Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 516 - 3: Aberrant Insects
Under a mountain peak reaching six thousand meters above sea level.
Along with the heavy mechanical gate opening, the Square Cabin Flying Device that Su Ziyu infiltrated also entered a completely sealed underground base.
"Alert!"
"Host has entered the Mind Suppression Barrier!... Own Spiritual Energy will be suppressed to a certain extent!..."
After entering this underground base, the spirit of the shriveled old man on the sofa instantly recovered quite a bit. He leisurely tidied his collar before leading the two soldiers at the door outside.
"Mind Suppression Barrier?" Su Ziyu closed his eyes slightly to sense, and could vaguely touch a layer of mysterious Spiritual Protection Field.
Simultaneously.
Since arriving on this planet, the eerie whispers that had always been present by his ear also gradually disappeared.
"The function of this protection barrier is probably not to suppress Spiritual Energy, but to counter those eerie mind whispers, isn’t it?" Su Ziyu thought to himself.
Buzz.
As the gate opened, what appeared before Su Ziyu were rows of Square Cabin Flying Devices, with a squadron of soldiers in Exoskeleton Power Armor patrolling outside, currently moving unconscious slaves out one by one.
"Take them to the laboratory," the shriveled old man said arrogantly.
"Yes!" replied a dark-skinned officer, somewhat different from the other soldiers, with a similar silver-white Spiritual Amplification Device implanted at the back of his head.
Over thirty Square Cabin Flying Devices were parked in the entire hall, while a large amount of debris piled up in the corner seemed to be waste unearthed from ancient ruins.
At the exit were two automatic machine gun towers, and there seemed to be similar defensive facilities within the passage.
"Why did they build these defensive structures inside?" Su Ziyu’s expression was somewhat perplexed.
Just as Su Ziyu rose and flew out of the cabin.
A person suddenly moved among the slaves being transported outside, it was the rebel who was initially unable to move due to a gunshot wound, and he took out a strange silver-gray box from his abdomen flesh, which upon activation immediately released a powerful electromagnetic shock.
In the next second.
The Mind Suppression Barrier enveloping the entire underground base shattered instantly, and that eerie mind whisper sounded again by Su Ziyu’s ear.
"Empire scoundrels!"
"Prepare to die!" The man laughed wildly as he was subdued instantly by the soldiers, seemingly giving up resistance and no longer struggling.
Beep beep beep.
A series of urgent sounds rang out, and the imperial soldiers who had just subdued the man suddenly changed their expression, almost immediately flinging themselves to the sides.
Su Ziyu too felt a crisis and unhesitatingly activated the Spiritual Protection Field.
Boom!
A violent explosion rang out in the hall.
The entire underground base trembled slightly, and the terrifying shock wave directly flipped over those Square Cabin Flying Devices, shredding several soldiers in Exoskeleton Power Armor in the distance.
But this was only the beginning.
After the Mind Suppression Barrier shattered, Su Ziyu suddenly sensed some rustling sounds coming from the depths of the underground, quickly approaching here.
Bang!
Ratatatat.
A hard metal floor was suddenly lifted, followed by a black beetle with a diameter of over three meters drilling out from underground. It charged towards the frenzied machine gun towers, and with a collision, shattered them. Cracks appeared all over the ground, and within Su Ziyu’s sensing range, tens of thousands of Insect Race creatures were drilling out from the depths of the underground.
"Kill all humans! Rescue the insect queen!..." A peculiar Spiritual Wave was received by Su Ziyu’s ears.
It seemed to be issuing commands to these insects.
This spiritual energy was far stronger than that of other humans, with a larger scope, estimated by Su Ziyu to be at Spiritual Enhancement level LV7 and above.
As the Mind Suppression Barrier shattered, its command spread almost instantly throughout the underground base.
Ratatatat.
Boom!
The human response within the underground base was swift too; in the interconnecting passages, gun barrels of automatic machine guns immediately extended from the ceiling, wildly concentrating fire towards the ground, the terrifying bullet storm effectively sealing all the passageways, quickly piling up hundreds of alien insect corpses at the junctions of the paths.
"Insect invasion detected!"
"Level one combat alert!"
"Base guard corps please rush to defend District 3, District 6, District 11!... "
"Cadir Knight Order please proceed to the central area to protect the Count!"
Rumbling.
A large section of the roof collapsed, and in the hallway on the other side of the hall, the ground abruptly opened up into a crack over twenty meters in diameter, followed by a gigantic creature resembling a maggot drilling out. Its head split open from the center, revealing a passage amidst flesh and mucus, as alien insects resembling a breed of mantis drilled out, charging forward like a swarm of locusts, and after leaving a trail of corpses, they braved the terrifying bullet storm and breached the front defensive line.
Thud thud thud.
The sound of footsteps came from all directions, followed by continuous shooting and explosive noises.
In Su Ziyu’s view, fully armed soldiers appeared in three passages on the right side, all uniformly dressed in Exoskeleton Power Armor, holding weapons that were electromagnetic rifles with metal needles as bullets, but once fired, the power was immense enough to easily penetrate the bodies of those alien insects.
