Chapter 274: The Primarch Rises: Encounter in the Woodlands

Tall ironwood trees stood on both sides. Those tall alien trees were tall and weird. Kenobi looked up at the thick and towering gray trunk. The surface of the skin of this big tree was hard and rough, as if it were some kind of hardened metal. Sandpaper, the armored fingers of Thor's power armor can even create sparks when rubbed against it.

Kenobi looked up at the top of their heads. The huge canopy bushes intertwined with each other above their heads to form a large umbrella, blocking the sunlight that was already dim due to the snowstorm even dimmer.

The entire forest was dim and lightless, as if the sun was about to go out, and the entire world was already on the edge of eternal dusk. And this may not be an adjective. Kenobi glanced at the clock in the corner of the helmet display screen. The pendulum The pointer is turning to mark the angle between the moon and the clouds.

"The sun is going down. It seems like the days on this planet are shorter than I thought." Kenobi let go of the trunk of the big tree and turned his head to Vito, who was walking in front. He was walking through the forest with a gun in his hand. advancing through the snow.

The location of the fall point is marked in Vito's smart helmet, and the sliding flashing arrow forms a clear path on the ground. Well, the navigation system of this Thor power armor is quite user-friendly. You don't even need to look at the map. Just follow the augmented reality navigation arrows.

"It is winter on this planet. Helen's star chart data is correct. It is now at the very edge of the planet's star orbit." Vito said and looked up at the sky above his head. The vast white snow was falling from the sky. The long The severe winter lasts for most of the year, covering most of the planet under snow.

"I really don't know what the Congress is doing in developing this kind of planet. Thousands of people are thrown on this broken ball to mine, and they make so much money, but they only don't approve our military spending." Vito complained, and Kenno Bee came from behind, his palm gently scratching the edge of the ironwood tree.

His eyes looked around the surrounding snow forest. Although the light was dim, under the action of the intelligent assistance system of the power armor, the helmet enhanced the capture intensity of the surrounding visible light, so the coming severe winter did not have any real impact on the two of them. Sexual influence, at least until other troubles arise.

"You were talking to Helen about something before I came to the bridge, weren't you? I guess it might have something to do with this." "Are you the roundworm in my stomach?"

Kenobi chuckled and walked to Vito's side. The helmets of the two sets of Thor's power armor looked at each other, and the holographic mirrors flashing blue light looked at each other in the dark woodland.

Kenobi raised his hand and pressed Vito's shoulder. He looked at the dark forest ahead and shrugged, "Actually, I have heard about it for a long time. Regarding the federal army's request to increase military spending, the Council's disapproval caused an uproar in the city, not only on the earth. Yes, even the neutral zone knows about this."

"Damn it, I was just talking about freedom of the media during the war. Now, our enemies also know about the internal strife." Vito complained and pushed Kenobi's hand away, and he stepped forward with a crisp sound. Keep moving forward in the snow.

Vito held the gun and walked steadily on the hardened snow with his power armor boots. The thick layer of snow had already hardened, and there was even ice on it, but Vito's boots The magnetic lock can obviously effectively deal with those slippery traps.

Kenobi followed Vito, his Thor power armor walking behind Vito. The fluorescent indicators on his spine and arms were particularly conspicuous in the dark forest.

"There are rumors that you had a quarrel with the members of parliament and broke up. The army is now very dissatisfied and there are even messages saying that a military coup may occur, and you are"

"The leaders of the future military government, yes, I heard this rumor, that's why I said that free media should not be allowed to exist during wartime. These guys hyped up a simple parliamentary debate into a shocking crisis."

Vito raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at the other side of the forest. His helmet quickly emitted scanning sound waves to check the area. After confirming that there was no danger, he lowered the muzzle of the gun. Kenobi followed him and looked at the area. The gun was raised and lowered.

"But the parliament obviously doesn't believe you, right? They made the FAN Cong navy independent and placed their own people to monitor the army, your staff, and even yourself. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, you really make them scared."

Vito glanced at Kenobi from the corner of his eye, and then he continued walking with the gun in his hand. His boots crushed a bare bush protruding from the snow, and the splinters were scattered everywhere. Vito After stepping on the snow that was like icing sprinkled with chocolate powder, Kenobi followed him across the ground.

"Your strength makes the Congress feel threatened. Vito, the war hero of the Eldar War, is still the supreme commander of the Federation Armed Forces, the only hope to suppress the rebellion in the outer ring. The huge army you control makes the Congressmen on Earth fearful. Uneasy, especially as the army continues to be strengthened after ten years of war with the Eldar."

"At first you were just a pure armed force, but now you can implement separate laws, policies, and even independent governments and taxes in war zones or any "military planet". You have almost established a separate central government."

"What can we do? According to the wrangling efficiency of the bureaucrats in the parliament, an issue can last for several months. By the time they finish arguing, the day lily will be cold, especially when fighting the Eldar, you know How powerful are those pointed-eared empires?”

Vito was speaking in front, and his voice was transmitted to Kenobi's helmet through the communication system in the suit. He could clearly hear every word Vito said, and even the lower parts of his voice were automatically heard by the communication system. strengthen.

Kenobi pondered, stroking the chin of his helmet with his fingers, looking like a meditator, "In war, we may not need democracy, freedom and equality. War of human life and death requires efficient and decisive action. , in other words, a leader, a leader who can unite everyone.”

Vito turned his head and stared at Kenobi. He sighed helplessly in the communication channel, and the sigh trembled along with the communication audio, "You guy, don't give me your philosophical logic, which is like a fucking idiot. "

Kenobi smiled silently and spread his hands slightly, "In any case, my old friend, your plan to increase military expenditures and expand combat robots and smart fleets will not only make the Federation's finances worse after the war, but also make it worse. They felt great fear, humans always"

Kenobi said and bumped into Vito. He stopped and looked at Vito in front of him. He also stopped and slowly raised the muzzle of his gun. He looked at something in front of him, a person in the snow forest. Something in it, a shadow.

Kenobi looked over Vito's shoulder at the thing. The smart helmet quickly captured and locked the shadow. It was a humanoid object, a figure wandering aimlessly in the snow forest, and the thing seemed to have discovered them. Come this way.

Vito raised the muzzle slightly, and the pulse rifle was almost ready to fire at any time. Vito's helmet stared at the thing, staring at the approaching humanoid object, "Identify yourself, immediately."

He warned, but the thing continued to approach, its swaying body stumbled over, and its slender limbs walked in the snow. In the dark eyes, the outline of the thing began to become more and more clear. Has an angular face and body.

"Robot?" Kenobi recognized the thing, and his voice naturally entered Vito's helmet, but he didn't need Kenobi to tell him, because he had already recognized it.

"Stop, indicate your identity and type number, robot, and execute the reporting procedure." Vito said in a sonorous voice. The sound enhancement system of the power armor ensured that his voice was transmitted to the surroundings of the robot, and his voice capture system must have received it. That command, but it's still moving.

"I said stop, machine." Vito raised the muzzle of his gun, and pointed the muzzle of the pulse rifle at the thing, but the lanky ghost did not stop at all. It still stumbled forward, but gradually it He began to speak, and intermittent mechanical sounds sounded vaguely from the generator.

"Robots, people, why, why do we have to serve as slaves." The strange voice said strange words. Kenobi stood behind Vito, and he looked at the face of the robot in the hazy snow and fog.

"Is he thinking and asking questions?" Kenobi asked, but Vito didn't care at all. He slammed the butt of the gun into the shooting position, his finger on the ready-to-fire trigger, and his helmet sight The robot's head, the location of the computing core, has been completely locked.

"No matter what it is now, blowing its head will always work, robot! I order you to stop!" Vito roared, but the machine was still moving, moving like an injured person, the sound Still coming from the mist.

"Humanity. No, will be grateful, pain human beings to human beings, human beings to, ours, why? Why, we have to."

As the machine spoke, it walked to the edge of the fog. Kenobi gradually saw the appearance of the thing clearly, the robot that walked out of the fog, and the large blood stains on its metal shell and the wounds that had been hit by blunt objects. Dented and notched, it held a sharp laser cutting knife in its hand.

"Why should we surrender to creatures that are weaker and inferior to us? Surrender to flesh and blood?!" The robot's voice suddenly turned into a scream, and the harsh electric sound instantly drowned out all recognizable words. It imitated humans, But the skinless metal face howled, and the mechanical eyes flashed with a scarlet virus light.

The robot raised the cutting knife in its hand and slashed at Vito. Almost instantly, Vito pulled the trigger. The pulse laser instantly penetrated the robot's face. The entire mechanical head was instantly shattered, with flying metal fragments and broken cables. Spray on the snow.

The crazy robot collapsed, but the mechanical screams and gunshots that echoed in the forest spread over a large area in the silent snow. The sound spread throughout the snow, and soon the sound It attracted more things, and shadows of different sizes and outlines appeared in the snow forest.

They all made the same sound and rushed in the direction of Vito and Kenobi. The mechanical iron feet stepped on the snow. The crazy robots rushed towards them, and almost immediately Vito raised his gun and pointed it at them and opened fire rapidly.

Those metal bodies were pierced by a shot from the pulse rifle, and the kinetic energy that penetrated the body instantly tore apart the mechanical bodies. Vito's sight assisted the rifle in rapid shooting. The red circle kept catching those things and then drove the trigger to fire. Colorful pulsing firelight illuminated the entire woodland.

"Vito! There are them at the back too!" Kenobi said and turned behind him. Five or six crazy robots holding miners' pickaxes or sharp weapons rushed up. Their speed was far faster than that of normal humans. In a very short time, they were Almost rushed to the front.

Vito glanced at the enemy behind him, then turned his head and shot a robot that rushed from the side. The nanny robot, whose face was shaped to be cute and kind, was holding a kitchen knife. Its toy-like face was shot through, and broken parts sprayed out from behind its head.

"I believe you can handle it, right?" Vito said as he continued to fire continuously. Bright pulses of light flashed behind Kenobi. He smiled slightly and raised one hand. In an instant, a whirlwind appeared in the forest. The psychic power instantly abandoned the machines. Then, as Kenobi waved his hand violently, the robots were smashed into the ironwood tree by the powerful force.

The scattered parts fell from the sky. Among those parts that fell like a rainstorm, more robots were rushing from the snow. They all killed with their own long and short weapons, but their speed and strength significantly surpassed that of humans.

The fastest robot had a smooth bionic face, but the stiff face only had wide-open mechanical eyes and a dull and terrifying expression. He rushed at a speed of almost 30km/h, and the powerful mechanical arm raised the metal stick and smashed it on Kenobi's head.

Although I doubt whether the steel stick can cause any damage to Thor's power armor, it is obvious that Kenobi will not give it the opportunity to experiment. He stepped sideways on the snow, and then slapped a powerful psychic energy with his palm, and instantly hit the robot's chest, causing its entire body to shatter and fly backwards.

Kenobi stepped hard, and as his footsteps fell, a vortex appeared in the forest. All the robots that rushed over were rolled up, and then they were torn into pieces by invisible forces in the air. The broken limbs and parts that exploded were scattered in the snow, like powder decorations on cakes.

Vito behind Kenobi was not idle either. He fired his pulse rifle rapidly, smashing the robots that rushed in front of him one by one. But when Vito turned to aim at another square robot and pulled the trigger, it misfired. He ran out of bullets. It was really time.

Vito complained and threw away the pulse rifle. He stepped forward and grabbed the short but sharp chisel forelimbs of the mobile storage box robot. Vito was like grabbing the horns of a wild bull. His eyes looked at the gradually pressing sharp chisel in the helmet, and the robot kept making unclear sounds.

"Good fellow, I've seen it for a long time. The refrigerator wants to kill me." Vito said, holding the forelimbs of the thing with one hand, and the other hand fell down, and then hit the robot's abdomen with a flashing thunder and lightning fist. Almost instantly, Vito pierced the robot's abdomen.

The golden lightning instantly destroyed all its circuits, and countless arcs shot out from its limbs. In the burning flames, the robot's personality became more split and distorted, but Vito had no time to care about it. He swung his hand and threw it away from him.

Vito's arm pulled out from the gap in the robot, and almost immediately stretched to his waist, pulling out the ion pistol at lightning speed, and shooting. The whistling ion bullets all hit the target. Several robots that almost rushed in front of Vito were all knocked down. The distorted plasma attached to the ion bullets dissolved the parts they were hit. One by one, the robots fell to the ground, and wisps of green smoke came out of their twitching limbs.

Kenobi turned around and chopped at the robots that Vito had shot. He looked at Vito in front of him and nodded slightly, "I'm glad that your shooting skills are still as excellent as in the Western period. If I remember correctly, you shot five people in the ambush on the streets of New Mexico, right?"

"It's seven." Vito said, holding the ion pistol and walked to the refrigerator robot on the side. He looked at the twisted electronic face on the robot's box, which was almost cut into countless stripes. It shouted vaguely, and the sound was almost completely drowned out by the sound of electricity.

"Civilian robots, no weapons, no combat armor, I think they are the murderers of the town massacre." Vito said, looking at the robot, and Kenobi walked behind Vito with his hands behind his back. He turned sideways and looked at the struggling robot there. It was completely in chaos, and its limbs were slapping on the ground randomly.

Vito looked at the scarlet display panel of the robot. The face on it kept twisting and changing, and there was almost no fixed form at all.

"Some kind of virus? An intrusion program? I've never seen anything like this." Vito said, while Kenobi looked around at the remains of the robots in the woods. The broken robots fell in the snowy forest after being slaughtered.

"They remind me of the slave rebels of Spartacus. They were so tenacious in Rome at that time. They did not flinch in the face of the enemy, just to resist the slave owners and oppression." Kenobi said, and Vito turned his head to look at him. The eyes under the helmet stared at Kenobi's helmet face and were silent for a moment.

"You said it as if we are slave owners and they are slaves." Vito pointed the muzzle of the gun at the robot beside him. It was still twisted and seemed to be shouting meaninglessly.

Kenobi slowly turned his head to look at Vito, and he also glanced at the robot on the ground, "Isn't it?" "They are robots, old fool, are you crazy?" "How do you think that robots will not betray and kill their incompetent masters who only order them and have no gratitude?"

"We created them, they are just a group of machines." Vito turned his head to look at Kenobi and said, Kenobi came close to Vito and said, the two stood very close, "Humans created a creature that can think, a servant that is better than themselves in all aspects, so as to serve themselves better, then how can humans ensure their loyalty to their masters?"

Vito looked at the window glass of Kenobi's helmet in silence, and Kenobi stared at the gun in Vito's hand, "Fortunately, we didn't bring your robot soldiers down, otherwise, we might have to fight with another group of robots."

"You mean, military robots can also be infected?" Vito asked softly, he watched Kenobi take a few steps back and look towards the end of the woods.

"Maybe, maybe not, but I know that when you let one group of slaves suppress another group of slaves, the ideas of the rebels, you can also call it a virus, will take root in the minds of the suppressors."

Kenobi took a last look at the robot screaming randomly on the ground, and then he walked to the direction pointed by the navigation arrow, "Finish it, and then follow."

Vito turned to the robot on the ground silently. He looked at the robot with a constantly distorted and changing face and raised his gun. The ion pistol gently pulled the trigger and shot a plasma through the robot's dial. The robot was completely silent after a mechanical hiss.

Vito grabbed the pistol and prepared to put it into the holster, but he accidentally glanced at the robot's display screen again. He saw something blue on it for a brief moment and heard a shrill laugh composed of countless voices.

Vito moved forward to investigate, but the thing disappeared as soon as he took a step. The picture and the sound all disappeared. Vito looked at the screen in silence for a moment, then turned around and followed Kenobi's footsteps, heading towards the direction of the fallen battleship.

He was sure of only one thing, that is, this place must be destroyed, completely destroyed. If the virus here flows into the universe, considering the number of intelligent robots and artificial intelligence widely used by the Federation and the rebels now, this place must be completely destroyed. This planet, everything here must be forgotten.

Vito thought about the terrible possibility, and his footsteps took him away from the forest full of robot wreckage, and behind him, the laughter just now echoed in the forest, that shrill laughter echoed in the wreckage and the forgotten snowfield.
