Chapter 950 An unexpected encounter

 For Duanmu Huai, this scene was too familiar.

With the impact of metal pipes and the sound of footsteps, monsters with alien-like heads and four arms jumped out from all directions. They opened their big mouths full of sharp teeth and let out blasphemous roars and curses - they were the gene stealers, one of the aliens that most deserved to be eliminated in the world.

Genestealers are one of the units of the notorious Tyranids, and they are also the most troublesome and annoying infiltration unit for players, because...this group of things is really pervasive.

Moreover, they are extremely good at camouflage and can even spend hundreds of years gradually dispersing into the crowd.

The existence of gene stealers is very strange. First of all, they appear in the form of bugs, which are also the first primitive racial form. Then these bugs will penetrate into human cities at night, capture human women, and give them the "kiss of death" - well, the reason is simple, because the gene stealer's tongue is the ovipositor.

  In other words, "kissing makes you pregnant" in a practical sense.

 The first generation of gene stealers given birth to by human women after pregnancy is the first generation of gene stealers. Although most of this generation of gene stealers are still in the form of bugs, they themselves have gradually taken on a human-like appearance.

Then let the first generation capture human women, perform the "kiss of death" again, and give birth to the second and third generations - after the fourth generation, the descendants of the gene stealers are almost indistinguishable from humans. Any difference, only the pale skin, bald head and occasionally exposed sharp teeth can barely show their true form.

 Then things get really scary.

 The fourth generation of gene stealers can easily blend into any sector of humanity and then completely break out into rebellion. In addition to a large number of gene stealers that mimic humans exactly, the gene stealers will also evolve a variety of lords and elite units. Even a well-trained Astartes team will inevitably be completely destroyed when they encounter it. end.

  After all, it is really difficult to tell whether the person asking for help is an alien or a human.

Of course, if there is one thing to say, gene stealers are the kind of mice that everyone shouts and beats when they cross the street. Even the evil sect will not let them go.

The reason is simple. The gene stealers are part of the Tyranid swarm. Perhaps after a long period of reproduction, they have forgotten their original origins, but the spiritual network of the swarm is still with them. This makes the first thing that all gene stealers do after awakening is to find a way to contact the swarm and summon the Tyranid swarm to their world. In the hearts of the gene stealers, this is their final destination.

hmm, and then he was eaten by the swarm of insects that came.

Because of this, the Genestealer cult believes in the Terran swarm, not the Chaos God. The Chaos God cannot obtain the power they want from the Genestealer—the purpose of the Tyranid swarm's existence is to eat them all. No matter what, don't let anything go. As for the Chaos Evil God, only if life exists can they obtain enough soul nutrients. If you have eaten them all, then we must not starve to death?

So the Tyranid swarm and the Chaos God are inherently difficult to deal with.

Of course, if it falls into the hands of a player, since it is uncertain whether there is one or a million Genestealers on the planet, the best way is to directly issue an extermination order.

 After all, you can’t be sure which refugee is a gene stealer? What if people move to another planet and start spreading the kiss of death everywhere again?

From Duanmu Huai's point of view, if there are gene stealers in the space hulk in front of him, then the reason for the destruction of this battleship will be very clear. It is obvious that the lower level of this battleship may have been infiltrated and replaced by gene stealers - the standard configuration of a Moon-class battleship is about 100,000 crew members, most of whom are lower level crew members. And ordinary captains and senior officers will not care about the slave workers below the battleship, so once the entire lower-level crew is replaced by gene stealers and rebels, the battleship will be turned upside down.

Looking at the unlucky appearance of this battleship, maybe the Genestealers rioted while traveling through the subspace, attacked the ship's commander and senior officers, and then - then they were blinded.

 The Tyranid swarm is still very powerful in the real world, but they don’t go into subspace.

So these gene stealers turned around after the fight and found that they could not contact their parents, and then they could only drift pitifully in the subspace with this useless ship.

 After all, even the evil gods don’t want gene stealers.

The reason why Duanmuhuai is sure is that these gene stealers have now developed atavistic characteristics, which means that this group of mixed-bloods have no place to find humans. They can only breed with mixed-bloods and mixed-bloods, and then create pure-blooded gene stealers. By……

 Forget it, no matter what, just kill it!

Duanmu Huai raised the war hammer, and the thunder circled and exploded on the war hammer, and then he smashed it down hard. The moment Duanmu Huai smashed the war hammer, the lightning scattered in all directions and turned into countless light snakes that almost illuminated the entire factory. And the streaks of thunder and lightning were like venomous snakes, biting at the gene stealers rushing from all directions. Anyone who is touched by the thunder and lightning will instantly turn into a pile of coke.

Ogis sat firmly on Duanmuhuai's shoulders as always and opened her hands. The invisible threads formed an indestructible protective barrier. Any gene stealer who dared to rush over would be cut into pieces like ham.

Mary and Medea on the other side are just playing tricks. After Duanmuhuai's roaring thunder bombardment, they have nothing to do. They can only fire one shot or send out a few beams to show their presence.

The Genestealer kept rushing forward, being crushed, rushing forward again, being crushed, and again...

 The entire battleship became silent again.

"What's wrong?"

Mary held the gun in her hand and looked around in confusion. Just now there was lightning and thunder, and there were constant monsters. Why did they disappear in the blink of an eye?

“When you see an idea that’s frustrating, you retreat and think of other solutions.”

Duanmuhuai sneered. Although the gene stealers were bugs, they were bugs that could think. Not only could they think, they could even set traps to lure the enemy in, and then use their superior strength to defeat them one by one.

Of course, all tricks are meaningless in the face of absolute power.

But since there are chicken thieves here...well...

Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and then contacted Aikote.

“Ecott, destroy the entire back half of the ship and keep the front half.”

 “Yes, uncle.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　————!

Soon, fierce gunfire sounded, and the entire space hulk began to tremble slightly. On the contrary, Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, there are no oil guys from the Mechanicus here, otherwise it would be really troublesome.”

 “Grease guy?”

“A group of garbage pickers who want to pick up everything they see.” In the game, the Inquisitor, represented by the player, often clashes with the oil man of the Mechanicum, many times because of similar things.

 As the Inquisitor, the player received a message stating that a desecrated space hulk appeared in the territory and asked how to solve it.

Then what? For players, it will definitely blow you up with one shot!

However, the oil man is unwilling. According to other people's opinions, there may be some sacred Omnissiah relics on these space hulks, and they must go on board to investigate. If you don’t let me go, we won’t play with you anymore!

This makes the players very unhappy. The result is that both parties have to enter the space hulk together, and then encounter a bunch of strange things, and then - if you are lucky, you can come back, but if you are not lucky, the group will be destroyed.

 That’s why players are most annoyed by the oil man. Originally, I could solve a thousand problems with one shot, but you insist on making it more difficult for me!

After all, no one knows what is in the space hulk, gene stealers, mutants who believe in evil gods, unknown subspace creatures, and maybe chaos demons...

  If there was an oil guy here, he would definitely stop Duanmu Huai from this sacrilegious act of destroying the precious treasures of the space hulk, but unfortunately Duanmu Huai has no oil guy under his command, so no one can make irresponsible remarks to him. Besides, for Duanmu Huai, a real treasure cannot be destroyed even by a macro cannon. If it can be blown to pieces casually, what kind of treasure is it?

He said that this is how you should deal with space hulks, blow them to pieces, and then look for anything floating in the starry sky. If it can survive, it must be a good thing.

 “Okay, let’s move on.”

As most of the space hulk was blown up, the original microgravity gradually disappeared. I don’t know if it was because Ecote’s bombardment destroyed the reactor or hit the gravity generator. At this time, the gravity in the battleship is gradually disappearing. decline. Duanmu Huai turned on the magnetic device and walked in the passage step by step.

 Then he saw a faint light in the passage next to him.

 Perhaps they are hiding here?

Just when Duanmuhuai was about to turn around, Mary suddenly spoke.

 “Mr. Duanmu? What are you going to do?”

 “I’m going to take a look at the fork in the road here.”

 “Fork in the road?”

Mary stretched out her head and looked carefully in front of her.

“There is no fork in the road here, Mr. Duanmu, there is only one road ahead.”

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai was stunned for a moment, and then he looked again - as expected, there was only a cold steel wall over there just now, with no intersection at all.

“…Well, it seems I still have to rely on you to guide me.”

In the space hulk, illusions are everywhere. Every steel plate and every space here is soaked with the evil and curse of subspace. To use an analogy, it is like this battleship has fallen into nuclear sewage, covered in There is no clean place up and down, and radiation is emitting everywhere.

 Fortunately, Mary is still here.

In the eyes of Duanmuhuai, Ojisi and others, the passage of the ship seemed to be changing all the time. One second it was stairs, and the next second it was a fork in the road. But under the gaze of Mary's golden eyes, these illusions seemed to have never existed. They moved forward, all the way, and then came to the end of the corridor.

There is only one open elevator door, and of course there is no elevator inside. But Duanmuhuai didn't care about this. He stepped into it, walked on the wall, and then continued upward - then, Duanmuhuai suddenly stopped.

He looked at the oriole, then gestured to Mary and Ogis, and nodded to Medea, then silently changed direction and aimed at a nearby wall. The auspicious auspicious signs indicate that there are life signals reacting behind this wall, and there are more than one.

Duanmu Huai clenched his fist, faced the wall, and waved it hard!

 “Boom!”

The iron wall exploded in response, and Duanmu Huai strode in. Then he heard only a few gunshots, and then the bullet hit Duanmu Huai's armor and bounced off. Then, a familiar voice sounded.

 “Hey, stop it, stop it! It’s one of our own!”

Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and fanned the dust in front of his eyes. He saw Brother Shepard holding a sniper rifle and standing behind several boxes. This seemed to be a warehouse, and behind several other boxes, there were several hidden objects. A Starfleet soldier. It seems that they have regarded this as their temporary base.

“Your Excellency, Judge, I really didn’t expect to see you here.”

"Your sister called me here. It seems that your caution saved you."

“It’s not just about being cautious, we actually have a helper.”

 “Helper?”

Duanmuhuai frowned, while Brother Shepard nodded, and then waved to the side. Then, Duanmuhuai saw a woman with pointed ears wearing black armor, with a slender body, slender arms and legs, and a face as long as a shoehorn, walking out from the side.

The moment he saw it, Duanmuhuai clenched the war hammer in his hand. At the same time, after seeing the eagle and skull symbols on Duanmu Huai's chest, the woman was also stunned for a moment.

 “Vulgar heretic bastard!”

Duanmuhuai roared angrily, raised his war hammer, and threw it at the woman. The latter was faster. It almost dodged and hid behind Brother Shepard. At the same time, it took out a dagger and pointed it at Brother Shepard. of the throat.

 For a moment, both sides stopped.
