Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 124 Flood Demon ([-])

A creature that Laurel had never seen hovered in front of the cockpit of the Pelican troop carrier for a moment, and the bright light pierced Laurel almost unable to open his eyes.It was made of some sort of silvery metal and was roughly cylindrical in shape, but with diamond-shaped sharp edges.The wing-like short square wings are constantly changing, as if they are a balancing rudder that keeps the object stable in the air.

It - whatever it was - beamed brightly into the cockpit, then turned and flew away, losing altitude.Below her, she saw dozens of them, flying in loose straight lines.Seconds later, they dropped below the tree line and disappeared.

"Frye," her mouth suddenly became dry, "tell the Karen transport officer to work on the communication system and give me a channel through the jamming. I need to contact the ground troops, now!"

The enemy's onslaught subsided, but they immediately began to regroup.The strange-looking cylindrical machine floated out from the woods and hovered over the open area. There were at least a dozen in number.

Laurel heard a Marine yell over the comm channel, "What is this?"

Then the Master Chief stopped him, "Don't move, Marines... let's see what they want to do first."

What happened next was as surprising as it was unexpected.Each of these machines fired energy beams, piercing a mutant monster, burning it and destroying it.

The combat-type monsters that were not hit began to fight back, but under the combined attack of the marines and new allies, they quickly lost their combat effectiveness.

Seeing the right moment, Laurel had just adjusted the Pelican troop carrier into position and was about to land on the tower when he saw the distinctive-looking Master Chief standing on the building from a distance.She gently pushed the control column forward, and the Pelican slid forward, nose toward the building.She looked down and saw the Master Chief disappear in a beam of golden light.

"Master Chief!" Nemesis shouted. "I lost your signal! Where have you been? Master Chief! Master Chief!"

He tried the radio again, but the response was only more noise.

The Master Chief disappeared, and the pilot could do nothing but hope to pick up some more Marines on board, hoping that everything would end well.

Despite receiving sudden help, the Marines were not relaxed. There were too many mutant monsters around them.They were surrounded by swarms of contagious beasts and were on the verge of being wiped out.A missile with a shining tail flame in the dark night penetrated into the pile of monsters, and then a huge explosion woke up the entire swamp, and the fog suddenly dispersed.

Laurel thought he heard a girl laughing.

"'Enemy Buster', this is Captain Case and Colonel Price's troops," Ellie's voice sounded like the sound of nature at this time, "We are chasing the Master Chief, where is he?"

Laurel saw a Spartan leading two fire teams of hell paratroopers break into the monster defense line that was sparsely blown up by missiles.

God, those monsters were beaten so badly.Laurel couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the monsters.

"He disappeared!" Laurel replied.

"Disappeared?"

Laurel maneuvered the Pelican troop carrier and flew sideways towards them. "I saw a flashing blue ball contact the Master Chief, and then he disappeared in a burst of golden light." There was a brief silence on the other side, "You better not be kidding me, 'Nemesis'," Ellie said, "We're not making a horror movie."

"Of course not, Ellie." Laurel parked the troop transport firmly only twenty centimeters above the swamp liquid level, and then lowered the ramp.

She felt the troop transport sink a little, and then a series of footsteps sounded in the crew compartment.

"All surviving Marines are on board, Captain." Colonel Price knocked on the hatch behind her, "We need to return to Alpha Base as soon as possible to warn Major Silva and the others."

"Roger that, sir." Laurel couldn't help but smile.She retracted the gangway, filled the engine with fuel, and flew out of the swamp.

In the crew cabin, Rebecca shook off the muddy water on her boots, then took off her helmet and took a deep breath.She could hardly believe that she had survived such a horrific pile of monsters.

Putting aside his worries about John for the moment, Tommy saw through the display screen on the bulkhead connected to the camera on the bow of the troop carrier. It didn't take long for them to climb over the lovely smelly rainforest swamp and enter the dazzling light of the Halo star. middle.

Tommy didn't know what anyone else was thinking, but he felt good, really felt good.

Covenant War Calendar: 49 time units, Ninth Recycling Era, 35th Time Cycle, 13 units (Covenant War Calendar)
Ther Galaxy, gas giant high orbit
Special Justice Fleet, flagship Justice USS Bridge
Plasma beams flew in the air on the bridge, and the bridge sensor readers, who had little combat training, immediately surrendered under the fierce offensive - their opponents were also Sangheili, and there was no need to pay their lives for this.

In the observation bubble at the bow of the ship, Frsami's head was pressed to the ground with a bang.He couldn't move and felt like his whole body was about to be crushed. "You are disobeying the prophet by doing this." His jaw kept trembling, and he tried his best to spit out these few words.

He felt regretful about his decision to return to the flagship alone, almost beating his chest - although he couldn't do it at this time.

In order to gain more support from the captain, under the order of the management prophet, he returned to the flagship and was about to contact other captains. Unexpectedly, the cunning shadow troops had been waiting for a long time, and they quickly subdued all the bridge personnel.

The black-armored Sangheili who pressed him down with his elbows and knees sneered disdainfully, "The fleet commander issued an order. In view of the fact that the Flood has spread on the surface of the Holy Ring, in order to avoid the spread of infection, all stay Ships in orbit must immediately retreat to the backlit side of the gas giant to wait for the next order."

"But the Prophet"

"The Commander has no patience anymore. His orders have higher priority than that San'Shyuum." The captain of the Silent Shadow Warrior paused his wrist, and the blade of the red energy sword buzzed close to Frsami's cheek. The latter was serious. He felt the astonishing heat of the energy sword, "I will take over this battleship now, and you, the captain, will go to the commander in person to report on your duties."

Vrsami rolled his eyes feebly and looked at the communication unit that was making a hissing sound.The Flood on the surface of the sacred ring has become unstoppable. They suspect that the Flood has formed the original corpse brain beast and interfered with communications on the entire surface of the holy ring.

As for the situation on the surface of the Holy Circle, they are now both blind and deaf, and have no way to contact the management prophet who remains on the Truth and Harmony.Vrsami realized that there was no hope of resistance, and his body collapsed, waiting for the upcoming trial.
