Section 718 Survival
The ape-man is a variant of humanity that is widely found in the realm of space. Their original ancestors were all space immigrants, i.e., pure-blooded imperial humans. Because the space field is full of various dangerous factors, gravity and the natural environment are very different from those of the overworld, resulting in the phenomenon of collective variation of migrants. In the case of the Verlock ape-man, it is the descendants of the human colonists in the realm of the Verlock space who mutated and became burly, savage ape-men.
This is an extremely obvious degenerative phenomenon. Due to the variation of various parts of the body, the thinking and intellectual abilities of the ape-man are greatly reduced. They are stupid, and their logical thinking is equivalent to some barbarian race in ancient times. They have forgotten how to use and operate machinery, returning to the primitive days when livestock were used for farming. Although ape-men are also space immigrants, it is no longer possible for the Empire to collect taxes from them, and it is basically a laissez-faire attitude towards them.
For the use of ape-men, it starts from some spatial areas where the allocation of forces is strictly unbalanced. Some Wehrmacht units were understaffed, so some apes were forcibly recruited from the garrison areas. Teaching an ape-man how to use a laser rifle is as difficult as teaching a two-year-old to solve calculus math problems. With the efforts of a very small number of officers with considerable patience, a complete set of ape-man domestication tutorials was finally developed. In particular, the best of them, the ape-men who had undergone a proper brain transplant and possessed a half-human consciousness, were promoted to combat squad leaders. The typical way of fighting is to simply unfold, get close to the enemy, and do what they do best - smash things in a violent way, and the enemy.
Ape people have a talent for dealing with dark creatures. Their power far exceeds that of the Dark Knight and Jazz. Since it is inexpensive to recruit apes, many Wehrmacht forces are willing to use this simple and inexpensive class. The only question is, how do you reunite them after the battle?
The scene of apes collectively attacking a target is extremely terrifying and terrifying. You'll see thousands of furious apemen wielding sticks, tomahawks, and a jumble of hand-to-hand weapons to chop their opponents into pieces.
That is not limited to the present. Sergeant Captain Kuskrat has only two ape-men in his hands, and as soon as they leave the fortifications, they will be shot alive by the overwhelming arrows of the dark creatures and become hedgehogs.
Laying down the body of Warrant Officer Porphyri, Sergeant Major Kuskrat was at a loss. The captain died, and he somehow became the supreme commander. At other times, this promotion would be a welcome success. But now, it just means responsibility, and trouble.
"Why didn't I pray to the Emperor this morning? Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out like this. ”
Kuskrat blamed himself as he swung his chainsaw sword and sliced the head of a mortally wounded Dark Knight next to him.
Not all news is bad. Just as the sergeant major was nervously thinking about what to do, the jubilant cheers of the mechanical priest were heard in his ears.
"It's finally fixed, this guy's tracks have been attached."
The mechanical priest stroked the troop carrier tracks with his oil-stained hands, nodding his head in satisfaction.
Kuskrat's brain did not go through the slightest at all, and it was completely instinctive, shouting to all the survivors: "Get on the troop carrier!" Quick, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, let's get out of this damn place. ”
The creatures of darkness have attacked again. After the explosion of the heavy throwing guns, the fire on the defensive positions had weakened considerably, and now it had completely stopped. This means that the human guards have either suffered heavy losses or have been killed.
Sergeant Major Kuskrat quickly jumped into the carriage and manipulated the cannon at the front of the roof to continuously strafe the approaching Dark Knight, covering the others to board the car. The remaining soldiers were also very cooperative, and the speed was faster than ever.
The sheer size of the two-headed ape-man caused problems for themselves, and their speed was a little slower. The soldiers under the Sergeant Major clearly did not have the patience to make way for the ape-men. Although this savage creature looks good on the battlefield, it is covered in body hair and stench. Usually everyone does this, and they try to avoid riding in the same car as the ape-man. But now, there's not much to do.
Kuskrat put a Dark Knight who was rushing to the front into the scope cross, and pulled the trigger hard, and the Dark Knight's head suddenly exploded, and most of his shoulders were shattered. Then, the sergeant major yelled at the driver, Corporal Chinook, who had already gotten into the cockpit, "Hurry up, you must rush out as much as you can." And the rest of the car, grab your weapons, and everyone will focus their shots in the direction of the vehicle! ”
Corporal Chinook's restless question came from the helmet communicator: "Sir, in which direction?" ”
Sergeant Major Kuskrat looked around, and what he saw could not give him an answer. There are ruins and smoke everywhere, and the ghost knows where the place is really safe at this time?
Then, just choose a random direction to rush ahead. As for the rest...... It can only be handed over to the emperor. He will bless us.
"The Emperor is above!"
Sergeant Major Kusklat roared angrily, "North, the wall to the north has been blown up. Just crash out there! ”
The roar of the engine of the armored car immediately drowned out a qiē sound, and in just a few seconds, it had already increased to maximum horsepower. Corporal Chinook pressed on the accelerator, and the armored car crossed the barrier at an incredible speed and slammed straight into the wall, where the entire wall collapsed and the tracks kicked up a cloud of dust. Everyone, including Sergeant Major Kuskrart, saw a Dark Knight lunged in from that direction, crushed by the falling wall, like a tree falling with a block of concrete. Then, he was crushed from the surface of his body by the heavy chariot tracks.
"Don't waste your bullets, shoot when you're ready."
"Be sure to get out."
"Emperor bless, we will not die."
The Seeker troop carrier rushed straight out of the crowd of Dark Knights, like a powerful speedboat breaking through the waves on the water. This change was too sudden, and no one thought that the remnants of the human army would choose this direction to break through. Corporal Chinook stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, and the armored vehicle let out a terrifying roar and kept rushing forward. Caught off guard, the dark creatures are mountainous, and there are still fools who don't have time to dodge and kill the red-eyed ones who want to resist the machinery with their own strength are knocked around. There were also a few particularly brave Dark Knights, who were knocked down by their chariots on the spot, and the tracks made terrifying noises as they ran over their bodies and heads.
Creatures of darkness certainly don't willingly give up their prey that is about to arrive. They formed battle teams in the chaos, firing their crossbows at close range. Sergeant Major Kuskrat had already retracted his body into the car, sparks were flying on the armored shell of the personnel carrier, and all kinds of arrows and even tomahawks rained down on the surface of the car, making a "clanging" sound. The loud noise made it impossible for the interior of the car to talk to each other. Actually, it doesn't need to be at all. The legionnaires and apes huddled together and didn't care, just firing from the firing ports of the carriages. Although there is not much ammunition left, now is definitely not the time to save ammunition.
Kuskrat had just aimed his shotgun at a dark knight when the armored car suddenly slammed, and the sergeant's body lost control, and he threw himself forward, loading a bullet belt worn by an ape-man on his shoulder, and his left eye socket was suddenly bloody. Fortunately, the gun in Kuskrart's hand did not go off.
"Bastard, what the hell is going on?"
Kuskrat held back the pain and roared at the driver: "How did you drive the car?" ”
"We just hit another wall."
Corporal Chinook swerved the car as he skilfully pulled up the joystick: "There are dark creatures everywhere, and there are simply a terrible number of them. Sir, where are we going? ”
Without waiting for Kuskrat to reply, Chinook added: "This car won't last long, and if it doesn't get out, we'll be finished." ”
"Out of town! Rush out of the city! ”
Sergeant Major Kuskrat wiped a handful of blood from his forehead, which made him look even more hideous: "The electronic map shows that the outside of the city is just to the north, which is to your left. When we get to the open area, we can run faster. Whatever stands in our way, we must rush out. ”
"I'm accelerating!"
"Faster, you can do it."
"O Emperor! Please save your servant......"
The armor baffle effectively blocks out the noise from the outside, but the vibration inside the hull can still be felt as strong and arrogant as the vehicle's engine is insolent. Chinook's face was pale, and he didn't want to slow down at all when he manipulated the chariot, and directly rushed through the defense line of the dark creatures. Hoarse screams were heard from outside the car, and you could even feel the movement of the tracks running over the soft body and hard bones. The vehicle continued to rush forward, the engine roared arrogantly, and slammed headlong into the barbed wire, knocking the railings on both sides into the air, and then the troop carrier leaned forward as a whole, sliding straight down the slope of the other side of the road at a frightening speed at a 45-degree angle. The people in the car cursed like cement in a mixer. Sergeant Major Kusklat also lost his grip, and the whole person was squeezed between the ape-man's hairy legs. Kuskrat felt like he was about to vomit, he had never been so close to an ape-man as he was now. Moreover, it is located in the huge genital location of the ape-man.
The armored vehicle finally broke through the lines of the dark creatures. Corporal Chinook didn't slow down, still pressing the accelerator.
Kuskrat gasped for air with his eyes closed, feeling he desperately needed fresh air. Otherwise, the strong, foul-smelling body odor of the ape-man is simply a poison.
The apes had no expression on their faces. They don't seem to know what fear is. Or, the emotion has been removed from their brains.
"Praise to His Majesty the Emperor, we are still alive."
Sergeant Major Kuskrat almost groaned as he uttered the words, causing the rest of the carriage to react. However, at this moment, a heavy throwing gun thrown from a distance landed on the side of the car and exploded.
The armored hull was tilted to the side, but did not tip over, the tracks fell, and the car still ran forward.
Kuskrat looked out before knocking down the firing port and saw dozens of Dark Knights rushing down the hillside. They were clearly unwilling to just let the fugitives go. At the top of the slope, several burly werewolves had already appeared. They have heavy throwing guns in their hands, and judging by the direction and target, they should be on their side.
Corporal Chinook's perception of danger was apparently more sober than Cuskrat's. He immediately resorted to a serpentine maneuver to evade the attack. Three volleys of throwing guns exploded in succession near the armored vehicle, but failed to cause damage to the vehicle itself. That luck didn't last forever, though. Just as Corporal Chinook was maneuvering the vehicle and turning the corner, a throwing gun landed on the driving path directly ahead, less than two meters away from the personnel carrier. The explosion caused flames, and Kuskrat felt a wave of heat rush over his face, and the outside of the car was filled with smoke and flames.
On the side, there is also a hillside, and at the bottom of the slope is a deep artificial lake.
"Go on! This is our last chance. ”
Kuskrat yelled at Corporal Chinook: "Turn right 90 degrees, turn immediately." ”
Everyone felt the front of the car sagging suddenly, and then the troop carrier rushed headlong into the lake, slowly sinking.
……
I don't know how long it took, but Kuskrat felt cold water splash on his face, which stimulated him to open his eyes.
What caught my eye was Private Anfuer's surprised face: "Sir, are you feeling better?" We won, we're alive. We're still alive! ”
Sergeant Major Kuskrat stood up weakly from the ground and interrupted Anful in a hoarse voice: "What about the others? How are they doing? ”
"Everybody's still alive. However, all of them suffered minor injuries. You're doing well, but Corporal Chinook is doing worse. He's got a broken left arm, and I think it's going to take a while for him to get better. The mechanical priest had a broken leg, and it found some parts to replace it, and now it was able to move. And those apes, they are simply the incorruptible body of King Kong, at most it is a flesh wound, maybe lucky, but it is indeed enviable. ”
The Mechanic Priest is not a regular member of the main legion. That's actually an upgraded version of the mechanical slave. This military slave laborer was specially blessed by the Holy See, equipped with weapons, and proficient in the repair of machinery and the rescue of battlefield vehicles. It is no exaggeration to say that it is equivalent to a multi-functional biorobot with superb technology in a combat state.
For the second half of Anfol's words, Sergeant Major Kuskrat did not listen. He let out a long exhale, looked up, stared at the cloudy sky, and remembered the words of the Squad Priest before he died: "Don't give up hope at any time." Remember, the emperor is watching over us, and he has been bless us. ”
……
Su Hao has been rushing to the front of the battle team.
When he ran into the alleyway, Su Hao suddenly jumped out to the side, and then used his hands and feet together, although his body was very low, his speed was extremely fast. In just a few turns, Su Hao had already rushed out dozens of meters away. He saw the Dark Knight close at hand, a marksman armed with a heavy crossbow. When Su Hao wielded the chainsaw sword and cut the opponent's neck horizontally, the dark knight who fell to the ground from the air? The skull is still full of fear and unbelief. It couldn't even imagine how this human had managed to get behind it through the defenses.
The fierce battle did not last long. Seven minutes and eleven seconds later, the entire position had become calm.
Four tactical squads, a total of eighty elite legionnaires, launched an attack on the same target, and the seemingly formidable defense line of dark creatures was breached in just a few minutes. The ground was littered with their corpses, but they were incomplete, almost all of them were pieces that had been cut by chainsaw swords and tomahawks.
Everyone saw Su Hao's almost ghostly speed and style of play. If Su Hao hadn't sneaked into the defense line alone and killed the werewolves and dark shooters who occupied the terrain and were responsible for long-range attacks one after another, the whole team's attack would definitely not be as smooth as it is now, and there would not have been any loss of personnel.
Priest Torugal put away the chainsaw sword, looked at Su Hao with respectful eyes, and asked, "How did you do it?" Can you teach me? ”
A lieutenant captain also leaned over and said, "Sir, this is the first time I've seen a style of play like yours. They were caught off guard, and even if they broke through from the front, we were under no pressure. Praise the Emperor, you are the best warrior I have ever met. ”
Su Hao smiled faintly and inserted the arrow gun in his hand into the backpack behind him.
On military maps, this position is marked as "Area 32". According to the battle plan, this place was supposed to be defended by the 3rd Company of the 6th Independent Regiment of the "Ultramarine" regiment. Entering this area, Su Hao has not been able to contact the company commander, Captain Flobel. Now that the battle is over, no trace of the company has been found.
Pharmacist Zhang Zhongyuan saw through Su Hao's thoughts and comforted: "Perhaps, the third company has already evacuated this area in advance. ”
"I don't agree with you."
The expression on Su Hao's face was cloudy: "We all know that dark creatures have an ugly habit of using human warriors as food. Even if the communicator is damaged, there should be another way to get in touch. Just by looking at the shattered buildings and the ground, you know what a terrible battle has been fought. If I'm not mistaken, the third company should have been wiped out, and they probably hit the last man. ”
Zhang Zhongyuan couldn't help but shudder. He turned his head, only to see the priest Torugal who was looking at him with the same inquiring gaze.
Annihilation, this kind of thing rarely happens to legionnaires.
But if it does appear, it means that the battle is extremely fierce, even far beyond expectations.
