"Miner?!"
After hearing the leader's mocking tone, Mylon became even more angry. He held Ultra-Heavy Bolter in his left hand and freed his right hand to catch the leader like a fly.
And shouted, "Hey! You don't want to die! If you are caught by me, I will crush it for you!!"
"Okay Mylon." Just when Mylon wanted to seriously arrest the leader, William approached at the right time and stopped Mylon from making the situation worse.
William also put away Gauss Submachine Gun in his hand, adsorbed it on Power Armor's lower back, looked up at the somewhat inconspicuous leader and said softly:
"I am the leader of these soldiers, William Russell, what is your purpose here?"
"Hum~~" After hearing William's words, the guide hummed again and descended, finally reaching the eye level with William.
After observing William for a moment, the guide flashed an orange light in his one eye and replied in a more serious tone:
"I am the leader of Great Device 000, Sorrowful Solitude, code name 001. I am very happy to talk to you Recycler."
"Sorrowful Solitude..."
After listening to the self-introduction named Sorrowful Solitude, William repeated it in a low voice, but he had no memory of this leader.
Sorrowful Solitude continued to mind his own business and said, "Since the Flood has contaminated Great Device 000, it means that the entire Milky Way Galaxy has fallen into an absolute threat...
Hum~..., your armor is also in line with the miner level, come on, I need your help."
As Sorrowful Solitude's words fell, a light blue light enveloped it, as well as William standing in front of it.
With two clicks of "Shua~--.", William and Sorrowful Solitude disappeared in front of everyone, as if they were suddenly teleported to other areas.
!!!
Upon seeing this, everyone present was shocked and aimed their guns and cannons at the twenty Templar Defender who were still outside AT Shield.
Inside the cockpit of the dedicated mobile suit.
Ivan under the helmet still maintained a calm demeanor. He could naturally hear the conversation between the leader and his father through his MS, and he also knew that William was not in any danger for the time being.
Then he asked Megan sitting in front of him, "Megan, can you lock the positions of my father and Serena?"
"Wait a moment." Megan, who also put on his helmet, responded softly, and then kept silent as he searched.
After a few seconds, he replied to Ivan, "The location of the boss has been located, ninety kilometers below the surface in the central area of Craftworld."
"Ninety kilometers under the surface?" Ivan was stunned for a moment, but then regained his composure and said to Megan:
"Help me inform all the combat personnel in the surface base to board the transport plane immediately to my father's location. Also, ask Master Chief if he can lead the Terminator troops for short-distance teleportation."
"Yes." After receiving the order, Megan quickly conveyed the order. Soon, she turned to Ivan and reported:
"Master, according to Cortana's answer, the area where the boss is located is shielded to a certain extent, and can only be teleported to the surface of the area where the boss is located.
And I just used the Star Killer-class ship-based device to conduct a quick scan and found that the area where the boss is located has suffered severe Flood contamination."
"Well..." Hearing this, Ivan thought for a moment and said:
"Let Master Chief lead the Terminator troops to teleport to the surface of my father's area and take the lead in supporting my father. The MS formation will also set off immediately with me, and the remaining ground troops will provide support after entering the transportation formation."
"Yes."
When Ivan was temporarily taking charge of the overall situation, the Craftworld area that suffered the most serious infestation from the Flood was ninety kilometers below the surface.
The surface of Craftworld is not substantial soil, but similar to the surface of Shield World, it has metal channels, platforms and frame structures made of unknown alloys.
There should be a large number of Templar Defender here for maintenance, inspection, etc., but now, a large number of disgusting living roots are growing here, and the air is filled with a large amount of spore haze.
There are also a large number of Combat Form evolved from Jiralhanae, or the agglomeration of Combat Form, Flood Tank.
There are densely packed metal platforms, walls, and pipes that can cause trypophobia Infection Form.
Otherwise, if you look at Craftworld from above the surface, you would hardly be able to detect areas infected by the Flood. It turns out that the Flood began to erode in the 'metal labyrinth' below the surface.
"Shua~--."
Suddenly, two teleportation matrices emitting light blue light appeared on this dimly lit metal platform filled with Flood demons.
"Buzz~!"
The moment William appeared here, Serena immediately activated Energy Shield of Power Armor to prevent the spores from sticking to the surface of Power Armor or in the gaps of Power Armor.
And Serena yelled at Sorrowful Solitude extremely angrily:
"Is there something wrong with you Artificial Intelligence! Ah?! You brought someone here before you finished speaking. I think you need to be forced to retire! Or let you experience Madness Virus that makes Artificial Intelligence fall into thinking logic!!!"
Obviously, Serena was angry that Sorrowful Solitude didn't even discuss it, so he let William come alone to this underground place full of flood demons.
"Oh?" Hearing Serena's angry roar, Sorrowful Solitude flashed its orange eye again, flew to William and commented:
"I didn't expect that you Recycler actually invented this kind of Artificial Intelligence in advance, but it was still a failure and has poor emotional self-control."
"Failure? You are the failure! You Malego..."
"Okay." William stopped Serena's "exiting" in time, and held Gauss Submachine Gun in his hand.
The gun was pointed at the Combat Body Flood that was attacking them, and the trigger was pulled on its twisted upper body.
"Ta-ta-ta~!"
In an instant, the clear gunshot of Spike Rounds resounded throughout the entire underground metal maze.
"Ho~!"
After hearing the gunshot, the Flood emitted a disgusting roar and attacked William and Sorrowful Solitude one after another.
"Ta-ta~!"
"Puff~! Puff!"
"Bang~bang~!"
Just watch Spike Rounds shoot through with extraordinary ease and tear apart the body of Flood Demon Combat Form, and incidentally also shoot out the infected body behind like a balloon.
Later.
William used his superhuman reaction speed, combined with the substantial physical improvement brought by Power Armor, to start circling the Flood demons.
At the same time, Serena was not idle, and immediately used the pulse function of Power Armor to scan the surrounding area.
Soon, she discovered the passage that could lead back to the representative, and immediately marked the route guidance on the screen, allowing William to quickly leave this empty platform where the Flood demons were gathered.
"Recycler." Sorrowful Solitude flew above William leisurely and said to William:
"I need your identity to recover the indexer, so that we can solve the Flood problem in an instant."
