Cairo City.
It is the capital and largest city of Egypt, as well as the largest city in Africa and the Arab world, spanning the Nile River.
On the outskirts of the city there is Pyramid of Khufu, one of the seven wonders of the world, as well as the Sphinx, which has various unsolved mysteries.
But at this time Cairo...
It's like it 'cracked'.
To be precise, the entire Cairo city seemed to have disappeared due to collapse, and a huge gap opened in the ground.
The crack spreads Scarlet Light that reaches the sky.
In addition, there are huge humanoid creatures on the outskirts of the city, but they are too far away to see clearly.
Obviously, this abnormal phenomenon cannot be explained by science at all.
.
Behind the helmet, John's face sank, and he frowned slightly and asked Cortana:
"Cortana, can you directly detect the current situation of Cairo?"
"Master Chief..." Cortana appeared on the screen, shaking his head with a bitter look on his face:
"It's impossible, unless I get closer to the outskirts of the city, then it's possible to scan the cracks and the materials inside."
"Okay."
After hearing the answer, John immediately stood up and prepared to turn around and leave the sand dune to discuss countermeasures with Michel and other Helljumpers.
"Eh? Wait a minute."
At this time, Karl, who had the best eyesight, seemed to have discovered something, and used the sniper scope to look at the road northwest of the dune.
Mylon, who was holding and rotating Gauss Rifle, squatted on the ground and asked, "What's wrong, Karl?"
"Look." Karl pointed his hand towards the road.
Hearing this, John slowly came to the left side of Karl, squatted down, and adjusted the far vision function to the maximum.
What appeared on the screen were ordinary humans and the 'soldiers' escorting them.
The group of people and 'soldiers' gathered on the road were heading towards the crack that could be seen from any distance.
Although my farsightedness cannot clearly see each person's appearance, I can still notice that their clothes are ragged and some of them walk with a limp.
And the 'soldier' can tell at a glance that he is not human.
Their shapes are different.
Most of them are skeletons with a strange red light all over their bodies and holding scimitars and bucklers.
The person commanding these Skeleton Soldier is a mummy wrapped in white cloth and holding a spear in his hand.
"Oh my god..."
Mylon, who also saw the road scene, couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Am I really right? That crack is hell, otherwise where did Ghost Soldiers come from?"
"We don't need to worry about where hell is, we only care about the immediate mission."
John replied quietly, and then ordered Cortana: "Cortana, record everything we see, and upload it to Dr. Halsey as soon as we leave the barrier area."
"Yes, Master Chief."
"Yeah." John nodded, turned and left the sand dune.
Then Mylon and Karl looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, picked up their respective weapons and followed John away together.
.
Return to the landing area.
Four-wheel off-road vehicles painted in dark green were assembled.
Some have two, with a fort at the rear.
The turret is equipped with large-caliber Gauss Cannon, rotating Gauss Rifle, or missile launchers and other weapons.
In addition to this attack type, there are also six-seater transport-type off-road vehicles, which provide high-mobility transfer for the blue team and the Berserk Shark.
This type of off-road vehicle has a unified name, 'Warthog'.
(Picture)
Warthog is a multi-purpose light vehicle personally developed by Halsey. It can transport troops, fight, conduct reconnaissance, and air defense. It can adapt to a variety of terrains and is extremely fast.
What further reflects the "light" performance of Warthog is that it can be easily assembled and disassembled.
The components contained in each two special Drop Pod can form a Warthog, which can provide good ground 'service' for Helljumperss.
.
Just after commanding his subordinates to assemble Michel of the Warthog fleet, he saw the returning Sparta Blue Team.
Then he stepped forward and asked, "Master Chief, what is the situation we are facing?"
"It's not optimistic." John said in a deep voice:
"The anomaly has a dead army composed of skeletons and mummies, and Cairo has disappeared, replaced by the hellish Great Rift.
Cortana, share the video you just recorded."
"Yes."
While Cortana responded, he also shared the 'Hell Rift' he had just seen, the ordinary humans being escorted on the road, and Ghost Soldiers who was like a messenger from hell.
Soon, the content just detected appeared on the helmet screens of Michel and the Mad Tooth Sharks.
Seeing this, Michel's tone became more serious and asked, "So Master Chief, what is your order?"
Hearing this, John looked at the Warthog team on the side and thought about the countermeasures for a moment.
Said: "This anomaly has an entire army, which is really eye-catching given our size, so...
(Looking at Michel)
We first rush to the road to engage in firefights with them, provide Dr. Halsey with some combat data, and then obtain some useful intelligence.
Then we divided into two groups.
Major, you will lead Shark Company and use Warthog's high mobility to deal with abnormal phenomena.
I led the blue team on a 'hike' to Cairo to obtain more detailed data on the anomaly."
"Are there just the three of you? This is really too risky, and without Warthog, how can you attack quickly? This is simply going in alone, no way!" Michel immediately refused.
"Don't worry, Major." Mylon, who was standing behind John, explained helpfully:
"With our Sparta's physical fitness, coupled with this set of Mjolnir Armor, our running speed is no less than those of these iron lumps."
As he said that, Mylon raised his hand and knocked on a Warthog.
"This... ugh..." Michel could only sigh, "The boss once said that your Sparta's combat power is as good as the gods. To be honest, we may still be a burden to you."
"No, you are also elites." John waved his hand.
Then he turned around and boarded the gunner's position of a Warthog, and ordered, "Major, prepare to take action."
"Yes."
Michel saluted John, and raised his voice in the communication. "Paratroopers! You all heard what Master Chief said!
Cover your Drop Pod for me. After this anomaly is contained, the fleet will help us recover it!
Twist your fat butts! Move quickly! We are about to set off!"
"Ugh!"
Under the encouragement of Michel, a group of mad sharks shouted Marine Corps's favorite slogan in their helmets, and then began to move quickly.
It won't take long.
As the elite fanatic sharks of Helljumpers, they packed up according to the order of Michel and quickly boarded Warthog.
Start the engine.
A fleet of thirty-four Warthog vehicles drove out of the oasis, driving on the desert as if on flat ground, and rushed to the northwest highway.
Everyone is ready to fight those 'Ghost Soldiers' and provide effective actual combat records for Halsey.
