imperfections

A missile shot across the dark space like a shooting star, and the light spot of a mecha on the communication channel disappeared immediately. Cyclops made the third emergency jump, and felt the protective gas hit his chest. His eyes went dark, and he almost fell off the mental net. , Nosebleed has come down - he thought, in the end is old.

Another emergency jump, he felt that he could probably die here on the spot.

190 is seven years old, still on the tip of the tail of the so-called "youth", there are no wrinkles on the face, no baldness, and no fat. Walking on the street, there will still be girls looking back because of the hooked nose and different-colored pupils He, deceived by his face, couldn't see that he was almost past the expiration date.

He has seen buildings go up and down, catch fire, and turn to ashes again. He has been drunk for a hundred years, accompanied by wine and sex, and the muscles of his body and the spirit of his chest quietly abandoned him. Teenager.

"One-eyed eagle," Yu William's voice came from the communication channel, "They are catching up again!"

Their team was an old unit of the Freedom Alliance Army. There were [-] or [-] people in total, and they drove ten small mechas—some of them were not used to driving mechas. For safety reasons, two people had to take turns to drive.

This group of middle-aged and elderly men did not come out to fight in groups. Before they came, they thought about peaches, plums, spring breeze, a glass of wine, a lamp in the night rain of ten years in the rivers and lakes, and they lit the fire by themselves to heat up the spatula. ——Everyone's reminiscing about the past often turns into alcoholism. After drinking hot wine, weeping with headaches.

When you get old, your ideals atrophy along with your muscles, and you can no longer hold such a huge lie of the eighth galaxy.

On the way back after returning in vain, when this group of demoralized old brothers suddenly detected a nearby mecha army, the distance between the two sides was less than [-] kilometers-this could not be an accidental encounter, because an army of this size, if Instead of using technical means to hide themselves, even if passing merchant ships and mechs do not deliberately scan, they will be aware of it half a sailing day away.

The one-eyed eagle immediately ordered everyone to evacuate at full speed, and at the same time sent out a distress call to Venus, but the ambush opened fire involuntarily, and shot down their two small mechas in a flash, and refused to communicate. chased them away.

No one knows why the other party ambushed them, who they are from, and who betrayed their itinerary.

"No, Cyclops, they have heavy armor, and the heavy armor can use the jump point to scan remotely, so they can't get rid of it! When will the support arrive?"

"Look at the star map yourself, and see how far this damn place is from the goddamn morning star." One-eyed Eagle raised his sleeve and wiped away the nosebleed. "Supporting bullshit, you can only be a corpse collection team if you come here, save yourself!"

"What the hell are these people doing? Let's play?" Someone asked in the communication channel, "I said, why don't we surrender strategically first."

The one-eyed eagle let out a breath from his nose, choked for breath, but thought the proposal made sense.

The old arms dealer is not a martyr who would rather die than surrender. Although he has a hot temper, he will definitely bend and stretch at critical moments. He will not be afraid of running out of firewood if he keeps the green hills. He still doesn't know who betrayed them. willing.Besides, in the face of such a large legion, these old bastards would not be ashamed even if they kneeled down, and surrendering was nothing.

In fact, this place is not far from the underground waterway that Sister Smelly drove to the outside world——Sister Smelly’s underground waterway has two sections, one is the road from the eight star systems to the base, and it was accidentally discovered by Prince Gloria’s guards. A section leads from the base to the outside world. It was used by Baiyinjiu once in order to store reserve materials.The residents of the base and the supplies from far away were slowly transferred to Venus. The guards of Prince Gloria were completely wiped out by Lin Jingheng. No one except their own people knew about the section of the underground passage leading to the outside world.

All the transition points in the underground channel are encrypted, and it is difficult for people without a hidden map to find out the direction inside, and they may be able to escape there.

However, this idea flashed in the one-eyed eagle's mind, and then disappeared, because the underground waterway is still some distance away from here, and unfortunately, it happened to be the direction from which the enemy mechas were encircling. Break out once, just this group of old, weak, sick and disabled, let alone forcefully break out, let them make an emergency jump again, they can all perform collectively and die on the spot.

One-eyed Eagle: "Actually, it's not..."

Before he had time to express his opinion, Yu Weilian flatly refused in the communication channel: "Impossible!"

Although they all belonged to the Freedom Alliance Army in the past, the members of the "Freedom Alliance Army" are all over the eighth galaxy. They fought in different places back then, and they have never fought side by side with each other. There are a lot of people doing business, and usually everyone uses the "Freedom Allies" as a stepping stone to get close to each other, which is a bit similar to the relationship between the "Classmates Association" and the "Hometown Association".

Among the people who came out together this time, only two or three were old comrades-in-arms of Cyclops. They all still had a bit of unfamiliar politeness, so they gave William the club and spoke in the same tone as the chief mummy of their family.

Yu William justly criticized the person who proposed to surrender: "Did you forget the oath you swore to be a soldier? If you want to be a coward, go, I will never surrender!"

There was a moment of silence in the communication channel, and then there was a lot of chatter.

"Inspector Yu, I understand how you feel, but we have to be objective."

"If we don't surrender, will we still bear it? We can't bear it!"

"Soldiers don't surrender, but we are no longer fighters."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm aircraft No. [-], my partner pilot has passed out, and I'm going to be fast if I keep running like this, can we be more realistic, old brothers!"

"Change the pilot of No. [-], my blood pressure is too high!"

The one-eyed eagle cleared his throat: "Inspector Yu..."

Yu William interrupted him coldly: "If they didn't make a move, it's not impossible to ask me to surrender, but they shot and destroyed our two mechas first, and there were four brothers in it, did they die in vain?"

Superintendent Yu seized the moral high ground this time, and the others couldn't answer the conversation, so they had to shut up for the time being. They all thought that William Yu was an idiot. , I have to drag a few more backs, if I knew this, when he was infected with the rainbow virus, he should have rotted into soup.

At this time, in the communication channel, the signal on the No. [-] plane flashed, and a person nicknamed "Grey Wolf" said: "I brought the people on the No. [-] and No. [-] planes. The pilot on the No. [-] plane just now I know that you are not familiar with them. In an emergency, as a relative or friend, I should be qualified to represent the deceased—One-Eyed Eagle, we will talk about avenging the dead later, it is important for us to save the lives of the living first. "

The one-eyed eagle went down the donkey: "Well, indeed, sorry...Missiles, spread out!"

He suddenly warned, the voice fell, and everyone dispersed like a frightened bird. Immediately, a long-range missile slammed over like a hydrangea. This is a homing missile. He made a roundabout, turned around and headed straight for No. [-], which was running the slowest.

The moment they passed by, the one-eyed eagle's mech suddenly detected the model "TOC-RV230" of the tracking missile, which was produced by the Sixth Military Factory of the Alliance Military Commission.

The one-eyed eagle's pupils shrank, but it was too late to think about the opponent's whereabouts: "Turn on the anti-missile, and you are still in a daze, can you run past the missile!"

The locked No. [-] aircraft quickly activated the anti-missile system and launched a missile to intercept the opponent. Unexpectedly, under the nervousness, the interceptor missile operated incorrectly.

You must know that intercepting missiles is different from actively launching missiles. Because of the anti-missile system, the aiming is automatic. After the computer is locked, the driver can issue a launch command.The one-eyed eagle was almost defeated, his imagination was limited, and he really couldn't figure out how the interception went wrong.

The enemy's firepower is ferocious, well-equipped, like a god descending, and our pig teammates can't even operate a semi-automatic fool!

One-eyed Eagle for no reason remembered what someone said in the communication channel just now—we are no longer soldiers.

It's really ridiculous, with mixed feelings.

The panicked No. [-] plane was chased by the tracking missile, but Yu Weilian rushed up and stopped the tracking missile with a missile. The fragments of the missile were blown up everywhere, like a handful of raised sand.

The one-eyed eagle said heartily, "Screw that fart."

As the leader, he decided to ignore the hard-boiled Superintendent Yu and surrender on behalf of the majority.

He once again sent a communication request to the enemy not far away. At the same time, he sent a special summation signal with the mech. Next, according to the interstellar practice, they should automatically jump off the spiritual network and hand over the control of the spiritual network to Indicates that disarming is harmless.

Just after the signal was sent here, and before the disarm command was issued, the "middle-aged and elderly professional surrender group" led by the Cyclops rushed to jump off the spiritual network. After jumping out of the spiritual network, they were automatically disconnected from the internal communication channel. In the meantime, there was no one else in the communication channel except Inspector Yu and the old Persian cat himself!

One-Eyed Eagle: "...No, at least you guys let me call 'Get ready to jump'?"

Yu William, the only remaining listener on the communication channel, said coldly: "When I was 150 years younger than now, even if I was killed, I would never have imagined that I would be dragged to my knees and begged for mercy by my companions in such a state of embarrassment."

The one-eyed eagle didn't want to be as knowledgeable as him, so he smiled wryly: "Don't be a hundred and five years old, if I could be a hundred years younger, I would still fight with them today—do you dance first or should I dance first?"

Yu William fell silent, it seemed that he was going to be tough to the end, the opponent's mecha group had already pressed up, and the one-eyed eagle couldn't control him, so he sighed silently: "Prepare to disconnect the spirit..."

However, at this moment, the No. [-] and No. [-] machines next to him suddenly changed their orbits.

The driver disconnected the spirit net by himself, and the mecha would become unmanned. This operation was obviously artificial, and the enemy should have controlled the spirit net of the two small mechas.

The silent Yu William suddenly said loudly: "Slow down, be careful!"

The one-eyed eagle suddenly raised his head. From the perspective of the mental network that had not yet been disconnected, he saw that the No. [-] and No. [-] units, which were modifying the orbit, accelerated each other like crazy, turned around each other a few times, and danced a funny figure-of-eight dance for a while, and then They bumped into each other!

At the same time, the communication request sent by the one-eyed eagle was rejected again!

Not only did the opponent not accept the surrender, but he also planned to kill them after making fun of them like a child playing with bugs!

The one-eyed eagle cursed and yelled at Yu William in the communication channel: "Number three!"

Yu William understood, and the two of them deployed the mental net at the same time, covered the accelerating No. Machine-to-interface, the short-term local advantage squeezed the enemy troops occupying No. [-] machine out of the mental net.

Afterwards, Cyclops and Yu William quickly withdrew, and the pilot who regained the authority of the spirit network slammed on the brakes, and the mech deflected sharply, narrowly passing by No. [-] machine.

The people on the other mechas also came back to their senses, and started trying to regain the spirit net in a panic.

In the communication channel that had been silent just now, the small light flickered on and off, like a firefly struggling for death.

As the decision maker, Cyclops is really to blame for this situation. Gritting his teeth, he first sent the coordinate map of the underground passage to William Yu and No. The No. 360 and No. [-] machines passed through, cleared the way with missiles, and rushed straight into the enemy camp.The mecha legion that surrounded them spread out quickly, opening a large net, intending to net him in it, and the [-]-degree particle cannon of the Cyclops opened fire at the same time.

And Yu Weilian and the pilot of No. [-] aircraft who had just regained his authority seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, and while he was attracting enemy firepower, they suddenly made an emergency jump.

A small mecha tried to cover its companions from escaping. The enemy's ambushes responded immediately. The heavy armor's mental net ran over the transition point, re-locked the two small mechas that had fled, and immediately divided two teams to chase , Cyclops heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the mech's flank, and chose to leave part of the machine without thinking. The next moment, the hit cabin exploded, and the backup energy system was also smashed by enemy missiles. The artillery fire increased the speed of the mecha to the extreme, drawing a blade-like arc, pulling the enemy's encirclement into a long line.

At this time, due to the sharp change in the relative position of the mechas, some of the mental nets that were originally covered together quickly broke away, and the pressure on the small mechas that were robbed of the authority of the spiritual nets by the enemy suddenly eased, and the two pilots had an advantage. , took the lead in regaining the authority of the spirit network, and started an emergency jump to the third direction without ordering, to disperse the enemy's forces to the maximum extent, the No. [-] machine, the No. [-] machine, and then the No. [-] machine...

The eight small mechas that were originally gathered together ran in seven directions, and only one small mech remained in the encirclement to contain firepower.Facing such a small group of rogues who were scattered like sand, the enemy army also responded quickly, shrinking the troops who were chasing separately, and only caught one.

The one-eyed eagle had just made the decision to send a peace signal for everyone, and now it held back the firepower for everyone. At first glance, it looked like a leader in charge. The enemy no longer used missiles and surrounded him in the middle, overwhelming high-energy particle cannons Colliding with his protective shield, the spirit net was pressed down, and he was about to be captured alive.

The one-eyed eagle injected himself with a large dose of soothing agent without hesitation, feeling that every inch of muscle was being stirred by the blade, but the man-machine matching was still declining under the heavy pressure.

It is said that a guerrilla attack method used by the Liberty Alliance Army was called "Wild Wolf Pack". At the moment of an emergency jump, the others took the opportunity to scatter and flee. If the enemy commander was cautious enough, he would abandon those individual mechas that fled and concentrate on eating the "bait".After the escaped mecha escaped the pursuit through the emergency jump, it immediately turned around and harassed the enemy from all directions. Everyone cooperated to shoot and change places, so that the "bait" surrounded in the middle would have a chance to escape in the chaos.

But most of the time, this kind of "wild wolf pack" is doomed to be nothing more than a legend, because the emergency jump will send them far away, and after the mecha team disintegrates, the internal communication channel will also be disconnected.And everyone knows the feeling of dying in an emergency jump under artillery fire. Once the escaped people get rid of the pursuers, they will finally surface like a drowning person. It is almost inhumane that they risk their lives to go back.

How do you know that the person who escaped will come back?

What if I was the only one who foolishly went back and everyone else ran away?

And if the person in the deep encirclement is really important, everyone will not agree to let him be this dangerous bait in the first place.What's more, this kind of single-player guerrilla has really high requirements for mecha operation.

Anyway, Cyclops didn't count on it, not to mention whether these surrenderers are willing to come back to rescue him, even if they are willing, can they fight a high-intensity guerrilla with their physical fitness and mech quality?

So he simply gave out the route map of the underground channel before parting.

In this life, rounding up two hundred years, it is almost the same.

An alarm came from the arsenal, the missile was empty, and the energy of the high-energy particle cannon was insufficient.

The one-eyed eagle thought optimistically, it seems that the other party may not necessarily intend to kill him, otherwise he will be bombarded with high-energy particle cannons as soon as they meet each other. , leaving a few mentally broken prisoners as prisoners, and then arrested them to threaten the people behind them.

However, it is impossible for these people to think that the armed forces behind them are Lin Jingheng, that boy has a heart of stone, and he will not bother to threaten his own father, let alone someone else.

The one-eyed eagle thought about it, and felt a little funny, feeling very sorry for these thankless enemies.His temples ached violently, the mech issued an alarm, the man-machine match had dropped to 51%, and he would be deprived of his mental network authority immediately. The one-eyed eagle's vision began to blur, and he tried to He opened the mech's music library, trying to find out if there was any song of the Legion of the Free Alliance Army back then, but he was really at the end of his strength, and he couldn't even complete this simple operation.

Man-machine matching degree 51%, 50%——

Continuing Descent Alert—

The Spirit Net is about to break off the alarm——

From Venus to the last coordinates of Cyclops, there are nearly forty sailing days.

When Ares Feng discovered their long-range patrol team on Saturday outside the base, the distance between the patrol team and Sister Sister's base was about a dozen sailing days. twenty hours.

But this time, if it dragged on for another [-] hours, it would really be a corpse collection team.

So the self-defense team members who joined the army for the first time after merging with Silver Nine felt what it means to be an "alliance elite".

The original self-defense team received a soothing agent before departure, only as a backup driver, and the entire rapid march was led by the people of Silver Nine. When the marching route came out, Saturday was almost silly - the regular jump route required Through more than 90 jump points, but this route has less than [-] jump points.

"How can this be achieved?" Saturday couldn't help asking, "For such a long transition, the energy of the transition point is not enough to send us to the next passage!"

"Have you ever heard of what is called a 'cross jump'? Today, each mecha carries two additional backup energy sources, because we need to start an operation similar to an emergency jump when passing through the jump point, the energy is superimposed, 'bang'——" The driver patted him on the shoulder, "Enjoy the roller coaster, brother!"
