Chapter 430 "Infectious Diseases" (1)
50 hours later. Star Sector , Port of the High Wall frigate.
The team's spacecraft arrived at the designated location fifteen minutes ago, and also saw the frigate parked in space not far away. So according to the operational guidelines, they contacted the frigate in advance, sent a docking request, and prepared to board the frigate to learn about the specific information inside the distant space station. Although Xu had sent them the mission content before, after all, there was a large area of signal interference in this area of the fourth star zone, so the information would be somewhat delayed. Since Xu said that this place was very dangerous, it would be safer to understand the situation on the spot before officially starting the mission. After all, the distance between the frigate and the target space station was much closer than them.
After the team's spaceship arrived here, it immediately sent a docking request, but strangely, they did not receive any response. There are two powerful armed sequences on the "High Wall" frigate. If they approach rashly, they will be immediately blasted into energy particles by them, not to mention that the spaceship the team is currently driving is a small assault spaceship, and even the secondary firepower on it cannot withstand it. So in the first five minutes, the team's spaceship did not continue to move forward, but stopped where it was. Continuously sending docking requests and their purpose. After all, the signal here is interfered, and it is possible that the message fails to send.
By the tenth minute, everyone began to realize that something was wrong. After using various communication frequencies on the spacecraft and even using each team member's personal equipment, after sending signals many times without success, Captain Xin and Engineer Xinler believed that there was probably a big problem on the frigate.
"Send emergency protocol number three. I need to do a surprise scan of the High Wall."
"It's sent out. I've set up the loop. You can start Singler."
In the Tige military sequence, there is a special rule for frigates and motherships, that is, other combat sequences cannot conduct surprise scans on them. The so-called surprise scan refers to directly using the control network to apply for the highest authority, and then directly and forcefully hack into all the systems of the ship. Surprise scans are generally used before troops prepare to board enemy ships, and in some cases they are also used in ships that have lost contact. The security level of frigates and motherships is higher than that of ordinary ships, and they generally carry powerful defensive weapons or important officials. Therefore, before conducting surprise scans on these two types of ships, a warning must be issued first, otherwise both have the power to directly launch a military counterattack.
However, something even more troublesome happened to the team. There was no response to the information sent when they started the surprise scan. After Sinler used the equipment on the ship to conduct a surprise scan, he found that everything was normal on the "High Wall" without any problems. However, there was one very strange thing. That was that the defense shield sequence of the "High Wall" frigate was turned off. In such an area where a highly dangerous incident had been confirmed, a frigate did not turn on the shield sequence, which was completely abnormal.
So now the time came, and after discussion, Xin gave the order, and they prepared to board the "High Wall" frigate to see what was happening on it.
"Tsk~~"
The team's spaceship docked at Port 11, and as the hatch opened, everyone walked out cautiously. Because this incident was no small matter, the armor they were wearing was changed to a heavy assault combat model before leaving, making them look much more sturdy overall. In addition, the height of the Tig people was not short, so these team members looked almost the same as ordinary Astartes, but there were some differences in their appearance.
But these are the other male members. The armor of Xin and Gloria is very different from theirs. Xin's armor looks similar to that of a battle sister, and Gloria, because of her own strength, dresses like a Silence, but without such exaggerated sky-high braids, but normal medium-short hair. And the weapons and equipment of the people are much more advanced than those of the Star Cans. (You can understand it as a group of space maroons, a battle sister, and a Silence sister holding Necrons weapons, but the color is not green)
As for Han Zu, the armor on this guy is a big, black and thick training armor, because this thing was originally used to train new recruits, and it can be used to operate normally when the energy of the armor is damaged or completely fails. So this thing, in addition to being extremely heavy, has no extra protective performance, and has no equipment. Of course, it can be used to block the main gun of the tank of the Earth civilization, or live ammunition attacks of a similar level, but it can only block three or four times. However, for him, wearing this big iron lump is just to cover up his current form of liquid alloy man.
Imagine if the Necrons had a brainwave one day and designed a set of Terminators for an Ogryn, something like that.
There seemed to be some problems with the working robots inside the port. A large number of robots shut down due to energy exhaustion, but their movements remained in the maintenance state before the energy was exhausted.
"It looks like they were repairing a medium-sized transport ship or a small landing ship before they were shut down, but it seems that someone drove it away."
"There seem to be a few robots working over there. I'll go retrieve the information and see if I can find out what's going on here."
"Where are the engineers at the port? Why can't I see any of them?"
Xinle, an engineer, was about to go over and retrieve the information stored on the robot, but Han Zu, who was standing behind him, directly stopped him.
"You can't go there."
"why?"
Han Zu grabbed Xinle's shoulder armor and pushed him back into the crowd relatively gently. Then he picked up a not-so-big piece of debris from the ground, which might be maintenance waste, and threw it at the robots that were still moving.
"Zizi~~!"
"Boom boom boom boom!!!!"
Just when the fragment was about to reach the robots, those robots, which had been moving slowly due to lack of energy, suddenly moved violently. The laser tools used for maintenance in their hands suddenly turned into energy weapons with never-missing accuracy, instantly turning those fragments into ashes. After that, those robots immediately turned around and started attacking the members of the team. Fortunately, they were here. If they were ordinary soldiers, most of them would have been seriously injured even if they were not completely wiped out.
When the previous fragments were attacked, the team reacted immediately and prepared for battle. When those robots just turned around, they were turned into molten iron by a round of salvos from the team.
After using the weapons of the Tig people, Gloria immediately fell in love with these easy-to-carry but powerful alien technologies. The submachine gun-like thing in her hand can actually shoot out powerful energy beams. It not only has a high shooting frequency and great power, but most importantly, it has no recoil at all. Although this energy weapon may overheat after long-term shooting, with this power, it can definitely kill a large number of things in its way before it overheats and stops. Not to mention, as long as the energy core is not destroyed, it only needs half a minute of heat dissipation before it can be used again. As long as you shoot accurately, this thing is no different from wireless ammunition.
"How did you find out..."
"Buzz~~!"
“Tsk~~~~”
Just when Hai was about to ask how Han Zu found out that something was wrong with the robots, a relatively thick energy beam shot towards the crowd. The beam appeared on the side of the crowd, and everyone was gathered in front, so it was difficult to avoid the sneak attack. Fortunately, thanks to his body size and the big iron lump on his body, Han Zu just turned his body to the side and completely blocked the energy beam. At the same time, he also saw the source of the attack. It was a robot operating a plasma machine gun that was being repaired next to it and was unloaded from a small landing ship.
The plasma beam directly penetrated Han Zu's training armor. However, the moment it touched his liquid body, the plasma beam and the energy it contained were completely absorbed by Han Zu, like a stone sinking into the sea. The armor was shattered, and the big hole in his chest clearly showed Han Zu's current liquid alloy body. So the camouflage was useless. Han Zu directly tore the armor off his body and threw the fragments over as projectiles. Although the robot's reaction speed was abnormal, it was insufficient in energy after all, and was directly smashed into slag by the fragments. Although the plasma cannon under repair did not explode, this thing has now become scrap metal.
"Interference mine."
The team members also understood that these robots inside Port 11 had become potential threats, so under the leadership of Hai, the team members took out some metal balls from their bodies and rolled them from the ground to other locations where there were robots.
These metal balls are some fast-moving, jumping spherical robots. The function of these spherical robots is to release a powerful but short-lasting special pulse, which can theoretically overload all electronic devices within the pulse range. The most important thing is that they only emit some very small pulse sounds, and because of their special material, they themselves will not be affected by interference pulses. After the work is completed, as long as the distance is enough, they will automatically return to the user. After being recovered by the automatic recovery device on the armored legs, they can be recharged. It is a tactical device that can be used continuously. Users can edit these spherical robots through the device so that they can also act as tracking mines and flash bombs. However, if they act as tracking mines, they cannot be recovered, and the power of a single one is not great. However, in the battle sequence of the Tige people, some engineers accompanying the team often carry a large number of these spherical robots to make up for their shortcomings in combat. For example, Sinler now has a large robot pool on the back of his armor, which contains hundreds of such spherical robots that have been modified by himself.
These released spherical robots quickly cleared out the robots inside Port 11. After taking them back, everyone continued with the original topic.
"How did you find out that something was wrong with those robots?"
"The energy in them is totally inconsistent with the slow speed of their movements. I just felt that something was wrong. I guess it was just a guess."
"Anyway, thank you very much, otherwise I would have turned into particle embers."
"It now appears that the frigate may have been captured. These robots must have been programmed by someone, otherwise they would not be able to attack us according to their original protocol."
"We should go look for other people, if there are still people alive up here."
At this moment, Gloria suddenly put her arm through Han Zu's abdomen. Gloria looked down at herself, feeling a little embarrassed. She originally wanted to pat Han Zu, but she forgot that Han Zu was still in the form of liquid alloy.
"what happened?"
"I just saw something passing through the entrance of that corridor, but I couldn't see clearly what it was. However, it was moving very fast."
"What is she saying?"
"She saw something at the entrance of that corridor. Maybe she's watching us. Should we go check it out?"
Ever since Han Zu stopped the obelisk from exploding and everyone was sure that he was not a hunter, their attitudes toward him and Gloria changed. Han Zu's various actions made the Tigris team believe that he was trustworthy, and the same was naturally true for Gloria beside him.
"Then let's go check it out, team, and be prepared. The welcome ceremony of the High Wall may not be very 'warm', but it is also unexpected. We need to be careful at all times."
Xin nodded to Gloria, and both looked at Han Zu.
"I'll take the lead? Okay."
"I'm sorry, but you are indeed our main fighting force now, and we don't have your strong defense."
"That doesn't matter, but you have to be careful. After all, I am liquid now. I can absorb energy, but if it is a solid bullet attack, it's best not to stand behind me, after all, it will pass through."
Han Zu "slid" out the remaining leg training armor, and began to move towards the entrance of the corridor in the shape of a liquid alloy man in a horror movie. Everyone looked at the "liquid alloy man" in front of them, who was very burly without armor, and felt a strange taste in their hearts, as if they were in a horror movie.
As for Han Zu, he actually felt very strange as well. Looking at the people around and behind him, who were wearing armor that gave him a sense of déjà vu, he always felt like he was a heretic being escorted by a suicide squad. It felt weird.
However, if possible, he would try his best to ensure the safety of these Tig people. After all, they are his own people now, and maybe he could use this relationship in the future.
In fact, there is one very strange thing, that is, Han Zu and Gloria have not thought about returning to their own planet until now. It seems that something is deliberately making them forget about this.
But for now, it doesn't matter. After all, Han Zu finds it very interesting now. Even if he is not affected, he doesn't want to go back so early.
