Chapter 212 Blood Mine (Part 1)
"The area ahead is safe."
As soon as Soshiyang finished speaking, Thor's voice came from the communication channel.
"Security to the rear."
"Roger."
Because the passage was narrow, Soshyan took the lead and walked in front, with the more steady Thor behind, so that they could respond to emergencies at any time.
But so far, they have not encountered any enemies.
Soshiyan is at a track intersection, the largest connection point between two underground networks, where miners transport excavated stone.
Not long ago, Soshyan also received a communication message from the Ministry of Justice, saying that the arbitrator had taken control of the situation and declared martial law, requiring all miners to leave the mining area.
But that is no longer what Soshyan has to worry about.
More importantly, this also means that all the miners they encounter underground are probably hostile targets and can be eliminated directly.
The specific situation of the alien must be found out, and the sooner the better, only then can the cleansing operation begin.
He led the command team to continue moving, starting to use the gravity ladder and then along the winding and narrow rock, soil and creaking plastic steel passages, down to the environment completely shrouded in darkness in Mine No. 14.
The power supply system in the mining area has been artificially cut off. Soshyan didn't know whether it was done above ground or by someone underground.
In short, it is already dark here,
When he passed a fork and reached an excavation area, Soshyan stopped.
He sensed danger.
"There is a possibility of enemy contact ahead."
He stood behind a rusty mine bucket that was used as a bunker. Under his instructions, the soldiers dispersed to each side of the intersection. Crouching behind rusty railcars and switching equipment.
The air was cold and thick, as if the underground passage was holding its breath.
"The number of enemies."
Saul at the end of the team asked. He was guarding the back of the team alone to prevent enemies from sneak attacks from behind.
"The number is unknown, the automatic sensors are malfunctioning, and I suspect that some kind of jamming device is operating nearby."
There are few things in the galaxy that can disable the sensors of the Adeptus Astartes' power armor. This alone was proof enough that their enemies were close.
“There’s nothing on the augury?”
"Not yet."
"It seems they know we are here."
The team began to enter shooting mode and carefully checked the movement in the dark. Armin retracted the pole of the battle flag. Back in half, the ancient battle flag can adapt to the underground environment.
And Soshyan's hand holding the sword was tighter than before.
“They are waiting for us, and I don’t want them to be bored and stick to their posts.”
After saying that, Soshyan stood up, and the track that went straight into the mining area extended from his side.
The lighting strip connected above the head went out in the deep tunnel, and the rails under the feet were scattered in the darkness. A trace of air flow from an exhausted mine somewhere in the distance stirred the pious slogans nailed to the wall. Rag strips.
Soshyan's goggles probed the shadows, but found only false feedback and false signals - something was definitely messing with their vision.
It may not be mechanical, it may be psychic. These are proof of their existence.
"They won't attack unless they think I'm alone, and we must jump through the trap."
After saying that, Soshyan began to move down the tunnel, alone.
Not only did he feel the shadows changing and moving, the darkness was approaching and surrounding him like a terrifying and hungry cryogenic dream.
"Chapter Commander, if you go too far we will lose your trace."
Armin said nervously in the communication channel:
"Augury Completely failed.”
Soshyan did not answer. His power armor had already begun to inject combat injection into his superhuman body, and the syringe was automatically activated by his elevated heart rate. He tasted copper in his saliva and adrenaline began to burn through his muscles.
The Sheng Yan Sword suddenly felt lighter and was easily held in the metal gloves.
Suddenly, something stepped on the gravel of the railway behind him.
The voice was slight and perfectly timed to match Soshyan's next step.
Ordinary humans would ignore it, and Soshyan was certainly not an ordinary human being.
“Coming!”
He activated the Sheng Yan Sword and twisted around to slash, and a bright red light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
When Soshyan turned his heel, the hot power sword had shattered the cold air, and then rubbed against a pair of terrifying giant claws to create a cluster of sparks.
The Genestealer following Soshyan jumped away due to the impact. Its strong body could not absorb the power of the Astartes attack, and it rolled directly to the side after landing. What's more serious is that Its claws were cut off directly from the fingers.
Before it could get up, Soshyan had already whizzed over and launched a cantilever slash.
The alien tried to wave his hands to resist, but his arms flew up together with his head, and the stench of the alien pus suddenly spread in the air.
“Kill him!!!”
With a scream, the other aliens attacked one after another.
They once lurked around the edges of the tunnels, taking shelter along the walls and in the vast, spiky web-like ceilings.
Now they saw the lone "prey", making piercing screams and attacking Soshyan from every angle.
The claws cut through the darkness, and the big mouth full of sharp teeth roared.
Within seconds, Soshyan was left alone and helpless.
The flickering firelight around you brings the battle into a hellish black and white scene that flickers on and off like a still image playing.
One spin deflected a sharp claw thrust, but the next second a pair of cold claws hit the Sheng Yan Sword, and at the same time another blow dug into Soshyan's right shoulder guard. It shook his backpack.
At the most dangerous moment, a claw strike almost succeeded in piercing his gorget.
But he also cut off four heads and nine arms within a few seconds.
"Chapter Leader!"
Armin was the first to rush to his side.
The power sword hit the alien trying to lie behind Soshyan from behind. Under the action of the decomposition field wrapping the sword body, the blade smoothly cut through the alien's carapace and severed the spine. And immediately let the thing fall from Soshyan's back.
Then another sword stabbed out, and then a limb rolled on the rails, spurting out dirty blood.
More warriors rushed forward, but in response, countless screaming aliens also appeared from the darkness.
The originally peaceful mine tunnel suddenly turned into a bloody killing field.
When four claws slashed at his helmet, Soshyan managed to lean back in time to avoid them, and subconsciously slashed the Sheng Yan Sword into the shadow beside him.
His senses were on edge, the desire to kill and the liquid metal coursing through his veins activated.
The noise around him faded away from him, and the aliens emerged from the darkness as if they were performing a slow pantomime.
"Destroy the aliens!"
Soshiyan roared, drawing energy from burning muscles and cold blood.
He ran in the mine tunnel like a god, releasing cruel and efficient power. Every blow was just right, making it difficult for everyone to catch up.
The alien has no other ability except screaming and roaring under his sword.
By the time the rest of the team arrived at Soshyan's side, their chapter leader had trampled a struggling monster alive into a pulp with his feet.
