Chapter 326 Return to Reality
"Caroline!!!"
Lin Heng's roar was so loud that it shook the earth and mountains. The roar, which was blended with spiritual energy, resounded between the metal walls like ultrasound.
There was a series of crackling sounds, and sparks immediately flew from the instruments in the room. Rows of chandeliers exploded and the room was plunged into darkness.
The Emperor had said before that Caroline was not dead, so that must be due to some kind of precognition of psychic powers.
It's just that I haven't really thought about him recently, so why do I see his image now...
"Besides, it seems like a conversation. Who is she talking to, and who am I playing?"
Lin Heng felt that his mind was very confused. Although he couldn't figure out the previous situation, Lin Heng was even more confused about the current situation.
The scene he saw in the blink of an eye just now seemed familiar, but it was not the scene in the mountain base, so he raised his arms to let the spiritual energy attach and burn.
The blazing fire illuminated the dark room. As Lin Heng increased the release of his psychic energy, a room that looked like a maintenance station of the Mechanicus was revealed.
The diffuse dust and old equipment made it look like an abandoned scientific research station. As the light shone on it, the face of Trazyn appeared.
"..."
"How is the base? What happened behind!"
Trazyn did not answer directly, but poked the machine with the black and white skull of the Mechanicus with his scepter and said:
"Shameless thing, can you imagine that you are sleeping soundly in your own home, but you are suddenly awakened by a series of banging sounds.
You open the door and find a bunch of mentally retarded heretics frantically dismantling the door frame, and when they see you they show shocked but fanatical expressions?
I know a few little ones who managed to survive the most difficult period, but when they opened their eyes, they did not get the happiness of returning to their bodies, but the torture of being dismantled like objects..."
Lin Heng could roughly guess what the other party meant. It seemed that he had a strong prejudice against the Mechanicus.
After much thought, it was probably the Order's enthusiasm for machinery that led to the digging up of the Necrons' home. Although it was a bit inhumane, one should be humane in treating aliens.
He felt that the other party was noisy because he could not share the same sorrow and joy. Therefore, it was better to rely on oneself than on others. After Lin Heng checked himself and found that there was no problem, he activated the "Astral Vision" and released his spiritual energy to sense the surrounding environment.
After a round of exploration, Lin Heng was basically certain that this was indeed an underground smelting plant abandoned by the monastery, so he put his hands together and placed his index fingers on his temples.
The psychic energy flowing under his dark eyelids gradually revealed an unclear picture. This was the psychic skill taught to him by the two priests.
A kind of "foreknowledge" from the prophecy system, or it is more like a judgment, a distinction, choosing an "option" in an environment where there is no clue and getting the answer you want in your heart.
Lin Heng opened his eyes and looked at the broken pipe. Then flames spurted out from under his feet and he flew into the pipe.
But this grandson of Taraxin had no intention of letting him go. He appeared beside Lin Heng with a flash of green light, as if jumping out from another dimension.
Lin Heng activated the "Uncertain Imbalance" and used inertia to drill through the collapsed area, and Taraxin, who had just appeared, appeared again.
"But I tell you, although you took this step very cleverly, the Adeptus Mechanicus is not a pushover. If they can really become independent from the empire, their foundation will not be something that the new generation like the Tau can look up to.
Moreover, the reason why the Empire is a double-headed eagle is because one of the heads represents the Adeptus Mechanicus. Such a huge organization must have various categories within it.
Their arrival may not be better than those shit-like demons, they may be worse. Well, none of them are good..."
Lin Heng listened silently to Taraxin's words. He had already prepared himself mentally for this situation. Moreover, those were things for the future. What he should focus on right now was finding the main force.
"You said they didn't understand it, but they were still trying to load it onto their ship, but they didn't even know what it was.
I searched six pumice towers in one go. Hahaha, it really made me laugh.. Although I didn't have the heart. But putting the enemy's portal in your own home is really funny and efficient.
A group of ordinary people who want to explore the power of science and technology... have no idea that the real power has already been capped. It takes thousands of years to study an STC, so what use are these six or seven days?"
Taraxin muttered as he jumped into the high-dimensional space again. Even if Lin Heng strengthened his "psychic detection", he could not find any clues about the other party.
But now he at least understood the passage of time. He didn't expect that such a short dream would take so long. He didn't know if it was because of the time chaos in the subspace or something else. Anyway, the reinforcements should have arrived.
Imagine the situation of the reinforcements, the troops of two Space Marine Chapters, plus a large number of Astra Militarum and Navy, and the most critical Mechanicus, the scale of this battle is getting bigger and bigger.
I really don't know what the situation is now, how many reinforcements there are, and whether the Death Guards also know that the strategy is difficult and their offensive momentum is weaker.
After climbing more than ten kilometers, Lin Heng finally broke out of the earth's crust. While enjoying the scorching sun, he sighed that he had finally gotten rid of the rumbling tremors of the earth.
But suddenly, Lin Heng figured out two things. First, the scorching sun in front of him was not a real star. Second, the rumbling tremors were not the movement of the plates in the earthquake belt.
"BOOM!"
The Tau operator widened his eyes and craned his neck to look at the seeker missile that suddenly exploded in the tube, thinking that he had not set the program for air-destruction.
The Imperial tank squad several kilometers away also noticed the situation here and turned their guns to fire at the locations marked by the Machine Soul.
The 120mm smoothbore gun fired standard Limanras MK12G4 shells, and its absolute armor-piercing ability instantly shattered the mountains.
The shattered rocks clanged onto the Tianyu boat, and the captain immediately cursed the situation.
"Damn it, those humans noticed the situation here, and evacuated quickly after failing to intercept."
The gunner's confused and angry voice sounded in the headset. Their position had been exposed after failing to hit the enemy once, and it would not be so easy to attack the enemy again.
"Understood. Retreat immediately... Yes! Something's happening! There's something going on inside the fireball!"
The Ray Squad was about to evacuate and prepare to ambush the Tank Squad at the next location, but in the gunner's telescope, a line of fire shot towards them from the gradually extinguished fireball.
The AI immediately focused on the creature that suddenly appeared, and the strange creature with flames all over its body appeared on the helmet panels of the crew of the Manta ray missile ship.
"It's that damn deceiver. Launch the missiles! Send the "Chosen One" signal. The Ether Master will surely sing praises for our bravery!"
The Tianyu missile ship, which was about to evacuate, immediately turned its bow after seeing Lin Heng's appearance, and "whoosh" launched a seeker missile to intercept the opponent.
"F*ck! It's Angel Lin Heng, the person the higher-ups have been looking for. Hahaha, quickly contact the rear positions. It will be a great achievement if we find him!"
The commander of the Lemanus Conqueror tank in the middle laughed and told everyone to immediately assist the angels, and quickly fired cannons to put pressure on the missile ship.
Both sides watched Lin Heng crash headfirst into the missile. With a mixture of surprise and joy, Lin Heng simply opened his arms and pointed his chest towards the missile.
Everyone watched as the missile disappeared into Lin Heng's body like a drop in the ocean, as if a door had opened in Lin Heng's chest and the missile flew straight in.
Lin Heng did open a door in his chest, and the missile flew directly into the subspace crack.
The Tau gunner wanted to detonate it directly, but he kept clicking on the screen and heard the AI's voice indicating disconnection.
"Incredible!" said the tank squad commander.
"The Greater Good...keep firing!" said the Tau captain.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Missiles were launched in droves. This time, Lin Heng chose to avoid the battle and dived directly into the ground. The missiles exploded "boom, boom, boom" above his head but did not affect him at all.
The Tau gunner quickly turned the scope to observe the smoke-filled ground, but all he got from the AI was an alert that the target had disappeared.
"Retreat! We can't handle this. Only the more flexible XV10 combat suit can counter it."
The captain adjusted the system on the panel, and the ship immediately ejected more than two dozen flash-guided bombs to interfere with the tank team's artillery fire.
Then he pushed the gear lever with both hands to activate the engine. A flame with seven or eight Mach rings spurted out, and with a rumbling sound, he was about to leave this place.
But after only two seconds of climbing, the AI's alarm and the missile boat's explosion sounded together.
With a loud "bang", the entire missile ship shook. The Tau captain grabbed the lever to control the unbalanced missile ship. He turned around to look at the place where the impact occurred and found that the deck had turned orange.
At the same time, AI automatically activated fire-fighting measures, spraying out biting cold air, but the orange-red did not fade but became brighter.
There was another "puff" sound, and the molten iron splashed all over the sky. It dripped onto the electronic equipment and immediately melted through the screen, causing a fire.
But this is not the point at all. In the melted hole, a horrible creature with only half a body crawled out. Its flames were as scary as those smelly creatures.
"Shoot it!"
The captain roared, and the crew members quickly drew their guns to fight the enemy, but just the moment they lowered their heads, their heads exploded with a "bang".
Ten minutes later, the tank team finally arrived at the crash site, and saw a huge angel wiping the blood from his mouth in the smoke.
The other party frowned and looked as if he was thinking about some mystery of the universe. No one knew what the angel did, and no one wanted to ask what happened.
"Your Excellency Angel, we finally found you. We are soldiers from the Iron Flood Tank Company of the 53th Legion of the Far East Astra Military in the 11rd Sector of the Ultramarine. I am Wilder Eden, the squad commander. I am so happy to see you."
"With the blessing of the God-Emperor...we really found the angel."
"The empire is boundless... Your Excellency the Angel looks so majestic."
Lin Heng nodded slightly in response. He was now concentrating on mobilizing the titanium genes he had just consumed. Although there were only a few words, some of the scenes shown in them made him a little worried.
The Tau warships, bases, and combat uniforms were all upgraded, and large quantities of weapons and equipment were transported to this land.
The current situation can be regarded as a three-way confrontation in terms of power, but from the trivial memories, I feel that the Titanium Clan is still able to fight despite being defeated.
But if you really look through your memories carefully, you will find that they lost more than they won. In fact, they were just constantly interfering in the battle between the Death Guard and the Empire.
It's just that psychologically and emotionally, I still blindly believe that I still have a chance of winning.
"Where are we now?"
Lin Heng looked at the desolate area in the distance, came back to his senses and asked the tank lieutenant.
"Um... approximately 37 kilometers southeast of the damaged mountain base at 3879 degrees."
"so far?"
"Yes, on the one hand it is to find the missing Excellency, and on the other hand it is to deal with those damn aliens and traitors."
Lin Heng sighed. The battle fought by the hundreds of thousands of defenders was already heroic enough, and they usually just gathered in one corner.
Now the radiation area of the battle has reached the continental level, and if he still has a chance to survive... maybe the next time he should fight with a planet as the background.
"What's the current situation at the mountain base? Have the Mechanicus and other reinforcements arrived?"
The commander shook his head and said:
“I’m not sure about that. After we were dropped, we were 1500 kilometers away from the base and we didn’t see the situation over there.
But I heard from above that those rebellious beasts were completely unable to break through the base's defenses, otherwise I don't think we would have deployed them directly to the far side of the base."
Lin Heng thought it made sense and was just about to call the tank team to go back together when he suddenly had a sense of something.
He then looked up at the gloomy sky, extending his psychic energy to no longer cover himself, and then a familiar voice sounded in his mind.
'Finally I found you. I'm glad you're okay. STC is safe. It has now been expanded to Phase 5. Although there are some differences from the plan, they are not unacceptable.
I will send troops to find you. Be prepared. The Tau and Death Guard will definitely be able to detect the movement of the team. We will talk about other things when you come back.'
'Roger that, Reverend.'
Lin Heng grinned and passed the message to the bright moon that echoed in the distance, but his smile soon disappeared because he felt the spying of corruption.
This time it was not the false friendly gesture as before, but an absolute hatred, and the name mentioned by the devil became clear.
"Typhons..."
"Angel, what did you say?"
"Nothing to prepare for departure. Suspend all your tasks and head back to the mountain base."
"understand!"
Xxx pointed his finger at the sky and turned in a circle, and the rest of the tanks immediately turned around and drove away.
Lin Heng gathered his psychic energy and 'transformed' himself into a normal human body shape, casually put on a soldier's uniform stained with oil, picked up a laser rifle and sat next to the barrel, looking very harmonious.
Lin Heng's move surprised everyone, and the joy of completing the mission appeared on the faces of the 15 tank soldiers.
They all discussed how amazing the angel's abilities were, and kept praising them for being the most powerful warriors under the Emperor's throne.
From body size to weapons, from abilities to mentality, they only had respect and admiration for the Space Marines. The others would occasionally glance at Lin Heng through a periscope.
"Just go. It's not like you can't talk about anything with the angel. Just go."
Lin Heng turned slightly and looked at the open hatch at the rear. It was a tank soldier. His shy look made him look younger.
"Your Excellency, I mean Your Excellency, I'm sorry to bother you. I... I didn't bother you, did I?"
Lin Heng roughly knew what the other party wanted to say, and wanted to refuse outright to avoid too much emotional discussion, but the other party's expectant eyes made Lin Heng realize that he was still a human being, not a killing machine.
"I am listening."
"Ah, okay, okay, I mean, I wanted to ask."
A flattered smile appeared on the soldier's face, and he straightened his back a little. After getting the angel's approval, he began to talk nonstop.
"Sir Angel, how did you become an Astartes? I heard from people in other military regions that angels came to recruit, so why don't we have any on our planet?
Your Excellency Angel, I... I am only 22, can I also become an Astartes? I can endure hardships, Commander Wilder Eden said that I am very smart and can do anything! "
Amid the roar of the engine, he could hear the other soldiers' words, and from their envious tones, Lin Heng recalled the pain that only Space Marines could understand.
"Why do you want to become an Astartes?"
The soldier felt extremely honored and immediately jumped out of the hatch and said:
"I saw the might of the Flesh Tearers. They seemed to have no fear. Even when facing enemies that were several times their number, they dared to activate their chainsaw swords and rush towards the enemy.
There is also the Blood Raven Regiment, whose tactical arrangements are almost prophetic, as if they know exactly where the enemy will be and where the enemy's defense is weakest.
They are all extremely powerful warriors, and I hope I can become one of them, Your Excellency Angel, do I still have a chance?"
Lin Heng took a deep breath and looked at the foolish soldier in front of him, thinking that you won't even survive today.
But after thinking about it, he began to understand the meaning of deception. This was probably the reason why the church preached the "Imperial Truth Emperor Worship". So he smiled bitterly and said:
"Come back alive and I'll arrange tests for you."
"Ah, yes! Thank you, Your Excellency the Angel. My name is Van Moore!"
