Chapter 2740 () The Horus Fleet is approaching
Perhaps no one would have thought that before the war was about to begin, the situation on the ground on Huagai Star would actually develop in an unexpectedly good direction?
For example: the tyrannical Necrontyr Necrons were organically organized into the 'Bear Tyrant' robot army on the planet Huagai, and they were the kind with self-repairing living metal and super-powerful technology; as for what?
The secret sect was kicked even more. After killing several agents, no more signs of activity were found for the time being. Obviously, they did not dare to cause trouble again for the time being; and the green-skinned orcs, who were originally a powerful enemy in theory, became
It has become the private army of its own head of state, and is now actively fighting with the people of the Terra Empire, which directly saves the mine base from having to worry about it.
Finally, those warp demons who had serious troubles and could not be killed no matter what, and those Chaos Evil Gods who caused trouble every day, took down the original black stone obelisk tomb of the Necrontyr and started
After the renovation project is completed, their existence may soon be completely eliminated.
In this way, whether you want to admit it or not, the real situation is: almost overnight, all kinds of enemies, threats and problems on Huagai Star disappeared in an inexplicable instant.
Ever since, realizing that the situation was developing in a direction favorable to their own side, the senior commanders of the mine base, including Darius, were finally able to re-mobilize their troops and reorganize their defense work, preparing to go all out to deal with the upcoming attack.
The arriving invaders of Terra.
Because, as time goes by, Horus's large fleet has been getting closer and closer to the Huagai Star. Even if there are nearly a hundred battlecruisers in the fleet, they constantly use advanced jump engines to harass and attack.
In this way, apart from delaying the navigation of the opponent's large fleet for some time and destroying some of the opponent's warships, there is still no way to completely solve the problem.
Therefore, as the Horus fleet crossed the orbit of the four auxiliary stars and moved one step closer to the Pagoda star, the resource star that was originally placed as a sub-base was the first planet to be attacked and was about to become the first planet to be attacked by the Horus fleet.
As a last resort, the resource base on the resource star was issued a withdrawal order. The order required that the base equipment, personnel, troops, etc. on the planet must be evacuated within three days, including even a certain feared person.
The private mining base of the former boss of the large private group company Huagaixing was all included in the retreat.
Otherwise!
What surprised Hua Gaixing and an officer in charge of the retreat at the mine base was that the retreat order they issued did not receive a response from the private company for a long time, and for two days in a row, no one from the private group company responded.
There has been no response from the mining base?
Regarding that kind of abnormal situation, the mine base originally didn't want to take care of it. After all, they had already fulfilled their obligation to notify.
However, when the officer in charge saw the information of the private company boss and learned that he seemed to have a close relationship with their Head of State Anne, and had participated in important affairs of Huagai Star several times, he thought about it again and again, and finally decided to do it in the end.
Before the evacuation deadline arrived, a team of Marines were dispatched from the own base on the planet and the resource base that had completed the evacuation to take a transport plane to the base of the private mining company, ready to inquire and see what happened.
Thing.
then!
On the last day of the evacuation deadline, after several hours of flight, a medical transport aircraft arrived over the gate of the private mining company's base, and then the six Marines who landed using tractor beams quickly began to move and began to pass through the
The base's internal line goes to the company's management.
'dangerous!'
'Help!'
The result was very unexpected. The six people did not receive any effective response. They only received two short scheduled distress signals, and then the signal disappeared?
In this regard, the members of the team discussed this for a while, and then immediately reported to their superiors and received authorization to enter. They then began to forcibly crack the door of the mining company's base, preparing to enter and conduct relevant investigations.
However, something even more surprising happened: the Marines of the team never came out after entering, and they also failed to send back any effective messages in time, and the base's call to them was even more like
Like a mud cow drowning in the sea, there is no news?
No one knows what happened there, let alone what happened to the Marines in that team.
In order to understand the reason, to investigate the missing six marines and to determine the life and death of the owner of the private mining company, just half a day later, another medical transport plane departed from the mine base carrying the most elite
The assault team, that is, Wang Qing's team, which had successfully completed various tasks many times, was once again ordered to face danger and arrived outside the gate of the mining company.
"Snowy Owl 017 is calling the mining base, please answer if you hear it!"
"0912th Marine Corps!"
"Are you here?"
"Please answer if you hear me!"
Since they came prepared, the medical transport plane carried by Wang Qing and others was relatively cautious this time.
"Ziz..."
"Is anyone here?"
"This is the Snow Owl 017 medical transport plane. I have arrived above your mining base. Please answer if you hear me!"
"anyone there?"
The medical transport plane first circled and flew several times over the surface of the desolate planet based on the map display. While collecting ground intelligence, it sent out calls on all frequency bands toward the underground base where the mining company was located.
But it didn't receive any reply until more than ten minutes later, and finally had to land slowly in front of the heavy door of the mining company's base.
"Attention everyone!"
"There is no breathable atmosphere on this planet. Most of it is sulfide and carbon dioxide. If you don't want to die, it's best to keep your CMC armor mask closed the whole time."
"besides!"
"There may be enemies down there. You'd better put down the armor plates as well."
"Finally, although I am a medical soldier, I really don't want to rescue you. I only have various hormones and stimulants in my body. You can decide what to do on your own."
Wang Qing, who jumped off the cabin of the medical transport aircraft and was wearing a white heavy-duty CMC armor power suit, tightly held the spike rifle in her hand while observing the surrounding situation and giving a rude warning in the team channel.
Because, and she didn’t know why, after arriving here, she had a very ominous premonition in her heart. She always felt that if they came to this planet to perform a mission this time, the process would be doomed to be unpredictable.
Would it be too smooth?
"Ha ha!"
"Afraid of getting caught?"
"Anyway, the dead leader can resurrect us, so it'll be fine!"
"Peace of mind!"
Following Wang Qing, machine gunner McQueen jumped down with his machine gun on his shoulder. At the same time, he responded with a carefree smile on the channel.
After all, for him who has already died once, if he accidentally dies again or something, that doesn't seem to be something unacceptable?
"resurrection?"
"snort!"
"Kunzi, you'd better not think like that!"
Liu Li, who jumped out of the cabin, glared at her companion angrily and gritted her teeth in warning:
"The head of state is not willing to save you every time."
"besides!"
"If there is no body, I won't be able to save you even if I want to save you!"
"You'd better not seek death!"
Because they have been warned by the base's superiors that they must not reveal the fact that the head of state can resurrect fallen soldiers?
Although she didn't know why, she felt that resurrection required a certain price or there were some restrictions.
Also, the fact that Kunzi and the captain can come back from the dead is really unfair to the tens of millions of soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in many wars. When the time comes, once something like that happens
If it spread, God knows what kind of terrible division and turmoil it would cause in the army, which she could not imagine.
Of course, now is not the time to think about that kind of thing, so after warning a certain companion who died once and barely earned his life by crying on his own, Liu Li carefully came to the private mining company.
A holographic interface begins to open in front of the steel gate of the underground base for relevant scanning and operations.
"alright!"
"focus!"
"Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings!"
"start to act!"
At this time, as all the team members had jumped out of the cabin, and as the medical transport plane took off again and left, Captain Awen's order finally sounded on the communication channel.
"Lily!"
"Is there still no response from the other party?"
Then, he immediately walked towards the busy communications soldier Liu Li and asked.
"No!"
"But the base's gate has been cracked by the previous Marines, and the key is still there. I can open it at any time, which saves trouble."
"This mining company base seems to have a breathable atmosphere?"
"But my suggestion is the same as Sister Qing's. The marine team that came here to investigate doesn't know what happened. I estimate that there is a high probability that the entire army has been wiped out. Although I don't know the reason..."
"Anyway, it is best not to open the mask. It is recommended to switch to filtering mode for breathing."
After saying that, Liu Li stopped after a few final operations, and turned to look at their captain Awen, indicating that her work was completed and she could open the door in front of her at any time. She didn't know what dangers there were inside.
and the secret door.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Upon seeing this, the members of the team, including Wang Qing, quickly spread out and surrounded the gate in a fan shape with tacit understanding, ready to deal with various dangers.
"..."
Seeing this, Captain Awen didn't waste any time and walked to the solid metal isolation door in just a few steps.
Boom! Boom!
Then, he hesitated for a moment, then reached out and knocked lightly on the metal door panel, making it make a "dong-dong" sound, trying to attract the attention or response of the people inside.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the response he received was still only silence, and no response came from inside.
"..."
In response, he frowned, and then didn't say much. He just turned around and nodded to Liu Li, then took two steps back. At the same time, he loaded the spiked rifle in his hand and was ready to fire at any time.
"Everyone, pay attention!"
"Should I open the door?"
After receiving the instruction, Liu Li skillfully operated on the holographic interface, and after clicking a certain OK button, she quickly closed her operating interface and at the same time raised her gun.
Click——!
After a while, the door lock made a soft sound of an air pump, and then the dark door slowly opened to both sides. At the same time, due to the difference in air pressure, the air in the isolation room inside began to leak out, and then the dark isolation room in front of it began to leak out.
A somewhat cold aura hit their faces, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering at them in the darkness.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Upon seeing this, the team members immediately became alert and clenched their weapons, and then slowly entered the base one by one.
Immediately afterwards, the door automatically closed, and after the closed system automatically extracted air and injected breathable atmosphere, another isolation door in front of the isolation room slowly opened automatically, revealing a metal passage for people and vehicles to pass.
corridor.
"go ahead!"
"Be alert!"
"Always ready to fight!"
After staring at the passage for less than three seconds, captain Awen still firmly turned on the searchlights on the chest, waist and rifle muzzle of the CMC armor, and then led the team in first.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The corridor was dark, with only the tactical flashlights in the hands of the six people and on the armor emitting beams of light. At the same time, the sound of heavy metal collisions when stepping on the metal floor echoed in the empty corridor.
The quiet and dark environment made people feel an indescribable depression... What's even more terrible is that just after everyone walked through the metal passage corridor for people and vehicles to pass and came to a basement on the first floor.
While in the hall, a low roar came from a room not far away, causing the team members to stop and listen.
"!!"
"There's a situation!"
"Go over and have a look!"
Upon discovering the situation, the team members immediately entered combat mode. At the same time, under the orders and instructions of captain Awen, they carefully formed a defensive formation and quickly advanced towards the place where the noise came from.
However, in the end the team found nothing and had to continue digging deeper.
However, although nothing was found, as the team members stepped into the depths of the mining company's base, an indescribable sense of depression and crisis still hit their faces. At the same time, the dim corridors were filled with a fishy stench and corruption.
The smell was as if something was staring at them in the dark and ready to move.
"team leader!"
"Life detection found a weak signal deep in the base!"
"But I'm not sure!"
"It takes a little deeper to know what that is."
After making a comeback, Liu Li looked at the heads-up display in her CMC armor mask for a while before reporting the report hesitantly.
"Then go and see!"
"Everyone, please stay vigilant. Something doesn't seem right here."
They had come all the way, and anomalies were discovered. It would definitely be impossible to retreat at this time. Therefore, captain Awen finally gave a low command, and then continued to lead the team members deeper.
After all, in a day or two or even less than a day or two, the Horus fleet of the Terra Empire will soon arrive in the orbit of this planet. By then, this mining planet will fall, so they must
You have to hurry up, investigate the situation here clearly, and then rescue Hong Yanrong, who is familiar with the head of state.
Of course, the premise is if the other party is still alive?
Furthermore, they have all been to more dangerous places, such as the Necronomicon Tomb of the Necrontyr a few days ago, or the previous cities and sinkholes filled with subspace demons, etc.
Now, this place is nothing more than a private mining company base with some problems. Even though there seem to be many strange situations, this alone cannot easily scare them.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The team members did not have any doubts about captain Awen's decision. They just stayed close together to cover each other and moved forward. At the same time, the weapons and searchlights in their hands were pointed in different directions, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.
finally!
As the team deepened, a low roar came from a hall not far away, followed by a wild and staggering crash, and the hearts of those who were advancing couldn't help but tense up.
Then, after several people looked at each other, they immediately entered a fighting state and resolutely made gestures to search in the direction of the sound.
"strangeness!"
"Why is there no life signal there?"
"Something weird!"
Before opening the door, Liu Li felt a little strange.
However, when a few people pushed the door and entered the hall for the first time, they were immediately shocked by the scene inside: there were rows of seats, and the place that was supposed to be a neat cafeteria hall had changed for some reason.
It became a bloody hell... The walls were spattered with blood, stumps and broken arms were scattered on the floor, and most of the once-familiar workers turned into hideous faces, with pustules and tentacles covering their bodies, and mouths full of
A hatched monster that continuously oozes black slime and has an evil light shining in its eyes?
Of course, what's even more terrifying is that they were originally huddled in dark corners, but when they saw a few people breaking in and Bing Yong's dazzling searchlight shining towards them, they finally reacted.
'Roar!!!'
'Kill them!'
'Come and feel the love of a loving father!'
‘Jie hahaha!!!’
The next moment, they were roaring and laughing ferociously as they rushed toward the team members. While trying to tear the team members into pieces, they also sprayed out streams of vicious pustule juice.
"Damn it!"
"Is it the loving father?"
"demon?!"
With just one glance, several people who had participated in some special operations on Huagai Planet and had sufficient knowledge of many cults in many cities on Huagai Planet instantly recognized those monsters.
"quick!"
"Fire! Fire quickly!!"
Da da!
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!
Then a few people didn't bother to think too much about why there were demons on this mining planet far away from the Huagai Star. They just started shooting violently at the monsters roaring towards them, causing those thorns that were ten times the speed of sound.
Nail bullets poured out like raindrops, violently bombarding those rotten and twisted monsters that could not detect life signals, but were still alive, able to move and attack.
But it is a pity that although the nail bullets are very powerful and can easily penetrate the bodies of those monsters, those monsters do not seem to die and are not afraid of pain. Even if their bodies are riddled with bullets,
As long as they haven't become scattered, they will still rush towards them tenaciously, or they will continue to launch vicious attacks of putrid ichor on the team members, forcing the team to retreat in embarrassment.
"ah!"
at this time!
Liu Li couldn't avoid it, and was suddenly sprayed in front of her face by a foul-smelling pus, and she instantly let out a cry of surprise.
"Yeah yeah!!!"
Soon, the pus began to corrode her CMC armor, and before she could think of how to deal with it, she quickly screamed, and then her body began to tremble and slowly collapsed to the ground, seemingly
It's like being infected by a corrupt monster.
"!!"
"Lily?!"
Seeing this, Wang Qing exclaimed and rushed forward to help her.
"Watch out for the pus!"
"Don't touch them!"
Captain Awen also rushed over quickly. While the two of them worked together to lift Liu Li up and drag her back, he did not forget to shout a warning to Wang Qing.
"Damn it!"
"The shield cannot protect against such a low-kinetic energy liquid attack!"
"retreat!"
"quick!"
"Withdraw first!!"
Then, Captain Awen, who finally understood why the Marines who had been ordered to come here to check the situation were completely wiped out, immediately issued the order to retreat, trying to lead the team members to escape from this dangerous place first.
As for the mission, he couldn't care about it for the time being.
'Roar!!!'
However, those corrupt monsters didn't seem to want to let them go easily.
Countless monsters who had been hiding in various corners of the restaurant and did not know what they were doing roared around from their hiding places.
At the same time, densely packed corrupt monsters appeared in the previously searched passages from outside and surrounded them.
Seeing this, they had no choice but to see the critical situation, so the team members could only try their best to support Liu Li while fleeing deeper into the mining company's base.
In the process of escaping, as they continued to go deeper into the base, the corridors and rooms along the way were filled with traces of corruption and weird rituals, which made them even more shuddering.
Because they finally realized what was happening here and what they were facing now, and at the same time they also realized that it was definitely not a good idea to continue going deeper in this situation.
But they had no choice. The enemies behind them and their infected companions prevented them from stopping or hesitating at all, so they could only keep moving forward and deepening.
finally!
Just when they rushed to the deepest part of the mining company's base, and then became desperate, a thick steel door that had been closed suddenly opened in front of them. Seeing this, the team members did not hesitate to support the wounded and rushed out.
Go in and quickly find the switch inside to close the door.
There seemed to be a dark suite inside the door. The space was quite large, but there was a strange aura in the air.
However, they didn't care so much, because before they had time to take a breath, they heard the sound of monsters banging on the door outside.
But fortunately, the loud noise of the impact only lasted for a while and then gradually subsided. It seemed that the monsters knew that they could not be knocked away, or maybe there were other factors?
Anyway!
Although I really don't want to admit it, the fact is now: Wang Qing and others are trapped, and what's terrible is that Liu Li seems to be infected by those vicious puss. The current situation is very bad and must be treated as soon as possible.
OK.
"quick!"
"See if there is any other way out here!"
"Or are there any treatment devices?"
Wang Qing became anxious when he realized that Liu Li was in such a bad state that he couldn't do anything about it, and then quickly motioned for everyone to search in the secret room.
"You are finally here..."
At this moment, a tired-sounding woman's voice suddenly came from the corner of the secret room.
"!!"
"who is it?"
"come out!"
Hearing this, the team members raised their guns and fired shots one after another.
"..."
Soon, they saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness. At the same time, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, allowing everyone to see clearly the appearance of the person who just spoke.
And who is that? It is the target person they need to find in their mission—Hong Yanrong, the boss of a private mining company!
At this time, she was wearing a dress that was not suitable for activities, with high heels on her feet, and leaning in the corner with a goblet in her hand, as if she had just attended a party, and was drinking while
Looking at everyone lazily and jokingly:
"Maybe you shouldn't have come."
"Ah!"
"Everyone from the team that was sent before is dead. I didn't expect that you didn't learn your lesson so much, so I just sent a few of you here again."
"Isn't this a way to die..."
Seeing everyone slowly lowering their guns, Hong Yanrong twisted her waist and stepped forward and sighed in a voice with a hint of exhaustion.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this, several people looked at each other a little bit.
But soon they no longer cared about so much, but discovered that there seemed to be no danger here, and that the door that had just been opened was also because of the operation of the woman in front of them. Then they began to hurriedly carry Liu Li not far away.
placed them in an open space and gathered around nervously.
"never mind……"
"You guys should find a place to rest first. They can't attack for the time being. This is my refuge."
Seeing that several people had no time to talk to him for the time being, but instead started to remove the armor from the female Marine, and then looked at the vicious pus stained on those armors, a complicated emotion flashed in Hong Yanrong's eyes.
But in the end he shook his head and reminded several people:
"If you need medicine..."
"There is a medical room over there, although I don't know if it will help her?"
In fact, she knew it would be useless, but after all, the other party might be here to help or even rescue her, so of course she wanted to provide some help within her ability.
"!!"
"Is there a medical room?"
"Very good!"
"quick!"
"Help me remove all her armor, be careful, you don't get those things, remember to burn them all later!"
When he heard that there was a medical room, Wang Qing didn't bother to ask more questions. He just quickly removed Liu Li's CMC armored suit with the help of everyone, and then fiddled with it for a while before finally removing the dying Liu Li.
He was carefully carried to the medical room.
Ten minutes later...
"..."
Captain Awen walked out quickly with an ugly face, walked up to Hong Yanrong with a dark face and asked anxiously:
"We have to find a way to escape."
"Is there any other way out here?"
"Lily, she won't be able to hold on for long, your equipment won't be very effective against her infection!"
Although Wang Qing is a medical soldier, as she said before, she only has hormones, stimulants and some first-aid drugs and related first-aid measures for the battlefield. Those drugs have no effect on Liu Li's infection!
Although there is a medical room now, the medical room can only treat and deal with some common conditions and diseases. In addition, Wang Qing is not a professional doctor at all. She is just a medical doctor who was trained to act as first aid on the battlefield.
They are just soldiers, so if they continue to delay the afternoon, Liu Li will have to turn into one of those pustule monsters outside!
"A way out?"
"Escape?"
Hearing this, Hong Yanrong's hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but froze, and then she said quietly after a while:
"I thought about it too, but it's no use!"
"Unless you can defeat those monsters outside!"
"or……"
"You sent a message back to get more people to help?"
"Otherwise, we should continue to stay here and wait for rescue!"
After speaking, Hong Yanrong sighed again, then raised his head and drank the drink in his hand.
"Rescue..."
However, after listening to the other party's proposal, captain Awen smiled bitterly and shook his head and said:
"There is no rescue!"
"The fleet of Horus is getting closer. It may be here tomorrow, or it may be tonight. We are probably the last rescue force to come here."
"The superiors thought we could handle it easily, but they didn't expect..."
"Anyway, even if the base prepares to continue sending reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Besides, we can't contact the base now."
"There is very strong subspace energy here, and the communication is severely interfered and blocked. Otherwise, we might be able to understand the situation here with you before coming in. In that case, it would not be like this."
At the beginning, several of them thought that this place was controlled by some rebels or had been infiltrated on a small scale by people from the Terra Empire. They also made relevant plans for this, but who would have thought that it was actually controlled by subspace demons.
Corrupted by those cults, and it was the most difficult cult, the Fatherly Cult?
"ha?"
"Is there no rescue?"
"Then there's nothing I can do."
"Although I do have a secret passage to escape in this base, unfortunately, that place has been occupied by those monsters. If I want to leave from there, it is better to rush out from the main entrance!"
With that said, Hong Yanrong thought for a while and finally shook her head and gave up.
"To be honest, at first I thought that little guy Annie could come to save me in person, but I didn't expect that it was just you..."
"okay!"
"Don't rush out yet. The situation outside is no different from seeking death. They are much more difficult to deal with than the demons of Khorne."
"Just stay well!"
"At least we have food, drink and energy reserves here, so we can last for a year and a half without any problem."
"Maybe the war outside will be over by then."
After saying that, seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, Hong Yanrong waved her hand, and then motioned to Awen and others to help themselves. Then she twisted her waist with some exhaustion and frustration and moved toward her office room in the back.
Money goes.
