Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 169 The Strange Gang

Fu Qinghai followed Huerda through the labyrinth-like complex three-dimensional honeycomb structure.

It's like playing the live-action Monument Valley, Warhammer 40K Hive City Special Edition.

With a general knife on his waist and guns in both hands, Hulda walked quickly ahead.

And Fu Qinghai followed her unhurriedly.

Fu Qinghai could easily keep up with this gang woman, but he maintained the necessary vigilance.

Inconsistency, insidiousness and cunning are the survival rules of the Hive City. An Astartes with the logo of the Martian Mechanicus on the shoulder armor and full of weapons and equipment?
It will make most of the hive gangsters feel awe and fear, but it may also inspire the greedy desire of some daring people... Who knows, there is never a shortage of life-threatening gamblers in the hive capital.

Fu Qinghai looked at Huerda's back with cold eyes, and glanced at the surrounding environment from the corner of his eyes.

The two walked in the gap between the huge transmission shaft and the bent crankshaft, lifted the curtain of iron chains hanging from the giant pulley block, and climbed over the broken steel wall.

Fu Qinghai looked at the shattered gears that were still running in the distance, and the huge flywheel like a Ferris wheel. There was a "creaking" sound of friction in the bearings, and golden-red magma was flowing and dripping between the gaps in the piston rings. , forming a lava waterfall.

Some giant machines from ancient times are still running tirelessly today. No one knows what these machines are producing or maintaining. No one knows what is providing energy and power for these huge mechanical creations. Perhaps it is The geothermal heat deep in the earth's core may be some kind of ancient technology that cannot be understood.

Tech-priests should be sent to study these ancient machines.Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

The empire's level of rule over the world of Schwerin Nest Capital is too low, and it may only stop at the level of collecting tithes and leaving nothing behind.

Many worlds within the empire's borders are like this.

Fu Qinghai felt that he and Hulda were like two little mice walking through a huge chassis, and had to avoid the danger of mousetrap from time to time.

Taking advantage of the moment when the lava waterfall solidified and blocked, Huerda saw the right time, and before the magma dripped in pieces, he rolled quickly through the gate with one stride, and the lava waterfall was like a golden-red glowing curtain, covering the entrance of the passage again.

The woman stood up, took a slight breath, and turned her head to see that Fu Qinghai was still following her closely.

Hulda's heart trembled, and he continued to lead Fu Qinghai forward without saying anything.

"We seem to have come full circle?"

Fu Qinghai asked as he walked.

Huerda, who was walking in front of Fu Qinghai, nodded:

"Yes, this road is unmanned, only the danger of these machines that are in disrepair, and if we go the other way, we have to go through the territory of the Long Tooth Gang, they are a bunch of bloody food Terran."

Fu Qinghai turned his head and said lightly:

"You should have taken me another way."

The plainness and confidence revealed in the words made Hulda scratch her head in embarrassment.

The space fighters were indeed not afraid of the nest gangs, but Hulda didn't want to be killed by stray bullets in the chaos, so she chose a safer route.

The journey was long, and Fu Qinghai couldn't help thinking, if he had known that he would be teleported to a hive city by the Tombstone Gate, he should have made a hand-held augury instrument in the Marvel comics universe to bring it, perhaps facing the hive city Complex environments are not so passive.

The bird divination instrument is a highly integrated, multi-type data-sensing information collection system widely used by the human empire.Space warriors are not helpless when faced with a complex battlefield environment with a limited field of vision. There are two miniaturized bird divination devices, the scanning type and the siege type. The former focuses on energy detection, and the latter The latter strengthens the function of geological detection, and is the favorite of the civil dogs in the space fighters-the Iron Warriors and the Fist of the Empire.

During the landing battle on Planet Rosewell 7, the tactical tablet that Guert held was an auspicious bird.

It's a pity that if there is no if, Fu Qinghai wants to save assimilation points to assimilate more important weapons, so he never thought of making a bird divination instrument in advance.

"By the way, Hulda, what's the name of your gang?"

In order to pass the boring long journey, Fu Qinghai asked casually.

There are lone rangers and bounty hunters in the hive capital, but there are not many of them. Huddling together for warmth is the way to survive in the hive.From the tattoos on Huerda's face and the decorations on her body, Fu Qinghai knew that she was a gang member.

Hearing this question, Hulda raised her head proudly and said:
"Spartans, we're called Spartans!"

The Spartan Gang, the name is a bit strange. Compared with the overall cultural level of the hive capital, it is slightly out of place.

Fu Qinghai asked with interest:

"You seem very proud of your gang?"

Hulda nodded:

"Yes, my lord, although we are a new gang that was established recently, we are not weak. Our boss thief is fucking strong. He is different from others. He is not a lackey of those noble families in the last nest. He will lead We're headed for victory after victory!"

Oh, are you so confident?

In Fu Qinghai's impression of Necromunda's hive capital, the powerful big gangs in the lower nest are almost all the agents and black gloves of the big families in the spire, and it is difficult for a gang without nobles to back it up. Be stronger.

If it is true as Hulda said, then it is really interesting.

While talking, the gang woman saw the large-scale spray painting on the metal wall in front, pointed at the wall and turned around excitedly:

"We're almost there."

After speaking, I am ready to move forward.

But Fu Qinghai held down his shoulder.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, a steel girder tens of meters wide above the head loosened and fell suddenly, smashing the suspended steel girder bridge in front of Hulda, rolling and falling into the depths together with a large number of auxiliary components. In the bottomless abyss.

Huerda was shocked. If Fu Qinghai hadn't held her down just now, she would have been crushed to pieces by the falling steel beams.

Her chest was heaving, and she was still in shock. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the broken bridge in front of her. The gap was at least ten meters wide, and she would definitely not be able to jump over it.

Before she could react, Fu Qinghai slid his hand around her neck, activated the jetpack on his back, and the turbofan soared into the air with a roar, leaped over the break, and reached the other side of the broken bridge.

Fu Qinghai put down the woman in his hand, and said:
"continue."

Hulda looked up at Fu Qinghai gratefully, and hurriedly led the space warrior forward.

When crossing this metal wall, Fu Qinghai glanced at the spray painting on it.

A black eagle with its wings raised high, with a shield in front of it, and a ball under its claws.

……

Fu Qinghai and Huerda came out of a large rumbling elevator, and Huerda turned to Fu Qinghai and said:

"My lord, this place is already within the lower nest range of the main hive city of Schwerin's hive capital."

Fu Qinghai nodded:

"Thank you, Hulda, for being an excellent guide."

Huerda stood there and hesitated for a while, then said to Fu Qinghai:
"Master Astarte, if you want to find the way to the upper nest, I think our boss will have a way."

"Oh?"

Fu Qinghai turned around, looked down at the gang woman, and said:
"Do you know the purpose of my going to the nest?"

She shook her head and said:

"I don't know. I just guess that our boss may be interested in you. If you are willing to wait here for a while, I can go and notify him."

Fu Qinghai thought for a while, then nodded slowly:
"Ok."

Hulda turned and left.

Fu Qinghai stared at her leaving back.

This could be a trap.

But just like in the Conjuring universe, Fu Qinghai, who has just arrived, needs some contradictions and conflicts to lure snakes out of their holes to obtain more information.Even deliberately created contradictions and conflicts are fine.

After Hulda left, Fu Qinghai carefully surveyed the surrounding environment, confirmed the position where the encirclement circle might be formed, and the best direction to break out of the siege, and then sat on a raised iron pier, quietly waiting for Hulda's boss 's arrival

A moment later, a group of gangsters covered in patchwork armor, armed with various weapons, and with different haircuts, surrounded by a black-armored warrior, appeared outside the passage above Fu Qinghai.

Fu Qinghai stared at the leading black-armored soldier, and narrowed his eyes in an instant.

The exoskeleton armor has sharp edges and corners but fits the human body. The armor is separated into pieces and has a full sense of muscle lines. Compared with Fu Qinghai's Blue Shell power armor, it is lighter and thinner. It is fully enclosed but cannot be called heavy power armor. , its overall style of hard sci-fi is out of place with the gothic punk gang members around.

The most striking thing is the golden yellow helmet visor.

Fu Qinghai thought about why Hulda's gang was called the "Spartan Gang". Maybe he got this ancient Greek term from a torn page of an ancient book on Terra. The popular culture of men has continued until the 30K era... But Fu Qinghai never thought that it would be this one in front of him.

The black-armored soldier raised his gun with one hand, looked down at Fu Qinghai who was sitting firmly on the iron pier below, and said loudly:
"The superhuman soldier of the human empire, the angel of death of the great emperor, and the legendary space warrior, has long known his name."

Fu Qinghai still sat firmly on the iron pier, looked up at the group of people diagonally above, and said:
"I've also admired your name for a long time...Spartan warrior."

The black-armored soldier was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously said in surprise:
"Fuck!?"
