Chapter 309: Underground World, Living Shield, Emphasis on Education, Complete Collapse

in underground tunnels;

Boom, boom.

The sound of magnetic boots trampling echoed underground.

I saw the Sons of Man team led by Tarvez, and a team of Raven Guard and Space Wolves, a total of 18 young Astartes, steadily traveling through the underground world with a unique ecological environment.

The space here was surprisingly spacious and not as dark as they had imagined before entering.

Mycelium is all over the tunnel walls, and some giant mushroom-like plants are even providing light here.

Wow~Wow.

Additionally, they could hear the turbulence of underground rivers.

Passing through the corner of the tunnel, a group of "little" young people came to a more spacious and vast underground space.

Standing at the entrance and exit of the tunnel, you can see unique rock structures and underground plants.

With their unusual vision and the assistance of the helmet screen, they can clearly see all kinds of creatures living under the surface.

Of course, they could also find various traces left here by the remnants of the orcs when they retreated.

"Tsk tsk."

Witnessing the scene in front of him, the Wild Wolf Captain squatted beside a low cliff with the words "Logan Sigurd" engraved on his chest. He looked at the intricate entrances and exits of different tunnels and sighed:

"Those stinky things can really run away, but they only have three Earth days to operate, which is not enough for us to kill, hey!"

At the end of the story, the wolf captain named Logan Sigurd shook his head and sighed, as if he thought that the 72-hour cleaning operation would not be enough to kill them all.

And this 72-hour cleaning operation also needs to include the consumption of returning to the frontline base.

Putting aside the steps of tracking, searching, and returning, the overall probability of encountering the main force of the orcs was actually very low, let alone capturing the humanoid queen mentioned by Perturabo.

Thinking that they could not earn enough military merit in these 72 hours, all the wild wolves were a little depressed, and some even complained, just like impatient "Huskies".

However, when they express emotions and complaints, they are all complaints made by wild wolves after confirming that the nearby environment is safe.

Although they seem to be out of tune and out of line, they will never put themselves and their friendly brothers in danger.

The Raven Captain, who had "Alvarez Morn" engraved on his breastplate, ignored Logan's complaints.

Mao En, who was wearing a helmet painted white and with the front end shaped like a "bird's beak", glanced around the empty space in front and said:

"According to the information provided by the Intelligence Department, what makes the underground of Thera Star so intricate and creates a unique ecological environment is all related to a type of creature called the Rift Worm, which is ten kilometers long."

"ten kilometers?"

Logan was stunned and exclaimed:

"Isn't this longer than the company's ordinary ships? Wait, if you look at it this way, the Rift Worm is a living shield machine!"

"Yes." Mao En did not deny it and said:

"The Biology Department has issued a request for help from our tactical team to obtain Rift Worm samples. If we are lucky enough to encounter one, it may be able to diversify the company's biological weapons.

Even worse, the riftworm cultivated by the Department of Biology can also improve the efficiency of the engineering team's underground construction. "

"Yeah" Hearing this, Logan nodded and agreed:

"This is also a good opportunity to earn merit! Boys! Let's go!!"

As the Wolf Captain said this, he stood up and jumped forward, landing directly next to the underground river bank below.

"Woohoo~!"

And all the wild wolves also imitated their captain and jumped away from their places.

Seeing this, Tavitz said to Mao En:

"Since the probability of capturing the queen is extremely slim, let's put our luck in searching for a living shield machine."

"Okay." Mao En had no objection.

The Sons of Man and the Raven Guard also left the entrance and exit of the tunnel and joined the Space Wolves below.

Then, a group of "giant" youths whose height increased to two meters after wearing power armor began to focus on searching for rift insects.

Buzz~buzz——!

Moreover, the metal detection ball, which emits the sound of a magnetic levitation engine, quickly rushes into the intricate tunnels that lead deeper into the ground.

Before the detection ball returned the details, the eighteen young people chose to stay in this cave for the time being to rest and free up their manpower to collect tissue samples of mycelium and glowing mushrooms.

The Department of Biology can say that "no one is rejected".

For any animals and plants that are different from the main universe and other universes, the Biology Department will squeeze out time and arrange technical personnel to analyze and study them.

What's more, among all departments, the Biology Department has an extremely rich talent pool.

After all, the total number of adults graduating from the main universe every year is more than 40 million.

As the home base of Atlas, Earth, the main universe, has naturally not neglected education during its establishment, development and expansion in the past hundred years.

For example, Seattle, the birthplace of Atlas, has two private universities founded by Atlas, as well as many small, middle and high schools.

Moreover, those two universities focus on biology, electronics and engineering.

With a city like New Accra fully controlled by Atlas, and even a country controlled by Atlas, 4% to 7% of the main universe's annual graduates set their ambitions to be Acra from the moment they leave campus. Truss.

If the entire universe is included, then the various departments of Atlas will not have the phenomenon of "lack of success" or "failure to succeed" at all.

This is one of the reasons why Atlas can continue to develop.

After all, Suiyang attaches great importance to education, especially the strict control of teacher resources to ensure that teachers have correct views and sound personalities, so that they can correctly guide and educate all students.

If there is something wrong with the roots, how can we expect the green leaves to be "healthy"?

Of course, Atlas will also screen out candidates who are suitable for recruitment.

No matter how rich the company is, it cannot maintain high salaries and benefits and recruit tens of millions of new people every year.

As for the biology department, which has a higher say in the company, it is one of the departments that newcomers most yearn for.

The young Astartes pay attention to the battle, hoping to gain merit through it, and the newcomers who join the Biological Department, and who are transferred to the "War Machine" universe according to the orders of their superiors, also want to use the analysis reports of local creatures to improve themselves status and value.

Beep-beep-!

A few minutes after releasing the metal detection ball, a group of young people heard the reminder sound coming from the helmet screen.

?

This instantly caught their attention.

The detector has scanned the structure nearby and displayed a thumbnail map in the upper left corner of the helmet.

The reminder sound caused Tarvitz, Logan, Mao En and others to immediately zoom in on the thumbnail map.

When the map was zoomed in, they discovered that another cavity six kilometers to the north had dense red dots marked by the detector.

This shows that there are a large number of moving objects in that cavity, and there is a high probability that they are the remaining orcs who fled.

! ! !

Realizing that the red dots marked by the detectors were suspected to be the bastards they were chasing, Logan and all the wolves were immediately excited.

However, according to Perturabo's assignment, the temporary commander of their joint team was Saul Tarvitz, the captain of the Sons of Man.

Therefore, the Space Wolves were not allowed to move out at will, so Logan turned to look at the well-dressed Tarvitz and said:

"Brother! What do you think we should do?"

"Of course I'm going to investigate."

Tavitz waved his hand to the north and said quickly:

“The wild wolves are opening the way, the crows are supporting them, and the Son of Man is in the middle, heading towards the hollow six kilometers to the north.”

"Hahaha! They are indeed good brothers! Boys, let's go!!"

After hearing Tarvitz's order clearly, Logan roared with joy and was the first to rush towards the tunnel leading to the target location.

"Finally I can have a good fight!"

"Achievements! Trophies!!"

A group of wild wolves also let out strange war roars and followed their captain to charge.

On the other hand, the Dark Crows remained silent, scattered around the Wolf team, and kept a certain distance to ensure that they could provide fire support to the Wolf team.

Son of Man, on the other hand, followed the two brother teams, taking care of their rear to avoid being attacked from both front and rear.

According to Tarvitz's order, the first people to come into contact with the red mark were the Wolf and the Dark Crow.

And depending on the efficiency of the young Astartes in annihilating enemies, the battle might come to an end the moment the two sides come into contact.

So whoever comes first will get more enemy kills and write more achievements on their resume.

So Tarvitz's order is equivalent to giving the first credit to the Space Wolves and the Raven Guard team.

Tarvez acted like this, naturally hoping to build a good relationship with the brothers of the two teams and lay a solid foundation for the future.

After the establishment of the Empire, legions will be established accordingly, and all Astartes will also know from their respective genetic fathers that their "grandfather" Sui Yang will issue corresponding rewards according to their merits.

Therefore, competition among student groups is fierce.

But the Astartes of the Sons of Man, including their Primarch Fulgrim, clearly thought more.

Maintaining good cooperative relationships with various legions is one of the important "indicators" of their cadet corps.

This is why Tarvitz arranged for the Wild Wolf and the Dark Crow to take the lead.

If Perturabo arranges for Logan to lead the team, then with the temper of the wild wolf.

It will still be the wild wolf who leads the way.

Of course, as a Primarch, even Perturabo, who had just grown up, understood the character of young Astartes such as the Sons of Man and the Raven Guard.

Therefore, the captain position arranged by Perturabo is to help promote the relationship between different student groups.

Moreover, in Perturabo's eyes, efficiency always ranks first, but he also wants to make the integration more "beautiful".

Only after the biology department has finished cultivating his gene seeds and implanted them into the first batch of adapters can he obtain a student group or a future legion under his command.

However, it will take at least half a year, or even longer, to have his own Astartes.

at this time.

The distance of six kilometers flew by in an instant.

The eighteen young Astartes who turned on the "running mode" passed through the complex terrain of the tunnel and reached the higher entrance and exit in just a moment.

The wolves who were the first to pass through the tunnel heard it immediately;

"Hoo!! These annoying guys!"

"Dodge!! Avoid direct contact with the opponent!"

"Sir, where should we retreat to?"

The roars from the orcs echoed in this huge underground cavity.

Thousands of orc infantry, as well as a few non-commissioned officers and lieutenants, seemed to want to retreat deeper underground.

However, the "orcs" who are more than three times larger than the orcs, as well as various underground creatures, are chasing them and intercepting them who want to retreat.

The most important thing is that the "orcs" and underground creatures that besiege them are actually emitting strange fluorescence.

Some of the "orcs" have been severely deformed, with terrifying tentacles on their backs, arms and legs, making their already hideous faces even more disgusting.

Fluorescent tribe.

The moment they saw the mutated orcs and underground creatures, the wild wolves realized that they were all infected by the Im substance and turned into manic and low-intelligence zombie puppets.

Moreover, when the helmet screen scanned the fluorescent tribe, it would provide them with relevant data compiled by the Intelligence Department and information on how to effectively fight against them.

After all, the Intelligence Department was able to "foresee the future" mostly because Sui Yang provided assistance in secret.

"Huh! The fluorescent tribe and the orcs are all together?"

However, Logan did not have the leisure to figure out how the Intelligence Department knew about the enemies of this universe in advance. After he gave a metallic disdain, he was the first to jump forward.

And before he landed and stood firmly, he shouted on the communication:

"Boys! Don't miss the good opportunity to make achievements! Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

A group of wild wolves jumped down one after another.

Boom, boom!

Their own weight and weapons and equipment such as power armor, bolt guns, and plasma cannons added up to tons, and they smashed six shallow pits in the hollow ground.

Then, a group of wild wolves took advantage of the gap when the fluorescent tribe and the orcs failed to react and immediately raised their guns and fired.

Clang clang clang!!

Ri~咻——!!

Standard bolts and high-energy plasma suddenly intertwined in the already chaotic underground cave.

??? ?

The sudden gunfire made the remaining orcs feel extremely confused.

But when they saw a large number of fluorescent tribes bursting and shattering in pieces, they showed a look of "surviving the disaster".

As if saying "finally saved!"

However.

Puff——!

Sizzle——!

However, the orcs soon discovered that those standard bolts and high-energy plasma were indiscriminate attacks.

Not only were the fluorescent tribes bursting and shattering, but they were also hit hard.

"Yes, yes."

At this time, an orc discovered that it was the Space Wolves who joined the battle, and screamed with horror:

"It's the group of giants on the surface!!!"

The roar immediately resounded throughout the underground cave, and even the sound of gunfire could not cover it.

When the remaining orcs who heard the roar turned their eyes in the direction of the Space Wolves, they found that six Ravens activated their jet packs and rushed straight to the core of their position.

! ! !

Seeing this, fear quickly swept through every orc present.

In terms of height and physique, they are also "giants".

But in terms of actual combat power, the young Astartes completely "ravaged" them.

After Tarvitz's Son of Man also rushed out of the tunnel and joined the battle, the psychological defense of the remaining orcs was completely collapsed.
