Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

How to get out of this, Raphael asked himself.

The most brutal option is to call for air support from armed helicopters, using laser target indicators to guide AGM-114K Hellfire missiles and precision-guided rockets to directly eliminate the zombies at the front entrance of the car dealership.

They can take this opportunity to leave the town and head directly to the mountains where the E16 highway tunnel is located.

Raphael glanced at the sky outside and finally said:

"After daybreak, send an air support request as a naval reconnaissance team. Use the 5 Line briefing for the rotorcraft, select the first type of coordination, and inform the weapons officer of the armed helicopter to adopt the first type of close support mode."

"Why wait until dawn?"

"Because we have to give Joe Lindsay some face so that he won't blame us too much if something happens in the future."

After saying that, Raphael adjusted the communication channel, sent the report of the Enfield squadron to the fleet commander, and informed him of the decision to break out after daybreak.

The commander of the expeditionary strike group was also a wonderful man. The moment he saw the message, he realized that there was dislike within the task force.

After he determined that TF 1-41 did not need to stand guard, he immediately withdrew the AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter that was accompanying the task force, under the pretext of replenishing ammunition and fuel.

As for the Enfield team's scheduled request for assistance, he immediately arranged for it to be sent out.

He didn't understand why Colonel Lindsay stopped moving forward. If we were to talk about danger, the Enfield team acting alone would face greater danger - there were only four of them, so they could use flexibility to fool around, but they didn't even have a vehicle to use.

The advance teams sent by TF 1-41 each had two mine-resistant vehicles, and they appeared at the "Heisenberg Node" entirely on foot.

During these few days, the fleet commander's idea changed from "everything is going well and unimpeded" to "given the current level, we should just quickly retrieve the people and return home", at least to avoid embarrassing ourselves in front of the Soviets.

In fact, from the perspective of the Army Task Force soldiers, such procrastination is no different from that of a villain, a coward who is afraid of death.

But from Lindsay's perspective, he thought he should understand the conditions of the highway and the town of Inrin before making the next plan.

All I can say is that everyone has their own reasons, but no one can convince anyone else.

But late at night, the night officer of Felix's team discovered that some wild creatures had noticed their presence, and the tense atmosphere spread all of a sudden.

Felix had no choice, there was no longer any possibility of normal existence in Norway, in Scandinavia.

On the other side, in the car sales center, Raphael was awakened by a text message again.

Green Hui said that the whereabouts of Felix's team had been captured by the ELID distorted creatures, and they were speeding towards them.

"Why don't you turn around and go back?" This was her subconscious reaction when she heard the news, and then she said, "This is trouble."

The expeditionary strike group's armed helicopters returned to refuel and rest. Now the number of air units on duty in the airspace of the Bergen area is 0, and friendly units are being tracked by monsters.

Greenhui knew that the team led by Lieutenant Felix was having ammunition supply problems.

"Then there is only one way, we clean up the zombies near the sales center ourselves." said Luhui.

"Yes, we need to clean them up quickly, and then deploy our forces to snipe the mutant creatures that are following the convoy."

Raphael pulled out the magazines from his tactical vest, and including the one being used by the M7 SPEAR, there were a total of 6+1. The rest were bulk reserve ammunition, which had to be manually compressed after being emptied to be used effectively.

Unless she planned to temporarily transform the M7 into a bolt-action rifle, pulling the bolt handle once for each round fired.

"Wake up Lingyin and Fei Niao," she ordered.

Chapter 201 The match has no good ending

The goal of the humanoid team is very clear.

Get rid of the mess in front of you at all costs.

The old corpse caused by ELID has about 70 crickets, which is not a big problem.

Lingyin has two 200-round ammunition belts and a 100-round spare ammunition belt. If the humanoid fires at full strength, the hit rate of the XM250 can be increased to an extremely terrifying level.

Combined with three M7s, Raphael calculated the efficiency - the data samples were taken from the defense battle of the forward base in the port - if it was to be completely defeated, the barrel of this XM250 would overheat severely and would almost be scrapped.

But let it be scrapped, it is better than the sudden death of friendly units.

"Lingyin, it's your turn later." Raphael raised his hand and grabbed Lingyin's head twice.

Lingyin puffed out her cheeks and said, "I know that the life of this gun has expired early. Then I'll stay at the sales center and fire at a fixed point."

Raphael nodded and said:

"In short, we need to kill as many zombies as possible as quickly as possible. These zombies are very durable, so we should not waste bullets. We should prioritize shooting them in the head."

The three of them nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.

"Well, take your positions, then."

Raphael, Asuka and Greenhui took their positions, took out grenades and threw them at the group of zombies outside the door at the same time.

The sudden sound of metal falling to the ground puzzled them. They looked around but couldn't find any figure.

About seven seconds later, three loud noises were heard on the road.

After the violent explosion, everything seemed to return to calm. However, this calm did not last long, and continuous roars echoed in the night sky.

Raphael and Luhui rushed out of the door first, pointing their guns at the group of zombies that had not yet fully understood the situation.

A series of strafing shots began, and the explosive fire lasted for ten seconds.

The dozen or so ELID zombies in the front fell down directly, their heads full of holes.

In the brief interval of changing the magazine, a series of machine gun fire suddenly rang out in the car sales center, and bullets kept flying over heads.

Lingyin's shooting was not as detailed as Raphael and the others, but most of the bullets hit the swaying heads, and very few missed.

If the self-disciplined humanoid is freed from restrictions, it becomes unreasonable.

This is just the most basic function, and it can be easily achieved by replacing it with a military autonomous humanoid equipped with "Metis".

And that's why some people are afraid. Uncontrolled killing tools mean instability, and instability means threat.

"Move!" Raphael gave the order, quickly pushed away the abandoned vehicle blocking his way, and then threw a grenade without hesitation.

Asuka and Luhui quickly dispersed, guarding the left and right wings respectively. No matter who approached, they would offer three cold copper-cased and steel-core armor-piercing bullets.

"Come again!" Raphael quickly pulled the safety of the grenade, and as soon as he finished speaking, he threw the grenade towards the place where the zombies gathered.

Asuka and Luhui followed closely behind and threw grenades towards the location where the zombies were gathered.

Three explosions were heard immediately, and they all increased their firing rate at the same time, their fingers on the trigger guards almost pressing out phantoms.

Anyway, there's no one observing the situation at this time, so we first capture and lock the targets visually, then number them according to the degree of threat, and finally fire and deal with them in order.

Efficient and ruthless, the recoil of the gun seemed to be non-existent. The unruly M7 SPEAR battle rifle was unusually well-behaved in their hands, and there was no sign of its difficult-to-serve nature.

At this time, Lingyin emptied the second ammunition chain and immediately released the drone.

Raphael immediately opened the terminal and took a close look at the thermal imaging image sent back by the drone. It was almost cleaned up.

The battle to clear out the zombies lasted less than three minutes, and there was no living creature standing or walking on the road outside the main gate.

"It's not safe here, let's go!" Raphael turned his head and looked at the hill behind the sales center. "Luhui, tell the lieutenant where we are going. Remember to use the code."

"no problem."

Luhui made an "OK" gesture. When it comes to communication, none of her three sisters are as good as her.

The hill behind the sales center was not easy to climb. Not only was the slope steep, but it was also covered with wet moss. If you were not careful, you would slip. Even though the human figure was not made of flesh and blood, you would inevitably suffer heavy injuries if you fell down.

"Looking down from the mountain, the ELID creatures don't seem as hideous as they used to be." Lingyin said, looking at the monsters gathering at the foot of the mountain.

"After all, they are all transformed from humans. From a distance, they look not much different from humans."

Raphael felt a sense of desolation in her heart, and then she strangled this emotion. It was just the result of one's own actions. The Oslo explosion, also known as the "Northern Lights," was essentially a man-made disaster directed by people with different political views or factions.

When she read the relevant information, she felt that there was a shadow of the Heritage Administration. Its purpose is easy to guess: when there is a virus, you have to think about the vaccine. When the virus is gone, it will be difficult to sell the vaccine.

So, the best way to sell is to make it viral again.

How could it be possible to detonate a nuclear bomb and collapse the lattice at the same time? Raphael suddenly smiled, she was laughing at herself for following the conspiracy theory.

These thoughts flashed through her mind, but she said nothing, just sighed.

"Are you feeling unhappy?" asked the attentive Asuka after hearing the sigh.

"I...can't have any worries." Raphael answered frankly: "But sometimes it can be so heavy that..." She turned and sat down on a protruding rock on the mountainside.

"It's so heavy that I think maybe we shouldn't have been born."

"Nothing," Asuka said, even gently touching Raphael's sleeve as if to comfort her.

"We will go with the flow for a while, then blend in to seek opportunities and eventually achieve a reversal. Things have been worse in the past: you participated in a coup in Colombia alone; you searched for leaked collapsed lattices in New York alone... There were successes and failures, but it doesn't matter, we have a chance, and we will definitely have a chance."

"I was much freer then," Raphael blurted out.

"Not bad, or to be more precise, roughly good," Fei Niao agreed, and seemed not to notice, or just pretended not to notice Raphael's emotions, "But there are many things you have now that you didn't have back then, especially us."

It’s still the evolution of my personality, Raphael thought to himself.

"We were going to be reassigned to Germany no matter what the outcome here, you know?" she said.

“East Germany and the Stasi, right?”

"Yes," Raphael said after a moment's silence, "There are signs of trouble. Because of the suppression from West Germany and the influx of Eastern European refugees, it's a powder keg."

“We are matches.”

"The match never ends well."

Chapter 202: Standing Up

The silver moon hangs in the sky.

Some people have made big claims and exaggerated some things. TF 1-41 is still moving slowly, reluctant to part with its little pots and pans.

Felix's convoy did not arrive as scheduled. Rafael's air support for the convoy was cancelled, so she could only promise to pay for it herself and treat the crew to a drunken night at the small bar on the ship.

Reality has proven that no one was prepared, whether it was the later Soviets or the Americans who had a lot of support.

If potential is not realized, it will always be just potential, let alone fulfilling the mission.

Raphael was fully confident in thinking this way, because she understood the problem. She didn't want to underestimate it, but she had seen through everything and didn't want to sing the untimely praises of "everything went smoothly and without any obstacles".

Military investigations in Norway were fraught with difficulties. The steep mountains and valleys were a natural barrier, and there were no other options for mobility except by road.

The steep terrain, canyons carved by glaciers, and cities and towns spread out on the flatlands meant that they did not have many options for travel.

Tracked and wheeled vehicles probably cannot reach places that can be reached by legs.

Under normal circumstances, the tank and engineering companies of the task force would choose to crush civilian vehicles and forcibly open a passage.

"It's been three days." Raphael glanced at his watch. "Felix's convoy is nowhere to be seen, and the message sent to the task force has fallen on deaf ears..."

"It's been 67 hours since we set out," Lingyin replied.

"How's our communication with the fleet?"

"The sending and receiving are normal. The commander is also urging us to help the task force find out the situation in the town of Yingruien."

"Really?"

"It's true," Luhui looked directly into Raphael's eyes, and the content of his answer made people feel a little uneasy.

"But why can't we contact the task force? What do you think?"

"Because they are unable to do this. All their attention is on climbing the mountain. They have no time to deal with the news we sent back."

"Ah~" Raphael understood the task force's plan in an instant, "They chose the middle mountain road, which can directly cross the tunnel of E-16 Highway."

She took out the map, pointed to the mountain road they had come from, and continued, "Leaving without saying goodbye is a real jerk."

At this point, it can be said that the task force's actions have become extreme - most likely due to the withdrawal of armed helicopters by the expeditionary strike group.

Joe Lindsay may have accepted the Red Navy's suggestion. Of course, the firepower support in the deep-seated stage was provided by the Frunze. If they had taken a step ahead, their accusations would have been ineffective.

"Okay, let's contact Harry first and ask him for his advice on what to do. This is not in line with our character. Although every family has its own shortcomings, there is no reason to panic about Joe Lindsay's going alone."

What Raphael said at this moment sounded a bit like shirking responsibility, but things have come to this point and there is nothing that can be done about it.

"Let's find a hill with a strong satellite signal." Fei Niao said loudly, "We can't catch up with TF 1-41 anymore."

"Lingyin, release the drone."
