Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 141 Ending ([-])

The slope was coming down, and the Chief hit the brakes, and soon heard with satisfaction the loud bang of something, sending jagged shards of metal flying across the passage in front of him.The Master Chief took his foot off the brake, crushing a conglomerate Flood into paste, and then continued to drive the troop carrier towards the opposite slope.

He emerged from the lower passage and saw a fence in front of him, so he turned the car around and turned left into a side road.There was another narrow slope ahead. He accelerated up the slope and flew across two horizontal ditches.He never thought his driving skills would handle such an obstacle.He hit a bar, flipped the car over, and finally drove the Warthog out of the end of the tunnel and into another maintenance lane.

A bunch of Flood appeared in front of him, and he rushed towards them, feeding the monsters to the four hungry tires.

"That last jump was great," Cortana said approvingly, "How did you know to jump from the end?" 】

【I have no idea. ] As the Sergeant Major said, the personnel carrier suddenly tilted, turned out of the passage, and entered another passage.

【oh. ] Cortana's tone contained a hint of disappointment at the Master Chief's boring answer.

The passage was empty, and the Chief was finally able to keep accelerating, allowing the Warthog to rush into a wide passage.The troop carrier passed by in the wind, and he stepped on the accelerator to buy more time.

The huge passage was extremely flat and had no obstacles, but it led to a hellish hall: murderous Flood demons and sentries with flashing lasers, all trying to confiscate his exit ticket in advance. He paused for a moment and saw a person on the left. He immediately drove towards the rising slope, ignoring the hissing energy rays hitting the surface of his armor and sweeping through the interior of the personnel carrier.

The Chief struggled to control the Warthog, but a tire dug into a metal groove on the curb, threatening to pull the entire vehicle into the chaos below.The situation was difficult, with plasma beams raining down from every possible direction, but the Master Chief still made the necessary corrections, rushed down the slope, turned left, and found himself entering another huge passage in the middle of the road. There are many pillars lined up, extending into the distance.

He carefully dodged back and forth, weaving between pillars to save time, running into a melee of Flood and Covenant men and being attacked by a group of Sentinels.The troop carrier drove to another open area with twists and turns, and there was a row of fences in front of it.He took a quick look around, confirmed that there was another rising slope in the large passage on the left, and drove towards it.

The explosion sent a cloud of flames and smoke pouring out of the front fence and nearly flipping the Warthog out of the driveway.

Fortunately, after driving down the slope, everything seemed a little calmer. The Master Chief entered a huge passage, sprinted at full speed, slowed down in an open area, and the car entered a maintenance lane.The tires swallowed the infected Flood alive, making a "crackling" sound.The engine roared, and the Chief almost lost control. He drove out of the passage too fast, and it was too late when he realized that there was a lower passage ahead.

This time the car jumped downwards, and the front wheels not only hit the ground hard, but also turned 180 degrees - only a sharp brake at the last moment and a little luck prevented the personnel carrier from overturning.The Master Chief opened the passage and returned to the maze-like forest of pillars.

He cursed silently at having to dodge back and forth between obstacles.The numbers on the countdown were getting smaller and smaller, and every alien, monster, and robot with weapons was firing at him at this time.Next, the Master Chief passed through a flat road, then a short maintenance channel, down a slope, and came into a huge passage.

At this time, Cortana began to call for help: "Cortana, call the captain! Request evacuation immediately! It's urgent!"

"On the way, Cortana!" Case replied as the Master Chief sped into another passage. "Wait, stop the car!" Cortana insisted, "Captain, we are in position!

The Chief braked hard, a jumble of radio traffic ringing in his ears.He turned his head to the left and saw a UNSC Pelican troop carrier flying towards him, but what was not good was that two Banshee fighters were latching onto the troop carrier and trying to hit one of the ship's engines.

"Captain!" Cortana exclaimed.

"There are a lot of beasts today!" Case yelled angrily. "I can deal with them, but it will take a while, and I may not be able to catch up with your evacuation. Cortana, further ahead is the hangar of the Pillar of Autumn. There should be a few Longswords there, and another UNSC force is recovering the vehicles!"

The troop transport suddenly accelerated, and the engines on both sides of the ship roared with blue flames, roaring past their heads. The two Banshees erupted with plasma beams and flew past.

"Looks like we have no choice," Cortana said. A new navigation point popped up on the heads-up display. "There are also three Longsword interceptors parked in launch bay seven.If we leave immediately, we can get there! 】

After the Master Chief made sure that the raven next to him was firmly locked in the seat, he turned the steering wheel and the troop carrier immediately continued to drive forward.He drove the Warthog through a hatch, jumped down a ramp, and entered a passage.

A huge pillar stood in the center of the passage, and a series of uneven obstacles on the ground made the troop carrier bump along the way until it returned to a flat road.Debris from the explosion flew from both sides of the passage, making it almost impossible for him to hear Cortana's voice.She was talking about "full speed" and also mentioned "cross ditch".

He stepped on the accelerator, but what happened next was more luck than skill.The Chief sprinted up a slope at full speed, feeling his stomach lurch.The troop carrier flew into the air, jumped two or three times when it landed, fell heavily to the ground, twisted its front end to the side, and finally stopped.

At this moment, an unexpected voice sounded on his communicator.

"John, we have arrived at the hangar, but we can only block them for a while, come here!" Tommy's voice was mixed with the curses of the Marines and the roar of the Flood.

A faint smile appeared on the Master Chief's lips. "almost there!"

He turned the wheel sharply, turned the front of the car back, and glanced at the timer.The reading is 01:10:20.He stepped on the accelerator frantically, and the Warthog flew through a narrow passage like an arrow.Then, a row of fences appeared at the entrance of the hangar in front, completely blocking the road.

The sound of firing of projectile weapons echoed in the hangar. John raised his head slightly and saw a Pelican hovering in the air, using its cannon to shoot at the Flood warriors coming from the ground.
