Chapter 169 Strange Gang
Fu Qinghai followed Hulda through the maze-like complex three-dimensional honeycomb structure.
It's like playing real-life Monument Valley, Warhammer 40K Hive Special Edition.
Hulda slung his sword around his waist, held a gun in both hands, and walked quickly ahead.
Fu Qinghai followed her leisurely.
Fu Qinghai could easily keep up with this gang woman, but he maintained the necessary vigilance.
Going back on one's word and being cunning and cunning are the laws of survival in the hive city. An Astartes with the symbol of the Mechanicum of Mars on his shoulder armor and a body covered with weapons and equipment?
It will make most of the gangsters in the hive feel awe and fear, but it may also inspire the greedy desires of some daring people... Who knows, there is no shortage of life-threatening gamblers in the hive.
Fu Qinghai looked at Hulda's back with cold eyes, scanning the surrounding environment with the corner of his eye.
The two men moved through the gap between the huge drive shaft and the bent crankshaft, lifted the iron chain curtain hanging from the giant pulley block, and climbed over the broken steel wall.
Fu Qinghai looked at the still-running crushing gears in the distance, as well as the huge flywheel like a Ferris wheel. The bearings made a hard friction sound, and golden-red magma flowed and dripped 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. Maybe it is The geothermal energy 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 degree of control over the world of Schwerin Hive City is too low, and it may only stop at the level of collecting tithes and then not caring about anything else.
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 computer box, and had to avoid the danger of mousetraps from time to time.
Taking advantage of the moment when the lava waterfall was solidified and blocked, Hulda saw the right opportunity, and before the lava dripped in pieces, he quickly rolled through the gate in one lunge. The lava waterfall was like a golden-red luminous curtain, covering the entrance to the passage again.
The woman stood up, took a breath, and looked back to see that Fu Qinghai was still following her closely.
Hulda felt a chill in his heart and continued to lead Fu Qinghai forward without saying anything else.
"We seem to have come full circle?"
Fu Qinghai asked as he walked.
Hulda, who was walking in front of Fu Qinghai, nodded:
"Yes, this road is unmanned. There will only be dangers caused by these outdated machines. If we take another road, we will have to pass through the territory of the Longtooth Gang, which is a group of damn food. Human race.”
Fu Qinghai turned around and said calmly:
"You should have taken me another way."
The calmness and confidence revealed in his words made Hulda scratch his head in embarrassment.
The Space Marines were indeed not afraid of 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 but think. If he had known that he would be transported to a hive city by the Tombstone Gate, he should have made a handheld auspicious device in the Marvel Comics universe and brought it with him. Maybe he would have faced the hive city. Complex environments are no longer so passive.
The apocalypse is a highly integrated, multi-type data sensing information collection system widely used in the human empire. When space warriors face complex battlefield environments with limited vision, they are not helpless. There are two miniaturized auspicious devices, the scanning auspicious device and the siege auspicious device. The former focuses on energy detection, and the latter The latter has enhanced geological detection capabilities and is the favorite of the Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists, the civil dogs among Space Marines.
During the landing battle on Planet Roswell 7, the tactical tablet Gurt held was an auspicious device.
Unfortunately, Fu Qinghai wanted to save his assimilation points to assimilate more important weapons, so he never thought of making a fortune teller in advance.
"By the way, Hulda, what's the name of your gang?"
In order to kill the boredom of the long journey, Fu Qinghai asked casually.
There are lone rangers and bounty hunters in the hive, but there are not many of them. The only way to survive in the hive is to stay together for warmth. Fu Qinghai knew Hulda was a gang member by looking at the tattoos on her face and the decorations on her body.
Hearing this question, Hulda raised his head proudly and said:
"The Spartan Gang, we are called the Spartan Gang!"
The Spartan Gang, this name is a bit strange. Compared with the overall cultural level of the hive city is not high, it is slightly out of place.
Fu Qinghai asked with great interest:
"You seem very proud of your gang?"
Hulda nodded:
"Yes, sir, although we are a new gang that was established recently, we are not weak. Our boss is damn strong. He is different from others. He is not a lackey of those powerful families who have come to the nest. He will lead We are heading towards successive victories!”
Oh, are you so confident?
In Fu Qinghai's impression of Necromunda's hive, most of the powerful gangs in the lower nest are agents and black gloves of the big families in the tower. It is difficult for gangs without nobles to back them up. Be stronger.
If it is true as Hulda said, it is indeed interesting.
Just as he was talking, the gang woman saw the large spray painting on the metal wall in front of her, pointed at the wall and turned around and said excitedly:
"We're almost there."
After saying that, he was ready to move forward.
But Fu Qinghai held down his shoulder.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, a steel beam dozens of meters wide above the head came loose and suddenly crashed down. It smashed the suspended steel plate beam bridge in front of Hulda, and rolled and fell into the depths along with a lot of attached components. In the bottom of the abyss.
Hulda was shocked. If Fu Qinghai hadn't held her down just now, she would have been smashed into pieces by the falling steel beam.
Her chest was heaving, and she was a little frightened. She stared at the broken bridge in front of her with wide eyes. The gap was at least ten meters wide. She would definitely not be able to jump over it.
Before she could react, Fu Qinghai grabbed her by the neck, activated the flight pack behind him, and leapt into the sky with the roar of the turbofan, leaping over the break and reaching 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 quickly led the space warrior forward.
When crossing the metal wall, Fu Qinghai glanced at the spray painting on it.
A black eagle with wings raised high, a shield in front of it, and a ball under its talons.
…
Fu Qinghai and Hulda came out of a rumbling large helicopter freight elevator. Hulda turned to Fu Qinghai and said:
"Sir, this is already within the lower nest range of the main hive city of Schwerin Hive Capital."
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"Thank you, Hulda, for being an excellent guide."
Hulda stood there and hesitated for a while, then said to Fu Qinghai:
"Lord Astartes, if you want to find a way to the lair, 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 guessed that our boss might be interested in you. If you are willing to wait here for a while, I can notify him to come over."
Fu Qinghai thought for a while and nodded slowly:
"OK."
Hulda turned and left.
Fu Qinghai stared at her leaving back.
This may be a trap.
But just like in the Conjuring universe, Fu Qinghai, who has just arrived, needs some contradictions and conflicts to lure the snake out of the hole to obtain more information. Even if it is deliberately created contradictions and conflicts, that will do.
After Hulda left, Fu Qinghai carefully surveyed the surrounding environment, confirmed the location where the encirclement might be formed, and the best direction to break out of the encirclement. After that, he sat on a raised iron pillar and waited quietly for Hulda's boss. 's arrival
A moment later, a group of gang members wearing patchwork armor, holding various weapons, and having haircuts that were more aggressive than the others, surrounded by a black-armored warrior, appeared outside the passage diagonally above Fu Qinghai.
Fu Qinghai stared at the leading black-armored warrior and instantly narrowed his eyes.
The exoskeleton armor has sharp edges but fits the human body. The armor blocks are separated and the muscles are full of lines. Compared with Fu Qinghai's Blue Shell Power Armor, it is a little thinner and lighter. It is fully enclosed but cannot be called heavy power armor. , its overall style of cold science fiction seems incompatible with the surrounding gothic and punk gang members.
The most eye-catching thing is the golden helmet mask.
Fu Qinghai thought about why Hulda's gang was called the "Spartan Gang". Perhaps he got this ancient Greek term from the fragments of an ancient Terran book, or maybe a fanatic Zack Snyder movie fan named the red cloaked muscles Men's popular culture has continued into the 30K era...but Fu Qinghai never thought that it would be what he saw.
The black-armored warrior raised his gun with one hand, looked down at Fu Qinghai who was sitting firmly on the iron pillar below, and said loudly:
"The superhuman soldier of the Imperium of Man, the death angel of the great Emperor, the legendary Space Marine, whose name I have admired for a long time."
Fu Qinghai was still sitting firmly on the iron pillar, looking up at the group of people diagonally above him, and said:
"I have admired your name for a long time... Spartan warrior."
The black-armored warrior was stunned and subconsciously said in surprise:
"What the hell!?"
