  Chapter 46 The Frontiers of the Empire: Forty-Four Sections Hunter and Prey

The scorching red light of the laser gun passed through the streets, and countless laser beams flashed on the dark lower streets of the Hive City. The scarlet beams shot out continuously from the laser gun muzzle, and the soldiers of the defense army retreated in a hurry while pulling the trigger indiscriminately. .

They were heading towards the giant arcade at the end of the closed street. Some people were running for their lives while rolling and crawling. Behind them, laser beams and Tyrann's biological bullets shot at these fugitives. They fell to the ground after being hit. While screaming, it was devoured by meat-thirsty beetles. On the other side of the street, Genestealer Cultists with Imperial weapons were advancing with their filthy blood kin, roaring Tyranid creatures rushed from the other side of the street, their tunnel arches, armored The Tyranid Beast charged forward and crushed the guard soldiers who were fleeing along the way.

  The behemoth rushed out from under the arcade at the end of the street. In the underground hall near the track elevator, two guard soldiers drilled out of the sandbags, picked up the bazooka and pulled the trigger on the beast.

The howling rocket hit the beast, but the giant Tyranid continued to sprint against the explosion. Countless laser beams and plasma hit it, and its black carapace was dissolved and pierced under the violent bombardment. The body turned into a giant hornet's nest.

  The behemoth hit the support pillar with its last strength, and the tall stone pillar crashed to the ground and smashed a roaring twin-mounted laser cannon.

  The billowing thick smoke filled the air in an instant, and at the moment when the smoke spread, countless Tyrann soldiers charged out of it. They rolled in from the smoke, and the huge number instantly flooded the forward positions before they had time to react.

  The sandbags were knocked down, the soldiers were slaughtered instantly, and the survivors began to flee backwards, but their speed was obviously not as fast as the specialized Tyranid creatures.

  On the last rail elevator line of defense, the heavy-bomber machine gun roared and shattered a large group of Tyranid soldiers, but a large behemoth rushed out from the dust cloud that had not yet dissipated.

The beast roared with a vortex-shaped mouth, and the giant beak on the lower jaw creaked. As it charged, the guards aimed all their firepower at the beast in haste and despair, but its specialized head armor But enough for the current bolter and plasma fire.

  The beast rushed to the position. Everyone looked at the approaching giant mouth in despair, but just as the machine gunner lowered his head to face death, a tragic roar sounded in front of them.

The guards raised their heads and looked at the beast from behind the sandbags. It roared in pain, and a blue flame was burning behind the carapace on its crown. Another plasma cannon hit its back, and the plasma flame burned The head screamed after wearing its flesh and blood.

The soldiers looked at the working ladder on one side of the wall, and on the raised circular platform, soldiers of the Planetary Defense Force rushed out one by one. These militiamen burst out with great courage, carrying a series of plasma weapons and The melta weapon rushed out.

They set up those weapons without hesitation and opened fire quickly. The fierce shooting covered the entire hall from a height, and the Tyranid beasts fell like fallen leaves under the condescending firepower. Blooms spread in the middle of the sky, and rockets whistled and raised billowing smoke.

There was a sound from the elevator of the Star Guards, and the orbital elevator landed firmly on the ground. The gate opened amidst the flashing red warning light, but before the gate was fully opened, laser beams shot from inside. out.

The Guards platoon leader watched a large group of Planetary Defense Forces file out of it. They quickly spread out and aimed at the charging Tyranids and fired fiercely. The laser beams flashed across the heads of the Star Guard soldiers like a torrential rain, and the intensive strikes On the tyranid swarm and their ignominious kin.

  The platoon leader stood up and held the laser gun and looked at the Planetary Defense Forces who jumped off the platform and walked and shot in groups. The guards all looked at these local militiamen who suddenly became fearless with surprised expressions.

   Their battle roars sounded one after another, even suppressing the roar of the Tyranid herd, and a man walked out of the elevator among them, a man in a red cloak.

  The platoon leader looked at him with a look of astonishment, and then immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Mr. Judge! I didn't expect that the regiment headquarters would send you to support us."

"Your regiment headquarters has other things to do. The whole nest has been beaten in by these bastards. I need to know where their mastermind is." Vito said as he walked off the platform and came to the platoon leader. He looked at the machine gun and pointed to the tunnel exit ahead.

  The machine gunner was startled, then raised his machine gun and started roaring. Bombs rained down on the tunnel, intercepting and interrupting the rhythm of his charge, and soon all the Tyranid herds in the hall were wiped out.

Vito turned his head slightly and then waved his hands. The platoon leader watched in astonishment and immediately a defense soldier carrying a rocket launcher appeared next to him. The rocket roared through the dust on the battlefield and directly into the tunnel. , with an explosion, everything fell into silence.

The soldiers stopped shooting, the herd of beasts pouring out of the dark tunnel stopped, no more beasts rushed out of it, but everyone knew that the Tyranids were only regrouping rather than being wiped out, can you believe ? Destroying all Tyrannosaurus, saying this is the same as drinking fake wine.

  Vito looked at the remains of the Tyranids in the hall. The corpses and carapace fragments filled the hall. After the devastating firepower, these dirty things were everywhere.

Vito shrugged slightly and pulled out the bolt gun. He waved his arm forward and waved for everyone to follow. The soldiers of the Defense Army followed, and soon the orbital elevator completed its work again and opened the gate. The platoon leader I was surprised to see another whole group of defense soldiers came out, and there were even guys in civilian clothes but holding guns.

"Judge, how many reinforcements did you bring?" The platoon leader asked in surprise, and Vito walked towards the entrance of the tunnel, leading a large group of defenders, "All those who retreated, it's time for us to counterattack. "

   "Come together?" Vito asked, shaking the bolter.

  —

  —

   Boots trimmed with silver iron plates stepped over the corpses of Tyranids. These horrible creatures have now become cold corpses.

Silver Boots stepped over the corpse of a Tyrannosaurus. Its head was smashed by a large-caliber shotgun. Silver Boots stepped forward again but stopped. Its owner took his feet back and stopped on a corpse. Tyron's corpse, well, it's not really a corpse after all, it's still moving, but it is now.

  The flash of the bolter disappeared in a flash, and the large-caliber bomb instantly shattered half of the gunworm's body. The splashed blood splashed onto the trouser leg, causing the owner of the boots to pat the trouser leg in displeasure.

Vito stood among the corpses with a gun, and his guard soldiers around him were holding rifles one by one. The vitality of the Tyranids is very tenacious, and almost all the Tyranids have a considerable recovery ability. , so you'd better make sure they are completely dead, completely dead.

"Your Excellency, the whole regiment and the reinforcements of the Planetary Defense Force are counterattacking across the board. The third company has recaptured the lower nest corridor and blown up the stairs." The corpse came to Vito's side, and a large piece of Tyrannian flesh and blood was splashed on the other side of Vito.

Vito glanced at the platoon leader and raised his eyebrows slightly, "So fast?" "Yes, my lord, our troops counterattacked quickly. I guess it may be that Tyron thought the attack was hopeless and retreated on his own initiative. According to our experience in Gravalex , the Tyranids will retreat if they calculate that the biomass lost in the attack is greater than the biomass gained.”

  Vito stopped and looked at the corpse of Tyron lying on the side of the underground street. The corpse of the knife insect had been punched out with several huge blood holes, and the death condition was very miserable.

Vito turned his head and looked at the empty tunnel. The judge rubbed his chin with the **** of his bolter, and then took out a delicate silver snake pocket watch from his pocket. He opened the cover and looked at the ticking watch. Mechanical clock dial.

  The judge shrugged slightly and put the pocket watch back in his pocket. He raised the bolter to change the magazine and then pulled the trigger suddenly, "It's faster than I thought, I hope they are on time."

Before Vito finished speaking, the screams sounded immediately, and the platoon leader immediately raised his gun and aimed at the rear. Suddenly, several burly beasts with two feet stood up from the pile of Tyrann's corpses. They held bone knives like a gust of wind. Beheaded the surrounding guard soldiers.

  The ventilation fan blade above the underground street crashed to the ground, and the beast that jumped off the fan blade was also crushed. It quickly swung its sharp claws and harvested the surrounding guards who were trying to resist.

In just a few seconds, all the guards following Vito were dead, only the platoon leader was left alive. He hurriedly raised the laser gun to aim and shoot, but the beasts did not hide much, the laser gun The light beam hit the black-purple carapace like polishing.

"Your Honor! We are ambushed!" The platoon leader exclaimed, but Vito shrugged calmly, "Yes, I knew it was an ambush, and to be honest, I was surprised that I was ambushed after walking so deep. "

"What?" asked the platoon leader, and Vito waved the bolter casually, "Look, I was ambushed by a Likat up there, and the beast failed, and it came straight at me to affirm the Tyranid fleet Prepare to behead the head of the local empire in order to break down the core of the empire's defense force."

"And after licart failed, they will definitely try a second time, and the next time may be in some places where I don't want it to appear, such as in the bedroom of the Governor's Palace or something. I'm not used to being naked in front of lovely ladies. I can't kill a bug by leaning on me, so I decided to give them a chance and let them know in a place I'd like."

   "That's right here." Vito said and closed his eyes, which he had to close, because half of his face was covered with the blown brains of the Second Lieutenant's platoon leader.

  Vito sighed and wiped off the flesh and blood on his face, "Can I finish my sentence?"

   Vito looked helplessly at the giant floating in the tunnel. It was a creature with extremely degenerated limbs but a long tail. Its huge brain hung on its shoulders, almost deformed.

  But don’t underestimate that creature because it’s deformed. After all, there were arcs of electric arcs flashing on its body, and it was also it that blew up the platoon leader’s head.

  Vito whistled, looked at the worm with interest and ignored several Tyranid warriors who were about to move around, and looked at the deformed creature floating over.

"Cerebrates, you think highly of me. It seems that your fleet worm queen knows that I have psychic powers, right? I like your ability to share information. If it weren't for the untouchables approaching me, I would have a headache. I would like to take one with me." gone."

As Vito said, he inserted the bolter back into the holster, and before Vito could make any comments, the samurai behind him attacked like lightning, and the bone knife chopped towards his head with an afterimage, but it was almost The bone knife that appeared in the form of an afterimage stopped suddenly, and just stopped quietly a few inches above Vito's head.

The judge sighed and rubbed his neck helplessly, "That's why I like to fight with enemies with normal thinking ability, at least they will let me finish my sentence, well, maybe, at least the Eldar will, although I Don't like hearing them finish the riddles."

   Vito raised his finger and shook it slightly as he spoke, suddenly the bone knife in the warrior's hand broke free from its palm, and the warrior watched in amazement that his bone knife was then stabbed into his abdomen.

The bone knife held by the invisible hand moved by itself, cutting off the samurai at the waist. After the samurai fell to the ground, it directly shattered its entire face. The bone knife repeatedly hit the samurai's face until The bone knife fell to the ground after a **** mess.

  Several Tyranid warriors looked at each other, they all took a step back and raised their bone knives to roar angrily.

  The lightning struck Vito, but suddenly hit a shield two steps away, and the arc burst instantly, and the flickering current spread around and wrapped around Vito.

The flash of light swallowed up all the range of vision, and at the moment of blinding, a claw pierced in from the light, Vito looked at the claw, raised his hand and directly twisted the bone claw with spiritual power, The samurai screamed, but another samurai suddenly appeared from the other side and swung two bone knives, slashing at Vito's neck from both sides.

  But Vito just glanced at the warrior, and an invisible fist hit it directly, and its hard carapace shattered, and the whole beast was blown out and directly embedded in the strong force.

  Several warriors appeared at the same time, launching a whirlwind attack with knives and sharp claws at the same time, but these sharp cuts all stopped neatly around Vito, and all of them stopped precisely a few inches away.

  Vito pulled out the chainsword, and the heads of the Tyranids fell to the ground the moment the blade lighted up, and the tall corpses also collapsed to the bottom.

"Do you know how hard it is to wash off the smell of blood? Do you know that I have a wartime date tonight?" Vito said as he walked towards the cerebrate while holding the chainsaw sword. Passing through corpses one by one.

The cerebrate screamed sharply, but Vito hugged his hands with a smile, "I didn't expect that, right? It's normal that I only use my spiritual power when I need to kill a relatively strong enemy alone." , so I'm praising you."

Speaking of Vito's eyes glowing golden, a psionic shock wave hit the psychic shield of the cerebrate, and the shield was completely covered and lit up, and the cerebrate waved its short, almost useless front Claw screamed.

A series of white lightning bolts hit Vito, but the latter just walked slowly towards his mind. Those lightning bombardments were disintegrated one by one on the chaos in front of Vito. The ground struck, and all the corpses along the way, whether they were Tyron's or humans, were instantly crushed into pieces of rotten flesh.

But that power was still instantly shattered by the shield, and the impact force was disintegrated and scattered, and the corpses around Vito were blown away. The brain worm screamed and bombarded Vito with various spiritual powers, but it was of no avail. .

He walked up to the shield in his mind, and drew a small sign on the shield with his fingers, then Vito rolled up those snake-like slender signs and touched the surface of the shield, almost instantly The entire shield instantly burst into pieces.

The cerebrate screamed like a baby, and the ghostly scream was enough to scare anyone, but Vito just rubbed his ears helplessly, then raised his hand and swiped down slightly, the cerebrate directly Like a meteorite, it hit the ground heavily.

The cerebrate screamed endlessly, but Vito raised the chainsword and stabbed it directly at the end of its tail, violent blood spurted out, and the scream of the cerebrum resounded throughout the tunnel like a nightmare. .

  Vito grabbed the brain worm's big head, and its huge head was suddenly pushed firmly to the ground. He smiled and looked at the brain in front of him, and its small eyes turned to look at him.

   "Look, I used my own bait to catch fish, and the quality of the bait determines what level of fish I can eat tonight. I think I can get some good prey with this bait."

"Ah, of course it's not you. Don't get excited. I'm talking about the queen who is watching a play in your mind." Vito smiled and picked a purple crystal from his arms. A crystal, in which there is always a strange kind of dust shining, and every moment the dust shimmers like a star.

   Or. That is a star.

   "Oh, dear Lily, I hope your sister. Fuck, is she your sister or yourself? Ah, never mind, I hope it will work if you promise this thing."

  Vito crushed the crystal, and the stardust quickly penetrated into his ears and nostrils, Vito's eyes suddenly lit up, and the cerebrate's eyes also shone with the same golden light while screaming.

  Vito's consciousness rushed into the network of the Tyranid will, which was a huge, twisted and eternally hungry huge will, as huge as the entire galaxy.

  But Vito was in endless consciousness, amidst the howling of countless beasts and the torment of endless hunger, Vito broke through the scarlet curtain, tearing a gap, a small gap, from the surface of the huge will.

   But he saw something behind the gap, it was a unique pure white Tyrannosaurus, it had a huge lower body egg sac, and countless arms shook and howled, looking at Vito on the side of the curtain.

"I found you." He whispered, and then the curtain closed instantly, and countless tentacles of the giant Tyranid consciousness attacked Vito from all directions. A large piece of shimmering star fragments, those fragments wrapped him like a rhombus mirror.

  The mirror suddenly shattered after a while. Among the countless fragments, Vito had already disappeared, and all the tentacles were thrown into the air. In the endless huge will, the roar of the beast, the roar of extreme anger echoed in the sea of ​​spirits.

  Vito's eyes closed again, and when they opened again, the light flashed and changed back to normal eyes.

  The tyranid cerebrate screamed and exploded in an instant, like a flesh bomb. Its blood sprayed Vito all over and dyed him completely red.

   "Wori!" Vito cursed and took a few steps back to look at the blood all over his body, "How long will it take me to wash this **** off!"

He cursed loudly and kicked the cerebrate's corpse hard, and then a severe headache swept over, causing Vito to subconsciously pinch his temple, "Fuck, it hurts like hell, since this thing can't Pain relief? What an inferior product, but at least the gains are not small."

He pulled out his chainsword and slipped it back into his belt. He turned and walked towards the end of the tunnel but was caught by a claw halfway. He looked down at the half-sized Tyranid warrior, its weak He opened his mouth and howled in a low voice, his persistence even made Vito feel a little respect.

  He squatted down and looked into the eyes of the Tyrann warrior with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, ah, by the way, let me tell you the queen, I know where he is, and I will come to find him for a date soon."

   Tyran howled sharply, Vito stood up and pulled out a bolter and blasted its head.
