Chapter 606: Entering the Abyss Research Institute Headquarters
Although the number of snake-bone beasts is extremely large and their quality is not low, Istria's absolute combat power is also not false.
Although he was killed instantly by Li Yu before, it seems that he was unlucky.
But the blow that Li Yu delivered that killed him instantly was basically the limit of what he could currently unleash.
With the destruction of the energy barrier, Istra was no longer satisfied with defense and began to actively attack.
The snake-bone beast leader, who had adjusted his posture, slapped the void in front of him. Rich void energy burst out, creating ripples like shock waves.
It manipulated the void energy and launched wave after wave of long-range attacks towards Istra, trying to prevent the other party from getting close.
Istria did not slow down, and the two mechanical tentacles intertwined!
Buzz!
A matrix-structured energy shield suddenly emerged from the surface of the mechanical tentacles, extremely tough and thick.
Countless void energies bombarded it, but could only create a tiny ripple, unable to even slow down Istria's charge.
At the same time, the edge space of Istra showed signs of distortion, and the speed increased by more than a little, which was in sharp contrast with the original slightly clumsy action.
Multiple mechanical tentacles crisscrossed and slapped among the beasts. The highly concentrated energy mixed with various electromagnetic and shock force fields formed a light blue energy shield that wrapped around the mechanical tentacles and contained astonishing multiple lethality.
The herd of snake-bone beasts also sensed the danger. They spewed out void energy and formed a barrier. Their leader led the charge and tried to resist Istria's attack head-on.
BANG!!
Unfortunately, blocking did not work. The huge body of the snake-bone beast leader was flattened and stuck to the mechanical tentacles. The huge horns on its forehead were beaten into tiny particles that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
…
On the other side, the moment the invasion alarm sounded, Yuan Shou had already summoned all the senior executives of the headquarters.
They were in the highest command room of the headquarters, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the huge holographic screen in front of them, which was broadcasting in real time the scene of Istra showing his might.
"It's Istrara, how did it appear here?"
Someone said in a horrified tone that this place was their headquarters, and if they said that Istria came here by chance, no one would believe it.
But the location of their headquarters is top secret. Even many of the middle and senior management who were previously stationed outside do not know the exact location of their headquarters.
Even when returning to the headquarters, they had to go through layers of steps and multiple transfers just to avoid their location being leaked.
Its internal communications are strictly censored and almost impossible to be leaked.
Jing Huang stared at Istra on the screen: "Wasn't it severely damaged by Li Yu in the Benfir civilization before? How come it was repaired in such a short time?"
Since their boss also joined the battle, everyone naturally knew the details of the battle very clearly. For this kind of mechanical creation, it is extremely troublesome to repair it.
It is basically difficult to repair itself, and the only option is to look for equivalent materials, which cannot be completed in a short period of time.
But the Istria in front of him had obviously been completely repaired, and was alive and kicking, slaughtering the snake-bone beasts wantonly.
"What I am more concerned about now is whether it belongs to Li Yu or the Forerunner." Another senior executive said in a deep voice: "According to the results of the battle, this Istria has obviously become Li Yu's trophy."
"This is most likely Li Yu's revenge against us."
"Not necessarily..." Another person shook his head: "This kind of mechanical creation has complex logic coding in its internal intelligent program, and it is very difficult to change it."
"And Istria has been severely damaged. For Li Yu, it is just a big toy that looks good but is useless."
"He can definitely use it to trade with the forerunners and gain some benefits."
Listening to everyone's conversation, Yuanshou did not react at all, his eyes just stared at Istria.
"The leader should have the contact information of the forerunners. We can ask them."
I don't know who said this, but it caused everyone to laugh.
The Crystal Emperor's body was sparkling with crystals, and he couldn't help but say, "I don't need to see to know that quantum communications must have been blocked. Before launching an interstellar war, even a fool would know to block the opponent's communications first."
This is indeed the case. If they want to contact the outside world now, they can only destroy the opponent's signal blocking equipment first.
“It doesn’t matter…” Yuan Shou shook his head and said, “If it’s the forerunners, even if I ask them, there will be no results. Since they have chosen to take action, they will definitely carry it through to the end.”
"But if he is not a pioneer, then it would be interesting..."
The current situation is actually very clear. The mechanical octopus Istria can only be driven by two forces.
Either Li Yu or the pioneer.
"If it's not a pioneer, then it can only be Li Yu or the alien dimension camp." Someone added.
"Does that kid think that he can attack our lair just because he has gained some fame?" Crystal Emperor sneered, "If it is really him, then we can avenge our leader's defeat."
However, no one paid any attention to him. It seemed that he was not very popular. It might also be because everyone else saw the leader with a dark face.
Yuan Shou wanted to crush this idiot to death. He was just bringing up things that were irrelevant. Are you honored that your boss was defeated? You keep talking about it all the time.
He snorted coldly and said, "No matter who it is, since the other party has knocked on our door, we can't just hide and not show up."
This place is their old nest and also his home ground.
The combat power of the entire Abyss Research Institute is concentrated here, and the combat power that can be unleashed is completely incomparable to that in the ambush of the Benphil civilization.
What bothered him was that after finishing this battle, he would probably have to move to another place to rebuild his nest.
That will be a project that requires enormous effort and energy.
After hearing what their boss said, many senior executives looked at each other but could only nod.
At the same time, Istria was still killing people, and one third of the entire snake-bone beast population had been killed by it.
There were dried corpses everywhere, floating in the interstellar space, and occasionally some blood that had not evaporated would solidify into ice.
Li Yu had been hiding in the dark and had not appeared, watching quietly.
At this moment, the snake-bone beasts, which had been fearless as if their parents had been chopped to death, suddenly stopped attacking and slowly retreated into the meteorite belt.
A large meteorite belt automatically split open, and a group of people flew out of it, led by Yuan Shou.
However, they did not completely escape from the meteorite belt, but stopped at a certain boundary.
When Li Yu saw this scene, he immediately stopped Istra's attack and stood quietly in the universe.
"Don't you want to come out and see us?" Yuan Shou's mental fluctuations swept the entire audience. "I know there must be more than just the mechanical life form of Estra, otherwise this would just be a simple gift to us."
Yuanshou knew without even thinking that there must be someone secretly spying on him.
Neither Li Yu nor the Forerunners would be stupid enough to let Istria come and attack them alone.
"As expected of you, you are the leader of Yuan. You are really smart." Another mental wave came from somewhere. Everyone's expression suddenly changed. They looked around as if looking for a target.
Not far from Istria, the space ripples twisted, and a figure slowly emerged, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone looked at the life form in front of them with different expressions.
It was not the Li Yu they expected, but an interstellar human who looked to be about 30 or 40 years old and had some baldness.
He had a warm smile on his face, which made people feel attracted to him and subconsciously want to get closer to him.
Not Li Yu? Who is this?
This thought came to everyone's mind, including Yuanshou.
They didn't even doubt whether the person in front of them was Li Yu in disguise, they were just guessing the identity of the person in front of them.
This is the ability of Black Widow. When she is undercover and not using her original appearance, she will hardly be suspected.
Li Yu did not intend to attack head-on.
After all, according to normal reasoning, since it is the base of the Abyss Research Institute, if other combat forces are not taken into account, there will be various measures to ensure mutual destruction.
If he attacked head-on, regardless of whether he could get in or not, even if he did, the opponent would definitely have enough time to initiate destructive measures.
By then all he would get would be ruins, and there would definitely not be anything valuable left.
"Who are you?" Yuan Shou asked tentatively.
"Pioneer - Phil Coulson." Li Yu smiled slightly and gave his own name.
Coulson?
A pioneer?
Yuan Shou was stunned for a moment, and was sure that he had never heard of this name before, and then he asked: "Why are you here, sir? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Li Yu smiled lightly and said, "Are you asking how we know the location of your headquarters?"
Bullshit, I didn’t mean to ask this question, but do I really want to help you?
"Are you willing to speak frankly?" Yuanshou asked back.
"As long as we want, there is no information that the forerunners don't know." Li Yu's expression seemed unfathomable, making Yuan Shou want to curse.
"Aren't you going to invite me in and sit down?" Li Yu asked directly.
Yuan Shou's eyes flashed, and he did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked, "I remember that Yistera seemed to have fallen into Li Yu's hands. Did you take it back?"
"No, no..." Li Yu shook his head: "It doesn't matter if he holds Istra. No one can change Istra's intelligent core code."
Li Yu glued his index finger and thumb together: "Why use a gun? We have exchanged for Istria at a negligible cost."
"Hehe, Istra is a top-level mechanical life form after all. How can he be exchanged back so easily?" Jing Huang couldn't help but whispered. The teammates around him glanced at him, but still no one paid any attention to him.
This statement coincides with their previous speculation.
Yuanshou still had some doubts in his heart as the pioneers suddenly came without any prior notice.
And judging from the wanton killing of the snake-bone beasts before, it didn't seem like they came with good intentions.
"What is the purpose of your sudden visit?" Yuanshou asked directly.
"I'm here to discuss a cooperation matter with you." Li Yu chatted casually.
Anyway, all he wanted was to enter the core of the Abyss Research Institute at the lowest cost, so he could get out of the car and chat now.
"Oh?" Yuan Shou was a little surprised and said, "What kind of cooperation can't be communicated remotely through smart terminals?"
"This matter is quite important. Although we already have a basis for cooperation, due to your poor performance, we have to consider your specific strength."
Although Li Yu was smiling, his words made Yuanshou a little angry, which made his mental fluctuations a little cold:
"I'm curious about what kind of cooperation it is that requires you to come and consider it in person."
"Titan...Temple!" Li Yu uttered four words, and immediately it was like thunder, exploding in the minds of everyone in the Abyss Research Institute.
The Abyss Research Institute is not without interest in the Titan Temple. They have previously joined forces with the Fallen City to launch an attack on the Ark of Savior in order to obtain information about the Titan Temple.
However, after experiencing various setbacks, they have temporarily given up the idea of attacking the Titan Temple.
Now that the other party suddenly brought it up again, everyone's expressions changed a little.
"Can you tell me in detail?" Yuanshou continued to ask.
But Li Yu asked: "Do you just want me to talk to you here?"
This is the second time that Li Yu has expressed his desire to enter the headquarters of the Abyss Research Institute.
This time Yuanshou did not refuse immediately and seemed a little hesitant.
"Why not let him come in and talk? This kind of conversation is indeed a bit disrespectful." A senior executive suggested, but it aroused opposition.
"It's hard to determine his specific combat capability right now. If we let him in directly, he would be a greater threat."
"What are you afraid of?" Crystal Emperor said carelessly, "Even if he is an A5-level life form, so what? If something really happens, the defense measures of our headquarters can suppress him."
"At worst, just ask him to leave Istria outside."
Yuanshou glanced at him. Although this guy was quite stupid, this suggestion was indeed good.
If you only let one person in, the threat will be greatly reduced.
Even if something goes wrong, the headquarters' defense measures won't cause any trouble.
Then, Yuan Shou said, "In that case, please come in, Your Excellency."
