death of hope

Chapter 275 "Corporate Warrior" (191) Death Road

"The No. 303 "Sea Eagle" light armed transport aircraft entered Pandora's atmosphere, and the body self-inspection is in progress.
10%... 100%, confirm safety... Navigator, please enter the coordinates. "

"The lidar is continuously scanning, and the descending altitude is 3200. It is approaching the position where the signal of the missing person disappears. Captain, there is no suitable runway for landing nearby. It seems that we can only land vertically."

"What's going on! This is an urban area with dense buildings. Why didn't they make an emergency landing in the suburbs? Is the pilot drinking too much? Or is the booster of the airborne capsule malfunctioning?"

"Who knows, maybe the deceleration parachute didn't open, and it fell into a meatloaf."

"Eduardo! Shut your crow's mouth! Turn on the vertical thrust mode, and the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 turbine engines are tilted in vertical sequence. This thing is too fuel-intensive. Ditch the No. 1500 auxiliary fuel tank, and the altitude is [-]."

"Wow, look, Rainbow, it must have just rained."

"Isn't this a mining planet? Why does it look better than my hometown? Why did you give up colonization? It's a pity."

"Humans who destroy the environment are gone, everything is getting better, report, the wind is level 2, and the visibility is good."

"It... looks like a dead city. There's no one there. There's broken glass all over the place. The cars on the street all have their doors open. I saw skeletons. Oh my god, it's terrible."

"Look over there, there is SOS spray paint in the parking lot, and there are tents on the roof. It's hard to imagine what the residents here went through at the last moment."

"You know, buddy, this reminds me of an old movie, an end-time disaster movie about a zombie virus. It's particularly disgusting and terrifying. It's my childhood shadow. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go to the bathroom alone. I can't remember. what's it called?"

"Shaun of the Dead, huh? That's scary enough."

"Nonsense! It's a low-budget British comedy, Eduardo, stop bragging about being a movie fan!"

"Haha, fortunately it's an internal channel, don't let passengers listen to our jokes."

"Hey, it is said that the passengers we are carrying are the Alpha Raiders, the strongest corporate fighter team of the McMillan Group,
The big guy who led the team was a war hero, the winner of the Purple Heart Medal, and the five hundred members of the Federation Council of Terra gave him a standing ovation. "

"His subordinates are also ruthless. Judging by the captain's face and scars, it seems as if his face has been scratched by a lion, and that guy with a bald head and a big beard is an Olympic gold medalist in shooting."

"The hacker is not simple. He has stolen the data of the Federal Ministry of Defense and cracked encrypted resources. It is all thanks to him that we can download pirated movies."

"Why are you only talking about men? Are you guys gay? I'm only interested in those two female corporate fighters, the blonde with long legs and silver eyes, and the small and smart oriental black-haired beauty. Which one do you like?"

"Children make choices, I want them all!"

"I don't understand, why did the general hire a group of thugs from private companies? Why didn't we send our own troops?"

"You're stupid, the marines are on holiday, and they're playing and picking up girls in a nightclub right now."

"Harvest Festival holiday, all brothers and troops are on vacation, only a few of us, come to this shitty place, pull a boatload of corporate soldiers, to save those corrupt federal tax officials, what a damn dog! "

"Maybe it's not that simple. The tax inspector Baron Caussel who was involved in the accident is a stubborn conservative, the standard old aristocratic force, and the Green Party is a deadly enemy. To save him, it is of course necessary to find the armed forces of the Red Party to help him.

Of course, we are just guessing. The partisan disputes in the parliament are not something we little people can understand. "

"Captain...we scanned the escape pod, coordinates 45, 62,

The cabin body hit the roof of a building. The good news is that its parachute opened, and the shell was slightly squeezed and deformed. The survival rate of the escapees was higher than 50%. "

"Don't forget the reason why this colonial planet was abandoned. This place is full of blood-drinking monsters."

"What the hell, let those corporate warriors worry about it, get me through the cabin horn and tell them they're ready for work."

"Passengers, we are about to land on the road near the target. The relevant information has been sent to your smart terminals. Please don't leave your seat."

The armed transport plane lowered its landing gear, and the four high-thrust turbine engines consumed a lot of fuel, hovered at low altitude at low speed like a helicopter, and then landed steadily.

It is too simple for experienced paratroopers to descend through the atmosphere to fight on the surface.

This time, it was too simple, so that Lynch felt very uncomfortable, creating a sense of unreality like a dream.

There is no anti-aircraft artillery fire, no heat-seeking missiles, no bunkers and machine gunners, and no soldiers squatting in the trenches to shoot coldly. There is only desolation and silence, a different kind of fear.

Stepping out of the cabin, stepping on the soil of his hometown with his combat boots, Lynch bent down and pulled up a bunch of light blue wild flowers and put them into the magazine pouch.

Looking around, ten years of abandonment, the traces of human colonization are gradually fading,

Over the years, the dust generated by ore mining and the pollutants emitted by humans have basically been digested naturally.

Thanks to rapid reductions in carbon emissions and the repair of the ozone layer, the problem of excessive UV rays has been resolved.

The asphalt road is full of tumbleweeds that travel with the wind, and the tall buildings are covered with rose vines, like huge green tombstones.

The utility poles and signal lights are covered with huge bird nests, which look like huge mushrooms. The broken down cars block the intersection, and the glass is full of dried bird droppings.

Pandora's native vegetation and animals from the zoo occupied the city center and multiplied into colonies. A long-haired wild boar gnawed on the bushes, and was torn to pieces by two Pandora saber-toothed tigers in an instant.

It has become a wildlife sanctuary park for self-driving tours.

"Don't relax, there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere, captain, please turn off the engine and keep silent, we will come as we go."

"Don't worry, Captain, we are always ready to provide air support. Don't forget, there is also a frigate moored in orbit."

The Alpha Tactical Team received the mission coordinates, and they could reach the building by crossing the viaduct full of cars, and the escape pod hit the top of the building.

Lynch and goalkeeper Sigurd Lifa acted as forwards, scout Wang Hongye and grenadier Lodayev protected the flanks, hacker Shaft was protected in the middle, and sniper Mehmadi was behind.

After more than a dozen difficult missions, there has been no reduction in staff, and the level of tacit cooperation is far beyond that of ordinary teams.

The cars blocked on the viaduct lined up along the road for several kilometers, and there was no end in sight. After the monsters raged and the situation got out of control, a large number of citizens fled the city by car.

Unexpectedly, the defenders of the mining area have been slaughtered by monsters all over the mountains and plains.

The hungry and thirsty beast was heading towards the gathering place of its prey, and just hit the fleeing convoy head-on. The whole road was immediately covered in blood and screams, and a large number of remains are still dumped here today.

Shaft's attention was drawn to a car, and he walked over to check it out. It was a Mercedes supercar with a carbon fiber shell,
The person sitting in the driver's cab is undoubtedly a rich man, and he has turned into a dry skeleton at this time,

The seat belt is still on the ribs, squeaky!A rat burrowed through the skull, staring in horror at the heavily armed Corps warriors from their eye sockets.

"Wo Cao! Shock me!" Shaft took a step back. "It turned out to be a little mouse."

"It's so shocking, this is a veritable highway of death."

"I'm beginning to understand why Boss always has nightmares..."

"This car is a limited edition, and such a rich guy didn't have time to run. It seems that the situation at that time was caught off guard."

"Really, it was so sudden... At that time, I was still fighting bloody battles with the rebels in the centaur sector battlefield, and suddenly received the news of the destruction of my hometown."

With a heavy heart, Lynch said:

"No one knows why, bloodthirsty blind beasts suddenly poured out of the mine,

The Pandora National Guard and the police fought valiantly, but were outnumbered, and then doom befell the civilian population.

By the time a large number of support troops landed, it was already half a month later, and the cities and towns on the planet had already been turned into dead places.

The geologists and paleontologists of the investigation team blamed the local mining company for digging too deep. The drilling machine awakened the ancient beasts sleeping deep in the crust of Pandora.

Sixteen of our divisions joined the sweeping operation. The blind beasts were vulnerable to tanks and heavy infantry. We thought we had eradicated the scourge, but we underestimated the resilience of ancient creatures.

Later, it was discovered that the reproductive and survivability of blind beasts is incredible, and a considerable amount can be recovered after hiding in the ground for a few months.

Suddenly one would pop out from some hole and tear the garrison soldiers into pieces.
In order to prevent unnecessary loss of troops, the general ordered us to evacuate within three days,

I buried my mother and sister with my own hands,
It was far from being a corpse. To be precise, I collected and buried their broken pieces, broken bones, and rotting bits of flesh. "

"My God..." Wang Hongye trembled all over, looking at the captain with sympathetic eyes.

In the back row of an off-road vehicle with four doors wide open, a small skeleton was found on the baby seat. One can imagine the scene of sharp teeth chewing on the child's bones and tasting fresh flesh and blood.

"Unbelievable..." The pious Mahmadi broke his defense in an instant. He loves children, and this is the last thing he can bear. Two lines of hot tears ran across his face.

"We moved too fast to bury everyone, sorry, boy." Marcus Lynch pulled out wildflowers from the magazine pouch, placed them on the baby's bones, and turned to move on.

"Welcome to Pandora, my hometown." He said without looking back.
