Chapter 280: 'shadow'

"Boss, Chief Sergeant."

Serena said, she shared the footage captured by the drone and presented it on the helmet screens of William and John.

On the street not far from the convoy, a man in ragged clothes was struggling to run, clutching his **** abdomen.

Behind that person, there are four ‘dark shadows’ that resemble human beings, chasing it...or him.

The four "dark shadows" didn't seem to be anxious to catch up with the person, but kept a steady distance with him.

When the severely injured person in their abdomen escaped into a subway entrance similar to a human city, these ‘dark shadows’ stopped chasing.

Immediately afterwards, the ‘dark shadows’ just circled around the entrance of the subway and communicated silently.

Upon seeing this, William's brows frowned slightly, and he always felt a sense of familiarity with the ‘dark shadow’ that appeared on the screen.

After thinking for a moment, he could only helplessly shook his head.

"Boss!" At this moment, a paratrooper who was in charge of guarding at the back of the convoy reminded in the communication:

"An abnormal condition was found."

"Boss, we have it here too!"

Soon, the paratroopers from other positions also reported loudly in the communication.

Hearing the sudden change, William, John and others also looked around.

I saw the ‘dark shadows’ shot by the drone, coming out of the shadows that could not be illuminated by the sun, and waving their arms towards the convoy.

Seeing this, William immediately ordered: "Fire!"

"Yes!"

"Tap! Tap!"

After being approved, the three Spartans and the paratroopers of the four classes pulled the trigger and used all kinds of weapons in their hands to launch an attack.

William also immediately guarded Serena behind him, holding the M41A, and spit out a dazzling ‘Fire Snake’ at a black shadow.

Although William led a reconnaissance team, he had all kinds of firepower, especially a Warthog equipped with a 90mm Gauss cannon.

What's more, the members are the superhuman Spartans, and the elite of the elite, the paratrooper squad of wild tooth sharks.

But...

Everyone’s Gaussian spike bullets and shellless blasting bullets are not effective against those dark shadows, like a punch on the cotton.

Just look at the spiked bullets emitting blue light, passing straight through the body of the black shadow. The shellless blasting bullets also pass through their bodies and hit the walls and the ground before they explode.

"Boss!" Serena, standing behind William, quickly reminded her boss:

"These things seem to be invisible, our physical attacks are invalid, we need to retreat as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" William had no objection at all, and waved his hand: "Everyone boarded the car!"

"Yes!"

After    got the order, everyone gave up the attack on Sombra and began to quickly return to the Warthog.

Since everyone boarded the Warthog in an orderly manner, the convoy began to move again within a few seconds, all turning around and returning to the same path.

was originally the lead car driven by the Spartans, but it turned into a chaser due to a U-turn. This gave Myron, who was holding a rotating Gauss cannon, a chance to vent.

I saw Myron aim the six-barreled gun at the group of trailing shadows, and shouted extremely uncomfortably:

"Regardless of what demons and ghosts you are, Lao Tzu Sparta is not afraid of it! Besides, we still have the goddess of victory to bless me, let me die!"

"DaDaDa!"

"Puff! Puff!"

However, with the crisp sound of the rotating Gauss cannon, the shadows who had been attacked by the spike shells took a while, as if they had actually been attacked.

"咻~!"

Karl, who was sitting in the co-pilot's position, saw that Myron's attack seemed to be effective, and he also pulled the trigger of the electromagnetic sniper rifle.

"Boom---!"

But the blue trajectory with the thick wrist went straight through the black shadows, and then hit a building behind the black shadows, causing a violent explosion.

? ? ?

Carl couldn't believe her eyes. It was obvious that Myron's attack was effective, but her attack still seemed to hit the air.

"Is it true that stupid people have stupid blessings?" Karen couldn't help asking himself.

"What's wrong?" John, who was dedicated to driving, asked puzzledly.

"It's okay." Carl shook his head slightly, and continued to observe her somewhat ‘magical’ brother.

Even though Myron’s attack could not kill those shadows, it could still stop them from chasing down, making the distance between them and the convoy bigger.

Finally, when the convoy came to the vast desert, the group of dark shadows completely disappeared from the Spartans' vision.

William, who was sitting on the third Warthog, also received Halsey’s communication:

"William, what happened to you?"

"We had a brief exchange of fire with a...a thing that I am not sure if it is a living thing. The physical attack seemed to be ineffective against them at all." William replied.

"hum... I have received the video message from Serena."

Halsey was silent for a few seconds, seeming to be thinking briefly.

then said: "It seems that the disappearance of civilization on Kepler 22-b is related to the enemy you encountered, William, you can withdraw from that space first."

"it is good."

.

Within half an hour, the convoy returned to the pyramid that was about to be swallowed up by yellow sand.

William also asked the Marines and technicians who stayed here to return to Kepler 22-b with them.

This kind of thing that cannot be solved by firearms can be regarded as an anomaly found outside the earth, and it is very likely to be an anomaly that led to the destruction of higher civilizations.

...

After the reconnaissance team led by William came into contact with the anomaly code-named'Shadow', the Zero Fleet suspended the development of the remains on Kepler 22-b Because'Shadow' cannot be physically attacked , Coupled with very strong hostility and other characteristics, temporarily classified as Euclid.

The Zero Fleet enters a state of combat and discusses how to deal with the "shadows" and whether it is necessary to contain them.

After all, the location of the planet they are on is unknown, and they may even be in a galaxy outside the Milky Way.

The mobile base station next to the ruins group.

Small meeting room.

William, Halsey, John, Carl, Myron and others are sitting behind the U-shaped table, while Serena, wearing a prosthetic body, is standing in the center of the U-shaped table.

Serena used the holographic projection in the conference room to explain the situation to everyone present.

I saw the projection video playing, it was Myron’s individual cameras and the “shadows” who suffered a setback.

Seeing this abnormality, Halsey asked, "John, Carl, you were on a Warthog with Myron at the time. Could your attack be ineffective?"

"Yes." Carl nodded immediately: "I also attacked them after seeing that Mellen's attacks were effective, but the result... still penetrated straight through."

"This is weird..." Halsey became more puzzled.

"Haha~!" Mellen said with a smile without caring: "Maybe I really have some blessing."
