Chapter 353 Reunion

Chapter 353 Reunion

Equatorial jungle, temporary base.

This flat land in the hilly basin was originally the temporary stronghold of the Red Sun Mechanical Repair Gang and the Exploding Skull Tribe, but it was now used by Fu Qinghai as an advance base and supply station.

"Kroot?"

Fu Qinghai turned around and asked.

"Yes, the number is beyond our imagination."

Qiao Shida said in a deep voice.

"Such a large force is hiding under our noses, but we are not aware of it..."

Fu Qinghai frowned and thought.

Looking back on the past, Fu Qinghai has fought against opponents who are good at hiding: the wizard from J.K. 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 Boy; Black Snake Naiden's invisibility cloak from the Special Forces universe; including the set of secondary powered penetrating armor that Koshvito once wore for his subordinates, that is, SPI powered armor...

These invisible magic or invisible technologies from different universes all have a unified characteristic: when faced with thermal imaging technology, they can be seen through at a glance.

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

But the Kroot...

Fu Qinghai squatted down and looked at the corpse of a Kroot man at his feet, which Satfalan had just gotten.

Fu Qinghai picked up the grease coating on the body's skin and rubbed it in his hands, thoughtfully and understandingly.

"This oily secretion can shield thermal imaging."

Fu Qinghai came to a conclusion.

The special operations boy of the Blood Ax clan, known as the "Vietcong Orc" - I thought he would not be discovered this way. The Iron Buddha Chapter has also fought against them before. Now it seems that the Kroot people may be stronger in the hidden jungle.

"Then aren't we very passive?"

Qiao Shida asked.

"This discharge stinks so fucking bad."

Fu Qinghai stood up:

"The Kroot's disguise isn't flawless. At least we can smell them, at a distance."

…

Three jetbike companies rushed to support.

Fu Qinghai realized that he had made a mistake.

He underestimated the Kroot.

The racial talents of the Kroot are somewhat similar to a weakened version of an alien. The "alien" here refers to the alien in the movie "Alien". By devouring large amounts of flesh and blood, the Kroot can gradually evolve the racial talents and characteristics of their devoured objects - strength, flying, diving, environmental adaptation, etc.

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

This kind of evolutionary method that is open to accepting foreign genes is very easy to overturn. In the words of the original book, it "enters an evolutionary dead end." Many Kroot people become more stupid and stupid as they eat, and "evolution" becomes "regression". Ancestor" and "degeneration".

Therefore, the "Kroot Carnivores" need some rational people who can overcome the physiological desire to devour, to 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 initial thoughts, the Kroot people have not yet surrendered to the Tau Empire, and the weapons and equipment in their hands are very primitive and backward. Without the advanced weapons built for them by the Tau Empire, their physical bodies alone are not enough to fear. Even if it has the potential to swallow evolution, it is no match for the Space Marines.

But he ignored one thing:

The Kroot people are all soldiers.

A war ball ship and a battle barge are both the size of a twelve-kilometer-level battleship in terms of length. The former has a spherical shape and is significantly larger in volume. Even assuming that the number of crew members required by both warships is similar, not all human crew members are soldiers and everyone can fight. As long as the Kroot people reach adulthood, all of them are soldiers with extremely strong physical fitness.

"This cannot be taken lightly."

Jetbikes roared across the sky.

Fu Qinghai said on the communication channel:

"They have at least tens of thousands of Kroot Meat Eaters."

Saroyan Skasson’s judgment and decision-making were correct.

The individual Thunder Wolf Cavalry soldiers are of extremely high quality, and 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 who work together - the Krieg Death Cavalry and the Attila Savage Cavalry? ?

Should we give them up?

The Space Wolves would never make this decision.

Barbarism is barbarism, and bloodthirst is bloodthirsty. The Wolves are definitely the most affectionate unit among the Space Marines. In the future 41K era, the Space Wolves Chapter will have direct conflicts with the Gray Knights and Inquisitors due to similar incidents. Falling out.

…

As soon as they arrived at the battlefield, they saw the Thunder Wolf cavalry and the Kroot cavalry fighting each other.

The Space Wolves tactical team fought and retreated, covering the two Imperial Guard cavalry to evacuate as quickly as possible.

"Howling Lock Dragoon, Kroot Ape Beast."

Fu Qinghai whispered the names of the two types of cavalry.

The existence of these two riding beasts is a typical case of the Kroot people "entering an evolutionary dead end". It is said that they were once Kroot people, but because they swallowed too many genetic fragments that enhance muscles and enhance their physique, , causing brain function to deteriorate, and eventually turning into a downright brutal beast.

Similar to Fenris Wolf.

"Gah——"

The roaring dragon cavalry screamed loudly, controlled the artillery and crossbows on the dragon's back, and kept firing at the surroundings.

"Roar--"

Saroyan Skarson bared his fangs and roared in unwillingness to be outdone. He hammered and then axed, killing a powerful, rough-skinned and fleshy Kroot ape in two blows.

The motorcycle cavalry quickly intervened and took over the battlefield.

The forest was deep and dense, making it difficult to aim. First, a round of heavy explosive bombs was fired to cover it. Regardless of whether it hit or not, he jumped off the jet motorcycle, picked up the weapon, and fought with the Kroot.

Unlike the Krieg Death Troopers and Attila Barbarian Cavalry, which require space, formation, and sprinting distance, the Space Marines are very adaptable to this chaotic battlefield where enemies come from all directions, and they quickly make the Kroot scurry away.

Fu Qinghai did not join the battle immediately.

He was cruising high in the sky and looking down.

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 Empire, these physically powerful aliens relied solely on brute strength and agility. They could not fight against Space Marines wearing power armor. Unless they hit key parts such as eyepieces, necks, joint gaps, etc., they will just form a group to die against the Space Marines.

As for the giant Roaring Dragon, in Fu Qinghai’s impression, it was an existence that could compete with the Scrooge beast (video games and tabletop rules). However, in actual battles, there were only a few giant Roaring Dragons. , can’t make waves at all.

Although the Thunder Wolves are not as big as the giant Roar Lock Dragons, they have technological bonuses from the Mechanicus. The Techpriests replaced the Thunder Wolves with prosthetic modifications such as adamantine mandibles and mechanical front claws, completely crushing the Roar Lock Dragoons. and Kroot.

Without suspense, the alien is doomed.

Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, a red flash caught his attention.

Fu Qinghai confirmed that he was not dazzled. There was indeed a subtle red reflection that flashed away just now, and the direction of disappearance...

Fu Qinghai took out the data tablet and saw that it was marked with the words "Network Exit". They were about to head to the area to search.

Fu Qinghai pushed the handle to change the direction, and the tail of the jet motorcycle blasted out blazing flames, and flew away with a "swish". He also gave instructions to his three subordinates:

"Qiao Shida, defeat them quickly, don't scatter in pursuit, and join me as soon as possible after you're done."

"Roger that, Khan!"

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

…

"call out--"

The bow-shaped front of the Bullock jet motorcycle splits the air and goes straight forward. The relief of the golden Sky Eagle stands upright in the strong wind, and below it is the black hole of the heavy blaster muzzle.

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 jetbike!

Fu Qinghai is very sure.

"Shining Spear?"

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

It is also a single-seat jet motorcycle. Compared with the violent aesthetics of the Space Marine heavy motorcycle, the smooth lines, light structure, and fin-shaped canards are full of the structural characteristics and design aesthetics of the Eldar. Who is the shining spear, the unique branch warrior of the Ark Eldar Tribe?

Does this mean that the Ark Spirit Tribe has also stepped in?

The lone Shining Spear in the distance was obviously aware of the presence of the pursuers behind it. There was no obstruction in the sky, and the noise of the jet motorcycle was not small.

The opponent suddenly accelerated, and the jet motorcycle sped forward lightly, trying to escape pursuit.

Fu Qinghai stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the jet motorcycle shook violently. The wake set off a heat wave and suddenly surged forward.

The two began to chase.

The Eldar's jet motorcycle was obviously faster than his own jet motorcycle. He almost stepped on the accelerator into the engine, but he still couldn't shorten the distance between them, and it was even widening.

This discovery made Fu Qinghai very uncomfortable.

The White Scars are the fastest in the Human Empire, but compared to the entire Warhammer 40K universe, the Necron and Aeldari are both faster than the White Scars.

Just like the Raven Guard is the most stealthy in the human empire, but compared to the entire Warhammer 40K universe, many special units of the 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 looked back and saw that the fierce battlefield and his troops had all disappeared beyond the horizon. They were very far away from here, and only the vast forest was left around them.

"snort."

Fu Qinghai snorted softly

I know what Shining Spear is up to.

Fu Qinghai continued to race without slowing down, quickly closing the distance between the two until the fluttering red shrine flag behind the Shining Spear came into view.

Fu Qinghai made up his mind to catch someone alive. He pressed the handle button with his finger, and the heavy explosive bomb in front of the front of the car spurted out a long tongue of flame and aimed at the rear of the Eldar motorcycle.

As expected, the Shining Spear easily dodged the heavy explosive bombs with a sideways roll. Each warrior of the tribe is a high-level soldier pursuing the path of the Eldar. They are not minions. Fu Qinghai does not expect to be alone. He can be shot down with heavy bolters.

Fu Qinghai continued to chase and bite, and he saw the rider on the back of the jet motorcycle, the thin and thin spiritual bone armor, and the red mane flying behind the mask was very conspicuous... huh? It seems 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 psychic scream swept through.

Fu Qinghai was suddenly hit, and his whole body was stunned for an instant.

The howling banshee controlled the jet motorcycle to turn around gracefully. The power scimitar in her hand was already raised high, and the moment the two jet motorcycles were about to pass by each other...

"Dang!"

Fu Qinghai grabbed the power sword and blocked the fatal blow. He exceeded the expectations of the howling banshee and quickly recovered from the trance caused by the psychic scream.

The quadruple physical enhancement is not a guarantee.

Fu Qinghai sniffed the blood flowing out of his nose, opened the power scimitar with a shake of his arm, and slashed at the howling banshee with a wave of his hand. The opponent quickly raised his sword to block it, but was bent down by the huge force coming from the blade, almost One accidentally dropped his 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 sword in the other. He swings it with one arm and slashes it several times. Each inch is longer and stronger, and the edge of the power sword opens and closes all the time.

"Crack, crackle", the cracking force fields repeled each other, bursting out shining arc sparks. After several exchanges, the howling banshee's arms were numb and her bones were shaking. She knew that she was not as powerful as her opponent, so she quickly controlled the jet motorcycle to move towards He scurried forward lightly, trying to speed up and distance himself.

Fu Qinghai stepped on the accelerator and picked up the knife before giving chase.

The fin-like structures on both sides of the Eldar jet motorcycle seem to give it extremely sensitive low-altitude maneuvering and turning capabilities. The Howling Banshee's driving skills are no less than the genuine Shining Spear. Pulling up the handle, it rolls upside down. A "Kulbit"-style somersault shook off the pursuers behind him. The twin star dart ejectors mounted on the underside of the jet motorcycle aimed at Fu Qinghai and spit out a series of black single-molecule spear darts.

Several large shurikens hit Fu Qinghai. These almost thicknessless black flakes easily penetrated into the three layers of composite armor, but stopped in front of the vibranium lining and were embedded in the power armor.

Fu Qinghai was not harmed at all, and even showed off a "barrel roll" technical move. The jet motorcycle completed the roll on a spiral axis. The howling banshee chasing after him found it difficult to predict his flight trajectory and aim to lock on.

Immediately afterwards, the nose of Fu Qinghai's jet motorcycle suddenly raised up, reaching an overload stall state. The Eldar jet motorcycle that was originally following him passed him by with a "whoosh". At this moment, the howling banshee raised its head. Looking at the Space Marine, he seemed to feel his contempt and disapproval through the helmet and goggles.

You are still a little green when it comes to playing motorcycles!

Fu Qinghai's jet motorcycle nose slammed down, leveled again and started accelerating, completing a beautiful cobra maneuver, and then fired a series of heavy explosive bombs.

At such a close distance, there was no way for the Howling Banshee to escape. Several fragments exploded from the tail of the jet motorcycle, and black smoke and fire came out, spinning in circles and falling.

Fu Qinghai chased after him. Unexpectedly, the howling banshee actually stepped on the fallen jet motorcycle and flipped, with a psychic scream, and rushed towards Fu Qinghai.

"boom!"

The two collided hard.

The howling banshee knocked Fu Qinghai away from the motorcycle seat and fell downwards together. In mid-air, the two of them had nowhere to draw on, and they kept rolling and fighting: Fu Qinghai slapped the Howling Banshee away just as she raised her shuriken pistol, and Fu Qinghai kicked the Howling Banshee in the stomach. He opened the distance and swung the Guan Dao, and before he was about to hit the howling banshee, he twisted the handle of the knife and changed the swing into a slap. He slapped the Eldest woman so hard that she rolled and spun in mid-air... …

"Bang!"

The two collided with a dense canopy of trees.

"Snapped!"

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

"boom!"

Howling Banshees and Space Marines hit the ground hard.

"Well……"

The howling banshee landed on her back, twisted as she lay on the ground, and let out a painful groan.

Fu Qinghai shook his head and sat up, suddenly reacted, turned over and rushed towards the howling banshee.

Fu Qinghai didn't pay attention to the weapons and equipment scattered around. He pressed his whole body on the Spirit Tribe woman, held down her arms with his hands, pressed his knees against her thighs, and controlled her firmly, regardless of her Struggling violently, he spoke in a cold voice:

"Surrender, I'll keep you alive."

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

The Spirit Tribe woman struggled hard, trying to break away from Fu Qinghai's iron pincers. The banshee mask on her face had a crack and slipped to the side as it twisted, revealing half of her face.

Hearing the familiar voice from the depths of memory seemed to evoke some past experiences. The two of them stopped moving together and froze... Fu Qinghai slowly straightened up, and the Spirit Tribe woman stopped struggling.

Fu Qinghai took off his helmet, exposed his face, looked at the howling banshee suppressed by him, frowned and asked:

"Sarah? Salamander Uslan?"

"Qingshan? Are you Qingshan?"

The Eldar girl lying on her back on the ground stared blankly at the Space Marine in front of her with her beautiful eyes open, and asked in silence.

"Plop, hula, lala..."

The sound of flapping wings piercing the air echoed intensively above the head.

A large group of pterodactyl cavalry surrounded the forest canopy. Savage Eldar warriors rode on leather dragon saddles, holding laser spears in their hands. They circled around the two people. The pterodactyl's constantly flapping wings covered the few people. light.

A winged dragon cavalry circled down, pointed the spear in his hand at Fu Qinghai, and shouted in a half-baked low Gothic language:

"I order you, let her go, human!"

"Rumble..."

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