Chapter 195 All-Star Investigation Team! Nuclear Disaster! Strange Cause of Death

Chapter 195 All-Star Investigation Team! Nuclear disaster! Strange cause of death!

Seeing all the Astartes warriors present expressing doubts, Morgan Blackhand found this understandable.

After all, before this, he had many times thought that this was an aircraft on a reconnaissance mission, something had malfunctioned, or that there was some special magnetic field interference in the airspace.

It was not until Morgan dispatched more than a dozen groups of reconnaissance aircraft to conduct a more comprehensive and careful investigation, as well as filming and reconnaissance from other airspace angles.

He was convinced of such an outrageous and strange situation.

"I know you don't want to believe such a thing, but judging from the information we have so far, the heat source point that suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared is true."

Judging from the situation described by Morgan Blackhand, the suspicious heat source seemed to be like some kind of flashing light that would "light up" from time to time.

Such weird and strange features immediately aroused V's alert.

If the information detected by Morgan is true, maybe there really is some kind of alternative alien life on this earth!

Perhaps one of the characteristics of this alien life is that it can hide or adjust its own temperature freely to avoid enemy detection.

‘It seems that the dirty things on this alien earth are more powerful than I imagined. ’

V thought thoughtfully in his heart.

Here, Morgan Blackhand didn't care about what the soldiers below were thinking, and directly began to explain their mission.

"In short, this matter has received great attention from the boss. Your subsequent investigation results will directly affect our subsequent action deployment."

"So I hope you can cheer up and complete this critical survey task!"

Seeing that Morgan had said this, the Astartes warriors present also understood the importance of this matter and the actions to be completed next.

"yes!"

The soldiers below responded in unison.

‘No wonder the boss specially arranged for us to go there. It seems that the difficulty and criticality of this task are really not small...! ’

From Morgan's demeanor and words, V could feel that this investigation operation might be the key to cracking the suspicious heat source.

"In half an hour, a Skyhawk shuttle will transport us to the outskirts of Sana'a."

While Morgan Blackhand explained the specific mission of this operation in detail to the soldiers below, he controlled the holographic screen to display the terrain modeling of the Sana area.

"After transporting you to Sana, I will remain hidden on the shuttle and remotely direct every decision-making action you make."

"Of course, the highest order is still based on the boss's orders."

After speaking, Morgan Blackhand enlarged the topographic map of Sana City several times.

"Your mission is to sneak into this city on foot and collect as much relevant intelligence and clues as possible."

"Everyone, do you have any questions to ask now?"

Morgan raised his eyes and stared at the Astartes warriors present. At this moment, the answer he most wanted to hear was that there was no objection, and then these warriors carried out the mission without hesitation.

Fortunately, these most elite warriors from the "Iron Hands" legion all expressed no problem at the same time after understanding their missions.

"very good!"

Morgan Blackhand smiled with satisfaction. He turned off the holographic screen in front of him, and then gave orders to the Astartes warriors below:

"Then from now on, you all go down and get ready, and go to the logistics warehouse to get whatever equipment you want."

"Okay, disband!"

After the words fell, the Astartes warriors immediately stood up and responded: "Yes!"

Immediately, Morgan picked up the black windbreaker hanging on the chair and left the small conference room. He was going to report to Li Ang on the work situation.

In the conference room, V looked slightly solemn as he watched Morgan's black hand walking away.

He doesn't know why, but he always feels that the next mission may be a hundred times more dangerous than the mission he performed on Pandora!

"V, what are you worried about?"

Seeing V frowning slightly, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, Jack Wells, as a good brother, stepped forward and asked with concern.

Jack and V have been partners in life and death for many years. Jack can guess most of what V is thinking.

"Are you worried that this operation is dangerous?"

Jack smiled and put his arm around V's shoulders, and said carelessly: "There's nothing to worry about. I'm just going to investigate a heat source."

"My brothers were able to beat Arasaka soldiers to pieces back then, and they were able to beat Na'vi people a few years ago, let alone the Earthlings here."

Jack didn't take the flashing heat source mentioned by Morgan Blackhand at all.

No matter how strong the humans here are, how can they be more powerful than these Space Marines?

It’s completely impossible!

"Jack, I think things are not that simple. I'm afraid we really need to be more cautious on this trip. We must be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years."

V was thinking more deeply than Jack.

The premise of being brave is to be afraid, but still face the fear in your heart firmly. V is not afraid that something will happen to him, but he doesn't want these good brothers to suffer.

"Jack, it stands to reason that the heat source will not disappear quickly in a short period of time. With such an abnormal situation, I really doubt whether there is a so-called 'ghost' here."

From Morgan's narration just now, V could sense that his boss, Leon, knew that there was a dangerous life form here.

But he was not 100% sure, so he asked them to investigate in person.

"Hey! How can there be such a fantasy? If there really is a so-called ghost in this world, the human rebels who died under our hands would have come here to seek revenge long ago."

Jack didn't care about the "ghost" mentioned by V. After reminding V to prepare for the battle as soon as possible, he turned and walked outside and left the meeting room.

And V also put on his coat, took his things, and walked straight to the logistics department.

"Hoohoo...!"

A gust of cold wind blew past, like a soft ice knife scraping V's face. The current temperature of this earth is low, and it should be in winter.

Having been used to living in the ideal city with constant temperature and spring-like weather all year round, V was a little uncomfortable with the climate here for a while.

Zizi--!

Bang! !

When passing by the front-line base under construction, V saw a large number of AI robots busy with construction tasks.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the convenience and efficiency brought by technology.

In just half a day, the prototype of a large front-line base has taken shape!

At this moment, V inexplicably remembered when he just joined the company.

He was holding a few broken guns, with a deadly Relic chip in his head, running around for LA company.

And now, he has transplanted the most advanced cyber prosthetic devices and 19 genetic organs with different functions all over his body, just like the strongest humanoid warrior in the giant company.

If the original Qiansi Fox prosthetic doctor said that his prosthetic devices were worth millions of euros.

Then the prosthetics and organs of V from beginning to end can be called a miracle of mankind, a priceless treasure!

Not long after, V passed through a newly built large military camp, bypassed a secret blocked area, and finally walked into the logistics department.

There were many logistics staff wearing mechanical exoskeletons, who were busy carrying supplies, equipment boxes, sorting guns and ammunition, and classifying them accordingly.

Immediately, V came to the head of the logistics department. He took off his coat for cold protection, revealing his strong and tall body.

"My name is V, company employee number A001, and now I need to pick up equipment to perform tasks."

As V spoke, he played his employee ID message through a holographic device.

"Of course, Mr. V, you can take your equipment."

The head of the logistics department obviously knew the famous V. After seeing V show his identity, he immediately shouted to the staff behind him:

"A001!"

As soon as the voice fell, more than a dozen logistics staff immediately stopped and moved out several equipment boxes marked with [A001] from the safe room that specially stored the equipment of the Astartes.

Soon, the staff placed the box in front of V. When the button of the box was opened, the MarkX power armor and standard weapons and equipment inside were instantly revealed.

Because the mission to be completed this time was an investigation operation, the power armor model equipped by V was the most conventional and comprehensive tactical power armor.

Then, with the joint assistance of the logistics staff, V quickly put on the power armor device and equipped with the corresponding weapons.

However, the careful V suddenly found that there seemed to be a strange pistol in his batch of weapons and equipment.

Without time to think about it, V simply took the pistol with him.

"Have Jack and Reed been here?"

V turned his head and looked at the head of the logistics department and asked.

"They have been here, and they just left here."

"Yeah."

V nodded, and then went straight outside. It was clearly noon at this moment, but the sky outside was quite dim and gloomy.

Not far away, there was an open vertical take-off and landing apron, where several Skyhawk shuttles specially used to transport Astartes warriors were parked.

Because the height and size of Astartes warriors were too large, with an average height of more than 2.5 meters per person, transport aircraft such as Scorpion fighters and ornithopters could not transport them.

Only this kind of large transport aircraft was suitable for the transportation and delivery of Astartes warriors.

After a while, under the command and arrangement of Morgan Blackhand, all the Astartes warriors, including V, boarded the Skyhawk shuttles.

The lineup of this investigation team, with each person being a regiment officer, was luxurious.

And this was exactly what Leon had specially arranged, not only to train the group's ability to work together, but also because he believed in their abilities.

Since he was going to find out the truth, it would be better to do it in one step. Leon didn't want to find out the truth after a long time.

When all the Astartes warriors boarded the plane, the pilot began to retract the doors on both sides of the shuttle, closing the cabin completely.

The ground staff nearby ran to a farther position, kept a half-kneeling posture, raised his right thumb, and told the pilot that it was time to take off.

Seeing this, the pilots in the shuttle also raised their right hands to indicate that they had received it, and then started the engine device carried by the shuttle.

boom--! !

Accompanied by a huge roar, the powerful airflow ejected from the shuttle engine instantly swept through the surroundings, blinding the nearby ground staff.

The Skyhawk shuttle slowly took off, and after reaching the designated altitude, the engines that turned its wings began to accelerate.

A few seconds later, several shuttles immediately disappeared within the range that ground personnel could observe with the naked eye.

At this moment, in the cabin of the Skyhawk shuttle.

Under the roar of the shuttle engine at full power, all Astartes warriors could feel the violent vibrations in the cabin.

David, who was sitting at the back of the cabin, now had a profound experience of what it means to be "a ghost chasing behind you".

The other Astartes warriors in the cabin were all frowning and cursing in their hearts.

The Skyhawk shuttle they were riding on was constantly accelerating to a low-Earth orbit two hundred kilometers above the ground, and then quickly headed to the Sana area, which was eight thousand kilometers away.

Fortunately, these Astartes warriors have long been accustomed to this sense of oppression. When the obvious cabin vibration disappeared, it was replaced by a feeling of weightlessness.

This means they have arrived near the Earth's low Earth orbit.

Without the safety belts on their bodies, the Astartes warriors at this time would be like floating iron cans, floating up to each other, and colliding with each other to make a "bang bang" collision sound.

"I'll go! V, look out the window."

At this time, Jack Wells tilted his head to look outside the cabin and hurriedly called V.

After hearing Jack's reminder, V turned his head and looked at the porthole next to him, looking over.

At this moment, what caught V's eyes was the earth shrouded in a layer of gray haze. The earth, which should have been blue and pure, seemed to be covered with a gray coat at this moment.

"This is air pollution caused by nuclear explosions."

The unsmiling Li De suddenly said in a deep voice: "The dust, debris, soil and various waste materials kicked up by the nuclear explosion entered the low-altitude orbit."

"These impurities are like dirt embedded in the Earth's surface, blocking the transmittance of sunlight and causing the Earth's temperature to drop significantly."

"This is why we see cities abandoned and environments desolate and decayed."

When Li De explained the situation to everyone, he couldn't help but think of more than ten years ago.

If it hadn't been for the establishment of the world's giants, perhaps their final outcome would have been the same as the humans here, falling into the miserable situation after a nuclear war.

V: "..."

Facing the dilapidated scene in front of him, V felt very complicated. He became more and more eager to find out what happened to the earth through this investigation.

What is that suspicious heat source?

…

…

Sana'a, located in the desert, is supposed to be a city with plenty of sunshine.

However, due to a series of adverse effects brought about by nuclear war, the illumination in Sana'a, like other desolate cities, is dark and depressed.

The Astartes warriors overlooking the city from the air can feel the beautiful scenery of the city's past just from the exotic buildings.

Unfortunately, the civil war between humans has resulted in the desert city that was supposed to be a historical site turning into a dilapidated and abandoned ruins blown by the yellow sand.

Not long after, the pilot of the shuttle began to control the plane to land on the outskirts of Sana'a. When the engines of the wings rotated to a vertical position, the shuttle also maintained a hovering attitude.

Immediately afterwards, the shuttle released its landing gear and slowly landed in a flat desert area.

Finally, the cabin door opened, and the impatient Astartes warriors immediately poured out of the cabin under the instructions of Morgan Blackhand.

After getting off the shuttle, these soldiers immediately remained vigilant and looked around the surrounding environment with sharp eyes.

All Astartes warriors equipped with MarkX power armor have extremely advanced air filtration devices, so the fine flying sand here will not get into their respiratory tracts.

After a short period of observation, no one found anything unusual here, let alone any signs of life.

"How could there be a heat source in such a ghost place? Do you think this is a place with living people?"

After observing that the area was completely uninhabited, Jack Wells began to curse. He suspected that the investigators had gotten the information wrong.

Although V didn't say anything to Jack, he couldn't help but start to wonder if the people at the headquarters had made a mistake.

boom--! !

At this moment, the shuttle that had closed its hatch took off again, and bursts of flying sand rose up all around.

After the Skyhawk shuttle rose to an altitude of one thousand meters, the area returned to its previous state of silence.

"Attention all members!"

Morgan Blackhand, who was sitting in the shuttle, had given instructions to the Astartes warriors through their internal communication channel:

"Next, you will be divided into three teams, a total of ten teams. Members of each team will start to disperse to investigate the Sana area. Pay attention to safety and report any situation immediately."

"If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, I will provide you with fire support as soon as possible and call in the most ferocious bombers."

When the voice on the communication ended, V immediately called up the holographic function of the helmet to provide him with additional visual dynamic capture assistance.

This time he and Jack are partners. Their code names are 01 and 02 respectively. In order to maintain efficient communication, they will report the situation using their code names.

"Everyone, our mission this time is to investigate the suspected heat source in Sana'a. If we encounter danger, we must retreat as soon as possible and report the situation."

"Don't be obsessed with fighting. Try to avoid fighting with the other party unless absolutely necessary. Do you understand?"

Before the official departure, V, as the captain of this investigation team, reminded the soldiers.

"Yes! Sir!"

The Astartes responded positively.

"Let's go."

After explaining the last precautions, V and everyone walked towards the ruined city five kilometers away.

Although their mission this time is only a simple investigation and reconnaissance, the equipment that these soldiers should be equipped with are all of the most sophisticated and top-notch level.

After all, no one can guarantee whether those suspicious heat sources are ferocious alien creatures or other weird things.

If you have a gun, don't use it, and if you don't have a gun, those are two different concepts.

A few minutes later, V and his teammates came to an abandoned town. The traces left here all showed that the town had a prosperous past.

But now, all that is left is a lifeless desolation.

Judging from what V observed, no one has been here for at least five years.

After reporting the intelligence here, V and his teammates began to disperse in different directions, but their search targets were all pointed at the city in front of them - Sana'a.

With the support of speed and strength provided by the power armor, V and Jack quickly reached the edge of the Sana area with almost no effort.

And when they entered the city, what they saw were bones everywhere and skeletons broken by the wind.

But the most bizarre thing is that the clothes of these corpses are all well preserved, with no obvious damage, no bullet holes, and no traces of scratches by sharp objects.

These people seemed to die in an instant, which was exactly the same as what they observed in the abandoned city before.

"V, do you have any idea now?"

Jack looked at the dead bodies on the ground and didn't know what to say for a moment. He had previously thought that there had been a nuclear attack here.

But judging from the state of these corpses, this should not be the case.

V half-crouched next to these corpses and looked at the inner city not far away. I was afraid that if they wanted to know the real cause of death of these corpses, they would have to go into the city to investigate.

"Keep walking."

V didn't say anything more to Jack. He continued to lead everyone towards the place where the heat source point had been marked, and walked gradually over.

Long before these Astartes warriors set out, Morgan Blackhand prepared complete and clear thumbnail maps of the terrain for them.

The 3D modeling map of this city had already been constructed by their investigators.

V only needs to follow the established route to reach their investigation area.

Immediately, V and Jack arrived near a park square, where there were shops that had not yet been closed and supporting convenient buildings.

And a lot of dead bodies.

But unlike the corpses V had just seen, these corpses had not decayed and looked like they had just died.

‘Could it be that... someone has been here before, and then it was used as a heat source again! ’

V began to wonder if those suspicious heat sources might be these dead humans.

After noticing the strange situation in front of him, V subconsciously reported the situation here, and then led Jack to launch a detailed investigation.

When they got closer to the corpses, they realized how "weird" the death conditions of these corpses were!

The skin of the corpse was obviously not damaged, but V could observe that the blood vessels inside them had completely burst and exploded, causing damage from the inside to the outside... What a strange cause of death this was.

At this moment, V's mind became a little confused.

He was wondering what kind of attack could cause fatal injuries to the human body from within. Could it be some kind of ultrasonic attack that shattered the man's blood vessels.

But before V could figure it out, his next observation immediately overturned his previous guess.
