Chapter 23: Retreat
When it was determined that the Thousand Worlds One Ride that the Middle-earth team was riding might be in this universe, Kiana Kaslana decided to ask for help, but if she wanted to find the Middle-earth team, she needed some other methods, such as a high-powered signal transmitter and receiver.
There is basically no need and possibility to make such a device in the current civilization, so Kiana did not find a modern device that meets the conditions after a round of investigation, but there are remnants of some relics of the previous civilization that meet the conditions, so this time her action is to enter the instrument and activate the device.
Because of the battle between the previous civilization and the Lawgiver of Rock, the entire planet has basically undergone many geological changes, and even if there are no changes, 50,000 years is enough time for the sea to turn into a mulberry field.
As a result, the ruins that concealed the target instrument sank into the depths of the ocean.
There are many leftover aircraft or other diving facilities from previous civilizations, but they are all old and cannot be used without maintenance for the time being, but fortunately, the god-killing armor on Kiana's body was designed to meet the needs of space operations, so this armor can not only support Kiana to go into space alone, but also ensure that she dives into the deep sea when needed.
In a certain way, the scientific and technological gold content of the god-killing armor is far more than the Valkyrie armor made by the current civilization Mandate of Heaven, of course, the Valkyrie armor made by the Mandate of Heaven must also fully consider the problem of cost performance, and it is naturally impossible to use the real top technology, only those S-level Valkyries or knights can use the highest-tech armor.
Kiana entered the depths of the ocean, and at first she could still look up and see the sunlight coming down from the horizontal plane, but as the depth of the ocean increased, the sunlight she could see became shallower and lighter, and the surrounding water became darker and darker, and finally it became almost black.
But Kiana also doesn't need to rely solely on her eyes to judge her position and observe her surroundings, because in a truly high-intensity battle, the human eye is often unable to react, and relying solely on the eyes is not good news for a warrior.
As early as the pre-civilization, Kiana could rely on the Taixu Sword Qi to hone the sword heart, sensing the surrounding environment and scenes in a dark and lightless environment, and in the current civilization, after having the god-killing armor, the radar inside the Shishen armor can amplify this ability, so that Kiana can completely close her eyes and do not rely on hearing, and other physical perception abilities, completely rely on the sixth sense to fight.
And now it's the same, other people can 'see' some plankton floating in the deep sea from time to time, as well as those fish that live in the deep sea with strange appearances, because of the collapse of the reason, the original strange deep-sea fish are evolving at will at this time, and many fish can almost be said to have a Cthulhu style, so that ordinary people will be directly shocked when they see it.
Kiana crossed a canyon deep in the sea, and then she came to her destination, an abandoned ruin.
The entrance to the ruins has long been opened, and she can see the dormant warehouse arranged in the pre-civilization era inside the ruins, and the dormant bin has also been opened, but it is already empty, maybe when it is opened, the people who were sleeping in it were directly lost because of the sudden arrival of the high-intensity water pressure, or maybe the ruins did not sink into the deep sea at that time, so they did not close the door after leaving, in short, what the truth is, no one knows what the matter is.
Continue to look inside, you can see the control center of the entire ruins that was once arranged, the central computer has been eroded by the sea, and a lot of dust has accumulated on the computer that originally looked very sci-fi, under this dust this is originally full of all kinds of sea creatures, but these sea creatures are now completely dead, because this depth is not suitable for those sea creatures to live, so now there are only some corpses left, From this, it can be seen that the ruins did not actually sink into such a deep sea at the beginning, but were slowly deposited later.
The central computer must not be looked at, it must have been scrapped after being submerged in water for so long, although this central computer has been estimated to have a life span of at least 50,000 years when it was designed, it is deposited in water, and it will definitely accelerate the consumption of life.
Kiana also casually pressed the start button of a few computers, and when she found that there was no response, she immediately went inside to explore.
At this time, the ruins were not small, and when they were designed, they may have thought of accommodating hundreds of people, and there were not only those sleeping pods inside the ruins, but also some other entertainment areas, work areas, and rest areas divided into them.
Perhaps this device was designed for another purpose, which is to try to see if humans would trigger some reactions from Honkai after recovering from the ruins and not going outside.
In addition, this may also involve some plans of Raiden Mei, otherwise there would not be such a high-power signal transceiver device inside this ruin, after passing through all the areas, he finally came to the deepest and most central place of this ruin, Kiana saw a dark blue light, in the deep sea, except for the god-killing armor on her body, she would never see a trace of light, but now in this area, a device is emitting a faint blue light.
It was a very special instrument, a glass cylindrical table was standing in the center, with a base and ceiling of blue-white but dust-covered ceramic composite metal material above and below, and the inside of the glass beads was filled with a blue liquid, which was the liquid that glowed, and what this instrument protected was actually a special device in the instrument.
A very special sphere that looks like flesh and blood, but is actually closer to plastic in texture.
This is the signal emitting device researched by the previous civilization, and the technology used is a certain kind of biotechnology researched from the Honkai beast, and it is the effect of this biotechnology that this instrument can be preserved from 50,000 years ago to the present, and it can still be used, and to some extent, the lifespan of the Honkai creation is far greater than that of human creations.
Kiana brushed the console of the device with one hand, activated the device, and the CNC light screen appeared in front of her eyes.
After that, she began to transmit coordinates to the interior according to the position that she had obtained before, and then activated the instrument, and a special signal began to spread continuously into the universe, if the Thousand Worlds One Factor received this signal, as long as there was a crew inside, it was very likely to send a signal to the Earth.
After all this is done, the next thing you need to do is wait patiently for the signal coming back from the universe, of course, if there is no signal coming back, it can only mean one thing, that is, the Thousand Worlds One Multiplication is actually not in this universe, but is located inside a certain world bubble.
Kiana hesitated for a moment and then completely turned off the transceiver device in front of her, because if she continued to leave this device here, it was likely to lead to a follow-up investigation by Destiny, and now she didn't want Destiny to know about the Central Continent team for the time being.
However, when leaving this sea area, Kiana felt a strong Honkai energy reaction not far away, and through her perception, she found that this should be the Valkyrie force of Destiny, and there was an aquatic Honkai beast fighting in the middle of the sea.
After hesitating for a moment, Kiana chose to make a move, because she sensed that the Valkyrie seemed to be at a disadvantage now, and if she continued to fight, it was very likely that the Valkyrie would be attritional, and the water god's Honkai Beast actually hid quite a lot of strength, and this may also be a very special Honkai Beast, which already has its own perception and thinking, and knows how to hide in battle.
The aquatic Honkai Beast seems to be an octopus-like creature, his body is hidden under a very special armor, this armor is dark blue in the sea, and can rebound energy attacks, resist physical damage, and the strength is 10 points high, before the logistics troops have launched several mine bombs under the cover of the Valkyrie troops, but they have not achieved anything, those armors seem to have a high concentration of Honkai can pass through some kind of arrangement of condensation layers, Whether it's resistance to Honkai energy or resistance to physical damage, it's all reached a certain extreme.
Now that the Valkyrie troops have fallen into a state of exhaustion, Himiko has made up her mind that if there is still no breakthrough result within 10 minutes, the Valkyrie troops will retreat directly, but she herself will stay to cover, after all, if there is no one to cover the retreat, the retreat will easily turn into a rout, and by that time the Valkyries of the Far Eastern Branch will definitely suffer heavy losses.
As for herself, although the A-level Valkyrie will be lost because of this, Himiko also knows that although the A-level Valkyrie is actually nominally the main combat force of the Mandate of Heaven, there will basically not be many in each branch, and there is even only one in the Far East Branch, but as long as the headquarters is determined to expand resources, it can still quickly find one from the remaining B-level Valkyries to be promoted, plus the S-level Valkyrie Delisha may soon recover from her injuries and return to the Far East, So there won't be much turmoil at all.
As long as the strength is preserved, then there will still be no problems in the next crusade against this Honkai Beast, especially if the current information is obtained.
"Can the reserve Valkyrie troops go there for cover?" After Mei learned the intelligence news from the front line, she immediately investigated, and found that almost all the weapons existing in the branch could not cause damage to the Honkai beast in such a deep sea area, she immediately decided to retreat, but the retreat is not just a direct retreat, someone must cover to be able to let the Valkyrie troops who fought on the front line leave smoothly.
After all, those Valkyrie troops have been fighting for quite a long time from entering the sea to now, and there have even been some damage, if they are allowed to retreat regardless of it, they will definitely be pursued after the collapse.
So Mei immediately raised this question, but the logistics staff next to her could only respond with an embarrassed face: "In order to make the battle go smoothly, all the Valkyrie armor that can enter the deep sea has been used, and if you want to get enough Valkyrie armor that can enter the deep sea battle in a short time, I am afraid you can only seconded it to other branches, and most of the Valkyries who stay in the logistics are actually C-level Valkyries, and the combat is ......"
The logistics staff didn't say much, but there was an embarrassment on their faces.
Mei has fully understood that the C-level Valkyries are indeed not suitable for frontal combat, not to mention the difficult task of entering the deep sea to cover and retreat, maybe there will be some Valkyries who will have a stress reaction just after entering the deep sea.
As for borrowing armor from other branches, it would be better to simply ask for help from other branches, and then you could even borrow the Valkyries together.
However, this matter is not so easy, because every Mandate of Heaven branch in the world must be responsible for the stability of an area, so once the Valkyrie in charge of the battle rescues other areas, it is likely to cause problems in the defense of her own area, not to mention that it may be too late for the players to act now, even if the Valkyries act quickly, with the help of the aerospace vehicle, they will immediately arrive at the destination, and it will be half an hour later at the earliest.
And half an hour later, the Valkyries of the Far Eastern Branch who entered the deep sea to fight may have already been completely defeated or even died.
"We have to think of other ways, gather all the mines, number them according to my instructions, and then shoot all the mines out within half a minute according to the coordinates of the number, and notify the captain in advance to retreat!" May said.
This is already the best way she can think of at the moment, using mines to cover, no matter how hard the armor of the Honkai Beast is, under the intensive bombardment of so many mines in a short period of time, it will definitely lose the perception of the outside step, as long as the Valkyries withdraw a considerable distance during this time, it may be possible to get out of the sensing range of the Honkai Beast.
Of course, things are not completely absolute, and it is also possible that the result is that the Valkyries were caught up by the Honkai Beasts because of the sloppy formation when they retreated, and they were broken one by one, and in the end only a few people were left alive to return to the coast.
Mei announced her thoughts to Himiko in the sea.
Himiko didn't object, she actually had a better way, and that was to build on Mei's plan, and let herself stay behind to stop the Honkaimon from possibly pursuing while the other Valkyries retreated.
In that way, basically all the Valkyries can be evacuated safely, but she herself will definitely be completely entangled by the crazy Honkai Beast later, and she will never be able to escape.
