Chapter 585 Death Place
Everyone has seen many dilapidated ruins and ruins, but the colonial satellite in front of them still gives people a strange feeling.
Under the illumination of the lights, everyone could clearly see the dilapidated houses, destroyed facilities - and countless corpses around them.
Yes, the bodies of those killed on the colonial satellite were still floating in this cold metal tomb even after several years. They have not rotted or deteriorated, they just remain the same as when they died. Under the illumination of the light, you can see tens of thousands of corpses suspended and floating among them, without any reaction.
“…………It’s really uncomfortable.”
Even Ann looked depressed at the moment, and Mary looked even pale. Only Ogis still looked out the window with an unchanged expression, as if she had no reaction to the corpses.
"Why, why did this happen?"
Hearing Mary talking to herself, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders, stretched out his hand and patted Lumière next to him.
"Tour guide, it's your turn."
"Hey..."
Lumière sighed silently, and then opened the operator at hand again.
"According to records, three days after the war broke out between the Earth Federation and PLANT, the coalition launched a nuclear bomb attack on the colonial satellite, causing nearly 240,000 deaths. Because this day was February 14th, this incident also Known as Bloody Valentine. The Union Army claimed that this was caused by a self-destruction operation by PLANT, but... PLANT obviously did not accept this statement, so the battle between the two sides became more and more intense..."
"The Earth Federation has been having brain problems for more than a day or two. The top management has always been mentally retarded."
Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more. This is the case in the game. The force that players have the most conflicts with in this galaxy is the Earth Federation. Their reasons are all kinds of strange. Some want the technology of the Inquisition, and some want players to help them fight against the enemy. If the player refuses to agree, they will engage in moral kidnapping, or simply attack their own people, and then tell the player that this is all caused by your failure to help me, and you must be responsible...
To be honest, the Earth Federation has not been forced to do anything for a day or two. This is one of the reasons why Duanmu Huai chose to act with Minerva.
At least PLANT can still understand human speech. If you go to the Earth Federation, you don't know what crooked ideas those idiots will come up with.
Don't talk about blowing up PLANT's colonial satellites. If necessary, these people will blow up their own colonial satellites. At worst, they will blame PLANT after the bombing.
"It's really pitiful. Don't they think about the fact that there are so many innocent people here..."
If they just simply died, then the war might end, but here, it is not the case. The further they advance towards the core area of the colonial satellite, the more corpses they can see. They even see their mother hugging them tightly. The child floated through the air... This was obviously more shocking than the data and intelligence on paper.
"The same is true in our world. Can't humans stop fighting?"
Lumière also complained in a low voice. There was no alien invasion in their world, and there was no external threat. However, the wars between humans within the world had never subsided. Lumiel and Eclair chose to escape from their world precisely because they were fed up with this kind of war.
But now it seems... other worlds are not much better.
"Although it is cruel, war itself is also a means of survival of the fittest. Of course, everyone hopes that he or she will be eliminated, but...War, Warneverchanges..."
Duanmuhuai shook his head and said nothing more. This world is cruel and treats all races equally, even humans who think they are intelligent and civilized. The test they face is no more cruel than two wolf packs fighting for territory, and it is no more gentle than this. . In the final analysis, most organic life forms in the universe are like this: war, occupation, plunder, and conflict.
Maybe it won't change until the universe is destroyed.
At this moment, the White Goddess had quietly passed through the wreckage and landed on an apron.
"Detection shows that there are several energy reactions inside, please be careful, Commander."
"I know those guys won't let us succeed easily."
Duanmuhuai nodded, then looked at Ogis, Ann and Mary.
"Okay, let's go."
"Hey? Should I go too?"
Mary was startled when she heard Duanmu Huai's words. She and Andu were not wearing their usual clothes, but were wearing N7 space armor from Star Alliance. Of course, this was just in case.
As for Ogis, of course there is no need to change clothes, after all, she is not human at all.
"Haven't you practiced space walking?"
"But, but, I have never fought in space?"
"Don't worry."
However, just as Mary finished speaking, she saw Ogis, who had been sitting next to her, looking at her and speaking.
"I will protect you."
"Uh...thank you??"
"Relax, it'll be okay."
Seeing Mary's uneasy expression, Duanmuhuai chuckled.
"Besides, aren't you a writer? Since you are a writer, you have to experience various experiences. Think about it, in the bombed space station, there are corpses that have been frozen for several years floating everywhere - this This is an experience that most people don’t have.”
".........Ordinary people will not encounter evil gods or cultists..."
Mary sighed silently, but it was obvious that she had no choice.
Soon, the hatch opened, and then a group of people stepped out of the White Goddess. Ann swayed excitedly, while Mary stepped on the ground carefully - the next moment, she suddenly flew high into the sky.
"Wow——!"
Obviously, it was too difficult for Mary to move in a gravity-free environment. However, just when she was screaming and not knowing what to do, Ogis suddenly reached out her hand, and several silk threads suddenly stretched out. It wrapped around Mary's body and pulled her back to the ground.
"Huh...thank you, Miss Ogis."
"..." Faced with Mary's thanks, Ogis just shook her head and said nothing. At this time, Duanmu Huai also gestured to them.
"Okay, let's go."
According to the map, this is the core power area of the colonial satellite. As long as seismic bombs are installed here, the entire colonial satellite can be completely destroyed. Of course, just as you need to find a good location for blasting a building, you also need a suitable location for blasting seismic bombs. Otherwise, if you blow up more than half of it, only half of it will be left. Well, Duanmuhuai thinks that the best thing to do is to blow it up again. Once, but if it could be done in one go, he wouldn't want to do it twice, would he?
In the dark and dim corridor, there were all kinds of debris floating everywhere. Of course, this had no impact on Duanmu Huai. He held the warhammer in his hand and strode forward. The lighting device next to his helmet illuminated clearly. Brighten the road ahead. An, on the other hand, was jumping up and down, swimming leisurely like a fish in the water. He was jumping and spinning for a while, looking very comfortable.
And Mary...
"That, that...Miss Ogis, I can go by myself..."
While walking in the passage, Mary said to Ogis with tears in her eyes. At the beginning, she didn't notice any problems. But it didn't take long for Mary to discover that Ogis' silk threads had been completely wrapped around every joint of her body. She was now like a puppet manipulated by Ogis. She could only do whatever Ogis asked her to do.
Even if Ogis asked her to dance in Swan Lake here now, Mary could only accept it.
It has to be said that it is very uncomfortable to feel that her body is not under her control, but Mary has no other choice. After all, she really has no experience in operating in space, not to mention that Ogis's control is not Mary at all. Can resist it.
But...the real space looks so lonely...
Mary was "forced" to follow Ogis while looking to the side. When she set foot on this colonial satellite, Mary's first reaction was deathly silence.
Of course, no sound can travel in a vacuum, but this makes people even more nervous. This colonial satellite now looks like a silent tomb, and all the dead here will float in it forever... Just thinking about this scene makes Mary feel cold all over.
Even when walking in this steel corridor, Mary couldn't hear her own footsteps, as if she didn't exist at all...
"————!"
At this moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly made a gesture to signal the others to stop. Then he pointed to the blasted gate in front. Everyone immediately leaned over and cautiously poked their heads out. Then, they saw in the huge space ahead, dozens of mechas more than 20 meters high, holding weapons, patrolling back and forth. Although it is unclear what force these mechas belong to, it is obvious that they do not belong to Minerva.
"So many..."
"Don't worry, it won't take long to kill them."
Faced with Mary's worries, Duanmuhuai comforted her lightly.
"You wait here, Ogis, Ann, prepare to attack - remember, fight quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the backpack on Duanmu Huai's back suddenly exploded. The next moment he clenched his war hammer and rushed out of the passage like an exploding cannonball, crashing into one of the mechas!
"————————!?"
At this time, the mecha also realized that something was wrong. It quickly turned around to face Duanmuhuai, and then instinctively raised the shield in its hand.
However... this makes no sense.
"Go to hell!!"
Along with Duanmu Huai's roar, the thunder warhammer directly hit the front of the shield held by the mecha. The seemingly solid shield was instantly blown into pieces like glass. Even the left arm of the mecha holding the shield exploded directly under Duanmuhuai's blow. The huge shock wave caused the enemy to lose his balance. At the same time, Duanmuhuai also rushed over the debris of the explosion and crashed directly into the machine. A's waist, punched him through in an instant!
“————!!”
The dazzling fire broke out again, and Duanmu Huai, who had penetrated the mecha, hit the back of the mecha with a backhand hammer. The next moment, accompanied by a violent explosion, the unlucky mecha turned into a pile of burning wreckage. .
This brief exchange naturally attracted the attention of other mechas. They also drew their weapons and moved towards this side. Soon, another mecha quickly passed through the wreckage of its companions, quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to find the attacker. At this moment, Ogis had quietly flashed past like a swimming fish and appeared in front of it.
Looking at Ojis in front of her, the mecha's movements couldn't help but pause - this is normal. After all, there is a vacuum environment outside here, and Ojis doesn't wear cosmic armor like Duanmu Huai or An. She looks like an ordinary human girl.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for human beings to survive physically in a vacuum. It is conceivable that in this environment, suddenly seeing a person not wearing a space suit, flying in front of you in the vacuum and staring at you, it is simply the rhythm of a thriller.
"Wow————!!"
The pilot of the mecha was obviously startled by Ogis. Along with his screams, the green mecha directly pulled out the ax behind it and subconsciously wanted to swing it down——However, its As soon as the arm was raised, it was completely separated from the joints of the body. In the blink of an eye, the mecha was torn into pieces by invisible threads, turning into useless scrap metal in the void.
“It’s my turn to take action next!”
Next closely followed, of course, was An. Although it is difficult for her to cast many spells here due to the vacuum nature of the universe, this is not a problem for An. After all, she has been with Duanmu Huai for so long and has seen a lot of things and learned a lot of spells.
For example…………
"White destroys light!"
Along with the shouting, An raised her hands, and a huge magic circle unfolded in front of her. Then, the shining white beam turned into a torrent and blasted directly towards the mecha team in the distance!
For this mecha team stationed here, what happened in front of them was simply a nightmare. They were stunned by the sudden attack before they even knew what was happening. And until now, they don't even know who attacked them!
"Damn, what's going on?"
Seeing another mecha explode in front of him, the team leader was furious. No wonder he was so angry. After all, Duanmu Huai, Ojisi and An all fought on their own. Although Duanmu Huai is 2.5 meters tall and is at least 3 meters tall when wearing power armor, it is obviously not enough in front of a tall mecha that can easily reach more than ten meters. For pilots in this world, their first reaction when being attacked is for the enemy's MS team to attack. They would never have thought that someone could physically dismantle a mecha.
Not to mention that because of their small size, their signals are almost impossible to see on the radar, and the entire environment is extremely dark at the moment. In this case, they cannot find the incoming target, which naturally makes this mecha team very embarrassed.
Who is it?
Who is attacking them?
The squad leader controlled the mecha and looked around desperately, but he couldn't see any trace at all. The surroundings were dark, and he couldn't even see the signal from the opponent's mecha.
So, what exactly are we being attacked by? ?
Just as the squad leader was thinking about this problem, suddenly, another mecha exploded in front of him. In panic, the squad leader hurriedly controlled his mecha to retreat, and at this moment, he saw———— A figure dressed in pitch black and strange armor appeared from the flames of the explosion and rushed towards him!
What's this?
Looking at that terrifying figure, the captain felt cold all over. Just seeing his shadow, the captain felt as if the blood in his body had frozen, and he even felt an indescribable fear. His eyes widened in horror, watching the figure rushing towards him. The shadow reflected by the flames and flashes looked like some kind of weird, terrifying monster with twisting tentacles to the captain.
At this moment, the only thing he could say was one sentence.
“Help………………!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the thunderous war hammer directly tore the shell of the mecha, smashed the cockpit, and hit the squad leader's face, which was twisted ferociously with fear.
