Colonia Storm Tour

Alice could more or less guess that the other party was probably treating it as a misperception, otherwise they would have definitely chased after them for a while or contacted other DEM units to search until they found nothing before giving up.

"Yes."

Li Yang and Yu Xiao continued along the road, following the route specified by Alice.

As they continued along the highway, the two encountered DEM guards in a Hummer heading in the opposite direction, clearly heading back to the place where they had just undergone the time-space teleportation.

"Our choice of hyperspace teleportation location is not perfect. If DEM's brain hasn't malfunctioned, they should be able to detect that some cloaked units have entered the city and take a detour."

Alice reset the route, and Li Yang and Yu Xiao moved along the reset route.

Along this route, the number of DEM units encountered by the two decreased significantly, to the point that there was almost no sign of DEM unit activity.

However, the absence of any signs of DEM troop activity on the road does not mean that the journey will always be smooth sailing, especially since there will definitely be sentries or similar checkpoints on the road leading to the high ground and sniper positions.

As Alice had expected, a sentry post consisting of two Vanguard Assault Mechs, several DEM guards, and sandbags blocked their path. Above the sentry post, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft circled and scanned the area ahead.

"Commander Alice, there are drones at the DEM position across the way. We cannot safely pass through that heavily armed position."

Li Yang placed his hand on the diamond-shaped earphone in his right ear and said.

"Our Uranus satellite system will solve the problem for you. First, you need to locate the target for our Uranus orbital satellite system."

Alice wouldn't let the commandos have only their own weapons; they also had heavy firepower support from orbit.

"Ok."

Yu Xiao put on the white-blue headphones hanging around her neck and then half-squatted down. Li Yang also half-squatted down and took a square object that looked like a pencil case from her hand. This pencil case-like object had a very simple function. Like the Fengshen UAV of the Fengshen Wing Loong, it could be used to locate and provide strike coordinates for calling in orbital strikes. This does not mean that this portable orbital strike locator can replace the Fengshen UAV, because the Fengshen UAV has more advantages in comparison.

A special frequency electromagnetic beam, invisible to the naked eye, was emitted from the transmitter, sweeping across the unsuspecting DEM guards like a fan-shaped beam from a flashlight. Under the continuous illumination, these DEM units, which appeared excessively uneven and well-shaped compared to their surroundings, were then continuously targeted by Yu Xiao. Within one minute, the coordinate data required for the orbital strike was uploaded through Yu Xiao's white and blue earpiece.

"The orbital strike coordinates have been set and the data has been uploaded."

Yu Xiao took off her headphones and hung them back around her neck, then took the portable track-based impact locator from her hand and put it back into her coat.

"Next, we will conduct random orbital strikes in other places to draw DEM's attention. You just need to pass through DEM's positions after the orbital strikes."

Alice gave this reminder just as her voice faded from Yu Xiao and Li Yang's ears.

A meteor shower composed of deep blue hybrid plasma bombs emitting a pale light descended from the sky with a sharp whistling sound.

"What's going on?!"

Upon hearing the muffled whistling sound, the DEM guard immediately looked up towards the source of the sound and saw a meteor shower composed of hybrid plasma bombs.

"Meteor shower?"

The DEM guards stared dumbfounded at the beautiful meteor shower in the night sky.

"I didn't receive any reports of a meteor shower today, and these meteors look like they're heading straight for us!"

As the hybrid plasma bomb drew ever closer and grew larger, the DEM guards realized something was wrong and immediately turned tail and ran in all directions.

Unfortunately, they didn't start escaping the moment they were locked on, and the hybrid plasma bomb was already hitting them on the head.

Boom! ...

The hybrid plasma bombs crashed onto the target and the ground with deafening explosions, and the ground shook briefly due to the dense bombardment.

Those DEM guards directly attacked were naturally wiped out in the dim light of the plasma bombs. The DEM vanguard assault mech directly withstood the orbital strike, and the explosion of the mother bomb instantly destroyed its random domain. Then, the exploding sub-bombs blasted holes all over the ground and armor.

Within seconds, the vanguard assault mechs and DEM guards at this DEM position were wiped out by the hybrid plasma bomb, with only the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that had luckily escaped the trajectory of the hybrid plasma bomb surviving.

Ding-ding! Ding-ding!

Two melodious gunshots from Death Roar, two 5.56mm armor-piercing rounds, instantly turned the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft into a broken-winged angel, causing it to crash to the ground and create an explosion.

Meanwhile, the target area of ​​the hyperspace teleportation capsule was being bombarded by an even greater number of hybrid plasma bombs.

Those DEM guards and Vanguard Assault mechs who hadn't yet remembered to evacuate were immediately reduced to one in ten, all heavily wounded, and fell to the ground in the plasma bombardment.

The fact that the two locations had been subjected to unidentified bombing attacks immediately caught the attention of the DEM, and a considerable number of DEM troops immediately split into two groups and rushed to the two areas that had been subjected to orbital bombing.

After watching the sub-plasma from the hybrid plasma bomb completely disappear on the ground ahead, Li Yang and Yu Xiao immediately grabbed their guns and hurried through the destroyed DEM position.

As they ran towards the sniper position, Li Yang and Yu Xiao immediately spotted a DEM guard team approaching with a drone.

"This time you can't use the same method as last time, carrying people through the scanning range of the drones. Open fire and take them out. The orbital strike is still ongoing, so don't worry about the other DEM forces noticing the commotion too early."

Alice immediately provided cover for Li Yang and Yu Xiao from other angles.

"it is good."

Li Yang and Yu Xiao swiftly raised their guns and aimed at the DEM guards in front of them. The barrage of Death Armor-Piercing Rounds and Inferno Rounds immediately sent the DEM guards, who were still rushing forward, spinning around in disarray.

"enemy……"

Before the DEM ward could even utter the word "enemy attack," Death Roar's armor-piercing bullet instantly blew the ward's head off.

The DEM guards who were not hit and were able to retaliate immediately fired at Li Yang and Yu Xiao, but they were both shot down and killed instantly.

After firing a round of ammunition, all of these DEM guards were either shot down on the ground or burning on the ground.

Just as Li Yang was loading bullets into Death Roar, Yu Xiao took out the rarely used Crimson Lotus Balrog-I pistol, and with her left hand, she slid the red dot sight hanging under the barrel like she was pulling a bolt.

In fact, this red dot sight not only serves to provide additional aiming support, but also to charge the Crimson Lotus pistol so that the next bullet can hit the target and trigger the Crimson Lotus Fury.

Boom!!!

The .50 AE round accurately hit the drone, triggering a fiery explosion. The drone exploded in the raging flames, leaving behind burning debris that sprayed in all directions.

After firing a single shot, Yu Xiao put the Red Lotus pistol back into her hooded jacket and followed Li Yang forward while changing the magazine on her Hellhound assault rifle.

Compared to the high-explosive and magnetic pistol rounds used by the Kaul's large-caliber pistol, the Crimson Lotus Pistol is merely one of the best ordinary pistols. In terms of output power, the Kaul's large-caliber pistol is still the most powerful, after all, the caliber of its bullets is stronger than the Crimson Lotus Pistol's .50 Flame Demon AE rounds.

Inside DEM Company, which had finally been rebuilt after emergency repairs to the display device, the temporary department head, who was organizing the data, received a report from his subordinates.

"Sir, we've lost contact with several patrol teams and are still being bombed from unknown locations."

The DEM guard reported to the temporary department head.

"Hmph, I hope this shark didn't smell the blood on our hands. Immediately assemble a guard team and wait outside the company to escort me to the Matrix Airport to transmit the data. I'll be down shortly."

The temporary department head with golden, gray eyes stopped typing.

"Yes."

The DEM guard responded respectfully and then left the office.

After noticing that the office was temporarily empty, the temporary department head immediately picked up the landline phone and pressed the number to contact the DEM branch office across the ocean.

"This is bad, BOSS. The Fenfeng is bombing Tiangong City. Our next plan is full of variables. We are very likely to be attacked by the ever-present Fenfeng."

The temporary department head spoke with considerable respect and deference.

"If it's just bombing, our Immortal Vanguard Assault Mechs and Magicians can protect you."

The boss speaks in a completely flat tone, without any pauses or inflections.

"However, the company's internal sensors have detected unusual energy fluctuations in Tiangong City. We still cannot determine the source of this energy. We are worried that the Fenfeng may have dispatched those powerful war machines that emerge from the ground and release lightning, which are lurking around Tiangong City."

The temporary department head expressed his concerns about the Swarm Queen.

“……………………”

The person on the other end, addressed as "BOSS," fell silent upon hearing this, while the temporary department head also remained silent, awaiting a response from his superiors.

"Then we will warp in [the spirit] to protect you and your data from harm. Go."

The boss hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

"Yes."

The temporary department head immediately hung up the landline and then prepared for the transfer of the data.

A minute later, the temporary department head cautiously walked out of the company gate with a black briefcase. Then, under the escort of the Immortal Vanguard Assault Mech and the DEM Magician, he and his entourage boarded a special car. The car then started and headed to the small airport, which had been called "Matrix Airport," under the escort of the guard team.

Meanwhile, inside the hangar of the small airport, on a circular platform resembling an old-fashioned teleportation device, a slender humanoid object was being slowly teleported over.

Elise is holding the Thor version of the Flame Wind, so the beam of light is green.

Chapter 45 The Messenger's Demise (II)

After crossing the last stretch of highway and entering the sparse woods that circled around Tiangong City, Li Yang and Yu Xiao saw a heavy machine gun position on their way forward.

This heavy machine gun position guards the pass between the two roads, one above and one below. If the two of them want to safely reach the bottom of the cliff, they must take down this heavy machine gun position. There are also a number of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft hovering above the heavy machine gun position, and there are also heavy troops guarding the area below. Two Vanguard Assault Mechs and many DEM guards are on guard duty in place.

"There are just too many guards here. We can't possibly defeat them head-on, and it would only lead to mission failure. We need to use another method to distract them."

As Alice observed the battlefield through the holographic projection and the GLONASS satellite system, she quickly spotted many oil drums and ammunition boxes haphazardly placed on the narrow path below.

Meanwhile, some DEM company employees in work clothes were tidying up the oil drums and ammunition boxes that were haphazardly placed.

"Who on earth left these oil drums and ammunition boxes lying around like that?"

The complaints from DEM staff could be heard from a great distance.

"Heaven is on our side! Comrade Yu Xiao, use the Doomsday Knight to blow up that oil drum, and then while the guards' attention is diverted, you guys quickly cross that checkpoint and head down that road."

Alice's eyes lit up when she saw the oil drums and ammunition boxes.

"receive."

Yu Xiao put the Hellhound assault rifle into her hooded jacket and took the Doomsday Knight AS50 off her back. This sniper rifle, which was originally quite heavy, has been reduced in weight by 30% thanks to the new nanomaterials used. In addition, Yu Xiao has also undergone Archer-level genetic modification and enhancement, so carrying this semi-automatic sniper rifle is not a problem at all.

Using the Doom Knight AS50 does not require setting up a bipod, as long as the shooter has enough strength to withstand the recoil generated by the gun firing and can hold the handguard.

The Death Roar, lacking a silencer, was far too loud, while the Doom Knight AS50's gunshots were relatively muffled and less likely to attract attention.

The sniper rifle, always ready to fire, was quickly aimed at the target of the attack by Yu Xiao: the oil drum.

The oil drum contains highly flammable and explosive oil; even the smallest spark can easily ignite it. If it were hit by a bullet, the consequences would be even more dire.

Clang!

The .50 Doomsday rounds were fired at supersonic speed from the muzzle, and the Doomsday Knight AS50 with its elegant platinum and gold paint job only produced negligible sway—the extreme enhancement of recoil combined with the shooter's sufficient strength made the recoil of this semi-automatic sniper rifle using 12.7mm ammunition negligible.

If you were to ask what the most enjoyable sound in the Command & Conquer series is, it would be the sound of oil drums and ammunition boxes exploding in enemy bases!

If you had to pick the most awful sound in the Command & Conquer series, it would be the explosion of oil drums and ammunition boxes in your own and your allies' bases!

Clang—Boom!

Under the powerful kinetic energy imparted by the scorching bullet, the thin sheet metal of the oil drum was pierced like a piece of paper, allowing the high-temperature bullet to fly into the oil.

A catastrophic domino effect was immediately triggered. The overpressure and heat generated by the explosion of one oil drum immediately ignited other ammunition boxes and oil drums in the vicinity. The explosions of the other oil drums and ammunition boxes also ignited additional oil drums and ammunition boxes.
