Chapter 1242: There is no way to escape from the mouth of a shark (Part 1)
Ciel actually knows that strategically speaking, it is not a reliable idea to leave the team alone.
However, tactically this is indeed a wise move.
Behind him, his brothers were fighting an almost unwinnable battle. He was sure that under other circumstances, they would have been able to win, but now they were facing more than just the Hive. minions, and a nest master who can attack with psychic powers.
If this continues, even with the help of the think tank director, they will not be able to win in a short time - their goal is not only to eliminate the aliens, but more importantly to find what Mars needs, and their competition The opponent is very powerful. There are five fighting groups together. Even if they are only part of the whole, their strength and efficiency are by no means comparable to the man-eating sharks who are short of food and ammunition.
There is only one quick solution -
Find and kill the nest owner!
Ciel used his huge body to squeeze a way out of the enemy group, and used his battle ax and armor to knock away the aliens one after another.
Just as he expected, the aliens did not surround him, but walked around him, as if they had been ordered to avoid him at all costs.
He easily killed the aliens he could reach, but instead of fighting, he went straight forward and rushed towards the statue where he saw the nest master before.
If the monster wanted to meet him personally, that would suit him.
And if the hive master is busy dealing with him, it will have no time to pay attention to the people in the company, and will not have the opportunity to command other genestealers.
In this case, Todor and the others can defeat the enemy with the help of the Pale Wanderer.
But in the final analysis, the most important reason is still only that-
That is his prey.
Although he gave up the fierce battle behind him, the thing he was chasing was the enemy center that had been following them since they arrived at the hulk. He could feel that it kept harassing them and took away the lives of two brothers. , he has decided to put an end to this alien's murderous behavior.
Although he had made up his mind, Ciel still felt a little uneasy.
His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, trying to find the location of the monster.
The Chief Predator could hear the whispers of the alien again in his mind, but he still could not see the thing at all, as if it had been erased from his cognition.
He couldn't smell the thing, nor could he see it. Maybe it was just a figment of his own imagination from the beginning.
"You may be able to escape me, but you can't escape the machine spirit, beast!"
Ciel roared and activated the image-grabbing machine spirit of the visual auspicious device.
Immediately he saw the image of the alien squatting on the statue, and then the shadow of it jumping into the air, and its trajectory gradually falling towards him.
When he saw the first image, he immediately transmitted the data to the optical sight of the bolter, allowing the armor's sighting system to lock on to the nest master who was rushing toward him.
He fired a burst from his bolter, trying to hit the monster before it landed on top of him.
But the thing twisted in the air at an incredible angle to avoid the bullet, fell to the other side of the rubble, then quickly climbed up and stood up from the dust.
When the other person stood up straight, Ciel realized that the guy was much taller than he thought, even comparable to the sentry of the Astra Militarum.
In that moment, they just stared at each other.
After a breath, the two collided, chitin hitting ceramic steel. The sharp claws carved deep claw marks on the armor, and the chain ax also left deep marks on the flesh.
After three breaths, they pulled away, but immediately started fighting again.
Charr waved his battle ax, resisting the dazzling attacks of the nest master. The thing was so agile that it almost bypassed Charr's defense several times, but it still left deep claw marks on his armor.
Even after genetic enhancement, Ciel's reactions could not match the alien's unnatural speed. And he knew very well that the opponent would use his brutal attacks to drain him of his strength bit by bit.
“Come on!”
Ciel roared and swung his battle ax in a large horizontal slash. The nest owner jumped back and hid on all fours. Got to the back.
The chief predator immediately raised his gun, but the guy started running and he could only keep firing at it.
The bullet hit the nest owner's body and spattered blood. In pain, it first jumped onto a statue, and then jumped behind a pile of debris, avoiding the bombs that followed behind it. .
At this moment, it suddenly disappeared.
“Huh!?”
Before Charles could be surprised, a heavy force was suddenly exerted on him, forcing him to take a few steps back. The balancer in the armor struggled to adapt to this. The sudden extra weight.
The opponent suddenly appeared behind him, a hand pressed on his shoulder, and two sharp claws were almost embedded in the armor on the side of the helmet.
One of the air pipes on the helmet was cut off by a sharp claw, and air was constantly spraying out. Ciel almost instinctively rolled to the side, and hit a burned pillar with the guy. superior.
Under the huge power of the Space Marines, the nest master flew out, hit the ground and slid, but soon stuck his claws on the ground to stabilize his body.
The nest master climbed up, just in time to catch up with Charr roaring towards it, swearing his oath to the Emperor and the Void Father.
It jumped up when the battle ax struck, dodged the blow that shattered the earth, and then hid in the shadows again.
Ciel stood up and looked around, trying to find the thing, but this time it was not playing any psychic tricks, but hiding purely by its agility and stealth skills.
The Chief Predator turned around slowly, his communication channel was still open, and he heard the sounds of other people fighting bloody battles. He also heard the sounds of other companies, who were also fighting against the aliens. .
The situation faced by everyone is similar to that of the Third Company, except that their positions are different.
The only difference is that the Third Company has to face the enemy's brain.
The gene stealers are just the pawns of this beast. It only needs an idea to make them move their position on the chessboard, or suddenly go berserk.
As long as it wants, it can fill this place with low-level creatures and drown itself out of the team with its numbers.
But it didn't do that.
He knew, and could feel it, that this thing wanted something else, and would delay as long as possible before getting it.
What abominable purpose does it want to achieve?
This question stuck in Ciel's mind like a wedge.
"I know you can hear me, monster!"
Suddenly, he shouted loudly.
“——I don’t know how you do it, but I know you can understand me! In short, in order to let you understand, I will speak slower.”
