Volume 1: Rainbow of the Old World Chapter 12. Helm under the Pillow
"Battle alert!"
Lu Yuan was stunned for a second, then jumped up and screamed: "Alert! Paratroopers! Combat attire!"
The assembly area exploded immediately. Everyone rushed to the equipment room and put on their space combat suits. Lu Yuan urged the crowd, grabbed the emergency communication button and put it on his helmet. He picked up his rifle and shouted: "Hurry up!"
Lu Yuan finished his preparations first, rushed back to the assembly area, counted the number of people who had registered, and began to quickly roll their names. Halfway through the roll call, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar, and someone said in disbelief: "It's a zero-point destructive bomb!"
Without turning his head or looking at the holographic projection behind him, Lu Yuan roared: "Shut up! Keep clicking, Zhang Chengzhao!"
"arrive!"
"Shen Qiuyi"
"arrive!"
There were continuous rumbles outside the ship, but this had nothing to do with Lu Yuan! His duty was very simple, gathering his subordinates and responding to orders from his superiors at any time!
The ship's broadcast was accompanied by a mute voice: "This ship is under enemy fire, red alert! Everyone..."
The broadcast was suddenly cut off, and the light source in the assembly area was extinguished. It took a long time to switch on the emergency energy source. Lu Yuan glanced at the flashing red light, pressed the communication button, and listened to the extremely chaotic channels. All channels were repeating. One sentence, one sentence that made his hair stand on end.
"Prepare for impact!" Lu Yuan shouted.
Before he finished speaking, an overwhelming force instantly sent everyone flying, as if the entire space was tilted backwards. Even the rapidly rising gravity restraints could not stop the paratroopers who were thrown away. The paratroopers were dressed in combat uniforms. Shang Ke struggled in the air for a while, but those who came in a hurry were slapped against the wall by the overwhelming pressure, and those who came after him came like a torrential rain. Even Lu Yuan could only be carried away. In order to get out, he suddenly crashed into the unexpectedly built human wall.
…
"Personnel self-examination, commander of the 28th Parachute Group, Captain Downing, number 106684398, personnel health assessment: poor, multiple fractures, permission to inject 200 mg of fentanyl."
The sharp sound in his ears gradually echoed from far away to near. Lu Yuan suddenly woke up like a drowning person who was rescued. He gasped for air, stood up with a splitting headache, and fell down again. Lu Yuan bit his tongue. Root, the pain forced Lu Yuanxing to turn his mind and barely stand upright holding on to the butt of the gun.
"Ahem, paratroopers, stand up, ahem." Lu Yuan coughed heavily. When his eyes finally stopped being blurry, he saw clearly that paratroopers with broken hands and tendons were everywhere, and he couldn't even hear a few wailings.
The wall at the end of the assembly area was covered with broken helmet fragments and red and white blood marrow. Lu Yuan's trembling hands helped a comrade at his feet whose chest was deeply sunken. The warmth was still there, but his breath was gone.
Sparks flew from time to time in the suddenly silent assembly ground. Lu Yuan staggered across. He couldn't understand why these paratroopers who were still alive a moment ago suddenly became silent. He was shouting and roaring, and all he could hear was himself. ’s response, but he finally heard the response from others.
"Boss!" It was Zhang Yueyang's voice. Lu Yuan was overjoyed, knowing that this guy wouldn't die! He shouted: "Wake him up quickly! First aid!"
"We're doing it! Boss!"
The paratroopers who finally survived the extreme gravity subversion desperately rescued their companions. Regardless of what the loud broadcast was saying again, they dug through the pile of dead people and carried out the dying paratroopers who were still breathing.
Lu Yuan injected an injection of first-aid fluid into a seriously injured paratrooper beneath him, pulled the medical bag with his hands and feet, and pushed away his hand covering his throat. A cut ripped open the paratrooper's throat. He wanted to say something.
What, it turned out to be a "ho ho ho" sound. Lu Chuan tied a tourniquet on him and frantically searched for the things that were supposed to be there.
The nano-therapeutic device in the medical bag, he shouted, "Medic, medic! Who has the treatment device! The treatment device!"
While Lu Yuan kept turning his head to call for help, he comforted the paratrooper and said: "You're okay, your situation is very good, we'll go home soon, hold on!" Seeing that no one was helping, he had to rush to the medical soldier to copy it.
He started the treatment device, but when Lu Yuan stepped on the corpse again and returned to the paratrooper, he found that he had no breath.
Lu Yuan immediately knelt down on one knee, started cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him, and gave him artificial respiration one after another. With each breath, Lu Yuan kept calling the paratrooper's name, but in response, Lu Yuan only received a pair of distracted eyes.
Hitomi.
The emergency lights shone on Lu Yuan's green-grey face, and the broadcast became clearer: "Attention! Attention! Black alert! The area has lost constant pressure, and all personnel in the area must evacuate immediately! Repeat! Black alert!"
Lu Yuan's hands froze, he raised his head, swallowed his sorrow, tore off the paratrooper's nameplate, and then shouted: "Everyone, leave with me!"
But this time not everyone obeyed the order unconditionally. Many paratroopers were still rescuing their comrades who might never wake up. Lu Yuan dragged a medic who was still pressing the chest of the dead paratrooper, but was opened by his backhand.
Howling: "I can save him! Just a little bit! Just a little bit! You go first!"
"He's dead!" Lu Yuan shouted, and it took three people to drag the medic away. He waved his arms wildly and shouted, "We are paratroopers, and we will never leave a single person behind!"
Lu Yuan's heart was as sharp as a knife. He continued to persuade and drag away the paratroopers who were unwilling to leave. He heard the loud bangs of air-tight doors slamming down. Inert gas began to fill the assembly area. Lu Yuan dragged
The last paratrooper left and manually closed the hatch.
Suddenly quiet, Lu Yuan could no longer restrain himself and punched the hatch. For a moment, the surviving paratroopers were silent, their heads hanging down, not knowing what to do.
But Lu Yuan knew that there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at his back, knowing that they were all counting on their captain to do something. Lu Yuan dug his hands through the cabin door, took a deep breath, stood up straight and turned around, his eyes majestic.
, looking at the face of every paratrooper, his voice was quiet.
"The black alert indicates that the fleet is fighting at close range, so the enemy will definitely invade through the gap created by the zero-point bomb. We have to go to the nearest deployment base and kill the imperial brats who dare to break in!"
Lu Yuan clenched his fist and smashed the hatch behind him, and said hoarsely: "If nothing else, at least so that the brothers behind the hatch can go home intact without having to be burned into ashes and taken back!"
"Follow me, paratroopers."
The corridor was shaking continuously, and all the portholes were closed. A group of paratroopers bypassed many air-tight doors before reaching the deployment base with great difficulty. As soon as the last person stepped into the base, the extremely heavy airlock was completely closed.
The deployment base was in an uproar, with people fleeing from various adjacent secondary areas everywhere. Even the light mecha maintenance room with a pungent smell of oil was filled with a group of frightened female civilians.
Most of the Marines of the Corona were engaged in the all-out surface battle to seize Eagle Valley. These ordinary fleet civilians were used to the days when the Corona was invincible. Who had ever experienced the fear of the enemy coming to their doorstep?
This forced Lu Yuan to fire a warning shot and shout: "Combat troops! Get out of the way!" He pushed aside the crowd blocking the special dispatch channel for combat troops, and squeezed in front of the combat readiness officer on duty in an extremely uncomfortable manner.
"Captain Lu Yuan, commander of the 28th Parachute Infantry Group, report in!" Lu Yuan saluted, but the combat readiness officer was already exhausted when he suppressed the restless crowd with just a bullet. Seeing the paratroopers, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty and casually returned the salute to Lu Yuan.
Invite him to come to the console alone.
But when Lu Yuan heard that the combat readiness officer wanted the paratroopers to maintain order, he immediately darkened his face and scolded: "We are paratroopers, not a third-rate picket team! I need the battle situation!"
Lu Yuan glared at the combat readiness officer, and simply called up the battle situation information himself. However, after only looking at it for a moment, he frowned, pointed at the damage map inside the ship and said, "What is this? You have been here without moving for a long time?"
The combat readiness officer said with a sad face: "The zero-point destruction bomb damaged the No. 2 main reactor at the rear of the battleship. The energy supply in this area is insufficient, and it is likely to break away from the main body! There are not enough manpower, what can I do?"
"Where is our escort fleet! How could the enemy get so close?"
"Where's the fleet!" Lu Yuan shouted.
"I don't know!" the combat readiness officer said hysterically. He flipped through the console and switched to the last scene of the surveillance. The screen showed the Imperial fleet emerging from the wormhole and firing at the main gun of the Corona cluster. The leading ship was
Kyushu-class standard cruiser with hull number "49".
The veins on Lu Yuan's forehead jumped wildly, and another violent earthquake came. He had to hold on to the railing to avoid falling. Dust fell, Lu Yuan held the combat readiness officer's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure the reactor is just
Injured? Not destroyed?”
"Yes! If the bridge was confirmed to be destroyed, in order to avoid the reactor explosion, the entire reactor area, including ours, would have been separated from the ship's hull long ago!"
"Very good." Lu Yuan said. He waved to another paratrooper to collect the heavy equipment in the base. Then, when the combat readiness officer was astonished, he took off his pistol and stuffed it into his hand.
"Follow your responsibility and summon all available hands to get the reactor running again! My people will ensure that no Imperial guy will interfere with you during the maintenance."
The combat readiness officer was about to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Lu Yuan's sharp throat-cutting gesture. He said coldly: "This is our ship. If you dare not do this, either you will shoot yourself, or I will shoot you to death!"
"
After speaking, Lu Yuan turned back, picked up his rifle, fired several bursts into the sky, and shouted: "All combat troops present! Gather at the end of the dispatch channel immediately! All engineers, bring reactor maintenance tools, follow us!
"
After seeing the backbone, the crowd gradually stopped commotion and made way for the combat troops. Hundreds of soldiers in different costumes quickly gathered at the blockade door. Several people even started their mechas. More engineers stood behind.
Doctrine and military status finally restrained the panic for the time being.
The blockade door was gradually raised, and the road leading to the engine area was dark. Lu Yuan called the higher-ranking officers in other troops, and referring to the floor plan, he said: "The Imperial guy knows very well that the reactor of the Corona is not working, and it will definitely happen."
Send landing troops to invade while the fleet is engaged in close combat. Here, here is the waste sea gate, and here is the entrance to the electromagnetic cooling circle. These two places are the easiest targets for enemy landing troops."
Lu Yuan continued: "It is still unclear to what extent the reactor was damaged. As long as it is not severely damaged, engineers will have to go inside for repairs to prevent antimatter from spilling. The loop area of the reactor must be preserved. The ship's security forces and military police
If you are more familiar with this area, I will leave the loop line to you."
The security forces wearing white helmets agreed. Another cooling circle was guarded by the Marines. The outermost and most dangerous Tonghai Gate was naturally handled by paratroopers.
Lu Yuan drew several straight lines and some defensive support points on the plan, and arranged the first, second and third lines of defense as well as the allocation points of echelon firepower.
The blockade door was raised to the top with a clang, and Lu Yuan sent out the revised floor plan and said: "The reactor must not have an accident. We can die, but we must survive until reinforcements arrive. Remember, we serve the universe.
Alliance!"
"Serve the Zhou Alliance!" Everyone said in unison,
Chapter completed!
