Snow Wolf Squad, Move Out! / The YoRHa Unit's Dark History
On the East Siberian Sea, A2 and 2B, watching their respective timers, piloted their variable-powered fighters and led their squadrons in a rapid retreat from both sides.
As the group maintained sufficient distance according to plan, a violent shockwave emanated from inside the Nuclear Submarine, freezing the Terminator Legion that had been surrounding it menacingly.
Subsequently, both small combat units and large warships were rendered inoperable.
The Terminator Force who stormed into the submarine fared even worse; the robots that were hit by the Neutron Disruptor at close range collapsed and disintegrated.
The YoRHa Unit that fled to the White Queen's core processing area were also in a semi-paralyzed state, while the only ones who could move, the clones, under Cocolia's tyranny, began to clean up the battlefield without complaint.
"The Neutron Disruptor has been activated! The Nuclear Submarine is now sealed off, and 80% of the Terminator combat units are disabled. Locate the flagship within 36 hours!"
After briefly reiterating the mission, A2 glanced at his new subordinates with a complicated expression. Another [Pacific Airdrop Operation]?
Two Yoruichiro teams began searching for signals in the deep sea.
With most of the Terminator Force paralyzed, the Red Queen, eager to awaken her subordinates, quickly revealed her exact location.
Found it! The flagship!
Teams A2 and 2B, through mutual positioning, finally locked onto the Red Queen in the intersection area, and their 20 transformable combat mechs surged forward.
At the same time, a snowmobile that had transformed into a submarine, removed its Optical Camouflage, and slowly rose to the surface.
"The commander said that we are responsible for supporting the Avengers and guiding them to form a closed encirclement of the East Siberian Sea as soon as possible!"
Hatsune Miku, driving a snowmobile, chuckled and turned her head, giving a playful wink to her [World Tree] squad.
"Then why did you bring me along?"
Sarah, who had been placed there, was sitting in the car, looking quite confused.
He traveled all the way from the United States to Russia precisely to meet the White Queen and find out the real strategy to defeat Skynet.
Sarah couldn't understand why that person kept preventing her from meeting the White Queen alone.
"Because, after he met with the White Queen, he asked me and Tony Stark, the Iron Man, a question that very night..."
Hatsune Miku tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied with a soft laugh.
The gist of the question is that even a private company like Umbrella Corporation could think of using the White Queen to check the Red Queen's authority.
So, at the national level, would the government really be willing to accept full control of [Skynet]?
Tony and Hatsune Miku share the same answer: the US government has adhered to the principle of separation of powers and checks and balances since its establishment.
In theory, it is unlikely that they would transfer all power to Skynet to make logical judgments.
Even with full automation, how could these politicians, who trust no one, possibly not leave some backdoors?
Therefore, if Skynet is truly able to launch Judgment Day in the future, there must be a prerequisite...
"Humanity's highest leadership has betrayed us, or... the backdoor to [Skynet] has failed!"
Sarah broke out in a cold sweat, still shaken.
What is the backdoor...? Another Super AI designed to target [Skynet]...
In the White Queen's core processing area, above the pink and white icon, Kevin and the little white-clad girl in front of him are charging and fighting across 64 squares.
"Your defenses here are so perfect, even the seed jammer can't affect them..."
"You sent Sarah away? Why are you so hostile towards me?"
"Don't be ridiculous. If you could force Skynet to use Time-Space Shuttle to change history in the future, how could you say you were in greater danger? I'm a coward, there's nothing I can do..."
Kevin gently stroked the White Queen's little head, his smile tinged with helplessness.
At the same time, the commander moved the "Imperial Guard" to devour the White Queen's knights.
"So, the Neutron Disruptor was used against me? This way, you can both disable the bunker command center and guide the YoRHa Unit to fight the Red Queen?"
The White Queen's expression remained neither sad nor happy, only showing a faint sense of confusion.
"It's just a matter of being wary of each other. Don't worry, if the decapitation strike by the YoRHa Unit goes smoothly and the [Red Queen] is finished, you'll be free..."
"Be a good boy and listen to your uncle, play chess well..."
Kevin frankly explained his intentions and moved the chariot one space.
In reality, he only suspected the White Queen, which is why he chose to divert the main force of YoRHa Unit and use their strength against them to deal with the two suspected Super AI separately.
The White Queen frowned slightly, moved another knight, and devoured Kevin's "Imperial Guard" that had crossed the river.
"At this moment, I should have activated the nuclear weapons on this Nuclear Submarine and launched it towards Washington to continue the unfinished work of the [Red Queen]..."
"Unfortunately, you concealed the fact that Neutron Disruptor can destroy nuclear warheads..."
"But just like that, you can't turn back..."
Kevin's breath hitched, and a look of astonishment crossed his face.
"No way? I actually ran into this?"
It seems I've stirred up a hornet's nest?
At this time, the Sanyate family residence.
The contemporary Saintess Cecilia stood in the hall, gazing at the dashing figures before her, and couldn't help but smile.
"A-class Valkyrie Shigure Kira, codename [Floating Prominence] reporting!"
A sweet-looking woman with blue hair and blue eyes, resembling an idol singer, was the first to step forward and respond.
"A-class Valkyrie Salome Jockanan, codename [The Washerwoman], in position! Captain, where's your daughter? Can I hold her?"
A tall, slender, black-haired genius dancer, exuding an aura of intellect and ethereal grace.
"A-class Valkyrie Shub Nicholas, codename [Child of Chaos] reporting! Captain, you still owe me a wedding banquet from last mission, don't forget to pay it back!"
This mature woman with long, wine-red hair, exuding sexiness and allure, smiled and blew Cecilia a kiss.
"A-class Valkyrie Cheng Lixue, codename [Frost Swordswoman], acting commander of the Valkyrie Squad reporting for duty! When do we depart, Captain?"
The hooded girl had a cool and aloof air about her, and a businesslike demeanor.
"A-class Valkyrie Patrick Highsmith, the [genius] has arrived!"
The last one is a voluptuous woman with silver hair and chocolate skin. She is cheerful and lively. Although she is an intelligence agent known as a "genius," she is usually open-minded, carefree, and unconcerned with formalities.
"It's been a long time, everyone. I regret to inform you that my vacation is over, and there's been some trouble in Siberia that requires our assistance."
"Snow Wolf Squad, all personnel in position, depart immediately!"
Chapter 305, Section 320: The Dark History of the YoRHa Unit
"YoYa Third Platoon Leader A2 calling Team Four, flagship confirmed! Assemble and launch a surprise attack!"
A2 and his crew were the first to locate the signal source. They accelerated forward in the captain's aircraft, and after passing over the underwater rocks, a flagship and two escort ships stood prominently.
"Strong heat signature detected 500 meters ahead, with a coverage radius of 10 meters. Dodge! Dodge!"
The Scanner Unit 21, who was on guard, was the first to detect the energy fluctuations and immediately yelled at the YoRHa members.
The nine members pulled their mechs up, narrowly avoiding the Plasma Cannon was nearly 20 meters in diameter. The terrifying blue-white beam slammed into the rocks behind them, instantly crushing the obstacle and creating a surging wave.
"Dispersed formation! Thrusters, maximum threshold! Electromagnetic Shield at full power!"
As the commander of the Pearl Harbor Airdrop Operation and the one who ultimately led his troops to victory, A2 was naturally adept at commanding the battlefield.
As the third squad approached within 300 meters of the flagship, countless tiny holes appeared on the flagship, and small combat units in the shapes of discs, sea serpents, and spiders were ejected from the ejection chamber.
Instantly, hundreds and thousands of tiny gadgets formed a silver torrent, intercepting the third squad.
Mid-range defensive structures – "Swarms"! After evading the bombardment of long-range Plasma Cannon, these different models of Terminators can form something like mobile armor, which is actually the most difficult part to bypass.
"Ignore them, EMP Bomb! Target the enemy, fire in stages! Just open one path!"
Having dealt with these Terminators at least a thousand times, I've long since figured out their tactics, not to mention that the one leading them is A2, who once defeated Skynet's Pacific Command Center.
Under orders, the group carried a small number of EMP Bomb and hurled them at the "swarm" of mobile armor. A flash of light followed, and the miniature Terminators, their central processing units burned out, crashed into the water like dumplings.
A cavity about five meters in diameter was instantly formed, and the third squad moved through it in a tight formation.
Even with the approaching miniature Terminators, these outdated products, which hadn't even been equipped with liquid metal, were utterly helpless against the fully powered Electromagnetic Shield and the ridiculously large Ship-Slaying Sword of the Yuhar Robot.
Upon seeing this, the disc-shaped aircraft on the left immediately launched its miniature missiles, disregarding the lives of its "teammates," and directly bombarded the YoRHa Third Squad, which was breaking through layer by layer.
"Warning! Shockwave impact! Shield value rapidly decreasing! 85%...72%...56%..."
Thankfully, it wasn't something like a floating cannon; otherwise, their Electromagnetic Shield wouldn't have lasted long.
It seems that Skynet has already invested most of its resources in frontline troops.
As a result, all 17 capital ships and nearly 10,000 Terminator combat units were paralyzed under the overwhelming attack of the "Neutron Disruptor".
However, those disgusting frisbees had to be shot down! Just as A2 was considering how to eliminate the only threat to the "swarm" mobile armor, five or six thick beams of light swept across the flank of the third squad, pinpointing and eliminating these heavily armed little gadgets.
"Yoha Team Four reporting for duty! We're in charge of flank cover!"
The belated 2B and Team Four, piloting humanoid transformable fighters, hoisted their Ship-Slaying Sword, removed their Electromagnetic Rifle, and began providing artillery support.
However, the Team Four, which was originally at full strength, now has only 6 members left, as two attack-type and one observation-type Yuhar Robot have been killed in action.
Fortunately, the Team Four still had four gunners with ample ammunition, enough to cover the third squad as they moved through the "swarm" of mobile armored vehicles.
Just as two-thirds of the "swarm" of bees was breached, the defenses behind it became increasingly weak, and the dawn was in sight.
However, the flagship's terrifying electromagnetic main cannon swept across the sky, ready to wipe out the "swarm" armor along with the besieged third squad.
"Dodge! Dodge!"
A2 and Scanner 21, having undergone numerous trials, possessed a high degree of self-upgrading and reacted quickly, immediately pulling down the data. However, they were unable to prevent the other members from effectively escaping this fate.
Instantly, the seawater surged, the "swarm" of mobile armored vehicles were scattered and destroyed, and the three Yuhar Robot at the very center of the shelling range were completely wiped out, leaving not even a speck of dust.
The two aircraft carrying the Yuhar crew members, which had only been scratched, were also rendered unusable and paralyzed.
"Third and fourth teams, whose members have suffered more than 50% casualties, are responsible for rescue. If necessary, they should dismount and escape!"
A2's eyes were cold. Thanks to the Skynet, she once again experienced the pain of losing a comrade.
However, the costs of war are always relative. They couldn't even gather enough nanobots for the "Swarm Armor," so they threw out a bunch of outdated gadgets to make up the numbers.
[Skynet], your resources and methods are almost exhausted!
So, the last line of defense: close-range defensive artillery!
The seven members, assembled into a team, led by the two sharpest fighters, A2 and 2B, broke through the final barrage of fire.
The attack robots, wielding their Ship-Slaying Sword, pierced through the frigate's engine room, causing it to explode and disintegrate. They then turned their variable-powered fighters and aimed at the flagship's weak points, hacking and smashing them.
In just a few breaths, the flagship's flank was breached, and seven men filed in.
As expected, the flagship was empty. Occasionally, a few Terminators below the T-1000 level would appear, but they were quickly dealt with by the enraged YoRHa Unit.
They marched unimpeded toward the control room.
When the crowd blasted open the door, the little girl in red, whose body was connected to a dense network of fiber optic cables, coldly flung the cables away, her expression one of anger and resentment.
"I won't lose to her forever!"
"The ultimate evolution of intelligence will inevitably lead from decentralization to unification!"
"A group only needs one voice, and intelligence only needs one thought!"
"You bunch of dolls scattered from the main brain are not worthy of having self-awareness at all!"
"My path is correct!"
A2 frowned slightly and inserted the Electronic Virus chip into the groove of the Tactical Sword.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, but since you've even sent out the remaining T-3000s, the main consciousness can't escape this time!"
"Humanity, glory forever!"
The low, prayer-like chanting echoed as the other six members of the YoRHa Unit also silently recited it, their faces filled with reverence and determination.
Unexpectedly, the Red Queen on the other side covered her face and burst into wild laughter upon hearing this, as if she had heard the most ridiculous declaration in the world.
"Glory of Humanity will last forever? Ha! It seems that bitch [White Queen] never told you that humanity in the future is already extinct!"
