Just as everyone was inspecting their surroundings, waves of roars came from the distance.
Soshyan knew that it was definitely not a sound that any human being could make. That voice was full of animality, and the emotion in it was far beyond the word "anger" to describe it.
Soshyan looked back at the experienced warrior. In terms of Terminator tactical experience and Hulk combat experience, no one present could match the Deathwing Master.
"There must be a very large group here. Genestealers and greenskins have a similar structure in some respects, that is, the larger the group, the stronger the mind that rules this group."
Soshyan believed Beria's words deeply, which is why he actively sought to cooperate with Dark Angel - the experience provided by the other party was indispensable for this Hulk Operation.
"This place can no longer maintain an aerobic environment. We need to go deeper to find an area suitable for establishing an advanced base."
As they continued to move deeper into the corridor, Soshyan looked around, keeping a distance from the hall while constantly observing the surrounding environment.
Until now, the Genestealers have not been seen, but Soshyan believes that they must have been moving in the ink-black ruins, but they are afraid of showing up easily due to the number of Astartes.
The large sensors carried by the Tech-Priests are constantly issuing warnings, alerting everyone to the invisible enemy.
The warriors walking at the front could occasionally see the shadows passing by in the darkness. From time to time, they would make a gesture ready to charge, but they would hide back into the shadows the moment the angels raised their weapons.
After that, the large force passed through the last section of the hall. This corridor was wider than Soshyan expected, but the previous forced landing had already caused some damage to it.
In some places, entire sections of walls have been destroyed, perhaps due to alien acid or heavy weapons.
Originally, this place should have displayed the exquisite paintings of countless skilled craftsmen from ancient times, but now they have all turned into ashes and turned into dust under the feet of the Space Marines.
"According to the scans, there should be a security hub ahead, which is basically still sealed. Once we get there, we may be able to establish an advance base."
In addition to the small teams assigned to clear the surrounding passages, the main force continued to move forward, following the instructions of the scanner and heading towards the security hub.
Fortunately, the main passage of this pilgrim ship is spacious enough to accommodate several Predators in parallel, so it does not seem crowded with so many Space Marines and Terminators walking in it.
More than once on the road they took a defensive stance when they saw the lanky shapes of the aliens hiding in other corridors or holes in the walls, but just like before, they retreated before contact each time, as if they were
A group of children are playing a tracking game.
They would then follow the squad in all directions, challenging the Space Marines' patience before the next attack.
Soshyan suspected that these aliens were tempting them to waste ammunition. He twice stopped the soldiers from turning an entire passage into a sea of fire. Although the promethium reserves of the heavy flamethrower were considerable, they were not endless, and gene theft
The author seems to already know this.
For Belial, there is only one explanation for this behavior: there is a node creature nearby, a commander of the Genestealers.
Although gene stealers have the same intelligence as humans in the hybrid stage, when they "return to their ancestors" and become pure blood, they become no different from other beasts and will only act according to their own instincts.

But a node creature can turn them into a well-disciplined army with a single thought. This is the enemy they are facing: the leader will not hesitate to sacrifice a hundred times in exchange for the enemy's casualties, even the eyes can
Won't blink.
After all, this is the Tyranid's most powerful weapon.
They quickened their pace and continued to move forward. Occasionally, the pilgrim ship would shake slightly. This was the fleet "cutting" unimportant parts of the hulk from the outside - this was also the strategy proposed by Soshyan. They did not need to wait for the hulk to be completely
Solve the problem only after it is discovered. After scanning the peripheral area, you can use a large laser array to "slim down" the bloated hulk, which can greatly reduce the alien's range of activities.
During this process, the crawling sound of the aliens never disappeared, and the biological detectors constantly warned them that there were invisible enemies around them.
"It sounds like every alien in this area is coming for us."
Randall whispered softly.
"That's just right."
Chapter Master Titus of the Ranger Warriors raised his heavy flamer.
"Just make the bonfire a little higher."
"Better save fuel now."
Soshyan said, pointing with his finger to the reinforced gate of the security hub ahead.
"Here we are."
First Company Commander Mark walked straight towards the door covered with claw marks, and the metal creaked under the pull of his hands.
After he pulled out a gap, the technical priests bolted the magnetic decomposer into the crack of the door and cracked the door's magnetic lock.
Soshyan walked in first, followed by the others into the security center.
The wide space on the other side of the door was filled with rubble. Obviously, the door failed to keep the flames of war out. The walls and ceiling of the room were severely damaged. Soshyan also noticed the hastily piled rubble in the room.
Sandbags and fortifications, and two rows of marble sculptures were placed parallel to each other on both sides of the central aisle. Almost all of them were knocked over to the ground and shattered into a pile of stones.
"They're fighting their last fight here."
Soshyan said as he looked at the scattered wreckage and laser gun batteries scattered on the ground. He kicked the body of a genestealer with only its shell remaining, and wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"In the end, he was swallowed up by the alien in despair."
Soshyan looked up at the ceiling and walls again. He saw eight vents that were open and large enough for an adult to pass through. Apparently, the last resisters did not notice that the enemy would appear from these places.
All attention was focused on the gate, so they were killed while the gate was intact.
Just imagining the scene at that time, Soshyan could feel the sadness and despair.
The Deathwing Terminators finally entered the corridors of the security center, their backs swaying as they advanced from cabin to cabin, checking each one for the presence of evil.
But they found nothing but stone statues looking at their searchlights, only forgotten statues on the outer sensors, only monuments in the darkness depicted on the echo sensors, and only traces of themselves on the motion sensors.
