Chapter 611 The long wait for an old friend
In Fu Qinghai's impression, although the Void Whale's moving speed in the real universe cannot be said to be very slow, it definitely has nothing to do with the word "swift". This behemoth "swims" in space by some unknown method, and any human empire ship can swim faster than it.
However, the Void Whale traveled unexpectedly fast in the subspace, faster than Fu Qinghai's imagination. This behemoth cut through waves and thorns all the way, riding on the chaotic ether currents in the storm and rushing all the way to the "loophole in the deep sea." Time and space in the storm were severely disrupted, and Fu Qinghai and others did not know how many light-years the Void Whale spanned.
Later, Fu Qinghai slowly realized that it was not that the void whale was swimming too fast, but that the subspace storm was too violent! The void whale couldn't help but let the violent ocean currents in the storm carry it around, spinning and drifting, sliding towards the unknown and mysterious whirlpool. Even a giant whale with a length of 3,000 kilometers cannot resist this terrifying storm that sweeps everything.
All of the above was seen by Fu Qinghai while lying in the gap between the teeth of the Void Whale. Colorful energy was floating and overflowing here. Outside was the sea of souls. Others did not dare to approach this area without the protection of the ghost armor. .
Fortunately, it is a subspace entity like the Void Whale.
Replace it with any human empire ship.
The Geller force field had long been torn apart by the storm.
Fu Qinghai did not see the screaming vortex. The size of the screaming vortex in the real universe is about the size of three or four galaxies. Of course, the naked eye cannot see the whole picture clearly. But Fu Qinghai is now very suspicious, and they are already in a whirlpool.
Fu Qinghai lay in the gap between the teeth of the Void Whale, as if he were in a valley between two straight mountains. After looking at it for a while, he felt that he didn't find anything else, so he got up and left the gap between the teeth of the whale, which was like a rift, and returned. Battleship.
…
"How's it going, Qingshan, did you find anything?"
Fu Qinghai just returned to the cruiser.
Saroyan asked impatiently.
Blindsight also looked over curiously.
"How should I describe it to you?"
Fu Qinghai thought for a while and described:
"The subspace storm is like a giant drum washing machine, which is constantly rotating and stirring to dehydrate and dry everything in the inner tank. We are just a speck of dust on a wet piece of clothing in the washing machine, praying that we will not be washed away. "
"ah?"
Saroyan's face instantly fell upon hearing this.
I feel like this plan is unreliable no matter how it sounds.
"What a great description."
Blindsight nodded and said.
"That's it for now, let's just leave it to fate."
Fu Qinghai put his hands on the dashboard and said:
"According to my previous analysis, the bottom of the Screaming Vortex is far from the end. After we come out of the eye of the storm, we have to pass through the demon world in the inner ring of the Screaming Vortex and the twilight world on the outside before we can truly return to the real universe. .”
The battle is far from over.
"Leave it to fate..."
Saroyan shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"But this 'heaven' wants to kill us."
"You said that people in the Calixis sector, including the Kronos expansion, have not yet discovered the existence of the Screaming Vortex. Since the farthest borders of the Human Empire have not yet expanded there, why is there anything in the Screaming Vortex? Where are the enemies?”
Blindsight raised her doubts.
"Because the Screaming Vortex was born much earlier than the Human Empire, and its history of existence is longer than that of the Human Empire. It is said that there were once several paradise worlds of the Eldar. They were destroyed because of the birth of Slaanesh, and hundreds of millions of souls were destroyed. This terrifying rift was formed by the howls of the clan before they died. Humanity only began its golden age after the demise of the ancient Eldar empire, so there are probably humans in the screaming vortex, but these people who are lingering in the world of twilight, maybe They don’t know anything about the Imperium of Man, nor about the Emperor or the Space Marines.”
Fu Qinghai explained patiently.
Still the same problem - the Empire of Man does not include all humans in the universe. Until the Great Crusade was interrupted by the Great Rebellion, there were still some marginal former colonies in the galaxy that had not been recovered by the human empire after the disintegration of the Golden Age. Perhaps there are still many remaining human forces far beyond the galaxy. In addition, after the Horus Heresy was put down, the Human Empire did not stop its pace of conquest - for example, the Markarian Expedition launched by Sun Lord Macarius greatly expanded the territory and territory of the Human Empire.
The three of them were chatting.
"Think, thump, thump, thump..."
Suddenly the water glass on the table shook.
Fu Qinghai and Saroyan looked at the cup together.
The clear water in the cup is rising and falling.
"Is the gravity simulation system malfunctioning?"
Fu Qinghai asked doubtfully.
"It's impossible. It was just checked."
Saroyan stepped hard on his feet.
"Could it be..."
Fu Qinghai thought of a possibility.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The battleship experienced a violent impact, and the entire bridge was spinning instantly. The impact was so violent that the gravity simulation system could not firmly absorb everyone. The mortal crew members and space warriors were thrown out, and they were hit hard around them. On top of the equipment box and display screen, then roll into a ball.
Fu Qinghai and Saroyan both fell heavily on the console. When the crisis came, Fu Qinghai took the time to pull Blindsight and protect her under him, preventing her from being hit by another one flying over from the side. Space Marines pressed into patties.
"Where did your passive prophecy go?"
Fu Qinghai looked up and shouted around.
"The prophecy didn't remind me, which means I won't die."
The blind girl struggled to utter a few words under him.
"What's going on? Are we under attack?"
Saroyan clung desperately to a fixture.
"The battleship is suffering an external impact, my lord!"
The mortal crew shouted in reply amid the crash.
"The Void Whale, it's the Void Whale that's rolling!"
Fu Qinghai rolled to the other side holding Blind Sight.
At this time, the dark red inner wall of the Void Whale's mouth undulated like an earthquake. A strike cruiser and a broken frigate lying here also rolled sideways continuously. The people in the battleship were like jelly beans in a jar. Collision and jump, hitting a slut with stars in his eyes.
This change came and went quickly.
Soon the battleship regained its stability and stopped rolling.
People were also reattached to the deck.
"We're here, Qingshan."
A voice suddenly sounded in Fu Qinghai's heart.
"Where are you?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"Beyond the Screaming Vortex."
The voice continued.
"real!?"
Fu Qinghai's expression changed and he stood up quickly.
He pushed Blindsight away from his arms and walked quickly to the hatch on the upper deck of the battleship. The hatch opened. Fu Qinghai unfolded the metal bat wings of the ghost armor and flew towards the gap between the teeth of the Void Whale, and then lay down on the two mountain-like mountains. The middle of the teeth is waiting to be seen.
The Void Whale also opened its upper and lower mouth slightly at the right time. It felt as if the entire world in front of him had been reopened. The dark sight was instantly filled with the vast scene, and Fu Qinghai felt suddenly enlightened.
Although there was still a dim and sickly light in the outer space, it was different. It was no longer the boundless darkness of the subspace accompanied by the colorful spiritual energy tide. He saw stars and planets. Although These planets are shrouded in light and appear twisted and weird.
"I'm back, I'm really back."
Fu Qinghai grinned and muttered to himself.
I, Hu Hansan, am back!
After an unknown number of days (time is chaotic in subspace), Fu Qinghai finally returned to the real universe. His plan was a great success, and his plan was feasible-when you were trapped in the warp storm, you could return to the real universe through rifts such as the Eye of Terror or the Screaming Vortex.
"Don't forget your promise to me, Qingshan."
The void whale then sent a thought and said.
"Of course, I didn't forget."
Fu Qinghai nodded and said:
"You take us out of the screaming whirlpool, and then I will give you your freedom. I will keep my word and never break my promise. Of course, if you eat something randomly and get a bad stomach in the future, you are welcome to come back to me. , my territory is in the place shrouded by the subspace storm, you know."
After successfully returning to the real universe, Fu Qinghai was in a good mood, and he was still joking with the Void Whale.
Although this big subspace whale swims very slowly in the real universe, since both ships have lost the Geller force field, Fu Qinghai has to rely on the void whale to lead him through the dangerous inner ring of the screaming vortex. World and Dusk Shadow World, wait until it is out of the range of the Screaming Vortex before letting it go.
Looking at the long-lost real universe outside, Fu Qinghai's heart was surging but he also kept reminding himself:
The battle is far from over.
Although he has never been to the Screaming Vortex, the descriptions in the running group information are all about the Screaming Vortex in the 41K period, not the current Screaming Vortex, but in such a place that has been shrouded in subspace energy for a long time, all kinds of things can come to mind. There are many ghosts and monsters, so don't take it lightly.
The void whale slowly flew over a planet.
Fu Qinghai stretched his head and looked down.
From an extremely long visual range, the planet possesses a strange, false beauty. The swirling tan color of the planet's surface is reminiscent of a desert planet, while floating above the planet are dark, wavy clouds that swirl in the upper atmosphere. A ring of iridescent light surrounds the entire planet, and four emerald-green moons hang like emeralds on a gold chain.
Fu Qinghai did not dare to let down his guard at all.
There is a high probability that this is a demonic world.
Sure enough, just as the Void Whale slowly passed by a certain satellite on the planet, Fu Qinghai was so close that he could see the thin clouds on the satellite. A blue dark cloud suddenly rose up from the clouds, forming a formation and swooping towards the whale. .
When they flew closer, Fu Qinghai finally saw the whole thing clearly. It turned out to be a blue and gold devil engine like a fighter plane. These Demon engines look like a blue raptor as a whole, with the cockpit covered with narrow and sharp pale bird skulls. The fuselage is studded with gems and equipped with laser turrets. These gems themselves are an all-round rotating turret base.
Fire Lord!
A Daemon Engine exclusive to Tzeentch.
"The battle is coming!"
Fu Qinghai immediately prepared to return to the cruiser.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
In the empty void, densely packed blue laser beams lit up out of thin air. These thick, naval gun-level lasers shot directly at the Tzeentch Demon Engine Cluster, instantly beating the group of Fire Lords to pieces and exploding into pieces. Globs of crumbs. The remaining demon engines that were lucky enough not to be hit immediately turned around and returned, rushing into the satellite clouds and disappearing.
Um? what happened?
Fu Qinghai stopped leaving.
Where did the light spear strike come from?
Fu Qinghai frowned and looked forward.
As if in response to his doubts, in the vast empty space where the blue laser had just been lit, a blur of light flickered and changed, and a slender and elegant white battleship slowly emerged. The entire hull has a streamlined shape with no edges and corners, and a huge blue energy sail unfolds at the tail.
Ada Dragon Boat!
Fu Qinghai opened his jaw in surprise.
A regular-class cruiser of the Ark Eldar Navy.
After turning off the holographic force field to reveal his body, the Eldar cruiser Gnakuli flew out a group of blue Nightwing fighters, escorting a red Phoenix fighter in the middle. This group of flexible and light Eldar fighters quickly flew around A circle approached the void whale, forming a three-dimensional formation and floating in front of Fu Qinghai.
Fu Qinghai stood between the teeth of the Void Whale and looked at the group of Eldar fighters in front of him, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
The oval cockpit cover of the Phoenix fighter in the middle opened outwards, and Fu Qinghai saw a slender female Eldar pilot wearing a helmet. The Eldest woman looked at herself quietly. She seemed to have pressed a certain device in the cabin, and a voice sounded on the communication channel of Fu Qinghai's neck armor:
"We have been waiting for you here for a long time, Qingshan."
The familiar and cold female voice sounded like ice cubes colliding.
Fu Qinghai's eyes widened instantly.
"Sarah!?"
The words came out of his mouth subconsciously.
