My slow journey to infinity

Chapter 154 War is coming—Let’s order takeout first

Just a few simple words did not bring much sense of security to Mia.

But the guy who calls himself [Brother Shui] is like a miraculous aggregation. His confidence and slight arrogance always make Mia calm down.

Even though he is a bit mysterious and a bit out of tune.

The building was still shaking, but Mia walked down the stairs very calmly, and the expected scene on the first floor began to unfold in front of Mia——

The front of the "temporary command center" has completely disappeared.

This was originally the entrance to a hotel, with a small lobby and a relatively large living area behind it.

Now the doorway has been blown into ruins, most of the load-bearing structure has been lost, and the building has begun to break and collapse.

But at this time, a large number of blue force field light walls have been formed. They support the building, resist the situation, and also protect the open ruins below.

Brother Hui's two students were quickly building a position in the bunker composed of masonry ruins and blue light walls.

They were very skilled and dug several standard foxholes, then set up long-range weapons and hung up personal protection before going to expand the activity area under their feet.

It is precisely because of their professionalism that it also brings out Mia's defenselessness.

Almost instantly, a massive rain of bullets and flying props were directed towards Mia on the stairs.

The blue light wall of the [Protective Array] quickly erupted with dazzling light.

The large number of projectiles made it difficult for the shield to absorb the kinetic energy perfectly, so soon, many stray bullets appeared in the shield.

This is why Brother Hui's two students dug trenches inside the [Protective Array].

The number of stray bullets is not large, and some of their power has been eliminated, but if they are hit multiple times or hit by some special warheads, they are still very dangerous.

Dragging her still weak body, Mia jumped down the stairs in one step, and then turned into the ruins bunker on the first floor.

At the same time, she also opened her personal energy shield. After a brief observation, she looked at the brown-clothed student not far ahead.

"what's the situation?"

"Well, wait a minute... Okay, the protocol is passed, the authentication is completed, and I am connected to the [Protection Array] server.

Let me put it simply, you all listen with your own brains, cough cough——

Ten minutes ago, the number of passers-by outside began to dwindle;

Five minutes ago, there were some guys in purple robes who drew some old-fashioned magic circles outside;

And now, we're being attacked.

Although most of the people outside using firearms were humanoid, their "energy reaction" was full of the smell of the abyss.

Moreover, in Zhongcheng District, there are rarely such combat troops with complete equipment, uniform uniforms, and professional rigor.

Therefore, they are probably [soldier slaves] of the Zhuoyuan forces. If you want to kill them, you have to blow their heads off directly.

In addition to the humanoid soldier slaves, there are dozens of Zhuoyuan creatures about two meters tall outside.

Yes, they are those large upright lizards that are covered in scales and can shoot armor. According to the information, they are called [Zhuoyuan Armored Argonians]. They seem to have crawled out of those old-fashioned magic circles.

According to the data, those Argonians are only second-level creatures, but the [Protective Array] reported that it was withstanding a batch of third-level equivalent blows, but the good news is that it said it could still withstand it.

All in all, we'd better not go out casually. "

The student in brown said a lot, but in terms of the amount of information, he was indeed concise enough.

Mia observed through the edge of the bunker. The [Protective Array] was still working, and the vibration of the building was much smaller. It was the blue light wall that began to withstand the firepower from outside.

The reason why the front building was destroyed into ruins was because it was not within the protection range of the light wall, and it was obvious that the light wall was not turned on at all times.

While thinking about it, Mia also connected to the [Protective Array] system, and she began to retrieve on-site information through student permissions.

Although the analysis data was healthy, outside the light wall, Mia discovered enemies approaching from both wings.

The opponent seems to have discovered that they have no counterattack capability and no commander.

boom--!

At this moment, a heavy roar came from Mia's right front. It was another student who had been playing with weapons and fired their side's first shot.

The huge No. 5 heavy warhead (15mm), with its long tail flame, successfully passed through the blue protective light wall.

The warhead was very fast, but with focused gaze, Mia could see part of the trajectory clearly - the warhead was drilling into the chest of the enemy vanguard with a momentum visible to the naked eye.

Yes, the warhead did not hit the "Soldier"'s head. It passed directly through the body of the first enemy, then the second, and the third.

Before the blood splashed, a violent explosion ended the shot.

Dazzling firelight rose, and many enemies were directly blown up. Several of them lost part of their limbs. Even if they did not die immediately, they should be unable to fight for the time being.

This shot not only killed seven or eight enemies, but also very effectively prevented the opponent from getting closer.

However, the student who fired the shot did not show much joy.

After confirming the result, he calmly pulled the bolt, pushed the next huge bullet into the [Firearm Expansion Module], and then used the crosshair to trap another group of targets.

Yes, the two-meter-long "big gun" he is currently setting up on the bunker is actually just an expansion module of a pistol. It is not a rifle in the sense of the old days.

"Ha, as long as we have counterattack firepower, we should be fine until Brother Hui comes back."

The student in brown clothes made an optimistic voice, but the student in green clothes next to him, who had fired his third shot, immediately retorted:

"No, I just tried two more shots. Ordinary heavy explosives can't hurt those big lizards. They are very sensitive and will avoid their own vital points.

Moreover, my simple counterattack seemed to arouse their desire to attack, and those big guys also began to try to get closer. "

The boy in brown clothes immediately jumped into the trench bunker in front and also played with his spear components.

He listened to the increasingly sparse gunshots and observed in the smoke disturbed by the rain. At the same time, he was also using the [Demon Hunting Ring] to etch some complex patterns on the warheads. He paid attention to avoid them. The part where the rifling rubs.

Boo--!

The same heavy shot, the same 15mm No. 5 heavy-duty warhead.

But unlike the previous bullet from the student in green, this bullet trailed a long dark blue light tail, and the dazzling light instantly lit up the gloomy battlefield.

The bullet hit a huge Argonian, and the heavy warhead penetrated directly into its scales. Then, a dark blue flower of flame bloomed in its body.

This flame not only directly killed the Argonian, but also burned several "soldier slaves" nearby.

The effective blow made all three of them very excited.

At this time, Mia even retracted her left hand that was reaching for the holster on her waist. Apart from being unable to contact [Brother Hui], the overall environment was still very optimistic. She didn't want to waste her resources here.

And the things on her body are not suitable for dealing with this kind of battlefield.

The student in green has changed to a [Firearm Expansion Module]. The original long gun of about two meters has been put away. Now, he has a heavy machine gun.

Then, he took out another storage card and took out three ammunition boxes from it.

After connecting an ammunition box to the heavy machine gun, the student in green threw the other two boxes at the student in brown.

He is always silent, but his words are arrogant:

"Shit Zero Moon, help me enchant every bullet."

After saying that, the heavy machine gun he had just assembled began to spit out tongues of flame, and the blue light wall of the [Protective Array] also began to calculate his trajectory and release his bullets.

Even students like Mia who don't know much about enchantment find this kind of request outrageous.

But Mia didn't expect that the guy named "Zero Moon" was even more ruthless. He took off the [Demon Hunting Ring] and threw it to his classmate and bad friend.

"Why don't you help me enchant a few thousand rounds? I'll treat you to a feast in the cafeteria later!"

"Wow, if you dare to throw away Brother Hui's ring, you are dead. I don't think you should prepare for the upgrade exam. Go back and check which instructor is still recruiting.

Or simply, if you die in battle today, Brother Hui will not only forgive you, but also shed tears for you. "

People who are usually silent will become talkative at certain times, and this kind of relaxed and pleasant communication is a treatment that lovers and relatives cannot get.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the depth of feelings, this is just the privilege of friendship.

The exchange here has slightly eased the tense situation, but the war outside will not stop.

The enemy has begun to try various methods to get close to the light wall. This kind of shield protects against long-range strikes, so it must be destroyed at close range.

But their offensive intentions were always repelled by two students who kept talking.

On the flanks, rear, above, and even underground, as time went by, the positions within the blue light wall began to gradually turn into a circle.

Mia, who does not have conventional long-range firepower, can only use her personal smart terminal to connect to the server of the [Protective Array], and then act as a sensing unit for battlefield information, providing data to the system.

Combat can also make time feel like it's flying by.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the enemy almost never stopped, launching more than a dozen waves of attacks, large and small.

After all, they failed to get close to the light wall, and instead lost more than half of their strength.

However, judging from the various combat skills and tactics, both the "soldier slaves" and the "armored Argonians" seem to have a certain degree of wisdom, and there are definitely commanders behind them.

When there are too many people participating in the battle, it is absolutely impossible to form a professional [offensive] just by relying on the tacit cooperation between individuals.

However, the stalemate is also a torture for the defenders.

At least the three students didn't have much room to move. They could only stick to it and watch the resources in their hands dwindle little by little.

Just before a new round of attacks arrived, "Zero Moon" who took time to enchant bullets suddenly said:

"Bad news, brother, I didn't prepare ammunition for a battle of this intensity. I just discovered that there are only a dozen rounds of No. 5 ammunition left, and there are only a few hundred rounds of No. 3 ammunition (10mm) in stock. Lao Lan, what are you doing? How about the side?"

"Old Lan", who had been relatively silent next to him, also said in a heavier tone:

"There are still about 4,000 rounds of various types of ammunition, but the damage of conventional warheads to those big guys is limited. It takes hundreds of rounds to seriously injure one.

And I just discovered that they seem to have carved that kind of old-fashioned magic circle on the edge of the street, so I don't rule out the possibility of them adding more people.

Therefore, it is best to enchant all the remaining ammunition and use it sparingly. "

After hearing this, Ling Yue leaned directly against the bunker, slid down on the ammunition box at her feet, and said with a sad face:

"How about we prepare for close combat. My remaining energy and spirit can support up to a dozen enchantments. Using [Ring] is too expensive.

You still have to save some energy, so that when you are in close combat at the end, your feet will give out and your opponent will kneel down. "

"Old Lan" pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out a dozen small flat metal blocks (the size of a matchbox, but slightly longer) from his pocket, and said:

"Enchanted bullets are too wasteful, Zero Moon, all subsequent enchantments should be given to these "energy bombs", uh, you... you should still remember them, right? Sixth grade bomb enchantment course. "

"Nonsense," Zero Moon replied with a weak middle finger, "I make a living by enchanting, and unlike you, I only play with guns all day long."

While the two were communicating "efficiently", Zero Moon also turned his attention to Mia, who was observing the battlefield not far away.

To be honest, neither of the brothers is introverted or shy about socializing, but the former [Origin Star]'s illustrious reputation is really a bit scary.

According to reliable internal intelligence, less than a week ago, this school girl released [S-class contraband] directly in a densely populated area, and then created a large area in the middle city area which is very close to the inner city. Big restricted area of ​​life.

If the two brothers had caused this trouble, they would have been skinned by Brother Hui long ago.

And this school girl only received a very light warning, and she was still able to move freely outside the school!

This can no longer be said to be the school’s preference, this is simply the school’s ancestor!

Coupled with the sad, silent and indifferent temperament of the school girl, as well as her overly beautiful appearance, the two brothers had no idea of ​​striking up a conversation.

But now, everyone has been fatally attacked together. If we don't communicate now, we will be in trouble with our lives.

At least the education he received did not allow him to ignore his comrades.

"Mia-san, do you still have any inventory on hand? I mean, more effective weapons and so on, um, except for weapons of mass destruction."

In fact, Mia could always hear their conversation, but she had no idea of ​​communicating because she was also busy.

Unlike the two brothers who focused on fighting, while Mia was helping the [Protective Array] observe the battlefield, she was also more focused on obtaining information from the outside.

You know, [Origin Tree Academy] is not a simple educational institution in the traditional sense.

Every university, vocational college, and even laboratory in the [Academy District] is a very independent entity in terms of economy and military. Each of them is a huge comprehensive organization.

Even more so in institutions of higher learning.

As students of [Tree of Origins], Mia and the others were attacked by a suspected cult in their own "temporary command center". This in itself was a declaration of war against the school.

The place where they were attacked also belonged to the [Midtown Management Bureau] and the [Dulin City Council], so this incident was also a declaration of war by the cult organization on the entire city.

The real world is not an entertainment work that highlights a certain protagonist. A battle of this level will never be outside the school's control.

The student union is indeed filled with students, but they are far more reliable than some social elites.

In fact, as early as when the first bullet was fired here, not only the [Tree of Origin] responded, but a large number of other stakeholder organizations had also started taking action.

Most of these actions are public and made public on the Internet.

The dream network will not be cut off easily, and the dedicated encrypted network will only be more secure. Mia quickly got in touch with the school and learned about the situation outside——

Midtown rioted.

In nearly one-third of the city, a large number of well-equipped but chaotic troops sprang out.

They efficiently cleared the military targets of the [Midtown Administration Bureau], and then quickly spread the war, and a large number of local gangs were also involved in the war.

Calculating mentally or not, in just over an hour, most of Zhongcheng District had fallen.

In addition to a large number of firefighting areas, Mia's digital map has also been updated with the enemy's complete control area.

Imagine that the inner city covers an area of ​​more than 6 million square kilometers.

As a ring that supports the huge inner city, the overall area of ​​Zhongcheng District will only become larger, and the geographical span is also terrifyingly large.

Now, nearly one-third of the central city has become a completely controlled area by the enemy.

This is no longer just a riot, this is a war!

Therefore, when Zero Moon asked Mia, Mia subconsciously analyzed the battle situation from an overall perspective.

Not long after, Mia explained to the two brothers in a slightly hoarse and cold voice:

“There’s also a war going on outside, and it’s a very large-scale war.

Most schools have already established network sharing memorandums with the [Keeping the Enemy Machine] company. Now the social platform has become a command platform. In addition, the entire Dulin City has also entered a [wartime state].

The bad news is that neither the school nor the city council spared any time to help the three of us. The "temporary command center" under our feet is not a strategic point and has no practical value. Only the enemies outside care about us. Life or death.

The good news is that the area we are in is not far from the inner city, and there is no [enemy-controlled area] around it, so those who attack us should be small groups of specialized troops, and they do not have heavy firepower.

Oh, by the way, don’t worry about ammunition. Although the school can’t rescue us directly, I still applied for some resources. Well, they seem to have arrived. "

As she spoke, Mia's eyes suddenly turned to the sides of the attacking and defending sides.

The two brothers, who were listening to the explanation and browsing the forum, also stared blankly at the sky.

Gloomy clouds surged in the distance, and with some lightning and explosions of fire, a huge object poked out of the clouds.

It was a large, low-speed aircraft.

Unlike conventional aircraft, it does not rely on air lift to fly, nor does it use conventional jet engines, so it appears very quietly.

After the aircraft penetrated the clouds, a large number of rocket attacks immediately erupted on the ground. However, this level of attack was still a bit unnecessary for the energy shield of a large aircraft.

The speed of the big guy is indeed not very fast, but it does not take more than a few seconds to swoop down from the air.

The moment the aircraft hovered stably, its belly quickly popped open, and a dozen metal boxes were violently thrown down, hitting the ground heavily.

The box quickly unfolded, revealing a sturdy anti-fall frame, and further inside was a group of fully armed people.

They have the same, neutral face, and their movements and expressions are uniform. The mechanical metal armor on their bodies makes them look like mechanical structures with a full sense of technology.

"This is?" Zero Moon looked back at Mia and asked a brief question.

"The school hired professionals to save us."

Mia's answer was equally brief, but this was the first time she had seen this group of "legendary" mercenaries.

Soon, the professionals moved.

A large number of suspected clones, their eyes uniformly lit up with a blue glow.

Then they jumped out of the metal box very quickly, quickly formed a formation, and at the same time launched a dense firepower net towards the enemy.

There were not only "people" in the metal box, but also several huge beast-shaped drones, or mechanical structures.

These mechanical monsters were equipped with small cannons and penetrating metal claws. They pounced into the enemy group and began to mince meat.

Just as the three people in the blue light wall were staring dumbfoundedly at the efficient killing of these "professionals", another black shadow flew out from under the hovering aircraft.

This time the three of them understood. It was a man wearing mobile armor.

It's just that unlike the technologically advanced clone troopers in the front, the guy's mobile armor in the back is really dirty and old.

The overall silver-gray armor does not have any decorative patterns. It does not look like a regular product at all, but instead looks like something hammered out by a small workshop.

However, can a small workshop also make mobile armor?

The visitor relied on the ability of the [Super Mobile Module] to stay in the air and flew above the blue light wall.

While the three people below were hurriedly looking for "access authority", the person who came just raised his right hand slightly, and then the entire blue light wall and the entire [Protection Array] were closed.

As the wall of light dissipated, the man fell from the air in front of the three of them. He looked at the three stunned students and then said:

"Good afternoon, fellow students, welcome to use the [Have You Done] takeout service? I am "Lan Shui", the takeout guy from [Dream System]. Please confirm your school's order. It should have been sent to you.

This order is for the annihilation service, plus three direct seats to the inner city. It should be the three of you, right?

Okay, let's leave the war matters to the professional soldiers. You go to the bottom of the aircraft now. The boarding platform has been put down there. Probably, uh... I'll see, um, we'll set off in half an hour.

You can board the plane first. There are free drinks and food on it, as well as cheap arms for sale. Those rare items are hard to buy outside~"

From the first words spoken by this guy who called himself "Blue Water", Mia recognized this familiar and mean tone.

Yes, this guy is Aqua Regia.

The most speechless thing about Mia is that her "Brother Shui" seems to be very good at creating this kind of mysterious and relaxed atmosphere. He is very good at socializing. He only used a few words to make the other two students develop a faint trust. feel.

Although it was a bit inappropriate, after a little struggle, Mia still said it:

"You go first, I have something else to do."

Zero Moon's response was relatively quick. He asked directly:

"Is it a matter of investigation? Do you want to wait for Brother Hui here? The current situation is not good, right?

In fact, we can send a message to him and ask him to meet at the edge of the inner city and discuss the investigation then. This place is not suitable for our activities now. We are only students and have not graduated yet. "

After listening to Ling Yue's words, Mia's expression was still so solemn and stubborn. Obviously, she was not convinced.

When there was a slight stalemate, Wang Shui also interjected:

"What you are talking about seems to be my last order. Unfortunately, that order has not been settled yet, so I still need to be counted...

Let's do this. Let's stop at the [C-level command center] on the edge of the inner city and replenish some resources before taking action, okay? "

Wang Shui's words are almost the same as what Zero Moon meant.

But what surprised Ling Yue and "Lai Lan" was that their school girl immediately showed hesitation.

After two or three seconds of hesitation, Mia nodded and walked to the front of the team.
