The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"Try not to do this..." Oregana was just about to tell her, but she noticed that her armor was controlling her hands and feet, and she was moving towards difficult moves that Bayonetta would often do, but normal people couldn't do. "Wait! Wait!! Ahhhhh!!!"

(a pain in the ass)

"Lack of exercise guy!!"

"How can there be any time to exercise! We have endured pressure that we shouldn't have at our age!!"

But anyway, the dreaded mid-air flip stopped.Although she didn't know why the wind was getting stronger and there was a puzzling crosswind, Liu Lizi still controlled her posture like a space glider——she turned over so that her back was facing down, and her two sides The person stumbled forward in an ugly posture as if playing Jenga, and managed to see a platform after tens of seconds.

【Hold on!We're landing right ahead. 】

Haitu's voice came to mind through the communicator, it seems that she should be not far away.Oregana could see another thruster light at the edge of her field of vision, but she didn't have that leeway anytime soon.

"Ready-ready-landing!!"

In order to protect the precious propeller, Liu Lizi didn't intend to just land on his back.In the last few seconds of approaching the platform, she rolled over again, and this time it was Oregana who was underneath, facing the loess with her back to the sky——

This is the last violent shock.

"Pfft!!"

In that short moment, accompanied by the violent impact, even though the inertial stabilizer was operating normally, all the air in the lungs was still squeezed out all at once.Oregana thought it was a miracle that she didn't bite off her tongue.She was violently pushed into the soft soil on the platform, splitting the turf and vegetation, and just slid forward for more than ten meters, just like the plastic sled with a young girl on top of a snowdrift in winter.

"Safe!" Liu Lizi stood up and pulled her boss up. "Perfect landing—the cat will not fall to death so easily!"

"..." Oregana, who was in severe pain and full of error reports in front of her eyes, was pulled up silently. She wanted to complain but couldn't keep up with her physical strength. She just pointed to the cave at the end of the next platform, "The wind is not normal, we have to go in There, otherwise it will be scraped off later.”

Just like what she said, the weather in the vertical well is completely different in just a short time after landing here from the sky.It was calm up there just now, but who would have imagined that there would be such a strong and chaotic wind under the mist?

And Haitu is already waiting in the cave at this moment. Judging by her appearance, she should rely on her own mobility to land here first. After landing here, she began to read the "Abyss Vertical Well Raiders Manual" passed by Makoto. It looks like my wife's hand-copied version.

"You're all right..." She let the two of them into the cave, her face suddenly wrinkled into a ball, "Hiss...it doesn't look like you're all right."

Breaking out of the situation just now, to be honest, just being able to stand still is enough to make people feel lucky.The armor of the three people was full of scratches and dents, and they looked very miserable. On the other hand, Oregana, whose face was on the ground, still had a lot of dirt on the front of her body, she was so embarrassed that she had nothing to say.

"It's not a big problem," she asked the sea hare while digging out the clods embedded in the gaps in the armor, "Start positioning, where are we now?"

"The altimeter shows that we have descended..." Sea Hare pointed upwards. "It's about 3000 meters. There is not much difference between the results of the barometric and gravitational methods."

"It's just incredible."

Oregana sighed.

If the stealth power armor is discarded, it is the worst among all types of power armor, and the drop just now has greatly exceeded its design standards-judging by common sense, Liu Lizi's propeller should have been on the way. The overload failed, and the two crashed together into a tragic pile on the ground.

"Normally not, but there was an unusual updraft just now," Liu Lizi pointed outside, "ah, the wind is stronger than before, look."

Oregana stood up and walked towards the cave entrance with difficulty.Indeed, as Liu Lizi said, the wind is getting stronger.She had to use the linear launcher on her wrist to drive the zipline into the rock wall as an anchor to hold herself.In the vertical well, a large strip of powdery pumice, sand grains, dust, various small objects, and even some strangely shaped creatures all struggled to spin up.

It's much brighter here than expected - the level of light is like the sunset at dusk, not dazzling, but you can see clearly.There was nothing that looked like a light source in the surroundings, and there were glowing moss everywhere on the stone wall, but the faint light obviously couldn't fully illuminate the place.

It is like an opaque screen, casting a huge shadow on the rock wall. At the same time, it is constantly hitting the cliff with glowing moss and the floating island below. The huge vibration makes the ground start to shake.The things rolled up by the whirlwind burst into various places like raindrops, scattered a burst of fragments, or fell into a bloody corpse, which was blown off by the wind and continued to spin a few seconds later, conveying unreasonable violence and death .

"It probably takes the updraft of LV5 to achieve this level." Oregana watched for a few seconds, then commented, "When you stare at the abyss, the abyss lifts its own skirt..."

"puff……"

"I don't know how to respond to your exclamation. I really admire your mentality of telling dirty jokes in such a situation." Liu Lizi tried to remove the drone from the equipment rack, and wanted to put it outside. Measure the wind speed in the storm "When we just landed, this storm didn't seem to have been born yet, not to mention the detection of airflow disturbances, and we didn't even hear a little sound."

The result is obvious. The drone lost control as soon as it was released. It was carried by the storm and rushed hundreds of meters above, and quickly disappeared into the mist—it seems that it is indeed something similar to the fog of the battlefield. , Even if it is blown like this, they are not rolled up together.

"This place is so evil." Seeing the drone disappear into the sky, Sea Rabbit shook his head, "We can't stay here forever, we have to find a way to contact the mothership. The space structure here is a mess, If the self-destruct consciousness is left in place for a short period of time, there is a possibility that it will not be able to reach the subspace."

"That's right." Oregana nodded, and then said in the tone of a protagonist in a dangerous situation in a shonen manga, "You must never die in such a place."

"It's obviously the same sentence, but the emotions contained in different people's utterances are different..."

"..."

When ordinary people mention this sentence, the emphasis is on 'death', but when the skullmaker said this sentence, the emphasis was on 'this kind of place'...

As for panic and fear, the three of them had absolutely nothing.This is not because there is any way out, but panic and fear can't solve any problems. If you let negative emotions occupy your heart, things are easy to happen-especially when you have something to do with dark worms and subspaces. place of relationship.Fear opens holes in the mind, and holes open your enemies. Keeping your spirits up and your spirits up is not just a good quality, it's a necessity.

This is an iron rule for clones whose consciousness is more important than the body.Why do you say that the more experienced, the higher the psychological toughness of the clone fighters, the easier it is to become a comedian, and gradually approach funny characters as time goes by?That's why.

Because the method of mobilizing negative emotions to attack the spirit has little effect on a real comedian, and their spiritual defenses are almost indestructible. (far eye)

"We can't do anything right now," Oregana retreated from the hole, "We have to find a way to send out the signal."

She also opened Parry's wife's manuscript, and judged the location based on the falling route just now.If the accuracy of this map is relatively high, my position should have crossed the floating island area at this moment, and I am about to approach the transverse belt.To put it bluntly, it still belongs to the "shallow" area mentioned by cave explorers, but it is quite far from any stronghold, and it is basically impossible to use the facilities of the locals (such as some kind of vine-woven hanging basket or something) ) crawl back.

And not far below, with a straight-line distance of about seven kilometers, there is a foothold of locals.That is one of the 'entrances' they searched into the diaphragm belt. If they reach that position, they can walk back along the steep but not impossible route, but the bad weather outside and the degree of equipment wear and tear are There is no way to cross these seven kilometers.And follow the cave to find an internal path... Only the entrance of this cave is recorded in the manuscript, and I saw it with a telescope from the foothold below. I only know that there is a cave here, and I don't know anything inside.

It is very dangerous to drill holes without a hole rope, and it is better not to do this kind of thing.

When the equipment is good and the weather is sunny, you can use the propeller to run along the cliff like the iron pilot, but forget it now.

She sat down against the rock and looked outside thoughtfully:

"But how to send it..."

Whether it is a conventional detector or a drone, there is no way for such things to guarantee that they can pass through the storm in front of them.For example, the one that was released just now disappeared when it was thrown out, like a green caterpillar that ate a strong wind head-on.

There is definitely something wrong with this storm, whether it occurs at a good timing or in a good location, it seems to be directed at him.Every cyclone is full of conspiracy, but now the three of them can't fight against this storm, they can only watch the messy things including (not small) small animals being blown up.

Wait... If these monsters were still alive when they were blown up, wouldn't the people above be scared to death... (covering face)

It is estimated that the above has already entered the Godzilla film set. I don’t know if they can use those electromagnetic rifles to compete head-on with these creatures with unique aesthetics...

Hmm...as long as you can break through this mist, the news will be received by the people above.Now the reinforcements must have arrived around the vertical well of the abyss. If they can send up a signal indicating their position, then they can find a way to bring back all the people trapped here.

Information-carrying sensors and drones are not enough, maybe something simple and crude is needed.

"The altitude is three kilometers..." Oregana murmured, and then turned to the sea hare, "If it's only a little over three kilometers...give us the gun."

Haitu showed a surprised expression:

"What do you want?" She reminded while handing over the gun, "This gun can't go that far."

Haitu understands what Oregana means—to report her position, and when complex methods cannot be used, a light signal is the most concise and clear method.The particle beam, like light, basically moves forward in a straight line, and is very conspicuous. If a particle beam shoots up from below, penetrates the mist and shoots into the sky, then the reinforcements planning to search and rescue can immediately follow the ballistic trajectory. Calculate the location.

However, as mentioned before, this submachine gun has reduced the constricting ring to reduce the volume and mass for easy portability, and the consequence of this is the decline in power and range.It will not affect anything during the battle, but now this situation is a bit fatal... Because the range is not enough, and it is affected by bad weather, there is a high probability that it will not be able to hit that far.

"It should be done temporarily." She took the submachine gun and sliced ​​open the gun with the Khorne axe. That action startled the two people next to her. "I thought, this will work."

"Fuck!! Such a big move?!"

"It looks terrible!"

She didn't care about the reactions of the two people next to her, she just disassembled the gun wholeheartedly, then took out her own one, and disassembled the choke in front of the barrel.Then carefully install the two sets of constriction rings that were removed from the sea rabbit's hand to the front of his own - adjust the lightsaber to low-power welding components, use the new star knife as a pressure plate and soldering iron or even a screwdriver, and cut Khorne's ax The handle of the ax is used as a hammer, and the blade of the ax is used as a crowbar, and the clanging is very busy.

"What kind of fairy operation are you doing?!"

"The constriction rate is not enough, so let's add two constriction rings on it, which is probably enough." She sat on the ground with a duck without raising her head, "No problem, we know the structure of this gun very well. no problem."

"But you assemble a beam gun and it looks like blacksmithing!"

"It's all a small trick, sea rabbit." She held up the gun that looked unusually punk when combined - the barrel of the original gun was twice as long, and the casing was not installed for the sake of saving trouble, and the entire internal structure was exposed. It's a wasteland style, "You haven't seen Jim Raynor's gang fight robots, that's called brain-slapping work."

"...that's enough." (covering face)

However, there is of course no quality assurance for such temporarily modified things.Oregana held up the gun and walked to the edge of the cave, and just raised the gun and fired - green high-heat particles sputtered from the gun muzzle, like a dazzling firework exploding in front of her, and from the firework , a dense beam of light extended upwards at high speed, passed through the storm, and disappeared at the other end of the twilight.

Oregana turned around, the armor on her chest and face scalded dozens of small craters from the escaped particle beam. If she didn't wear power armor and used this gun, the gunman would probably be shot when the trigger was pulled. Burn to death on the spot.But she didn't care at all, and walked back into the cave with the obviously overheated weapon:

"It's done, we're sure the power is enough. After a few minutes of cooling down, fire again, as long as someone above will notice." She made a victory gesture, "If you're lucky, you can fire a third shot."

"That is to say, is it possible that the next special meow will explode?"

"Well, that's what we mean." Oregana nodded, showing a proud look, "It's already very powerful, right, we..."

But at this moment, an uncomfortable feeling of cold climbed up from behind.Then the world in the field of vision twisted slightly, and the sound inside the helmet beeped at the highest volume—this was the built-in countermeasure against mental attacks in the armor.But after detecting the exact mental attack, the armor will start the buzzer immediately, and wake up the wearer who may be in a mentally abnormal state with a loud sound, and then inject special medicine through the neural interface to strengthen the mental resistance, and at the same time Open the pre-set consciousness rubbings, use the sub-processor to simulate the state of the wearer's brain, and guide the mental attack to the "safety sandbox" simulated by the system.

Of course, this can only deal with the mental attack directly aimed at the ontology, but it is not effective for the 'soft' attack that uses the environment and atmosphere to generate hints.

That is to say... What caused him to make a wrong judgment was probably some kind of environmental hint. It was not a direct mental attack, so it was difficult to be noticed.If you use a stand-in attack as an analogy, this kind of 'soft' attack is to use the DIO time stop to run to the hotel where they are staying, poison Jotaro's cup, or time stop to pull the brake cable of the car that played the dick , stole everyone's wallets and passports, and even put embroidered nails in Jotaro's leather shoes.

Just like Xiao Meiyan ransacking the arsenal, this is unstoppable.

But relatively, the effect is not very good. Basically, it can't cause direct damage. It can only make the opponent make some irrelevant misjudgments. Only with clever wrists and clever timing can it be done well.

But now, the opposite side has already come up, and the timing is also amazingly ingenious-it just happened to be the moment when he showed his flaws because of the success of the experiment.But that's just a flaw that the other party thinks.

After realizing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Oregana's mouth, she grabbed the Nova Knife, and threw the scorching plasma blade with all her strength into the shadow of the rock wall not far away.

Chapter 904 Chapter 812: This is the power of Nagai Hao (Fog)

With the sound of the wind, the Nova Knife left a fiery trail and cut deeply into the hard stone pillar.Formed after thousands of years of erosion, the uniquely shaped stone pillars could not withstand the astonishingly hot plasma blades, and the evaporated rock formed a small-scale explosion.This not only threw the Nova Knife deep into the cave, but also forced out what was hidden behind the stone pillar before.

This is a very novel experience for Oregana.

Normally, if someone wants to ambush a swordsman to murder a warlord, he will be detected because of nervousness, fear and killing intent—even if the center of those legends is cold, the knife is also cold, and it sounds like it was frozen Assassin, when approaching the target, he will still become hot with fighting spirit.Unless the ambush is an automatic machine gun turret equipped with only low-level AI, or a spring trap with cheese strips on it, it is almost impossible to assassinate Oregana.

But today, she was almost plotted against.She didn't know that she was under attack until the opponent actually started to attack, and the sensor caught the opponent one step earlier than herself.

If the opponent is holding a particle rifle or something similar, he may have just been hammered over.But what the opponent used to die was an attack aimed at the spirit with psychic energy as the core-this is too weak for the triple defense composed of the collar of Khorne, the security sandbox of power armor, and tenacious psychology. .

But the other party obviously didn't realize this. The security sandbox has a very strong defense against mind control and pollution. This is not only in the 'protection', but also in the 'camouflage' of the enemy.Because a high-performance independent computing module is used to disguise the thinking environment, the other party will really think that this place is inside this guy's head.

The one who had just run outside to escape the explosion was a stern-looking woman in the usual gear of alpine climbers: a leather hat, a water bottle strapped around her waist, a shirt and jacket that looked well-worn, not only It was stained, and the cuffs and the like were worn and faded.

There was a dark red light in her eyes, which made her public face suddenly full of presence—this reminded Oregana of the movie "○ Beast World" that she watched before time travel. There is a scene where elves and humans have a meeting. If one of the elves does not have glowing eyes, it will be a completely featureless public face, which does not feel like an elf at all.

It seems that making the eyes shine is also an important part of highlighting the character's characteristics. (convinced) (plans to tell Dark Rock later)

The security sandbox shows that the other party has embedded a rather lengthy data string into his 'thinking'.This does not seem to be stabbing a 'receiving end' in the mind to facilitate control, but rather projecting the entire memory directly into it.This kind of "erosion" is worse than mind control, just like pouring sleeping pills into black tea. If this mass of data is integrated into the mind, it can subtly change the structure of the entire personality.

This is a very quaint but effective method.As we all know, memory, as a basic psychological process, is closely related to other mental activities.If the memory of an individual is successfully changed, and a lot of messy things are incorporated into it, its personality and sense of belonging will all be changed.Project a chunk of memory directly into a person's brain, somehow trick him into thinking it's his memory, and that's it.

This is how the Zerg Infectors dealt with the Tyranid Marines who were swallowed by the pill.

But now, everything is too big, and even a lot of data that can be used as research samples have been thrown into the data core. (shrug)

"Don't hide," Oregana chuckled under the helmet. She asked the processor to analyze the implanted 'memory', making her voice scary, and asked seriously, "You designed the These?"

"..."

The psyker dressed as an explorer didn't say anything. Behind her, two people, a man and a woman, slowly came out of the darkness.Both of them were dressed as explorers, and both held pistols with thick barrels in their hands. From the fact that the muzzles were too small, it could be seen that this should be an early model laser pistol.Compared with the creepers, they are much bigger, but their power may not be much greater-although this is already a great alien equipment here.

It should also be smuggled weapons obtained from illegal channels.

The six people appeared to be confronting each other faintly, but unlike usual tense confrontations, both sides felt that they had stabilized now.

It wasn't until this close that Oregana could barely perceive the other party - I don't know if they managed to hide the perception of the Great Demon of Khorne, or if they were affected by the too chaotic environment here, or even... the other party's thinking structure may be different from what you know.
