Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 144 Prelude to Reach ([-])
Carter needed to find cover before being strafed by the plasma turret, so he ran all the way to the dilapidated hut next to him. "Emil, one more shot!"

The electric sound of the magnetic accelerator cannon recharging sounded again - but it disappeared immediately.

"Sir, the A-331 fusion power station is offline, and the magnetic accelerator cannon has lost power!" Emil reported on the communication channel.

Carter slightly poked his head out from the edge of the door frame of the cabin and looked at the sky at the two o'clock direction. He saw the Pillar of Autumn drawing a trajectory caused by the blue flames of the propeller and breaking through the atmosphere.The distance between it and Reach was rapidly widening, turning into a small dot in the sky.

Chasing behind the battleship was Colonel Price's Long Sword interceptor. Although the distance between the two was shrinking, Carter estimated that it would be difficult for the colonel to catch up with the Pillar of Autumn's jump.

"Our mission is accomplished, retreat!" A series of plasma beams hit the roof of the hut, and the high-temperature molten iron dripped on Carter's armor. In his ears, the sound of "Didi" as the energy shield was about to be overloaded rang. "The alarm sounded, "By the way, which force is responsible for guarding the generator base A-331?"

In the initial stage of the Battle of Reach, the Covenant sent hundreds of landing ships to invade from the North and South Poles of Reach.Their goal is to capture the fusion power plant on the surface of Reach.These power stations are specially used to charge super magnetic accelerator cannons in orbit and on the ground. Once captured, those forts will be nothing more than toys floating high above the planet.

Thousands of Grunts, Gnolls, Jiralhanae, and Elite Warriors flooded most of the power stations, with the support of tanks and aircraft, but even so, a few power stations performed their duties- Power Station A-331 is one of them.

According to Carter's judgment, the A-331 power station should be the longest-lasting power station since the Covenant invasion, so he couldn't help but wonder what kind of powerful force could hold off the Covenant for so long.

Without waiting for Emil to reply, Carter threw a fragmentation grenade at the Phantom troop carrier in the sky, then rushed out of the cabin the moment the explosion sounded, and ran straight to the scrapyard base under the magnetic accelerator cannon.

"Army Company C. No," Emil's tone was full of surprise. "The friendly identification mark over there has changed. It's now the Spartan Red Team."

A group of Phase II Spartans?That makes sense. Except for these seniors, no one can defend the power station under the massive attack of the Covenant - but since the power station has fallen now, their casualties must not be small.

Carter passed through the gate of the scrap shipyard base and ran towards the stairs to meet Emil, but two red dots that suddenly popped up on the motion detector stopped him in his tracks.

He was not surprised at all, because they had worked together to repel a wave of Covenant berserker attacks before, and the enemy coming this time would only be stronger, and it must be Spartan Hunter.

He quickly ducked down and hid behind a weapons cabinet filled with MA37 assault rifles.

"Emil, did you see that?" The No. [-] status light on the inside of the helmet instantly turned green.

"Don't act rashly." Carter stretched out the fiber optic probe attached to his helmet from the edge of the cabinet, and saw two special elite warriors holding energy swords approaching the stairs tiptoeing. "They are two Spartan hunters. If there is a conflict, our probability of winning is very low."

Although the height and body shape of these two elites are no different from ordinary elites, the armor they wear is thicker and has a more streamlined body shape.What surprised Carter even more was that the two guys were actually wearing sealed helmets that covered their entire heads, with only a visor and goggles exposed in the middle.

At the same time, the armor on their bodies can also independently adjust the appearance and color of the armor according to changes in the surrounding environment, which makes it more difficult to quickly distinguish elite warriors in high-speed movement.Although it is not as practical and effective as the stealth camouflage system, this set of chameleon-like autonomous color-changing armor more or less adds a touch of strategic initiative and advantage to elite warriors.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the elite warriors stopped to communicate with each other, Carter carefully looked at the two deadly and fierce opponents in front of him - in addition to their armor being more rounded, the curves on them were more elegant than those of ordinary elite combat armor, and they even had They were decorated with etched ornaments - although Carter could not clearly distinguish the shapes and colors of the enemies' decorations in the dim light, it seemed that the gadgets they wore were similar to the war paint favored by human warriors. The wonderful use - the appearance is gorgeous and perfectly embodies the owner's superb combat skills and glorious status.

Maybe the elite warriors don't want any humans here to be "lucky" to see the gorgeous accessories on their bodies, but one thing is undoubtedly that these elites want anyone to see with their own eyes the luxurious accessories that symbolize their status and class. Everyone can understand that they are by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Prepare to evacuate and don't have a head-on conflict with them." Carter said and was about to leave quietly. The most important thing now was to rendezvous with other members of the Noble Team as soon as possible, but an unexpected message broke the silence of remote communication. .

"This is UN Spared Frederick 04, we, Castle Base, survived." The Covenant interfered with communication beyond imagination, and the dense static noise made Carter almost unable to hear what was being said on the other side. But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that the two Spartan hunters were stunned, and then looked at him in unison - the silent break of the long-distance communication exposed him.

Without any hesitation, Carter pulled out the plasma pistol attached to his leg. After a moment of charging, he released his finger on the trigger. A large ball of green-gleaming plasma energy roared towards the body of the elite warrior. .

Although the elite warriors tried their best to escape this fully charged blow, the unique tracking function of the plasma energy ball still made its last efforts and struggles in vain - the energy balls united and bombarded the elite warriors solidly. above the chest.

The elite warrior howled angrily, and the energy shield of his armor paused several times, and finally stopped working completely due to overload.

Just as the plasma pistol fired, the BR55 in Carter's other hand also fired. He lightly and agilely pulled the trigger of the battle rifle, firing all the ammunition in the magazine at the fastest rate of fire. Pours onto the body of the elite warrior.
