The reason why the battle on the star of Exo was able to end so quickly, the insiders of the Covenant Department know that Morrison made the first contribution in this battle.
For this war, in addition to sending regular troops, the military also intends to send special troops there, and Morrison took the initiative to take over the task.
The regular army rushed to the star of Kesuo to provide support. When the special forces were put into action, the battle situation on the battlefield of Kesuo was already quite fierce.
The location of this large-scale vicious attack was in the new city of Kesuo star. The firelight lit the sky of the city, and black smoke rose from the destroyed areas. The bombardment and explosions hardly stopped. next moment.
No one can take advantage of the two armies for the time being. The battle situation is stalemate. It is the city that suffers. In just a few days, the city has been destroyed beyond recognition.
When I came to Xingxing and saw the tragic situation of this place, even soldiers with excellent psychological quality could not help but change their expressions. If they did not eliminate the enemy as soon as possible, the number of innocent casualties in the city would increase sharply at a terrifying rate. These Trying to create terrifying enemies in the interstellar space will achieve their purpose.
According to the intelligence, Morrison decided to lead the special forces to attack the rear of the enemy after learning about the situation.
It is conceivable that this was a risky operation, but knowing from the intelligence that the leader of the enemy was staying behind, and that the main force of the enemy was temporarily restrained by his own side, Morrison started the operation without hesitation.
The special unit is an elite squad. All members of the team have mutant abilities. With the help of the one-minute invisibility ability attached to him by his teammates, Morrison sneaked into the house where the enemy leader was.
Grabbing a dagger in his hand, Morrison waited for his teammates to draw fire outside and lead some of the guards out of the house.
Sneak into the house, Morrison has only the last seventeen seconds of invisibility.
But his teammates did not live up to his trust. A few seconds after he was ready to assassinate, there was a commotion outside the house.
Five seconds.
Holding his breath almost to the limit, aiming at the neck of the man on the seat, Morrison found the largest gap between the remaining guards in the room and rushed out with a swift and fierce attitude like a cheetah.
In an instant, he cut the throat of the target prey with the dagger in his hand, and in the next second Morrison filled the knife and inserted the dagger into the opponent's heart.
The stealth state was lifted in the same second, and the gunshots came almost at the same time.
While sneaking in, he figured out an escape route, and the moment he succeeded, Morrison broke out of the window immediately, and none of those hurried bullets could hit him.
Sending out a signal to his companions to retreat, Morrison also fled in the direction where the enemy's defense was weak. He had to run to the set coordinates of the teleportation ring, which was almost two kilometers away from his current position.
"What's the matter?" The communicator beside his ear sounded, and Morrison asked immediately.
The words from the communicator were urgent, with a panting voice: "The chasing soldiers don't chase us, they seem to be heading towards you, maybe they want to capture you alive, you hurry up and go to the teleportation ring."
Sure enough, the number of people chasing behind seemed to be gradually increasing. Morrison cut off the communication and concentrated on avoiding the attack from behind.
The pursuit from the rear was getting closer and closer, and it was estimated that he would be overtaken in a while. Morrison remained calm. As long as he ran to the teleportation ring, it would be useless for the enemy to send an entire army to surround him.
But there is always a little unexpected change in the plan.
"Goo... Gook, Gook..."
While dodging the gunshots, he heard some weak and childish screams from the left. Morrison looked at the source of the sound. In the ruined building, he saw a smashed stone slab trapped in a small space. Cub, this cub looked so frightened and helpless that he was screaming instinctively.
But the cub's cry was heard by no one except Morrison, who was passing by at this time, and the dying mother not far away.
To save or not to save.
If he doesn't take the cub now, the cub will either be trapped alive in that small space, or it may be found and killed by enemy forces. But to save the cub, he had to be ready to face the pursuers head-on.
Although there was thinking in his mind, Morrison's action was before thinking, and he changed direction and approached the destroyed building.
In a race against time, Morrison lifted the huge stone slab that trapped the cub with one hand and fished the cub into his arms with the other.
There was another extremely weak breath in the collapsed ruins. Morrison saw a woman lying in a pool of blood. The latter took all her strength to glance at him, her eyes on the cub in his arms. On the body, the final low voice: "... Riley."
is the cub's name.
The weak breathing had stopped, and after hearing the sound in his ears, Morrison took the cub he rescued from under the slate and fled in the intended direction.
The original time should have been just right, and when he was caught up by the pursuers, Morrison had already arrived at the teleportation ring.
But he went to rescue a cub midway, and now he is still a few hundred meters away from the teleportation ring, and Morrison is blocked by some pursuers.
There are more enemies coming from behind, and being stopped is a dead end.
Not paying attention to the few miscellaneous soldiers blocking the way, Morrison maintained the original route and used his ability to increase the gravity of these enemies several times at once, making it difficult for the opponent to move.
Adjusting gravity, this mutation ability has a limited range of action and cannot be used on a large scale. It can work wonders when used well like Morrison.
The last hundred meters.
Getting closer and closer to the target, Morrison didn't dare to take it lightly until he managed to escape.
There's one last minute left for the teleportation ring to last—
enough.
Counting the time mentally, Morrison increased his speed for the final sprint.
I have seen the teleportation ring glowing faintly in the hidden grass, only a few short steps away, and Morrison can immediately touch it.
But at the same second that the line of sight touched, a particle beam that was so fast that it was difficult to dodge brushed Morrison's side, creating a deep pit on the ground, and a figure approached at the same time, aiming the strange weapon in his hand at the former. .
this angle-
He was dodging other attacks originally, but Morrison suddenly realized that he could not dodge the weapon raised by the enemy who was approaching suddenly.
Because from this angle, he can only dodge all attacks in one way, and if he tries to dodge in this way, the cub in his arms will be hit.
Under the attack, Morrison fell down and encountered the teleportation ring in the grass. Although the enemy tried to interfere with the teleportation ring at the moment of discovery, Morrison successfully carried out the space transfer.
The enemy's interference was not completely ineffective. When the teleportation was completed, what he saw was not a familiar scene. Morrison realized that the teleportation was wrong.
But he didn't have the energy to think about other things. I don't know if it was the effect of the enemy's special weapon. Morrison felt that his consciousness was being pulled away, and he fell into darkness almost in the next second.
I don't know how long he had been in a coma. When he regained consciousness, the first thing Morrison felt was a sharp peck on his face.
It didn't hurt, just like trying to wake him up.
When Morrison opened his eyes, all he saw was a well-furnished Riley cub, now estimated to be only a few months old, with a pair of small fins hanging on either side of its body, looking like a It's very round.
"Guji." Raising his lower fins, the Riley cub made a very immature cry to the awakened adult.
Morrison sat up and carried the cub back into his arms before he began to observe his surroundings.
It's like a cave, and it's by the sea.
After waking up, he could feel the sharp pain from the place where his left arm was hit. After enduring the pain, Morrison picked up the cub and walked out of the cave.
Of course, the current location is still on the star of Kesuo. The communicator was dropped in the previous battle, and Morrison can't directly contact the troops now.
He should have only been in a coma for about a day at most. I don't know how the battle is going. Morrison can only go to the nearest city with the cub.
He unexpectedly got very good news in this city. The war was over. On the second day after the enemy leader was assassinated, the chaotic enemy army was quickly swept away by the Covenant army. Two clean.
The tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and Morrison found a hotel to rest and feed the cubs. The Riley cub should have been hungry by now, but he hadn't cried along the way.
Before returning to the army, he had to properly settle the cub.
Having never fed the cubs, Morrison feeds the cubs on his lap in an extremely unnatural position.
When he felt that the cub should be full, Morrison's hand felt the soft bulge of the cub's belly, and he gently placed the Riley cub on the ground, allowing him to move freely.
For placement, you have to find a cub care branch.
Morrison still understands this common sense, but the moment he stood up, Morrison watched as the fluffy Riley cub approached him, the cub clattering his body. When he came over, he suddenly raised a pair of small fins and hugged his trouser legs.
"Goo~"
Lifting his head, the Riley cub stared at the adult he was hugging with his black eyes.
It was a particularly tender and crisp voice, full of trust and dependence in the cub Wuliu's eyes.
"..." Morrison couldn't react for a while, the cub's black eyes were bright, and he suddenly felt a little immobile when he was hugged by the cub.
Seeing the cub's reliance on him in his eyes, Morrison didn't quite remember what he was thinking at the time. When he came back to his senses, he had already brought the cub back to Shilorin Star.
Buying a cub bed, rations, and many cub toys, Morrison's crystal card balance, which has never been increasing, has decreased for the first time.
The left arm that was hit by the special weapon needed to be removed, and Morrison accepted the judgment given by the medical department.
Since discovering that the family's cub is afraid of thunder, Morrison has taken leave to stay at home with the cub every rainy day. Frequent requests for leave are seen in the eyes of others, and they basically think that he has to do so because of an unrecoverable injury.
"Gu... Guji Guji!"
Smelling a strange smell from the adults, the Riley cub, who would normally circle around Morrison, flapped a pair of tiny fins and barked at each other.
Morrison: "… "
After thinking about what was abnormal in himself, Morrison could only think of the smell of smoke. Seeing the cub's reaction, Morrison went to change his clothes and packed himself by the way.
Cubs don't like the smell of cigarettes, and they shouldn't let the other party touch them. Basically, Morrison hasn't touched the cigarette case since this time.
After taking care of the Riley cub for more than a year, Morrison gradually came up with the idea of applying for retirement from the military.
It is true that without an arm, it is very inconvenient in some operations. Over the past year, the sequelae of Morrison's injuries caused by special weapons have become more and more obvious.
Putting these two points aside, Morrison actually felt that the cubs at home were over two years old and should be admitted to a cub care club, so that the cubs could be better educated and cared for, and they could have many playmates.
And after he retired, he had time to check the life of the cubs every week, so that he would not be suddenly transferred to a far place by the military one day.
When there is concern in the heart, people will become weak, and now carrying out the task, Morrison feels that he may not be able to do the same thing as before.
So retirement is the best option.
"I was rushed to tell you something, and I wanted to ask why you didn't want to adopt that cub?" Zarad, who is not good at playing word games, chose to go straight in the end.
Seeing that the other party seems to care about the Riley cub, otherwise he would not come over to watch it every week like other parents.
The recollection is interrupted, and this is the second time Morrison has been asked about adopting a cub, and he is silent for a moment, before replying: "I can't be a qualified parent."
Not to mention physical injuries, he doesn't know how to coax cubs, and his reputation is not good, so he can't be a good role model for cubs.
At this time, on Xie Luan's side, he was squatting down and looking at Riley's cub with a colored pen in its sharp beak.
The cub wrote the two words "papa" crookedly on the white paper in front of him with a pen in his mouth, and then waved his small fins and made several crisp calls in a row, and his black eyes were particularly bright.
Looking at the bright eyes of this Riley cub, Xie Luan couldn't help thinking at this moment, as Zarad said, this cub was rescued by Morrison from the battlefield.
For this cub, the latter should be the most powerful hero in his mind.
