"I'm slot!"

This is probably the common thought of every survivor on the barge at this moment. But no matter how loud the scolding is, no matter how ugly the scolding is, it still won't help, and it is impossible to change his current situation.

"Fuck you!"

Unable to hide any longer, Kuskrat jerked off the dirty, stinking canvas covering his body, leaped up from the cabin, grabbed the shotgun in his hand, and aimed it at the Chaos Warrior who had already held it to his chest, and pulled the trigger hard.

They have been infected.

But not everyone who is infected will have the same changes. The Coxon mutation encountered by Su Hao's team in the DS A 66 space belonged to the direct occupation of the body by space creatures, plus xenovirus parasitism. It is the most difficult of all infection states to deal with, and it is also the most powerful of the mutations. According to the Holy See's classification of infection, Coxon is the equivalent of many infected "seeds", that is, the source of contamination for others. If he is allowed to continue to spread, the rest of the Legionnaires will change their bodies, but they will not evolve into the exact same powerful individuals as Coxen. It's just that their physical state is affected, and then their brains are changed. This infection is only based on mental awareness. As far as the ontology is concerned, it is still purely human.

The difference between a Chaos Warrior and a Legionnaire is only in their respective states of mind and allegiance to their goals. The former swore allegiance to space creatures, and the latter worshipped the emperor.

This shot was very accurate, and it directly exploded the head of the Chaos Warrior who was caught off guard, and the brains and flesh were splattered everywhere.

Kuskrat didn't have time to check his results, so he jumped from the boat to the shore with a lunge, swung his left fist at the nearest cultist's head, and with his right hand, he pulled out the chainsaw sword in his backpack and slashed at another Chaos warrior next to him with his thumb nimbly pressing the engine button.

The previous melee had already consumed too much ammunition. In the past, Kuskrat would have been more than happy to use the easiest and safest way to shoot these filthy creatures with a single bullet. Now, they have to rely more on hand-to-hand combat.

The Chaos Warrior's reaction was much quicker than Kuskrat had imagined, and he lunged at Kuskrat's face with a punch, and the sergeant major hurriedly raised his hand to block it, and the opponent's fist landed heavily on his left wrist. That place happened to be in the middle of the battle, where the armor was damaged and the protection was lost. Kuskrat immediately felt a sharp pain hit him, and the chainsaw sword in his hand suddenly flew out. As he tried to regain his footing, the Chaos Warrior was already smiling and raising his gun again.

"Whew--"

A huge black shadow flew through the air, grabbed the Chaos Warrior's waist, and knocked him to the ground. Kuskrat seized the opportunity to grab the chainsaw sword he had dropped, and slashed off the head of the Chaos Warrior as quickly as he could. He had always loved the feeling of a chainsaw cutting through bones, but the saw was too close to the ground, and the tiger's mouth holding the sword was numb.

The shadow was the ape Gimoff. The burly and powerful creature was so fierce that after confirming that the Chaos Warrior, who had lost his head and was still twitching his hands and feet, could no longer pose a threat to himself, Glimov the ape screamed and pounced on the other enemy.

Kuskrat scrambled to pick up the ammo pack and gun from the corpse of the Chaos Warrior, followed in Gemoff's footsteps, and mended the next Chaos Warrior caught by the ape-man.

It's close to the bridge under construction over the river. Kuskrat didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, he wasn't much of an insider, and he wasn't too good a commander. Kusklat only vaguely felt that something was not quite right with such a bridge in such a place. His own group of warriors who rushed out of the barge had already caused disturbance and chaos to the chaotic creatures who were building bridges. Purely instinctively, Kuskrat picked up the gun that belonged to the Death Chaos Warrior in his hand and fired it fiercely towards the densest crowd in that direction.

Kuskrart's movements immediately attracted the attention of the squad members, Private Amphor. The young soldier grabbed the gun of another Dead Chaos Warrior and stood next to the sergeant major, following his movements, pouring fire in that direction.

Kuskrat saw many cultists screaming and falling, and there were even a few Chaos Warriors who didn't have time to dodge. Those guys' combat power is equivalent to that of the most elite legionnaires, and if they were facing the enemy head-on on the battlefield, they would definitely not be able to let them go so lightly. Right now......

Suddenly, a stray bullet from a distance hit Anfull in the head. Kuskrat jerked his head back and saw Anfuor's head jerk back, then his body spun in a circle like a spinning top, and fell headlong.

p>No, no one must die!

Kuskrat rushed forward, grabbed Anfuel's arm and rested it on his shoulder, then turned and ran in the direction he had chosen, shouting to the others, "We need to get out of here." Anfuel was shot, and the ape-man took the lead, and the others followed, charging in the direction of the ruins of the city over there. ”

The ruins of the city, which is the direction in which the Kusklat team had come before. The strength of the current squad has been weakened very much, and in this case, it is simply impossible to fight against the enemy. The only choice is to try to choose a place with complex terrain such as ruins, and the odds may be better.

The two ape-men rushed ahead and roared wildly, each clutching at a heavy steel bar that they had picked up from somewhere. Guns are redundant to apes, and smashing people directly with sticks is more in line with their understanding of "weapons". Kuskrat held the wounded and unconscious Anfuel on his shoulder, and Chinook and the Mechanical Priest followed him, running and covering the shots. It was in this chaotic situation that Chinook's shooting accuracy actually reached a level that even he himself was surprised by.

He panted and said, "Hey! Sergeant Major, see no, I, I, I killed three Chaos variants, and several Evil Cultists. ”

"Good!"

Kuskrat was annoyed by Anfol's serious injuries and was not interested in dealing with Chinook: "You should use this kind of accuracy on women." Shoot at a finger and try to get them pregnant every time, and then you'll have a whole bunch of kids who call you "Daddy". ”

"Oh! It was a terrible nightmare. ”

"Fart, that's the highest dream of all men like you!"

The river, which separates the creatures of chaos into two parts. The chaos caused by Kuskrat and others has affected the progress of the project on the other side of the river. The creatures of Chaos have descended into utter madness. Although the distance was very long, there were still raindrops of bullets "whizzing" by. The Chaos Warriors seemed to be furious, trying to kill the few who suddenly appeared and fled quickly.

There was no movement behind him.

Even Kuskrat himself found it strange. Now that I think about it, it's clear that the construction site by the river is not normal. He looked around, and there was no trace of the pursuers. Many thoughts that were originally in the mind, suppressed by fear, were born again in the air of freedom, and quickly sprouted.

By any measure, the number of Chaos Warriors along the river is simply too small. They are not at all proportional to the number of cultists responsible for the construction of the bridge. This is clearly not their normal practice.

Could it be that the previous battle with the dark creatures consumed too many warriors of the Chaos Legion?

There is a possibility.

The corpses of dark creatures piled up on the banks of the river like hills may be the best proof of this.

All sorts of jumbled ideas came out of Kuskrart's head. He shook his head vigorously to chase the thoughts away. Now, the most important thing is to find a safe place to rest and then get in touch with the command center.

……

The night is long, but after all, it will usher in the dawn.

In the faint morning light, the figures of several heavily armed legionnaires gradually emerged from behind the cold and hard ruins cover.

This is a makeshift camp for dark creatures that was captured just yesterday. Their defenses are not very tight, and they are guarded by less than ten Dark Knights and less than thirty high-level Dark Warriors. All in all, the battle was easy and did not inflict any casualties on the attackers.

As the number of reinforcements entering this space realm increased, so did the area occupied by the Human Empire within the space. The numerical superiority of the dark creatures is no longer as obvious as before, and according to the order of the command center, the battle direction of Su Hao's department continues the traces of the third company of the previous "Ultra Warrior" independent sixth regiment. There was only one order: to find the third company and all the survivors in this direction and bring them back safely.

This practice is the practice of the main army. As long as one person is alive, a fighting team with heavy casualties can still be rebuilt. In this case, the only survivor is precious.

Pharmacist Zhang Zhongyuan stared at the corpse on the ground that had been dissected by himself, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"This guy is very badly injured. Being able to get here may already be its physical limit. It seems, it should belong to some big man in the dark creatures. Well, by the way, it's a knight, and that's the only way to explain why the Dark Knight and the warriors didn't abandon it, but came here in cover. ”

At night, it has a special meaning for dark creatures. They tend to be particularly active at such times and are much more physically functional than during the day. Su Hao's team found this temporary camp yesterday evening. Among the war dead was this Dark Sir who was shot in the head and died on the spot.

Su Hao did not stop Zhang Zhongyuan's move to dissect the dark sir. Although he felt that this practice was very redundant. Judging from the traces left at the scene, it is clear that this group of dark creatures has retreated from the front line and retreated all the way here. Whether it is a dark warrior or a knight, the surface of the body is more or less wounded, the armor is tattered, and the wear and tear of the weapon is relatively severe. It was precisely because of this that the battle under Su Hao's department was very smooth, and it took almost no effort to annihilate these dark creatures.

Cut open the head of the Dark Sir and dig up a smooth azurite. Su Hao stood up from the corpse and looked into the distance still hidden in the depths of the mist.

There was the sound of rumbling artillery from time to time, explosions and fires looming, and the battle was still fierce, but it was already far from where he was.

Priest Torugal crouched on the ground, observing the corpses of each dead dark creature in turn.

"There is something strange about these wounds. It doesn't look like it's our standard weapon, it's not a chainsaw sword or a shotgun, it's not a Wehrmacht-specific laser rifle. ”

Suddenly, the pastor suddenly shouted, "Hey! Look at this, come and see this, this is the Chaos Legion's dedicated proliferation warhead. Damn, I knew it was going to be like this. These filthy and evil guys can be seen everywhere they go. These betrayers. They apparently sneaked into this space realm without us noticing. ”

Even a person like Su Hao, who has no feelings for the Third World, still can't help but feel his body tremble when he hears the words "Chaos Legion". Of course he knew the names of these betrayers, and he knew that they were far more of a threat than the creatures of darkness. In particular, combat effectiveness is beyond doubt. Even in a desperate situation, surrounded by several times the number of troops, it is very difficult to completely annihilate the chaotic creatures.

What about dark creatures? Su Hao looked at those corpses carefully, the dark nobles who entered the space realm to fight, whether they were knights or knights, their comprehensive strength far exceeded those they had come into contact with in Konoha Town. Even the servants around them, the dark warriors, are as strong as legion servants like Vimore. Especially if they are well-equipped, high-level dark warriors can easily take out even legionnaires. The battlefield is always full of ever-changing possibilities, both in our favor and in the enemy's favor.

"Connect with the command center. Tell them everything that happened here. ”

Su Hao glanced at the strange wound on the surface of the dark sir's body, and said lightly, "Things have exceeded our imagination and control. The direction of the war in this space realm needs to be decided by higher-level figures. ”

"That's true."

Priest Torugal nodded, stood up from the corpse, and said seriously, "It's rare for the Chaos Legion and the Dark World to appear in the same spatial realm. If I'm not mistaken, there's definitely something here that they share interest. ”

"Do you still have to say that?"

Pharmacist Zhang Zhongyuan took over: "Obviously, what they want is beyond our comprehension. We don't know anything about this. Maybe it's the negligence of the intelligence officers, or maybe it's a deliberate cover-up by someone. But in any case, our task is to bring back those who are still alive. ”

Su Hao was about to speak, when the electronic communicator on his wrist suddenly heard a slight prompt vibration. He clicked on the screen, and an emergency communication from the ground command center immediately appeared.

"The Sixth Regiment of the Ultramarines Independent, the Third Company is completely wiped out."

Information, just a short line of words. However, the content carried and displayed in it makes everyone who sees it have too many complicated and messy ideas.

"Annihilation?"

Pastor Torul apparently struggled to accept the fact that "there wasn't a single survivor? Even the last genetic seed is gone? ”

The chances of this happening are slim. After all, even in the worst of times, a survivor must survive the encirclement. This has become a strict rule for the major army corps.

"It seems that our mission has to change."

The pharmacist Zhang Zhongyuan's thoughts were much clearer than Tolugar's. He looked at Su Hao: "Sir, what should we do next?" ”

Su Hao did not answer. He flicked the holographic screen, and a new line of commands appeared underneath the previous row of text.

"The second company of the war group is currently out of contact, and your unit is focusing on the area where it is currently located, and is conducting a search on the spot. All survivors must be brought back at all costs. ”

Su Hao enlarged the screen so that everyone present could see it. At the same time, open the team's internal channel and forward the command details to everyone's tactical computer.

"That's what we're going to do next."

Su Hao raised his head, called the voice channel in the helmet, and said in a loud voice: "The logistics supply vehicle will arrive here in half an hour." Now, everyone dispersed in search formations, trying to find every place where they might have left a trace. Once we're done with the supplies, we'll move on. ”

……

The sky was getting dark, and the rain was falling in the overcast sky. This kind of changeable weather is common in the HJ A 1071 space field. Meteorologists may feel this deeply, but now, no one who survives the Second Company will feel that it is a happy thing for them.

As night falls, plus damn rain, temperatures are dropping, and fast. The chill penetrated the power armor and invaded people's bodies.

Under normal circumstances, the Legionnaire would not be afraid of temperature changes at all. The Powerframe itself comes with a thermostat that can fight in most environments. Unfortunately, in the previous battle, everyone's armor was damaged in different ways. To make matters worse, the thermostat was ineffective and even the communication system was broken.

Kuskrat would love to make a fire. In that case, a lot of problems can be solved, and there is hot water to drink. But he didn't dare: a horde of angry Chaos Legionnaires were nearby, with smoke and flames, and with this obvious signal, the evil creatures could easily find them.

Corporal Chinook looked at Anfuer, who was gradually regaining consciousness, and asked worriedly, "Sergeant Major, how is he now?" ”

"This kid is in good luck."

Kuskrat comforted: "That bullet just grazed his helmet and did not pose any danger. But we and Anfuel were terrified, and he was afraid that he had not fully recovered until now. Perhaps, there will be some slight concussion. But he is still alive after all, and maybe he will live for a long time. ”
