Chapter 92 Reality, a Little Bit Skinny
Chapter 92 · Reality, a little bit bleak
When the distance of the battlefield is far enough to be decorated with art, death itself becomes aesthetics. It is the flickering sparks when the machinery collapses, the aurora sky generated by the disturbance of the ionosphere, and the rainbow bridge formed by the evaporation, gathering and rising of the body fluids of living things. It is the insignificance of human hearts reflected in the grand orbital war.
Hundreds of orbital warships are entangled with each other, and thousands of orbital fighters are fighting each other. Lasers, lasers, missile groups, rail guns, colorful bright lines pass through the aurora sky, and at the end of almost every line, a group of scarlet sparks that may be magnificent or tragic are splashed.
Then-the land-based anti-orbital artillery from the surface joins the battlefield.
There are a total of twelve to fifteen blue light columns, which extend from the ground to the sky, and each one accurately hits, or cooperates to hit, an orbital warship that is several kilometers long-the shield force field appears, and then quickly overloads. In the end, the huge ship turned into a burning fireball, most of which remained in orbit or thrown into outer space, while a small part fell to the surface and turned into brighter fireworks in the friction of the atmosphere.
The battle situation is clearly leaning towards the side of Weyland Company - this is actually a matter of course. Because even if Walmart can win, it should be after the end of Alien 3 and the start of Alien 4. Before that, the weaver of fate still needs Weyland Company to provide the world stage for Alien 2 and 3. Therefore, even if the reincarnations leave the surface artillery alone, the final result will not change. Weyland may pay a greater defensive price for this, but the final victory or defeat will not be shifted - unless the aliens decide to backstab Weyland at this moment.
——Of course, that will not happen.
Jiang Yu stared at the gorgeous battlefield in front of him, trying his best to ignore the gasps and shouts beside his ears. He reviewed the battle situation in his mind, and soon realized that Chu Xuan's strategy of interfering with the ground defense system first gave the Zhongzhou team a very advantageous start - when the artillery array was online again, the Zhongzhou team that rushed into the battlefield on the shuttle would basically no longer be at risk of being killed by stray bullets. Because the comparison of strategic forces has changed dramatically, and the value of the personnel on board this shuttle has also increased significantly.
Although it was just a cheap mission worth 400 points.
But although the reward was small, its existence itself was enough to become the fulcrum of the battle situation - Jiang Yu even thought that perhaps even these 400 reward points were given by the Lord God reluctantly. And its purpose may be to remind everyone in the Zhongzhou team that such action decisions are correct.
Ah... Correct a little. To be precise, it is 500 reward points. Zhan Lan, who provided mental support, also received 100 points. I don't know if these 100 reward points are enough for Zhan Lan to repair his own mental power.
... Maybe it's enough?
"Everyone, we have about five minutes to reach the 'Covenant' space station." In the cockpit, the synthetic bishop suddenly said a reminder.
The "Covenant" is a name that makes people's eyes go dark, but it is also full of a certain sense of right and wrong. As the name of the colony ship in the second part of Prometheus, if nothing unexpected happens with this name... then there will definitely be an accident related to the alien.
"The Covenant? This name sounds really weird." Zheng Zha carried his beloved big battle axe and casually said it to liven up the atmosphere.
"It doesn't matter whether it's weird or not." And Jiang Yu also guided the topic. "The point is that there must be research related to the alien on it and I guess it must have gone out of control."
A natural guess-this is the case for the reincarnationists.
But for others other than the reincarnationists, this argument may mean more.
The synthetic bishop paused. "Sorry, I am not authorized to disclose information about confidential projects. Even if your confidentiality level is actually sufficient."-It has actually been revealed, and the confidentiality level is sufficient but it is not said. That can only prove that it is true, and there is a higher level of authority to suppress it.
This is a trick-a trick from the fleet commander in this area.
"I don't think there's any need for a classified level." Chu Xuan suddenly spoke up and answered, "Because normally, since it's only a few minutes away, even if we don't have a mission brief, we should at least have a rescue target. However, we don't have anything on hand now, so I think the only option left is to annihilate all living things."
A hint-Jiang Yu didn't understand it at first, but Xia reminded him.
"So I remember we didn't sign the "cross-departmental cooperation application"? Under normal circumstances, I'm still a little reluctant to clean up colleagues." Jiang Yu, who understood it, leaned against his seat and said, looking at the void outside. "And it seems that we are not indispensable on this battlefield. Maybe we should stay in the spectator seat?"
The reincarnations looked at each other, and then they all agreed, nodded, approved, and pretended to be bad.
Lies, the reincarnations can't wait to rush into the Covenant Space Station and overthrow everything that stands in the way until they get the black water. However, since the situation seems to have changed, it's not impossible to pretend.
After all, there seems to be a pit of "unclear authority and responsibility" here - without anyone's prior endorsement, the Zhongzhou team, which has sufficient authority, needs to bear the consequences of everything they do in the Covenant Space Station. Of course, the final outcome is probably that the merits and demerits after victory will offset each other or even have a slight surplus, but since the location of the pit has been discovered and it is not an emergency... it is better to let the responsible person take the responsibility.
A projection suddenly replaced the strategic map in the center of the shuttle - the fleet commander who had not shown his face from the beginning finally showed his classic middle-aged tough guy figure to the eyes of the reincarnations.
"Sorry, there was a technical problem before. Some intelligence files were lost during the transmission process. The corresponding person in charge here has accepted the punishment, and I hope this will not affect our cooperation." - The tone is very sincere, and the content is very perfunctory. Boring office tricks have been the same from hundreds of years ago to now.
"We hope this is the last "technical problem." Chu Xuan pushed his glasses and said only this sentence.
"There won't be a next time." The fleet commander on the other end of the communication line remained calm, as if he really didn't mean it. "Something has happened inside the Covenant. It is certain that the core area has been completely disconnected, but there are still a small number of scientists and enemy forces entrenched in that area. In the previous battles, my people have witnessed the activities of many experimental subjects."
"Those experimental subjects... are very tricky. Although they are not very useful on the front battlefield, it is difficult for my people to advance quickly. At the same time, the destruction of the Covenant is completely unacceptable to the company. At the very least, I hope you can control the reactor of the Covenant, shut it down, and then all the out-of-control experimental subjects and hostile company members can be annihilated. But if you have the spare capacity, I hope to save the lives of the company's employees as much as possible and allow them to successfully evacuate to a safe point."
"The specific intelligence details are all here, and for all the losses of the company's property caused by you in this operation, I will bear the corresponding consequences."
It's interesting that the priority is the Covenant itself. Then the company's employees. As for the experimental subjects and raw materials, they are completely not considered as key considerations. And this can only prove one thing.
[I can already scan the Covenant... Hmm, the middle part is invisible. But this structural diagram... is a bit strange. ]
Mind network, image synchronization completed. What appeared in the eyes of the reincarnations was a huge flying disc-shaped space station. In the middle, there was a shielding area that could be seen as hiding a big monster, and there were many strange connection structures between the inner and outer rings, which looked like a restrainer.
The outer ring restrained the inner ring-it was obvious that as long as the imagination was a little stronger, it could be known that the Weyland Company had simply transformed the entire engineer spacecraft into part of the space station. So for the company, the space station itself was the most valuable. Because black water can always be stored somewhere, and the engineer spacecraft is a real orphan!
Very good.
Jiang Yu's eyes turned and looked at the information given by the fleet commander-the improved version of the guard alien and the queen were already appearing in groups on the battlefield. It seems that one of the greatest achievements of the Weyland Company is to remove the pyramid structure of the alien race.
He and Zheng Zha looked at each other.
"Then, the next question is battlefield command."
…………………………
Arrived on time in five minutes.
When the shuttle carrying the reincarnations approached the Covenant, the fleet of Walmart was already retreating step by step - they were still struggling, but they could not pose much threat. At least no fleet would have the spare power to attack the shuttle where the reincarnations were, and multiple orbital fighters also surrounded the shuttle to provide minimum wing protection.
The threat was not great - the Lord God did not let the reincarnations crash into the fierce space battle battlefield without any ability to intervene. Of course, if Chu Xuan had not found the problem of the land-based artillery in advance, it might take some thrilling twists and turns to get here. However, in the five minutes when the shuttle approached the target, the land-based anti-orbital artillery array fired at least five times. And each time, a small part of the Walmart fleet turned into space debris.
And the reincarnations of the Zhongzhou team successfully put their feet on the cargo platform of the Covenant during the sixth bombardment.
This is boarding.
But it was not quite like what I imagined.
Hundreds of Weland infantrymen were stationed around the wide cargo platform, firing at various passages and advancing slowly. In Zhan Lan's sight, a large number of improved aliens were entrenched behind the passage not far away.
