Mattie Rodlin is hiding in the breeding room of her family. Her mother is a gardener, cultivating precious alien flowers for rich people, and her father is a teacher, teaching nearby children to read, write and...
pray.
But she hadn't seen them for a while. She had been waiting for them to come home.
Outside, the girl could hear everyone running for their lives and crying, and the city's sirens were mixed with some crying.
She wanted to go out and look for her parents, but she was afraid.
Suddenly, she heard heavy footsteps approaching from far away.
With each passing minute, her heart beat faster.
Then something blocked the dim light from her window and the girl pulled the blanket up slightly, now she needed it to hide.
The footsteps stayed for a moment and then disappeared.
The girl hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to put down the blanket.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door to the basement was opened, and several rough men in jackets broke in - there were also many fugitives and gang members here in Blue Ant.
"Brother, it must be safe here."
"Damn it! What kind of monsters are those? I saw it tearing a bull alive with its bare hands. That was a bull! A victorious thug in the gang!"
"They seem to be Astartes...I've seen them on church murals."
The men came in, immediately closed the door behind their backs, and blocked it with cabinets.
Each one of them was panting, with the fear of facing death.
Suddenly, one of the guys with a mohawk finally found a petite figure huddled in the corner of the basement.
"Fuck! You should feel good before you die!"
He walked over, hugged Mattie as she screamed, then threw the struggling girl onto the table and began to tear off her clothes. Several other people also joined in.
"Damn it! I found it first! I was the first one!"
Mattie felt countless pairs of disgusting rough hands touching her skin. She cried and struggled, but to no avail. There were only a few pieces of cloth left on her body, and her legs were grabbed hard.
boom!
First there was a loud noise.
"grass--"
Then there was a short scream, and Mattie suddenly felt a warm liquid splashing on her body.
The first thing she did was to shrink her body, then lowered her head and saw several mutilated corpses, as well as the squirming internal organs soaked in blood.
The strong smell of blood and the horrific scene stimulated her intestines, causing her to retching subconsciously.
At this time, a tall human figure walked past her, threw the blanket she had used to block the window, and then came to the flower pots.
"you--"
Mattie raised her head and saw a giant, a blood-stained giant wearing blue armor, who was facing away from her and staring at a flower.
Then he stretched out his hand and picked one from the culture pot marked No. 2.
It was a multi-petaled flower of deep blue, but the edge was as bright red as blood.
Mattie remembered her mother saying that this kind of flower has a special blooming time. It is beautiful and hidden, and the flower core is always wrapped in the flower film. No one can see it, just like the silent heart of the flower, quietly withering.
It is said that in the origin of this flower, travelers who have troubles and have to travel far will always pick a flower and keep it with them to symbolize their silent thoughts and the lonely road ahead.
Therefore this kind of flower is also called the silent flower.
The giant turned around and looked at the girl with the scarlet eyes on the pale skull mask, then slightly raised the wordless flower in his hand, and then inserted it into his armed belt.
Before he left the basement, he suddenly turned around and said something to the girl.
"If you don't want to die, go to Area B now without bringing any weapons."
When Sabourin came out of the basement, his team members all noticed that he had an extra flower on his waist, but no one was curious to ask.
"The company commander asked us to take charge of order, but I really want to join him in killing those star pirate leaders who are huddled together and trembling."
With a sigh, Sablin shook his head.
"Let's go, brothers, there seems to be gunshots nearby."
Talos pulled out the lightning claws from the biochemical slave warrior, feeling a wave of nausea in his body.
The liquid covering the corridor was not human blood, but a foul-smelling green fluid that came from a brass tube stuck in a slave's back.
Many similarly modified creatures fell around him.
Talos initially thought that these creatures were unconscious servitors, but their severe fear and despair revealed some spirituality that the semi-artificial creatures of the Mechanicus did not have. Finally, he discovered that these men and women were once complete human beings who had been illegally carried out.
Transformed into a weapon, it is obvious that the crimes committed by blue ants are not limited to theft.
"No one is left in this building."
Talos issued a cruel verdict. Since those people had crossed the line, they would naturally have to bear the consequences.
His lightning claw flashed under the red light of the passage. Talos was not actually very good at using this weapon, but it was a symbol. He must let the sons of the Nightmare know about this weapon.
Talos did not go straight to the target point, but chose a less conspicuous route to bypass the defense lines that the enemy might deploy. The main structure of this space station is actually an enlarged version of Blue Ant's space stations in other galaxies. There is a line that almost runs through the entire
The central corridor of the hub, but Talos chose the route of the outer corridor, which had already been in a mess by the side salvo of the Starfire attack cruiser.
Using the results of the Starfire's pre-battle scans, Talos drew a layout map in his mind, allowing him to move freely in and out of the breakthrough area, making it impossible for the defenders to determine the route of the Dire Sons.
There were twenty warriors with him, but when Talos killed his target, the warriors who accompanied him were no more than bystanders.
These mortal objects, even modified ones, are just straw in front of real Space Marines.
Talos advanced quickly and encountered several dozen more biochemical slaves in the next corridor, equipped only with wrenches, hammers, and long iron chains.
Some of them carried biochemical implants, and some carried tanks of artificial acid. They all had pale skin, bloodshot eyeballs, and their bodies were covered in sweat from fear and exhaustion. There was no war cry as they pounced on the Space Marines.
There was resignation and even relief in his eyes.
Talos's lightning claws shot left and right, cutting down several Cyborgs with each strike.
Other warriors also swarmed forward, using their blades to turn metal into scattered fragments and flesh and blood into splashes of stains.
When they broke into the emergency escape area of the Blue Ant headquarters building, Blue Ant's top executives and their families were preparing to escape on a shuttle.
The Sons of the Nightmare would not let go of their prey, so Talos beheaded the CEO first.
"It's really sad."
The surroundings were turning into purgatory. Talos picked up the frightened old head and narrowed his eyes for a while.
The screams, cries and curses were fading, and the sons of the Nightmare faithfully carried out their orders, destroying everything, young and old.
Suddenly, Talos felt that the head was gradually blurring, and the sound of distant bolters echoed in his ears, not distorted by the faint crackling sound of the helmet filter.
This is not a real sound.
"how do I……"
Talos blinked in an attempt to free himself from his gradually blurring imaginary dreams, as the shadows of huge things obscured his vision.
"……That is……"
"Company commander?"
Soon, some soldiers noticed something strange about Talos.
Talos suddenly shuddered, his servo joints roared due to vibration, and then his bolter fell to the steel floor with a thud.
"Company Commander!"
Amidst the vague shouts in his ears, the prophet saw a monstrous sea of blood and a world surrounded by a sea of blood, and then a huge steel beast emerged from the sea of blood.
He knew this huge metal nightmare and the power it represented.
"....The Spirit of Vengeance...."
Talos's head jumped suddenly, as if his armor sent an electric pulse to his spine, and then he fell forward heavily and fell to the ground. The power armor made a loud collision with the ground.
"No, the company commander has fallen!"
These were the last words Talos heard before he lost consciousness.
