Chapter 911: Heavenly Change
“Sir, the enemy has heavy weapons!”
“I’m not blind!”
Just after Stryker finished speaking, a nearby tree Suddenly fell down - metal shrapnel exploded the bark of the tree behind the colonel.
"It seems that there are not many people on the other side, so suppress the fire!"
The Catachan soldiers raised their guns and started shooting. They either squatted or lay down and fired a barrage of bow-shaped barrages into the dense woods. The dim woods were suddenly illuminated by bursts of lasers and tracer bullets.
Stryker opened fire while observing his position, then waved his hand, and the team immediately formed a commando formation.
"The enemy is in front, but they can't be seen from this position. This may be an ambush, but I don't know what it is."
I realized that the other party was talking to me. , Patat blinked and said:
“Call for support?”
"We're the only ones around here!"
"It would be nice if we could see what's shooting at us."
"Stop talking nonsense and have your men bring flamethrowers to the side Go!”
Patat then waved his hand behind him, motioning for the soldiers to come with the flamethrower.
"On your place!"
Stryker yelled, gesturing for the soldiers to disperse from the target.
“Have a barbecue feast!”
The soldier pressed the trigger, and a volcano-like liquid fire shot into the dense forest like a horizontal flame fountain.
Then Catachan soldiers used large-caliber live ammunition weapons and began to fire left and right.
The trees and huge ferns in front of them burned. Some plants were instantly ignited, as if they were filled with gasoline, and some withered like dust.
About 20 seconds later, a large area of woods ahead was burned, allowing Stryker's team to clearly see the area 60 meters away.
Suddenly, there was silence all around, and even the bullets fired at them were gone.
“Telescope!”
Strike took the telescope handed over by Patat.
"It seems we..."
The autofocus dial on the telescope whirred, and soon Stryker saw what he wanted to see.
"What the hell? What is this? A temple? But it seems to be a facility belonging to the empire."
What Stryker saw was a triangular building covered with armor, with a The symbol of the Mechanicus, but there are some weird pillars erected around it, and there are many blood-stained skulls on the building, making it more like a place for some kind of pagan blood sacrifice...
In addition, all armor plates They were all spray-painted with Chaos emblems, there was a defensive net around the perimeter, and automatic slaves were installed on the explosive emplacements.
Strike realized that they must have triggered the sensor that activated the servitors as they approached, but now it is estimated that the servitors are dead due to the high temperature - although they are hardly alive.
"What is this place?"
Patat also saw this place and couldn't help but muttered to himself.
“It’s hard to say, but I feel it has something to do with those heretics and my missing team members.”
Hearing Stryker’s answer, Patat was silent for a long time. Then he asked:
“Then what is the use of this building in this jungle?”
"Good question."
But it's just a good question. Now every soldier is in bad condition, especially the militiamen, who are almost reaching their limit.
"Then what should we do next? Sir."
"You will know after you dismantle it. Be careful, the Emperor will not bless us at any time, he is very busy. Very." Stryker was obviously too lazy to think, holding a bolt pistol and cautiously approaching the door of the building.
Suddenly, a deep voice roared, and a nearby burnt automatic servitor suddenly came to life and raised its automatic weapon.
Stryker fired three shots and blew up the servitor.
Then he rushed forward, rushed through the crack of the open door into the cold blue light in the room, raised his gun and looked for the target.
But there was nothing but darkness and deathly silence, filled with discarded furniture and scattered papers.
Suddenly, he found a dim phosphorescence flashing in front of him, and there was a dark room there,
The room was dark, and when he just raised his feet, thousands of eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness and stared at Stryker.
They all belong to the same... thing.
A huge thing spun and appeared in the darkness. It stretched out its blue and white flabby body, poisonous saliva flowed from its mouth full of sharp teeth, and the gelatinous liquid on its black skin The object was shaking wildly, greasy ash flying around it like a cloak.
Just looking at each other for a few seconds, Stryker was already covered in cold sweat, even soaking through his jacket.
He backed away in horror and left the door, and the monster broke out after him.
As soon as they saw this thing, the soldiers threw away their guns feebly and began to feel sick to their stomachs.
Patat was also gripped by this terror and could not move.
He was crying and groping for his gun, when transparent and greasy tentacles rushed out from the darkness, surrounded him as if hugging him, and then crushed the unfortunate officer hard, leaving He popped like a tomato.
The Catachan soldiers who were on guard turned around and saw the terrifying creation rising from the secret room, as well as the red puddle that was once Patat.
"Warp Demon! Demon!"
Stryker started yelling into the communicator.
"Everyone retreat!!!"
Only then did Colonel Catachan realize that destruction did not come suddenly.
It has been following them, and has been slowly approaching, but they are unaware of it, or they cannot notice it at all. A ruthless predator is just out of sight, ready to move, hiding. .
"Quick, quick, quick! Don't stop, retreat to the convoy!"
As Stryker was running, he felt the muscles all over his body were spasming and tingling, there was an inexplicable chill on his back, the base of his tongue was itching, and the hand holding the gun kept shaking.
He has a characteristic that his left eyelid will always twitch wildly when a psyker is nearby, so when he is on the ship, every time he is near the navigator, his eyelid will twitch wildly.
At this moment, Stryker’s left eyelid twitched again.
He froze, clutching the gun, realizing something was wrong.
Whether it is the time when the sun sets now or not, it has completely disappeared. The sky is filled with gray clouds like solidified grease. The ashes are flying in the wind, and various strange shapes have begun to appear, and Some bloody cracks appeared vaguely in the clouds.
Soon, the gray clouds began to turn red, which was a terrible sign that some kind of change that they didn't know was happening in this world.
Suddenly, everything was silent.
It was scary, until everything was quiet, no one realized that the jungle was full of noise: the buzzing of insects, the rushing of water, the rattling of amphibians, The chirping of birds.
Only when everything comes to an abrupt end will humans realize how painful it is to be away from those sounds.
They slowed down and pricked up their ears, hoping the sounds would come back.
"All on alert!!"
Strike raised a hand, turned slowly, and leveled his gun.
