Start a Core Pod

After giving the order, Duanmu Huai led the three people to the fire deck and opened a door.

“Okay, ladies first, you go in first.”

“Mr. Duanmu, what are we sitting on?”

 Looking at the submarine-like thing in front of her, Mary asked doubtfully. She and Duanmu Huai had left the battleship together before, and most of them were fighter planes or transport planes. This was the first time she had seen this strange thing.

 “Good stuff, very exciting.”

Duanmuhuai chuckled and spoke, while Mary tilted her head in confusion, and then walked into the huge cylinder with Ogis and Medea.

The entire cylinder was empty, except for a few chairs next to it. Duanmu Huai instructed them to sit on them, and then heard a "click", and the safety lock at the back suddenly slipped, locking Mary and Medea. As for Ogis, Naturally, he climbed onto Duanmuhuai's body with familiarity, and then saw a huge steel reinforcement falling from above, tightly blocking Duanmuhuai's shoulder armor.

 “Duan, Mr. Duanmu? What on earth is this?!”

Mary was already a little panicked at this moment. This thing doesn't look like an ordinary vehicle.

 “Hahaha, this is called jumping torpedoes!”

 “Jumping torpedoes?!”

 Hearing the word torpedo, Mary almost jumped up - but unfortunately there was a safety lock and she couldn't jump up.

"That's right, in space, if we want to infiltrate an enemy ship, the best way is to take a jump torpedo, aim it at the enemy ship, and then launch it! Then rush over and chop it! Then it's over! Jump to the gang This is the romance of men!”

 “I, I am not a man, let me down!”

At this moment, Mary was almost crying, but Duanmuhuai ignored it and directly gave the order to Aikote.

“Aikot, scan the entire battleship, locate a place with the highest life response for me, and launch it directly! For the sake of the Empire, for the Inquisition!”

 “I understand, uncle!”

 “Don’t ahhhhhhh——!”

At Mary's screams, the torpedoes detonated instantly and roared towards the space hulk in front of them. It was seen that it broke through the scattered area surrounding the space hulk and plunged into the belly of the space hulk. Then the rotating and roaring drill ripped open the hard outer armor, and plunged in like a woman unconscious outside the bar!

　It doesn’t matter anything, it’s just fun!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　————!

A violent vibration came, and Mary felt that it was more exciting than the pirate ship in the amusement park. One moment she was still feeling the huge force that almost pushed her down on the back of the chair, and the next moment she suddenly jumped forward - okay The safety lock firmly fixed Mary's body, otherwise the poor girl would have hit the wall directly in front of her.

The surroundings suddenly became dark, and then the door on the torpedo head in front exploded directly. The explosive turrets on both sides in front of the torpedo roared and began to pour in merciless artillery fire, directly tearing all obstacles in front of them into pieces.

 “Hey, Surprise! MotherFxck!”

Under the volley of explosive bombs, the figures that rushed forward were beaten into pieces. Duanmu Huai didn't care what they were, anyway, the people here are not good things. Basically, the first element of exploring the space hulk is to lift your weapons, and then kill everything that moves in sight, and that's the end of it.

The stabilizer on Duanmu Huai's shoulder was released, and the next moment he rushed out with the warhammer in hand. Several figures in robes shouted and screamed and rushed over, raising the tattered weapons in their hands, and then they were hammered by Duanmu Huai. It was smashed directly into meat paste.

"Mutant."

Looking at the twisted corpses under the robe, Duanmu Huai spat. Mutants are the ones most easily affected by Chaos, so there are always mutants in the space hulk. They succumbed to Chaos, abandoned humans, and became the lackeys of the evil god—of course, to Duanmu Huai, they were just slime-level soldiers.

This seemed to be a lair of mutants. They gathered here, offered sacrifices, and then offered sacrifices to the evil gods of the subspace. Duanmu Huai glanced at the dilapidated and abstract shrine in front of him and smashed it to pieces with a hammer.

 It was only then that Mary and Medea came out.

 “Are you okay, Miss Mary?”

 “Oh…I’m okay, thank you…Miss Medea.”

Mary clutched her chest and took a breath. The blow just now almost broke her ribs. Fortunately, the armor she was wearing saved her life - one can imagine what was in this torpedo. It is not prepared for such a delicate and frail young lady at all.

　　The bomb turret has stopped firing at this moment, and the huge space is completely silent. There are corpses everywhere, including the corpses of mutants. But for Duanmu Huai, this is no big deal. After all, this is standard equipment in any space hulk.

It's like when you go to a dragon's lair, what you encounter outside are either goblins or kobolds. If you want to find some weird races, such as dark elves or gray dwarves or even monsters like illithids, you must Like going deep into the depths of the lair. The appearance of these mutants cannot change anything here. After all, whether in the Empire or Chaos, mutants will always be at the bottom of the pyramid.

The threat sleeping deep within the space hulk is what needs the most attention.

　　"Ogis and I, Mary went in front, and Medea followed behind us."

Duanmuhuai glanced around to make sure there were no enemies before he issued the order. Then he looked at Mary.

“Mary, if you see anything unusual, please alert me immediately.”

"Okay...Mr. Duanmu, but I think everything here looks a bit abnormal."

Mary opened her right eye, her sparkling golden pupils still shining brightly in this dim environment.

 “Let me see if I can find any trace of those fools on the auspicious auspicious sign.”

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he turned on the auspicious device, scanned the surrounding area, and then locked on a direction.

"Looking around here, we don't know their situation, but generally speaking, if they want to investigate something, they should go to the bridge - well, this cruiser Shepard should be familiar with, I think he You won’t get lost, in short, come with me.”

 For a hulk, this battleship is very complete, at least from the outside it does not appear to have been defeated. But in fact, this is a worse signal - if there are cracks in the appearance of this battleship, then at least it means that it is likely to be destroyed in a war. However, the outer appearance of this space hulk is almost intact, which means that its problem lies internally.    And this is generally not a good thing.

It may be that the whispers of the Chaos Demon penetrated Geller's position, turning tens of thousands of people on the entire ship into mentally broken lunatics or mutants, or it may be that there are believers of the Demon among them, and they traveled through the subspace. Calling his master, and possibly a psyker's rebellion - for example, a psyker sneezed and summoned a Chaos Demon... Well, this kind of thing is not unusual at all.

 It could also be worse.

Of course, every situation is actually pretty bad.

Duanmuhuai held the war hammer in his hand and moved forward step by step. Ogis and Mary sat on Duanmuhuai's shoulders on the left and right, while Medea sat on the jetpack behind him. Ogis was obviously used to it, but Mary was a little nervous. She was holding the gun in one hand and clutching the protrusions on Duanmuhuai's shoulder armor with the other hand. Fortunately, the ship was currently in a low-gravity state, so Mary couldn't I was worried that I would be knocked away by Duanmuhuai.

Through the warehouse, the group came to a huge engineering room. Duanmuhuai stopped when he saw the body on the ground in front of him. Then he reached out and grabbed one of the relatively well-preserved corpses and lifted it up. Under the illumination of the searchlight, the rotten and changed skin of the corpse could be clearly seen, as well as the bullet holes in the body.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　]

Seeing this, Mary immediately turned her head. Although she had seen too many disgusting things with Duanmuhuai,... she just wasn't used to it.

Duanmu Huai stretched out a finger, inserted it into a bullet mark on the corpse's chest, scratched inside, and then pulled it out.

“It seems that the Star Alliance has indeed been here, and they were attacked here.”

“Hey? Can you tell from this? Mr. Duanmu?”

Mary was surprised when she heard Duanmuhuai's words.

"Of course, you can tell just by looking at the bullet holes. The bullet holes on the guy who died here were neither burn marks from the energy gun nor from the explosion of the bolt gun, so the only possibility left is the Star Alliance. "

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and said. Because the Human Empire has to deal with all kinds of weird things, ordinary firearms are basically useless. Big soldiers use flashlights and laser guns, and more advanced ones use bolt guns.

But the weapons of the Star Alliance are completely different. The weapons of the Star Alliance mainly produce damage through mass effect field acceleration. In other words, the weapons of the Star Alliance focus more on penetration in nature, while the weapons of the Empire focus on power.

Of course, it cannot be said that Star Alliance is wrong to do this. After all, the technology on the Citadel is a shield on the outside with armor inside. If you want to effectively kill people, you must penetrate the shield. But unfortunately, this thing has no effect against aliens. Just look at the dozens of bullet holes on this mutant's body. It is completely ineffective.

Facing this kind of monster that is not afraid of pain, the power of Star Alliance's accelerated penetration weapons is greatly reduced.

“If it were my sister, maybe it wouldn’t be so difficult.”

Duanmuhuai looked back and threw away the mutant corpse in his hand. He has cooperated with the Shepard siblings. The elder sister has a more violent fighting style and likes to use shotguns and hand cannons, weapons that can kill by just grazing. The younger brother prefers to use relatively sophisticated weapons such as pistols and sniper rifles.

　To put it bluntly, one likes to leave corpses everywhere, while the other likes to make the opponent lose their combat effectiveness first, and then think about how to deal with it.

 When faced with aliens and heretics, the former is more intimidating.

 Especially in a place like this, well... Duanmuhuai felt that unless his brother had the aura of a protagonist, his chance of survival would be slim.

With the corpse as a road sign, Duanmuhuai moved much faster, and soon they passed through the passage and came to another engineering room. This is the place where Shepard's brother and others were attacked by aliens and escaped. But this time, it seems that there is still deathly silence here, except for the corpses on the ground...

　　　…………”

Duanmu Huai looked at these strange corpses in front of him with an uncertain expression. Under the searchlight, you can see the slightly oval heads and four arms of these mutants, as well as the weapons they hold in their hands...

"Okay, now it seems we have almost guessed what happened in this battleship, **** aliens, lowly genestealers."

Duanmuhuai crushed the heretical and blasphemous head with his foot and whispered.

 “The passage on the other side is blocked, MASTER.”

Medea raised her staff and pointed at the exit on the opposite side - it was already buried tightly by the elevators and steel pipes that had fallen from above.

 “This is nothing, leave it to me.”

Duanmuhuai clenched the war hammer with his right hand, then raised his left hand, aimed at the ruins, and shook it hard!

 “Boom————!”

In an instant, the ruins exploded, revealing the passage inside. The huge sound caused by the explosion echoed in the space hulk - in this silent place, even the drop of a bullet would make a harsh sound, not to mention the sound that sounded like an explosion.

 As expected, this magic is powerful.

Duanmu Huai put down his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

  Looking back, we may have to go to that planet again and find Fulilian or other magicians to study the human magic system.

“Okay, let’s continue... huh?”

However, before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, which was like the sound of something crawling in a fast steel pipe and jumping on the barbed wire floor.

 “What is this sound? Mr. Duanmu?”

Mary clenched her weapon and listened uneasily to the sounds coming from all directions - it was like the echo of what Duanmu Huai had just done, but it echoed back in a completely different form.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that the show has finally begun.”

Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer and stared around.

 “Everyone, prepare to fight!”
