Chapter 548 The two of us are killing each other indiscriminately
It must have taken the Zionists a long time to completely hollow out this huge rocky asteroid and turn it into a complex of countless corridors, lifts, and rooms.
A steel maze.
There are hundreds of intricate tunnels and hundreds of fortified doors. If Marcus Quigoby hadn't asked an officer named Conrad to lead the way, Ister would have gotten lost in them.
Ister could tell that the defense level of this base was very high, and the fine steel fortifications were impregnable and poured into thick reinforced concrete. Every time you pass through a heavy door, you must pass fingerprint, retinal and genetic tests, otherwise
The guards and automatic cannons on both sides will beat the intruders to a pulp.
There are few lights and many dark shadows. The dark tunnel is extremely long, leading to the deep darkness that is invisible to the eye.
The guards were all resocialized soldiers with the same expression, wearing the same brown uniforms, speaking in the same plain tone of voice, and using words that were courteous and cautious. They looked like well-educated aristocratic ladies instead of being able to kill a slut with one punch.
The strong man of the dog.
People always shudder when they stare at the faces of these resocialized soldiers for a long time. These people have long lost what can be vaguely called "souls", and they are all imprisoned in their bodies forever.
Frankly speaking, people who have been resocialized are more likely to be satisfied, have a good mood every day, and don't have to worry about annoying things, but no one wants to lose key parts of their brain.
"Don't worry, the so-called telepaths can guess you pretty much just by looking at you." Conrad was a tall and thin man with fierce eyebrows and a scary appearance, but he was still kind to Easter.
Conrad is a lieutenant wearing a Union Marine uniform, with corresponding military rank insignia on his clothes. These federal remnants, who are immersed in the dream of the restoration of the United States and unwilling to wake up, still use their military ranks, as if the glory of the past Federation still remains.
He carries a CK-27 rifle on his back. This semi-automatic weapon is often equipped by pirates and rebels. It has a simple, reliable structure and low cost. There is a submachine gun with the same positioning within the empire, that is
Ferromag SMG equipped by Imperial Stormtroopers.
"I've already told you what mind readers are, but don't be afraid, they won't eat you."
It seems that even the Federation, which has been criticized for its rigid and bloated system, has also kept pace with the times. In the past, the old Federation only used to capture and kidnap children with psychic potential like witch hunts. Now it has begun to use telepaths to distinguish between loyal and traitors.
Emperor Augustus Mengsk was the founder of this concept. The Tyranid Empire has a special position of psychic prosecutor, which is divided into two independent prosecutor departments, one responsible for criminal cases, and the other for internal investigation of public corruption of imperial officials.
.
Legend has it that there is another secretive department that is responsible to the emperor and is used to supervise the former federal departments. The three departments do not interfere with each other and even know little about their colleagues in other departments.
Not all people with telepathic abilities are suitable to become ghost agents. Some telepaths are not good at fighting, but have extremely rare special abilities. For example, profiling ability is a magical skill for solving cases, and fire control ability is the nemesis of the zerg.
.
The new procuratorial system created a clean and efficient government, but also put imperial officials in a state of high tension at all times, because they always thought someone was watching them behind their backs. This also caused many ridiculous things.
"Don't be nervous, unless you are really a spy sent by the empire." Conrad chuckled as he spoke, and the laughter made Easter feel cold:
"It's funny to think about it. Those who were shot still cried out that they were loyal to the Union until they died. They really refused to tell the truth until they died."
"How difficult is it to deceive a mind reader?" Easter asked.
"Unless he's sophisticated enough to deceive multiple telepaths, that's almost impossible," Conrad replied.
"What if the telepath is also an undercover agent?" Easter asked again.
"Each ghost agent's brain is implanted with a psychic suppressor. This device allows them to obey orders unconditionally. Even if you tell me, you won't be able to figure it out." Conrad seemed to be annoyed by the question and couldn't help but wave his hand.
: "You'll know when you get there, the next door is right there.
Easter stopped asking further, but he remembered that all members of the Federation's Ghost Project had been wiped out long ago, and now I'm afraid no one can figure out whether these psychic suppressors are working normally.
The active ghost agents of the Tyranid Empire are all former Federation ghosts. The empire's own ghosts are still being trained in the two ghost military academies of Korhal and Tarsonis, but usually military academies must complete four years of study before they can successfully graduate.
"Are you there?" Easter asked in his mind, wondering if the imperial ghost named Theodore Pierce was still following him.
"Mr. Pierce."
"Calm down." The ghost agent quickly replied to him.
Ghost agents are mostly like this. They are cold and talkative. Most of their views on the world are cold and pessimistic. Ghost agents in the old federal era do not have to think about the value and significance of the mission, because the memory of each mission will be absorbed. What they have to do
Just complete the task without having to bear the consequences, and there is no need to leave any burden in your heart.
All Ister can do now is to wait and see what happens. He doesn't know how many "own people" there are in this base and how far the empire's plan has progressed.
Only one thing is certain. Once the Empire learns the specific location of this base, it will not be far from destruction. However, there are a large number of hostages here, and rescue operations will inevitably use caution.
He reckoned that he was actually a very unlucky "lucky guy", as these Federalist Zionists captured the Bedford the last time they went out to hunt in the autumn wind.
A few minutes later, Conrad came to a huge stainless steel door. The door was covered with copper nails, as if there was a medieval castle behind it. The door had three safety locks, and any problem with any of them would attract bullets.
The blazing flames of guns and solid flamethrowers.
Behind the door is a dark, gloomy hall. The hall has no beauty at all. It only has iron bars for structural reinforcement and lighting lamps nailed to the four walls cut out by laser.
Two telepaths in bright white tights were sitting behind a long table, next to several lamps flashing orange light. This posture alone was enough to make those with ulterior motives uneasy.
There are many resocialized soldiers with live ammunition standing here. If the situation goes wrong, they will use force to subdue Ister.
Resocialized soldiers are qualified for guard posts and combat missions, but special jobs must be done by special personnel. Most of the people in this base are resocialized soldiers, and the remaining people are not good men and women.
There are all kinds of people among the Zionists. They accept not only patriots, but also murderers and technological lunatics. The times are difficult and there is no room for picking and choosing.
"Name." The telepath who asked Easter was female, with fair skin, beautiful face, and long hair. Easter glanced left and right, and a word popped into his mind: Leng Yan.
"Hometown."
"Istel Foss." Istel felt that the other party had also learned the tricks of the Terran Empire in checking household registration.
"Helsein, Foss Farm in Bjorn."
In the territory of the Terran Empire, no matter where you go, proof of identity is indispensable. In the Federation era, there was also a series of digital IDs that represented identities, but the empire had stricter requirements for this. To obtain proof of identity, you only need to declare it.
But if you don’t have one, you are a black household. Not only will your life be restricted, it will even be difficult to move forward.
This caused many colonists who had never been registered with the federation to apply, and the population of the empire suddenly increased a lot.
"Are there any other family members?" The other party shook his long cold golden hair.
Although she is only wearing a tights that looks as thin as fine gauze, she can knock down a group of marines wearing power armor with her bare hands. Such superhuman super soldiers usually do not appear on the front battlefield.
, but no matter where they are, they are definitely a nightmare for the enemy.
"I have a sister at home, and she lives in Augustgrad now." Ister waved his hand: "She recently got a boyfriend, and I'm very worried."
"Very good, you passed the test." The beautiful female ghost nodded.
"What?" Easter was stunned.
He was ready to be tortured, and he also needed a set of whips and irons.
"Have you passed the test, or are you waiting for your sister to buy you a drink? Honey." The ghost snapped his fingers, and Conrad behind him immediately led him out respectfully.
Right password?
Easter was stunned.
One of our own?
One of our own!
This is the secret base of the federal restorationists. They think that the location here is absolutely secret and the defense is seamless. In fact, it is full of holes. The secret base is full of terrorists, and there are pistols and federal red flags hidden under the pillows.
The Blue Star flag is a poison that breaks into pieces under the gums.
But sometimes, what is under the pillow may not be these things. It may be the four-character platform of the Pan-Talon Party drawn up by Augustus the Great himself.
People nowadays don't like others to call them Federation people. They think that the Empire has the momentum, because the Empire can stand up to alien invaders, while the Federation can only run and run, and the defense circle shrinks and shrinks.
"Soon, soon." Conrad seemed a little afraid of the ghost agents, and quickly led Easter out of the hall, and only said to him after going out:
"These two ghost agents escaped from Tarsonis, and Quigobai has no doubts about them. You have passed the test, and you are one of our own. So, I have to warn you, don't provoke these ruthless characters."
.”
"They haven't cleaned their memories for a long time, and their tempers are getting weirder and weirder." His words contained some personal grudges: "Anyway, no one has to deal with them except for work."
Easter believes that what Conrad said is not unreasonable. Human beings with telepaths will not be regarded as gods among ordinary people, but will be discriminated against, humiliated and oppressed. This prejudice still exists today.
.
"Where should we go now?" Easter couldn't figure out what Conrad was doing here and there.
"I want to show you what the inside of the base looks like," Conrad said to Easter.
This ferocious man opened one door after another. Easter tried his best to remember the order, but he was also dizzy. When the next door opened, Easter's eyes suddenly became brighter, and his eyelids couldn't help but
Jumping wildly.
He saw rectangular black iron cabinets arranged neatly one after another. There were probably thousands of iron cabinets, spread neatly on the ground with no end at a glance. Each iron cabinet was connected to a hose with green nutrient solution flowing, and then the cabinets were connected to each other.
With the operation of the huge pump in the center, new nutrient solution is continuously pumped in.
Nutrient solution is also an accessory product of hibernation cabin technology. The rich rely on it to survive, while the Federation uses it to make soldiers. The latest resocialization technology does not need to be so complicated. It only takes ten seconds to complete the brainwashing step. The rest
The best thing is to put armor on the Marines.
They secretly maintain a small resocialization factory!
This resocialization factory has a high degree of automation and is monitored in real time by surveillance cameras. There are not many guards. It can be seen that this is probably not the only resocialization facility in this base.
And this is probably the largest base of the Zionists in the core world.
"Resocialization factory. It's surprising. The empire thought it had destroyed the factory it was using, but the technology would not be lost." Conrad said: "The Camorians are also searching for this technology, but those bastards want to
Don’t even think about it.”
It is said that the Kaimorians can bring all Tyranids to the outside world in unison, while the zerg can bring humans and protoss together.
"Of course, you must not understand what resocialization is." He continued: "The empire's reports on resocialization are all deliberate slander, and they can only fabricate fake news."
Easter felt a cold air coming out of his gums. How many people have been transformed here so far?
If the Empire didn't cover up the number of ships missing on the shipping lanes, then these fanatics must have reached out to the colonial people.
Resocialized soldiers are the best soldiers. They are the best candidates to carry out suicide missions. They can be suicide bombers carrying miniature nuclear explosive devices, or they can drive a spacecraft into a space station. At a very small cost, these
The Zionists were able to wreak havoc on Imperial soil.
"I don't understand, sir, I really don't understand." Easter's confusion came from the bottom of his heart.
The UNN has always said that the remnants of the Federation are a group of terrorists and murderers, and now it seems that this is true.
"You will understand." Conrad smiled, and in Easter's eyes, this smile was inhuman. Easter stood outside the door of the resocialization factory, feeling extremely angry.
"The operation is about to begin. Now I have to give you a task to guard this resocialization factory and protect the safety of the hostages inside." Suddenly, Easter heard Pierce's voice.
The next moment, the lights in the entire hall and the corridor outside dimmed, and Conrad suddenly jumped up: "What's going on? Foss, where are you!"
Before Conrad could finish speaking, he was hit on the bridge of the nose by an invisible blow, and he fell on his back with blood on his face.
"Enemy attack! They're from the Empire! Go to the resocialization room!" A group of soldiers in power armor ran quickly from the corridor on the other side, and Istel could even see the flash of their searchlights.
Easter quickly picked up the CK-27 from Conrad's side and said: "Leave them to me to deal with."
However, before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind flew out, and the other side immediately screamed. In less than five seconds, everyone shut their mouths.
Efficient, cold and ruthless.
Never underestimate the seemingly unarmed ghost agents, because they are powerful weapons in their own right.
Theodore Pierce is a seasoned Ghost veteran who graduated from the Ghost Academy of Tarsonis in the Old Federation in 2491, when Sarah Kerrigan was still a legend among them.
"The two of us are really powerful." Ister turned on the safety of CK-27 and shrugged.
The monthly votes are doubled. Those who have forgotten their monthly votes can vote now!
