From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 316 No, you will self-destruct if you can’t beat them?
Saleh felt like he had had an extremely long dream.

In the dream, the conservatives and radicals completely broke apart. After the latter took advantage and completed the great purge, they led the entire civilization to launch a space-time expedition without hesitation.

This is an expedition with no retreat, and no one knows where the final result will lead their civilization.

Saleh, who has always been firmly opposed to the completely uncontrollable plan of the 'Time and Space Expedition', retreated to this 'Think Tank No. 322' with his companions after the great purge against them began.

As the deacon of a think tank, she and her companions resisted for a long time with the help of a small number of combatants and defensive devices in the think tank. However, due to a serious shortage of combatants and technical weapons, the think tank was eventually captured by radicals.

All companions were executed mercilessly, and the ridiculous charge given to them was 'impeding the development of the entire civilization'.

As for her, who served as the defense operations commander of the think tank at the last moment, the radicals did not directly execute her, but locked her in a cryogenic sleep chamber and exiled her.

At the moment the hatch closed, Saleh heard the last words left to her by the leading radical elite soldier:

"Traitor, take your pathetic compassion and stay in this hopeless universe forever."

And now, the dream has finally awakened.
"Welcome back, dear deacon of Saleh Think Tank, the duration of this cryogenic sleep period is 734,825,172 days."

Then she suddenly realized that she was not dreaming, and that everything that happened in the 'dream' was what happened to her before she was forced into cryogenic hibernation.
Immediately afterwards, the think tank deacon suddenly thought of another question.

"External command?"

Saleh frowned and applied a psychic shield to himself at the same time - during the sleep cabin's 'wake-up procedure', there is a function similar to 'super fast charge' that can wake him up from hibernation. The Jerram people quickly recharge their batteries to cope with possible emergencies.

If the radicals put themselves into a cryogenic sleep chamber and then took the entire civilization to carry out a "space-time expedition", then who woke them up?
Radical people would not be kind enough to set a time and wait until after that to end their cryogenic hibernation.

After "sleeping" for more than two million years, Saleh found that she was still a little awake for a while. The special brain structure of the Jerram people meant that she needed to spend some time waiting for the "partitions" in her brain to develop one by one. be reactivated.

The soft foot-like tentacles on the back of her head were originally entangled one by one. Under the stimulation of the recovery fluid injected after the dormant cabin entered the 'wake-up procedure', they slowly unfolded and at the same time returned to their normal softness and fullness - this is Part of the Jerram brain.

These 'soft foot-like tentacles' that are directly connected to the brain are actually extra partitions of their brains. Only when they are all reactivated can Saleh's thinking, calculation, and psychic control abilities truly return to their peak state.

"Assistant, connect the dormant area defense weapons."

But now, this feature rarely comes in handy.

"Wait, how many?"

"Connecting to psychic signals. Currently available defensive weapons are 0"

"The wake-up procedure has ended. External command has been received and the sleep cabin is being opened."

Saleh thought of the think tank attack and defense battle he experienced before going into hibernation. When the think tank finally fell, most of the defense equipment was indeed destroyed, and the energy conversion core was also severely damaged.

The voice of the assistant AI sounded in Saleh's mind again. For the Jerram people who have extremely advanced psychic technology, it is a basic operation for the Jerram people and the 'Internet of All Things' to be connected through psychic powers.

"tsk"

Saleh was stunned for a moment, and her brain instantly converted this long series of numbers into a more intuitive unit.

2013219.65 More than two million years? ? ?
"Are you crazy? Is this assistant AI really dreaming?"

If he had slept for more than two million years according to what the assistant AI had just said, the other equipment in this think tank would have been almost eroded by time.

While thinking about this, the door of the dormant cabin slowly opened.

When the condensed white mist gradually dissipated, Saleh also saw clearly a circle of creatures on guard near his dormant cabin. Homo sapiens wearing ancient mechanical exoskeletons and holding bizarre weapons?

"These Homo sapiens who were pushed back to the Stone Age have evolved again?"

Saleh quickly recalled in his mind the process in which the Jerram people's huge fleet bulldozed the galaxies controlled by Homo sapiens one by one, and stripped off all the technical data of this civilization, returning it to the Stone Age. While thinking about how to greet these 'Homo sapiens'.

The language system at that time is definitely unusable now, and Saleh, who has a 'spiritual mysophobia', is not willing to use psychic powers to 'communicate directly' with these Homo sapiens.

However, this question soon no longer required her to think about it, because the people from the Quest for Truth Foundation took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Control team, go up and control this creature. Other units should be on alert and fire directly if there is any abnormality."

The puppet master issued the order. This is also the routine operation of the Quest for Truth Foundation when encountering unknown creatures in the Forerunner ruins. When communication is impossible, it is obvious that 'violent means' can be used to communicate more directly.

The moment he controlled the surrounding armed units through his spiritual energy, Saleh noticed it.

Before Foundation soldiers armed with non-lethal weapons could surround him, the 'Forerunner' flew directly out of the dormant cabin.

"Fire! Fire!"

The next second, the surging firepower from the Foundation flooded the area where Saleh was located. The sleeping cabin and maintenance area in the area were also destroyed under the fierce firepower attack.

A series of explosions directly blocked everyone's sight, but they did not cease fire and continued to cover the target area with fire.

Amber's eyes widened when he saw this from a distance. He never thought that the "archaeological excavation" work of the Quest for Truth Foundation would be carried out in such a straightforward manner.

The Foundation's attacks may seem ferocious, but the law of 'smoke, no harm' applies in every world.

When a Puppet Master 'sacrifice' Foundation soldiers recharged themselves, the psychic impact released was even more powerful. The shock wave rushed out from the explosion of fire and swept across the Foundation armed units in a radial form. , embodies what it means to "turn your back on your horse".

The Puppet Master knew that there was no need to fight now, because the psychic strength levels of both sides were not at the same level at all. Even if he 'sacrifice' all the Foundation soldiers around him, he would only be able to deal with a few waves.

When the reserves of spiritual energy are exhausted, nothing can stop the creature that appears to be a 'precursor'.

In this case, the puppet master thought of the 'Foundation Execution Code' that was engraved in his mind like a soul imprint.

"Everyone, hold back this unknown creature! The victim, prepare to mechanically detonate!"

After his order was given, Amber saw the door to the sleeping area being forcibly opened, and an HCP with a familiar appearance that even gave Amber PTSD rushed in.

When the HCP with the foundation's logo opened the tactical nuclear bomb launch box on its back, Amber was completely overwhelmed.

"No, can you please stop launching nuclear explosions at every turn!"

Although she didn’t know how this Federation-produced tactical nuclear strike Steppenwolf was obtained by the Truth-Seeking Foundation, Amber obviously couldn’t care less about it now.

Although he still likes to see the truth-seeking foundation fighting against suspected forerunner targets, this does not mean that he is willing to eat nuclear bombs together.

A small charged particle cannon mounted on the rear of the power armor was quickly assembled, and at the same time Amber emerged from the shadows, he aimed at the tactical nuclear strike HCP.

The next second, the purple charged particle beam directly hit the link between the tactical nuclear bomb launch box and the HCP.
