Lin Ao took deep breaths repeatedly, his shoulders rose and fell, and sweat fell from his forehead and dripped on his eyes.
"Damn..."
He wiped the sweat from his eyes and saw clearly the humanoid weapon that he had just destroyed in front of the Yalta City Council Building.
"I am Lin Ao, and I have eliminated the enemies in the city council building."
"Lin Ao? Are you okay? Wait for us there!"
Lin Ao turned off Corporal Bart's communication. He felt his head was numb. The image of the woman and baby who were smashed to death due to the HER attack appeared repeatedly in his mind.
"These beasts... beasts!"
His limbs trembled again, he pressed the pedal hard and flew into the sky again.
…
"You said that Lin Ao supported two locations by himself and destroyed three Yingyangs?"
Captain Shepard didn't believe it. He heard that Lin Ao's training results after boarding the ship were not satisfactory, but when he saw the serious face of Corporal Bart who was usually laughing and joking on the screen, he believed it.
"What happened to him?"
"I don't know... He lost control after Miao Haosi was attacked. Maybe he saw that Miao Haosi was almost killed. He was worried that he would also be killed, so he lost control."
"I've seen recruits like this before, but this record is really... remarkable."
"Captain, we can't let him go on like this! Someone has to stop him, otherwise he will definitely die!"
"But who can stop him..." No one thought that the No. 2 aircraft of the Moore Chamber of Commerce could fly short distances at a low altitude of twenty to thirty meters. Now that all Osiris crew members are dispatched, no one can catch up with Lin Ao.
"I understand. I will ask the friendly forces of the New European Union (NEU), hoping that they can persuade Lin Ao... Bart, you guys to sweep away the remaining HER resistance forces in the city."
"yes!"
Captain Shepard turned off the screen, feeling a little uneasy. This was not because Lin Ao was uneasy because of his unexpected actions, but because he had a premonition of something...
…
Lin Ao's No. 2 aircraft was flying over the city of Yalta. Due to the continuous high-speed flight, there was not much energy stored in the body, making the speed much slower.
Humanoid weapons are driven by nuclear engines, and lubricating oil is used to extend the life of the internal structure. Lubricating oil only needs to be replenished every time after a war. The only thing you need to pay attention to during war is to reserve energy. Because in actual combat, humanoid weapons may require frequent and intense exercise, which will quickly consume a large amount of energy. It is simply not enough to rely on nuclear power engines to provide energy at any time, and in order to maintain the stability of nuclear power engines, their usual output is also limited. Therefore, every humanoid weapon has an area dedicated to storing energy, which can quickly provide a large amount of energy when needed. Once it is used up, you have to wait for the nuclear engine to recharge.
Two "partner cavalry" in the form of fighter jets chased him from behind.
"Friends of the Osiris, your captain ordered you to stop and rest. You have done a good job."
"Captain Shepard..."
"Yes, he asked us to stop you."
"I see...will I be punished for disobedience later?"
"Sorry, we don't know about this. We will go to support our comrades in other areas. Thank you for your support in the square just now."
Lin Ao let go of the pedal, and the No. 2 aircraft slowly turned around on the street. The two "Partner Cavalry" flew in the direction where Lin Ao was going to support.
After slowly calming down, Lin Ao felt that his heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.
"Huh...huh..."
He slumped in his seat exhausted.
"Not bad, you just performed better than a professional driver."
An image of applause appeared on the screen, and the AI temporarily shut down some functions of Unit 2 to restore the reserve energy more quickly.
"But I couldn't save the woman and child..."
"Look up."
Lin Ao raised his head. The city of Yalta was still filled with smoke, but the sound of the exchange of fire was quieter than at the beginning.
"…What's wrong?"
"Because of your efforts, the end time of the battle has been advanced much earlier. You must have saved more people invisibly."
Lin Ao was relieved a lot by these words.
"This AI of yours can actually say some nice things."
"I'm afraid that if you lose control and punch the screen, it will affect some of my functions, although your little fist may not be able to break it."
Lin Ao took out the water glass under the seat and took a sip.
"When I go back, I will definitely be punished for disobedience."
"Of course, but it's not impossible."
"any solution?"
"I just entered the nearby network and learned a very interesting piece of information: the mayor and celebrities of Yalta are imprisoned in the Livadia Palace outside the city. If you rescue them, you will definitely be able to make amends. .”
"Livadia Palace? Didn't I remember that the NEU already controls it?"
"They don't have an efficient AI to tell them this information, so go ahead!"
"But don't I need to ask for permission?"
"Of course I have to ask for permission! You idiot!"
"Hey! Your AI is really annoying!"
…
Lin Ao asked the Osiris for instructions to rescue the hostages held in the Livadia Palace. Seeing that his mood had stabilized, Shepard agreed.
"How about just informing NEU directly that there are hostages? Didn't they send people to control the place? Why let Lin Ao make a trip?" Jessica Communications Soldier asked.
"Our rescue is different from NEU's rescue. After the war, the Osiris may be able to get some sponsorship, but the NEU cannot take all the good things."
"Tsk...You old men have been thinking about this all day long? It's really evil..."
Shepard pointed to his head: "This is called foresight!"
"Captain!" Jessica suddenly raised her voice.
"what happened again?"
"The three companion cavalry stationed at the Livadia Palace were all destroyed!"
"What did you say? Where is Lin Ao? Where is he? Stop him!"
"He has already opened up with the enemy ambushing Livadia Palace!"
"What?!"
…
Jessica was right. As soon as Lin Ao flew near the Livadia Palace, he was chased by five or six tracking missiles. After the few battles just now, Lin Ao's driving improved, and he hid in the woods to avoid the missiles. The tracking missiles were unable to pursue Lin Ao in the woods, and they all detonated in the woods.
"so close…"
Lin Ao gasped and his heart beat faster. The operation and consciousness just now were all done subconsciously.
"Speaking of which, I also trained on the Osiris for almost 10 days, but have I improved so quickly?"
The results of dodging tracking missiles and destroying three Yingyangs by one person made Lin Ao feel a little elated. But after he saw the woods burning because of him, he felt a little guilty.
While he was in a daze, a roar came from the left. He just turned his head, and the No. 2 aircraft was hit in the shoulder by a missile. The power of ordinary missiles is not enough to destroy the armor of humanoid weapons, but this is a large-sized missile specifically designed to target humanoid weapons. In addition, Lin Ao caused Unit 2 to suffer too much damage in the previous battle. His shoulder armor could not withstand the attack and was deformed.
"Forehead!!"
This missile also shook the No. 2 aircraft to the ground. In front of Lin Ao, a green-painted Eagle appeared. Except for the different colors, this green Eagle is almost fully armed. It carries a thermal saber in its left hand, a machine gun in its right hand, and is equipped with a missile launcher on its right shoulder. One of the six missiles of the missile launcher was missing. It seemed that it was Lin Ao that it had just attacked.
Before Lin Ao could stand up, Green Eagle Yang fired another missile, and Lin Ao stepped on the pedal. Unit 2 jumped more than thirty meters high to avoid the missile.
But this action seemed to be within the enemy's calculations. After Green Eagle Yang fired the second missile, he aimed his shoulder at the sky, and the third missile hit the No. 2 machine directly.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
The armor on the chest of the No. 2 machine was cracked, and it fell backwards with black smoke. Green Yingyang was chasing the fallen No. 2 machine while aiming and shooting. The constant blows made Lin Ao breathless and he didn't know what to do.
Unit 2 finally crashed outside the Livadia Palace, crushing many trees. Lin Ao was so shaken by the vibration when he fell to the ground that he almost vomited again.
"Retreat, you can't beat this guy!"
Lin Ao controlled the No. 2 machine to stand up and took out the laser rifle to look for the green Ying Yang, but this time the enemy did not take the initiative to show up.
"I heard that there is a black machine with two thick horns making a big fuss in the city. Is that you?" A woman's voice came from behind the woods.
"Woman? Are you a woman? On the battlefield!?"
"Is there anything strange about this? Look behind you."
Lin Ao pulled up the camera on his back and saw the remains of three "Partner Cavalry" lying on the grass in front of the Livadia Palace.
"Did you do these!?"
"Yes, you will join them soon, the horned one!"
