Chapter 104, Battle of the Power Plant
At the same time that the Space Marines began to launch their attack, two transport helicopters, carrying a total of 9 battle nuns, as well as Gu Hang himself, also arrived at the target location.
There are six windmills placed at the target location.
After Garrett and the others determined the likely hiding place of the cult leader through various intelligence, Gu Hang also urgently asked someone to check the situation in this place, and then he was surprised to find that it was actually a small wind power power plant.
There are a total of eight such wind farms in the entire Fuxing City.
The Union Parliament approved the construction of these power plants starting last year. A company from the north called the Polar Industrial Group won this project through bidding and started construction.
According to the estimated project time, these eight wind farms located in different parts of the city should have been completed some time ago.
There are no problems with the approval and construction process of the entire project from the documents. But in fact, Gu Hang could sense something fishy from other aspects.
Does Fuxing City need wind power? Wouldn't it be more stable and a better way to generate electricity when building a thermal power plant using hot limestone? Is it necessary to use wind power, an uneconomical, unaffordable and unstable method?
Not to mention environmental protection, clean energy, etc., let alone the wasteland planet of Raging Owl, in most worlds in the empire, this is not a problem.
Even if this problem can be explained by the abundant wind energy resources, why do we need to build eight in one go? Or eight small ones. Wouldn't it be better to choose a location with particularly good wind energy resources and build a large unit group?
The locations of these eight wind farms were almost at the eight directions of Fuxing City. They surrounded the entire city, including the outer city, from which Gu Hang felt something was wrong.
Then, he noticed the person who signed the approval document.
Norris, Mondoc, Vaughan.
These three former alliance councilors are all people for whom Gu Hang has relatively clear evidence that they have deep connections with the cult.
Thinking about it further, what is the symbol of the original angry owl sect’s sorcery ability?
It's a storm.
All these factors were added up, and Gu Hang really felt a chill.
He wanted to convince himself that he was overthinking it, and there was no clear evidence to show anything.
However, as long as his mind could still maintain some sanity, he couldn't let himself ignore the way these closely related clues were put together.
But no matter what, the first priority is to capture this place and capture the leader of the cult.
The strong winds that have been blowing since the cultists launched attacks on food transportation routes are now getting stronger and stronger. Not to mention, it started raining just now.
During the swaying, the transport helicopter was very unstable and bumpy.
Gu Hang held the handle on the edge of the helicopter with one hand and looked down. His blue eyes clearly showed that he had fully opened his spiritual vision.
Under his field of vision, there were obvious and even ostentatious energy fluctuations in the power plant under the wind and rain.
That seems like a provocation: We have made all preparations, you are too late.
Gu Hang looked grim.
He turned his eyes outward and saw four conspicuous and powerful figures stepping into the power plant.
The one in the center of the six windmills is surrounded by buildings. From a functional point of view, Gu Hang was not sure what the specific meaning of the wind turbine was like a windmill tower. But the most important enemy should be right there.
The Space Marines came to the main entrance of the windmill tower, and one of them kicked open the door and broke into it.
Soon, the roar of the bolter reached Gu Hang's ears, even though it was separated by a lot of height, the sound of wind and rain, and the sound of the helicopter's propeller.
There are enemies entrenched in the windmill tower, and they have begun to be quickly eliminated. The Space Marines' attack was ruthless and ferocious.
The nuns led by Gerrit have also completed the rappelling. Their rope descent was different from what Gu Hang remembered. They had already lowered the rope before the helicopter landed at a safe enough height. Pulling the rope and sliding down, halfway through, they swayed slightly, borrowed some strength, and let go, and then one by one they crashed in through the window of the windmill tower.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of bolters also came from inside. I am afraid that the sound of the battle blade cutting the storm shield and the human body was indispensable, but unfortunately Gu Hang could not hear it. "Mr. Governor, we may have to return early. The wind and rain are too strong." The pilot's voice came from the front.
Gu Hang replied: "You can go back."
After saying that, he also jumped down.
Seeing the governor's body falling freely from mid-air, the pilot's eyes widened and he was frightened.
But it soon became okay: he saw the Governor's falling speed visibly slowing down, and then he stood floating in the air, floating towards the position where the Battle Sisters broke in through the window.
His long golden clothes were fluttering in the strong wind, but not a drop of rain could fall on him.
"They are all evil people..." the pilot muttered, controlling the helicopter to raise the altitude and heading towards the inner city.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and he was a little worried.
Fuxing City is often windy, but the rainfall is not bad. Logically speaking, the current season is not a time for storms.
The stronger the wind, the heavier the rain, which is not a good sign.
Is the angry god angry?
His body was shaking a little and he had to hurry up and go back.
……
When Gu Hang entered through the broken window, the battle was almost over.
There are some cultists entrenched here. They are not many in number, but they are quite strong. The leaders among them were three guys wearing gray and white robes.
After several interactions with people from the original Angry Owl Sect, Gu Hang could probably feel the differences in their levels.
Those who can use storm magic are undoubtedly the core members, and blue robes are ordinary members; Gu Hang has seen a few of those in gray and white robes, and they are generally one level higher than blue robes, almost equal to him. The strength at LV2.
Among the gray robes, Gu Hang has encountered two with special postures so far. The one who ambushed him at the beginning, as well as the fat woman he met at Norris Factory, all fall into this category, and their strength is roughly equivalent to Gu Hang's strength at LV3.
Right now, just three ordinary gray robes can't make a difference.
The blue robe on the field is being attacked from two sides. Sisters were beating them through broken windows; Space Marines were fighting their way up from the stairs below. And the three gray robes kept releasing powerful evil spells, trying to hurt the nuns, but they couldn't do it at all. His spells were easily countered and their power was greatly reduced. There was no way to shake the power armor on the nuns.
This time, it was Garuit who achieved the final kill.
Her holy gold halberd, which is an extraordinary weapon, seems to have special demon-breaking properties.
As a psychic, Gu Hang could instinctively sense threats.
Moreover, Gu Hang could also see with his own eyes that when Gritte rushed in front of the three gray robes, the holy gold halberd raised high cut through their storm shield like a hot knife cutting through butter. Even the people inside were cut open.
The other two quickly released spells to resist, but the effect was very little. The head nun followed suit and slashed them twice more, and then they were all killed.
The damage caused by the holy gold halberd was terrifying. The flat wounds and completely split body made the scene bloody.
Gu Hang looked at this scene and complained in his heart: "Hey...does this nun have some special hobbies? Why does she behave like this every time?"
