NieR: Whirlpool

Slowly entering the troposphere from the stratosphere, six fighter jets with next-generation appearance, dragging orange tail flames, pierced through the clouds at a cruising speed of Mach 3 and rushed towards the target location.

"This is the headquarters. YoRHa troops, please respond."

"This is 2B. The entire aircraft has successfully broken through the stratosphere."

“这里是通讯官6O。已确认1D、2B、4B、7E、11B、12H全机反应。

At present, the entire aircraft has passed the target 50 kilometers away.

After entering the enemy's air defense circle, switch to manual attack mode. Start destroying the enemy's large weapon targets and collect intelligence.

"learn!"

As soon as the words fell, a red light flashed.

"Ah~"

The screams of the YoRHa team members before their death came from the communicator, their voices full of despair and unwillingness.

At the same time, a fighter plane exploded in mid-air.

As a huge explosion sounded, the entire sky was illuminated by flames, and the wreckage of the fighter plane flew everywhere, falling like raindrops.

The YoRHa members watched this scene in horror, their hearts filled with fear and helplessness.

"12H destroyed. All aircraft activated manual mode, evading with vision."

"Enemy laser array confirmed."

And the exploding fighter plane was just the beginning of the tragedy in this battle.

Just as he finished his words, another dazzling laser flashed across the sky.

"11B destroyed. HO229 plasma shield failed to function."

At this time, only four fighter planes were left, flying hard close to the sea surface.

And on the distant horizon, hidden behind the diffuse fog is an extremely large-scale machinery factory.

If you look closely, you can see that on the reefs by the sea, the enemy's carefully deployed plasma energy emitters and laser prisms are ready for battle.

Suddenly, another deadly laser struck.

The charming female voice came out again in the communication:

"7E destroyed. Everyone, please open fire immediately and concentrate your firepower to destroy the enemy's laser prism position first!"

Following the order, the remaining fighters quickly dispersed and launched a fierce attack on the laser prism arrays and land-based plasma energy launchers in their respective directions of advance.

For a moment, explosions sounded one after another and flames shot into the sky.

The three brave and fearless fighter planes successfully broke through the blockades and continued to advance.

Finally, the cooling tower of the huge machinery factory ahead came into clear view.

However, when they looked ahead, they could not help but gasp - in the distance, countless flying mechanical life forms were suspended in the air like locusts.

They are equipped with huge propellers underneath, like a group of demons from hell, ready for battle.

These mechanical creatures held powerful plasma energy guns and laser cannons in their hands, exuding a terrifying aura.

Suddenly, another dazzling laser streaked across the sky and explosions sounded again.

"1D is destroyed. According to regulations, 2B will take over as the leader."

Getting closer to the enemy's defense line,

"The entire team will switch to mobile mode, tear open the enemy's blockade and advance at full speed."

The remaining two fighter planes changed their postures flexibly in the sky, as if they had instantly turned into two huge humanoid Gundams. Then they slowed down and hovered steadily in the air. Facing the flying mechanical life forms surging in front of them, they launched an attack without fear.

The enemies spewed out plasma energy barrages all over the sky. Although these barrages moved relatively slowly, the destructive power they contained was extremely astonishing.

Just one bullet can cause serious damage to the human body, and two bullets will definitely kill him.

Those flying mechanical life forms, relying on the high-speed rotating propellers beneath their bodies and holding small and exquisite laser launchers in their hands, closely followed the two fighter planes and pursued them relentlessly.

The two fighter planes performed evasive maneuvers agilely, avoiding the aggressive mechanical electromagnetic energy bombs like ghosts.

At the same time, the muzzles on both sides of the fighter's fuselage continuously spewed out blazing flames, and countless plasma bullets were fired at the enemy as densely as raindrops, causing dozens of flying mechanical life forms to explode in mid-air.

After a thrilling and fierce battle, the enemy's solid defense line built by numerous flying mechanical life forms collapsed and finally collapsed completely.

Suddenly, a dazzling laser beam flashed across the distant sky again!

"Captain, I..."

One of the only two remaining fighter planes made a loud bang, then exploded and fell into the vast ocean like a meteor.

"4B was destroyed. Damn it..."

Ding ding,

"2B to Communications Officer 6O. 2B is the only machine left in the team. Do you want to continue the mission?"

"Command, communications officer to 2B, please meet up with the local leaders 9S and 9M and obtain critical terrain intelligence."

"Understood." 2B responded quickly after receiving the order.

The various parts of the fighter in the mobile form deformed and combined, and in the blink of an eye it turned back into the fighter form.

It passed over the dilapidated abandoned buildings on the sea at an astonishing speed and sprinted towards its target - the mysterious factory!

Following the precise coordinate guidance, 2B's fighter jets sped along the hatchway beneath the factory, mercilessly destroying the mechanical life forms that blocked their way.

Finally, the fighter plane broke through the hard steel wall in front of it with unstoppable force, like a sharp sword suddenly piercing into the enemy's hinterland.

"Report:

HO229's equipment was destroyed and the control system was abandoned.

Normally the communication system fails. Activate the laser communication system.

Terrain control...at long distances.

FCS transfer.

IMU transfer.

FFCS starts.

Confirm 2B black box signal.

NFCS is activated.

2B signs at the start of the testing procedure.

Turn on close range radio camouflage.

Activate close-range attack gear."

2B's dedicated pod 042 reported as if reading out a dish.

…………

"No matter how much oil you pour on it, it won't come back to life."

9S stood in the distance, silently watching a small mechanical lifeform pouring gasoline on another medium-sized mechanical lifeform that had already lost its functions.

At the same time, he skillfully performed various operations on the holographic projection interface of auxiliary machine 153.

"Alright, that's it. We've taken care of the enemy base's defense system."

"Hmm." Just then, a sharp roar came from above his head, and 9S couldn't help but look up at the sky.

"It's time to begin."

"But why is there only one fighter? Where are the other friendly forces?"

Ding ding, communication is connected.

"This is Communications Officer 21O, 9S and 9M, can you read me?"

"Yes, I heard it." Ye Feng, who was lying on the grass, came back to his senses instantly and quickly played the role of 9M and answered.

“Yes, yes, we heard it~” 9S is still as naughty and cute as usual.

“Yes, just say it once,” 21O glared at 9S helplessly.

"Yes." "Yes."

"9M, stop making trouble." 21O continued, "It has been confirmed that the YoRHa unit successfully broke into the enemy's base after carrying out an airborne operation, but now only one fighter plane has survived."

"That's really not good." Ye Feng thought to himself but didn't say anything.

Because he is familiar with the plot and settings, he knows that only 2B can survive, and the other machines will be reborn through the data in the bunker.

Wait, something seems wrong... 11B doesn't seem to be dead.

She seemed to have sensed something important and was about to flee the headquarters, but unfortunately, after the plane crashed, she was surrounded by mechanical lifeforms and was brutally tortured and killed.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng thought: Maybe I can try to save her.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Feng's mind - if he died, would his memory be uploaded to the headquarters' server? Or would the system help save it?

Ye Feng had no idea about this problem.

Who cares! I have a system.

At this time, 21O's voice came from the communicator: "It has been confirmed that the target is exchanging fire with the enemy's defensive weapons. Please go immediately to support the attacking force entering the base." 21O said.

"Yes!" "Understood." Ye Feng and 9S responded in unison.

21O then lost communications.

9S then took a deep breath and said, "Okay, 9M, we need to work harder now!"

"No problem, my handsome, cute and slightly submissive senior." Ye Feng replied in a servile manner.

"You're such a chatterbox, you deserve a beating!" 9S couldn't help but yell.
