From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 312 Innate 'Zhou Zhuo' Holy Body

The alarm style of the Forerunner civilization is very different from the alarm sounds commonly used by humans.

Alarms commonly used by humans are generally high-pitched. In order to attract people's attention, the sound is also sharp and harsh, and the sound frequency is long or short.

But the forerunner's alarm uses an extremely low, sub-bass-like tone, and its frequency is dominated by long blasts.

The effect that was revealed was that everyone present immediately felt like they were thrown into a huge bass horn, and the surrounding air trembled when the siren sounded.

"alert!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the puppet master immediately issued an order, and the Foundation's soldiers quickly formed a defensive formation around the team.

Many soldiers also removed shields and mobile bunkers from the rear racks of the exoskeleton, forming a line of defense in a short period of time.

Sat (Zhou) Te (Zhuo) on the console was also grabbed by the puppet master with spiritual energy, and then he raised his hand and threw him to the center of the defense line.

"Sart Ethan. The ninth time."

Yes, although they have been forgotten in the deep space of the universe for millions of years, most of the defense methods inside these Forerunner ruins are functioning normally.

Once he enters the ruins of the Forerunners, this middle-aged scholar will forget everything and become obsessed with studying everything he finds in the ruins.

A thirst for knowledge is a good thing, both for individuals and for foundations.

It’s still the kind that reaches full proficiency level directly.

It still had the same style as the ruins of the Forerunner civilization, the kind of ancient and advanced language intertwined, and the puppet master immediately turned back to look at Sart Isen in the middle of the team.

The consequence of this is that the other party will ask, "What does this button do?" ', 'What happens when this energy circuit is activated? ' In his doubtful speech, one after another defensive measures in the Forerunner ruins were activated.

And Sutter Ethan is obviously not such a person.

While he was translating intermittently, Amber, who was hiding behind, immediately understood the content of this voice prompt as if she were listening to her native language.

"All non-combatants evacuate the base area quickly, and combatants follow procedures to the designated area."

After being 'bound' by the Forerunners' large-scale mining and refining core, Amber found that she had somehow mastered the language and writing of the Forerunner civilization.

"Warning. Intruder. Superlative?"

But the premise is that you have to be self-aware of yourself.

"Warning! An external intruder was discovered on the 0th floor of the base area. The annihilation level is the highest."

The Puppet Master, who is a psyker, also agrees with this truth. After all, he is also a 'knowledge seeker' in the field of psionic energy. When he discovers some information about psionic energy, he cannot control his desire for knowledge.

He is one of the few scholars in the entire Quest for Truth Foundation who can understand the language of some Forerunner civilizations.

After leaving these words, the puppet master did not say anything more, but walked to the front of the formation to prepare to face the enemy.

Twenty seconds after the alarm sounded in the ruins, everyone present, including Amber who was hiding behind the old man, heard some kind of broadcast system in the ruins start to issue some kind of voice prompts.

"Personnel evacuation. Which area to go to."

If it weren't for the fact that this 'field executive adjutant' was within the foundation and one of the few people who knew the most about Forerunner civilization, and the top management of the foundation also emphasized the need to protect this scholar, I'm afraid the puppet master would have been killed in other ruins long ago. This is a 'monster monster'.

"Currently assembled combatants.0, alternatives enabled."

"Sealing the 0th floor of the base area, preparing to release the 'Annihilator'!"

As the last sentence of the voice broadcast finished, deep in the '0th floor of the base area' where Amber and the others were located, there was first a sound of some kind of mechanical operation, as if some kind of door had been opened. Immediately afterwards, there was a series of heavy footsteps, coming from far to near.

After hearing the mention of 'Annihilator' in the voice broadcast, Amber immediately prepared for battle.

Because this thing is basically the standard "elite monster" in all Forerunner ruins, in almost all ruins dungeons, players must kill these elite monsters before they can continue to advance.

According to some analysis on the forum, the Forerunner ruins should normally have specialized 'combatants' responsible for defensive operations, but for unknown reasons the entire civilization disappeared overnight, leaving these Forerunner ruins empty.

In this case, the Forerunner ruins that cannot summon combatants will activate the "backup plan" and release the "Annihilator" that is usually in a forced dormant state.

Soon, the huge figures of the five Annihilators appeared in the dim red light in the distance.

"Buzz!"

Before they could get closer, ten dark red beams of light swept over from a distance.

Except for the central area of ​​the formation, which was protected by a psychic shield set up by the puppet master, most of the soldiers on both wings of the Foundation team were directly fired into a ball of ashes by these dark red beams.

The Annihilators also quickly discovered the psychic shield rising in the middle. Ten beams of light immediately focused their fire, and the pressure on the puppet master suddenly increased.

However, Amber's expectation that the opponent's psychic shield was penetrated did not happen. He saw a burst of blue light flashing on the nerve cord behind the puppet master, and then the whole person floated into the air, with the psychic shield in front of him Not only is the coverage wider, it's also brighter.

But as the puppet master exploded, the Foundation soldiers around him also fell one after another, and the 'single-shaped' eyepiece on his head also lost its luster.

"Ok?"

Amber, who noticed this, immediately switched to her psychic vision, and then saw the heads of these fallen Foundation soldiers. The weak psychic energy was pulled by an invisible force and entered the puppet master's brain. in the posterior nerve cord.

And this nerve cord, made of unknown metal and some kind of biological material, is like an 'external power supply', constantly providing the puppet master with additional psychic energy.

"Did the 'Star Absorbing Technique' be put into use by the Foundation so quickly? I thought it would be developed later."

Amber looked at the familiar skill in front of her, a skill she had seen on the dungeon boss related to the Quest for Truth Foundation.

This skill, nicknamed the 'Star Absorbing Technique' by players, is some kind of psychic 'extracting' technology with an unclear name by the Quest for Truth Foundation.

It is said that the technical prototype of this thing was produced in a copy of a Forerunner ruins. It is a psychic amplification technology that strengthens oneself through external abilities.

The transformation surgeries those Foundation soldiers underwent not only caused them to lose their sense of autonomy and completely obey the orders of Foundation psykers like the 'Puppet Masters', but the devices on their heads were also stored in their bodies.' Extracted spiritual energy.

As mentioned before, everyone in this world actually has this mysterious energy within them.

It's just that the spiritual energy in ordinary people's bodies is too small to affect the material world, so it will not affect themselves or other people.

This device of the Foundation perfectly solves the situation where ordinary people's physical and mental energy are wasted.

But the price is that once they are 'drained' by the absorbing party, these 'mobile energy storage containers' will die on the spot.

The enhanced version of the psychic shield directly blocked this round of fire from the Annihilators. When these Annihilators stopped firing, the illumination devices on their bodies began to cool down.

The puppet master immediately turned from defense to offense, and the largest psychic impact Amber had ever seen since coming to this world was released by the puppet master in front of him.

And this 'power-enhanced version' of psychic impact also successfully overturned the Annihilator who was charging at the front. Although the other Annihilators relied on their own weight to stabilize their bodies, they were also blocked from charging. .

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the puppet master flashed forward and attacked forward, and his emotionless voice also sounded.

"Foundation soldiers, attack."
