The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Sunrise, or dusk (9)

Attempts to sever the neural net with firing and bombardment have literally returned to failure. As a result of the excavation of the bomb site, soldiers had no use for shells burning on the surface, and only a few types of airborne bombs performed unexpectedly.

It would have been better if the destruction targets were artificial structures. It was difficult to wish for extensive damage due to vibration against strong, flexible living tissue.

Strange things were noticed during the performance check. It was like a heart hanging like a lump root in the middle of a neural network. It would have been a way to circulate fluid to widespread neural networks. Winter thought there might be a mass of autonomic nervous system independent of the body somewhere in this neural network. Some insects have multiple brainstem sites in their bodies.

As soon as this happened, first-line officers pulled the field generator (MEP802A) as a contingent. A jumper wire (booster cable) was placed on the bundle of nerves and the current of the maximum voltage was spilled.

This was the best thing to do right now, but the extent to which neurological damage occurred was not very broad. The cold, damp soil beneath the frozen topsoil guaranteed a solid shock within a certain radius, but this is because the farther the distance, the wider the current spread.

Chairman Caphraov has finished his tastes.

At this rate, it would be enough to cut the inside of the defense line all the time.

However, it is also difficult to bring down nuclear aircraft to the altitude at which the cable reaches. The air artillery must be dedicated to observation and fire support at all times.

One of the chief of staff offered.

Why don't you ask your country for a neuroagonist?

It was a bio-weapon.

Winter was a proposal that lacked realism.

Do you really think he's gonna get a permit? ’

Given the absurd adaptability of mutants, the use of biochemical weapons is always a matter of caution. Obtaining permission won't be easy.

And even if the permits came out, the mission forces at this point did not have chemical weapons. It will take about a full day's transportation from the mainland storage facility to zero ground here.

Dr. from the CDC, who was attending the meeting as an advisor, was frightened by the proposal of the chief of staff.

Absolutely not. If you administer a neurotoxin locally to a large nervous system like that, at some point, it will inevitably flow at concentrations below the death toll. On the other hand, the number of variants exposed will be high, so it's a good condition for toxin-resistant variants to emerge.

Spoken like a rapid-fire, he breathes and warns.

"Like mustard amber, there can be monsters that use it as a weapon. The whole of Eurasia will turn into a land that cannot be inhabited.

Specialized variants in which the identification code was made up of two words, namely variants that caused biochemical contamination other than necrotoxin, are still only two of the Anthrax Lodge and the Mustard Amber. At least Anslox Rosie was almost eliminated.

Lt. Gen. Rogers put it together in one word:

"Yes."

Wouldn't that be what winter thought? It would have been worthless from the start.

The bad news didn't stop here.

Variants are drifting on a large scale from the river upstream to the west and east.

Lt. Gen. Rogers shared footage of an unmanned attack. In infrared photographs, upstream riverbanks were flooding with countless sources of heat over tens of kilometers. Occasionally, lightning pours down on their heads. Mutants do not rejoice in spilling death. The waterfront is covered with corpses.

Similar scenes were repeated every time the screen changed. It meant that it was happening simultaneously at various points.

The general was flattened.

It seems that the number of variants we will be dealing with will be a little larger than expected.

Originally, I expected a scale of up to 100,000. If there's more here, how far do I have to look? 150,000? 200,000? Although this side's firepower is overwhelming, it is an overwhelming number to deal with in the rolling terrain.

Winter had doubts.

‘Even if you are resistant to the cold, not all those mutants can swim. ’

Swimming for mediocre variants is a delicate exercise.

‘Are other variants extracted downstream……. ’

As far as I could tell, there was no other way to stop the mutants. However, the rivers around here were at least 50 meters wide, so there would have been considerable losses in the recovery process. The runaways will struggle and drown at the point where metabolic inhibition reaches its limit.

On the contrary, it means that you are willing to bite down on this side after suffering such a loss. They were desperate, just like Esther said.

This is a lesson that must have been engraved by the Mission Forces of the Free Fortress. Once Humans have established their seriousness, it is unlikely that any variant will be able to penetrate it even after consuming it. As Esther pointed out, the cunning ones firmly misjudged the intent of Rogers' joint task force. It was also understandable to rush the power focus.

A thorough precaution is poisoned. Ironic.

In turn, it was also reported that specialized varieties based on Keksik are approaching with speed behind common variants. The unique elongated arms and legs could be easily identified by an infrared screen.

As a result, the time remaining until the leader of the mutant group entered the regime suddenly decreased to less than half.

Strange. No matter how urgent they are, they won't attack me.

General Caphraov's words made him cynical.

It would be welcome, but it can't be stupid enough to waste important power like that.

The power of specialized variants is only maximized when accompanied by large groups. Even if each individual is particularly powerful, if they do not disperse their firepower here, they will die.

"Bonamana's intention is to consume this side's stamina and ammunition before the actual attack……. Or being prepared to attack as soon as a follow-up group arrives. Like a trench boat. I bet South America had a lot of fun with that.

With the power of a special breed that specializes in combat, even winter soil will be excavated in an instant.

You're pretty confident in one thing. With the intelligence of the people behind it, you'd have noticed by the time we were ambushed by Pinpoint, we were reading all of their movements.

"On the contrary, you are also confident to read our movements. Without it, there's no way to put important power at risk alone.

Is that neural network to be damned as well.

The end of the quick exchange of opinions converged with the hypothesis that came to mind as winter passed. If the divergent neural network combines sensory organs that feel beyond a simple signaling system to changes in vibration or pressure, then variants can also explain their confidence.

It was not just winter that I reached this speculation.

Brusilov, commander of the 217th regiment, said in an uncomfortable manner.

If that is true, we will not be able to defend against maneuvers. Because if the maneuvers were limited and surrounded by those idiots, the armored cars and the garage would be inevitable.

At the heart of Zero Ground, the old Chinese military's ballistic base was located inside a canyon that dug into the foothills. To ensure topographical protection against nuclear attacks. So part of the boundary that Rogers' joint task force had built was caught in a curved ridge in the area.

These ridges are full of Bondi Forest and are no match for the armored forces. However, due to the devastation of the mountain ranges over the past year, at least near zero ground, the operation of the armored vehicles has been fairly undisturbed. There are no obstacles to obstructing the trajectory of the loader, except for the rare remnants of the tree base.

And that was the limit. Destroying old forests to free driving is never easy. Therefore, the way out of here was surprisingly limited, given the ability of lightweight air armored vehicles to crunch. The more obstacles, the shorter the range.

Armor didn't make it to the first mountain war. Only because of their excellent firepower, defense and psychological stability to the soldiers, they were chosen as the main force of their mission if they stuck to the line of defense while dragging time.

Winter offered.

“Let's try to lure them back to the station again. ”

General Rogers asked.

How it works.

“Assuming the neural net is some kind of sensory machinery, we won't be able to detect foot soldiers' movements while the incessant bombing and firing continues. and the depth of the neural network. ”

Winter reminds me of spiders. Spiders detect the prey caught in their homes with a string of vibrations, but they don't even notice the little prey caught like a moth on a rainy day. Unless I see it with my own eyes or smell it.

How about using your armor as bait to trick the enemy and then putting an infantry on their backs?

“Yes.”

Armor is also armoured, but the infantry's risk is too great.

It is only a guess that Dobo-dong will be concealed. Just an optimistic expectation could have driven many people to the extremities.

How many intermediate troops are you still willing to try? Even if it fails, salvation is possible, and even if it doesn't, we can quickly shrink the defense line and survive.

Colonel Brusilov empowered the opinion of the winter.

All that remains is ignorance. That was the original plan, but since we're in a position to deal with a lot more enemies than we originally thought...... it would be helpful to reduce the number of Specialty Variants before the full-scale consumption starts.

The atmosphere was positive. However, the decision was not immediately made. Most importantly, it was also the protection of the ammo base search site.

"Good"

Commander Rogers nods slowly.

Let's have a look at the game. So far, I don't know what other variables will be added.

Better to make a profit when the opportunity arises. That's what I said.

The tension in the Video Conference went up slightly.

The role distribution was also bold as time was running out at this moment. Somewhat lacking judgment, but sometimes better than late. This was the case. Anyway, we still have time until the mutants get through.

The Independence also decided to export a squadron.

Winter after the Video Conference briefed the Grand Chamberlain on the overview of the trap. Operation Officer Poster expressed concern at the end of the briefing. It was because winter told me to go with the foot soldiers.

“Sir. No matter how dangerous the mission may be, do you need to step up?" ”

Major Sing was also involved.

“I'd rather go. At least the soldiers won't blame the headquarters. ”

Winter seems to have determined that the soldiers' psychological intentions are to lead the striking party directly.

‘Obviously, trust is still reassuring. ’

Each squadron was well trained and had good practical experience. However, despite having been breathing as one generation for the past year, there was still a sense of inferiority and distance based on the ingredients of origin. It was more of an invisible hierarchy.

In short, what winter most trusts are the old Independents.

To be honest, it was also true. I don't mean favoritism on purpose, but that's the difference in actual combat power. Difference is inevitable because the practice experienced is different.

In the same context, Winter chose Charlie's troops in strikes because in the same case, it decided that it would not be dangerous to get to the ammunition base as long as Alpha troops adhered to the defense line. Winter was no different from any other officer, considering base search protection as a top priority.

So if Charlie's troops are hit hard here, it's easy to make bad noises under the water. Bravo, Delta Force.

The best way to stop it, that is, the surest way to demonstrate trust, is to take the risk with Winter itself, who is also in charge.

Armored apes to command Captain Charlie also welcome participation in the winter.
