Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 123 Flood Demon (9)

He rushed towards the control panel and pressed the buttons haphazardly - but there was no movement at all.

The Master Chief looked up and found that the elevator had been destroyed, with only the remaining glass-like material hanging on the edge of the wall.

Where is Cortana when you need her? She would always say to him: Go through that door, Walk across that bridge, or Climb that pyramid. Although it is annoying sometimes, now I think about it and I feel safe.

Now the only option is to go back the way we came and find another way out. He quickly loaded his shotgun and was on his way. The Chief ran as fast as he could—a life-or-death escape.

Bullets whizzed between the metal walls, plasma beams shuttled through the air, and plasma grenades exploded one after another. After passing through the dizzying underground rooms and walkways like a whirlwind, the Master Chief finally found another elevator leading to the ground. .

The disgusting-smelling monster sprang toward him. As he fought back, he tapped the control panel cautiously - lest the elevator would suddenly take him deeper into the building. Finally, he felt the elevator vibrate and quickly climbed up.

The noisy gunshots and roars seemed to be mixed with some human shouts, which sounded like they were calling him. The Chief pulled the reloading pump of the shotgun, inserted the muzzle of the gun into the belly of the monster in front of him, and then shot it to pieces.

He wondered if he was frightened by the monster and had hallucinations, because this situation was almost impossible to happen, and no one could survive such a monster attack. Even if Tommy, Keith and their group could survive, they should have left here long ago.

As the elevator ascended, the anxious voice of Enemy Buster suddenly broke the silence of the communication system.

This is E419. Master Chief, is that you? I lost your signal after you disappeared into the building. What happened down there? I'm scanning the entire area for movement.

You won't believe it. We'll talk about what happened here later. The Master Chief replied, his voice extremely cold. Did you meet the two colonels up there? They may have escaped.

No, I didn't even see a ghost, Nemesis replied, You need to come out quickly, Master Chief, I have a very bad feeling about it.

The elevator stopped abruptly, and the Master Chief stepped out disappointedly to find himself among a group of Marines. Not the rickety fighting monster he had just fought endlessly against, but a normal, healthy human being.

It feels so good.

Nice to meet you, Master Chief, a corporal said.

The Chief interrupted the Corporal, No time for politeness, Private. Report to me.

Combat deployment time: +154 hours, 48 ​​minutes and 32 seconds (Colonel Price’s mission clock)

This feeling of being speechless was so bad that at that moment Tommy felt that he felt the same as Rika. They were locked in this room, watching helplessly as the Master Chief fought his way out of the massive Flood, and then took the nearby elevator to escape back to the ground.

Damn it, my hands hurt from slapping them! Rebecca complained dissatisfied. She had just experienced a life-and-death struggle with the door in front of her, but the sound she made was not enough to attract the attention of the Master Chief who was fleeing for life and death. That guy is really stupid, he can't even hear it!

Tommy tapped her helmet twice, and then asked Ellie: How long? 】

[Hurry up, give it to me again.] Ellie said very slowly, and just when Tommy thought there was no hope for them to catch up with the Master Chief, [Open! 】

The door in front of them slid open to the sides, and Avery yelled to the Marines surrounding him, It's time to go, boys!

The combat-type Floods that the Master Chief had not cleaned up all looked at them.

Combat deployment time: +60 hours, 31 minutes and 23 seconds (mission clock of fleet commander Captain Laurey)

Pelican troop carrier E419, above the Covenant weapons depot.

Through the thick fog, Laurel saw a strange tower-shaped building. Its base is circular, with semicircular protrusions extending from its edges. Two wing-shaped platforms extend from the tower above. The purpose of this platform is unknown, and indeed the purpose of the entire building is unclear. The top of the tower disappeared into the mist.

There is a high tower a few hundred meters away from your current location. Try to get out of the thick fog and rainforest so that I can fly over to pick you up. Laurel said, his eyes glued to the telescope, and the Master Chief walked at the very end. In front, he was leading the marines to leave the ancient building and walk into the embrace of the fetid swamp.

Bad weather and some kind of interference from the buildings were confusing the Pelican's instruments, but it would be a shame if she lost contact with the team now. No matter what, she still had to maintain her face.

Understood, the Master Chief replied, We're on our way.

She steered the Pelican in circles, her eyes searching for threats. There was no obvious enemy movement around, which only made her more restless. Even if she deliberately flew close to the surface of the ring world, the attack would still come uninvited.

This was the hundredth time she flew away from Alpha Base to perform a mission. She secretly cursed that the Pelican troop carrier was always running out of ammunition and the Pillar of Autumn failed to give her more support.

The Marines pressed forward, eager to get out of this hellish place, knowing that a landing craft was hovering somewhere above the fog.

The Master Chief warned them on the communication channel to slow down and watch what was going on around them, but the Enemy Buster soon heard a Marine shouting: Enemy!, followed by intermittent firing of assault rifles. And arrived.

The Pelican's detectors suddenly revealed dozens—correct, hundreds—of new enemies on the ground. Laurie cursed and circled in the air in his Pelican, hoping to draw fire from the ground.

No fire was directed at the landing craft. Damn it! she muttered. This group of enemies seemed to appear out of thin air, suddenly rushing into the open area, but not shooting at the air cover? Maybe the Covenanters were not only ugly, but starting to look stupid.

She turned on the radio to warn ground troops, but heard a voice scream over the radio, followed by nothing but noise from the speakers. The interference intensified and she slammed her gloved fist down on the radio console. Damn it! she cried.

Uh, boss, Frye said, you'd better take a look at this.

She looked back at her co-pilot, following his gaze. Her eyes widened. Boy, she said, do you know what that thing is?
