Chapter 956 Letter From the Abyss
After getting the code, the only thing left was to find a portal. Although Duanmu Huai could make it himself, it would be a waste of time. Secondly, the Dark Eldar used their unique technology, which was not compatible with portals made by human technology—just like you can't install Android software on a fruit machine.
So he could only ask Star Alliance to find it. Duanmu Huai was very sure that there must be a portal for the Dark Eldar in the Star Alliance territory, because the frequent appearance of the Dark Eldar proved this point. Although the Dark Eldar can use the webway to teleport, these cowardly cowards will never be too far away from their hometown. Since they frequently appear in the Star Alliance territory, it means that there must be a portal for the Eldar somewhere in the Star Alliance territory.
As Duanmu Huai expected, within a few days, he got information about the Eldar portal.
What Duanmu Huai didn't expect was that this information was not sent by Li Longcheng from the Star Alliance, but a message from Cerberus was delivered to the space station of Zhen Ji Ling, who forwarded it to Duanmu Huai.
The information came from the research director of a Cerberus research station, who said that they had excavated a device similar to the Eldar portal described by Duanmu Huai on a planet more than a decade ago, and had been investigating it, but unfortunately there was almost no harvest. Since this relic was not a product of the Prothean era, the research station at that time only regarded it as a relic of an ancient extinct civilization, and put it aside after no further harvest.
It was not until the research director learned of this news that he suspected that the thing that others regarded as a simple ancient building might be an Eldar portal. So he sent a message to the Inquisition, hoping that the Inquisition could send someone to investigate.
"Hmm......"
After reading the information on the personal terminal, Duanmu Huai began to think about it. Duanmu Huai was not very familiar with the organization Cerberus. He only knew that Cerberus was a terrorist organization in the Star Alliance, pursuing human supremacy. However, in fact, Duanmu Huai looked down on Cerberus. Because their methods were ultimately a set of terrorist attacks of explosions, poisonings, and assassinations, which were really not up to the standard.
The fact is that after the emergence of the Inquisition, which can easily destroy the alien mother planet, this third-rate terrorist organization disappeared without a trace. Duanmu Huai can understand this very well. After all, Cerberus is a latecomer, and the Inquisition is professional in purifying the aliens.
"What do you think, big brother?"
"It's probably true, and it's probably a trap."
Facing Zhen Jiling's question, Duanmu Huai tapped his fingers.
"I guess those dark Eldars will definitely cause trouble... Well, if there really is a portal there, then those people would have become toys of the dark Eldars long ago, and they would not have the mood to write to me."
"But aren't the dark Eldars aliens? Do they also use human communication systems?"
"The dark Eldars can use a power similar to hypnosis to make mortals completely submissive and become their puppets. They often use this method to infiltrate humans. I guess the dark Eldars must have manipulated some senior officers of the Star Alliance, so they were very surprised when they learned that we were looking for the Eldar portal, so they set a trap to see who was coming... Hey, it's the same old trick. It seems that they won't change in another thirty thousand years."
At this point, Duanmu Huai stood up.
"In that case, let's play with them."
The planet pointed to by this information is located on the west side of the Star Alliance territory. It is an icy planet with only ice and snow. Except for a research station built by Cerberus here, it can be said that there is nothing here. Duanmu Huai and his group took a transport plane through the thin atmosphere, and all they saw was the white snow and the ice that almost froze the entire planet.
The frozen hangar door slowly opened, and then closed again after the transport plane entered. During the whole process, the research station did not send a message or a command, as if they had known that these people would come.
Duanmu Huai got off the transport plane, and besides Ogis and Mary, only Lorena and Jiawei joined him. This time the opponent is the Dark Eldar. To put it bluntly, they are similar to the Dark Elves in the world of Faerun, good at sneak attacks and assassinations, and can be said to be the enemy of mages. Therefore, this time Duanmu Huai brought all the melee experts, the kind who can kill you with a small punch to your chest.
He did not bring the Night Guards with him to make a big show, because these rats are afraid of death and cherish their lives. Their fellow Eldars are still on a long journey of faith in the material world, while these fearful Dark Eldars will only hide in the webway, just like rats, which will only appear when they get something sweet, and will immediately retreat once there is a slight disturbance.
If he brings too many people, the Dark Eldars might choose to stop, which would not be fun.
"Welcome, welcome to Research Station 36."
A stereotyped researcher who looks like the kind that would appear in a movie came to Duanmu Huai tremblingly, and said with a flattering smile.
"Did you receive my message? Oh, that's nonsense, of course you received it......"
Duanmuhuai looked at the incoherent man in front of him. He could see that the other man's body was shaking slightly. It was not because of himself, but because of the pain coming from inside his body. Under the white coat, his skin and flesh had already been cut open, hanging on the outer clothes like hanging pork. The blood had almost flowed out, and the white dead flesh had even begun to rot...
Well, it seems that the craftsmanship of these rats has not deteriorated.
"Where is the portal you mentioned?"
"Here, here, please follow me..."
The man twitched, then turned around and walked forward quickly. Logically speaking, he would feel the pain of tearing flesh all over his body with every step he took, but he still did not stop.
There is only one reason - fear.
Led by the man, the group of people walked towards the depths of the research station. Along the way, they passed several research rooms, but they were all empty, not even guarded.
"Oh, he, they all went to rest."
Although Duanmuhuai didn't ask at all, the man spoke on his own.
"Because our research station currently has no output, most of the people have gone home. Yes, there are only a few guards and me left at home, but there will be no danger here. You have also seen , this is an icy planet, there is not even life outside..."
The man kept mumbling all the way. Rather than talking to Duanmu Huai and others, it would be better to say that he was talking to himself. Qianwei and Lorena looked at him doubtfully and wanted to ask something, but were interrupted by Duanmuhuai's gesture. The group just followed the man talking to himself, passing through the dead silence of the research station and reaching the deepest part.
"Just, right here..."
The man opened the airlock door, and then Duanmuhuai saw a tall circular arch standing inside.
"It, it was originally frozen, and it took us a long time to clean it up. Originally we were worried about whether it would have any impact on it, but the material of this door is very hard and strange, even if it is hit by a knife Even if you cut it with a sword or shoot it with a gun, it won't be able to damage it at all. We..."
Duanmuhuai just stood there, listening quietly to the man's story about how he excavated the relic and how he investigated it. After talking for an unknown amount of time, the man finally stopped.
"And that's all?"
"Yes, it is……………"
At this point, the man suddenly fell to his knees.
"Yuan, forgive me, forgive me ahhhhhh!!"
The next moment, the man took out a gun and stuffed it into his mouth, then pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
Before anyone else could stop him, the man's head was blown away, and his body fell to the ground, with a residual smile full of relief on his lips.
Duanmuhuai retracted his gaze and looked forward.
"Get out of here, you lowly alien bastards."
Then he whispered.
"Hey hey hey hey..."
A low laugh full of evil sounded, and then, one by one, tall and thin aliens wearing black armor walked out of the dark shadows and corners. They held venom-coated blades and strange-shaped firearms in their hands, and surrounded Duanmuhuai and his party.
Then, an alien appeared from behind the door and stared at Duanmuhuai.
"Tell me, who are you? Monkey, how do you know about the portal? Answer my question, and I might consider making your death less painful - of course, I'm just talking."
"Stupid idiot."
Duanmu Huai sneered.
"Seeing this armor, seeing this shining eagle and skull, you are actually ignorant at all? It seems that you have been hiding in the webway for so long that you have forgotten the threat of fear and death... "
"you-----!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai spit out the word "Netway", the expressions of those aliens suddenly changed slightly.
However, at this moment, Duanmuhuai looked up to the sky and roared.
"Death! You despicable alien bastards, I will peel off your skin and turn your flesh and blood into scattered mud. I will twist your head off and stuff it into your asshole. Take it out of your belly! I will break your bones, tear out your muscles, and make you feel the pain that will last forever!"
Having said this, Duanmu Huai stared at the alien hybrid in front of him and laughed ferociously.
"Perhaps you should pray to the Evil of Obsession. Maybe it will be kind enough to help you?"
"——————————!"
At this moment, the sneer expressions on the alien faces all disappeared. They looked at Duanmu Huai coldly, their eyes filled with anger and murderous intent.
"Don't think you can die soon, monkey, we will make you pay for your rudeness and stupidity!"
"This is what I want to say, alien bastards, use your corpses and blood to compensate for your sins of daring to attack humans!!!"
Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer, and the next moment, he rushed directly towards the alien bastard in front of him.
“Feel the devastation!!!!”
