Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 128 The Raid on the Truth and Harmony ([-])

The Master Chief felt that he was neither here nor on the other side. He was in the incredible halo teleportation network. It could only be said that he was in an ethereal state at this moment.He couldn't see anything, a dizzying sense of speed enveloped him, and he seemed to be able to hear Silva's voice during the process.

"We just made contact with Cortana, but the signal disappeared after she said that the Master Chief would be back soon." Silva's voice seemed to come from afar, but also seemed to be right in front of him, "I need you - Raven Fire Team—immediately go to the last location where their signal appeared to investigate, and you will see people alive, and you will see corpses."

John knew the Raven Firepower Team and also knew Ethan Graves. He was the captain of the Raven Firepower Team and was good at tactical command.The Raven Fire Team is an elite hell paratrooper team affiliated with the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. This fire team consists of four people.John worked with them briefly during the battle to escape the Pillar of Autumn.

A squeezing feeling oppressed his chest, and the Master Chief wanted to call out to Silva and tell him that he was "on the way" back and there was no need to send personnel to find him.

Soon, the Master Chief felt his body being reassembled molecule by molecule.Some blurry images flashed before his eyes, as if they were inside the field headquarters of Alpha Base. Circles of golden light spread around him and disappeared above his head.

Something seemed to go wrong, and he began to take a closer look at what the problem was - the room seemed to be upside down, and he saw Tommy, Case, Silva and four hell paratroopers looking at him with shocked eyes - -By the time he realized it, he had already fallen to the floor on all fours.

When he appeared just now, his feet were "stepping" on the ceiling.

【oh! ] Cortana shouted in his mind, [I understand, the coordinate data should be processed——]

The Master Chief stood firm on his feet, patted the location of his neural interface, and shook his head.The artificial intelligence said in a deeply regretful tone: [Verification, I'm sorry. 】

【That's nothing. ] The Master Chief looked at the people around him and straightened his back, "I'm back, there's no need to look for me."

"Just in time, John." Tommy smiled, "We're still wondering what Cortana means by 'teleporting'."

They then exchanged information and learned that although the Halo was created by the Forerunners to fight against the Flood, it would not kill the Flood, but would only kill the Flood's food.Human, Covenant, no difference.

Not only that, the maximum effective attack radius of this ring is [-] light years. If it is activated with several other chains, then there will no longer be life in this galaxy, at least not enough life forms to feed the Flood.

Additionally, Cortana told them about the Guilty Spark and his evil plan to activate Halo.

The atmosphere in the headquarters suddenly dropped to freezing point. No one expected that the Forerunners could be so advanced and stupid.

"Then we can't let him succeed." Keyes chewed his pipe unconsciously and said, "And the Flood, these little beasts must disappear with the ring."

Tommy didn't say anything, but tapped his fingers slightly on the table twice.

"That's right," Cortana, who appeared on the holographic display table, replied unabashedly, "We can't let the 'Guilty Spark' activate the Halo. We must stop it - we must destroy the Halo." Case nodded, I stretched my stiff shoulders. “What do we do to get there?”

"An explosion of sufficient power," Cortana explained, "could trigger the disintegration of a ringworld - destroying a series of basic systems. However, we need to trigger an explosion of huge power, and the fusion reactor on the starship will make or break the mission. key."

She tilted her head at Case, "Captain, I hope you don't mind too much. The energy levels show that the Pillar of Autumn's nuclear fusion reactor is still intact."

"Of course not, Cortana," Case shook the pipe in his hand from side to side, "but the system on the ship has turned on the failsafe. You cannot overload the Pillar of Autumn's reactor without my authorization. He tapped her with the blunt end of his pipe. "You have to take me with you."

"Captain, the Pillar of Autumn must be full of Flood and Covenant people now, this-"

Graves took a step forward, "Sir, the Raven Fire Team is happy to perform escort missions."

Cortana felt a little unhappy at being interrupted by Graves and quietly rolled her eyes.

"Then it's settled," Case said, "That's my ship, and I'm going to send her away myself."

Two hours later, Major Silva stood on the side of the parade platform, with his legs spread apart and his hands behind his back, looking at the male and female soldiers on the entire landing platform.Under the command of Silva, they were making final preparations to seize the Covenant battleship Truth and Harmony.

Fifteen Banshee fighter jets, all gathered from different locations on Halo's war-torn surface, parked in a row, ready to go.

Eight Pelican troop carriers, ramps lowered, were loaded with heavily armed Marines. 330 six marines hold weapons and ammunition suitable for this mission: there are no long-range weapons, such as sniper rifles, only assault rifles, shotguns and grenades. These are all invincible in close combat. It can be used to deal with both the Covenant and the Flood with ease.

Marine personnel, 170 in total, were equipped with Covenant plasma rifles and pistols, which were lightweight and did not require reloading, leaving enough space for the Marines to carry tools, food, and medical supplies.They were asked to avoid combat as much as possible in order to conserve their strength and operate the warships.Some of them, a group of 16, whose skills were so vital that each man was accompanied by two Marine bodyguards.

If the Master Chief and Keyes could successfully complete their mission, they would take the remaining lifeboats on the Pillar of Autumn and rendezvous with the Truth and Harmony in outer space - but this is impossible.

Silva hopes that the manpower he arranged can successfully complete the task and retrieve Cortana's chip.If that doesn't work, there's Price's artificial intelligence, Ellie.Coupled with the cooperation of naval personnel, the alien cruiser should also be able to pass through the slip space and return to Earth.

He had already planned a performance in his mind, dreaming about the supreme glory he would receive, and a short but provocative speech to the media.
