They've all forgotten that the other person is a veteran of World War II; it's quite normal that they don't have this feature.
However, the cool scene of sniping from mid-air that I had imagined has been completely shattered...
"Enough with the small talk, when will you arrive?"
Several model-sized carrier-based aircraft could already be seen circling nearby. She was ready at any moment, of course, without any proper safety measures. She treated it as an extreme sport, after all, she had just jumped off a building.
"A carrier-based aircraft is approaching your position and is expected to arrive in thirty seconds."
"understood."
Upon scanning again, it spotted a "model" diving towards it, pulling up its angle and slowing down to a position where Barrett could safely board.
"Be careful not to bump your head on me."
"You just need to be careful not to jump up suddenly."
......
As the carrier-based aircraft drew closer, Barrett dared not slacken his vigilance in the slightest. The pressure he felt now was far greater than that of aiming the sights at a person's head, since even the slightest mistake could result in his being smashed to pieces.
However, orders from above are difficult to disobey...
Yes, military orders are hard to disobey; that would be a good reason.
"call......."
Open your mouth, close your eyes!
Then came a violent whistling sound...
The biting wind and his disheveled long hair made it difficult for Barrett to open his eyes.
But when she adjusted, she opened her eyes again...
This is modern warfare...
654 Anjie PART.14
"There are quite a lot of people here, it's going to be quite a lively fight."
Only from high above can one see the tip of the iceberg of this ruined city. Even though daily operations seem peaceful, conflicts occur every moment. The struggle between the military and Umbrella seems to never stop. From day to night, the coffee table with red wine and fruit, the quarantine zone with sewage flowing everywhere, are their battlefields.
"So our situation is not safe. Anjie may have encountered some serious trouble, which is why you need to be transferred quickly in this way."
But Barrett wasn't so enthusiastic about his job: "You'd have to ask our commander why we don't bring in more snipers. I'm doing the work of three men."
Sniping, counter-encirclement, diagonal sniping—if there were even one more person, she wouldn't be this busy.
"Let's focus on the situation ahead for now. Hold on tight, we're about to dive."
As the angle changed and the speed increased, stronger winds blew against Barrett, giving her a taste of the Fulton recovery system. Having served as a humanoid for so long, she had never experienced this kind of transfer method before.
Essex reiterated, "Landing location confirmed. Expected arrival in one minute. Be prepared."
"Wait, how am I supposed to land? I don't have a parachute!"
"Oh, right, I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me. Just a moment."
"What are you waiting for? We're about to land!"
Bang!
Something suddenly popped out of the carrier-based aircraft. Barrett instinctively reached out to grab it, and the moment she did, the object shrunk to its normal size and appeared in her hand.
"I'm sure you know how to use your parachute."
"..."
Well, it's better than being thrown to the ground. Barrett silently hoisted him onto his back and then focused his attention on the landing site.
"Coordinates have been assigned. Slow down. Landing in ten seconds."
"Five, four, three, two, one, jump!"
Barrett immediately released his grip, adjusted his parachute landing posture, and let the sniper parachute onto the battlefield. It was quite novel; he felt like he was on a surprise attack mission.
However, using a parachute also has drawbacks, which means that she will definitely be noticed by some people. After landing, she must be supported immediately and then relocated to avoid being surrounded again.
Once at a suitable altitude, Barrett pulled the pin to release the parachute. A recoil force pulled her along, and she began a slow descent.
After confirming the wind direction and adjusting her course, Barrett gradually became more adept at maneuvering and began guiding herself to the designated landing site. However, on the rooftop of the landing site, she saw a short-haired woman wearing a black coat and a white military cap.
"Isn't that...?"
After landing, because the Barrett itself was heavy enough, it was not carried far by the wind and inertia, so the process was very smooth, and the white-haired woman came to stand in front of it.
The other party greeted him politely: "Hello, Barrett."
"Tirpitz? What are you doing here?"
Tirpitz smiled faintly, then handed over a bottle of water: "If I'm not here, who will designate your landing spot?"
Barrett thought for a moment and then realized that ship girls are not machines and cannot accurately calculate the landing point and other detailed data, but if there is a colleague here, then reporting will be much simpler.
Tirpitz mechanically said, "This is my area of responsibility for fire support, but it has now become your work area. Hurry up and provide support, because we'll have to move to a different location together once it's done."
It seemed the other side had anticipated the problems that would accompany the parachute landing. Barrett didn't say anything more, took a sip of water to calm himself down, and immediately unloaded his sniper rifle and went to a fence with a good view to snipe.
In her line of sight, she quickly noticed the curtains being drawn back in the corridor of the North Campus, and the heat sources that were constantly running around.
“I see where you are, Ange.”
"Good to see. Now, did you notice that big guy behind us? Take him down!"
"clear......"
......
"We've already reached the fifth floor, and the target location is just a few more steps up. You still can't handle this guy?!"
Chris instinctively raised his voice, only to be met with an even louder response from Ange: "What's the rush?! We'll be done soon, just focus on your run!"
With things having come to this point, Chris had no choice but to continue running in silence, unable to move his men to another location. Looking back now, trusting these unfamiliar thugs was a terrible decision.
【boom】
"roar--------"
A loud explosion came from behind them. Everyone turned around and saw that a very conspicuous gap had been blasted into the monster's body. As the wound appeared, it roared in pain and moved faster, which proved that Barrett's sniping had worked!
"Keep going, Barrett. It's working!"
Seeing a glimmer of hope, everyone ran even harder, including the monster, whose speed noticeably increased, whether from anger after being injured or from the reduced weight of its body.
Anyway, it won't live much longer!
......
"Disruptor, I'm retreating. Suppress fire!"
"Roger that!"
After firing suppressive fire into the corridor again, Alpha continued running towards the rear corridor, while the Disruptor used its Gatling gun to continuously sweep the corridor. Here, they encountered the USS, not the military, so they could be more unrestrained in terms of firepower.
"Alpha, we've been attacked here. How are things on your end?"
Negev's agitated voice, accompanied by gunshots, came through the headset. Alpha, who had taken cover in the nearby corridor, responded: "Nonsense, we have quite a few people on our side, it's the USS."
"We're the military here, damn it, and we can't even hit them. Isn't this suppression just a waste of bullets?"
"That's what Ange said. They seem to be negotiating with the military right now, so we can't cause any casualties to the military, and we can't reveal our identities either. Just be careful and don't let anyone notice our appearance. After all, our clothes are still too avant-garde for modern times."
Not only are they women, but they also don't wear uniform combat attire; each has their own unique characteristics, making them quite eye-catching.
"I know, so I can only fight while running! Damn it..."
For them, the current operation was quite tedious, since the existence of the fire control system meant they couldn't just aim at the target and fire...
655 Anjie PART.15
"Damn it, doesn't this thing have any weaknesses?"
A single explosive magazine shot shattered the monster into pieces, but it didn't disable it. Instead, it grew faster and faster, and even the scattered pieces were still trying to reassemble into a complete entity. This was completely abnormal. If this continued, wouldn't it be impossible to kill the monster completely?
Ange glanced back, and even though the situation was dire, she could only try to reassure everyone: "You keep firing, we'll stall for a bit longer."
But in the end, they weren't sure how much longer they could hold out. The entire group had already run across the fifth floor and was about to reach the stairs on the left side of the North Wing. They didn't choose to run up to the sixth floor immediately because they were worried about attracting the monster there and causing even more trouble.
"Keep running down, back to the fourth floor!"
Upon reaching the stairs, the group ran down again, occasionally turning back to fire a couple of shots as a signal, but with little effect. It was more realistic to conserve their energy and continue forward.
Chris gritted his teeth and shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Dominic, what are you doing?! Come to the North Campus for backup right now!"
"Ugh! Damn it, we've got into a firefight with an unknown force at the junction of the West and North campuses. Their firepower is too strong, we're being suppressed!"
The noise from the walkie-talkie seemed to suggest that the battle on the other side was even more intense. Chris cursed under his breath, but Ange, standing next to him, wiped the cold sweat from her brow.
The firefight at the intersection of the west and north campuses most likely involved them fighting their own people. However, it seems the military has not yet confirmed their identities, and they are currently safe.
The only firepower we can count on right now is the Barrett rifle outside the window...
Kala----
Another strange noise was heard, accompanied by a sudden tremor underfoot.
AN94 suddenly realized something and shouted, "Run!"
The monster dragged its clumsy body and tumbled down the stairs, covering the floor and walls with its foul-smelling bodily fluids, but there were even more serious consequences.
The excessively violent movements and the accumulation of enormous weight caused the long-neglected staircase to become overloaded. AK15 realized this, then turned around and forcefully stomped on the broken section of the staircase on the ground.
boom!
Just like the middle staircase they had encountered earlier, it collapsed. It was unbelievable that this monster had the weight to crush the staircase.
Ange realized something and then used her earpiece to ask, "Barrett, how long did you see that monster?"
“It’s practically a centipede made up of corpse parts…” Barrett replied in a deep voice, then pulled the trigger again: “It’s long and incredibly ugly. I feel disgusted just looking at the grotesque face and limbs on its body.”
...It seems they misjudged the situation. Their limited angles and perspectives prevented them from seeing the monster in its entirety, but Barrett, as an observer, could see it clearly and was forced to endure a visual feast.
"But I can slice off the monster's upper body in no time..."
After saying that, Barrett switched to thermite magazine and aimed it at the fractured area near the monster's "head" that had been hit several times.
Tsk
The intense heat erupted from the monster's wounds. No matter how powerful it was, it was still just a carbon-based life form. After being hit by the exploding magazines several times, its fragile wounds could no longer withstand the burning of the thermite bombs. Soon, the "head" that had been baring its fangs at everyone fell to the side.
In the corridor, everyone finally stopped and looked at the monster behind them. It seemed that along with the damage to its "vital parts", the monster had also lost its life force and turned into a bloody, pus-splattered lump of flesh.
"Ugh, my god, this taste..."
Pierce pinched his nose and took a step back. His teammates, who were also human, quickly moved away from the corpse. Anyone with a normal sense of smell would find it impossible to tolerate this level of stench.
Seeing that the monster had stopped moving, Barrett breathed a sigh of relief and was preparing to pack up his weapons and move to another location.
"Something's wrong..."
RPK suddenly spoke, without ever putting down the weapon he was holding.
Ange leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"
"The heat source isn't dissipating; in fact, it's increasing..."
"Is it because of the blood flowing from the corpse?"
"uncertain......"
The military personnel breathed a sigh of relief, but the girls remained tense, as if there was still something they were worried about.
"If there are no other circumstances, let's go to the sixth floor."
Feeling the touch on her shoulder, Ange turned around, and Chris patted himself in acknowledgment.
"Well, let's go on."
The group was about to continue forward, but after taking only a few steps, they heard an indescribable wriggling sound behind them...
"what's the situation?"
The alchemist frowned, wanting to see what was going on, while Pierce patted his teammate beside him: "Go check it out."
"Ok."
A soldier, bracing himself against the stench, jogged toward the location of the dismembered body parts, then raised his gun to aim, remaining vigilant.
