Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 78 The Battle of Zhonghaina Blue Star ([-])
In the corridor leading to the engine room in Area 23 of the Yongzhu.

Private First Class Jerry hid behind a bunker made of ordnance boxes, watching in horror as green and blue plasma beams flew overhead. The hot room temperature made him stick out his tongue to lick his cracked and bleeding lips. , the sharp voice of the Grunts is getting closer and closer.

"Corporal, we can no longer defend this place. Let's retreat." The fierce battle made his voice tremble.

"No, Jerry, we'll be finished as soon as we withdraw the defense line leading to the engine room. Those beasts will tear the other brothers apart through this loophole." Corporal Zack took Carl, half of his body roasted, to the bunker. Dragging inside, the brave soldier was hit by the "charge overload" of the Grunt's plasma pistol, killing him instantly.

Zach reached out and touched Jia Er's chest, pulled off his silver military status card, and stuffed it into his pocket - if he could survive, he would personally hand over the military status card to Jia Er to live on the moon. family.

The spherical object shining with blue light drew a parabola in the air, and then stuck to Jerry's left shoulder.He screamed in horror and shook himself desperately but couldn't shake it off.

"Jerry, take off your combat uniform!" Corporal Zack growled at him.

"I can't do it, I'm done—"

A broad shadow enveloped Jerry. A strong hand grabbed his shoulder armor and pulled hard. The shoulder armor and the plasma grenade were in the hands of the visitor.

Jerry felt his collar being grabbed, and he flew up into the air. The world spun before his eyes, and finally he fell heavily to the ground.

"Boom!" The flashing blue light when the plasma grenade exploded enveloped the incoming person. The scorching heat wave hit the surrounding bunkers and walls, and the molten iron dripped "sizzlingly".

The first-class soldier was lying on the ground, staring blankly at the figure emerging from the light - he was kneeling on one knee, his whole body covered in white light, with blue current flashing around him, and he was wearing "Thor's Hammer" power armor, almost The plasma grenade that exploded at zero distance didn't hurt him at all.

"Spartan" Jerry muttered in disbelief.He could no longer take his eyes away, endless joy and a sense of survival burst out in his heart, and even the boiling molten iron around him seemed to be cheering for him.

The Covenant's offensive briefly stalled for a moment because of the man's arrival, and then they let out a scream of terror, and an even more turbulent wave of plasma rushed towards him.

The Spartan threw a fragmentation grenade and fired violently with the MA5B rifle in his hand. He kept moving, and the plasma beam hitting him could only cause ripples in the energy shield.

After just a few seconds, the Covenant went silent. Green-smoking Grunt methane tanks flew around, and then fell to the ground with a "pop".

"Corporal, the defense line has shrunk. Take your people back and I'll take care of this area." Tommy turned around and ordered the two of them.

"Yes, sir!" Corporal Zach hurriedly dragged the bodies of Jerry and Carl and ran behind him, "Hey, soldier, today is our lucky day."

Tommy watched them disappear around the corner and clenched his hands.The plasma grenade exploded in his palm just now, and the hot feeling seemed to still remain on the surface of his skin - he would definitely not have dared to do this without the "Armor Lock" attachment.

"Tommy, a Leech boarding ship is approaching their landing area, which is in the restaurant in the next area." Ellie called him through the communicator, and a blue navigation point popped up on the heads-up display.

Ellie's voice did not come from his head, which made Tommy miss the days when the two were inseparable in Night City. But now, only a faint feeling of loneliness filled his heart.

"Got it." He was about to change the magazine, but when he touched his pocket, he found that the previous battles had almost exhausted the reserves.

Tommy endured the disgusting smell, leaned over to plunder a few plasma grenades from the Covenant corpses, and then ran towards the enemy-occupied area ahead where no Marines were deployed.He passed through several pressure doors, went around several corners, and came to the door of the restaurant.

The fiber optic probe connected to the helmet stretched through the gap next to the door, and the view here was exposed to him: the restaurant had been arranged into a landing area by the Covenant, and long iron tables and benches were piled aside and placed haphazardly.Several small teams led by elite warriors are guarding here.The head of the Leech boarding boat that arrived first penetrated the glass window on the wall of the restaurant. This must be how the Covenant entered.

Tommy easily came to the conclusion that rushing in was looking for death, and he needed more firepower.

He took out the Lotus anti-tank mine, three fragmentation grenades and a roll of tape, wrapped them tightly together, then set the mine's sensitivity to maximum and activated its detonation detector.

The pressure door slid open and the anti-tank mine whirled rapidly into the restaurant.

There was an earth-shattering explosion. The mutilated limbs of the Grunts and Elite Warriors were squeezed by the expanding air and thrown out of the door. The restaurant was filled with the stench of alien blood.

Tommy didn't wait for the possible remaining Covenant people inside to react. He stepped into the restaurant with a single step, picked up the MA5B rifle and fired it. The Grunts who were still standing in the field of vision fell to the ground one after another. The bright blue Blood splatters.

Several Jackals came to their senses, quickly got together, and slowly moved forward under the cover of the energy shield, firing continuously with the plasma pistols in their hands.Tommy dodged left and right, threw a grenade at them, then pulled a table and hid behind it, waiting for the beeping energy shield to recharge.

The jackals looked at the grenade that fell in front of them and panicked. As soon as they tried to escape, they were blown away. The screams echoed through the restaurant.

The Spartan hung the empty MA5B rifle back on his back and pulled out the M6D Magnum pistol. At this time, the energy shield was just full.He leaned out of the bunker and named the creatures who were still standing, then patrolled the surroundings and sent the Covenant people who were still angry to go on a pilgrimage in advance.

The pressure door of the restaurant was opened again, but this time it was an elite warrior wearing scarlet armor - which meant it was a veteran.

The elite warriors stared around in surprise and anger, shouting "Ouch!" while picking up the plasma rifle in their hands and firing fiercely, while charging towards Tommy.

Tommy hid behind a small food cart, grabbed a plasma pistol that had fallen to the side, and held on to the trigger.The plasma at the muzzle was immediately "overloaded" by energy storage, making a "buzzing" sound and shaking in his hand.

The Spartan warrior leaned out, and the plasma in his hand flew out with a whoosh, breaking its energy shield.

The elite warriors roared and raised their guns to attack, and the roaring wind went straight to Tommy's head.

Tommy reached for his waist, turned sideways to avoid the heavy blow, then pulled out his energy sword and pierced the elite warrior.
-
Ellie, who is inside the Yongzhu system, is multitasking. While controlling the point defense cannon on the battleship to destroy the incoming Covenant boarding ship, she is also constantly directing the movement and combat of the marines, as if she is playing A real-time strategy game.

As the Covenant penetrated deeper and deeper, she became increasingly anxious.

The screen panned to the restaurant. Tommy set a Lotus anti-tank mine at the location where the boarding ship was about to land, and then hid behind the dining tables stacked in the corner, waiting for the Covenant's arrival.

Because there was not much space behind the dining table, Tommy had to twist his body and squat down, like an abused dwarf.

Seeing this scene, Ellie couldn't help but chuckle, and most of the tension in her heart disappeared.

It had been a long time since she had seen Tommy in such a miserable state. Ever since he came to Night City, he was like an invincible god of war, and nothing could stop him.

The last time he was in such a mess was at the Warhammer Base on Reach, where he was chased around by a large group of elite warriors and Grunts. Thanks to himself, he was able to escape.

"Warhammer Base. What a nostalgic place." Ellie muttered, stretched out her finger and touched the command interface, and the Marines in District [-] immediately ran to District [-].

Warhammer Base is both the place where she died and the place where she was born. If you want to create a program model of artificial intelligence, you must first input current into the neural network of the human brain to obtain a nerve signal current transmission route, and then use nanometer super Use the guidance material to copy this delivery route.

This kind of operation will destroy the human brain that is used as a copy template, so her original body died in Warhammer Base, and she was born here - no, she is not completely dead, nearly half of the program model is not completed yet, Her brain was still in the buffer.

The Leech boarding ship had arrived at the Yuanzhu restaurant at some point. It inserted a long cylinder into the glass window, and then the Covenant troops jumped out one by one under the leadership of elite warriors - and then were blown away by Lotus mines.

Tommy rolled out from behind the cover and opened fire violently with the plasma pistol in his left hand and the M6D pistol in his right hand, beating the crap out of the remaining Covenanters.

"Ellie, mark the next area." Tommy contacted her on the communicator.

"You have cleaned up this area. You can return to the officers' club." Ellie glanced at the situation of the reactor, only to find that all the friendly identification marks there had disappeared, and the life activity detection result was a large number of "KIA", "No, You need to go to the reactor immediately, something happened."

"Copy that. Come on over." In the picture, Tommy's footsteps stagnated, then turned around and ran in the other direction.

Ellie hesitated for a moment, feeling something was wrong, so she added: "Be careful."

"I will."
