Chapter 2887 Jedi Submarine (Part 2)
At present, this new composite bolter has no name. This Tyranid battle can be regarded as an experiment for new weapons. It is usually equipped in companies 1-3. , but the 10th Company also allocated some, and Jacob was the user.
After finishing, he checked the communication backpack on his back again to ensure that it was working properly. This is the only channel for them to communicate with the rear. Tyron can interfere with most communications. Only by carrying this kind of specialized anti-interference equipment Only then can they communicate with the rear.
"Everything is fine here, how about you?"
Then Neil also finished checking the weapons, a chainsword and two pistols, but one was an explosive He has three pistols, one is a plasma pistol, and six grenades. His main weapon is also a composite plasma bolt gun, but he also carries an arc rifle on his back. This type was originally mainly used by the Skitarii. Weapon, I don’t know who has tinkered with an Astartes version. This arc rifle is more powerful and has a self-protection function. It can also jump multiple times after hitting the enemy. It is a very efficient range-kill weapon. The key point is also It can carry out charged attacks, and then increase the power to produce powerful denial force.
"I have no problem here."
After Neil said that, Kusakla also completed the inspection. Because he is still a new recruit, he only has a plasma pistol, 6 grenades, and his melee weapon. He won third place in the Recruit Tournament and received a prize - a power sword. His main weapon is an ordinary bolter, and his secondary weapon is a universal railgun from the Hearthborn. This sniper The gun has extremely strong penetrating power, and the smart bullets have a tracking function after aiming and locking the target. Soshyan ordered a batch of ordnance from the Hearthborn during the Maelstrom Expedition, and this was one of them.
Although it is a Hearthborn weapon, it is not unknown in the Empire, but it may attract criticism if used by the Astartes.
But when it comes to fighting, sometimes you don’t care so much.
“Boss, I have no problem here.”
Finally, there is Likas. He has basically the same configuration as Kusakla, except that his melee weapon and secondary weapon are different. His melee weapon is a chain sword, and his secondary weapon is a deflagration dissociation gun with a silver metallic texture. , can be understood as an upgraded version of the explosive weapon, with two modes of focus and dispersion, similar to the fire spear of the Eldar Fire Dragon Warrior.
This thing is completely imported from the short man, and its appearance has only been modified to adapt to the Astartes body type.
"I have no problem, captain."
"Okay, let's go."
The four-person team walked out of the windmill wreckage, with one person walking in front and two in the middle. The standard formation of one person at the rear walked carefully in the yellow mist formed by the spore cloud.
Violent winds would blow from time to time, bringing up sand and dust and causing the yellow mist to flow like liquid. During this process, their cloaks were able to cling tightly to their backs and were almost unaffected by the wind.
In order not to trigger the spore mines above their heads, they had to lower their waists as low as possible when moving.
Suddenly, Jacob, who was walking at the front, raised his hand and made a tactical gesture. Ricas and Kusakla immediately stepped forward, while Neil turned his back to the three of them and watched behind them, slowly retreating. .
Finally, they came behind a rock. Jacob poked his head out slightly, and with the help of the additional optical observation equipment on his helmet, he filtered out the interference of the fog and saw a group of Tai Lun Zhenghao. A mighty force passed from the front, mostly knife bugs and gun bugs, with some large creatures among them.
“Oops!”
Suddenly Jacob cursed, jerked his head back, and then made a gesture. The other three immediately retreated to the shadow of the boulder and clenched their weapons.
With a bang, a warrior bug jumped directly onto the boulder, and then looked around as if looking for something. Instead, the four people under the stone held their breath and were ready to fire. Unable to find its prey, the warrior insect raised its head and roared, turning a blind eye to everything under its feet. It jumped down from the boulder and quickly disappeared into the mist through the smoke.
"Wow, wow, wow, you haven't seen this. Are the Tyranids so blind?"
Kusakla was the first to speak as usual, but was immediately interrupted by Ya Cobu hit his helmet hard.
"Shut up! Tyran's senses are very keen. Even if we communicate by radio, we may be detected."
Jacob carefully took out a miniature detection robot from the tactical box on his thigh. This thing, which was about the size of an adult's thumb, vibrated its miniature wings and flew out of the shadow of the boulder, hovering at a height of twenty meters, transmitting the surrounding images to Jacob's tactical eyepiece.
After confirming that there were no Tyranid ground creatures around, Jacob waved his hand and walked out first with a gun, followed closely by the other three.
“I guess it’s the function of this cloak.”
Ricas said softly and shook the cloak.
"Then this is so amazing. There is no equipment visible on it. Is the fabric itself special? But it obviously can't cover our whole body. It looks more like psychic energy than technology."
Neal suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.
“Don’t make random guesses, the war group does not have any think tank, nor does it involve any psychic technology.”
As the four people deepened, more weird and terrifying scenes appeared, such as As they passed through the destroyed city, they saw large areas of fat, multi-legged creatures not much bigger than bags vomiting huge amounts of bile into pools dug by strange-looking stag beetles. Jacob and others thought this was Possibly a unique construction behavior, they didn't know that the Tyranids were building digesters to absorb minerals and organic matter from the soil and rocks, and for the next dozen cycles, there would be burrs. Grow from the ground, extract and transport the materials needed by the Hive Fleet, and then be eaten and recycled at the end of the consumption phase.
When they passed by the digester that had been built, they saw what had grown into huge capillary towers. They were like space elevators, directly connected to the biological ships in orbit, used for large-scale transportation from the planet. Harvested biomass.
"It's really scary and incredible"
Jacob stared at the huge capillary tower not far away like an umbilical cord. Regardless of other things, the scale alone was enough to call it a miracle.
“How can living things have such strength? How do they overcome the atmospheric pressure, gravity, difference in heat and cold, and even the rotation of the planet during the period from the ground to orbit?”
Rika Si also exclaimed in surprise. After all, a pipe made of biomass connects from the ground to the space orbit. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never believe that such a thing exists.
As they deepened into the Tyranid occupied areas, more and more Tyranid creatures began to become common. Not only were there swarms of knife bugs and gunworms, but also groups of three or five that looked like They are a group of warriors who drive small creatures away like a herd. This makes their actions more difficult, but it also means one thing -
They are getting closer to their goal.
