After regaining his sight, Soshyan saw that the winding corridor led to a wide depression surrounded by stone walls.
The depression was overlooking a slope leading to a large area of ruins. Standing here, he could actually hear heavy knocking sounds, with a steady rhythm, resounding throughout the entire area.
"What is this place? It looks like a factory."
The slope was steep and slippery, but it was nothing to Soshyan. The Terminator's gyroscope allowed him to keep his footing balanced, and it was nothing to the Eldar girl.
The road around the ruins was wide and empty. Soshyan felt that he was being exposed in the wilderness. This feeling was not good, so he quickened his pace.
The two quickly rushed across the depression, past the first factory building, and into the ruins.
The rhythmic knocking sound came from this triangular building. After entering, Soshyan couldn't believe what he saw - thousands of mechanical structures were placed here, and there were reciprocating machines everywhere.
The engine and the small rotating turbine drive the lever in a certain way, causing the drum hammer to beat the cylinders of various sizes.
"This is an automatic production line..."
Although he was not a technical sergeant, Soshyan could still tell that this was some kind of weapons production assembly line, but due to the loss of raw materials, all the machinery was just idling.
But if you think that this is a device from 10,000 years ago, it is very shocking.
How do they operate for 10,000 years without anyone maintaining them?
"No, it's impossible...these factories."
After further inspection, Soshyan found that there were five or six such factories, and they were all filled with such knocking sounds.
Thousands and tens of thousands of machines of all kinds and sizes made a sound like a deformed heart beating wildly.
"This place is weird, be careful."
Hearing Soshyan's reminder, Veronica nodded, and the two of them covered each other and entered the next door.
At this time, a rapid tone came, and at that moment, all the percussion sounds seemed to merge into a whole, and a drum beat was issued uniformly.
"careful!"
Seemingly sensing something, Veronica quickly put up a psychic shield.
The next moment, tongues of fire like spears roared from the front, and after being blocked by the psychic shield, they licked wantonly in all directions, spreading out like an arc of inferno.
The flames then ignited a support column in the room, and then spun back like a whip. The machines twitched in the flames, and the out-of-control mechanical arms swung wildly.
"Is it a trap?"
"no."
Veronica shook her head, looking serious.
"It's the enemy."
The flames even burned through the wall on one side of the ruins. Just as the wall collapsed, Soshyan quickly dragged Veronica to escape.
White-hot fire engulfed the door of the factory building, blew open the roof in front, and large tumbling stones fell. In order to avoid being harmed by the explosion, Soshyan could only protect the Eldar with his body.
Although the tapping sound is still there, it is still chaotic and confusing, making it difficult to concentrate.
But Veronica still noticed something that Soshyan didn't notice, and she knew exactly what she saw.
"right!"
A laser struck, and Soshyan raised his arm to block his head. The laser burned a small pit on the arm armor.
After lowering his arms, Soshyan saw an abomination appearing in the blazing flames.
It is nearly 4 meters tall, like a huge and grotesque skull made of rusty steel and tubular flesh. Its head is extremely large, with the characteristics of a typical green-skinned totem. Oil, blood and other unknown liquids are constantly flowing from its body.
flow out of the body structure.
And it looks like it's still smiling, turning its head left and right, as if it's looking forward to a killing spree.
"this thing--"
After noticing the only two living things present, the monster raised its steel claws and howled into the sky.
WAAAAAAGH!!
After realizing that this was some kind of war machine from the Greenskins, Soshyan said to Veronica:
"You stay away."
The other party was not polite and immediately hid in the shadows and bunkers.
The monster's roar shook the ground, and Soshyan was not afraid and counterattacked with explosive shells.
Clusters of sparks exploded on the monster, splashing oil, but the thing gasped in ecstasy and grinned, revealing its steel teeth like a horse.
The monster then launched a charge, arrived in front of Soshyan in the blink of an eye, and then swung its steel claws straight at the opponent.
Soshyan ducked sideways, and the hook was only an arm's length away from him.
Then, he kicked out fiercely, directly kicking the elbow of the arm out of shape, but the monster's offensive did not decrease, swinging the other arm to attack.
"These things should be some kind of machinery."
Veronica was studying on the side, and suddenly she heard something.
She turned her head and found that four huge beasts had emerged from behind her. They were giant elephants fused with flesh and steel, more than two meters tall, with various cutting and welding machines roughly fixed on their terrifying bodies.
The muscular strength of these technological abominations disgusted her.
"Don't think I'm easy to bully."
Before the other party could take action, Veronica directly emptied a magazine of the shuriken pistol.
The high-speed sharp crystal shattered the armor and broke through the monster's abdomen, and thick organ fluid flowed out from under the curved armor plate.
The beast roared, losing the ability to move as its spine was broken.
The other pushed it aside and rushed forward like a bulldozer.
With her thoughts flowing, Veronica waved her arm lightly, and a ball of fire flew out, hitting the monster and burning it black.
The third one has also rushed forward.
Veronica took a step back, stretched out her palm and shook it violently. The running monster seemed to collapse from the inside in an instant, its flesh compressed into a head-sized ball, and it was shattered forever when it landed on the ground.
Concrete.
After cooking three of them, the last one was already close at hand.
This one went crazy due to the chemicals injected into its brain and struck Veronica with a giant claw.
The psychic girl ducked down and hit it in the abdomen with the magic sword. The blade immediately bit through the armor.
Although the skin and flesh were torn apart, the brainless thing didn't feel it. It knocked Veronica's sword away with a blow from its giant claw and threw her to the ground.
Then he shuffled forward and raised his giant claw.
"Don't think I'm easy to bully."
Soshyan had heard the movement behind him a long time ago. After evading the monster's pursuit again, he pulled out his plasma pistol and blew up the monster's head at a very close range.
The headless monster stood staggeringly and then fell into the ditch.
"ah--"
Just as Veronica closed her eyes subconsciously, she heard other voices.
She opened her eyes and saw the monster's knees trembling, and then it fell heavily to its side, and its huge head slipped from the terrifying saw-notch on its neck.
Soshiyang stood in front of her, oil and blood still clinging to Fentian's blade.
"Next time something happens, remember to ask for help."
"I-I'm fine!"
Veronica, who was a little angry, waved her magic sword and kept sending psychic blades towards the fallen monster.
After a while, the monster, which was like a sculpture made of flesh and steel, fell apart and turned into a pile of broken steel fragments and debris.
