Chapter 256 Atlas’ casualties


Chapter 256 Atlas’ casualties

The sewage ‘flood peak’ quickly rushed through this pipe.

When the water level dropped back to its previous height, the members of the special operations team who were huddled beside the inner wall of the pipe slowly stood up.

The first thing Baninger did after he regained consciousness was to double confirm that all the team members were there through the terminal and counting.

In the emergency situation just now, the fixing bolts driven into everyone's feet were very stable, and there were safety ropes connected to teammates, so no one was swept away.

"Fuck, can I still wear this exoskeleton after I go out?"

A team member pushed aside the rotten vegetable leaves and some garbage hanging on the exoskeleton, and said with some disgust.

Obviously, the sewage in the sewer is not a clean thing. All the urban garbage you can imagine is in this water.

Right now, no one dares to turn off the closed internal circulation mode of the combat exoskeleton, let alone turn on the tactical visor.

Not to mention poisoning, the smell would probably kill people.

"These are things that have just been equipped. If they are not damaged, please ask the people from the chemical prevention and disinfection team to help wash them."

"I'm afraid that the people from the disinfection team will be suffocated to death"< br>
"Hahahaha, don't tell me it's really possible."

While the team members were removing the fixing bolts, you and I started chatting. Originally, because of the 'flood', The tense atmosphere was quickly broken.

Exploring in a closed and dark underground sewage pipe is a task that requires great psychological quality.

After all, it is impossible to install lighting facilities in these pipes, and in order to ensure the stealth of the infiltration operation, you cannot leave with a light, so what everyone can see is the tactical visor, and the full-color night vision device captures the images within the range.

Beyond this distance, it is still pitch black.

At the same time, since the silent mode has been maintained and real-time navigation is not possible, everyone can only use the traditional map + checkpoint mode to explore and move forward.

“When we get to checkpoint 6, we will find a fork. After entering, there is a large manhole cover leading to the ground for us to get out, and the location is also in a remote alley.”

“Brother, I’m worried now that if we go out, the imperial guys will smell us and get caught.”

Everyone laughed again, then checked their equipment and prepared to move on.

“Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak.”

Hearing a rodent cry captured by the exoskeleton’s pickup, Baninger lowered his head and looked at his right arm.

I saw a soaked rat clinging to the outer armor plate of its arm and shivering.

Obviously, during the sewage impact just now, this lucky sewer rat managed to avoid being washed away by the sewage by grabbing Baninger's exoskeleton.

"Hey~ Lieutenant, do you have something extra here?"

"A mouse."

Baninger smiled and caught the mouse, which was in his hand He struggled wildly and screamed even more fiercely.

He looked around and finally placed the mouse on a wooden board floating on the water.

"Good luck, little one."

Baninger picked up the electromagnetic rifle again, and then looked around at his teammates behind him.

"Wish us good luck, too."

——

As the special operations team of the Atlas Instruction Team continued through the sewer network towards Ptolemaic City while internal penetration.

Amber was also in the forward camp, seeing off Sam, the administrative adjutant of the Rubian System Autonomous Government.

After watching the armored vehicle carrying the administrative adjutant leave the camp under the escort of Rubian garrison, Amber returned to his lounge.

"Lilith, where is the Hermes now?"

"Report Master, the Hermes has returned to the geostationary orbit, right above our heads. "

"Establish an encrypted communication line and pick up Isabel. Is she not sleeping now? "

"No, Master, Ms. Isabel is currently learning "How to Please Your Partner 108". ”

"."

When the encrypted communication was established, looking at Amber in the communication interface, Isabel's face instantly showed a hint of shyness.

“What are you looking at again?”

“Nothing! I was just looking at the documents of the intelligence analysis team.”

“What? What is your intelligence analysis team going to get? Are you gossiping? Is your face so red?”

Looking at Isabel's shy expression, Amber couldn't help but laugh. "No! I'm reading serious documents?"

"Oh?"

Amber smiled, just ready to tease this person again. It's been so many days. When I saw the Persian cat, I heard Lilith's voice ringing in my ears, with a hint of displeasure and jealousy in her tone.

“Master, you asked me to establish an encrypted communication just to flirt with Ms. Isabel?”

"Ahem."

Amber, who was complained by the strong artificial intelligence, coughed to hide his embarrassment, and then continued:

"To get down to business, Rubion's administrative adjutant just left the advanced camp. Left. "

"Oh? So why did he come here to ask for trouble?" Isabel also managed her expression again and returned to her normal state.

“First of all, let’s talk about Benjamin and Ralph, but mainly we want Atlas to invest more in Rubion 5.”

"Increase investment? It seems that they have little confidence in their own garrison, as well as other private military companies and defense contractors that have won bids."

"You look at these people, I I’m not confident either.” Thinking of the performance of these friendly forces on the battlefield, Amber couldn’t help but shake her head.

“So you agreed?”

“Of course, why not make money if you have money? The ATT squadron is going to be put into combat testing anyway, so I took the opportunity to increase the price.

Then I divided two combat control teams to go to the other two continents to help the troops there guide orbital strikes, so the Hermes should be busy next.”

"That's something that should give Cliffs a headache~" Isabel chuckled.

Amber was also amused by her appearance. She shook her head and continued:

“Increased investment also means that we will have more opportunities to deal with the Lubion system government in the future. Therefore, I hope that the intelligence analysis team will focus on the direction of intelligence collection in the near future, and put it on the Lubian Galaxy Autonomous Government. It is best to collect more black materials and the like for future operations."

"So, Amber, are you ready to operate in the Rubian galaxy for a long time?”

“Yes, this galaxy is very suitable for the development of Atlas in terms of location and political ecology, and the end of Rubian 5 After the battle, we can naturally carry out the next step of infiltration in the post-war reconstruction.”

"Understood, I will let the intelligence analysis team start working on this. Is there anything else you need my help with?"

Isabel added a new item to her to-do list, and then continued asked.

“There is really something about the casualties of the ground troops in this battle.”

Amber asked Lilith to call up the casualty report compiled by the brigade headquarters, and while transmitting it to Isabel, she said:

“We will skip the losses of equipment and vehicles for the time being. Anyway, after Atlas Industries started mass production of several new equipment, they began to replace them one after another, so the main casualties were casualties. This piece.”

At this point, Amber's tone began to become a little distressed.

“So far, a total of 28 of our ground troops on Rubion 5 have been killed, including 21 motorized infantry, 6 vehicle crew members, and 1 HCP pilot.

More than 200 people were injured in the battle, but most of them were minor injuries. Three seriously injured people were lying in the life-support cabin. Fortunately, the Roma people have better physical fitness and recovery ability. The military doctor said that they were in the life-support cabin. You can go to the ground after lying in the birth cabin for a week."

In a real war, no matter how great the advantages of personnel and equipment are, as long as it reaches the scale of 'war', the level of force of both sides is not that At the level of a 'village brawl', casualties are inevitable.

Although Amber knew that "clearing the level without taking any damage" could only happen in the game, he was like most RTS players, and he would feel distressed for a long time if a soldier under his command died.

Not to mention a living life in reality.

Among the 28 people killed, except for the HCP pilot and 2 crew members, the remaining 26 were recruited Roma.

Being 'unparalleled in mowing' among the enemies without any psychological burden at all does not affect Amber's sadness because her soldiers were killed in battle.

Of course, he also knew the principle of 'kindness does not command troops', so this sadness did not last long, and it would not affect Amber's determination to fight the next tough battle in the city.

Perhaps after a while, when I look at the death list again, I might drag it to the bottom to see the total number of casualties?

"The casualty situation is probably like this. Isa, please inform the staff at the Tower of Babel to start the pension process for the fallen soldiers. Strictly follow the regulations and show more care to the families of these Roma people.

This item The work must not be sloppy, both Roma and humans must do it well.

Since they are willing to join Atlas and work hard, we cannot let them have worries in this regard.
< br>If anyone dares to make trouble for me in this link, or even commits theft of pensions or corruption, I will kill them all. Well, let me convey the last sentence in its original words. ”< br>
“Don’t worry Amber, I will take care of this.”

Isabel also felt Amber's emotional changes, so she replied seriously.

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said:

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Mr. Perseus is almost 10 We will arrive at Rubion 5 in a standard day. Will you have time to see him then?"

"About 10 days. The battle in Ptolemaic City will probably be over by then. After Mr. Perseus comes over, we can give him some 'gifts.'"
