NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 161 Victory is imminent

"Reporting to the commander, the key facilities in my direct defense zone, including power plants, mines, refineries, steel mills, etc., have all been occupied by androids."

"What did the technical department say?" The commander became increasingly panicked, but still tried to remain calm.

"The technical department just sent a message that they are unable to communicate with the outside world. They have been working hard according to the instructions, but they cannot achieve the expected goal." The messenger reported.

"All energy should be sent to the technical department. We must succeed." The commander forced himself to calm down. This was his only hope at the moment.

"Report~~~"

Another messenger rushed in,

"Commander, the YoRHa androids have already attacked our base camp and are engaging the base's reinforced garrison. Our army is already at a disadvantage."

"Report~~~"

"I...a fortress with 100,000 garrisons..."

"how's it going?"

"It's GG..."

The commander felt weak and stepped back unconsciously.

For a moment, it seemed as if it saw death waving at him.

calm down!

He desperately tried to think of a solution to buy time for the technical department.

"Order the special operations forces to attack and set up an ambush on the path of the androids."

In my ears, Pleasant Goat still echoes, repeating over and over again,

The cheerful children's voices interweave with the shadow of death, creating an eerie melody and playing a series of notes for their demise.

……

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work."

The remaining 40-odd members of the YoRHa unit responsible for the Tokyo operation have gathered in front of the fortress. As long as they eliminate the garrison, they can capture the base and disarm the mechanical creatures in this city.

Ye Feng gradually felt relieved. Everything was going smoothly. He looked at 2B with anticipation.

The latter pretended not to see it and turned his head to the other side proudly.

"Report: The back door of the bunker has been detected to be invaded by enemy life forms." Assist 154 reported.

Ye Feng was shocked and asked quickly, "What happened?"

"The enemy's attack on the bunker server was ineffective," Assist 154 reported.

"Well done, system, I love you!"

At this moment, a serious female voice came.

"Issuing the combat order now," 2B, the captain, ordered:

"9S and 9M will advance for reconnaissance, and the rest of the combat team will follow in threes. Squad A will occupy the factory's power generation facilities, Squad D will take down the factory's defense facilities, Squad T will attack the steel plant, Squad O will occupy the weapons depot, and the rest of the squads will follow me to directly attack the enemy's command system."

"learn!"

9S and Ye Feng looked at 2B, who was giving orders so heroically, with eyes full of admiration and love.

"I love her so much!"

The battle is still going on.

"Brother, the back door of the bunker was attacked just now, but it didn't work." Ye Feng said to 9S who was accompanying him.

"The machine lifeforms are still evil." 9S cursed.

The two groped their way forward and gradually reached the outskirts of the factory.

"Is it so quiet?" 9S asked in confusion.

"Come out!" Ye Feng shouted. He already felt that the normal silence around him was a little abnormal.

Hundreds of mechanical life forms jumped out from all directions and landed perfectly.

Ye Feng and 9S took out their swords and prepared to attack.

Suddenly, all the mechanical lifeforms' heads popped up, revealing two rows of EMP coils on their necks.

For a moment, the EMP coil emitted a dazzling white light.

"Brother! EMP!" Ye Feng sneered.

“I saw that.” 9S sneered.

9S put up the EMP shield and blocked the enemy's first wave of EMP attacks.

"Auxiliary machine!" Ye Feng ordered.

Assisted Machine 154 spewed out flames, smashing the mechanical lifeform into pieces.

Ye Feng raised his sword and slashed it down, the heads of the mechanical life forms rolled down, and the engine oil flowed back into a river.

Ding ding,

“9S…EMP…”

2B's intermittent requests for help came from the pod.

"What's going on?" Ye Feng asked in surprise.

They searched all the way forward, trying to find where the enemy came from.

"Report: The enemy machine can block the signal by itself, and the enemy's response cannot be detected." Assist 153 reported.

"The mechanical life forms have actually learned to let go of the vanguard reconnaissance troops and attack the vital points in the middle." Ye Feng said.

"9M, you deal with the enemies here first. I'll go rescue the main force." 9S said hurriedly.

"Okay big brother."

……

2B led the other team members to advance in a three-three formation.

Walking to a meadow,

Suddenly, thousands of mechanical lifeforms jumped out from the ruins, bushes, and trees, surrounding the YoRHa team members. Their heads popped out, revealing the EMP coils on their necks.

The team members were caught off guard, and in an instant, a large amount of EMP shock waves swept through the YoRHa team members on the periphery.

2B, who was at the front of the team, was hit hard and lost her fighting ability on the spot.

The members in the center of the team received less damage, and despite the discomfort in their bodies, they drew their swords and attacked the enemy's EMP special forces.

2B calls for help from 9S, then draws her sword and goes forward to engage in battle with the enemy.

9S ran all the way and finally arrived at the battlefield and joined the battle.

Specialized mechanical life forms are equipped with EMP shields and EMP launchers, and their number is huge.

Gradually, the YoRHa members fell to the ground one by one due to the impact of the EMP, with sparks coming out of their bodies.

Under YoRHa's super strong combat power, a large number of machine life forms were killed.

Finally, all the mechanical life forms on the battlefield were hacked to pieces, leaving only 9S on the battlefield. He swung his sword to kill the last mechanical creature and hurriedly ran towards 2B.

"Are you okay, 2B?" 9S helped 2B up from the ground and restored her body functions.

2B felt like she couldn't breathe. With shaking hands, she hugged her head tightly, which was aching as hell. 9S helped her take off her heavy helmet. 2B gasped for air.

"What's going on, 2B?" 9S asked nervously.

"It's okay." 2B felt weak all over and tried to move her arms. Then she looked around:

"Go save the others, 9S."

Due to YoRHa's advanced nature, they are able to face the impact of EMP head-on, and their body functions will gradually recover.

Apart from the dozen or so YoRHa members who were killed in the initial ambush by the machine lifeforms, there were still more than 20 left.

"This should be the enemy's last resort. These evil guys have done so much harm." 4B kicked the guy lying on the ground hard and pointed to the mechanical fortress two kilometers away. "Let's go."

The Yorihashi gathered their forces and continued to march forward in formation.

No one noticed that behind them, a small group of mechanical creatures with slightly strange behavior poked their heads out...

……

"Report to the commander, special forces..."

"What's going on?" The commander asked the messenger mechanically, nervously and expectantly.

"...The entire army was wiped out." The messenger said in despair.

The commander dropped the sword in his hand to the ground, making a crisp sound, just like the broken core of his mechanical life form.

"It's over! It's all over..."

"Commander, don't give up hope!"

The adjutant rushed forward, firmly supported the commander who was already unsteady on his feet, and then shouted to the others:

"Protect the commander and leave!"

Without saying a word, several mechanical soldiers gathered around him, ready to escort him away.

But he was pushed away by the commander.

"Let go!"

"command!?"

The adjutant looked at the commander with a puzzled look on his face, and couldn't help but comfort him loudly:

"Where there is life, there is hope."

"No need..." The commander waved his hand mechanically and shouted sternly: "As the highest commander of the defense zone, the base camp is about to fall. My men are fighting to the death, why would I flee in the face of danger!"

After a pause, he looked at the silent soldiers around him and said softly, "Miss N2's server is not that easy to use. Once our information is uploaded, we will never be able to get out."

A personal soldier listened to his words and murmured, "Yeah... It's no different from being dead."

"After all... that person's idea..."

"It's not something that we, the soldiers, can figure out..."

Everyone fell silent, and an atmosphere of despair lingered in the command room.

At this time, a messenger rushed in mechanically, breaking the silence again.

It was just the atmosphere in the room that made him afraid to speak.

The commander shook his head, trying to clear his mind. He calmed himself down and continued to ask:

"What did the technical department say?"

"They are already working hard. Many technicians' CPU circuits have been burned out, and their bodies are still at their posts..."

The commander was sad and took off his military cap: "They are all great..."
