From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 319: Boarding the enemy to stop the massacre?

Buzz.~!!
The faint sound emitted by the plasma force field was extremely loud in the ears of all the guards.

But at this moment, they had no intention of paying attention to the double-edged energy sword formed by the plasma force field.

Because the passage between here and cargo area 04 was blocked by several "people" who were looking down at them.

Those unidentified "people" were about two meters one or two meters tall, taller than Axifu and Birusaludo among them.

In addition, those unidentified "people" wore full-coverage armor with silver paint, and the binocular monitors on their helmets emitted a faint red light. Their leg structures were also very different from those of humans.
Obviously an alien.

"Huhu."

Witnessing the oppressive invaders up close, the human guards' heartbeats and breathing immediately became more rapid, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

There was no way out. This group of survivors had been exiled in deep space for more than twenty Earth years.

Even though they are soldiers and warriors now, and each of them has a corresponding military rank, the vast majority of them have grown up and lived on spaceships since they were born.

When they grow up, they start military training in the limited space on the spacecraft.
Not to mention that they haven't had many opportunities to engage in live-fire shooting training, so naturally they can't be like veterans and be able to calmly deal with any emergency.

On the other hand, Axif and Birusaludo, who belonged to the long-lived race, were briefly surprised and then quickly raised their guns to shoot.

However, before they could react, those "aliens", or those several elite veterans, had already taken substantive action.

"Ow!"

The elite veterans let out their unique battle cry and rushed into the escort team of more than sixty people at an extremely fast speed, taking two steps at a time.

Buzz~——chi——chila——!!

Then, with a burst of plasma force field, the sound of easily cutting through the protective clothing and cutting off the flesh was heard.
"Fire! Fire!"

"Don't just stand there like an idiot!!"

Da da da--!!!
The human guards seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and launched their first volley of gunfire at the elite veterans who were wildly swinging their double-edged swords and "slaughtering" Axif and Birusaludo.

Buzz! Buzz~!

However, light weapons of this level are simply unable to break through the energy shield of elite armor.

The shield emitted a pale yellow glow, deflecting all bullets from submachine guns and rifles.

Whoosh. Whoosh——!
"Forehead!"

"Ah!! My legs!"

The ricocheted bullets that were deflected and shattered by the shields flew around the not-so-spacious deck corridors, hitting a few unlucky human guards.

This caused wailing and screaming to ensue.

"No no! Don't kill me!!"

"Run! Run!!"

Seeing the elite veterans quickly dealing with their comrades like chopping melons and vegetables, and the weapons in their hands were unable to break the elite veterans' shields, the remaining human guards completely collapsed.

This group of "kids", who were only about twenty years old, were frightened and fled in the direction they came from.

Of course, the main reason they were able to escape was that the elites were too lazy to pay attention or attack.

Although the elites looked down on those who deserted from the battlefield, the superior's order specifically mentioned "ensuring the safety of one or two humans at the cost of one's own life."

Therefore, the elite veterans chose to fight against the multiple races of Axisif and Birusaru. As for the one or two humans in the "Godzilla" universe, they were spared.

Tread!

At this time, two teams of twelve ODST also arrived here one after another.

After years of development, ODST's individual equipment has also been improved.

It is a fully covered mechanical skeleton close to the MacP power armor, and an energy shield generator similar to that used by the Jackal is installed on the arm armor of the left forearm.

Combined with hard-light firearms, its firepower output and protection attributes are considered the best among all Atlas armed units.

The two teams of ODST, with the assistance of their individual systems and their own experience, hardly slowed down their pace and launched precise point-fire attacks.

Ta-ta-ta——!
The red trajectory of the hard light beam flashed in this deck corridor.

The guards who were hit by the high-energy light beams didn't even have the chance to scream or cry out in pain before they were all killed.

From the elite veterans launching the charge, to the human guards choosing to flee, to the subsequent arrival of two teams of ODST, the entire process took less than a minute.

now.

An ODST sergeant with a red left shoulder armor slowly walked over to the dead body of Axif, whose arms had been cut off by a double-edged sword and whose chest had been pierced.

He used the tip of his left foot to straighten the corpse's crooked head, and through the transparent mask, he observed the Axif clan up close, with their flawless, elf-like facial features and appearance.

But the dead body's facial expression was hideous, and its eyes were filled with resentment.

Apparently, Atlas's sudden visit exceeded their expectations and also disrupted their original "sacrifice" plan.

Before the ODST and elite veterans carried out this boarding mission, they learned about the so-called "sacrifice" from the Intelligence Department.

The Axis uses their near-perfect appearance and eloquence to seduce the hearts and minds of the surviving humans.

During the twenty Earth years that the exile fleet sailed, they began to spread religious beliefs on a large scale, converting most humans into fanatical believers of the Axiv civilization.

Mainly because of the scarcity of resources and the fact that the entire tribe had to flee, humans saw no hope at all.

In addition to being entangled in emotions such as confusion and fear, most people urgently need a support, or even a belief, to support themselves through difficult times.

It was by seizing upon this psychological activity that Axisf began to spread religion extensively, attributing all miracles and lucky events to the "gods" they served.

The Intelligence Department speculates that the exile fleet will eventually return to one or two Earths.

Because Axif needs to sacrifice intelligent creatures who believe in their "gods", and then use "hatred" as an anchor to implant into the designated people, so that the "gods" can come.

As for the "gods", they are giant beasts from another dimension——

Ghidorah.

This is why Price approved the Leviathan to directly attack and board.

If the exile fleet is allowed to complete the landing, it will affect the smooth implementation of the plans of Quan Ling and others on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will prevent Axif from doing anything tricky.

Now that the Paris class has been launched, eliminating hidden dangers and ensuring the survival of a few humans are naturally the priorities.

then.

The ODST officer glanced at the other body.

Under the transparent mask is a dark-skinned, gorilla-like face.

Although the corpse is not as tall as Axifu, it is more muscular than Axifu and humans.

It is a Birusaru race.

They are not as calculating as Axisif, but they are not as honest and upright as they appear.

Ever since coming to Earth, Birusarudo has been thinking about how to take over the Earth, and he has never concealed his ambitions.

It was only after forming an exile fleet with humans and Axif that he gradually restrained his ambitions and waited for the best opportunity to "rebel".

"Oh! Disgusting aliens, death is a bargain for you."

After observing the bodies of the two races, the sergeant sighed with disdain. Upon hearing this, the elite veterans present did not show any emotion.

Although the word "alien" can also describe elites whose appearance is very different from that of humans, under the influence of Sui Yang, the elites have long classified themselves as a "subhuman" race.
Of course, they are reproductively isolated from humans, elves, dwarves, and smaller populations of vampires and werewolves.

After all, the elite are an egg-laying vertebrate species.

Female elites lay eggs and use water tank-like chambers to hatch newborn hatchlings.

After confirming that Axif and Birusaludo were dead, the ODST and elite veterans continued to move forward, ready to deal with all threats within sight.

Soon, they arrived at the hub area leading to the mid-level living area.

There is a floor-to-ceiling observation window on the right side of the corridor.

Standing by the window, you can directly see the deep space and the earth "below".

However, even with such an observation window, it is impossible to alleviate the depressing atmosphere here.

The gaps in the metal bulkheads and the giant metal gates that blocked the ODSTs and elites all had obvious signs of rust.

There is also an indescribable unpleasant smell in the air.

Fortunately, sealed combat suits can help ODST and elites filter and avoid direct exposure to dangerous environments.

"Ow"

At this time, an elite stood in front of the tightly closed gate, looked it up and down, then raised the double-edged sword in his right hand, ready to forcibly cut a gap so that they could enter the living area smoothly.

"Hey, man! Wait a minute!"

But an ODST demolitionist, who was covered with props and grenades and had a portable backpack hanging behind him, stopped the elite in time.

He took out a suction grenade marked "directional/high temperature" from the storage bag on his side.

As he approached the gate, he said to the elite:
"This thing is much easier to use than your energy sword."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and attached the grenade to the left side of the gate.

After removing the safety and pressing the button, he quickly retreated and loudly reminded on the team communication:
"Watch out for explosions!"

After saying that, all ODSTs and elites kept a safe distance from the gate.

Waited patiently for a few seconds.

Om-! !

The suction grenade burst out with a bright light like the sun.

The glare is fleeting.

The hub area quickly returned to normal, but a 3 x 3 meter square gap appeared on the left side of the giant gate.

There are traces of melted metal on the edge of the gap.

This is exactly the directional blasting grenade that the Research Department provided to the armed department of Atlas, containing metallic hydrogen with controlled dosage and blasting range.

Atlas has applied metallic hydrogen to various fields. When exploring and integrating the "Doom" universe, individual-level metallic hydrogen weapons were still in the experimental stage. Now, it is one of the essential weapons for almost every blaster.

Seeing that the suction grenade successfully opened a gap, the ODST and elite veterans did not stop and continued to move forward.

After passing through the gap.
"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Grandpa, who are they?"

"Hush, child."

The ODSTs and elite veterans heard coughing due to lack of nutrition or physical illness, as well as the innocent questions of children and the restraining of the elderly.

At the same time, they also saw a large number of civilians crowded in this living area with turbid air.

The civilians could not be said to be ragged, but the protective clothing they wore was indeed shabby, and their faces and hair looked as if they had not been properly washed for years, and were also dirty and greasy.

Think about it too.

In an environment of limited resources, water is one of the most precious resources.

Therefore, civilians even have problems getting drinking water every day, and naturally have no conditions to clean themselves.

In addition, fresh fruits, vegetables and meat are extremely scarce, which means that civilians lack the vitamins and minerals to stay healthy. It is already a "miracle" that they can survive for twenty years.

However, the ODSTs and elites under their helmets look sad not just because they sympathize with the plight of the survivors of Godzilla.

Instead, they also saw that in addition to human civilians, there were also a large number of civilians from multiple races such as Axisif and Birusaru.

Among them are many young children with innocent expressions and clear eyes.

"Ow!"

Upon seeing this, an elite roared in dissatisfaction and brandished his double-edged sword, ready to continue to execute all non-human races on the spot according to the mission requirements, including young children who were ignorant of everything.

The reason why the elites can be so cruel is mainly because they have already committed "genocide" against their conscience when they were deceived by the prophets.

"Don't be impulsive, man!"

But the ODST sergeant stepped forward and stopped the elites who were about to carry out indiscriminate massacre.

"Why, are you planning to disobey orders and protect the aliens as well, Sergeant?"

The stopped elite questioned in a low voice.

"That's not it."

The sergeant turned to look at the terrified civilians. His eyes from under his helmet were still on a pair of human grandfather and grandson. He explained:

“If we massacre them on the spot, it will easily leave post-traumatic stress syndrome for our compatriots, especially the young ones.

It just so happens that the Biology Department also needs living samples from Axisif and Birusaldo, and assigning them to D-level personnel is the best solution."

"Ah~! I understand!"

After hearing the explanation, the elite finally understood that the sergeant was not overly sympathetic, so his tone became cheerful and he said:

"Hahaha, it's my fault, man. I shouldn't have questioned you!"

As the elite spoke, he freed his left hand and patted the sergeant's shoulder armor.

"buzz"

Just then, a burst of noise came from their communication channel.

Then, I heard the reports from other comrades:
"This is Captain Volenni. My brothers and I from SAT have successfully seized the bridge. All teams please report the current status."

Upon hearing this, the sergeant immediately responded:

"This is Sergeant Sanchez. We have successfully occupied the living quarters and are currently preparing to liberate our compatriots and capture the aliens."

"This is Corporal Horton, we have"

Reports continued to ring out on the communication channel, indicating that the ODST and elite veterans had taken control of the 1.5-kilometer-long exile ship in just a few minutes.

All that remained was to wait for the Leviathan and the other three Paris-class ships to dispatch more ship-borne combat personnel to take control of the entire Exile Fleet.
