Chapter 2143 The Fallen Moon (Part 1)
Although they are all called Hunter Armor, strictly speaking, Hunter Armor does not refer to a single type of power armor. In fact, every set of Hunter Armor has With unique equipment, which may even involve some powerful and ancient lost technologies, most Hunter Armors surpass the level of most imperial military equipment. They not only have built-in weapons and automation equipment, but also have complete self-control. The circulation function can provide energy to the wearer on a regular basis, and can even self-repair to ensure that frequent maintenance is not required. This is something that even the Astartes' power armor is not as good as.
But the most amazing thing about the Hunter Armor is its "experience value" system. When the user continues to accumulate experience through combat, the suit itself is also adapting to the user and prompting him to realize his potential. Very few There are Imperial weapons of war that can do this.
Of course, being extremely powerful means being extremely expensive. It is difficult for non-top hive nobles to purchase a set of Hunter Armor. Even wealth alone is not enough. What is needed is influence. , background and good relations with some of Necromunda's top nobles, and because these things are custom-made, their time is extremely long.
Arni's father happened to have a good friend of Necromunda. Back then, a prodigal son of Necromunda went to the Maelstrom to work as a bounty hunter, and happened to meet Arni in an incident. After getting acquainted with their young father, the two experienced a thrilling legendary adventure - destroying a sect of gene stealers and becoming close friends in life and death. Later, Arni's father learned that this prodigal son turned out to be someone from Necromunda. The heir to a super wealthy family, the two kept in touch with each other through letters after the other returned to his hometown. Arni's hunting armor was also made by his father at a high cost when Arni was born.
However, Arni was not interested in Lord Hunter culture, and this culture itself was not popular in the Maelstrom, so he paid little attention to it. It was not until before the war that his father obtained this set of armor and forced it on him.
But Arni felt that this kind of armor represented a barbaric and cruel culture. Even if he went to the battlefield, he would not want to wear this thing. Moreover, its shape was not very good-looking. The whole thing was composed of huge artificial metal tendons. , there are additional armors on the limbs, shoulders, chest and abdomen, and the hands are huge gloves, five or six times larger than Arni's fists. When put on, he must look like a gorilla.
This kind of hunter armor is also called Orus. It is characterized by artificial tendons that can greatly enhance the strength of the human body, and a set of oversized fists with built-in explosive weapons, allowing brutal melee power. Combined with ruthless long-range strikes, it also has a set of stances to protect it from long-range attacks. It can be called a model of combining offense and defense. After wearing it, it can easily slaughter a bottom gang of more than a hundred people.
But Arni has realized that this battle is likely to be extremely dangerous. In order to survive to witness the victory, no matter how "indecent" means, he needs to use it.
Soon, he took off his military coat and walked into the metal container——
"Retreat! Repeat: Retreat!"
Hashet shouted with all his strength.
"Everyone retreat to the next trench!"
Hashet's voice was soon drowned by all kinds of chaotic shouts, but Hayes and the others heard it clearly and immediately A decision was made. He turned around and ran back, but people kept stumbling on the scattered corpses in the middle.
"Help, help! Brother Hais! It caught me! Someone come and save me!"
Hearing Peak's scream, Hayes turned around and after taking two steps, he discovered a horrific scene.
He saw Peake's arms flailing in feeble spasms, his abdomen torn open, his entrails dangling, held like a limp puppet in the hands of a towering Chaos Space Marine covered in twisted horns and the eight-pointed monster holds a chainsword, teasingly slicing at Peak's screaming flesh.
As Hayes opened fire, throwing Peak's body aside like a rag doll, he turned to look at the little thing and began to advance toward him.
Hayes was almost suffocated by the opponent's momentum, but in order to save Peak, he still mustered up all his courage and tremblingly raised his laser gun to stop its advance,
The laser hit the monster's belly, then its chest, shoulders, and helmet.
The laser beam briefly flashed brighter as it passed through the helmet's visor, but it was meaningless. No matter how many times Hayes hit it, the Chaos Space Marine continued on unhurriedly. It seemed unstoppable: to itself. Physical pain seems as habitual as the pain of others. All the while, the roaring sawtooth in its hand came closer and closer, as eager as its master to test its sharpness on Hayes' body.
Hayes retreated and fired. At this time, everyone around him had already run away, and no one in his company noticed what happened.
If he turned around and ran away at this time, it might not be too late, but Hayes glanced at Peak who was still lying on the ground and was worried!
“For the Emperor!!!!”
He directly raised his rifle and rushed towards the opponent. Even the Chaos Space Marine was stunned for a moment. Then Hayes threw a grenade as fast as lightning and then lay down.
With a bang, a large amount of gravel fell on Hayes.
When he got up, something hit him hard in front of him.
The huge, blood-stained chainsword, while the Chaos Space Marines emerged almost unscathed, laughing mockingly from beneath their helmets and even throwing the weapon in front of Hayes as a form of humiliation.
Hayes sat on the ground and stepped back. The other party came over. When he picked up the chain sword again, it was the time of Hayes' death——
"Brother Hayes, let's go!!!"
Then, unbelievably, Peak suddenly screamed and jumped on the back of the Chaos Space Marine. Hayes didn't know where he got the strength. He wrapped his arms around the power backpack behind the opponent, even though the high temperature immediately burned his hands to smoke, and his intestines were pulled in the mud behind him.
When the Chaos Space Marines tried to pull him down, in the madness stimulated by the pain, Peake actually smiled at Hayes, then raised one hand above his head, opened his mouth with blood spurting, and shouted Crazy roar.
Hayes saw the five iron rings on Peake's fingers gleaming and realized that his comrades must have pulled the tabs off every grenade in his belt.
“Peak!”
boom--!
As Peake and the Chaos Space Marines disappeared in the roar and flash of the explosion, Hayes was flipped onto his back and felt a sharp pain in his cheek.
The pain was so intense that he almost fainted instantly. However, Hayes maintained his consciousness, but his eyes were blurred by blood, and more importantly-
He only has use of his right eye.
