Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

no problem.

The sergeant major and all the brothers immediately regained their spirits, agreed immediately, turned around and walked quickly towards the black mountain range. In an instant, the giant figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

.

And looking at the already empty front, and looking at the distant mountain covered by the blood-colored sky, Leon didn't know whether it was right or wrong to send them to investigate.

Although the mutation is not a threat, it does not mean that the anomaly hiding in the black mountain is as easy to deal with as the mutation.

In the end, Leon stopped worrying about right and wrong, turned around and led the auxiliary army including Lin Hong, assisted the technicians to clean up the camp, and got ready to wait for the arrival of Constantine and the plague doctor.

———————

Shortly after.

The northern mountainside of the Black Mountains is about a kilometer away from the camp at the foot of the mountain. There are many protruding black boulders here, forming a stone forest where ordinary people will easily lose their way if they go deep into it.

If the anomalies hiding in the mountains use some special bands to interfere, it would be a devastating disaster for ordinary people.

However, this is nothing to the Astartes including the sergeant major.

I saw two Thutmose, whose power armor was painted in bright red and dark gold, and whose helmets looked like the crown of an Egyptian pharaoh, walked directly in front of the brothers, and then raised their respective canes with the national emblem of the empire to the stone forest.

Immediately after

Ri ~ - - - -! !

Boom~------!!!

A blast of psionic energy that exudes dazzling bright red and tends to be pale pink sweeps across the stone forest in front of him in a fan shape in less than a blink of an eye.

Not only that, the strength of the spiritual energy impact remained undiminished, and most of the side of the top of the mountain was also cut off.

After solving the problem, the two Thutmose seemed to have done a very ordinary move. They retracted their canes to their waists and picked up their bolt rifles at the same time.

It's just that when the two of them turned their heads, they saw the faces and expressions of the brothers, and something seemed wrong.

Of course, in the eyes of others, the brothers are all wearing helmets with 囧 faces, and it is impossible to observe the expressions, but for Thutmose, who is extremely good at psychic abilities, the helmets are useless.

As for the sergeant major, they once again felt at a close distance how powerful Thutmose, who has a total number of only 15,000 legions and all of them are psykers, would have acted a little surprised .

Cough cough. The sergeant major coughed lightly, and moved his hand towards the blood-colored light source at the front, Okay, brothers, it's time to lift off that bastard's head, and then bring it to the doctor for research, let's go!

Yes. The brothers nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the six Astartes, according to their respective battalions, formed a typical triangular formation and continued to advance quickly in groups of two and two, until they arrived at the entrance of a cave that was cut by the impact of spiritual energy and had a smooth and regular surface.

And the bloody red light that lights up the sky seems to come from this.

The six brothers glanced at each other and reached a decision without words.

Next, the most offensive and defensive sergeant among them, and another Spartan holding a round shield and a power spear, were in front of the two Thutmose responsible for releasing psionic energy, and the two Raven Guards It is responsible for everyone behind.

They are proud, but not conceited. After all, this is a narrow area. In addition, they believe in their father's concept of despising strategically and paying attention tactically, which makes them heighten their vigilance and go deep into the cave.

Go inside.

They found that this place is not filled with dazzling light as seen from the outside world, but on the contrary, this cave leading to the depths of the mountain has a special world. It has a frosted crystal texture.

At first glance, they seem to have entered the crystal front hall leading to the center of the earth.

.

However, this strange phenomenon only made the six Astartes stop for a while at most, and then continued to move down the mountain range.

To be honest, the level of surprise brought by the crystal front hall and the tunnel here may not be as good as the psionic impact just now, mainly because they lived too long and saw too much.

continue down.

The crystal tunnel began to narrow gradually, gradually reducing the space for the group to move around. At the same time, they also faintly heard the howling of the wind that looked like laughter.

The low-intelligence artificial intelligence located on the bridge of the Griffin also uses all the feedback received, observed and captured by Thor's Hammer to construct a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the interior of the mountain range, and transmits it to the upper right corner of the Thor's Hammer helmet screen.

?

Seeing this, the interest of the six Astartes was instantly aroused, they quickened their pace, took a little time to shuttle through the tunnel, and came to the end of the tunnel under the surface.

Because on the edge of the cliff-like end, what appeared in their eyes was a declining city that did not belong to any known civilization style, and the arrangement of buildings seemed random, chaotic, and large in scale.

Heh. Witnessing the scene in front of him, and looking at it again, it was still emitting a dark red light, illuminating the top of the Crystal of the entire city, Brother Sparta couldn't help snorting: I finally found something interesting.

.

The two dark crows who were not very talkative also nodded in agreement.

The two Thutmose also remained silent, probably thinking about the range of the power to release the psychic energy, so as not to lift the entire mountain.

Brothers. The sergeant major looked away, and suggested to the brothers standing beside him: At present, we have collected enough information, and then according to Medusa (shipboard low-intelligence artificial intelligence) The analysis, further forward and continuing downward, should be the body of the abnormal phenomenon.

However, this also means that the six of us will be the first group to exist in the real universe with the main body, and be able to plunder souls, affect the bodies of normal creatures, and come into contact with abnormal creatures that resemble evil gods and demons in different spaces.

If you step into the opponent's territory rashly without the analysis assistance provided by the doctor (plague doctor), you are very likely to encounter a strong counterattack from the opponent, so brothers, have you thought about what to do?

Catch that bastard.

Better beat up again.

As soon as the voice fell, the brothers gave feedback.

Obviously, it's all here, why not just fuck it?

OK!

The sergeant major smiled generously, and then jumped off the cliff first, without any buffer, and crashed on the edge of the ruined city 100 meters below, while the brothers followed closely behind.

Boom!!

The violent movement of the magnetic boots stepping out of the shallow pit spreads and echoes in the huge space in an instant, announcing that there are new guests visiting here, and there is no thought of hiding their whereabouts or sneaking in secretly.

After all, all the Astartes knew that when they airdropped to the surface, the anomaly was already watching them, and like their father, they were disgusted by this watching and lost their appetite...

This is good news for the cooking staff of the Griffin, there is no way, who made Astartes eat so much.

When they went deep into this declining city, the nausea became stronger, and there was even some kind of invisible and strong will, trying to erode their thoughts.

Father, bless me and my brothers.

However, following the two Thutmose brothers muttering something in a low voice, and releasing a light pink spiritual energy barrier covering the whole body of the six people present, it effectively slowed down the erosion of that powerful will.

Continue to swagger for a while.

The sergeant major who was walking at the forefront stopped suddenly, and all the brothers immediately formed a triangle formation, held their weapons and raised their guard.

soon.

A looming strange aura began to permeate the surroundings, and some of them would form tentacles covered with thorns like thorns, trying to touch and roll up the six Astartes standing in the middle of the street.

Hey~!

But as soon as all the tentacles get close, they will be burned by the pale pink spiritual energy barrier.

!

After eating the pain, all the tentacles quickly retreated and coiled not far from the Astartes, as if they were waiting for an opportunity.

Huh, you only dare to hide in the dark. The sergeant major looked at the vine tentacles around him, and while making complaints, he freed his left hand to remove the bolt pistol hanging on his back waist, and then used the helmet screen to adjust the explosion. After the equivalence, it is convenient to pull the trigger before aligning.

Wow!

Accompanied by crisp and pleasant gunshots, a bolter bullet was fired instantly, passed through the insubstantial bramble vines, and shot straight at the center of the declining city, and then

Ri~———————!

The white light suddenly appeared, and everything in the underground cave seemed to have turned into a black and white cartoon, and it swallowed up all the buildings in the center.

Boom~——————!!

The second is a supersonic shock wave mixed with scalding heat waves and building debris, starting from the center as the origin and sweeping across the entire ruined city.

Just a few seconds.

Antimatter bolters annihilated a third of the fallen city.

The sergeant major and others standing not far from the center of the explosion were safe and sound, but the strange aura that looked like vine tentacles shrouded in the vicinity was annihilated together.

After all, what Astartes are best at is physical exorcism.

Phew~——————!

The aftermath dissipated.

Boom...Boom...

However, the entire lower space did not stop vibrating because of the cessation of the aftermath. However, the sergeant major and others expected that the collapse caused by the violent explosion never happened.

In this way, under this mountain, it has been confirmed that it can withstand an antimatter bolt bomb attack.

Seems to have some research value.

Wait for the vibration to calm down a bit.

The sergeant major, who had recorded all the current data, swung his short sword forward, and silently led a group of brothers towards the center of the collapsed city.

en route.

Those buildings with strange styles, the outer walls are black crystals, and the shapes are either long rectangles or irregular trapezoids.

When the sergeant major and his party came to the core area of ​​the explosion, the surrounding city had long since disappeared, and everything had been blown away by the annihilation reaction of positive and negative matter, and disappeared without a trace.

Not long.

Come to the core position of the explosion.

The reason why the sergeant major and the others acquiesced in their hearts to Honkai was that the explosion created a gap with a diameter of about 100 meters, which was equivalent to opening a shortcut for them.

Stand on the edge and look down.

In addition to the dark red fog blocking the line of sight, you can also vaguely see the looming giant square.

Ishtar, Caroni. Seeing this, the sergeant major turned his head slightly, looked at the two Thutmose on the right hand side and asked, How about it, can you perceive the abnormal mess below?

Hearing this, the two were silent at first, and then took down their canes one after another. One of them said in a deep metallic voice:

With our spiritual power, we still can't find out its origin. We can only try to dispel the fog first.

As they spoke, the two Thutmose released a wave of psionic energy that was invisible to the naked eye.

After a few seconds, the dark red fog finally faded a lot, allowing the Astartes to see part of the square below.

Huge floor tiles, stone pillars, and a large number of statues and symbols with unknown meanings are either made of frosted texture or clear crystal.

And the right side of the gap, which corresponds to the surface, that is, the north of the gap, is even brighter and darker, shining scarlet light.

Just looking down, even Astartes felt an indescribable oppression, and a subtlety that he hadn't experienced for a long time...

fear?

It seems that the mutants on the surface are indeed a by-product of some kind of soul plundering, without any threat, but the indescribable body that caused everything seems to be no longer a trivial matter.

Especially after they completed G gland implantation and transformation surgery, went to prehistoric planets to complete their experience, and became Astartes, they rarely experienced fear and deterrence.

Take it easy.

Continue? a Raven Brother asked.

continue.

The sergeant major didn't say anything to boost morale, and he continued to move forward with his dagger in his hand, falling towards the square below.

And the brothers still didn't hesitate, and followed behind one by one.

You must know that they are the Astartes, the descendants of the human emperor, and the most solid line of defense for the human race.

If they are highly respected in society and usually pampered, they will choose to retreat out of fear when encountering powerful anomalies and enemies...

Then they are not worthy to be the guardians of human beings, let alone father's sons!

———————

…

A dark square deep in the mountains.

Boom! Boom!

Each of them was an Astartes weighing several tons, and the moment their feet touched the ground, they directly crushed the crystal-like floor tiles.

Buzz! Buzz!

While crystal slag of different sizes splashed around, it also caused Thor's hammer to automatically raise its energy shield, helping the sergeant major and others to offset the impact.

! ! !

However, when they saw the thing in the center of the square in front of them, they immediately entered into a state of preparation for battle in groups of two and aimed their weapons at the center of the square.

Because the gigantic piranha that appeared in the dreams of Leon, Lin Hong, and others was being imprisoned in a restrained position that was vaguely visible and could distort the real space.

Hey... Hey...!

Just when the sergeant major and the others saw the piranha, their communication with the Griffin was cut off directly.

Although the Thor Hammers Mark VIII and Mark IX they are equipped with have not been equipped with the latest quantum communication repeaters like the various types of Terminator, they are not the existence that ordinary Xiao Xiao can interfere and shield.

Ha ha…

Moreover, the piranha, who was restrained in a certain position, still let out a nasal laughter at the right time, and said in a low voice with not very coherent sentences:

Welcome...to...my Asastie...'s domain...
