Mission Objective: Find the Battle Sisters here and cooperate with their mission!

Secondary Objectives: 1. Eliminate all creatures that threaten the mission target;

2. Eliminate all witnesses not on the mission list.

"Are there any questions?" Sura asked.

The mission information has been transmitted to everyone's tactical terminal, and his question is just a formality.

"No!" The four Astartes whispered.

"Then let's go! Target..." Sura looked at the map displayed on his arm and thought of the limited ammunition on his body.

Only one of the two attached airdrop capsules landed successfully, but the location of this airdrop capsule was enough to be ten kilometers away from them.

This is still the straight-line distance...

"Target... Power Well!" Sura thought about it and finally gave up the idea of ​​retrieving ammunition.

And if he only relied on the little ammunition he had, the route he could choose would need to avoid unnecessary battles.

The power well, which was responsible for guiding the reactor energy to the upper layer, had been destroyed by the alien civilization in the first wave of attacks.

And a power well that has stopped working, I guess not many people would focus on it...

"Turn on the auspicious instrument and send a signal every five minutes!

Don't take the initiative to contact the orbit. There is only one backup communication relay station for the spacecraft that will pick us up. The number of signal decryptions it can withstand is limited. Try to use it during evacuation."

Sura explained to the priest behind him, who nodded and began to organize his power armor set.

After giving the instructions, Sura did not stop. He turned around and ordered the two comrades who were responsible for exploring the way:

"Pay attention to the public information channel on the road and the secret words that may appear in it. We must reunite with the combat sisters as soon as possible. The mission leaves us little time."

"Yes!" The two Astartes from different regiments nodded slightly, and then disappeared into the night in front of them in their own way.

Sura took a last look at the state of the priest, and then drew a single molecule dagger from his waist and entered the stealth state.

The team began to explore and move forward along the broken corridor of the tower towards the ground.

During the silent march for several hours, the scenes they passed by ranged from repeatedly gorgeous church-style buildings to exquisite and pragmatic residential areas. From large factories built of steel and machinery to rail stations full of huge beams and rails...

In the dense buildings from top to bottom of the hive city, the Astartes warriors twisted and turned in a few hours and walked dozens of kilometers in different areas.

But in these areas that were once full of human habitation, they only saw traces of sporadic battles occasionally, but did not find any human refugees or their corpses...

"This is not right." Sura thought about the gains along the way while walking.

The warriors responsible for exploration in front still maintained stealth, and the power backpacks on their bodies had already entered the state of consuming batteries.

After eliminating the heat source of the nuclear reactor, their footsteps leaping forward in the dark could not even be seen in the night vision goggles.

And if they had not cooperated for a long time, Sura could not imagine that an Astartes in full gear could actually sneak so silently.

But this did not make him feel relaxed, especially when the green light on his pupils reflected their traces along the way, and there was no news about the expected enemies and friendly forces.

The team took three hours and had traveled nearly 30 kilometers in stealth. (Complex terrain environment, lurking and marching in an unknown state of the enemy, consumes a lot of physical strength and energy, please do not substitute the normal hiking state.)

Until they entered the lower level of the hive city, there was no life sign signal on the auspicious instrument they carried with them.

"Target found, code Ψ."

"Received, alert on the spot." Sura quickened his pace upon hearing the voice, and his comrades beside him hid and alert on the spot according to the regulations.

The distance of 100 meters was reached in an instant. After passing two corners and exchanging glances with another hidden comrade, Sura finally saw the comrade in the front position.

Also following his laser mark, he saw the target marked as "Ψ" in the unit type table - civilians.

"Is that a civilian?"

Sura looked at the figure standing on the sentry post on the steel bridge 200 meters away.

He subconsciously looked down at the auspicious instrument, and indeed found the corresponding life sign signal on it.

That's right. Although the opponent's condition is questionable, both the clothing and body shape meet the standards of humans who have not undergone military training.

But Sura just felt that something was wrong, and this abnormality was like a transparent spike. While making him feel strange, he couldn't find a reasonable reason.

"Can we take a detour?" He looked at his comrades, but got a negative answer.

"No, this is the spare material channel in the middle-level factory area. Among the routes we chose, only this road has a public communication base station behind it. If we take a detour, it may take an hour to find the next one."

"Then prepare for battle." Sura made up his mind, then pulled out the power sword from his waist, checked the battery status, and raised his hand to gesture, sending the battle preparation gesture backwards.

On the high point 200 meters away, two Astartes warriors in position slightly tilted their heads, switched the bolt guns on their waists to synchronize with the eyepiece, and completed the construction of crossfire.

The combat priest picked up the force field weapon in his hand, moved to both sides, expanded the width of the battlefield, and prepared to meet the impact that might occur at any time.

"I'll do it." Sura stopped his comrades with his eyes, stood up and walked to the bridge.

His comrades beside him suppressed their emotions and silently moved to Sura's flank.

The pentagonal battlefield position was opened, and Sura, as the forward, also lowered his steps and walked to the opposite side of the bridge.

"Mortal!" Sura walked to a distance of 30 meters, stopped and called in a low voice.

The figure didn't seem to react to Sura's voice, but showed a strangeness that made him more alert.

A low throat sound and a wheezing sound came from this fragile body, and the staggering steps and unstable body made Sura feel more dangerous.

"Mortal!" Sura frowned and thought, but the answer seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with him.

He couldn't help but raise his voice after thinking hard, and when the figure was finally startled by him and turned around.

He finally got the answer he had always wanted from the other's rotten and twisted face:

"Plague Zombie!"

Update. Recommend a book: "Warhammer: In the Name of the Son of Heaven"

Also, this was actually a recommendation agreed to last month, but due to various reasons, something unexpected happened. I would like to apologize to the author of this book!
