Two new recruits who were supposed to have completed the trial and become the Trapper reserve stood on a sand dune with blank expressions on their faces, overlooking the abandoned city buried in gravel and dust.
It's not completely buried.
Through Astartes-level farsightedness, the two of them were able to discover that apart from some buildings that had been swallowed up by the yellow sand for several meters, many asphalt roads filled with abandoned vehicles were still clearly visible.
Not only that, they also found a large number of skeletons inside and outside abandoned vehicles, as well as on the roads, alleys and some corners...
It's human skeletons.
?!
Seeing this, the two recruits became a little more vigilant. They held the bolt rifles firmly in their hands, raised the "small" caliber plasma cannon, and walked steadily towards the abandoned city a few kilometers away.
"I said, Sui Yang, what's going on with us?" Sui Yue asked the brother beside him while pointing the muzzle towards the city.
"Maybe... this is the content of the new trial." Sui Yang was wary of the movements around the two of them and replied.
"New trial content?"
After hearing what his brother said, Sui Yue immediately reacted.
indeed.
The trial process that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years has suddenly undergone some changes in their current session, especially the fact that they have the authority to use explosive weapons with a caliber of .75 cal or above in advance.
In addition, they are obviously just enhanced titans and prehistoric dinosaurs, and there is no need to sign any confidentiality agreement, so all this is the empire...
It should be a special trial "customized" by their father just for them.
Moreover, my father did not want them to tell anyone about this change. What he wanted was to give them a "surprise attack" so that future recruits would not be mentally prepared.
A short moment.
The two twin brothers analyzed their father's general plan for the new recruits.
As a member of the Trappers, although he has not yet joined the legion, the various "bonuses" given by the G gland make Sui Yang and Sui Yue's political "sense" far beyond that of ordinary people of the same age, even
Some imperial officials may also be incomparable.
No longer "mortal".
Moreover, due to the special requirements set by the original body, the Trapper Legion only allows young people from the "Sui" family with Chinese surnames. To become adaptors, young people must be martial and have a perseverant temperament.
In layman's terms, it is the kind of young man who accepts death, and once he becomes an Astartes, he must be a young man who is loyal to his father.
This greatly increased the difficulty of screening the Red Queen and the White Queen, but it also made the trapped soldiers more elite than the new legions at the same time.
The most important thing is that because the trappers all have the surname Sui, they all regard themselves as their father's true "biological" descendants. When necessary, they will even take the initiative to help their father erase some negative information and things.
Generally speaking, the Trappers are not only good at charging into battles, but they have also gradually moved closer to their position as "Father's Executioners". Secretly, they have the momentum to compete with the Space Wolves.
So when Sui Yang and Sui Yue took a very short time to understand their father's thoughts and that his father was most likely "watching" their every move, they immediately decided to pass this trial perfectly.
And after the trial is over, they will remain tight-lipped and help their father successfully implement this new type of trial model.
at this time.
"Well...according to the angle of the star, plus..." Sui Yue weighed the plasma cannon connected to the "battery box (cold fusion matrix)" behind his hand and said his analysis:
"The weight of the cannon has not changed much. I think the two of us may have been transported by my father's space and brought to the earth in a certain multiverse.
It’s just that the environment no longer meets the conditions for survival. It seems that our fellow human beings on this earth have been wiped out by some kind of anomaly?”
Having said this, Sui Yue did not continue to guess whether it was artificial intelligence, an alien bastard, or a demonic spirit similar to another space.
After all, these cannot be guessed by just guessing.
"Well, let's take a look at the city first." Sui Yang also had the same view.
"good."
So next, the two brothers quickened their pace, and in just one minute, they crossed the desert and arrived at the edge of the abandoned city.
Walk in.
Sui Yue, who was holding a plasma cannon, was on guard, while Sui Yang came to the nearest pile of abandoned vehicles, observed it for a moment, and then said:
"Based on the corrosion marks on the vehicles and the current condition of the skeletons, it should have been fifty to seventy years ago when the mutation broke out in this city."
"Half or more than half a century..." Sui Yue looked around at the depressing scene around him and the dead silence except for the sound of the wind. He couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I don't know if anyone is still alive."
"Definitely." Sui Yang responded without thinking.
Moreover, in the back seat of an abandoned vehicle, he found the skeletons of a mother and child, one large and one small, hugging each other.
Seeing this scene, Sui Yang felt sour.
Coupled with his own talent in spiritual energy, by touching the bones, he could vaguely feel how desperate and painful the mother and son were when they were dying.
Then he said in a deep voice: "I believe that no matter which parallel universe we are in, as long as we can fight, our compatriots will not be able to give up easily."
"..." Sui Yue nodded wordlessly.
Next.
The two recruits began to investigate the city one by one and quickly.
Even if they are not equipped with power armor or even antique-level mechanical skeletons, and only wear simple titanium alloy armor, the two of them have already begun to possess "reinforced iron bones" and "hard skin".
According to the current situation, as long as the head and two hearts are not attacked by Gaussian spike bombs with super armor-breaking capabilities and a caliber greater than 12mm at the same time, they can "run rampant" on the home planet of a first-level civilization.
(Note: The auxiliary army usually uses an 8mm Gauss rifle, with a muzzle velocity of 10% to 12% of the speed of light. Combined with tungsten iron spike bullets, it can cause serious damage to most light armor and energy shields.)
However, if the first-level civilized military continues to carry out conventional bombings on new recruits like them, or directly drops nuclear bombs, it can still achieve its goal of killing them.
The premise is that the recruits are not equipped with any power armor.
At this moment, Sui Yang and Sui Yue, no matter whether they were new recruits or not, they were already Astartes, so they conducted investigations without fear.
Whenever they find any bastards, they will kill them with absolute confidence.
Along the way, there was still silence.
There are no animals and sparse plants. It seems that this place has been completely abandoned and forgotten by humans.
However, through several confusing old world newspapers and various signs of this abandoned city, they judged that this place should be located in the northwest of the Middle East. It was built by the oil tycoons and the royal family at a huge cost, and was called "Eternal Life".
A new concept city of "oasis".
A signboard is also engraved with the words "Recycling and renewable energy is a new starting point and a new chapter for mankind."
And accompanying the words, there are three members of a family hugging each other side by side, with smiles that don't seem to be fake, and a diagram of bright weather.
It's just that this sign has long since turned yellow and rusted due to years of exposure to wind and sun, and it doesn't look like a "new starting point" at all.
But through these, Sui Yang and Sui Yue also more intuitively judged that the language and characters used by human civilization on this earth are almost the same as those in their main universe.
It won't take long.
They almost crossed the entire city and arrived at the northernmost suburbs.
When they climbed over a towering sand dune and could see the other end of the dune, their expressions changed slightly.
Because this place looks like a cemetery.
Ship cemetery.
Countless ships that were too late to take off and were similar in appearance to Umbrella's earliest pioneer engineering ships, but only about a hundred meters in length, were parked in the outskirts of the city.
Through extraordinary visual perception, one can also see the words "Colonization - Mars" marked on these ships.
"Alas." Looking at the scene in the distance, Sui Yue sighed again: "It seems that our compatriots on this earth have suffered a devastating blow before they can fully walk towards the stars and the sea."
"..." Sui Yang nodded wordlessly, with regret in his eyes.
The technology that can carry out large-scale colonization operations in the solar system has obviously been developed, but the mother planet Earth has become what it is today.
Either the human race is extinct, or the humans who have colonized Mars or the moon are unable to return to the earth and save their compatriots because they are afraid of certain existences, which is why the decline scene they discovered is so dead.
What exactly is causing the anomaly?
This made the two of them even more curious.
They are new recruits, and they are new recruits who want to participate in the trial. They instinctively want to "crush" and "beat up" all abnormalities.
However, a full two hours have passed since they were teleported here by their father, and they have not been able to confront the anomaly.
If they had gone directly to the jungle of the prehistoric planet, they might have completed the skinning and "barbecuing" process by now.
After all, I am young and have itchy hands.
"Boom...boom..."
At this moment, there seemed to be a faint explosion coming from the end of the ship cemetery.
??!!
Hearing this movement, Sui Yang and Sui Yue suddenly became energetic, and even their eyes burst out with light.
If there is an explosion, it means there is a fight!
"Walk!"
"good!"
After completing the brief conversation, the twin brothers immediately took off and ran towards the source of the sound.
Without the power and speed increase provided by the powered armor, the two of them could still reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, or even faster.
Phew~——————!
Moreover, their running caused a cloud of dust to rise behind them.
Fortunately, Sui Yang and Sui Yue chose to slow down about two kilometers away from the sound source in order to avoid premature exposure as much as possible.
"Boom——! Boom——!"
"Bang...! Bang...!"
At this point, explosions and gunfire began to become clearly audible.
But for the two brothers, there was almost no change, because as they ran, they had distinguished themselves from the explosions and gunshots mixed in with everything else.
There was a chorus of firearms of different calibers.
There were also human shouts, pleas for help and screams.
besides…
The roar of some strange creature.
Through this, the two of them could basically deduce the location of the sound source, which should be surviving humans fighting against the anomaly that caused the earth's decline.
But they still maintained a constant speed and spent "full" four minutes, shortening the distance by two kilometers and arriving at the edge of the conflict between humans and anomalies.
This seems to be the edge of town close to the Eternal Oasis.
And there was a colony ship that should have taken off and wanted to enter low-Earth orbit, but crashed on the edge of the town for unknown reasons.
The place where the conflict broke out was from the stern of this colonial ship.
Until this time.
Sui Yang, Sui Yue slowed down their pace to normal, heightened their alertness, and first came to a low sloping building opposite the stern of the ship.
Rooftop on the sixth floor.
The view is good.
Here they finally saw their fellow human beings in action!
If the opponent has more than a hundred people, they can be temporarily divided into "soldiers" and "porters" by wearing standard clothing and holding weapons, as well as simple and messy clothing.
And all the soldiers were struggling to pull the triggers of their live ammunition firearms, covering the porters who hurriedly delivered the supplies they searched from the colonial ship to the waiting transport convoy.
not only that.
They discovered that among the weapons and equipment used by the soldiers, there were actually several fully wrapped heavy-duty mechanical skeletons.
It's not called powered armor because it's judged to be far from the standards of their human empire in terms of workmanship and energy supply.
As for the enemy that makes this group of compatriots nervous and frightened, it is a giant reptile with a snake's head, a slender torso, but its six limbs are similar to human palms, and the overall shape looks like a snake but not a snake, and looks like a dog but not a dog.
.
Moreover, when the number of these "snake dogs" is constantly rising, when defending and moving, they will retract their heads like turtles to reduce damage as much as possible.
The most important thing is that the snake dog's movement speed and attack range are very threatening, and ordinary caliber weapons have little effect on it.
Only heavy mechanical skeletons equipped with artillery-caliber machine guns and controlled by soldiers can effectively attack the snakes and dogs.
"Boom!"
At this time, another violent explosion occurred at the rear of the ship.
I saw a man and a woman rushing out of the smoke and running towards the transport team, and behind the two people, there were several snakes and dogs chasing after them.
The man is tall and mighty, with a height of over 1.9 meters and extremely strong muscles, while the woman has rare white hair and a strong back.
Seeing that this man and woman are about to be surrounded by snakes and dogs...
"嘡! 嘡! 嘡!" The unique clear and sweet sound of the bolter firearms reverberated throughout the entire area.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Along with the sound of bolter guns, there was the sound of a group of snakes and dogs chasing the man and woman, each one being blown to pieces by conventional (diamond) bolt rounds.
Some of the snakes and dogs had their bodies exploded, with flesh residue and chunks of flesh exploding outwards, and at the same time, spindle-shaped "crystal blocks" that shone with a faint blue light were exposed.
?!
However, the man and woman did not have the mind or energy to pay attention to the "crystal block" at the moment.
The man, through the sound of gunshots and the state of the snake and dog when they died, keenly determined that the source of the gunshots was the low building opposite.
The moment he turned his attention to the low building, the man happened to see Sui Yang leaping off the platform.
