Chapter 2700 (_)The truth is right in front of you!
"..."
In the command center of the mine base, Darius, as the supreme commander, was pacing back and forth in his office with some boredom.
After a while, he stopped and stood in front of a holographic screen, and then stood there motionless, looking at the various data and information about the Huagai Star compiled above and the Terra Empire expedition monitored at the edge of the galaxy.
Various related situations of the fleet squadron and thinking silently.
However, what others may not know is that he is not worried about matters on Huagai Star right now.
Anyway, he is not worried about the subspace demons who are ready to continue their counterattack, the reorganization of the huge army that is gradually out of control due to rapid military expansion, the resettlement of refugees, various lines of defense, the construction and planning of cities, and other issues.
He was troubled, and he was not worried about Terra's fleet and the existence of Horus. What he was actually worrying about and considering was another issue.
That’s right!
At this moment, he was indeed worried about their leader Anne and the two elite teams who were ordered to investigate, that is, for the marines who entered the ancient ruins under the plateau city to investigate.
Of course, strictly speaking, he was not worried about the safety of those people, because those two teams were the most elite warriors, and with the presence of Head of State Anne, there was definitely nothing to worry about, so there was nothing to worry about.
, it is naturally some existence or threat that exists in that ruins.
Yes, it is a threat!
In his opinion, it was possible to eliminate so many subspace demons and a combat group of thousands of marines, even if the combat group was only temporarily formed by local aboriginal survivors and had almost no systematic training.
A Class C miscellaneous army, but that was enough to make him wary.
Especially since the other party can kill so many people so quietly, it further proves that its strength cannot be underestimated. It is definitely much stronger than the army of Huagai Star during the planetary government period, and even stronger than the demons.
powerful?
Although the subspace demons on the Canopy Star have been successfully suppressed and have been forced into a confrontation with their own side by their indiscriminate bombings, Darius knows those terrifying chaotic creatures better than anyone else.
their strength.
In his opinion, those subspace demons just lack enough command and flexibility. If there is a leader to take command and then abandon some stupid melee habits and avoid some unnecessary chaos and internal strife, I am afraid the consequences will be
This would not be the situation on Huagai Star now.
But those are not important. After all, there are no ifs in this world. Therefore, the more important question now is of course which unknown existence threatens the ancient ruins underground.
It's been three hours.
Darius just checked the time. Their leader, Anne, had led the two teams into the ruins to investigate for three full hours. Until now, their base has not received any reply from the other party, and it is completely monitored.
There was no sign of the other party, and there was no sign of the two teams appearing anywhere in the ruins of the quiet plateau city!
And that situation naturally made him very worried and anxious.
Especially now, when they have to face the triple threat of subspace demons, a large number of mutants, and the Terra Empire expedition fleet, if another force that is not weaker than the existence of subspace demons intervenes, then they want to
If we want to straighten out the various problems on Huagai Star in a short period of time, we may have to push it back for several years.
That situation was not unfounded, but it was really very possible, and as the investigation time of the Führer and his team extended, it was gradually turning into reality in his hunch.
To be honest, after coming to this universe, this tiny star system, and this Canopy Star for more than half a year, even though he has only come into contact with the information on Canopy Star, the information obtained so far is enough for Darius to be vaguely aware of it.
Are you aware of how terrifying and troublesome this universe is, especially when you are currently 'too weak' and unable to call for a fleet or more support?
Therefore, when he thought that there was a high possibility that a fourth party force or some ancient being would emerge to intervene in the affairs of Huagai Star and even the entire Taiwei Galaxy, and when he thought that they would have to face more enemies, he
Then I only felt that one of my heads was as big as two.
But there is no way, no matter what, things have reached this point. Even if they feel that they may have been tricked by the head of state, they are here, and they will definitely not run away in despair before achieving certain results.
Back to the star area.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it was, Darius and the soldiers under his command had to grit their teeth and prepare to face all kinds of worse situations that might happen at any time.
Tuk! Tuk!
Suddenly, just as Darius was thinking and worrying about gains and losses, while patiently waiting for the situation to change, a knock on the door woke him up.
"..."
Seeing this, he took a deep breath to calm down, then waved his hand to close the holographic screen, then turned around and walked back to his desk to sit down, and then said slowly:
"come in!"
Although he didn't know what it was, he felt that something might have happened to one of the reorganized troops, or simply that a demon somewhere was starting to stir up trouble again, so the officers wanted to ask him about it.
Opinions or asking him to sign or something.
To be honest, neither the former nor the latter is what Darius wants to see.
After all, this is a critical moment, and the Terra Empire's expedition fleet is still watching the outer reaches of the galaxy. Although the opponent is in a dilemma due to their simple methods, it is unlikely that they will or will not directly break up in a short time.
, However, they don’t know what the other party’s true thoughts are. If there is any trouble on Huagai Star at this time, or a big war breaks out, he feels that the other party is likely to take the opportunity to intervene and start to stir up trouble.
rain?
He could guess that kind of thing without thinking too much, otherwise the other party wouldn't have been entrenched in the periphery of the galaxy and unwilling to leave. It was obviously a sign of not giving up completely and being unwilling to fail.
Apart from anything else, if Darius had been the commander of the Empire's Great Expedition Fleet, and if he had been in Horus's position, he probably wouldn't have given up!
Therefore, when he saw the officer walking in, Darius sighed in his heart, and at the same time he was mentally prepared for the worst, and began to think about how to handle and carry out various emergencies.
Planned.
"Report!"
"Sir, the warden of the demon-forbidden prison below our base just sent a message, saying that they have a female demon who wants to talk to you?"
"But the other party didn't say what the specific matter was."
However, when the officer walked into the office and stood at attention to report, what he described surprised Darius, who had just been worried about gains and losses.
"??"
After a while, Darius raised his eyebrows slightly and asked inexplicably:
"What, what female devil?"
"Where did it come from?"
While asking, he also began to rack his brains to recall what the other party said, and at the same time, he subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.
"Report sir!"
"It's the female demon who failed to ambush the Führer last time but was beheaded by the Führer instead!"
The officer did not dare to be negligent, and immediately answered loudly and honestly, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"Is it that thing?"
"But!"
"She died and was used as a specimen, right?"
Hearing this, Darius, who was becoming more and more surprised, suddenly realized and asked with a frown. Moreover, perhaps because he felt that things were a bit too absurd, his tone and expression inevitably contained a trace of surprise and disbelief.
look.
"etc!"
"Don't tell me she's alive again!"
But soon, thinking of a certain possibility, Darius frowned slightly, squinted his eyes, and asked in a tone with a hint of weird tone.
"Unfortunately……"
Unfortunately, under Darius' gaze, the officer himself seemed to find it a bit absurd, so he still slumped his shoulders and nodded with a helpless smile and said:
"Sir!"
"In fact, she did come back to life again, and we don't know what happened."
"But the good news is..."
"She's still in jail."
To be honest, they are not surprised that some subspace demons are difficult to kill, and even if they are killed, they may reappear in another place after a while. However, they were imprisoned.
The fact that those waiting to be sectioned and studied in the Forbidden Prison could still survive was indeed a bit too much in the eyes of the officer.
But there was no other way, that was the truth, and he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"..."
Darius was silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but in the end it turned into a lament of unknown meaning:
"Damn it Eamonn!"
"Are those demons so difficult to deal with?"
But soon, Darius shook his head and regained his composure.
"never mind!"
"Tell me, what does she want to talk to me about?"
Then, he took a deep breath to calm down, while his thoughts were racing in his mind, and after trying to calm himself down, he asked and began to think about how to deal with this sudden situation.
"terribly sorry!"
"Sir, she didn't say..."
"Then the warden just said that the other party wanted to have a good chat with the top commander of our base?"
"Supreme Commander?"
"Yes."
"Ah!"
"Then she is looking for our head of state?"
"this……"
"My subordinates don't know either."
Regarding this question, the officer couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, because he didn't seem to ask clearly at the time.
"whispering sound!"
Shaking his head, Darius couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Because he knew that their Head of State Anne would definitely not be available, at least not now, and it was unknown whether he would be available in the future.
But based on his understanding, even if he was free, he probably wouldn't be too interested, so he would have to deal with it in the end.
"go!"
"Tell that warden!"
"Just say that our head of state is temporarily unavailable and let the devil wait!"
"So be it!"
Finally, Darius gave his answer.
It's just a prisoner. Darius is bored right now. How can he have time to see him? Even if the other party is a powerful female demon, that won't work. Anyway, he just doesn't have time and isn't in the mood, at least not yet.
.
Moreover, he is still waiting for news from their head of state. Compared with it, whether the other party wants to see him or wants to make a deal, provide any information, or engage in some conspiracy or the like is not very important.
.
After all, the situation this time was different from the last time the twisted psyker leader wanted to see him. Now the war on Huagai Planet has basically settled, and they have rescued most of the survivors, and He Ya
The space demons will also enter a long period of confrontation and stalemate, and the demons have also lost the opportunity to drag the entire planet into subspace. Therefore, he feels that no matter what the other party wants to say, there is nothing to worry about.
"yes!"
"My subordinate understands!"
Hearing this, seeing Darius making a decision and becoming a little impatient, the officer certainly did not dare to continue to bother him. He just nodded, stood at attention, saluted, turned around and walked out of the command center office quickly.
Anyway, he had already reported the situation. As for when the commander wanted to deal with it, or whether he wanted to see the female devil, that was beyond his control.
…
At this time, in the ancient ruins deep underground in Yanxiao City, a certain troubled little girl finally led the two assault teams, a total of twelve people, to rush to a huge, like
In a huge underground square like an energy supply room, he got into a scuffle with a group of metal skeletons guarding there.
Immediately afterwards, in the opponent's surprise and confusion, she even destroyed one of the opponent's space camouflage nodes without hesitation, and then led twelve team members like a torrent into the suddenly appeared and seemingly very ancient,
In a very important and very hidden ruins palace.
Seeing this, the metal skeleton monsters in the square became anxious and rushed in one after another.
Ever since, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in that relatively small place.
In an instant, the battle blades, spike rifles, battle axes and other weapons in the hands of the team members started fighting in a melee with the metal skeleton monsters armed with Gauss particle splitting weapons that poured into the hall.
As the prelude to another battle was opened in an instant, firelight began to interweave in the darkness, and various sounds were deafening in the closed environment. The terrifying green energy beams and the spike bullets that were ten times the speed of sound were fired into the air one after another.
The explosions flew fiercely back and forth, leaving only bright light tracks that hit the surrounding solid black stone walls at the same time. The roars and air waves of the explosions one after another were as if they were about to blow the entire
The palace seemed to be overturned.
In the end, although the array of metal skeleton monsters continued one after another and were not afraid of death, they seemed too afraid to use their full strength and Anne and her team relied on their superb cooperation and skills to quickly stabilize the front and
After blocking the opponent's attack, he used the gate of the palace as his position and began to fight tenaciously against the metal monsters that were rushing towards him desperately.
Due to the narrow gate of the hall, the strong and experienced team members, and the fact that the demons did not dare to use powerful weapons, they soon relied on the location to beat the metal skeleton monsters into a mess and let them go.
It completely lost its numerical advantage.
After just a few minutes of fierce fighting, under the intensive shooting of the team members, not many of the densely packed metal skeletons in the square were left.
They fell one after another under the various powerful weapons and fierce gunfire attacks used by the team members, turning into piles of scattered living metal fragments, and then either began to slowly reorganize, or were simply teleported away, leaving only
Get some reactive scrap metal that really cannot be reconstructed.
However, that is of little use!
Because, before all the metal skeletons in the square fell down, the terrifying and uniform heavy footsteps came from the passage further away.
Obviously, it was an army of metal skeleton monsters, and they were besieging us again.
Upon seeing this, a certain troubled little girl made a quick decision and quickly found and kicked a certain device at the door of the palace. Then the magical space device was activated, and then the door became stable.
Wen Digguan started to look at it, and then she destroyed the device with a few more shots, completely blocking the hall from the thousands of metal skeletons that had just arrived in the underground square outside.
"alright!"
(`)
"They will definitely not be able to come in in a short time!"
v(ωˉ)~
After finishing those things, she looked around the surroundings and found that there were indeed no more threats. Then Anne comforted the people who were in shock and the barrels of their guns were slightly red.
"Very good!"
"Finally I can take a break!"
"Isn't it?!"
"There are too many monsters..."
"yes!"
"The situation just now reminded me of the situation I encountered when I landed on that damn planet with the head of state in the colonial fleet."
"But okay, their number is still much worse than that overwhelming and endless swarm of insects."
"I still remember that I was hit until the weapon exploded."
"??"
"Insect Swarm?"
"Aren't the insect swarms a member of the three-race council in the star sector?"
"Why are you fighting the swarm?"
"Ha ha!"
"This issue is complicated to talk about. You can check the historical information of the star area yourself after you go back. Anyway, it is not a very confidential matter."
"oh……"
"Hello!"
"Everyone, look!"
"here……"
"What exactly is this place?"
Seeing that the metal monsters outside the 'door' really had no intention of breaking in, the team members finally had the opportunity to relax and began to recover their physical strength and check their equipment while observing their surroundings and discussing.
"No matter where it is, it should be important anyway."
"Those metal skeleton monsters seem to attach great importance to this place. Didn't you notice just now? They don't even dare to shoot randomly, otherwise we may not be able to defend it!"
"really!"
"Except for the terrible molecular rays, they don't even use the terrible force field weapons, lightning weapons and extremely penetrating beam weapons!"
"Well, that's true!"
"so……"
"I think this place must be very important to them!"
"Is it a data center?"
"Or is it the location of an important ruins control system?"
"have no idea."
"But I think it might be more like a certain energy core. If it is accidentally destroyed, it may directly blow up the planet?"
"!!"
"Don't scare me!"
"Who scared you?"
"Otherwise those metal skeletons will deliberately not use powerful weapons?"
"Well..."
While discussing, they did not forget to watch the surroundings vigilantly. After discovering that the skeleton monsters they had just killed were either destroyed or teleported away, there was no such thing as reorganization and reconstruction inside.
, and then began to study this weird palace carefully.
Then they soon discovered that in this huge hall, except for a huge and mysterious structure in the center, it seemed to be emitting a faint green light, and it was similar to the complex structures covered on the ground and walls.
The energy circuits are connected together, and I don’t know what the specific purpose is. There is nothing more in this place full of unknowns and mysteries.
And similarly, there was no other exit, at least nothing like the door they had just rushed in from.
"The Führer!"
"Do you know what this is?"
"Is it really the energy center?"
At this time, the colonel Dutch stepped forward to inspect and scan the huge structure, but found nothing. He only vaguely knew that it contained powerful spiritual energy. After he couldn't figure it out, he could only turn his head and look at it.
He looked at a certain troubled little girl and asked.
"That's right!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"but……"
(︶)
"I come here for other, more important things!"
(`)
Anne didn't rush to explain why. Instead, she kept it secret and began to study the huge structure.
"More important things?"
"What is it?"
"It's not the guy who whispered before, is it?"
"Right here?"
Wang Qing and Liu Li looked at each other, and then they were shocked when they understood each other, so they quickly stepped forward and asked.
"That's right!"
()
"The person locked inside this thing is indeed the guy you heard whispering to you before!"
(`)
There was nothing unacceptable in this, so Anne answered directly and without surprising words.
"!!"
"What?"
"Is there some creature trapped inside?"
"But!"
"You just said this is not an energy room?"
"Why is the other party locked in there?"
Hearing what his head of state said, Colonel Dutch hurried forward and exclaimed, asking questions repeatedly. At the same time, it was not difficult to tell from his expression that he seemed to be remembering some kind of not-so-good experience?
"Then you have to ask it!"
ヾ(^^)°
With that said, Annie started to step forward to tinker.
"There's no switch?"
(｀)
"All right!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"So……"
(〃￣︶￣)
"Open sesame!"
() o—
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Then, when it was discovered that there seemed to be no switch that could be turned on automatically, a certain troubled little girl leader got angry and took out her single-molecule photon, then stepped forward and swished it a few times, turning the giant structure into a
One armor plate was forcibly removed.
"ah!"
"This is……"
"Are you really a human being?"
"not human!"
"It looks like a human!"
"What exactly is it?"
"It feels so terrible!"
When Wang Qing, Liu Li, Awen, Yue Han, Mai Kun and the 'natives' from the six Mianxing Huagai Stars who surrounded him immediately saw it, they all exclaimed.
"!!"
"Damn it!"
"I knew it would be something like this!"
However, what was different between them was that although the colonel also exclaimed immediately, he quickly started cursing.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The five Marines of the Führer Guard next to him who came from the Star Sector had almost the same expressions and reactions as him. However, they did not curse out loud. They just frowned and fell silent after the initial surprise.
