Chapter 583: Tales of Dead Water Monsters
At the rear of the team, the response of another team was drowned out by another burst of bolter fire.
Obviously, an ambush was coming from both ends of the passage.
Beside Agnis, Sister Giovanna Freeman was cursing loudly - it was almost impossible to see in this chaos and bad lighting.
【
From the blasphemy of the fallen...]
The prayer inspired Agnes' determination. She regained her standing and tried to discern a clear vision in the chaos.
At this time, somewhere in the darkness, a low and messy voice came, and began to form a strange and dirty song.
Then the sound broke away again and the laughter started.
Those unknown enemies became more and more crazy as they laughed, attacking the nuns regardless of casualties.
As the commander, Velez was also confused. At first she thought this was a group of predators.
But then she realized that things were not that simple. These almost humanoid creatures were actually completely different from humans. They were too deformed and weird, and they were not the outlines she could recognize at all.
She had seen countless enemies of humanity on the data pads in the academy, but never like this.
But no matter what, they are all alien species and invaders of the empire.
So they will all die!
Velez fired, and the bullet whizzed past a nun's shoulder, and she heard a cry as the bullet struck a creature covered in spikes.
Then she ordered the heavy weapons man to continue firing, and asked the team to move forward, step by step under cover.
In the communicator, she heard Team Erin singing a prayer fiercely and vigorously, and then saw the flamethrower spitting out tongues of flame - the corridor was completely washed by its instantaneous explosion.
Howls of anger and pain began to echo, followed by explosions.
Afterwards, she heard one of the sisters hissing due to the sudden pain, but she couldn't tell which one it was.
"The aisle is blocked by corpses!"
This time the voice came from Jenny.
“We can’t go any further!”
“The elevator is on the left, you hold back the enemies behind first!”
Jenny obeyed the order, turned around and ran, Behind her the sisters did the same thing, their armor gleaming in the dance of firelight.
But they slipped after taking only a few steps, their steps sliding due to the splattered blood. The entire space seemed to be filled with fighting and roars, mostly from the group of creatures with muscles and metal.
Suddenly, a huge clawed hand grabbed Velez's shoulder. Without thinking, she turned around and gave the thing a blast in the head, then walked up the steps. Go all the way to the top.
“Throne!”
When they reached the lift, Velez couldn’t help cursing:
“Where did they come from?”
< br>
Outside the firelight, a large group of monsters emerged from the darkness. They were undisciplined and rough, and they were all trying to push their way to the front. The largest one had three arms, and each arm was equipped with an ax with a notch. , when it waded forward among the beasts, it smashed the small ones in front of it to pieces.
Just as it reached the steps, Velez's bolt pistol fired a clean blast into its face.
But the other party didn't take it seriously and walked straight towards her, roaring loudly.
But it didn't notice that there was a round metal object under its feet. When it took out its legs again, the detonated grenade tore off its entire lower body.
"Along the lift
keep going! "
Veletz's tone became cold as he dealt with his opponent.
"Stay vigilant, sisters, there are more out there! "The nuns beat all the monsters along the new aisle. The prayers in their mouths did not stop, and they still remained fanatical and nervous because of their concentration and anger.
Suddenly, the offensive of these monsters began. They stopped, abandoning their fallen counterparts, and seemed to be retreating, but the rough and harsh roar never disappeared.
"More of them will come, now, hurry up!"
The team started running, passing through corridors and cranes, turning around and arriving at a staircase suspended above a bottomless pit.
The cold air blew across their faces from below, a breath of death coming from a vast and empty space,
“The engine room goes down from here, but why——”
Veletz smelled moisture, which meant there might be water underneath
With doubts, Velez led the team down.
As expected, there was a dark pool of water at the end of the stairs, and Velez frowned.
There will indeed be a lot of cooling water in the engine room, but it will never leak out all at once. Then there is only one possibility - the people inside once wanted to use this water to block something.
Did they succeed?
After thinking for a while, Velez took the lead into the sewage.
The water was not deep, up to her waist at most, so the team began to wade forward.
This empty space is undoubtedly huge, and Velez feels like some small, creaky creature straddling the underbelly of some giant beast, no matter where she goes , her position was clearly marked by the light of her armor and the waves raised by her movement.
Suddenly, something hit her calf in the sticky and dirty water, as if something was about to attack her.
She swallowed the nauseating feeling and glanced down, but the dark water completely absorbed the light, making it impossible to see what was under the water.
So she could only choose to pass by them quickly.
[You will punish those heretics...]
Velets kept telling herself: she knows what to do, she knows how to use everything she has learned, so that her team members can trust her.
But this is all just theory.
Her confidence cannot be shaken, the current situation does not allow her to do so.
Velez walked to the front of the line and used her subtle light to illuminate the route as much as possible, but the situation remained the same. She saw nothing and felt like she was being swallowed alive by something. She didn't even have a clue whether she was going in the right direction or just going in circles.
There are no signs or convenient guidance down here.
【You cannot forgive them...】
But now she has no choice but to force herself to continue wading forward, exploring the boundaries of the water with growing fear, exploring Any possible survivors.
However, when she pushed forward, pushed forward, and pushed forward again, there was still nothing in front of her.
The desolation of this place began to spread around her, huge and cold.
It made her dizzy, as if a sharp breath streaked across her throat.
It seems that this is not the interior of the space station at all, but a lightless void filled with scratching sounds, metallic groaning sounds, and harsh friction sounds.
These sounds echoed with fear, the creaking noise was like an endless cry of pain, like an invisible threat crawling on the ground, as if it had no boundaries. Stretching all around, it was like
her pocket watch chiming for the hour - a faint, familiar chime echoing across the water.
The ticking sound brought Velez back to her thoughts. She stopped and listened with bated breath.
But there was only cold,
only darkness,
only something touching her calf——
