Most of Vitria's hive cities have gone through several rounds of expansion.
New buildings were erected on the ruins of old ones.
This formed a complex network of underground tunnels.
Calgar's mission on this trip is to clean out the gene stealers hiding in the dark.
Make sure these damn xenos don't interfere with the coming war.
When we reached the entrance of a dim underground tunnel.
A warning sound came from everyone's helmet.
The auspicious device built into the Terminator armor detected a large number of biological signals and was approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
Without further explanation, everyone understood what these signals were.
Strange roars continued to be heard in the darkness.
After a while, those hideous monsters appeared.
Like a tide, it rushed towards Calgar and others madly.
"Prepare for battle, don't let those bastards separate us." Karga shouted.
All the Primaris Space Marines raised their weapons.
When the first signal source rushed into the range of the grenade launcher.
They opened fire in tacit understanding according to their usual training, forming an interwoven fire network.
The intense firepower instantly tore apart the genetic mutant's body covered with biological shell.
The huge power of the bomb caused the entire tunnel to shake.
Dust fell down.
Countless body parts and corpses were scattered all over the ground, making it look like the hell.
"Enemy, enemy." A masked cultist shouted.
He carried a flamethrower on his back, and the giant element fuel gushed out from the high-pressure tank. It was ignited when passing through the muzzle, forming a series of fire dragons.
"Damn traitor." Calgar roared, raising the grenade launcher in his hand.
Rely on precise combat intuition to lock the opponent's head.
Bang!
With a sound, the opponent's head exploded.
The out-of-control flamethrower spewed out high-temperature huge fuel, causing an explosion on the spot.
Whole groups of cultists and monsters were burned to ashes, emitting a foul smell.
However, there were so many monsters.
Those genetic hybrids wielded sharp limbs, or held flamethrowers and various strange monsters, and at all costs, rushed through the dense firepower and charged at Calgar and others.
When one genetic variant falls, more will rush up.
Monsters rushed towards Calgar's team from dim paths and other passages.
Karga and others had to use more fierce firepower to suppress those guys.
Countless genetic mutants were knocked down by bombs during the charge, and their broken bodies were then stepped over by their companions.
Those genetic mutants who were lucky enough to get closer were either killed by the chainsword or smashed to pieces by Calgar's gauntlets.
“We have to find that node creature, otherwise it will be endless.” Karga said in a serious tone.
Calgar has experienced countless battles with the Zerg, and he is well aware of the horror and weaknesses of this race.
They are fearless and have no concept of fear at all.
Driven by the will of the hive, the Tyranids are fearless and will crush all enemies.
Without the Hive Mind, the Tyranids are not much different from other beasts and will only act according to their own instincts.
The Hive Mind cannot cover the entire universe.
It also requires node creatures to maintain control over the Zerg.
A single node creature can transform the scattered Tyranids into a disciplined force that is not afraid of sacrifice.
This is what makes the Tyranids truly terrifying.
The Zerg Hive will not hesitate to make 100 times the sacrifice in exchange for enemy casualties without even blinking an eye.
The Tyranids never fear death.
Because the ultimate fate of the corpses on the battlefield is to become the raw materials in their digestion pool.
This is true whether we are enemies or friends.
However, this advantage of node creatures is also the weakness of the Tyranids.
As long as the node creatures are killed, the control of the Hive Mind over the Tyranids can be easily weakened.
The Tyranids will lose their fearlessness and ferocity.
As long as the node creatures die, the Tyranids will be lambs to be slaughtered.
Karga and others fought all the way, trying to find the node creatures.
However, the number of enemies was too great.
Their ammunition was rapidly being consumed.
The bolter is heavy and powerful, but it has a limited ammunition capacity.
After firing a wave at the enemy.
The bolt gun's ammunition count quickly dropped to zero.
Calgar replaced the spare magazine and handed the other one to the accompanying ammunition machine slave.
To cope with the situation here, the ammunition slaves dragged heavy ammunition supply boxes.
Ammunition machine slaves are specially used to carry various equipment.
It is used to help Space Marines replace their guns at any time and is a helper on the battlefield.
Even without the grenade launcher, Calgar showed no fear when facing the Zerg.
He smashed the head of a genestealer that tried to pounce on him into pieces with one punch.
Then, it caught another genetic mutant and tore it to pieces alive.
The crisp sound of bones cracking gives people a creepy feeling.
After tearing apart several genetic mutants and gene stealers with his bare hands, Calgar took the loaded grenade launcher from the machine slave.
Pull the trigger again and start firing forward.
The whistling bombs easily tore apart the Genestealer covered with biomass shells.
Those mutants armed with flamethrowers and laser guns also rushed forward shouting various slogans, and were then crushed by the Primaris Space Marines.
We experienced a shocking and extremely dangerous battle.
A large number of genetic mutants and gene stealer corpses were dumped in the underground tunnels.
The corpses were torn into pieces and blood gushed out, gathering in the low-lying areas and quickly filling them up.
The battle ended briefly.
Many soldiers continued to shoot at the enemies who were still moving and dragged out the injured comrades.
A veteran wearing Terminator power armor was also knocked down.
When his companions pulled him out from the pile of corpses, he had already lost one leg.
The wound had already solidified, and the torn power armor continued to crackle and emit sparks.
"I'm sorry, sir." The old soldier looked distressed because of his broken leg and his inability to continue fighting. "I'm holding you back."
"Don't say that. You have tried your best and you are worthy of your mission. If the Primarch were here, he would even reward you." Calgar looked at the old soldier and said, "Now, go back and find a healer to treat your leg."
"Do not refuse this order. This is not cowardice or running away. A bigger battle awaits us. We have a great mission. You must not die here. I need every bit of strength to help me resist the Zerg wave and hold on until the Primarch arrives."
Calgar ordered the veteran and several other injured companions to leave the battle and return to the ground for treatment.
He then rushed deeper into the tunnel with his remaining brothers.
Go find that node creature and kill it.
Without the node creatures, the cultists and Zerg would become confused and unable to resist.
The rebellion was naturally ended.
The deeper Calgar's team went, the greater the resistance they encountered.
The number of corrupted and twisted Zerg monsters is increasing.
The biological limbs they evolved are extremely sharp and can easily tear apart anything.
Even the Terminator armor was cut into pieces by the Genestealers as if it were made of paper.
After several comrades sacrificed their lives, Calgar and his team entered the depths of the tunnel.
It was a huge, abandoned factory.
With the continuous reconstruction of the hive city, many old buildings were buried underneath and became forbidden areas that no one cared about.
The factories here were also abandoned by the nobles.
A lot of equipment was forgotten here.
The genestealers set it moving again, making a rumbling sound.
They produced weapons and various equipment in a planned manner.
The number was so huge that even Karga was frightened when he saw it.
Once a battle breaks out with the Zerg, these hidden gene stealers will launch various uprisings, which will inevitably bring disastrous consequences and cause the total collapse of the empire.
By then, let alone resisting the Zerg, he would probably have to die here.
Calgar and the others, feeling relieved, ordered the soldiers to open fire and eliminate those hateful monsters without hesitation.
Destroy all weapons and equipment produced by the aliens.
The sounds of fierce fighting echoed in the long-abandoned factory.
A large number of genetic mutants fell, and the production line that the aliens had repaired with great difficulty was blown to pieces.
If Calgar looked closely at these mutants, he would also see a detective mentioned in Anna's report - Shuke.
His body has undergone tremendous changes, and he has grown two strange limbs.
Having become a genetic mutant, Shuke still retains his memories, but he has developed an unimaginable disgust towards the Human Empire and humans.
How dare such a crude and barbaric race resist the great enlightened one
That damn Corpse King distorted human cognition, making it impossible for them to glimpse the true future.
These guys are all human sinners, and preventing humans from merging with the enlightened is a terrible and unforgivable crime.
He let out a hissing sound.
We must kill these sinners so that humanity can embrace the great enlightened ones and move towards supreme evolution.
Shuke brandished his claws, let out a series of low roars, and rushed forward like many genetic mutants.
Bang!
A bomb exploded, blowing the head of the genestealer in front apart.
Shuke and several other monsters were also blown to pieces by the huge impact force.
With the final roar.
The poor detective met his end.
Calga, who had no idea and didn't know who he was, stepped forward and crushed his head with his heavy steel boots.
As the team attempts to sabotage the factory.
A rumbling sound was heard.
It seemed as if some terrible beast had awakened in the darkness.
The ground was shaking slightly with the sound.
It seemed as if some terrifying ancient beast had awakened from its endless slumber.
A ten-meter-tall Genestealer with a thick biological shell walked out of the darkness and roared towards the sky.
The extreme malice in his eyes was difficult to conceal.
Calgar's face was solemn. It seemed that this gene stealer was the source of the corruption of the Vitria galaxy.
Gene stealers sneak into a planet through various means, and once they enter, they will inject their distorted genetic spirals into the bodies of those humans, distorting their minds and making them obey them.
Subsequently, these corrupted men and women would continue to reproduce, forming a social structure centered on the Genestealer.
The first to fourth generations of Genestealers all have obvious Zerg characteristics, but the fifth generation is exactly the same as humans except for the bald head.
At this time, they will infiltrate the human world.
Gradually gaining high-level positions, corrupting humanity step by step and undermining human resistance.
The original pure-blooded genestealer would grow larger and smarter as the race expanded.
Eventually, it will far surpass other of its kind in strength, size and intelligence, becoming a powerful psychic creature and will also be called the patriarch.
The Genestealer in front of Calgar is the Patriarch, the source of corruption of many Zerg and cultists in Vitria.
Following the patriarch was a group of genetic mutants.
These deformed forms brandished their biological weapons and let out crazy shouts.
"Kill." Calgar did not hesitate to deal with this gene stealer and put an end to the rebellion once and for all.
Other warriors rushed forward, chainswords flying.
In an instant, countless debris flew everywhere.
Extremely cruel.
