Forty thousand years later, he became a god in the warp

Chapter 378 Zerg Titan is about to arrive

When the warm sun, representing hope, finally shines on the burning city-state, the first to enjoy the warmth are the soldiers from the Empire. At the same time, the surviving Tau people also see a true angel.

The Space Marines and Astra Militarum entered the city-state and cleared out the remaining Zerg. The Tau watched the troops enter the city like a candle in the wind and set up positions in the ruins.

In the moment of despair, it was humans who helped them overcome the difficulties. Ordinary Tau people might be able to accept this feeling, but the Fire Caste warriors who were covered in wounds were speechless.

"It's alright, warriors, you are the bearers of the Greater Good, and without the human troops we would all die.

But without you, every blade of grass, every brick, every tile of the Water City, and every common person would have died at the hands of the insect swarm. You are the real heroes! You are the ones we should admire!"

He Li waved his burned arms hoarsely and shouted while standing on the collapsed wall. He tried his best to uphold the beliefs of the Titanium people, even if those humans looked at him with contempt.

The Salamander's think tank tried to use psychic power to find Lin Heng's location, but apart from being able to sense the remnants of Lin Heng's psychic power here, knowing more, they developed an intuition of danger.

"This is not a solution. We can't locate the opponent at all."

"Then let's use the dumbest method. Go and divide two companies to inquire about the situation and see if they can get any information about Lin Heng." The Star Army officer waved his hand.

"You know him? Where did you see him?"

The soldiers pointed at the pictures on the parchment scrolls or the images on the holographic projections and asked in the broken Tau language, but the only answer they got was a slow and stiff shake of the head.

"Look... his name is Lin Heng..."

The survivors were disheartened. Looking at the devastated city, turbid tears dripped from the corners of their eyes. Unfortunately, their cries were crushed and shattered by the rumbling sound of the tanks.

"Brothers! Fellow countrymen! Don't panic. Fuyi.Po is not over yet. We still have a chance. Pick up weapons and fight for your surviving loved ones! Fight for your dead relatives! Fight for your own tomorrow! Don't... cough cough... don't give up!"

"Hey! Stop yelling... See... this... Lin Heng... know?"

He Li covered his dry throat and forced his dizzy head to look at the scroll unfolded by the human officer. The portrait on it instantly locked his eyes.

"Human..what are you doing with him?"

"You can speak the Imperial language. It seems that you are also a high-level Tau. Answer my question. Have you seen the human in the picture?"

He Li was not sure about the other party's purpose, but since he was a human being and did not look like those fallen people, he must have come for Lin Heng.

"I can only ask you to let these poor Tau people go."

As soon as the trembling voice came out, seven or eight fierce Space Marines rushed towards the other side, shouting and yelling in the crowd. Fortunately, He Li could understand human language, otherwise this kind of fierce pressure alone would scare the average Tau to death.

"Lin Heng, I know him. He helped us kill the insects and then flew away to the east. He also healed my arm. I am very grateful to him. If you have the chance, thank him for me."

The Salamander Librarian took off his helmet, revealing his charred face, and then nodded to the alien enemy:

"I promise you that."

He then turned to the Astra Militarum officers and told them to station there and provide a meal to the surviving Tau people.

He Li did not thank him for his kindness, and the think tank nodded again and left quickly. Then the news was reported layer by layer, and the subsequent legions began to deploy to the east of Water City. As time went on, more and more reliable news gradually narrowed the scope to within a hundred kilometers.

A large number of planes and tanks were speeding across the ruined continent, and the Inquisitors, who had dealt with the Zerg fleet, also landed safely at this moment.

The door of the Thunderhawk fighter opened, and the one who greeted everyone was the Ether Mentor An. Lagon who arrived earlier.

At this moment, all the guards around the opponent had been taken down by the killing warriors. One of the guys from the Space Wolves was still baring his fangs and sniffing the opponent's scent, as if he was going to bite someone in the next second.

"It smells bad."

"Why don't you let us kill those guards?"

"Kill them?"

"Inquisitor Clark feels that they are still useful. After all, the real hive tentacles have not arrived yet. Making enemies with them now will only make the swarm stronger."

"It's annoying just to watch. My knife reacted when you got so close."

"Why don't we just find Lin Heng and retreat immediately? Let the two alien forces kill each other, and then we can wait until both of us get hurt before we attack."

"I agree, but I'd rather rip its intestines out and use them as a skipping rope."

The Space Marines used the strategic channel to communicate and joke with each other, and Clark had to take off his helmet in order not to laugh out loud.

Looking at the Ether Master in front of her, whose clothes were disheveled but still maintained her dignity, she waved her hand to signal the Space Marines to leave.

"I am Fuyi Perether..."

"Hand over Lin Heng and your planet will not be destroyed. Everything else is bullshit."

A. Lagong pursed his lips and lowered his head, taking a deep breath to adjust his mentality. Since he came here, he knew that he would have to live under someone else's roof, but it was really hard to accept it psychologically when he really faced it.

"Okay, Lin Heng's last known location is 35km to the north. There are many mountains nearby, and the terrain is complex..."

"Take him with you, and mobilize the troops immediately."

Hundreds of thousands of steel armies crushed the remaining Zerg, and the wall formed by the steel torrent made the Ether Mentor ashamed.

With the dual push from the sky and the ground, everyone soon reached the mountains and looked at the dense tracks of insects on the ground. In less than twenty minutes, twelve or thirteen large tunnels were discovered.

Many think tanks have also expressed that they have sensed residual psychic reactions, but the results of divination are not clear. The sense of crisis is like a sword hanging over one's head, and one will be beheaded if one gets one step closer.

"Looking at the situation here, this must be a tunnel leading to the hive. Did the swarm take him away?"

Judge Clark was speaking when she glanced at the silent Belvis. Belvis lightly touched the helmet communicator and said with pale lips:

"Lin Heng is indeed inside and is still alive. As the think tanks said, his situation is very dangerous. We need to go deep into the insect nest as soon as possible to bring him back."

Clark glanced at the tunnels littered with Zerg remains, and the area occupied by more than a dozen tunnels. He thought that the size of this Zerg nest would be so huge that it might even reach more than ten kilometers underground.

After all, absorbing biomass on the surface of the planet is just a drop in the bucket. The real source of energy still comes from geothermal energy inside the planet. Once the biomass pool boils, the planet is no longer worth saving and the extinction order can be thrown away.

"Lin Heng has been helping you study the shadow of the insect nest?"

"It doesn't count, we..."

"Could it be that Lin Heng risked his life alone to stop the Queen of Insects? This is not as simple as killing a few insects, and there is no such kind-hearted person...

Is he kind?" Clark asked Belvis.

The other party exhaled slowly, as if he was lost in memories. After a while, he nodded and said, "If he hasn't changed..." (Chapter 150, helping Old Chat to get military merit)

"Tsk... you're crazy. In this damn world, kindness is the first thing to be discarded... I won't say more. I'll have plenty of time to get to know him when I find him again. The Astra Militarum has set up positions around the mountain area to prevent the scattered insect swarms from returning and protect the hive.

The mission to search for Lin Heng inside the hive was undertaken by the Space Marines, and the ammunition was provided by the Deathwatch. Large refined promethium flamethrowers, mainly infernal bombs specially made for the Zerg, and supplemented by Kraken armor-piercing bombs to deal with high-armor units.

Remember, once you find Lin Heng, send his location immediately through the strategic channel, and everyone should go to help immediately. Don't linger in the battle. It doesn't matter whether the Queen of Fate Bugs is dead or not. The important thing is to bring Lin Heng back first."

"Yes!"

The army marched through the mountains, crossing the hills and setting up positions. A total of 1400 Space Marines from six regiments were divided into fourteen companies, ready to go deep into the Zerg nest through different tunnels.

At the beginning, within a few hundred meters, the six major regiments said that they found no signs of Zerg activity, not even their remains, as if they had only opened up tunnels, but no Zerg were born.

Such a strange situation made everyone speculate that something unimaginable might be happening inside the hive. Everyone kept this idea in mind and continued to move towards the underground world.

When the depth of the nest reaches two kilometers, the surrounding environment becomes very hot. The very thin air carries a very strong smell of sulfur. The temperature of around 50 degrees Celsius really makes it impossible for ordinary soldiers to fight here for a long time.

"Obsidian Cheetah reached three kilometers underground, the temperature reached about 75 degrees, and the swarm's tunnel became wider and wider."

"The 6th Company of Death Watch discovered the remains of the Zerg. After comparison, it seems to be the remains of the Hive Tyrant. It is not ruled out that it is the rebirth of the Tyrant that died in the previous position."

"The Howling Griffin encountered a small-scale insect swarm attack, but the enemy did not want to fight and seemed to be fighting us in a state of escape."

Each regiment had its own discoveries, and the two Inquisitors on the ground were also using this intelligence to judge the situation under the hive. Just when they thought things would continue to go smoothly, the Zerg Titans at a depth of about five kilometers underground began to roar.

"Damn it! The Second Salamander Company was attacked by a swarm of insects led by two intestinal beetles. Two people died!"

"The 3rd Company of the Ultramarines was attacked by a swarm of Zerg led by the Tyrannoids. The firepower was strong and there were casualties."

"The Carcharodon encountered a Tyranid Titan Unit Killer. Damn, this guy has to be 40 meters long!"

"The Obsidian Cheetah encountered a large swarm of insects led by three evil insects. The team was delayed and temporarily stopped going deeper."

"It's the four evil feeders... the howling griffins... who are being attacked by the psychic bug team... the signal..."

"All six Death Watch companies were besieged by large units of different Zerg swarms, including neuron worms, sickle worms, brain worms...squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Each chapter company was attacked to varying degrees, and real-time images were looping on dozens of large screens in the battlefield command post. Every time the signal was disconnected, it meant the death of a precious Space Marine.

The various battle groups could only fight on their own, using all their means, and they used their best skills. Various artifacts appeared one after another, and the holy objects they brought all shone brightly.

The plasma ejected by the super-large plasma combustion furnace is one meter square. Even a unit as strong as a Titan cannot withstand a few of them. The thick shell melts instantly, and the exposed holes become targets for everyone to shoot.

The heavy six-barreled rapid-fire cannon with an ammunition flail spewed out nearly 200 rounds of Kraken armor-piercing shells per second. The Zerg swarm was hit with a "puff, puff, puff" sound, and the chitinous carapace of the basic Tyranids could not resist the attack of the Kraken armor-piercing shells. Some of them even went straight through the target and hit the Tyranid units behind the target.

"Tell the Terminator companies on the ships to get ready, have the technical sergeants wake up the sleeping Dreadnoughts, and send 28 servitor squadrons to deliver ammunition and weapons to the companies below the nest."

When Clark issued the order, he nodded to Belvis, who immediately understood and ordered the Grey Knights, who were not supposed to appear in front of the world, to prepare for battle.

The gray thunder eagle fell from the clouds into the mountains. At the same time, in the underground insect nest where the sound of "bang bang" continued, the transmission beacons installed by the companies suddenly burst into beautiful light.

"Fong! Fong! Fong! Fong!"

It was as if hearing heavenly music and suddenly the ears were cleared. The Terminators stepped out in the teleporting light, and with them were the ancient fearless mechas. As soon as they appeared, they rushed in violently, making the already hot cave even warmer.

"Deathwatch Terminator Company has arrived."

"Ultramarines Tyranid Killer Squad has arrived."

"The Salamander Dreadnought has arrived."

"The Great White Shark Ankshir has arrived."

The war was triggered again, and both sides were putting all their forces into strangling the other side. With the brave advancement of the Space Marines, the depth of the Zerg nest was dug deeper and deeper. The deaths of hundreds of soldiers created the feat of 8 kilometers underground.

However, due to the influence of the temperature exceeding 400 degrees Celsius, only the Salamanders can reach this depth, and the rest are mostly around 6 to 7 kilometers.

But even so, the group still failed to explore the bottom nest of the hive, even though the converging tunnels showed that the distance was very close. Except for the Terminators and Dreadnoughts, even the Space Marines could not fight fiercely for several hours in such a harsh environment.

Several companies that had gathered together were discussing their opinions when they suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from the tunnel behind them. Everyone quickly raised their guns and became alert.

But when a group of special terminators, the Grey Knights with psychic light shining all over their bodies showed up, the soldiers blocking the road lowered their guards and slowly made way for the other side.

The Grey Knights were silent, seemingly ignoring everyone. The heavy psychic pressure told everyone that they were the embodiment of danger, but there were also some foolish people among the Space Marines.

The Obsidian Cheetah Company did not have the strong foundation of the other chapters, and was somewhat passive when encountering the Zerg Titan. If they had not encountered the Carcharodon that was difficult to communicate with during the defense and evacuation process, their company's damage would have exceeded one-third.

Cold, ruthless, and iron-blooded, but the most important thing is the Terminator in the shadows... They know that guy is there, but they have never seen his figure clearly.

Now, perhaps because they felt that everyone was fighting desperately, these newcomers wanted to snatch the fruits of the battle, which made the man-eating shark warriors who relied on their military exploits to improve their wealth a little unhappy, so they stepped forward to block the road.

The Grey Knights said nothing, but simply lit up the blades of their halberds, and the psychic wind even alleviated the heat around them.

Just when the Obsidian Cheetah's think tank felt the atmosphere was tense and wanted to step forward to communicate, a huge monster in the shadows appeared in the crowd.

The other party was 4 meters tall, and his armor seemed to be modified from the Contemptor Dreadnought and the Iron Cavalry Terminator. Looking at his huge body and the giant armor he had never seen before, he felt even more oppressive standing in the crowd than the Grey Knights.

The warrior named Ankhil pushed his men away, and the leader of the Grey Knights on the opposite side also waved his hand to signal to let down his guard.

"I've heard a little bit about it. You can come with us."

The tit-for-tat situation ended here, and the Obsidian Cheetah and the Great Shark watched the group slowly leave.

"Huh, they are all tough guys. Is that guy famous?" asked the Cheetah's think tank.

The man-eating sharks looked around, and then one of them said with a smile:

"You have a nice gun in your hand."
