Chapter 855: Take risks
"You don't have to accompany me."
Soshiyan looked back at Talos. Like everyone else, his armor was covered with residual liquid metal, and the heavy ceramic steel armor had been carved with scars from the battle.
Fortunately, neither of them looked injured.
"Don't say it. If something happens to you, I will have to eat Sevita at that time."
Talos's words made Soshiyan stop.
"Seveta... How is he doing recently?"
"It should be fine."
Although this was the first time Talos took the initiative to mention Seveta in front of him, Soshiyan guessed that the opponent should have a way to contact Seveta.
Soshiyan has been curious about the disappearance of Seveta for more than 20 years, but it is embarrassing to ask some questions. If the other party is doing something that is unfavorable to the empire, then what will he have to deal with it then?
Rather than doing this, it is better to turn a deaf ear.
"The space necromancer cannot hurt me, you don't have to worry."
Before going underground, Soshiyan had asked other soldiers and wailers to retreat first, leaving only a thunder eagle on the ground.
If Malakin knew, he would definitely object, so Soshyan deliberately asked the other party to leave first in the Thunder Eagle before announcing his decision.
The company commanders of the Astral Knights naturally disagreed, but Soshiyang suppressed all the opposition this time with extreme toughness.
Fortunately, Talos gave everyone a reassurance, and he told everyone that at a critical moment, he would use his "psychic energy" to take Soshiyan away-
Of course, Soshiyan knew very well that Talos did not have any psychic power, and this was just an excuse for him to follow him.
But he couldn't refuse.
As they continued to move deeper into the ground, Soshiyan kept observing the surroundings.
Although the space necromancers did not launch an attack, Soshyan could still see their outlines moving in the dark ruins like ink, causing his sensors to constantly warn him to pay attention to enemies he could not see.
Occasionally they would make a stance of preparation for charge, but would hide back into the shadows the moment Soshyang raised his sword.
As he continued to deepen, Soshiyan found that the underground tomb was wider than he expected, but the battle a few hours ago had caused some damage to it, and some places and even the entire walls were destroyed, perhaps due to heavy weapons.
Originally, the glorious buildings from ancient times should have been displayed here, but now they have turned into ruins and turned into dust under Soshiyang's feet.
"According to the scan, there should be a channel hub ahead."
Soshyan pulled his thoughts back to this mission.
"After we get there, we may be able to get closer to our goal."
"That's really good."
Talos responded:
"The sooner we leave, the better. Listen to the sound, there are metal dead people everywhere in this ghost place."
"Stop complaining, I didn't force you to come here, Talos."
"Yes, but if I don't have anyone to wipe your butt?"
Soshiyan snorted. Although he didn't want to admit it, Talos's cold joke still made him feel at ease.
The two followed the instructions of Buyi toward a certain connection area in the underground space. They posed for defense more than once on the road because they saw the thin body of the alien hiding in other corridors or holes on the wall.
But just like before, they retreated before contacting each time, as if they were a group of kids playing tracking games.
After that, they will follow them from all directions, challenging Astart's patience before the next attack.
Soshiyan suspected that these aliens were tempting them to waste ammunition. He twice stopped Talos from melting the passage with a hot melt gun. Although the gun was already full of ammunition, it was not endless. If these aliens dared to rush up, Soshiyan would not mind melting them again with grey.
And the space undead, or the manipulator behind them, seemed to have known this, so they never launched a reckless attack.
For Soshiyan, this also represents this explanation: there is also a space undead lord nearby - that is, the so-called "thief".
Because the space undead are not much different from other wild beasts, they will only act according to the logical instincts of their brains, but a lord can turn them into a disciplined army with one thought.
This is the enemy they are facing: their enemies will not hesitate to sacrifice a hundred times more for the enemy's casualties, without even blinking.
After all, this is the most powerful weapon of the Necromancer.
"Don't worry about them, speed up."
They speeded up and kept moving forward.
Occasionally, the underground palace would shake slightly, as if resonating with the sound of explosions on the ground.
But the sound of the alien crawling never disappeared, and Bird Buyi kept warning them that there were invisible enemies around them.
Time is getting less and less.
"It sounds like every alien in this urban area is coming towards us."
Talos whispered.
"Seriously, I do regret it."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Soshiyang pointed his sword at the reinforced gate of the front hub, or a black stone wall.
“We’re here.”
He did not stop, but walked straight to the gate full of alien runes.
The metal crunched as he pulled his hands, and after he pulled out a gap, Talos inserted two grenades into it.
The next second, with a loud bang, a huge hole was blown open.
Before he entered, Soshiyang noticed that the birdbuyi showed that there was only one vital sign in it, if that thing could be considered life.
Because this sign is extremely weak.
“There are still living people in this place??”
Talos glanced at Bird Buyi and looked surprised.
"I'm afraid there isn't, at least there isn't the kind of survivor you'd expect."
Soshiyan replied simply:
"bring it on."
He squeezed through the gap in the crack of the door, and Talos followed and walked into the hall three thousand meters underground.
The wide space on the other side of the door was filled with rubble. The door failed to block the war from the door, and the walls and ceiling of the room were severely damaged.
Soshiyan even noticed the fortifications that were rushing up in the room. Two rows of black sculptures were placed parallel to both sides of the central aisle. They were almost all overturned to the ground and broken into piles of stones.
"It's the mechanical creator. They've been here a long time ago."
Soshiyan looked at the blood on the ground, the broken red robes and fragments of laser plasma weapons.
"The signal just now should be this."
Talos lifted a large piece of rubble, revealing a struggling slave below.
The soulless worker kept twisting, and sparks popped up from time to time. It was obvious that his body had been damaged to the point where it could not be repaired.
