Six Astartes recruits wearing black training uniforms and simple armors were looking around and observing.
Even if you don't look at the legion badges on the armor, just by looking at the fair skin and handsome faces of these six recruits, you can guess that their G glands come from the Blood Angels.
When the Blood Angels select G-gland adapters, they will deliberately select young men with excellent physical fitness and gentle and humble temperaments according to past records.
After completing the implantation surgery, these recruits will inherit all the advantages of Sui Bian and Sanguinius due to the influence of the G gland.
In fact, in terms of the difficulty of selecting adapters, the Blood Angels should be considered relatively loose among all legions. You must know that the trapped legion must be of Chinese descent and must have a surname of Sui.
Among these six recruits, three are equipped with .75cal bolt rifles, one is equipped with 1.0cal heavy bolters, and the last two are equipped with 100mm plasma cannons and deflagration cannons.
Judging from its configuration, it can definitely be regarded as a heavily equipped Astartes squad, more than enough to deal with an armored regiment of the Imperial Army.
Moreover, these six Blood Angel recruits all seemed to have inherited the "fear of insufficient firepower" from the Emperor of Mankind. Their only close-range weapons were old-fashioned chain swords, but each of them carried an ammunition box or energy box on their back.
Like Sui Yang and Sui Yue, they were initially confused as to why they were not teleported to the jungle of the prehistoric planet, but then quickly realized that this was a special trial arranged by their father.
The first thing now is to analyze where they are.
In just a moment, the six holy angels deduced from the angle of the sun that this should be the northern hemisphere of the earth. As for which continent it was, they had no idea yet.
But there is an obvious and dry coastline to the west, which shows that they are not inland.
And a holy angel slowly approached the coastline, then looked at the tranquil sea in the distance, and spoke his opinion in a deep voice:
"Brothers, why do I feel that the drying up of the coastline is not a natural phenomenon, but more like being drained by some force?"
"Well, I have a similar feeling."
"indeed."
All the brothers nodded in agreement.
"Brothers." Immediately afterwards, a holy angel with the words "Zerte Dante" engraved on his breastplate moved his left hand to the east and suggested:
"Now is not the time to discuss why the ocean has disappeared. We should go to that town to investigate first. Maybe we can meet the surviving human compatriots. This will help us understand what kind of changes this earth has suffered."
"good."
"Walk."
The group of people immediately determined the target, divided into three groups in pairs, kept a distance of nearly 20 meters from each other, and advanced quickly towards the town that could not be captured by ordinary people's vision.
It didn't take long.
Dante and the others followed the dry coastline, crossed nearly six kilometers of desert, and arrived at the edge of the town.
Just looking at the appearance and style, this town with the tallest building no more than ten floors has quite an Eastern European style, which indirectly helps to analyze that the continent they are on is most likely Europe.
However, there were no surviving compatriots here. On the contrary, with their keen hearing, they also noticed the faint sound of "roar...roar..." echoing in the town, like the low groan of an empty stomach or hunger.
Hearing this news, all the holy angels were on alert.
"Zerlin, Horn." Dante held the bolt rifle in his right hand, freed his left hand and swung it towards the west of the town. He called Zelin, and Horn ordered: "Please advance from the west, please."
“…”
The two brothers, who were equipped with bolt rifles and heavy bolters and seemed to be speechless, set off immediately without any objection.
"Baal, Finnis, I leave the east to you two," Dante said again.
"no problem."
"good."
The two brothers, who were still equipped with rifles and heavy weapons, nodded in response and moved forward on the east side.
"Yang Luo, you are traveling with me."
"Um."
Finally, Dante and Yang Luo, who was holding an explosive cannon, broke in from the front.
A few hundred meters flies by in an instant.
The two soon arrived at the first intersection on the periphery.
From the broken windows on both sides of the road, the bullet holes in the walls, and the numerous burn marks, it is not difficult to guess that a relatively fierce conflict should have broken out in this town six to eight months ago.
However, the two of them did not find any corpses. They might have been recovered or cleaned up.
Afterwards, Dante and Yang Luo continued to advance towards the church on the right front, which was also one of the sources of the unknown sound.
Walking to the ajar solid wood door...
"Bang!" kick.
Dante kicked the solid wooden door to pieces and rushed into the church first. Yang Luo, who was responsible for covering and providing fire suppression, followed closely behind.
Inside the church hall.
Long wooden tables were placed on both sides, as if this place had been used as a temporary shelter during the conflict a few months ago.
The source of the unknown sound was several "people" in ragged clothes and covered in dried blood, gathering under the cross at the front of the hall.
However, the arms of these "people" were deformed and twisted, their abdomens were split vertically, and there were sharp tooth-like bone spurs on both sides, like compound mouths.
But the most obvious feature is that the heads of these "people" are wrapped in some kind of milky white flesh worm.
Zombie aberrations.
The first time they saw the source of the unknown noise, namely these "people", Dante and Yang Luo judged them as "zombie".
The meat worms that wrapped their heads, or crabs, or headhunting crabs are more appropriately described as abnormal creatures, caused these human compatriots to become deformed.
"Roar!!"
The movement of Dante and Yang Luo rushing into the church naturally alarmed the zombies, who roared and rushed towards the two recruits.
And if you listen carefully, you can also distinguish the intermittent sentences of "Save...save me..." and "no...no..." from the roars of the zombies.
Seeing and hearing this, Dante and Yang Luo had a hint of pity and regret in their eyes.
In order to help his compatriots escape the pain as soon as possible, Dante freed his left hand to make a fist, and then...
"puff!!"
"laugh!!"
Then directly blast these zombies and the headhunting crabs that are the source of the zombies.
Although they have sufficient ammunition, this is only the current situation. Who knows what kind of enemies there will be in the future?
At the same time, they also heard the sounds made by the other two groups of brothers, who also chose to use fists and chain swords to deal with the zombies.
Leave the church.
Dante and Yang Luo continue to explore towards the center of the town.
They then communicate with each other through the headsets they wore before the transmission, ensuring that the intelligence and information possessed by everyone can be updated in real time.
And there seems to be no valuable discoveries in this town except for zombies.
More than thirty minutes later.
The group met in the central square of the town.
But it was also on this side of the square that the six holy angels discovered that the floor tiles of the square had long been dug up, and the missing townspeople were lying "quietly" inside.
However, tens of thousands of townspeople turned into Baisen skeletons.
Standing on the edge of the mass grave, six Holy Angel recruits who had just come of age and had not experienced much, their eyes suddenly turned red, and there was even a little moisture at the corners of their eyes.
Because they have psychic perception, they clearly understand the despair and unwillingness of tens of thousands of their compatriots when they are killed by some kind of "alien species".
The emotional resonance made Dante, Yang Luo and the others filled with grief and anger, but they were helpless.
"Oh... rest in peace."
In the end, Zelin, who is good at releasing spiritual energy, dispersed the resentment in the mass grave.
A little silence.
"Dante, what is our next goal?" Horn asked in a deep voice.
Now, the recruits have regarded Dante, who is the oldest and has served as a teaching counselor, as the leader of this six-man heavy-duty team.
"Look for the surviving compatriots and eliminate the alien bastards." Dante did not shirk. He defaulted to being the team leader, then looked east and said:
"To accomplish this goal, what we need to do now is to look for large-scale cities that can help us understand the current situation of this planet."
"good."
The brothers had no objections.
Next.
The six Holy Angel recruits, still in a triangular formation of two and two, withdrew from the long-abandoned town and moved quickly towards the inland area to the east.
Moreover, the recruits had no idea of hiding their tracks. They were all traveling at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. The cross-region area had suffered severe soil erosion and almost turned into a desert jungle.
Dust is rising everywhere.
The recruits did this deliberately.
The purpose is to expose the traces so as to attract the attention of fellow humans or aliens who are still in an unknown state.
It's okay to meet compatriots, but if they meet aliens, they happen to have nowhere to vent their anger when they see mass graves, and aliens are always the best props to "relieve stress" and "relieve worries".
It won't take long.
They had moved away from the dry coastline, and the original desert forest environment had also been slightly improved as they moved deeper inland.
At least the grass and trees are no longer as sparse as before.
This further confirms that the alien bastard seems to be using some kind of extraction technology to continuously extract the earth's oceans and even all water.
We continued walking for about an hour.
During this period, they also encountered numerous Zerg attacks that were huge in size, looked like deformed ants, and were obviously not earthly creatures.
This type of Zerg includes engineers, guards, reconnaissance pilots, and even more powerful queens.
It's just that they encountered Astartes, and they were Astartes recruits who were strong-blooded and endured their anger.
Dante, Yang Luo and the others still didn't use guns or cannons. They just used melee weapons and fists bigger than basketballs to tear apart all the bugs along the way.
However, based on the performance of this type of Zerg, they concluded that this was not the main culprit race in creating mass graves. After all, their IQ was too low, and their physiological structure could not achieve the level of vacuum navigation with the physical body alone.
It may be a parasite that came along with the evil race when it invaded the earth.
No matter what, after killing thousands of insects in close combat, it did help them suppress their anger.
finally.
An hour and a half after they left the town with mass graves and went deep into the interior, they finally saw traces of civilization.
It was a rail train with a razor on the front, and its height was twice or even three times its width, and it was speeding towards the southeast.
And everything left on the track will be penetrated and cut off by the front razor.
In addition, Zelin did not sense any emotional fluctuations and concluded that the train was driving automatically in accordance with the established procedures.
But it doesn't make much difference to them whether there are people or not.
At this moment, the six brothers did not even start any verbal communication, but they all ran quickly and jumped on the razor train.
The fact that the Razor Train can drive along the track so unscrupulously shows that the camp it belongs to is an alien bastard that causes the earth's harsh environment and kills fellow human beings.
And the train will arrive at its destination sooner or later. As long as they follow it, they will be able to "contact" with the alien bastards.

…
"哐...哐..."
In the dim carriage, the extremely subtle sound of rails and gears could be heard, and six Holy Angel recruits were slowly walking towards the front of the car.
The carriages and cargo boxes were empty.
Indeed, as they expected before boarding the train, the Razor Train seemed to be driverless.
But Zelin had a frown on his face, seemingly sensing more than the other brothers, and then said to Dante:
"Brother, this train is specially used to transport fellow human beings to and from city 1... which should be No. 13 and the transformation factory."
City No. 13?
Renovate the factory?
Dante raised his left hand, signaling the brothers to stop for now, and looked sideways at Zelin behind him, "Continue."
"Yes, I can also feel that this razor train was filled with the aura of death not long ago. It may have just completed its escort mission.
As for what the transformation factory is used for, I can't give an accurate answer, but it's not hard to imagine that it should be used by alien bastards to torture and transform fellow human beings.
However, based on the fact that we have just completed the escort mission, our next destination is City No. 13."
Zelin used short words to tell the brothers present about part of the current situation of the earth.
"City 13, hehe, I can't wait to blow the alien bastards to pieces." Finnis raised the plasma cannon in his hand.
"..." All the holy angels nodded silently.
Since the train ends at City No. 13, they no longer need to blindly search and run around. They only need to prepare for the battle in the near future.
———————
…
Interior of Eastern Europe.
A city with many classical buildings is located on the east side of the forest.
However, there is a special palace with a very large area and a very different style, located in the center of the city.
Moreover, the columnar metal structure outside the palace seemed to be slowly moving and expanding outwards. Together with the dark clouds, the city was shrouded in an inexplicable depressive atmosphere.
now.
At a train station on the western outskirts of the city, soldiers wearing well-sealed combat uniforms and "octopus head"-shaped helmets gathered.
At the same time, there were a large number of human civilians dressed in orange prison uniforms. Due to the guards and coercion of these soldiers, they had to come to the platform on the right and lined up in order to wait.
Obviously, this is City No. 13.
The humans dressed as prisoners seem to have violated the laws set by the alien bastards and need to be escorted to a transformation factory to undergo "reformation".
