Chapter 313: The Pioneer May Be Alive

Under the order of the puppet master, the surviving Foundation soldiers launched an attack forward without hesitation.

Although many of them were wiped out by the lasers of the annihilators and many of them were just opened by the puppet master, these Foundation soldiers who had no independent consciousness and were basically equivalent to "puppets" did not know what fear and fear were.

From another perspective, they can even be said to be a perfect soldier. No matter what the current situation is, they will resolutely execute orders, and their morale will not be affected in any way.

At present, these Foundation soldiers are divided into two parts according to standard tactics and spread to both sides, and began to look for favorable positions in the ruins.

It was at this time that Amber discovered that the density of heavy firepower carried by these Foundation soldiers was far higher than that of ordinary troops.

Shoulder-mounted chain guns, portable electromagnetic guns, and individual cruise missile launch chambers, these platoon-level heavy support firepower, belong to squad firearms in the Foundation's battle sequence.

Amber counted out 12 portable electromagnetic guns, 20 30mm chain guns, and individual anti-vehicle missile launchers from the remaining 120 Foundation soldiers. There were also nearly 40 individual cruise missile launchers and 10 infantry-level charged particle gun two-man operation teams.

"What is this firepower phobia?"

Amber always thought that he was also a patient with firepower phobia, but now it seems that the people of the Truth Seeking Foundation are more seriously ill.

However, he also understood why the Foundation soldiers were armed like this.

Because their combat environment is completely different from the traditional battlefield, and the enemies they face are all kinds of strange autonomous machines and dangerous creatures left by the Forerunner civilization.

When you can't figure out the enemy's details, the best way to deal with it is to use heavy firepower to completely tear the opponent apart.

This is also the way humans in this world deal with Forerunner creations in most cases.

Soon, the battle area ahead became lively.

While the puppeteers flexibly shuttled across the battlefield, continuously releasing psychic shocks and "mini" psychic lightning, tearing off the outer armor worn by the annihilators bit by bit, a large number of firepower teams composed of Foundation soldiers also began their attacks.

The orange-red ballistics dragged by the ultra-high-speed tungsten alloy rods weakened the pale blue kinetic shield on the surface of the annihilators.

The beams emitted by ten infantry-level charged particle cannons left scorch marks on the armor of these annihilators, and some of the parts that were continuously irradiated were almost penetrated.

In addition, chain guns, electromagnetic rifles, anti-vehicle missiles and individual cruise missiles attacked these annihilators as if they were free.

Although some turret-like devices installed on the outer armor of the annihilators swept out rays at a very high frequency to intercept the incoming attacks, and even accurately cut off some rods, the law of "a pile of ants kills an elephant" will still apply.

Under the concentrated fire of the Foundation soldiers, the front annihilator soon revealed a flaw, and the puppet master seized the opportunity to blast a psychic shock directly at the weak point.

The huge annihilator fell to the ground like a hill, causing the ground to shake for a while.

Its head armor was completely broken after it fell to the ground, revealing the underdeveloped salamander-like head hidden under the helmet.

At this moment, this huge head was still shaking. The annihilator without vocal organs could not make a sound by itself, and could only vent its inner rage in this way.

However, soon, this unprotected head was blown up by several high-speed piercing rods. When facing weapons with sufficient kinetic energy, these huge carbon-based creatures are still quite fragile.

But after seeing this scene, Amber still felt something was wrong. The strength of these "annihilators" seemed to be a little too low.

As the "door gods" of most of the forerunner ruins copies, the strength of this elite monster should not be underestimated.

The kinetic shields on their outer armor alone are enough to give the attacking team a hard time. They are pure DPS detectors. As long as the team's firepower is a little bit below standard, they can't break this shield.

For a battle like the one in front of us where five annihilators were released in one go, if the attacking team does not have more than a dozen level 4 psychics and nearly a battalion of NPC units for fire support, don't even think about "starting the monster".

But now this psychic from the Truth Seeking Foundation, under the fire cover of friendly units, almost single-handedly killed this annihilator.

"This is unscientific. Is there a 'monkey version' of the forerunner's creation?"

As this strange idea popped up in her mind, Amber saw that the puppet master in front of her who had solved an annihilator did not stop, and led the foundation soldiers to attack the next target without stopping.

At the same time, he also heard another noise coming from behind him.

Amber looked back and saw five HCPs with the Truth Seeking Foundation logo on them, rushing to the battlefield with several main battle tanks and multi-legged chariots, accompanied by a large number of Foundation soldiers.

Obviously, the puppet master called for reinforcements from the backup force while launching the attack.

In order to prevent being wiped out in the ruins from the beginning, the Foundation's armed scientific expedition team usually sends a vanguard into the ruins to explore the situation.

After receiving the signal from the vanguard, they will wait for an opportunity to send out the backup force according to the signal content.

With these support units entering the field, the battle immediately became less difficult.

The remaining four annihilators, as Amber guessed, were similar to the ‘monkey version’, especially when facing the HCP’s heavy particle cannon salvo, they had basically no resistance.

One round of salvo plus the finishing blows from other units could successfully kill one.

Although in this process, the Foundation’s armed forces were constantly losing, especially those puppet-like Foundation soldiers, who were basically equivalent to cannon fodder.

Either their psychic energy was drained away by the puppeteer, or they were swept away by the annihilator’s beam.

Fifteen minutes later, all the annihilators fell to the ground, and the Truth Seeking Foundation, in addition to losing a large number of soldiers, also paid the price of 1 HCP, 1 main battle tank and several multi-legged chariots.

When the surviving Foundation HCP, under the order of the puppeteer, finished off the fallen annihilators, Sat Ethan also returned to the console with his men.

This time, they took out a strange-looking one that seemed to be a combination of Forerunner and human technology and connected it to an interface on the console.

Soon, the low alarm sound stopped, and at the same time, under the operation of Sutter Eason and others, the voice broadcast system sounded again.

However, the content of this broadcast was not the invasion warning information just now, but the content of comprehensive self-inspection of the facility.

The situation of each area in this pioneer facility was broadcast one by one.

To Amber's surprise, most areas in this facility had problems, either energy supply abnormalities or low-power sleep state.

Except for the "cryogenic sleep area" located in the core area of ​​this facility.

"Cryogenic sleep area, self-inspection.

Energy supply is normal, cryogenic sleep chamber 250000 should be operated, and cryogenic sleep chamber 1 is actually operated"
