Chapter 2: Sneak Attack
After Xiahou Lin and his party left the portal, they were greeted by a biting cold wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The snowflakes in the sky are even more in front of them, overwhelmingly rushing over.
It was midnight, but the huge moon in the sky brought a faint light to this cold and biting ice field.
"The temperature here is only minus 30 degrees, and it looks like we're in the polar range of a planet." Qiu Yue immediately obtained the current ambient temperature from the armored suit.
"If I'm not mistaken, we're probably in the Halo World's Fertility Star Antarctic right now. Since this is the place where the story begins, we need to plan it carefully. Xiahou Lin looked at the two beauties beside him and said, "The next priority is to prevent the Star Alliance and the human race from obtaining information about the Precursor ruins on this planet.
After reading the data of the aura plane collected inside the computer, Laxis and Autumn Moon also knew that if they wanted to complete the task assigned by the monitor, then it would inevitably destroy the original historical development.
"Now we're going to find the location of the ruins, and then we're going to determine the current time. If the Covenant hasn't been spotted by the Humans, then we'll wipe out all of the Covenant here, and then find a way to destroy the Covenant ship that the Prophet was riding. In this way, neither the humans nor the Covenant will discover the existence of Shield World 0459. "Laxis immediately made a battle plan, and it was the simplest and most effective plan.
In Shield World 0459, there is a dreadnought fleet belonging to the Precursors. It was originally one of the military bases used to deal with the Flood, but then the Precursor disappeared and its location was lost in the long river of history.
"If we want to destroy the Covenant's warships, if we rely on us, I'm afraid we will have to start from within. Otherwise, those miniature nuclear bombs alone would not be able to break through the energy shield of the Star Alliance battleship. "Qiu Yue said that there is a problem to pay attention to, that is, all the warships of the Star Alliance are equipped with energy shields. Ordinary nuclear weapons simply can't destroy a Star Alliance warship with a single blow from the outside.
"If the human forces haven't discovered the Covenant forces now, and the other party hasn't opened the ruins, then we will sneak attack the Covenant troops on the scene, and then find a way to leave a transport ship, we will quietly go up, and then plant a nuclear bomb and blow up the capital ship." Xiahoulin said a very risky method, but it was also a way to ensure that nothing was wrong.
"Then let's find out where those Precursor ruins are." After Qiu Yue said these words, he immediately controlled the miniature reconnaissance plane carried in his backpack and rose towards the sky in the wind and snow.
Relying on the reconnaissance plane's large-scale search, Xia Houlin and his party soon discovered the situation. Ships and aircraft belonging to the Covenant appeared in the sky, and at the moment these things were flying quickly towards the northern region.
"It seems that we are lucky, those Star Alliance troops seem to have just looked for the ruins." After Qiu Yue finished speaking, she looked at Xia Houlin, and now she found her target. That is, the moment of the exchange of fire with the enemy is about to be reached.
"Let's go, let's take out these guys sooner and finish what we planned." After saying this, Xia Houlin took the lead and walked quickly into the snowstorm.
After about ten minutes, Xiahoulin and his party had already arrived at the edge of a small mountain covered with snow. Through the information observed by the reconnaissance plane docked in the heavy snow, the number and size of the Covenant forces ahead have been transmitted.
The Covenant forces gathered at the scene had about a dozen transport ships, as well as some small fighters. There are no Heavy Mech units of the Covenant here, most of them are Boar Beasts, Gnolls, and a small number of Elite Warriors.
At this moment, most of the soldiers of the Star Alliance, except for some who were on guard, had gathered in front of the Precursor ruins, and were trying to open the gate there.
"There are no human scouts around, and judging by the situation, these Covenants have only just arrived. If these guys are eliminated now, it will be the perfect time. Qiu Yu looked at the information transmitted by the reconnaissance plane, and the Star Covenant obviously didn't expect that there were still people watching them here. Therefore, the vigilance is not high, which is very conducive to sneak attacks.
"Then let's do it, and do it quickly. The first thing to be defeated is the Covenant's flying machines, and then to deal with the remaining Covenant infantry. After saying these words, Xia Houlin took out two miniature nuclear bombs and bazookas from the storage bracelet.
After Qiu Yue took the bazooka, she nodded and sneaked to the right. And Laxis and Charhoulin took out Ascari respectively? Kaman railgun vs. Kusar? The Crow Pulse Rifle slowly headed towards the Covenant infantry at the ruins' gates.
After each of them had reached their intended location, Xiahoulin gave the order to attack. Qiu Yue, who was lying in the snow, aimed the bazooka in her hand at the Star Alliance transport plane stop three hundred meters away.
As the armor of the rocket was pulled, a miniature nuclear bomb roared into the wind and snow ahead, dragging a tail flame that was conspicuous at night, and rushed to the place where the Covenant transport plane docked.
The rockets flying in the night sky immediately attracted the attention of the Star Alliance troops. But what these guys don't know is that this seemingly inconspicuous rocket has the terrifying destructive power to destroy their troops.
At the same time that the Star Alliance issued the hostile attack alarm, the miniature nuclear bomb that had already flown above the Star Alliance aircraft exploded at this time.
In an instant, the ball of light generated by the explosion of the nuclear bomb completely illuminated the area. The instantaneous heat burned the Covenant warriors who were exposed to the core of the explosion to ashes. The energy defense on their bodies did not play any role at all in the extreme heat of the nuclear explosion.
The Covenant's transport planes and fighters were instantly burned and exploded under the high temperature, and the wreckage of the aircraft was thrown out of the distance under the powerful shock wave.
The surrounding snowflakes were swept into the sky by the shock wave, and the strong vibration spread rapidly on the ground. Some of the ice and snow that were close to the explosion were quickly vaporized and partially turned into hot boiling water.
A powerful blast wave began to spread rapidly in the undulating ice field.
Those Covenant troops near the ruins were caught off guard, and they were suddenly swept away by the shock wave in the distance. And before they could get up, several rockets were fired at the group of guys.
A few seconds later, several huge explosions rang out one after another at the front gate of the Precursor Ruins. Although the movement is far less than the previous nuclear explosion, the power of that explosion is no less than that of a high-explosive grenade.
It turned out that after Xiahoulin and Laxis saw that the Covenant forces were knocked down by the shockwave, they wanted to fight quickly. Directly at those who were still getting up, he used a powerful cloudburst bomb.
Although the lethality of these weapons in the sealed space is the greatest, they are also powerful for those Star Covenant infantry who are staggering around at this moment.
A few seconds later, the smoke cleared as the explosion dissipated. When Xiahoulin and Laxis stepped out of the snow where they were hiding, they were greeted by a large number of blackened Covenant soldiers.
All of them, including the elite fighters, were directly killed under the cloud burst bomb attack just now. Among them, Xiahou Lin also found a kamikaze martyr wearing ancient armor, which is the most brave and good warrior among the elite.
It's a pity that this guy met a visitor from another world, so before he could show his strength, he was buried in the cloud burst bomb attack.
Laxis was concerned about safety, and quickly scanned the Covenant infantry at the scene, and after making sure that these guys at the scene had completely lost their heartbeat, they walked with Xiahoulin to the Precursor ruins in front of them.
Look at the huge all-metal door, with the precursor carved patterns or coats of arms on it. Xia Houlin stretched out his hand and touched it, and immediately found that after a long time, these metals were completely free of any rust.
"There's something wrong with my side, the nuclear bomb attack just now has wiped out all the Covenant forces. It looks like our plans are about to change. Qiu Yue's voice reached the ears of Xiahoulin and Laxis through the communicator.
"The plan is the same on our side, the Covenant infantry has been killed. Come over and rendezvous, we're going to have to change our plans. After Xiahou Lin said this, he looked at the ruin gate in front of him and observed. It's the first time I've encountered such an alien ruin, and to be honest, I really don't know how to open it.
"Try the metal balls that the monitor gave you!" Laxis, who was on the side, reminded her that the Monitor had not said before she came that that thing would help.
When Xia Houlin heard this, he immediately took out the metal ball, and the next moment the metal ball suddenly moved. It floated in mid-air of its own accord, and a ray of light shot out of the orb and began to scan the door in front of it.
The next moment, the door in front of him was automatically opened in front of Xiahou Lin and Laxis. At the same time, the ruins suddenly became brightly lit, and all the lighting facilities inside were actually lit up.
Seeing this scene, Xiahoulin and Laxis, after glancing at each other, strode into this ruin.
At the same time, in the synchronous orbit of the Abundance Star, a human warship "Fire Spirit", a series of situations that had occurred on the ground before naturally attracted the attention of these reconnaissance systems.
In the bridge of the battleship, the artificial intelligence of the Fire Spirit Serena asked the old captain James? Carter reported his findings: "Captain, five minutes ago, the battleship's monitoring system detected a small nuclear explosion in the polar region. ”
"Nuclear explosion, are there any of our troops there?" Captain Carter immediately asked, the Covenant used energy weapons, so they were basically not equipped with nuclear weapons. Therefore, I am afraid that the human forces are responsible for this.
However, the human army of Abundance Star has been completely wiped out by the Star Alliance army a few years ago.
And the human troops who landed on this Fertility Star now will only be the reconnaissance team they sent before, but they do not carry any nuclear weapons.
"No, our reconnaissance team is still thirty minutes away from the explosion site." Serena reported that it was the result of her repeated confirmation that there would be no mistakes.
"Do you want the reconnaissance unit to rush to the vicinity of the nuclear explosion site as soon as possible and investigate what happened there?" Captain Carter immediately gave the order, having previously reported that the Covenant forces had been spotted in a polar location.
So Captain Carter sent a reconnaissance force to the area, although Plenty was recovered by the UNSC forces. But no one is sure if there are still remnants of the Covenant on the ground who are hiding.
Suddenly, there was an enemy alarm on the bridge, and then Serena reported to Captain Carter, "Captain, the forward fleet has sent a report that a Covenant warship has been found. ”
"Prepare for battle, destroy this Covenant ship. Inform friendly troops and prepare to flank the enemy. After Captain Carter finished speaking, he immediately turned his attention to the enemy in front of him. The Covenant's warships are obviously more important than the situation on the ground.
At the same time, the Star Alliance warship on the opposite side also found traces of the human fleet. The battleship did not choose to go to war, but accelerated its orbit out of the Fertility Star.
When the human warship chased the Covenant warship, it was in the Precursor ruins. Xiahou Lin and his party were already carefully looking at the star map in front of them, and the location marked on it was the hiding place of the Precursor Dreadnought Fleet.
It turned out that when Xiahoulin and Laxis walked into the ruins, the small metal ball also flew in, and then began to wander in the center of the ruins.
When Xiahoulin learned the plot and put his hand on the sphere in the center of the ruins, the long-dormant system here was finally activated. At the same time, the small metal ball also took the opportunity to connect with the system in the ruins.
Soon the various materials in this ruin began to be revealed by the small metal ball, and Laxis quickly recorded it.
"These are the most valuable star maps in the Precursor Ruins, and this small drone provided by the Monitor did not expect it to have the function of connecting to the Precursor Ruins." Laxis said with a smile as she looked at the star map. The machine floating in mid-air was now communicating data with the ruins' systems.
Obviously, the technology of cube space is probably not inferior to the forerunner, and it is also related to the forerunner technology in some aspects.
"Once the data is downloaded, all data in the ruins will be deleted immediately. In this way, neither the human race nor the Star Alliance will be able to discover the existence of the shield world. After saying this, Xia Houlin looked at the spherical thing, which could understand his own commands, and it seemed that it also had a certain amount of artificial intelligence.
Sure enough, after the small machine heard Xiahou Lin's order, it immediately flashed with a burst of red light. Immediately after that, some important information in the ruins began to be quickly deleted.
As the star map completely disappeared in front of Xiahoulin and Laxis, the suspended metal ball automatically flew into Xiahoulin's hand.
"The reconnaissance plane has spotted a human force coming towards here in the distance, how are you doing your work in the ruins?" Qiu Yue, who was on guard outside, asked. If the humans arrive at the ruins and the data hasn't been downloaded, then the next task will not be completed.
