Chapter 110 Dulles Restarts Successfully
"Hold on, I'll be there soon." Lu Mingfei said, his voice low but firm. It reached the ears of every ranger soldier through the communication channel, like a reassurance on the battlefield.
On the rebel position opposite, armored vehicles and heavy machine guns formed a steel fire net, bullets rained down on the sky, and dense bullets whizzed through the air.
On the distant hillside, there was a howitzer roaring from time to time, with huge tongues of fire spewing out, accompanied by the sound of shells breaking through the air and the subsequent ground shaking.
If the enemy's heavy firepower support is not resolved quickly, the Ranger troops will suffer heavy casualties.
The fighter jet swooped down from the sky again, lowering to an altitude of less than a hundred meters from the ground, flying at high speed close to the ground. The airflow from the vector nozzle swept across the earth like a gale.
Lu Mingfei's sight passed through the fighter's HUD screen and instantly caught sight of the flickering flames on the enemy's positions. His fingers slid quickly on the control panel. The fighter's 30mm machine gun made a low roar, and flames spurted out of the muzzle. Ammunition poured out like a rainstorm. The armored vehicles and machine gun positions were instantly riddled with holes, and the explosions sounded like thunder.
Then he suddenly pulled the joystick, and the fighter drew an elegant arc above the ground, and then cut into the blind spot of the enemy position from the side.
Before the enemy had time to adjust their energy, he had already pressed the launch button, and the last few missiles streaked across the sky, piercing into the rebels' heavy firepower positions with their tail flames.
"Boom!" With a deafening roar, the enemy's defensive position was instantly engulfed in flames. A huge fireball rose from the ground. The hot air waves swept in all directions. The surrounding buildings were shaken by the violent shock wave. The entire area seemed to be in doomsday.
After this round of shooting, the ammunition on the plane was basically used up. He turned the fighter around and quickly flew to a safe place to land. At the moment the fighter plane was slowly landing, Lu Mingfei unbuckled his seat belt and flipped out of the cockpit swiftly.
His feet landed steadily on the ground, the engine of the fighter plane behind him was still roaring softly, but he did not stop for a moment. He quickly pulled out the assault rifle from his waist and ran quickly towards the battlefield ahead.
"All troops on the front line, follow my command! Suppress the enemy and advance to the server building!" Lu Mingfei shouted orders while charging.
The soldiers of the Ranger Unit responded quickly, advancing in batches to cover each other, and the sound of gunfire rang out again.
Lu Mingfei fought side by side with the soldiers. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. He aimed his assault rifle accurately at every enemy soldier and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Every time a shot was fired, the bullet would tear through the air with a sharp whistling sound, knocking the enemy down in a pool of blood, and the situation on the battlefield instantly became white-hot.
Fire suppression and position advancement were intertwined in the chaotic battle. The rebels tried to fight back with the remaining heavy firepower and rocket launchers, but under the fierce offensive of the Ranger troops and the door frame robots, they gradually lost the power to resist.
"Brother Lu, we have broken through the enemy's defense line and are approaching the server building!" Xu Yanbo's voice came from the communication channel, with timely joy and panting.
“Very good, you lead your men to continue advancing and I will be there soon!” There was no trace of relaxation in Lu Mingfei’s tone. Now was not the time to celebrate. The real victory would only come when they took down the server building and completely defeated the enemy.
Now Xu Yanbo can only lead his men in first. He has to clear out the rebels outside before going in. Otherwise, they may be attacked from both sides after they all go in.
The sickle-weasels covered the entire battlefield and continuously transmitted the enemy's position to Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei formed a map of those coordinates in his mind. He began to defeat the rebels one by one according to the map. After an unknown amount of time, the rebels outside were finally wiped out.
They did not hold back and killed all the rebels. Now was a matter of life and death for humanity. They had no time to guard the prisoners and had to strike hard.
After the cleanup was completed, Lu Mingfei led the rest of the ranger soldiers and rushed towards the server building at a rapid speed. The surrounding area was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and blood, and the main entrance of the server building was right in front of them.
The sickle-weasel flew again and passed the information in the building to Lu Mingfei. There were heartbeats in every corner of the server building, which meant that there were still a large number of rebels hiding in the building.
There were loud gunshots coming from somewhere in the building. That should be the place where Xu Yanbo had just led his men to rush in. Lu Mingfei immediately led his men to that place.
But at this moment, a violent explosion was heard from that location.
"Xu Yanbo! Xu Yanbo! Please reply if you received it!" Lu Mingfei's heart sank when he heard the explosion, and he immediately called Xu Yanbo using the communication equipment.
But all I heard from the headphones was a rustling sound and the sound of electricity.
At the same time, Kamaitachi captured the movements of more rebels. They were quickly gathering from other corners of the building and rushing towards the area where the explosion occurred, like a group of wild wolves smelling blood, preparing to launch a final attack on their prey.
"Damn it! Everybody speed up!" Lu Mingfei first cursed in a low voice, then said to the other soldiers behind him.
All the ranger soldiers adjusted the power of their exoskeletons to maximum. Now was not the time to save power. As the power of the exoskeletons was adjusted to maximum, Lu Mingfei and his team increased their speed again.
They were so fast that they seemed like dark shadows passing across the battlefield and heading straight for the main entrance of the server building.
The server building was in a mess, the walls were full of bullet holes, the ground was pitted with holes, and the air was filled with dust mixed with the smell of blood and burning, making it suffocating.
Through the hazy smoke, Lu Mingfei could vaguely see the bodies of the rebels lying on the ground in the corridor, as well as the bodies of one or two rangers.
He held the assault rifle tightly in both hands, his cold face expressionless, but his eyes revealed a sharp gleam of urgency and anger. There was only the sound of wind and chaotic electric current in his ears. There was still no response from Xu Yanbo on the communication equipment, but the Kamaitachi detected some faint heartbeats and intense gunshots in front.
Lu Mingfei led the soldiers to advance quickly in the direction where the gunshots came from. Everything in front of him became clearer and clearer. Not far ahead, he saw Xu Yanbo and his team.
Xu Yanbo's figure fell among the ruins, his exoskeleton armor had been shattered by the grenade explosion, blood was oozing from the wounds on his body, his face was full of fatigue and pain, but his hand was still tightly holding the assault rifle, shooting at the rebels in the corridor next to him. Next to him, several ranger soldiers fell in a pool of blood, their life or death unknown.
"Xu Yanbo!" Lu Mingfei finally saw him, his heart suddenly tightened, he quickly shot and killed several rebels in the corridor in front, then leaned over and helped Xu Yanbo up from the ground.
Xu Yanbo raised his head weakly, his face pale, but he still forced a smile: "Brother Lu... I can still hold on."
Lu Mingfei checked his injuries and said sternly: "Don't be stubborn, our mission is not yet completed."
"They... occupied the server main room and their firepower was too strong..." Xu Yanbo gasped, his voice weak and intermittent.
"How many rebels are there?" Lu Mingfei asked in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping ahead like a knife.
"At least... there are still dozens of people and a lot of heavy firepower weapons..." Xu Yanbo said with difficulty.
Lu Mingfei's eyes were solemn. The server main room was the core of the entire building. Once the rebels completely consolidated their defenses, the situation would become more complicated. He had no time to waste and had to quickly retake the main room, otherwise the entire mission would be in vain.
"You stay here, I will lead the others in." Lu Mingfei gave the order decisively. "Brother Lu... be careful, their weapons are too powerful..." Xu Yanbo gritted his teeth and wanted to go in with them, but he knew that at this time, he was powerless.
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything else. He stood up and quickly looked at the several elite ranger soldiers around him, his eyes filled with determination and coldness.
"Everyone listen to my command. Target the main computer room and attack with all your might. We must take back control!" Lu Mingfei's voice was low and firm, with unquestionable majesty.
The soldiers nodded, adjusted their equipment, and stood ready for combat. The exoskeleton emitted a low humming sound, like a beast ready to pounce at any time.
Kamaitachi's perception expanded again, like an invisible net, capturing the movements of all the rebels in the building. The rebels in the main computer room had extremely strong firepower, but their defense line was not impeccable.
Lu Mingfei raised his hand to signal, and the team members quickly dispersed, sought cover, and prepared to launch the final assault.
"Action!" Lu Mingfei roared in a low voice and rushed out of the bunker first. His figure was like a black shadow, quickly shuttling through the narrow corridor. The assault rifle in his hand was like the scythe of the god of death. As soon as the rebels' gunshots rang out, the bullets had already accurately ended their lives.
For a moment, the sound of gunfire and explosions resounded throughout the building again. The battle was as fierce and rapid as a storm. The firepower intertwined, the tongues of fire flickered in the narrow corridor, and the blood and fire were intertwined into one.
The rebels deployed heavy firepower at the end of the corridor, even using rocket launchers and grenade launchers, completely disregarding the structure of the building, intending to use fierce firepower to block the advance of the Ranger troops.
But Lu Mingfei still calmly commanded the team to advance. Each of his bullets hit the enemy accurately. He interrupted the grenades and rockets just as they were about to be launched. The rebels' defense line began to be torn apart bit by bit, and the firepower gradually weakened.
But at this moment, accompanied by a low roar, a strong metal storm suddenly came from the end of the corridor. It was a Vulcan cannon! The huge muzzle was spitting bullets crazily, and the entire corridor was torn into a piece of iron rain. The bullets bounced in the narrow space, as if the whole world was submerged in this metal storm.
The power of the Vulcan cannon was terrifying. Wherever it went, bunkers were easily penetrated, walls were blown to pieces, and the ranger soldiers were forced to shrink into corners and unable to move forward. The enemy was obviously willing to use this heavy weapon to defend the last line of defense at all costs.
"General! What should we do now?" A ranger soldier looked at Lu Mingfei anxiously. The powerful firepower of the Vulcan cannon left them with almost no place to stand. If they continued to hide, they would only be eaten away bit by bit.
Lu Mingfei looked at the bunker in front of him that was riddled with holes, and then looked at the increasingly frantic Vulcan cannon, and frowned slightly. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"I'll charge forward soon! You guys follow me, understand?" Lu Mingfei said decisively to the ranger soldier beside him, his voice leaving no room for doubt.
The ranger soldiers were stunned for a moment. They knew very well the terrifying power of the Vulcan cannon. Any flesh and blood body would be vulnerable in the face of such a fierce metal storm. However, military orders were as firm as a mountain. After a moment's hesitation, they all nodded.
Lu Mingfei glanced around and then acted quickly. He turned around and found a shabby metal door, and forcibly removed it from its hinges with his bare hands. His movements were neat and powerful, and he held the door panel high in front of him like a makeshift shield.
Although the outer layer of the door was covered with iron sheets, it was still vulnerable to the power of the Vulcan cannon. However, Lu Mingfei did not intend to rely on this door to block the bullets. His eyes were cold and his steps were decisive as he rushed towards the direction of the fierce fire from the Vulcan cannon.
The moment he rushed out of the bunker, the muzzle of the Vulcan cannon sprayed out hot bullets. The violent rain of metal bullets instantly turned the door into a sieve, and iron sheets flew everywhere.
However, after the bullets penetrated the door panel and hit Lu Mingfei's skin, a crisp metallic impact sound was made. Those powerful bullets were unable to penetrate his bronze skin!
Word Spirit Bronze Throne
Lu Mingfei didn't care at all about exposing his strength at this moment. The bronze light covered his whole body like an indestructible armor, blocking all attacks. The bullets from the Vulcan cannon came like a storm, but he still rushed forward resolutely, his eyes emitting bright golden light.
The moment he rushed in front of the Vulcan cannon, Lu Mingfei raised the door panel that was beaten into a sieve high and smashed it hard on the muzzle of the Vulcan cannon.
Sparks flew and the Vulcan cannon was instantly silenced by his tremendous strength. Then he swung the door panel and swept it across, knocking the surrounding rebels to the ground. Blood splattered and screams rang out.
"Keep moving forward!" Lu Mingfei panted and shouted loudly to the ranger soldiers behind him. At this time, his clothes had been torn into pieces, and the bronze light was slowly fading away, but there was no trace of scar on the exposed skin.
The ranger soldiers stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, but did not stop for long. Lu Mingfei had already opened a passage for them, and they quickly followed his footsteps and rushed towards the server host room.
The door of the main engine room was blown open during the fierce battle. Everything inside was in ruins. The room was littered with pierced server equipment. Cold light flickered in the smoky air, and the smell of burning was pungent and strong.
The remaining rebel soldiers were desperately putting up a final resistance, but they were completely powerless to withstand the fierce attack of the ranger soldiers.
A few minutes later, the battle was over and the enemies in the room had been completely cleared. Lu Mingfei looked around and confirmed that it was safe. He quickly contacted the command center: "The main engine room has been recaptured. Now we are starting to restore the server."
"Received! Please follow our instructions." The command center responded quickly, with a hint of urgency in the voice.
Since all the technical experts brought here died on the way, now only soldiers like Lu Mingfei can try to gradually restore the Durex root server according to the remote guidance of the command center.
Lu Mingfei walked to the operating table. The system on the screen was recovering slowly. As he operated, he watched the progress bar move forward bit by bit. Sweat dripped down his forehead, but he remained focused and calm.
"Enter the last password now..." The voice from the command center came again.
Lu Mingfei entered the password as instructed, and the progress bar on the screen finally reached the end and became 100%.
"The Durles root server has been successfully restarted." A calm report from the command center came through the communicator. The surrounding ranger soldiers breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and their tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
At this time, the follow-up reinforcements and medical personnel arrived. After the seriously injured Ranger soldiers were simply bandaged, they were quickly carried on stretchers and sent to ambulances or helicopters. Lu Mingfei stood there, watching the medical team carry the unconscious Xu Yanbo onto the helicopter, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He looked at the watch on his wrist and the time showed that there were still seven hours before the moon fell.
"Have the other root servers been restarted successfully?" Lu Mingfei immediately contacted the command center to inquire about the overall progress.
"The root servers of BJ and Tokyo have not been restored yet. Everything is normal with the BJ dispatch team, but... wait, the Tokyo dispatch team... all members of the Tokyo dispatch team were killed!" The communicator's tone was calm at first, but then became anxious and uneasy.
Lu Mingfei frowned suddenly, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart: "What's going on? What happened?"
"A large sea monster appeared near the Tokyo root server! Preliminary judgment is that it may be a mutated creature caused by the nuclear leak accident more than ten years ago..." The communicator's voice was full of panic and shock.
Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
