Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter 950

[950. As if facing a formidable enemy (3)]

The entrance to the huge passage has been closed, and the thick gate made of composite crystals isolates the inside and outside of the fortress. This composite crystal is capable of absorbing powerful kinetic energy and was made by Yurgin by smelting Satyr alloy and rare elements extracted from this planet.

Except for the guardian who was dragged outside, it seemed that the “retreat” order was carried out fairly well.

Yergin and Renata opened the gate and rushed in, then the gate closed again behind them.

There were not many guards on the passage. They must have received Renata’s order and moved to the central hub. The two saw along the way that most of the automatic defense weapons were functioning, but there were no other traces except the charred walls and ground.

“The weapons didn’t work, they passed by…?”

Yuerjin was a little shocked, frowned, and accelerated his speed.

Renata knew what he was worried about, and when she saw the weapons being activated, she felt the same way – a bad premonition.

Near a conspicuous guard post, they finally found the bodies of two dead dragons. There were also traces of the recent battle nearby, which were the remains of a group of small guardians that had been blown to pieces by energy weapons.

“No, my benefactor and the others fought here…!”

Renata was in a very solemn mood. She glanced sideways at Yergin. When their eyes met, they were both shocked.

“Quickly! They must have broken through here. They should have left not long ago.”

After Yergin finished speaking, he shot out like a cannonball first, followed closely by Renata.

————

Finally, the two came to the planned second line of defense—a transportation hub inside the fortress.

As soon as he saw the guards patrolling back and forth, Yergin felt a different atmosphere. Although the place was orderly, it was surprisingly calm.

“It’s strange, isn’t this place not under attack?” There was a trace of doubt in Yuerjin’s heart.

“Benefactor, let me ask.”

Renata also felt strange and ran towards the guards. I couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that the two female minions saw that this place was heavily guarded, so they avoided it?

However, this is unlikely – there is only one road here, and they found no trace of the enemy along the way.

Those two guys actually disappeared before they arrived?

This is too weird!

Yergin and Renata quickly interrogated them, and retrieved all the monitoring data from the guards. The answer they got was negative: the guards had not been attacked, and no traces of the enemy were found.

“This doesn’t make sense, there must be something wrong somewhere!”

Yergin’s expression changed, he frowned and kept thinking. He really couldn’t figure out what the problem was, and glanced at Renata.

“Did you…really see your opponent sneaking in here?” Yergin asked.

Renata was also puzzled as to why those two guys were nowhere to be found. Hearing Yergin’s question, he was immediately stunned.

“This… is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes! My benefactor, are you… doubting me?” She thought Yergin was doubting herself.

Yergin stood motionless behind the bunker, his eyes constantly searching around. He said with a heavy heart, “No, of course I am not doubting you. I am afraid that the enemy will use some tricks, so I must ask clearly.”

What Yergin said is correct. It seems that these two mysterious opponents have some Unusual.

Renata was a little impatient and said, “But I… I really saw it at that time… By the way, the sentry I saw before was attacked. Isn’t that the best proof?”

“That’s right… so. If so, we must have missed something along the way.”

After Yurjin finished speaking, he shook his head and looked up at the passage from where he came.

Finally, his eyes penetrated all the obstacles and found an inconspicuous place. It was a mass of mist hidden above the passage. Several faint flashes of light were emitted between the surges, and the light was integrating with the surveillance probes scanning around.

“Hey, what is that?” Yergin ran over in a sprint. Renata was slightly startled and followed.

Sure enough, in the middle of the passage, Yergin discovered something unusual – that’s where the thermal energy pipeline leaked energy from time to time.

The fortress built on the peak of the snow-capped mountains is connected to the mountains. There are many devices for controlling temperature inside the fortress. This kind of thermal energy pipeline is equivalent to “central air conditioning” and can be seen almost everywhere.

Yergin raised his head and saw at a glance some crystals around the thermal energy hole, which were shining orange and just overlapped with the dim light emitted by the monitoring facility.

It’s really hard to spot if you don’t distinguish carefully.

The two of them were in a hurry and ran all the way, completely ignoring this place.

Yerjin’s arm trembled and stretched out, and energy reaction fluctuations immediately appeared on the golden high-energy armor, and his face instantly darkened.

“Well – this is it. This thing is the crystal left after the Ax life form used biological weapons… I was so careless!”

“Ah! Could it be… they actually got out of the thermal energy pipe? Renata looked carefully and was secretly surprised.

Yes, the benefactor is right!

These thermal energy pipes are located in every room of the entire fortress. If someone really wants to invade the interior of the fortress and reach the central control unit, then this is indeed the fastest way. And it’s hard to prevent.

However, this seems a bit too weird to be true!

Renata has never seen an Ax life form that can pass through such a small space and avoid detection by surveillance equipment. This is what her experience after hundreds of battles with the mother body told her.

But she also knows that “experience” is never reliable.

“Benefactor, do you think they…”

“It’s true, we are encountering an enemy we have never seen before, a new masterpiece of the mother body.”

A cold light flashed in Yergin’s eyes, and he replied coldly.

“We have to catch up and kill them before they get far!”

After saying that, a small ball flew out of Yuerjin’s armor, and several rays of light intertwined on his chest, instantly showing a three-dimensional picture of the fortress. map.

After checking it for a few seconds, Yergin suddenly said, “This is it, let’s go quickly!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had already moved.

——Now that we know what the mother body’s goal is, it’s not difficult to rush over and stop them. Every second counts now.

The heat wave transmitting energy from the direction of the central unit hit their faces. The two passed through an area with complex structure and activated the gate in front of them.

This is the energy supply device for the entire fortress.

The giant thermonuclear turbine is running, extracting energy from the mantle deep underground, then refining and transforming it through the hot melt reaction core, and transporting it to the entire fortress.
