Just as the Storm Claw team was bombarding the huge biological Titan, the black Night Watcher also began to descend. The door opened before landing. A soldier from the 10th Company stood inside the door, holding a heavy bomb.
Shooting at the swarm and shouting:
"Come up quickly!"
"Walk!"
The four people quickly jumped into the cabin, and then quickly ascended without waiting for the night watchman to close the door. Within two seconds of leaving their original position, a large number of maggots covered the ground with mucus. When these creatures hit the ground, they immediately released a large amount of acid and liquid.
The toxic substances corroded the ground into a large pit nearly ten meters long.
The Titan, which missed its target, immediately let out a furious roar, but had no choice but to watch the night watchman disappear from sight, then turned around and began to move towards the Holy Crown Mountains.
boom----
Suddenly, more than a dozen thunder gliding bombs detonated near it, several of which hit it directly. The melta warhead penetrated the thick carapace, creating an astonishing explosion inside the biological titan. In the red steam cloud, a huge
The creature wailed and lay down with broken limbs like a collapsed toy.
"Chapter Commander, the Tenth Company has destroyed the Titan hatchery and reported some Titan creatures that are not in the records."
In the command post, after hearing the report, Soshyan, who had not rested for ten days and nights, took the data board handed over and read the text report and image information on it.
The focus is on the Tyranids' biological titans and those jumping knife bugs that have evolved the ability to slide and jump. There are also giant bugs that are covered with super-hard carapace and look like tanks.
In fact, in the past ten days, Frontier has reported more than twenty unrecorded Tyranid biological variants. In other words, the hive consciousness has been evolving in response to human defense strategies, and this evolution occurs almost on a day-to-day basis.
As a unit, its tactics may be a little rigid, but its methods are the most flexible and changeable that Soshyan has encountered.
"Give these detailed biological reports to the Mechanical Magi and have them register them in the Tyranid Biological Data Column, emphasizing the characteristics of these creatures."
"yes."
At this time, Farzad suddenly walked in from outside the headquarters.
"Chapter Commander, the toxic mist is getting bigger and bigger and is about to reach the stronghold. I'm afraid the protective masks used by the soldiers can't withstand it."
Soshyan glanced at him and said calmly:
"What's the situation at Stronghold 4 now?"
"There is no problem with defense, but we need to save ammunition. However, because we are at the lowest altitude, the poisonous gas is already approaching the protective wall."
"It has nothing to do with altitude."
Soshyan led him to a screen, and then greeted the technical priest on the side. The other party immediately transmitted the image. Soon the screen flickered, a cloud of light yellow smoke appeared, and then a strange existence appeared inside.
It is about the height of three adults, looks skinny, and is covered with a plate-like chitin carapace. In front of it is a Tyranid head with the lower half of its face covered with tentacles. Its limbs are all tentacle-like limbs, and its back is thick.
The carapace protrudes into chimneys, constantly emitting billowing light yellow smoke. When it moves, it looks like a creature floating in the water, somewhat similar to a brain worm, but it has a strong tail that can support it on the ground.
"It has something to do with it."
"This is..."
"The biological sages have temporarily named it the poisonous smoke insect. Most of the spores and poisonous smoke on the front line are formed by it. If we hadn't chosen a high-altitude position, we would have been swallowed up by the poisonous smoke. But now the entire ground has been
Basically covered, Tyran has modified the poisonous smoke, and the smoke they emit has become 'lighter', which is why we have the current situation, and these poisonous smoke bugs are very cunning, they will only hide in the poisonous smoke
, almost never appear in the line of sight. It is quite difficult to kill them accurately. In addition, there are a lot of them. Since they can fly and are not restricted by terrain, they are very difficult to deal with... Tyranids have more
The cards can be played, but the cards in my hand are about to run out."
Hearing what Soshyan said, Farzad, who has always been known for his courage, could not help but look worried.
"What should we do now?"
Soshyan turned to look at him and said something that surprised him.
"When you go back, immediately organize the evacuation of Stronghold 4. I will send the air force and artillery to cover you."
"Ah!? Withdraw...our defense is still good..."
"It still is, but... Sage Cornelus Medici, would you like to come over?"
Hearing Soshyan's call, the alien researcher from Ulanhuda quickly walked over with his mechanical lower limbs.
"What are your orders, sir."
"Tell the third company commander about these Tyranth spore poisonous smoke."
The biological sage immediately stretched out a mechanical tentacle and inserted it into the meditator on the side. Then a line of numbers appeared on the screen, as well as some photos, showing some struggling and festering people.
"...The latest research results show that there is actually an extremely complex biophagous organism hidden in the poisonous smoke of Tyranth spores. The sophistication of this organism is beyond description. They can almost resist most immune means, and they can be briefly exposed to it.
Even the Astartes can cause nausea and uncontrolled muscle spasms. If a mortal is unlucky enough to be exposed to the gas for more than thirty seconds or so, the Phage will gain a foothold in the body, capable of replicating itself at an alarming rate.
, spread to the victim's whole body system, decomposing organs and tissues, so that the victim will eventually choke to death in his own foam and infected body fluids, and what's worse is that these microorganisms will also overproduce in a closed space, making even
Even people wearing protective equipment or power armor cannot escape completely, because they will first block the filtering equipment and attack the victim by seeping into it bit by bit. If the concentration is high enough, it may even be enough to fill it.
Ventilation system, corrupted air purifier.”
"This...how is the concentration now?"
The biological sage did not give a specific value, but said very euphemistically:
"The concentration of poisonous gas surrounding the Holy Crown Mountains is already...very high."
After speaking, Soshiyang nodded slightly.
"Thank you for your explanation, sage. Go and continue your research. The soldiers have brought back new mutant samples."
"yes."
Only then did Soshyan look at Farzad.
"This is the current situation. We have no way to deal with Tyranid's poisonous gas. The planet's atmosphere will soon be destroyed. Our only method is to delay. The altitude of the Snow Palace is still safe. According to the current rate of rising poisonous gas, we can still
Can last for fifteen days."
Farzad nodded, but after hesitating for a moment, he said cautiously:
"What if after fifteen days..."
Soshyan didn't say anything, just raised his chin with his hands behind his back.
"Let's go on the retreat mission."
Farzad gave a sharp salute, turned around and ran out of the headquarters quickly.
