Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 138 Double Betrayal ([-])

"Give us three minutes."

After the colonel agreed, the communication shut down with a snap.

I know that if we don't resolve this hostage crisis quickly and properly, Taut is going to die.

Perhaps impatiently waiting, Silva shouted: "I'm not negotiating with you!" He turned his gun and shot Toute in the knee.

Taut screamed in pain and struggled like a bound lion, but was firmly held down by the rebels who controlled him.

"Spartan freak, show up immediately and hand over your artificial intelligence!" Silva shouted, "If you don't do this, I will execute your comrades now!"

Aurora couldn't wait for the colonel's order. She stood up and shot Silva "bang bang bang". The bullets were blocked by the energy shield protecting the platform and bounced in all directions.

"Damn it, Aurora!" I yelled, "You're fucking killing Tot!"

I can understand Aurora's concern about Taut, but doing this is really retarded, and Taut's brain will burst out if he is not careful.

The colonel pushed her back behind cover and whispered a warning, making her understand the stakes.Aurora collapsed and sobbed. I could imagine her tears without taking off her helmet.After I rescue Taote, I have to ask her boyfriend to give her a simple and rough lesson and tell her how to protect the lives of the hostages.

Silva laughed off the pointless attack like a badass movie villain before pointing his gun at Tout's head.

"I'm so fucking tired of this game," Silva's expression became increasingly impatient, "I'm counting to three."

There was nothing I could do. At that time, I really hated my mother who was killed by the rebels for not giving me a smarter brain.

But Colonel Price has such a smarter mind.

He stood up from behind the cover he was hiding in, raised his hands, and tried to look as nonchalant as possible. "Major Silva, we are all comrades in arms, there is no need for this."

Seeing the colonel stand up, Silva first shrank his head unconsciously, and then shouted angrily: "Throw away the gun!"

The colonel let go and dropped the pistol to the ground. The MA5B assault rifle was still fixed on his back with a magnetic lock. But before Silva emptied the magazine, even the Spartan had no chance of firing. And Xi Erva also saw through this.

The colonel motioned to Rebecca to help him keep an eye on Aurora and stop doing anything stupid. Then the three of us stood beside him and threw the guns at our feet.

"Personally speaking, I admire the heroic spirit of you Spartan freaks," Silva said before the colonel could say anything, "but in most cases you freaks are all the same, you just know Be an obedient soldier and never think about whose way you have blocked or whose number of merit medals you have reduced!"

"Spartans are born to do this. We don't care about these achievements." The colonel said lightly.

"Fart! Do you think I would trust a guy who has more medals than an entire army?"

What the colonel did next really surprised him, and so did we - he took off his helmet.Rebecca grabbed the colonel's wrist, glared angrily and asked him to put on his helmet.But the colonel ignored her and said to Silva: "Since you want it, I am completely willing to give you all the medals. Not only that, I can also let General Osignin take care of you. Now you are satisfied." Bar."

It's a pity that the rank of Major that Silva obtained in the UNSC was not based on a job. He knew very well what Colonel Price wanted.

"Do you think I'm one of those fools who was fooled by the Military Intelligence Agency?" he finally said. "Stop stalling with me!"

The colonel suddenly laughed. "Okay," he stared at Silva, "you have all the good cards, how do you want to play?"

"Hurry up and throw the chip containing the artificial intelligence on the ground, otherwise I will not only kill him..." He pointed the gun at the colonel's head, which was not protected by the helmet, "You will not survive either."

The colonel shrugged in surrender and reached for his helmet, trying to pull out the chip.From my vantage point I could see him tapping his fingers imperceptibly on the edge of his helmet.

The next second, an explosion sounded at the tail of the Truth and Harmony distracted everyone present. The entire bridge shook violently, and the roar of the Flood and the firing of projectile weapons were heard outside the pressure door. Voice.

"What's going on?!" Silva stabilized his body and roared at Loggins.

Loggins, sweating profusely, contacted someone on the ship for a while, and then reported to Silva: "The Flood has counterattacked! They broke through the welded hatch and are swarming to all parts of the battleship!"

"You want to keep a sample of the Flood?" The colonel raised an eyebrow contemptuously. I bet he did this on purpose, just to arouse Silva's anger.

"Exactly!" Silva said proudly, "There is no threat to the earth more terrifying than the sons of bitches of the Covenant! As long as our scientists can study the living specimens of the Flood, we will definitely Can find more effective ways to deal with the Flood."

This time the colonel grasped the topic, and the next second he used his strength against Silva, a self-important coward. Every time he asked a question, the colonel stabbed him hard with his finger.

"Then tell me, what will you do if even one Flood spore is leaked? What can you do when women and children are eaten alive by the Flood and become infected? What you issued when you first joined the Marine Corps' Where did you throw that oath of "eternal loyalty" now?"

This was the first time I saw a Spartan speaking with a red face and thick neck. The colonel's loud accusation made Silva blush, and he inadvertently put down the pistol pointed at Taote's head.

"Sir?" Sergeant Johnson's voice rang in my ear, "Fire C team is in position."

The colonel snapped into his helmet and shouted, "Sergeant, move!" and then fell to his left side, snapping the helmet back on his head before he hit the ground.

Silva picked up his assault rifle and pointed it at us.The eccentric colonel pulled Rebecca into the bunker, and Aurora was dragged by Rebecca and hid in it, so I was the only one who lost the chance.One of the bullets hit my arm, causing me to turn around and fall onto the holographic viewing table that was in a semicircle.

The ODST combat armor took most of the damage, but a piece of shrapnel passed through the shield and pierced my shoulder.What was even more unbearable was the huge impact. I felt like I had been kicked by a Jiralhanae.

"Conceal!" I heard Johnson yell while the bullets were still flying in the air.In an instant, the pressure door leading to the upper platform was blown open, and Silva's angry gun went silent.
