360 Siege of the Imperial Flagship(6000)(2/2)
"Um?"
The captain's expression changed slightly, but he was not too panicked.
"calm!
Order to immediately blockade the rest of the entire Omega area, and use decks 9, 13, 16, and 21 as a basis to expand the blockade area to three adjacent cabins, lower all intact isolation gates, and activate all defense systems.
"
"But... there are still more than 300 people gathered on the stern deck, mostly engineers involved in maintenance. If the gate is lowered..."
"Looking for death! Take him out!"
Before the captain could speak, Baron Nutt, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly waved his hands angrily. With his huge telekinesis, he picked up the unfortunate crew member and slammed him down. Then he was quickly dragged out of the door by the guards at the door.
.
"Any more questions?"
Baron Nut glanced fiercely at the crew members under the seats, and no one dared to question the captain's cold orders.
After all, they were not the ones abandoned.
The Baron was furious, didn't he see the fate of that kind-hearted guy...
The order was executed perfectly immediately.
The engineers who were repairing the hull at the stern of the ship first heard the roar of the naval guns above their heads, and then they could see a large swarm of insects emerging from the ground not far away. They were about to rush over and turned around in shock.
Escape into the ship.
However,
The stormtroopers, who had not yet received the order to evacuate, ruthlessly stopped the engineers from escaping. Although they themselves felt that this foolish loyalty was meaningless, the empire's military laws were strict and they did not dare to disobey them.
As a result, after such a delay, when the gates were lowered, more than 80% of the people, including the stormtroopers, were trapped and died in the damaged stern.
At this time, the stormtroopers who were defending military discipline a second ago also panicked. They took the lead in beating the gate in disbelief and frantically pressed the intercom system next to the door.
What waited was only the sizzling sound caused by strong interference.
In the stern Omega zone, due to damage to the hull, the complete electromagnetic protection was destroyed, so that the remaining electronic equipment in the hull was being rapidly eroded by the magnetic storm.
Also included are the power armor and blasters in the hands of Stormtroopers.
They were completely abandoned!
The truth is so cruel, but before they can continue to be angry, the roar of the Tyranid Zerg is already close at hand. The creepy and dense running sound is mixed with the bang bang sound of stepping on the steel plate, and the damage from below is heard.
came from the deck.
The bugs have arrived!
The survivors at the rear of the ship were located like layers of cliffs. As long as the insects below surged up along the damaged hull, they would be able to tear them apart layer by layer.
"Ahhhh——!"
Several stormtroopers collapsed first. They ran to the edge of the twisted metal and pipe hull, raised their blasters and fired wildly at the swarm of insects below.
As a result, before the blaster beam could be successfully fired several times, the e-series blaster in his hand was completely jammed, and a strong smell of burnt lake wafted out, indicating that the internal electronic components had been completely burned.
This caused the stormtroopers of these third-line troops to collapse even more.
One of them raised the iron lump in his hand as if to smash it down. Unexpectedly, a very recognizable roar sounded, and a flesh-eating beetle fired from a flesh-eating gun hit the soldier's chest.
The flesh-eating beetle smashed into the pure white polymer breastplate with a bang, scarlet blood splashed everywhere, and then the hateful-looking beetle burst out with only half a minute of life and plunged into the soldier's chest.
.
There was a blood-curdling sound of muscle tearing and bone breaking, and a waterfall of blood spurted out from the big hole in his chest. In the end, the poor soldier had no time to groan, so he fell weakly from the gap in the hull.
It is then torn into pieces by the knife bugs waiting below using its sickle limbs.
Similar encounters occurred with other Stormtroopers who showed up.
The gunworms below were cunning and insidious. The flesh-eating guns in their hands could exert their maximum power at this distance. Their shooting skills were also good. They killed nearly ten stormtroopers on the spot in a sneak attack.
The few surviving stormtroopers immediately did not dare to fight back, not to mention that the blasters in their hands had turned into fire sticks and were too heavy to hold.
Moreover, their white polymer armor also became heavier, and the light exoskeleton inside became paralyzed, instead becoming a shackle that restricted their movements.
Several stormtroopers fled with the engineers into the Omega Zone while desperately abandoning their equipment.
The equipment has been dropped all the way, and the armor has been thrown away.
The Imperial Army was not equipped with old-fashioned gunpowder weapons, nor was there a guard room inside the ship. At the end of the escape, in addition to some close weapons such as batons, wrenches, and daggers, the welding guns in the hands of the engineers became the greatest force of the survivors.
.
With a strong desire to survive, these survivors fled to the top deck, No. 9.
Led by several engineers, they found the strongest cabin, collected some scattered supplies, and hid inside.
What's even more shocking is that they used the welding guns in their hands to completely weld the door of the temporary shelter shut. In order to prevent the insects from entering, they themselves did not plan to go out, and waited for rescue inside.
I have to say, this is an excellent strategy.
The vents of the shelter chosen by the engineers are so narrow that even a tiny gunworm cannot crawl in.
On the contrary, in the direction of the sealed ship, although all the gates for personnel to pass through have been lowered, there are many damaged gaps, maintenance shafts, and ventilation ducts for insects to penetrate.
Such a huge hidden danger was something that even the higher-ups of the empire had not thought of.
After all, the design of the Hunter class did not consider the issue of defense when encountering swarms of insects.
At first, there were still interested survivors of the bug team left outside, but soon a large number of bug swarms discovered the gaps leading to the inside of the ship. Under the instructions of the Hive Will, the thin gunworms started from these narrow places.
Infiltrate into the ship.
on the other side,
The hull of this Jaeger-class ship has also been crawled with Tyranids, and some fearless gunworms even got into the towering main gun barrel and wreaked havoc inside.
One was extremely lucky and happened to catch up with the main gun to charge up and fire.
So it begged for mercy, and with one shot, the acid body fluid in the flesh-eating beetle exploded, triggering a chain reaction. The violent energy overflow caused the feed tube and energy storage unit under the No. 6 turret to explode in a chain, and the violent explosion directly set off
Turn over this giant turret weighing hundreds of tons.
A blazing fireball suddenly burst out on the side of the ship island, and a second large hole was directly blasted into the hull.
This time the explosion was obviously more deadly, leaving the Imperial Army unprepared.
When they urgently sealed off the adjacent cabin, the nearby insect swarms had already swarmed up, and the attack was much smoother than at the rear of the ship. In the blink of an eye, thousands of insects entered the ship, killing everyone they saw, with overwhelming force.
The ship was already in chaos, and the harsh warning lights were flashing wildly, but they were soon burned by the strong magnetic environment pouring in from the damaged parts.
There were large pools of greasy blood stains everywhere in the corridor.
The torn corpses of human beings, the remains of ferocious insects that stabbed the crew members with sharp knives before they died, the blood-stained Stormtrooper stomachs and broken weapons were scattered all over the place, making the originally clean and majestic interior of the ship look particularly miserable.
Deeper in the hole area, a large number of red blaster beams flew, and the powerful power completely blocked the narrow corridor, causing all bugs that dared to show their heads to be blown into pieces.
The leader of the stormtroopers shouted loudly, calling on the engineers around him to quickly repair the hatch to isolate the endless stream of bugs on the other side.
The blaster gun in his hand kept firing. The excessive firing frequency caused the gun body to become hot. The magazines containing refined gas ammunition had been replaced one after another.
Sudden,
Gala, bang——!
The sound of a metal manhole cover falling to the ground was heard. The on-site commander was suddenly startled and hurriedly followed the sound.
I saw that the fence of the ventilation shaft was broken open by insects at some point in the rear of my position. A large number of knife insects roared and killed from the rear. The unsuspecting soldiers were slaughtered wantonly by the claws of the insects. The original position suddenly fell into chaos.
There was a lot of screams.
The gunworms that had been suppressed immediately took the opportunity to fight back, and the flesh-eating beetles flying towards them with strange screams actually ejected in the narrow space.
These beetles clearly have no intention of living.
Each time they eject, a large amount of acidic body fluids will be sprayed out. After corroding a large area of armor, the remaining bodies explode violently, splashing more hot white phosphorus-like flames onto the surrounding humans, burning out scorch pits that are deep enough to see the bones.
.
The good position suddenly turned into a hell.
Similar situations occurred in many places within the ship.
The imperial army that rushed in kept building lines of defense, and the all-pervasive insects tried their best to tear these lines of defense into pieces, and then unleashed endless killings.
The entire Delta area on the port side of the battleship was completely plunged into melee. The unique roar and explosion of the internal blaster beam continued endlessly. The louder the sound, the more difficult the situation of the Imperial Army at this moment.
Being overwhelmed and worrying about one thing and not the other is the most realistic portrayal of them at this moment.
The atmosphere in the bridge was terrifying at the moment. The captain struggled for a long time and finally gave the order:
"Completely cut off the passage between the Delta area and other areas, including ventilation shafts and maintenance openings. If it cannot be closed automatically, engineers can manually seal the gap!
After finishing the operation, all troops retreated to Hangar 4, relying on the heavy firepower of walkers for defense.
At the same time, nerve gas is injected into the lost Delta area, hoping that this can curb these violent monsters...
Go do it!”
Chapter completed!
