Chapter 1264 We are here for you
Gianluca Feola, the third company commander of the Malicious Warriors, is leading the company to move in the general direction of the existence of the Mechanical Ark. They have been entering the hulk for a week, but they have not been able to No matter how smooth it was, they didn't find anything of much value along the way, so finding the Mechanical Ark first became their most urgent task.
While walking, he glanced at the sensor. It seemed that most of the enemies were gathering in the direction of the slanderers led by Castor. This was good news, if their company found the Mechanical Ark first. , it can prove that he is better than the arrogant guy Castor.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head and said to the soldier behind him:
"Speed up!"
Then he increased the energy output to his legs and started running, trampling the metal deck all the way around the corner with his heavy footsteps.
As soon as he entered a T-junction, he saw a monster contracting its muscles, preparing to pounce on him from above.
Gianluca fired on instinct, the bolter began to roar, and the alien's legs were torn off and flew to the side, ending its jump.
At this time, another monster appeared from the corner of the fork in the road. It jumped off the wall and turned towards Gianluca. It did not try to hide at all, but relied entirely on its extremely high speed to shorten the distance.
But this tactic failed as its head and body were blown to pieces by a volley of fired bolt bombs.
"Keep moving forward!"
Gianluca said while looking at the coordinates that the auspicious device was constantly correcting.
"Turn to coordinates P-04-O-01."
Led by him, the company stepped into the darkness. Single or paired gene stealers occasionally rushed out of the shadows. Or jump out of the pipe and launch sporadic attacks.
The malicious warriors' uniform shots killed them easily, but the increasing number of light spots on the sensor showed that more enemies were rapidly approaching their position.
Soon, they arrived at a double intersection. A tactical team turned around to cover the rear of the team, and two other teams spread out to defend the passages on both sides. Gianluca continued to advance towards the target highlighted in the helmet display, with the explosive bomb in his hand. The gun kept firing at the heavy door at the end of the passage.
The thumb-sized rocket tore apart the metal barrier, revealing the room in front of you. There were some dimly shining screens in the hall, and underneath were a large number of keyboards and buttons.
If the coordinates are correct, then this should be the launch room of the escape capsule of an Imperial destroyer. As long as they use the shaft passage to go below, they will go to a new and unfamiliar area - the area where the Mechanical Ark was found. The possibility is quite high, because after a week of "downsizing", the hulk has become less than one-fifth of its original size.
"Adams, use the guy on your hand to clean it up."
Gianluca walked into the corridor next to him as he said it, and then a sergeant came up and raised his heavy-duty weapon. flamethrower.
The next second, the promethium element exploded into the launch chamber, blowing the glass screen data display into pieces.
As the malevolent warrior poured his weapon's fuel can into the air, sparks erupted from the melting cables and thick black smoke billowed from the room, creating billowing waves along the lines of hellfire. The rising heat surged, shrouding the team in darkness.
Gianluca's automated senses flickered between different spectral options before finally settling on thermal imaging.
The metal cabinet has turned into molten iron and re-solidified on the broken floor. The charred ancient circuits were completely destroyed. Thousand-year-old pistons hung like wet paper. Several charred alien corpses Fall to the ground.
After confirming that there were no enemies inside, he issued the order.
"Forward!"
Under skilled alternating cover movements, the third company of malicious warriors quickly entered the launch room.
Gianluca then checked the launch silo. It was twenty meters in diameter and inclined downward at 45°, so it could be entered normally on foot.
However, the realistic ring of green light spots on his auspicious device flashed around them in large numbers, and their number continued to increase. The gene stealers seemed not to let them move forward, and the real battle was about to begin. arrival.
But this also shows one thing, maybe they are really close to their goal.
Gianluca ejected the magazine from his bolter and inserted a new one.
“Brothers, the glory will be obtained by us.”
Other soldiers also seemed quite excited.
"Team Adams, responsible for the rear."
Gianluca's concise order began to be conveyed.
"Prevent any enemies from attacking from behind."
"Understood, form a defensive formation."
"Team Gram, you lead the way, keep your distance to avoid accidental damage."
< br>"Yes, company commander."
After saying that, Gianluca raised the chain saw sword in his right hand and set off with the company.
A tactical team walked at the head of the team in a spread-out posture, with bolters raised horizontally and ready to fire at any time. Another team was ten meters behind the team, maintaining a high level of alert. The company then moved forward about two hundred meters. Almost that far forward, a dark cloud-like thing appeared under the auspicious scanner.
It is impossible to identify a single life form at the current distance, but Gianluca estimates that there will be no fewer than fifty.
They seemed to be moving, but he could see no intention in them.
Then those signals disappeared.
Although he felt a little uneasy, Gianluca led the company to move forward, stimulated by finding the Mechanical Ark.
Soon they encountered a tangled mass of steel frames and compartments, formed by strange warp waves that had rubbed the two ship's hulls together like fault lines in the planet's bedrock. , the line between the two ships is clear and distinct.
An unidentifiable stone-like material replaced the metal, and the color changed from the original gray and silver to green and blue. The wide and tall doorways and twisted walls and floors reminded the Space Marines They provide more space. Gianluca quickened his pace, aware that they had arrived on a new ship, an even older one.
Due to the attraction properties of hulks, the older the ships are, the closer they are to the core area.
Perhaps Mechanical Ark is only a few walls away from them!
"The control center notified all connections that the mission status has changed."
At this time, in the communicator filled with white noise, a voice from the distance sounded, which was their chapter leader.
"...All companies, suspend operations. A conflict broke out between the Slanderers and the Astral Knights. The other party may retaliate. Now all members move to the designated coordinates. Repeat again. All members move to the designated coordinates. .”
“Those damn bastards from Castor!”
Gianluca cursed through gritted teeth.
“They are always causing trouble, or on the way to causing trouble!”
“Company Commander, what should we do now?”
“It’s not easy to get here, at least make sure there are no people around. The possibility of a mechanical ark."
After thinking again and again, Gianluca ordered:
"Gram team, occupy the position on the left and defend the flank, while the others continue to move forward."
The team dispersed according to his order, and they moved forward another three hundred meters, but found nothing more.
At this time, on the auspicious device, Gianluca discovered a burst of green fuzzy and scattered signals coming from three directions to encircle the company.
"Be careful! The enemy is approaching!"
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding walls and ceilings were instantly detonated. The huge impact tore apart the metal and tore away the entire company. The formation collapsed.
Just before they recovered from the explosion, a scream that could freeze their souls tore through the darkness.
"Scream! We are here for you!!!"
In the passage at the other end of the hulk, Soshyan was leading the team away in a hurry.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, frowned, stopped and turned to look at Talos beside him.
“Haven’t we contacted you yet?”
Talos shook his head and tapped the enhanced portable communicator on his hand with his fingers.
"I don't know if it's because of interference or because those little bastards closed the communication, but now there's no movement on this thing."
Hearing this, Soshiyang's brows furrowed deeper.
"I hope they don't cause a big mess..."
Talos suddenly whispered in a cold voice.
“…such a barbaric weapon cannot be wielded without paying a price.”
Soshyan was stunned for a moment, and then looked back at the rear of the team. Because he was not at the command site when the incident occurred and no one immediately ordered it to be kept secret, the command levels of other battle groups also learned about the conflict at almost the same time.
Therefore, when Soshyan decided to set out to handle the matter personally, those allies also decided to follow along to witness the outcome of the matter.
Will this cause the situation to deteriorate further?
Soshiyang didn't know what to do now, so he could only sigh softly, step forward and continue on his way.
