Chapter 3069 Living Satellite
In the occasional flickering picture, a strange creation hangs in the dark void.
If you look at it from the front, this is a dead, round asteroid, and you can even clearly see the craters scattered on it, but as the camera turns, something truly terrifying emerges.
On the back of the star, there are densely packed tentacles of different sizes floating slowly in the void. As the camera moves, the picture gradually begins to blur. A large number of snowflakes appear on the screen, as if they have been seriously affected by something. interference.
“It may look scary, but this is the picture captured by the reconnaissance drone we sent ten minutes ago”
Even if it is disturbed, the camera is still trying to get closer to see more details. Among the tentacles that are as thick as weeds, you can also see more irregular limbs, claws like dead branches, and huge pincers. , eel-like mouthparts, and other indescribable things, as if the regularity and nature of living things have been completely broken, and they were stuffed into a furnace and cast at will.
Finally, the camera captured bright yellow things, and then the whole thing turned black.
". The interference in the entire galaxy is very serious, not only in subspace, but also at the physical level. Electrical signals, optical signals, and even gravity are all distorted in some way. Our existing methods cannot directly To enter it, you can only quickly cut in from outside the galaxy at normal cosmic speed, but it is obvious that these interferences come from this kind of thing, and at least six of these things have been detected around and inside the galaxy. If you break in rashly. The risk factor is very high.”
Soshiyang frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked:
“Is the signal interference coming from these things?”
"It's not clear, but it's possible. We haven't dealt with the Tyranids many times, but we've never seen this." Combined, this scale and volume."
Soshiyang raised his head and looked at the picture of the planet-level Tyranid creature that was constantly playing back on the other big screen. He originally thought that the Tyranids were the largest. It's a hive ship, but I didn't expect that there is something even more terrifying. With the size of this thing, if it appears on the battlefield, it doesn't need to do anything at all. It will directly hit a planet. Human beings have almost nothing to do now. Means can prevent it.
“But they did not appear in the Tyranid fleet, is it because they cannot move quickly?”
Thinking of this, Soshiyang’s eyes lit up.
"Yes, this thing is probably a fixed sentinel. They cannot move with the Hive Fleet and can only serve as guards in a certain area."
Bernaud nodded.
“I agree with this point of view, but this is a real trouble for us, because we don’t know what they are and what capabilities they have. But since the Tyranids chose to use them to surround this galaxy, it means that they It won't be something easy to deal with."
"Can it be destroyed from a distance?"
"It's unrealistic. Look at its structure. I guess most of the body is hidden in the small body. Inside the planet, what is exposed is likely to be weapons or sensing organs. With the fleet's current firepower, it will be very difficult to destroy a giant Tyranid creature hiding in the thick crust of the asteroid, and it is not sure whether the other party will. Fight back.”
Soshyan was lost in thought. After taking two steps back and forth, he came to the floating tactical screen on the left. "Have there been any traces of the Tyranid fleet so far?"
"Not so."
In fact, from what Byrno said, Soshyan also I can guess what the other party is thinking. Although they are hired and they say they are at the command of Soshiyang, the Hearthborn don't really want to fight for their lives. After all, if you have a life to earn, you have to spend it. That's how mercenaries are. The fierce and fearless attitude of the Rock Berserkers is very rare.
Now the other party has not said it directly, but his attitude has been shown, and he does not want to take too many risks.
Regarding this, Soshyan didn't want to complain. After all, his original idea of hiring the Hearthborn was just to take advantage of the other party's navigation skills that were not easily interfered with. To put it bluntly, he was just taking a boat.
"Let's do this, Captain Byrno, command the fleet to sprint towards Sondheim 5 as quickly as possible. There is no need to fight during this period. When we reach the high orbit of the planet, we will directly airborne. Next The fleet can quickly go to a safe area at the edge of the galaxy and wait. After about 72 hours, you can lead the fleet back to orbit and pick us up."
This plan is definitely extremely risky for Soshyan. High, which means that they must fight alone in a world full of Tyranids without support, performing a nearly suicidal mission, but this is the best way to reduce the risk to the Hearthborn fleet. And it is equivalent to placing all the lives on the conscience of the furnace descendants. If the furnace descendants run away midway.
After hearing this, Byrno was secretly happy, but he was also a little embarrassed. After all, others They were hired to fight. After hesitating for a moment, he said:
“Isn’t this too dangerous?”
Soshyan shook his head with a smile.
“Danger is synonymous with breathing in the dictionary of the Astartes, you don’t need to worry too much about us.”
“In this case, there is a group of orbital support in the longbeard-class armory We will launch all satellites when you are airborne. They can provide a certain degree of orbital firepower. We will also launch a fully automatic communication command vehicle for you, which can create a stable communication channel for you and monitor the orbit. Command and dispatch the satellite on board."
"That's great, let's get started now. Let's go to the flight deck to prepare."
"Okay! Wait for the signal from me. ”
Soon, the entire fleet began to accelerate. Relying on the powerful engines, the Hearthborn ships quickly reached their ultimate speed, and plunged into the fallen star system like a fired bullet.
At the same time, the dead-like "Tyranid jellyfish" finally reacted. Their tentacles, which were originally like fluttering tentacles, began to twitch non-stop. Soon they began to disconnect on their own and turned into Each squirming flesh sac quickly burst, revealing a creature with fangs, claws and huge mouthparts.
Bernaud in the bridge saw this scene and immediately understood something, hissing:
"It turns out those are not tentacles! They are dormant Zerg biological ships!"
In an instant, the entire galaxy was like an angry swarm of bees. A large number of biological ships appeared in the originally empty space. And although these biological ships were not large in size, they all had one characteristic. There are many pores in the back half of the body, and high-temperature sulfur gas is constantly sprayed out from inside, making them much faster than normal biological ships.
After releasing a large number of biological ships, the huge Tyranid satellites began to move slowly and sprayed out a large number of void spore mine clusters. The craters on the outer shell of the asteroid also turned into pitch black. The cave, and then various huge biological weapons strangely emerged from it, and began to release weapons such as biological plasma and biological torpedoes. At the same time, it also created stronger disturbance signals. If viewed from subspace, the entire galaxy would almost become It became a bottomless "black hole", in which there was only boiling malice and hunger, and even the demons could not avoid it.
