Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 166 Linda ([-])

Polaski turned on the monitor for the camera mounted on the left side of the fuselage and pointed it at the Covenant cruiser. "They're waiting for us," she shouted. "Get out of their way." The Pelican rolled to its right. "Accelerate and rush towards the flag——"

The flagship is right in front, too close.It must have anticipated their flight trajectory, but it did not expect that they would turn around and rush directly towards it. Otherwise, the flagship's position would be above them, which would be an excellent position to fire an attack.

"The Pelican troop carrier is 200 kilometers ahead," Polaski said.

This huge spaceship attracted the firepower of those cruisers. Black smoke emitted from the ship and was trailed behind. Some parts had been hit and evaporated.

"The floating mine has been launched," the Master Chief reported. "Avoid the attack path of the floating mine and fly into the navigation point. Polaski, don't touch them."

"Understood," she replied, "Attention - entering."

"It's so annoying." Locklear muttered to himself, "The battleships are fighting back and forth, the firepower is so intense, but I'm just sitting here, doing nothing, just listening to them telling them to pay attention, and I can't even think about it. I don’t even know when it will be blown to pieces.”

Tommy said nothing, but he felt the same way.He is as anxious about space combat as this hell paratrooper, but the difference is that he does not have as bad a temper as this paratrooper.

"Come on." Cecilia took over the conversation and said, "Shut up and let the lady drive properly." He took out a few pieces of bubble gum from his pocket and distributed them to a few people who were still idle.

Tommy looked at the bubble gum in his hand, which was Rebecca's favorite chew.

Cecilia bared her teeth at Tommy and said, "Sir, Rebecca asked me to give this to you."

Tommy nodded and stuffed the unopened bubble gum into his tactical pocket.

Polaski continued to dodge the attack, and the Longsword rolled around, sometimes tilting to port and sometimes to starboard.She made the fighter roll twice in a row to avoid a plasma torpedo launched by the enemy flagship.

"We are connecting to the combat communication network of the Covenant forces." Cortana said loudly in the communication channel of the Longsword machine. "We are entering their weapon systems and preparing for action."

The Pelican intercepted another plasma torpedo ahead, and the explosion ignited a raging fire that disappeared a moment later, like a cloud of gleaming ionized metal wiping the night sky.

The enemy's flagship appeared on a display screen on the front of the fighter plane - the size of a dinner plate.

"No time to play," Polaski muttered.She pressed the afterburner button and sped towards the flagship.

Due to the sudden acceleration, Cecilia and Locklear were suddenly bounced to the end of the sword.Although Tommy still held on to the handle tightly, his body floated almost parallel to the deck.

"Too close, and you might hit the outer edge of the enemy flagship as you approach it," Cortana warned.

"Really?" Polaski replied angrily, "No wonder they call you a 'smart' artificial intelligence." She lowered the visor of her visor, "I'm responsible for the driving, you focus on destroying their Weapons systems go.”

"They're launching fighters," the Master Chief warned.The flagship of the Covenant force now fills half of the display screen, and six Seraph fighter jets are emerging from the huge fuselage. "There are still twenty floating mines that have not exploded. The enemy plane has entered the attack range of the floating mines. It is tracking, locking on the target and adjusting its direction." The teardrop-shaped Seraph fighter jets were blown up one after another, and the flames from them were mixed with Together.John's fists clenched suddenly, "It's on target!"

"The enemy ship's forward weapon systems and shields have been disabled." Cortana said, "Take advantage of this opportunity!"

Polaski whispered to himself: "Come on. I can do it."

The enemy's flagship filled the entire display screen, and even the complex lavender lines on the surface were clearly visible.

"It's about to hit," Cortana warned.

Polaski cut the engines and turned on the attitude adjustment thrusters.The long sword machine plunged down suddenly, and then flew forward at full speed. The engine was overloaded and roared.

They flew past the bottom of the flagship in an instant, and Polaski switched the display to a dual-screen display—monitoring the nose and tail simultaneously.She saw the flagship getting smaller and smaller behind them, the Longsword heading towards the dark side of the critical star, where the Truth and Harmony was waiting for them.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Cortana spoke up at this moment: "When I hacked into their combat communication system, I checked the crew list of this ship: three thousand Covenant soldiers, most of them engineers. Gulu Qing There is one company of soldiers, but only a hundred elite warriors.”

"Only a hundred?" Tommy murmured. It was extremely abnormal for such a huge aircraft carrier to have such a small number of troops.He secretly memorized this information and it would come in handy in the future.

A blue navigation point popped up on the interceptor's control panel, pointing toward an arc-shaped outline shrouded in darkness.

Cortana opened the longsword machine's communicator, "Call the Truth and Harmony, this is Cortana," she smiled briefly, "This is the first time I'm happy to see a Covenant cruiser. .”

"Copy that, Cortana, don't be too happy. There will be many more opportunities like this in the future." It was Ellie who responded. At this moment, Tommy felt that this was the most beautiful voice in the entire universe. "We were planning to support you, but It seems that there is no need. The Covenant people have been fooled by you and are searching this star field with all their strength. We'd better hurry up. Go to the No. [-] berthing bay, the relevant personnel are already there."

No one needed to be reminded, Polaski had already steered the sword machine straight towards the Truth and Harmony, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At Ellie's prompt, the Long Sword interceptor flew into one of the huge berthing bays scattered around the sides of the Truth and Harmony.The docking bay was kept airtight by a lavender energy field, and Tommy felt a tingling sensation sweep across his skin as the interceptor passed through the energy field.

The interceptors landed slowly, but the sound of gunfire echoing in the docking bay made them tense again.

"What the hell are they doing?" Cecilia muttered.

Tommy held the shotgun and did not rush to open the rear hatch of the interceptor. Instead, he opened the communication channel and said: "Ellie, report the situation."

"I wanted to wait until you came to the bridge to forget about it. To make a long story short, Silva had previously ordered certain compartments on the battleship to be sealed. It took the Marines a long time to open them one by one. However, it was all empty, and all the Flood samples that were supposed to be trapped inside were gone. I scanned the entire battleship repeatedly and found that they had taken this opportunity to invade the ventilation system of the battleship, and I could not completely remove them. "
