Chapter 434: Monsters Appear
Even regular Awakened seem to have a slight chance of being in danger, let alone in this damn location and bad timing;
Here, at this time, the process of Felinti's step-by-step awakening is also accompanied by the formation of hidden dangers, and it is difficult to imagine what kind of impact the filthy planetary psychic sea will have on the spiritual and material levels in the process of its awakening
However, the captain himself is neither a psionic nor a member of a force who has access to psionic secrets, so it is not easy to determine the relevant situation as an ordinary security team leader;
At present, the series of judgments he makes are mostly speculations based on what he has seen and experience, and there are mistakes, omissions, and deficiencies, which are by no means conclusions that can be fully trusted.
But even so, if he could, the captain would not hesitate to kill Felinti, killing the troublesome psyker who might be awakening;
So far, he has not been able to provide accurate predictions, and at this time he has changed from an early warning tool to a pure hidden danger, so even if it is just a wrong judgment based on speculation, the team members do not dare to hand over their backs to him, and give it to this hidden danger that seems to be between bombing and not exploding.
Unfortunately, you can't kill it, because the evil order is also order, and if you violate the rules that are exercised, you will face a potentially more severe punishment.

It's like a dirty and foul-smelling sewer, which needs to be cleaned by the stationed staff from time to time to clean up the filth in various senses, otherwise it will affect the normal operation of the entire system, and then interfere with the huge gold-swallowing capacity of the upper area, and thus bring losses to the main control force behind it.
However, cleaning is not easy, and the special environment there increases the chance of illness for the assigned employees, and it is also a big problem with contagiousness, high incubation period, and severe outbreak symptoms;
As a result, both the regular employees themselves and the forces behind them are reluctant to let their direct forces risk contracting the sewers to work.
It may be fine to go there once in a while to deal with some trouble, but being stationed all year round poses a risk to the individual and the faction to which it belongs, so it is necessary to replace the garrison with a non-connected force.
This sewer is called the Fallen Commercial Star, and the diseases infected in it can be called the Fall, and the various Fallency, which may not be as contagious as the Transcendent Virus, is not weak at all in the cohesion of civilization and power.
Different from the transcendent virus, the Fallen Disease also has the ability to spread across the star field, no matter how far away it is, and no matter whether there is frequent contact between people, as long as it belongs to the area of one power, it is possible to invisibly infect it, which is also the main principle of depraved transmission in the source of Type 2.
The consequences of being infiltrated by the Diseased Lurkers into the main body of influence will have the potential to develop to catastrophic levels, and the black and white parties, including civilizations and interstellar pirates, regardless of their own ability to fight this contagion, have the principle of no contact if they can, and are generally reluctant to put permanent forces in similar areas.
A little smaller size means that there is a lack of buffer space, and after the symptoms reach a certain level, it will usher in a group decline more quickly, although the large body has more buffer space, but it can also raise a larger evil root, as if it is a symbiosis that is difficult to be removed...
All in all, all parties, large and small forces, including the Black and White Path, are unwilling to let this type of hidden danger happen in their own homes, regardless of whether they can deal with this type of hidden danger.
In the meantime, when the relevant rumors accumulated by the outside world for hundreds of thousands of years are mixed with some experience from the main controller's own body, it constitutes such a system of separation and operation.
~~~
If the planet here is regarded as such a sewer, then the quick anti-security is a temporary worker who is stationed here for the orbital force;
The huge population pool and uninformed people behind the power make the candidates for the security force in a very abundant state, so it can also be said that they are just a group of cheap consumables.
But although it is a consumable, it is not something that everyone is qualified to consume, and it is definitely not something that can be killed by two tricks when there is nothing to do, but there is a relatively sound reward and punishment system.
In fact, as far as the faction belonging, the person behind them is definitely the evil side, which can be concluded only from the content of various operations;
However, evil does not have to be accompanied by chaos, and the main control force on this side is indeed maintaining a considerable degree of order, otherwise it would be impossible for the vault cities on the surface to operate.
Because he hadn't actually met a few times, and there hadn't been much face-to-face effective communication, the squad leader didn't know too much about what kind of state the orbital garrison was in;
But at least within the Surface Rapid Reaction United, the higher-ups cannot arbitrarily punish or even kill grassroots units without proper reasons.
So of course, he, the leader of the temporary foreman, who can be said to be extremely small, will never have the right to execute the lives of his team members, and if he really kills without permission, he will inevitably die a miserable death, which is equivalent to the limit of one for one.
After all, no matter how evil the forces are, it will have to spend corresponding resources to recruit and train qualified temporary workers, especially in this degenerate commercial star with no usual residents, and it is not as easy to transfer people from the outside world as it is to take a train from the countryside to pull migrant workers;
In addition, in addition to the general costs such as economy and time, how to extend the shelf life of the garrison in a special environment is actually a part of the consideration of high-level parties;
The results of years of accumulated experience have proved that maintaining a relatively sound and healthy order is a more effective method for relevant parties;
This will not insulate them from the contagion of the Fall, but it will make their incubation period longer and their mental state more stable during the incubation period.
In this way, these Fallen Star residents will have a longer shelf life, and the forces above their heads that rely on them to maintain law and order and make money from Fallen Star will naturally support the continued operation of this model, and then let the Ground Residents work for them for a longer period of time, until the unknown erupts.

For now, the most effective way to avoid disasters is to stay away from the source of the alarm, away from the unstable guy around them, if they can run, the captain will inevitably flee immediately with the team, but the current situation makes them unable to really make such a choice
If they dare to run away now, it means that they have escaped the protection of order, and the warlords on all sides will not hesitate to kill them;
When the time comes, whether it is an invisible attack from extremely high altitude or the rest of the functions on the armor except for combat, it can be guaranteed to usher in death when it runs a distance of less than 100 meters;
Whether it is executed by a headshot or turned into fireworks due to a self-detonation of armor, it can be a good deterrent to the wings to set an example.
That is to say, although the captain and his colleagues have believed what Felinti said, they must also try to save their lives until the last moment in the limited space and within the scope allowed by the rules.
jumped dozens of meters to transfer the car, suppressed the team members to make them unable to move, and even used a firearm to break Felinti's mask just now, and raised his fist to give him a physical awakening;
The commotion was actually not small, even if the teams were at least nearly 100 meters apart, they still attracted the surprised attention of several teams around them, wondering if they were having some infighting.
【… Wing... Captain, explain your current behavior at once. 】
The Overseer's cold words rang in his ears, urging the team leader to explain his actions against the team, and if he couldn't say anything, things would get troublesome.
While scolding Ferin for being a fool in his heart, although the squad leader can use his actions and words just now, and take advantage of the fear and even resistance of those who don't know the truth, to find a reason for his punches and kicks;
But when the words came to his lips, he realized that there was no need to cover him up, and decided to tell the truth about the suspected spiritual awakening, as long as the time was slightly confused, he could completely throw this trouble out and give it a headache without being punished, and it would not attract too much attention from the relevant departments.
But before anyone around him could really ask about it, and before he could report it to the Overseer about Felinti, the movement from a distance, and the successive screams that sounded from several directions, made everyone's attention suddenly deflect from this corner, and they all looked in the direction from which the sound came from with some nervousness or fear.
~~~~~~~~
Even though the more than 10,000 soldiers who were advancing from all sides walked relatively slowly, what they knew and the surveillance that had always existed overhead made the more than 100 wings that were divided into all sides actually not dare to really advance at a turtle speed;
Therefore, there was only a hundred kilometers of travel, and there was still a moment when they were finished, and when they were at the forefront of several directions, each of them was less than a few kilometers away from the alarm source, the attack from the unknown creature also suddenly appeared.
A strange huge figure burst out of the wall, and the debris of the building swept through the area like an ancient shotgun, breaking through the armor and bursting a puff of blood inside, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of sky-flying airships fell, smashing on the top of the building, on the waist, and on the ground below, making a jingling sound of parts falling in all directions.
With a 'bang', the captain saw the situation in the distance through his visor, and when the smoke and dust cleared, he saw the monster rush out again, roaring at his own side and dancing his forelimbs and tail violently.
Under its vigorous force, the broken building materials were pumped again and again, carrying strong kinetic energy to form waves of attacks, and the soldiers who were in the front row in all directions were immediately hit by these stone or gold building materials, and the unlucky ones were shattered one by one The armor around their bodies was shattered, and their flesh and blood bodies naturally could not bear the residual power, and they were also torn apart by passive energy bombardment.
Fortunately, the wing's forward is not a three-dimensional spatial arrangement, but lowers the height of the lower part of the building, and moves forward in a line under the cover of more material structures;
Therefore, this series of long-range building material bombardments did not cause much casualties in fact, except for those most unlucky fighters whose bodies were directly shattered, more of those who were hit were destroyed by the larger target of the airboat and motorcycle;
Less than a hundred fighters died on the spot, and the rest fell to the ground from a height of more than a hundred or hundreds of meters;
In the middle of the journey, some use the short-distance flight function of the armor as a buffer to achieve a smooth landing;
In some cases, even if the brain was not very clear when the airship exploded, even if it fell to the ground because of this, the armor on its body played a protective role, and the dizziness caused by it was dispelled in a short time.
As a result, after the end of the staggering pre-wave attack, the actual casualties and intensity of the attack were not as bad as Felinti had predicted.
The thing in the distance was actually more like a monster lacking intelligence, and although he and the other wings might not be able to defeat it, the team leader could hardly believe that it could be arrogant for too long under the direction of the orbital weapon.
This puzzled the team members, and the first thing that came to mind was... Maybe Felinti wasn't psionic awakening, but simply frightened and stupid?
At the same time, the captain also looked over with some doubts, and found that the target he was facing was different from his own in many ways.
~~~
It wasn't the direction of his own team that was affected, but the team leader's attention was already attracted by the monsters in the air in the distance
Although the armor worn by the captain is not very advanced, and it still has the self-detonation characteristics that exist in the sky, but the rest of the functions that should be there are actually them;
For example, at this moment, the unknown creature several kilometers away was clearly reflected in front of him, the hair on the top of it was as thick as a silver snake, and the naked body had silver-white scale armor that looked like bone and gold, and it looked a little like a giant intelligent creature, but there was a sense of disobedience that seemed to indicate that it was a monster.
Although the team leader has been confined to the place of birth and here in this life, he can also learn about the current situation of the race of the Great River system through the planet's intranet, to be honest, this thing looks a bit like the Lisaian intelligent species, of course, the size and the evil posture shrouded in black fog are not the posture they should have.
Thinking of the peculiar circumstances of this place, and the terrible industry that was operating here, he felt that he might have guessed what the truth was, and that they might be about to pay the price for their accomplices.

In the far orbit space, there are satellite bases with a width of more than 100 kilometers and a length of hundreds or nearly 1,000 kilometers, surrounded by large beetles or small flea-like aircraft, and the direction they face seems to be the surface space 'below'.
This is the real garrison of the Cave Masters, and they are now waiting for orders from within the satellite, ready to go to the surface at an opportune time to complete their mission and return to the satellite base as quickly as possible.
