Chapter 43: Reunion

Equatorial jungle, temporary stronghold.

The flat land in this hilly basin was originally a temporary stronghold of the Red Sun Machine Repair Gang and the Burst Skull Tribe, but now it was reused by Fu Qinghai as a forward base and supply site.

"Kluts?"

Fu Qinghai turned his head and asked.

"Yes, there are more than we can imagine."

Joshida said in a deep voice.

"Such a large force is hidden under our noses, and we are unaware of it......"

Fu Qinghai frowned and pondered.

Looking back, Fu Qinghai has not fought against an opponent who is good at stealth: the one from . The wizard of the Rowling universe, wearing the same invisibility cloak as Harry Potter; That super mutant from the Fallout universe with the Invisible Kid on his arm; Black Snake Nayden's invisibility cloak from the Special Forces universe; Including Koshvito, the set of secondary power penetration armor that he once gave his men to wear, that is, SPI power armor......

These fragments of invisible magic or stealth technology from different universes all have a unified characteristic: in the face of thermal imaging technology, they can be seen through at a glance.

So he never thought of reversely researching these stealth technologies, in this duel between stealth and anti-stealth, the "spear" (anti-stealth) is greater than the "shield" (stealth).

But the Kluts ......

Fu Qinghai squatted down and looked at the corpse of a Krut man at his feet, which Satfaran had just gotten to get.

Fu Qinghai pinched the grease coating on the skin of the corpse and rubbed it in the palm of his hand.

"This oil secretion shields out thermal imaging."

Fu Qinghai concluded.

The special warfare boy of the Blood Axe Clan, known as the "Viet Cong Orc" - I think this will not be discovered. The Iron Float had fought against them before, and now it seemed that the Jungle Hidden Piece might be a little stronger than the Kruts.

"Aren't we passive?"

Josda asked.

"This secretion is fucking stinky."

Fu Qinghai stood up:

"The camouflage of the Kruts is not without flaws, at least we can smell them, at a distance."

……

Three companies of jet motorcycles rushed forward to support.

Fu Qinghai realized that he had made a mistake.

He underestimated the Kluts.

The Klut people's racial talents have some aliens similar to the weakened version, and here "aliens" refer to the aliens in the movie "Aliens". By devouring a large amount of flesh, the Kruts were able to evolve the racial talents and racial traits of the devouring target - strength, flight, diving, environmental adaptation, and so on.

However, unlike the alien, the first generation of infected receptors, the second generation can reflect the traits of the infected, and the evolution rate is extremely fast. Kluts often need to constantly devour organisms with the same trait in large quantities in order to gradually acquire this trait.

This evolutionary method of openness to foreign genes is very easy to overturn, in the words of the original book, it is "into a dead end of evolution", and many Klute people become more and more stupid and stupid the more they eat, and the "evolution" becomes "atavism" and "degradation".

Therefore, the "Krut Carnivores" need some sane people who can overcome the desire to devour physiology, to lead and plan their evolutionary direction, and these Klut leaders who can resist the desire for flesh are called "Klut Shaper".

According to Fu Qinghai's original thoughts, the Krut people have not yet taken refuge in the Titanium Empire, and the weapons and equipment in their hands are very primitive and backward, and without the advanced weapons that the Titanium Monarch has created for them, they are not afraid of the flesh alone. Even if it has the potential to devour evolution, it is no match for a Space Marine.

But he overlooked one point:

The Krut people are all soldiers.

A war ball ship and a battle barge are both the size of a battleship of the 12-kilometer class in length, and the former has a spherical shape and is significantly larger. Even if it is assumed that the number of crew required for both types of warships is about the same, not everyone is a soldier and everyone can fight, and the Klut are all extremely physical soldiers when they are adults.

"Don't take it lightly."

Jet bikes whizzed across the sky.

Fu Qinghai said in the communication channel:

"They have at least 10,000 Klut meat eaters."

Saloyan Scarson's judgment and decision was correct.

The Thunderwolf Cavalry is extremely high-quality as a single soldier, and can easily torture and kill these aliens and then break out of the encirclement, and the Kruts may not be able to help them, but what about the two Imperial Guards who are fighting together, the Krieg Death Cavalry and the Attila Barbarian Cavalry?

Do you want to give them up?

Space wolves would never make such a decision.

Barbarism to barbarism, bloodthirstiness to bloodthirstiness, the wolf group is definitely the most affectionate and righteous force among the interstellar marines, in the future 41K era, the space wolf wargroup because of similar incidents, and the gray knight and the inquisitor have directly turned their faces.

……

As soon as they arrived at the battlefield, they saw the Thunderwolf cavalry and the Krut cavalry tearing together.

The Space Wolf Tactical Squad fought and retreated, and the cavalry covering the two Imperial Guards evacuated as soon as possible.

"Filial Lock Dragoon, Krut Ape Beast."

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

The existence of these two riding beasts is a typical example of the Krut people "walking into an evolutionary dead end", they are said to have been Krut people, but because they devoured too many muscle and physique-enhancing genetic fragments, their brain function deteriorated, and they eventually became outright brutal beasts.

It's the same as Fenris's wolf.

"Gah-"

The Hyosuo Dragoon hissed sharply, manipulating the cannon and crossbow on the dragon's back, and constantly firing at the surroundings.

"Roar—"

Saloyan Scarson bared his fangs and returned with a roar of filial piety, hammer after axe, and slew a powerful, thick-skinned Krut ape beast in two blows.

The motorized cavalry quickly intervened and took over the battlefield.

The forest is deep and dense, and it is difficult to aim, so first a round of heavy explosive shells strafe cover, regardless of whether it hits or not, jump directly off the jet motorcycle, grab the weapon, and kill the Krut people.

Unlike the Krieg Death Cavalry and Attila Cavalry, which require space, formation, and dash distance, Space Marines are well adapted to the chaotic battlefield where enemies come from all directions, and quickly beat the Klut people.

Fu Qinghai did not immediately join the battle.

He was flying through the sky.

The Klut people are weaker than Fu Qinghai imagined.

Krut and the Titanium Empire complement each other, in the 31K era, without the technological bonus of the Titanium King, these physical and powerful aliens rely on brute force and agility, and they can't fight with the Space Marines wearing power armor at all, unless they hit the eyepieces, necks, joint gaps and other vital parts, otherwise they will just form a group to send the Space Marines to death.

As for the giant filial piety lock dragon, in Fu Qinghai's impression, it is an existence that can compete with the Scroog giant beast (video games and table rules), but in the actual battle, a few giant filial piety lock dragons can't make waves at all.

Although the Thunderwolf is not as large as the giant Filial Lock Dragon, they have a technology bonus from the Cult of the Mechanicus, and the Technopriest replaced the Thunderwolf with prosthetic modifications such as the Adamantite Jaw and Mechanical Front Paws, completely crushing the Filial Lock Dragoon and the Krut Ape.

There is no suspense, and the alien is doomed.

Fu Qinghai looked up into the distance.

Suddenly, a flash of red caught his attention.

Fu Qinghai confirmed that he was not dazzled, and there was indeed an undetectable red reflection just now, and the direction in which it disappeared......

Fu Qinghai took out the data tablet and saw that it was marked with the words "network exit", and they were about to go to the area they were searching for.

Fu Qinghai pushed the grip to turn around, and the tail of the jet motorcycle burst into flames, and he "swished" away, and by the way, he commanded the three subordinates:

"Josda, quickly defeat them, don't scatter the pursuit, and join me as soon as you're done."

"Roger, Khan!"

Inside the communication channel, the voice of the first company commander was low and humming, panting, and seemed to be in a fierce battle.

……

"Hugh—"

The bow of the Bullock jet motorcycle, crackling the air, straight forward, the golden Skyhawk floated upright in the wind, and below was the muzzle of a black hole in the heavy explosive bullet.

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 a Spirit Jet Motorcycle!

Fu Qinghai is very sure.

"Shining Spear?"

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

It is also a single-seater jet motorcycle, compared to the violent aesthetics of the Star Marine's heavy locomotive, smooth lines, light structure, fin-shaped diversion canards, full of the structural characteristics and design aesthetics of the Aidaling, who is not the unique tribal warrior of the Ark Spirits - the Shining Spear?

Meaning that the Ark Spirit Clan also came to intervene?

The lone shining spear in the distance was obviously aware of the presence of the pursuers behind it, there were no obstacles in the sky, and the noise of the jet bike was not small.

The other party accelerated suddenly, and the jet bike sprang forward lightly, trying to get out of the track.

Fu Qinghai stepped on the accelerator to the end, the jet motorcycle shook violently, and the wake set off a heat wave, and it suddenly rushed forward.

The two began to chase.

The jet bike of the Spirit Clan is obviously faster than its own jet motorcycle, and the accelerator is almost in the engine, but it still can't shorten the distance between the two, and even widens it.

This discovery made Fu Qinghai very uncomfortable.

White Scar is the fastest in the Human Empire, but compared to the entire Warhammer 40K universe, the Space Necrons and the Aeldarns are faster than White Scar.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

Just like the Raven Guard is the most stealthy in the Human Empire, but compared to the entire Warhammer 40K universe, the special units of many forces are more stealthy than the Raven Guard.

It's an unacceptable fact.

At this moment, the other party suddenly slowed down.

seemed to be waiting for Fu Qinghai to catch up.

Fu Qinghai looked back and saw that the battlefield of the fierce battle and his troops had all disappeared beyond the horizon, very far away from here, and there was only a vast sea of forests around him.

"Hmph."

Fu Qinghai snorted lightly

I know what the Shining Spear is up to.

Fu Qinghai did not slow down and continued to soar, quickly closing the distance between the two, until the fluttering red shrine banner behind the Shining Spear came into view.

Fu Qinghai made up his mind to catch a live one, his fingers pressed the grip button, and the heavy explosive bomb in front of the front of the car spewed out a long tongue of fire, aiming at the tail of the Spirit Clan's motorcycle.

As expected, the Shining Spear easily dodged the heavy explosive bomb that came when it rolled sideways, and each clan warrior was a high-level soldier who pursued the path of the Spirit Clan, not a minion fish, Fu Qinghai didn't expect to be able to shoot him down with the heavy explosive bomb alone.

Fu Qinghai continued to chase and bite, and he saw the rider on the back of the jet motorcycle, the close-fitting light spirit bone armor, and the red mane fluttering behind the mask was very conspicuous...... Well? Doesn't seem like a shining spear, but a howling banshee?

Just reacted.

The howling banshee turned her head to reveal its hideous breathing valve.

"Roar—"

A sharp shriek of psionic energy swept in.

Fu Qinghai was suddenly impacted, and the whole person was instantly stunned.

The howling banshee manipulated the jet bike to make a graceful turn, the power scimitar in her hand was already raised high, and the two jet bikes were about to stagger past the moment......

"Dang!"

Fu Qinghai grabbed the power shut-off knife and blocked the fatal blow. He was unexpectedly the howling banshee, and quickly recovered from the trance caused by the psionic scream.

The quadruple strengthening physique is not covered.

Fu Qinghai sucked the blood flowing from his nose, his arm shook and opened the power scimitar, and slashed at the howling banshee with a wave of his hand, the other party hurriedly set up a knife to block it, but he was bent by the huge force that came from the blade, and almost accidentally fell off the motorcycle.

The two jet bikes are entangled like two swimming fish, circling in a circle.

The Space Marines control the jet motorcycle in one hand and hold the power off knife in the other, swinging it with one arm and slashing it several times, one inch long and one inch strong, and the power off knife is wide open and close.

"Crackling", the cracking force field repelled each other, bursting with shining arc sparks, several times of blowing, the howling banshee's arm shook numb, the bones trembled, knowing that the strength was inferior to the other party, and hurriedly manipulated the jet motorcycle to move forward lightly, trying to accelerate and open the distance.

Fu Qinghai chased after the accelerator as soon as he stepped on the knife.

The fin-like structure on both sides of the Spirit Jet Motorcycle seems to endow it with an exceptionally agile low-altitude maneuvering steering ability, and the Howling Banshee's driving skills are no less than the genuine Shining Spear, pulling up the grip and rolling upside down, a "Kurbit"-style somersault throws off the pursuers behind him, and the twin star dart projectiles mounted under the jet motorcycle are aimed at Fu Qinghai and spits out a series of black single-molecule shuttle darts.

Several large star darts hit Fu Qinghai, and these black flakes with almost no thickness easily submerged into the triple composite armor, but they were fixed in front of the vibranium lining, and were inlaid on the power armor.

Fu Qinghai did not suffer any damage, and also showed a "barrel rolling" technical move, the jet motorcycle rolled in a spiral axis, and the howling banshee chasing after him was difficult to predict his flight trajectory and aim and lock.

Immediately after Fu Qinghai's jet motorcycle, the nose of the jet motorcycle slammed up, reaching an overload and stall state, and the Spirit Jet Motorcycle, which was originally closely following, staggered past him at a moment, and at this moment the howling banshee looked up at the Space Marine, as if she felt his contempt and disapproval through the helmet and eyepieces.

Play with motorcycles, you're still a little tender!

Fu Qinghai's jet motorcycle nose slammed down, re-leveled and started to accelerate, completing a beautiful cobra-like maneuver, and then firing a series of heavy bombs.

At such a close distance, the Howling Banshee had no way to dodge, and several shards exploded from the tail of the jet motorcycle, sending black smoke and fire out in unison, falling in circles.

Fu Qinghai chased after him in a dozen directions, but who knew that the howling banshee actually stepped on the falling jet motorcycle and did a somersault, accompanied by a scream of spiritual energy, and came straight to Fu Qinghai.

"Bang!"

The two slammed into each other.

The howling banshee knocked Fu Qinghai out of the motorcycle seat and fell down together. In mid-air, the two of them had nowhere to borrow their strength, constantly rolling and entangled: the howling banshee had just lifted the star dart pistol and was slapped by Fu Qinghai, Fu Qinghai kicked on the stomach of the howling banshee, opened the distance and waved the knife, about to twist the handle of the knife before the crackling howling banshee, turned the slash into a slap, and slapped the spirit woman in a big pocket, making her whole person roll and spin in mid-air......

"Peng!"

The two collided with a dense canopy.

"Smack!"

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

"Bang!"

The howling banshees and the space marines slammed to the ground.

"Uh......"

The howling banshee landed on her back and writhed on the ground, letting out a painful moan from her mouth.

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

Fu Qinghai didn't care about the weapons and equipment scattered around, the whole person pressed on the spirit woman, held her arms with both hands, and pressed her knees against her thighs, firmly controlling her, regardless of her violent struggle, he said in a cold voice:

"Surrender, keep you from dying."

"Never... No way...... Hey? ”

The Spirit Clan woman struggled hard, trying to break free of Fu Qinghai's iron pincers, and the banshee mask on her face had already cracked open, and slipped off as she writhed, revealing half of her face.

Hearing that familiar voice from the depths of memory, which seemed to evoke some past experiences, the two of them stopped their movements together and froze stiffly...... Fu Qinghai slowly straightened up, and the Spirit Clan woman stopped struggling.

Fu Qinghai took off his helmet, revealed his face, looked at the howling banshee who was pressed under him, frowned and asked:

"Sarah? Saramande Uslan? ”

"Aoyama? Are you Aoyama? ”

The spirit girl lying on her back on the ground, with her beautiful eyes open, stared blankly at the space soldier in front of her, and asked in a lost voice.

"Plop, hula, lala......"

The sound of flapping wings in the air sounded densely overhead.

A large group of pterosaurus cavalry surrounded the canopy of the forest, and the barbarian warriors rode on top of the leather dragon saddle, holding laser spears in their hands, circling around the two of them, and the wings of the pterosaurs constantly fluttered to obscure the already small amount of light.

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

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

"Boom ......"

The sound of a low, roaring engine could be heard from beyond the distant skyline, and Jostar, Satfarran, and Karamanda were riding on jet bikes, followed by a dense group of motorcycle cavalry, flying towards this direction.
