The unfinished frontline base, at the end of the north side.
This is the corner of the "T" shape.
The space is spacious enough.
The sewage flowing from other areas, passing through, and then pouring towards the fractured channel, did not hinder the Krieg and Wrecker reserves who concentrated their main forces here.
The combat battalion deployed 300 Kriegs at this "T" corner, and the Kriegs also demonstrated their impressive construction capabilities, erecting numerous simple defenses and heavy firepower at fixed points.
The three reserve teams also stationed here also assisted in completing the set-up, and are currently silently alert to the surrounding developments with the Kriegers.
The east side is close to the edge of the fault channel.
The reserve platoon leader unfolded his ceramic armor helmet and had short dark hair. Although he was young, he had a resolute face. At this moment, he was using his far superior vision to observe the outside world.
Messer Wallen is the name of this platoon leader.
Even without the visual aid provided by the helmet, he could clearly see "people" who had lost their bodies and even their freedom of consciousness.
His extraordinary spiritual perception told him that the "people" curled up in the egg sheaths and imprisoned were fellow citizens.
So with an undisguised scowl on his face, he stared at the machine that shuttled between the tower arrays and followed the established procedures.
It didn't take long.
A group of huge machines, with numerous long mechanical tentacles at their tails and looking like "king squids", suddenly appeared in Warren's field of vision.
"Squids" suspended in the air can cause trypophobia and scan the outside world with their red-light eyes.
Just by looking at their movements and behavioral patterns, Warren knew that these "squids" were some kind of sentinels, performing patrol missions near this "pasture".
Seeing the sentry gradually approaching, Valen took off the explosive arrow attached to the outer armor of his right leg and reminded everyone: "A friend is visiting."
Said.
After putting on his helmet again, Valen had returned to his position, and he even took the initiative to squat at the forefront with his subordinates, using their huge bodies to provide additional "bunkers" for the Kriegs behind them.
Among them, several Craigs also opened equipment boxes with the words "EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse)" on them.
Moreover, in order to avoid premature exposure, the engineering team was reminded to suspend construction and reduce vibration and noise.
Waited silently for a moment.
A few red dots quickly appeared on everyone's helmet screens, indicating that the sentinels passed over the fracture a hundred meters away from left to right.
But soon, the red dot representing the sentinel did not slow down at all, and disappeared from the right side of the screen in an instant, completely disappearing.
The mission of the sentinels who act according to the established thinking is to patrol the outside world. If no abnormalities are detected, they will not deliberately pay attention to the long-abandoned sewage channels.
Of course, this also shows that the technology contained in the Sentinels cannot easily detect and capture Umbrella's "employees".
Waited for a while again.
After confirming that the sentries had left, the Kriegs remained silent and checked their firearms and equipment.
The same goes for reservists.
Although these Astartes in their early twenties were eager to fight and to obtain sufficient qualifications and military exploits to become official members of the Legion in advance, they could still distinguish what was important and what was important, so they did not take the initiative to "provoke" them.
"machine.
After learning that the threat was lifted, the engineering team once again started "working overtime" to complete the construction period.
The personnel of the Intelligence Department continue to use various instruments to cooperate with the emergency teams responsible for investigation and prepare to go deep into the sewage channels to obtain surrounding intelligence.
"Boom~...!"
Suddenly, a faint explosion sounded outside.
?!
The reservists who were the first to hear the movement immediately focused their attention on the fracture and increased their vigilance.
Next came the Kriegs with their weapons ready.
As the platoon leader, Warren, after reporting the situation, led a reserve team to the breach.
When Warren and six brothers came to the edge, he looked out and saw a spacecraft about thirty meters long, in the shape of a fusiform, with more than ten symmetrical groups of "electromagnetic circles" flashing on the hull.
However, this spaceship is struggling to escape the pursuit of a large number of sentries.
At this moment, two sentries have landed on the top of the ship, using their mechanical tentacles to emit high-energy red rays, cutting and damaging the ship, especially the electromagnetic coil that seems to power the spacecraft.
"Boom~! Boom~!" Low-intensity explosions occurred one after another on the ship's hull.
And the fire caused by the explosion was particularly obvious under the scorched sky.
But the spacecraft is not completely defenseless.
"Da da!!"
Placed on the top of the hull, there are parallel muzzle turrets that appear to be controlled by "people", spitting out dazzling flaming snakes at the two most threatening sentries.
As for “people”…
Warren and his brothers can clearly see the scene inside the fort through the small transparent observation windows on both sides of the fort.
She is a "woman" with short hair and wearing dirty and shabby clothes.
"Bang! Bang!" The large-caliber live ammunition successfully destroyed the two sentries.
At the same time, the forts placed in other positions on the hull were also spraying ammunition at the sentries at the stern.
Unfortunately, the Sentinel in flying state is extremely sensitive and extremely difficult to target.
The worst thing is that due to sudden changes and firefights, more sentries patrolling the "pasture" were attracted.
In an instant.
The "ranch" was like a beehive being stabbed. Hundreds of sentries rushed out from inside, forming a giant net and overwhelmingly attacking the spacecraft.
Now, all the turrets can hit or destroy the sentries without careful aiming, just random strafing.
But in the blink of an eye, the sentinel wave had already engulfed the spacecraft.
In the end, the spacecraft, with its entire electromagnetic coil destroyed, lost power and crashed to the surface littered with debris and ruins, leaving it to be slaughtered by machines.
When the sentries gathered and prepared to completely dismantle the spacecraft and dismember the "people" who operated the spacecraft, a sudden burst of dazzling blue light blocked the sentinels' attempts to dismantle it.
I saw this blue light centered on the spacecraft, quickly spreading in all directions, and swallowing the wave of sentinels in reverse.
Once exposed to the impact of blue light, the sentinels lost control of their bodies, their bodies stagnated, their eyes dimmed, and they fell from the air one after another.
It's like a "machine rain" fell on this area.
The blue light dissipates.
There were originally hundreds of sentinels, but all were wiped out due to the manipulation of the spacecraft.
Electromagnetic Pulse.
Warren and his brothers, who were watching from a distance, knew that the blue light was the electromagnetic pulse released by the spacecraft.
Through this, Valen and the others also learned more information, that is, the machine did not have a device to defend against electromagnetic pulses. In other words, Sentinels were low-end products, so they were not installed.
Preparing against electromagnetic pulses is a necessary measure for humans in the main universe who have entered the era of interstellar navigation. On the one hand, the space environment is harsh, and on the other hand, humans have already frequently used nuclear bombs for "mining."
Wallen and others, who witnessed the entire battle, uploaded the content captured on the helmet screen using the wired communication base station, waited for the latest instructions, and continued to observe the external situation.
Immediately afterwards.
More than a dozen "people" in tattered clothes and armed with alternative firearms climbed out of the spacecraft through the crack, supported each other and ran towards the nearest channel entrance.
And just after it stopped for a moment, sentries poured out of the pasture one after another, trying to chase "people".
Faced with this situation.
"Made!!"
A muscular man with a beard, wearing a sleeveless vest and a slot device on the back of his head yelled with a Russian accent:
"For Eden!! For humanity! Fight with these bastards!!"
At the same time as he yelled, the strong man pointed his gun at a sentry and pulled the trigger.
"Pooh!!"
A violent electric current shoots out from the muzzle of the gun, directly paralyzing the sentry who wants to dive and attack.
With a strong man taking the lead, others no longer care about escaping, but raise their high-power "electric shock" firearms and prepare to fight.
The edge of the fracture in the distance.
For Eden?
For humanity?
Under the helmets, Valen and the others showed some differences in their faces, because they could understand the strong man's speech, and most importantly, the other party actually called himself a human.
At this moment, a direct order from the Wrecker Corps was also displayed on the upper right side of their screen.
The content is "Rescue targets being hunted by machines, so as to obtain more earth intelligence about parallel universes."
With the approval from their superiors, Warren and the others finally no longer have to sit idly by.
And the Earth in the parallel universe?
This is not within the scope of consideration of the reserve forces. They only care about how to complete the mission and rescue the target as much as possible...
After all, the group of "people" being hunted by machines are most likely their compatriots.
So Wallen immediately loudly shouted on the communication: "Team 1 and 2 are ready to fight. The remaining teams will continue to be on guard and let those machines have a taste of explosive bombs!"
"Yes!" All the brothers responded loudly.
Finished.
Warren and the six brothers beside him sprinted quickly and jumped straight out of the breach. Then, another team also left the position, repeated the same action, and disappeared into this channel.
On the other hand, looking at the strong man's side...
"Boo! Boom!" The stun gun sounded loudly.
The strong man and others are struggling to hold on. Even if they can still hold on now, they all know the final result, which is death.
Immediately, the strong man turned to look to the right and shouted to the youngest crew member next to him, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old: "Mark! It's up to you to convey the information that the machine is preparing for a large-scale invasion to Eden! We will
Stay here to defend your rear and attract firepower!"
"But Captain..."
The crew member named Mark was slightly hesitant, obviously he would rather stay here and fight than escape alone.
Hearing this, the strong man captain came up and kicked him, and cursed angrily: "Get out of here! Don't let me see you!"
Mark was staggered by this kick and almost tripped, but he also saw that in the sky ahead, sentries were gathering in increasing numbers.
Looking at such a scene, Mark realized that unless a miracle happened, the probability of everyone surviving together was infinitely close to zero.
Recognize the reality.
With tears in his eyes, Mark stopped hesitating and shouted to the strong man: "Yes! Captain!"
Then he grabbed the stun gun, turned around without looking back, and continued running towards the nearest channel entrance.
But before Mark could run very far, he heard the increasingly obvious and very heavy "dong, dong!" footsteps.
Look forward.
There were actually thirteen huge wrecker reserves standing between him and the entrance, and the reserves were also running wildly, but in the opposite direction to him.
The distance between the two sides shortened rapidly.
Warren, who was at the front, had already arrived in front of Mark.
!!!
Without much thought and no time to fear, Mark instinctively stopped, stood up, raised the stun gun, pointed the muzzle at Warren, who looked like a "machine giant", and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Hey~!"
Powerful electricity spurted out from the muzzle.
"Buzz~!"
However, the energy shield automatically generated by the ceramic armor counteracted this current.
The Ceramic Armor Mark II (Mark-II) has a shield-generating device. Although its shield power cannot be compared with Mjolnir and the Terminator, it is not something that can be broken by a "small" stun gun.
Warren, who was condescending at this moment, glanced down at Mark, didn't bother to pay attention to anything, and looked up into the sky. At the same time, he also pointed his bolter at a sentry, and then...
"嘡!嘡!" was fired twice.
"Boom! Boom!" The standard explosive arrows pierced the Sentinel's machine body in sequence, and exploded violently from the inside to the outside.
at the same time.
Two tactical teams arrived one after another, surrounding Mark, the strong man and others in the center. Under the surprised and horrified eyes of these "locals", they mechanically moved their guns and fired in bursts.
The sweet sound of the blaster's gunfire, along with the sound of the sentinel's explosion, resounded throughout the area.
Although there were only 13 reserve soldiers and could not achieve the shocking scene of the regiment's volley, Valen and the others showed what it means to have perfect shots and displayed them to the best of their ability.
To ordinary people, flying sentries are difficult to locate and capture. To reserve forces, they are no different from moving targets during training.
In just half a minute, Valen and the others consumed one magazine per person. Fortunately, the results were good and the sentries in the vicinity were temporarily eliminated.
Make some free time.
Only then did Warren shift his attention to the "locals" who had never relaxed their vigilance against them from beginning to end.
In order to save time and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Warren took the initiative to unfold his helmet, revealing his human-like face. He glanced at Mark, who was still pointing the gun at him, and reminded:
"Stop pointing those toy guns at me, and if you want to live, please come with us."
After hearing Warren's words, all the "locals" looked at each other.
The main reason is that everything happened too fast, and it was originally a fatal situation, but I never thought that the "miracle" would actually come...
"Are you all stupid? Get moving!" It was the strong man who spoke first: "We must get away from the open area as soon as possible before more bastards arrive here!"
"Yes, Captain."
With the order from the strong man, the "locals" no longer hesitated and left here together with Warren and the others.
This brawny captain is not careless, but he understands the strength gap between his own side and the reservists such as Wallen.
If Valen wanted to take action, they would have no chance to struggle here, and the open surface is not the best place for negotiation.
