Chapter 1

A bright full moon rises from the sky, which is the brightest and largest moon in ten years. The blue moon lights up the dark blue sky, and the stars are sparse, which makes people feel pitiful.

There are no clouds in the sky. The cool moonlight lights up the whole cliff and dyes the whole mountain into a silver world. The mountain peak has a kind of boundless pride, overlooking the boundless plain in the distance like a God.

Facing the East, the cliff is 600 meters high and 700 meters high. There are some cracks occasionally on the cliff. In the moonlight, it looks like a cat's claw mark, so shallow that it can almost be ignored.

Such a cliff is extremely difficult to climb, which is an excellent terrain to deal with the attack of mechanical animals. On the top of the cliff is an open area with a radius of several hundred meters. In this open area, there are several tall particle guns. Looking down from the top of the cliff, the winding road passes through a fork in the road below the cliff and drills into the Taihang Mountain. The Particle Cannon group becomes the gatekeeper looking up at the sky at the fork.

The particle gun has been standing here for many years. The base of the gun has been covered with rust and grass. The slender and straight barrel reflects the green light in the moonlight, just like a huge sword standing in the sky. Twenty meters to the left of the particle gun is an anti-aircraft gun. The caliber of the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun is the same as that of the particle gun. Its bullet is enough to hit the altitude of 2000 meters from here. Like the particle gun, the anti-aircraft gun is rusty.

Pamir is lying on the body of an anti-aircraft gun in the moonlight, a little bit of antirust paint, an orange emergency light to illuminate the anti-aircraft gun he is waiting for, one person one shot appears very harmonious.

Li Xinyan looked at his watch, pointing to 9:00 p.m. on June 6, 3139.

Half lying on a huge stone, he said impatiently to Pamir, "Pamir, how long will it take you to finish it? I can't wait. My saliva is running out! "

"Soon, soon!" Pamir replied, but there was no sign of acceleration in the brush he was holding.

With a sigh, Li Xinyan smiles. Pamir is not yet 30 years old, but he does things very seriously. He is more attentive to serving antiaircraft guns than to serving women, which makes Li Xinyan feel inferior.

The antiaircraft gun is very powerful. He knows the power of the gun. Unfortunately, the gun has no shells now. It has become a device with no practical use. Without cannonball, it doesn't mean that its cannonball can't be made. However, due to the shortage of resources, there are not enough materials to make this caliber cannonball. Therefore, Li Xinyan thinks that it's unnecessary for Pamir to play with it.

I don't know how many people have laid and touched the stone. It's very smooth. Now it's reflecting a layer of blue light in the moonlight. There are two glasses of wine, a plate of military luncheon meat, and some bread and vegetables on it. This is Li Xinyan's and Pamir's dinner.

"Well, you said fast and fast an hour ago, and I believed it. As a result, you still said fast and fast an hour later. I'm not fooled by you! If you don't come again, I won't wait for you! " Li Xinyan put his head on his arm and threatened solemnly. He had a bottle of wine beside him, and on the box were written "special confession" in big red letters. It wasn't easy to get the wine. When Pamir brought it, he was almost stunned. He wanted to go up and kiss Pamir. I don't know what kind of relationship the old man of country m has got two bottles. It's a very difficult thing in this era of war.

Sixteen years later, all kinds of attacking animals flying down from the sky in the machine city have shoveled through almost all the plains that human beings can cultivate. Food has become extremely precious and can make wine. Only a few countries crouching in the steep mountains have such luxury behavior. Therefore, Li Xinyan is not only admiring but also resentful of the ability of this m country old man, There's an urge to change.

"Well, by the way, when will you come back next time?" Li Xinyan looked at Pamir's busy back and asked.

"Next time? About half a year later? At present, there are 1305 bases on the line of defense guarding Taihang Mountain. There are only 36 engineers in charge of this area, and a few of them will be left to train new mechanical and technical engineers in the headquarters mountain. So, you'd better pray that your guns don't go wrong! If something goes wrong, I can't make it in a short time, so you can only shoot at the sky. " Pamir speaks pure Chinese fluently but seriously.

Li Xinyan thought it funny, and he laughed: "pray? What time do you still believe in God? Ah, you m people are so advanced in science and technology that there are still people who believe in God. If there is a God, I would like to worship God and ask God to end this unseen war earlier, so that I can go to the seaside and have a look at the mountains and water in the South. I don't have to stay here, just like a mountain god. Alas, if you stay like this any longer, you'll become a savage or a pervert! "

Pamir kept the speed of painting under his hand and said: "praying is a state of mind, not really believing in the existence of gods! It's just psychological comfort. How can you really ask God for what you want to do? "

"However, when technology reaches the advanced stage, we are gods! Prayer is not a result, but a state of mind Well, in fact, what's the use of advanced science and technology in our country? Have been beaten worse than the mechanical City subjugation, advanced science and technology and what use? okay! Finally finished! But your pen is useless. "

Pamir put down the paint bucket and brush, rubbed a handful of dead leaves with his hand, and wiped the paint off his hand. He looked at the tip of the brush that had been glued together in his hand, and then put it back into the paint bucket.

"What's the point? There are many wolves in the mountains. If you have nothing to do, just grab a few more and make another one. There's no need to feel sorry for a brush. " Li Xinyan road. He sat up, took out two bowls, carefully unscrewed the bottle and began to pour.

As soon as the wine came out of the bottle, the aroma immediately overflowed. The seven or eight people sitting next to the particle gun immediately stopped chatting, and their eyes immediately stared at this side. Li Xinyan was slightly stunned, then thought about it and cried: "Wanzi, come here, take this bottle of wine and share it! Hey, a bunch of poor little guys. I haven't even tried to drink. "

"Thank you, monitor!" Among the seven or eight people, a thin guy immediately jumped over with a happy face, picked up the bottle and jumped back, feeling very happy.

Pamir also sat down on the boulder, looked at his back and said with a smile, "Wanzi is not yet 18 years old. He looks like a child anyway." Li Xinyan also smiles and says thoughtfully, "I'm less than 18, I'm only 16."

"16? I'm not an adult yet Pamir was slightly surprised, "your country is not so crowded. How come even 16-year-old children are sent here now?"

"Many people? Hey, hey, that's the past tense. No matter how many people there are, they can't stand a war that lasted for nearly 20 years! Just like your country m, up to now, there are only resistance points in the mountains? There is no one, but the war is still going on. Whether you want to fight or not, you have to fight. There is no other way. In order to survive, the children have to fight. " Li Xinyan said that there was a lot of bitterness in his tone.

He picked up the bowl, touched Pamir's and took a big sip.

Pamir had been greedy for a long time. After drinking a mouthful of wine from a bowl, they both smacked their tongue and sighed, "good wine!"

"By the way, which squad leader are you in this base?" Asked Pamir.

Li Xinyan did not expect that he suddenly asked this question. He was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and raised his eyebrows, "first term!" The answer is very proud. Pamir's eyes brightened and he said with a smile, "it's you! The monitor who hasn't changed in eight years! "

"What is me?" Li Xinyan asked.

"Our technology department will count all the bases of Taihang Mountain defense line every ten days. One is to see how many losses there are, and the other is to see how the work arrangements for the next ten days are arranged. In addition, it will also count some other information reported by each engineer, including the information of the team leader. I didn't look at the details of the report carefully. I only remember that there was only one place where the monitor didn't change. It turned out to be you! "

Pamir said with a smile, "the squad leaders of other bases are either dead or seriously injured. They have been transferred to houfangshan. They have already changed people. Of course, several of them have been upgraded and become more senior commanders. Anyway, they are no longer in the front-line battlefield, so you... Are the only remaining fool."

"Idiot!" Li Xinyan almost choked the wine in his mouth, but thinking of the value of the wine, he held it back and quickly swallowed it. Then he coughed wildly. In this way, he hardly choked to death. As soon as he looked up, his eyes were full of tears.

Pamir ignored him, took the wine, let the spicy taste turn in his mouth twice, took another sip, and continued: "so, the only one who has been the monitor for eight years! It's not easy! When I go back to the headquarters, I'd like to remind the leaders that it's time to reward them! Otherwise, how can you stand up to your insistence for so many years? "

"Awards?" Li Xinyan managed to slow down and said with a bitter smile: "the awards come every year, but there is nothing practical. It's better to upgrade my weapons, so I'd better not. If you give me a new particle gun, I don't need those awards! Even if there are no weapons, it's good to have more wine. It's always something to look forward to. Nothing. It's useless just to reward. "

Pamir glared at Li Xinyan and said with a bitter smile: "Hey! You think it's beautiful. Even steel production in the rear is becoming more and more difficult. You want to change advanced weapons. That's a dream! As far as I know, the latest particle guns are difficult to transport to this dangerous place. The production of large transport aircraft has become difficult, so don't expect to use the air force to transport that thing. As for the car, hey, nine times out of ten it was destroyed by the mechanical beast troops wandering in the plain. It's even more difficult to get here. But I recently heard that with the help of general Lin's operation team, they succeeded in sending a batch out. However, the base is built in the valley... It's worrying. It doesn't take much time for the mechanical animals to climb there. "

"As for you, wait for the pie to fall from the sky!"

"Why, is the operation team still in charge of this?" Li Xinyan has a wonderful road.

"Well, things that can't be done by the military headquarters are usually assigned to the operation team. It's a convention. "

"Then they can do it?" Li Xinyan asked again. He thinks it's exaggeration. It's all about people. Why can't other people do it?

Pamir looked at him with his glass and said with a smile, "I know, but you can't

Li Xinyan "poof", this time finally choked, and began to cough violently. Pamir looked afraid that he would choke and said, "even if you can, you can't get out of this base!"

After a hard recovery, Pamir said: "in fact, in addition to the operation team, there is a powerful department in the underground base, which can be handed over to them. However, the upper level of the military headquarters is very strange. They don't look for them, but they look for the operation team, and they don't know what they think."

"Which department?" Asked Li Xinyan.

"Mercenary Corps."

"Oh?"

Pamir sighed, took another sip from his glass, and said, "in fact, the mercenary Corps is not easy. The last time I went to them to do maintenance work, I saw a whole class of soldiers. None of them were unhurt, and they didn't get off the line of fire when they were injured. Their eyes were red, and they were more excited to see the manipulator than to see a woman, Even some of you rob me, I really don't understand, such a strong team, how many things can't fall to them

"I know that." Li Xinyan road.

"You know? You've been drinking in the mountains for eight years. What do you know? " Pamir laughs.

"That's what these kids say, of course." Li Xinyan pointed to a group of noisy boys on the platform under the rock“ They like to talk to me when they are free. "

"What did they say? Tell me about it? "

Li Xinyan said: "because of their leader!"

Pamir was surprised and nodded: "well, almost. People at the base seem to say that. "

"But why?" Li Xinyan asked.

This time, it amused Pamir and said with a smile, "ah? Don't you know that? Didn't you say your boys would tell you that? Why don't you know that? "

Li Xinyan shook his head. He picked up the wine, took another sip, and looked expectantly at Pamir.

"He's... A sissy."

Li Xinyan did not slow down, choked again.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Xinyan was slightly drunk, half squinting, and the breeze swept his face. The early summer wind is very soft, like a woman's white hands, very comfortable. Pamir is lying on the boulder, looking at the moon leisurely, still talking to himself. It seems that he has been holding on for a long time and can't find a suitable person to talk to. When he meets Li Xinyan, it's like a corn cob thrown into the fire and blooming everywhere.

"... in fact, the operation team and the mercenary regiment can't pee in the same pot. After all, they are not born by a mother. There are thorns both inside and outside. You stab me and I stab you. They don't feel it. People outside can see clearly. No, I heard that the Army wanted to investigate one of the mercenaries' leaders some time ago. They said that the law department of the army was out of hand about dereliction of duty, But it was blocked by the mercenary corps, and the military headquarters directly assassinated him in a rage, and sent out the operation team. Guess what? As soon as the front foot of the action team arrived, they saw the head hanging on the door of his office! The mercenary Corps is not easy to get into trouble. Your action team wants to get my general. I'll give it to you and see what you can do! You see, that's a great move, isn't it? No matter whether the general has committed a crime or not, this means alone will be enough to suppress all those who want to have trouble with the mercenary corps It's so fierce that I won't let go of myself! "

"Although general Lin of the operation team is the fourth leader of the underground city base, everyone says behind his back that his father doesn't like to see him. His father didn't like to see him, but he was very good at camp. He managed well with his father. Without support, he was able to climb to the fourth position in the military headquarters. That's a great one Alas, you can't refuse to accept such a person. You have good resources, you work hard, and you can use reverse assistance. Who can go up if he doesn't go up? "

"Some people say that this man is a playboy, and half of the women in the military department are taken to his arms. Some people concluded that most of the people who rely on women are ruthless, so he firmly controls the action team in his own hands. But I've met him. He looks very nice on the surface. He doesn't look cruel... So this rumor is a bit strange. "

Li Xinyan snorted coldly and said, "some people know their faces, but they don't know their hearts."

Pamir nodded: "well, that's the reason. So we're all looking at what kind of sparks the action team and the mercenary corps are going to have. "

"What? They're going to have a civil war now? "

Pamir patted his mouth and said, "it's not civil war. It's just that the taste of * * is very strong."

Just as he was talking, the iron door hidden in the stone pile suddenly opened. A soldier rushed out and yelled to Li Xinyan: "monitor! There's a situation! " Li Xinyan looked into the distance, and there were some black spots on the horizon.

The house in the stone pile is the radar console. When the mechanical attack animals appear nearby, they can be seen on the radar.

Li Xinyan immediately woke up eight or nine minutes after drinking. A Jiling stood up and called to the soldiers who were still drinking: "attention, everyone! on your marks! The enemy is coming

"Pamir, you go to the radar control room. It's safer there!" Li Xinyan told Pamir, then rushed to a particle gun. For the current human and mechanical city war, the lives of technicians are much more valuable than ordinary soldiers.

Pamir looked at the black shadow flickering slightly in the distance, but did not move. Instead, he immediately took action under his hand, poured the unfinished wine into the bottle, and then quickly packed them. The life of a technician is no more than a few bottles of wine.

The whole base suddenly came to life in the moonlight, the footwall of the particle gun creaked, the barrel lowered, and aimed and fired at the distant shadow. Pamir held the bottle in his arms and looked up at the shadows from afar with great interest. There are not many shadows. It seems that this attack is also a sneak attack, and the scale is not large. For high-energy particle guns, destroying them is just a matter of several shells. Pamir has confidence in Li Xinyan and they will win.

The shell of the high-energy particle gun is a hollow shell. When it is excited, the ion arc inside will be activated and ejected instantly. When it encounters something, the shell of the shell will burst, and the ion arc inside will be released, releasing huge energy. Basically, everything it encounters will be blasted and smashed. This thing is very suitable to deal with the air power of the mechanical city. As a result, the air power of the mechanical city has become less and less in recent years, while the mechanical beasts have become more and more.

Pamir was thinking, in front of his eyes, four bright blue particle rays burst out and flew straight towards the distant shadow. In less than a second, four floating shadows burst out a bright fireworks in the sky, and then fell slowly to the dark earth with flames and shining star shaped fragments.

"Adjust the aim and launch the second wave attack!" Li Xinyan commands loudly. Another squeaky turn, the particle gun aimed at the shadow in the distance, and the second wave of attack took place.

In the sky, four bright flames ignited, and four flying mechanical attack beasts were blown to pieces.

The wing span of the flying mechanical attack beast is about three meters. Its whole body is made of metal, and even its wings are made of unknown mixed metal. For this kind of mechanical attack beast, which is similar to an eagle's air attack, as long as it has anti-aircraft guns, it can basically fight one by one. So as long as most flying mechanical attack beasts don't let it get close and can't fall down, they seem to be good targets for practice.

So in Li Xinyan's view, with a few more shells, this sneak attack can be completely solved.

Looking along the direction of particle gun attack, there are only four or five flying mechanical attack beasts left. As long as two rounds of air fire, it is estimated that almost all of them will be eliminated. And the flying robot flies very fast, just for a moment, it seems that it is only 200 meters away from the cliff which is hundreds of meters high. For these flights, this distance is just a matter of a few words. Li Xinyan said with a smile: "it's his grandfather's. He's dead. Pamir, wait. We'll go on later! "

Looking back, Pamir didn't go to the radar control room. Instead, he quickly ran to the middle of the rock pile on the top of the cliff, opened another iron door, and hurriedly took out six continuous fire weapons. There are rest areas and warehouses in the middle of the stone pile. This kind of stone pile exists in almost every cliff base. Generally, four stones are gathered together, and the middle is made into a cross channel, which is very effective against the attack in the sky. This product is very attractive. I know how to keep it.

If the mechanical herd comes, nature is the best equipment to deal with them. Pamir is really preparing for the failure of air interception.

"Superfluous!" Li Xinyan said with a smile.

The barrel of the particle gun flashed, and four fireballs exploded again in the air. Li Xinyan's mouth turned up, and he was elated. In the past eight years, he has been here all the time, depending on his team's shooting percentage to a great extent. This cliff has the advantage of good location. Basically, the mechanical beast doesn't come. As long as you defend the air power well, everything will be safe.

"There's only one left. I'll let you never come back!" Li Xinyan quickly adjusts the sight of the last mechanical attack beast, preparing for a beautiful ending, so that Pamir, who is not easy to come to his base, can open his eyes and show off to him.

Suddenly, without waiting for Li Xinyan to press the launch button, the target in the sight suddenly broke into five or six big and small pieces!

Li Xinyan suddenly jumped in his heart. What the hell is this? Will it split?

He cried out in a hurry, "pay attention! Wanzi, you hit the bottom, we hit the top! "

The four particle guns on the base are not on the same plane. The rear turret is slightly higher than the front one, which is convenient for shooting at the same time and will not cause visual obstruction due to the cross of bullets. Generally speaking, Li Xinyan said that everyone would attack the corresponding target according to their own position, so as to ensure that they hit the target and keep the target from becoming scattered.

"Monitor! It's too close! " Wan Zi's voice was very tense. For the target that is only over 100 meters away and is still rapidly approaching, we are not very sure to smash it. Pamir almost screamed and rushed around the fort, throwing the man on the ground: "get ready for close contact!" Then he ran to the rock again*** The weight is not light. It's his limit to take six at a time. He can't take much at a time, so he can only run a few more times.

The brilliance of the particle gun flashed again, and four blooming fireballs appeared less than 100 meters away from the cliff. Unfortunately, there are still two pieces of debris, there is no way to hit, too close!

"Lie down!" Li Xinyan roared“ Two pieces of flying mechanical attack animal fell to the ground with two sounds of "Wu". Because of the extremely fast landing speed, the pieces directly fell into the gravel cracks on the ground.

After landing, the debris inserts itself into the ground, and the flame at the end of the debris goes out, but it lights up a restless blue light.

Pamir just ran out of the stone house. He didn't know that the cannonball of Mechatronics city had hit the ground of the base. Everyone started to dodge. Only he ran towards the particle gun with six guns in his hand. And in the middle of the road, the blue light gradually faded in the flicker.

"Pamir! Get down Li Xinyan drank a lot.

"Boom" two loud sounds, almost at the same time, two pieces of flying mechanical attack animal fragments burst out of two mushroom clouds with a radius of 10 meters, two burst out from the explosion point, shock wave and hot air came to the face, the gravel seemed to be a bullet, whistling and flying from the top of the crowd.

Li Xinyan's voice is too late.
