Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 84 The Battle of Zhonghaina Blue Star ([-])

Aboard an unknown Covenant cruiser.

Rebecca inserted the barrel of the gun into the Gnoll's mouth and pulled the trigger.The burst of fire illuminated her black helmet, and the sound of gunfire caused the Grunts, who had lost their elite warrior leader, to flee.

She looked around anxiously. Tommy lost contact during the airborne landing. Apart from the four members of his team, there were only corpses of Covenant people and electronic equipment that had been smashed by them.

"Marines, this is Colonel Price," Tommy's voice boomed from speakers located throughout the ship after a brief burst of static. "The bridge has been captured. The action plan has changed. Follow the instructions of the artificial intelligence to build a defense line and complete the mission. If you encounter Covenant engineers approaching you, do not shoot. They are on our side."

Rebecca suddenly felt a hanging boulder fall to the ground.

"Covenant engineer?" Corporal Cecilia muttered. "What the hell is that?"

"Who knows, maybe--"

The strange creature floating out from the pressure door on one side attracted their guns, but the tall figure that appeared subsequently prevented them from pulling the trigger immediately.

"Sir!" Corporal Taut called.

"Don't shoot, it's the engineer I said." Tommy came to Rebecca and gently pressed the muzzle of her gun as if to reassure her, "Ellie, you can start."

Three ultrasonic howls came from the speakers.The Covenant engineer who had just been pointed at a gun immediately listened intently, his eyes fixedly looking ahead.It chirped in response, and then operated a small purple cube box hanging beside it.

Blue-green energy shields slowly emerged from the bodies of the five people.

"Holy crap!" Cecilia jumped up in shock, "Energy shield! Haha!"

Avrola curiously touched the energy shield on Taote's body, and the slippery feel in her palm made her feel novel.

"The landing zone has been cleared and other marines are landing." Tommy interrupted their exploration. "The new plan is to seize this cruiser. We need manpower on the bridge. Come with me."

"Yes, sir."

They walked through the corridor and returned to the bridge, where a dozen hell paratroopers were already busy building a defense line.They threw the obstructing Covenant corpses into space through the bridge's airlock door, and then set up M41 Vulcan machine guns at the entrances of each passage.

Covenant men in space suits soon swarmed in, but all was in vain against the established firepower.

The 49th time unit of the Covenant War, the sixth cycle, the galaxy controlled by the heretics, on the cruiser Holy Knight.

Pipilu never thought that the situation would change so quickly - it was like one moment they were killing humans until they were stripped of their armor, and the next moment they were beaten on the head by heretics, even their teeth were knocked out. A few.

"Boom!" The fragmentation grenade exploded, and the flying shrapnel made the weapon storage box in front of him crackle.

Once again, he was frightened by the cruel battlefield. It was like this every time. Before going to the battlefield, he felt that he was omnipotent. But as soon as the battle began, he was beaten back and he forgot about his sacred mission.

"My dear mother, why are they chasing us?" Gagawu, who was hiding aside, had long been frightened and curled up into a ball, shivering.

Pipiru glanced at him secretly, and then quietly took out something wrapped in cloth.He opened the piece of cloth, revealing the fatal thing inside - a black crystal, which was still emitting an almost invisible blue light.

Those humans came here just for this stuff.

As soon as he boarded the human ship Pipiru, he got lost and wandered around in the corridors extending in all directions until he met a white-armored Sangheili warrior and was recruited into his ranks.But what he didn't expect was that within a few seconds, the Sangheili warrior was blasted into the sky by humans, and he took advantage of the cover of smoke to take away the black crystal.

Fortunately, the little human closest to him did not rush to stop him, so Pipiru withdrew his own landing craft without any danger.Regardless of the pilot's embarrassed look at the time, he waved the plasma pistol in his hand forcefully, threatening to make him escape from the human ship.He thought his life would be easier after handing over the crystal, but he didn't expect humans to board their ship the next second, giving him no chance to hand over the crystal.

The sound of roars and metal friction brought him back from his thoughts. He looked up and saw a pair of Mgarakolo crossing the writing and rushing straight towards the human warrior opposite him.The nuclear gun fired with a deafening sound, and the green light stung his eyes. Several humans were blown up into the sky before they could even scream.

The Anggois couldn't help but feel their morale rise, and they started shouting and shooting even more happily with their plasma pistols.

"Heretic, go to hell!" Pipiru took out a plasma grenade and threw it forward.

A Mgalekolo was knocked sideways by a human grenade, and the blue-fired plasma grenade just stuck to his exposed orange back.

After the explosion, the heat wave sprayed orange-yellow sticky blood around Pipilu's shocked little eyes. He swore that this was absolutely unintentional.

Witnessing the absurd death of his brother, the other Mgalekolo went crazy, his body was shaking, and the nuclear gun in his hand was pointed at Pipilu.

This Anggoi screamed strangely and threw himself to the side with all his strength.

A deafening explosion sounded, and his good friend Gagawu was turned into coke by the explosion of the methane tank, along with several Anggoi.Humanity took this opportunity to launch a counterattack, and an overwhelming barrage of bullets and rockets hit Mgalekolo, who fell wailing.

While the other Anggoi were in a mess, Pipilu hurriedly got up, abandoned his comrades who were still here, and ran towards the escape cabin on the cruiser.

As soon as he left here, the pressure door was closed, leaving only the sounds of struggling and slapping on the door wall due to lack of oxygen.

Pipiru dove into the escape cabin, pulled out his plasma pistol and shouted to the pilot: "Go, go, go! Send me to the ground!"

"But people haven't—"

"Look what this is!" He showed the crystal to the pilot. The pilot's eyes suddenly widened. He looked around to make sure no one else was paying attention, and took the shot of the launch button before the human soldiers rushed over.
-
Ellie never thought they would have such good luck - the drop pod was deflected by the impact, and its destination was not the endless deep space but the bridge of the Covenant cruiser, and then they were launched before they could react. Kill them all.

The Covenant failed to encrypt their ship's systems in time, allowing Ellie to quickly hack into the system and quickly take control of the entire ship.She activated the new system and made it subordinate to her original system, two systems running in parallel - one using the Office of Military Intelligence's English-Covenant Dictionary, the other using the Covenant Dictionary on the alien ship. -English Dictionary".

One of her subroutines switches the camera view, showing a Pelican troop carrier full of marines landing through the cruiser's hangar. These soldiers are often startled by busy Covenant engineers when they first land.

The engineers surprisingly cooperated with Ellie's instructions to them, as if they were originally on the side of humans.By giving them simple instructions, the engineers floated to the Marines who were boarding the ship and put energy shields on them. The surprised Marines quickly accepted these useful aliens, and a few were forced to do so by their superiors. The despotic power had to be accepted, and then with the help of the shield, he was invincible.

The scene switched to the bridge. At this time, Tommy had repelled the last wave of Covenant attacks and led the remaining Hell Paratroopers to launch a counterattack.For the Covenant, it was undoubtedly a nightmare for the Spartans to join the gang. They rushed into the ship, raised their rifles and opened fire violently, killing all the aliens on the ship.If they run out of ammunition, the super-soldiers will tear them apart with their bare hands, like repairing dolls left to be slaughtered.

Tommy was no exception. They fought all the way from the bridge at the front of the ship along the corridor to the propeller at the stern. Then they gathered their troops and combined them into an invincible sharp blade. They turned around in the 3-kilometer-long cruiser. Along the way, the Covenant people were mourned all over the place, and their broken limbs were spread all over the ground.

"It must stink terribly in there." Ellie thought as her delicate little nose moved.She has no senses and cannot experience the sense of smell that humans are accustomed to.

But now she feels that everything is fine, because the regret that ordinary artificial intelligences have when they are about to die has not yet arisen. After all, she was just born not long ago, and 7 years is as long as 7 centuries to artificial intelligences. She doesn't want to think so far yet.

At this time, she noticed that the Grunt holding the crystal rushed into the escape cabin, and then the escape cabin was launched with a "boom".Through triangulation, she calculated that the landing point of the escape capsule was the target of the Covenant people's trip on Zhonghai Nalan Planet - Bibo Town.

"Cunning bastard." Ellie muttered, and with a wave of her hand, she closed the airlock door and explosion-proof door of the cruiser restaurant, and then sucked out the air inside.
