Chapter 2814 Killing the enemy and protecting the people will not end in blood (1)
Standard Terra Calendar 979.M41, Segmentum Tempestus, St. Casperon Parish, Sondheim System, Sondheim V, Port Plenty
As an agricultural world, the sky should have been cloudless and well-illuminated, but now it is covered with clouds. But if you look carefully, you will find that those "clouds" are clusters of countless tiny creatures that cover the sky.
The thick spore clouds rising from the ground soar wildly, covering the sky and bringing destruction. Through the gaps between these "dark clouds", you can see huge sea-life-like existences, waving like tornadoes in succession.
The terrifying tentacles of the earth bared their teeth and claws outside the atmosphere. Occasionally, fire would explode on them, but they could not cause any actual damage, as if they were just a cluster of insignificant sparks.
boom!
With a thunderous bang, the temporary metal gate was knocked open, and it seemed that the destruction of this airport in the northern hemisphere at Sondheim 5 was doomed.
From the time the first Tyranth spores landed, this place held firm for 12 days and more than five million people were transferred, but that was all.
A huge, bipedal walking nightmare Tyranid beast used terrifying and huge power to tear open tons of metal, announcing the fall of the door. As soon as the breach appeared, some half-human-sized monsters sprayed
Snorting and hissing, they rushed behind the door. Their sharp claws sprayed sparks on the surface of the cobblestone street. Their oval heads were covered with a layer of bone plates, with a pair of small but vicious eyes, and a
Slender and slender tail and strong hind limbs.
Accompanying the small creature that squeezed through the broken door was a creature that was as big as an overweight tank. It had an ugly alien head and wore a towering spiny shell to protect its bloated abdomen, which looked like an ugly alien placenta.
, little monsters covered in pus are constantly falling out from it and joining the sea of worms. It has very strong hind limbs and four sharp forelimbs. Although it moves very slowly, it is unstoppable and can remove obstacles on the ground.
Pushed away like toys, the entire airport trembled under their heavy footsteps.
Far behind the monster army, a pair of gloomy inhuman eyes watched everything silently.
The endless hissing small creatures left a deep impression on both the Space Marines and the Astra Militarum when humans first came into contact with the Tyranid Zerg. They were called knife bugs based on their characteristics. This terrifying Tyranid
The creatures are the vanguard of the Tyranid fleet's ground offensive, and are usually sent out in billions. As a close combat creature, they have a pair of sharp sickle claws, and their powerful hind limbs can move with extremely fast jumping movements, covering long distances.
It looks like an insect's hopping steps.
Compared with most Tyranid creatures, the cannon fodder knife bugs have a deadly hunting instinct, which allows them to hardly need the guidance of the hive mind and can devote themselves to their own hunting activities in a semi-independent state.
, their enthusiasm for hunting can even allow them to ignore physical injuries and fatigue until the moment they come into contact with the prey, and then it is time to feast, using their sharp teeth to tear open the flesh and blood of the victim.
However, the extremely fast metabolism mode will drive the knife bugs to continue to look for the next prey after eating, and this choice is random. Unless the hive mind actively intervenes to lead them to a more distant and important target, otherwise
Most of the time they are just like ordinary wild animals.
In addition to independent behavior, knife bugs can even reproduce independently from the hive fleet. They can reproduce while fighting. One knife bug can easily lay hundreds of eggs. Although their lifespan is also frighteningly short, every time the current generation dies.
Later, the new generation will take over and continue to ravage the world left by their predecessors.
The roaring knife bugs poured into the street behind the gate, like a dirty living tide. They waved their claws covered with blood and mucus, as fierce and wild as the force of nature composed of chitin and claws.
Wild and unstoppable.
However, when they entered an open area with three forks, dense bullets were fired from three directions.
In an instant, roars and whines resounded through the sky. The bullets penetrated the carapace, penetrated the flesh, and sprayed out dark purple and black pus. The crackling sound of the broken carapace was like crushing insects with boots.
The raging monster wave seemed to hit a rock and stopped instantly, with tumbling debris and corpses flying several meters high.
However, this did not stop the knife bugs. Instead, it aroused their ferocity and appetite. They began to sprint even more crazily, and tried to jump to high places on both sides to avoid direct fire.
"Hold! Hold your position! Knock down those who climb up the wall!"
Sullivan, the third company commander of the Weeper Chapter, held his own bolt pistol and fired while raising the long sword in his hand and shouting, and then accurately sent a bolt bomb into the head of a knife insect, and the explosion followed
Pulling the monster's skull from its neck, his armor was covered with scars, and there were two deep scratches on his chest where flesh and blood could be seen. The helmet was also thrown aside due to serious damage, and his face
It was all covered in blood, and his left eye was hastily bandaged with a red bandage. This was a gift left to him by a warrior insect, and he also sent that monster to hell.
Around him were the twenty-seven remaining soldiers of the third company. Everyone was injured, and some even lost their arms, but everyone was fighting. The only ones left were the militiamen - although the planet's defenses had already
It was defeated, but after the intervention of the Weeper, at least it was not completely collapsed. Now these young and middle-aged men, who can hardly be called soldiers, are using crude live ammunition weapons to shoot at the enemy. Their only heavy firepower is seven heavy machine guns.
and three antique-class mortars made in the 38th millennium for fire-fighting purposes.
The heavy weapons of the third company were also lost in the previous battle, leaving only one heavy explosive bomb.
In fact, as an empire frontier planet, the planet's defense forces are actually not that bad in equipment. At least they have enough laser guns, armored vehicles and machine guns. Unfortunately, before the Tyranids arrived, nearly half of the planet's defense forces mutinied, and the gene stealers
The pollution had already penetrated into the army, and the ensuing war directly destroyed the planet's defenses. After the Tyranid fleet arrived, the remaining troops were less than one-twentieth of the original number, and almost all their equipment was lost.
If the Weeper hadn't arrived in time, the planet would have fallen as soon as possible.
Of course, the Lamenters couldn't change the situation, and they didn't even expect that an operation to suppress the Genestealers would actually cause them to run into a Tyranid fleet!
"It's too much! It's too much! We can't stand it anymore!"
A scream attracted Sullivan's attention. He turned around and saw a militiaman throwing down his gun and turning around to run away. His behavior also made other people around him start to waver.
