Chapter 62: The Belly of the Beast

As Horus locates the Blade Queen, a squad of Space Marines is navigating the Worm Tunnel, wearing upgraded Terminator armor and heading towards key positions in the Worm Tunnel.

The team, which is close to thirty people, is led by Shablan, the war dog, and their mission is simple: find the low-lying location of the worm tunnel and install a hot molten bomb group, and then snap and crash, and the magma under Char will take the place of the warriors to solve the problem of the tunnel worms that are constantly popping up on the ground.

Shablan is advancing in the tunnels with a power axe in one hand and an ion pistol in the other, he doesn't like the environment in the tunnels very much, this place is too narrow for the space marines, once they collide with the swarm inside, it will inevitably be carried out, this is not a conducive environment for engagement, although the space marines are strong, but they can still be killed by thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, and this is the home of the swarm, one will be ambushed if you are not careful.

Before the Space Marines entered the tunnels, General Warfield of the Tyranid Empire had sent several special forces into the tunnels, but now that they had lost contact, they were probably finished.

Stepping on the slimy fungus blanket made Shabran very uncomfortable, and he wanted to burn the stuff directly, but that would only waste promethium.

As he hurled forward, the miniature orniths integrated into the armor suddenly alarmed, and looking at the large array of red dots on the screen of the armarm, Shablan raised the power axe and put the team into combat mode.

With a roar, piles of bugs burst out of a hole covered in a blanket of mushrooms, and several stinging snakes spewed bone spurs at Shablan, but the individual ion shield directly bounced through the ultra-high-velocity bone spurs that could shoot through the CMC's armor.

Shablan raised his ion pistol and evaporated the cockroach's head with one shot, "Fire freely and finish this bug." ”

A terminator armed with an automatic cannon stabilized his body, and then pulled the trigger of the automatic cannon, and with a bang, the cannonball exploded in the swarm, and a large number of fragments directly tore through the flesh of the "weak" jumping worm.

The rain of death from the Storm Blaster and Assault Gun "filtered" most of the insects like a filter, and the few jumping worms were beaten into flesh by the power punch or impaled by the power sword as soon as they rushed in front of the Terminators.

"Advance, for the Emperor!" Shabran led the warrior in a counter-charge towards the swarm, his power axe and thunderhammer raised high across the swarm of biters, causing the bugs to retreat until they reached the entrance of the cave.

The Terminator with a heavy flame gun quickly approached the entrance of the cave, and the promethium flames of thousands of degrees Celsius instantly ignited the entire branch cavern, and after a terrible roar and wail, the tunnel returned to calm.

The smell of promethium and burnt fire filled the air, and the large number of dead corpses of bugs covered the entire cavern, all of which kept the warriors' mood unchanged.

Forward, that's the only thought in their minds.

After two waves of interceptions through several branch caves and killing the bugs, Shablan entered an extremely spacious area where the bombs were planted.

But now Shablan's face is ugly, because there is a thunder beast in addition to the ordinary bugs, and this kind of big man is quite difficult to deal with without heavy armor, fortunately the bugs here have not yet discovered them.

"Prepare for fire suppression, prepare for heavy weapons groups." In order to deal with the thick-skinned thunderbeasts, Shablan gathered all the warriors equipped with special weapons, and in the face of the thunderbeasts, simple explosive bombs and assault guns were not enough, only plasma cannons and multi-tube hot melts could penetrate the hard chitin carapace and cause damage to the thunderbeasts.

"Fire" After the preparation was completed, Shablan immediately asked the warrior who was using the explosive bomb to fire, and the continuous burst of explosive bombs hit the thunderbeast's head.

The alarmed thunderbeast rushed towards the firing terminator with a roar that shook the entire cavern, but the deuterium warhead's detonation shot left its head riddled with holes, and the powerful aftereffects had damaged its eyes and visual nervous system.

With a wave of Shablan's hand, the heavy weapons team immediately fired a volley, the entire cave illuminated by blazing plasma and orange-red heat energy waves, the air in the cave distorted by high temperatures, this terrible heat flow smashed into the thunder beast's body, and in an instant, a whole piece of its body was carbonized, and even a small part was evaporated by the high temperature.

But the Thunderbeast was still alive, and its active flesh had been backed up with multiple organs to survive such a terrible attack, and the Thunderbeast struggled to continue charging at the Terminator who attacked him.

But Shabran stood in front of him, and with a few bangs, the ion pistol fired at the thunderbeast continuously, and the small blue plasma mass burned the thunderbeast again but could not stop it, leaving the ion pistol that had burned red, Shabran rushed towards the thunderbeast.

With the fire of his comrades, Shabulan rushed to the thunderbeast, and the huge monomolecular giant blade swung at him, and with his powerful dynamic vision and sensitive reflexes, Shabulan dodged the blow, and then the jet vent behind him pushed him high, and then slashed at the thunderbeast's body with an axe.

The disintegration stance is not something that the chitin carapace can resist, the blue arc light tears open the carapace to reveal the internal muscles of the thunderbeast, and while the power axe is still deep into the thunderbeast's flesh, Shabulan shoves a hot melt bomb into the thunderbeast's wound.

He then pulled out his power axe and jumped off the thunderbeast's body, and the reckless thunderbeast's charge was dodged by the terminators, and the blinded thunderbeast crashed directly into the wall.

After retreating to a safe distance, Shabran detonated the molten bomb without hesitation, and the high temperature generated by the subatomic reaction ignited everything around it, and the thunderbeast that had once again suffered the molten attack finally couldn't support it and fell.

After clearing out the other bugs in the nearby defenses, Shablan took the ion pistol he had just dropped from the Battle Brothers, and walked to the center of the cavern, which was the closest to the lava.

"Tech Sergeant, get the hot melt bomb pack ready, we need to deploy it as soon as possible."

Wearing Martian red armor and a mechanical arm mounted on the back, the technical sergeant cannon came over and immediately began his work, and after a bit of tinkering, a huge hot melt bomb package was installed here.

"It's done, Grand Mentor." After confirming the completion of the bomb installation, the technical sergeant said to Shablan.

"Alright, warriors, let's get out of here! Prepare for delivery. ”

After a burst of white light, all the Terminators in the cavern vanished, leaving only corpses in the spot.

The swarm that rushed over to reinforce didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and the hot melt bomb package exploded, and the violent explosion directly opened the cave, and a large amount of magma poured into the insect path, and the tunnel insects near here were all finished, even the insect swarm could not survive in the magma.

All three important nodes of the Heavy Passage were blown up, and the magma spread in the worm tunnels in the nearby area, and now the tunnel worms can no longer harass the human defensive positions.
