Chapter 302: On the Snow Mountain
Deep in the snow-capped mountains, thunderous sounds continue, now falling like raindrops in the silent and mysterious white expanse of mountains.
The hunters who had gone ahead were immediately pinned down on the hillside by the United States army that had already occupied the main camp, but the People's Red Army Central Column, which arrived later, relieved them at the most critical moment.
并不是每一支部队都能收到那支还仍然在试验期的XM16E1的，那毕竟还是实验性装备，这支部队大多还是传统的M14A3自动步枪，加上少数仿制自艾美兰西MG3通用机枪的M60通用机枪与M3A1冲锋枪。
Meanwhile, in the People's Red Army column, apart from the wounded soldiers who were carrying captured weapons, a large number of soldiers still carried AK-74M, PKM general-purpose machine guns, and SVD sniper rifles. These squad weapons, along with Kornet anti-tank missiles, RPG-7V2 launchers, and RGD-2 grenades, were able to effectively suppress active-duty infantry squads of the United States in close-range combat.
After all, in such close-quarters combat, the most important factors are not the power or accuracy of a single bullet, but the sustainability of firepower, the density of firepower, and mobility.
With the gun cocked in front and attached to the back, the bolt was pulled, and then the trigger was pulled. The battle to storm the snow mountain camp was resolved in less than half an hour. In this small battlefield, the red flag was finally raised.
Alice saw Sherry and immediately headed towards a corner of the camp, where an ancient stone tower, about five meters high, appeared to be a creation of the indigenous people. Outside the tower, a modern facility had been erected with a steel frame.
"Come and help!"
Alice heard Sherry muttering to herself. Alice could see the magical runes flowing on the magical artifact, its lower language, which was now glowing red, with red wavy lines on most of the variables in the language.
That's a sign of a missing call or no reference; some of these variables, even if still complete, are actually useless because the call is missing.
In short, it's no longer effective. Alice can see this massive system; it's not a magic balance system that can be built in a short time.
"It's over...it's over...they destroyed the second core! What happened? How did they cause a magic overload?"
Rafis brought over a prisoner at just the right moment. Sherry turned around and looked at him coldly: "What's going on here? Who gave you permission to touch this thing?"
The prisoner glanced at the machine, then at Sherry, whose eyes were practically spitting fire, and stammered, "This...that...Jack said he wanted to see what treasures were inside, but didn't know where to start, so he used a bayonet and a rifle butt..."
"Do you even know what you've destroyed?!"
Sherry roared, her voice so loud that several soldiers in the camp thought someone was firing a gun.
"This thing has protected the entire state of Northern Louisiana for the past decade!!! And you're just going to destroy it like this? Do you know how many people died building this thing? My parents died because of it!"
Sherry kicked the prisoner in the face. In the snow, the prisoner felt a sharp pain, saw stars, and fell headfirst into the snow.
"Alright! Without this thing, we're all doomed! In less than five years, this weird thing from Northern Louisiana will have spread all the way to Miami!"
Sherry swung the wrench, and the prisoner could only put his arms over his head: "No...it wasn't me, it was Jack, Jack just died from your guns...it wasn't me..."
Seeing this, Alice stopped Sherry. Rafis pulled the prisoner aside at the right time. Sherry pretended to try to get past Alice, but only struggled a few times.
Alice's strength was terrifying; even in the wind and snow, her slender arm was enough to stop her, and Alice half-pushed and half-forced her to the machine.
"How much of this is missing?"
Alice looked at the missing machine, and Sherry handed her one magical etching plate after another: "The most crucial part is the high-precision magical circuit board manufactured by the Emerald Magic Future. The price of it is enough to buy a cruiser. This one was put into use in the last two years; the old one has aged and failed."
Alice looked at the object in her hand. On the substrate, the circuits and core logic processor were laid out one by one. In the middle, there was a knife mark, a blunt force impact mark, and several circuits caused by magical short circuits that broke through the circuits, ultimately rendering the core logic processor unusable.
Alice's core logic processor, about half the size of a finger, represents the pinnacle of the world's magical industry. It's a magical version of a product developed by imitating the electronic computer processor of an international scientific instrument company.
"It's not something easy to manufacture..."
"Of course... Even now, the advanced industrial machines like lithography machines are monopolized by Amerlane."
Sherry stood up and gazed into the distance—she saw a black mark between the mountains, a black scar that hadn't changed in ten years, now stirring restlessly.
"Calamity has awakened..."
The number of hunters was no longer sufficient to resist. Since the birth of civilization on this continent, the hunters of this land have been fighting against calamities, and they have inscribed the deeds of their predecessors in murals and recorded them on weapons.
The hunters silently packed their belongings. The old hunter looked shakily into the distance and said, "Young lady, you should hurry..."
The hunters loaded their bullets and blew the horn of the main camp. The distant sound of the horn echoed through the mountains, shaking off the snow. Hunters scattered throughout the state could hear the horn's deep, snow-like sound.
"Old man..."
"I thank you outsiders, you are good people... but things have developed to this point, and only we can handle it. It's just... another big hunt."
The old hunter said, but everyone knew that the number of hunters still on the list today was less than half of those who perished in the "Great Hunt" back then.
"And Sherry, my little Sherry, you, go with them too."
"No, old man!"
The old hunter said resolutely, "We've been planning to get you out of North Louisiana since your parents' generation. You shouldn't stay here, my little eaglet."
The old hunter pulled a notebook with a slightly worn cover from his pocket and handed it to Sherry: "That's what your parents left behind, and that's all that's left."
Rafis, standing nearby, winked at Alice: "By the way, Alice, if you want to help them, Alert II will arrive in five hours. They have the necessary equipment on board. Captain Sabrina said she's ready to fight the alien disaster..."
“Very well, then let’s face these damn things together. By the way, Rafis, ever since I remembered the past, I’ve had a question.”
Alice looked at Rafis and asked, "Mother Alicia, and Sister Raffarin, where did they go?"
