Chapter 2900 The Dark Territory Outside the System
"Their armament standards have even surpassed those of the founding group."
As the Space Wolves spoke, their eyes kept scanning the nearby Tenth Company soldiers, and then fixed their gaze on Ricas and the melt dissociation gun he held.
"There are a lot of things here that you can tell at a glance are not legal weapons of the empire. I'm afraid there are some things that are hard to say."
Nulus said calmly:
"Captain Soshyan has already said hello. They purchased some special equipment from the short man."
"Short guy? Is that...the group of short guys who are suspected of being aliens and are doing business and mining everywhere?"
"As for the nature of the short man, the empire has no final conclusion, and the Alien Tribunal is also controversial. It cannot be said to be an alien, at least not yet."
"But for a war group to purchase weapons that are not recognized by the Adeptus Mechanicus from a controversial... non-imperial force, it is not a normal thing to do. Those who dare to make such a decision are very courageous.
ah."
"This is not something we should consider. We just do what we do."
Suddenly, Nulus' eyes behind the helmet narrowed slightly, and Space Wolf Ulerson hissed:
"It seems that Tyranids have also found a way to deal with phosphate weapons."
At this time, Bahram also discovered something strange. It stands to reason that the first target of the phosphorized weapons is the Hive Tyrant, but when the entire protective wall was melted, it still stood among the surging phosphorized active fire.
, even its guards.
Then, Bahram discovered the situation. Those tyrant guards were surrounded by a halo of psychic energy visible to the naked eye, and the armor behind them was slightly open, and the pulsing brain tissue could be vaguely seen.
The twelve tyrant guards formed a solid psychic barrier, blocking the living fire that can burn almost all physical substances. This is also the only weakness of the phosphating weapon. It has almost no lethality against non-physical energy.
"It turns out to be a specialized psychic guard."
Immediately afterwards, the tyrant raised his head and let out a provocative roar, and four brainworms emerged from the diffuse poisonous mist. Their swollen brains immediately began to glow, and a strong psychic halo surrounded their floating bodies.
With a click, the surging spiritual energy first gathered together in the form of lightning, and became a shock wave when it landed. The wave from the subspace quickly swallowed up the rolling living fire, opening a safe path.
Amid the roar of the Hive Tyrant, massive warrior bugs led small creatures into the gap.
But the next second, the leading warrior bug was beaten to pieces by a firestorm composed of laser, plasma and heavy explosive bombs.
"Concentrate your fire on the warrior bugs first, use the plasma cannon, and knock out the brain bugs!"
Bahram commanded the company to use intensive firepower to block the shooting, and at the same time mobilized heavy weapons to attack the brainworm first. However, the opponent relied on the psychic barrier opened by the Tyrant guard on the ground and was not afraid of long-distance shooting. Instead, it accelerated the extinguishing of the phosphorus fire.
.
"If the people of the Death Watch are not here, I can use the gray marrow to kill the tyrant..."
Seeing the Cerebrates standing still under long-distance shooting, Bahram subconsciously glanced at Nulus and others, who were also working hard to shoot at Tyron.
"It's really hard to do anything when outsiders are around."
At this moment, an unexpected scene appeared. The Tyrant Tyrant raised its head slightly, as if it had seen something, and then let out a low roar. Then it retreated in unison, along with the Tyrant's guards.
retreated, and there were brainworms in mid-air.
Within a moment, they all disappeared into the billowing poisonous mist.
"Um?"
Without the tyrant's command, the frontline insect swarm suddenly became a little chaotic, and the living fire that had been extinguished a lot began to rage again, and began to expand rapidly with the help of the "combustion" of Tyranid biomass.
But Bahram was a little confused. Then he raised his head and saw the outline of an aircraft faintly drawn through the thick clouds in the sky. It looked like a Thunderhawk.
"Could it be...chapter leader?"
"You're pretty smart, you knew I was coming."
Standing behind the Thunder Eagle's open hatch, Soshyan looked down at the billowing poisonous fog below. The thick fog made it difficult even for him to see what was really underneath, but he could see the psychic agitation belonging to the Tyranids.
Feel it clearly.
While the Thunderhawk engine roared, the screams of Tyranid flying creatures continued to sound in the sky.
"Forget it, I won't continue playing with you."
After closing the door, Soshyan returned to the cabin. There was only Amnak here now. He was sitting on his seat, gently wiping the sword in his hand with yellow silk.
"Amnak, in the past, have you, or rather, you, ever known anything about the beyond of the galaxy?"
After hearing Soshyan's question, Amnak raised his head, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"Your question is a bit over the top."
"How should I put it? I have always been curious about whether subspace only belongs to the Milky Way, or whether it covers a wider area."
"I can't answer this question for you."
"Why?"
"Let's put it this way, I'm like a fish in the sea. Every time I come out of the water, what I see is the same continent. Maybe it's just in a different direction. But if you want to ask me how big the sea is,
Even how many rivers it intersects, I can't answer, because I didn't have this concept at the time, and now that I'm on the shore, I can only know how big the land boundary is, and how big the sea is, so I have to fly into the sky
Maybe you just know.”
"Then what do you think of creatures like Tyran? I can feel that they are related to subspace, and even their consciousness gestalt is essentially a psychic structure, but it is more special and more powerful. If
If we say that there are life forms outside the Milky Way that can use psychic energy, does that mean... that the scope of subspace is by no means limited to the Milky Way?"
"Maybe it's possible."
Amnak paused, looked at Soshyan, and suddenly showed a look of understanding.
"It seems that you have had the idea of leaving the Milky Way?"
Soshyan neither admitted nor denied.
"But Tyron's performance makes you realize that the outside of the Milky Way is by no means a pure land. It may even be a more dangerous realm, and you cannot truly escape the gaze and manipulation of the gods."
"I'm just asking what you think about Tyran. What's the use of saying all this extra stuff?"
Amnak raised his eyebrows with a smile.
"Their origins are by no means simple. The logic of normal life is to proliferate, and eating and reproduction are just processes. However, Tyron's seemingly simple life structure goes against this logic. The logic of their life is to eat, and proliferation is a process. This is
It means that they are not life in nature, but a group of organic machines with inherent levels. I suspect that there is something more dangerous hidden behind these bugs."
