Book V, 17: Contact, Hostage
"Simple and crude methods can't be broken, it seems that we can only think of other ways" Chen Xi walked back and forth in front of the wall of light, thinking about what could be worth using.
Spatial teleportation was first ruled out by Chen Xi, since these blue rays can interfere with the shielding mental ability, then don't expect much from the spatial ability, in case there is this possibility, using this kind of prop needs to take a big risk, and it is possible to be interfered with and teleported to an inexplicable place.
Then there is An Yumo's ability to blur, Chen Xi asked her to try it, but the result still doesn't work, An Yumo's blurring light and shadow directly hit the protective shield, and it seems that this protective shield can be blocked together with energy.
After Chen Xi found that the two methods did not work, he put his ideas on normal concepts, such as digging holes.
However, after a closer look, he shook his head, the protective shield not only wrapped the scope of the crystal building, but also completely covered the cavity above, according to visual inspection, if the method of drilling a hole is used, I am afraid it will take a long time. The same is true for the ground, a three-meter-deep hole has been dug, and there is no sign of the shield disappearing, and it doesn't look like it's working.
"Can you only use the Blade of Straight Death" Chen Xi hesitated, he was a little unsure about using this kind of prop, because he was not sure that this shield was a specific thing, if it was just something that was continuously fired by other devices, the Blade of Straight Death would have no actual effect, and if it was scattered, the shield would soon be able to be regained. , the most afraid is that when I thought I could enter, I just happened to be caught by the re-restored protective shield, and the tragedy of the two people was great.
"Okay. I can only go out of the sword. Chen Xi thought about it for a while, and finally used the most unreliable method.
This method is actually very simple, that is, let the hairball wrap around the mechanical power armor, leak nothing, and then stride forward.
It's just a feeling.,It's definitely very unreliable.,This is definitely the funniest deception trick of the year.,There's no one.,Similar concepts.,It's probably a trash can on your head and you can go straight to the White House.。 I believe that no one will be able to detect this disguise.
So. Rao trusted Chen Xi very much, and An Yumo couldn't help but wonder: "Can this method work?" ”
"A dead horse is a live horse doctor." Chen Xi helplessly spread his hands and said, after the so-called elimination of all impossibilities, the remaining one feels unreliable. There will also be a good chance that it will be the right way.
However, how to keep the hairball from moving is a troublesome matter. Fortunately, there is also a difference in the intensity of the obscuration of mental skills by blue light. If it's close, the Friends of Nature of the Dadayirs can still play a small role.
After Chen Xi wrapped the two of them with a hairball, he officially stepped forward. However, the moment the two of them came into contact with the protective shield, a faint sound of wind suddenly sounded nearby.
It was as if a thin line had elongated the sensation of crossing the air, but the two of them sounded extremely dangerous, and the target was aimed directly at their helmet-protected heads.
"I know that the Dao is not so simple, according to the general law, there are generally task clues or task prompts, and something will always happen, not to mention that this god clan still belongs to a fighting nation, a useful place cannot be the same as the abandoned Tifa planet, there will definitely be a protective force to exist." Chen Xi did not let down his vigilance, and as soon as he heard that the wind was wrong, he gave up the action of entering the protective shield, and turned his hand into a fan shape, and fanned it towards the direction where the sound appeared as soon as it was covered.
As for An Yumo, he moved faster than him, and under the hairball that suddenly dispersed, a sledgehammer smashed it with a backhand.
Bang!
The sound of the metal clashing appeared where the hammer head struck, but it was also different, Chen Xi keenly saw the arc light flashing on the surface, it should be a stealth weapon containing the nature of energy, and most importantly, it would not be detected by his retrospective eye, and it would only be detected by them when it was quickly swung.
And the one who fought back behind him simply pierced the hand of telekinesis, and with the feeling of extending to the hand of telekinesis, Chen Xi found that it was two weapons, and then, the rest of the part still fanned the stealth sneak attacker out of the air.
"Looks like I'm on the right track." Chen Xi knew in his heart that it was right to use the hairball as a disguise to get in.
"It's really a simple and rough style, guarding against almost all normal means, but I didn't take this into account" Chen Xi sighed, but he didn't wait for the completely invisible enemy to fall into place, dozens of tentacles, Ah no, dozens of telekinetic hands have been thrown over. It doesn't matter if he can't see it, for him with an area attack, as long as the opponent is not fast enough to dodge it completely.
In an instant, the invisible and qualitative hand of telekinesis swept past, and the mushrooms along the way were damaged, and they began to break from the places of contact, revealing milky white fungus flesh, and then scattered all kinds of spores in the sky.
This is exactly what Chen Xi considered, being completely invisible does not mean that the other party can really become invisible, borrowing the environment here, he instantly thought of a way to break the other party's stealth means.
Before the hand of telekinesis and the body, the contamination of the spores had already made the sneak attacker temporarily visible, it was a female more than two meters tall and slender, at least the same secondary sexual characteristics on the chest as a human female could make Chen Xi make this judgment, and then, with a target, dozens of telekinetic hands were no longer scattered covering attacks, but accurate to the position of the sneak attacker, surging over together. At the same time, Chen Xi also threw the two demonic flames that emerged from his hand towards the other party.
Syllable!
This time, the hand of telekinesis struck the sneak attacker firmly, and the two scimitar-like weapons only cut off a dozen or so pieces, and they couldn't intercept the rest of the parts, and the huge impact force sent the sneak attacker into the air again.
"It feels light."
Chen Xi found that the actual lethality of the attack was very low, and there was a force on the surface of the sneak attacker's body, similar to the protective shield on the crystal building behind him, and a burst of red light flashed, directly canceling out most of the force.
“&%¥*&%¥&*”
A word came from the direction where the sneak attacker was, Chen Xi couldn't understand what it meant, but he could feel what she wanted to do.
"It's not that easy to leave."
If you haven't exchanged for the Sasim Demon before. The Hell Flame emitted by Chen Xi could not be controlled in the three-dimensional back, but now with the addition of Supreme Demonic Energy, the control of the Demon Flame has become simpler. The two demonic flames that should have been deflected slightly turned in one direction and returned to the trajectory of the hit.
Bang, bang, two explosions rang out.
The two demon flames are both slashed before being really hit, but it doesn't matter, its attack method is originally based on the burning nature of the demon flame itself, and the explosion effect is just a foil, once the demon flame that condenses a large amount of negative energy emotions is contaminated with the body, it can produce a burst of intense pain and torture in the spirit in a targeted manner.
“*&(&…… ¥”
The sneak attacker screamed, his hands holding his head as he churned in the air. It is also affected by the burning effect of the Demon Flame itself. The invisibility was broken, and a powerful and elegant image of a warrior appeared in front of Chen Xi's eyes.
Two scimitars with a length of more than one meter and a half, glowing bright red, were held in the hands of the sneak attacker, judging by the proportions of the limbs. Her arms are longer than those of humans. Holding the scimitar, it appears more prominent than the body. This is also related to her relatively slender figure, even if she is wearing black crystal armor with conspicuous purple stripes, and her head is held with both hands. However, judging from the outline, it is within the acceptable range of human beings.
"Ever since I knew that I wanted to get acquainted with a new race, I was always worried about this kind of problem, if it was similar to the strange appearance of those low-level aliens I met in the last game, it would definitely be a tragedy for this mission, but fortunately, this image did not disappoint," Chen Xi rejoiced.
Although the stealth effect was restored immediately, the image just now at least gave Chen Xi a bottom, the federal soldiers would not reflexively hit the bullet in their faces when they encountered this race, as long as they thought about it, they knew that it would be a very bad ending.
This time, the demon flame finally caused some actual killing effects, the crystals on the sneak attacker's body were shattered, and some traces of burning appeared on his body, however, the spiritual blow that Chen Xi had pinned great hopes on did not react much, and the sneak attacker only screamed for a while, and then recovered, and the stealth effect naturally returned to normal.
I saw her bounce on the mushroom a few times, and then she disappeared into the shadows, and all the spores that she had used to manifest just now were burned by the magic flames.
Compared with Chen Xi's side, the battle on An Yumo's side ended faster.
With the previous spores, it is natural not to worry about what will happen to An Yumo, who has strong frontal combat effectiveness.
When Chen Xi turned his head to look, An Yumo had already walked over with an object that was probably a sneak attacker, and then threw it on the ground in front of him with a bang, and there was no sound during the whole process.
"It's not going to die, is it?" Chen Xi couldn't help but ask worriedly, if An Yumo accidentally killed this so-called Dark Templar, then they might face some unnecessary troubles, such as how to mediate the hostile relationship between the two sides.
"No, it should just be a faint, there is something on her body that can withstand my attacks, and a lot of crystal shards fall out when she is hit." An Yumo replied.
"That's good, with this hostage here, I believe that there should be another person from that mysterious race in the near future." Chen Xi put his mind at ease and said, "But her ability seems to be permanently invisible, even if she faints, it will not matter, we must be very careful, otherwise it is easy to accidentally let her wake up and run away." ”
Chen Xi didn't go anywhere else, since the appearance of the two sneak attackers was to prevent him from entering the crystal building, then he naturally wanted to go in and have a look first, this is how curiosity comes from, the more he wants to stop something, the more it can arouse the interest of others.
After re-preparing, Chen Xi took An Yumo into the crystal building, obviously, the recognition function of this protective shield is a bit low-level, and even the sneak attackers with coma can be directly brought inside.
Here Chen Xi discovered its function in addition to purifying and maintaining the planetary environment: "A lot of model devices of equal scale, the tube above is connected to those lead-white liquids, obviously, here is the transformation of the creatures of this planet, injecting this liquid metal, forming a layer of armor on the body surface of these creatures, and even other transformations to make them more terrifying and this, the armor shape I saw from the sneak attacker just now, but there is no crystal equipped." ”
In Chen Xi's eyes, this was completely the function of a large arsenal, which made him even more sure that the sneak attacker who had left before would go and return, and it was impossible for them to give up such an important place.
……
And on the ground, the intensity of the artillery fire began to decrease. After a period of resistance, the monsters' attacks became less and less, and the fierce battles became less unbearable, and many people had free time to pay attention to other aspects.
"What about Chen Fala, he went there, why didn't he see him come back?"
Someone who went underground before was remembered, if it weren't for his timely reminder and the army outside to prepare in advance, I'm afraid this battle wouldn't be as easy as it is now, and suddenly encountered so many monster attacks. The losses are bound to be not small.
"Contact has been lost on the signal. Could it be that something happened below? ”
Someone found out that something was wrong, and then, after some detailed inquiry, the specific information was summarized on the helmets of all commanders.
He and a special soldier of the Cobra Force dispersed with most of the people on the way back, turning to the direction of the other caves. Didn't see him come back for a while."
"Do you want to send someone in to find it? He may still be alive. But I don't even believe in this sentence. Everyone knows how many monsters have escaped from below in the previous period, even if they are protected by the special soldiers of the Cobra force, they will definitely not be spared.
"I think it's a bit of a surprise for the time being. Through the previous researchers, it was found that the time for monsters to come out will last for a long time, and we must be careful of these guys who have come out, in terms of durability, they are no weaker than bugs. A commander suggested.
"But will this be more chilling, I think it is better to be voluntary, and the troops led by Commander Chen Fala will draw volunteers, and then go down with other soldiers who are willing to go." The other commander's proposal was more humane.
In the midst of the discussion, the team of researchers, who were not originally involved in the arrangement of actual matters, also chimed in.
"Commanders, please allow us to say something, after our exploration, we found that the cave is currently full of a very deadly gas for the creatures of the native planet, which is also the main reason why the monsters living in it come out, in other words, the cave is very safe, if you are looking for someone, now is the best chance, and we suspect that the planetary influence device of that race is underground, and if we want to explore their secrets, now is also the most appropriate time."
In the end, after some discussion, it was decided to send a team of volunteers to explore with the researchers who were willing to go down, as the commander later said, and the main force was still protecting the arch-shaped crystal building on it, waiting for the researchers to complete the research and restoration work.
This is the command mode of interstellar warfare, the wide application of high-power weapons, so that the actual number of combatants in any war area is reduced to a very low level, with the firepower they form is enough to cover any range of this battlefield, therefore, in the ground command, usually by the actual combat commander to lead a combat unit (usually 500 people) to carry out tactical objectives, and then the strategic commander on the air ship remotely release combat objectives, formulate a strategic layout.
It is only during the landing phase or in space that a strategic commander actually takes over the command of a combat unit, placing their operations under the larger combat unit. As for the confined atmosphere of PEJ-X4, it is not possible to communicate well, and the reason for not sending a higher-ranking commander down is that it is not in line with Federation tradition.
In the face of this action, many evolutionaries are interested in joining, after all, in their eyes, it is likely to be part of the mission, and may be helpful for the deepening of the mission. And for those who have been rescued by Chen Xi on the planet Tifa, it is naturally their unshirkable obligation to carry out this operation. Coupled with some of the Federation soldiers who admired Chen Xi's actions, at least that's what they said.
In the end, the number of people gathered together reached a staggering 458, which was not much less than the actual combat unit of a combat unit.
This result made many commanders realize Chen Xi's influence among ordinary federal soldiers, and they were more willing to believe Chen Xi for fear of accidents.
"If he is still alive, I am afraid that when he comes back this time, his prestige will rise to another level." Many commanders have such a consensus.
……
A little later, some people on the strategic cruiser far away in space, after receiving information about the launch from the planet PEJ-X4 and learning what was happening, became uneasy.
"This guy is actually dead." The Comoros' tone was full of disbelief.
"Obviously, he was unlucky, he didn't rush to the front without anything, and he stayed with those researchers, everyone knows that whether it's a movie or a TV series, these guys have a collective nickname, called the Grim Reaper in White, where they exist, there will always be death and bad luck." Sarkozy felt a little emotional and regretful.
They were now ready to go, and with reinforcements boarded five hospital transports, they were about to rush to the valley where the previous wave of troops had existed with ammunition supplies. At this time, when I heard that the person I wanted to kill the most in this mission was so unexpectedly hung up, it was hard not to feel some emotions in my heart.
"Dead is dead, we have more important things to do, originally planned to use this guy who has been supported by many soldiers to gain the trust of the Protoss, but now we have to play the role of heroes and turn the tide in the sudden attack of the Zerg." Kennan was not affected by the emotions in his heart, he had a bigger goal.
After knowing the arrangements of the brain-controlled worms, Kenan already knew what their plans were.
Cooperate with the Zerg Raid Force that will appear later to put on a big show for the Hidden Protoss who will stay on this planet, in fact, most of the soldiers who board this reinforcement force have already been controlled by the infected. (To be continued......)
