From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 309: The Underground World Living Shield Emphasizes Education and Completely Collapses
In the underground tunnel;
Boom, boom.

The sound of magnetic boots stepping on the ground echoed underground.

A squad of Sons of Man led by Tarvitz, together with a squad of Raven Guard and Space Wolves, totaling 18 young Astartes, were seen steadily moving through the underground world with a unique ecological environment.

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

Mycelium covers the tunnel walls, and some giant mushroom-like plants even provide light here.

Wow~Wow.
In addition, they could hear the turbulence of the underground river.

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

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

With their extraordinary vision and the help of helmet screens, they can clearly see all kinds of creatures living beneath 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 before him, Captain Wild Wolf, who was half-crouching beside a low cliff with the words "Logan Sigurd" engraved on his chest, looked at the intricate tunnel entrances and exits and said with emotion:
"Those bastards are really good at running, but we only have three Earth days to kill them. That's not enough time to kill them all. Alas!"

At the end, the Wolf Captain named Logan Sigurd shook his head and sighed, as if he thought that the 72-hour cleanup operation would not allow them to kill to their heart's content.

And this 72-hour cleanup operation also needs to include the costs of returning to the front-line base.

Putting aside the steps of tracking, searching and returning, the overall probability of encountering the main force of the orcs is actually very low, not to mention capturing the humanoid queen mentioned by Perturabo.

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

However, when the wild wolves express their emotions and complaints, they are only complaining after they have confirmed that the surrounding environment is safe.

Although they seem to be unreliable and unrighteous, they will never put themselves or their friendly brothers in danger.

However, the Dark Raven Captain, whose chest armor had "Alvares Maun" engraved on it, ignored Logan's complaints.

Mao En, who was wearing a white helmet with a "bird's beak"-like front end, looked around at the empty space in front of him and said:
"According to the information provided by the Intelligence Department, the reason why the underground of Sera has become so complicated and has created a unique ecological environment is 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 this is the case, the Riftworm is a living tunnel boring machine!"

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

"The Biological Department has issued a request to our tactical teams to obtain samples of rift worms. If we are lucky enough to encounter one, perhaps we can make the company's biological weapons more diverse.

At worst, the rift worms cultivated by the Biology Department can also improve the efficiency of the engineering team's underground construction."

"Yeah." Hearing this, Logan nodded in agreement:

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

As the wolf captain spoke, he stood up and leaped forward, landing directly on the underground river bank below.

"Woohoo~!"

The wolves followed their captain's example and jumped away from where they were.

Seeing this, Tarvitz said to Maun:

"Since the chances of capturing the queen are slim, let's put our luck on searching for the living TBM."

"Okay." Mao En had no objection.

The Sons of Man and the Raven Guard also exited the tunnel and joined up with the Space Wolves below.

Then, a group of "giant" young men, whose heights increased to more than two meters after wearing power armor, began to focus on searching for rift worms.

Buzz~Buzz——!
Moreover, the metal detection ball, which emitted the sound of a magnetic levitation engine, quickly rushed into the intricate tunnels leading deeper underground.

Before the detection ball sent back detailed information, the eighteen young people chose to stay in the cave to rest for the time being, and free up manpower to collect mycelium and tissue samples of luminous mushrooms.

The Biology Department can be said to "recruit everyone who comes".

Whenever there are animals or plants that are different from those in the main universe or other universes, the Biology Department will make time and arrange technical personnel to analyze and study them.

What's more, among all departments, the Biology Department has the richest talent pool.

After all, the total number of adults graduating from the main universe every year is as high as more than 4000 million.

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

For example, in Seattle, where Atlas was born, there are two private universities founded by Atlas, as well as many small, medium and high schools.

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

In line with cities like New Accra, which are wholly owned by Atlas, and even countries controlled by it, 4% to 7% of the graduates of the main universe each year set their ambitions to become Atlas from the moment they leave campus.

If the entire universe is added, then the various departments of Atlas will not have the phenomenon of "lack of successors" or "lack of strength".

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 values, outlook on life and values ​​and sound personalities, so that they can correctly guide and educate all students.

If there is a problem 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 a company is, it cannot maintain high salaries and benefits to recruit tens of millions of new employees every year.

As for the Biology Department, which has a high voice within the company, it is one of the most sought-after departments for newcomers.

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

Beep-beep-!

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

?

This instantly caught their attention.

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

The warning sound caused Tarvitz, Logan, Maun and others to immediately zoom in on the map.

When the map was zoomed in, they found another cavity six kilometers to the north, which was marked with densely packed red dots by the detector.

This indicates that there are a large number of moving objects in the hole, and there is a high probability that they are the remaining fleeing orcs.

!!!

Noticing the red dots marked by the detector, which were suspected to be the scum they were chasing, Logan and all the wolves became excited.

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

Therefore, the Space Wolves were not allowed to move out at will, so Logan turned his head to look at the well-dressed Tarvitz and said:
"Brother! What do you think we should do?"

"Of course I'm going to investigate."

Tarvitz waved his hand to the north and said quickly:

"The wolves lead the way, the crows provide support, and the human is in the middle. We are heading towards the cave six kilometers to the north."

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

After hearing Tarvitz's order, Logan couldn't hide his joy and shouted, and was the first to rush towards the tunnel leading to the target location. "Finally, we can have a good fight!"

"Merit! Trophies!!"

The wild wolves also let out strange war cries and charged forward following their captain.

In contrast, the Dark Crows remained silent, scattered on the left and right of the Wild Wolf Squad, and kept a certain distance to ensure that they could provide fire support to the Wild Wolves.

The Son of Man followed the two brother teams, while taking care of their rear to avoid being attacked from the front and back.

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

Based on the young Astartes' efficiency in killing the enemies, the battle might have ended the moment the two sides came into contact.

So whoever arrives first can get more enemies killed and have more achievements written on his resume.

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

Tarvitz acted in this way naturally because he hoped to establish good relations with the brothers of the two teams and lay a good foundation for the future.

After the establishment of the empire, the legion will also be established, and all Astartes will learn from their respective gene 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 considered more.

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

This is why Tarvitz arranged the wolves and crows to walk in the front.

If Perturabo arranges Logan to lead the team, then given the wolf's temperament,
The wild wolf will still be in front.

Of course, as the Primarch, even Perturabo, who had just reached adulthood, understood the personalities of young Astartes such as the Sons of Man and the Raven Guard.

Therefore, the captain position arranged by Perturabo is helpful to promote the relationship between different groups of students.

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

Only after the Biological Department has cultivated his gene seeds and implanted them into the bodies of the first batch of adapters can he obtain a group of students or a future legion under his command.

However, it would take at least half a year, or even longer, for him to have his own Astartes under his command.

at this time.

The distance of six kilometers passed in a flash.

The eighteen young Astartes activated the "running mode" and in just a moment they passed through the complex tunnel and arrived at the higher entrance.

The wolves who first passed 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 emitted by the orcs echoed in this huge underground cave.

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

However, the "orcs" who were more than three times larger than the orcs, as well as various underground creatures, were chasing and blocking them when they tried to retreat.

The most important thing is that the "orcs" and underground creatures that besieged them actually emitted a strange fluorescent light all over their bodies.

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

Fluorescent family.

The moment they saw the mutated orcs and underground creatures, the wild wolves realized that they were all infected by Im matter and turned into manic, intellectually retarded zombie-like puppets.

Furthermore, when the helmet screen scans the fluorescent people, it will provide them with relevant data compiled by the Intelligence Department, as well as information on how to effectively fight against them.

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

"Huh! The fluorescent tribe and the beastmen are gathered together?"

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

Before he even landed and stood firmly, he shouted loudly on the communication:

"Boys! Don't miss this great opportunity to gain merit!! Kill them!!"

"kill!!"

A group of wild wolves jumped down one after another.

Boom, boom!

Their own weight and the combined weight of their weapons and equipment, such as power armor, bolt guns, and plasma cannons, reached tons, but they managed to smash six shallow pits in the hollow ground.

Then, the wolves took advantage of the moment when the fluorescent tribe and the orcs failed to react and immediately raised their guns and shot.

Clang clang clang!!

Ri~咻——! !

Standard explosive arrows and high-energy plasma suddenly intertwined in the already chaotic underground cavity.

???

The sudden attack of gunfire made the remaining orcs extremely confused.

However, after they saw the large number of fluorescent creatures starting to explode and shatter in pieces, they looked like they had "survived a disaster."

As if to say, "Finally saved!"

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

Not only were the fluorescents exploded and shattered, 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 hissed with horror:

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

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

When the remaining orcs heard the roar and turned their eyes in the direction of the Space Wolves, they found that six Dark Ravens had activated their jet packs and were attacking the core of their position.

!!!

Seeing this scene, fear quickly swept over 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 human sons rushed out of the tunnel and joined the battle, the psychological defenses of the remaining orcs completely collapsed.
