Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 353 Reunion

Equatorial jungle, temporary base.

The flat land in this hilly basin was originally a temporary stronghold of the Red Sun Mechanic Cultivation Gang and the Burst Cracking Skull Tribe, but now Fu Qinghai has re-used it as a forward base and supply station.

"Kroot?"

Fu Qinghai turned his head and asked.

"That's right, the number is beyond our imagination."

Joe Star said in a low voice.

"A troop of such a large scale is hidden right under our noses, but we didn't realize it..."

Fu Qinghai frowned in thought.

Looking back, it’s not that Fu Qinghai has never fought opponents who are good at hiding: the wizard from JK Rowling’s universe, wearing the same invisibility cloak as Harry Potter; the super mutant from the radiation universe, wearing an invisibility cloak on his arm The boy; the black snake Naiden's invisibility cloak from the special forces universe; including the set of secondary power penetration armor that Koshwito once wore for his subordinates, that is, the SPI power armor...

These invisibility magics or invisibility technologies from different universes all have a unified characteristic: facing thermal imaging technology, they can be seen through at a glance.

So he never thought of reverse researching these stealth technologies. In this duel between stealth and anti-stealth, "spear" (anti-stealth) is greater than "shield" (stealth).

But the Kroot...

Fu Qinghai squatted down and looked at the corpse of a Kroot at his feet, which was just obtained by Satfaran.

Fu Qinghai picked up the grease coating on the corpse's skin and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, thoughtful and clear.

"This oily secretion can mask thermal imaging."

Fu Qinghai came to a conclusion.

The special war boy of the Bloodaxe clan, known as the "Viet Cong Orc" - I thought it would not be discovered.The Iron Buddha battle group had also fought against them before, and now it seems that the Kroot may be stronger in terms of hiding in the jungle.

"Then aren't we very passive?"

Joe Star asked.

"This discharge is fucking stinky."

Fu Qinghai stood up:
"The Kroot camouflage is not perfect, at least we can smell them, at a distance."

……

Three jet motorcycle companies rushed to support.

Fu Qinghai realized that he had made a mistake.

He underestimated the Kroot.

The racial talent of the Kroot is somewhat similar to a weakened version of the alien, and the "alien" here refers to the alien in the movie "Alien".By devouring a large amount of flesh and blood, the Kroot can gradually evolve the racial talents and characteristics of the devoured target—strength, flying, diving, environmental adaptation, and so on.

But unlike the alien, the first generation of infection receptors, the second generation can reflect the traits of the infected person, and the evolution rate is extremely fast.The Kroot often need to devour a large number of creatures with the same trait in order to gradually acquire this trait.

This kind of evolutionary way of openly accepting foreign genes is very easy to overturn. In the words of the original book, it is "walking into the dead end of evolution". ancestral" and "degenerate".

Therefore, "Kroot carnivores" need some rational people who can overcome the desire to devour physiologically, lead and plan their evolutionary direction. These Kroot leaders who can resist the desire to eat meat are called "Kroot Shapers" ".

According to Fu Qinghai's original idea, the Kroots have not yet joined the Tau Empire, and the weapons and equipment in their hands are very primitive and backward. Without the advanced weapons made for them by Tau Lord, they are not afraid of their bodies alone.Even if it has the potential to devour evolution, it is not an opponent of space warriors.

But he ignores one point:
All the Kroot are soldiers.

A war ball ship and a battle barge are both the size of a battleship on the [-]-kilometer level in terms of length. The former has a spherical shape and is significantly larger.Even assuming that the two warships require the same number of crew members, not all human crew members are soldiers and everyone can fight. As long as the Kroot grow up, all of them are soldiers with strong physical fitness.

"Not to be taken lightly."

Jet bikes roared across the sky.

Fu Qinghai said in the communication channel:
"They have at least tens of thousands of kroot meat eaters."

Saroyan Skarsen's judgment and decision-making were correct.

The Thunderwolf cavalry is of high quality, they can easily kill these aliens and break out of the encirclement. The Kroot may not be able to do anything to them, but what about the two imperial guards that work together—the Krieger Death Cavalry and the Attila Barbarian Cavalry? ?
Is it possible to give them up?

The Space Wolves would never make such a decision.

Barbaric is barbaric, bloodthirsty is bloodthirsty, the wolf regiment is definitely the most compassionate and righteous army among the interstellar warriors. In the future 41K era, because of similar incidents, the Space Wolves Chapter will have direct contact with the Gray Knights and Inquisitors. Turned over.

……

As soon as they arrived at the battlefield, they saw Thunderwolf cavalry and Kroot cavalry biting each other.

The space wolf tactical team fought and retreated, and the cavalry covering the two imperial guards evacuated as soon as possible.

"Shout Lock Dragoon, Kroot Ape Beast."

Fu Qinghai whispered the names of the two cavalrymen.

The existence of these two riding beasts is a typical case of Kroot people "walking into a dead end of evolution". It is said that they used to be Kroot people, but because they devoured too many gene fragments to enhance their muscles and enhance their physique , leading to the degeneration of brain function, and finally turned into a downright brutal beast.

It is similar to the wolf of Fenris.

"Gah-"

The roaring lock dragoons neighed sharply, manipulating the cannons and crossbows on the dragon's back, and kept firing towards the surroundings.

"Roar--"

Saroyan Skarsen bared his fangs, and roared back not to be outdone, with one hammer after another, he beheaded a powerful, rough-skinned and thick-skinned Kroot ape with two blows.

Motorcyclists quickly inserted themselves into the fray and took over the battlefield.

The forest is deep and the trees are dense, and it is difficult to aim. First, a round of heavy explosive bombs is used as cover. Regardless of whether it hits or not, he jumps off the jet motorcycle and picks up the weapon.

Unlike the Krieg death troopers and Attila savage cavalry, which require space, formation, and sprint distance, the space warriors are very suitable for this kind of chaotic battlefield where enemies come from all directions, and they quickly beat the Kroot to flee.

Fu Qinghai did not immediately join the battle.

He was cruising and overlooking in the sky.

The Kroot were weaker than Fu Qinghai imagined.

The Kroot and the Tau Empire complement each other. In the 31K era, without the technological bonus of the Tau Lord, these physically strong aliens rely on brute force and agility, and cannot fight the space fighters wearing power armor at all. Unless they hit vital parts such as eyepieces, necks, joint gaps, etc., they would just form a group to die against the space fighters.

As for the giant roaring lock dragon, in Fu Qinghai's impression, it is an existence that can compete with the giant Squiggle (video game and tabletop rules), but in actual battles, few giant roaring lock dragons , can't make waves at all.

Although Thunderwolves are not as big as the giant Roarlock Dragons, they have technological bonuses from the Mechanicus. The Tech Priest replaced Thunderwolves with prosthetic body modifications such as adamantine jaws and mechanical front claws, completely crushing Roarlock Dragoons. and Kroot ape beast.

There is no suspense, the alien is doomed.

Fu Qinghai looked up into the distance.

Suddenly, a red flash caught his attention.

Fu Qinghai confirmed that he was not dazzled. Just now, there was indeed a faint red reflection flashing away, and the direction of disappearing...

Fu Qinghai took out the data tablet and looked at it. It was marked with the words "Network Road Exit", and they were about to go to the area they were searching for.

Fu Qinghai pushed the handle to turn the direction, and the tail of the jet motorcycle burst into flames, and "swish" away, and ordered to the three subordinates by the way:
"Joshta, defeat them quickly, don't scatter the pursuit, and join me as soon as possible after you're done."

"Got it, Khan!"

In the communication channel, the voice of the first company commander was humming and panting, as if he was in a fierce battle.

……

"call out--"

The bow-style front of the steer-type jet motorcycle splits the air and goes straight forward. The golden eagle relief stands upright in the strong wind, and the black hole of the muzzle of the heavy bomber is underneath.

Fu Qinghai stepped on the accelerator and accelerated all the way, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and the "red flash" began to become clear.

It's an Eldar jet bike!
Fu Qinghai was very sure.

"Shining Spear?"

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

It is also a single-seater jet motorcycle. Compared with the violent aesthetics of the heavy locomotive of the Star Warrior, the smooth lines, light structure, and fin-like diversion canards are full of the structural characteristics and design aesthetics of the Aeldari. And who is the shining spear, the unique tribe warrior of the Ark Eldar?
It means that the Ark Spirit Race also came to intervene?
The solitary Shining Spear in the distance is obviously aware of the existence of the pursuers behind it. There is no obstacle in the sky, and the noise of the jet motorcycle is not small.

The opponent accelerated suddenly, and the jet motorcycle leaped forward lightly, trying to get rid of the pursuit.

Fu Qinghai stepped on the accelerator to the end, the jet motorcycle shook violently, the wake caused a heat wave, and it suddenly rushed forward.

The two start a chase.

The speed of the jet motorcycle of the Spirit Race is obviously faster than that of his own, and his accelerator pedal is almost in the engine, but the distance between the two still cannot be shortened, and it is even increasing.

This discovery made Fu Qinghai very uncomfortable.

The White Scars are the fastest in the Imperium of Man, but compared to the entire Warhammer 40K universe, the Necrons and Aeldari are faster than the White Scars.

Just like the Raven Guard is the most hidden in the human empire, but compared to the entire Warhammer 40K universe, the special units of many forces are more stealthy than the Raven Guard.

What an unacceptable fact.

At this moment, the opponent suddenly slowed down.

It seemed that he was waiting for Fu Qinghai to catch up.

Fu Qinghai turned his head and saw that the battlefield of the fierce battle and his troops had all disappeared beyond the horizon. It was very far away from here, and only the vast forest remained around.

"Humph."

Fu Qinghai snorted softly

Know what Shining Spear is up to.

Fu Qinghai didn't slow down and continued racing, and quickly closed the distance between the two until the red shrine flag fluttering behind Shining Spear came into view.

Fu Qinghai made up his mind to grab a job. He pressed the handle button with his fingers, and the heavy explosive bomb in front of the car sprayed out a long tongue of flame, aiming at the rear of the Spirit Tribe motorcycle.

As expected, the Shining Spear dodged the heavy bombs with an easy sideways roll. Every tribe warrior is a high-level soldier who pursues the path of the Spirit Race. He can be shot down with heavy bombs.

Fu Qinghai continued to chase and bite, he saw the rider on the back of the jet motorcycle, the skinny and thin spiritual bone armor, the red mane fluttering behind the mask is very conspicuous... huh?Looks like it's not the Shining Spear, but a Howling Banshee?
Just reacted.

The Howling Banshee turned her head to reveal her ferocious breathing valve.

"Roar--"

A sharp psionic scream swept over.

Fu Qinghai was suddenly shocked, and he froze instantly.

The Howling Banshee controls the jet motorcycle to turn around gracefully, the power scimitar in her hand has been raised high, the moment the two jet motorcycles are about to pass by...

"when!"

Fu Qinghai grabbed the power knife to block the fatal blow.He was beyond the Howling Banshee's expectations and quickly recovered from the trance caused by the psionic scream.

The quadruple enhanced physique is not covered.

Fu Qinghai sucked the blood coming out of his nose, his arm jerked and he blocked the power scimitar, slashing at the Howling Banshee with a slash. One accidentally dropped the motorcycle.

The two jet motorcycles were entangled like two swimming fish, circling and killing each other inextricably.

The space warrior controls the jet motorcycle with one hand and holds the power knife with the other, swinging one arm several times in a row, one inch long and one inch stronger, the power knife turns wide open and close.

"Crackling!", the cleavage force field repelled each other, sparking arc sparks exploded, and after several blows, the howling banshee's arms were numb and her bones trembled. He leaped forward lightly, trying to speed up to open the distance.

Fu Qinghai chased after him as soon as he stepped on the accelerator and raised his knife.

The fin-shaped structure on both sides of the Eldar jet motorcycle seems to endow it with extremely sensitive low-altitude maneuvering ability. The driving technique of the Howling Banshee is no less than that of the genuine Shining Spear. With a "Kulbitt" somersault to throw off the pursuers behind him, the dual star dart ejector mounted under the jet motorcycle pointed at Fu Qinghai and spit out a series of black single-molecule spears.

Several large star darts hit Fu Qinghai, and these almost thick black sheets were easily submerged into the triple-layer composite armor, but they stopped in front of the vibrating gold lining and were embedded on the power armor.

Fu Qinghai was not injured at all, and even showed off a "barrel roll" technique. The jet motorcycle rolled on a spiral axis, and the Howling Banshee who was chasing him could not predict his flight trajectory and aimed at him.

Immediately afterwards, the nose of Fu Qinghai's jet motorcycle suddenly turned up, reaching an overload stall state, and the Spirit Race jet motorcycle that had been closely trailing swished past him, and at this moment, the howling banshee raised her head. Looking at the Space Marine, he seemed to feel his contempt and disapproval through the helmet and eyepiece.

Playing motorcycles, you are still a little tender!
The nose of Fu Qinghai's jet motorcycle slammed down, leveled again and started to accelerate, completed a beautiful cobra-style maneuver, and then fired a series of heavy bombs.

At such a close distance, the Howling Banshee had no way to dodge. Several fragments exploded from the tail of the jet motorcycle, black smoke and flames came out together, and fell in a circle.

Fu Qinghai chased after him in a dozen directions, but the howling banshee stepped on the falling jet motorcycle and flipped, accompanied by a psychic scream, and came straight to Fu Qinghai.

"boom!"

The two collided hard.

The Howling Banshee knocked Fu Qinghai away from the motorcycle seat, and they fell together.In mid-air, the two had nowhere to draw their strength, and kept rolling and entangled in the fight: the howling banshee had just raised her star dart pistol when Fu Qinghai slapped her flying, and Fu Qinghai kicked the howling banshee in the stomach, Pulling away the distance and swiping the Guan knife, just before hitting the howling banshee, he twisted the handle of the knife, turning the swing into a slap, and slapped the spirit woman hard, causing her to roll and spin in mid-air... …

"Oh!"

The two hit a dense canopy of trees.

"Snapped!"

The two fell all the way, crushing the trunk and breaking the branches.

"boom!"

The Howling Banshee and the Space Marine smashed to the ground.

"Uh……"

The Howling Banshee fell on her back, twisted on the ground, and let out a painful moan.

Fu Qinghai shook his head and sat up, suddenly reacting, turned over and rushed towards the Howling Banshee.

Fu Qinghai didn't care about the weapons and equipment scattered all over the place around him. He put his whole body on the spirit woman's body. He pressed her arms with his hands and pressed her thighs with his knees, and firmly controlled her. Struggling violently, he said in a cold voice:
"Surrender, and keep you alive."

"Absolutely... absolutely impossible... Huh?"

The spirit woman struggled hard, trying to break free from Fu Qinghai's iron tongs. The banshee mask on her face was torn open and slipped to the side with twisting, revealing half of her face.

Hearing the familiar voice from the depths of memory seemed to evoke some past experiences, the two stopped their movements together and froze stiffly... Fu Qinghai slowly straightened up, and the spirit woman stopped struggling.

Fu Qinghai took off the helmet, exposed his face, looked at the howling banshee under him, frowned and asked:
"Sarah? Salamander Uslan?"

"Qingshan? Are you Qingshan?"

The Eldar girl lying on the ground stared blankly at the space warrior in front of her with her beautiful eyes open, and asked in a voice.

"Plop, huh, huh, huh..."

The sound of wings flapping through the air resounded densely above the head.

A large group of pterosaur cavalry surrounded the canopy of the forest. The wild spirit warriors rode on leather dragon saddles, holding laser spears in their hands, circling around the two of them. light.

A pterodactyl cavalry circled down, pointed at Fu Qinghai with the spear in his hand, and shouted sharply in half-baked Gothic:
"I order you, let her go, human!"

"Rumble..."

The low and roaring sound of the engine running came from the distant skyline. Joestar, Satfaran, and Kalamanda were riding on jet motorcycles, followed by a dense group of motorcycle cavalry, flying towards this side.
