Chapter 633: What is the destination of the forerunners?
Li Yu didn't expect that these sadists were so loyal that they deliberately delayed time and waited for the self-destruction system to be activated.
Then he committed suicide to prevent any confidential information from leaking out.
What a pity...
Li Yu shook his head. When he found that the self-destruct device was activated, he had already raised the [Infinity Gauntlet] gloves, and the time gem burst into a bright green light.
Then it began to cover the entire main base. From the outside, it was like a protective cover was put on this columnar base.
However, as the green light covered the lower base, which had completely exploded, suddenly began to shrink in a peculiar way.
The flames of the explosion condensed into a metal wall again, like a video played in reverse.
The researchers huddled in the corner stared at the scene in front of them with eyes wide open.
The three managers who had fallen to the ground and were twitching returned to their chairs in a way that was difficult for them to understand.
The cracks on their chests were also repairing rapidly, and they, who should have lost consciousness, were waking up quickly.
"This is..." Several senior researchers were extremely stunned and couldn't understand.
These researchers were not affected by the time travel. After all, if one more person was affected, Li Yu would have more burden.
Fortunately, these managers are not powerful life forms, and their time intensity is not high, so it is not too troublesome for Li Yu to modify them.
The more powerful a living being is, the longer its own time length is, and the more troublesome it is to go back or freeze it.
Just like Ales, he can even forcibly break the time force field surrounding him.
"1...2 ...3, the clock goes down..."
The sound of the self-destruct system being activated is also read in reverse order.
Li Yu directly called back the time to when the few people had not yet activated the self-destruct device.
When the time-rewinding stand disappeared, several managers were shocked and asked, "You...how did you suddenly appear here!?"
Their time has been rewinded to the time when they just learned of Ales's death.
So I have no idea what happened afterwards.
"Don't move. I know you want to activate the self-destruct program and commit suicide..." Li Yu imprisoned several people. There were some beads of sweat on his forehead, which soon disappeared. He shook his head and said:
“It’s been quite difficult to pull back during this period.”
"It's... the power of time. He turned back time!?" After a series of scene feedback, several senior researchers finally determined what was going on and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Callback time?" Several managers were confused and didn't quite understand.
All they knew was that just as they learned of Ales's death, Li Yu appeared in front of them the next second.
"The information in your bodies has not been drained out yet, but you can't die yet." Li Yu said with a smile, and threw out a few energy chains to imprison a few people.
"Give up. We can't possibly tell you. We have undergone the most rigorous anti-confession training. There are anti-control runes in our spirit bodies. Don't even think about getting any information."
A manager shouted.
Li Yu frowned slightly and was about to speak when he heard a voice behind him: "Sir, I know."
Turning my head, I saw the same timid guy, who seemed to be called -
"Nick?" Li Yu looked at him and said in a friendly manner, "What do you know?"
" I... I know everything you want to know. I know the purpose of the forerunners here, and I also know what is hidden deep in this planet?"
Nick avoided looking at Li Yu, but based on Li Yu's judgment of his emotions, this was not a sign of lying but rather that he seemed to be afraid to contact outsiders.
"Impossible!" A manager shouted coldly, "You are only a third-level researcher. Even if you are a first-level researcher, you don't know what we are doing here!"
"I... just know it!" Nick clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and said loudly.
"Take your time, I have plenty of time." Li Yu glanced at the outside world. His Transformation Army had descended from outer space and began to clean up the planet.
"Yes... it's like this. My parents are both researchers here. They have reached the level of first-level researchers." Nick calmed down and said:
"They worked in this experimental base for a long time and had some guesses, which they recorded in their notebooks. During a chance study of the Thunder Armor, they made a mistake and were killed."
"I was adopted by the base, but I was born with a special disease. I don't want to interact with outsiders and I have a hunchback. This caused me to be bullied and excluded by my peers..."
Li Yu listened to this guy's story with a gentle expression, but in fact, his attention was a little distracted.
Then Nick started talking a lot, mainly about how much he had been bullied.
Later, after joining the experimental base as a researcher, he was treated like a servant by his colleagues.
"So, I know everything!" Nick shouted, "The forerunners here want to extract something called source material from the Thunder Armor!"
"Source essence?" Li Yu's expression was slightly shocked, and he was finally getting to the point.
It was the first time he heard of this term.
When the three managers heard this term, their expressions suddenly changed. This kid actually knew it.
Li Yu noticed the expressions of several people and was sure that what Nick said seemed to be true.
Nick continued, "Source material... is a special substance that exists in the Titan artifact. It is also the source material that gives the Titan artifact its terrifying power."
"That is the raw material for creating the Titan artifact, and it is the core material..." Li Yu understood.
The Forerunners actually wanted to extract the core raw materials from the Titan artifact.
There is no doubt that once the core raw materials are extracted, the power of the Titan artifact will probably be reduced to one percent, or even directly destroyed.
At least, the damaged Thunder Armor would definitely not be able to be preserved.
Did the pioneers find repairs too troublesome, so they wanted to extract the core raw materials and then build new ones?
Li Yu estimated secretly, and then his expression suddenly changed, and he remembered what Khorne had said to him.
The power of the Titan civilization is dispersed, while the power of the Creator civilization is concentrated.
The specific manifestation is that the number of Titan artifacts, the crystallization of the highest technology of Titan civilization, is too large.
It is totally inconsistent with the concept of a civilization's ultimate weapon.
The annihilation device of the creator civilization is more like the ultimate weapon of a powerful civilization.
What if the Titan artifacts were combined into one?
Li Yu's expression flickered. It was basically impossible to achieve this idea under normal circumstances. After all, the Titan artifacts were all separate individuals and could not be combined.
But if the raw materials are extracted and remade, this idea may become possible.
Li Yu believes that, under the premise that no other information appears, this guess is closest to the pioneer's purpose.
“You…you, how dare you…!” Several managers stared at Nick with ferocious faces.
They didn't expect that a mere third-level researcher actually knew the core secrets of the base.
Several senior researchers looked at each other secretly. In fact, they had guessed this a long time ago, although they didn't know the specific purpose of the organization.
But through their daily work, it can be inferred that the organization should want to extract something from the Thunder Armor, but they don’t know the name of the source.
"Nick, thank you so much. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have to waste energy adjusting the time." Li Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"No, sir, it is worthwhile for you to adjust the time, because deep in the core of this planet, there is a Titan relic hidden." Nick revealed another astonishing fact:
"If you don't stop it, the self-destruct system will detonate the core and destroy the entire planet."
"Titan ruins!?" Li Yu was really surprised. He didn't expect that such a secret was hidden here.
Wait... His expression changed slightly: "If you just want to extract the essence, you should be able to do it anywhere. Could it be that the Titan ruins here can assist in the extraction?"
"Yes." Nick nodded: "The Titan ruins here were once one of the forging platforms for Titan artifacts. Although most of the equipment has been destroyed, a small part of it can still be used."
"In the laboratory, some of the special forces that are pulled come from the underground forging table."
Nick looked gloomy. "It is precisely because of this discovery that my parents want to use a special method to activate the Thunder Armor. If they can extract the source essence, they can apply to the organization to adjust my defective genes..."
This is a sad story. The Forerunner is a huge organization, and under this big tree, there are bound to be many shadows.
Nick is just an insignificant person in the shadows.
Li Yu pretended to be sad for a moment and finally figured out the situation here.
"Thank you very much, you saved me a lot of time." Li Yu looked at Nick.
"I...I only have one request." There was a sinister gleam in Nick's eyes.
"Please speak." Li Yu said.
"I want to... kill all those people in this group who have hurt me!" Nick turned around and looked at the researchers who had gathered together with a grim look.
Li Yu thought for a moment. The main purpose of keeping this group of researchers was to find out the situation here.
Now that he has figured it out, the value of this group of researchers is not that high.
As for the technology of extracting source material, these guys probably don't know it either. They just used the power of the forging table without knowing it.
"Of course, please go ahead, but... if it's too cruel, please don't do it in front of me." Li Yu said with a smile.
The many researchers behind him wailed and begged for mercy from Nick in fear, completely forgetting how they had bullied this deformed child with no backing in the first place.
…
At the same time, at the Forerunner's headquarters, a tall figure stared at the brand new screen in front of him, and four big words flashed: "Communication interrupted!"
The branch base within the Bados civilization has completely lost contact.
Who made him realize that something unexpected might have happened there.
Otherwise, Alfonso alone would not be able to block the communication signal.
"Fortunately..." He whispered, fortunately there is the Sky-Ring Defense Array, and once the information state transmission channel is completed, the most critical Thunder Battle Armor will be sent back.
As long as this thing is not damaged, they can withstand it even if all the branch bases within the territory of the Bados civilization are destroyed.
In just this moment, a large number of unknown speculations emerged from his mind and then disappeared one by one.
He received too little information, only the fact that Alfonso betrayed him, and it was difficult to infer more from this incident.
However, he has already identified two important suspects——
The alien dimension camp, and the Star Empire.
These two forces suddenly came to the Bados civilization to inquire about their news.
Not long after, Alfonso rebelled, and he didn't believe that there was no connection.
Suddenly, the holographic screen in front of him split, and a panicked figure suddenly appeared, and said hurriedly: "Sir, just now the sky defense array of the Bardos civilization branch base suddenly activated, and established an information transmission channel with the headquarters..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted, "I already know about this matter."
His calm tone calmed the subordinates who came to report and they looked at their boss with admiration.
As expected of a leader, he could remain calm despite such a big incident. Then, he continued to ask, "What should we do next? Do we need to send someone to the branch base of the Bados civilization to check what happened?"
"Perhaps the person who stole the Thunder Armor has not left in time."
Suddenly, there was a howling wind in the room, and the tall figure on the seat suddenly stood up and shouted: "What did you say, take away the Thunder Armor!?"
"Yes... yes!" The subordinate was slightly stunned and couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Don't you already know that the Sky Ring Defense Array built an information state transmission channel, but not long after, the information state transmission channel collapsed."
"This means that the Sky Ring Defense Array has been defeated, and the Thunder Armor may have been stolen."
boom!
The holographic screen suddenly went out, a large number of cracks appeared on the walls of the room, and the alarm sounded.
He stood still, the energy in his body fluctuating unsteadily, his pupils emitting terrifying murderous intent, and he made a chilling sound that sounded like it came from hell:
“Who on earth is it!?”
The many subordinates who rushed over after hearing the alarm looked at each other and looked at their leader with some fear.
He said in a deep voice:
"Notify the third vanguard - let him take people to Bardos. I want to know everything!"
