Chapter 201 The Mysterious Sect
Although the leader has disappeared, the gene stealers are still pouring forward like a tide.
The only thing that is different is that their number is shrinking, and their violent temper seems to have been reduced a lot.
“Where did that thing go?”
The arbiter asked loudly.
"I don't know, but we have to get out now!"
"There is an entrance here!"
The arbiter discovered a hidden wooden door in the room, which opened and revealed a secret passage. .
So the legal officers were divided into two groups, covering each other and retreating backwards. The gene stealers did not seem to have such a strong desire to attack, and they just roared and wandered at the entrance of the room.
The team tried to push forward. Under the weak illumination of the lighting equipment, another huge maze composed of tunnels curved and stretched into the unknown darkness. Countless shining eyes were staring up at them coldly.
"My Emperor!"
At this time, a legal officer suddenly shouted.
"They're up there!"
I heard an inhuman scream from the darkness above the room, and then a black figure jumped down from the overhead vent where the light couldn't reach. , that swift speed is unbelievable.
The moment it landed, it rushed straight towards the legal officer who was at the end of the team.
He tried to raise his defensive pistol, but it was too late.
The monster's mandible stretched out inexplicably, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs. It bit his throat violently, cutting off the muscles and cartilage tissue on it, and spread its teeth in this dilapidated hut. A bright red blood mist arose.
“Damn bullshit!!!”
When the screaming genestealer bastard dropped the twitching body of the legal officer, turned around and charged at the others. When it came over, the Arbitrator raised his hand and shot it, but the bullet drilled a small hole right next to its head in the rough partition wall.
Everyone can hear the soft footsteps coming from the darkness behind it.
Although they couldn't be seen, the special sound of knocking on the floor made everyone's hair stand on end.
Obviously these genestealers are planning to launch an all-out attack.
The Arbiter took off the shock hammer from his waist, and when the alien jumped over again, he waved it desperately to resist the monster's attack.
"Get away from here! Quick!
He deflected the attack from the arm with claw-like nails, and felt that the shock hammer had scratched the chitinous skin, and when When the murderous sharp mouth was only a slap away from his face, he ducked in time to avoid the fatal bite.
The others opened fire again, but they were only intercepting the incoming aliens like a flood, and the Arbiter had to deal with the opponent on his own.
He counterattacked by swinging his buzzing hammer back, slashing the bastard in the ribcage and breaking its spine.
Foul-smelling ichor gushes out, reminiscent of the hive's poisonous wastewater rivers, and then the alien collapses at his feet.
“We are surrounded!”
The assault team leader shouted,
This is indeed what appears to be the case.
The narrow cubicle has no windows, and the only door that can be accessed is crowded with terrifying human imitations, and their roars make everyone's blood surge.
The fuel for the flamethrower has long been used up, and most people even have few bullets left.
The legal officers can only shoot their own bullets carefully, specifically picking out those guys who are stupid enough to directly expose themselves, and attack their heads or chests with bullets, and from time to time they will shoot at the thin The walls fire to stop them from rushing into the narrow space.
"Retreat! Retreat to the passage!"
The Arbitrator decided to make a desperate move and immediately put his words into action, leading the team to escape in the direction of the unknown secret passage.
Others followed closely behind him, moving forward step by step, and firing back from time to time to kill the monsters that were chasing after them.
They soon arrived at an open area. There were many collapsed wooden houses and a shaft, but it seemed that it had not been used for a long time. Maybe some desperate miners lived here a long time ago. But now there is nothing. The arbiter only looked at this place for a few seconds before he caught something unusual.
On the walls here, you can vaguely see some kind of symbol that resembles a large bird, but it is definitely not an eagle symbol, but more like——
crow.
And on the shaft, the Arbitrator saw many black and unclear things hanging on it, like countless bats hanging upside down.
Suddenly, dense footsteps sounded from behind. The team turned around to deal with it, and found that a tide of aliens had already caught up with them.
But when they entered this area, they were a little hesitant.
However, driven by some kind of force, they still rushed in.
Da da da da da————!
The next second, the gunfire of heavy bombs passed through the ruins like thunder, and when the bullets swept through the footholds of the monsters, they immediately tore them into pieces.
Inspired by this situation, many figures also leaned out from their hiding places, joining the battle enthusiastically, or pouring firepower from a high position.
The arbiter was surprised to find that those shabby houses that seemed empty had actually been hiding people, and there were many small caves dug into the surrounding rock walls.
This is like a settlement.
The people in black tattered robes laughed unabashedly when they saw the abominable chaos below.
"Abominable aliens, dare to offend the Crow Lord's territory! Prepare to accept the cruelest punishment!"
A high-pitched voice sounded from the shaft, and then a wooden platform slowly Slowly falling, a man wearing a crow mask and a black feather robe came out.
"Death and shadow will hang over you together!"
This sentence seems to be the most vicious curse. The gene stealers seemed to be frightened by something, and they acted like this. Dispersed.
"Who are you?"
Although the alien threat has temporarily receded, the Arbitrator dare not be careless because these people look too strange and may be potential cultists.
The legal officers did not disband the battle formation, but became more vigilant because enemies were in all directions - those people were all covered in pure black robes, and their faces were hidden in the shadows so they could not see clearly.
"No need to worry, Arbitrator, we are still loyal subjects of the empire, but at the same time, we are also dependents of the Lord of Crows."
The man wearing the crow mask turned to the Arbitrator, At that moment, the arbiter seemed to feel something penetrated into his mind.
"Damn it! An illegal psyker!"
The Arbitrator, who has rich experience, immediately noticed the opponent's intention and immediately raised his pistol and aimed it at the opponent's head.
“We are abandoned people who just want a quiet life. You can leave from here and report everything you see. The aliens here have been multiplying for hundreds of years, and even the bureaucracy has been penetrated. , you have a lot to do, rather than wasting your time on a group of forgotten people."
Even if he could be killed at any time, the man remained very calm.
After thinking again and again, the Arbitrator put down the gun in his hand.
"What is the Raven Lord."
"A protector."
"Our protector can only be the Emperor."
"It also once protected Emperor."
"What?"
"Okay, it's time for you to leave. There's no telling whether those monsters will come back."
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to disclose any more, the arbitrator could only keep everything he saw today in his heart, but he vowed that as long as the solution was solved Without the threat of the Genestealer Sect, this so-called Lord of Crows will definitely be found out!
Subsequently, the Legal Department team took the elevator and left the mining area.
