From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 313 The forerunner may be alive

Under the puppet master's orders, the still-living Foundation soldiers attacked forward without hesitation.

Although many of them were wiped out by the Annihilator's lasers, and a lot of 'spare energy cans' were opened by the puppet master just now, these Foundation soldiers who have no independent consciousness and are basically equivalent to 'puppet' have no idea at all. What is fear and fear.

From another perspective, they can even be said to be a kind of perfect soldiers. No matter what the current situation is, they will resolutely execute orders without any impact on their morale.

At present, these Foundation soldiers were divided into two parts and spread out to both sides according to standard tactics, and began to search for a favorable position in the ruins.

It was at this time that Amber discovered that the density of heavy firepower carried by these Foundation soldiers was far higher than that of ordinary troops.

Shoulder-resistant chain guns, portable electromagnetic guns, and individual missile launchers, these platoon-level heavy support firepower are considered squad firearms in the Foundation's order of battle.

安珀硬是从剩下的一百二十多名基金会士兵中，数出了12门便携式电磁炮、20门30毫米链炮，单兵反载具导弹发射器就不说了.还有近40名单兵巡飞弹发射手和10个步兵级荷电粒子炮双人操作小组。

"What kind of phobia is this?"

Amber had always thought that she was also suffering from the phobia of insufficient firepower, but now it seemed that the people at the Quest for Truth Foundation were more seriously ill.

This is also how humans in this world deal with the Forerunner creations in most cases.

Because their combat environment is completely different from the traditional battlefield, the enemies they face are all kinds of weird autonomous machines and dangerous creatures left behind by the Forerunner civilization.
When you can't figure out the enemy's details, the best way to deal with it is to use heavy firepower to completely tear the opponent into pieces.

Although some turret-like devices installed on the external armor of the Annihilator can sweep out beams of rays at extremely high frequencies to intercept incoming strikes, and can even cut off some penetrating rods with precision, the "dead elephants piled up with ants" The same laws apply here.

The huge Annihilator suddenly fell to the ground like a hill, causing the ground to shake for a while.

In addition, chain guns, electromagnetic rifles, anti-vehicle missiles and individual patrol missiles were attacking these annihilators as if they were free of charge.

Under the concentrated fire attack of the Foundation soldiers, the Annihilator at the front quickly exposed its flaw, and the puppet master seized the opportunity to blast a piercing psychic impact directly at the weak point.

But he also understood why Foundation soldiers were so armed.

Soon, the battle area ahead became lively.

While the Puppet Master flexibly shuttled across the battlefield, constantly releasing psychic shocks and 'mini' psychic lightning, bit by bit tearing apart the external armor worn by Annihilus, a large number of fire teams composed of Foundation soldiers also began. their attacks.

The beams emitted by the ten infantry-level charged particle cannons left scorch marks on the armor of these Annihilators, and some parts that were continuously irradiated were even almost penetrated.

The orange-red projectiles dragged out by the ultra-high-speed tungsten alloy penetrating rod weakened the light blue kinetic energy shield on the Annihilator's body.

Its head armor was completely shattered after it fell to the ground, revealing a head that looked like an underdeveloped salamander hidden under the helmet.

For a moment, the huge head was still shaking. The Annihilator, who had no vocal organs, could not make a sound by himself, and could only vent his inner rage in this way.

But soon, the unprotected head was blasted by several high-speed piercing rods. When faced with weapons with sufficient kinetic energy, these huge carbon-based creatures are still quite fragile.

But when Amber saw this, she still felt something was wrong. The strength of these 'Annihilators' seemed a bit too low.
As the 'door god' of most Forerunner ruins copies, the strength of this elite monster should not be underestimated. The kinetic energy shield on their outer armor alone is enough for the strategy team to drink. It is a pure DPS detector. As long as the team's firepower is not up to standard at all, it will not be able to break through this shield.

In a battle like this where five Annihilators are unleashed in one breath, if the strategy team does not have a dozen level 4 or above psykers plus nearly a battalion of NPC units for fire support, then there is no need to even think about 'activating monsters' .
But now this psyker from the Quest for Truth Foundation, under the cover of fire from friendly units, almost single-handedly killed the Annihilator.
"This is unscientific. Is there a 'monkey version' of the Forerunners' creations?"

At the same time as this strange idea came to his mind, Amber saw the puppet master in front of him who had eliminated an Annihilator without stopping. He led the Foundation soldiers to attack the next target without stopping.

At the same time, he also heard another noise behind him.

Amber looked back and saw five HCPs with the LOGO of the Quest for Truth Foundation rushing to the battlefield with several main battle tanks and multi-legged tanks, accompanied by a large number of Foundation soldiers.

Obviously, while launching the attack, the puppet master also called for reinforcements from the reserve force.

In order to prevent the group from being wiped out in the ruins from the beginning, the foundation's armed scientific expedition team usually sends a vanguard unit into the ruins to investigate the situation.

After receiving the signal from the vanguard, they will wait for an opportunity to dispatch the backup force based on the content of the signal.

With these support units on the scene, this battle immediately becomes less difficult.

The remaining four Annihilators are, as Amber guessed, similar to the 'monkey version'. Especially when facing HCP's heavy particle cannon salvo, they basically have no resistance.

One salvo and some last-minute hits from other units can successfully kill one.

Although in the process, the Foundation's armed forces are also constantly losing, especially those puppet-like Foundation soldiers, who are basically equivalent to cannon fodder.

Either their psychic energy was drained away by the Puppet Master, or they were swept away by the Annihilator's beam.

Fifteen minutes later, all the Annihilators fell to the ground. In addition to losing a large number of soldiers, the Quest for Truth Foundation also paid the price of an HCP, a main battle tank, and multiple multi-legged tanks.

When the surviving Foundation HCP, under the command of the puppet master, was finishing up the fallen Annihilator, Sater Isen also led his men to the console again.

This time, they took out a strange-looking machine that seemed to be a combination of Forerunner and human technology and connected it to an interface on the console.

Soon, the low siren stopped, and at the same time, under the operation of Sater Ethan and others, the voice broadcast system also sounded again.

However, the content broadcast this time is not the intrusion warning message just now, but something similar to a comprehensive self-inspection of the facility.

The situation in each area of ​​this pioneer facility was reported one by one.

To Amber's surprise, most areas in this facility had problems. Either the energy supply was abnormal, or they were in a low-power dormant state.

Except for the 'cryogenic dormant area' located in the core area of ​​this facility.

"Low temperature sleep area, self-checking.
The energy supply is normal, the cryogenic sleep chamber should be running 250000, and the cryogenic sleep chamber is actually running 1"
