Chapter 17: Repression

The first target was successfully defeated, and everyone in the vanguard team breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they had already been vaccinated before participating in this battle, and knew that they were about to face some incredible enemies, it was still difficult to guarantee that there would be no psychological fluctuations when they really faced it.

The team fought steadily, first setting up a line of defense at the original barrier.

Follow-up supplies were also brought in, and the space engineering vehicles set up several defensive bunkers and batteries here.

Stepping into the area behind the barrier, Daniel's first sensation was oppression, an all-pervasive oppression.

There was only a wall of them, but the atmosphere on both sides was very different, and the light seemed to be unable to completely illuminate the area, and a thick haze was wafting everywhere.

Even inside the power armor, Daniel felt as if he was immersed in the depths of the ocean.

Every time he takes a breath, he needs to exert force on his own and move his body, as if he has encountered invisible resistance.

Daniel, as a "capable person", his own physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and when other fighters encounter the same situation, they are already exhausted and out of breath after walking less than ten meters away.

It can't go on like this, and before you meet the enemy, you lose your combat effectiveness first.

Daniel was about to get everyone to retreat beyond the barrier when he suddenly felt a force penetrate his entire body from the top of his head.

This power allowed him to instantly get rid of the invisible resistance that bound him, and Daniel felt as if he had broken free from the shackles, and felt much more relaxed.

Not only him, but the other advance team members also discovered this, they were panting just now, and they couldn't straighten their waists, but now they are fierce again.

"It's ...... The strength that the Lord has given us? It had been a long time since Daniel had had a spiritual connection with the Lord, but he had always been sure that the Lord was still by his side.

He folded his hands and looked up straight up, as if looking up at the infinite distance above his head, which was where the Lord was, the direction of the Lord's existence.

Many warriors who were not followers also joined in praying to the Lord, and in the pious prayers of the multitude, a soft light lit up on everyone.

This soft light dispelled the gloom that surrounded them, and the dark world in the Red Zone was illuminated by themselves.

……

Tang Hao has not received everyone's prayers for a long time, and since he acted in the mortal world as White Tang, everyone seems to have lost their devotion and hope for the "Lord".

This is also the result of his own dilution of his identity, and the "Journey to the Underworld" did not become a religious group, it was Tang Hao's own choice.

However, after upgrading to the "Lord of the Starry Sky", Tang Hao suddenly felt that with his current ability, it seemed that it was not enough to confront those powerful forces in the subspace head-on.

Maybe you have to rely on everyone's power to protect everyone in turn.

Just like now, after the advance team members entered the Red Zone, the warped world exerted extremely terrible pressure on each of them.

This kind of pressure is enough to make a normal person fall into despair, even power armor can't protect them and help them.

So, Tang Hao used the method of "high-dimensional projection" to project enhanced energy for the advance team members, and sure enough, the energy of high-dimensional projection allowed them to get rid of the oppression of the distorted world and return to a normal state.

After receiving the strength, the prayers of the advance team members also gave Tang Hao the same strength.

The white ocean in which he was located was filled with joy because of the power of faith.

This is the connection between "gods" and believers, and Tang Hao lamented that he had finally embarked on the same old path.

……

Daniel's advance team began to open up a safe area for the rest of the team to settle in.

They made their way through a blood-stained area to a crossroads.

This intersection is an overpass, and the underside of the bridge is covered with a thick fog, making it impossible to see the emptiness below.

In the structural diagram given by the adjutant F027, this should be a multi-storey warehouse, and the overpass is the traffic artery leading to each floor.

Now in this multi-storey warehouse, I don't know what is occupying, Daniel always feels as if there is something in the thick fog against him.

"The teams are on guard at the intersection, and whatever they see, shoot directly!" Once the order was placed, Daniel called the rest of the team and told them that they could now follow along.

For the sake of safety, with each advance of the combat corps, defensive facilities were built.

The Cobra and the multi-legged mechariot had reached the crossroads, and they were at a loss for what to do in the face of the fog obstructing their vision in all directions.

"Daniel, let's use a carpet search." Lias walked over in power armor, pointed to a large road, and said, "Just start over there." ”

Daniel shook his head: "Lias, the dense fog is blocking the firing range, if we rush in, once we engage the enemy, it is very likely that the follow-up troops will not be able to support." ”

Lias thought for a moment and said, "That'...... Shall we find a way to dispel the fog here? ”

Everyone was brainstorming, and the area behind them suddenly became chaotic, and several soldiers seemed to have lost their minds and began to "whoop" and scream.

Fortunately, each team had a dedicated overseer, and when something was wrong, the overseers immediately stopped the soldier's power armor, so that there was no greater confusion.

"What's going on?" Britz, the commander of the middle force, approached several paralyzed soldiers, trapped in power armor, still screaming.

One of the squad leaders said: "I don't know what happened, but after we entered the Red Zone, we were blessed by the 'Lord' and broke free from the oppression of the Red Zone. ”

"But after entering this area, this is the area, the area stained red with blood, the situation of these soldiers is not quite right."

"They seem to be very irritable, and they have repeatedly turned on the weapon safety without stopping."

"Fortunately, we found out in time and suspended their power armor, so there was no human damage."

His handling was indeed timely, and it was hard to imagine what would have happened if these few out-of-control soldiers had used their weapons.

With a wave of his hand, Britz called for several multi-legged mechanical chariots and sent the "whooping" soldiers back to safety.

After leaving the blood-stained area, the soldiers' spirits gradually stabilized, and by the time they left the red zone, they had basically returned to their normal state.

The on-team therapists in the support unit began to check their mental status, and the result was that they may have intermittent epilepsy.
