Chapter 585 Haemonculus
“Stop! Raise your hands!”
Facing the unknown and strange target, Velez raised his gun vigilantly and let out an intimidating roar. Others The nuns followed suit.
But the woman didn't say a word. Instead, she knelt down on one knee, spread her hands on the ground, and assumed the posture of a sprinter on the starting line.
Veletz suddenly noticed that the blood floating on the water suddenly spread like life.
When the woman's mouth split like petals, forming a terrifying mouthpart, the skin of her forearm also rippled, and under the ragged clothes, the bones and flesh were constantly distorted.
Until this moment,
Veletz could see clearly that there was an exposed metal spine on the woman's back, which was filled with green syringes.
Although she didn’t know what it was, she understood that it was undoubtedly a dangerous thing.
“Fire!”
The moment she pulled the trigger, the woman moved to the other side so fast that Velez's sight could hardly keep up.
Now each of the woman's legs was split in two, with all the muscles and bones exposed and still deforming.
“Destroy her!”
Veletz maintained the frequency of shooting, and finally found an opportunity to shoot two bullets towards the opponent's path.
Unexpectedly, one of the opponent's arms suddenly spread out in a fan shape, forming a shield composed of bone spurs and tough membrane, which directly blocked the bomb.
Then, she twisted a bone whip out of her palm and wrapped it around Sister Agnes's neck, throwing her aside and throwing her into the sewage.
“Damn!”
Velez growled, realizing that the other party was approaching him.
But she is too fast and even the bullets cannot catch up with her. What kind of monster is this?
And she also noticed that the dark laughter in the darkness did not stop, and there might be other enemies nearby.
Amid the frenzied shooting of the nuns, the woman who turned into a monster moved with ease, and when she was close enough, she pounced on Velez.
In response, Velez drew his power sword.
"Kill the evil spirits!!"
Just as the power sword struck the monster's chest, her torso split into four claw-like limbs, and they directly grabbed Velez's limbs. Lift her into the air.
In the monster's chest, Velez saw a huge tumor that was constantly pulsing.
Velez squirmed and struggled. Her power sword kept swinging, but every severed limb grew right back.
Suddenly, a bone spur pierced her head. The nun twisted it to one side, caught it in the crook of her elbow, and broke it with force.
Then she twisted the other restraining limb, and when it came loose, she grabbed the woman's gray blond hair, pulled it toward her, and kneed the monster in the face.
After three knee strikes, the monster let out a painful whimper, and wrapped its
blood-red whip around Velez's wrist, grabbing it firmly.
For a moment, the two were locked together face to face.
The monster's face was already bloody, but the sad expression of a young woman could be vaguely seen.
Then she raised a human-like hand.
The palm of his hand immediately split open, and his fingers spread out in a fan shape, forming a shield that covered his face.
A bullet struck it and detonated, leaving a smoking hand.
More bolters fired into the sewage around the monster, and she turned around, wisely placing Velez between her and the nuns.
"Ha!"
Suddenly, with amazing flexibility, Velez did a backflip, his high heels nailed the opponent's head, and then jumped directly over to five meters away.
When she looked back, the woman had turned into a dazzling mass of pulsating flesh, with petals like flesh membranes on her head, and arms like the pincers of predatory insects.
"Yajin! Burn her to death!"
Hearing the captain's call, Sister Yakin stepped forward holding a heavy flamethrower.
"No matter what you are."
The nun shouted angrily:
"Evil thing! You won't live long, this is the flame that will end you ! ”
But the answer she got was a claw made of flesh, piercing from the center of her torso, from the middle of her beating heart.
It turned out that the monster had inserted a limb into the ground a long time ago. With the help of the cover of the sewage, the limb went around Sister Yakin's back and completed the fatal blow. Claws pierced Sister Arkin, tearing her armored backpack in half, sparks flying from the armor's ruptured power plant as it tore through her chest.
“No!”
Velez roared angrily and charged forward with his sword.
But two new, thinner limbs have grabbed Sister Yakin's arms, and pulled the nun's torso apart with a creepy slippery sound.
"Death!"
When Sister Yakin's body slipped away, a sword lingering in her position had already penetrated into the monster's tumor.
A large amount of blood spurted out, covering Velez.
The monster quickly shriveled up and fell like a blanket.
Just when Velez breathed a sigh of relief for killing the enemy, a withered bone whip suddenly sprang out from the monster's body and turned into the shape of a scorpion tail. Nailed the front hard.
Powered armor is like paper in front of this poisonous stinger, falling apart at the first touch.
In just a moment, Velez fell into the water in pain.
"Captain!"
The nuns rushed forward and dragged her out of the water.
At this moment, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared on the beam above their heads.
He has a thin and slender body, pale frost-like skin, and a blood-stained human skin coat. There are three arms on each side of the body. His abdomen seems to be hollow and unusually slender, and is surrounded by various torture-like appendages. His slightly bulging back has a
tail that is constantly waving behind him.
“Who!”
The vigilant nuns pointed their guns upward, and the light illuminated the face of the being, but all they could see was a black mask on the long and narrow face. Outside, there is a pair of strangely slanted bright yellow eyes and pointed ears.
“It seems that it’s not good enough as a substrate——”
After sighing and speaking in a language that the nuns could not understand, the creature shook its head and disappeared directly at the moment when the bomb was about to arrive.
In the end, the nuns confirmed the identity of the attacker through various intelligence and evidence collected-
Dark Eldar.
In this operation, ten nuns died in their duties, but except for the transformed monsters - all the monsters they encountered were later proven to be staff of the previous space station.
After that, the nuns deployed a large number of manpower and almost turned the entire space station upside down, but still no Eldar was seen.
And the warships in orbit also reported that they did not find any aircraft leaving the space station, and it seemed that the attackers just disappeared.
Veletz's team were the only direct witnesses.
But in addition to the death of one team member, their price was that the commanding nun Velez was poisoned and had to be placed in a cryogenic life-saving chamber.
“——But even so, the captain’s physical functions are still weakening. We are afraid that she will die before we return to the monastery. The captain has been mentioning you before, so we will go directly to you.”
As she spoke, Yanis’s voice was choked with sobs.
Soshiyang straightened up, his face uncertain.
"What kind of poison was in her?"
"The medical officers can't analyze it."
Soshyan could only turn his eyes to Talos aside.
The prophet looked at the life-saving cabin, pondered for a moment, and said softly:
"What they encountered must be the Haemonculi in the Dark City who are in some trouble. The things those guys create are very weird and cannot be guessed by common sense."
"The Haemonculus?"
This The vocabulary was somewhat unfamiliar to Soshyan.
“What is that?”
Even the nuns cast curious glances at Talos. They only knew that they were attacked by the Dark Eldar, but the specific attacker was in the dark They also don't understand what their status is among the Spirit Clan.
After all, compared to the Ark Eldar, the Empire's understanding of the Dark Eldar is more limited. Even the Adeptus Astartes has few records about them. There are only those inquisitors who focus on the Eldar, or the manuscripts of xenos scholars. Or in the secret archives of the Death Watch, you can find
more detailed records about these people of darkness.
“I only know a little bit about them. They are cruel craftsmen who specialize in carving flesh and blood. They are best at making all kinds of deformed monsters and have a high status in the Dark City. I would like to know more information about you. You have to ask that person.”
