Chapter 7 Counterattack is approaching (1)
Night falls.
Above the high sky, the only satellite of Shayuan Star hangs alone in the zenith, and the dim moonlight fell down weakly, illuminating this already dead city.
A team of Gambino soldiers who were responsible for night patrols carried the rough-crafted alloy battle axe and walked slowly through the streets with heavy steps. The bloody outer armor flashed with a faint cold light under the street lights.
Due to the cut off energy supply, most of the lighting systems on the street have already failed, and only some undamaged fluorescent lighting lamps are still tenaciously lit. Therefore, the surrounding environment is far from being unable to see the fingers. Especially for Xiao Junling, it is like a fish in water when he comes out to move in such an environment.
As a former special forces elite and a strong man in the Meteorite realm, he knew too much about this alien civilization that had fought with the empire for decades. These low-level Gambino warriors generally had a weak mental state in the dark environment due to certain characteristics inherent in their genetic genomes and their vision was not strong, which more or less affected their combat capabilities. Therefore, they could give him more opportunities for success in his next actions.
He hid his body in a shop facing the street, covered his eyes with sunglasses, silently observing the guys not far away. He spent an hour figuring out the movement patterns of the patrol team, and decided to start the action.
The silver light flashed slightly on the surface of the body for a moment, perfectly covering up the dissipated body temperature and all other life characteristics. Then, slowly got up, jumped out of the window quickly, and walked carefully and quickly along the estimated safety route in advance.
After a while, he had already passed through two streets, avoided six or seven waves of patrol teams, and approached a skyscraper that was nearly a hundred floors.
This is the main goal of his operation: the branch temple set up by the Imperial Star Temple in this city. Its function is to manage affairs related to civilian abilities, including the promotion assessment of psychic abilities, the release of tasks, the provision of various resources required for superpower cultivation, customize superpower equipment and various genetic agents, and the most important purpose: select enough talented seedlings from the people, send them to the Imperial Star Temple for training, and after graduation, join the Imperial corps to fight for the imperial army to expand its territory outside the Milky Way.
The square in front of the gate is paved with hard alloy floor tiles, flat as if it is as flat as a rock, but now it has become bumpy. The gate made of tiny alloy as high as ten meters has melted into a large pool of dark red metal liquid and then solidified. The entire building is full of traces of high-energy weapons raging everywhere! It can be seen that the battle was fierce when it fell here.
Xiao Junling observed for a while and did not notice any abnormality. He immediately approached the corner of the wall and quickly walked towards the gate, his body was light and agile. Under the shield of the mental energy field, even if a Gambino patrol was passing by nearby, it would be difficult to find him without getting close to a hundred meters.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and occasionally a faint silver light flashed in his eyes, but was blocked by thick sunglasses. His whole body was like a ghost in the dark night, quietly melting into the building.
There were no lights in the deep corridor, and the occasional source of light also came from those abandoned cold light materials, but it was enough for him.
On the smooth floor, the walls were covered with dark brown blood, including humans and Gambinos, but no corpses were seen, and they were transported away. The faint smell of blood still did not dissipate. Occasionally, you would see metal door frames torn to pieces by huge external forces, and some instruments and equipment of unknown purpose were scattered on the ground at will.
The elevator was naturally useless. Xiao Junling identified the direction and quietly crossed several corridors to the secret corridor leading to the underground.
However, there were also traces of fierce fighting here. Looking at the huge knife marks, claw marks and burning marks left by high-energy lasers on the walls, he sighed in his heart, no longer having much expectations for the gains of this trip.
He walked down and reached the bottom after a while. What made him slightly relieved was that although the metal giant door at the end of the aisle had been melted open, he did not see many traces of damage near an inconspicuous intelligent weapon defense point not far away, which means that he would not return empty-handed at least.
Since I had a brief job in such a department in my previous life, I was very familiar with the architectural layout and structure of this kind of place. In addition to the main warehouse that entered through the main entrance, this secret warehouse located deep in the ground also has an extremely secretly designed auxiliary warehouse. Only the most core officials know its entrance and opening method.
Thanks to his status as a senior officer of the special forces, he is qualified to know the password for opening warehouses in such special departments, so he does not have to worry about how to enter.
The things in the main warehouse have naturally been looted by the group of barbaric aliens, but there should be a lot of equipment used in the small warehouse. If you can find the light armor set dedicated to high-level supernatural warriors, you will make a lot of money!
After careful observation for a while, he confirmed that there was no abnormality around him. He jumped lightly and approached the target.
After exploring the smooth wall for a while, selecting several specific positions, tapping them lightly and orderly at different frequencies, then a palm-sized round protrusion appeared on the wall half a foot high from the floor. Press gently and then rotated three times left and right.
An invisible mechanical buzzing sound came from the thick wall. A two-foot-square window slowly emerged, and an exquisite and small touch light screen stretched out inside. A purple crystal-like ancient disc image appeared on the light screen, which was densely filled with pictograms like heavenly books, arranged in accordance with some mysterious rule.
Xiao Junling pondered for a moment, looked at the layout on the password disk, then pondered the password program in his memory, and then started to do it, quickly clicking on dozens of specific symbol keys.
The buzzing sound became louder, the crystal password plate slowly began to shine, and a mysterious and magnificent purple halo rippled out layer by layer, and a two-meter-high portal on the wall next to it quietly opened.
He breathed a sigh of relief, looked around again, and then flashed into the secret library. The portal immediately closed, and from the outside it was still tightly clenched, and there was no trace of abnormality.
The central light brain realized that someone had entered, and the sensing light source inside automatically lit up. As he expected, the environment in the warehouse was clean and clean, the silver-white floor was spotless, and there was no sign of damage, indicating that it was indeed safe here.
The secret library is not very large. The space of hundreds of square meters is separated by thick mahogany wooden boards and is divided into more than ten and a half-independent compartments. Each compartment is more or less stacked with boxes. It should be weapons and armor for psychics, various sealed genetic agents, certain precious raw materials, advanced instruments and equipment, etc., which are all placed in different categories.
Xiao Junling opened the boxes one by one and after careful inspection, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He didn't have much equipment to use, but only found a few high-frequency particle shock knives, a few old-fashioned beam guns, high-intensity metal hard crossbows, dozens of sets of sealed combat uniforms, a bunch of battlefield first aid healing potions, and more than a dozen unsealed intelligent robots, etc., and most of them are for maintenance, reconnaissance, and medical purposes. In addition, there are a lot of supplies such as energy blocks and nutrients, as well as two sets of small outdoor camping tents.
There was also a bunch of expensive precision equipment in the corner. He looked at it and it was used to process some special equipment, which had no meaning to him now. Finally, there were a few latest models of medical cabins, which was a good thing.
It seems that most of the supplies here should have been transferred in advance, with only this little left. In addition to ensuring his survival, some plans underway have to be given up.
"It's better... move the shelter here in the future. Anyway, this place is comfortable and safer." He thought to himself and quickly made up his mind.
...
Black River Star Domain, Empire Border.
The iron-gray heavy warships were densely packed and could not see at first sight, like a terrifying torrent of steel rolling in. This is the empire’s newly formed Northwest strategic attack cluster, which concentrated almost all the mobile forces in the empire’s vast Northwest Galaxy area, and there was a transport fleet that was several times larger in size, providing logistics support for this huge army.
Near the border line, nearly a hundred large wormholes on more than ten main waterways were all enabled. Clusters of road fleets were transmitted every second, and dozens of large logistics bases had been established in nearby star fields.
It seems that the Gambino clan's bold raid has seriously stimulated the nerves of the top leaders of the empire, making the bosses of the Supreme Council truly make up their minds to concentrate their efforts to give this group of arrogant aliens a little color.
"Marson, the two legions of 'Bingfeng' and 'Fuxi' have rushed back urgently. It is expected that they will be able to meet with us in one day, but..."
In the secret conference room of the "Longyuan" war fortress, an officer wearing a brigade general's epaulette was reporting to his immediate superior in front of him.
"It's just what?" the middle-aged man in the main seat pursed his cold and hard lips and asked calmly.
"The 'Frost and Snow' Legion sent out to pick up the top-secret inspection fleet is still unreachable. Based on some of the information we have collected and combined with the analysis and deduction of the wise men in the army, we have made a preliminary conclusion..." The brigade general looked at the marshal's face and mustered up the courage to continue:
"They are already in danger!"
"..." The marshal narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold smile slowly appeared on his face:
"Hehe... OK! Very good! Eat an elite legion of established institutions all at once. These damn aliens have not seen each other for decades, and they are becoming more and more prosperous! I have brought a total of ten legions this time, so I want to see if they still have a less good appetite!"
Xue Cangyun is a famous general star in the Chinese Empire. He was one of the six marshals of the Imperial Army. He was born in poverty and joined the army after graduating from university. He started as a military soldier as a military soldier. He worked as a military soldier for decades and relied on his undisputed military achievements. Until fifteen years ago, he shone in the war between the Empire and the Buslamlon Alliance of the alien civilization for resources, successfully defeated the other side's millions of fleets, slaughtered countless alien civilians, and more than twenty rich star fields were included in the imperial territory! Therefore, he was nominated as a reserve candidate for the marshal by the Supreme Council and was unanimously approved, awarded his golden pattern coach, becoming one of the few pillars in the imperial military, making many rebellious alien civilizations scared to talk about it!
This time, the Gambino King Ting, who had been silent for many years, suddenly went crazy and attacked many overseas autonomous lords adjacent to the northwest border of the empire. In less than a month, he captured dozens of star domains! The senior officials finally realized the serious situation, so they urgently called out the famous general and appointed him as the highest commander of the Northwest Strategic Attack Cluster to take charge of the war against the Gambino clan.
"Your Excellency, this is not as simple as you think," the brigadier general frowned and said cautiously:
"How could those aliens know about such confidential news? Let's explain why the two legions were suddenly transferred away in the Ming Qiang enemy. Don't you think it's a bit strange? If they can reach the border in time and rely on the defense line to stick, the Gambinos will definitely not succeed so easily. They can buy enough time for the subsequent reinforcements of the Empire, but now..."
Xue Cangyun gently rubbed his eyebrows and said slowly:
"I think I understand a little. There must be something wrong with a key link. It seems that these guys have an extraordinary penetration in the empire... Forget it, this matter is not our control, let the guys from the Security Committee worry! This time the matter is indeed a bit too big. Hundreds of overseas autonomous lords, dozens of star domains, countless resources and populations, they actually made those damn aliens get the bargain. It is a great shame that the empire has never experienced in thousands of years!"
