Chapter 314 Containment, Control, Protection
A cryogenic hibernation box that was still in operation appeared in the Forerunner ruins. To be honest, Amber was stunned on the spot after hearing this voice broadcast.
Because if the cryogenic hibernation chamber is in normal operation, it means that the thing sleeping inside is at least not a shriveled corpse.
With the technological level of the Forerunner civilization, it is not so bad that a cryogenic hibernation chamber cannot figure out whether the creature inside is dead, and it will not waste energy to maintain a dead creature in a low temperature state.
But if this is the case, it means that there is a high probability that there is a living Forerunner in this cryogenic hibernation chamber.
Sleeping for a million years in one breath? This seems even more outrageous.
Amber desperately recalled in his mind, because in his memory, no Forerunner ruins have ever "unearthed" a living Forerunner.
Judging from the events he has witnessed in the past year, the "plot" of this world is basically the same as in the game, and the locations of various resource points, "dungeons", and ruins are also consistent.
So Amber believes that as long as his actions do not cause changes in the world line, many things can continue to apply the experience of the previous life.
For example, in this Forerunner ruins, Amber felt that no matter how much she and Atlas did, it would not affect coming here, so what was happening now should be consistent with the plot in the game.
If this is the case, then there is only one possibility left.
That is, the Truth Seeking Foundation really dug out a living Forerunner in this ruins.
But for some reason, the Foundation deleted all records of this operation, and the whereabouts of this Forerunner are unknown.
"There is something fishy here."
Thinking of this, Amber immediately decided to follow and see the situation.
A Forerunner who is suspected to be still alive and came from millions of years ago? It would be a lie to say that Amber is not curious.
In front, the support troops of the Truth Seeking Foundation completed the formation with the survivors of the original team under the command of the puppeteer.
After confirming that all the annihilators were completely "annihilated", this large group of people began to walk towards the depths of the 0th floor of the base area.
After the HCP responsible for the rear guard and some foundation soldiers also left, Amber sneaked out of the shadows.
Although the style of stealth in a set of more than 5 tons of power armor can be said to be quite strange.
However, Amber did not follow directly - he did not want to be exposed now, and it was also a good thing to have the Foundation's people in front of him in this dangerous ruins to "open the way".
After confirming that the other party would not find him, Amber came to the bodies of the annihilators lying on the ground.
These bodies, like a hill, are more shocking than they look in the game.
Of course, the smell is also stronger.
If the game simply simulates the stench to give players the "experience" of attacking these forerunner behemoths, then Amber is now experiencing it immersively.
He just turned on the helmet, and was immediately smoked and turned it off and turned on the internal circulation mode.
"My goodness, why is this play so meaningful? It's not the exquisite style of the forerunners."
What Amber thought in his heart was not pure complaints, because the creations of the forerunner civilization have always appeared in front of players in an exquisite, highly sophisticated, and self-use 99 new style.
Even the head-exploded Annihilus in front of Amber, when she encountered it in other ruins, although there was no difference in appearance, it was obviously better "maintained" than the one here.
Yes, it was maintenance. Or maintenance and preparation work.
One of the reasons why the Forerunner civilization is recognized as having strong technical strength is because these ruins that have been quietly placed for millions of years and the internal facilities are really well maintained.
It even makes people feel that the Forerunners inside are just gone.
Even biological combat weapons like the "Annihilus", which are transformed from some ancient creatures, usually sleep in a dedicated closed cabin and undergo regular maintenance to ensure that they can attack and defend against the enemy at any time.
But the Annihilus in front of Amber now obviously has nothing to do with "proper maintenance".
The external armor that looks intact but is actually severely corroded inside, as well as the atrophied muscles and shriveled skin of the "ancient giant salamander creature" as the main body.
In addition, many of the weapons installed on the external armor, including the energy fighting claws on the forelimbs, are in a state of failure.
Amber finally understood why this thing was as fragile as a piece of paper when facing the not-so-strong armed forces of the Truth Seeking Foundation.
"There is no maintenance at all. Is there a problem with the energy supply of this facility?"
Amber had this somewhat outrageous guess in his mind. After all, it was "Forerunner Technology", which was out of the scope of science and into the scope of magic in the eyes of many players.
But combined with the voice broadcast he just heard, he felt that there might be a problem with the energy supply.
When the energy supply was not enough to meet the normal operation of all areas in the facility, the control center of this facility focused all its strength to ensure that the cryo-hibernation capsule would not go wrong.
This also led to the lack of energy supply and daily maintenance in other areas, which eventually became the situation Amber saw now.
As for biological combat weapons, this thing full of slots is also one of the characteristics of the Forerunner civilization. Players even wonder if this civilization is collectively "collecting control"?
A large number of ancient creatures that human civilization has never seen, or only seen fossils, have become guards in the Forerunner ruins.
Even the symbol of the Planetary Dragon Empire, the "Starry Sky Dragon", which has not appeared in the universe for a long time, has "served" in several ruins.
It is conceivable how wonderful the expression on the face of the royal family of the Star Dragon Empire was when they heard the news.
The national totem and spiritual symbol is the "watchdog" of another civilization.
This news also quickly became a topic that was absolutely forbidden to talk about within the empire.
Whoever asks will die.
And now, after excavating a lot of Forerunner ruins, the Truth Seeking Foundation does not know whether it has been "infected". In short, it has also started to contain these ancient biological combat weapons.
And they often combine humans with ancient creatures, or conduct genetic pollution to try to create new creatures.
The Foundation's statements to the outside world will naturally not mention these inhumane and physiologically disgusting experiments, nor will they say that they try to control these biological combat weapons to fight for them.
According to the introduction on their official website, the Truth Seeking Foundation provides protection for these extremely precious "prehistoric creatures" to allow them to survive in this new era.
'Contain, control, protect.'
"Tsk, you use external propaganda slogans like this, aren't you afraid that others will come to your door and accuse you of infringement?"
