Chapter 196 Anything can be destroyed, it all depends on the energy required

Chapter 196 Anything can be destroyed. It all depends on the energy required!

"Something is wrong!"

While using the scanning device for rapid detection, V suddenly observed the damage to the surface tissue of the corpse, which actually showed white spots like high temperature burning.

"Could it be that these people were burned to death by high temperature..."

Before V shook his head to reject his outrageous guess, Jack Wells on the side had already pointed out the doubts in advance.

"I don't think they were burned to death. If they were really killed by high temperature burning, why are there no signs of burning on their clothes?"

Jack's idea is exactly the same as V's. If they want to understand the real cause of death of these corpses, they may still have to rely on dissection to observe the internal organs of the deceased.

"Too strange!"

V, who was confused by the indescribable scene in front of him, couldn't help but deepen his doubts.

"No matter how much, let's take pictures of the characteristics of these corpses first."

As Jack said, he took pictures of the corpses on the ground and uploaded them to the headquarters base.

V gave a brief situation report to other soldiers in the investigation team's voice:

"This is Team 01. We found a large number of humans with strange deaths. Please pay attention to each team."

As soon as V finished speaking, investigators from other teams also issued the same situation report.

"Team 03 also found human corpses with strange deaths."

"Team 09 too."

"..."

On the team's communication channel, replies from other Astartes warriors came one after another.

It is obvious that the strange corpses that occurred in this city are large-scale and large-scale, not isolated cases!

This means that the suspicious heat source that V will face next may have a range of killing capabilities.

V must always be prepared for battle!

"It seems that the heat source photographed by our reconnaissance aircraft is most likely these dead humans."

After completing the upload of intelligence data, Jack immediately summarized the results of this investigation.

There is no such thing as inexplicable alien life, but just some humans who died unnatural deaths.

As for the cause of death, it might be something like a virus.

V did not respond to Jack's easy conclusion, but continued to be cautious and skeptical.

"Maybe, but we still have to be careful."

V looked at the faces of the dead bodies on the ground and found that the faces of these dead humans were all distorted, as if they had seen some extremely terrifying monsters.

Just as V was secretly guessing more possibilities, he heard Reed's voice in the communication channel:

"This is Team 07. We found a secret passage in the 1698 area of ​​Sana'a."

"Based on the time of death of the bodies here, I think there may be a shelter that has just fallen under this city."

"I think we can find more key information in that shelter!"

Reed's unexpected discovery made many soldiers excited.

This means that they are getting closer and closer to the cause of death of these humans and the truth of the suspected heat source!

"Haha! This investigation operation can finally have some results." The Astartes warriors were excited.

After hearing such good news, V's slightly solemn mood finally relaxed a little, just when he was about to go to Reed with Jack.

V suddenly realized that the slightly reduced radar on his helmet screen began to flash dense red heat source points.

And these heat source points were attacking him and Jack at an alarming speed!

'No! '

'They are the real heat source points! '

In an instant, V instantly realized that the "heat source points" he saw now were the real murderers who killed these humans.

"Jack!!"

V immediately roared, then raised the rifle in his hand and aimed it at the direction of the heat source, quickly pressed the trigger, and fired at the heat source.

As V's good brother and old partner for many years, Jack immediately cooperated with him to raise his gun and fire the moment he heard V's call.

In less than a second, the two of them cooperated with each other to set up a powerful firepower sweep.

However, when they scanned the radar and observed that the heat sources had appeared in their visual range.

V then saw what the heat sources looked like through the holographic screen of the helmet.

They turned out to be a group of vaguely visible and blurry "ghosts", just as their code name for this operation, "ghosts"!

"Oh my god...! There really is a fucking 'ghost' here!"

Of course, Jack also observed the "ghosts" of the heat sources in front of him. Just when his brain was a little down and he didn't know what countermeasures to take.

The group of ghosts standing in front of V directly charged towards his position. Judging from the state of the ghosts, they almost "flew" over!

"Fire!"

"This is Team 01. We have been attacked by supernatural life forms and now there is an exchange of fire!"

The voices of V and Jack, mixed with the roar of the rifles in their hands, sounded synchronously, and the whole silent square became noisy because of their gunshots.

Since these ghosts in quantum state cannot be directly observed by human eyes.

Therefore, V can only see the location of those ghosts clearly through the dynamic capture function of the holographic screen and the hyperspectral camera function of the power armor helmet.

Shortly after firing, V realized that their bullets could not cause any effective damage to the ghosts in front of him!

‘No! They are not afraid of bullets! ’

As a battle-hardened Astartes warrior, V certainly could not believe that his gunmanship would be so bad as this “human body outline”.

Since he has not hit these ghosts for a long time, there can only be one reason, that is, they are not affected by conventional physical attacks at all!

At this moment, Jack, who realized like V that the ghosts in front of him could not be hit by bullets, was also stunned and shocked.

After seeing with his own eyes that his guns could not cause any effective damage to the Netherworld, Jack immediately reminded his teammates through the team's communication device:

"This is Team 01, physical attacks are ineffective against the Netherworld! Repeat again, physical attacks cannot cause any damage to them!"

"..."

At this moment, Leon, who was sitting behind the star gate, had clearly seen the Netherworld that V saw through the real-time video of this investigation team.

The moment he saw the Netherworld, Leon instantly confirmed that this was the quantized soldier in the Netherworld universe.

There were no alien life forms that he had not expected, and no other moths. This was the world in the Netherworld movie!

It seems that there was no mistake in the heavens and other worlds opened by the star gate. They came to the right place.

'Finally confirmed! '

After a brief moment of happiness, Leon did not have time to think too much. He immediately used the highest authority voice notification on the front line to issue an order to the soldiers of this investigation team:

[Use the plasma discharge gun now to repel them! 】

The plasma discharge gun that Leon mentioned was the extra weapon he had prepared for the Astartes warriors in advance.

Before V officially set off, he noticed that there was an extra strange pistol in his equipment box.

And that pistol was the life-saving weapon that Leon prepared for them!

It was useless to use conventional rifles to deal with these Nether soldiers in the quantum state, and pulse energy weapons had to be used.

However, since the more powerful pulse energy weapons and equipment were still being rushed, the current Astartes warriors could only use this pistol to barely deal with the Nethers.

Soon, as soon as Leon's voice fell, V, who was in danger, immediately reacted to the pistol on his body.

He quickly took out the plasma discharge gun, and almost at the close distance where the Nether was about to touch his face, V pulled the trigger one after another and fired the pulse bullet.

In an instant, several Nethers were instantly beaten into smoke-like particles in front of V, and they flew out like exploding flour.

Seeing that this plasma weapon could really cause damage to the ghosts, V and Jack immediately had the confidence to counterattack.

With the exquisite cooperation of the two, dozens of ghosts that rushed towards them were all turned into powder and disappeared.

"Fuck! Well done! V!"

Jack breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, when he saw the ghosts rushing towards him, he really felt a sense of fear of dying.

Even after dealing with this group of ghosts, the fear in Jack's heart still did not dissipate, but became more solemn.

"These ghosts are really weird!"

Jack couldn't help but yell, as if only by doing this could he calm down.

"This is Team 01. The ghosts in the area have been killed. Are there any casualties in the other teams?"

V ignored Jack, who was still in shock, and asked about the latest situation of the team through the communication voice.

"Report, this is Team 03, no casualties."

"This is Team 09, we have successfully killed the Nether."

"..."

After a round of personnel reports, V learned about the encounter that just happened, and all the Astartes warriors responded in time.

In an instant, they pulled out the key plasma discharge gun and dispersed the Nether that attacked them.

[All investigators should evacuate Sana City immediately, quickly! ]

Just when the soldiers relaxed a little and congratulated each other that there were no casualties in this operation, Leon's order was conveyed again.

From Leon's urgent voice, everyone could vaguely perceive that there seemed to be some terrible existence here, secretly spying on them.

In fact, the reason why Leon was so anxious to order this investigation team to evacuate quickly was because the Nether soldiers who were just dispersed were not really "dead"!

They were just disintegrated by the impact of plasma weapons, but after a period of reorganization and aggregation, they will be "resurrected".

No matter how powerful the plasma generator is, it has a limit on the number of times it can fire. Once the energy is exhausted, what awaits the Astartes warriors is the counterattack of the Netherworld!

"Yes!"

After receiving Leon's order, all the Astartes warriors immediately and orderly evacuated Sana City quickly, and the shuttle in the sky has also landed on the ground.

In less than five minutes, all members of the investigation team boarded the plane safely and left this place of trouble.

And when the Skyhawk shuttle flew back to the other end of the star gate, the netherworld in Sana City had slowly reunited from the scattered particles, and returned to its original state!

…

…

Behind the star gate, the base of all realms!

At this moment, various materials and information coming from the front line have been sorted and classified by technical staff and uploaded to the company's headquarters database in an orderly manner.

After confirming that the world in front of the Star Gate is the "Netherworld" universe, Li Ang has determined that those Netherworlds just now are the humans in the Bose-Einstein condensate.

According to the original plot analysis, the source of condensed matter technology is an Eastern European country called Moldova.

By using the energy provided by nuclear power plants and using the raw material "rú", mass production of Bose-Einstein condensates was achieved.

This substance can gather a large number of particles in the same quantum state, and achieve extremely low temperatures close to absolute zero!

If this substance passes through the body, it will cause severe damage to the internal organs, brain, skin and other tissues, eventually leading to rapid death of the human body.

Although most of the members of Li Ang's investigation team are highly modified "Iron Hands" Astartes warriors, they still retain some of the original human organs.

Such as the brain.

Once the brain is seriously damaged, I am afraid that the fate of these Astartes warriors will not be much better than that of ordinary humans.

'The idea of ​​using condensed matter technology to create ghost soldiers is really interesting...'

Li Ang shook his head and sighed.

Judging from the characteristics of condensed matter, this technology is indeed not as suitable for weaponization as plasma.

Moreover, the manufacturing process is cumbersome and costly, but if it can be used to create ghost soldiers, it would be really good!

At least these soldiers can really achieve the kind of attack state that Taylor in "The Three-Body Problem" dreamed of.

In addition to being invisible to the naked eye, Nether Soldiers move quietly and can even release considerable energy in an instant to blast enemies at close range.

Of course, Netherworld also has weaknesses.

For example, they cannot penetrate walls or facilities made of ceramics or pure iron, and if they are observed by something from the microscopic realm, they will quickly collapse and disintegrate.

But even so, humans in the "Netherworld" universe still chose to mass-produce Netherworld soldiers.

A scientific research team from Moldova used molecular-level scanning equipment to scan human subjects and forcibly extracted a complete neural network system.

Later, 3D printing technology was combined to use condensed matter as the "vehicle" of human consciousness.

In this way, the original Nether Soldier became one!

‘Using a bunch of uncontrollable ghosts as warriors is not a wise decision. ’

Li Ang said thoughtfully.

In his impression, these ghosts who had been extracted from their neural network systems were suffering tremendous pain and torture every moment on the boundary between life and death.

Like imps being tortured in hell, the ghosts who fell into a state of madness began to attack any living being indiscriminately.

The ghosts in the original movie escaped due to a safety accident. These ghosts absorbed energy through various channels and began to divide themselves exponentially.

In the end, they became extremely terrifying "humanoid weapons" of mass destruction. They slaughtered millions of innocent humans in just a few days.

It is precisely because of such "natural and man-made disasters" that the forces of various countries that are in a state of war have chosen to temporarily put aside their prejudices and shake hands to make peace.

Fight these ghosts of death together.

"Anything can be destroyed, it all depends on the energy required."

Li Ang murmured to himself.

Although these ghost soldiers formed from condensed matter can ignore conventional bullets, they will be defeated by extremely high-temperature plasma.

But although the plasma weapons created by the company can disperse these ghosts, they may not be able to completely kill them.

Unless, like the humans in this world, we use nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs to wipe out the world and trap these ghosts, preventing them from obtaining the energy to maintain their own quantum state.

The best way to deal with it is to send people directly to the nuclear power plant to cut off the connection between these ghostly neural network systems and the condensed matter.

Directly use the method of "unplugging the network cable" to completely end the existence of these ghosts.

Previously, Li Ang's troops were at the Star Gate and did not see Netherworld. It was most likely because all the people were dead.

These ghosts were afraid that they could no longer maintain their quantum form, so they chose to transfer, or they were delayed in getting new energy, causing themselves to dissipate.

But no matter which result it is, it has shown the extremely lethality of these ghosts and their powerful reproduction ability like the spread of plague!

If it is not controlled, I am afraid that all living things on this earth will either die or become a quantum state, and there will no longer be any living things.

By then, the entire earth may really become a ghost star floating all over the ground!

It is urgent to save the Earth in the Netherworld universe.

After much thought, Li Ang decided to dispatch a fully armed "ghost fighting force" again to Sanaa City to rescue the local humans.

The information Li Ang has now is still too little, and it is far from enough to allow him to make better decisions.

Three days later.

Base of all realms!

"We have completed the consciousness control of replicants through polymer devices."

Morgan Blackhand stood in front of Li Ang and gave him a detailed work report.

"Next, we will give instructions to the tyrant throughout the entire process, allowing him to control the clone soldiers to complete all reconnaissance and combat missions!"

The polymer device Morgan mentioned is the technological point that can control unconscious life forms.

Under Li Ang's instruction, a group of clones from the factory have instantly become soldiers who can be put into the battlefield through the neural control of polymers and the implantation of combat chips.

The tyrant, who executes the mission orders 100%, will lead this clone force to the Sanaa battlefield under the full instructions of the headquarters command room.

"Well, continue to prepare for subsequent combat operations."

Li Ang was quite satisfied with Morgan's actions. In just three days, he had already prepared an army of clones that could be dropped on the battlefield at any time.

With these clones here, Li Ang no longer has to worry about any casualties among his own Astartes warriors.

After all, these replicants themselves are unconscious "living dead", puppet soldiers controlled by polymers.

The tyrant is the leader responsible for controlling the clones. Even if he dies, there will be subsequent tyrants who will continue to take over and continue to complete the combat mission.

"yes!"

After receiving Li Ang's response, Morgan Blackhand immediately went down to handle the subsequent planning and deployment.

…

Sanaa City.

In a basement dozens of meters below the surface, three soldiers were sitting at the control desk, watching the images on the screen.

This safe house, with its cramped environment, dim lights, and turbid air, is the last line of safety in their lives.

Because the underground room was too stuffy, the three soldiers did not wear heavy combat uniforms or heavy helmets.

Different from other ordinary soldiers, the firearms they carry at all times are not standard conventional rifles, but larger plasma generator guns.

This discharge gun has no ammunition, just a row of disposable battery blocks.

"This is so fucked... I don't know how long we have to live in this miserable place. I really want to go out and take a breather!"

The dead silence in the basement was finally broken by the complaint of one of the soldiers. He looked at the surveillance screen as usual and couldn't help but sigh.

"It will take three months at the earliest, so be patient."

The soldier sitting in the middle looks obviously older. He is the leader of this group of soldiers and is responsible for leading the team to investigate the situation on the ground.

"Huh? We still have to wait so long!"

When another soldier heard this, he couldn't stand it any longer. He gave up on himself and cursed:

"Sir, I'm really going crazy."

"Instead of being so cowardly and trapped in a basement dozens of meters thick, why not take the initiative to go out and fight with those ghosts!"

"Even if you die, it's better than being here."

As soon as the soldiers finished complaining, their commander responded coldly: "If you want to die, go up by yourself. No one will stop you."

The officer's words immediately choked the two complaining soldiers to death.

If they really wanted to die, how could they escape into the basement with the refugees?

It's okay to scold the mother, but the soldiers' bodies are still quite honest. No one really wants to go up and risk their lives in front of Netherworld.

At this moment, the entire basement fell into an awkward silence again.

The three soldiers continued to focus on the screen, observing the surface area they were responsible for.

They have been living this mole-like life for almost ten years!

From the initial uneasiness to the numbness and despair now, they still stick to this place, preferring to be trapped and die underground rather than dare to come out easily.

The main reason is that those terrifying "ghosts" on the ground come and go without a trace!
