In the deep dark space, an umbrella-shaped spacecraft is slowly approaching the blue planet from a distant orbit. From a distance, it looks like a dandelion falling from the sky.

Compared to the entire blue planet, the dandelion-shaped spacecraft is as small as dust.

However, if you look closer, you will see a completely different scenery.

I saw the umbrella ribs made of steel extending outward, covering an area of ​​several square kilometers.

Countless rings with a diameter of one meter are inlaid on the long umbrella ribs, pointing at the tip of the "handle" of the sword pointing to the ground, like the suction cups on the legs of an octopus.

A few months ago, the alliance activated gravity wells to remove orbital debris floating in outer space, and this space-based weapon was transferred and deployed outside of synchronous orbit.

But now, as all the garbage in low-Earth orbit has fallen into the southern sea, this big killer has been moved back again.

The direction calibration was quickly completed, and the rings gradually emitted a faint blue light, just like the bright lights slowly lighting up in the long night.

And this light lasts all day...

…

On the other side, in the Dawn City ground command center, a group of officers led by Vanus were standing with serious expressions, staring at the light blue holographic screen directly in front of them.

A military operation codenamed "God's Punishment" has begun.

Several alliance corps, headed by the Skeleton Corps and the Death Corps, are setting off from Pioneer City and Ravenka Industrial Area respectively, heading towards Vault 13 in the central area of ​​the great desert in both north and south directions!

While the ground troops were galloping towards the headquarters of the Enlightenment Society, the strategic weapon called "Sky Thunder" had arrived on the battlefield first as early as yesterday and entered the final stage of strategic attack preparations.

Looking at the aerial footage of orbital weapons on the holographic screen, a senior officer couldn't help but sigh.

"To be honest, using this kind of weapon to deal with them always makes me feel like I can shoot mosquitoes with a cannon."

"Tianlei" is a one-time weapon and is basically scrapped after being fired, just like a missile.

Although this thing has miraculous effects on organic matter, it is not as effective as an electromagnetic pulse on androids.

A long time ago, the Enlightenment Society installed a large number of bionic soldiers and intelligent weapons with the help of heavenly beings, so much so that today's Enlightenment Society has almost been assimilated by heavenly beings.

Even if the neutron plume can wipe their peripheral personnel from the surface with one click, the Alliance's ground forces will still have to fight those androids with real swords and guns.

Vanus knew exactly what his subordinates were thinking.

From a tactical perspective, using "Sky Thunder" to deal with the Enlightenment Society is indeed not the most efficient method, but from a strategic perspective it is another matter.

"Now is the time to shoot mosquitoes with a cannon."

Holding the brim of the officer's hat with his index finger, Vanus continued with a stern expression.

"It can even be said that this weapon was created for this moment."

Even during the most intense stage of the war with the Southern Army, the Union never played this kind of trump card.

Because the other person is still a human being after all, and has not completely turned into a beast or another kind of existence.

But enlightenment will be different.

Including the gods they are attached to.

They have actually committed an unforgivable crime and threaten the right of all survivors in the wasteland to survive.

No one deserves "God's punishment" more than themselves.

That light falling from the sky will bring more than just destruction.

It’s also a deterrent!

Just as the two were talking, a cold electronic sound sounded in the empty command room——

"The deployment of the 'SOG' system has been completed, and the phase-neutron killing strategic space-based rail gun has entered the third charging stage."

"Countdown: 0 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds."

…

The sharp blade hanging high is shining with an increasingly dazzling cold light, and the countdown to the end is silently reciting its final sound.

On the ruins covered with yellow sand, mutant wanderers wearing battle-damaged exoskeletons are searching for valuable treasures among the debris of orbital garbage, and taking the opportunity to see if there are any human scavengers hiding in the ruins.

A long time ago, people from the Enlightenment Society issued high rewards to them.

If they can find a shelter that has been opened but has not yet been discovered, they will be rewarded with 100 fertile slaves, and at least.

As for those weird metal parts, they can be exchanged from resource exchange points for usable exoskeletons and assault rifles specially designed for their physiques.

In fact, except for the survivors hiding in turtle shells and the enlightenment group who evacuated to Vault 13, there are no living people living on the surface near the ruins of the space elevator in the great desert.

Due to the lack of order and the indulgence of the Enlightenment Society, this area has long become a paradise for mutants.

Today is the same as usual. "Fang", who is missing an ear, is rummaging around with his head down and humming.

But what was different from usual was that its nose with a keen sense of smell suddenly smelled a faint scent from the noisy sand.

Unlike the rust that can be smelled everywhere——

The smell is like death itself!

It raised its head alertly, twisted its neck, and looked around like a marmot emerging from its burrow.

However, at this moment, a touch of shock and panic suddenly appeared in those ferocious and bloody eyes.

In the rolling dust, dozens of huge silver aircraft were seen flying forward close to the ground.

The deafening roar comes from far to near, and the flashing plasma plume is like lava bursting from a volcano!

That seems to be the Alliance's "Overlord" transport plane!

In addition to the transport aircraft, next to the array of transport aircraft flying close to the ground, there are also "Yunfly" ornithopters flapping their wings and gliding side by side!

"Roar--!"

I have never seen such a scene that shook the earth. The mutant standing in the garbage dump was completely panicked. He picked up the weapon in his hand and loaded it, while howling to greet his teammates.

Thousands of mutants emerged from the ruins.

Some of them wore exoskeletons with large-caliber rifles in their hands, and some wore nothing but picked up a few pieces of iron and hung them on their bodies, shouting to gain courage.

The roaring silver torrent obviously noticed them. The two "Overlord" transport planes lowered their height, their belly almost touched the ground, and reduced their speed to the limit!

At this moment, the hatch of the transport plane opened in an instant, and dozens of Chimera armored vehicles filed out and fell out of the sloping hatch!

"Ready to fight!!!"

A player leaned half out of the turret of the armored vehicle, holding the heavy machine gun on the turret with both hands, and swept through the ruins in front of him!

The 37mm cannon on the turret was not to be outdone, and high-explosive shells were sprayed out one after another, hitting the bunker in the distance like a drum!

Under the crossfire of the 50-caliber machine gun and the 37mm cannon, the mutant wanderers crawling on the edge of the ruins were instantly beaten and unable to lift their heads!

At the same time that the mutant wanderers were suppressed by fire, a "Thunder" fighter jet roared through the sky and emptied the bomb bay in just two seconds!

"Porphyrin——!"

The roaring rain of bullets was like thunder, following closely behind the flashing sparks, and instantly created a "trench" several meters long and more than half a meter deep on the ruins!

Dozens of mutants carrying anti-tank rocket launchers were killed instantly, and a crack was torn open in the originally solid defense line!

The Yun Ting ornithopters swarmed up, their machine guns hanging on the ground firing a sudden burst of fire.

In just a few breaths, more than half of the nearly 3,000 mutants had been killed or injured under the indiscriminate bombardment. Those who survived were also stunned and ran away as if their lives were lost.

Of course they can't escape.

Even if you can escape the fire from Chimera armored vehicles and Yun Ting ornithopters, you will definitely not be able to escape the divine punishment that will come in an hour!

The small group of Alliance troops wandering outside the nuclear strike area were like scissors, cutting away the mutant forces scattered near the wreckage of the orbital elevator base while driving them towards the direction of the nuclear strike area.

Only the shelter's permanent bunkers can block the neutron plume falling from the sky.

Death awaits them.

[The Escaped Mole] leaned half out of the turret, squinting his eyes and looking at the direction in which the mutant wanderers were escaping.

It's really too weak.

Compared with the opponents he had come into contact with before, these guys could only be described as vulnerable.

certainly--

Maybe it's not that their opponents are too weak, but that they are now so strong that there is no one on this planet who can be their opponent.

Maybe this will be the last battle.

If we open a new expansion pack, I might have to go to another planet.

Pointing his index finger on the communicator next to his ear, [The Mole on the Run in the Canyon] shouted a charge cry into the communication channel.

"brothers--"

"Our brothers lurking in Vault 13 have risen up, it's time to send these rats to hell!"

"go ahead!!!"

The deafening sound penetrated the roar of the engine, and he was answered by shouts of equal excitement.

"kill--!!!"

…

"boom--!"

Vault 13.

At the same time as the gunfire rang out in the conference room, another gunshot rang out at the shelter's orbital transfer station.

Vault residents wearing exoskeletons held assault rifles in their hands and light blue identification strips tied to their arms. With the cooperation of lurking internal agents, they launched a surprise attack on the security forces stationed at the transportation hub.

As Zhuang Lan said, she has never fought alone, and has always fought side by side with a group of like-minded people.

Among them are not only the residents of Vault 404, but also residents from other Vaults, as well as deceived people who were deceived by the Enlightenment Society but finally woke up.
