Chapter 276 Rainforest Infantry Mercenary "Future Battlefield"

Inside the command module of Phantom III;

"Governor, the ground forces have completely surrounded the Macarena Mountains."

"Major MacTavish of the advance team has found the opponent's experimental base."

"The mercenary casualty rate has only increased, but we have obtained enough enemy data based on the electronic eyes of the dead mercenaries."

The crew members from Terraira obtained real-time conditions through the control panel in front of them and reported to Dorn, who was standing in the center of the cabin.

Moreover, this Phantom III is Dorn's special command boat when he directs battles in the atmosphere, so the height of the internal corridors and cabins have been deliberately increased and widened.

Otherwise, Dorne would "explode" the Phantom III in the opposite direction because the corridors and cabins were too "narrow" in an ordinary Phantom III.

At the same time, when joking with friends such as the dwarf Thorjan and the human Bomir, Dorn also needs to be "gentle and gentle" to avoid accidentally injuring or killing his friends.

At this moment, Dorn was listening to the crew's report, and after confirming that the ground battle was progressing smoothly based on the holographic screen suspended in front of him, he gave the order:

"Immediately airdrop four synths to the vicinity of Major McTavish's position to replace the advance team's assault mission."

"Yes, Governor."

As the crew responded, the Phantom III also faintly vibrated.

This shows that the synthetic man who was originally on standby in the lower area has used the individual airdrop pod in the atmosphere to quickly smash into the surface rainforest.

"And." At this time, Dorn ordered again:

"Save individual soldiers' cameras and combat records of all units, and then send them to Serin, the Investigation Department, and the Intelligence Department."

"Yes." Another crew member nodded in response.

Dorn is rigorous in his work, and since his father gave him the task of unifying the "Cyberpunk" universe, he is naturally prepared to take this opportunity to train his direct troops as much as possible.

Moreover, the individual strength of corporate mercenaries, security guards, and regular troops in the "Cyberpunk" universe is actually similar to that of corporate elites injected with Inquisi serum.

The Royal Capital Knights and AECS Veterans were able to present a crushing situation entirely due to their Atlas's powerful logistics, as well as individual soldier equipment and standard weapons, which were more advanced than most companies in the universe.

If the company had not deployed nearly 70% of the main clone clones in the "Halo" universe, and the total number exceeds one million, then "Cyberpunk" would not be able to stop the seemingly endless elite "cannon fodder".

After all, the clones inherited the combat experience and relevant data of their previous generation from the moment they came off the production line, and all of them were considered elite veterans.

What's more, if a clone is killed in battle, the company will only lose an insignificant, extremely small "little bit" on the account. However, if a human soldier with a soul is killed in battle, Dorn will be extremely heartbroken.

He did not want the casualties of his compatriots to be too large, and he did not want the troops directly under his jurisdiction to suffer unbearable losses.

Therefore, before the second batch of human fists implanted with gene seeds and completed basic training return to the team, Dorn needs to make all kinds of decisions. He does not have his father's [Reset] ability.

At the same time, this is also why Dorn realized that applying the highly mature prosthetic technology of "Cyberpunk" to their Atlas biological weapons may further reduce the casualties of frontline soldiers.

You must know that the cyberpsychosis that plagues local residents is not a problem at all for synthetics and clones.

Especially synthetic humans with self-awareness. They are artificial creatures and will not show any rejection of prosthetic limbs and bodies.

When the transfer of consciousness is ensured, even the brain can be replaced.

The four synthesizers just dispatched were "upgraded models" equipped with "Cyberpunk" prosthetics by Terraela's Biological Department.

As for the test force, Dorn is planning to let the group of teenagers "explore the path" for the company's human soldiers.

The power and effect of the prosthetic body are secondary. What Atlas values ​​​​is safety.

Therefore, when the biology department develops a new prosthetic body, it will be tested by D and other personnel first. When it is mature enough, the test force will provide the data.

Of course, the Department of Biology must also ensure the physical and mental health of the members of the experimental force, and this is Dorn's death order.

As for the human rights of D-class personnel, they are not considered by Dorn.

At this time, between the rainforests on the surface;

Boom. Boom!

Da da da!

There were explosions and gunshots everywhere.

This shows that the original body, which is maintained at an average of 40% by military technology soldiers, is still resisting to the death.

However, they may also be forced to install "insurance measures" by military technology, and then have to fight Atlas.

After all, in the "Cyberpunk" universe, one of the most "cheap" resources is the population.

Boom, boom.

Suddenly, a black-painted Cyclops and two fully armored Tyrants took the lead through the dense forest and arrived at a more open area.

Following closely behind was an infantry combat platoon from the Royal Capital Knights.

The mechanical skeletons of these infantrymen are equipped with armor forged by dwarves. The overall painting is mainly black, but the details are silver and yellow to distinguish them from the units of other branches of the company.

The helmet with a built-in holographic screen also has the style of Terraira's knights.

And the second lieutenant who is responsible for commanding the combat platoon has a red mane decoration on his helmet, and even has a half-sleeved yellow cape on his right shoulder.

As for the firearms in hand, they are Gauss firearms improved by the dwarf factory, while the non-commissioned officers and second lieutenants use the BFG series.

Although they were tightly wrapped and seemed extremely hot, their combat uniforms had their own temperature regulation system.

It avoids mosquito bites and high temperature.

The duty of this combat platoon is to coordinate with the Cyclops and Tyrant to advance steadily toward the Macarena Mountains in the south.

under the helmet;

The second lieutenant can clearly see all movements of friendly forces through the abbreviated radar in the upper left corner of the screen.

Sometimes a red dot representing the enemy will appear, but within a moment, it will be destroyed by friendly units.

Therefore, they encountered little resistance after being deployed to the front lines in transport vehicles.

We continued on for a while.

The Cyclops, which had a stronger pulse scanning and dynamic detection system, suddenly stopped, raised the rotating Gauss cannon attached to its left arm, and aimed it at the southern woods.

Then, Luesuo's radar showed that there was a mercenary team of their own in an area about one kilometer away from their location, surrounded by a large number of "red dots".

Then, the helmet screen flashed the "Help Calling" reminder again.

The ensign opened it and heard——

"This is da! Da! Fuck! This is the 0076 mercenary team! We need support! Mad, these dogs have optical camouflage...!"

Real-time request for help from the 0076 team leader.

Hearing this, the Cyclops pilot asked on their team's communication channel:

"Lieutenant, do you need to provide them with fire support?"

"Provide." The second lieutenant said, then raised the commander BFG rifle in his hand and continued:

"Everyone locks onto the enemy units and waits for my command to launch a volley of fire."

After receiving a clear signal, the infantrymen of this combat platoon, with the help of the "vision" provided by the Cyclops, locked on the target for the first round of killing.

Beep-beep-.

Moreover, the subtle sound of locking and marking also echoed in the second lieutenant's ears.

On the other hand, the Cyclops and the two Tyrants were more "simple and crude", they just pointed the muzzles of their respective machine guns in the general direction of the enemy.

Seeing that everyone was ready, the second lieutenant immediately ordered:

"Fire."

Ta-ta-ta! !

Bang-bang-! !

Guns fired.

Tracer spiked bullets with blue trajectories, as well as armor-piercing, high-explosive and other different types of spiked bullets, instantly "cut off" the dense forest in front of everyone.

Even though most of the first spiked bullets to be discharged could not hit targets as far as one kilometer away, everyone's index fingers did not even think of leaving the trigger, and they continued to output firepower in the distance.

Within seconds, everything in their path was destroyed by their firepower.

And on the abbreviated radar, the red dots representing the enemy are rapidly decreasing until they completely disappear.

Seeing this, everyone released their index fingers from the trigger.

Ri~

The sound of the Cyclops's rotating Gauss cannon gradually slowing down was echoing in the forest where they were.

After confirming that the threat from the mercenary team was eliminated, the infantry of the Knights began to replace their magazines one by one.

The second lieutenant looked at the Macarena Mountains again and said:

"Perform the original mission, let's go."

After the words fell, the infantrymen who had finished changing the magazines continued to work with Cyclops and Tyrant to go deep into the forest until they could no longer be observed with their eyes.

As for the 0076 team receiving fire assistance;

"Call for help!"

A long-armed mercenary wearing a uniform and armor with the red and white "Λ" logo of Atlas sat slumped on the damp soil and gasped for air.

Looking around this mercenary team, there were fallen tree trunks, branches and leaves, as well as the remains of corpses killed by spike bombs and magnetic nail cannons of various calibers, while liquid mixed with blood and "motor oil" seeped into the soil.

And the captain of this mercenary team is none other than Mann, who is extremely strong.

The long-armed mercenary who looked like he was breathing heavily was Rebekah's brother Pyrrha.

Driver Falco, hacker Qiwei and Mann's deputy and lover Dorio are also members of this mercenary team.

In addition, there are several guys who are also from Night City.

Since being forced to participate in the war, Mann and others have completely realized that nothing is more important than living.

The various errands in Night City were nothing more than a little fuss in kindergarten compared with the wars they had participated in for more than half a month.

It's true that Atlas's weapons are advanced, but its military technology isn't bad either.

So the worst thing is that they are the mercenaries who serve as the vanguard and are regarded as cannon fodder by both sides.

Perhaps after leaving Night City, their luck seemed to have improved, and they managed to survive until now.

If Atlas completely captures the Macarena Mountains and seizes all the factories and equipment of military technology, then they will also be "released" and can return to Night City, which is being rebuilt.

In addition, Atlas will also pay them their due commissions and related subsidies.

Take a break.

Mann stood up, his electronic eyes had already displayed the latest mission content, and he said:

"Stop complaining. Only by paying off your debt can you enjoy happiness."

"Hey, I have to be a cow and horse for Atlas again!"

Pila picked up the firearm unsteadily, followed Mann and his teammates, and went deep into the rainforest again.

In fact, the closest friendly units to Mann and others were the four synths who had just completed the airdrop.

However, this group of artificial species, whose thinking logic is similar to that of intelligent AI, directly chose to ignore the call for help.

Because from the perspective of the four synths, mercenaries are "non-staff employees" and are not formal members of the company.

Moreover, the superiors have already incorporated the mercenaries into the "expendable" unit, so in their eyes, rushing to the location of Soap and others is the top priority.

At the foot of the Macarena Mountains;

Four synths wearing optical camouflage combat uniforms crossed a turbulent river and finally arrived at the rendezvous point.

From the perspective of ordinary people, there is no figure here, only dense forests and half-human-high thorns.

Sigh.

However, the sound of the thorns being twisted and broken indicates that the synths and the advance team are all maintaining the stealth mode.

"."

Xiao Qiang under the helmet can know the specific location of each comrade and synth with the help of the body outline outlined on the screen.

Moreover, above the outlines of the comrades, the words "Soap", "Ghost", "Zero Point" and so on were displayed.

As for the synths, they were numbered "SH·P-001" and "SH·P-002".

At this time, Soap marked a green box on the front of the screen and said to the synth No. 001:

"According to the investigation of our advance team, the marked point is the escape exit that leads to the inside of the mountain, and the inside should be an experimental base for military technology."

Soap paused here and continued: "According to the original plan, our advance team should break in.

However, the superiors need more actual combat data about you, so the task of breaking into the escape exit will be handed over to you.

Our advance team will keep a distance and move forward with you. If necessary, we can also provide support as soon as possible."

"Okay, Major."

The pleasant reply from 001 came on the communication channel.

Xiaoqiang was not too surprised by this, because when they met, he found that 001 and 003 were "female" through the outline of their figures on the screen.

As soon as 001 finished her reply, she and her three companions "disappeared" in the dense forest.

With the visual assistance provided by the advanced combat suit (nano suit) and the enhanced native vision, Xiaoqiang could see that the synthetic man "accelerated" six or even seven times and headed towards the escape exit.

"I always feel awkward when I see this prosthetic body." Seeing this, Soap raised his hand to signal everyone to continue moving forward, and complained:

"Anyway, I won't let the company help me install it, it's better to have my own native parts."

"Yeah." Ghost agreed and said:

"That's why the company asked the synthetic man to install the prosthetic body. I guess in the future battlefield, we human soldiers may gradually be in the rear."
