At the chaotic moment when Ricas was surrounded by zombie-like enemies, Jacob's voice suddenly sounded, and then he jumped down from a high place, followed by other warriors.
"There are gene stealers hiding! Kill them!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately opened fire and fired hot explosive bombs. At the same time, the surging plasma instantly tore the three leaders who were waving flags and shouting not far away into pieces. Another soldier used a heavy firearm to release blazing flames.
Devouring the enemies surrounding Ricas, it will not pose any threat to Ricas due to the lowered temperature.
Just a few seconds later, under the combined attack of intensive firepower, this group of heretics contaminated by alien genes were beaten until they were howling like ghosts. Their homes also burned, with ashes and debris flying everywhere.
"Ricas, are you okay?"
It wasn't until Jacob came to his side that Ricas came back to his senses. After seeing the deformed "char" on the chain saw, his hand shook and he fell to the ground.
"No...it's okay. I've dealt with the bundle-bearing insect, but here..."
"I saw the corpse, okay, I actually killed one single-handedly."
Jacob smiled and punched Licas's chest. In the past, he would have been very happy to be praised, but now his heart was a little blocked. The young face that was crying in the blood spatter just now seemed to be imprinted on
It was lingering in his mind.
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with Ricas' mood, Jacob grabbed his shoulder.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing, I just didn't expect... there would be a gene stealer here."
"Yes, I was also shocked. There was a gene stealer under this city. I don't know when they sneaked in, but judging from the scale... I'm afraid it's been some time."
Westeros 5 had been invaded by the Tyranid before, but it was not on a large scale. At that time, the main force of the Tyranids was concentrated on Westeros 3 and 4, and the landing troops were quickly wiped out. However,
It seems that it has not been completely wiped out.
"According to the activity pattern of gene stealers, there are a few found here, and there may be a large group elsewhere. We must go back and report to the company commander immediately to clean up this place... Otherwise, these small troubles will soon turn into big troubles, or in other words, they have already
It’s big trouble.”
With that said, Jacob patted Licas on the shoulder, then held the power sword and started the final cleaning work.
"Leave no one alive, kill everyone who can breathe, and light everything that can be set on fire."
With a sword, he split open the head of a woman who was kneeling on the ground wailing because her leg was broken. Jacob raised his pistol again and shot to death those who were running away with their backs turned to him.
Fire, blood flowers, screams, collapse...
Ricas also joined the cleaning process. Within half an hour, they confirmed that there were no living creatures at the scene, but it was hard to say whether any of them had escaped because there were many holes in the rock wall.
Afterwards, the team returned to the ground with the bodies of the bundle worms and some gene stealers, and located in the command post in the center of the city, where Bahram directed the city's defense operations.
When he saw the gene stealers, Bahram was surprised and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
There is no doubt that Tyran has changed its strategy. This time it is obviously an internal and external attack. What is worse is that the underground area has complex terrain and poor security. It is very easy to become a breeding ground for gene stealers, even if it takes a short time to transform.
Hybrids and purebloods, but under the influence of many temptations such as food and faith, as well as powerful genetic viruses, normal people will also become puppets of the gene stealer sect.
Not long after Jacob's team discovered that the Genestealer Sect had infiltrated into the underground city, bad news reached the command post. A heretical cult called the Beggar Sect set off a large-scale riot. Their size ranged from 100,000 to 100,000 people.
Between half a million, but no one knows the real number. They shouted the slogan "Believe in the emperor and you will live, worship false gods and you will die." They attacked underground guard stations and security stations, killed militiamen and security guards, and robbed
We have obtained weapons and food, and continue to coerce those who choose to take risks because of hunger.
Probably due to its own lack of strength due to the short penetration time, this gene stealer sect does not have a large-scale spiritual network and adopts the structure of a normal human society. Their method of maintaining subordinates is to incite and coerce them, and distribute them regardless of the cost.
Food is like locusts wherever they go, and those who have been robbed of food have no choice but to join them in order to survive.
The long-term shortage of supplies has made many people full of resentment, and the completely different treatment in the two urban areas above and below ground has made them even more angry. Especially under this situation, many upper-class people still maintain a luxurious life, and even send people to
Servants come down to buy beautiful girls, and a girl is only worth three loaves of bread! The Space Marines only focus on war, which makes them feel abandoned. Most of them are refugees from the other two planets, and some
Originally they were still in the middle or even the upper echelon, but the Tyrannic invasion caused them to lose their home, their relatives, and even their dignity. When this fire was lit, it immediately exploded like a damaged fuel tank, even those who did not belong to this sect.
The group also started to cause trouble.
With just such a method, in less than six hours, the whole lower part of Shili City was already filled with flames of war.
Bahram, one of the first two, immediately deployed troops to suppress it, but the terrain at the lower level was complex, which would not only be difficult to deal with in a short while, but also require a very large number of troops.
The worst thing is that the commotion in the city was noticed by the Tyranids, or the genestealers sent a signal, in any case, they immediately began to launch a large-scale attack.
In addition to a large number of Tyranid creatures participating in the attack, there were also three huge insect saints. They were walking steadily towards the smoke-filled city with world-destroying steps. Above them were Tyranid gargoyles as dense as dark clouds.
He Tianwu, after suffering several losses of the biological Titan being annihilated by human air power, the Hive Mind also learned its lesson and gathered a large number of flying creatures above the Insect Saint, guarding the giant beast inseparably until it completed its mission.
.
Faced with this extreme situation, Bahram knew that, so on the one hand, he optimized his troops again, transferred part of the auxiliary army underground, and mobilized most of the militiamen. In a dark and complex environment, the lack of training of the militiamen could not do much.
Effect, while they were on the ground, under the supervision and encouragement of the Space Marines, they could at least fill in the front line. On the other hand, he called for reinforcements from the knight families in the defense area.
The last step was to summon a reinforcement force that would not be used until the last moment. He was shocked when he knew there was such a reinforcement force, but he remembered Soshyan's instructions very clearly and tried not to use them unless absolutely necessary.
, because those powers are too precious.
Soon, on the distant plain, some towering figures slowly appeared...
