Chapter 35, Inside the Temple
The interior of the temple was dark. Everyone turned on the night vision devices on their helmets. The temple is built of stone, and the entrance is not very wide, barely enough for two people to walk side by side. Bottomless corridors can create the most primitive fears in people's hearts.
Descartes made a gesture, and the two elite squad members stepped forward to clear the way, while the others followed the tactical formation, weapons in hand, and headed inward along the only path. Most of the terrain had been clearly understood by the drone exploration before, and the members of the elite team made their way to the interior of the temple while looking at the map fed back from the helmet.
A group of people walked forward about two hundred meters, and Li De could feel that they were heading in a certain direction underground. The temperature is very low and the air is quite turbid.
Even with night vision, the field of view is restricted. The team basically stopped at three paces, and walked quite slowly.
As they walked on, the team came to a room. The group observed the situation here. It was an empty room, without any ornaments, not even tables and chairs. The surrounding walls are depicted with murals from an unknown period.
Pointing around, Descartes said to Lid: "Record this and send it to the headquarters to see if there are any clues, maybe some archaeological value." ”
"Yes, sir." Li De turned on the scanner and made a 3D panoramic scan and record of the surrounding murals. However, when he was about to upload it to the military system, there was a problem, and he could not connect to the military system.
"It should be because we're underground, and the temple above is blocking the satellite signal. Let's talk about it later. Descartes said.
The group was about to move on, but saw that there were two doors at the exit of the room. This made it difficult for everyone.
I saw Li De think about it for a while, take out a lighter, and light it on fire. Everyone looked at Li De. The flame of the lighter flickered, and Li De took a closer look and pointed to the door on the right.
"How do you judge?" Descartes asked Reid.
"According to the firelight, there is air movement on the right and not on the left. Explain that the left side is a dead end, and there may be a large space on the right. Li De replied lightly.
This method was learned from the one-armed old man on the planet Arkansas. Because in order to build such a huge building, there is usually air circulation, otherwise those construction workers will suffocate inside.
Although Li De said this, he was not absolutely sure. The rest were also skeptical.
Descartes laughed softly, did not give any answer to Li De's explanation, just made a gesture, and the elite team opened the box that they had brought in before, only to see that there were four unmanned aerial vehicles and two explosion-proof aircraft inside.
An unmanned aerial vehicle has flown to the aisle on the left. This unmanned aerial vehicle is designed to carry out reconnaissance missions, and it is very small, but powerful. The aircraft has night vision cameras and 360-degree radar on and can detect the situation inside the channel.
After flying for about 30 meters, the plane found that there was no road ahead. Everyone suddenly realized that what Li De said was really reasonable.
Just as the drone turned around and was about to fly back, it suddenly lost its signal. This change made everyone's nerves tense.
"It should be that there are some defensive traps in the passage, and the drone happened to trigger it." Said a member of the team operating the drone. This team member is nicknamed "Smart Man" and is a tactician in the elite squad. Just now, he judged from the last signal from the drone that some weapon was shooting out of the wall and damaging the drone.
"Looks like you're going to have to be careful about the road ahead. The owner here doesn't seem to like outsiders. Descartes said.
After judging the direction, the team moved on. This time, it was an unmanned aircraft and an explosion-proof aircraft that opened the way. This explosion-proof machine weighs 40 kilograms and is a tracked machine specially designed to counter mines. Walking in front is to prevent traps on the ground.
"Why didn't you guys take it out sooner? This thing is so heavy, it's a shame that you're still carrying it. Li De spat a groove in the communicator.
"We don't think it's heavy, what?" A voice sounded, and Li De could hear the voice of a team member nicknamed "Gunpowder". This guy has a short and irritable personality and is the vanguard of the team.
Descartes laughed lightly twice and did not continue to speak.
After moving forward more than ten meters, suddenly, "Gunpowder" saw a giant mantis pounce out of the dark place. At the front of the line, he fired directly at it. At the same time, in the communication, a warning was shouted in it.
Dozens of bullets whistled towards the giant mantis, and finally knocked the bug to the ground. However, immediately after that, a giant mantis ran out and galloped along the passage towards the team. The elite squad opened fire with all their might, and the bullets whistled and flew towards the swarm, and the insects were beaten to the point that green blood spurted straight out, and the speed of the forward rush was also full.
"NND, where did all this stuff come from?"
"I don't know, smart man, aren't you smart, why don't you know?"
"All I know is how to kill these damn bugs."
In the communicator, there is a conversation with the elite team. But Descartes, Lid, and Leona looked at the elite team in amazement. At this time, the six members of the elite team were collectively shooting into the darkness ahead.
"What's wrong with them?" Li De asked.
"I guess they've been tricked into illusion or hypnosis, and now they're fantasizing about fighting the Zerg." Descartes said. At this time, his face was very bad, and the situation of the elite squad was beyond his expectations. The team members affected by the illusion don't know how to recover, and they don't know if there will be any after-effects. If these team members treat him like a bug, he can only disarm these team members' mobility.
Li De frowned, a sense of danger came over him, and a voice sounded in his head. Lidd suddenly shouted to Descartes and Leona, "Get down!" ”
Li De rushed forward and stretched out his arms to pounce on the three members of the elite squad. Descartes and Leona also reacted quickly and pounced on the other three. The whole team lay on the ground, still rolling forward like a rolling gourd, only to hear the bullets whistling overhead.
"What's going on?" Descartes asked, after composing himself. He was also frightened just now, and although those bullets would not cause them a lot of trouble, they would also cause wounded.
"I sensed danger, but I didn't know what it was. A voice told me to get on my stomach. Don't you hear? Leed lay on the ground and explained to Descartes.
"What sound? You're not going to fall for illusion too, are you? Descartes asked, puzzled. But he was still grateful to Li De for saving the lives of the whole team.
"I don't know, but I don't think I have any illusions." Li De said with certainty.
Knocked to the ground, the fighters of the elite squad also came to their senses. One by one, they looked at their comrades-in-arms and got up from the ground.
"What happened just now? Sir, who is firing at us? Li Fei, the captain of the elite squad, asked. The table just now made him feel very embarrassed.
"I don't know, but the iron guy and the hummingbird in front of me won't work. Send another hummingbird to check it out. Descartes said. The hummingbird is the code name for that small drone.
"Yes, sir." Li Fei asked the team to send another drone.
The drone flew forward more than ten meters, and the image from it gave the answer. There was an energy shield in front of it, and the drone collided with the invisible energy shield and bounced back.
"It looks like our own bullet was bounced back by the energy shield." Li Fei said.
"Let's go see first." Descartes said. A group of people walked up to the energy shield.
"We saw the attack of the Zerg just now, and although it was an illusion, it was very realistic. What the hell is going on here? Li Fei asked.
"You've fallen for illusion." Descartes said simply.
"How did you fall for illusion? How did we get in? Gunpowder asked inquiringly.
Descartes did not answer, and Lide explained in his place: "It should be that there is something wrong with the mural just now." ”
"Something wrong with the mural? Then why are you okay? "Smart people can't understand Li De's explanation.
"Yes, I guess this illusion only works for some people." Li De didn't say anything about Skywalker. He guessed that it was because of his cultivation of the Force that Descartes, Leona, and himself did not fall for illusions, but he didn't know how to explain it to the elite team.
Several methods have been tried, and even the walls have been broken with knives, but they have never been able to break through this energy shield. I don't know how this energy shield, which has been stored for so long, does not let the energy run out, and everyone guesses that the device that produces the energy shield should be inside the energy shield.
In desperation, Descartes could only try to break it with a cross slash. Hands raised, a silvery-white light appeared on the hands; With a wave of his hands, a white cross light flew out. The cross slash struck the energy shield and glowed brilliantly. The energy shield shook a little, but there were still no flaws.
Li De and Leona said something, and Liona hesitated for a moment and took out her two lightsabers. Two pale blue rays of light emitted in the darkness. Two lightsabers were inserted into the energy shield, and the energy shield fused with the blue light around the lightsaber.
Seeing the lightsaber piercing in, Descartes understood. Li De's guess was correct, this energy shield has the same properties for particles formed by the Force. I saw that Leona's two lightsabers were divided left and right, and the energy shield opened a big gap.
After passing the protective shield, the team let the drone and the drone open the way, and continued to grope their way forward in the dark.
After walking a few dozen meters again, they finally came to the end of the passage.
