Chapter 1311: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 79 (Part 2)

12 o'clock in the morning

Squeak

The door of the Congress Hall opened, and Gene walked out of the Congress Hall slowly. Behind him, Gary Locke pressed the double doors with both hands and looked at Gene with a serious face.

"The situation may be more complicated than you think."

Gene nodded.

"The situation has inevitably become worse. I'll leave the next response to you, Xiaopang."

Gary Locke hummed and nodded. Looking at Gene who was walking slowly towards the steps with his uniform lifted, Gary Locke closed the door. The action strategy of Section 3 has changed. After the last large-scale operation today, Congress will enter a discussion on how to deal with the next situation.

Some casualties have been reported, but Gary Locke knows that the situation is much worse than the numbers.

The Orchard Project has been put on the agenda. After discussing the countermeasures after the Barrier Zone operation, further discussion of the Orchard Project will be launched. This is what the gods asked. Locke also knows that this is to mitigate the impact of the Barrier Zone operation of the 3 departments on society. It must be announced, even if the plan is currently just a castle in the air and cannot be started. It is necessary.

Gene stood at the stairs, looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, overlooking everything in the city. He is going to the Barrier Zone now. Although he may not be able to solve anything, he can do something at the right time. The students are excellent, but they are also too young. When dealing with some problems, they are too limited. The problems that have arisen in the Barrier Zone are not so easy to solve.

Gene looked to the west on the right and the north behind the Congress. As long as these two areas cannot have bottomless gullies like the east and south, criminals can pass through. There must be loopholes. Now the sensing function of the phantom membrane is still being added, and it cannot be completed in a short time.

Once completed, the phantom membrane will cover the city like a huge transparent cover, and everything that enters and leaves the city, from a small water molecule to a large person, will be recorded.

The future needs more precise data to ensure it. Gene looked at the faint blue light flashing next to him. Under the strong sunlight, the blue light was so weak that it was almost invisible. Looking at the patterns on the pillars, many places were snowflakes. Gene didn't know why he chose the snowflake pattern.

"Snow?"

Gene took out a cigarette. He didn't know how many years he hadn't seen snowflakes. Looking at the snowflake carvings on the pillars, Gene felt a throbbing, and a girl's name always appeared in his mind, Tasia.

"Who are you? Tasia!"

When Gene first went to look for mimics in the past, he lost his way because the locator was damaged. All he remembered was the snowflakes all over the sky, and he couldn't remember anything afterwards. This matter is very important to Gene.

But no matter how hard Gene tried to recall, he could not remember anything. In his memory, he woke up in a mountain range, but he finally reached the highest point of the Himalayas, saw a glimmer of light in the dark, determined the location of the Brilliant City, and finally returned to the Brilliant City. But that memory could not be remembered no matter what.

Gene stepped down the stairs, and the light blue light on the right pillar stopped flickering. The fierce wind came towards him, stirring the corner of the uniform in Gene's hand. Gene looked at the city in front of him in a trance.

For Gene, the most important thing in his life was the agreement with others. There was only one possibility that he had agreed with this woman named Tasia on something extremely important, but he forgot it.

Gene walked down the stairs step by step. The wind was getting stronger and stronger. He had to go to the barrier area now. Although he might not be able to do anything, he could do something.

After stepping down the last step, Gene saw Mo Xiaolan sitting on the flower bed on the side of the General Affairs Building, holding her chin with both hands. Gene smiled at her, and Mo Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is everything okay?"

After Gene nodded, he half-crouched on the ground. Mo Xiaolan sighed, stood up, and directly called out a thick coat, lying on Gene's back.

"Sit tight, it will be there in about 20 minutes!"

Mo Xiaolan nodded and urged.

"Hurry up, it's so hot."

Gene smiled and shot out with a whoosh. In an instant, he had arrived at the edge of the General Affairs Square. Only some light blue particles fell in the sky under the sun.

1 o'clock in the afternoon

In the windy and sandy barrier area, a long team was moving. Ling Hong was still walking at the end of the team. The team did not encounter any problems during the movement. Instead, the speed of movement was accelerated. Because after today's battle, most of the teams can continue to march easily, and only a part will continue to stay to accurately draw the map of the barrier area.

The march only had the last battle of Jirigel left. Once it was won, it would be over. In just over a day, many people could no longer endure it. In such an environment, it was torture for many people.

In the distance, the mountains with only black outlines were getting closer and closer. The marchers took intermittent breaks, resting for 20 minutes after marching for one hour, and then started again. The more than 50 kilometers of the journey had already passed halfway.

Even in such a sandstorm, the team was still able to move quickly. Many staff members had already begun to adapt, because they had trained in the fortress area for a year in the past. It was normal to feel uneasy, anxious and irritable, but after the first day, the experience of the previous training came in handy.

Ling Hong glanced at the time and thought that it should be an hour earlier than the scheduled time. In this way, the group movement of the team could largely ignore the threat of sandstorms.

Obviously, it is easy to use transportation vehicles to arrive quickly, but this would lose the meaning of the march. The psychological significance of this march is far more important than Ling Hong imagined.

Although some people will sleep here for a long time and leave lifelong pain, most people have begun to face up to the significance of this march. In many cases, it is not possible to solve all problems with excellent weapons. The training of on-the-spot reaction ability during combat is also indispensable. Mechanical weapons can only improve the success rate of combat plans. Many things are not foolproof.

Ling Hong looked at the mountainside in the distance, which had changed a little bit. The terrain here was higher, and the vague outline of the city could be seen. Under the gray-black sky, a large city that could not be seen at a glance could be clearly seen.

The team members who were still talking on the road were no longer talking at this time. The overall atmosphere became heavy. At this time, the grayness of the sky was relatively clear, and the entire barrier area was gray and white, just like the gloomy sky after the smoke of gunpowder.

Some teams in front had stopped and started to rest. Ling Hong quickly walked to the middle of the team in front and summoned the captains of more than 30 teams.

On a light and shadow screen, the map survey of the command center has been updated. The map shows the approximate outline of Jirigel. It was a rough map surveyed by a lot of detectors.

Now Ling Hong and his team are located in the east, less than 20 kilometers away from Jirigel. Some teams have traveled to a range of less than 10 kilometers and have begun to wait for the take-off and landing aircraft to transport some heavy firepower weapons. Some new war weapons will also be transported.

The entire Jirigel has a large area. There used to be a population of nearly 9 million people living here. It is the second largest city in this land after Jirigel. In the past, it also had civilization and order for a short time, when the real sun had not been blocked.

As the sun's light became weaker and weaker, it was difficult for the nearby farmland to grow crops, food began to be scarce, and chaos came into being. Finally, when the sun's light was completely unable to penetrate the objects wrapped on this planet, everyone began to fight a century-long war for survival.

Many places in the city still have traces of the war years, and have long become dilapidated. Some photos have also been arranged in an orderly manner. Now the team leaders need to be familiar with these pictures. After they arrive at the target location, they have 3 hours to arrange the battle plan for the members of the team.

After the first round of bombing, they will start to break in directly. They can only take a carpet-style clearing operation, break in from different places, and sweep the entire Jirigel.

More floaters will be deployed in this operation. In order to ensure that the enemy can be discovered in the first time, the floaters will be densely arranged around the team members, and the firepower blockade of the air fortress will be added.

The teams at various combat assault locations will be like sharp knives piercing Jirigel. After the bombing is over and the battlefield is divided, they will start assault operations.

A new batch of combat equipment has begun to be sent to the front line. All team members need to wear protective combat armor weighing more than 8kg, which can effectively resist the attack of sniper rifles and some close-range blasting shocks.

Now that the weapons held by the enemy have been basically determined, this time Section 10 will also take the lead in using an automatic shooting tower that can identify surrounding signals and launch attacks on surrounding points with abnormal movements through the signals transmitted by floaters.

This Vulcan A6 automatic shooting tower with 1,200 rounds per second will be placed in some important locations. It only takes 1 second to destroy many things. These fragile walls cannot withstand the shooting of Vulcan A6.

While thinking, the rest time has come. Ling Hong issued another order, asking the team leaders to take their team members and march directly to 5 kilometers outside the target location to rest.

Over the years, Osman has been very strict in the physical training of the members of Section 3, and never slacked off. This group of more than 10,000 members of Section 3 are outstanding in endurance and stamina.

Such a long-distance march is nothing to them. They can keep up with the physical fitness. Ling Hong plans to reach the target location first, then summon the team leaders of the attack in the east, issue combat orders, and hold a simple combat meeting.

Ling Hong moved quickly and arrived at the designated location in less than 10 minutes. At this time, a large number of large take-off and landing aircraft had already transported weapons and equipment. Ling Hong finally saw a part of Jirigel in front of him. The right side extended all the way to the Alatau Mountains, and the left side was almost invisible at a glance. This giant city that once existed in human history has long been in ruins.

At this time, there was no sign of human activity in the entire city. Nothing could be seen from a distance. Red particles began to dissipate near Ling Hong's eye sockets. She walked into the prepared combat command center. Many team leaders were already looking at the specific intelligence sent over.

As soon as Ling Hong entered, more than 20 squad leaders stood up. Ling Hong waved her hand and motioned for them to sit down. A total of 100 squads and more than 3,000 troops would be gathered in the east.

Ling Hong took the hot tea handed over by a female team leader, took a sip, and leaned back comfortably on the chair. She planned to rest for half an hour. Everyone looked a little nervous, and there was a sense of oppression from the impending storm. , making the atmosphere in the entire Eastern Combat Command a bit serious.

1pm sharp

Lao Cheng took out a cigarette, lit it and took two puffs. Scarlet sparks floated in the breeze, and the smoke shook violently in the airflow. The surroundings were piled with weapons and ammunition, as well as some controllable weapons. Equipment for small missile launchers at the perimeter of the eastern edge bunker.

Through the telescope, Lao Cheng could already see the assembled businessmen from the gaps in the bunker. He smiled and never thought about going to the city to engage in a tug-of-war. Most of the people who stayed behind were fighting on their own. He had chosen his burial place and was waiting after the carnival this morning.

The weapons and ammunition in the bunkers are all ready-made. These bunkers are located on the edge of Jizhigrad, under many scattered buildings. They are very secretive. The city leaders have led people to complete the layout over the years, but this This time was different from the past. Most people fled, knowing that there was no chance of winning.

Those who stayed have never thought about a way out, nor have they thought about the meaning of continuing to live. Everyone is a criminal, and there is no need to pray for mercy or repent, because no matter what, the sin has been marked here for life. They have nothing to fear, no family, no friends, no relatives.

Click

Lao Cheng loaded a sniper rifle, and then began to load bullets into the empty magazine of the sniper rifle. He hummed a ditty in his mouth. This was a tune from his childhood in his memory. The melody was very nice.

"I have done bad things, and I am extremely bad. I deserve to die, but I will not sit still and wait for death!"

After Lao Cheng finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly, but at this time his eyes trembled slightly, and the cigarette was already half-burned. He took a puff, with a complicated expression on his face. Lao Cheng thought of those children.

"They don't know anything. How many of those little devils who don't know anything can survive today?"

The smile on Lao Cheng's face gradually froze, and then quickly returned to his smile, but this smile looked a little sad.

"It's none of my business. They are not my children. Anyway, even if these brats return to the city, there will only be a tragic fate waiting for them."

Lao Cheng picked up the wine bottle next to him, took a sip, blew out a puff of smoke, and threw away the cigarette butt. But in his mind, he saw the little boy this morning and the baby girl he was carrying curled up in the corner. The scene still lingered, and Lao Cheng took another sip of wine.

At this time, in a small room near the bunker where Lao Cheng was, a man and a woman had just separated. After a passionate kiss, the two looked at each other and smiled. They each put on their clothes and picked up their weapons.

"The last time was really wonderful!"

The woman smiled and lit a cigarette, and the man laughed.

"It's death anyway. I hope you can live now."

The woman scoffed and laughed.

"You, a habitual fraudster, why have you awakened your conscience now?"

The man hugged the woman from behind and shook his head.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that you don't deserve to die here. Why don't you take your child and leave?"

The woman shook her head.

"That brat"

The woman was a little dazed for a moment. After exhaling a puff of smoke, she laughed.

"Where can you escape? That kid has been living in this cursed world since the day he was born. Damn this shit."

The woman walked to the door of the room with the weapon on her back, and the man behind her shouted.

"I remember your son's name is Owen, and you also have a baby girl named Xima."

The woman waved her hand and walked out of the room with a smile. At this moment, the woman felt powerless as a mother. She could not give her son a bright world, so she had no choice but to take her son with her to hell. She was originally determined. She wanted to leave, but the woman finally turned back, but she didn't go to Owen because she knew very well that she couldn't give Owen anything, and she couldn't guarantee anything for him.

"Why did you come back? Go to your child's side. Maybe go out and surrender now?"

"The reason why I came back is because I don't want to live anymore, that's all. As for the kid I gave birth to, I can only say sorry to him!"

The woman's hesitant expression changed. She quickly left the room, and her expression began to become indifferent. In the past, the woman had thought that what she had suffered might be retribution, but now the woman did not think so. Since taking a bath At the dawn of a new era, everything changed, and families that were originally relatively wealthy began to become more and more unhappy.

Everyone is looking forward to a new era. Life should be better, but it is getting worse.

Walking on the dilapidated streets, the woman glanced at the dazzling city in the distance and smiled contemptuously.

"We have long been abandoned by that city."

The temperature of the air was quite mild at this time. Owen held Xima and kept patting her red face. Owen yawned and looked at everything outside. The adults' noise was over, but Owen didn't know before. What was streaking across the sky? It was something that Owen had never seen before, and there seemed to be something in the distance. He couldn't see it clearly. It seemed to be a person, but it didn't seem to be it.

"Xima, you really love to sleep and eat so much."

Owen said, looking at Xima's bulging belly, he laughed. Now that Xima was asleep and no longer crying, he felt a lot more relaxed.

Someone brought food to them, but Xima seemed to be too full this morning. No matter how Owen called Xima, she would not wake up. The adults who came before told Owen to take good care of Xima. Owen remembered that when he left, He looked a little sad, but he just put down some food, drinks and warm things and left.

Owen took out another piece of candy from his pocket. In the past, his mother would often be eaten by Owen, but it took a long, long time before she could eat it. This time Owen got something that would make him feel extremely happy as long as he held it in his mouth. , I always feel that I am very lucky today.

Owen called Xima a few more times, but she still didn't wake up, so Owen carried Xima on his back, lying on the window edge with his hands on his chin, looking at the quiet city, feeling sweet in his heart.

"When will mom come back!"

There were bursts of noises. Located 5 kilometers outside Jizhigrad, a large number of members of Section 3 were receiving combat equipment. This kind of combat armor was somewhat heavy on the body and a bit bulky, but many people felt it at this moment. To peace of mind.

The expressions of many people seemed to be much better than yesterday. This battle included large-scale bombing, which at least made the battle easier.

Some people even saw a crawler-type cruising escort robot. People from Section 10 were debugging the robot. It was nearly 2 meters long and had various weapons on it, just like a mini tank.

Many members of Section 3 who have experienced the battle in the barrier area feel a lot more at ease. The reason why they choose to fight at night is because the wind and sand are the smallest at night. This can solve a lot of troubles and the signal is smoother than during the day. Much more.

The raider tanks have been prepared. The battle will start at 7pm. It is just 1:31 now. There is still a lot of time to rest. Most of the staff put on the combat armor and found some comfortable sofas. rest.

"What kind of weapon did you say last night?"

Someone asked, and a squad leader smiled and shook his head.

"It would be great if weapons like that were deployed directly, it would allow us"

A clerk was about to say something, but his face darkened. There was a combat helmet next to him, with only a small gap exposed. The internal structure was very delicate. Wearing this 1kg helmet was a bit uncomfortable at first. , but their group of officers had been training in the barrier area wearing these heavy equipment for several months, and now they don’t feel unfamiliar, just a little uncomfortable.

Some people wore helmets and lay down on the ground to sleep. Wanting to eliminate this diaphragmatic sensation as soon as possible, the takeoff and landing aircraft continued to take off and land, and more and more staff gathered.

At 2 o'clock, nearly 100 squads had gathered due east of Jirigrad. The squad leaders were all in the combat conference room. Listening to Ling Hong explaining the combat operations, Ling Hong continued to explain every detail. All are taken out and analyzed, and the squad leaders need to strictly follow the combat plan. This is necessary, and the integrity of the combat must be unified.

At this time, in the mountains north of Jirigrad, a large number of people gathered on the foothills in the middle of the mountains, more than 1,000 meters away from the mountain. Behind them was a cave leading into the mountains. There used to be a mine here with nearly 3,000 people. When people came here, many of them were already exhausted and had already rested. A few leaders stared quietly at the lights in the distance, looking worriedly at everything in the city below the mountain. They had been living here peacefully for seven or eight years. , but now everything is broken, and the place in front of you will soon become a battlefield.

"Those bastards just won't listen."

A younger leader muttered, and the other older leader laughed.

"It's not that they don't listen to advice, they can't escape anymore. Didn't we discuss it from the beginning? This land should be free, at least freer than in the city. They at least have the right to choose their own burial place."

A female leader next to her squatted on the ground, leaning against a hard stone behind her.

"The remaining kids don't know."

The female leader didn't finish speaking, everyone's expressions changed a little, and the older leader sighed.

"I'm going back to sleep. If you like, continue watching. If it's not destroyed over there, we can go back after a while. If it's destroyed there, we won't be able to go back. We can only live there for the rest of our lives. In the mountains.”

Some people have difficulty adapting to the sudden increase in height and have physical problems. Everyone who comes here wants to survive.

The woman stared fiercely at the bright city in the distance, under the light, and laughed contemptuously.

"One day I will go back and I will make those guys in the city pay."

After the woman said something hateful, the leaders next to her laughed.

"Don't think about it, go back? Where can you go back?"

Some people have crossed the mountains and come directly to some human facilities near the barrier. The situation here is much worse. There are more harmful particles in the air. Many people get sick when they just come here. There are very few medicines and no good way to relieve them. They can only leave it to fate. Some parents still bring their children here and do not leave them in Jirigel.

In the distant sky, dense white light keeps passing through. It seems that the Action Department is serious this time and has dispatched a large number of take-offs and landings.

"Hurry up."

Mo Xiaolan said, and Gene still did not move, just quietly watching the white light passing through the distant sky.

"Can you convince her?"

Mo Xiaolan nodded.

"It must be. I always feel that this war is inexplicable. Really, Gene, I always feel that this war, Section 3 has opened a bad start and will continue such a bad situation. There is no need to do this."

Gene smiled and nodded.

"Then do you have a solution?"

Mo Xiaolan was stunned for a few seconds and shook his head.

"Seal off the west and north to prevent any criminals from flowing into the barrier area. This is the safest approach at the moment."

"Cities don't have the ability to do these things right now, Xiaolan."

Mo Xiaolan pouted.

"Then you should move faster."
