  Chapter 584 Death

   For a long time, everyone has seen many dilapidated ruins, but the colonial satellites in front of them still give people a strange feeling.

  Under the light, everyone could clearly see dilapidated houses, destroyed facilities—and countless corpses.

  Yes, the bodies of those killed on the colony, even after several years, still float in this cold metal tomb. They didn't rot or deteriorate, they just kept the appearance when they died. Under the light, tens of thousands of corpses could be seen suspended and floating in it, without any reaction.

   “……it’s really uncomfortable.”

  Even Ann's face was depressed at the moment, and Mary's face was even paler. Only Augis looked out the window with the same expression, as if she had no reaction to the corpses.

   "Why, why did this happen?"

  Hearing Mary talking to herself, Duanmuhuai shrugged, reached out and patted Lumière beside her.

   "Guide, it's your turn."

"Why………"

  Lumière sighed silently, and then turned on the manipulator at hand again.

"According to records, three days after the war broke out between the Earth Federation and PLANT, the United Army launched a nuclear bomb attack on the colonial satellite, causing nearly 240,000 deaths. Because this day is February 14th, this incident also It’s called Blood Valentine’s Day. The coalition claims that it’s caused by PLANT’s self-destruction operation, but... PLANT obviously won’t accept this statement. Therefore, the battle between the two sides has intensified..."

   "It hasn't been a day or two since the Earth Federation's brain has problems. The high-level executives have always been mentally retarded."

   Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much. This is the case in the game. The faction that players have the most conflicts in this galaxy is the Earth Federation. Their reasons are various. Some want the technology of the Inquisition, and some want the players to help them fight the enemy. If the player refuses to agree, they will engage in moral kidnapping, or simply attack their own people, and then tell the player that this is all caused by you not helping me, and you are responsible...

   To be honest, it has not been a day or two since the Earth Federation has not been forced. This is one of the reasons why Duanmu Huai chose to act with Minerva.

   Anyway, PLANT can still understand human language. If you are going to the Earth Federation, you don’t know what crooked ideas those idiots will come up with.

  Don’t talk about blowing up PLANT’s colonial satellites. If necessary, this group of people will even blow up their own colonial satellites. At worst, they will blame PLANT after the bombing.

   "It's really pitiful, don't they think about it, there are so many innocent people here..."

If it was just a simple death, then the war might end, but this is not the case here. The more they advance to the core area of ​​the colonial satellite, the more corpses they can see. They even saw a mother hugging her tightly. Children floating through the air... This is obviously more shocking than the data and intelligence on paper.

   "Our world is the same, can't human beings stop fighting?"

  Lumière also complained in a low voice. There is no alien invasion in their world, let alone any external threats, but the war among the internal humans has never subsided. Lumière and Eclaire chose to escape from their world precisely because they had had enough of this kind of war.

   But now it seems... other worlds are not much better.

   "Although it is cruel, war itself is also a means of survival of the fittest. Of course, everyone hopes that it is not themselves who are eliminated, but... War, Warneverchanges..."

   Duanmuhuai shook his head and didn't say much. This world is cruel and treats all races equally, even humans who think they are intelligent and civilized. The tests they face are no more cruel than two packs of wolves fighting for territory, nor will they be more gentle than this . In the final analysis, most organic life forms in the universe are like this, war, occupation, plunder, conflict.

  Maybe it won't change until the universe is destroyed.

   Right at this moment, the Goddess of White passed through the wreckage without a sound, and landed on a tarmac.

   "Detection shows that there are several energy reactions inside, please be careful, Commander."

   "I know, those guys won't let us get it easily."

   Duanmuhuai nodded, then looked at Augis, Ann and Mary.

   "Okay, let's go."

   "Huh? Am I going too?"

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Mary was startled. She and Andu didn't wear their usual clothes, but N7 space armor from the Star Alliance. Of course, this was just in case.

  As for Augis, of course there is no need to change clothes, after all, she is not human at all.

   "Didn't you practice spacewalking?"

   "Yes, but, I have never fought in space before?"

"Don't worry."

  However, just as Mary finished speaking, she saw Augis, who had been sitting beside her, looking at her and speaking.

   "I will protect you."

   "Uh...thanks??"

   "Relax, you'll be fine."

  Seeing Mary's uneasy expression, Duanmuhuai chuckled.

"Besides, aren't you a writer? Since you are a writer, you have to experience various experiences. Think about it, in the bombed space station, there are floating corpses that have been frozen for several years—this kind of Ordinary people don’t have the experience.”

   "...Ordinary people will not encounter evil gods or cultists..."

  Mary sighed silently, but it was obvious that she had no choice.

   Soon, the hatch opened, and a group of people stepped down from the White Goddess. Ann swayed excitedly from side to side, while Mary stepped on the ground cautiously—the next moment, she suddenly flew high into the sky.

   "Wow——!"

Obviously, moving in a weightless environment is still too difficult for Mary, but just as she screamed and didn't know what to do, Augis suddenly stretched out her hand, and several silk threads suddenly stretched out, Wrapped around Mary's body, pulling her back to the ground.

   "Hoo... thank you, Miss Augis."

  “………”

   Facing Mary's thanks, Augis just shook her head and didn't speak. At this moment, Duanmu Huai also gestured to them.

   "Okay, let's go."

  According to the map, this is the core power area of ​​the colonial satellite. As long as an earthquake bomb is installed here, the entire colonial satellite can be completely destroyed. Of course, just like the blasting of a building requires finding a good location, the blasting of an earthquake bomb also needs a suitable location, otherwise, if more than half of it is blown up, half of it will be left—well, Duanmuhuai thinks it will be blown up again at most. , but if it can be done once, he doesn't want to come twice, does he?

In the dark and dim corridor, there are all kinds of sundries floating everywhere. Of course, this has no effect on Duanmu Huai. Light up the road in front of you. And An was bouncing around, swimming leisurely like a fish in the water, jumping and turning around for a while, looking very comfortable.

   And Mary...

   "That, that...Miss Augis, I can go by myself..."

  Walking in the aisle, Mary said to Augis in tears. At the beginning, she didn't find any problems. But it didn't take long for Mary to discover that the silk threads of Augis had been completely wrapped around every joint of her body, and now she was like a puppet manipulated by Augis, she could only do what Augis asked her to do.

  Even if Augis asked her to jump into Swan Lake here, Mary could only accept it.

I have to say that the feeling that my body is not under my own control is very uncomfortable, but Mary has no other way, after all, she really has no experience in operating in space, not to mention that August's manipulation is not Mary at all. I can resist it.

  But...the real space looks so lonely...

  Mary was "forced" to follow behind Augis, while looking to the side. When she set foot on this colonial satellite, Mary's first reaction was deathly silence.

   Of course, there is no sound transmission in a vacuum, but this makes people feel more nervous. This colonial satellite now looks like a dead tomb, and all the dead here will wander endlessly in it... Just thinking about this scene makes Mary feel chills all over.

   Even walking in this steel corridor, Mary couldn’t hear her footsteps, as if she didn’t exist at all...

   "——!"

   At this moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly made a gesture to signal the others to stop, and then he pointed to the blasted gate in front of him, and everyone leaned over immediately, poking their heads out cautiously. Then, they saw that in the huge space ahead, dozens of mechas more than 20 meters high were holding weapons and patrolling back and forth there. Although it was impossible to tell what faction these mechs belonged to, it was obvious that they did not belong to Minerva.

"so much……"

   "Don't worry, it won't take long to kill them."

  Facing Mary's worry, Duanmuhuai comforted her lightly.

   "You wait here, Augis, Ann, prepare for the assault—remember, make it quick!"

   As soon as the words fell, the backpack on Duanmuhuai's back suddenly exploded. The next moment he clenched his warhammer tightly, he rushed out of the passage like a shell that exploded, and slammed into one of the mechs!

   "————!?"

  At this time, the mecha also sensed that something was wrong, it hurriedly turned around to face Duanmuhuai, and then instinctively raised the shield in its hand.

   And yet...it doesn't make sense.

"go to hell!"

  Accompanied by Duanmuhuai's roar, the Thunder Hammer directly hit the front of the shield held by the mecha, and the seemingly incomparably strong shield was instantly smashed into pieces like glass. Even the left arm of the mech holding the shield exploded directly under Duanmuhuai's blow. The huge shock wave made the enemy lose his balance. Armor's waist, and instantly pierced it!

   "———!"

The dazzling fire broke out again, and Duanmuhuai, who had penetrated through the mecha, hit the back of the mecha directly with a backhand hammer. In the next moment, a violent explosion flashed, and the unlucky mecha turned into a pile of burning wreckage. .

   This short fight naturally attracted the attention of other mechas, and they also took up weapons and moved towards this side. Soon, another mecha quickly passed through the wreckage of its companions, quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to find the attacker. And at this moment, Augis quietly flashed by like a swimming fish and appeared in front of it.

Looking at Aojisi in front of her, the movement of that mecha couldn't help but pause—this is also normal, after all, the outside here is a vacuum environment, and Aojisi is not wearing cosmic armor like Duanmuhuai or An. She looks like an ordinary human girl.

   According to the theory, it is impossible for human beings to survive in a vacuum. It can be imagined that in this environment, suddenly seeing a person not wearing a spacesuit, flying in front of you in a vacuum and staring at you, it is simply the rhythm of a thriller.

   "Whoa——!"

The pilot of the mecha was also obviously taken aback by Augis. Along with his screams, the green mecha directly pulled out the ax behind it, subconsciously wanting to swing it down—but its arm As soon as it was lifted, it was completely separated from the joints of the main body. In the blink of an eye, the mecha was dismembered by the invisible thread, and turned into useless scrap iron in the void.

   "It's my turn to do it next!"

  The one who followed was naturally Ann. Although it is difficult for her to cast many spells here due to the vacuum nature of the universe, this is not a problem for An. After all, she has been with Duanmuhuai for so long, and she has seen a lot of things and learned a lot of spells.

  For example...

   "White destroys light!"

  Accompanied by the shout, Ann raised her hands, and a huge magic circle unfolded in front of her. Immediately afterwards, the shining white light beam turned into a torrent and blasted directly towards the mecha team in the distance!

   For the mech team stationed here, what happened before them was simply a nightmare. They didn't even know what happened, they were dazed by the sudden attack. And until now, they don't even know who attacked them!

   "Damn, what the **** is going on?"

   Watching another mecha explode in front of him, the captain was furious, no wonder he was so angry. After all, Duanmu Huai, Augis and An all played by themselves. Although Duanmu Huai was 2.5 meters tall and at least three meters tall in power armor, it was obviously not enough to look at in front of a tall mecha that was more than ten meters tall at every turn. As for the pilots in this world, their first reaction to being attacked was the enemy's mobile suit team attacking, and they would never have imagined that someone could physically dismantle the mecha.

   Not to mention that because of their small size, their signals can hardly be seen on the radar, and the current environment is extremely dark. Under such circumstances, the mecha team can't find the incoming target, which naturally makes the mecha team very embarrassed.

  Who the hell?

   Who the **** is attacking them?

  The team leader manipulated the mecha, looking around desperately, but he couldn't see any traces at all, the surroundings were dim, and he couldn't even see the signal of the opponent's mecha.

   So, what are we being attacked by! ?

While the captain was thinking about this question, suddenly, another mecha in front of him exploded. Panicked, the captain hurriedly manipulated his mecha to retreat, and at this moment, he saw—a Clothed in pitch black, a strangely armored figure emerged from the exploding flames, rushing towards him directly!

What's this?

  Looking at that terrifying figure, the captain felt chills all over his body. Just seeing his shadow, the captain felt as if his blood had frozen, and even felt an indescribable fear. He widened his eyes in horror, watching the figure rushing towards him, the shadow reflected by the flames and flashes, in the eyes of the squad leader, looked like some kind of weird, terrifying monster writhing its tentacles.

  At this moment, the only thing he could say was one sentence.

"Help………!!"

   As soon as the words fell, the thunderous hammer directly tore the outer shell of the mech, smashed the cockpit, and hit the squad leader's hideous and distorted face due to fear.
