Chapter 345: The Middle Ages? World War I and World War II? Deformed Technology Tree "Heresy"

Inside the engine room of the Black Falcon assault craft.

"."

Thanks to the hatch portholes and the pilot's shared vision on the helmet screen, Soap is able to directly observe the surface below.

It can still be described as "purgatory".

The blood-colored mist seems to permeate here all year round.

Sunlight cannot penetrate the thick clouds well and illuminate the earth.

The helmet screen also shows that the average temperature on the surface is about "-13℃".

Observed for a moment.

Seeing that there was really nothing noteworthy below, Soap withdrew his gaze from the porthole and focused his attention mainly on his helmet screen.

At the same time, he also called up the overview map of the "One Three" Earth.

In fact, the day before he led a team through the space gate, the Engineering Department launched several orbiting drones into the low-Earth orbit of Earth "One Three".

After a day and night of comprehensive scanning and photography, the originally hazy appearance of the "One Three" Earth finally became clear.

The terrain, continents, oceans, etc. are generally consistent with the Earth in the main universe or parallel universes such as "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Doom", with almost no major changes.

Orbital drones have also photographed coastal and inland areas in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc., where there are also a large number of human gathering spots.

The scale of the city is huge, with many towns and villages, which are even brightly lit at night.

If you focus on shooting

The architectural style of human gathering points can be found, which seems to be similar to that of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the main universe.

Moreover, the use of electricity is even more skillful and extensive than at the beginning of the 20th century in the main universe.

However, as orbiting drones captured more and more clear images, Soap and the core team of the Intelligence Department were still in a state of "confusion."

From Soap's perspective, human life on Earth "One Three" is extremely "suffering."

It’s not that the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, or that there is no fairness or justice, but that humans on Earth “One Three” seem to be busy all the time.

There are no slums or rich areas. It seems that everyone is very poor.

The waste gas emitted by a large number of factories has shrouded the gathering points of mankind in smog, just like the mankind in the main universe has entered the stage of industrial revolution.

However, orbital photography shows that the overall technology of "One Three" humans is somewhat "deformed."

In terms of technological level, the "One-Three" humans are definitely much better than the early 20th century in the main universe.

At least the photos taken by orbiting drones and some of the images indicate that the ground and aerial vehicles of the "One Three" humans are almost in the mid-to-late Cold War state of the main universe.

Drones even photographed the peripheral defenses of some of the "1st and 3rd" cities, with giant cannons with a caliber of around 4000mm at least.

And to the west of the frontline base, that is, in the European area, there is a steel city wall that stretches for thousands of kilometers, isolating the frontline base from the surrounding bloody "purgatory".

In addition, the drone discovered that among the human troops patrolling near the steel city wall, there were actually many soldiers wearing full-coverage mechanical skeletons or power armor.

However, the reason why Soap believes that the overall technology of "One Three" humans is somewhat "deformed" is that he discovered that among the human troops patrolling near the steel city wall, there were a large number of soldiers carrying cold weapons.

Knight helmets, crosses, metal armor, firearms from World War I or World War II, as well as super-heavy tanks and armored vehicles, etc.

"One Three" Human beings seem to have mixed technology from the Middle Ages with World War I and World War II, so in Soap's eyes, they look nondescript and seriously deformed.

What's more, through orbiting drones, Soap also discovered that there are countless churches and statues of angels, the Virgin, and Jesus in the gathering points of the "One and Three" humans.

It is obvious that "One Three" human beings are deeply affected by "religion" in all aspects.

However, from the perspective of the Intelligence Department, the core members do not know what kind of situation the "One Three" universe is facing.

The core members uploaded the images captured by the orbiting drone to Sui Yang and also compiled the analysis reports from the Department of Biology.

When crossing the space gate yesterday, the technicians from the Biological Department who accompanied the advance team collected a large number of corpses.

After the engineering department built the temporary biological center, technicians began to analyze the corpses.

Analysis showed that most of the remains were human.

And those corpses with deformed bones

It is also similar to humans.

Maybe it was mutated before death?

It may also be a biological weapon developed through human genes by an unknown force that is at war with the "One or Three" humans.

Furthermore, the reason why the Intelligence Department dared to conclude that the "One or Three" humans were at war with some unknown force was because the location of the space gate seemed to be in a no-man's land.

The steel city wall located to the west of the frontline base and stretching for thousands of kilometers is obviously a defensive fortification used by the "One or Three" humans to prevent the invasion of unknown forces.

The southeast of the frontline base, that is, the Middle East, is the "base camp" of unknown forces.

The Ministry of Intelligence uses "unknown" to describe it because orbiting drones cannot directly photograph the surface conditions in the Middle East through thick clouds.

In addition, at this stage, the orbiting drone has not detected any outbreak of war. Therefore, the Intelligence Department is preparing to use the advance team led by Soap, investigators and a few Greek minor gods from the Heresy Trial Department to begin reconnaissance to the west.

Prepare to infiltrate and sneak into the gathering point of the "one or three" humans first to obtain more intelligence and information.

On the other hand, Sui Yang, after receiving relevant information from the core members of the Intelligence Department and the analysis report compiled by the Biology Department, was also unable to determine which parallel universe the "One-Three" Earth was related to.

There are a large number of religious buildings, a combination of medieval weapons and equipment from World War I and World War II, and a twisted technology tree.

Sui Yang can only think of a movie he watched when he was a child——

"Chronicles of Mutation".

However, although the soldiers in "Mutant Chronicles" are dressed like those from World War I and World War II, the background of the story takes place in the 28th century.

After humans found it difficult to fight against mutants, they launched an interstellar immigration plan to send surviving humans to Mars or the moon to establish permanent colonies.

But humans in the "One Three" universe don't have any satellites in low-Earth orbit.

Therefore, Sui Yang could only compile a file of what he knew about "Mutant Chronicles" and send it to the core members of the Intelligence Department so that Soap and others could have a reference.

At the same time, Sui Yang also asked the Heretic Tribunal to increase cooperation and assist the advance team led by Zao Zao.

Besides, there is also the 1st Company of the Dark Angels, which will soon be stationed at the "One-Three" frontline base.

One hundred and sixty adult Astartes, plus 20,000 elite AECS veterans, collectively transferred into the Legion Auxiliary Army, must be enough to deal with most emergencies.

Return to the present moment.

"."

After Soap browsed the overview map of the "One Three" Earth, his expression became more solemn under the helmet.

After all, the earth in this universe always gave him a sense of déjà vu as he explored "Doom".

The original advance team, including Price, Xiaoqiang, Ghost and others, only held the position of lieutenant and non-commissioned officer. They needed to cross the space gate as soon as possible to personally explore the new parallel universe.

And "Doom" is also full of corruption and depravity.

But the current "One Three" universe seems to be much more intense than the "Doom" universe.

I felt emotional for a moment.

Soap zoomed out the overview map on the helmet screen, glanced at the friendly forces logo on the abbreviated radar, and then scanned the cabin of the Black Falcon assault craft.

There were only six advance team members wearing nanosuits in the cabin, including Soap himself.

Although the cost of the advance team's nanosuits is slightly cheaper than the titanium armor's nanosuits, their technological content is not low.

More advanced optical camouflage, modular devices that absorb and store energy, and greatly enhance the wearer's physical fitness, etc.

The most important point is that the nanosuits of the Advance Team will not "twist" the wearers who are not Astartes.

This greatly improves the safety factor for the advance team who have strengthened their bodies.

Next, Soap focused on abbreviated radar.

Through the radar's friendly force markings, it can be known that in addition to the advance team he led, there are five reconnaissance teams also riding on the Black Falcon, which are rapidly approaching the human gathering point in the west.

Two teams of investigators will try to penetrate into the steel city wall and go to the cities and towns behind the city wall to collect more useful intelligence for the frontline base.

A team of Greek demi-gods acted together with the two advance teams led by him, and "wandered" in this Jedi land filled with blood-colored mist.

See if we can catch living samples of unknown forces.

In this case, the biological department of the frontline base can be allowed to use their best field of "anatomy".

Only when they know themselves and their enemies can the Human Empire and Atlas attack in an overall manner and formally integrate.

"Colonel."

Just as Soap was about to check his exclusive hard light rifle again, he heard the report from the Black Falcon pilot on the communication channel:

"The three o'clock direction was detected, and there were suspected signs of crossfire."

While the pilot was reporting, he also zoomed in on the shared screen.

The screen showed a location about six kilometers away from their current location, flashing with a large number of muzzle flashes and the sound of explosions.

Moreover, the airborne pulse radar also provides feedback of a large number of red dots.

This shows that there are a large number of "living things" there.

So Soap immediately ordered: "Take us there."

"Yes, Colonel."

After receiving Soap's instructions, the pilot controlled the Black Falcon assault boat and headed towards the site of the firefight.

Soon, three Black Falcon assault boats carrying twelve advance teams and four Greek minor gods came to the southeast of the firefighting site, and then maintained a hovering state.

And Soap, through the pilot's shared vision, could vaguely see the appearance of the two warring parties.

More than a hundred human soldiers wearing World War II-like clothing and equipped with medieval armor and helmets are fighting tens of thousands of people.

The "heresies" are waging a fierce battle.

The reason Soap considers them heretics, not aliens, is because there are too many "human" soldiers.

It's just that the clothes of those "human" soldiers are tattered and dirty, and their armors also have spikes, pieces of flesh, and blood foam on them. It's obviously not the behavior and appearance that normal humans can do.

Moreover, most of the guys who fought with those "human" soldiers had severely distorted and deformed bodies.

They grow a large number of tentacles, bone spurs, compound eyes, and other organs that make people feel intensive phobia and psychological discomfort.

Some guys are huge, holding blood-stained, scarlet-glowing cold weapons in their hands.

Although the overall outline of those big guys still maintains the human torso and four arms, their heads are replaced by horned sheep heads.

Combined with the analysis results of the biological department, Soap has reason to believe that the distorted army fighting against human soldiers is most likely a heretic transformed by fallen humans.

In addition, the distorted army does not need gas masks and can move freely on the battlefield filled with blood mist.

On the other hand, human soldiers need to be fully armed and must wear gas masks and helmets with filtering devices to fight against the distorted army.

In the current situation, the number of human soldiers is already at a disadvantage, and the interference of the battlefield environment has gradually led them to a rout.

If it weren't for the human soldiers relying on the abandoned trenches and a "nun" wearing white clothes, equipped with knight armor and a sharp giant sword, fighting against the huge heretic, they would have been wiped out long ago.

"Colonel."

Witnessing the battle below, the pilot asked Soap:

"Should we intervene?"

Hearing this, Soap was silent for a while.

After thinking for a while, he ordered again: "All combat personnel will land immediately and prepare to provide assistance to the human military of Universe 13.

In addition, all Black Falcons listen to orders, while our combat personnel land, launch fire strikes on the distorted army of unknown forces.

Try to eliminate the opponent in the shortest time!

Also, call the elite guards and the Swift Shadow for support from the front-line base!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

As the instructions were issued, the three Black Falcon assault boats took action immediately.

In addition to maintaining the stealth mode and lowering the altitude, they also used the weapon racks mounted on the wings to directly carry out the first round of missile bombings on the densely populated area of ​​the distorted army.

Ri~——Boom——Boom! !

Instantly, low-yield metal hydrogen warheads exploded in the densely packed area of ​​the distorted army.

The radiance, like a miniature sun, briefly dispelled the poisonous blood mist that permeated the area, and the scorching heat and explosion impact also wiped out thousands of distorted soldiers and heretic creatures at once.

? ? ?

This sudden change stunned both sides in the battle.

"It's God! God has appeared!"

"Hahaha! Die heretics! All of you go to hell!!"

However, the human soldiers only experienced a brief moment of shock, and then they rushed out of the trenches one after another, shouting and roaring, trying to break through with their morale soaring.

Such a "miracle" of artillery fire from the sky seems not uncommon?

"."

However, the nun who rushed to the forefront did not say a word.

She was not an ordinary soldier, and she also understood that the missile salvo just now was not a "God's appearance".

But at this stage, the nun, who was extremely powerful in combat, just wanted to end the battle as soon as possible and pass on the latest intelligence they had found.
