Chapter 591 People Who Shouldn’t Be Here
The melee in a zero-gravity environment reminded Amber of a certain difficult five-player version of the game in his previous life.
We are also in an abandoned space facility, and we are also facing enemies that are attacking from all directions, above our heads and below our feet, and it seems that we will never be able to defeat them all.
It's just that in that dungeon, there were five strong players who were not afraid of death to fight together, but now there are only two players, Amber and Saleh. The latter seems to have a higher psychic level, but his actual combat ability is not considered strong. At most it can be considered a high-level 'auxiliary'.
Therefore, amidst the never-ending siege of the Foundation's puppet soldiers, Amber and Saleh gradually fell into passivity - especially Amber had to be wary of the mysterious psyker who sneaked into the dark and would attack at no time.
A psyker with high psychic strength, rich combat experience, and the ability to use Forerunner psychic skills will not fight you head-on in a complex combat environment. Instead, he will hide in the dark and wait patiently for a fatal blow. opportunity to hit
To be honest, this is the scene Amber least wants to face. Just like when he was fighting against those 'Assassin style' players in his previous life, he would rather the mysterious psyker rush out with full firepower to 'confront the wave' with him. Imagine being on tenterhooks like this now.
Although the attacks of the Foundation's puppet soldiers were mindless, the weapons in their hands were real and powerful. When a group of death-defying units attacked with electromagnetic rifles, charged particle cannons or individual missiles, Saleh held up The psychic shield began to flicker under the crazy attacks of the puppets, like a candle in the wind, crumbling.
Amber realized that sooner or later he would be consumed by the puppets of the Foundation if this continued. Even if his psychic energy reserves after the 'medication' were sufficient, the success of the sneak attack launched by the lurking psyker would be delayed as time went by. The rate will be higher.
"Saleh, we can't go on like this anymore. We have to find a way to take back the initiative! Protect yourself!"
Amber quickly informed Saleh, and then shouted loudly. The psychic energy in his body erupted like a volcano, and he rushed towards the puppet group at an outrageous speed in a weightless environment.
His figure was like a blue lightning in the dim laboratory, shuttling through the crowd of puppets at high speed. Every move he made was filled with powerful psychic power, whether it was a fist or a palm, knocking away the approaching puppets one after another - for For psykers approaching level six, in a close-quarters encounter, their body is their strongest weapon.
After being hit by him, those puppets flew away like rag dolls and hit the metal wall heavily, making a series of loud noises.
"I understand Amber, I'll create opportunities for you!"
On the other side, Saleh, who instantly understood Amber's thoughts, closed his eyes. While two transparent psychic energy beams around him were shooting at the puppet soldiers with psychic rays, he also mobilized his more powerful psychic perception ability.
After a moment, she opened her eyes, with a strange and bright light shining in them, and she firmly locked onto the location of the 'Puppet Master'.
The 'puppet master' who was directing a steady stream of puppet soldiers to move forward, trying to drown Amber and Saleh through this 'human sea tactic', suddenly felt an alarm bell ringing in his heart.
The next second, a powerful psychic wave started from Saleh and swept towards the direction of the 'Puppet Master'.
Wherever this wave went, the space was slightly distorted, as if reality was being arbitrarily kneaded by a pair of invisible hands.
The puppets were also affected, and their movements became sluggish, as if they were stuck in a quagmire, struggling to move, and finally they were frozen in place.
Psionics can originally affect the material world. The most intuitive and simplest point is to 'retrieve objects from the air' like a magic trick.
For low-level psykers, this is indeed a 'trick', or some kind of 'life hack'.
But when the psychic energy intensity exceeds a certain threshold, this 'trick' will also undergo a qualitative change.
As it is now, in Saleh's hands it has become something like a 'hard control' technique.
The 'Puppet Master' felt Saleh's attack. He snorted and increased his psychic control over the puppets. The blue psychic energy on the artificial nerve cord behind his head also flashed more frequently.
The puppets that were not under control seemed to have been injected with new vitality. They quickly bypassed Saleh's control range and rushed towards Amber and Saleh crazily again.
At the same time, two puppets wearing power armor also rushed towards Saleh under the control of the 'puppet master'.
The large-caliber high-speed grenade launchers in their hands continued to send high-explosive grenades to Saleh and exploded in front of him. The chain sword held in the other hand also roared, just waiting for them to approach. Then completely tear the target into pieces.
"Saleh, be careful!"
Upon seeing this, Amber reminded him loudly. He wanted to turn around and come back to help Saleh, but the puppet master used another group of puppets to entangle him.
'Old Frozen Meat' Saleh naturally sensed the approaching danger, but her eyes remained firm and calm. She quickly condensed a psychic sword and shield in front of her - this was the only thing she learned after becoming a think tank deacon. It came from ancient times. The basic stance of the Imperial Sword and Shield Champions.
The one-handed sword and square shield made of psychic energy emitted a soft and tough blue light. When the power armor puppet rushed through the obstacle and approached Saleh, the chain sword collided with the sword and shield, making a harsh noise. It's like a demon's scream, terrifying.
The light of psychic energy flashed at the collision point, and Saleh was shaken by the powerful impact and flew backwards. Her feet finally supported on the wall of the institute to barely stop her retreat, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, without any intention of retreating.
"Saleh, hold on!"
Amber was killing in the group of puppets. Just as he was about to take advantage of the hard control caused by Saleh and rush to the "puppet master" to do a "capture the thief first" operation, he suddenly felt the dangerous and familiar breath.
It was the mysterious psychic who had been covering him up!
"Quick! Now, kill them!"
The "puppet master" naturally noticed the action of this "friendly army" and shouted excitedly in the communication channel, but the next second, the action of this mysterious psychic made him curse out loud.
This mysterious psychic who got a storage box from nowhere, bypassed the battle area, and after leaving the psychic disorder zone caused by the bombardment of both sides, he planned to sneak again, seemingly not ready to join this melee.
"Why the hell?!"
"The mission target is the first priority, and the recovery of the mission target must be guaranteed."
A text message appeared on the tactical visor HUD of the "Puppet Master", which made the "Puppet Master" furious. He no longer cared about the other party's much higher status than himself, and roared:
"TM, do you want me to die here so that you can escape?"
"The mission priority is above all else. The master will remember your sacrifice."
"Fuck!"
The "Puppet Master" was shocked when he saw his companions preparing to leave him.
His control became a little flustered, and the actions of those puppets became uncoordinated, as if they had lost the command of the army.
Being distracted in battle is a very dangerous thing. The extremely angry 'puppet master' obviously forgot this. When he was cursing at the mysterious psychic, Amber seized this opportunity.
After twisting the torso of a combat puppet, Amber followed Saleh's control ability to determine a 'safe passage', rushed directly at a speed that the distracted 'puppet master' had no time to react, and then suddenly released a powerful mental shock.
When the 'puppet master' noticed this sudden attack, he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was too late, so he could only bite the bullet and use his psychic shield to resist, and pray that his combat suit could hold on for a while.
However, Amber's long-brewing psychic shock was too powerful, and the 'puppet master's' shield began to break at the moment of contact, making a "crackling" sound, like broken glass.
Just as the puppeteer's shield was about to break, he suddenly took out a disposable psychic amplification syringe from his arms, and without hesitation, injected the liquid with a light blue glow into his body through the injection port on the combat uniform.
When the light blue liquid was injected into his body, a violent psychic reaction immediately occurred. The psychic strength and physical strength of the puppeteer increased greatly in a flash. He broke free from the control formed by Saleh's high-intensity psychic energy, and then turned around and launched a fierce counterattack against Amber.
He waved his hands, letting the blue psychic ropes that appeared out of thin air in the air shoot towards Amber.
These psychic ropes twisted in the air as if they were alive, like deadly venomous snakes, trying to entangle Amber.
Amber dodged flexibly, but several psychic ropes still brushed past his body, leaving burn marks on his psychic combat suit. Although the nano-repair materials built into the combat suit began to repair the damage to the combat suit at the first time, Amber also knew that the strength of his combat suit seemed to be insufficient.
"This guy is more difficult than expected."
"Amber, I'll help you!"
Seeing that Amber was in danger again, Salih ignored the fact that most of her psychic energy had been consumed, and like a mermaid in the sea, she quickly passed through various obstacles in a zero-gravity environment and arrived at Amber's side - as for why most of her psychic energy had been consumed, don't ask.
She and Amber stood back to back, and a psychic shield was re-established between the two of them to fight against the attack of the "puppet master" together.
Seeing that the senior cadre of the Truth Seeking Foundation once again commanded these puppet soldiers, Salih also released waves of psychic interference.
These interference waves spread like invisible ripples in this closed space. The interference waves caused the psychic control of the "puppet master" to deviate, and even caused some puppet soldiers to start killing each other. The sound of metal collision and the screams of the puppets intertwined, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
"No, if we continue to fight like this, we will be the only ones who will be exhausted. This guy can also replenish his psychic energy by "sacrificing" the surrounding puppets."
Amber thought of the "Star Absorbing Method" used by the "Puppet Master" when he met him last time, and spoke with lingering fear.
"Let's switch fire and attack another target. The current situation seems to be that the guy who controls the puppets is covering his evacuation, and I saw that the psychic has an extra storage box in his hand just now."
"Are you saying that they have already got what they need?" Saleh frowned in confusion, "How can it be so fast? Are they more familiar with this place than me?"
"I don't care about that. The more they want to cover the psychic and take the box away, the more we can't let them succeed. Only in this way can we return the initiative to our hands."
Under the effect of the 'mental shackles', Amber and Saleh exchanged opinions almost in milliseconds.
"You are responsible for finding their weaknesses, and I will go up and drag him into a melee." Amber said with gritted teeth.
Saleh nodded. She knew that she couldn't be passive like this anymore, so she decided to take a risk.
She concentrated all her remaining psychic energy into her eyes. The next moment, her eyes instantly turned into two dazzling psychic light sources that could penetrate all obstacles, as if two stars in the universe had descended.
Soon, through the layers of puppets and the floating debris around, Saleh quickly found the exact location of the mysterious psychic who had returned to the shadows.
"Over there, Amber! The mysterious man is in the shadow at three o'clock!"
Salih shouted loudly, and at the same time, he released his strongest psychic attack in that direction without hesitation - an extremely pure psychic beam.
This light was like a sacred blue-white light column, shooting towards the position of the mysterious psychic with a devastating force.
Where the blue-white light column passed, all obstacles and puppet soldiers were instantly pierced, and the space was slightly distorted by the burning, as if a hole was torn in reality.
The mysterious psychic who used psychic energy to cover himself obviously also sensed the approaching danger. After realizing that he could not avoid this attack, he was forced to hold up a psychic shield in front of him.
The next second, the thick blue-white beam hit him, and the psychic shield was broken in an instant. After he groaned, he was knocked back and hit the metal wall in the distance.
The wall made of unknown alloy was hit with a huge dent, and the surrounding metal structures also made a painful "crunch" sound due to the impact.
This mysterious high-level psychic felt an extremely dangerous breath coming to him before he even had time to get himself out of the dent in the wall.
Amber followed almost at the same time as Saleh's psychic beam hit the opponent, and a blue blade made of psychic energy formed on his right hand with five fingers together.
The psychic who was "embedded" in the wall only had time to raise his right hand to block in front of him, and then was cut off by the blue blade in the blink of an eye.
The combat uniform covering the psychic's arm was burned by the psychic blade at the moment of the attack, and the broken limb slowly floated away under the force.
At this moment, Amber subconsciously glanced at the broken limb, and a tattoo appeared on it made him fall into a pupil earthquake.
It was the image of a star dragon that was discharging electricity.
There is only one kind of person in this world who is qualified to have this tattoo printed on him.
The Royal Silencer of the Star Dragon Empire.
