Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 139 Double Betrayal ([-])

I squeezed my shoulders. Judging from the fact that I never lost consciousness, I shouldn't die.

"Lieutenant McKay, we are in a fierce firefight!" Johnson called on the channel, "Can you provide us with cover?"

"We have engaged the mutinous troops," Lieutenant McKay said without any hesitation in his tone, as if the enemy was not his old boss, but some insignificant Grunt. "The reinforcements will arrive later."

The colonel took Rebecca's M41 and rushed out of the bunker first. After a few loud noises, almost all the rebel firepower was locked on him. Now no one cared about the three of us.

Aurora next to me suddenly struggled violently, got rid of Rebecca's restraints, jumped up, and took off the assault rifle while charging.When I stood up, I saw that Aurora had already reached the upper platform. She pointed her rifle directly at Silva and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Don't move!"

Silva's gun was slowly lowered amidst Aurora's threatening sound, and we all breathed a sigh of relief. However, another explosion at the rear of the battleship caused the bridge to shake violently, and Aurora's gun was staggered. This gave Silva a fatal opportunity.

The muzzle of the damn gun was raised and pointed at Taote's head again.I can guess what Silva is thinking, and now he has only one way to go.

Even if he narrowly escapes a firefight, he will never escape our clutches, and his military career will come to an end.The best outcome he faced was life in prison, punctuated by interrogations.

He was right to think so.

Anyway, in his opinion, he is destined to die anyway, and if he is caught, his life will be worse than death.

Since he is doomed, he will definitely drag as many people as possible to be buried with him, even if he can only drag one person on his back.

He pulled the trigger on Taut, and my good brother's brains spurted out from the back of his head, and a scarlet blood mist spread in the air on the platform.Taut stumbled backwards and over the platform's raised guardrail.His body fell to the open space in front of me with a "bang". Under the heavy pressure, the holographic console was smashed into pieces and sparks flew out.

What an irony, the Covenanters failed to kill him, but he died at the hands of one of their own.

Avora was stunned by Silva's brutality. At the critical moment when she was stunned, Sergeant Johnson pushed her aside, dodged a series of Silva's shots with incredible agility, and then pounced. He went over and hugged Silva's waist, and the two immediately flew off the upper platform, and finally fell next to Taote's body with a burst of flesh collision.

Johnson's fists, as big as sandbags, were accurate and hard, hitting Silva on the face repeatedly with "bang bang" sounds - I dare say this is far beyond the strength of an ordinary Marine, even the top Helltroopers are no match for him.

Silva's screams gradually weakened. Johnson was afraid of beating him to death. After stopping, he turned Silva over and pressed his knees to his joints to avoid any possible resistance.

Colonel Price had a shotgun in his hand at some point. He swept the rebels out of the bridge like cockroaches and quickly checked every corner of the bridge to confirm that there were no rebels or Covenant people here. After meeting the Flood, he returned to Silva who was lying on the ground.

Rebecca stared down at Taut's body. After an annoying silence, she suddenly grabbed the colonel's shotgun, cursed loudly, and was about to put the muzzle of the gun against Silva's head.

"Becca, don't shoot!" the colonel said as he hugged Rebecca to prevent him from shooting the prisoners of war.

It was clear to me that this was to protect Rebecca.Everyone wants to seek justice for Taote, but shooting an enemy who is no longer able to resist is another matter. This will definitely save Rebecca a lot of trouble when she returns to Earth in the future.Lieutenant McKay also came to Silva's side, but there was a hint of unbearability in her eyes.Yes, after all, Silva has been her immediate boss for so many years and treats her pretty well.

"Sir," McKay said to the colonel, "take him to a court-martial—"

There was an unexpected gunshot, and Silva's head exploded.

We looked at the source of the gunshots in shock, and saw a pistol clattering to the ground at Aurora's feet.

"Sir, just send me to a military court." Aurora, who often cried due to the pressure of war, did not shed tears this time.I think only a dead person can make such a sound.

She must be very sad, her body seemed to be swaying in the wind and rain, trembling constantly.How sad it is to have your loved one die in front of you but to be helpless.

The colonel sighed, and then announced loudly: "Silvari was obsessed with lust, entangled his accomplices, and wanted to betray the UNSC. He was killed by me on the spot during the exchange of fire." He looked at Aurora, "Find a place to say your final goodbyes. .”

Aurora walked slowly towards this place, this process seemed to have taken a century.

I squatted next to Taote, reached out and pulled off the "dog tag" hanging around his neck, and handed it to Aurora.She rejected my kindness, struggled to pick up Taote's body, said "thank you" to the colonel, and walked to the pressure door alone to leave the bridge.

The Covenant warships like to be decorated with purple lights. For the first time, I felt a bone-chilling chill from them.

Just when Aurora's back was fading away and the pressure door was about to close again, Rebecca suddenly patted the colonel and said, "I'll be back later!" Then she caught up with Avora without looking back. Flora, the two disappeared from our sight as the pressure door closed.

The colonel shook his head slightly and then went to work on taking off the battleship.He inserted the artificial intelligence Ellie's chip into the console of the Covenant cruiser, and the Truth and Harmony groaned and flew away.

I saw through the holographic display next to me that we were getting farther and farther away from the surface of the halo. The familiar trees and rivers were gradually shrinking into ant-sized dots on the screen. I guess there would be no chance of coming back in the future.

After that I was pretty suspicious of something: every Marine knows that Spartans have lightning-fast reflexes, so when Aurora raised her gun to shoot Silva in the head , does the colonel really have no chance to stop her?
Unable to suppress my curiosity, I took an opportunity to secretly voice this question.

The colonel just smiled and said to me: "There is really no chance. I was very tired because I had experienced too many battles, so my reaction was half a beat slow."

There was something strange about that smile, and it took me a long time to figure out the taste.

Ha, as expected, not a single word that came out of the mouth of the Military Intelligence agent was believable.

Okay, let’s stop writing this.
