Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 314 05.0313: ‘Rescue in the Water’

‘Warning: It is detected that the body is in an extremely cold area, and the internal circulation temperature adjustment device has reached its maximum power.

The machine soul senses abnormal fluctuations in your body temperature, please leave the extremely cold area quickly! ’

The thermal insulation layer and emergency heating cycle in the power armor protected her from hypothermia and freezing to death in a short period of time. The closed air-tight helmet also prevented the ice-water mixture from choking in her mouth.

But the near-zero body temperature still made her shiver and get goosebumps all over her body.

She knew very well that she had to paddle onto the surface of the lake as soon as possible. Otherwise, with skin temperature around zero, her limbs would become numb and she would eventually lose the ability to move and sink to the bottom of the lake.

One side of the gravity parachute bounced before falling and was completely broken. She could only rely on the backpack with half power to perform emergency refloating.

‘Height from water: 15 meters’

‘Height from water: 10 meters’

‘Height from water: 6 meters’

[Soon, soon! ]

She bit her lower lip, which was gradually losing consciousness. The color of her lips was turning as blue as her eyes. She slid upwards with all her strength, trying to make up for the missing power with standard swimming postures.

But the planet's gravity dragged her along, making it seem like she was dragging a lead ball under her feet. The damaged gravity backpack not only couldn't help, but became a burden.

‘Height from water: 8 meters’

[The distance becomes farther...]

She sank two meters after just half a beat of slow paddling.

She had to force herself to paddle faster, but the intense underwater movement soon made her hips and arms feel strangely sore.

'Warning: You are hypothermic, please leave the danger area as soon as possible'

'Warning: high cold temperature, -22 degrees. To ensure normal operation, emergency heating has been enabled for the gravity parachute equipment, and the energy margin is 41%'

Louise did not give up a glimmer of hope and struggled upwards, but things went against her wishes. Her limbs wrapped in power armor became heavier and heavier. The cold and soreness gradually cut off her perception of her limbs. For a moment, she even I can't feel anything except my rolling eyes.

Then, even breathing became laborious.

‘Height from water: 10 meters’

‘Height from water: 12 meters’

‘Height from water: 15 meters’

His hands and feet seemed to have turned into ice sculptures and fell into the abyss below, but his brain still did not give up and conveyed the signal of beating. The numbers on the depth meter on the screen in front of him became larger and larger.

Gradually, in the eyepiece that gradually dimmed due to the continuous descent and the decreasing light, she seemed to see traces of deadly and beautiful amethyst spreading like a spider web in the pupils.

Best of all, she saw a huge black shadow getting closer and closer, but her slow brain and eyes could no longer identify what it was. She could only perceive the warning red light in front of the eyepiece that continued to flash.

'Warning: Approaching large predatory creature detected. ’

Louise tried to use her numb limbs to pick up the Hell Carbine in front of her, but the severe hypothermia completely shattered her last struggle. The body wrapped in power armor only twitched slightly for a moment, and then continued to move naturally. sinking,

[Sorry, Horatio, I'm holding everyone back...]

In the last corner of her vision, she saw another black shadow, a human-shaped black shadow with an iron halo shining brightly behind it.

"Louise, hold on, I just swore today that I will take you to the moon, don't let me break my promise." His firm and anxious voice came from the communicator in her ear.

Horatio dove into the water, shivering at the freezing temperature.

'Warning: It has been detected that the body is in an extremely cold area. The internal circulation temperature adjustment device has reached its maximum power. The machine soul senses abnormal fluctuations in your body temperature. Please leave the extremely cold area quickly! ’

Immediately afterwards, the warning window popped up in front of his eyepiece.

'Activate: Power Fist'

‘Power overload: Overloaded, emergency heating in progress. ’

He maximized the power of his iron hand at once and threw out all the stored energy.

Soon, the water near him began to evaporate, and countless bubbles briefly appeared.

The temperature of the surrounding water began to rise. Although it was only a dozen degrees, it kept his body at least at a level where he would not freeze.

He rowed hard towards the water and saw a 30-meter-long, deformed and ugly eight-eyed catfish swimming towards Louise.

The monster opened its huge mouth full of fine serrations, and the water drove the immobile Louise toward its mouth.

Horatio's iron hand flashed with blood, and the Holy Blood Chain Sword appeared. With the help of the gravity umbrella, he rushed towards the strange fish.

Buzz!

He grasped the handle of the chain sword with both hands and thrust the rapidly rotating saber teeth into the monster fish's fat head. The fish shut up in pain.

For a moment, blood dyed the surrounding water red, and the eight-eyed fish swayed violently, its huge body stirring up strong waves of water.

Horatio did not hesitate to fight, quickly avoided the impact, dived at high speed, and held Louise in his arms while she was still sinking.

The information from the power armor indicated that the wearer's body had entered protective shock, but at least she still had vital signs.

The strange fish rushed towards him again. Horatio swung his chain sword. Although it was difficult to swing, he used the underwater maneuverability of the gravity umbrella to rise and fall dexterously and got under the belly of the strange fish.

He raised his sword and started the sawtooth, stabbing into the fish's belly. Then, the gravity parachute was running at full power, pushing Horatio forward.

Wherever he passed, blood clumps exploded. The furious machine soul drove the rapidly rotating single-molecule sawtooth, drawing a line of death on the fish's belly, completely disemboweling the fish.

Several black shadows appeared from all around. Horatio gripped the hilt of the sword. He really couldn't understand how prosperous and lush the ecosystem in the lake of this agricultural world was to feed these behemoths.

‘Warning: Gravity backpack energy reserves 20%’

Just as a strange fish rushed towards Horatio, the wreckage of the Valkyrie fighter completely melted the ice layer where it was, and the entire body completely sank into the water, hitting the charging strange fish and taking it deeper into the water.

"Maid K2B17, detected that the organic individual master is in a level 1 life risk, immediately respect the preset protection agreement."

A maid robot servant emerged from the rear cabin of the machine body. It was the one Horatio accidentally activated at that time.

This robot servant was not affected by the extreme cold at all. It shuttled flexibly underwater without any protection, attracting the attention of the strange fish and covering his evacuation.

Horatio seized the opportunity and accelerated up with Louise.

——

A few minutes later, on the ice.

"Huh!" Horatio lifted Louise onto the ice with his left hand wrapped in power armor.

The iron hand on the right was steaming white steam, clamping the body of a small strange fish, and threw it directly on the ice.

Then, he climbed the ice with both hands, did a push-up, and got out of the water.

A smaller strange fish jumped out of the water, opened its huge mouth that could accommodate a person, and wanted to swallow him into its belly.

"Fuck you!" Horatio, who had already sat on the ice, gritted his teeth, twisted his waist and swung his legs, kicked the fish head with his power iron boots, and kicked the strange fish back into the water.

The body of the strange fish vomited a bloody package and fell beside him.

That was the field camp bag he carried, which contained an insulated sleeping bag and some necessary supplies for survival.

Then the maid robot covered in mucus was also vomited out with a large pool of blood.

"The risk is temporarily lifted, and the alert agreement is being implemented."

The maid robot covered in catfish blood stood up shakily, and her neck rotated mechanically.

The maid's clothes were stained with blood and were in tatters. There was also porcelain-like white skin exposed between the stains, and the inhuman feeling when moving, making this robot look like a haunted mansion doll in some horror movies.

This was the product of Father Lati's personal hobby. Anyway, Horatio couldn't understand the logic of designing the robot to be so like a real person. The uncanny valley effect it caused had already given him a lot of mental shock.

He held Louise in one hand, dragged the camp bag and the catfish carcass with the other hand, and walked away in the wind and snow.

——

After an unknown amount of time, Louise slowly opened her eyes.

She woke up, or more precisely, she woke up from the cold.

She moved her hands and feet subconsciously, and found that her limbs had regained consciousness. She was now lying in a fairly warm sleeping bag, with the crackling of a campfire, waves of heat coming from her, and... the aroma of food.

Her belly made a loud gurgling sound.

This indecent sound instantly gave her pale cheeks a hint of blood.

She slowly sat up, and the power armor and the three-layer defense layer soaked in water had been removed and placed aside. At this time, she only had a layer of underwear on her body, which was still a little damp.

Then, a gust of cold wind blew in her face, causing her, who was still wet, to shiver and sneeze.

"What a coincidence! You woke up just after this kebab was grilled. You must be hungry." Horatio's clear voice came with a relaxed and teasing tone.

As her brain gradually became clear, she slowly turned her head and looked at the young man sitting by the fire.

A sense of shyness surged into Louise's heart along with Horatio's teasing, making her face, which had recovered its color, even more red.

"Hmm..." The temperature was too cold, and Louise, who was wearing thin clothes, tightly grasped the edge of the sleeping bag.

She, who was usually cool, rarely made a cute cry and tremble like a little animal, and her pair of purple eyes flickered with the light.

"Where are we?" she asked.

"A cave 10 kilometers away from the landing point. Thanks to the Emperor, we accidentally crashed not far from the target, and the original preset point was even further away.

Fortunately, the communication is smooth. I have contacted Collingwood and determined the assembly point after dawn. They are a little far away from us, but not too far. I asked them to find a place to camp and rest tonight."

He handed Louise the grilled fish fillet stuck with a peeled branch.

"Aren't you cold? Emperor, in this weather, I can't feel the heat of the campfire if I'm far away."

Louise stretched out her hand with difficulty, her fingers trembling constantly, and took the crispy and browned grilled fish fillet. Even though her body temperature has warmed up, her limbs are still a little out of control at this moment.

To be honest, Horatio himself is also freezing now.

In this environment where the outdoor temperature is close to minus 30 degrees, the warming effect of the power armor is better than nothing, and the energy consumption is still large. It is really not worth it to open it in the absence of supplies.

"We lost our heater and cold-proof tent, and we only have one sleeping bag, but it's OK for just one night. We can restock our supplies tomorrow after we meet up with the rest of the team."

"This sleeping bag should be big enough for two people. Didn't we learn in the wilderness survival training at Zhongsi College that if we encounter the situation of losing camping survival supplies, we should huddle together for warmth to increase the survival rate?" She ate the grilled fish fillet in small bites while gesturing at the famous sleeping bag. She estimated that although the freed-up space was not large, it could barely fit one person.

Although she was a Cadian and had been instilled with the idea that men and women were equal and were all blood taxes since childhood, she was worried that Horatio would still mind that she was a girl.

"Is this really okay? I'm afraid you would mind." Horatio looked at the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye and snorted.

Louise blinked and chuckled, "How could it be."

Then she moved her body and cleared an area that could accommodate another person.

"Rest early and get enough rest. We still have to carry out a raid tomorrow." She was hungry and ate the fish fillet in two bites. She patted the empty space and said nonchalantly as if she had regained her usual coolness.

If it weren't for the cute look of her puffing up her cheeks and chewing like a hamster, she would be even more like one.

Then, her graceful throat moved, and she let out a long sigh of satisfaction as her stomach was filled with protein and fat.

"Thank you, Horatio. It feels so good to be alive and fighting alongside you. Thank you so much."

Horatio lowered his head and smiled. After throwing the folded wood into the fire, he began to take off his power armor.
