Chapter 283, Nirvana
Although it was difficult to explain and he didn't know what exactly happened, Anato had no intention of hiding it.
He clearly shared with his battle brothers what happened at that moment.
When the explosion came, countless steel ball bombs followed.
Filling the bomb with steel balls is a rather underhanded trick, but it does work.The steel balls splashed out by the explosion carried huge kinetic energy, expanding the killing range many times. All lightly equipped units would be beaten to pieces under such a dense bombardment of steel ball bombs.
But it is obvious that although the Space Marines are 'infantry', they cannot be regarded as lightly armed units.The specially treated ceramic armor has a defensive effect in some parts that is as good as that of the Lion tank.
If the steel ball bullet hits a weak part, such as the armpit, inner thigh, waist and abdomen joint, or the tactical eyepiece part of the helmet, it may be quite dangerous and there is a chance of being penetrated.
But in order to prevent this from happening, Anato still made the right response.
He squatted on the ground on the spot, curling up his body as much as possible to reduce the area affected by the explosion.And, during this process, use the thickest part of the power armor as much as possible to resist damage.
He squatted on the ground and put his legs together to prevent the weak points on the inner thighs from being attacked; he tightened his body and key points to avoid attacks on key parts; he clamped his arms to avoid damage to his armpits; he shrank his head and shrugged his shoulders to let the strongest protection , the shoulder pads, often used as shields, protect both sides of the helmet...
These actions effectively protected his safety.
Not to mention, under his chain sword, those drones couldn't get close at all, and could only choose to explode six or seven meters away, which was a little less powerful.
However, if there is only one suicide drone, with this set of measures, he may be unscathed.
But after all, there were more than a dozen bombs exploding around them.
In a very short moment, his armor suffered too many blows.Metal fatigue caused the armor on his body to become pitted; and the impact of the explosion itself couldn't be ignored as it came one after another.
Logically speaking, his fate should be no different from the other two battle brothers who were also affected by the explosion.
However, even as he was seriously injured, unwilling anger burst out from his two hearts.He felt a surge of heat spread throughout his body.
He felt the infinite power brought by this heat flow. In that very short period of time, not only did he feel no pain subjectively, but objectively, the serious internal injuries caused by the shock wave to his body were also ignored. .
An infinite potential surged out of his body. At this moment, he not only seemed like an uninjured person, he even had more power than he had in his prime!
He took off the helmet that had been blown up and many of the integrated combat systems inside could no longer be used. Instead, it had become an obstacle to vision and hearing. Then he followed the power surging in his heart and pounced. Moving forward, he unleashed his power on the enemy, finally killing the spider-humanoid machine.
And this power goes as quickly as it comes.It only lasted for less than half a minute, and then I relaxed.
But even if the power from his heart dissipates and he becomes weak, in comparison, his actual situation is much better than that of the other two battle brothers who were also attacked by the explosion.At least, he was not unconscious, and even had the strength to drag a battle brother away during the evacuation.
...
What Anato told Cuevas felt a little strange.
"I...have never felt this way."
"Neither have I. This is the first time." Anatole responded.
"This is too unusual." Cuevas said with some worry, "We may have to report this matter to the chapter leader. My brother, I am very worried about the terrible sequelae and damage to your body." Anato took a deep breath and said: "That's right. I had to personally report the mission situation to the Chapter Commander and report that two of our brothers were seriously injured. I will report this matter incidentally."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and continued: "I will not avoid you, nor will I avoid any brother. When the time comes, you can come with me."
Hearing this, Cuvas felt more relieved.
Seeing Anato's calm look, he felt that the situation he was most worried about would not happen.
...
The five action teams of the Phoenix have their respective mission goals far apart, making it difficult for the Phoenix Falcons to directly communicate with each other.It wasn't until they returned that they spoke to the Chapter Leader and others.
There was no need for Anato to take the initiative to repay or anything. After returning, Chapter Leader Martins Salas held a Chapter meeting and gathered everyone together.
The leaders of the five teams each reported on the mission status, results, losses, and experiences.
Each team successfully completed its mission objectives.
In fact, the defense arrangements arranged by Blackbird Heavy Industries in each of their missile silos are similar.Bunkers, an army of cyborgs, a swarm of self-destructing drones, and a spider-like female mechanical commander.
Even this female commander looks exactly the same.
It is normal for the Chapter Leader's team to complete the mission, and the defensive power of the Terminator Power Armor is the most exaggerated.A self-destruction that can seriously injure a Space Marine wearing ordinary tactical power armor is like scratching an itch for a Terminator.
The chief pastor can complete the task and does it smoothly.The gravity field pushed forward, smashing almost all drones that broke through the fire blockade.
The two veterans had another way of dealing with it. They all chose four new recruits to cover behind, while the veterans rushed forward alone.After discovering the drone, the two veterans were extremely experienced and chose to take detours, causing the explosion but ensuring their own survival.
It was only when the spider-human mechanical monster appeared that they were a little confused and suffered some injuries, but they still completed the task successfully.
The more Anato listened to these reports, the more he felt uneasy.
But no matter what, it was his turn to tell.
He honestly told what happened, including his abnormal rage and recovery from his injuries, and then he realized that everyone was staring at him.
He is very guilty.
The beautiful records of the other four teams made him look stupid.
He obviously had two more people here than the other teams, but two of them were seriously injured.
He felt that everyone was looking at him with contempt and blame.
However, I didn't expect that the Chapter Leader's first words were a somewhat urgent and unbelievable question:
"'Nirvana' really happened to you?"
