Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 444

2042 9 Month 18 Day.

The city that never sleeps, the capital of the southern administrative region of the moon.

The city that never sleeps, located in the center of Tycho Crater, has now filled the inner depression of Tycho Crater with a diameter of about 85 kilometers, and some urban areas have extended beyond the surrounding highlands of the crater.

As the largest city on the moon, the population of the city that never sleeps has reached 500 million people, which is larger than the total population of New Paris and Moon Palace City, which are ranked second and third.

Although the city that never sleeps is not the capital of the administrative region of the moon, it is an industrial, economic, and tourist shopping center on the moon, and its prosperity is famous in the human federation.

However, the riots that occurred a week ago turned this bustling metropolis into a capital of turmoil. All kinds of careerists and thugs gathered from various cities on the earth and the moon, encouraging the people to drive away the official federal organization.

The city that never sleeps has become a lawless place. Burning, killing and looting are happening in every corner of the city. Ordinary people are in danger, but it is too late to regret.

Three days ago, the Federal Supreme Command ordered 30 regular federal troops to march into the city that never sleeps to quell the riots.

Facing the street fighting in the urban area occupied by illegal militants, the federal regular army was afraid to use heavy weapons due to the fragility of the moon dome city, and the progress was extremely slow.

In a huge passageway in the underground pipe network of the sky ecosystem in the city that never sleeps, Xu Jiuwen is leading a team of 64 federal mech fighters towards the central city.

After the Human Federation was established, Xu Jiuwen joined the Federal Military Intelligence Agency along with his intelligence team.

Because of his familiarity with the moon city, after the war broke out, he was transferred to the moon administrative region to serve as the head of military affairs in the city that never sleeps.

Today, he received an order to send personnel to lead the way for the Federal Army's mecha units, and carry out the "beheading" mission through the underground pipe network.

The federal army dispatched a total of more than 100 mech units, marching from all directions in the outer urban area to the central urban area where the rioters gathered.

Originally, he didn't need to lead the way himself, but due to special reasons, he took the initiative to risk his life to go deep into the front line.

Xu Jiuwen looked at the map on his wrist phone while walking. It would take them three hours to arrive at the planned destination, No. 78, Dome City, Brooklyn, from the outskirts of the city that never sleeps.

Now they have passed through the mountain wall of Tycho Crater from the underground, and they are still 15 kilometers away from the target area, and it is estimated that they will reach it in one hour.

Xu Jiuwen glanced back at the commander of the mecha squad. Because he was still far away from the battlefield, the hood of the mecha was not closed, revealing an unusually young face, but his stern and resolute expression showed that this was a mecha. A very qualified professional soldier.

"Lieutenant, do you need a break?"

The young lieutenant smiled and said, "Sir, I've only been walking for two hours, and the gravity on the moon is so low, it's as if I haven't left. Let's talk when we get there!"

Xu Jiuwen saw the lieutenant's flowing movements in the mecha, and nodded secretly. He is indeed the son of the old chief, and the tiger father has no dogs!
This young lieutenant was Zhong Yi, and Xu Jiuwen recognized him at a glance in the federal army camp outside the city.

Hearing that Zhong Yi was going to lead a team into the city to carry out the "beheading" mission, Xu Jiuwen was inconvenient to stop him, so he had to secretly try to protect his safety in the name of leading him.

Zhong Yi didn't know that the young chief officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau recognized his identity. Not many people in the federal army knew that he was Zhong Cheng's son.

Before the war broke out, he, Zhou Long, and Liu Jiang returned to the army, giving up their plans to retire.

The mecha division they were in belonged to the Earth Defense Force, and they were not in the battle sequence of participating in the battle. They applied for transfer to the asteroid belt defense line many times, but they were not approved.

Zhong Yi had nothing to do about this. At that time, what the federal army urgently needed was a space fleet, not a mech unit.

But as the battle situation deteriorated, the importance of mecha units became more prominent.

The federal army expanded on a large scale, and the size of the army expanded dozens of times. The special mecha division he was in was expanded into the Sixth Mecha Army.

After two months of intensive training on the earth, the Sixth Mecha Army was ordered to transfer to Ceres, but unexpectedly turned back to the moon halfway to carry out the task of quelling the riot.

Zhong Yi can only comfort himself that this is a long journey.

After the Nightless City's suppression of the chaos was hindered, the headquarters formulated the "beheading" action plan, and dispatched mecha squads to infiltrate the inner city through the underground pipe network of the Nightless City to carry out targeted elimination of the rioters, especially the genetic soldiers among them.

Although there are as many as 30 federal troops performing the task of suppressing chaos, most of them are not equipped with mechas, so this task falls to the Sixth Mecha Army.

The Federation's current production capacity can only guarantee that the most elite troops can be equipped with mechas.

Zhong Yi, Zhou Long, and Liu Jiang, as mecha fighters who have undergone long-term formal training, have done their part to become the commanders of the three mecha teams.

According to the information provided by the Ministry of Military Intelligence, there are more than 600 genetic fighters in the city that never sleeps, equipped with black warrior mechs, scattered in various urban areas in the center, ranging from dozens to dozens.

If a large number of genetic fighters are found, two or three mech units must be assembled to attack together.

Zhong Yi's mood right now is both nervous and excited, it's just that his many years of military career has kept his face unchanged.

As for the genetic fighter equipped with the Black Warrior mecha, Zhong Yi can be said to be the most familiar person in the federal army.

Since his youth, he has been "abuse" by the most powerful genetic warrior Alicia for a long time.

Alicia didn't have the restraint of an oriental person, and every time they fought, they beat him, Zhou Hu, and Liu Jiang until they were all black and blue.

But Zhong Cheng also told them that Alicia is an outlier among genetic warriors, and other genetic warriors will not be so strong.

Zhong Yi now desperately wants to find a "other" genetic warrior to regain his dignity and confidence.

If it weren't for the group of recruits he led, he would have wished to drive the mech and fly over this distance in an instant.

Considering that they have been training in Qianlong mecha training base for six years, and these new mecha fighters have only been trained for less than three months, Zhong Yi has a headache.

The team passed one after another human "settlements" in the underground pipe network on the way, and the closer they went to the inner city, the denser they became.

But fortunately there are no mobs in it. Xu Jiuwen explained that the mobs in this underground world have now gone to the ground.

The underground world of the city that never sleeps that Zhong Cheng saw back then was already different. It had changed from a place where the abandoned population of the city waited to die, to a paradise for lawbreakers that were not accepted by the above-ground world.

Insects and snakes are mixed, lawless, speaking with fists, strength is respected, and the population has reached 50 million. It is the original version of the city that never sleeps in today's turmoil.

After the turmoil broke out in the underground world of the city that never sleeps, people with a little ability in the underground world ran up, otherwise Zhong Yi's team would not be able to pass through the underground world peacefully.
