Chapter 362 "Potential" Prestige Wangchuanyue

?

Hearing that another new soldier had signed up, Sim turned around and looked at the other party.

The female new soldier named Frost also handed the paper document to Sergeant Sim.

"."

While Sergeant Sim was reading the document, Frost also cast his eyes on Lyon.

To be precise, Frost was looking at another male new soldier next to Lyon.

Seeing this, Lyon glanced at the guy next to him.

He was not very tall and strong, but he had a standard body shape, a firm demeanor, and a handsome face, which was comparable to that of Lyon.

With Lyon's experience of reading countless people and his extraordinary intuitive judgment, Lyon believed that the guy next to him named Johnny Rico was definitely a good seedling.

If Johnny Rico was given a four-month special training in the way of an investigator, he might have the potential to become an elite investigator who could stand on his own.

But at this moment, Johnny Rico looked at Frost with a little confusion on his face.

Lyon, who was already a veteran in the love field, saw at a glance that there was something fishy between the two young men.

However, Lyon was able to use this to get closer to Johnny Rico and form a "team".

"Did you specifically ask to come to this unit?"

At this time, Sergeant Sim, who confirmed that the documents were correct, looked at Frost and asked.

"Sir! I heard that this is the most strict and elite! Sir!"

Frost reported loudly.

"This is indeed the best, but." Sergeant Sim changed the subject and raised his voice and asked:

"Do you think you are qualified?!"

These words were obviously intended to demonstrate to Frost.

And Frost was not to be outdone.

She threw the backpack she carried with her into the distance, then took off her somewhat restrained formal uniform, and then took a fighting stance to test.

The confrontation between the two sides was about to break out.

Frost's alternating straight punches and swinging punches, coupled with active attacks, did give her a certain advantage in the early stage.

But Sim was an instructor after all, and he had rich practical experience. He used a side whip kick to make Frost lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Then, Sim pressed his knee against Frost's neck.

After Frost fell into a coma due to suffocation, Sergeant Sim stood up, looked around at the recruits present, and continued loudly:

"Now, who else thinks they can beat me? You can come and try! The winner who beats me will be the captain of the team directly!"

"Sir! I think I can!"

A big guy with a height of nearly two meters raised his hand to signal.

Sim raised his hand to signal that the big guy could attack at any time.

As for the result

The big guy did not take much advantage, and even had his right forearm twisted by Sergeant Sim, and was finally carried away by the medical soldiers of the training camp.

Now, the recruits on the scene seemed to be completely convinced by Instructor Sim.

"You are all a bunch of cowards! Monkeys! If there is no next challenger, you will..."

"Sir!"

Just as Sim was about to let the recruits in front of him start training, Leon raised his right hand at the right time and shouted:

"Recruit Scott requests a challenge, sir!"

"Step out!"

"Sir, yes, sir!"

Lyon, who was approved, walked through the crowd and stopped about three meters away from Sim.

"Boy, the crime of interrupting the instructor's lecture is not light or heavy. If you lose, your fate will be worse than that stupid King Kong just now!"

As Sim said this, he took a defensive posture of military fighting skills, obviously letting Leon attack first.

Lyon didn't say much, just stepped forward quickly and threw a feint, forcing Sim to dodge to the left.

At this time, Leon's right swing was already close to Sim's chin.

The two sides just fought and the winner was decided.

However, Leon had no intention of winning. He only wanted to take this opportunity to improve his reputation.

So when his right fist was about to collide with Sim's chin, he slowed down the force in time so that Sim could react.

Bang-bang-! Two muffled sounds.

Leon and Sim's jaws were attacked by each other at the same time.

Both of them couldn't help but lose their balance and lie back.

Sim, who was hit by a "heavy punch", even though he was a little dizzy, still instinctively rolled back and distanced himself from Leon.

Leon also had the same action.

Next.

Leon continued to "act", while Sim went all out.

While Leon was preparing to "lose both sides" to save Sim's face and increase his influence among the recruits, the "Alien" universe numbered "15" was also infiltrating in an orderly manner.

However, the situation faced by the "15" front-line base is much more severe than that of the "14" universe, which is relatively peaceful and "before the storm".

Because the human colony where the "15" front-line base is located has also suffered from the "insect plague".

Although the overall threat level of the aliens cannot compete head-on with the huge number of Arach Zerg, their individual intelligence is smarter than that of the Arach Zerg and they react quickly.

And they did not directly launch an insect tide attack like the Arach Zerg, but wandered deep in the rainforest or raided villages with fewer people.

Of course, the number of aliens wreaking havoc in the human colony at this stage is initially estimated to be about 20,000.

But even so, the aliens' "guerrilla warfare" strategy still left the local police, militia, and colonial marines stationed there helpless.

Whenever there is a report of "insect plague" in a village, it means that the village has fallen.

Even if the colonial marines rushed over in a transport boat, it was too late.

The farmers and residents living in the village have long been abducted by the aliens and used as "fertilized eggs" to expand the size of the group, as well as biomass that provides sufficient nutrition for the new aliens.

However, when the colonial marines take the initiative to attack, the aliens will hide deep in the rainforest and are nowhere to be found.

Therefore, the colonial governor had to issue a proclamation to all residents, calling on people to immediately go to large towns or the colonial capital to take shelter.

After all, only towns and capitals with high-voltage power grids and steel walls can effectively avoid being attacked by aliens.

As for the residents who are unwilling to follow the advice and still choose to stay where they are, they can only ask for their own blessings.

The Colonial Marines stationed locally numbered only a little over 100 people and were an "incomplete" combat company.

This combat company participated in the rebel extermination battle two months ago, resulting in the number of combat personnel being directly reduced by half.

In addition, the company's mothership was also seriously damaged, so it was temporarily stationed in this large colony called "Forget the River Moon".

The combat company was originally planning to rely on Wangchuan Yue for supplies of personnel, materials, etc., but no one could have imagined that an "insect plague" actually broke out in Wangchuan Yue.

However, after the commander of this combat company sought support from his superiors, the result he received was:

"Just protect yourself and return directly to the team after the company has finished resting, and be prepared to continue participating in the rebel encirclement and suppression.

As for the "Xenomorph" insect plague, it is left to Weyland Yutani's private security team. "

In this regard, the Marines had no choice but to follow orders from their superiors and would continue to take the initiative unless the situation became uncontrollable.

The "First Five" frontline base was able to obtain so much detailed information because Gary "Little Qiang" Sanderson, who was responsible for the initial integration and was already a lieutenant colonel, used a joint team of advance teams and investigators to The result of the investigation team's multi-faceted infiltration.

The capital, which is the size of a "small city" in the main universe, is located on the northern coast of the Forget River lunar equator.

This should be one of the few plains in Wangchuan Yue that is suitable for colonization and living. The nearest rainforest to the outskirts of the capital is more than ten kilometers away.

The architectural style of the capital city of Lethe is similar to that of Harvest and Reach in the "Halo" universe.

There are also tall, dense mega-structures, and the streets and blocks are regularly laid out. Official airships shuttle between the streets and the buildings.

However, the colonial urban style of the "Alien" universe is more "heavy industrial".

And there are also "legal" red light districts in areas far away from the city center and commercial streets.

Bars, nightclubs, strip joints, etc. are all available.

Because the local network of the colony has a delay calculated in "days" or even "months" from the earth and the solar system.

As adult residents responsible for labor and development, if you want to relax and unwind after work, the best way is to go to the red light district.

After all, the soft industry of the "Alien" universe lags far behind the main universe and the "Halo" universe.

Putting aside the details, if aliens want to launch a raid and infiltrate into the capital, it will no longer be as easy as in villages and towns.

What's more, on the outskirts of the capital, a high-voltage power grid is set up to protect against local ferocious animals.

On the periphery of the city, there is a steel city wall with fixed turrets.

The private army belonging to Weiland Yutani conducts patrols and inspections outside the city.

The police, who are staffed by local people, are responsible for ordinary incidents in urban areas and suburbs.

Unless the number of aliens reaches a certain level and forms an insect tide similar to the Araki Zerg, it is possible to fully invade the capital.

Otherwise, the aliens would have to rely on other means first, such as urban underground systems such as wastewater canals, and gradually penetrate into all aspects of the capital.

The reason why Wangchuan Yue set up strict defenses actually had nothing to do with the aliens.

The current time in the "Alien" universe is September 10, 2184.

Sui Yang used the Intelligence Department to pass detailed information on the "Alien" universe to Xiaoqiang, who was in charge of the "First Five" frontline base.

The time node of "Alien 1" is 2122, "Alien 2" is 2179, and "Alien 3" is between 2179 and 2181.

The "Alien" universe numbered "One Five" is in the stage after this trilogy.

Therefore, since the fall of Lv-426, and various related information have been exposed, aliens are no longer considered confidential matters to the higher-ups within the human race.

The reason for heavy defense is that remote colonies far away from the earth, as well as some colonies where scavengers, exiles and prisoners are the main groups, have launched rebellions one after another.

And giant companies like Weyland Yutani Corporation are no longer satisfied with the current status quo and have begun to privately form space fleets and well-equipped mercenaries.

In addition, in the "Alien" universe, it is not only the alien race that threatens human existence, but also ferocious creatures on livable planets, or mysterious intelligent civilizations like the Predator. This has led to all planets, satellites and satellites under the control of various governments. The space station is always in a state of war readiness.

Therefore, the police and militia, which are responsible for handling daily chores and composed of local people in Forget River, almost "wholeheartedly" assist the colonial marines and Weyland Yutani's private army to jointly fight against all enemies that threaten the colony. power.

now.

The capital of the month of Lethe, known as "Argos", was in the local evening.

View from above.

You can vaguely see the traffic flowing between the streets, and the pedestrians on both sides of the streets are denser than usual.

However, after finishing their daily work, local residents did not hang out outside as usual. Instead, they hurried to their respective residences and rental houses.

The orbital elevator and surface starport established in the center of Argos are also operating continuously.

The panic caused by the alien insect plague has spread to the entire Wangchuan Yuexing.

The wealthy people living in the capital of Argos are naturally able to buy tickets and passes for their families to immigrate, and use orbital elevators and surface starports to escape to other large colonies that are not yet in war.

But as residents from ordinary families or even poor classes, they had no choice but to hide back home quickly.

Although aliens are not yet able to wreak havoc in Argos on a large scale, many people have disappeared recently, and videos and images of even sightings of aliens have begun to circulate on the local Internet.

Discussion posts on the Internet claimed that hundreds of aliens might have gathered in the sewers of Argos.

In addition, some netizens also deliberately posted negative remarks such as the government has abandoned Wangchuan Yue, and the rich can escape while the poor can only die, making the panic intensify.

Fortunately, the police cyborgs and the local governor's office's artificial intelligence accurately screened and deleted a large number of negative comments.

While allowing Argos to still maintain normal operations, it can also prevent organizations with ulterior motives from causing riots to the greatest extent possible.

The so-called organizations with ulterior motives were the local police station and the Governor's Mansion. They discovered that there were words on the Internet such as "Take refuge in the great creation!"

"They are not monsters, they are gods from high latitudes, messengers who lead our evolution!" and other neurotic remarks.

Maybe there is a cult within Argos that regards aliens as creatures of the gods.

And it is members of such an organization who are willing to act as "fertilized eggs" and carry alien embryos into Argos, making the situation even more chaotic.

The forces of the Human Empire, which seemed to be "turning a blind eye" to everything on the Moon of Forgotten River, had actually deployed more than a thousand elite troops into Argos a few days ago with the convenience provided by optical camouflage. throughout.

Now, as the commander-in-chief of the "First Five" frontline base, Xiaoqiang is conducting the final reconnaissance, preparing to "capture" Argos in one fell swoop.
