Chapter 352: Revenge Crawford Infiltration
Association to this point.
Sui Yang dissipated the screens related to the "Trench Crusaders" and "Starship Fleet" universes, and set his eyes on the holographic archives showing "Alien" and "Red Alert 2".
First is the "Alien" universe.
The "Alien" human colony, which was investigated and explored by Gary "Xiao Qiang" Sanderson.
Through the images sent back by the orbital drone, Xiao Qiang can determine that the entire planet where they are located is a "tropical" environment.
The land is covered with dense forests, there are many oceans and freshwater lakes, and only the polar regions have obvious glaciers and snow peaks.
The space gate, the front-line base, and the atmospheric transformation device affiliated with Weyland Tangu Company are located deep in the rainforest near the equator.
The human city closest to the front-line base is located in the northern plains 300 kilometers away.
At the same time, the orbital drone also photographed human towns and villages of varying sizes.
According to preliminary estimates, the total population of the colony where the space gate is located is about four million, or more.
In addition, there are several large space stations and orbital defense platforms carrying a large number of tactical nuclear bombs in the near-Earth orbit of the colony.
Through the archives compiled by the Intelligence Department, Sui Yang can conclude that the colony where the "15" space gate is located should be considered to be a large-scale colony in the "Alien" universe.
Because although the humans in the "Alien" universe have interstellar navigation technology and have fought many interstellar wars, the humans in the "Alien" universe do not have similar technologies for jump navigation.
In "Alien 2", the warships carried by the Colonial Marines take several weeks or even months to reach the designated location.
Therefore, one of the necessary facilities for warships, as well as civilian colonial ships, cargo ships and other ships is the freezing chamber.
Combined with the fact that "Alien 2" and "Avatar" were shot by the same director, and "Alien 2" blurred the "superluminal" engine...
Sui Yang believes that the superluminal engine used by the human ships in the "Alien" universe is very likely to be achieved through antimatter engines to achieve "warp" navigation in space.
As for the conventional navigation of ships, nuclear fusion engines are used.
After all, humans in "Avatar" also use cryostat and antimatter engines.
Without the support of jump engines, the population of colonies in the "Alien" universe is usually pitifully small.
For example, the colony LV-426 in "Alien 2" has a total population of less than 200 after more than ten years of development.
In this way, a colony with a population of four million is definitely a major human town in the "Alien" universe.
And after Xiaoqiang obtained the detailed information provided by Sui Yang with the help of the Intelligence Department, he did not rush to carry out the integration.
Xiaoqiang first sent elite agents from the Investigation Department, and then planned to rely on Atlas's smart AI to infiltrate the "capital" of the colony to obtain more intelligence.
Therefore, the "Alien" universe only needs to proceed step by step and slowly.
When the formal integration is completed, the Empire will send a fleet composed of multiple legion companies, which will be enough to "sweep" all the forces in the "Alien" universe.
At present, there is nothing that Sui Yang needs to deliberately arrange in the "15" (alien) universe.
After reading the files about the "15" universe in a few seconds, he set his sights on "Red Alert 2" numbered "16".
The "16" universe is personally managed by John Price, the commander-in-chief of the joint reconnaissance force.
The various images and videos taken by the orbital drones over there show that the flags, buildings and military uniforms in most areas of the "16" earth are based on dark purple.
Only a few areas are red and blue.
Seeing the content presented in the file, Sui Yang directly determined that the timeline over there was the stage of "Yuri's Revenge".
Then.
Sui Yang used the widened and enlarged physical keyboard and mouse to quickly edit more detailed information and let the core members of the intelligence department hand it over to Price, who was responsible for "Red Alert 2".
Then, he dissipated all the files on the solid wood table and continued to focus on reviewing and approving documents and projects in various parts of the empire.
Yuri in Yuri's Revenge does have extremely powerful mind control, but.
The legion company stationed at the "16" frontline base with the joint reconnaissance force is the 1st Company of the Thousand Sons.
The Thousand Sons can be said to be an Astartes who are extremely good at psychic power. Moreover, the company of the Thousand Sons has also established a "think tank" position.
The think tank is responsible for the company's various records, expenses, and sorting out many physical books including the "Human Code", and writing experiences, urging company members to maintain reading habits, etc.
Listening to his duties, he seems to be a civil servant, but the think tank is definitely the best in the Thousand Sons in terms of proficiency in the use of pure psychic power.
The psychic power volume of the think tank may not be as good as Hera or Athena, but their psychic power can be derived from Magnus and Sui Yang, so it is more "handy" to use.
So Sui Yang is not worried about whether there will be large-scale casualties in "Red Alert 2".
As long as the Investigation Department obtains Yuri's genetic modification technology to prevent the imperial soldiers from being forcibly transformed into wild orcs during combat, there will be basically no excessive resistance.
Not long after.
The "Trench Crusader" universe numbered "13".
Outside a human town closest to the front-line base
Thousands of residents wearing masks left the steel-walled town and headed towards the area filled with toxic fog.
These residents are ragged, thin, and appear to be extremely malnourished. They cannot absorb enough calories, and their daily lives are extremely difficult.
The residents headed towards the no-man's land belonging to the war zone, actually preparing to take risks and scavenge.
Collect the corpses of soldiers who died in battle and recycle reusable materials to avoid the gradual expansion of the forces of hell.
After all, hell demons have many means to "bring back to life" the dead.
However, the resurrected dead will become part of the hell camp.
Therefore, in order to avoid corpses being possessed by demons and to obtain more weapons and ammunition, residents often risk death by venturing into no-man's land filled with poisonous fog.
This time.
There are two "figures" that cannot be seen with the naked eye, going upstream, bypassing the crowds heading to the no-man's land, and gradually approaching the town protected by the towering city wall.
Furthermore, the two "figures" were communicating through the helmet's internal communication;
"Sir, should we sneak in directly?"
The slender "figure" asked.
"Well, just dive in."
And another person responded in the affirmative.
If you use the high-altitude bird's-eye view of the orbiting drone, you can know from the friendly signs that the two figures are the two investigators who have activated the optical camouflage of individual equipment to maintain their concealment.
Among them, the investigator called "Sir" is Leon S. Kennedy's close friend and one of the legendary employees of the Investigation Department——
Mike Monady.
The female investigator, who has a slender figure but can be described as "just right" and "relatively plump", is a "newcomer" who has just officially joined the investigation department.
The real name shown on the file is Lara Croft.
As a native human being in the main universe, Lara Croft does not have a legendary deed similar to "Tomb Raider" like her name.
Lara Croft's father, Richard Crawford, is one of the top executives of Atlas' London branch.
Sui Yang realized that the special surname of Crawford, coupled with the power of his family, had a certain influence in the UK, so in the 1960s and 1970s, Sui Yang "recruited" the Crawford family for his own use.
Lara Croft was born in the spring of 1985.
At that time, Atlas already had an extremely mature process for cultivating and training investigators.
After Atlas opens the space gate and sets foot in the multiverse, he gradually moves from the dark side to the bright side.
With excellent grades and physical fitness, Lara Croft began to jump through the ranks one after another, and finally graduated from the Military Academy in Accra.
Therefore, Laura, who was only nineteen years old, took the opportunity to become an Atlas investigator for the "Empire State-owned Enterprise" and followed the extremely experienced Mike to perform infiltration missions.
The two of them took the Black Falcon assault boat and arrived in an uninhabited area about ten kilometers away from the town in front of them, and then walked here.
In terms of equipment, the two of them used fully-sealed combat suits and fully-covered mechanical skeletons.
However, the overall look and feel is still much "thinner" than ODST.
After all, the individual equipment provided by the Investigation Department is usually based on completing tasks such as infiltration, stealth, and assassination.
Even the special operations team of the Investigation Department uses power armor that is not as thick as Mike Pu's power armor.
Next.
Mike and Laura, using the optical camouflage of individual soldiers' equipment, bypassed the seemingly malnourished town residents and quickly approached the city gate that could lead to the interior of the town.
Outside the open city gate, there are trenches with fixed artillery and machine gun positions.
On the city wall, there are densely packed muzzles and huge cannons with a caliber of at least 1000mm.
However, the air defense facilities of the city gates and walls are almost non-existent.
As for the hell forces, although there are demons that can fly, they must cooperate with ground troops to launch attacks, otherwise they will not pose any threat to the towns where humans gather.
And at the open city gate, there are many human soldiers in a mix of medieval and World War I and World War II styles, responsible for checking residents entering and leaving the city.
In addition, there are four knights who are about the same height as the Astartes, wearing heavy armor, holding giant shields and giant swords, and are wary of the human residents coming and going.
See this.
Mike's expression under the helmet was slightly solemn.
Because the intelligence information at the forward base has been updated through Chris's interrogation of Isabella de Keruai.
The four knights in front of them were similar in height to the Astartes, but they had physiques and combat prowess far beyond those of ordinary people.
Based on Isabella's blood and tissue samples, technicians from the Biology Department deduced that the data of the nuns in the "13" (trench) universe were equivalent to elite soldiers who had been injected with Inquise serum, or they were, after Genetic modification investigators.
At the same time, Isabella also specifically emphasized that the knights of the "One Three" universe have stronger combat power than the nuns.
So Mike didn't dare to gamble.
If he and Laura walked directly through the city gate in a "swaggering" manner, they would most likely be noticed by the opposing knight.
But when fighting alone, neither he nor Laura was a match for the knight.
What's more, this is a town where "one or three" humans gather.
Who knows how many knights there are?
If the stealth fails, being discovered and beaten up are minor problems. They are capable of protecting themselves.
But this may delay the latest instructions from the superiors, which is to find out the life patterns of the "One Three" humans, assist Athena and the Inquisition, and promote the "Human Code" and the Human Empire.
There was a little silence.
Mike took out two metal balls similar to magnetic levitation scanners from the storage bag on his back.
He handed one to Laura beside him, and then marked the no-man's land on the north side of the city gate on the helmet screen and said:
"Throw it hard."
"Yes, sir."
Laura received the order and took the metal ball, raised her right hand and stepped forward with her left leg towards the place marked by Mike.
At the moment her left foot landed, she exerted her waist, legs, and even her whole body to throw the metal ball held in her right palm.
Mike did the same.
Whoosh-whoosh-!
After the two metal balls left their hands, they flew across the sky at a very fast speed, and the moment they left their hands, they also lost the effect of optical camouflage.
Fortunately, the environment near the city gate was noisy, and the "13" humans did not have pulse scanning, dynamic detection and other technologies, so no one noticed the two objects smaller than ping-pong balls.
Soon.
The two metal balls fell into the no-man's land.
Then, Mike controlled the remote control through the helmet screen and selected the "play" command.
Then--
Da! Dada! !
Near the city gate, a sharp gunshot suddenly rang out.
? ? ! !
This movement immediately attracted the attention of human soldiers stationed in trenches and city walls.
At the location where the two metal balls landed, more than a dozen hell demons and more than a hundred heretic soldiers who had fallen into the hell camp appeared "out of thin air".
After "they" appeared, they quickly charged towards the city gate.
Dada!
Bang--! Bang--!
Although the human soldiers guarding the city gates didn't know how the demons and heretics approached silently, they still fought back immediately.
Instantly, gunfire raged.
Even the four knights stationed at the city gates waved their giant swords and ran at a very fast speed, ready to kill the demons and heretics at close range.
However, when a knight swung his giant sword and split a demon hound vertically,
the demon hound turned into "light particles" and dissipated?
And the other demons and heretics who were shot and chopped were also like this.
In fact, the "metal ball" invested by Mike and Laura is a holographic bait that can use hard light technology to confuse people.
Mike and Laura took advantage of the chaos and passed through the city gate and entered the town.
