Wasteland plane, North Star.
After more than ten years of development, Polaris has now become a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands.
After Su Ziyu left, Pasha vigorously integrated the resources around Polaris. Coupled with the secret support of the Brotherhood and the great reputation that Su Ziyu left in the underground world when he left, Polaris was annexed with almost no difficulty. There are a large number of nearby gathering points.
Today, there are twelve nearby satellite cities in North Star alone, and the total population exceeds one million. It is already considered a top-ranking force in this area of North America.
In addition to some underground rumors nowadays, there are rumors that Polaris has connected with the giant city in the east - Beidou, which makes Polaris' geographical location even more special. There is a news that has been circulating in the Americas, that is, a certain big country in the East has rebuilt a super city with a complete industrial system after sacrificing for several generations. (Note: In the background of the Fallout series, warlords are still fighting in America, while the East has begun to rebuild civilization.)
However, the world has not been peaceful recently, because a strange disease has begun to spread throughout the world.
About two years ago, a strange disease called 'mechanical worm disease' began to spread. It is a disease aimed at modifying people. After suffering from this kind of aberration, the nervous tissue of the modified people will produce a rejection reaction with the bionic limbs. Mild cases may cause periodic pain, while severe cases may even result in direct paralysis. The transmission route of this virus has always been a mystery, and the way of infection is also very strange. Some people are completely fine, while others suddenly become ill. There is secret news that this is a man-made virus developed by a certain force, with the purpose of targeting those who People who have undergone bionic transformation.
But this was just the beginning. Shortly after the mechanical worm disease spread, a new 'crazy disease' appeared again.
Madness is more terrifying than mechanical worm disease, because the sick people look normal on the surface, but are relatively cold and withdrawn, and do not like to be in contact with people. But once the disease occurs, they will become insane, extremely aggressive, and may even There is a tendency to self-harm and to kill everything in a frenzied manner.
If people infected with madness wander into the wilderness, they will quickly show signs of becoming ghouls, so the number of ghouls in the wild has gradually increased in the past two years.
Under the attack of these two waves of viruses, Polaris has also been greatly affected.
Especially during the recent period, the leader of Polaris, Pasha, has not shown up for more than a month. There are rumors that she has suffered from an extremely serious mechanical worm disease and has even lost the ability to move independently.
If Pasha hadn't ruled Polaris for more than ten years, and a certain legendary existence prevented the forces from all camps from taking any rash actions, Polaris would have been in chaos by now.
But even so, the situation in Polaris is not good at this time. The spread of madness has made everyone here in danger. Some people have begun to turn to religious beliefs for self-comfort in fear. The Cult of Mechanical Atoms developed and grew at this time. They claimed that after believing in the Mechanic God, they would no longer have to fear radiation pollution and would not suffer from madness. Therefore, even if the major forces try their best to suppress the Mechanical Atomic God, there are still many people who secretly devote themselves to religious beliefs.
boom!
A dull explosion sounded.
Along with the rising flames, a group of tough-looking mercenaries were shooting at the guards of Polaris with guns. The firepower of this group was extremely fierce. One of them, who had metal armor on his chest, was carrying a heavy load. Fire weapons.
The battle broke out so suddenly that the guards of Polaris were unable to react for a moment and were completely suppressed by their firepower.
Fortunately, the residents of Polaris responded very quickly. Some people who settled here immediately took out weapons from their homes to help the guards fight back against these mercenaries who suddenly went crazy.
"Son of a bitch! Fuck them!"
"How dare you blow up my home!"
"Bros!"
"Copycat! Bobby! Get my RPG!"
Pasha's more than ten years of gentle rule made the residents of Polaris extremely supportive of her. After discovering the enemy's attack, many residents who had been scavengers immediately went to work. Many of them were once wanderers outside, and some were even disabled. If Pasha hadn't taken them in, these people would have had to wait to die in the wilderness. Over the years, Pasha has taken in many scavengers with clean families, and she has also paid for these people to be equipped with bionic limbs. Some of these people were absorbed into the guard team, and others became residents here. Living in some small shops.
The attack came too suddenly, and the location of the attack was outside Polaris. The defense team was unable to react for a while, and the situation at the scene was very passive.
But at this moment, a cold female voice came from the garrison captain's communicator. She looked a little immature and said slowly: "Fire cover!"
"The 16th formation is encircling on the right."
"Others cover the situation and evacuate."
The guard captain's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he shouted loudly: "Her Royal Highness is here! Brothers from the 16th formation, follow me!"
The words just fell.
A silver-white figure flashed on the distant roof, and then an exoskeleton powered armor that reflected silver-white luster in the sun fell. It released its force the moment it landed and rolled to avoid the incoming bullets. Then he raised his hand and a cannonball was shot out, directly blasting an enemy in the distance into the sky.
This silver-white exoskeleton powered armor has excellent flexibility. She hid behind the bunker and paused for a second or two. Then she suddenly ejected, shooting a metal storm in mid-air. The next second she saw something in the distance. The enemy fell in large pieces like wheat.
"There is no source power value."
"It's those damn rats sneaking in again."
The whole battle ended faster than expected. The soldier wearing silver-white power armor was like a sharpshooter. The enemy fell with every shot. In just a few minutes, most of the enemies were killed. , the remaining people were so frightened that they did not dare to show their heads, and immediately began to flee after throwing some smoke bombs and electromagnetic bombs.
The silver-white power armor avoided the explosion range of the electromagnetic bomb. She activated the jet device under her feet and jumped onto the roof slowly. Then she took out a sniper rifle from behind and began to kill one after another in an orderly manner. .
By the time the guards arrived, the remaining enemies were no longer of concern.
The battle ended quickly.
Zi.
The silver-white metal helmet was taken off, and a delicate and pretty face appeared. Her facial features were extremely beautiful, and her face had the softness of an Oriental, but her eyes and nose bridge were very three-dimensional. You could tell at a glance that she was of mixed race. Her long black hair seemed to have been dyed, and a hint of golden color could be seen at the roots of her hair. She did not look very old, and she looked about fourteen or fifteen years old from the outside.
"Sakura."
"You acted without authorization again!" came a dull male voice.
At this time, Polaris's support troops had arrived. They were all wearing exoskeleton powered armor. The leader showed a bright bald head and held a six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun in his hand. There was a hanger on the exoskeleton armor. Wearing a string of Buddhist beads, it looks a bit nondescript.
"Uncle Jingse." The girl shouted playfully, turned around and wanted to slip away, but was still chased by the bald man.
Jiese's face is much older than it was back then. Calculating his age, he is now in his thirties. He has a lot of wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes, some scars on his chin, and more bionic prosthetics have been installed on his body. . He waved to other team members to clear the battlefield, then caught up with the girl in front, and earnestly advised: "It's too dangerous for you to do this."
"What if those people have any energy weapons in their hands? Silver Wing's external armor cannot block energy weapons."
"What if something happens to you?"
"How should I explain to your father? With the current situation in Polaris, you must understand that your safety is above all else!"
The girl turned back with a grimace and said, "I understand."
"I'll definitely pay attention next time."
After saying that, the girl directly activated the jet device of the exoskeleton power armor, and disappeared from sight in a leap.
"Alas." Jiese looked at the silver-white power armor disappearing from sight, took out a cigar and lit it, and sighed: "She has such a reckless personality, I'm really afraid that something will happen to her."
"Don't worry, boss." The team member on the side patted Jiese on the shoulder and said, "Her Royal Highness can even deal with the legendary death claws, and these little mice that get in are not a problem at all."
Although Pasha has always adopted a gentle rule over Polaris, she has gradually gained the nickname 'queen' because she is extremely strong externally. Naturally, as Pasha's daughter, Su Ying was gradually called "Her Royal Highness the Princess". Of course, this was more of a joking title.
Jiese frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "This month is already the second wave of attacks."
"There must be a mole inside Polaris."
"Send someone to investigate immediately and dig three feet into the ground to find them."
"We must find out what their purpose is."
The situation in America has been quite turbulent recently. Not long ago, a war broke out in the south between the divided colleges. In addition, a large number of weapons were recently leaked through mysterious channels, and marauding knights began to appear in the wilderness again.
"Understood. I'm going now." The team members saluted and left quickly.
at the same time.
On the roof of a building several kilometers away, next to a tall building with an iceberg logo, three men were quietly observing the battle in the distance through some kind of device.
"The target is stronger than imagined!"
"It seems that Hero Jack's plan to save the beauty has been ruined." The young man who spoke showed a hint of schadenfreude.
Next to him was a bald man with a slightly older face. The skin from his neck to his head was a little red, like a half-cooked lobster. He glanced at the others with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "Continue to implement the next plan. ”
"Jack must be given the opportunity to get close to the target."
"We must find a way to make the target fall in love with Jack. Only in this way can Jack be favored by fate."
"Those infidels have already begun to act."
"We need the favor of fate. There is not much time left for us."
Hearing what the bald man said, the young man on the side shrugged his shoulders and said, "Boss, do you really believe what that goddess said?"
"That little girl is the savior favored by fate?"
"All right."
"She does seem to have been lucky, but even if she is the child of destiny."
"Let her fall in love with Jack? Can Jack take away the ability to be favored by fate?"
The bald man stared at the young man with cold eyes, until the other man's eyes dodge with a hint of fear, and then he slowly said: "Yes."
"As long as she can truly fall in love with Jack."
"And then died in the final sacrificial ceremony..."
High walls.
The inner city of Polaris' military camp has never been demolished and has now been turned into a closed fortress.
A silver-white figure fell down. The girl gently lifted her long black hair and tied it into a single ponytail. Then she sat by the city wall and looked at the thick smoke that had not dissipated in the distance. About a few minutes later, a tall woman wearing a smart military uniform came over. After a moment of silence, she sat next to the girl.
"Mattie. How is mother?" the girl asked softly.
"I just finished the injection of sedatives." The girl who was a thief on the streets has now become a capable female soldier. She gently sat next to the girl, took her hand and put it on her knee, and said softly: "She was in a bad state and had been hearing hallucinations."
The girl's expression turned gloomy upon hearing this, she hugged her knees with her hands and looked at her feet silently.
"It's none of your business, you've done enough." Mattie couldn't help but put her arms around the girl's shoulders and comforted her softly.
The girl was silent for a moment and whispered: "If I could be stronger, as strong as my father..."
"Maybe my mother won't have to take risks, and she won't be like this..."
Mattie hugged the girl in front of her with some distress. Just as he was about to speak to comfort her, he caught a glimpse of several figures from the corner of his eyes. He immediately approached her ear and said, "That guy is here again."
The girl put away the sadness on her face almost instantly. She turned her head and looked not far away. Her eyes skipped the handsome man walking in front and landed on another person two steps behind him.
Walking towards me was a very handsome young man, about 20 years old, with a tall and straight figure, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose, fair skin, meticulously combed golden hair, and a slightly raised mouth. Another hint of cynicism. This is a very attractive young man, especially his face. From an ordinary person's perspective, it is almost perfect, completely in line with the aesthetics of all women. Perfection seems to be carved bit by bit with the most precise carving knife. of general.
At this moment, he also seemed to see the girl's figure. He couldn't help but raise his head and reveal a bright smile. Facing the sun, he could see his dazzling white teeth like porcelain.
This is a very handsome and charming young man, so the eyes of many women along the way are firmly attracted to him.
However, the girl's attention fell more on the thin man behind the other party, who was slightly silent, because on his body, the girl could see the special affixes marked by the system.
— "Phil [Stargate Project] [The Sheep Killer]!"
For the first time in all these years, except for her father, the girl felt obvious psychic pressure from someone else. The other person seemed to be a terrifying monster hidden under his skinny body.
