Volume 3 The War of the Insects Chapter 252 The Battle of Kalinhod (16)
Both Morning Star and Eva moved very quickly, and it took a lot of time to search the area around the villa. As expected by Vistock and the others, this place is indeed a place where a steady stream of dead soldiers are produced, but what makes Morningstar can't understand is how many people are in that cave? It stands to reason that no matter how large a cave is, there is a limit. If all the dead men who invaded Kalinghod escaped from this cave, it is conservatively estimated that this cave would have dug through a radius of tens of kilometers. And such a large underground cavity, it is impossible for the imperial military not to record it. The question then arises, where did these dead men come from?
To get the answer, it was impossible to break through the front of the cave, and Morning Star was not yet arrogant enough to do that. Maybe ten or eight, one hundred and eighty dead Morning Star can do it, but how many enemies are hidden in this cave, Morning Star doesn't know at all, if he rushes in, what is the difference between sending him to death. What's more, Morning Star had just used up the spiritual energy in his body before, and now if there was a fight, it would basically be fought by the flesh, although Morning Star's body was strong enough, but the ants bit the elephant to death. So, breaking in from the front will definitely not work.
While reporting what had happened to the command center, Morningstar and Eva returned to the top of the hill where they had been scouting. The strange energy fluctuations in the Bloody Villa made Morning Star very concerned, and he firmly believed that the energy fluctuations in the villa must be related to the distant dead soldiers in the cave.
"You go back now, the reconnaissance behind is too dangerous, I want to enter that villa." Morningstar didn't want Eva to be in danger with him. In Morning Star's heart, if there is only him, it can be said that there is no danger, there is a degree of advance and retreat, it is really not good, it is okay to summon a trap, even if it cannot be defeated, at least it is not a big problem to escape. But Morningstar ignored Eva's stubborn character, and as soon as the words came out, Eva's face turned cold, and she replied, "We are partners on a mission, how can I let you in alone?" ”
Morningstar didn't refute, he didn't know Eva's temperament, since Eva said so, it was useless to persuade him, shaking his head, Morningstar said: "It's okay, then you do my strategy, find a safe place around, if I am in any danger, you can help me get out, and also, we have called for reinforcements, they need your help." ”
Eva's face was still bad, but this time she didn't object, because Morningstar's words were right, and there was a real need for someone waiting for reinforcements. Taking two steps forward, Eva walked in front of Morningstar and reached out to rearrange Morningstar's clothes, which were a little out of shape due to the ambiguous movements between the two of them.
Eva's height is a little taller than Morning Star, so her gaze is a little condescending, but this kind of gaze is not like other condescending gazes, full of oppression, but leaks a rare tenderness, and tells Morning Star: "Pay attention to safety, if there is danger, retreat as soon as possible, don't take risks." ”
If it's a person who often shushes people and asks for warmth, say this
In this case, the morning star may only feel kind. But this cold Eva, now saying such things, made Morningstar feel a strange taste. But it was difficult to refuse, Morning Star nodded in agreement, and then his figure flashed, and he rushed towards the villa. Eva, on the other hand, looked at Morningstar's back with a worried face until it disappeared. With a light sigh, Eva put her hand into the satchel on her waist again, took out an artificial mask, and after a simple operation, Allure's face was replaced by that cold face again, and her whole temperament changed again. Connected to the intercom device, I only heard Eva say: "The support troops are marching quickly, be sure to reach the destination as quickly as possible!" ”
Morningstar's infiltration went smoothly, the main reason was the combat uniform on his body, the design scheme provided by the Psenchus technician, and the combat uniform customized by Daidalos himself for Morning Star not only has the characteristics of being close-fitting and lightweight, but also draws on the ability characteristics of Anshidal, so that this dress has a very good effect of hiding the body. Although it can't be completely invisible, it can still fool the eyes of most people with careful operation.
The silence in the villa was eerie, and Morning Star seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbeat. The original bloody murder scene has been cleaned up, but the lingering smell of blood in the air is still clearly recognizable. Since the curtains in the villa are all closed, the visibility in the villa is not high, but this is difficult to stop the morning star, and the excellent night vision allows the morning star to see everything in the villa. To Morningstar's surprise, the strange runes on the walls, which had been disposed of by Eva, were still emitting a ghostly green light in the dark environment, flickering and dimming, like the rhythm of human breathing.
There were four such runes, and the flickering rhythm was easy to catch, and Morning Star felt a little drowsy as he looked at these flickering lights. Biting the tip of his tongue and taking his gaze away from the runes, Morning Star pulled himself together and stepped across the strange hall and continued deep into the interior of the villa.
When he came here before, Morning Star had only reached the hall, so he was not very familiar with the internal structure of the villa, and after a flurry like a headless fly, Morning Star returned to this hall, Morning Star, lost.
In desperation, Morning Star could only grope again in the hall, but found nothing. Through the monitoring equipment on Morning Star's body, Eva seemed to know the situation on Morning Star's side, and Morning Star only heard Eva's voice from the earphones: "Are you lost?" ”
Although he didn't want to admit it, Morningstar nodded, and the shaking gaze let Eva know what Morningstar meant, so he pointed out that Morningstar walked out of the main building of the villa and came to the small garden behind the villa.
This is a small garden with a lot of taste, which shows that the owner of this villa is very attentive to this place, but unfortunately, they were all sacrificed by the Heavenly Mandate Sect. In addition to all kinds of flowers and trees in the garden, there is only a small artificial lake with a small area.
Morningstar could also hear that the water change was still working. After a carpet investigation, Morningstar didn't find any facilities such as secret doors, but for the feeling that the energy fluctuations were getting clearer and clearer, let Morningstar know that there must be something wrong with this small garden. Since no clues can be found in the other locations, the lake in the garden can only be locked.
The Morning Star was very watery and after the dive, did not have much of an impact on his movements. But now there is only one thought in Chenxing's heart, and that is that the owner of this villa who has died is definitely not an innocent person. An artificial lake for ornamentation, why should it be dug so exaggeratedly. If it weren't for Morning Star's remembers that he jumped into the water from the edge of the artificial lake just now, I'm afraid he would have thought that he was swimming under the sea now. Morning Star has been diving more than ten meters in the lake, but he still can't see the bottom of the lake, although it is partly because the water is not clear enough, but it also shows how deep the lake is. And the reason why Morning Star said that the owner of this villa is not an innocent person is because under this artificial lake, there are dry bones tied to the boulder. However, Morningstar did not have time to find out the identity of the dry bones and the cause of their deaths, as Morningstar had found a passage at the edge of the pool, one that had apparently been artificially hewn.
As Morningstar cautiously leaked out of the water, he was surprised to find a cave at the end of the passage, with sunlight falling overhead, which was the hill directly opposite the observation point that Morningstar had chosen earlier. The passage to the bottom of the lake was unguarded, so Morningstar made it to a cave relative to the mine. The exit of the passage is located near the top of the cave, which provides quite good cover for the Morning Star, who only needs to crawl at the entrance of the cave to prevent most people from seeing, and the combat uniform on the Morning Star's body can perfectly blend the body into the color of the rock.
The sight in the cave made Morningstar feel extremely surprised, in the entire hemispherical space, there were three huge machines running wildly, and the distorted space in the core was seen by Morningstar before, and seen in Itgleason. It was the fast teleportation tunnel that the technicians of Pusenchus had set up in the main cities of the three continents of Itglison, except that the warped space here was a disgusting blood red, and above Itgleason was a clear blue.
Morningstar finally understood why there were so many Celestial Mandate Sect dead soldiers above Kalinhod. In the distorted space between the three huge machines, there were constantly gray-skinned dead people jumping out, but it was not uncommon for only half of the dead to jump out, or the body was split into many parts. Morningstar understood, these machines that looked like the Psicentus teleportation technology were not mature enough, and there would be a situation of dismemberment of the teleporter during the teleportation process. Morning Star didn't know if it was because the dead were strong and didn't feel pain, or because the people had died directly during the teleportation process, and these dead people didn't even have a cry of pain
The broken corpse fell to the ground, and a bunch of strange insects swarmed up and ate it. These insect Morning Star are also known, although they have not been in direct contact, but from the video that Quinn found, all the members of the ferocious insect army are all composed of this kind of insect and the characteristic of this insect is the blood-red eyes that are different from the yellow eyes of ordinary insect insects.
Seeing this scene, Morning Star only felt a little numb in his back, this kind of insect in the video is simply a group of soldiers who only have the desire to destroy, and the lethality of this kind of soldier is definitely beyond the vast majority of human soldiers. And in this area, Morning Star visually inspected, there were probably thousands of such bugs.
The Alien Insect Force has several characteristics, a large number, strong execution, and is not afraid of life and death. But they also have a disadvantage, that is, overly centralized command, any alien army, there will be an absolute commander, once this commander dies, then these alien insects will become a plate of scattered sand.
With such a ferocious insect force, their commander must be a powerful warrior, otherwise how to subdue these rampaging insects. And the reason why Morning Star's spine is numb is because of this powerful existence.
Looking around, Morningstar didn't notice this existential figure. The machinery in the field is still running, and the dead soldiers are still jumping out of the portal, but these dead soldiers have not gone through any organization, just like stragglers, every time they come out, they rush out by themselves, and there is a sense of déjà vu that the gourd baby saves grandpa.
Although Morning Star didn't understand why the invasion of the Heavenly Mandate Sect seemed so casual this time, after a closer analysis, he understood that his previous speculation was correct. Being able to be so casual can only show that this Mandate of Heaven Sect does not regard human forces as the main battlefield, but is more like a playground in its own backyard, and this invasion, including the invasion of the Mandate of Heaven Sect that took place in the territory of the Alliance and the Republic, it is very likely that this organization with an incomparably large background is experimenting with something.
What he saw and heard at this moment made Morning Star feel that his previous estimation of the Heavenly Mandate Sect was wrong, especially these immature Psenchus technologies, which made Morning Star feel tremendous pressure, this kind of technology that would quietly teleport troops to the rear of the enemy was bound to have a huge impact on the war in the future. And Morning Star, who wanted to understand this, suddenly realized a problem, that is, the three diamond-shaped, super-defensive space ships that are now in space should only be a kind of transport ship.
"How? Is it a work of art? ”
Just when all kinds of thoughts in Morningstar's mind were mixed together and chaotic, a low voice suddenly came from behind Morningstar, startling Morningstar to come to the wall in a flash, vigilantly looking at the man who could come behind him silently.
He was tall and had the typical appearance of an imperial man, with a high nose, broad lips, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a broad face, giving him a reassuring appearance. But, underneath this appearance, the gray
's skin made Morningstar realize that this guy was also a dead man, a special being that was much more advanced than the others.
The visitor didn't seem to care about Morningstar's prying eyes, but instead talked to Morningstar like an old friend. Morning Star, who had calmed his mind, continued to look at the man. He had the same proliferating tissues on his body as those of the dead plague infected, only larger in size and brighter in color, these tissues had covered the entire torso of the man, covering the straight military uniform on the man's body, which seemed to be a human body, and the proliferating tissue and military uniform had been completely integrated. The pants on the lower body are quite normal, and there has been no change due to the proliferative tissue, but judging from the stains on the pants and the hardness of the fabric of the pants, I am afraid it has not been clear for decades. There was no sign of a human being under his feet, but it looked like Quinn's bone armor after he released his form, and its claw-like shape attracted the attention of the morning star.
It seemed that he didn't care if Morning Star would make a move on him, and the person who came said: "I'm afraid that my appearance is difficult to meet the aesthetics of human beings, don't look at it." But don't laugh at me, I've been doing this for decades, but I've got a temper. ”
"Who are you?"
Morning Star is under a lot of pressure, and this man can come to his side silently, which is enough to show that his strength has far surpassed that of Morning Star. But the friendliness shown by the man puzzled Morningstar. He was already openly hostile to the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and the man in front of him was obviously a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, why was he so friendly? Do you not know yourself? As soon as Morningstar's idea was generated, it was shattered by the man's words.
"You're the Morning Star, aren't you? Very nice young man, although I always thought I was very good, but compared to you, there is still a bit of a gap. Nice to meet you. ”
As he spoke, the guy who didn't know if he was supposed to be human reached out.
Morning Star was a little entangled, but the momentum that he had always been afraid of the sky and the earth still made Morning Star stretch out his hand and shake it with the hand of the visitor.
There were no accidents, no wrestling, just like the reunion of two old friends who had not seen each other for many years, shaking hands, parting, and then looking at the busy machinery under their feet.
"You're not afraid of me?" After the handshake was over, the men of the Heavenly Mandate Sect took the lead in speaking.
Chenxing thought for a moment and replied: "To be honest, I was quite scared at first, but it's useless to be afraid, if you can be so calm, I'm afraid your strength will be much stronger than me, and I'm afraid I won't be able to solve the problem." ”
The muscles on the man's stiff face seemed to move, as if he wanted to laugh. However, the stiff skin of the face opened a wound, but it healed quickly. The man rubbed his face and said, "After the body is transformed, the skin has become like this, and it has become stiff, so I usually don't smile, otherwise it will cause the skin to break." But I still appreciate what you said just now, and I instinctively smiled and made you laugh. ”
What the heck? At this moment, Morning Star has only one thought in his heart, shouldn't we be opponents? Why is there a feeling of having a good conversation?
?
Morningstar didn't dwell on this issue any longer, looked at the insects at his feet that were grinning at him, but seemed to be a little afraid, and asked, "These guys are your soldiers?" ”
The man nodded, and continued, "Sort of, but it's not my creation, it's a warrior given to us by the Lord God. As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the dead soldiers who kept coming out of the portal, and continued: "Those guys are my creations, and they are not perfect enough, you should know, after all, there are many dead soldiers who have died under your hands. ”
Morning Star frowned again, it seemed that the other party knew him very well, but he never told Morning Star his name, so Morning Star couldn't help but ask again, "What should I call you?" My opponent? ”
Morningstar's words made the man laugh again, and of course the result was the same as before, replying, "You are not enough to be my opponent now, you are still too weak." I don't mind telling you my name, though, and you can call me Abaddon, Lord of the Blight! ”
