Chapter 2014 Blood of Molten Steel (Part 1)
After solving the target, Oranios took a closer look. The thing in the water seemed to be a bloated zombie soaked in water. The skin was full of wrinkles. The maggot-like torso has thick legs and arms, and the huge head has no eyes, only a bloody eel-like mouth.
At the same time, there was more movement in the water, and he immediately judged what was entrenched here -
The mutant tribe, a common existence in the human world , they have various unique mutations, and usually huddle in the darkest corners. Among them, those with deeper mutations that almost lose their human form often degenerate into the form of beasts and live in the garbage dumps created by their own kind. Some kind of In a sense, it is a concentrated expression of the most tragic side of the human race in the dark 41st millennium.
But now the soldiers don't have any sympathy, they just want to get it over with quickly.
Beams of lasers burst out in the darkness, causing the reflections on the walls to tremble. Roars and screams filled the entire space. Many mutants jumped out of the water and screamed, before being shot mercilessly.
Hayes had his eyes closed the whole time. He did not dare to shoot and injure his companions. Fortunately, these things did not cause much trouble. After most of them died, the remaining ones had no choice but to flee their "home" in embarrassment.
Then the team moved forward along a pipeline with a high content of heavy metals in the water. They walked for more than 20 minutes and passed through several forks. Finally, they were guided by Oranios’ mysterious intuition. , arrived at their goal.
However, they encountered some minor troubles when leaving the pipeline
The person in charge of internal security was obviously not an idiot. They set up guards in the drainage area. Only through here, along the Go up the stairs to reach the ground. .
In the darkness, the aphrodisiac scanner in Ouranios' hand emitted a series of soft beeps, and in an instant all the discomfort of the sewers - the cold, the damp, the claustrophobia of the tunnel walls - was forgotten, and all the soldiers readied their weapons. arms.
Fortunately, the sound of sewage being released from numerous pipes gave them some cover.
"There are many signals, and there are at least fifty enemies."
Olanios said this while waving an arm frantically to attract the soldiers who followed them attention.
Ahead, the tunnel part of the sewer is about to end, and the drainage area is a large space.
"They are right in front. I estimate that the distance will not be more than two hundred meters."
With the impending firefight, a grim and serious mood fell on the Imperial soldiers. They were not elite, but they trusted them. The company commander, this man helped them get out of many dangers, even Hashet had to admit this, even though he often quarreled with him.
After walking a few steps, Olanios sent out a series of hand signals, and the three fire teams separated from the main group. They will enter the branch roads that can only accommodate one person. These small passages will allow They headed for the higher exhaust shaft.
The remaining teams advanced slowly in half-crouched groups of three, the selector switches on their laser guns ready for rapid fire.
"Prepare flashbangs"
Gradually, the tunnel widened, seemingly growing larger with every step.
"One hundred meters...ninety meters...seventy-five...fifty..."
Bang bang bang——
Several flash bombs were directly hit by Shooting out of the drainage channel, the moment the strong light burst out, the soldiers roared and rushed out.
Lost in the haze and chaos of the battle, Hayes had almost no time to think. He fired a series of lasers at the nearest enemy standing on the high platform. The protective gear and clothes on that person were immediately ignited, and the person was tragically killed. Yelling falling.
At the same time those who had sneaked into the ventilation shafts kicked off the grates and began shooting down from above. The sounds of battle were deafening, and Hayes heard the screams, the high-pitched whine of laser guns firing in full-automatic mode, the whir of flamethrowers and the roar of shotguns—all heightened by the enclosed environment. More intense.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted everything else, and Hayes heard a roar behind him.
Someone pushed him into the sewer water. This action saved him. A grenade exploded not far from him, and the shock wave caused a large splash of water.
Hayes twisted in the water, crouched and raised his gun, firing a laser that burned through a heretic's left eye and into its brain, leaving a hole in the back of its skull. Explosions of steam and red blood clots.
Even when the enemy fell, Hayes did not stand up. He crouched in the raw sewage up to his chest, his eyes scanning the tunnel through the breathing mask, looking for another enemy to kill.
He carefully selects his targets and keeps his energy packs where they can be most effective. Although he is not a sniper, he is calm and accurate under pressure.
Hayes fired his laser gun six times, each time a headshot, killing an enemy each time.
Using the advantage of surprise, the commandos eliminated most of the enemy thirty seconds before the battle began, and this skirmish became favorable to them.
One minute later, the last enemy was sent away without mercy.
Just as the battle started suddenly, it ended just as suddenly.
As always, after the battle, there is a strange and eerie moment of calm - a quiet moment of incredible silence as the men struggle to come to terms with the fact that they have still survived.
"Brother Hayes?"
The water splashed, and Peak waded towards him. He lowered his head in concern. It was he who had just pushed Hayes into the water.
"Are you okay?"
"Thank you, it's okay."
Hayes brushed his hand over his protective suit, doing his best to remove the worst of the sludge he had inadvertently collected during his brief submersion in the sewer sewage, but it didn't Improve his mood.
The commando team lost three teammates, but they had no time to deal with the bodies of their comrades because time was tight and they could only move forward.
Following the light, they climbed up the huge metal stairs and soon appeared in another huge underground space, and saw no sign of any heretic guards.
Instead, everyone just saw a dazzling network of metal pipes that criss-crossed and converged in a short, ugly metal building, and could also hear the sound of machines overhead, Rhythmic vibrations were detected in the distance from the soles of the boots, and the temperature began to rise to an unacceptable level.
At this time, the commandos have realized that they are already inside the factory. Ouranios roughly infers that they should be under the assembly line. Although it is not known why he knows the structure of the factory so well, everyone trusts him.
According to the plan, they will cross the assembly room, enter the central control room, and destroy it with melta bombs, which will cause problems with power distribution in the entire area.
After that, they had to go to the assembly area and wait for help, or let fate take its course.
