Chapter 695 Quantum Ghost
"Arrange treatment for Sergeant Ritter."
Since departure, the first casualty the team has suffered is one dead and one seriously injured, which makes Soshyan a little annoyed.
He stepped forward to inspect the body, while Talos had been squatting on the ground studying it for a long time.
To be honest, when I first saw the true identity of this thing, Soshiyang was a little unbelievable, because it was neither a demon nor an unknown alien.
This is a green skin!
Although its appearance is slightly distorted, there is no doubt that it is a green skin.
At first glance, it is not very big, almost the same as an Astartes, but its originally green skin is covered with fine silver threads, which is somewhat similar to the energy circuit of the Mechanicus. At the same time, its A large number of raised metal pipes can be seen under the skin, and there are huge sharp blades on the limbs.
Behind it, there was a smoking spiral machine with many pipes extending from it, which penetrated into the back of the greenskin's head and spine.
“This thing is a bit interesting.”
Talos flipped it over for a while, then used a dagger to cut off the spiral-shaped machine from the green skin's back, holding it bloody in his hand for inspection.
"What is this?"
"I guess it's a green-skinned technology that allows this guy to switch between existence and non-existence."
Sosh Yang blinked, somewhat confused.
Taros then explained.
"I once encountered an alien creature that looked like a jellyfish. They could switch between physical and quantum states. They were very disgusting and difficult to deal with. Fortunately, no civilization developed. They acted more like beasts. After that, the planet was destroyed by us. The attack mode of this green-skinned one is very similar to theirs. I’m not sure if the two are related. However, this kind of creature is often the most vulnerable when attacking, because they have just converted from the quantum state and cannot immediately Switch back."
Soshiyang frowned immediately.
“It sounds like this is a very profound technology, the green skins——”
“Ulanor’s green skin technology is extraordinary.”
At this time, An Jelica walked up, she glanced at the body on the ground, and said softly:
"We have encountered this kind of creature before, but we didn't know what it was. We escaped after using an instrument to attract them."
"But you didn't tell me in advance."
There was a hint of sullenness in Soshiyang's voice.
"The loss of any fighter is unacceptable to me."
"Sorry. I, because I am not sure whether it will happen again, our judgment at the time It could be some kind of beast from the ground.”
"Then will we meet again in the future?"
Angelica shook her head.
“I’m not sure.”
In this environment, this kind of elusive enemy is the most troublesome. If they appear in groups, Soshiyan can even Do we need to change the route to get closer?
But Talos then added.
"There must be some flaws in this thing. I looked at the inside of the green skin's skull. It's all turned into paste. I'm afraid that after using this thing, I will lose my mind. Although the green skin has no mind, and even if it is transformed into a quantum state, but if you use psychic energy, you should be able to discover them."
"But as you said, we don't have a think tank here."
At this time, Talos suddenly raised his head. Lifting his chin, Soshyan followed the other person's gaze and found that he was referring to Loken.
So he walked over and said to the Mechanicus Priest:
"Lorken, we need a psionic waveform scanning device now. Do you have one on hand?"
"Of course. No!" Loken immediately shook his head in denial.
"How could I have such a heretical thing? This is simply a blasphemy against the Omnisiah!"
As he said this, he also He glanced furtively at Angelica.
“Don’t deny it in a hurry, we need this very much now, it is related to the survival of the entire team.”
Seeing how serious Soshyan was, Loken hesitated for a while, and finally carefully took out a butterfly-shaped instrument from under his robe. It looked like an ancient navigation compass, but it had several crystals inlaid on it.
"This is only for research purposes, research purposes."
After starting the instrument, Loken wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the thing immediately bloomed with green brilliance, and Soshiyang You can see the outline of a similar terrain emerging above it.
“How does it perform?”
“It should, I guess, detect organisms within two kilometers.”
"Very good."
As he said that, Soshyan turned around and looked at the people on guard around him.
"Let's keep walking."
With the help of Loken's instrument, everyone set off again. After walking for less than ten minutes, Loken's hands started to shake.
Because there were three or four obvious bright spots on the instrument, but fortunately they were all motionless, but when the team approached them, they would show signs of movement.
"The perception range of these things seems to be very low."
Soshiyan made such a guess.
"Everyone turn off all the lights, try not to make any noise, and adjust the power backpack to the cold cycle mode."
In an instant, the long queue with flashing lights disappeared in an instant, and the entire team fell into In silence and darkness.
Just as Soshyan guessed, without the light, heat source and obvious noise, those things immediately fell into a state of motionlessness.
For some reason, seeing their behavior pattern, Soshyan couldn't help but think of the zombies in mortal superstition legends, an undead spirit that chases the breath and sounds of the living.
They are simply the undead that remain from ancient times to this day.
Legend has it that in Terra's distant past, when ancient kings died, they would turn their bodyguards into immortal monsters to guard their tombs forever.
Then the buried Orc Empire, is their tyrant the same?
With great curiosity and trouble, Soshyan led the team deep into the end of the isthmus. In addition to avoiding those weird and unpredictable "green-skinned quantum zombies" along the way, they also constantly used night vision equipment Observe your surroundings.
The deeper they went, the more traces of the past appeared. Everyone saw huge collapsed buildings, huge war machines that were almost rusted into slag, and totems that were blown to pieces.
The war back then seems to have gone deep underground.
They even found fragments of ancient power armor. Although the mark on it was unclear, it was enough to further prove that the empire's army had already set foot here when the Battle of Ullanor broke out.
Finally, they saw a huge arch at the end of the isthmus. Traces of ancient wars could be seen everywhere around this arch, including a large number of equipment remains. Loken was so excited that he almost jumped up, regardless of If it's dangerous, rush forward and start picking up trash.
Soshiyang focused more on this door. The reason was simple, because it looked so familiar, and he had even seen one not long ago.
"This - this is a webway gate!"
