The nest owner carefully entered the hall. It first bowed its back cautiously, then straightened up, with its arms hanging down, looking around the hall.
Its eyes scanned the dusty murals on the wall, then walked to the nearest wall, stretched out its paws, and touched the faces painted on it.
It once knew the names corresponding to these faces from the brains of those who were devoured, but it can no longer remember them - the pressure of the Hive Shadow is getting heavier and heavier, gradually rendering its mind useless to the Hive Will. The message is cleared.
If nothing else, it will soon become an empty shell.
Its consciousness will become simple, peaceful, and it will attain tranquility.
But this is not what it expected, it does not want to return.
It wants to live, live more freely——
The nest owner touched the faces on the mural, trying to recall at least one name, just one name, so that it could know that he was still the same person he once was.
The next second, its claws dug into the bloody paintings, destroying what remained of the paintings.
The nest owner closed his eyes, and many devoured faces, voices, and smells all appeared in his mind, like ashes that had not yet been extinguished.
It hears the soft music, feels the caress of the hands of those who love it, and can even smell the sweet fragrance.
The fire in its head was no longer dying, and the song of the hive was temporarily weakened by this gentle caress.
Suddenly, the nest owner suddenly opened its claws, looked up to the sky and roared, and then scratched frantically at the painting in front of it. Its primitive animal nature was fighting with another emotion that did not belong to it.
After about a minute, it stopped moving, slowly turned around, and looked at the box held in the hands of a huge angel statue. The statue was surrounded by dusty bloody armor remnants.
They seemed to be guarding something until the last moment of their lives.
Ah yes, freedom.
Ethereal singing came from the box, and the nest master took steps forward. It could feel his consciousness, nodded, and let out a submissive growl.
Then, slowly, it stretched out its hand toward the box——
————————
The third company commander, Farzad, was leading a team to search this unfamiliar area. The explosion not far away was disturbing at first, but when information came from behind telling them that it was a reactor explosion, they stopped. Concerned.
This often happens when cutting the hull of a hulk.
This place is very close to the area where Mechanical Ark may exist, and the Dark Angels also found their lost battleship two days ago, and after dispelling the gene stealers inside, they recovered many valuable sacred objects of their chapter. and some technologies.
Beria was very grateful to Soshyan, so he expressed that he would fully support the Suffering Alliance's next actions.
At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps. All the Astral Knights immediately turned to look in the direction of the sound, and Farzad was no exception.
Soon, a group of warriors wearing yellow armor appeared in their sight, with traces of blood and flames on their bodies, and the armor was torn and old, which was in stark contrast to the almost brand-new armor of the Astral Knights. With the help of In the light of the lamp, the winged lightning emblem on their left shoulder armor became clearly visible.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who is this?"
Farzad clicked his tongue and sneered, and pointed the muzzle light at the head of the leader, causing the other person to subconsciously turn his head away.
"Company Commander, he is a malicious soldier."
An adjutant beside Farzad sneered and revealed the identity of the person who came, failing to hide the disgust in his voice.
"Oh, malicious warrior, I thought some space scavenger came from somewhere and picked up some pieces of armor to put on himself. It's disrespectful."
Castor stared coldly at this eccentric Captain of the Astral Knights. Not only did the other party's attitude annoy him, but the other party's shiny armor also annoyed him even more.
Why do these people have enough equipment and supplies?
He just wanted to kill this bastard right away.

But this is just a thought, not to mention that the other party now has a large number of people, and their mission is more important than anything else.
Therefore, he didn't even bother to speak, and made a gesture to lead the team away.
But they didn't expect that Farzad suddenly stood in front of them.
"Sorry, this road is blocked. Please turn around or take a detour."
Now Castor couldn't stand it anymore.
"What do you mean."
"literal meaning."
"Why, has this become your territory?"
Farzad laughed and responded in a tone meant to deal with idiots:
"Could it be yours? Get out—"
Before he finished speaking, gunfire rang out.
"you--"
Farzad staggered back, his relatively fragile neck armor instantly stained red, while Barak quietly lowered the smoking bolt gun in his hand. He drew the gun so quickly that almost no one noticed. (This guy is an official figure. He has killed two people from the Black Templar. He is one of the best among the Imperial Space Marines.)
"Someone fired a cold shot! Kill these insidious bastards!"
The Astral Knights immediately opened fire, and the malicious warriors were not to be outdone. The two sides fell into a fierce conflict for a while.
Ignoring his injuries, Farzad was enraged and swiped his chain ax across Castor's breastplate. The saw teeth penetrated the ceramite and almost split open the skull adorning Castor's chest.
But Castor, as the most elite warrior of the Malicious Warriors, had lightning-fast reaction speed. He suddenly pulled out his left hand, grabbed Farzad's wrist and moved his chain ax towards his On the right side, at the same moment, he forced his war hammer to the bottom of Farzad's torso.
Farzad tried to block, but the injury on his neck affected his movements. Then the heavy hammer hit his stomach with a crunching sound, and the third captain of the Astral Knights was forced to bend down.
Immediately Castor released his right arm and struck Farzad on the helmet with his hammer, knocking him aside.
About an hour later, just after finishing the secret talk with Sage Zhao Akada, I returned from the Mechanicus fleet to the hulk frontline headquarters Soshiyan, and received a surprising news.
"What!"
Soshyan's eyes widened when he heard the news reported by Ustad himself. At this time, Talos also walked into the command tent and happened to hear Ustad narrating the incident again.
"Yes, Chapter Commander, a conflict broke out between the third company and the malicious warriors. Farzad was attacked by a sneak attack and was seriously injured. He was transferred to the flagship for rescue. In addition, three soldiers were killed and five were injured. After that, the malicious warriors also Took away the equipment of the dead and wounded.”
"Those bastards!"
Soshyan turned around and smashed the table next to him with a punch.
Talos then spoke.
"How about I solve this matter..."
Before he finished speaking, Bahram hurried in with a very anxious expression.
"Company Commander...Chapter Commander!"
"What's up?"
"Sablin and the others suddenly put on power armor and left with weapons forty minutes ago. They said they wanted to teach the malicious warriors a lesson. I stopped them, but they tied me to the pillar instead. If someone hadn't passed by and let me go. I’m still tied up.”
Talos and Soshyan were both stunned. Then Talos scratched his head and whispered in a somewhat surprised tone:
"Hey, they have exactly the same temper..."
