Chapter 698 Don’t come over
Chagatai rode Wangcai No. 2 to a huge cave entrance. The cave entrance was huge and deep, leading directly to the depths of the ground.
Sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and other gases spew out of the hole.
This is a way for the Tyranids to influence the planet's climate. These bugs particularly like the stuffy and suffocating air.
Chagatai asked Wangcai No. 2 to stand still and went down from the cave entrance.
The glass tunnel shines brightly in the lights on Jaghatai's armor. These are all good things done by Tyranids.
The deeper it gets, the hotter it gets. Vitrified tunnels are spread throughout the Homolovich discontinuity between the crust and the mantle. Chagatai's forehead also sheds a drop or two of sweat due to discomfort.
If he was willing to wear a helmet, he could be well isolated from the heat underground, but for Khan, the closed feeling of the helmet was much more uncomfortable than the heat.
Khan has a beautiful beard and a rather coquettish Chogorian braid.
He needs to control his beard and hair every time he wears a helmet, which is very troublesome.
Several roars came from a curved glass tunnel. Chagatai knew that Lin Fan was around, so he hurried over.
This is a huge empty room. The glass dome shines red under the light of the magma lake, and the hot wind that burns the flesh pushes outwards.
Lin Fan was at the edge of the lake, holding down a huge insect and burying his head into the magma again and again.
Magma Core Beasts are a kind of bug specially designed to dig down sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks. Their whole body is wrapped in psychic energy that allows them to easily destroy all materials and thrive in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
"Is it these things that caused the gas explosion in the basin?" Chagatai asked from a distance, and Lin Fan nodded and answered, "It was these things that caused the instability of the geological structure, volcanic eruptions, and gas explosions in the basin."
"Then what are you doing now?"
"I'll try to see if I can drown this thing. I'm quite curious about this. The empire has very little research on magma core beasts. Basically, there is only one name recorded in the files."
After Lin Fan said this, he pressed the magma core beast's head, which was raised with difficulty, into the magma again.
"The insect swarm is beginning to retreat. Stop playing." Chagatai said helplessly.
"Retreating? That's alright, we're going to kill the Norn Queen." Lin Fan neatly chopped off the limbs of the magma core beast, then dragged his tail and rushed to the ground with Jaghatai.
The magma core beast was handed over to the soldiers of the Tau Empire and sent to the Earth Tribe Research Institute for research.
Lin Fan and Chagatai boarded the Void Phoenix fighter plane to pursue the retreating Hive Fleet.
Huge biological ships formed a group, and the center of their protection was the Norn Queen.
They sensed the location of the Void Phoenix fighter and released living bombs and biochemical plasma in an attempt to destroy the Void Phoenix fighter in the void.
"Just come close so that I can see the largest hive mothership, and then you just retreat."
"OK."
Elafren controlled the Void Phoenix fighter plane, doddling around in the rain of bullets. When he encountered an attack that he could not dodge, he temporarily sneaked into the webway, and then reappeared in the real universe after counting a few times silently.
The swarm of insects trembled restlessly as they moved closer to the stars in the galaxy, trying to escape from this place using gravity jumps.
Elafren once again used the webway to travel and appeared at a tricky corner. The moment the edge of the hive mothership appeared in everyone's sight, Lin Fan's spear came out.
Watching the Void Phoenix disappear among the swarms of insects, Lin Fan also focused on the insect nest mothership.
Leather-like skin, hundreds of meters of chitin armor, and necrotic fibrous tissue constitute the defense of the hive mothership.
This living battleship has gone through a long period of growth, repair, and upgrading during its years of combat.
The mothership's outer shell also looked pitted, with scars and pods everywhere. Many insects came out of the holes. Their feet hooked on the outer shell of the mothership and they rushed towards Lin Fan.
Without paying too much attention to these little bugs, Lin Fan skillfully dug holes under his feet and tore open the mothership's thick shell layer by layer.
He picked up the edge of a piece of carapace and jerked it upwards. The piece of carapace detached from the mothership, revealing the white and reddish necrotic fibrous tissue underneath.
Tear open fibrous tissue, and huge blood vessels.
Lin Fan, bathed in corrosive blood, stood in the cavity of the mothership and saw bugs coming from all directions.
Genestealers lurk in the gaps between ceilings and piles of flesh, their claws capable of tearing through a Terminator's armor.
What a picture of despair.
If a group of Space Marines were responsible for decapitating the Norn Queen of the zerg swarm, they would have two ways to complete the breakthrough.
The first type of breakthrough is established under the cover of friendly forces. In the chaos of the war, the Space Marine warships will break through the blockade of the insect swarm, and launch torpedoes onto the mothership despite the consequences of heavy damage or even destruction of the warships.
The Space Marines who came down from the torpedoes need to survive the traps and the siege of countless insects, break through step by step, and find the location of the Norn Queen.
Another way is to rely on the psychic transmission of the Chapter's think tank and lock the position of the Norn Queen against the psychic blockade of the Hive Mind.
But no matter what, the Space Marines have to face the extremely stressful insect swarm offensive.
The bugs' melee weapons can all break armor with the blessing of psychic energy. The number of bugs is more than the ammunition reserve of the entire battle group. The bugs' elite units can suppress the veterans of the Space Marines. The bugs' psychic units can easily evaporate the war. The psychic power of Tuan Think Tank.
Even if the Space Marines succeed in killing the Queen, they will feel powerless in front of the Queen's powerful force.
As the leader of the Hive Fleet, the master of gene shaping, and the terminal interface of the Hive Will, how could Queen Norn be without combat power?
She will evolve specifically during the time when the Space Marines attack, making her defense comparable to that of a Titan.
The Space Marines will be pressed to the ground by Queen Norn's psychic power, unable to move, until a Space Marine who is pious and brave enough shouts in the desperate battle: For the Emperor.
Then the Emperor casts his eyes and blesses, and the Space Marines who are in a state of despair break through the heavy defenses laid by Queen Norn and kill this powerful and cunning beast.
Then the fleets are scattered and each fights for itself. The Empire won the victory after paying a huge sacrifice, and the next step is to send fleets to continuously clean up the fleeing Zerg.
The Zerg was wiped out bit by bit, and the Genestealers they left behind took root deep in the hive, hissing and waiting for the next attack.
But now, it is not the Space Marines who are desperate, but Queen Norn who is desperate.
"What is that?"
