Chapter 104, Battle of the Power Plant
At the same time as the Space Marines began their attack, two transport helicopters, carrying a total of nine combat nuns and Gu Hang himself, also arrived above the target location.
At the target location, there are six windmills.
After Grit and his team used various intelligence to determine the most likely hiding place of the cult leader, Gu Hang also urgently asked someone to check the situation in this place. He was surprised to find that this was actually a small wind farm.
There are a total of eight such wind farms within the entire Fuxing City.
Last year, the Union Parliament approved the construction of these power plants. A company from the north, called the Polar Industrial Group, won the project through bidding and started construction.
According to the estimated project time, these eight wind farms located in different parts of the city should have been completed some time ago.
The approval and construction process of the entire project did not show any problems from the documents. But in fact, Gu Hang could sense something fishy from other aspects.
Does Fuxing City need wind power? Wouldn't it be more stable and more efficient to build a thermal power plant using hot limestone? Is it necessary to use wind power, which is an uneconomical, unstable and uneconomical method?
Let’s not talk about environmental protection and clean energy. Let alone on the wasteland planet of Angry Owl, this is not a problem in most worlds of the empire.
Even if this problem can be explained by the fact that wind energy resources are abundant, why build eight at once? And eight small ones at that? Wouldn't it be better to choose a location with particularly good wind energy resources and build a large group of units?
The locations of these eight wind farms are almost in the eight directions of Fuxing City, surrounding the entire city, including the outer city. Gu Hang felt that something was wrong.
Then he noticed the person who signed the approval document.
Norris, Mondoc, Vaughan.
Gu Hang had relatively clear evidence about these three former alliance members, and knew that they were closely connected with the cult.
Thinking further, what is the manifestation of the original Wrathful Owl sect's sorcerous abilities?
It's a storm.
With all these factors added together, Gu Hang really felt a deep chill.
He wanted to convince himself that he was just imagining things, but there was no clear evidence to prove anything.
However, as long as his mind was still somewhat sane, he couldn't make himself ignore the way these highly correlated clues were put together.
But no matter what, the first priority is to take over this place and capture the leader of the cult first.
The strong wind that had been blowing since the cultists launched the attack on the grain transport route was now showing a tendency to intensify. Not to mention, it had started to rain just now.
The transport helicopter was very unstable and shaking violently as it drifted.
Gu Hang held the handle on the edge of the helicopter with one hand and looked down. His deep blue eyes clearly showed that he had fully opened his spiritual vision.
In his field of vision, there were obvious and even ostentatious energy fluctuations in the power plant under the wind and rain.
It seemed like a provocation: We have made all the preparations, it's too late for you.
Gu Hang looked stern.
He turned his gaze outside and saw four conspicuous and powerful figures stepping into the power plant.
The one in the middle of the six windmills was surrounded by buildings. From a functional point of view, Gu Hang was not sure what the specific meaning of the building that made the wind turbine look like a windmill tower was. But the most important enemy should be there.
The Space Marines arrived at the main entrance of the windmill tower. One of them kicked the door open and rushed in.
Soon, the roar of the grenade launcher, even though it was at a considerable height, through the sound of wind and rain, and through the sound of the helicopter's propeller, reached Gu Hang's ears.
The enemies entrenched in the windmill tower were being quickly eliminated. The Space Marines' attack was ruthless and fierce.
The nuns led by Grit had also completed the rappelling. Their rappelling was different from what Gu Hang remembered. They had already let down the rope before the helicopter had landed at a safe enough height. They slid down the rope, and halfway down, they swung slightly, took advantage of the force, and then let go. Then they crashed into the windmill tower window one by one.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of grenade launchers was also heard from inside, and there was probably also the sound of battle blades cutting through storm shields and human bodies, but unfortunately Gu Hang could not hear it.
"Governor, we may have to return early. The wind and rain are too strong." The driver's voice came from the front.
Gu Hang replied: "You guys go back."
After saying that, he also jumped down.
Seeing the Governor's body falling freely from mid-air, the pilot widened his eyes in shock.
But everything was fine soon: he saw the Governor's falling speed slow down visibly, and then he stood up in the air and floated towards the place where the battle sisters broke in through the window.
His golden robe fluttered in the strong wind, but not a drop of rain fell on him.
"They are all evil people..." The pilot muttered as he controlled the helicopter to increase altitude and head towards the inner city.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and he became worried.
It's often windy in Fuxing City, but the rainfall is not bad. It's not a stormy season at this time.
The stronger the wind, the heavier the rain, which is not a good sign.
Is the Angry Owl God angry?
His body was shaking a little, so he had to hurry back.
…
When Gu Hang entered through the broken window, the battle was almost over.
There were some cultists here, not many in number, but all of them were quite strong. The leaders were three guys in gray-white robes.
After several dealings with people from the original Angry Owl Sect, Gu Hang could roughly feel the difference in their levels.
Those who can use storm magic are undoubtedly core members, and the one in blue robe is an ordinary member among them; Gu Hang has seen a few people in gray and white robes, and they are generally one level higher than the one in blue robe, which is almost equal to his strength at LV2.
Among the gray robes, Gu Hang had encountered two with special body shapes so far. The one who ambushed him and the fat woman he met at the Norris factory were both of this type, and their strength was roughly equivalent to that of Gu Hang at level 3.
Right now, they are just three ordinary men in gray robes and can’t cause any trouble.
The blue-robed warriors on the field were being attacked from both sides. The sisters who broke the windows were beating them up; the Space Marines were killing them from the stairs below. The three grey-robed warriors kept releasing powerful evil spells, trying to hurt the sisters, but they couldn't do it at all. His spells were easily countered, and the power was greatly reduced. There was no way to shake the power armor on the sisters.
This time, it was Grit who completed the final kill.
Her holy golden halberd, which was a supernatural weapon, seemed to have special demon-breaking properties.
As a psychic, Gu Hang could instinctively sense the threat.
Moreover, Gu Hang could also see with his own eyes that when Grit rushed in front of the three gray-robed men, the holy golden halberd that was raised high cut through their storm shield like a hot knife cutting through butter, and also cut through the people inside.
The other two quickly cast spells to resist, but their effects were minimal. The head nun used the same spell on them and chopped them twice more before they were all killed.
The damage caused by the Holy Golden Halberd was horrific. The smooth wounds and completely split bodies made the scene extremely bloody.
Gu Hang watched this scene and complained in his heart: "Huh... Does this head nun have some special fetish? Why does it always end up like this?"
