Rhode Island Park Project

Luo Hang spoke calmly and quickly, looking at ACE beside him.

"My team is a hundred meters away providing support."

"Very good. Have them prepare their vehicles and be ready to go at full speed 200 meters ahead on the road. Communication should be fine."

"We detected signal interference earlier, but it doesn't seem to have much impact on our communicators."

"After all, this is a design I optimized myself. It seems I didn't fail at the critical moment."

Luo Hang chuckled softly.

Du Bin couldn't help but take another look at Luo Hang beside him.

The strangely silent streets and the troops standing in formation, ready for battle, the pungent smell of gunpowder filled with a solemn atmosphere, as if to tense every nerve. A man in ordinary clothes stood in the formation, as if discussing the taste of afternoon snacks, chuckling calmly.

As per her usual principle - the battlefield is a serious place that does not tolerate any leniency or carelessness - this is something she has always earnestly warned every newcomer she has trained, and it is also something she always reminds herself.

However, what she couldn't deny now was that... seeing Luo Hang's smile, she felt relieved...

Before she had time to think, the air around her suddenly became hot.

A more pungent smell permeated the faint smell of gunpowder, as if followed by the stench of something burnt.

Did this place suddenly become a volcanic crater?!

Du Bin cursed inwardly, beads of sweat unconsciously oozing from his forehead.

Is that the smell of sulfur?

She could clearly distinguish the pungent smell mixed in the air.

"Doctor, the guy chasing us is not ordinary."

ACE's voice was deep.

"I don't think anyone would feel normal in a situation like this."

"boom--"

The violent roar drowned out Luo Hang's last words, and a huge, red fireball fell in front of the team that was on high alert. The splashing flames instantly made the dark streets under the thick dark clouds brightly colored.

"You are really anxious,"

Luo Hang looked at the figure stepping out from the overflowing flames, and raised the corner of his mouth, "Talulah."

The orange-red ribbon carrying the symbol of integration fluttered in the wind among the crimson flames. The woman faced the entire team alone, but she looked down at them as if from a superior position.

"How could I let you run away again?"

It was as if he hadn't noticed the other people in the team. Only the figure of the standing person was reflected in his silver-gray eyes.

"You are a betrayer, a conspirator, and a rapist."

"..."

The atmosphere among the operators' team was slightly unstable, but when the occasional glances fell on Luo Hang's smiling face, the slight restlessness quickly subsided.

After all, they followed Luo Hang and miraculously left the core layer of Chernobog unscathed. Compared to what the suddenly appearing enemy said, no one would choose to question their commander at this time.

"What a hateful name! If someone who doesn't know the situation heard it, they'd probably suspect something had happened between you and me, right?"

There was a hint of frivolity in Luo Hang's tone.

"Do you think the people around you can protect you?"

"Then why haven't you done anything yet?"

The eyes of the two met.

Luo Hang curled the corners of his mouth.

"You're waiting for your men to surround this place. When did you lose the confidence to do it yourself, Tallulah?"

"I'm just worried that my fire will accidentally burn you to ashes because of the hatred in my heart."

"Then I guess I have to thank you for your magnanimity?"

“Death is never the most painful ending, but it will definitely be your final ending.”

“It’s really scary.”

The two men engaged in a verbal exchange across the street, the situation seemingly at a stalemate. However, everyone knew whose side was on the other side.

They drove out of the core area. Perhaps their speed wasn't enough to outrun the monster-like enemy before them, but they had no problem outrunning the other ordinary Reunion members.

If they stayed here any longer, those people would catch up with them sooner or later. Facing a large number of people enough to bring down the entire Chernobyl, they would have no other fate.

——We must leave here as soon as possible.

Dupin couldn't help feeling anxious.

The other party's choice to delay was undoubtedly the safest option. She didn't understand whether the other party didn't choose to take action because, as they said, they were worried about burning the doctor to ashes, or because they were concerned about their strength, but they definitely couldn't afford to delay.

She looked at Luo Hang, who was still chatting meaningless nonsense with Tallulah. All she could see in her field of vision was the familiar profile of the man.

What on earth are you thinking about... If it were you, if it were the doctor, you would definitely understand the current situation, right?

"..."

Time passed by minute by minute.

Not to mention Doberman, even the other operators began to become restless.

This is a chaotic battlefield, not a place suitable for afternoon tea chats. Anyone can understand the danger of staying in such a place.

The temperature of the entire street continued to rise under the influence of the terrifying figure opposite. They now felt like they were in a furnace. Even without the enemy's reinforcements arriving, if the temperature around them continued to rise, they might not be able to leave here.

"Let's go up and fight her, she's alone!"

An operator couldn't help but speak, and was immediately met with a stern shout from Doberman.

"Be quiet and follow orders!"

Faced with Doberman who seemed to be extremely angry, the instructor's authority surged in his mind, and the operator immediately shut up in embarrassment.

However, when he looked at Luo Hang again, who seemed to be completely unaware of the movements around him and was still staring at the enemy, Du Bin felt his heart waver.

Her ideas and emotions made her want to wait patiently for the Doctor to give her the same reliable orders as they had given her along the way, but her reason kept questioning her decision.

She could risk her own life, but they still had the entire team on their shoulders. Even a simple reminder to the Doctor would have given her peace of mind, but as the captain, she should have known better than to interrupt the Doctor's confrontation with the enemy leader at this moment.

Reason and emotion were intertwined, and she was aware that her emotions were fluctuating.

"..."

A figure wearing a Reunion Movement uniform walked out from the building on the corner... followed by a second, and a third...

Figures appeared one after another from everywhere. What Du Bin didn't expect was that what appeared in her heart was not tension or despair... but relief.

Chapter 8 It Should Be So

No one is omnipotent, and this reality should be clear.

As the captain of the Rhodes Island Action Team, when did she start to rely solely on others and put all the pressure on one person?

But it’s not too late to understand it now, probably.

Doberman raised his eyebrows. Even when facing a figure as deep and as fierce as a prison, and enemies that seemed to appear endlessly, his momentum was still no less than anyone else's.

"Prepare for battle!!"

The clear and bright voice penetrated the scorching air, but Luo Hang, whose eyes had always been connected with Tallulah's, looked away for the first time.

"No, we should prepare to break out."

Doberman was lost in thought for a moment.

The Luo Hang in front of her felt too familiar to her.

Tallulah, who was standing opposite Luo Hang and his group, also raised her head slightly.

Above the city covered by dark clouds, tiny dots of light are shining in the sky, as if they are actually pulling the sky into the night sky.

But, it wasn't a star.

"Mephisto, notify everyone to evade... No, it's probably too late."

In the space of a single word, the sky's light had grown blindingly bright. Metal shone with a cold gleam, and man-made ruins streaked across the sky, swooping down towards the earth.

"rocket missile!!!"

The people on the ground finally understood the true face of the stars, and the roar and flames bloomed on the streets like a common scene in this chaotic city.

Luo Hang put away the personal terminal he had been holding in his hand, and the image of the "boot program" flashed across the dark screen.

After staring at Tallulah for a long time, he turned his head away without any regrets.

Tallulah didn't fight them alone, and there wasn't any obvious reason for that.

The maximum flight speed of conventional rockets exceeds 1000 meters per second. The radius of Chernobyl's city is only more than 20 kilometers. With the modified version specially designed by Luo Hang, it only takes half a minute to reach the core area from outside the city.

The reason why their "fire support" arrived only now was simply because Tallulah, who seemed to be overlooking everything, was actually always standing outside the distance they could control.

As many people know, this is not the first time Luo Hang and Tallulah have met, and Tallulah has a deep understanding of the man in front of her.

Firepower coverage that can flatten an entire city block may be no different from a natural disaster for ordinary people, but for a red dragon with abundant firepower, there are too many ways to protect itself. Only "fire support" in conjunction with combat personnel can achieve the best effect.

However, since the first goal is to avoid falling into the trap, it does not mean that there is no second goal.

The members of the Reunion Movement that Tallulah had summoned for safety reasons were undoubtedly the kind of resistance that was difficult to avoid under fire and could not be ignored on their way to evacuation.

Before the fire coverage, the red dragon had many ways to protect itself, but for ordinary people, it was a natural disaster.

What Tallulah had planned and what Doberman had worried about was also the only opportunity he had been waiting for.

"Everyone get in the car immediately! Be careful of attacks from both sides! Break forward!"

The flames and explosions divided the block into two areas, and the trap that was originally worried about became a reality. Even though she saw Luo Hang and his group evacuating, Tallulah still did not choose to pursue them rashly.

She was not sure about the intensity and duration of the fire coverage, and as a leader, she needed to show some presence in front of her subordinates.

"You can't run away."

Across the rising flames, she looked at the figure in the distance with deep eyes.

Luo Hang, who was evacuating with others, also noticed something and looked in a certain direction, then suddenly hugged Doberman beside him.

"PhD……?"

Du Bin's mind short-circuited for a moment, and his vision was filled with flying debris and a sudden roar in his ears.

“Sniper!!”

"Doctor, are you okay?!"

"Get in the car first."

Chaotic and noisy sounds were heard in his ears. It was not until he got into the car and stepped on the accelerator that Doberman looked at the scene in the rearview mirror in a panic.

What caught my eye was the torn coat and dark bloodstains, and Amiya, who was busy with bandages and gauze, with a look of panic and worry on her face.

"Doctor?"

Du Bin's heart trembled.

She couldn't describe how she felt.

"It's just a minor injury, no need to be distracted."

The doctor's voice remained calm, but this made Dubin feel even more uncomfortable.

But no matter what the current situation was or the confused thoughts in her mind, she didn't know what to say at this moment.

In the end, she could only grit her teeth and drive with the most violent momentum to break through the enemy's defense line.

Without the support of Tallulah and other Reunion cadres, these ordinary Reunion members gathered here would be nothing.

The teams that had been in position in advance also appeared on the road one after another, and there was no stagnation or slowdown in their evacuation route.
