Chapter 263 The strange creatures in the East Third District (please subscribe)

The gunboat docked in a desolate open space in the dome building, its heavy landing gear pressed against the ground, crushing the rubble at the landing point.

The action team set up defenses according to Alam's orders, occupied the commanding heights, released drones and scanning balls, and controlled everything around them in real time.

The maintenance team entered the dome with tools and spare parts, inspected the anti-psychic device, replaced damaged parts and capacitors, and replaced new batteries.

The gunboat parked in the open space did not turn off its engine, but ensured that it could take off at any time. The round pot-shaped detection device was ticking and rotating, and the cannon and explosive automatic machine gun were also ready to fire at any time.

In a corrupted area, no one knows where danger will appear. Staying vigilant at all times is a good habit that can ensure one's survival.

Sample and other local survivors followed Alam. They did not need to undertake any combat missions or maintain the equipment. They were brought with them because they had entered the corrupted area and had a certain resistance to corrupted creatures. It can help a little, but also to tell them how to enter the Corruption Zone to maintain the anti-psionic device.

The East Third District was just a district during the Human Alliance period, but in the industrial era, the East Third District covered three provinces in an industrial country.

The plane area alone reaches nearly 800,000 square kilometers. If you include the three-dimensional area, that is, those high-rise buildings and buildings that extend underground, it will be even more terrifying.

Purifying such a huge area is no small undertaking.

It is impossible for Alam and others to take time to maintain these anti-psychic equipment every time. After all, their manpower not only has to purify the entire East Third District, but also protects key buildings to ensure that the East Third District can resume normal operation. Therefore, the maintenance of the anti-psychic device will most likely be handed over to Semple and others.

Semple had already put on a suitable set of combat armor at this time, and was holding a pulse laser gun in his hand. After this period of study and training, he had mastered how to use the combat weapon with multiple functions. helmet.

At least he understood what the numbers and letters, as well as the runes and pop-up text prompts meant, and he also knew how to fire the laser rifle in his hand.

Holding the laser rifle without the safety device open, Sample was filled with anxiety, and there was uneasiness hidden deep in his eyes.

Returning to this hell made him look very nervous. Even if he had only entered the Corruption Zone once, the horror had already penetrated into his bones and he would never forget it in his life.

Semple will never forget how his former companions died. The dangers hidden in the Corruption Domain are absolutely unimaginable.

Those weird and evil creatures took the lives of ordinary people like them as easily as breathing.

Alam ignored the nervous Semple. After so many years of expedition, he had long been accustomed to these things.

The corruption seen in the void is even more terrifying. The entire planet will turn into monsters, with their mouths wide open, as if they are mocking and roaring. Those subspace monsters are densely packed in the stars, and when they spread their wings, they are even bigger than battleships. Huge The cracks sprouted flesh, eyes, and tentacles that could easily destroy battleships. That scene was terrifying.

The corruption on earth pales in comparison to those things.

Besides, what's so scary about those monsters? The most they can do is kill him.

His soul belongs to the God-Emperor, and as soon as he dies, he will report to the other side immediately. Is it possible that those monsters still dare to steal their souls from the God Emperor? ?

As for whether you are afraid of death, there is no need to say more about this kind of thing. No one is not afraid of death, but being a soldier is a job with your head in your belt. Those Stormtroopers will die, let alone a low-level officer like him.

But after death, they return to the Supreme Heaven of the God Emperor and reunite with those old brothers and associates. In the final analysis, death is really not a terrible thing to them.

Alam was very satisfied with the performance of his men. After confirming that there was no problem, he turned to look at Lenny, "Go and supervise the maintenance work of Team C. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise the two of us will But I have to carry it around because I can’t eat it.”

Lenny nodded and turned towards the dome building, where Team C was replacing spare parts and batteries.

In order to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the device, there are multiple backup systems. If one system breaks down, another system will be activated. As long as maintenance is performed every once in a while, there will basically be no downtime.

If this continues for a few years, those subspace cracks can basically be repaired, and those weird creatures will be slowly suppressed, making them weak and even unable to exist in real space.

Aram looked around and inspected the surrounding situation. He found that there were traces of bullets on the ground and walls. In some places, rubble and deep pits had broken out. From the scorched marks on the edges, it could be seen that they were made by special forces. Caused by bombs from psychic creatures.

You don't need to think about it to know that it was left behind by legionnaires and demon-hunting troops to eliminate nearby strange creatures.

Ailam's eyes showed a trace of envy and admiration. Those legion soldiers known as the God Emperor's Angels were completely different from ordinary people like them. Even if they put on combat armor, they were just ants in the eyes of the other party.

Even if they faced those strange creatures, they would not panic at all, and could easily fight their way through the crazy wave.

The anti-psychic device inside the dome was also deployed by legionnaires and demon hunters. It was impossible for ordinary people to complete this project when surrounded by strange creatures.

To be honest, every soldier will envy the powerful force of the legionnaires. On the battlefield, they are like the protagonists, while these ordinary troops are like supporting roles.

However, I recently heard that the empire has launched a universal strengthening project, which is aimed at ordinary soldiers.

It allows ordinary people to gain faster reaction speed and stronger physical strength. Although it is not as good as legion soldiers, it is still a qualitative improvement.

The sound of vomiting suddenly came, interrupting Alam's thinking and bringing him back to reality. He followed the sound and looked over, and found that it was Semple and several local survivors who were vomiting, and their faces turned red. , looking very uncomfortable.

Walking along the gunboat's gangway to the ground, Sample felt that he was in good condition and full of energy.

Until a strange wave passed through his body, making him subconsciously feel like vomiting, and then he couldn't breathe. His physical strength also evaporated at an unimaginable speed. In just a few seconds, he had a feeling of vomiting. A feeling of powerlessness in recovering from a serious illness.

The same goes for the survivors who entered here with him. Everyone looked vomiting and weak, as if something invisible was depriving them of their vitality.

Aram saw Sempur's abnormality and the reasons for it. His voice came from behind the helmet, "This is the first time you are exposed to the fluctuations released by the anti-psychic energy field, and the reaction is a bit big. If you can't stand it, Just stay away, the waves released by the anti-psionic device can not only drive away those strange creatures, but also cause trouble to humans."

Sample wanted to say that it was okay, but another wave of nausea came over him. He finally gave in and chose to follow the advice and stay away from the dome building.

"Remember, don't leave our sight. As long as you can endure it, endure it as much as possible." Alam added, "Where you don't feel uncomfortable, those monsters may not feel uncomfortable either," Semple nodded. , to show that you understand.

He and several other survivors walked toward the edge of the clearing, away from the domed building housing the anti-psionic device.

After walking a certain distance, their faces improved a lot. Although they were still a little uncomfortable, they were within a tolerable range.

But even if they couldn't bear it, Semple and the others didn't dare to move forward. As Aram said, where they didn't feel uncomfortable, those monsters wouldn't feel uncomfortable either.

More than fifty meters away from them, those twisted creatures were wandering, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking them. There they stared at Semple and the others with hateful eyes, making low roars like wild beasts that wanted to hunt, but none of them dared to cross the invisible barrier.

"We can't go any further, just stay here." Semple said to his companions, "If we go out again, we will be attacked immediately. You guys should also keep an eye out. If they pounce, we have to run back." ."

After a stalemate for more than ten seconds, a hound with half its body exuding black mist and flashing firelight, with eyes as red as rubies, roared and pounced on Semple and the others.

But after it ran a distance of more than ten meters, it let out a wailing sound, and its entire body gradually shattered, turning into black mist or ashes with lingering fire. Finally, it fell there with a splat and disappeared into ashes.

These weird creatures are heavily dependent on the subspace ether. Once they lose the nourishment of the subspace ether, they will be unable to maintain their own shapes and various weird abilities.

The Black Mist Hound's actions shocked Semple and others. They all picked up their weapons and were ready to shoot and escape. Who would have thought that the other party would turn into ashes just like that.

"The things from the Empire are really reliable." Semple sighed in a low voice, and several others deeply agreed with this.

After confirming that the monsters could not harm themselves, Semple and others lost their previous fear and uneasiness, and instead chose to stand at a safe distance and look at the monsters.

"Is this thing a ghost?" Griffin, who is also a survivor, pointed to a woman wearing a white dress with a face as pale as snow. The dress was stained with black blood and looked very dirty.

The woman also held a huge butcher's knife in her hand, half of her head was broken and bleeding, and her only remaining eye was full of hatred and malice.

When she opened her mouth and roared at Semple and others, several people could see the teeth in the woman's rotten mouth. They were as sharp as steel needles, and they were also mixed with rancid meat.

"That's right." Semple nodded, "That woman is probably a human who failed to escape and turned into something strange. She is a great threat to ordinary people."

During this time, Semple learned a lot about subspace, and the related characteristics of subspace corruption and the harm to human beings were the top priorities.

Warp corruption doesn't kill people, it just twists them into ominous and grotesque monsters.

Just like the woman Griffin talked about, she was a normal person at the beginning, an ordinary and normal woman with a job and a social life. It was not until the subspace corruption appeared that she became what she is today.

The corruption of the subspace is never achieved overnight, especially in the real universe. If you fall directly into the subspace, it is a different matter.

Semple could imagine the whole process of this woman being corrupted. Xuanyuan Changge used his own life to stop Cain's plan to become a god, trapping the Eternal and the Old One, but failed to prevent the subspace from destroying the solar system. of corrosion.

The pollution was not serious at first, but people began to have nightmares and hear those eerie whispers.

People dare not sleep because of fear, and under the influence of whispers, they slowly become extreme and sensitive. Reason, morality, and order begin to collapse at this time.

People who are not strong-willed are the first to collapse, becoming insane bit by bit, turning into crazy, chaotic lunatics. They will eat raw meat, hiding in the dark and peering at those who are still normal like a pervert.

They will desire to bite through other people's throats, gouge out other people's eyes, and enjoy the other person's screams and terror.

The broken half of the woman's head must have been those normal people who discovered her abnormality and hammered her to death with some kind of blunt instrument.

However, the woman did not really die. When the ether of the subspace flowed in the real world, she came to life again and became the most feared and feared thing by humans, such as the female ghost in horror stories.

All kinds of strange things that have appeared in human civilization are by no means groundless and rumored. They all have their own origins.

The evil ghosts and unlucky people trapped in strange spaces in those horror stories may never be fantasies and rumors, but things that really happened.

The reason why people in the past believed that ghosts did not exist was simply because their spiritual talents were too poor and they were in a state where they were unable to contact or perceive them.

Those things have never been far away from human beings. Science and reason are only the means used by human beings to understand the universe. The nature of the universe is absurd and incredible.

"God bless you." Griffin raised the laser gun in his hand and pulled the trigger on the woman's head. The laser shot out from the muzzle and instantly pierced the woman's head, followed by the burning smell. Radiate out.

However, the woman did not fall down, but let out an even more resentful scream.

Griffin turned up the power of the laser gun and fired another shot. The thick laser had an explosive effect and instantly caused the woman's head to explode like a watermelon.

This time, the woman fell to the ground, her charred neck radiating heat. Griffin smiled, but the next second, his smile disappeared.

Small tentacles sprouted from the broken head, crawling towards the headless corpse from all directions. Within a few minutes, they formed a charred face again, and the woman got up again.

"In a completely corrupted realm, they cannot be killed by real physical means. Unless we restore the laws of the real universe first, we can banish them to the subspace. If we want to kill them, we can only The demon hunter takes action himself, or uses the blessing of the God-Emperor.”

A hoarse voice came from behind, and Semple and others looked back and found that it was the psionic psychic Tokusuke Kawamoto.

　Four thousand and three, just make up the number.
