As Skiff reached out to pull him back, he fired a burst of shots at the balcony where Raphael had just been. He kept firing to ensure that the shooter could no longer fire from that position.
"Can you find the enemy sniper?!" he asked the mechanic who was on overwatch while checking the mouse's injuries.
"No, he left the spot he was in."
Alpha threw another small apple forward, and when the sound of the explosion faded away, he asked, "How is the mouse?"
"Damn it, we gotta get out of here. The rat's hurt!" Skiff yelled.
"How's the injury?"
"Fuck, there's so much blood, it looks like it's from an artery."
"Leave me alone, guys!" Rat pulled out his magazine and stuffed it all at Skiff. "Get the hell out of here..."
Before he could finish his words, all the bullets flying from the street hit the rat, saving him the pain of struggling before death.
"Mechanic, cover us. Prepare to disengage from combat." Alpha said after firing a low-pressure grenade.
"Skife, how's the rat? How's the rat?" The mechanic pressed on, "Tell me, how's he!"
"The rat is dead, the goods are 200!"
"Mechanic, the rats have been delivered 200." Alpha repeated.
"Get out."
Skiff packed up the magazine that Mouse gave him, turned and rushed diagonally to the cover behind Alpha, and then began to cover the captain's retreat.
Raphael found a new shooting point, just behind a bay window, the window was not broken, and the transparent tulle curtains provided a perfect cover. She aimed at the man standing in the front and shooting.
Suddenly, Alpha's heart skipped a beat, and he left his original position in a quick step, sliding into the back of the wreckage of a car.
Just as he left, there was a crisp clanging sound and his forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat.
Damn sniper!
Alpha unloaded the magazine and threw it into the recycling bag, then took out a new magazine from the magazine bag of the tactical vest and loaded it. He quickly looked over and then decisively activated the pulse.
But the familiar feeling came again. Although four targets were captured for a moment, they all flew into the sky and into the ground in strange ways.
What they want is right here.
It's not the agent who is gradually retreating on the road, but the shooter who has not yet appeared. He is the core target of the team's trip.
Before arriving in New York, their superiors, or employers, sent them a message saying that they must defeat it and recover its body no matter what.
But now, he has lost another team member, while the other side has obviously gained help.
The situation became 4 to 3. The fighting quality of the few people added by the opponent was slightly worse than theirs, but it had not reached a desperate situation.
The scales of victory and defeat were perfectly balanced at this moment.
"Mechanic, are you done over there?" Alpha pressed the PTT button and called the squad sniper who was doing something unknown.
The mechanic did not answer, but used the radio to make noises of varying lengths and told the captain in Morse code that he was in stealth mode and could not make any vocal contact.
At this time, Raphael had already heard faint footsteps. She deliberately created some noise, and then placed the XM5 assault rifle, which had run out of ammunition, behind the door, so that the enemy who came up from below could only see a little bit of the muzzle.
She stood at the door of the apartment diagonally opposite, listening to the footsteps with her eyes closed, with her pistol pointed at the fragile apartment door, waiting for her prey to take the bait.
Chapter 103 Camp David Press Conference
The mechanic paused, leaning against the stairwell wall, listening carefully to the faint sounds coming from the apartment.
Half a minute passed, no breathing, no footsteps, he heard nothing.
He checked the alley leading to the back door of the apartment. It was surrounded by garbage and caltrops. It was a dead end that no normal person would go on.
Suddenly, he saw the gun barrel hidden behind the crack in the door and immediately curled up and leaned back.
Raphael caught the details of the sound and fired continuously through the door. She didn't aim at the upper body, and all the bullets went to the enemy's lower body.
A pistol is barely effective against an armor-piercing target, let alone through a door. The moment the magazine was empty, she pushed open the door and rushed forward, grabbing the mechanic's weapon in one go, then raised her right leg and did a roundhouse kick.
The mechanic felt a shock in his abdomen, and a strong pulling force tore his arms that were holding the weapon.
The weapon in his hand fell out of his hand and the whole person flew backwards.
In the chaos, he realized that the other party was definitely not human. The dark red light emitted from the other party's right eye was extremely bright in the darkness.
This was the high-value target their team had been searching for. It was really risky.
Hearing the ping-pong sounds coming from the stairwell, Raphael drew his combat dagger and rushed down.
"So, why do you want to provoke me?"
When the knife pierced the throat skin, warm blood flowed out from the gap. The man struggled for a moment, and then turned into a brand new corpse...
Raphael sat down with a thud, and the body's over-limit warning started again. A series of errors and warning data kept refreshing in his mind, this time it was his left arm.
As he swooped down, he collided heavily with the stair railing.
Raphael performed a makeshift self-examination while removing the stealthy attacker's headphones and radio.
"Mechanic, please reply."
She found the PTT button and said provocatively in Morse code: The mechanic you wanted is dead. He died tragically. I took off his two meat balls and crab stick.
There was silence over there, and the expected outcry did not happen. Raphael took off his headphones and called the Centaurs Squad.
At this time, the sound of gunfire on the street stopped and both sides withdrew from the battle.
On the other side, Alpha did receive the message sent by Raphael. He just closed his eyes, took a deep breath, raised his hand and patted Skif on the shoulder, then left the battlefield from another direction.
Doug Sutton walked out from behind the bunker, looked at the now safe streets, and exclaimed: "What a decisive team, they are not trapped by emotions at all."
He re-positioned his gun and searched the combat area bit by bit to make sure that the place was completely under their control.
"Hundred-eyed Giant received, the scene has been cleared and is safe." Doug replied.
"I'm in the apartment on the second floor, just south of your location." Raphael answered and took out the bandage again and wrapped it around his head.
This is mainly to avoid exposure of identity.
We should never underestimate humans. This was the profound lesson she learned from the two battles last night and tonight.
At the same time, in order to prove that they have not given up New York, the Wall Street government held a press conference at Camp David and publicly announced that the federal government has now raised enough supplies, and the US Navy's Nathan James destroyer is rushing to New York with a sufficient amount of influenza vaccines.
For the first time, the spokesperson acknowledged the existence of the SHD and expressed the highest respect for the agents working hard in New York on behalf of the president.
Without their actions in the contaminated area, the Federation would not be able to obtain the most original virus strain samples, and the development of the vaccine would not be able to proceed smoothly.
At this point, the federal government's war against money flu has officially achieved the first stage of victory.
In mid-January, the first batch of trial-produced influenza vaccines were distributed to the U.S. military and various emergency departments.
At the beginning of February, the amount of medicines collected in the federally managed drug warehouses had reached the standard, and the support plan was officially launched. Taking into account the navigation conditions at the mouth of the Hudson River, Waller directly decided that the rescue work would be carried out under the leadership of the navy.
But the spokesperson stressed that the two-way blockade measures in the New York area will continue.
The good news is that the Federal Marines will open a landing site at Camp Hudson and accommodate the refugees who are unfortunately stranded in New York.
Although this crisis will end with a relatively ideal outcome, the federal government has paid a heavy price in the process.
When selecting reporters to ask questions, the reporter asked the question that everyone wanted to know, that is, when will New York return to normal and whether the people who were forced to leave their homes can return to their homes.
The White House press secretary is very experienced. He knows that if he is perfunctory and keeps beating around the bush, the reporters will classify his answers as invalid, which will then be ruthlessly edited out and finally the reporters will publish the content they have fabricated that newspaper readers like to see.
That would be more troublesome. So you have to make it clear and interesting.
He had to say that the New York National Guard would withdraw from its garrison areas in downtown New York in an orderly manner after replacement troops arrived.
This has raised new questions. A reporter mentioned the video footage that circulated on the Internet not long ago. Why did the Federal Army abandon a part of the Ranger Battalion that was carrying out a rescue mission deep in Manhattan?
The spokesperson smiled slightly and attacked the reporter who asked the question:
“Obviously you didn’t read the White House’s white paper on the current situation in New York, which answers your question in detail, didn’t you?
The Rangers had been in contact with us, but at that time the Qian flu virus was at its worst, so we could only order them to occupy a part of the city and try to maintain order in the city. "
"But according to the information, they didn't get any supplies."
"If you are willing to move your fingers and investigate the movements of the Air Force transport forces, you will know that we have been airdropping a large amount of medical and daily necessities to New York since January. In addition, the ground logistics channels have never been interrupted."
The reporter who asked the question was speechless, and the spokesperson smiled slightly. With this level, it was too naive.
Even if the reporter who asked the question wants to continue to argue, he will find that he cannot get the information he wants from the White House press secretary.
The trump card has not been used yet. The New York SHD Homeland Security Bureau forward base not only shelters a large number of stranded refugees, but also strives to maintain order in New York and restore the supply of water, electricity and other essential elements of life in modern society.
What abandonment? That does not exist. It is just a distorted statement made by an ambitious person. It does not make sense from a logical point of view.
Besides, abandoning hundreds of people like this would cause a lot of trouble.
Chapter 104: Orderly Departure
Raphael stood up from the ground, covering her left arm with her right hand, and looked at the three silent people in front of her with her remaining half vision. She looked back and asked, "Where is the team member who accidentally ate the contaminated food?"
"Arki was dead. The grenade exploded next to him and his body was shattered on the spot."
Doug took a deep breath, forced out an ugly smile and asked, "How did you do this? Eyes, hands..."
"It's a long story. I fought my way out of the trap that the survivor army set for me, and then I fought two rounds with the team you just fought, and that's it."
Cecilia hesitated, but still asked:
"What should we do next? In our current state, it is impossible to complete the recovery mission. Going back to the dark zone is undoubtedly suicide. I don't want to hand my life over to those crazy ELID infected people."
"Yes, the collapse fluid recovery mission has failed. I have already communicated with the higher-ups."
Hearing Raphael's words, Cecilia bit her lip lightly. Seeing the frowning spy lady, Raphael felt a little surprised. It turned out that such a strong person would also show some ordinary people's expressions.
"The ELID radiation level in a considerable part of the quarantine zone has approached my upper limit. In addition, my physical condition does not allow it, so the bureau approved our evacuation application."
This should be considered good news, but Doug and Tony looked at each other and made a tacit decision. Cecilia's attention was still on Raphael's injury. She glanced at the girl's left arm and tried to help bandage it.
Raphael guessed the captain and Tony's choice and asked Cecilia directly: "The evacuation platform will be in place in two days. What does Cecilia think?"
"There's nothing I can do about it." Cecilia said, "I want to leave here, but..."
Dongni said calmly: "It's impossible for all stories to have perfect endings."
"Manhattan has been almost completely looted by those bastards. If you stay here, there's almost no chance of survival! It seems like I have to stay here."
"I object to that," Doug said. "It would only increase our burden and reduce the chances of survival."
"I understand that." Cecilia leaned against the wall. She felt extremely painful to abandon her companions like this.
Doug decided to put the question aside for now and asked, "Rafael, where is the evacuation point you mentioned?"
"At the southernmost tip of Manhattan, near the United States Merchant Marine Memorial. We will use yellow smoke as a signal. The evacuation method will be the surface SDVT assault transport fleet, and they will be responsible for the response."
There is a Peninsula War Memorial next to the evacuation point. The green vegetation nearby is quite good and can be used as a cover. It is no problem to hide 4 people.
"What about the evacuation request?" Cecilia asked.
"It's easy to get on board, but once you get to the safe zone, they'll conduct a medical examination on you, and if you show symptoms of ELID mutation, you'll be dealt with."
This condition is the bottom line. If you pass the inspection, you are a human being. If you fail the inspection, you will probably be sent to an unknown research institute to be a monkey, and there is a small chance that you will be shot directly.
Because ELID infected people will emit a certain amount of collapse radiation, their existence is like a mobile collapse radiation source, which is not only violent but also extremely dangerous.
Although the research on relic technology and products has been going on for more than half a century, humans have only scratched the surface of what they can do.
The development of drugs to prevent ELID radiation sickness is a major breakthrough in recent years, and it can be regarded as a protective umbrella that can barely protect ourselves.
Raphael knew this very well, but she couldn't tell anyone.
"We still have 48 hours," Doug looked at his watch and suggested, "It's not safe here anymore. Let's leave first, then find a place to rest for 8 hours before heading to the evacuation point."
"I have no opinion."
"Me too."
Raphael heard their answer, nodded, went back upstairs to retrieve the XM5 assault rifle, and then left the apartment under their cover.
At this time, Alpha and Skiff, who had successfully escaped from the battle, had rushed to their safe house and used the JTF joint operations force's communication antenna to send a battle report to their employer.
They described in detail the two battles with the US military's bionic combat dolls. Although they had suppressed them with perfect coordination at one point, the bionic combat dolls still tried and achieved effective counterattacks under such unfavorable conditions, and even put the BEAR team into an embarrassing situation at one point.
More importantly, once the bionic combat humanoids received manpower support, they immediately had room to perform.
The tricky choice of sniper position and firing timing was amazing, which directly caused the BEAR team to lose a valuable assaulter in the attack.
