Chapter 1574: The sudden change of the Black Bee
After all, he has left his hometown and his future is unknown. Although there are various promises, it is still uncertain.
Uncertainty leads to insecurity. It is understandable for Randall that people are nervous, so he handles these matters with the utmost tolerance and often personally comforts them.
Often when people see the appearance of the Chapter Master Astartes, their emotions will quickly stabilize. Only once or twice does it reach the point where suppression is needed, but Randall will try to reduce bloodshed and casualties as much as possible. .
This time it seemed to him the same as before.
Soon, Randall, who was well prepared, took the Snow Lotus Blade, which was the symbol of the chapter leader, and took a Thunderhawk to accompany ten veterans of the first company to the Black Hornet, while the fleet continued to sail.
The entire fleet has a total of 31 transport ships of different sizes and 12 escort warships. Among them, 3 capital ships headed by the Heart of Light are deployed in front of the fleet, and the other 5 ships are placed above, below, and left of the fleet. position, and the other two were placed at the rear of the fleet to take care of strayers or rescue damaged ships. The other two were performing free alert missions about 315 kilometers away from the fleet.
Therefore, it didn’t take much time to get from the Heart of Light to the transport fleet. Randall even entered the Black Bee 2 minutes early.
As soon as he stepped out of the Thunderhawk and entered the flight deck, Randall realized that the atmosphere was not right. Not only was there no one around, but there were also many damaged servitors on the ground.
“Did the situation escalate?”
Randall immediately tried to contact the bridge by radio, but only a few garbled words came back.
". Chapter leader. Emergency. Chaos"
He frowned slightly, thought for a while and decided to go to the bridge to understand the situation first.
So the team began to move towards the bridge. Along the way, Randall saw a lot of panicked people. They seemed to be frightened, and they ran away when they saw them, although it was very easy to ask them. What happened, but Randall didn't stop.
The flight deck is not far from the bridge. Randall quickly came to the entrance of the bridge. At this time, not only was the door tightly closed, but there was blood all around. The muzzle of the automatic turret near the door Still smoking.
Randall smelled the pungent smell of blood and felt a little angry. He concluded that the captain must have used force out of control, causing the commotion to turn into a riot.
Maybe it’s time for him to change to another captain.
At this moment, the bridge door opened. Randall led ten veterans into the bridge, and at a glance he saw the trembling captain, who was guarded by several bodyguards.
"My lord, you came just in time! Just now——"
"Didn't I say that the use of deadly force is prohibited!"
Randall interrupted the other party with a loud shout.
“But what have you done!”
“My lord, please listen to my explanation! A group of cultists appeared among the residents! They incited the people to oppose the Emperor! And they also summoned demons !”
“Huh!”
Hearing this, Randall suddenly became alert, but when he walked past the door, he didn’t feel anything. The implanter of space aura-grey marrow will not be unable to detect traces of the devil.
"Are you sure it was a demon that just attacked the bridge?"
"No doubt, sir!" Just when Randall was about to cross-examine carefully, there was a sudden violent impact from the closed bridge door. The captain's shoulders immediately shook.
"My lord, they are here again!"
In an instant, all Astartes were on alert, their weapons aimed at the door that was constantly being hit. , Randall also slowly drew out the Snow Lotus Blade.
But for some reason, he still couldn't feel the breath of subspace.
This is a bit abnormal——
Suddenly, a strange feeling came from behind. This was undoubtedly the aura of demons. Randall made a move within half a second. reaction.
He turned around suddenly, the snow lotus blade flashed like a stream of light, and pointed the gun at his back. Before he could pull the trigger, the captain split into two. He could see clearly that the captain's eyes had already It became as dark as ink——
“This is a trap! Everyone, be careful!”
The next moment, everyone in the bridge launched an attack on the Space Marines, firing all kinds of firearms, and the Space Marines quickly formed a circle, protecting Randall in the middle.
The moment the gunfire rang out, a laser shot exploded on Randall's helmet, whether due to accurate shooting or pure luck, causing his head to tilt to the side, and then another shot The laser hit the right shoulder armor, and the third and fourth rounds passed by on the left and right.
In response, the bolters of the Space Marines continued to emit dull roars, and one blast after another tore apart those fragile and crazy bodies.
Randall did not participate in the counterattack. He was thinking quickly. It was obvious that this was a long-planned ambush. The enemy was so bold in launching a conspiracy in the center of the entire fleet. His courage and strategy were quite astonishing, and even more so. The scary thing is, was the enemy lurking on the ship from the beginning, or did he sneak in in the middle?
But the most important thing now is to contact the flagship quickly. Randall turned on the remote communication, only to find that it had been interfered with, so he looked at the communication station on the bridge.
"Move to the 6 o'clock direction and alternate cover."
Under Randall's calm command, the soldiers dispersed and started running towards the communication station.
If it were just a mortal rebellion, Randall would not be too worried, but he had a vague feeling in his heart that this matter might not be as simple as just a mortal cultist——
Soon, The communications station was right in front of him. The rebel communications officer had been killed by a bomb, and his body was radiating residual heat on the chair.
Just when Randall was about to step forward to operate, he vaguely heard a slight ticking sound, and some instinct made him yell immediately:
"Get out of the way!"
The next moment, the communication station exploded from the inside.
The strong shock wave pushed Randall to the other side of the bridge. Although the servo system absorbed most of the impact, the force of the fall still left a dent on the metal ground, a metal collapse. A drizzle of rain began to fall.
In a daze, he heard a scream, and through the cracked eyepiece, there seemed to be shapes swimming and laughing in the smoke.
When he got up from the ground, he saw rows of fangs frozen in the porch, claws and demon faces frozen on the wall, making the bridge gradually growing bone spurs and flesh as if it were some kind of place. The belly of a beast from hell.
At that moment, Randall already felt that something else had taken over the ship, a blasphemous heart beating in the cabin, stinky pus seeping out from the deck, and even the metal was breaking and spasming under the painful transformation.
The flesh and blood of the killed mortals gradually merged into one, and the unreal energy swept through the air like a plague. The demons that had been shut out also embedded their claws into the door, and at the same time, the pipes on the ceiling one by one Cracks, steam, filth, weird and erratic beings filled the bridge, their screams and laughter so real.
