The most dangerous story always comes at the most peaceful time. This seemed to be an eternal truth.
30 minutes ago, on the eastern coast of Mexico, this was one of the first areas where The Devil Gang first landed. Other than Mexico City, this was also the area where The Devil Gang had the most influence. After the Mutants entered the battlefield, this place naturally became the rear far away from the battlefield.
After nearly a year of construction, this was the first area to be ruled by the Mutants. Along the southernmost end of the long and narrow coastline, there were a total of three major cities, Cancun, Merida, and Chichén Itzá, as well as numerous small coastal towns. After defeating the local drug lords, the Mutants took over these territories. They did not drive the locals away, but only told them that this place would be managed by the Mutants.
You could not expect a group of people who lived in the chaos of war to have more opinions about the threat of the Mutants. In their opinion, if there was peace, there was nothing wrong with living with a group of strange humans.
Between people, there were different pursuits. Take Storm Lady Ororo's ancestors for example. In the United States, they would be criticized by the radicals as mutants, but in Africa, her family was called "God" and worshipped by the people. For the people of Mexico who had endured a long period of chaos, what they wanted most was not freedom and democracy. What they wanted was nothing more than a quiet and peaceful life.
"I've been to Mexico before, but at that time, I didn't think the environment here would be so good …"
The beauty in a dress, Jennifer, sat by the seaside pier, enjoying the breeze. She had drunk two glasses of wine at the bar earlier, so she was a little tipsy. Sitting beside her was a guy in a military uniform, holding a bottle of wine in his hand. Yes, that was our Second Lieutenant Beckett. He was currently enjoying a beautiful vacation.
"That's because Mexico used to belong to the drug lords, but now Mexico belongs to us … My dear, sooner or later, we will build a country that belongs to us here!"
Beckett laughed and took a sip of wine. He hugged Jennifer's shoulder, and the two of them sat under the blue sky and white clouds, chatting and laughing. Like Beckett, Jennifer was also an Epsilon Class Mutant. Her mutated position was in her eyes. If one looked closely, one would notice that Jennifer's eyes were yellow like a snake's pupils. It looked a little scary, but it did not affect the lady's beauty.
At least in this coastal town near Merida City, Jennifer was second to none. Of course, she was now Second Lieutenant Beckett's fiancée. In the competition between the seven young men, Beckett won the beauty with his shiny military rank and rich wallet. For the Mutants who were born in an orphanage, family and love were always the most precious things. Beckett also cherished his fiancée.
They had already made a promise:
"On the day our country is founded, let's get married."
Under the blue sea and blue sky, the two young people hugged and kissed each other. Everything was so romantic. Everything should have been so beautiful, but when Beckett left with his girlfriend, he looked back and suddenly saw a submarine periscope floating on the surface of the sea in the distance.
Beckett's eyesight was very good. This came from his weak ability. When he saw the dark periscope looking in the direction of the city, a sense of danger rushed to his face.
"What's wrong? My dear. "
Jennifer felt her boyfriend's body stiffen. She turned her head. Her yellow eyes twitched, and she saw more clearly. Beckett let go of his girlfriend's arm, picked up the phone at his waist, and quickly dialed the number of the Third Mexican Army's military commander.
"Gore! Gore, are you on duty? "
Old Gore, who was far away in the hinterland of Mexico, was watching a football game with a group of comrades. He picked up the phone and asked drunkenly, "It's Beckett. What's the matter?"
"I found a submarine by the sea! Damn it, it's not ours … They have at least six of them! Damn it! They fired missiles towards the city! Oh my god! "
"Boom!"
An explosion came from the phone, and Old Gore's drunkenness completely disappeared. He held the phone and shouted, "Hey!
"Beckett, answer me! Beckett! Damn it! "
In less than two minutes, the news reached Mexico City. Five minutes later, four high-speed fighters produced by Hammer Industries soared into the sky. The three legions on the Mexican battlefield received the order to fight. Except for the First Legion, which was stationed next to Dock Zero, the other legions were ready for battle in the shortest time possible.
"Fighter reporting!"
Lewis, who had the Brigadier General rank on his shoulder, stared at the relatively simple satellite image in front of him. He could vaguely see the black smoke rising into the sky. Ten minutes after the fighter set off, the first wave of reconnaissance news was sent back to the command center.
"Merida City was attacked by missiles. One-fifth of the city is in a sea of fire."
The scene made Harvey, the nominal supreme commander, forget to flip a coin. Looking at the corner of the city that was completely destroyed, the two people in the command center fell into silence.
"Who is it? America? Or … "
Harvey asked. Lewis shook his head. "It's not them. Their forces have already withdrawn from Mexico. If they wanted to carry out this kind of attack, they wouldn't have chosen to withdraw their troops. It should be another force."
"Ding ding ding ding!"
The phone beside Lewis's hand vibrated wildly. He picked it up and heard an urgent report from the Second Legion.
"Outside our defense line, a large number of aircraft are approaching, and obvious traces of paratroopers have been observed. No, no, not paratroopers, it's war mechs by air. There are a lot of them! Our position is under air attack! "
"Then fight back! Beat them back! "
When Lewis heard about a large number of war mechs, he had a guess. Among the current opponents of The Devil Gang, only one force was famous for its large number of war mechs. The Ten Rings Gang, a terrifying force entrenched in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
"Are they crazy?"
Lewis skillfully coordinated the logistical support as he shouted in disbelief. "Starting a war at this time, crossing the Atlantic Ocean to fight with us … They must be crazy!"
"It's not just a sudden war. This kind of thing shouldn't happen without reason!"
Harvey's fingers spun the coin quickly. He whispered, "If this kind of thing happened, there must be something behind it. We have to find the reason … I have a feeling that this is very likely the prelude to a conspiracy."
"Go find it! Harvey. "
Lewis hugged the documents in his arms and rushed out of the office without looking back. "The war has begun. I'm going to war. Wish me luck."
The war machine of Mexico, which had rested for less than three months, was once again in motion. There were three battlefields in three directions, and we were destined to only be able to observe one of them. So, let us set our sights on the eastern coast, where Merida City was attacked.
There were a lot of mutants, but the number of mutants gathered in Mexico was still small. Most of the people in these places were local residents. They did not know why the war broke out, but they had long since adapted to the rhythm of war. Of course, at that time, no drug lord would be crazy enough to bombard the city with submarines.
"Quick! Get out of here! To the shelter! "
Second Lieutenant Beckett, with a few temporary helpers, frantically organized people to take refuge in the small town where he lived. The Mexican government had a refuge here, but the problem was that there were not many troops in the rear of the Mutated Human regime that could be mobilized.
Jennifer was also helping on the other side. 30 minutes after the first bombing, they had mobilized five blocks, but it was clearly not enough.
"We need more people!"
Beckett gritted his teeth, took out his gun, and killed a bastard who was robbing on the street. Using the momentum of the killing, he shouted to the others, "There are enemies attacking our city. I need some real men to organize more civilians to take refuge with me. Let the women and children leave this place first! This is our home. If we don't fight for it, who will? "
"Who is willing to come with me!"
Beckett's shout echoed in the street. His tail was wagging behind him. This feature clearly proved his identity. In the crowd in front of him, a dozen mutants, old and young, immediately walked out. One of them was an old gentleman with dark green eyes. He was dressed in a refined manner, but his eyes were dark green, and he responded loudly, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"We're all mutants, brother. We'll go with you!"
"Good! We have more than 20 men now! "
Beckett's heart felt a warm sense of belonging at this moment, but the next moment, his voice rose again, "Are there more people?"
A few seconds later, a dozen more ordinary people stood out. That was enough.
"I'm the second lieutenant of the Third Mutant Army. My name is Beckett. Now we'll split into four teams and go in four directions. There are 17 blocks in our city. We must evacuate most of the people before the enemy's second wave of bombing arrives."
Beckett pointed in four directions. He turned back to look at the sea. There, six submarines floated on the surface of the sea like black steel monsters. He knew that it would take time for the submarines to reload their missiles, and they would pour most of their firepower on Merida City. However, the problem was that this small city was very close to Merida City. As long as one missile fell, half of the city would be destroyed.
There was not much time left for them.
"Beckett, oh my god, come with me!"
Jennifer's face was covered in black ash. She held two panicked children in her arms. Behind her, there were some fleeing women. She looked at her boyfriend and begged, "Come with me. They'll find a place to take refuge."
"No, sweetheart."
Beckett stepped forward and hugged Jennifer tightly. "I used to be a thief and a tramp in London. Now I have dreams. It's silly, but... I have to live up to my military uniform. Go, protect yourself. I'll be fine!" he said, "But... I have to be worthy of my military uniform. I'm still waiting to marry you. "
"Then come back safely! Bastard! "
Jennifer bit Beckett's lip. Her face was full of tears. "You have to come back! Do you hear me?! "
"Yes, I swear!"
Beckett smiled at his girlfriend with difficulty. How could he not be afraid? This was not a face-to-face shooting. There was still a chance of survival. Once he was hit by a missile explosion, he would definitely die. However, there were some things that had to be done.
Fifteen minutes later, Beckett and his brothers finally organized the chaotic crowd in the last block and led them to the shelter. This thing was a super-large bomb shelter. There were two more bomb shelters like this in other parts of the city. Beckett heaved a sigh of relief. He stood behind the crowd and looked at the sea in the distance. The submarines did not seem to have made their next move. This made him feel relieved. However, just as Beckett turned around, the heavy roar of engines suddenly entered his ears.
He looked in another direction. There, twelve small bombers painted with the Ten Ring Gang's logo were descending from the clouds. They spread out in the sky above Merida City. One of them was heading in the direction of the small town.
"No! Go, go quickly! "
Beckett's hair stood on end at this moment. He quickly pushed the stunned people behind him. The crowd also sensed the danger. They cried and screamed as they ran toward the shelter outside the city. Unfortunately, they could not outrun a plane.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A series of bombs fell from the sky, causing magnificent explosions behind Beckett. The continuous flames and shockwaves destroyed everything in their path. It was like the end of the world. Beckett, who was carrying a child in his arms, ran forward crazily, but in the end, he was still caught in the shockwaves of the explosion.
There were cries all around. Beckett, who was lying in the ruins, felt his vision darken. Sticky and sweet liquid seeped out of his nostrils and eyes. His skin was almost burnt. The child was also hurt, but at least she was still alive.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the last bomb falling slowly from the sky. The landing point was less than ten meters in front of him.
"I'm dead."
Boom!
The flames engulfed everything the moment the bomb hit the ground. Beckett, who felt the flames and shockwaves, closed his eyes in despair.
"We just want a home of our own … Why is it so difficult?!"
