Chapter 42: Welcome to the Nest
While the new Cato has been established and most of the people have their own work to do, there will never be a shortage of bounty hunters in the nest.
Through their previous performance in the war, the bounty hunter group was rewarded by Qin Mo, that is, they could still move around as bounty hunters, but what they obtained in their actions had to be handed over.
Items you turn in will be turned into Throne Coins, which can be used to buy more food or weapons.
Seven hundred kilometers underground from New Kato, a squad of seven bounty hunters is fighting.
The warring parties are in a slender corridor.
The bounty hunter hides behind an energy shield and crossfires at the rebel aliens and psykers that keep creeping in the distance.
"Is the blaster warmed up?!"
"She's not called a blaster, she's called Rena."
"Okay, okay, is Rena warmed up?"
"Alright."
A bounty hunter with a multi-barreled heavy weapon squeezed to the front from the back of his companions, and when he aimed his "Rena" at the rebels, a bracket automatically extended from under the weapon to the ground.
After two seconds of rapid rotation of the barrel, a large number of bullets poured down to the other side of the tunnel.
Each bullet explodes on hit, scattering the aliens on the walls of the passage, occasionally with bone fragments or shrapnel flying in, but also being stopped by energy shields.
The aliens on the walls simply could not advance half a step under such fire.
But the main reason is that the body parts of the aliens are inflated, huge blisters are squeezed out from under the hard bone armor, and some aliens even have their hands and feet inflated, and they can only limp forward.
It's a group of weaklings, they're already dying, and the bounty hunters hastened their death.
"Dead ...... Dead ......" The rebel psionics limped to the front, blistered hands raised ready to release psionic energy.
"Yaoen!" When the captain shouted, a young man in tattered clothes rushed to the front from the back of the line, and he knew what to do without any more orders.
Yao Eun walked forward, and the others took cover as they pushed forward.
When everyone covered Yao En and approached within twenty meters of the psion, the psionic could not even maintain the psionic spells on his body, first his arms burst, and then his entire body quickly turned into liquid.
After the psyker died, the aliens screamed and burst into puddles of liquid.
"Run!"
"Hurry up, the battle with the rebels has already taken too much time!"
After the battle, all the bounty hunters did not rest or look for loot, and they ran forward through the passages, as if something terrifying was chasing them behind them.
After ten minutes of running, you can already see the end of the elongated passage.
At this point, Yao En couldn't help but turn around.
"Don't look back!"
Amid the captain's angry and worried roars, Yoon, who had already turned around, saw an alien.
It's a fat spider with a body covered in fluffy like steel thorns huddled together in the passage, but it's still moving fast.
And when he saw this spider, Yao'en's brain was shocked by horror and fear to the point of crashing, and he froze in place.
The rebels in the current nest are not the enemies of the bounty hunters, but the mutated creatures born from the contamination of the nest capital that has lasted for thousands of years.
"Leave him alone, run!"
"Hurry up!"
The captain roared and ran, leading the team closer and closer to the exit, and they could even see the light at the exit.
But the light was quickly blocked, as if someone had closed the door.
The "door" opened immediately, revealing not the light from outside the passage, but a huge dark green eye.
Fearful, terrifying, weird...... These sensations caused the bounty hunters to freeze in place, as if they were petrified.
The giant eye blinked, then moved up.
The massive mutated creature outside the passage had blocked its mouthparts at the exit, and the circles of fangs that extended into the throat were clearly visible.
But then a beam of light pierced the blocked mouthparts at the exit of the passage, and the intense energy even made the entire passage red.
A bounty hunter with an ancient thermostat silently turns on the refrigeration function.
After the beam pierced through the mutated creature's mouthparts, two men in Praetorian Power Armor made their way through the gaps in the beam, smashing fangs or other things in their path with their shotgun lasers in their hands.
Until the two men's feet stepped on the metal floor.
Some of the bounty hunters who had fought in the war recognized at a glance the emblems on the two Praetorian Guards' power armor, as well as the person who wore them.
It was Gray and Anruida.
The bounty hunters, all but Yaoen, scrambled down on Gray and then hid behind his Praetorian Power Armor.
Gray continued to walk with a blank face, passing in front of the frightened Yaoen, and after walking ten meters forward, he stared at the approaching mutant creature and turned on the gravity shield.
The passage is crushed and deformed by the gravity shield, and the mutated creatures are crushed by gravity.
Gray turned off the gravity shield, turned to look at the crowd and asked, "Why are there such big spiders in the bottom nest?" I see that thing out there has to be a building's size! ”
"There are ...... in ancient ruins and ruins Nothing surprising. ”
"We ...... We've even found female aliens in one of the ruins......"
The bounty hunters were about to cry with excitement and explained.
"Gray." Anrida walked up to Gray and said with a smile, "Welcome to the nest." ”
Gray nodded, suddenly remembering the stories he had read about bounty hunters as a child.
There are not only dangers in the nest, but also ancient technological relics or other valuable things.
It was only after seeing it with his own eyes that Gray realized why people in the nest liked the story of bounty hunters, but not many people wanted to be bounty hunters.
"I advise you not to come next time." Gray warns the group, then turns and walks over to Yaoen to pull him up.
But when he got close to Yaoen, Gray was disgusted, and in his eyes, Yaoen was a dirty person.
Despite his disgust, Gray pinched his nose and reached out to pull Yaoen up.
"Were you sent by God to save us?" Yao En asked in surprise.
"No, your wife brought us in." Gray nudged Yaoen, "Now go home and treat your wife to some goodies, because we wouldn't have been able to get there in time if she hadn't reported it in time." ”
"It doesn't matter, in my eyes you are still God's messengers." Yao En said with a smile.
Gray didn't like Yaoen, so he didn't say much, just turned around and walked towards the end of the passage.
As he got on the transport plane and left, Gray looked down at the giant spider the size of a building below, wondering how much scrap this thing had to eat in the bottom nest to grow like this?
In the passage, when the bounty hunters were also about to leave, Yao En stood at the exit in a daze and looked up at the transport plane in the sky, looking very excited.
