Chapter 916: Change of Route to Washington

"Good morning, Night City!"

"Let's take a look at what's news today - super hurricane Natalie, which is rare in a century, is about to land in Europe. According to the European Meteorological Service, this typhoon will even cause heavy rain in inland areas. It seems that our hard work Lao Ou has to work overtime again.”

"Speaking of which, do you know why typhoons are always named after women? The answer will be revealed in the next issue."

Snap.

Colorado, the former headquarters of the U.S. Air Force, has been evacuated, leaving only ruins.

In the era of seizing low-Earth orbit space, conflicts between countries and companies continued. The United States had not been eaten up by the four major departments at that time. On the surface, it barely maintained its dignity, and its military strength was still top-notch——

The U.S. Aerospace Force is still a well-known force. After all, this is the country that completed the Apollo program. At that time, everyone should pay attention to this force.

In order to seize resources in low-Earth orbit, the U.S. Aerospace Forces had a direct conflict with the Soviet Union. The first landing operation in human history involving Marine Corps members wearing spacesuits conducted in outer space directly attacked the Soviet Union's near-Earth satellites. Orbital space station.

Due to the sudden incident, the U.S. Aerospace Force defeated the Soviets who had not made many plans. The battle lasted for six hours, and the space station gradually fell.

Until their allies, ESA sends orders to the Orbital Mass Projector on the lunar colony of Tycho -

A meteorite fell, completely destroying the headquarters of the United States Aerospace Forces, shattering the American dream of space dominance, and the new overlord ESA came to power.

But this meteorite was not cruel enough. At the headquarters of the Air Force, a woman named Elizabeth Kress survived and was also the only survivor. Perhaps this kind of survivor really has some mystical bonuses. This Elizabeth will be in the future. Controlled military technology, unified the federal states after the American Civil War, and established a new United States.

Rosalind Miles is the new United States that she inherited from her. Both are pure militants.

It is necessary to return to space, otherwise we will have to die on earth. Although the unification process of military technology that has been prepared for several years has been broken, an unexpected opportunity has come.

EBM extended an invitation to them for cooperation.

In the car, V waved his hand and asked Damai to turn off the radio.

".If the new United States is allowed to regroup and the aerospace force is rebuilt, we will never be able to raise our head again for the rest of our lives.

Alas, I obviously just wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth in the Night City, but why did I become so disgraced after having money? "

V had just attacked a convoy transporting supplies in Colorado. Together with Adecado, he stopped an entire new American army in the bad land. He still smelled of gun smoke and had a turban on his head, barely tying up his hair. .

Although he is disgraced, his conversational manner still has the essence of being a big brother.

In the trunk, Jack moved around, put on his helmet, and shrugged.

Both of them are wearing New American uniforms. If you use a drone to observe from a high altitude, you will only see a new American armored vehicle with no abnormalities, and it is even co-branded with military technology.

A baby octopus appears in the air:

[Little Octopus: Mom, the chip is loaded, we can enter Washington directly. 】

V and Jack attacked a new American transport convoy in order to obtain internal signals from the vehicles and soldiers to successfully gain the ability to conceal their identity.

In order to achieve this goal, they must avoid killing everyone to paralyze their combat systems when facing an entire military technology team, while only causing limited damage to vehicles, drones and other intelligent combat units.

Normally, even if Adecado already has sufficient combat capabilities, it is unlikely to be possible. With Jack and V, it is different.

Another silent raid, and as usual it would be several hours before New America got the answer.

Now in the electronic observation system, whether it is a prosthetic eye or a camera, as long as it is a new American and military technology device, you can only see a vehicle in transit.

A few hours were enough for them to enter the Air Force headquarters outside Washington.

[DaMai: The destination is just ahead! The drone is approaching! 】

On the spacious transportation route, the patrolling drone quickly discovered this vehicle with an unusual schedule——

The new U.S. Aerospace Forces headquarters under construction stands within sight of the naked eye. From its appearance alone, it looks like a fortress-like orbital aviation airport!

It's close enough!

The helmet was buckled, the window was raised, and the huge electromagnetic sniper gun barrel popped out of the window——

Bang!

One shot destroyed the leading octant drone!

The huge cargo bay door of Mackinac Legend slowly opened, and several auxiliary drones quickly took off. Jack, wearing a huge combat mecha, shouldered a heavy rocket launcher and aimed it at the bunker——

boom!

Fire shot into the sky.

In the empty bad land, drones and troops are overwhelming——

This time, V only brought Jack with him, and no one else, for one reason.

This mission was almost a suicide operation.

call!

The wind howled, everything around was dark, and there was only darkness and occasional lightning outside the window——

Matt has always faced a problem in the two years since he became a professional athlete:

How is it that you can maintain an almost perfect heartbeat rhythm during such an intense exercise, making it look as if your heart has never been overloaded with the activity?

The power brought by the lizard prosthetic body is only one of the reasons. After all, the opponents are basically over-enhanced teenagers.

But the real reason is that he witnessed the battle in Dog Town with his own eyes and faced the hail of bullets. Faced with this, how could the passion of sports put him in a situation where he was so nervous that he could not control himself?

And today, this feeling has escalated again!

They were flying through the thunderclouds!

Sports competition has never given Matt such a terrifying sense of oppression!

The solid Mackinac floating figure looked so small in the storm. At high speed, the storm made people feel that it would crush the car and deform it——

Ever since he got the lizard prosthetic body, Matt had never felt such an exaggerated sense of powerlessness. Facing the power of nature, his heart trembled, as if he had gone back to the first time he faced a hail of bullets and the first time he stood in voodoo. Helping strongholds, that feeling of being at a loss

"Brother, brother, brother, brother--!"

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

"Hold on tight!"

Matt felt that all the muscles in his body were stiff, and his father even woke up once and fainted again, foaming at the mouth!

Lear's additional arms and arms are directly connected to the car's power system. The blue light can almost blind people's eyes. With the blessing of quantum computers, the magnetic fluid generator does its best to offset the influence of turbulence, lasting The ion jet sent them into the high altitude little by little——

At a certain moment, all darkness disappeared.

The thick dark clouds were thrown down beneath me, and what came into view was the cloudless sky.

Matt took a breath——

If you raise your head, you can still see tiny artificial satellites floating in low-Earth orbit. Some are broken and some are still running.

[Muramasa: Let me take a look. Yes, there are satellites available. I will try to connect. 】

The Mackinac buoy maintains a steady speed and moves deeper into higher altitudes, eventually reaching a height of 100 kilometers.

At that altitude, Muramasa could use the communication components removed from the Europa spire to tentatively access satellites in the sky——

Those satellites in the Internet era are now basically under the control of the wandering AI. As the dangerous critical body with the longest history of wandering in the car, Muramasa still has some means to take it back.

This was not something planned, but something Muramasa wanted to do casually.

After reaching the target altitude, the glider will begin to move in the horizontal direction——

With the help of a controllable magnetic fluid glider and continuous thruster power supply, this unattractive aircraft can reach a final speed of Mach 3, cruise at high altitudes at supersonic speeds, and finally land in North America.

It was this access that allowed Muramasa to discover an unexpected gain.

[Muramasa: Someone is attacking the new U.S. Air Force command in Washington. Oh, crap. 】

As soon as Muramasa finished speaking, he realized who the attacker was——

And he also realized it.

Lille is changing its route again: from Night City to Washington.
