Chapter 3087 Hate the Burning City
“Ricas!?”
At the chaotic moment when Ricas was surrounded by zombie-like enemies, Jacob’s voice suddenly sounded, Then he jumped down from the height, followed by the other warriors.
"There are actually gene stealers hiding! Kill them!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately opened fire and fired hot explosive bombs. At the same time, the surging plasma was not far away in an instant. The three leaders who were waving flags and shouting were torn into pieces, and another soldier used a heavy firearm to release blazing flames, engulfing the enemies surrounding Ricas. Since the temperature was lowered, it did not pose any threat to Ricas. .
Just a few seconds later, under the combined attack of intensive firepower, this group of heretics contaminated by alien genes were beaten until they howled like ghosts. Their homes also burned, with ashes and debris flying everywhere.
"Ricas, are you okay?"
It wasn't until Jacob came to his side that Ricas came back to his senses and saw the deformed "coke" on the chain saw. Finally, his hand shook and fell to the ground.
"It's okay, I took care of that bundle-bearing worm, but here"
"I saw the corpse, okay, I actually took care of one single-handedly."
Jacob smiled and punched Licas's chest. In the past, he would have been very happy to be praised, but now his heart was a little blocked. The young face that was crying in the blood spatter just now seemed to be imprinted on It was lingering in his mind.
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with Ricas' mood, Jacob grabbed his shoulder.
“Brother, what’s wrong with you?”
“No, it’s nothing, I just didn’t expect there to be gene stealers here.”
“Yeah, I’m scared too. Suddenly, a gene stealer appeared under this city. I don’t know when they sneaked in, but judging from the scale, I’m afraid it’s been a while.”
Westeros 5 had been invaded by the Tyranid before, but it was not on a large scale. At that time, the main force of the Tyranids was concentrated on the planets of Westeros 3 and 4, and the landing troops were quickly wiped out. However, It seems that they have not been completely eliminated.
“According to the activity pattern of gene stealers, a handful are found here, and there may be a large group elsewhere. We must go back and report to the company commander immediately to clean up this place. Otherwise, these small troubles will soon turn into big troubles. In other words, it’s already a big trouble.”
As he spoke, Jacob patted Likas on the shoulder, and then started the final cleaning work with the power sword.
"Leave no one behind, kill everyone who can breathe, and light everything that can be set on fire." A sword split open the head of a woman who was kneeling on the ground and wailing because her leg was broken. Jacob raised his head again. He picked up his pistol and shot to death those who were running away with their backs turned to him.
Fire, bloody flowers, screams, collapse.
Likas also joined the cleaning process. In less than half an hour, they confirmed that there were no living creatures at the scene, but it was hard to say whether anyone had escaped because of the rock wall. There are many holes on it.
The team then returned to the ground with the bodies of the bundle worms and some gene stealers. They were located in the command post in the center of the city, where Bahram directed the city's defense operations.
When he saw the gene stealers, Bahram was surprised and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
There is no doubt that Tyrann has changed its strategy. This time it is obviously an internal and external attack. What is worse is that the underground area has complex terrain and poor security, making it very easy to become a breeding ground for gene stealers. Even if Time is short and hybrids and purebloods cannot be transformed, but under the influence of many temptations such as food and faith, as well as powerful genetic viruses, normal people will become puppets of the gene stealer sect.
Not long after Jacob's team discovered that the Genestealer Sect had infiltrated into the underground city, bad news reached the command post. A heretical cult called the Beggar Sect set off a large-scale riot. Their size ranged from 100,000 to 100,000 people. Between half a million, but no one knows the real number. They chanted the slogan "Believe in the emperor and you will live, worship false gods and you will die." They attacked underground guard stations and security stations, killed militiamen and security guards, and robbed Weapons and food were obtained, and they continued to coerce those who chose to take risks because of hunger.
Probably due to its own lack of strength due to the short penetration time, this gene stealer sect does not have a large-scale spiritual network. It adopts the structure of normal human society. Their method of maintaining subordinates is to incite and coerce. , distributing food regardless of the cost, like locusts wherever they go, and those who have been robbed of food can only join them in order to survive.
The long-term shortage of supplies has made many people full of resentment, and the completely different treatment in the two urban areas above and below ground has made them even more angry. Especially under such circumstances, many upper-class people still maintain luxury He would even send servants down to buy beautiful girls. A girl was only worth three loaves of bread! The Space Marines only focus on war, which makes them feel abandoned. Most of them are refugees from the other two planets. Some of them were originally in the middle or even the upper class, but the Tyranid invasion caused them to lose their homes. Losing loved ones and being reduced to losing dignity, if this fire is ignited, it will immediately explode like a broken fuel tank, and even groups that do not belong to this sect will start to cause trouble.
With just such a method, in less than six hours, the entire Shili City was already filled with flames of war.
A Bahram with two heads immediately arranged troops to suppress it. However, the terrain at the lower level was complex, which would not only be difficult to deal with in a short time, but also require a very large number of troops.
The worst thing is that the commotion in the city was noticed by the Tyranids, or the Genestealers sent a signal, and in any case they immediately began a large-scale attack.
In addition to a large number of Tyranid creatures participating in the attack, there are also three huge insect saints. They are walking steadily towards the smoke-filled city with the pace of destruction. Above their heads are densely packed buildings like The Tyranid gargoyles and celestial witches of the dark clouds suffered several losses when the biological titans were annihilated by human aerial power. The hive consciousness also learned its lesson and gathered a large number of flying creatures above the insect saint, guarding this giant inseparably. beast until it completes its mission.
Facing this extreme situation, Bahram knew that, so on the one hand, he optimized his troops again, transferred part of the auxiliary army underground, and mobilized most of the militiamen. In a dark and complex environment, there was a lack of training. The militiamen did not have much effect, and on the ground, under the supervision and encouragement of the Space Marines, they could at least fill in the front line. On the other hand, he called for reinforcements from the knight families in the defense area.
The last step was to summon a reinforcement force that would not be used until the last moment. He was shocked when he found out about the reinforcements, but he remembered Soshyan's instructions clearly. Try not to use it unless absolutely necessary, because those powers are too precious.
Soon, on the distant plain, some towering figures slowly appeared
