After solving the target, Oranios took a closer look. The thing in the water seemed to be a swollen corpse soaked in water. The skin was full of wrinkles. The maggot-like torso had thick legs and arms. It was huge. The head has no eyes, only a bloody eel-like mouth.
At the same time, there was more movement in the water, and he immediately judged what was entrenched here——
Mutant tribes are a common existence in the human world. They have various unique mutations and usually huddle in the darkest corners. Among them, those who mutate so deeply that they almost lose their human form often degenerate into the form of beasts. , living in a garbage dump created by the same kind, in a sense, is a concentrated expression of the most tragic side of the human race in the dark 41st millennium.
But now the soldiers don't have any sympathy, they just want to get it over with quickly.
Beams of lasers burst out in the darkness, causing the reflections on the walls to tremble. Roars and screams filled the entire space. Many mutants jumped out of the water and screamed, before being shot mercilessly.
Hayes kept his eyes closed the entire time. He did not dare to shoot and injure his companions. Fortunately, these things did not cause much trouble. After most of them died, the remaining ones had no choice but to flee their "home" in embarrassment.
After that, the team moved forward along a pipeline with a high content of heavy metals in the water. They walked for more than 20 minutes and passed through several forks. Finally, guided by Ouranios' mysterious intuition, they arrived at their goal. .
However, when leaving the pipeline, they encountered some minor trouble...
The person in charge of internal security is obviously not an idiot. They have set up guards in the drainage area. Only through here and up the stairs can you reach the ground.
In the darkness, the aphrodisiac scanner in Ouranios' hand emitted a series of soft beeps. In an instant, all the discomfort of the sewers-the cold, the damp, the claustrophobia of the tunnel walls were forgotten, and all the soldiers readied their weapons. arms.
】
Fortunately, the sound of sewage being released from numerous pipes gave them some cover.
"There are a lot of signals, there are at least fifty enemies."
Ouranios spoke, waving an arm wildly to attract the attention of the soldiers following them.
Ahead, the tunnel section of the sewer is about to end, and the drainage area is a large space.
"They're just ahead. I don't think they're more than two hundred meters away."
As the firefight was about to take place, a grim solemnity fell on the Imperial soldiers. They were not elite, but they trusted their company commander. This man had helped them get out of many dangers. Even Hashet had to admit it. , even though he often quarreled with each other.
After walking a few steps, Olanios issued a series of hand signals, and the three fire teams separated from the main group. They would enter the branch roads that could only accommodate one person. These small passages would lead them to the high-level rows. gas well.
The rest of the team plodded forward in half-crouched groups of three, selector switches on their laser guns ready for rapid fire.
"Prepare flash bombs..."
Gradually, the tunnel widened, seeming to grow larger with every step.
"One hundred meters... ninety meters... seventy-five... fifty..."
Bang bang bang——
Several flash bombs were shot directly out of the drainage channel. The moment the bright light burst out, the soldiers rushed out roaring.
Lost in the haze and chaos of the battle, Hayes had almost no time to think. He fired a series of lasers at the nearest enemy standing on the high platform. The protective gear and clothes on that person were immediately ignited, and he fell screaming.
At the same time, those who had sneaked into the ventilation shaft kicked off the grates and began shooting down from above.
The sounds of battle were deafening, and Hayes heard the screams, the high-pitched whine of laser guns firing in full-automatic mode, the whir of flamethrowers and the roar of shotguns—all heightened by the enclosed environment. More intense.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted everything else, and Hayes heard a roar behind him.
Someone pushed him into the sewer water. This action saved him. A grenade exploded not far from him, causing a large splash of water in the shock wave.
Hayes squirmed in the water, crouched and raised his gun, firing a laser that burned through a heretic's left eye and into its brain, leaving the back of the skull in a puff of steam and red blood. explode.
Even when the enemy fell, Hayes did not stand up. He crouched in the raw sewage up to his chest, his eyes scanning the tunnel through the breathing mask, looking for another enemy to kill.
He chooses his targets carefully, keeping his energy packs where they will be most effective, and although he is not a sniper, he is calm and accurate under pressure.
Hayes fired his laser gun six times, each one a headshot, killing an enemy each time.
Using the advantage of surprise, the skirmish turned in their favor as the commandos eliminated most of the enemy thirty seconds before the battle began.
A minute later, the last enemy was sent away without mercy.
Just as the battle started suddenly, it ended just as suddenly.
As always, after the battle, there's a strange, eerie moment of calm - a quiet moment of incredible silence as the men struggle to come to terms with the fact that they've still survived.
"Brother Hais?"
The water splashed, and Peak waded towards him. He lowered his head in concern. It was he who had just pushed Hayes into the water.
"Are you okay?"
"Thank you, it's okay."
Hayes brushed his hands over his suit, doing his best to remove the worst of the sludge he'd inadvertently collected during his brief submersion in the sewer sewage, but it didn't improve his mood.
The commandos lost three teammates, but they had no time to deal with the bodies of their comrades because time was tight and they could only move forward.
Following the light, they climbed up the huge metal stairs and soon emerged into another huge underground space, and saw no sign of any heretical guards.
Instead, everyone just saw a dizzying network of metal pipes crisscrossing and converging in a squat, ugly metal building, and could hear the sound of machinery overhead, perceptible through the soles of boots. There was a rhythmic vibration in the distance, and the temperature began to rise to an unacceptable level.
At this time, the commandos have realized that they are already inside the factory. Ouranos roughly infers that they should be going down the assembly line. Although it is not known why he knows the structure of the factory so well, everyone trusts him. .
According to the plan, they will cross the assembly room, enter the central control room, and destroy it with melta bombs, which will cause problems with power distribution in the entire area.
After that, they had to go to the assembly area and wait for help, or let fate take its course.
