Girls und War

"They want the destruction of the neighboring country across the sea."
Mr. Sun became much quieter and moved in a very anxious manner.
From time to time he looked at the letter in his hand, looked at the messenger, and then looked elsewhere.
After hesitating for a long time, Mr. Sun finally nodded.
"I used my wealth to corrupt the parliament and the army. I also used all kinds of promises to convince the people that this war was profitable and would bring rich rewards.
"I used conspiracy and trickery to set the war machine in motion, sending it charging forward unstoppably towards the other side of the sea."
A recruitment advertisement appeared on the screen, followed by huge bombers taking off from the shore and countless warships leaving the harbor.
Amidst the montage of war and mobilization, the two teams progressed to the ninetieth floor.
Ms. Terminator was soaked all over, her muscles bulged and filled with crimson color, as if she was about to explode in the next second.
But Xia Shu was like a ghost, hanging behind her not far away, making her feel inexplicably panicked.
As she picked up the walkie-talkie, Xia Shu suddenly started to speed up.
"Groups A and B, prepare for battle on the 90th floor!"
Xia Shu shouted orders into the intercom, then shouldered his gun and strode towards the roof.
"I'm on the 90th floor! Xia Shu is speeding up! She's speeding up!" The Terminator hurriedly called to the Queen Bee.
"Chase her! We can't let her get there first!" the Queen Bee shouted as she quickened her pace. "Except for the garrisons on the 30th and 60th floors, all personnel are on the 90th floor, ready to engage!"
150. Go about war
The vanguards of the Eagle District and Flower District teams have already launched a charge towards the top floor.
The other recruits in the team also rushed to the 90th floor desperately.
The 30th and 60th floors are guarded by two teams of two on each side.
They were in a stalemate, neither daring to fire first.
"Aier." Sheng huddled against the wall, looking at his childhood sweetheart with a serious face.
"What's going on?" Ai'er was observing the other person through the heart sound radar.
"Should we attack first?"
"No." Al rejected the proposal bluntly.
"Tsk, wimp." Sheng muttered.
Ellie didn't bother to pay attention to her.
After a while, Sheng asked again, "After the competition, the recruit training will be over, right?"
"I thought you didn't know."
"How could I not know? The other students in the class talk about it every day."
"Then what do you want?"
"Isn't it time for a love confession?" Sheng looked at Ai'er seriously, "Come on, I don't mind you."
"I despise you."
"How about after this war, we go back home and get married?"
"Shut up! Stop raising flags!"
"cut----"
While they were chatting intermittently, Xia Shu was already approaching the end of the 100th floor.
And the story on TV is coming to an end.
“The war is undoubtedly lost.
“This is not a literal victory or defeat, but a battlefield that has fallen into a meaningless stalemate.
“War is like a man-eating beast, devouring all kinds of resources endlessly.
"Economy, population, weaponry...
“This endless black hole is constantly draining our national strength.
“We were worn down.
"The economic crisis arose, workers went on strike to protest, and people began anti-war demonstrations."
The screen shows various war debt meetings, banks being run and closing. Stock prices are soaring, but the financial collapse caused by inflation is irreversible. The financial industry is on the verge of collapse.
The country will perish.
“I am the sinner who caused all this to happen.
“But I don’t regret it.
"Because I fell on the road of pursuing my dreams and love.
"My dear Princess, if this can bring you happiness, then even if I destroy the world for you—
“I am willing to do so.
“Whether you’re going to tell me the truth or not—I don’t care, dear.
"Please let me retain my last bit of innocent emotion."
The last thing that appeared on the screen was a framed photo of the princess.
The mannequin in the photo is graceful and charming, and you can see her beauty and innocence even through the screen and the photo.
A mannequin's hand appears on the screen, gently stroking the photo in the frame.
At this time, Xia Shu finally ran to the 100th floor of the building.
She kicked open the door of the room in the center and walked in with a gun in hand.
But the scene before her moved her somewhat.
The mannequin representing Mr. Sun was now sitting on a chair behind the desk.
The chairs are backed by floor-to-ceiling windows.
Originally, the city scenery should be outside the window.
It has blue skies and beautiful coastlines.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, and everything is thriving.
But at this moment, all the good things are gone.
Artillery fire and gun smoke dyed the sky red, and the sea was the battlefield of the army.
Raging flames also broke out in various parts of the city.
The city fell.
And Mr. Sun——
He held a pistol in his hand.
There is also a hole on the dummy's forehead.
Bright red liquid sprayed onto the table, and Xia Shu smelled a strong smell of paint.
There was a pink envelope on the table, which was now stained with red.
She walked forward and picked up the envelope.
The envelope was sealed with ink and there was no sign of it being opened.
Xia Shu opened the envelope, but found that there was no letter inside.
It was a hotel room card.
The logo above is 8301.
Just downstairs.
There were extremely faint footsteps at the door.
Xia Shu turned around and squatted, immediately aiming his gun at the door.
She didn't make any sound, but her footsteps stopped at the door.
Xia Shu raised a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth and tilted his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
The Terminator leaned against the corner, aiming in the direction of the office, not daring to move forward.
She took out the intercom and whispered, "I'm on the 100th floor. Xia Shu might be in the office. I don't dare go in."
The queen bee had not even reached the 60th floor at this time.
She was thinking on the stairs, trying to figure out how to deal with it.
But before he could reply, gunshots were heard from the 90th floor.
The two sides finally engaged in their first formal exchange of fire on the 90th floor of the building.
The two teams from the Eagle District and the Flower District arrived at the corridor in front of the fire protection layer almost at the same time.
Without saying a word, they started shooting fiercely through two doors.
But Xia Shu and her friends have five people, and they are the five strongest ones.
There are only four on the other side.
So soon, the Eagle area was suppressed by firepower.
The commanders on both sides immediately knew about the exchange of fire at the scene.
At this moment, the picture on the TV changed rapidly again.
The video began to rewind rapidly, as if returning everything to the starting point.
However, time obviously does not flow backwards when the video is rewound.
When the video rewound to the family photo of Mr. Sun as a child, the picture froze.
Amidst the twinkling snowflakes, a female mannequin's hand seems to be gently stroking the young Mr. Sun in the photo.
The next second, there was the first aerial shot of the building.
The picture stretches towards the building and finally stops in front of a floor-to-ceiling window.
The princess's dummy appeared in front of the screen.
She raised her hand and wiped her cheek, as if she was crying.
At this moment, the picture freezes.
The mission requirements have been updated on the heartbeat radars of all members of the combat team.
The task of retrieving the letter was crossed out, and the new task that appeared on the panel was——
Get the princess out of the building and don't let her get hurt.
Everyone was stunned.
They never imagined that the princess in the story was inside the Sky Building at this moment!
"Xiao Zhong! Go back to defense! Go around from the bottom! Surround and kill them!" The queen bee immediately gave orders to the Terminator.
Upon hearing this, the muscular woman immediately retreated and walked down the stairs.
Xia Shu immediately stood up and walked out slowly with an expressionless face.
When the muscular woman was about to approach the 90th floor, Xia Shu picked up the intercom and ordered, "Team B, go up one floor, and defend the enemies on the 91st floor."
The queen bee quickly received feedback and gave another order, "Xiao Zhong, go up to the ninety-third floor and test that side."
"Team B, go to the ninety-second floor. Two people each will keep watch on the upper floors and the opposite side. Miyu will go to the ninety-first floor to defend."
"Xiao Zhong reaches the ninety-first floor. We'll pick two people to exchange and go to the ninety-third floor."
"Miyu returns to level 90, and Group B moves up another level."
