The shepherd climbed onto the monitoring buoy in the ocean. Now he was not wearing armor, just the most ordinary combat uniform and jumping device.
It is this kind of weight that will prevent the buoy from sinking significantly, thus attracting inspections from the troops stationed on the coast.
As a newly recruited member of Task Force 141, Shepherd completed a series of combat training and achieved qualified results before being allowed to participate in this operation.
Shepherd's responsibility is frontline reconnaissance, but Holt is different. He is responsible for rear data stabilization and providing drone fire support.
This division of duties and responsibilities stems from the characteristics of each of them. Shepherd is a typical soldier who will complete all assigned tasks. Holt is an excellent intelligence and data deciphering expert and drone expert.
Of course, only new recruits like them will be assigned clear job responsibilities. As long as they are fully accepted by the task force and become transformed super soldiers, there will be no such distinction.
By that time, their fighting methods will also undergo earth-shaking changes.
Holt provided the shepherd with surrounding monitoring data, and the two chatted boredly on the channel.
Holt said: "Do you think this is another test? Just like on the space elevator."
The shepherd shook off the water droplets on his body, and the magic engraved on the combat uniform took effect instantly, making the entire suit extremely dry.
After touching the clothes, the shepherd did not notice any thermal energy reaction on them and could only understand it as unreasonable magical power.
The front-line reconnaissance shepherd was not as relaxed as Holt. He raised his handheld telescope to observe and photograph the situation in the distance.
In the distance are continuous steel domes and steel cages that surround the entire city. Outside is the military control dock, with soldiers with guns constantly patrolling back and forth. Searchlights constantly illuminate the surrounding area, leaving almost no blind spots.
But people on land never imagined that someone would lie on the buoy and observe them.
After confirming the data return, Shepherd slowly replied to Holt in the channel.
Shepherd said: "Didn't you read the details? That kind of test only happens once in a person's life, just like the pilot's simulation training. After everyone is judged to be qualified, it is a harmless joke."
"But it's too real. I would like to know how Sam found out that that world is false!"
Sam Fisher, the legendary legend, the shepherd was also curious, but he knew he couldn't take the initiative to ask.
Holt also realized that his words were meant to spy on intelligence, so he forcefully changed the subject and asked: "What kind of existence is the Pilot? We are the only super combat troops of the Administration now. I thought it was just the 141st Special Forces."
The confidentiality of the detachment is already high enough, Shepherd, you must know it, right? After all, you have received training in jumping equipment!"
Shepherd has already demonstrated his ability to slide on walls during testing. The jumping equipment allows him to ignore terrain and space and appear among enemies in unexpected ways.
But Shepherd's performance was not good, and he needed Holt to throw smoke bombs for him to block the enemy's vision.
"Pilots are the top predators. No! We can't say they are hunters. That's the title of the APEX season champion. Every action of Pilots uses personal power to open a path for the legion. They are the top
exist."
Just these few words made Holt fascinated, and he said: "It would be great if I could compete with them on the same stage! Even if I could experience it in the infiltration equipment..."
However, the shepherd chuckled, and the laughter was full of helplessness and exclamation.
Holt didn't know why and said, "What's wrong?"
Shepherd asked: "We are from the same world as Rainbow Team. What do you think of Rainbow Team's level?"
After thinking carefully, Holt said: "Although the Rainbow Team is now competing in the Apex competition, they are still at the T1 level. The two sides have different focuses. If the Ghost Team faces the Rainbow Team, indoor CQB and city battle, they will win. Out.
If we win the city, we win.”
"Yes! It is such a combat force. The APEX competition, which brings together combat forces of the same level from all worlds, is actually a peaceful battlefield for all worlds, a military confrontation with the permission of the Space and Time Administration."
"But do you know what a fighter like this looks like in front of a pilot? The only public content I saw during the jumping device training was the pilot's head-on killing demonstration of the jumping device. And the opponent was
The multi-world joint combat force that won the championship in the Apex competition. Rainbow Team appeared among them. In that game, all destructive weapons and tactical equipment were allowed to be used. But the Pilot only had jumping equipment, and he didn't even take out his own pistol!
"
"He first knocked out an unlucky guy, seized the weapon, and then began to carry out one-sided killings throughout the entire arena. He used his jumping device to skillfully slide on the wall, accurately dodging every line of gunfire. He appeared in a position you didn't expect.
, use your own weapon to kill you. He is so familiar with every weapon that he can't even finish the ammunition in the magazine."
"That was a real battle royale! Let's escape and the Pilot will kill!"
The shepherd's words revealed helplessness and longing, he also wanted to be like that.
The Pilots have been powerful for a long time, and they are the pinnacle of the technological force of the Space-Time Administration. In terms of their own body modifications six hundred years later, coupled with various enhancements from the Space-Time Administration, they are no longer physically described as human beings.
.
Not to mention the Titans that can perform neural links, the current Titans are the only super battle weapons besides the Admiral Barron that are entirely made of orichalcum and then covered with an adamantine coating.
Pilots and Titans are the strongest equipment of the Space-Time Administration.
Chapters such as Task Force 141 only issue recruitment announcements for their favorite candidates. There are some clues that can be traced, but the pilots have not made their selection public yet.
That is a real ghost army.
Three helicopters flew over the sea at low altitude, their searchlights and radars constantly scanning everything around them.
The shepherd grabbed the buoy in the sea and sank into the sea one step ahead, avoiding the helicopter's detection.
'CELL 5, this is Hunter 3. Please note, we have detected rebels passing through the 33rd Medical Team on the west side of the dome. It's probably okay? But please stay calm. That bastard is a dangerous man.
.complete.'
The helicopter's communication channel conveyed the panic of the people above, and this was heard by Holt and Shepherd, who had already been fully monitored.
"They're here."
The shepherd stuffed a small ball of seaweed that looked like countless slippery gray rat tails into his mouth, held it in his mouth without swallowing it, and said vaguely: "I will sneak in from under the sea, and you will inform your superiors according to the predetermined procedure."
"Understood. I'll be there soon, over."
Holt's voice disappeared from the channel between the two of them. The shepherd endured the greasy taste like octopus tentacles in his mouth, and didn't want to chew at all, so he swallowed it hard.
Gillweed is a magical plant that can make people grow gills on their cheeks and webs between their hands and feet.
As long as you know the dosage of gillyweed, you can accurately control the time of deformation.
The shepherd's mouthful allowed him to maintain his transformation for at most half an hour, enough for him to use the cover of the ocean from the coastal buoy to reach the dock.
Even if there is sonar monitoring under the sea, with the flexibility and speed of a fish and no metal signal, he will not be regarded as a frogman at all.
Under the warning from the helicopter, the dock quickly conducted a self-inspection. No enemies were found, so they gradually relaxed their vigilance.
'Hunter 3, no one is sneaking in here tonight. Over.'
The soldiers at the dock responded, causing the shepherds who had just landed to shake their heads in disappointment. It seemed that the combat effectiveness of these guards was not strong. After receiving the warning, they should gather the troops to start a comprehensive inspection. Why did they let everyone disperse for inspection? After the inspection, they did not gather for confirmation.
Do you think the enemy does not exist because of the number of people?
"Even the security work is so lax, no wonder the world is about to be destroyed."
Hiding at the edge of the shadows, the shepherd saw the helicopter leaving and expressed regret for the fate of these soldiers.
The helicopter serves as an aerial platform, and before it leaves, the guards here will have immediate fire support.
When the helicopter leaves, it means the enemy is about to attack.
The soldier in the dock's cargo hold staggered towards the seaside. Behind him were his colleagues, and further away were searchlights and heavy machine guns.
The soldier thought he would be fine, after all, he had teammates.
What a coincidence, his teammates thought the same way.
The teammate behind him had turned around at some point and started talking to the people upstairs, and no one was stationed at the heavy machine gun. Who would be willing to stand stupidly next to the hot searchlight.
As he walked past the container, the soldier received a hard punch on his right upper abdomen, which caused sudden pain in his liver area. He couldn't even scream and collapsed on the ground.
The person who attacked him didn't hold back and just broke his cervical vertebrae on the spot.
The attacker looked like a soldier from the face, and with his hairless bald head, he was the most dazzling guy under the lights of the dock.
After the bald man killed the sentry, he waved his hand behind him, and two guys climbed up from under the cement pier. One of them looked back to guard, and the other followed the bald man.
The three men armed themselves with weapons and cooperated with the assault, and the sound of silenced gunfire was hidden in the noisy dock.
These three people had a plan and a goal, and they searched for a protected container.
Another voice came from the dock soldier's channel, 'Call R team, the hardware can be evacuated, bring it back. Over.'
With his bald hand on his headset that didn't seem to work very well, he also eavesdropped on the communication channel at the dock.
Just after saying this, the bald man signaled an attack to his companions and walked out with his gun in hand.
He casually killed the soldiers next to the container, and looked at the container in front of him with mixed feelings.
This may not be called a container. It is a weight-shaped vessel with sharp edges and corners, with multiple cables plugged into both sides. It is unclear whether it is for energy supply or extraction.
The bald man stood in front of the container and saw the guy inside from the staggered transparent glass above.
It was a humanoid object with exposed black muscles, and its whole body was wrapped in restraints. Under the blue light in the container, only the slight rise and fall of the chest caused by breathing could tell that he was still alive.
Baldhead placed a decoder on the switch and walked away quickly.
As the decoder ran, the entire container was opened, and the people inside kept twisting their bodies, as if fighting against restraints.
Suddenly the blue light of the container went out, and he stopped struggling.
One of the people on guard outside approached him tentatively, wanting to check on his condition.
The moment he got closer, the person inside broke through the ice in front of him, reached out and picked up the guy in front of him by his neck.
This guy was more than two meters tall, and he walked down while holding someone in one hand.
"Oh oh oh! Relax! Friendly army, do you remember Friendly army!"
The bald man quickly walked over from the side with his hands raised, indicating that he was not a threat and at the same time constantly emphasizing his identity.
At this time, the full picture of the humanoid creature using the person in its hand as a shield was really revealed to everyone.
The black muscles that I just thought are actually the reinforced muscle system of the clothing. They are similar to the human muscle system and are connected to the metal on the chest, crotch and back of the clothing. The head is composed of a matte metal helmet, and the face is
Red goggles integrated with the unknown system above.
This is an unusual humanoid muscle armor suit.
After seeing the identity of the bald man, the humanoid creature dropped the hostage in his hand and asked doubtfully: "Psycho? Where is your nanobiological costume?"
Psycho glanced at the ground, as if covering up his pain, and then said nonchalantly: "CELL peeled off my skin, and peeled off the skins of everyone outside. You are the last one, and now the focus is on your biochemical suit.
Got it!"
The humanoid creature picked up the person who was lying on the ground, looked at the bald Psycho, and asked: "How many of you are here?"
Xike pointed his finger and said: "With just the three of us, humanity is about to be destroyed, and our resistance army can't spare many people at all!"
"Three!"
The humanoid creature looked not far away, where lay the shepherd recording everything.
'Oops!'
Shepherd took off the electromagnetic smoke grenade from his waist. To deal with the nanobiological suit, electromagnetic pulses and electrostatic particles are needed, which can overload the reverse current heat exchanger and temporarily paralyze it.
Although the paralysis time was measured in milliseconds, it was enough for the shepherd to jump into the sea and escape.
However, as soon as the shepherd took off the grenade, he lost track of the humanoid creature and disappeared.
"I finally know how annoying I am when I put on the invisibility suit!"
Complaining in his mind that the enemy would become invisible, the Shepherd directly threw the electromagnetic smoke grenade into the ground.
However, before the grenade hit the ground, and even before the safety spring on the grenade had time to pop open, one hand pinched it firmly.
The humanoid creature grabbed the grenade and threw it into the distant ocean, and a ball of blue electromagnetic smoke suddenly exploded.
"Targeted weapons!"
Facing this kind of enemy, the humanoid creature directly punched the shepherd who was about to escape.
If you don't hold back, holding hands at this time would be cruel to yourself. As soldiers, how could they not understand?
And this punch went straight to the shepherd's spine. Broken muscles and bones would be the most merciful prisoner.
‘Tum~’
With a dull impact, the humanoid creature's fist was caught.
‘Soap’ McTavish appeared behind Shepherd and took the punch for him.
And Soap's current height of 2.5 meters is only one head taller than him in front of the humanoid creature.
"You just woke up so angry? What do you want me to call you? Prophet? Barnes Lawrence, or Alcatraz in USS Armed Reconnaissance Team O1?"
