Chapter 174 Reverse Slavery?
Giant
Human? ? ?
The worker ants in the biological protective suit opened their eyes wide, revealing an unbelievable look.
The Reaper itself is very thin, shriveled, top-heavy, and less than one meter tall, so it needs a semi-permanent biological skeleton to assist them in moving or fighting.
However, the defense of the biological protective suits of the soldier ants and worker ants is worrying. Previously, the ODST and AECS that boarded the airdrop warehouse easily completed the task of killing the soldier ants and sweeping the landing area.
In terms of individual combat power, the soldier ants may not even be as good as the armed security of Atlas.
After all, they rely on celestial-class battleships and locust-like and wasp-like carrier-based aircraft formations to launch attacks. After occupying a planet openly, the soldier ants will take the transport boat to the surface and be responsible for various finishing tasks.
At this moment, the dozens of worker ants standing on the landing platform were a little stunned.
Although they were controlled by the telepathy of the queen mother, each harvester had a relatively independent self-awareness and thinking logic, so they couldn't figure out how the giant in front of them came to the landing platform.
But before they could figure it out, it was gone?
Their vision fell into darkness, and the telepathy with the queen mother was also cut off. What was going on? ?
With confusion, their consciousness completely dissipated.
In fact, it was their vision that did not capture the giant's hammer swing, and their bodies were directly hammered to pieces--
"Puff!!"
The crisp sound of flesh bursting resounded on the landing platform.
The giant, or Vulcan, who was already three meters tall and wearing a prototype power armor, half-crouched and left the Auk assault boat, and then casually dealt with the group of harvester workers who were watching his embarrassment.
Then, the other three Auks that maintained their hidden state released their landing gears one after another, opened the doors on both sides, and parked on the periphery of the landing platform.
Step, step!
The hunters (ARS 1st Reconnaissance Company) wearing full-coverage mechanical skeletons escorted four technical engineers wearing white protective suits out of the cabin and gathered behind Vulkan.
"Let's go."
Vulkan used the helmet communication to give a brief command and took the lead to walk towards the entrance and exit of the passage at the end of the platform.
The two hunter combat platoons spread out and moved forward in an arrow "Λ" formation on the left and right of Vulkan, while the engineers followed closely with 8mm submachine guns to avoid being left alone.
Not long after, the group came to the inside of the passage with emerald green lights.
Inside the helmet;
The feedback from the pulse scan was displayed on the radar in the upper left corner, and the analysis results of the power armor on the nearby environment were also displayed in the right column of the screen, so that Vulkan could understand all the dynamics around him and avoid detours that would delay progress.
"."
However, when Vulkan saw the "oxygen concentration 22%" and "carbon dioxide less than 0.03%" in the right column, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
Since his father once said that the Reapers wanted to enslave fellow humans, why couldn't they do the opposite?
No, it should be to reverse the enslavement of the Reapers' soldiers and workers, and use them as extremely cheap labor tools.
After all, the number of soldiers and workers exceeds 2 billion. If they are all killed, it always feels like a waste of ammunition, and it also consumes a lot of manpower, time and energy of the company, and there is no rich place and food to imprison them.
But if the company's biological team cracks the telepathic mode of the Reaper civilization, maybe they can control it like the Reaper Queen.
So Vulkan opened the internal communication, linked to Sanguinius's power armor channel, and proposed to the other party:
"Brother, you can try to destroy part of the brain tissue of the Reaper Queen, and then hand it over to Dr. Ashford for research, maybe there will be unexpected gains."
"Got it."
Hearing that Sanguinius had no objection, Vulkan refocused on the current task.
Not long after, they arrived at a corner.
The pulse scan showed that the open space on the right was gathered with a large number of soldier ants about two meters and five meters tall wearing biological protection suits and holding bone-shaped energy guns. The area where the soldier ants were stationed was the only way to the main control room.
Seeing this, Vulkan raised his hand to signal to stop, and also ordered on the communication:
"The second row stays here to protect the engineers, and the first row follows me to deal with the scum."
On the other hand, the harvester soldiers were waiting for battle;
"Gaga."
The biological protective suit made a low air filtering sound, which sounded like the "buzzing" noise that mosquitoes hate when flying was slowed down, which was also annoying.
They didn't know how humans accurately locked the location of the control room, but they had to stop humans from moving forward, otherwise the control of the entire mothership would change hands, and the attacker's carrier-based aircraft formation would lose navigation and firepower assistance, becoming a live target for the human fleet.
But——
Bang, bang! !
But the first human who came into view was Vulkan, who was three meters tall, and the original body charged towards their line at a speed that was almost impossible to capture and lock.
!!! !
Seeing the giant coming, even the soldier ants who were under the control of the queen mother could not help but feel fear.
They quickly raised their guns and pulled the triggers.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, countless emerald green energy shells whizzed in, heading straight for Vulcan who had turned into a residual shadow.
Buzz! Buzz!
However, most of the energy shells were deflected and deflected by the superconducting magnetic field of the prototype power armor.
Although the shells were too dense, causing the magnetic field to quickly overload and fail, the remaining shells could not do anything to the mithril alloy armor in a short period of time, leaving only a few burn marks.
Moreover, at this moment, Vulcan had already rushed into the enemy group, swung the frost giant hammer that had been forged and "blessed" by his father for the second time, and launched a unilateral killing.
Bang——!!
Chi——!!
Facing the swift hammer wind, this group of soldier ants would die if they were touched, and they were completely unable to organize an effective counterattack.
In fact, when the soldier ants faced the ODST and AECS, as well as the boarding troops composed of biological weapons and combat mechas, the only effective means of attack was the "human" sea tactics.
Unfortunately, the number of these "little" soldier ants was not even 500, how could they make the Primarch feel threatened? Moreover, Vulcan was still a Primarch who was very good at close combat.
Just as the soldier ants' attention was completely taken away by Vulcan, the row of hunters who were responsible for providing support also turned the corner and launched alternating volleys of gunfire in groups of three.
Ta! Ta!
Ri~ Whoosh! Whoosh!
The unique sound of the Gauss guns, BFG plasma guns and .30cal smart machine guns began to spread in this open area.
In less than a minute, the Primarch and the hunters completed the sweep of this place, and more than half of the soldier ants died under Vulcan's frost hammer.
