Chapter 312: The Innate ‘Zhou Zhuo’ Holy Body

The style of the alarm of the Forerunner civilization is quite different from the alarm sounds commonly used by humans.

The alarms commonly used by humans are generally high-pitched. In order to attract people's attention, the sound is also sharp and harsh, and the frequency of the sound is long or short.

But the Forerunner's alarm uses a very low tone similar to a super bass, and the frequency is also mainly long.

The effect is that everyone present immediately feels that they have been thrown into a huge bass horn. When the alarm sounded, the air around them trembled.

"Be alert!"

The puppeteer immediately gave an order when he saw that the situation was not right. The soldiers of the Foundation quickly deployed a defensive formation around the team.

Many soldiers also took off the shields and mobile shelters from the rear brackets of the exoskeleton, forming a line of defense in a short time.

Sa (Zhou) Te (Zhuo) on the control console was also caught by the puppeteer with psychic power, and then raised his hand and threw him to the center of the defense line.

"Sart Ethan. The ninth time"

After leaving this sentence, the puppeteer did not say anything else, but walked to the front of the formation to prepare for the enemy.

If it were not for the fact that this "field executive deputy" was inside the foundation and was one of the few people who knew the forerunner civilization best, and the top leaders of the foundation also emphasized the need to protect this scholar, I am afraid that the puppeteer would have killed this "monster-opening maniac" in other ruins long ago.

The thirst for knowledge is a good thing, both for individuals and for the foundation.

The puppeteer, who is a psychic, also agrees with this truth. After all, he is also a "knowledge seeker" in the field of psychic energy. When he discovered some information about psychic energy, he could not control his desire for knowledge.

But the premise is to know oneself.

And Sart Ethan is obviously not such a person.

Once entering the forerunner ruins, this middle-aged scholar will throw everything behind his mind and indulge in studying everything he found in the ruins.

The consequence of this is that when the other party asks "What does this button do?" and "What will happen if this energy circuit is activated?" ’ in a puzzled speech, activated one defense after another in the Forerunner ruins.

Yes, although they have been forgotten in the deep space of the universe for millions of years, most of the defense measures inside these Forerunner ruins can function normally.

20 seconds after the alarm sounded in the ruins, everyone present, including Amber who was hiding behind the old man, heard a certain broadcasting system in the ruins begin to issue some kind of voice prompt.

It was still the same style as the Forerunner civilization ruins, the kind of language that was intertwined with the ancient and advanced, and the puppeteer immediately turned around and looked at Sart Ethan in the middle of the team.

He is one of the few scholars in the entire Truth Seeking Foundation who can understand part of the Forerunner civilization language.

"Warning. There are intruders. The highest level?"

"Evacuate. Go to which area."

While he was translating intermittently, Amber, who was hiding behind, immediately understood the content of the voice prompt as if she was listening to her mother tongue.

After being ‘bound’ by the large mining and refining core of the Forerunners, Amber found that she had inexplicably mastered the language and writing of the Forerunner civilization.

And her proficiency was directly maxed out.

“Warning! External intruders found on the 0th floor of the base area. The highest level of annihilation.”

“All non-combatants quickly evacuate the base area, and combatants go to the designated area according to the procedures.”

“Currently, the combatants have completed the assembly. 0, and the alternative plan is activated.”

“The 0th floor of the base area is being closed, and the ‘annihilator’ is being released!”

As the last sentence of the voice broadcast was finished, a sound of some kind of mechanical operation came from the depths of the ‘0th floor of the base area’ where Amber and the others were, as if a door had been opened.

Then, a series of heavy footsteps came from far to near.

After hearing the mention of the ‘annihilator’ in the voice broadcast, Amber immediately prepared for battle.

Because this thing is basically the standard "elite monster" in all the forerunner ruins, and players in almost all the ruins copies must kill these elite monsters before they can continue to advance.

According to some analysis on the forum, the forerunner ruins should normally be responsible for the defense of the forerunner ruins by special "combatants", but for some unknown reason, the entire civilization disappeared overnight, and these forerunner ruins became empty.

In this case, the forerunner ruins that cannot summon combatants will activate the "backup plan" and release this kind of "annihilator" that is usually in a forced dormant state.

Soon, the huge figures of the five annihilators appeared in the dim dark red light in the distance.

"Buzz!"

Before they could get close, ten dark red beams swept over from a distance.

Except for the central area of ​​the formation protected by the puppet master holding up the psychic shield, most of the soldiers on both wings of the Foundation team were directly turned into a pile of ashes under the sweep of these dark red beams.

The annihilators soon discovered the psychic shield rising in the middle, and ten beams of light immediately focused on it, which put the puppeteer under great pressure.

However, the situation that Amber expected, where the opponent's psychic shield was penetrated, did not happen. She only saw a burst of blue light flashing on the nerve cord behind the puppeteer, and then the whole person floated in the air. The psychic shield in front of him not only covered a larger area but also became brighter.

But as the puppeteer's anger exploded, the foundation soldiers around him fell one after another, and the 'straight' eyepieces on their heads also lost their luster.

"Huh?"

Amber, who noticed this, immediately switched to psychic vision, and then saw the heads of these fallen foundation soldiers, and weak psychic energy was pulled by an invisible force into the nerve cord behind the puppeteer's brain.

And this nerve cord made of unknown metal and some biological materials, like an 'external power source', constantly provides additional psychic energy for the puppeteer.

"So the 'Star Absorbing Technique' was put into use by the Foundation so soon? I thought it would be developed later."

Amber looked at the familiar skill in front of her in surprise, which she had seen on the Boss of the Quest for Truth Foundation.

This skill, which is jokingly called 'Star Absorbing Technique' by players, is a kind of psychic 'extraction' technology of the Quest for Truth Foundation, whose specific name is unknown.

It is said that the technical prototype of this thing was produced in a copy of the Forerunner Ruins, and it is a psychic amplification technology that strengthens itself through external abilities.

The transformation surgery that the Foundation soldiers received not only made them lose their independent consciousness and completely obey the orders of Foundation psychics like the "Puppet Master", but also the devices on their heads usually stored the psychic energy "extracted" from their bodies.

As mentioned earlier, everyone in this world actually has this mysterious energy.

It's just that the psychic energy in ordinary people is too little, and it has not reached the level of affecting the material world, so it will not affect themselves or others.

And this device of the Foundation perfectly solves the problem of the physical and psychic energy of these ordinary people being wasted.

But the price is that once they are "absorbed" by the absorbing party, these "mobile storage psychic energy containers" will die on the spot.

The enhanced psychic shield directly blocked this round of concentrated fire from the annihilators. When these annihilators stopped shooting and the irradiation devices on their bodies entered cooling,

The puppet master immediately turned from defense to offense, and the largest psychic impact that Amber had seen since she came to this world was released by the puppet master in front of him.

This ‘power-enhanced’ psychic impact also successfully knocked over the annihilator in the front. Although the other annihilators relied on their own weight to stabilize their bodies, their charge was also blocked.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the puppeteer flashed and took the initiative to attack forward, and his emotionless voice also sounded.

“Foundation soldiers, attack.”
