Chapter 215 The Creator Behind the Mimicry! The Harvester Civilization!

The spring rain has been falling for several days in a row. The old and dilapidated roads have been soaked by the rain and are now covered with mud and potholes.

In this dark and moonless night, the best state is to curl up in a safe and comfortable bed and listen quietly to the white noise of raindrops hitting the ground outside.

But at this time, the roar of the engine and the sound of the rotor stirring suddenly broke the tranquility of this quiet place.

It turned out to be a small formation of fighter jets consisting of three Skyhawk shuttles, two Stormhawk gunboats, and a flapping wing aircraft.

It was flying rapidly towards the position of Paris at a low altitude.

These fighter jets were all engraved with eye-catching and clear "LA" markings. Obviously, this is the flight formation of the Universal Corporation!

In order to keep a low profile as much as possible and reduce unnecessary influence, Li Ang only selected less than 70 combat personnel in this operation.

Even the fighter jets did not exceed ten.

And these personnel are all the most outstanding warriors in the Iron Hands Legion.

They are elite soldiers carefully selected from three operations in the heavens and the worlds, and their combat effectiveness is self-evident!

In this combat operation, Leon has no room for error.

So he must bet on the most elite combat force of the giant enterprise, just to make a final decision for this battle and merge Omega into the matrix.

"Report, we are still 30 kilometers away from the Louvre in Paris, and it is expected to arrive in the area within 6 minutes!"

The driver's voice sounded in Leon's headset.

"Well, keep going."

"Yes!"

The dark night and continuous spring rain provide excellent cover for this flight formation.

From the front-line base of the star gate to now, they have not been detected by the UDF defense forces on the ground, nor have they been attacked by any mimicry.

In a Storm Eagle gunboat, the cabin that can accommodate 30 soldiers is constantly making various noises.

The roar of the gunboat's engine was mixed with the friction and collision of various guns, power armor and other metal devices.

The two sides of the cabin were filled with Astartes warriors wearing MarkX power armor, who were checking their weapons and equipment in an orderly manner.

These warriors were placed in the Iron Hands Legion, and each of them was a top-level "king of soldiers". They usually served as the absolute combat core personnel in their respective combat teams.

And today, they will be the sharpest blades of the giant enterprise, piercing the heart of the mimic leader Omega!

As for Leon, he was sitting in a nearby flapping-wing aircraft, and his personal bodyguard and giant enterprise executive Morgan Blackhand, observing the situation in the cabin.

Although he would not personally participate in the combat operation with V and others this time, in order to ensure the smooth execution of the operation, Leon needed to come to the front line for real-time supervision.

After all, Omega's ability is too amazing, especially its blood, which can even give the infected the ability to [reset].

Li Ang suspected that Omega was a product of superluminal particles. There were many superluminal particles in its blood, so it "granted" others the ability to [reset].

However, whether this operation mission was successful or not, it would not affect Li Ang's determination to take down the mimic.

At this moment, V, who was sitting in the cabin of the gunship, confirmed that the safety of his exclusive frenzy bomb pistol was on, and then inserted it back into the holster on his right hip.

Then, he looked up at the holographic screen on the tactical helmet, and determined the distance between the formation and the Louvre through the dynamic map information transmitted by the driver.

And the crew standing on both sides of the cabin, ready to open the hatch at any time and drop this group of soldiers into the designated combat area, are ready.

"Everyone! Please get ready!"

"Next is your performance time!"

As the voice fell, accompanied by a scratching sound, the hatches on both sides of the fighter that had not yet landed completely were opened by the crew.

The Astartes warriors in full power armor were like dumplings, one after another, like small meteorites, and they fell to the ground with a bang!

In order to cover the soldiers below in advance and enter the combat area in an orderly manner, the gunboats and shuttles in the air have aimed at the mimics below, using machine guns and artillery to bombard back and forth.

Boom--! !

The crisp sound of machine gun shooting and the deafening sound of artillery suddenly sounded, one after another.

"Everyone."

Sitting firmly in the flapping-wing aircraft in the sky, Leon said to the soldiers of this operation through the communication equipment connected to all the soldiers:

"You are the sharp blade of the world giant enterprise and the elite of the Iron Hands. I will not say more warm nonsense to you. I only ask you two points-"

"First, win this battle and complete the mission."

"Second, crush any mimic bastards who try to stop you. I am waiting for your good news!"

Leon usually makes the principle of clear rewards and punishments and equal exchange to an impeccable degree of fairness.

So there is no need for him to say more nonsense about winning and returning, raising wages and improving benefits. These Astartes soldiers only know that they will complete the mission and they will have their own share.

[Guarantee to complete the mission-! ! ]

The soldiers responded to Leon excitedly at the same time.

At the same time, many black mimics have poured into the combat area.

But under the bombardment of the soldiers on the ground and the cross fire dragons of the gunboats in mid-air, "fireworks and firecrackers" were set off in an instant!

The gorgeous flower of death exploded in the center of a large number of mimics.

Faced with the shooting and indiscriminate bombing of fighter jets, many mimics could only bury half of their bodies under the soil.

Then he used his core to continuously fire pointed spear bullets at the Astartes warriors.

Bang!

A sharp spear bullet suddenly hit a certain soldier, but with a thick ceramic shell, these bullets could not do anything to him.

The gunboats responsible for fire cover, taking advantage of the high altitude, continued to pour artillery output on the ground.

boom--!

boom!

Another missile fell, and the Storm Eagle gunship directly lifted the Mimic away, taking the muddy land with it.

The crew members standing on both sides of the cabin were not idle either. They set up the 7.62mm Vulcan Gatling and fired wildly at the mimics on the ground.

At this moment, the mimics who were attacked by the giant company's troops were completely crushed by the firepower of this flying formation.

Omega had never expected that human formations would appear here before, so the mimic defense here was not strong.

In less than a minute, the Mimics in the area had suffered heavy casualties, but the number of Mimics here was large enough. After one group died, another group would continue to attack them.

Fortunately, with the rapid advancement of these gunboats and troops, the glass pyramid hiding Omega is already in sight!

It didn't take long for the Astartes warriors to arrive at the square area on the north side. Facing the target point only a short distance away, all the warriors roared excitedly.

"Brothers, rush, rush, rush!"

In an instant, everyone began to fight separately according to the established plan.

"Jack, Li De, you bring people to guard the west and south sides for me, don't let any mimics get close!"

V immediately gave instructions to Jack and others through the team voice.

His power armor is equipped with a matrix connection device, and this time he will personally carry out the plan to "integrate into the power grid" of Omega.

After receiving V's order, dozens of soldiers immediately divided into two teams and rushed towards the west and south.

Soldiers from both sides each occupied favorable terrain and quickly established cross lines of fire to maximize the killing and blocking effects.

At the same time, the gunboats, ornithopters, and shuttles that followed were also hovering over the Louvre Museum, providing fire support to the ground troops.

"David! Let your people guard here. V and I will continue to the target location. Is it clear?"

Johnny Silverhand shouted to David Martinez beside him.

"clear!"

Immediately, under the leadership of David, the last small group of Astartes warriors immediately divided into two groups, one part of which stayed here.

Build the last solid line of defense for V.

The other part is to cover V's arrival at the final destination, the location of the glass pyramid!

At this moment, the glass pyramid building that should have been bright and bright, filled with various artworks, has become dilapidated due to the invasion of mimicry.

The rushing water flowed along the broken glass and fell on the cracked floor tiles, forming a waterfall.

Soon, V and his group were walking quickly through the pyramid building.

They remained focused, cautiously moving forward alternately, and from time to time, reporting to Li Ang the latest situation here.

After a while, they saw the ultimate goal of this operation, the core brain of Mimicry - Omega, in the underground parking area more than ten meters down!

"Report, we have determined the location of Omega and are about to carry out the matrix access mission."

Even though victory was right in front of him, V did not show any slack or excitement because of the upcoming success.

[Okay, continue to complete the task. 】

Li Ang, who remained calm like V, simply responded.

The more moments like this, the more you need to stay calm, and you must not pop the champagne at halftime, otherwise something big will definitely happen!

Here, after V confirmed that there were no dangerous factors below, he immediately asked the other soldiers to follow him and jump to the parking lot.

This is because these Astartes warriors all have exaggerated physical fitness and are large metal cans protected by MarkX power armor.

Therefore, this jumping height is completely worth mentioning to them.

No additional assistance from the sling is needed, just jump down and that’s it!

The moment they landed, the soldiers immediately dispersed, each holding a gun on guard and looking around at the situation.

V couldn't help but feel a little relieved after seeing that there were only many abandoned vehicles and no other mimic creatures nearby.

Fortunately, this place is not like the outside, which is full of crowded and blocked black mimics, otherwise it would be really difficult for them to carry out the next action.

Immediately afterwards, V took off the already equipped matrix access point. It was a device that looked like a chip, but the access point was a neural cable.

This special "biological cable" is specially used to connect to creatures like Omega.

V used this thing before to forcibly integrate "Eva" on Pandora into the matrix power grid.

This device can even extract the planetary consciousness Eva, let alone an ordinary living species like Omega.

After taking out the matrix device, V led Johnny and others to slow down their pace and continue to move towards the marked target area.

Soon, they saw a huge puddle in front of them. The creature there was emitting dark blue light, which was Omega!

There was also an Alpha mimic nearby, which was patrolling back and forth vigilantly around the deep puddle.

"Very good, it seems that we have come to the right place!"

V's voice was slightly excited and excited. As long as the target was found, the success of the operation was not far away.

V, who had long been accustomed to various big scenes and life-and-death moments, had no tension at all at this moment. He only wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and leave work early.

Immediately, after a brief communication, Johnny Silverhand, who was standing next to V, first stuck his head out and observed Alpha in front of him, and then gestured to the soldiers beside him.

They will take the initiative to contain Alpha, and V will take the opportunity to go to Omega alone!

"V, it's up to you now."

Johnny gave V a thumbs up. He believed in V's ability as always.

"Leave it to me."

V raised his hand and patted Johnny on the shoulder, smiling confidently.

After the words fell, Johnny took the remaining four Astartes warriors and rushed out of the bunker together, launching a surprise attack directly towards Alpha.

"Stop this heretic bastard for me, don't let it interfere with V's mission!"

Accompanied by Johnny's angry curse, several warriors immediately rushed out and launched a melee attack on Alpha.

Their purpose was not to kill Alpha, but to delay Alpha and give V a chance to get close to Omega.

After all, if Alpha was killed, Omega would immediately start to reset. Omega, who observed the results from a four-dimensional perspective, would definitely be able to find a way to avoid being arrested.

No one could tell what would happen by then!

"Roar...!"

Seeing a human soldier come out to provoke him, Alpha instantly got angry. It twisted its densely packed limbs and came to the front of the soldiers in a blink of an eye.

Then it stretched out its tentacles, transformed them into sharp bone spurs, and suddenly stabbed Johnny and other soldiers.

Bang!

Alpha's bone spurs not only failed to pierce Johnny, but Johnny dodged it sideways and hit Alpha hard with a fist as big as a sandbag.

The Astartes warrior's giant fist plus the drive of the power armor device, this heavy artillery punch hit Alpha and caused internal bleeding.

Seeing that Alpha was exhausted by his punch, Johnny was afraid that he would hit too hard and kill Alpha directly.

So Johnny could only call the surrounding soldiers to catch Alpha with him and don't let him leave here.

"Brothers, hold this thing tight, don't let it run away!"

The whole battle process was easier than Johnny imagined. Looking at Alpha, who was surrounded by several Astartes warriors and held by his limbs and bone spurs, Johnny couldn't help but chuckle:

"This guy is quite strong, you should be careful, don't kill it, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

"Yes!"

The warriors played the art of binding with Alpha here, while V jumped into the deep water pit and swam quickly towards Omega's location.

"Roar--!"

When realizing that he was deliberately trapped here and Omega was about to face danger, the angry Alpha roared unwillingly.

It began to struggle desperately, trying to escape from Johnny and others, but what awaited Alpha was another heavy punch.

After two punches, Alpha was damaged again internally, and the strength of his struggle became weaker, as if he was saying to Johnny, "I'm honest, please let me go."

In the puddle.

V held the matrix device tightly. Thanks to the auxiliary system of the power armor, he could pass through layers of obstacles and dive into deeper waters without moving much.

Soon, a huge sea anemone creature was floating quietly in the water. That was their target - Omega!

Through close observation, V could see that the core device of Omega was a spherical object that was rotating and about two meters long.

The whole device glowed with dazzling blue light. No wonder they could vaguely see the blue light here before they arrived here.

"Send you to our giant company's power plant and be a good generator!"

After saying that, V came to the core of Omega, aimed at the position and directly inserted the matrix device into it.

Buzz--! !

When the neural cable of the matrix touched the core of Omega, it immediately penetrated deep into the core and instantly connected it to the matrix server.

At that moment, Omega's muscle tissue even stiffened. It took a long time for him to completely relax and return to his previous state.

At the same time, Leon, who was far above the Louvre, also received information from the matrix server that Omega had been connected!

[Mission completed, retreat begins. ]

When Leon's order was sent through the communication device, the mimic insects that were in a fierce battle with the Astartes warriors suddenly fell into a state of stiffness.

It was as if someone had forcibly unplugged the wires, and they collectively lost their ability to move.

Obviously, they were ordered by Omega to stop attacking and stand by.

And all these changes are controlled by Li Ang!

After seeing that the mission had been completed and the target had been successfully arrested, these soldiers did not let out any roars of excitement like mountains and tsunamis.

There was no hugging each other happily, thankful that the trip ended successfully.

They simply obeyed Li Ang's retreat order and asked each combat group to report their casualties while retreating along the original route.

It wasn't until it was clear that there were no casualties that the soldiers collectively returned to the landing site where the gunboat and shuttle were located.

As for the Alpha, which was nearly forced to shut down after being punched twice by Johnny, he was also brought into the cabin.

The entire retreat process was orderly and neat, and no one showed any signs of slackness because of the victory at this moment.

"The entire operation lasted 15 minutes and 57 seconds. There were no casualties. Omega and an Alpha were successfully captured, as well as a few Mimics for research."

"Report completed."

As the captain of this commando team, V finally felt relieved after reporting the action to Li Ang.

[Well, everyone is boarding the plane and returning to the frontline base! 】

…

While this small fighter group was returning to the base, the Astartes warriors in the cabin finally relaxed completely and began to chat with each other in a humorous manner.

At this moment, Li Ang has learned about the true origins of mimicry and Omega through the matrix!

Strictly speaking, Omegas are not completely magical species that evolved on their own. They are biological weapons specially cultivated by more advanced civilizations.

The blood in Omega and Alpha's bodies contains tachyons, and these substances are not born with them, but are given to them by other civilizations.

In other words, behind the species of mimicry, there is a more advanced creator civilization!

‘Sure enough... this trip is not as easy as imagined! ’

Li Ang, who had already had a premonition, actually suspected that the species of mimicry might be a weapon modified by other civilizations when he deduced the super-light speed technology.

After all, no matter how you look at this thing, mimicry has quite obvious "marks of manufacturing".

For example, they are automatic mechanical combinations used by advanced civilizations to harvest resources. Their materials are like some kind of nanotechnology substance, and the operating system uses a hive consciousness.

A single mimic is dropped onto a certain planet through meteors, meteorites, or even a specific propeller.

Then the mimic quickly relied on swallowing matter to copy three mimic species with different functions: Omega, Alpha, and ordinary mimic.

What follows is a series of pollution and transformation of the local environment, and the use of local material resources to quickly replicate itself.

For example, mimicry will replicate itself by swallowing soil, and its excrement will pollute the soil and destroy the local ecological environment.

These body structures have an obvious general-purpose design and can change various shapes on their own. After harvesting a planet, they will send a signal to the creator civilization.

Let them come and receive all the resources of the planet.

I have to say that this interstellar colonization model is really elegant and efficient!

Relying on such a thing to colonize and expand the territory of your own civilization is simply not too comfortable, too easy and hassle-free.

‘The creator of mimicry is definitely an awesome senior programmer. He wrote a code for a colonial reptile to harvest life and resources from other planets! ’

Li Ang couldn't help but secretly marvel, the heavens and other worlds opened by the level 2 star gate really gave him a wave of strength.

He had a strong hunch that the mimetic Creator civilization was definitely not someone to be trifled with. The civilization's technological level had even surpassed that of giant corporations!

"Show me all the information about your Creator."

Thinking of this, Li Ang gave instructions to Omega through the matrix, and the next second, Omega sent all the information to him.

Soon, Li Ang learned about the creator of the mimetic civilization from this information, and their infamous name was——

[Reaper Civilization]!
