Chapter 1612 Land of Corruption

The process before leaving was actually very simple. It was nothing more than pretending that all the personnel in the facility had died in the crash, and the entire facility had also been logically damaged during the crash, so as to completely conceal the identity of the "landing unit". The truth - this is an essential quality for an actor.

It is not difficult to fake the death of personnel, because Hao Ren and his friends have never shown their faces in front of the Corruptors from beginning to end, so the Corruptors have no idea who is controlling the drone swarm. All the activities on the surface of Kedar Fortress are various types of drones and autonomous mechanical units. If the Corruptors had monitored the surface of the fortress at that time, the only ones they could see were the mechanical life forms.

So just leave a bunch of empty shells of autonomous machines and drones in the command station and that's it.

Before arriving, Hao Ren asked Nolan to use the factory modules that came with the Giant Turtle Rock Platform to produce a large number of autonomous machines and initial drones without central chips. Now these things are placed in various places in the command station by him. area to create the illusion that they are the operators of the facility.

At the same time, he also erased all traces of human beings in the central control room: the ergonomic seats and handles, as well as the manual control panels, were all burned to ashes by the automatic melting program set in advance. , and these things are the only items with human traces in the entire command station.

The plan was very thorough from the beginning. The only ones active in front of the Corruption were drones, autonomous machines and guardian giants. However, the real controllers like Hao Ren were still "ghosts" who had never shown their faces in front of the Corruption Legion. Those monsters would never have imagined that such a group of infiltrators they had never seen had landed on their planetary battleship, and the clues they could find in the crashed command station would cover this up even more.

After disguising himself as a "personnel", Hao Ren ordered to turn off all energy sources at the command station and activate the countdown bombs set at various supporting points in advance. When these bombs detonate, the entire command station will undergo widespread collapse and severe disintegration. In this way, the fact that "the inertial suppressor protects the core area" will also be erased.

They finally stood on the land of Amantir.

Considering that the situation on this planet is complex and various accidents may occur, various professionals are needed to prepare for any situation that may arise. Therefore, except for the fact that Doudou was too small and was left on the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, All the people Hao Ren brought were mobilized this time. Using the huge cracks in the ground and the uplifted earth and rocks near the crash pit as cover, the group first moved away from the gradually disintegrating and collapsing wreckage of Fushima, and then found a slightly higher place nearby, overlooking the entire area.

The land of Amantir seems to be soaked in dark blood, and the entire surface is glowing with an unsettling and depressing dark red color. On this dark red land, cracked ravines and canyons can be seen everywhere, with highly toxic Steam and smoke plumes continued to gush out from these cracks, shrouding the entire area in a hazy mist.

Hao Ren looked through the thin but poisonous mist and saw many huge black silhouettes standing on the distant horizon. Those were anti-cosmic artillery cannons pointing into space or temple spiers used for battle. Those once sacred things were now no longer visible. It has been transformed by the power of Madness, and the chaotic energy filled within it has just destroyed hundreds of thousands of drones and a large number of Guardian warships. Even at this moment, a few of those black silhouettes are still emitting light. The light is bright, and from time to time there are light groups flashing past at their tips - those are the drone legions and Guardian warships that are still chasing the retreat in space.

In the other direction, the terrain is obviously sunken, and a bright red light rises from the end of the horizon, as if a sun is about to rise from there, and there are countless small black spots that look like mosquitoes here. The red light flying in the background is the location of the "equatorial rift" that nearly cuts off the entire planet as seen from space, and those small black spots that look like mosquitoes are actually An army of corrupted giants and biochemical monsters.

The surface of Amantir is not barren. In fact, there is even an extremely lush "ecosystem" here, but all life has been distorted by the crazy power into a ferocious and terrifying posture. On the dark red ground, huge plants that grow tangledly protrude from the surface like swollen limbs, trembling and squirming in the poisonous wind. There are also many strange mushroom-shaped things growing between the rocks and gravel. Their huge umbrellas can almost cover a house - Amantir once had a surface ecology of lush green mountains and water flowers like the other two planetary fortresses, but after the power of the Crazy Lord fully spread, everyone The surviving plants have all turned into this twisted and weird look.

But these giant plants are not useless, at least... they can serve as cover.

"How disgusting..." Lily covered her nose and looked at a nearby squirming ribbon plant. It had wide leaves and thick stems, but the leaves were covered with bulges that looked like blood vessels, and the entire plant looked like an animal. Wriggling around on the ground, this sanity-reducing thing made the Husky girl's hair stand on end. Even though she was wearing a life-support collar, Lily still covered her nose as if she smelled a disgusting smell, while still complaining, “I feel like I won’t be able to write novels after I go back around this planet...”

"When did you write about Xiao Qing Xin?" Vivian was also quite resistant to the environment on the surface of Amantir, but she couldn't be at a disadvantage in front of the Husky spirit, and immediately began to ridicule, "Don't think I don't know, you have nothing else to do now. To write a review on a dog food trial is to write about two men hugging each other and chewing together. This will make the whole world clean!"

Lily glared: "Who said I only write these! I also wrote reviews of Max Factor and the martial arts of the Republic of China!"

Vivian folded her arms and sighed: "Can we forget about the things around 1930?"

Hao Ren glanced at the pair of enemies helplessly, then looked up at the black shadow in the distance: "According to the information Salaman gave us, the control center of Amantir is over there, and it is right next to the Equatorial Rift Valley. , there are a large number of Corruptors stationed nearby, and the Amantir crystal is stored underground there."

Lily scratched her hair: "There are so many people stationed there? How are we going to get in?"

Nangong Sanba looked at her dumbfounded: "...Didn't you listen during the previous meeting?"

Lily's face was full of innocence: "There's nothing I can do if I fall asleep in the second half."

Hao Ren sighed: "There are several underground passages - they are actually ventilation pipes of the facility. With the size of the guardian giant, these ventilation pipes are not considered entrances and exits at all, so the corruptors' monitoring of them should be very low. We can start from Go in there.”

Lily smacked her lips: "What a huge loophole - those monsters aren't very smart."

"It's not a question of whether they are smart or not, but it's that they have been fighting against the guardian giants all the time, and their thinking has long been fixed. They can't even think of such details for a while," Hao Ren explained, "It's like you and others When playing hide-and-seek, do you think of looking for someone in a shoebox?"

Lily nodded: "Yes, Doudou is usually hidden there - but I can always find it with my good nose."

Hao Ren was stunned with his mouth open, and slapped his forehead: "...Why should I explain so much to a husky!"

While talking, the group continued to move forward.

The landing point of this operation was carefully discussed and planned. It is not very far from the destination, which is the control center where the Amantil Crystal is stored, but it is not in an area densely populated with various defense facilities of the Corruption Legion - although Smashing down a large area of ​​the Corruptor's buildings from space sounds like a great thing, but in order not to be surrounded by the monster army that swarms later, this idea can only be put aside.

There is a hilly area from the landing site to the Amantir control center. This area is open and lacks cover. If those monsters organize a wave of aerial reconnaissance teams, the chance of Hao Ren and his party being discovered will be greatly increased, but this journey will eventually end. Still a near miss.

Because the Corrupt Legion's attention has not yet shifted back from the battlefield in space.

The drones and the Guardian Legion have indeed retreated from the front line, making a gesture of "the fortress was severely damaged and the army gave up the attack", but they did not retreat completely, but established a large formation where Amantil could observe Stacking space bunkers and firepower platforms, it looks like it is preparing to fight a protracted war right under the eyes of its opponents. The Corruptors have always had the upper hand in these thousands of years of war. How has it ever happened that multiple troops were sent to build a bunker at the doorstep? However, the huge drone swarm was always patrolling on the edge of the battlefield, which prevented the commanders of the Corruptors from daring to attack rashly, so the defenders of Amantir were distracted by a lot of attention.

As a result, the defense and monitoring of the surface of the planet Amantir have been inevitably affected.

But this kind of containment should not last long. Hao Ren always remembered that Amantil is a planetary battleship, and battleships... can escape.

If the Supreme Commander of the Corruption realizes that the Guardians and the Drone Legion are already a completely invincible force, and is determined to give up on coveting the Nexus, then the entire Amentir should turn around and rush into the depths of the universe. No one can stop it.

However, in the previous discussion, Salaman believed that even if Amantil finally chooses to escape, it will not be in such a short period of time: the corrupted Tianmen has been struggling in the Holy Land for so many years, just like the mission of the guardian is to protect the hub, Destroying the hub is also the "mission" of those monsters. Unless they are forced to the last moment, those monsters will not easily choose to abandon this place.

…

The magnificent temple building stands in the distance, and various deformed monsters fly over the temple, patrolling the entire area.

Although a lot of energy is involved in the battle in space, the Corruption Legion cannot relax its defense of its headquarters. At this point, it is the limit of surface operations.

Behind a pile of strange rocks that looked like scattered blades, everyone stopped. Hao Ren lowered his body and raised his hand to point to a metal gate protruding from the ground not far away: "That is one of the entrances to the ventilation duct."

The data terminal floated into the air: "I can sense a stable airflow, so the inside should be smooth."

Hao Ren nodded: "We'll go in from here."
