The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

As Leo said, until the support team sent by the cruise fortress arrived outside the base, the Steele bugs in the base still hadn't rushed out, but the screams coming from the base were getting louder , It became more and more chaotic, and it could be clearly felt that more and more monsters from the abyss had gathered around the warehouse at the opening of the outer wall of the base.

Because it is related to the abyss cave that caused the twilight of the gods, the cruise fortress attaches great importance to this, and directly dispatches all the heroic warriors, and each heroic warrior is equipped with the best weapons. These weapons obviously have the energy weapons of the Earth Federation However, it has also been modified by these people, and even if the modified weapon loses its energy, it can still be used as a cold weapon by virtue of its own sharpness.

But what deserves attention is actually the armor worn by these heroic warriors. It can be seen that the armor they wear, like Mimidor, is mixed with Hanmer Metal, a special metal they call the metal of God, and The amount of doping is much more than that of Mimidor, and the core energy source of these armors turned out to be small nuclear fusion reactors.

The main energy source of the early Earth Federation was the nuclear fusion reactor, whether it was a spaceship engine or daily power generation, all of them used this kind of energy, and scientists at that time also tried to miniaturize and make the nuclear fusion reactor portable. As the Earth Federation is inferior to the ranks of cosmic civilizations, the technology of the Earth Federation is developing rapidly, and energy technology has also undergone leapfrog changes. They have obtained a large number of energy technologies that are more efficient and durable than nuclear fusion reactors from alien civilizations. Nuclear fusion reactor technology was naturally abandoned, and related research was completely stopped. At that time, the smallest nuclear fusion reactor was almost as large as the engine room of three standard civilian spaceships.

Now humans in the Nine Worlds have picked up this energy technology that has been abandoned by the Earth Federation, and miniaturized it to the size of a backpack, which really surprised Leo, and Leo was also extremely puzzled, because Measured by the energy efficiency of energy technology, the source energy core that must be used as a subspace spacecraft engine is obviously more efficient than this kind of nuclear fusion reactor. It can be seen from their attitude towards the igniter Mimidor who can produce the source energy core. Look, they do value the Igniter, but not enough. It seems that they only regard the source energy core made by the Igniter as a common energy core to maintain Sky City, which makes Leo feel like a human being in the Nine Worlds. Feeling of ignorance.

Although the nuclear fusion reactor is not a particularly efficient energy source, it is more than enough to be used on the armor of these heroic warriors. The nuclear fusion reactor can not only supply the energy needed for the armor to operate, but also provide them with various energy weapons. Stable energy output, but its flaws are also very obvious, because their technology is not yet able to completely achieve the cold nuclear effect of the nuclear fusion reactor, and the reactor still emits heat, so the reactor backpack needs to be placed outside and only has one layer The hollowed-out fence supported by special metal protects it. Once the enemy discovers this weakness, hits it with an attack, and destroys it, then the armor on the heroic warriors will not only not help them fight against the enemy, but will instead become their burden. .

Obviously, these heroic warriors also know the disadvantages of their own equipment. When the members of the exploration team gathered to guard the formation before entering the warehouse inside the base to take over, they were all protecting their reactor backpacks under the command of the one-eyed Wu Ni.

The commander of the support team is the one-eyed Wuni. The armor he wears is completely different from the standard armor worn by other heroic warriors. His armor is made of a black light-absorbing metal, and even the weapons are also made of the same light-absorbing metal. , In addition, his helmet is in the shape of a crow, just like he lost one eye, and a crow only has one eye.

Seeing the one-eyed Wuni in this equipment, Leo couldn't help thinking that in the old earth's mythology related to the Nine Realms, Odin, the king of gods, seemed to be accompanied by two ravens, assisting Odin Supervising all things in the Nine Realms, one of these two ravens is called Wu Ni.

If the one-eyed man Wuni in front of him is really Odin's Raven Wuni, then his identity may not be as simple as the leader of a certain heroic soldier group in the standard cruise fortress, and this cruise fortress may be It's no ordinary fort either.

After the support team arrived, they immediately set up defenses under the order of the one-eyed man Wu Ni, and Wu Ni also asked the captain of the exploration team to find out the situation at the first time, but at this moment he didn't know what happened here before.

Those heroic warriors were all serious and nervous, and the roars coming from the base seemed to contain some kind of spiritual power, which made them, who had undergone physical transformation, feel a little flustered for no reason, so they couldn't help whispering They started talking, as if they wanted to use this method to divert their attention, so as to reduce the tension.

Although the content of their conversation was very fragmentary and did not involve the secrets of the cruise fortress, Leo on the side still heard some useful things from their conversation.

For example, he heard that when these support troops set off, the cruise fortress was preparing a very powerful and dangerous weapon. This weapon was called the Wrath of Thor by these heroic warriors. It not only has absolute lethality against the enemy, but also It also has devastating damage to itself, so these heroic warriors feel that if they can't stop the abyss monster in the magic cave from rushing out, the fortress will definitely use this weapon to die with the abyss monster and prevent Vanaheim from being eroded by the abyss.

Just as Leo was sifting out useful information from the words and phrases of these heroic warriors, the one-eyed man Wu Ni, who had already listened to his report, walked up to Leo, and asked directly, "Do you have any questions about the situation in the base?" I know the situation very well, can you tell me the details?" He raised his hand to activate the functional modules of the bracelet, so that a three-dimensional internal structure diagram of the base appeared in front of Leo, and then said: "Your Excellency can Don’t point out the specific unknowns of the abyssal monsters inside on the map.”

Seeing this extremely detailed structure map of the base, Leo looked at the one-eyed man Wuni meaningfully. Obviously, the high-level creators who sent this cruise fortress here to explore the base were very concerned about this base built by the Midgard people in ancient times. The degree of understanding is not as good as that mentioned by the one-eyed man Wu Ni before, so the purpose of these people coming to this base may not simply be to explore the ruins, but there must be other deep meanings, and it is even possible that they knew the base from the beginning There are creatures of the abyss.

Although there were a lot of guesses in Leo's mind, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he looked at the base structure diagram displayed with a serious face, and then, under his gaze, put the big Steele bugs one by one. The location of the demon's lair is drawn out. For the Steele worms, the lair is their core area. Once it is destroyed, the Steele worms related to this lair will be seriously affected, so if the heroic warriors want to take the initiative to attack, It is best to directly aim at the lair of the worm. As for the other scattered branches of the Steele worm in various passages of the base, they just said it casually and did not mention it too much.

When Leo narrated the internal situation of the base, the one-eyed Wu Ni listened very carefully, as if facing a teacher's lecture, and even passed the location of the lair pointed out by Leo to other heroic warriors, and adjusted quickly. Look at the enemy's plan.

When Leo finished what he was going to say, the one-eyed man Wu Ni quickly added, "What kind of abyss monster is the Steele worm you are talking about? Is there any weakness that can be exploited?"

Leo also replied very seriously: "The Steele worms are a mid-level race in the abyss. They are not powerful individually, nor do they have high intelligence, but if they can build a worm nest, then they can continue to Create a large number of worm demon warriors in a short period of time, and the power level of worm demons will also increase. When worm demons with a certain power level reach a certain number, worm demons will be born among them with swarm consciousness and A wise worm mother or mastermind, then the worm's weakness in wisdom can also be made up for, and at this time, even the upper races of the abyss will choose to avoid it."

After listening to Leo's narration, the one-eyed Wu Ni immediately asked again: "What stage has the Steele Worm here reached now?"

"You already know it in your heart, so why bother to ask more." Leo looked at the one-eyed Wu Ni, and then gave him a deep look. In the initial stage of the nest, although there are many insect nests in the base, those insect nests will not be able to function until they get enough resources. But once you can't stop those insects from rushing out of the base to collect resources, it won't take long I am afraid that this Vanaheim will be completely occupied by insect demons, and the other nine worlds may not escape the erosion of the abyss."

At this time, Leo suddenly thought of the giant worms he saw in the restricted area of ​​the Holy Seal. Although those giant worms did not have the aura of the abyss on them, and their shapes were far from the worms, he had a faint feeling that the two There may be some kind of connection.

"Your Excellency, can you tell me why you know these abyssal monsters so well?" the one-eyed Wu Ni asked a targeted question. Although there was no sense of questioning in his tone, the meaning in his words was undoubtedly questioning Leo. Know the reason for the Steele bug.

"Your Excellency, can you tell me the real reason why you cruised the fortress to explore this base?" Leo did not answer, but asked the one-eyed Wu Ni, and before the other party spoke, he said: "As long as you tell me, I will If you want to know, then I will tell you, what do you want to know? Is this kind of transaction fair?"

The one-eyed man Wu Ni narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold and stern gaze flashed through him, and then he asked a question that many people have asked many times before in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Human, a human who travels in this world." Leo replied with a smile.

He also said this answer to other people who asked who he was before, and the one-eyed Wu Ni was one of them, but when he heard this sentence, the environment, atmosphere and feeling were completely different from those he heard now. The listener's interpretation of this sentence is also completely different.

When the one-eyed Wuni heard this sentence before, he only regarded the humans in Leo's mouth as Midgards or other humans from the Nine Realms, but now he seems to realize that his previous understanding may be wrong. Now, the human beings in Leo's mouth are not the same as the human beings he thinks. At the same time, a content recorded in the holy scriptures that almost no one will read in his mind, the history of darkness.

The so-called dark history is the history before the establishment of the Nine Realms and the appearance of the ancient saints of the world such as Asgard. In the holy scriptures, that period of history is regarded as the darkest period, and the history of that period is very chaotic. Almost the Nine Realms The records in the holy scriptures of different worlds are different. The only thing that is certain is that the human race at that time was a refugee, and the specific reason for the escape is unclear, but what is certain is that the human race in the Nine Worlds is not the only human race, because all the holy scriptures It is clearly recorded in the dark history of China that in the process of fleeing, the human race continued to split, and many human races stayed in other harsh worlds.

At this moment, the one-eyed man Wu Ni quickly thought of those ancient humans who stayed in other bad worlds mentioned in the dark history, and the more he looked at Leo, the more he felt that his guess was right, especially Leo has been The language used is the language and vocabulary of ancient times, and only ancient humans can use it as a daily language.

At this time, the one-eyed man Wu Ni recalled a very important name recorded in the holy scriptures, which seemed to be related to the world where ancient humans lived, so he tentatively asked: "Are you a human from the Earth Federation? "

When saying the name of the Earth Federation, the one-eyed Wu Ni emphasized his tone, and carefully observed Leo's expression, and Leo did not hide his emotions when he heard the familiar name, with a clear expression on his face. Surprised expression.

Seeing this scene, the one-eyed Wu Ni immediately understood that the humans who looked like Midgards in front of him were actually not humans from the Nine Realms, but ancient humans from other worlds other than the Nine Realms.

This discovery made Wu Ni's breathing a lot heavier in an instant, because he knew very well how important the ancient humans were to the creators of the holy city. The first thing that came to his mind was to take Leo to the holy city immediately. If Leo is unwilling, he will not hesitate to use the strongest force to capture him to the holy city.

However, this idea only appeared in his mind for a while, and he was dismissed immediately. The reason for dismissal was not only because it was more important to solve the abyss in the base, but also because he had a faint feeling that even if he used the ultimate force, he might not be able to. It might be able to deal with the ancient human who has swept away all the heroic warriors in the past few days.

Just when the one-eyed man Wu Ni was embarrassed by his astonishing discovery, an exceptionally loud hiss penetrated through the metal wall on one side of the warehouse, and at the same time a huge force hit the wall fiercely, A gap was opened in the wall, and then a group of monsters less than half the size of ordinary people swarmed out of the gap, rushing towards the heroic warriors who had been on guard for a long time.
