All Time Marksman

Chapter 93 - Adversary

"Sir Safe Zone Alpha has responded to our distress call Sir" the communications officer looked at the Ensign as he was still looking at the monitor that was flashing in front of them. As the 29th Squire Squad was still able to hold out the rebel cell as long as possible. 

"Proceed for the evacuation, notify the squire squad to retreat inside the walls." The Ensign said as he saw that they are being pushed back by the increased numbers of Rebel cells. "Charge at them! We are not going to falter for the cause of the Wolf PACK!"

The rebel cell minion charges forward, but because of the turrets that were still being manned by new personnel, the Squire sQuad was able to retreat inside the walls. But they have 1 fatality which is the swordsman. 

Meanwhile, Jin was still firing at the rebel minion that was were on the ground. "One Shot, One kill For Qiao Jiao this for you" After 20 minutes the Rebel cells were now regrouping at the outer space of the outpost.

But then they were surprised when a Ravager helicopter suddenly appeared above them. And then aimed its rotary machine gun at the rebel cell soldiers that were on the ground. The bullets were made to damage even for Players and users. 

"Retreat!" one of the rebel cell minions shouted, to encourage others to halt their charge. Because they saw not only 1 Ravager helicopter but 4. Those Ravager helicopters are one of the most equip attack helicopters that were discovered and produced by the N.D.A.M to support units on the ground.

After that, the Rebel Cell forces retreated as they were met by the Ravager Helicopters. The Ensign was astonished to see Ravager Helicopters that were flying over at the outpost which made him quite grateful. But sadly they still need to destroy the whole outpost due to the whole place has been breached. 

Jin goes to the back where an Eagle Bird helicopter was waiting for the whole Squire Squad and even the support unit. He saw the logo of the Eagle bird Helicopter and it was not D but it was A. And from that Jin felt a bit strained about the situation they are in. 

After the Eagle bird started flying above the outpost. The Ensign looked at the open window and as he sees through it he pressed the detonator, and after the Eagle, the bird was able to fly away from the outpost.

The outpost exploded 6 times. Each building has planted a bomb so no kind of technology may be used by the rebel cell. Even though that the Rebel cell minion retreated with their Players and users with them. As they were chased by the Ravager helicopters that keeping firing missiles and machine gunfire.

Fang Shirong, Qi Meili, and Han Zian were all looking down on the steel floor of the Eagle Bird that they were on. It was painted all over their faces that the loss of one of the members of the Squire Squad was a huge blow for them.

They did not expect that Qiao Jiao will fall, but they have to admit that the one they fought was an expert killer from the Rebel cell side. Jin's tears drip from his cheeks and the other saw but Jin quickly wipes them off.  ``Shi- Qiao Jiao Argghhh~`` Jin clenched his fist and tries to hold off his tears from dripping. the pain in his heart grew as it affected him from that moment of loss.

They arrived at the Safe Zone Alpha, the Eagle bird landed and the door opened. The first one to get out of the Eagle bird was wounded and most of the wounded were the swordsman that was with Fang Shirong. They were strolled down by the ramp that opened from behind the Eagle Bird.

After that Fang Shirong, Qi Meili, and Han Zian saw the airfield that the Safe Zone Alpha has built. It was really wide and it was bustling with different kinds of planes and helicopters. 

Jin saw the Ensign being approached by a few officers that were with the Safe Zone Alpha. Jin knows of the uniforms that those are officers due to the rank on top of their shoulders that signifies the rank of seniority and that they are officers.

After Jin and the other were approached by an officer in a white uniform. And as they approached by the well-built officer. She then said, "Who is the squire squad leader?" Qi Meili looked at Jin and Jin replied with "I am the Squad leader."

The officer then said "Please follow me, while you squire squad will be guided by my assistant here. Please all of you follow him except for the Squad leader" And Jin nodded. And soon enough all of them followed the assistant, and they were guided towards their quarters.

After that Jin entered an office and there were full of Squad leaders based on their uniforms they are rank as Specialist First Class. And as he entered the office there was a man that was standing in front of the woman from earlier left the room and now Jin did not know why is he there or why he is summoned to the office.

And the man that was standing in front of almost 12 Squad leaders, not including Jin. Were all worn in a uniform of white but there was a Red stripe on their chest. And as the bearded man that was in front of them started to speak.

"Welcome to Alpha. We are here to tell you that you will be deployed into a mission. But because there is one of us here that does not belong to Alpha I wish you all will guide him" 

All of the Squad leaders looked at Jin as if he was like an outcast. Some of the Safe Zone have different cultures and different types of society some Safe Zones were welcoming and some were not.

And After that, the Squad leader once again focused at the front. And the bearded man in a uniform of an officer that is rank specified as an Ensign. 

And the man turns around and a hologram video flashes behind him it was a field operation codename pegasus. The mission was to recover a specimen that was grabbed and being studied by a group of rebel cell scientists in a location in the region south of Safe Zone Delta. The mission will be lead by the 1st Squire Squad and the other will follow Specialist First Class Zhu De.

After the video ended the bearded man looked at Zhu De the 1st squire squad Squad leader. After that, he was called to the stage. And then looked at each and everyone including Jin that looked like a battered squad leader that already faced many foes in battle.

"Now, our teams are composed of 12 units and 13 including the unit that came from Delta that will be joining us in this mission. And now we are going to e separated into 6 each and 2 teams Alpha Team and Bravo Team. Once split the Alpha Team will head towards the left-wing of the laboratory that will be infiltrated by the use of the weapon called Metalic liquidator. This weapon is used for making a metallic wall into liquid form and from that, we can enter the place. Both Teams will be able to use this weapon"

After he said that Zhu De grabs a remote and then clicks and a hologram once again appeared but now it was in the middle of the room and they were all looking at the hologram. And Zhu De continues to discuss what is about the mission pegasus.

"The formula serum that we are going to retrieve is to be located here at their main laboratory. Our spies inside the lab have told us that the laboratory is secured and protected by not only a special squad of Rebel cell commandos. Mostly from the user guild and some in the players guild" 

After that instructions, the Hologram soon zooms in and created two teams like pictures that pretend to be them on the ground of the mission. Upon or entrance on the left wing the bravo team will enter at the rear of the laboratory.

"The Bravo team we are going to be put at the rear due to because the enemies need to think that Bravo team will be taking the serum bt it will be Alpha that will. The Bravo team will take all the heat so I want all of the great fighters in Bravo team."

Zhu De looked at Jin and said "You," an intense aura covered Zhu De while looking at Jin, he paused momentarily before continuing  "From what I heard you came from the battlefield you know how to fight enemies with the same strength as a monster?" and Jin replied with  "I know how to fight players and users but not fond of making more teams with me" and then one of the squad leaders exclaimed

"What are you a show-off, of course, this is a team play the laboratory is big and we are expecting soldiers, users, and players combined in one stronghold like that laboratory.

And Jin said "What is the composition of the teams here? Sorry I can't order a team or a squad to fight into a battle if the composition of the squad is all but healers and all of them were swordsmen."

And after that Jin was given a tablet by one of the squad leaders that was beside him.

"Here take a look at this so your mouth will shut" and Jin grabs the tablet and looked at the composition of the teams.
