Chapter 38 The Slaughtering Workshop
The transport ship was eerily silent.
Not only Fu Qihai, but also the leader Guert felt something was wrong.
He took the initiative to slow down.
Space warriors armed with various weapons searched carefully in the dark corridors.
At this moment, Fu Qihai couldn't help thinking: What kind of material did the Word Bearers use this transport ship to transport?
Guns and cannons? Ammunition supply? Or armor?
Combat information such as the internal structure diagram of the transport ship has been projected onto the goggles of the space fighters.
This is an imperial-style transport ship with a standard model, and its internal structure design is unified.
In theory, the Stinger team could find their target, the engine control room, just by following the arrows on the eyepiece.
Unlike the moon-class cruiser which has several power control halls, although the Abominable Worm is not much different from the moon-class cruiser in size, it only has three engine control rooms in total. As long as two of them are destroyed, this transport ship will no longer be able to Fly into space.
However, things don't always go according to plan.
The Stinger team was held back by a wall.
Not only did the Word Bearers messily decorate the outer shell of the transport ship, but they also magically altered the internal structure.
According to the combat information instructions, there should be a passage here, and after turning three corners, you can reach the engine control room.
"Explode." Gourt made a decision.
The temporarily refitted bulkhead would certainly not be as thick as the hull of the spaceship, and Gurt did not choose to detour.
Several Ultramarines were securing high-explosive bombs to the steel bulkhead, which was covered in profane paintings.
This kind of small work was done without labor by technical sergeant Fu Qihai. He raised his head to see what the traitors had painted on the bulkhead.
The top one is a "Ⅷ" symbol.
The wall was engraved with dense incantations below, Fu Qihai looked along, most of them could not understand, only a few of the words seemed to be written in High Gothic.
When entering the Warhammer 40K universe, Fu Qihai, like other reincarnations, had been endowed with high Gothic skills.
Fu Qihai looked at those few words and said silently in his heart:
Praise of... the great... Brass... Lord of Brass?
Fu Qihai was startled and reacted immediately.
"Ⅷ" is the Roman numeral 8.
Called the Lord of Brass, whose Holy Number is 8...Khorne!
This bulkhead is engraved with prayers to Khorne, one of the four evil gods of chaos!
Fu Qihai didn't want to count whether the number of words in the prayer just happened to be a multiple of 8, and he had some very bad premonition in his heart at this time——
What's behind this bulkhead?
"Stand back and prepare to detonate." Gurt said loudly.
Fu Qihai didn't know whether he should stop Guert at this time. This is in the transport ship of the Chaos Space Marine. It is normal for words worshiping Khorne to appear, and it is normal for words worshiping any Chaos evil god.
You can't say that you are frightened by a wall.
Fu Qihai followed the Ultramarines back to a safe distance.
"boom--"
The explosives detonated.
Before the flames and smoke from the explosion dissipated, members of the Stinger team quickly rushed into the flames following Gurt.
Guert, who rushed to the front with a chainsaw sword in his hand, almost stepped into the air after smashing through the smoke, but fortunately, Fu Qinghai behind him grabbed his shoulder.
But Guert didn't have time to turn his head to thank him, he looked at the scene in front of him with a look of horror, stunned.
Fu Qihai jumped over a soldier and came to the front, also stunned by the situation in front of him.
What a hellish picture this is!
Behind the broken bulkhead, the Word Bearers converted it into a huge and complex slaughterhouse.
Numerous naked human beings were placed on a killing assembly line. They had long since died, but their corpses still had to pass through the rotating flying blades, be cut into pieces, and be thrown into the gears of the crusher that slowly turned inward. Grind into a meat paste.
The pattering blood flowed down the gaps of various equipment, overflowed from the crusher, and dripped down on the sharp blades.
The blood fell on the floor, and along the complex and mysterious grooves on the floor, gathered into streams of blood, gurgling and flowing.
"They are all psykers." Gurt said in a deep voice.
Waking up from the scene by Guert's voice, Fu Qihai turned to look at him.
Gurt pointed to one of the corpses and said:
"Look, he has an eye on his forehead."
Fu Qihai followed the direction of Guert's finger and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was a member of the Navigator family.
There are more or less physical mutations in these corpses.
It turned out that the so-called "materials" transported by the Word Bearers... were living people.
Fu Qihai understood.
During the Horus Heresy, in addition to using warp storms to interfere with the transportation and communications of the empire, the traitors gradually began to try to directly let the power of the warp come to reality to help themselves.
Through the massacre of civilians on a large scale, supplemented by dark spells left over from the age of ancient savage technology, and through a series of complicated sacrificial ceremonies, the Word Bearers achieved their goals. The legion that first summoned the warp demons to reality.
Compared with ordinary humans, psykers who are born to communicate with the warp are better sacrifices, and can be sacrificed in smaller quantities.
Otherwise, the traitors might have to massacre the city if they wanted to summon an ordinary Khorne demon vampire.
These grooves form a complex pattern on the floor, eventually converging in one direction.
This is a precision-operated blood altar composed of gears, drive shafts, charms and evil rituals.
Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked past the overlapping slaughtering equipment to the direction where the blood was gathering.
The goggles automatically zoom in and focus.
At the end of the blood pool, Fu Qinghai saw a Word Bearer Space Marine bound by iron chains and fixed to a human-shaped groove on the wall.
Around the groove of the wall, there are all kinds of distorted and evil reliefs and totems, fangs, spikes and skulls. Outside the head of the humanoid groove are two "U" shaped demon horns.
The two human-shaped grooves next to it are already empty.
Fu Qinghai watched this scene intently and said loudly:
"This is an altar! They are making sacrifices, and they are going to summon... enchanted warriors!"
"No Our name is... Blessed Son!"
A gloomy voice sounded next to him.
Fu Qihai quickly retracted his gaze, drew his saber and slashed in the direction of the voice.
"Ding!"
There was a crisp explosion accompanied by sparks flying everywhere.
Fu Qihai's powered long knife was clamped by a large crab-like pincer.
Fu Qinghai drew his knife and retreated.
"Stay in formation and fire!" Gurt shouted from the side.
The monster that appeared on the side of the passage lifted its big crab claws to block the incoming explosive bombs, and quickly rushed towards the Stinger team.
This is a Chaos Space Marine with a terrifying appearance. Two curved horns pierced the helmet and grew from both sides of the top of the head. The entire power armor has been distorted by the hyperreal power of the subspace, sticking to the swelled and proliferated blood-red flesh. together.
Numerous bone-white horny spikes grow from the armor and the air vents of the power pack. The wedge-shaped grille breathing valve on the visor has been distorted and alienated into a big mouth made of sharp teeth. It has a long purple-black forked tongue.
One hand became a huge, slender red claw, and the other a crab claw covered in jagged and spines.
This enchanted warrior was not afraid of one-to-many battles at all, and he rushed into the formation of the Stinger squad while waving his sharp claws.
The mass bomb hit him with only slight damage, and the long and sharp claws of the enchanted warrior had already penetrated deeply into the weak point of an Ultramarine's neck armor.
Fu Qihai dodged the large pincers with a short body, and cut off the two red sharp claws of the enchanted warrior with a slash.
"Use melee weapons!" Fu Qinghai shouted.
The Ultramarines dropped their bolters and drew their chainswords and power swords.
"Buzzing", the sound of sawtooth rotating rapidly sounded, and the extreme fighters of the Stinger Squad formed a seamless melee combat formation, and surrounded the enchanted fighters.
"Uh... ugh... ho ho"
Accompanied by an indescribable low growl from deep in the throat.
A twitching, shambling enchanted warrior reappeared at the entrance to the passage.
Here comes another one! ?
Fu Qihai cursed inwardly, turned away from the battle with the first enchanted warrior, and went towards the second enchanted warrior.
"I'll take care of that!" Fu Qinghai shouted.
He knew that the Ultramarines who were good at tactical coordination must have their own melee combat formation, and he insisted on joining it, but it destroyed the close cooperation of the Stinger squad fighters, so it was better to delay one by himself.
Don't dare to kill him lightly, you can only try to delay him!
The second enchanted warrior who appeared at the entrance of the passage seemed to have not completely integrated with the demon in his body. His neck twisted exaggeratedly to the left and right, and he stood there trembling and twitching.
This is an opportunity!
Fu Qihai strode towards him with great strides. He didn't have the gentlemanly demeanor to wait for the enemy to transform completely before starting the battle.
Fu Qihai held the knife in both hands, and the tip of the knife went straight into the opponent's head.
Give me a thumbs up... "Ding!"
Two twisted and ugly knuckle claws blocked the blade in an "X" shape.
"Ho Blood God..." The enchanted warrior, who blocked Fu Qihai's fatal blow with crossed claws, raised his head, scarlet blood burst out from the protruding goggles, and a low growl came out of his fangs and sharp teeth.
Fu Qinghai drew his sword and retreated, regaining his stance.
The enchanted warrior in front of him didn't seem to have the ability to speak normally, he could only make a gasping sound of "hoho" and a few simple repeated words.
But the way he attacked was not sloppy at all.
He bent his knees, stomped with energy, and opened his two big paws to leap towards Fu Qihai.
It was the first time Fu Qihai had seen this open-door fighting method, and he was even stunned for a tenth of a second.
Fu Qihai hurriedly dodged sideways, and while avoiding the pounce of the enchanted warrior, he switched his long knife to his backhand to take advantage of the situation.
A line of blood spilled from the gap in the armor of the enchanted warrior's waist.
The enchanted warrior fell to the ground with a bang, turned around and charged towards Fu Qihai again.
Fu Qihai quickly parried and took a closer look at the wound on the opponent's waist. The reddish proliferative tissue was wriggling like a small granulation, and it was about to heal.
No wonder this thing is completely fighting with itself in a posture of ignoring and exchanging injuries for injuries.
This self-healing speed is faster than the blood plate of the space warrior, how can it be beaten?
Fu Qihai blocked the opponent's sharp claws with a single knife, and urgently recalled the information about the enchanted warrior in his mind.
There is a barrier between subspace and the real universe, which can also be called a curtain. It is difficult for subspace creatures to pass through this curtain to interfere with and affect the real universe. The Word Bearers have found a place for these demons to live. Vessel - A Space Marine willing to sacrifice himself to the evil god of Chaos.
In other words, at least when fighting, the person controlling this body is a subspace demon, not the Space Marine himself.
Fu Qinghai probably had a guess in his mind. He could not gradually weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness through the accumulation of damage. The reality-distorting energy of the subspace brought amazing repair capabilities. His attack must be aimed at the opponent's brain or heart, forming a chain. Kill with one hit and directly smash the container containing the devil's soul!
But it is so difficult for a person to withstand the attack of an enchanted warrior. In addition to the bug-like self-healing ability of minor injuries, the opponent is stronger and faster than himself, and he is not afraid of pain and fights for his life.
Fu Qinghai was forced to retreat step by step, his magnetic shoes making a heavy sound on the corridor floor, but he still couldn't find a chance to kill him with one blow.
A long knife against two claws, facing an possessed warrior alone, Fu Qinghai wielded the power knife so tightly that he could not be invulnerable or escape without any injuries.
He cut off the curved horn growing on the side of the possessed warrior's face with one stroke, just shy of cutting the opponent's head open.
The price was that the enchanted warrior dug his claws into his breastplate.
The large piece of ceramic steel guard plate was dug by the bone claws and fell off. The multi-layered composite power armor blocked the blow for Fu Qinghai.
The shell of the power armor is made of multi-layer composite armor made of ceramic steel and plastic steel. Like the saw teeth of a chain sword, it is a battlefield consumable. However, considering the swing frequency of the enchanted warrior's claws, no matter how strong and durable the consumable is, it cannot withstand such consumption. .
Fu Qinghai's armor would be scratched after two more heavy blows.
Fighting and retreating, Fu Qinghai gradually got further and further away from the Stinger Team, and after retreating around a corner, he was out of sight.
The possessed warrior jumped up again, his big claws pointing at Fu Qinghai's head.
Fu Qinghai raised his sword to parry.
The sharp claws of the bones pressed hard on the power long knife, and the blade covered with a faint blue cracking force field penetrated deeply into the palm of the bone claws.
The huge force passed down Fu Qinghai's arms from top to bottom to the soles of his feet.
At this moment, the rusty corridor floor cracked under the pressure.
Both Fu Qihai and the enchanted warrior lost weight instantly at the same time, and fell into the space below the floor.
It's now!
The momentary weightlessness did not disturb my mind.
Fu Qihai found the one-hit kill opportunity he had dreamed of!
