Chapter 275 The Primarch Rises: Inside the Ship
This battleship is still as huge as Vito's impression. The Hook-class battle cruiser is one of the largest type of battleships in the hands of the Trade Federation. It is a full sixteen kilometers long and nearly six kilometers wide. However, Now, this giant ship that was supposed to sail in the sea of stars is lying in this valley.
Vito stood next to the battleship. Compared with this giant ship, he was really as small as an ant. The majestic and tall steel wall spanned in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the other end of the valley, where there was a vast expanse of white. In the snowy valley, the giant ship stretched towards its end. The length of the ship, which was more than ten kilometers long, could not be seen at a glance. All that could be seen was the white snow covering the armored slopes.
The smart helmet scanned the outer surface of the entire battleship. Lines of data analysis were quickly presented in front of Vito's eyes. He frowned at the preliminary scan results, "It was not shot down, but died of myocardial infarction. The power system suddenly became paralyzed at a certain moment, as if it was poisoned."
"The answer you are looking for is behind this door." Kenobi said, standing in front of the large door in the belly of the giant ship. The iron door was one of the working channels that was once used to transport goods and supplies, but now it However, due to the fall of the battleship, most of the gate was buried in the snow, and only the upper part was still vaguely exposed.
Vito walked through the thick snow and walked to the door. The snow in the valley had almost reached his knees. Almost half of Vito's body was buried in the snow, relying entirely on the power of the Thor power armor. The momentum, like an icebreaker, crashed through the snow and reached the sloping door.
Vito looked at the door and nodded slightly to Kenobi, "Open it."
The latter also nodded tacitly and took a step back. He raised his hands upwards. As the arms were raised, the invisible power that appeared in the snow was released from him, and the snow under his feet The ground was blown away by the sudden strong wind. The strong wind blew across the snow and hit the door after destroying countless snowdrifts.
In an instant, the entire surface of the door made a deformation sound, and the harsh distortion echoed in the valley. Vito stood with Kenobi holding the gun. He watched the door change intensified as Kenobi's hand tightened. .
The entire nearly ten-meter-thick alloy armor door was helpless in the face of Kenobi's power. The surface of the entire door was dented and distorted inward and outward. The broken metal fixing strips transmitted the breaking sound to the door. The snow on the door surface Frost fell in layers as the door twisted a little.
Kenobi gently pulled his palm upwards, and a series of crackling sounds came from both sides of the door. As the sound echoed in the snow valley for a long time, the entire door collapsed downwards.
The huge door fell to both sides. Two thick metal doors slid over the heads of Vito and Kenobi, perfectly avoiding them and hitting the snow on both sides. Large pieces of snow were captured by it. Scattered and crushed, the valley rock surface under the thick snow also made a loud sound amidst the collision of metal.
The impact of the gate's collapse was transmitted throughout the valley. Vito heard the sound of an avalanche somewhere in the valley. He raised his head and looked at the top of the battleship, but it was obvious that the towering battleship blocked the pouring avalanche like a city wall. , only a little bit of snow fell from above and hit Vito's helmet.
"You can also sense that power, right? The power of the stone tablet." Kenobi looked at the darkness in the ship in front of him and asked. Vito nodded slightly. He raised his hand and patted the snow off it. He stepped on One step forward, holding a gun in one hand, he stood in front of the dark door, looking into the abyss where he couldn't even see his fingers.
"The energy scanner of the power armor is off the charts, so yes, I know it's in there, and I can also sense the abnormal energy body." Vito frowned slightly, his eyes looking at the blue of the holographic helmet. Staring at the abyss behind the color image screen, staring at what is hidden in the darkness.
"That power is not a creation of the Eldar, nor is it something from any alien species. I recognize the energy signature of that thing. It is the power of the devil."
"Chaos, yes." Kenobi said and walked to Vito's side, and the two of them looked side by side into the dark corridor inside. "Do you know now why I wanted you and me to come down alone?"
Vito didn't reply. He pressed the flashlight on the pulse rifle. White light shone in from outside the door and lit up the ground closest to the door. Vito stepped heavily into the door with the gun in his hand. Lifting up from the snow, the next step was to step on the steel ground behind the gate, and the sound of his footsteps changed in an instant.
Kenobi also followed, and the two of them walked into the dark hull one after another. Their bodies were buried in the darkness. The dark night instantly engulfed them completely, but soon as the darkness Upon arrival, the power armor's optical readout recognized the disappearance of visible light and quickly activated the power armor's lighting.
A pale light lit up from the helmet, and the white beam of light shone on the surrounding dark walls. Kenobi observed the surrounding environment. As his head turned, the light also pointed to different places according to his vision. The light brings things hidden in the darkness back into the light.
The light beam shined through the wall, illuminating each small hole. The holes punched diagonally spread out in varying numbers on the wall, sometimes densely packed, sometimes sparse, but it was obvious that someone had tried to resist here. , they are blocking something.
Vito walked in front of Kenobi, his rifle steady in his hand, his eyes under the holographic mask constantly scanning the dark corridors and rooms. He walked past the open hatches, the muzzle of the gun shining into them with the flashlight hanging from the bottom, the pale light swept through the darkness, and flickered through the overturned furniture and items in the room.
Vito's muzzle scanned the surroundings, the bullet holes became more dense as he went deeper, and his boots hit something on the ground. Vito stopped and looked down, the helmet's lighting illuminated a gun on the ground, the gun that was pierced from the center by something lying on the ground.
Vito's eyes looked to the side, and the light also illuminated the owner of the gun, that was a human crew member with flesh and blood, at least when he was alive, he was dead, nothing pierced his rifle through the chest and killed him.
"This is simply a slaughterhouse, Vito." Kenobi appeared behind Vito and said, his eyes followed the light to illuminate the corpses in the large hall of the ship. There were many similar corpses, human corpses.
Vito also looked up and looked forward. There were quite a lot of corpses lying in the dark hall. The bright lights of the two sets of power armor intertwined, lighting up the hall like a lighthouse sweeping across the dark sea. Here, human corpses and robot corpses lay together, and flesh and steel parts were mixed and scattered all over the hall.
Vito stood up and walked past the corpse in front of him with a gun in hand. His power armor iron feet stepped on the ground, and the hydraulic buffer device pushed upward on both sides of the calf to buffer the impact of the step and provide thrust for the next step.
The light on the helmet scanned the surroundings. The bodies of humans and robots appeared under the light, and soon fell into darkness as the light passed. Vito's footsteps were very light, and the silent engine started almost instantly, as if he was worried about waking up something here, something lying in the pile of corpses.
Kenobi followed Vito, and he followed Vito's steps and stepped over the scattered corpses. Humans put up a tenacious resistance here, and it seemed that the betrayed intelligent machines paid a heavy price, but the final result did not seem to be very satisfactory. Not everything in this world will end like a fairy tale or a movie, and finally usher in a perfect victory, especially in this dark ship.
There are no good stories in these halls surrounded by steel. Here, there are only death and bullet holes all over the walls, and dense bullet holes on the closed door.
Vito stood in front of the gate. The light on his helmet illuminated the iron gate full of bullet holes. In front of the gate sat a human crew member's body, his gun resting on his legs, his head drooping and lifeless, just like the closed and locked gate.
"They wanted to escape in, but they were a step too late. The gate was closed, and they could only fight here until they were annihilated. Human courage." Kenobi stood behind Vito, and he scanned the wreckage lying in the hall.
"I think the robots will not accept surrender, so they can only fight to the death." Vito walked to the control panel on the side. The silent gate control panel was dead black, just like everything here without life.
Vito hung the rifle behind him, he bent down and looked at the bottom of the panel. The lighting light soon lit up the cover, Vito reached out and buckled the core cover, he grabbed two cables from it and inserted them into the slots spread out on the arm of Thor's power armor.
"What are you going to do?" Kenobi asked behind him, and Vito smoothly inserted the two into the interface. As a series of indicator lights on the power armor arm lit up, the control panel also lit up again, and the Trade Union logo rotated on the screen, shining precious light on the wall above.
"Open the door, it's better to restart the power system of this ship, otherwise you want to dismantle the door all the way? I remind you that there are countless doors along the way, and it will take too much time for you to dismantle them one by one." Vito said, clicking on the tactical panel on his arm, and the panel on the inside of his arm kept flashing as Vito clicked.
"Well, we are lucky. The energy system of this ship is just offline, not damaged. I think I can restart the system." Vito said, using several fingers to operate on the tactical panel. The ticking sound accompanied by the icons flashing continuously, but what finally greeted Vito was a not very satisfactory red warning exclamation mark.
Vito cursed in a low voice, but even his low curse was amplified by the communication network of the power armor and transmitted to Kenobi's ears. He tilted his head slightly to listen to Vito's not-so-elegant curse words. Well, to be precise, it was very ancient, but it was widely spread among humans, and it was a word that had not been lost even after several centuries.
"Fuck, the system of this broken ship is locked. I can't restart it manually. I need an identification code. Where can I find the identification code in this broken place? Otherwise, you should just tear down the door all the way." "No need, I have it."
Kenobi walked to Vito and looked at the tactical interview on his wrist. Kenobi quickly clicked something on Vito's wrist screen very directly. As a string of digital codes were input, the red warning exclamation mark disappeared instantly.
Vito looked at his system in surprise, and turned his head hesitantly to look at Kenobi, "How do you know the alliance code? You old bastard, are you also a part-time spy?"
"I'm not just watching the history of mankind, Vito. What you don't know, I'm not just watching the show." Kenobi said, patting Vito's shoulder, and he looked up at the locked "Open the door, I don't want to rush in like the demolition team."
"You are so elegant." Vito said as he unplugged the two cables and walked to the panel. He quickly switched interfaces on it, and quickly clicked and activated the icons with his fingers. Soon, there was one at the end. When the green button was pressed, the whole ship was completely different.
Vito and Kenobi looked up at the lights above their heads. The entire ship's energy was restored, and the lighting system was back online. The darkness that enveloped everything was instantly dispelled, bathing everything here in light again.
Vito turned around and quickly clicked the door switch. His finger pushed upward to turn off the lock switch. The heavy explosion-proof door slowly lifted up as the lock was released. The heavy door moved upwards and was retracted into the door frame under the warning light. Inside, the passage leading to the depths of the ship also opened.
Vito walked to the entrance of the door and looked inside, but he was interrupted just as he was about to walk in. There was a rustle of some small metal object sliding across the ground. Vito turned his head and looked. Nobby joined him in looking at the tiny sphere crawling over the remains of a battle robot.
The little thing appeared out of nowhere, with insect-like mechanical legs extending out from the end, and climbed onto the wreckage of the robot. The thing turned around on the wreckage, its oval body with several legs on its abdomen. Turning around under the action, there was a red eye on the gray-black carapace.
Kenobi looked at the mechanical insect, its mechanical eyes flashing intermittently, looking at Kenobi and Vito, "I have never seen such a small robot, what is it? Some kind of cable repair A mini logistics robot?”
Kenobi asked. He turned to look at Vito, who slowly took off his rifle from his back. "I prefer to call them cleaning robots." "Cleaning robots? For cleaning?" If you call the decomposition, devouring and annihilation of all living and man-made objects on the entire planet cleansing, then yes, they are used for cleaning.”
"The kind used to clear out the entire planet." Vito said, looking at the things in front of him. A huge shadow gradually enveloped the two of them. Kenobi also turned his head hesitantly, and then he probably knew that Vito What does Tuo mean?
Countless tiny nanomechanical bugs emerged from God knows where, and they quickly crawled across the ground towards the robot in the center. Everything where those things went disappeared into the sea of bugs, including flesh, blood, metal debris, and... The weapons all disappeared into the black tide.
Those mechanical bugs gathered on the remains of the robot in the center. They climbed onto the robot's body. Almost instantly, the robot's limbs and entire body completely disappeared under the dense swarm of bugs. The bugs gathered together, and gradually gathered together. It expanded, enlarged and reshaped into a huge shadow, a shadow that enveloped Vito, Kenobi, and most of the hall.
"We call this thing Annihilation Nano. It has been used to clean the world controlled by the Eldar and their allies before. I have seen it a few times. Their effect is quite good, in terms of cleaning effect." Vito said, holding up the cup. Taking out the rifle in his hand, Kenobi looked at the huge silhouette that stood up, covering them and everything around them. He was forced to raise his head, looking up at the shadow of the huge mechanical bug that blocked the lights at the top of the entire hall.
"It seems that this weapon that was supposed to deal with aliens ended up being aimed at humans." "Check."
Vito cursed and pointed his gun at the bulging shadow. Kenobi looked side by side at the high black wall, the huge black shadow composed of countless decomposing nanoworms, that shadow It spread out a few fingers, like a huge palm, and then, it patted down.
