The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Valley of Death (6)

The temperature rose steeper than expected. Operation was thus initiated early. The operational area of David's mission was the tip of the North Coast Mountains, reaching altitudes of over 1,400 meters, with the highest daytime temperatures of 109 degrees Fahrenheit and 43 degrees Celsius around the end of June.

This was due to the source of geothermal power generation, artificially increasing humidity by spraying groundwater boiling to more than 100 degrees. However, it was a land where hot steam naturally erupted. There was a terrible heat in every recessed valley. Using groundwater like this would dramatically reduce the development efficiency of the entire region over the long term, but at this time the United States did not have time to worry about it.

Winter felt a slight vibration. The monitor you were looking at flinches. It was an everyday earthquake in California, part of the Ring of Fire, the Pacific Pre-Term Region.

Lt. Murray, the intelligence officer, was shaky.

“This won't be a big earthquake, will it? ”

Winter shakes its head.

“Don't say anything ominous. ”

“I don't think it's a long shot. ”

“I mean, worrying doesn't solve anything. Focus on the situation. ”

Lieutenant Foster, a fellow officer of the military academy and Murray, gave me Pinzan.

“You seem pretty relaxed, huh? You watch too many movies, don't you? ”

“No... I can't say... ”

The California earthquake was a regular part of the Hollywood disaster film. Good movies are rare.

However, apart from the quality of the film, there is a reason why it is often made. Even here, it was the world's largest geothermal power complex, a land teeming with lava. To the east is Yellowstone National Park, the largest volcano in the world. The most likely candidate for the Apocalypse before the plague.

The handsome Lt. Murray soon noticed the change in the monitor as he pressed the headset.

“Commander, this is intel from Hunter Killer Drones. A group of enemies traveling along the Sulfur Valley has passed through Base Point X-ray 13 points. The Alpha Sack will plug in the Excalibur before you make contact with David 11. The target is Beta Grumble. ”

Excalibur was a laser-guided cannonball (M982) named after the sword, not a sword from legend. Shooting 35 miles (about 57km) makes it within a 20-meter radius of the target.

“How many rounds is that?...... I want you to leave it alone because it can defend itself. ”

The words of winter. Communications received just moments ago were unilateral.

“I'd like to make a request to Marigold, but I'm not sure it'll do any good. ”

The lieutenant swiftly taps the batsman. It was a fully computerized command system.

What a waste of a $30,000 cannonball. ’

This is at least half cheaper than before the plague. What worries me about winter is that you can't get it where you need it. Northbound, like Washington, Oregon. Their fight is a breath away from the operations that take place here.

Or you lose something when you really need it.

The United States is crazily draining resources without resources in the operation.

The image of beta grumbling on the screen was ugly. It's not supposed to look good, but what you're seeing right now is a half-melted skin. Yes, it was similar to the one I saw in Sequoia Forest. It was because I shot the pregnant babies that were suspended in winter....

“Ugly. Looks like he was spontaneously burned, too. ”

The poster's voice was slightly excited. It was a natural ignition, an acidic baby, and a vulnerability of newly discovered gliding and flammable hybrids. It explodes on its own at long exposure under direct sunlight. The exact cause is yet to be determined. May be due to increased body temperature or chemical instability due to lack of moisture.

But winter could not be as optimistic. It is because of the differentiation of the lineages. This meant that different reinforcement species could emerge from one variant. Although not necessarily stronger, the increase in variability itself was threatening.

I feel systematic killing in the past and other variabilities.

Murray announces changes.

“Enemies are spreading. You've captured the drone.”

The landscape in the monitor was heavily shaken. Grumbling splits open and throws the pregnant babies at the skin. They were reinforcing species that grew in the capsule between their arms and legs. When the giant monster is thrown high, it spreads its arms and legs to guide itself. It was the same principle as a wing suit.

Patriotism

Even within the magnifying face of the pixel splashing silence, the small mouths of ferocious babies gave a creepy sound to the viewer.

However, the drones simply dodged live high-speed projectors even though they were downgraded to the specifications of the Civil War. The outraged babies couldn't catch the exact time of the explosion. Meanwhile, the drone's infrared guided laser does not leave the trunk of the grumble.

Flashes. Excalibur crashes. An icy cloud erupts. It was like a small volcano. On the zoomed out screen, you see a giant head rising through the smoke.

The poster strokes the jagged chin.

“When I heard that" The Deadler "was reinforced and differentiated, I was frankly worried a lot…… but the flight just increased, so I can't be precise. Accuracy is poor for moving targets. ”

Deadly Toddler. However, there is also the story of whether separate codes are needed as they divide into acidity and flammability. Winter was still called an obstetrician.

“I don't know what's going to happen. ”

“Shouldn't we make sure there's no future? ”

“Taking back the mainland doesn't end the war. ”

This was what winter said in the memory of Russia. Zero ground on the Tibetan plateau where there is presumed to be a prototype of Mogelon. I'd rather cross Siberia to get there.

“Aren't you going to take off your uniform after the repatriation? ”

The revolting poster did not hide the appearance of surprise.

“Why do you think that is? ”

“That……. ”

“I don't know where I heard you, but there's a reason I can't quit this war. At least we'll fight until the victory is assured. ”

It seems that Foster has heard rumors about winter's political advancement.

“Hostile leader approaching the Stop Line. David 1 responds. ”

David 1, the battle for the Yura platoon begins. But the senior commander was the deputy commander out there. Winter felt strange looking at the monitors full of the situation room. Too much command for a medium-grade unit. By this time, it had to be fair to see the expansion of the troops in the future. The higher the ranks, the greater the share of rear command and communication than direct combat.

‘Is it natural to be awkward... …. I've never been up here... ’

It was also based on experience that he had previously anticipated that the Captain would be a practical promotion limit. As a combat troop, unless it is a Special Forces unit, there is no customs clearance to be put on site.

The future of winter was a confirmed senior commander in the Ministry of Defense and the White House. A regiment of refugees only, maybe a division of Satan ranks. And then there's politics. Even a frontline officer, Foster, would know something similar.

But not yet, not yet.

There is no guarantee that this operation will end easily in the first place.

There has been no major debate so far, and even the officers are in an optimistic mood.

Ta-da! Ta-da!

The valley echoes with a heavy machine gun fire. Here, the owner of the camera exhales violently. In the corner of the screen, the flashing name was the Elder Star.

Due to the nature of the sound, the gunfire was much brighter than being heard up close. In the trenches where vehicles in the walls were dug in, the humvees of the Yura platoon were pouring their crucifixion onto the dead slopes. The mines in that direction were consumed instantly.

There were so many variants coming and going. Head for the antenna on the ridge.

A large group without any subject to exert command just climbs up the slopes into a daze. The road was first paved with the bodies of dead mutants. The green-skinned, desolate land was contaminated with the roughly dead blood and spoiled animal oil. In fact, this was where the stench of the corpse came in. Even after incinerating through the breach of no attack.

The ascent covered in carbonated corpses was once again covered with corpses. The land of death that was intertwined with layers was a filthy swamp consisting of head, body, arms and legs and various intestines. As soon as the laser firing system started, a walking plague caught fire.

Queek!

Scream breaks in no time. Invisible, or faint rays of dust scattering, scratched across the plague's ranks. More than thirty variants were burned with a single examination.

Although it did not burn for long, it did not have to be oiled until it was definitely dead. Those in agony grabbed the ankles of the same strain. A corpse landslide occurred on a poor terrain made up of postmortem stiffness. Burned and burned corpses and unburned corpses drip down in unison. It was a hell of a view.

Those of you who can't stand up again will die if you let them. The summer sun in the dry sky was the radiance of burning death all day long. There was still a long day left.

Since the beginning of the operation, the number of variants the Sun has killed may even surpass the number of U.S. Soldiers killed.

The plague was difficult to adapt to the deadly season. Not long ago, I heard that a Ranger discovered a trickster that had turned into a bag. Brain cells ripened in intense heat. I wish I had let it go, but it's because Humans who insist on fighting have gone above and beyond the limit.

Those subjects were captured for the study.

The communicator turns to winter.

“Commander, this is dispatch. A small group of troops from the Great Lakes Buddha are approaching Base Calphine 5. ”

Carlpine 5 is the location of the geothermal power plant, just like the idlin here, and was also stationed with a medium-grade mission unit with a signal.

“The Great Lakes Award? ”

This means no affiliation. The communicator nods at the slightest frown of winter.

“Yes sir. It is presumed to be a group of Stragglers in an apparent liberation operation. For their safety, Calpines 5, 6 and 7 will stop firing decoy beacons for the next two hours. ”

There are no threatening variants in satellite surveillance. If the signal stops, the base or approaching forces don't seem to be in any danger.

“Wouldn't it be better to lead in a different direction? ”

Muttering winter. The battle is not yet over, but it is a one-sided slaughter. Winter handed over the tablet from the intelligence officer. There should be more information on the network.

‘No response…… OK. ’

Unresponsive to all communications from Marigold. It can be enough. If you don't have any equipment, such as a radio, or if you lose your solar charger even if you do. After all, the troops in the aerial photograph were exhausted and humble allies. A small but mixed procession of vehicles. It means to maintain a minimal bias.

It's been a long time since survivors like this joined together. I don't think this is gonna help the operation. Choppers will be here any minute. I can't even ask you to go to another Node in this weather.

The battle is finally over. No casualties. Even the most vulnerable of the Yura platoon's defenses were 200 meters steep uphill. A few layers of railing, summer, and half of the mutants did not make it through.

“Commander, why don't you close your eyes for a moment? ”

Foster recommended a break.

“The hardest part is night combat. Lieutenant Murray and I will take over. ”

The X.O. is now in first platoon position.

The recommended winter looked at the map of the situation being updated in real time. It's been going so well lately, I'm more worried. I can't be relieved that my experience is an experience. As I had already felt from the plague and the variability of the world, there seemed to be some transcendent malice.

‘It's not something to worry about...' ’

That's what I said to myself just now. The bitterly smiling winter said yes.

“Then please. I'll be at your place, so let me know if you need anything. ”

“Very well. Rest well. ”

The atmosphere of the Situation Room was relaxed. Winter could not require them to have the same level of tension as themselves. What do you expect to happen to Zilta once or twice a day, with no promise or endlessness?

Meow!

I hear a kitty crying somewhere. After that, you see the dog running in a huff and puff. A wild cat has settled in the lost people power plant, and a dog with the king's name has been chasing cats for a long day. The cooling in dogs, cats, or facilities is so good that they run tirelessly.

The poster glances at you and claps his hands. Oh, man!

“Come on, your highness! ”

Eggs!

“ ……. ”

A man barked and a dog barked. After hearing the call, Daxhund turns the corner and falls. But I stood up and slapped my tail to winter, circled my elbow, and ran to the Operations Officer who loves me.

Winter shook her head and left the situation room.
