Chapter 878: Longyou Shuangzixing (12)

Within the squad, a young Greyhound soldier looked at those resisting rioters, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

They were also forced into a corner with no other choice but to resist; if they had been given even a shred of hope for survival, things would not have turned out like this.

"Aim at the targets! Fire at will!"

Several miners who were throwing rubble at the Greyhound soldiers were quickly struck by several energy beams, collapsing powerlessly in the mining tunnel.

This young Greyhound soldier walked forward and glanced at the rioter he had killed; the rioter was even younger than he was.

"Private Cole! What are you spacing out for! That gap to the front right! Fire!"

The Captain noticed Cole's abnormality and hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

All their current actions were being monitored; if they did not carry out orders, they would likewise be labeled as "potential rioters," and at that point, their families would also suffer the consequences.

Cole raised his weapon to aim at the gap the Captain indicated, discovering a curled-up miner.

"Captain... he... he has no weapon..."

"They are rioters! They are insurgents! The order is to kill on sight! Fire!"

"But..."

"No buts! Cole! Do you want to face a military tribunal? Think about your family!"

Cole was startled; if his family in the Lower District of Liuli City were implicated because he disobeyed orders...

Just then, that miner began to flee inward.

"Target moving! Eliminate him!"

Cole fired subconsciously, an energy beam striking the miner, who fell straight to the ground and stopped moving.

Seeing this, the Captain spoke to Cole again over the communication channel.

"Cole, on the battlefield, if you hesitate, you die, or the brothers beside you do. Execute the order; this is our duty..."

"Understood, Captain."

The Captain reached out and patted Cole on the shoulder, comforting him.

"This is not a fate we can decide; don't think too much, that will only make you suffer more."

On the other side, a Greyhound squad that entered the No. 58 Mining Area settlement encountered resistance from rioting miners within the mining tunnel. After killing the Liquidators, these miners used energy pistols to scrap several mechanical overseers and took advantage of the situation to seize some usable weapons.

In the communication channel of this Greyhound squad's Captain, an urgent prodding from superiors rang out.

"Third Platoon! What are you doing?! Why have you stopped advancing?! Suppress the fire point on the left for me!"

Behind a bunker on the left, several soldiers were crouching.

"Sir... over there... it seems there are women and children..."

"I don't care what is over there! They are the rioters' cover! Either they die, or our Task fails! Think about the consequences of a failed Task! The Liquidators are watching from behind!"

The soldiers fell into Silence.

A few seconds later, the sound of a woman's scream and a child's crying came from behind that bunker, but it stopped abruptly.

"……Threat on the left cleared."

Brigadier General Breken's high-pressure tactics temporarily curbed the further expansion of the Riot, and control over the main traffic arteries and Production Zones was gradually reclaimed.

Longyou Shuangzixing. Mi-You Star. Liuli City Lower District secret node.

The news of the miner Riot on Kafu-Long Star quickly spread to the Lower District of Liuli City.

And at the intersection of abandoned pipes in the Lower District, members of the "Survivor" organization also received this news.

"No. 58 Mining Area... they actually pulled it off! And they slaughtered two black-skinned dogs!"

A man disguised as a maintenance worker said to the other figures in the darkness with an excited tone.

"Is the news accurate?"

A female voice rang out from the shadows.

The maintenance worker nodded and said affirmatively.

"Certain! Fragmented information from three different channels all matched up! It's chaotic over at Kafu-Long now, the 'Greyhounds' are suppressing it, and many people have died... but many brothers have also rushed into the abandoned zones!"

A relatively steady male voice rang out in the darkness.

"Earlier than we anticipated... too early... our preparations here are not yet sufficient; weapons, medicine, and safe transfer routes are far from enough..."

Before the words were finished, they were interrupted by another voice.

"There is never a time when preparations are sufficient! The brothers at Kafu-Long have torn open a gap for us with their blood! We cannot watch them be wiped out! This is our best chance, and it might be our last!"

The man who spoke walked forward slowly and continued to speak.

"I believe we should launch a response immediately! Mobilize everyone who can be mobilized!

Primary target: Destroy the Energy Distribution Center in the West District, create large-scale chaos, attract the attention of the 'Greyhounds', and lighten the pressure on Kafu-Long!

Secondly, paralyze the Freight Elevator Control Node leading to the surface as much as possible to delay the speed at which they mobilize 'replacement Assets' and reinforcements!

Since the matter has already happened, we have no choice but to bite the bullet! Once the 'Greyhounds' stabilize the Riot at Kafu-Long, no matter how well we prepare here, it will be useless! Everyone, what do you say?"

After the other figures in the darkness were silent for a few seconds, someone answered.

"Understood! Then let's move the plan up and give it a shot!"

"It's not much different anyway, let's do it!"

"Let us fight for a way to survive!"

Longyou Shuangzixing · Mi-You Star · Liuli City · Ziyuan Tiaodu Administration.

Lia sat before her data terminal, looking at the scrolling personnel transfer data on the screen, feeling that the personnel transfers today were too frequent.

【Instruction Source: Kafu-Long Garrison Command.】

【Content: Requesting emergency requisition of... energy magazines... stun Hand Grenades...】

【Instruction Source: Kafu-Long Administration.】

【Content: Requisition approved... additionally, requesting priority replenishment for mechanical overseer losses in the 7th, 13th, and 58th Mining Areas...】

At this moment, Lia discovered a communication with a lower encryption level; sensing something unusual, Lia looked around, and seeing no one was paying attention to her, she clicked open this communication fragment.

【Internal communication fragment】:

"... District 58 cleared, approximately 170 rioters killed, our side has three minor injuries..."

"... District 13 resistance is fierce, requesting reinforcements of at least one squad..."

【Personnel deployment: Approved for Company B of the Third Battalion of the Liuli City garrison to proceed to the Lift Platform Hub to strengthen security...】

Seeing this, Lia hurriedly closed the communication, her heartbeat quickening significantly.

Did a Riot happen over at Kafu-Long? And the Fengqi garrison has entered Liuli City to control the important Lift Platform Hub.

Even the Regular Army has been mobilized; just how serious must the Riot over at Kafu-Long be?

This news must be told to the "Survivor"!

They might not yet know that the Regular Army has also been mobilized; this will affect their plan!

But... the martial law order has not yet been lifted, and leaving her post during work hours will definitely be discovered by surveillance.

Furthermore, the time she agreed upon for passing information is during the brief gap of the late-night shift break.

What should she do?
