Chapter 42 Danger
Molinit was the first to enter the central control cabin, but when a corridor was blocked in front of another explosion-proof door, the passage was successfully blocked by the defenders.
Alarms kept ringing everywhere. An unlucky worker, dragging his work clothes, stumbled out of the side door and was casually split in half by a Morinite serrated tomahawk.
“Blow it up.”
Morinite ordered, and then a World Eater warrior pushed to the front and began to fill a set of magnetic lock fusion disintegrators. .
Then he stopped and looked at the obstacle.
"The fortress-style explosion-proof door is a product of the Mechanicus produced locally? Or imported from other places. The main locking pliers are on both sides of the central pin bolt, here and here."
"Go ahead and chat with the subspace."
Morinite scolded loudly.
“Open it!”
The World Eater shrugged, clamped a pair of Dissociators to the point he had just pointed to and stepped aside.
"Back off,"
he said, activating the detonator wired to his right vambrace.
In an instant, the directional dissociators shook as they melted their molecular nuclear fuel, and with a low sound they were ignited.
The hot melt immediately burned and penetrated into the heavy door, burning two molten holes in the adamantine plate.
The whole group of flames swayed, and there was an obvious cracking sound from where the two doors were sealed together.
"Come on!"
Morinite pointed at the other warrior, the largest member of the warband shouldering his way through his brothers and grunting at him Slam the broken area of the door with your fist and start dragging.
With a low grinding sound, the World Eater tensed his muscles and lowered his head, while the ancient, patched servo of the power armor gradually increased his already considerable strength.
After pushing it with the shoulder for a second, the automatic hinge started working.
The heavy door swung open as the lock melted into slush.
Behind them were a large number of cogitator units and power coils, and the frightened guards just watched.
“Kill them.”
Morinite gave the order, and the war gang rushed into the generator room.
As they hacked away at the screaming mortals, Morinite stepped towards the central mass of power coils, cooling valves and gear blocks.
It was the main generator in the central control room of the orbital station, and the air at its core was throbbing with static electricity. The electric arc flowed through Morinite's armor in the form of a warm flash, and then he took out a grenade.
Boom——————!
The lights in the central control room went out and it took three and a half seconds to activate the emergency cables laid on the floor.
At this time the killing has begun.
With a random snap and a gust of strange air, five figures suddenly stood in a circle in the shallow pit where the Thinker's computer was placed in the middle. They were huge warriors wearing scarlet thick plate armor.
Backup lighting came on line and they opened fire.
General Sora fell behind a line of cogitators, his hands covering his ears as the room filled with the loud explosions of bolters.
Part of his brain knew that the central power system had been destroyed, and they were facing a ferocious attack.
Other than that, there is only pure and blind panic in my mind.
The cogitator's crew was shaken and sparking by the volley of bombs. He saw two auspicious operators to the right fall, their torsos exploded, one of them was the one who had been there in the beginning. The young soldier who came to him during a meeting in the intelligence room.
Sora fumbled with his pistol, trying to get it out of his belt.
"Sir!"
The auger chief wailed, and just as he was about to get into the bunker next to the stationmaster, a bomb hit his right arm.
The limb disappeared with the splattered blood and broken bones, causing him to turn half a circle. His scream lasted for nearly a second before another shot hit his head, and then the The bomb knocked off the left side of his face, and his mangled body fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty the God Emperor!" Sora stammered, struggling to open the safety of the pistol.
Suddenly, everything became quiet.
Only General Sora did not, his heart was beating fiercely.
The pool of blood that flowed from the body of Chief Bird Oracle stained his knees red, but he refrained from moving.
Heavy footsteps shook the deck, accompanied by the whirring and scraping sounds of power armor.
"Who are you?"
A stuttering voice sounded, and Sola recognized it as the deputy station director.
Then with a crushing sound, the unfortunate guy started screaming, which lasted for a long time.
Then the footsteps became heavier.
Finally, a shadow fell on the stationmaster who was holding his head tightly. He raised his head, trembling, and blinking due to blood and sweat.
He wanted to raise his hand, but the pistol was as heavy as a thousand pounds of weight, and then it fell to the floor with a thud.
A giant stood in front of him, wearing power armor covered with skulls and human skin. Its helmet was shaped into a long animalistic nose with short fangs, and there were wings extending upward on both sides. , this is the crown worn by the warriors of the Blood God.
The giant's goggles emitted a dark, angry red light. The brass brand decorated in front of the huge breastplate was not only not covered with blood, but became brighter.
"No no no..."
General Sora finally remembered how to scream as it grabbed him with its huge, spiked gauntlet.
But he didn't hold on even for a second.
"Gan Gan Gan! Omnisiah, how could I encounter such a ghost thing!"
Hiding in his operating room, Loken kept cursing his mother. Operate various instruments.
According to the intelligence sent back from all directions, the central system should have fallen, and the other party is cutting off the power supply to various cabins and departments. Fortunately, Loken still has backup power, so there is no need to worry about this for the time being.
But the problem is that due to the fall of the center, he has now lost the means to communicate with the ground. He can only use shortwave channels to send out distress signals, hoping that a passing patrol fleet will receive them - of course this opportunity is Very slim.
It's not that he hasn't thought about escaping, but if he wants to escape, he must go to the star port, and it is obvious that the opponent's goal is the star port.
After analyzing it, Loken still felt that it was safer to stay in his own nest. It was wrapped in thick metal, had an independent signal transmitting device and backup power supply, and was also connected to the backup control of the orbital station. system.
It was also he who gave the order to close all passages and corridors, just to delay time.
"No matter what, let the frigate drive away first."
Remembering that he could not let the other party succeed easily, Loken began to send a message to the frigate, asking it to start the engine immediately and leave the star port.
But it also takes time.
Loken is working hard to maintain the operation of the orbital station. After all, there are only a few people on the other side, and there are at least more than 20,000 guards in the orbital station, but they cannot gather now.
He is planning a route so that as many guards as possible can become the force to stop the traitors.
A three-dimensional image of the orbital station floated in front of him. Every gate and every cabin was under his surveillance.
Suddenly, he felt a cold touch coming over him.
Loken turned around suddenly, but only saw the closed door.
“What’s going on——”
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the door, and something was hitting it.
“Gan!!!”
Lorcan was so frightened that the fluid in his bladder almost leaked out.
Those damn things realized something was stopping them and they came for him!
