The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

This way of thinking was quite popular in the Middle Ages... Although it is not too late to start relearning, it is difficult for them to have any innovative development for at least a generation.

Just as he continued to speak, the Sangheili warrior walking in the front suddenly raised his spear and opened the energy blade at the tip of the spear.The blue light suddenly illuminated his surroundings——

[Commander, please come and take a look!This is an undocumented one! 】

Murdoch Drama was startled, and walked over quickly, followed by Oregana and War Scythe.

Beside the passageway, lit by the blade of light, lay a hideous corpse.The airtight spacesuit had ruptured, revealing a scaled arm.There was a big hole in the mask, revealing half of the head. A long beak with sharp teeth protruded from it. The mouth was wide open, as if screaming. Two eyeballs fell out of the eye sockets. Only black connective tissue is attached to it.

Judging from the lack of feathers and spines on the arms, this is a female Jigyar, probably a small captain of the pirates.Her needle pistol was caught between two bulges on the ground, empty of ammunition.And on the wall next to it, there was still half a dry corpse stuck to it, with its head buried in it. Judging from its body structure, it was a human being, with fragments of protective clothing tightly held in its mutilated hands.Its abdomen was blown wide open, and its internal organs were scattered on the surrounding ground, becoming fragmented in the vacuum, and its moisture had already been lost. There were many pink needle bombs stuck on the wall next to the corpse.

Under the illumination of the light, these translucent needle bullets shone coquettishly, looking sinisterly beautiful.

【Goo... Meow meow...】

Oregana made a sound of emotion, she started the recording equipment, and took pictures of the death scene in front of her eyes - there are so many details here, it is enough for everyone to restore the murder scene here.

[Is it the previous pirate? 】

[Probably yes. 】

A Sangheili warrior stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the corpse on the wall without thinking, and a series of roars suddenly sounded beside him——

[Don't touch it! 】

【Back off! 】

【Fuck! 】

This startled the Sangheili, but by then he had touched the body, and the fright made him tighten his hands.With this force, the corpse fell off the wall as if making a 'pop'.A big hole was left on the wall, and the structure inside was like the mouth of an odd shrimp. It opened and closed forcefully there, but quickly collapsed slowly like a melting candle, gradually shrunk into a ball, and stopped moving. .

The Sangheili warrior screamed silently, and he jumped two small steps to the side in embarrassment to avoid the body fragments-this action was too shameful for a Sangheili, but no one laughed at him because of it.Because the scene just now was so beyond common sense, even Liu Lizi was taken aback. She had already spread out her fighting claws and put on a fighting pose, waiting for something to come out of it.

But the thing that looked like a miniature tunnel worm didn't come out until the end.

[Commander Muduo Drama, is this what you are talking about? 】

No matter how you look at the picture in front of you, it looks like the two of them were ambushed here.A human being was caught by the wall and grabbed the Kigyar next to him in an emergency, and then the Kigyar drew his gun in desperation and shot back, blowing his stomach, but then he himself died from the damage of the protective clothing The loss of pressure caused by it... But, is it really possible for human arm strength to tear this kind of airtight suit with certain protective capabilities?This is a human being, not a Kirahani...

[No... it's the first time I've seen this kind of thing. 】He shook his head and murmured 【I know some people are trapped in the wall, but I never knew that the wall can move, and...it should be safe at such a close distance from the entrance. 】

She lowered her head and looked at the eyes of the Jigyar people protruding from their eye sockets. This thing always reminded her of the phenomenon of eye stalks that often appear when the dark worm is infected.Thinking of this, she stretched the front probe of the detector in her hand, found an angle and pierced it through the eye socket of the Jigyar corpse.Accompanied by a dry feeling, the probe sank into the flesh and blood, and for a moment, the people next to him tensed up, for fear that the corpse would suddenly explode and hurt others.

Although everyone knows that this possibility is very low, but since the "wall mutation" just now, everyone has tensed up, for fear that there will be another big surprise somewhere.

Until Oregana broke the probe from the prefabricated break at the end, leaving the entire probe inside the corpse, it was still lying on the ground, motionless.But Oregana's expression became serious, and she said——

[A small amount of dark worm infection has been detected. It is not the original dark worm virus, but a 'subspecies' similar to the original enterovirus that retains some of the dark worm characteristics. 】She said to the others【Only relying on the tools at hand will not be able to get specific data for a while, but maintaining the shield is necessary——Your judgment is not wrong, Commander. 】

[You mean, that dark worm?are they here 】

Mu Duo De Lama lowered his voice as if he was afraid that something in the surrounding darkness would hear it. The Sword of St. Helios knew what the Dark Worm was, but almost everyone felt that they were probably Can't see them anymore.Therefore, when Oregana said these words, it had a particularly strong impact on him.

Many people think that the greatest fear is the unknown, but it is not.The greatest fear is not the unknown, but the moment when the indescribable unknown is about to become known.Sounds polite, right?So let’s give a few examples—the roller coaster is at the top, the BGM suddenly sounds before the door opens in a horror movie, and two tendrils in the shape of [?丿] stick out from under the gas stove—this kind of time is the scariest.

Now, for the Sangheili soldiers, was the moment when the unknown became known.

But everyone in Tartarus is used to this. Two technical boys took pictures, collected materials, inspected another corpse, and scanned the hand of the Sangheili who just stretched out his hand-although because the shield was open The source of infection was not scanned on the glove, but judging from the disgusted face behind the transparent mask, the Sangheili probably didn't even want his hand anymore.

Terrified yet.

[I also detected it, but the reaction was very weak. 】The tech kid who scanned the body looked up after completing the inspection【It doesn't look like there is a living entity next to it. 】

[Indeed, none of the scout ships picked up the signal.There should be some secondary infection here, it may have fallen, or it may have been brought over by someone...] The Scythe of War guessed.This level of infection once existed in the colony where the Starlink Community was landed for a long time, and it did not dissipate until the corpses were disposed of. The post-disaster investigation showed that this infection did not cause fundamental damage to the local ecology. Affect, but also can not penetrate the shield.

Judging from this map, the Star Alliance has come here to explore more than once in the past, and this is only the middle section.In other words, when they left here before, they were basically unaffected.Then why did the pirate's exploration team have an accident in this position?

Because there are humans in it?

The commander thought for a few seconds, he was obviously unwilling to go any further.But in the end, the loyalty and strong will he cultivated in the past made him decide to complete the task - although he didn't know anything about dark worms, the people of Tartarus were all experts, and they knew how to do it safely , I will never make fun of my own life.

[Let's move on. 】Mudo Drama finally spoke and said【We don't have much time for this trip, at least we have to show you the end of this passage—the arbiter Tier Vadam just wants you to see That's the one that sent us here. 】

In the next ten minutes, everyone accelerated their progress.The tunnel is narrow and long, with twists and turns, and sometimes people even lose their sense of direction. If you don't look at the data next to the combat eyepiece, you will have doubts about whether you are going down or forward.The light of various searchlights made the hard and smooth pustules on the wall reflect strange lights, and those lights refracted each other in all directions, until finally it seemed that people were only seen advancing inside the hollow diamond.

[After this journey, it should be made into a documentary, like "Cave Quest". 】

[Forget it, the degree of camera shake is probably "Cloverfield Files", the content is a mixed version of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Space Station Disaster", these mixed versions will definitely not be sold. La. 】

"The Calamity of the Space Station" is a horror film made before the Camilas Empire. Hit the outer wall of the space station. Although the combat units hidden inside died of the impact, the infection entered the space station.The protagonists have to fight their infected companions while trying to escape the space station.Although there are many flaws and many bugs, the horror effects and special effects are first-rate, leading to extreme polarization in the final evaluation.

The densely packed passages in the space station in the movie are very similar to the corridor in front of you.

The Sangheili didn't strike up a conversation, they probably don't understand these topics - like other races of the Covenant, the Sangheili's entertainment is quite scarce, and most of their lives are spent in obtaining honor and preparing for honor.But they seemed interested in what these strangers were discussing, which might be a good sign.

Just when Oregana was thinking about these things, Murdoch Drama motioned everyone to stop:

[Okay, stop here, pay attention to the right at the next intersection...]

[What's there? 】

[Look. 】

He backed away.

In front of him was a huge cavern with rough, uneven walls, and a huge pillar in the middle that stretched from the floor to the ceiling.There is a conspicuous silver light in the middle of the pillar.

Oregana took a closer look, it was not a lamp, but a piece of armor.She had seen this model, like the one worn by Tyr Vadam, ancient armor reserved for Sangheili Arbiters.

The arbitrator was fixed on the pillar, and half of his body had already melted into the pillar. Dense roots protruded from the pillar and pierced into the inside of his armor. The groove of the helmet covered the whole Face.The right hand was still outstretched, holding a purple plasma pistol firmly in it.

In addition to this person, there are many other people stuck to the pillars, including Grunts in battle suits, Kirahani, and Sangheilis in ordinary air-tight suits. They were all attracted to the central pillar or on the ceiling.Some seemed to be alive, but most of the corpses were dry, decayed and even ash.

And at the place where the pillars and the ceiling are connected, there is a huge spherical object with a diameter of about 20 meters.Its appearance is exactly the same as the Forerunner truck that was confiscated before, with a blue cold light shining inside the hollow shell, and a large number of 'twigs' clinging to it, as if to hug this huge 'jewel' tightly.

【Looks like we've found the right place...】 She looked at the ball and swallowed a mouthful of saliva 【Remember the location, we'll evacuate first, and then...】

but.

Before Oregana finished her sentence, something suddenly moved in the middle of the pillar, and then a dazzling green light appeared in front of her eyes instantly.

----------------------

Chapter 1104 Chapter 134: Oregana's Cosmic War

Green light filled Oregana's field of vision in an instant.

In the past several firefights with the Covenant, apart from the crystal-induced bombs flying around, this kind of light impressed her the most-it was when the Type 25 directed energy pistol was fired with concentrated energy. shine.

The body responds faster than the brain.

She turned sideways, and the powerful plasma cluster flew to the other side of the room with astonishing momentum, exploding dazzling flashes on the wall.The walls melted and collapsed just as before, forming what they looked like after the landslide.Before the next blow came, Oregana was already prepared.The flying speed of the plasma cluster is much slower than the bullet, but its size is much larger than the bullet. If it is a one-on-one duel, this weapon is no threat to the Khorne lord.

The lightsaber suddenly lit up in the dim room, dragging out a flashing tail, and even afterimages appeared quickly—compared with heavy battle axes or solid swords, the lightsaber was already so light that it was difficult for ordinary people to grasp, but in In the hands of a skilled player, this lightness brings almost extreme destructive power and speed.

The tip of the swung sword hit the direction of the plasma group in advance, and then there was a fierce conflict between the two.

In principle, both sides are force fields binding high-heat plasma, but the binding force field of the lightsaber is powered by the furnace of the power armor, and its output will not decrease within a unit of time, and the plasma bombs fired are another It’s the same thing—almost all particle beam weapons and plasma weapons have this problem. Milliseconds are lost, so when the power is close to the collision, of course the lightsaber has an absolute advantage.

The contact between the two erupted with strong light, and it seemed that they had experienced a momentary confrontation, and then the plasma cluster exploded like a water polo.Because there is no air, there is no thermal wave of expansion, nor sharp explosive sound. Some only have beam remnants similar to welding sparks jumping around, hitting spots of light on the shield.

[On the pillar!It's the man on the pillar who's shooting! 】

The surroundings were in chaos due to the sudden attack. On the pillars in the middle of the room, the corpses suddenly moved, and the ancient and lack of maintenance weapons in their hands lit up one after another.These things, like sentry guns fixed to the wall, started firing at about the same time-most of the corpses' eyes were decayed or covered, and it was difficult to imagine how they fired.

The shooting was not precise or sharp, and she even saw that the arms of some corpses were broken due to the recoil during the shooting, and they just hung down limply.Also because of this, she can still stand in place and use the attack instructions that come with the armor itself to wave the red lightsaber in her hand like a Sith to bounce off or smash the light bullet—it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t catch it, this kind of Even if the firepower misses one or two rounds, there is no way to quickly gnaw off his own shield, and the people behind will not be able to see it.

Anyway, what it looks like is that a sword is flicking around, and lights are shining everywhere. It looks so cool that I can't speak.

Oregana didn't know whether to fight back, because the pillar and the structure on it didn't look like ordinary building materials, and she didn't know if there would be a big fun that she couldn't imagine if it was blown up—such as A big truck suddenly hits or something.

Liu Lizi also reacted immediately, she grabbed a Sangheili warrior beside her, and took the gun from his hand——

[Stand back! 】

The scythe of war also shouted:

[Don't fight!Evacuate immediately! 】

He patted the Sangheili warrior who was still dazed beside him hard, urged them to get out of here quickly, and then—

[Go back the same way! 32!Stop being Darth Vader there!Say 'Darth Vidania' (До свидания) to them!Let's go now! 】

This almost caused Oregana, who was attracting firepower in front and receiving plasma bombs with her lightsaber, to miss a few rounds——

【Stop!Stukov can't even play this kind of meme!And your pronunciation is not right at all! 】

【Do not talk nonsense!Get out quickly!I'm going to seal the door with a shield generator! 】

The Sangheili warriors had already withdrawn from the passage, and she also began to withdraw the lightsaber and retreat quickly as War Scythe said.But before she took two steps, the scene in front of her was blurred for a while, as if she guessed the soft cotton, she sank into it all at once.

"?!"

Looking back, the 'truck' had already lit up with a faint blue light at some point.

How similar the light was to what they saw in the memory of the dark worms—the light they emitted when operating the star road was exactly the same as what they saw in front of them.

"Tsk!"

The thrusters behind her roared, and Oregana tried her best to pull herself out of the shapeless ground, but the next moment she found herself rushing towards the wall next to her.The sense of direction and balance disappeared within half a second, and I seemed to have come to the universe without gravity in the blink of an eye, but the wall that was rushing towards me could not be false...

It was too late for her to slow down, and she just slammed into it like this—the expected impact and pain did not hit, and Oregana kept coping with the impact, and just slammed into it with her shield fully opened. In the wall, it seems that the wall covered with hard vesicles is just a fragile spider web.She rushed into the chaos, the scene in front of her eyes was changing rapidly, and countless pictures rolled in front of her.

Suddenly, Oregana realized that she was standing on the ground, and an Arbiter and several Sangheili warriors had just entered the room.They walked to the middle of the room and carefully studied the pillars in the middle. The wall next to it squirmed at this moment. Those hard vesicles turned into mud and rolled towards them. The arbiter swung his lightsaber at an alarming speed. Cut off the 'wall' approaching him, and continuously released spiritual shocks to give him a chance to breathe, but the black matter rushed out from his eyes, covering his head in an instant, pulling it to the middle pillars.

A St. Heli warrior stretched out his hand to this side while struggling, and Oregana subconsciously held him, but that hand and the whole room disappeared like vaporized.The next moment, I was already standing outside in the snow-covered satellite dust, and the Kirahani people in full protective armor were walking down from the transport ship. They prayed to the sky, and then drove their construction machinery to build Those airports and tarmacs...

Oregana only felt as if she was constantly jumping between various time points. Sometimes she saw young Jiralhani people wearing protective clothing, walking unsteadily at the gate of the barracks; sometimes she saw When the ready-to-go expedition team walked into the tunnel; sometimes it was a funeral, sometimes it was a ceremony, sometimes the Star Alliance warships passed through the air, and even the battleships of St. Helios were against the semi-fortified camp. The scene of the bombing.

This is... a record?

She looked at those images, and the huge amount of information made her not know how to react for a while.But soon, the scene in front of him changed again.She saw that she was floating in the universe, surrounded by dazzling beams of light and explosions, the Forerunner's warship like a sharp blade was advancing, and here—that is, the dark swarm was retreating, in the distance , the huge structure of Ai Qiumin's residence is clearly visible.

Oregana suddenly realized—it was that war again!

But unlike before, there is no main perspective here.I seem to be observing the outside world from a certain point suspended in the air... In other words, this is not the memory of a certain dark worm.

Could it be that there were other things mixed in the swarm?

After realizing this, she turned her head and found something not far away.

That thing looked like an amoeba with a diameter of more than 30 meters. Some parts of its body were stretched very long, and it stuck to the eye stalk of the nearest dark worm across a distance of several thousand meters.It has no color, and the translucent shell constantly reflects the light generated by the fleet's firefights. It looks strange, but if you look at it from a distance, it may be difficult to distinguish it from the light pollution on the battlefield.This thing beats its body rhythmically, like a huge pump, sucking something from its surroundings.

What the hell is this...?
