Chapter 592 The Secret of the Foundation
Amber never thought that she would get such a shocking news on this trip to the Forerunner Research Institute.
The Star Dragon Empire Royal Silencer appeared in the team of the Truth Seeking Foundation - and it was not an ordinary Royal Silencer.
In Amber's cognition, there was only one Royal Silencer with a level 6 psychic strength at this point in time.
That was the "number one thug" among the Star Dragon Empire Royal Silencers, the close guard of the old emperor Frederico Rosa Leon.
"No, why is this guy here? The old emperor is here too?"
A ridiculous idea flashed through Amber's mind, but the movement of her hand did not stop, and the psychic blade formed by the finger into a knife did not stop at all, stabbing towards the chest of the Royal Silencer who had already opened the middle door.
No player can resist the temptation of killing a level 6 psychic in a state of leapfrogging
Whether it is a game or reality.
Not to mention that the psychic in front of him, who had already lost one hand, was a Royal Silencer whose single combat power was firmly ranked T1 under the same psychic strength. It was even very likely that the opponent was the inner guard of the old emperor Frederico.
If it were in the game before, Amber would have opened the game's built-in recording software and uploaded the first-person video of the Royal Silencer in SOLO to the forum.
The Royal Silencer in front of Amber also had a strong fighting will. With one hand broken, he suppressed the stress response in his body and then used the remaining hand to gather a stream of psychic energy to block Amber's attack.
At the same time, the Royal Silencer's left knee also hit hard at this moment.
Although there was no special effect, it was just such a plain knee, but Amber still didn't dare to take it hard, because he knew that he was facing a fighting machine without any emotions, and it was also a pure "numerical monster" - the kind that took on anti-materials with his flesh.
Therefore, Amber did not dare to slack off at all, and decisively stopped the attack.
The Royal Silencer's powerful fighting ability is not only reflected in their psychic strength and control of psychic skills.
The bodies of these Star Dragon Empire's inner guards have been nourished by psychic energy for a long time, and the fighting skills engraved in their bones under rigorous training make them an elite fighting unit that ordinary people cannot compete with even without psychic energy.
However, his defense and retreat immediately gave the Royal Silencer on the opposite side an opportunity.
The Royal Silencer, who had already put the storage box on his back and completely freed up his right hand, immediately followed Amber after blocking the knee attack.
With the help of his own muscle groups and combat uniforms, his only remaining right hand hit Amber's vital parts like raindrops.
Amber felt a sea of 'fists' suddenly appear in front of him. Although his dynamic vision was already so fast that ordinary people could hardly imagine it, high-level psychics were beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so he could only barely distinguish the opponent's attack line and try his best to push away these fists that were enough to smash people.
However, the Royal Silencer's fierce attack was just a cover. When Amber completely turned to the defensive under the violent attack, the emperor's inner guard did not hesitate at all, punched Amber back, and then threw two plasma grenades.
He almost distanced himself from Amber with his combat uniform cloak sticking to the expanding plasma fireball, and then used psychic power to cover himself and enter stealth again.
"Oh no, this guy is going to run!"
Amber realized the moment the other party escaped into the shadow that the Royal Silencer was not looking for an opportunity to sneak attack him, but was planning to take advantage of the chaos to leave the battle.
Because the opponent obviously attached great importance to the storage box obtained from the research institute, he had been keeping the storage box firmly behind him during the battle, and moved the storage box in front of him the moment he escaped into the shadows, and used his body to protect it firmly - and this action was obviously not a preparatory action for attack.
Amber had already concluded that the opponent must have found something in this research institute, so she didn't want to let this "elite monster" go.
However, just as Amber loudly reminded Saleh and suddenly accelerated to chase the Royal Silencer, a large number of Foundation combat puppets suddenly rushed out and blocked Amber and the Royal Silencer like a tide.
"'Puppet Master'?!"
Amber's right hand suddenly pulled out a blue psychic knife light, cutting the several puppet soldiers gathered in front into two pieces, and then glanced in the direction of the 'Puppet Master', only to see that the latter had basically escaped from the influence of Saleh's 'hard control' and began to control the puppet soldiers again to attack Amber and the others.
Although he was extremely angry about the behavior of "selling out teammates" and wanted to tear off the other party's head, the "puppet master" still knew what was important.
The other party's identity was obviously not someone he could afford to offend. Even if he didn't know the other party's true identity, the "puppet master" knew that if the other party really fell here, he would never have a good ending.
Before connecting with this mysterious psychic, the "puppet master" had actually guessed through various clues that the other party should be from the Star Dragon Empire, and it was very likely related to the secret investor behind the foundation.
So in this case, no matter what the "puppet master" thought of the psychic, he had to find a way to get the other party to evacuate safely.
The Royal Silencer on the other side, who had already escaped into the shadows, naturally would not waste the opportunity created by the 'Puppet Master'. Taking advantage of the interference of the Foundation's puppet soldiers to Amber, he quickly escaped from his lock.
In addition, Saleh will also be entangled by the puppet soldiers who have come back. For a while, both of them will be unable to find this psychic master who has entered the 'stealth' state.
"Okay, okay, if I can't catch this royal silencer, can't I catch you?"
Under the successive obstructions, Amber's anger was completely beaten out. Since the royal silencer had already run away and could not be stopped for a while, she didn't have to worry about being attacked by surprise.
Immediately, a series of psychic lightning started from Amber and radiated around like countless electric snakes.
On the path of the psychic lightning, the control devices implanted in the heads of the Foundation's puppet soldiers also overloaded and emitted a series of sparks under the attack of this psychic lightning.
The 'puppet master' only had time to notice that the puppet soldiers in front of him went black for an instant, and then an angry figure appeared in front of him, a ball of brewing spiritual energy on the opponent's right hand. The impact was directed towards his face without any pause.
This mental shock was like an invisible sharp blade, piercing directly into the mind of the 'Puppet Master'. The latter only felt a sharp pain in his head, as if millions of needles were piercing his brain. The pain made him almost lose consciousness. .
The spiritual energy gathered on the nerve bundles at the back of his head also went out of control in an instant. The 'threads' that controlled a large number of battle puppets dissipated like fireworks, turning into dots of spiritual energy spots that gradually extinguished in the darkness.
"ah!!!"
The 'Puppet Master' knelt on one knee, held his head with both hands, and gasped for air. His vision became blurred, and his eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog.
Amber took the opportunity to activate telekinesis, and he gathered the surrounding metal fragments and wreckage. These metal fragments and wreckage seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and quickly gathered in the air to form a huge metal ball.
He injected spiritual energy into the metal ball, and the metal ball was instantly enveloped in spiritual energy, emitting a dazzling light.
"Take a shot from me of all things heaven!!!"
The huge metal ball hit the 'Puppet Master'. The latter wanted to dodge, but Saleh, who had already taken the time to connect to the 'Control Chain', restricted his movement with spiritual energy.
The metal ball hit him hard, making a dull noise. He let out a muffled groan, and his body was knocked to the ground. All the blood spurted from his mouth splashed on the inside of the tactical visor.
However, the 'Puppet Master' didn't have to worry about being unable to see his surroundings clearly after his visor was stained with blood, because in the next second, his tactical visor was forcefully pulled off by Amber.
At the same time, Amber, who had already grasped the nerve cord at the back of the opponent's head, did not hesitate at all. He squeezed the nerve cord with his right hand to explode, and then directed an extremely aggressive spiritual energy along the remaining The nerve cords directly entered the opponent's brain.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The 'Puppet Master' suddenly let out an inhuman scream, and his whole body completely collapsed. However, because his nerve cord was tightly trapped by Amber, he could only slap the latter's arm with his hand in vain.
The puppet soldiers of the Foundation who had gathered nearby to prepare for the 'savior' also completely lost control at the moment when their nerve cords were crushed. The control devices implanted on their heads also triggered the 'safety' at this moment.
As the head of the Foundation puppet soldier closest to the 'Puppet Master' suddenly exploded, as if a chain reaction had started, the heads of all the puppet soldiers controlled by the 'Puppet Master' in the institute also exploded one after another. .
Compared with the artistic processing methods in games or film and television works, the "brain fireworks" that appeared in front of Amber were not so beautiful and absurd.
Only blood remains.
Blood, brain tissue, body fluids, skulls and muscle fragments were smeared everywhere in the explosion. The research institute that was originally filled with the cold and mysterious style of the Forerunners suddenly turned into a flesh and blood slaughterhouse.
In the virtual space 'Valhalla', Baninger and the others, with Amber's authorization, watched the entire scene relayed by the camera of the psychic battle suit. When they saw each one blooming in this first-person perspective, 'Behind the heads of several veterans who were killed on the Robert IV - especially those who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield when they first met Amber, they only felt that the memories of their deaths began to attack them again.
“The ‘Terror Headhunter’ is back”
——
Seeing that the 'Puppet Master' had been taken down and those Foundation puppet soldiers no longer posed a threat, Amber immediately asked Saleh to try to search for the escaped Royal Silent.
However, after the latter consumed the remaining spiritual energy and scanned it carefully, he frowned and shook his head.
"This is a battle master who conceals his 'psionic characteristics' very well and leaves no traces that can be traced."
There was a rare hint of admiration in Saleh's tone. Ever since she woke up, this tone usually only appeared to Amber.
"I thought you were a special case, Amber, but now it seems that Homo sapiens two million years later are much better at using psychic powers than before."
"Such a high rating? This is not your style~"
Amber glanced at Saleh with some surprise, then controlled the 'Puppet Master' to inject some emergency medicine into him to keep him alive, while connecting to the communication channel of the 'Red Hand' strike team.
"Ramos, how is the battle outside going? I need you to intercept the ships that want to escape!"
"Boss, I was just about to report to you, but it has been shown that the fleet deployed by the Foundation near this relic has basically completed the suppression during the battle. There are still some warships left to make the final resistance, but it is only a matter of time to deal with them."
Ramos hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"But now there is bad news. Another fleet just broke away from the jump 270,000 kilometers away. The number is close to two-thirds of the main fleet. The destroyer sent out to try to approach for reconnaissance has just reported back that this fleet seems to be the Star Dragon Empire Royal Navy."
"Imperial Fleet?"
"Yes, the Imperial Fleet and the other party has entered combat speed and is heading straight for our location!"
Amber was stunned for a moment, and then thinking of the Royal Silencer who had just escaped with the storage box on his back, he suddenly realized that the mysterious force that provided self-financing to the Truth Seeking Foundation was most likely the Star Dragon Empire Royal Family.
Considering the special status of the Royal Silencer's inner guard, the actual controller behind the Truth Seeking Foundation is likely to be the old emperor Frederico.
The Royal Silencer seemed to know the situation of this institute very well, and his purpose was very clear. So Amber concluded that the other party was also aiming for the research results of "eternal life".
"Could it be that he wanted to extend the life of the old emperor? But there was no such plot in the previous game."
The sudden relationship between the Truth Seeking Foundation and the Star Dragon Empire Royal Family really surprised Amber.
And because the "Retracing History" plot line of the Star Dragon Empire was also overhauled due to "copyright issues" before it was officially launched, many plots or side quests, including the final plot ending, became very unclear, so Amber now couldn't figure out what the old emperor wanted to do after getting this "thing" in the institute.
Judging from the disappearance of the other party in the future plot, Amber estimated that the old emperor might have made some noise at this point in time, but he still failed in the end.
Thinking of this, Amber made a decision in her heart.
At present, the "Strong Luck" strike team has not arrived yet. It is obvious that the ships of the "Red Hand" strike team cannot compete with the attacking Imperial Navy.
After all, the strike team consists of conventional warships. If one of the two super flagships, "Infinity" or "Dawn", is present, Amber will try "extreme operations". But unfortunately, he does not even have the capital for "extreme operations" now, so he can only give up.
"Ramos, prepare to end the battle. We don't have many ships to evacuate us, so we won't fight the Imperial Royal Navy head-on."
After talking to Ramos, Amber turned his head and looked at Saleh who walked to his side.
"Saleh, no matter what method you use, download all the information in this research institute as quickly as possible, and then see if there is anything worth taking away in the core area. We don't have much time!"
