty, it's not cruel malice, it's communication, dialogue! We are right, we have grasped this advantage before any country!"

The officer gasped heavily, and it took him a long time to restrain his excitement.He pretended to be harsh and reprimanded his subordinates for their rude behavior, and demanded 24-hour monitoring of the two subjects, and then called in his adjutant——

"Get the plane ready, I will personally report this document to the Supreme Soviet."

PS: I feel like I am jumping back and forth on the verge of death. How to keep the plot from collapsing in the future is a question worth thinking twice.

Chapter 49 Reinforcements have arrived, and the counterattack begins

Life is priceless.

It cannot be exchanged for any wealth, material, or reputation. Human life is only once, so precious, and so fragile, it is worth protecting with everything we have.

But... In other words, isn't something that is priceless at some level worthless?

People fight and die.The fortress was besieged, beta entered the base, and fought fiercely with the soldiers - the general's arrangement played its value to a certain extent, the artificially created narrow space restricted the monsters' progress, and they only Some rushed up against the firepower according to the path that General Olivia had arranged for them, and then were torn to pieces in the hail of bullets.

The engineering mecha used its heavy body to hold two thick steel plates to form a shield wall in front of it, and firmly adsorbed the floor with electromagnetic effects.Heavy weapons were assigned to the outer defenses, and the guards inside the fortress could only greet with electromagnetic rifles in their hands. Magnetized steel nails formed a metal storm in the narrow passage—the .22 caliber spikes had puffed ends The base of the beta, when the sharp spikes pierced the thick skin of the beta, and then turned up inside the torso.

The kinetic energy of the electromagnetic rifle is much greater than that of gunpowder gas, and the small species fell under the barrage, and then were trampled into meat sauce.The riflemen fought and retreated. The empty magazines fell to the ground. They stepped back and took out new magazines. This gap in firepower was replaced by the black hands of the general's personal guards. The high-temperature metal jet pierced through a whole row of monsters, and the high-temperature gas hindered their actions and gave the soldiers a little time to react.

"Area C can't be defended anymore."

Humans have been suppressed to the end of the corridor, and the firepower of automatic weapons has been firing continuously for more than half an hour.For more than half an hour, they have tried their best to hold on for such a long time. No one knows how many tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition have been fired in this narrow corridor. The walls are full of bullet holes, and the corpse of beta is almost blocking the passage. The blood deposited more than ten centimeters on the ground, almost submerging the soldiers' ankles.They stepped on a sea of ​​blood and slowly retreated, but the enemy did not stop, endless.

The plasma pistol in Olivia's hand rhythmically stimulated high-temperature deuterium ions. She couldn't remember how many monsters were killed by her gun. She fired and reloaded mechanically. The high temperature of the leaked plasma burned her left hand red. , the carbonization of the biomimetic tissue reveals the skeleton of the alloy.Olivia didn't care that much, but she sensed something was wrong when she pulled the trigger again, and immediately threw the pistol out!

The exploding plasma fireball proved the general's wisdom, but several black arms suddenly protruded from the boundless corpse - fighter-level tentacles suddenly protruded from a distance of more than ten meters, the general was caught off guard and had only time to draw his knife and chop it off Flying towards their own, several guard soldiers screamed and were dragged towards the swarm, and they could only watch this happen.

"retreat..."

Olivia closed her eyes, suppressing the anger in her heart and shouting.But before she finished speaking, a few black shadows suddenly flew out from her side—the light of the rocket launcher flashed in her eyes, and these black shadows rushed into the beta group fiercely, holding the chainsaw aloft The long sword cut off the fighter's arm and saved the guards.Olivia recognized these jet-black armors, and even more so, the leader.

Here he comes, as he said...

Olivia didn't know whether it was joy or some kind of emotion, but immediately she held her shock knife with both hands, and her body was ready to go like a tight bowstring—"The guard soldiers retreated to Area B to rectify their equipment, strengthen Line of defense!"

The door of the corridor opened, and the deadly guards crowded the airtight room. When the heavy automatic door closed, the general pointed his blade obliquely at the ground. Livia left and right.When the power was turned on, the crystal on the blade vibrated thousands of times per second, and the blade stretched forward brightly.

"Victory...or death!"

Olivia took a step towards Beta, raised the long knife to separate the head of a soldier class, and then swung down in the air to chop up a chariot class with its mouth.Twenty or so black hands formed a wall of blades and followed the general into the tide of beta, blood and flesh flew everywhere, they played the black hand's all-around skills - the corridors were narrow, corpses piled up, betas were crowded together and couldn't play. Their impact, the large-area attack and stopping power of cold weapons were brought to the extreme under the blessing of the exoskeleton armor, and they blocked the attack for a while, and retreated a few meters with the Delta team led by Li De as the spearhead.

"Damn... what are you doing here!"

Li De pierced the chariot-level body with the chainsaw sword from top to bottom, and the flesh and blood brought out by the rotating saw teeth covered him all over.Using the corpse as a barrier, Marcus and others took his place so that he could retreat to Olivia's side.

Of course he would be angry, Olivia is not as good as he is immortal, if the battle situation changes, he has no ability to bring people back from the dead.However, the reprimand was meaningless to the other party. Olivia dodged the crowding arms and worked together with Li De to strangle another fighter, saying at the same time:

"The first floor of the fortress has been breached, Area A has fallen, the defenders have been wiped out, and beta is attacking Area B! I asked the guards to defend the second floor, but if Area C on the third floor is lost, it will be flanked by two sides. There is no chance of winning!"

At the same time, Olivia also broke out her emotions in a rare way - "I can die, but I will never wait to die!"

Li De was speechless, while Cole on the side exclaimed: "What, the whole army was wiped out? We just left not long ago!"

"Dozens of lives are lost just like that..."

Marcus was silent, and Bud smiled wryly: "The fortress has been breached in many places, and our manpower is simply not enough. It is impossible to cover everything... But what does it matter, we are almost there, it's just a matter of time."

The black hands were enraged, and Miles snapped: "Shut up, you defeatist! Even if we all die in battle, the final victory will not change!"

"Ah, I'm really sorry. I can't control my mouth. I always like to tell the truth that you don't like to hear, but I still want to say that we can't change the reality without reinforcements!"

Bud retorted, and Li De and Olivia stopped the quarrel together - the fighting was still going on, although the front line was barely stabilized, but the casualties of the black hand were also increasing, and there was an endless sea of ​​insects in front of them.

But at this moment, Bud suddenly remembered something: "You said that the first floor has fallen, so wouldn't my laboratory be crawled by bugs too? Where's the girl?"

"Irena!"

Li De and Olivia looked at each other, and the latter shook her head: "She hasn't woken up, but I have sealed off the laboratory."

"And if she wakes up..."

---

That would be a scene like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood——

Densely flying razor bee swarms swept across the hall, they cut open Beta's body, drilled into the flesh, and cut into countless pieces from the inside out. Betas, whether small or large, their attacks are meaningless against the dense razor bee colony, because their key advantage, numbers, has been reversed by another way.

The silver blade-shaped bee swarm flapped its wings, and the air inside the fortress allowed these deadly weapons to act (useless in a vacuum). In and out of flesh and blood.They cling to the corpse like parasites. The restored nanofluid is speeding up to replicate itself, and the devourer is swallowed instead. It melts into a flowing silver liquid that flows on the floor and gathers at the feet of a person.

These devoured and transformed new nano-machines supplemented her own losses... Irena opened her eyes, and she looked at the survivors of the Guards who were sitting paralyzed in front of her and were frightened out of their wits. Their bodies were gradually raised—visible to the naked eye. Growing up, she grew rapidly from a little girl to a tall woman with quite...

"General Olivia?"

The second lieutenant struggled to stand up with his guns—they didn't have enough authority, but it was the first time they saw the rumored "Secret of the Supreme Council". these few survivors.The originally unstoppable monster was slaughtered like melons and vegetables by this new "monster". The scene was so horrifying that one could doubt that this was a dream.

"Are you looking for my sister? But I'm not!"

Irena seemed very happy to be misunderstood as her sister. She looked around, and suddenly looked upstairs, as if she had found her target——until now she still didn’t know what “coordinates” meant, but if she could see If she had seen the color, she was sure that she saw the sun that appeared in the dream.

"I'm sorry, I overslept and caused so many of you to die."

She patted the second lieutenant on the shoulder and stuck out her tongue: "However, it's all right."

"Ask why? Because I'm here!"

---

"The fort is under siege."

When the jet of the hoverbike sank to the ground with the silver-gray power armor, a whole team of special forces wearing heavy armor appeared next to the convoy as if descending from the sky.Rows of armored vehicles and trucks carried the soldiers who rushed back from the lunar junction. More than 500 people—five times the strength of the fortress garrison troops—finally appeared within the visual range of the battlefield.

They can see the artillery fire not far away, the railgun barrages fired from the Nibelungen and the lasers that intercept these barrages, and they can even see the fortress crawling with betas like ants, and countless radio waves calling for help. The public channel was shut down, and the defense line was crumbling.

The armored vehicle opened, and Colonel Malashenko poked his head out and saw Major General Kanifik, and hurriedly saluted the general.

"There is no time, Colonel, lead your men to press up, the fortress needs our help."

Kanifik raised his hand to the sky, and the wristband transmitter fired a shining signal flare, not only a light, but also a broadcast to the defenders of the fortress——

"Reinforcements have arrived, and the counterattack begins!"

PS: I didn't sleep well for the past two days, I couldn't update yesterday, I went to the hospital today, got angry, gingivitis, angular cheilitis, the problem is not big, the condition is very poor.

Sometimes the little things in life can mess you up.
