From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

"The filter element of the ventilation unit in area B has been replaced!" The engineer's voice came from a distance.

Amber looked up and saw that an engineering team had already completed the work at hand. It was only an hour before everyone started working. However, since the team was composed of employees from the Royal Engineering Department headquarters, their work ability and efficiency were extremely high.

Just after everyone started working, Amber followed Qilin Jindoshi, under the pretext of helping him. After all, although he had the title of senior engineer, he didn't know much in this area and could only find ways to get away with it.

Precisely because the members of this team are all elites, their work went smoothly and there were no hidden dangers that could expose Amber.

"Well, all instrument errors are within 0.005%, which is in line with the operating specifications of this facility. I didn't expect that there is a facility with such a high level of confidentiality under the Grand Palace."

Qilin Jindosh's voice came from beside him. The structural engineer was holding a terminal and muttering to himself. When he noticed Amber's gaze, a smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Amuro, our work here is also complete. The impact on this facility is much smaller than previously expected. We only need to replace some vulnerable parts in key locations~"

"It mainly depends on you. I'll just help you." Amber responded with a smile.

At the same time, each team also completed the work at hand one after another. The main thing that needs to be maintained in this facility is a complex environmental control system. In addition, there are a large number of multifunctional robotic arms set up for unattended operation, which does not take much time.

Soon, as the last team completed the work at hand and adjusted the components in front of them from 'maintenance mode' to 'operation mode', a nearby indicator screen also displayed the words 'all subsystems are online and the equipment has resumed normal operation'.

Immediately afterwards, the Archbishop's voice sounded on the radio.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please go to the C-12 lounge to rest for a while. The high priest has personally prepared Holy Communion for everyone."

"Oh! There is actually a holy communion prepared personally by the high priest of the imperial capital." An engineer couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice after hearing the broadcast.

"Yeah, it was such a great job this time. Hey! I've been lucky lately~"

"We can really brag about this for the rest of our lives, but considering the level of confidentiality here, I guess we'll have to keep this mission to ourselves for the rest of our lives."

The civil engineers chatted with each other, and then walked into a room marked C-12 in the Final Dogma area in twos and threes.

The warm yellow light of the lounge cast a honey-like halo on the metal walls. The civil engineering guys, who were chatting excitedly, sat down in twos and threes. They were discussing the equipment maintenance work that had just been completed. Because the equipment here were all extremely advanced models, everyone felt very curious. At the same time, they also took the opportunity to exchange problems encountered during the maintenance and solutions.

However, in this seemingly calm environment, the uneasiness in Amber's heart was like an undercurrent that could not be calmed down at all.

And this room marked as C-12 did not look like a lounge to him, but more like a "gas chamber" for mass executions.

The sound of the metal door suddenly sliding open attracted everyone's attention and interrupted the discussion in the room. Everyone, including Amber, looked at the door, only to find that the only people who came in were the two psychics who had been with the Archbishop.

The moment Amber saw these two people, the alarm bells in her heart immediately rang, and she went into a state of alert.

The two psychics walked straight to the middle of the front of the room, the gold embroidery on their black robes rippled under the ceiling light, and the civil engineers became confused when they did not see the archbishop. One of the engineers in the front immediately raised his hand.

"Um, please tell me, what's the situation now?"

The engineer asked with some inexplicable uneasiness, but his voice was drowned out by a strange atmosphere.

At this moment, the two psychics attacked almost at the same time, and powerful psychic energy fluctuations surged out like a tide, sweeping across the entire room in an instant.

Amber caught the precursor of the psychic impact long before the other party made a move.

He knew that the psychic impact released by the fifth-level psychic, even the reduced-intensity 'AOE' version, was not something that ordinary people in the room could withstand. Anyone who was hit by it would definitely die.

But Qilin Jindoshi cannot die here. Judging from the known results, he will not die here.

So at the moment when the other party attacked, Amber moved slightly without thinking, and put herself in front of Qilin Jindoshi. At the same time, she activated the protection mode of the biological exoskeleton and absorbed the two psychic energy attacks with her flesh.

The next second, when two psychic shocks came almost simultaneously, Amber felt as if the high-frequency vibrations were like millions of ice cones piercing into her bone marrow, and her internal organs seemed to be churning in resonance.

In the absence of the ability to use psychic protection, this is purely a test of the defensive power of the equipment provided by Ellenita and Amber's own physical strength.

Fortunately, the female elves are reliable, and the quality of products produced by the Thousand Star Empire is also very good.

Amber also fell backwards, and at the same time, with a very natural and stealthy movement, she elbowed Qilin Jindoshi, who had not yet reacted.

The force was controlled just right, causing Qilin Jindoshi to lose consciousness briefly. Even dark red blood foam flowed from his mouth and nose, and it looked as if his lungs were shattered by the psychic impact.

Clang——

The detector fell from Amber's fingers, bounced on the metal floor and slid away. The 48 bodies in the C-12 lounge maintained the expressions they had in their last moments. The faces of those in the front were frozen in astonishment, while some civil engineering guys in the back who didn't know what was going on still had longing for blessings on their lips.

After completing their task, the two psychics turned around and left the room without even stopping to check - or in their opinion, it was impossible for someone in this house to be able to absorb two psychic attacks alive.

Their backs seemed so indifferent and resolute, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with them.

Room C-12 returned to calm, and then the floor of the room cracked in the middle, and the body slid downwards like a garbage dump.
