The handling before leaving was actually very simple. It was nothing more than pretending that all the personnel in the facility had died in the crash, and that the entire facility had suffered logical damage during the crash, so as to completely cover up the "landing unit" Truth - this is a must-have quality for an actor.
It is not difficult to fake the deaths of people, because Hao Ren and his little friends have never shown their faces in front of the Corruptors from the beginning to the end, so the Corruptors have no idea who is behind the drone group. The activities on the surface of Kedar Fortress are all various types of drones and autonomous mechanical units. If the Corruptors had monitored the surface of the fortress at that time, all they could see were those mechanical life forms.
So leave a bunch of empty shells of autonomous machines and drones in the command station and you're done.
Before coming here, Hao Ren asked Nolan to use the built-in factory modules of the Giant Turtle Rock to produce a large number of autonomous machines and primitive drones without a central chip installed. area in order to give the illusion that they are the operators of the facility.
At the same time, he also erased all human-related traces in the central control room: those ergonomic seats and handles, as well as the manual control panel, were all burnt to a pile of residue by the automatic melting program set in advance , and these things are the only items with human traces in the entire command station.
The plan was very careful from the very beginning. Only drones, autonomous machines, and guardian giants are active in front of the Corruptors. The real controllers like Hao Ren are still "ghosts" that have never shown up in front of the Corrupted Legion. Those monsters never imagined that such a group of infiltrators they had never seen had landed on their planetary battleship, and the clues they could find in the crashed command station would cover this up even more.
After finishing the "personnel" camouflage, Hao Ren ordered to shut down all the energy sources of the command station, and activated the countdown bombs set in advance at each support point. When these bombs were detonated, the entire command station would undergo a large-scale landslide and severe disintegration. In this way, the fact that "the inertial suppressor protects the core area" will also be erased.
They finally stood on the land of Amantir.
Considering the complex situation of this planet, various accidents may occur, and various professionals are required to prepare for any situation that may arise, so except that Doudou, which is too small, was left on the giant turtle rock platform The manpower brought by Hao Ren was dispatched in full this time. Taking advantage of the huge ground fissures and uplifted earth and rocks near the crash crater as cover, the group first stayed away from the wreckage of the attached island that was gradually disintegrating and collapsing, and then found a slightly higher place nearby, overlooking the entire area.
The land of Amantil seems to be soaked in dark blood, and the entire surface is glowing with a disturbing and depressing dark red color, and on this dark red land, cracked gullies and canyons can be seen everywhere, poisonous Steam and plumes of smoke constantly spewed from these fissures, covering the whole area in a hazy mist.
Hao Ren looked through the thin but poisonous mist, and saw many huge black silhouettes standing on the horizon in the distance. Those were anti-space cannons pointing to space or temple spiers used for battle. Those once sacred things are now It has been transformed by the power of madness, and the chaotic energy filled in it has just destroyed hundreds of thousands of drones and a large number of guardian battleships. Even at this moment, a small part of those black silhouettes are still emitting Light, their tips flashed from time to time—that was the drone army and guardian warships that were still chasing and evacuating in space.
In the other direction, the terrain is obviously sunken, and a bright red light rises from the end of the horizon, as if a round of sun is about to rise from there. Countless small black spots that look like mosquitoes are here. Flying in the background of that group of red light is the position of the "equatorial rift" that almost cuts off the entire planet from space, and those small black spots that look like mosquitoes are actually An army of corrupt giants and cyborg monsters.
The surface of Amantir is not barren of grass. In fact, there is even an extremely lush "ecosystem" here, but all life has been distorted by the crazy power into a hideous and terrifying posture. On the dark red earth, huge tangled plants stick out of the ground like swollen limbs, trembling and wriggling in the wind containing poisonous gas, and there are many strange things shaped like mushrooms growing between rocks and gravel. Their huge canopy can almost cover a house—Amantil used to have the same green hills and green waters as the other two planetary fortresses on the surface ecology, but after the power of the crazy lord was completely diffused, all surviving All the plants turned into this distorted and weird appearance.
But these giant plants aren't useless, at least... they serve as cover.
"It's disgusting..." Lily held her nose and looked at a squirming ribbon plant nearby. It had broad leaves and thick stems, but the leaves were covered with bulges like blood vessels, and the whole plant looked like an animal. Writhing around on the ground, this san-reducing thing made the husky girl stand upside down, even though she was wearing a life support collar, Lily still covered her nose the whole time as if smelling disgusting, while still complaining, " I feel like I won’t be able to write Xiaoqing after going back to this planet... "
"When did you write Xiaoqingqing?" Vivienne was also quite resistant to the environment on the surface of Amantil, but she couldn't lose the wind in front of the husky spirit, and immediately began to mock, "Don't think I don't know, you now have nothing but Writing a review on dog food tasting is like writing about two men hugging each other and chewing on each other, if it’s still clear, the whole world won’t be dirty!”
Lily stared: "Who said I only write these! I also wrote Max Factor's commentary and the martial arts of the Republic of China!"
Vivienne folded her arms and sighed: "Can we forget about the events around 1930?"
Hao Ren glanced at the pair of enemies helplessly, and looked up at a black shadow in the distance: "According to the information Salaman gave us, the control center of Amantir is over there, and it is next to the Equatorial Rift Valley. , there are a large number of Corruptors stationed nearby, and the Amantir crystal is stored there underground."
Lily scratched her hair: "A lot of people are stationed? Then how do we get in?"
Nangong Sanba stared at her dumbfounded: "...didn't you listen in the previous meeting?"
Lily's face was full of innocence: "I can't help but fall asleep in the second half."
Hao Ren sighed: "There are several underground passages—actually, they are all ventilation pipes of the facility. Given the size of the guardian giant, these ventilation pipes are not considered entrances and exits at all, so the monitoring of them by the Corruptors should be very low. We can use them from there." go in."
Lily smacked her lips: "What a big loophole—those monsters aren't very smart."
"It's not a question of whether they are smart or not, but that they have been fighting the guardian giants all along, and their thinking has long been formed, and they will not even think of such details for a while," Hao Ren explained, "It's like you are fighting with human beings. When playing hide and seek, do you think of looking for someone in a shoebox?"
Lily nodded: "Yes, Doudou usually hides there—but I can always find it with my nose."
Hao Ren stared blankly with his mouth open, and slapped his forehead: "...Why am I explaining so much to a husky!"
While talking, the group continued to move forward.
The landing point of this operation was carefully discussed and planned. It is not very far from the destination, which is the control center where the Amantir crystal is stored, but it is not in the area where various defensive facilities of the Corrupted Legion are densely populated—although from Dropping into space and smashing down a large swath of the Corruptor's buildings sounds like a cool thing to do, but the idea has to be put aside in order not to be surrounded by the monster army that swarms in afterward.
There is a section of hilly area from the landing point to the Amantir control center. This area is open and lacks shelter. If those monsters organize a wave of aerial reconnaissance teams, the chances of Hao Ren and his party being discovered will be greatly increased. Still safe and sound.
Because the attention of the Legion of Corruption has not yet shifted back from the battlefield in space.
The drones and the Guardian Legion have indeed retreated from the front line, making a gesture of "the fortress was severely damaged and the army gave up the attack", but they did not completely retreat, but established a large army in a place that Amantir could observe. Stack space bunkers and firepower platforms, as if preparing to fight a protracted war right under the nose of the opponent. The Corruptors have always had the upper hand in these thousands of years of war. How has there ever been such an embarrassing situation where they were forced to build a bunker at the door of their house by several times their forces? But the huge drone swarm was always patrolling the edge of the battlefield, preventing the commander of the Corruptor from attacking rashly, so the defenders on the Amantir side were drawn a lot of attention.
As a result, the defense and surveillance on the surface of the planet Amantil was inevitably affected.
But this containment shouldn't last long, Hao Ren always remembers that Amantir is a planetary battleship, and a battleship... can run away.
If the Supreme Commander of the Corruptor realizes that the Guardians and the Drone Legion are a completely invincible force, and is determined to give up his coveted heart for the Hub, then the entire Amantir should turn around and rush into the depths of the universe. No one can stop it.
However, in the previous discussion, Salaman believed that even if Amantir finally chooses to escape, it will not be in such a short period of time: Corruption and Opening the Gate of Heaven have been tossing in the Holy Land for so many years, just like the mission of the Guardian is to protect the hub, Destroying the hub is also the "mission" of those monsters. If they are not forced to the last moment, those monsters should not easily choose to give up this place.
…
The majestic temple building stands in the distance, and all kinds of deformed monsters fly around the temple, patrolling the entire area.
Although a lot of energy was involved in the battle in space, the Corruption Legion's defense of its command headquarters could not be relaxed. Here, it is the limit of surface operations.
Behind a pile of strange rocks that looked like scattered blades, everyone stopped. Hao Ren lowered his body and raised his finger to a metal gate protruding from the ground not far away: "That's one of the entrances to the ventilation pipe."
The data terminal floated into the air: "Stable airflow can be sensed, and the interior should be unimpeded."
Hao Ren nodded: "We'll go in from here."
