Finally, under the action of a blasting grenade, the melted hatch shattered into a piece of metal fragments, and the Kentkas walked into the broken door one by one.
As the searchlight illuminated the path forward in the corridor, Sabourin took the lead, and the other team members followed closely behind him. Several detection servo skulls flew to the left and right and to the ventilation ducts.
"Cesaire, Werther, you are responsible for guarding the rear of the team. Li Lin, you need to track the identifiable signal and see if you can find a safe node to contact the bridge."
Gradually going deeper into the corridor, everyone saw many traces, torn corpses, coagulated blood stains and even visceral fragments splattered on the walls, huge claw marks, twisted chitin remains, and it was obvious that there were traces of fierce battles everywhere.
But so far, they have not seen a living Tyran.
The power system here seems to be down, and there are only weak emergency lights. With every step, the shadows of the Terminators jump and dance. This is the preparation area of the flight deck. In addition to various large equipment, there are also equipment almost as tall as them.
The wires are twisted and winding between the brackets, and the terrain is very complex.
For some reason, Sablin always saw something flashing quickly among the wreckage out of his peripheral vision.
Soon, the team came to an open area along the corridor. Four people were covering the flanks and rear of the team, and the other four were distributed in a fan shape in front, with two heavy weapons men in the middle.
As they advanced alternately, they swept their guns and searchlights into the darkness.
Dirty dust surrounded them, shimmering under the light, when Sabourin noticed something seemed to be hanging from the beam above his head.
"Potential threats detected! Everyone stay alert and stay together!"
He immediately issued a warning and wanted to confirm the strange shadow, but Li Lin had already spoken.
"Threat confirmed! Coordinates 75,92!"
The originally silent preparation area suddenly became noisy, and Tyranids of various appearances emerged from the shadows. Most of them were knife bugs, gun bugs, warrior bugs, and snake bugs.
"Brothers! The fun is coming!"
Li Lin's voice suddenly became excited. At the same time, the two heavy weapon men in the middle of the team immediately activated their weapons. The first roar was the assault cannon. The dense bullets swept through the darkness like a bright line, and the bones and armor instantly shattered.
Flesh and blood exploded.
Immediately afterwards, the Terminators on the flanks also began to fire with their plasma machine guns. The blue bullets covered the violent swarm like a rainstorm, leaving them riddled with holes.
But the number of swarms of insects was too astonishing, and the speed at which they rushed up far exceeded the speed at which they fell.
"Burn them!"
The two Terminators carrying Anverus-type heavy flamethrowers became a solid barrier against the insect tide. The flames they shed ignited the carapace, causing the aliens to scream and roll in the flames, and completely dispelled the darkness.
Li Lin, who was holding a chain saw, also laughed and shot at the warrior bugs with the storm bolter on his back, but Sablin always felt that he was missing something...
Suddenly, he remembered and looked up.
"There's something up there, spread out!"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately left their original position without thinking, and then a shadow fell to the ground and made a deep sound.
It has only a vague outline and seems to be visually transparent. If it were not for the distortion of light caused by the flamethrower, it would be difficult to identify it with the naked eye. Even the thermal imaging and hunting vision of the Terminators would be difficult to see its existence clearly.
All I know is that its outline looks similar to that of a warrior insect, with long limbs and twisting tentacles.
But Sablin immediately guessed what it was.
"Bundle-bearing worm! Tyran threw up a bundle-bearing worm! Kill it!"
Then the transparent outline straightened up, revealing a yellow-purple mottled carapace body, an oval head covered with predatory tentacles, hazy yellow eyes with vicious gaze, and a pair of sickle claws nearly one meter long.
From its back arched, long whips protruded from its strong arms, and stinging tentacles protruded from under the carapace. What was shocking was that its size seemed to have more than doubled, from the original warrior insect to
The size has become a being much taller than the Terminator.
Moreover, its carapace is very different from the description of the appearance of the beam bearer that Sabourin has seen in his memory. Although the Adeptus Mechanicus also believes that there are very few Tyranid assassins with such high camouflage or even invisibility capabilities.
It is the same, but the changes in appearance are rarely so drastic. Its torso is thicker, its head is protected by a ring of proliferated chitin, and its ribs have ever-expanding meat hooks.
There is no doubt that this is most likely a new variant of the bundle worm. Sabourin's helmet quickly recorded the opponent's physical characteristics.
"give it to me!"
With a roar, Li Lin rushed over, the Terminator's servo and the chain saw in his hand roared, and launched an attack on the monster.
However, the action of the bundle-bearing insect was equally fast. It used the bone armor on its claws to clamp the roaring chain saw halberd, and then suddenly retreated, causing Li Lin to lose his balance, and then the meat hook from his lower abdomen shot out.
, stabbed towards Li Lin, the sharp thorns hit the terminator and burst out violent sparks. Although it could not penetrate, it was knocked back several meters away.
Sabourin had already rushed over from behind the opponent at this time, with the multiple tubes of hot melt in his hand ready to fire, but the opponent suddenly jumped a second before shooting, and instantly flew dozens of meters away. Its target was a
Shooting its weapons at other Tyranids, leaving its back to its terminators, as if this stirred its instincts.
"Mocather, be careful!"
Hearing the reminder, the soldier turned around and pulled the trigger. Facing the dense bullets, the claws of the bundle-bearing insect were as fast as lightning. The tips of the claws penetrated the breastplate, but before they could go deeper, they were roared.
The chainsaw halberd cut it off.
"Is Mokaser okay..."
"It's... it's not deep, it's okay..."
The stabbed Terminator pulled out the broken claw, and a stream of blood spurted out. Then the Terminator's emergency system was activated, and the filler quickly repaired the punctured armor wound.
At this time, Sabourin also aimed at the opponent and ignited the melt gun. The hot flames instantly penetrated the body protected by the thick carapace and cooked the soft organs underneath. The bundle-bearing insect howled in pain, and Li Lin moved forward.
Running forward, the dying beast staggered back, arms spread apart, claws ready to close at any moment.
"die!"
Li Lin waved his forearm vigorously and aimed at the opponent's neck. The sharp teeth of the chain saw pierced its spine. The bundle worm screamed and its head rolled down and fell to the ground. Then the tall and strong body fell to the ground.
, spurting out bright corrosive blood.
During the battle with the bundle-bearing insects, the team maintained a high degree of tactics. The others were relieved to leave the battle and the back-up to Li Lin and Sabourin, focusing on fighting against the Tyranids attacking from all directions, so as to not let the situation slip.
