Chapter 1262: Slander
“Could it be the Star Knights and the others who are causing trouble?”
Wested said this once, and everyone was stunned.
A few seconds later, Castor interrupted everyone's speculation.
"Shut up, Narek, Data, now!"
The stress of the possibility of losing the prize was evident in Castor's voice, and his warriors glanced at each other.
Of course they cannot understand the pressure of the company commander. After all, it involves supplies that are enough for their battle group to use for decades or even a century. Regarding the remuneration of the Martian Sage, only the command level knows, and only Such a high-value target is worthy of their entire team's dispatch.
Now, they have the signal from Mechanical Ark, but they are blocked on the way there. How can this not make him anxious?
"Sir, the apocalypse is more useful than our senses. I need a little time."
Faced with Castor's impatience, Nalek acted very calmly.
"Locate me a feasible passage."
"This place is full of biological markers, company commander."
"Can you contact other companies?"
A veteran suddenly Ask questions.
“Why do you do this?”
Barak looked at his comrade, who just shrugged.
“We may indeed need a little help. Although we are the fastest, we are also the smallest in number, which means we have the least ammunition.”
“I’m afraid. I'm going to disappoint you."
Narek glanced at the smoke and his instruments. The high-temperature smoke emitted by the engine crash shone with destructive energy. This situation would not disappear for a while until the last breath of the engine. The heat is completely drained.
“The equipment we have is temporarily unable to penetrate these thermal fogs and needs to be moved to another area.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the auspicious device in his hand again.
“Go this way.”
Nalek pointed at the smoke screen and started moving towards a building at the end of the passage on the right. It was grand enough to provide direction for the malicious warriors in the thick fog.
The vibrations underfoot became more and more obvious. The slanderer company of the malicious warriors hurriedly increased their speed and rushed towards the building before the ground collapsed.
They also encountered some sporadic aliens along the way. They were also trapped in place by the explosion, but the slanderers had no time to care about these enemies. They only occasionally pulled the trigger while running, killing those who tried to block the way. Guy smashed.
Then they encountered no more resistance.
Boom————!
With a loud noise, every window on both sides of the passage was shaken out of the window frame and hit the ground directly. The Space Marine's boots crushed the smaller debris into powder, but they could only circle around it. Open the larger ones.
The ornately decorated door in front was blown open from the inside. Three larger fragments remained on the hinges, and the rest were scattered in a radial pattern at the door. When the company ran into the grand entrance from the passage By the time they entered the entrance hall, the passage they had come from had been filled with flames and turned into a furnace full of debris and scrap steel.
Despite the fire spreading, there was almost no smoke in the hall, a blue haze replacing the billowing smoke of charred flesh.
Castor didn't know the data in this area, and he couldn't continue to issue orders.
"Company Commander, we-"
Before Barak could say anything, the plasma jet ejected from the last explosion of the reactor penetrated directly from the bottom of the ship to the top, giving The building has a new atrium, and the gates that were once tightly closed are now open without warning.
All Space Marines rely on the magnetic locks on the soles of their boots to stabilize themselves from falling, but the place that was once considered safe has completely changed, and the uneven floor has turned into the beams of a huge pit. , fluid from the ruptured pipe kicked up soot from the walls and flowed to the ground in a filthy waterfall.
The tongue of fire licked the burning facility, some debris flipped and swirled in the heat wave, some burned, and were mixed with the charred corpses of the aliens.
In this situation, a certain veteran whistled and joked:
"Look at this place, what are we doing here? Participating in the alien camping barbecue party?" while Technical Sergeant Narek was still busy. while playing with his augur.
“Quiet.”
Castor was a little angry. The prey they had been chasing for a long time was about to be obtained, and some uncontrollable factors were threatening their fate. Safety.
"Company Commander, the auspicious device has been debugged. Let's move forward another two hundred meters, pass through the stairs and enter an isolation zone to reach the next safe ship wreckage."
The others looked at each other, stuck. Stoll glanced at the screen mounted on Narek's arm.
“Let’s go!”
After giving the order, he ran towards the remains of the huge staircase, followed by the others.
The Nest Master watched in the darkness as its enemy disappeared into the passage. It clung to the ceiling of the hall, hiding itself with shadows and psychic powers.
During this time, the enemy's team became larger. Its previously well-designed ambush did not reduce their numbers as expected. Now its lair range has become smaller and smaller, which makes it increasingly desperate. key.
However, among these enemies of different colors, it smelled hostility.
Yes, they hunt it, but they also hunt each other, and they are prey to each other, which gives it more ideas.
That’s why it destroyed the reactor. Although it didn’t know what use it would be, it successfully drove these yellow hunters in the direction it wanted them to go.
At the same time, it also realized that the two sides found their home base at different speeds, so it slowed down the blocking of the other two types of hunters. It hoped that these parties could approach it at the same speed, so that they would always meet. of.
There they will hunt each other.
The nest owner crawled along the curve of the ceiling, silently walking through many dark passages until he arrived at a corner of the huge hulk.
This is a red gem embedded in a dirty beast's cave. Even after tens of thousands of years, it cannot conceal its former luster.
The red armor plate was inlaid with gold, and the angel's emblem and the Mechanicum's logo formed a matching pattern. The nest owner carefully got in and came all the way to the interior of this huge ship.
In this, there is a door.
The nest owner's eyes were fixed on the door. He knew that something existed, but he had never been able to open the entrance.
If it were a lower creature, a creature completely dominated by the Shadow of Leviathan, then it might simply ignore all this.
But it is not those lower creatures.
Although the nest master has no ability to disobey the will of the insect nest, it can at least transfer this will. It uses its own consciousness to shield the palace, and at the same time sends its own offspring to find an entrance.
When it first learned of the intentions of these intruders, it was furious. They dared to snatch the prey it had been chasing for so long. This was simply unbearable.
But when the initial rage calmed down, its consciousness began to function again.
It is not a simple beast. There is so much knowledge in its head that it sometimes gives it a headache.
Now, it felt that it had to go in.
Anyway.
It was aided by the enemy's cutting of the hulk, the vibrations loosening some of the locking mechanisms inside.
The nest owner paused for a moment and ordered all the offspring to leave here. Then its muscles contracted tightly, and many cracks appeared in the stone concrete under the grip of its sharp claws.
With a bang, the door that had been dusty for thousands of years was opened.
