A row of contemplators were placed beside the walls of the command post hall, some of which had been shattered, and some were still running quietly. The contemplators' arrays extended to another huge arched hall room, armored glass boxes, workbenches filled with data panels, and the wreckage of gene stealers in broken sample tubes on the floor showed that this place was also taught by mechanical training as one of the laboratories for alien research.

"If it's a gene stealer attack, they won't leave a similar wreck here."

While observing, technical sergeant Carl walked towards a damaged monitoring console. The robotic arm on it was damaged and the fiber bundle at the fracture was still sparking.

He stretched out a metal probe and stabbed the damaged device, turned his head to look at the other parts.

“Can the indoor monitoring content be restored?”

Faced with the company commander's inquiry, the technical sergeant shook his head.

"No, it's strange that the data here are destroyed. I'm not sure if it's done by the enemy or the priest here, but... I feel more like I'm attacked by some kind of electronic weapon, but this doesn't fit the characteristics of all the electronic attacks I know."

At this moment, Surena suddenly recalled something and said softly:

"Is it possible...the space undead."

When he said this, the technical sergeant's expression was also stagnant, but after a moment, he suddenly clapped his hands gently.

"Yes, that kind of scratch must be huge metal claws, and it is very sharp and hard metal. Gene stealers will not have weapons of this material, only space undead."

"So this place was attacked by the undead, but it was said before that they had never had any sightings, and their tombs should be under the city of Coke Oven..."

At this moment, Surena's after-lightness saw something, and immediately clenched the plasma pistol. The technical sergeant asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Something is here...it's coming."

The technician looked up and saw something coming out of the hole in the ceiling, which seemed to slip from the second floor of the building. It made a metallic buzzing sound when it moved - and you will find that it was a giant metal insect, flat like a scarab, with fierce looking hooks and claws on the edges, hanging in the air with silver wings, dragging limbs with blades, small red lenses focused on the Space Marines, and their glittering jaws clattered.

"The micro-mechanics of the space undead..."

As soon as they finished speaking, everyone heard a low and loud crackling and buzzing sound above their heads, and then part of the ceiling collapsed under the weight of thousands of metal scarabs, rolling down from the collapsed place like an avalanche.

Even before Surena could react, a beetle pounced on him, its jaw squeaking over his armor.

"Damn it!"

Surena slapped the beetle on her body, then waved the power sword to constantly break the beetle running around.

Next to him, the tech sergeant was doing the same, he swept the space around him with his gear axe, and the other Terminators began to fire frantically at the surrounding floor, bombs shattered countless scarabs, but countless bugs flocked to fill the gap.

"Pay attention to the side!"

From elsewhere in the hall, more miniature killing machines were rolling up their slender legs, leaping forward, buzzing through the corridor.

"Get out! Exit here!"

Surena knew that the longer she stayed here, the more dangerous it was, so she threw out a plasma grenade and began to command the team to retreat to the door.

"Flamethoner!"

Technical sergeant Carl also shouted, overshadowing the chirping noise.

"Take this against them!"

A veteran who used heavy fire to block the door and flushed each area with solidified liquefied flames.

The scarab twitched in the flames, like ash rising from the fire, and some flapping their burning wings hovering upwards.

At this time, gunfire sounded in other places, and the team's reports rushed to Surena.

"Enemy was found outside the wall! They emerged from the ground!"

"The claws in human skin are alien!"

"Space Necromancers, these are space Necromancers! Bomb their heads with plasma!"

"Can the automatic turret be restored?"

Surena knew that to restore the automatic turret, he had to enter the control room, but now there were scarabs inside. Then he looked up at the sky, and the Storm Falcon and Thunder Eagles were shooting and bombarding, and continuous explosions were heard outside the stronghold.

Just as he was about to connect a driver's visual display to see the size of the enemy, the wall on one side suddenly broke open, and Surena, who was standing nearest, was knocked out.

The one who bumped the wall was a monster. It looked like a solid rectangle, larger than a brutal blade, and its legs were squirming constantly on its lower body. A pair of vicious claws stretched out from both sides of its mouthparts. The head was just a metal plate covered with lenses. Many scarabs gathered on this creature. Surena had never seen such a strange mechanical body, nor did he know that it was called the Tomb Stalker.

Feeling the threat, the fire-breathing Terminator turned around and just hit its two big claws.

Out of instinct, the Terminator veteran aimed his weapon at the enemy, and the burning flames roared and swallowed its body - but it did not work.

Then the pliers clamped the Terminator's helmet tightly, and more limbs were nailed to the Terminator and picked it up from the ground. Then another pair of pliers clamped the veteran's arm at extremely fast speed and pulled off his arm holding the weapon.

So much so that no one had time to save the machine, the head of the mechanical body bloomed like a metal flower with sharp petals, and its sharp mouth ruthlessly cut the Terminator's helmet and pierced the back of the veteran's head.

When the Space Marine's head exploded, blood and fresh meat gushed out.

During long-term dormancy, the space necromancers are protected by silent and tireless machines, and among these powerful mechanical engines, the most terrifying one is called the Tomb Stalker by the unfortunate victim.

The tomb stalker has a solid shell made of living metal, covered with mechanical parts, bladed limbs and sharp armor plates. This centipede-shaped structure is often as big as a dozen people. Using a mysterious phase generator, it can drill into the lord's grave, go freely on the solid ground, and can also make it pass through inert matter like water, through rocks and stones, and effortlessly through the ruins and rugged terrain often scattered on the battlefield.

With the combination of huge size and regeneration, the Tomb Stalker is almost an indestructible war machine, surpassing even the more common Necromancers warriors, these insect creatures will continue to slam and kill fiercely, although they have been injured or dismembered.
