Chapter 3048 The Spirit-Brain Beast
“Covering fire! Destroy this alien bitch!”
Hayes’s high voice stood out among the roar of the insect swarm, followed by the melt. The sizzling sound and the dying wail of the Mistress
Hayes rushed to the side of the downed Space Marine, and without thinking, he stabbed the warrior commander in the abdomen with his chain sword and started the engine. The serrations cut equally through the chitinous exoskeleton and the underlying soft tissue. The beast twitched as it was pierced by the blade, blood splattered on Hayes' armor, and the Space Marine turned the opponent's claws around, stabbed it into the head, and then pushed the body away. open.
He glanced at Hayes, gasped, picked up the tomahawk, and hissed:
"Return to your position, soldier."
Hayes didn't say anything, but quickly returned to the shooting area with the melta team, but in the process he saw two Flesh Tearers Dragging a wounded man back from the front line.
The alien's sharp claws tore open the abdomen protected by the power armor, causing the angel to suffer a catastrophic blood loss. In particular, there was a deep wound on his left chest, which seemed to be It was like a fountain. In addition, half of his face was burned by strong acid, and one eye almost melted in its socket, but even so he was cursing the aliens.
Whether one can survive such an injury, Hayes is not sure, but this is also what makes the Flesh Tearers fear and respect mortals. They are really cruel, but they are also really brave and very brave. Fearless, many people have witnessed the fall of angels with their own eyes. It is hard not to feel respect for them. Perhaps it is the long and cruel battle that has polished each of them into sharp weapons. It is easy to hurt the enemy and to destroy oneself. People stabbed.
At least as far as Hayes was concerned, they were indeed terrifying, but they were also fighting all the time, almost never stopping. Sometimes he was really curious why the Flesh Tearers had this unique contempt for their enemies, Contempt for others, even contempt for one's own madness or culture, but it is completely different from the fact that they are all Lamenters from the blood angel lineage - which one is the real angel?
What is it that shapes them like this, and what is it that creates such huge differences between Space Marines?
With the continuous efforts of the Flesh Tearers and the continuous burning of lives of the militiamen, the insect tide began to be pushed out of the gap little by little. At the same time, the huge pump truck of the Mechanicus also drove to the scene, and then The thick tube stretched out and began to spit out a thick, earthy gray substance like vomit. It only took a few seconds for these things to start solidifying. Then it was obvious that the Space Marines could use jump packs to return to the wall, while the militiamen would be left behind. outside.
Things quickly developed like this. The Flesh Tearers lit their backpacks on fire, jumped onto the parapet one by one, and started shooting downwards, not only shooting at the Tyranids, but also at the militiamen who tried to turn back.
Although he admires the bravery of the Flesh Tearers, Hayes hates this cruelty. The mixture of the two emotions makes people feel mixed, but in any case, this crisis seems to be over. ——
“Ah!”
Suddenly, Hayes covered his head in pain, his face twitched, and he screamed subconsciously.
Not only him, but everyone around him also suffered from various painful symptoms, because there was an invisible ripple of screaming cutting their eardrums and nerves.
Two seconds later, this silent scream turned into a substantial roar, but it was not a sound, but the space was roaring. A wave visible to the naked eye instantly tore open the gap being repaired, and then passed by The pump truck hit the pump truck, and then a certain component in the vehicle's internal mechanical structure was cut off. It spun wildly and hit the ramp on the side of the protective wall. The huge momentum lifted its tail off the ground, and then it crashed down. On the ground, a large amount of quick-drying materials sprayed out like rain, turning the surrounding area into a sticky gray swamp. Some unlucky militiamen were directly covered, and their lives were frozen in the struggle in the last few seconds, leaving Hundreds of lifelike statues appeared on the battlefield. And it’s not just the militiamen who are unlucky. Many people on the parapet have been turned into scattered corpse fragments, most of which are headless. Sticky scarlet stains can be seen on the ground, and there are even those of Space Marines. A body wrapped in armor.
Just as Hayes was trying to fight against the screaming in his ears and blurred vision, he heard the sound of bolt gun fire not far away.
"Evil Feeder Beast! Evil Feeder Beast! Find a way to kill it!"
Hayes was still in a trance at this time. A big armored hand pressed his shoulder. He turned his head and looked. When it came to the Flesh Tearer he had rescued, the opponent's helmet had been thrown away, and the crimson face had turned pale. There were still freshly dried blood stains on the corners of the eyes, nostrils and ears. It was obvious that the opponent had been severely affected.
"Soldier! Organize firepower!"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed forward. The first thing Hayes noticed was that there were only three fingers left. When he followed the When looking in the direction of the finger, the whole person became energetic instantly.
It was a huge four-legged Tyranid monster, with a thick carapace and a brain-like body that replaced muscles. Translucent shadows surrounded the monster's eyeless head, like some light bodies. The tentacles of the cephalopods, those psychic tentacles whipped the surrounding air, making a wet explosion sound, and under the body of the Tyranid monster, there was a sea of blood, and the corpses of the militiamen were almost "liquefied". The tissues had turned into a scarlet substance, as if they had been put into a blender and stirred. Only the complete skeletons remained as their last traces in the world.
And this thing is also listed as one of the Tyranid creatures with the highest danger level. It is on the same level as the super giant beasts such as the biological Titans. It was named the Evil Feeder by the Mechanicus. It is an enhanced variant of the fragile brainworm. Loses the ability to fly but gains greater psychic and defensive powers.
When I was studying the characteristics of Tyranid creatures in Hayes, the list of critically endangered creatures made it very clear that when troops at the regiment level or below encounter this creature, they should first choose to avoid it, and the regiment level should avoid it first. It is not recommended for the above troops to engage in direct confrontation without professional weapons. The most important thing is to call the legion's Astartes for support.
To make matters worse, the emergence of node creatures caused the Tyranid clusters that had originally shown signs of collapse to reorganize at an incredible speed and attack the gap again.
"Fire! Fire to deal with it!"
Hayes immediately ordered the still confused soldiers around to organize firepower, and even slapped a few soldiers who were still in mental shock, and then the whole The firing position was boiling, but the live ammunition and energy bodies only left a ripple on the psychic shield protecting the monster.
The situation began to deteriorate at an extremely fast speed. The insect nest seemed determined to break through here. Amidst the roar of the Thunder Eagle, all the remaining soldiers of the Flesh Tearers rushed here, including their company commander. At the same time, the air force began to arrive one after another. Join in support, while the heavy artillery fires from a distance, trying to block the hive's subsequent reinforcements - shooting too close may hit the parapet, creating larger and more gaps.
