2190. Miracle Operation (1)
After arriving at Rafa system Planet Five, Dr. Yako-Vesti immediately took them to his research center and said, "Then if my guess is correct, Mind-harp should be the Great Cataclysm that Saru people used to survive one hundred thousand years ago."
"But it seems they failed." The scientist leading the Duchy of Dawn team was named Wang Tao. He looked at the primitive people outside the window who were shouting at the spaceships in the sky, and frowned and said, "If just If your theory is correct, Toka people is the degeneration of Saru people, which means that they, like Kilik Swarm, degenerated into their original state during the cataclysm a hundred thousand years ago."
"If this is the case, Mind-harp should not still exist." Dr. Yako said, "There must be something hidden in that disaster."
He kept walking and came to a glass-domed room on the top floor of the institute, pointed into the distance and said, "Look, this is Saru people Relics on Planet Five."
Wang Tao They looked from here, and sure enough, from the dome room, there was an endless plain, and in the middle of the plain stood more than a dozen extremely huge pyramids.
In fact, it is somewhat inaccurate to say it is a pyramid, because these buildings are not triangular, but square cone-shaped. And these pyramids are very high, at least several hundred meters high, and the tallest one in the center is even as high as a thousand meters!
"These are the things... we still call these pyramids 'Plastic Pyramid' (plastic pyramids), because their materials are very special and can isolate us from scanning by almost every sensor. And, even though they are at least 100,000 years old, these pyramids still remain mostly intact." Dr. Yako said.
"The pyramid found Mind-harp is the tallest one." Dr. Wang Tao pointed forward and said.
"Let's go and have a look. We have an all-terrain off-road vehicle here. If you are willing to help us pay for the fuel, I will be happy to take you there..." Dr. Yako was mid-sentence when he was picked up by the impatient Ghost Agent behind him.
"If you mention money to me again, I will break your neck right now." Ghost Agent said coldly.
Dr. Yako quickly said, "Over there... over there, we have designed a scanner that can perform basic scanning on Plastic Pyramid's special material. Bring it... bring it with you."
In the end, they took the spaceship because the shabby off-road vehicle was too small and could only carry four people.
The spacecraft flew around the pyramid at low altitude. Dr. Yako started the scanner that looked very shabby, with wires, boxes and pipes almost everywhere. Only the structure of the pyramid was projected in the holographic projection.
"This scanner can only penetrate about 5 meters of Plastic Pyramid's special material. When we had enough budget, we conducted a comprehensive scan of this pyramid. Originally we thought these pyramids were solid, but until we found this location." Dr. Yako directed the pilot to drive the spacecraft to a place near the top of the pyramid.
"There is a gap here, and the cross section is very neat. It is visually caused by a laser weapon. But to be honest, I don't know what laser weapon can cause such damage to Plastic Pyramid." Dr. Yako said, "This kind of pyramid is very strong, and most importantly, it is very heat-resistant. Even if we use a high-power laser, we can't melt this material. But fortunately, this gap allows us to detect something else."
He pointed at the holographic projection and said, "Look, the position of this gap allows our scanner to penetrate... Then we discovered that these pyramids are all hollow! Not only that, we found one of the energy transmission lines in them! And then this line leads directly to the underground! In other words, there is something underground in these pyramids, and there is a high probability of energy supply!"
Wang Tao frowned and said, "It looks like it, this pyramid has secrets. Well, there should be an entrance and exit, right? Let's go in now."
Dr. Yako looked back with some fear at Ghost Agent who was standing behind, and said with a smile, "Of course I know we need to find a way to get in. I mean... can you... uh, support us with some money... ah no no no! I mean equipment! Equipment!"
When he saw Ghost Agent coming over again, he quickly waved his hands and shouted, "We really have no equipment and no funds! Otherwise we would have dug this pyramid long ago!"
Wang Tao sighed, pointed at his nose and said, "You should know that we are Duchy of Dawn's people, right? In other words, if we catch you now and ask you to reveal Galactic Empire's scientific research project, we should be spies of the enemy country, right? Have you ever seen anyone asking for money from an enemy spy?"
Dr. Yako shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."
Seeing that Ghost Agent was planning to take action this time, he quickly winced and said loudly, "But there is nothing we can do! We are so poor! Our project only has 100,000 Imperial credits funds every year... After deducting food, drink, sleep, and sleep, we don't even have enough to fuel the off-road vehicle! Flying a spaceship is a luxury that only happens once every two years!"
Wang Tao was at a loss and said to Ghost Agent, "Contact the rear and let us try our best to satisfy them if they want anything..."
Ghost Agent was silent for a short while, pointed at Dr. Yako and said, "When this operation is over, I must kill this guy!"
Meanwhile, Unknown Regions, Xiala planet.
This planet, which had been dead for hundreds of years, is now filled with gunfire and war.
The core of the battle is around the super signal repeater built on a mountain peak about 3,000 meters above sea level! This super signal repeater is a huge tower nearly 2,000 meters high, surrounded by thousands of steel beams and steel bars supporting the stability of the tower.
And at the bottom of the mountain, there was a dark shadow like an ocean.
These black shadows are all human beings!
And they are all mummies! What makes people feel chilling is that these mummies are still covered in brown mud. The mud is constantly squirming as if it is alive, controlling these mummies to rush towards the mountain crazily.
How many are these mummies? It's impossible to calculate! Because the vast space at the foot of the mountain is almost filled with people standing close to each other! Even in the withered jungle, there are also many shadows, and I don't know how many people are hiding in it!
Countless mummies rushed upward, even blocking the mountain path. There is no doubt that these are all Xiyala people mummies controlled by Meng Gal-Meng Gal!
According to the research of Korlok Vishal, Meng Gal-Meng Gal prefers to attach themselves to living things, and if they want to act alone in the form of sludge, their mobility and flexibility will be greatly reduced. Therefore, these Xiyala people corpses that have been devoured are still controlled by Meng Gal-Meng Gal, constantly rushing upward!
Their purpose is clear - rush forward! Then tear everyone who is still alive on the top of the mountain into pieces!
But a few hundred meters near the top of the mountain, they stopped instantly as if they suddenly hit a wall.
A wall of fire!
Ta-ta-ta-ta! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless laser beams, Hypermatter accelerated bullets, and blaster beams poured down from the mountain crazily, and there was no need to aim at all! The dense firepower destroyed the mummies controlled by Meng Gal-Meng Gal in pieces. In the face of the powerful firepower, the mud was scattered and the mummy was beaten to pieces.
Although this kind of firepower cannot really destroy Meng Gal-Meng Gal, if the mummy is broken into pieces, the silt can only slowly climb up.
But these living mud didn't take long to crawl, and they were swallowed directly by the bloody mouth. It's Lugubra! Combat creature raised by Korlok!
These creatures look like a cross between a salamander and a leech, very disgusting, but extremely powerful and extremely agile. Their Abyss-like large mouths full of sharp teeth continuously swallowed up Meng Gal-Meng Gal, and then sprayed the residue out from the excretion cavity near the hind legs.
What is very strange is that the living sludge is still squirming when it is swallowed. After being swallowed and then expelled, it turns into brown dust and loses all activity. These Lugubra use their slender hands with suction cups to grab the mud and swallow it. Their skin is smooth and greasy, and the all-pervasive Gal-Meng Gal mud cannot penetrate into their bodies from the surface!
The key reason why Korlok can be surrounded by Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal for hundreds of thousands of years, but still not controlled, is these Lugubra that can swallow the silt.
There are a lot of these Lugubra, at least several thousand. They continue to swallow up the Mong Gal-Meng Gal that are coming up from the silt state, allowing the people on the mountain to concentrate on dealing with those Xiyala people mummies.
Shepard and his team were stationed on the top of the mountain. There was originally a row of fortifications with a very good view, which Xiyala people used to protect this super signal repeater. Because this thing is an important means for Xiyala people to understand the outside world, and it can be called a treasure of their civilization.
Huang Yehao, Ashley Williams, Kayden Alanco, Senluo, Reaper... Everyone on the Shepard team is here firing like crazy. Not only them, but also many B-1 combat robots brought from Normandy and those logistics personnel, almost everyone who can shoot a gun, all came here to defend desperately.
There were even some smarter Lugubra who were with them, holding special laser guns and firing continuously.
Creatures like Lugubra are actually very polarizing in terms of intelligence. The smart Lugubra can even have language, communicate, have its own civilization, and even have its own Elder Council. And the stupid Lugubra is no different from a wild beast.
Now here, those Lugubra who rushed to the front to act as human shields and swallowed up the Gal-Meng Gal sludge that came up were undoubtedly the latter.
Therefore, in total, their army has about 1,500 people who can use guns, plus more than 8,000 Lugubra who have no intelligence. It seems like a lot, but what they are facing is the population of an entire planet Xiala planet!
At that time, Xiyala people was unable to leave the planet to establish colonies on other habitable planets, so it had been huddled on its home planet, and its population once reached 14 billion people.
And these 14 billion people, plus an incalculable number of various animals, and even corpses that have just died but have not completely decomposed, the number of individuals that Meng Gal-Meng Gal can control on this planet, it is no problem to say that it exceeds 50 billion!
Those Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal individuals rushed madly up the mountain, and some of them still held in their hands all kinds of guns once manufactured by Xiyala people, even tanks and cannons.
However, these sporadic firepower could not threaten Shepard and others hiding behind the fortifications. The artillery and tanks were also destroyed in advance by the spacecraft in the air.
In the high altitude, a total of thirty-three spaceships sent by the two Korlok factions were here to cover, fighting against the fighter jets and spaceships controlled by Xyala zombies, and clearing out the heavy units that appeared on the ground.
The memories of individuals controlled by Meng Gal-Meng Gal will be absorbed, so through these mummies, Meng Gal-Meng Gal can also control vehicles such as spaceships and tanks.
Normandy, which has better performance, serves as a mobile force to patrol the entire planet and destroy all high-threat targets that appear. Such as nuclear bomb silos and the like.
The firepower from the open space completely covered the surrounding area of the mountain! Bullets and rockets continued to rain down from the mountains, and the laser beams in the sky seemed to rain all the time. Fires have been ignited in many places under the mountain, and various debris has piled up like mountains. Sea-like mud is constantly squirming in the flames, and an unpleasant smell is filling the air.
Even though Shepard and their improvised troops now have absolute firepower advantage, this is still a desperate confrontation.
The battle is now on its fourth day. How many Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal individuals have they killed, one hundred thousand? One million? Cannot be calculated. But they only know that there are countless Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal coming from every corner of the entire planet.
Ammunition is limited, energy is limited, and physical strength is limited.
But Meng Gal-Meng Gal is infinite... Even if Meng Gal-Meng Gal is temporarily broken up, it can use its own mud to put the still intact wreckage back together, and then go to the battlefield again.
Near the fortifications Shepard and the others were holding, countless silts gathered together to form a huge head. The head said, "Give up resistance, it's useless... This is my world... Do you know how many times I have seen such resolute resistance? 170,000 times. And among them, the one who persisted the longest lasted 140 days. But... I pushed them Trapped in the base for a whole year. Even though they gave up resistance, I still didn't kill them... but kept torturing them, using the bodies of their relatives and children... even if they wanted to commit suicide. What about you? The time I plan to torture you is... hahaha!"
Boom!!! A blaster cannon dropped from the sky and shattered the head!
