Chapter 950: An Unexpected Encounter
For Duanmu Huai, this scene is too familiar.
With the crash of metal pipes and the sound of footsteps, monsters with alien-shaped heads and four arms jumped down from all directions. They opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and let out blasphemous roars and curses——— they were the Gene Stealers, one of the world's most deserved aliens.
The Genestealer is one of the units of the infamous Tyranid and the player's most troublesome and annoying infiltration unit, really because of the ......... This group of things is really pervasive.
Moreover, they are extremely good at camouflage, and can even spend hundreds of years of work to gradually disperse into the crowd.
The existence of genestealers is very peculiar, first of all, they appear as bugs, and they are also the original primitive racial form. These bugs then take advantage of the darkness of the night to penetrate into human cities, capture human females, and perform "death kisses" on them——— well, for the simple reason that the tongue of the gene stealer is the oviduct.
That is, in the real sense of "kissing and getting pregnant".
The first generation of genetic stealers born to pregnant human females is the first generation of gene stealers, and although most of this generation of gene stealers are still in the form of bugs, they have gradually taken on a human-like appearance.
Then let the first generation capture the human woman, perform the "death kiss" again, give birth to the second generation, the third generation——— and wait until the fourth generation, the offspring of the gene stealer are almost indistinguishable from humans, only the pale skin and bald head and the occasional sharp teeth can barely show their true bodies.
And then things get really scary.
Fourth-generation genestealers can easily infiltrate any sector of humanity and then rebel completely. In addition to a large number of genestealers who mimic the exact same as humans, genestealers will also evolve a variety of lords and elite units, and even the well-trained Astarte team will inevitably be wiped out.
After all, it's really hard to tell if it's an alien or a human who is asking for help.
Of course, if you want to say it——— gene stealers belong to the kind of rats that everyone shouts and beats when they cross the street, and even the cult of evil gods will not let them go.
The reason is simple, the Gene Stealers are part of the Tyranid swarm, and perhaps after a long period of multiplication, they have forgotten where they came from, but the swarm's spiritual network is still with them. This makes the first thing all genestealers do after awakening is to find a way to contact the swarm and summon the Tyranid swarm to their world, and in the hearts of the genestealers, this is where they end up.
Well, and then it was eaten by the swarm that came down.
Because of this, the cult of the Genestealer believes in the Terra Swarm, not the Chaos God, and the Chaos God cannot get the power they want from the Gene Stealer——— the purpose of the Tyranid Swarm is to eat everything and not let you go. And for the Chaos Evil God, only if life exists, they can obtain enough soul nutrients, and they are all eaten up by you, so we must not starve to death?
Therefore, the Tyranid Swarm and the Chaos Evil God are also inherently incompatible.
Of course, if it falls into the hands of the player, since it is not certain whether there is one or a million genestealers on the planet, the best thing to do is to directly issue an extinction order.
After all, you can't be sure if any of the refugees who escaped were genestealers or not. What if someone goes to another planet and starts spreading the kiss of death everywhere?
In Duanmuhuai's opinion, if there are gene stealers in the space waste ship in front of him, then the reason for the destruction of this battleship is very clear. It is clear that the lower level of this battleship has already been infiltrated and replaced by gene stealers——— a Moon-class battleship is equipped with about 100,000 crew members as standard, most of whom are lower class crews. And the average captain and senior officer will not care about the slave labor under the battleship, so once the entire lower crew is replaced with a gene stealer, and then rebels, then the battleship will directly turn over.
Looking at the unfortunate appearance of this battleship, it is not possible that while crossing the subspace, the genestealers rioted, attacked the commander and senior officers of the ship, and then ——— and then caught blind.
The Tyranid swarm is still very awesome in the real world, but people don't enter the subspace.
So these gene stealers are equivalent to turning around and finding that they can't contact their parents, and then they can only drift in subspace with this scrap ship pitifully.
After all, the evil gods don't want this thing like a gene stealer.
And the reason why Duanmu Huai is certain is because these gene stealers have now produced atavistic characteristics, which means that this group of half-breeds has nowhere to find humans, so they can only breed with mixed blood and then create pure-blooded gene stealers............
Forget it, anyway, just kill it!
Duanmu Huai raised the war hammer, the thunder was wound and exploded on the war hammer, and then smashed it hard, only to see that at the moment when Duanmu Huai smashed the war hammer, the lightning scattered, turning into countless light snakes that almost illuminated the entire factory. And the thunder and lightning were like poisonous snakes, biting towards the genestealers who pounced on them from all directions. But whenever it was touched by the thunder and lightning, it instantly turned into a pile of coke.
As always, O'Gis sat firmly on Duanmu Huai's shoulders and spread her hands, invisible threads forming an impregnable protective barrier that would cut any genestealer into pieces like ham.
On the other side, Mary and Medea were purely playing soy sauce, and they had nothing to do after the roaring thunder bombardment of Duanmu Huai, so they could only shoot a shot or send a few beams to show their presence.
I saw that the gene stealer kept rushing forward, being crushed, pounced again, crushed, and ............... again
The entire battleship fell silent again.
"What's wrong?"
Mary held the gun in her hand and looked around suspiciously, just now there was still lightning and thunder, and the monsters continued, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?
"When I saw the idea, I retreated and thought of other ways."
Duanmu Huai sneered, although the gene stealer is a bug, but it is a bug that can think, people not only think, but even set traps to lure the enemy deeper, and then use the advantage of strength to break each one.
Of course, all tricks are meaningless in the face of absolute power.
But since there's a chicken thief here......... Well.........
Duanmu Huai thought about it for a moment, and then contacted Akot.
"Akot, destroy the second half of this ship and keep the first half."
"Yes, uncle."
“———————!”
Soon, the sound of intense artillery fire rang out, and the entire space hulk began to tremble slightly, on the contrary, Duanmu Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a good thing that there is no mechanic oil guy here, otherwise it would be a real trouble."
"Oil guy?"
"A group of garbage pickers, who want to pick up everything they see."
In the game, the Inquisitor, represented by the player, and the Oil Guy of the Cult of the Mechanicus often clashed, many times because of similar things.
As the Inquisitor, the player receives a message that a desecrated space wreck has appeared in the territory and asks what to do about it.
And then what? For players, it must have blown you up with a single shot!
However, the oil guy is unwilling, according to the people, these space wrecks may contain some sacred relics of Omnisaiah, and they must go on board to investigate. If you don't let me go, we won't play with you in the future!"
This makes the player very unhappy, and the result is that they have to go into the space hulk together, and then encounter a bunch of strange things, and then ——— if you are lucky, you can come back, and if you are unlucky, you will be wiped out.
So the player is the most annoying oil guy, originally Lao Tzu solved a thousand worries with one shot, you have to make it more difficult for me!
After all, no one knows what is in the space shipwreck, gene stealers, mutants who believe in evil gods, unknown subspace creatures, and chaos demons.........
If there was an oil guy here, he would definitely stop Duanmu Huai's blasphemous act of destroying the precious treasures of the space scrap ship, but unfortunately Duanmu Huai didn't have an oil guy under him, so no one could say anything to him. Besides, if you want to take the acacia as an example, the real treasure can't be blown up even if it is a macro cannon, and it can be blown to pieces casually, where is it a treasure?
If you want him to say that this is how to deal with the space hulk ship, just blow the other party to pieces, and then find out if there is anything floating in the starry sky. If it survives, it must be a good thing.
"Alright, let's move on."
With most of the space hulk ship blown up, the original microgravity is gradually disappearing, I don't know if it was because Arcot's shelling destroyed the reactor or hit the gravity generator, and the gravity in the battleship is gradually declining at this time. Duanmu Huai turned on the magnetic device and walked in the passage step by step.
Then he saw a faint light in the passage next to him.
Maybe they're hiding here?
Just as Duanmu Huai was about to turn around, suddenly, Mary spoke.
"Mr. Duanmu? What are you doing? ”
"I'm going to take a look at the fork in the road over here."
"A fork in the road?"
Mary stuck her head out and looked ahead.
"There is no fork in the road here, Mr. Duanmu, there is only one road ahead."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he looked again——— sure enough, there was only a cold steel wall over there just now, and there was no intersection at all.
“…………… Well, it looks like you're still going to have to show the way. ”
In the ruined space ship, illusions are everywhere, every steel plate here, every space here is impregnated with the evil and curse of subspace, to use an analogy, it is like this battleship once fell into nuclear sewage, there is no clean place on the body, everywhere is emitting radiation.
Luckily, Mary was there.
In the eyes of Duanmuhuai, Aujisi and others, the passage of this ship seems to be changing all the time, one second it is still a staircase, and the next second it becomes a fork in the road. But under the gaze of Mary's golden eyes, none of these visions seemed to exist, and they walked forward, all the way forward, and then to the end of the hallway.
There is only one open elevator door, and of course there is no elevator inside. But Duanmu Huai didn't care about this, he stepped into it, just walked on the wall, and then continued upward——— and then, Duanmu Huai suddenly stopped.
He looked at the ornith, then gestured to Mary and Ogis, nodded to Medea, and silently shifted his direction to aim at a nearby wall. The bird chart showed that there was a life signal response behind this wall, and there was more than one.
Duanmu Huai clenched his fist, pointed at the wall, and then swung hard!
"Boom!!"
The iron wall exploded in response, and Duanmu Huai strode in, and then only a few gunshots were heard, and then the bullet hit Duanmu Huai's armor and bounced away, and then, a familiar voice sounded.
"Hey, stop, stop! It's your own people! ”
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and fanned the dust in front of him, only to see that Shepard's younger brother was standing behind several boxes with a sniper rifle, which seemed to be a warehouse, and behind the other boxes, there were several Star Alliance soldiers hidden. It looks like they've made this their temporary base.
"Your Excellency, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Your sister called me, and it seems that your caution saved you."
"It's not just about being cautious, we've actually got a helper."
"Helper?"
Duanmu Huai frowned, and Brother Shepard nodded, then beckoned to the side. Then, Duanmu Huai saw a woman with pointed ears wearing black armor, a slender body, slender hands and feet, and a shoehorn-like face, walking out from the side.
And the moment he saw it, Duanmu Huai clenched the war hammer in his hand. At the same time, after seeing the eagle and skull symbol on Duanmu Huai's chest, the woman was also stunned.
"Cheap heretical!"
Duanmu Huai roared and raised his hammer and smashed it towards the woman, who was faster, only to see it hide behind Shepard's brother almost in a dodge, and at the same time took out a dagger and pointed it against Shepard's brother's throat.
For a moment, both sides stopped.
