Chapter 272 Sky Eagle Mountain
The abandoned urban railway used to link many materials produced by the endless industrial production in Loander. A large number of trains are still filled with various raw materials, but the war has destroyed the roads, many vehicles have derailed, and scattered things are scattered all over the ground. What was once the most important blood vessel in the city has become a blocked road.
The Master Chief chose to approach from here, for many reasons, and there are also obstacles, such as the poisonous poison permeating the craters from the poisonous fog.
Or because it is close to Tianying Mountain, which has been turned into a death altar, everything here looks gray and green, and full of filth, but what is interesting is that they did not see any dead bodies of drivers or passengers. The enemy "collected" a wave?
But here there are no traces of tracks, no wheels, because the car will definitely not be able to pass through the complex scrap iron group here.
Only the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were different. Their engines roared, and a huge Chimera armored vehicle carried nine veterans who had experienced many battles.
Those fragments and messy obstacles became the most troublesome thing for the Chimera armored vehicle. The servant's yelling kept coming from the Master Chief's communicator, and he complained about how difficult it is to move forward here, but he accurately passed through the gaps made up of those waste materials time and time again. .
But the space fighters didn't get on the car, and they walked in front of them with great force to break apart the scraps and metals, and clear the way for the car, just like a group of bulldozers.
It's a mixed bag, and for today's situation, the bunkers it creates can serve as cover for the Master Chief's advance, although the sophisticated spectral sensing on his visor is enough to keep everything uncovered.
But as expected, the enemy did not expect that there would be people approaching through such a place on the railway that is no longer capable of transportation, because it is absolutely impossible to pass heavy vehicles here. In this way, those scrap irons are not useless, at least judging from their effects , Even trash is loyal.
But when the Master Chief's complex information processing equipment touched something through its sensitive five senses, he said with certainty. "It looks like we have found the driver and passenger and are not far from our destination."
Because he saw a few fragments of things born from the magic power of the Lord of Plague in the distance, which was one of the endless nightmares transformed by the power of the Chaos Gods, although it was fragile and simple, and those things were attracted by something, Probably the Chaos magic on the Skyhawk Mountain, many of them hide in the train tunnels because they are afraid of the violent light of the stars, because the temperature will make them rot faster.
And that turbid dead thing was given an extremely appropriate name in the era when human civilization began, zombies.
This thing that has been described and recorded in ancient Terra definitely has a place in the evolution history of human civilization. The half-decomposed body wriggling and being "resurrected" by the magic power of the Supreme Heaven satisfies the original horror of human beings. imagination.
It can be said that the existence of zombies is the fundamental fear of death for human beings, and the Lord of Plague has accomplished a miracle in the eyes of human beings with a drop of extremely thin liquid in his endless crucible.
The zombie's skin has been festered, and the whole body is thin. The parts with good skin are pale, the hair is drizzling, and there is not much left, and there is probably no eyelid on the eye socket, but no one will underestimate that thing. Although it does not have much defense, its strength But they are much bigger than ordinary people, and they can run extremely fast, but there are not many of them now, so they are not to be feared.
Those monsters are in the tunnel going down from the train. I can't see how many there are, but the tunnel is not long, and it was only built to bypass the factory area directly above. However, there are many air defense areas in the factory area, and there are obviously enemies stationed there.
And the existence of those zombies means that the enemy did not clean up the ground, probably as a kind of defense.
"Shall we go around?" said the mortal servant, who was transporting the soldiers in the Chimera, a little unsure if the monster's claws would rip through the armor of his new vehicle.
"No, we can't go around the tunnel, we may encounter enemy detection elsewhere, and secondly..."
"Those monsters have good noses. Whether it's the breath from the rear of your car or the flesh and blood in the air vents above, I think their hunger for mortal flesh and blood should be better than their fascination with Tianying Mountain. Look at the foot on the right." Sergeant The captain reminded that the mortal servants also used binoculars in their belts to peer out through the narrow observation port of the armored vehicle.
And he took a deep breath, it was a scattered white bone, its joints revealed the color of red flesh, obviously that color was not the so-called dyeing, but those zombies swallowed someone alive. "I don't want to be like that!" he shouted urgently, fearing the monsters.
The Master Chief just shook the Falcon Sword in his hand, the muscles drove the fiber bundles of the power armor, and the entire armor moved slightly, so he confirmed that his equipment was still in good condition. "In the past, advance slowly. After the range reaches the charging distance, use melee to solve it. You are not allowed to shoot, so as not to be discovered by the enemy."
"I don't know how many monsters there are in the tunnel. If there are too many, use the jump backpack to retreat immediately, and then ask your adjutant to provide fire cover!"
He gave orders, capable of attacking and defending, vigilant and aggressive, his mortal servants beating his fellow Space Marines in their hearts, but the monks of the Astartes categorically believed in his judgment, and used their communicators to answer silently in the eyes of outsiders. "yes!"
Those silent, efficient giants rely on the bunkers to advance alternately. It is hard to imagine that such a huge body can be so quiet, and the power armor of the space fighters is even stronger, which can completely cover their breath and taste, the sound of action and amazing body weight.
Those stupid zombies naturally couldn't see the space fighters, and the Chimera armored vehicle was also out of sight, and those monsters that were similar to beasts naturally couldn't hinder the supermen.
The Master Chief led the way along the railroad track, at a brisk pace, until the first zombie approached, and died before even his vague consciousness detected his presence.
The Master Chief's blade pierced the mutant's neck from behind, nearly vaporizing its head, and the second monster also fell as it turned towards him after the sound, as a chainsword belonging to its brother plunged into the Its eye sockets, piercing its rotting brain.
But more monsters staggered towards him, their groans filling the confined space.The sound made the Master Chief sick, as if some kind of poison had seeped into his head.
"Turn down your armor's voice input," the Master Chief ordered as he hacked his way through the monsters. "Voice communication only."
"You feel it too, Sergeant?" a brother asked.
"That's right! There's a heresy taint in their voices, I wouldn't risk corruption." The Master Chief slammed his bolter butt into the other rotting face, smashing the thing's popping eyeball, fracturing Fluid erupted from its head, and the zombie collapsed, though still grinning.
"Should be, that's the last one now." The Master Chief commented, but when he looked up and saw the bright red eyes densely packed in the tunnel, he said immediately. "wrong!"
"There is strange movement here, sergeant, we have enemies before us!" said one brother.
"Go ahead," he replied. "We can't let these damn things slow us down or the whole offense will fail."
The brothers looked at those monsters helplessly. When the lights of the Chimera armored vehicle scattered in this narrow tunnel, densely packed bodies gathered here, and then the turret on it, the explosive bombs burst into light, and the imperial guards walking off the vehicle The soldiers shot at the monsters in unison, because of the situation, they could only kill one way.
The Master Chief, on the other hand, could only set off immediately and walk along the tunnel, searching for threats in the darkness and watching the chronometer on the helmet display, which was slowly ticking down.
And with its sharp sword tore apart one corrupted body after another...
But the situation didn't change much. The Master Chief pressed a corpse against the wall with his sturdy shoulder armor, and then violently tore open its body. The mortals of the Imperial Guard couldn't get too close because they would be corroded. Two brothers stuck together, opening the way like a meat grinder.
The Master Chief, his foe growled in rage, trying to shatter Cassian's visor with its fists, which was of course ridiculous and impossible, with none of its rotting flesh touching the Space Marine.
A brother was seen to weave aside, slashing his sword at the foe's leg, sending the heretic to his knees, and the Master Chief pressed his bolt rifle to the foe's head with one hand, blasting it head of.
"Too many." The Master Chief's body under the headlights has turned red, completely stained with waste meat and blood, crazy and terrifying, and he is the only one in the team who is not breathing heavily.
yelled the mortal servant in the chimera. "Too many, my bullets are almost empty!"
So did his brother. "Even if those zombies don't wear chainswords very much, cutting flesh still requires the use of precious monomolecular blades."
It's not that they can't get through, but the loss here is obviously not good. Consume all resources for those brainless things?
The Master Chief turned sideways, and almost instinctively broke the thigh of the charging corpse with his fist, and then stomped and crushed its head. The weight made the skull look like a ripe watermelon, crackling...
"It would be great if there were Tyrande marauders at this time. Without heavy firepower, people feel tired." He thought briefly, and looked at the wall of the tunnel next to him, then hammered hard with his hands, and then Judge by the sound it conveys.
"4 meters? It's not thick, it's not bad." Originally, he didn't think there would be so many zombies, but now he really needs a little new method.
"Guys, stick that stuff to the walls with sticky hot melt, don't skimp on the jump pack fuel, we'll stick the entire top of the tunnel!"
Those combat brothers understand, of course they may be discovered by the enemy, but the zombies obviously avoid light, if they file out from the tunnel, the people who are hit are obviously...
Those brothers who destroyed the eagle were happy to see such a thing. They also picked up their own bombs, and their jumping backpacks flashed. Although they attracted a lot of zombies, they started to install bombs on the top of the tunnel at a faster speed.
The explosion of the melta bomb is not destruction but smelting. After a quick start, the high temperature completely melts the wall, and for the enemies on the air defense array and many equipment and debris that fell from the factory warehouse, such a sudden surprise makes They were caught off guard.
And dancing with the shards was light, amazing light, first the heat of a molten explosion, then the light of the sun, the light of the stars, the heat, and the tumult.
The dead began to move forward to avoid those things, the entire tunnel became bright and transparent, and at the same time it collapsed, a strong collapse, the space warriors directly ignored it with their storm shields or their armor, and mortals had no problem hiding in the Chimera.
After the rumbling crack, the cracked tunnel turned into a strange canyon. The dead heretic soldiers and a large number of fallen equipment were wrapped in a lot of metal. The space fighters also began to exert their strength, breaking the ruins on the body with amazing force. .
And the Chaos Cultists, they didn't think that someone could clean up the zombies below without being detected without launching a large-scale force, so the space marines only heard a sentence. "Landslide! Hurry up and call someone over!"
"Gods, damn it! Where is someone! It's a space fighter, it's an Astartes, start..."
Bang, I saw the Master Chief patted the dust on his body, raised his gun and killed the yelling guy, turning the whole body into blood. The other brothers helped the Chimera armored vehicle to leave the rubble, and he left to take command immediately. "Cross the rubble and keep going!"
And those Chaos cultists have been sluggish because of such a mutation, they want to fight back, but suddenly realize that their heavy equipment is buried in the ground, many people have fallen to their deaths, and new weapon shipments have arrived, and who have left , but they still fired, it's just that the automatic weapons didn't even hurt the joints of the Space Marines, let alone the Chimera armored vehicles and they were moving at high speed.
Those shootings were not even an obstacle, those space fighters and Chimera armored vehicles drove the zombies forward like shepherds, the powerful monsters were stimulated by the heat and strong light of the stars, and subconsciously used their bodies to tear apart the creation Defenses built by their cultists.
Corpses filled the trenches, tearing open sandbags, barbed wire, and even heavy machine guns could only defend for a moment before being swallowed up. Thousands of cultists died in just a moment.
Until the invincible Lemanus tank stopped those zombies with its terrible main gun, and blasted the flesh and blood together with its own soldiers, and Ed von Ka, who was dispatching soldiers on top of the tank, asked with a dark face. "Who invaded here?"
The scout answered right away. "It's...a team...a team with only ten space fighters and one armored vehicle!"
Ed von Ka smiled, he was pissed off, he made strict demands and painstakingly defended, but the zombies broke through 40% of the line of defense?
But he said quickly. "Call the rune team, the ceremony will be completed in a day and a half, I'm going to be safe, and I, I will become the first Alpha + level psyker in the history of this star area, just like Skater did not like that!"
