Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 275 The Rise of the Primarch: Inside the Ship

This battleship is still as huge as Vito's impression. The Hook-class battle cruiser is one of the largest type of battleships in the hands of the Trade Federation. It is a full sixteen kilometers long and nearly six kilometers wide. However, Now, this giant ship that was supposed to sail in the sea of ​​​​stars is lying in this valley.

Vito stood next to the battleship. Compared with this giant ship, he was really as small as an ant. The majestic and tall steel wall spanned in front of him. He looked up to the other end of the valley, where the vast white In the snowy valley, the giant ship stretched towards its end. The length of the ship, which was more than ten kilometers long, could not be seen at a glance. All that could be seen was the white snow covering the armored slopes.

The smart helmet scanned the entire outer surface of the battleship. Lines of data analysis were quickly presented in front of Vito's eyes. He frowned at the preliminary scan results, "It was not shot down, but died of myocardial infarction. The power system suddenly became paralyzed at a certain moment, as if it was poisoned."

"The answer you are looking for is behind this door." Kenobi said, standing in front of the large door in the belly of the giant ship. The iron door was one of the working channels that was once used to transport goods and supplies, but now it However, due to the fall of the battleship, most of the gate was buried in the snow, and only the upper part was still vaguely exposed.

Vito walked through the thick snow and walked to the door. The snow in the valley had almost reached his knees. Almost half of Vito's body was buried in the snow, relying entirely on the power of the Thor power armor. The momentum, like an icebreaker, crashed through the snow and reached the sloping door.

Vito looked at the door and nodded slightly to Kenobi, "Open it."

The latter also nodded tacitly and took a step back. He raised his hands upwards. As the arms were raised, the invisible power that appeared in the snow was released from his body. The snow under his feet The ground was blown away by the sudden strong wind. The strong wind blew across the snow and hit the door after destroying countless snowdrifts.

In an instant, the entire surface of the door made a deformation sound, and the harsh distortion echoed in the valley. Vito stood with Kenobi holding the gun. He watched the door change intensified as Kenobi's hand tightened. .

The entire nearly ten-meter-thick alloy armored door was helpless in the face of Kenobi's power. The surface of the entire door was dented and distorted inward and outward. The broken metal fixing strips transmitted the breaking sound to the door. The snow on the door surface Frost fell in layers as the door twisted a little.

Kenobi gently pulled his hand upwards, and a series of crackling sounds came from both sides of the door. As the sound echoed in the snow valley for a long time, the entire door collapsed downwards.

The huge door fell to both sides. Two thick metal doors slid over the heads of Vito and Kenobi, perfectly avoiding them and hitting the snow on both sides. Large pieces of snow were captured by it. Scattered and crushed, the valley rock surface under the thick snow also made a loud sound amidst the collision of metal.

The impact of the gate's collapse was transmitted throughout the valley. Vito heard the sound of an avalanche somewhere in the valley. He raised his head and looked at the top of the battleship, but it was obvious that the towering battleship blocked the pouring avalanche like a city wall. , only a little bit of snow fell from above and hit Vito's helmet.

"You can also sense that power, right? The power of the stone tablet." Kenobi looked at the darkness in the ship in front of him and asked. Vito nodded slightly. He raised his hand and patted the snow off it. He stepped on One step forward, holding a gun in one hand, he stood in front of the dark door, looking into the abyss where he couldn't even see his fingers.

"The energy scanner of the power armor is off the charts, so yes, I know it's in there, and I can also sense the abnormal energy body." Vito frowned slightly, his eyes looking at the blue of the holographic helmet. Staring at the abyss behind the color image screen, staring at what is hidden in the darkness.

"That power is not a creation of the Eldar, nor is it something from any alien species. I recognize the energy signature of that thing. It is the power of the devil."

"Chaos, yes." Kenobi said and walked to Vito's side, and the two of them looked side by side into the dark corridor inside. "Do you know now why I wanted you and me to come down alone?"

Vito didn't reply. He pressed the flashlight on the pulse rifle. White light shone in from outside the door and lit up the ground closest to the door. Vito stepped into the door with the gun in his hand. Lifting up from the snow, the next step was to step on the steel ground behind the gate, and the sound of his footsteps suddenly changed qualitatively.

Kenobi also followed, and the two of them walked into the pitch-black hull one after another. Their bodies were buried in the darkness. The pitch-black night instantly engulfed them completely, but soon followed by the darkness. Upon arrival, the power armor's optical readout recognized the disappearance of visible light and quickly activated the power armor's lighting.

A pale light lit up from the helmet, and the white beam of light shone on the surrounding dark walls. Kenobi observed the surrounding environment. As his head turned, the light also pointed to different places according to his field of vision. The light brings things hidden in the darkness back into the light.

The light beam shined through the wall, illuminating each small hole. The holes punched diagonally spread out in varying numbers on the wall, sometimes densely packed, sometimes sparse, but it was obvious that someone had tried to resist here. , they are blocking something.

Vito walked in front of Kenobi, his rifle held firmly in his hand, his eyes under the holographic mask constantly scanning the dark corridors and rooms. He walked past the open hatches, the muzzle of the gun As the flashlight hanging from the bottom shone into it, a pale light swept through the darkness, passing between the furniture and objects that had been dumped in the room.

The muzzle of Vito's gun scanned the surroundings. The bullet holes became more dense as they went deeper, and his combat boots also hit something on the ground. Vito stopped and looked down. The illumination of his helmet It illuminated a gun on the ground. The gun lay on the ground with something punched through the middle.

Vito's eyes looked to the side, and the light also illuminated the owner of the gun. He was a human being, a human crew member of flesh and blood, at least when he was alive. When he died, nothing penetrated the hole in his rifle and killed him in the chest. .

"This is simply a slaughterhouse, Vito." Kenobi appeared behind Vito and said. His eyes followed the light and illuminated the corpses in the large hall of the entire ship. There were many similar corpses, human corpses. .

Vito also looked up and looked ahead. There were quite a few corpses lying in the dark hall. The bright lighting lights of two sets of power armors intertwined together, lighting up the hall like a lighthouse sweeping across the dark sea. Here were the human corpses. Lying together with the corpses of robots, parts of flesh and steel were mixed and scattered throughout the hall.

Vito stood up and walked past the corpse in front of him with his gun in hand. His power armor feet were on the ground, and the hydraulic buffer devices pushed upwards on both sides of his calves to cushion the impact of the steps and provide thrust for the next step.

The lighting on the helmet scanned the surroundings. The corpses of humans and robots appeared in the light, and soon fell into darkness as the light passed by. Vito's footsteps were very light, and the silent engine started almost instantly. , as if he was worried about waking up something here, something lying in the pile of corpses.

Kenobi followed Vito, and he followed Vito's steps past the scattered corpses. Humanity put up a tenacious resistance here, and it seemed that the betrayed intelligent machines also paid a heavy price. It's a small price, but in the end it doesn't seem to be quite satisfactory. Not everything in this world will end with a just right victory like in fairy tales and movies, especially in this dark ship.

There are no good stories in these halls surrounded by steel. There are only deaths and bullet holes all over the walls, and the dense bullet holes on the closed door.

Vito stood in front of the door. The light on his helmet illuminated the bullet-riddled iron door. In front of the door sat the body of a human crew member. His gun was placed on his leg, hanging down. The head is lifeless, just like the closed and locked door.

"They wanted to escape into it, but they came a step too late. The door was closed, and they could only fight here until the whole army was annihilated. Human courage." Kenobi stood behind Vito, and he glanced Looking at the wreckage lying in the hall.

"I even think that the robots will not accept surrender, so they can only fight to the death." As he said, Vito walked to the control panel on the side. The silent door control panel was completely black, and had nothing to do with everything here. vitality.

Vito hung the rifle behind his back. He bent down and looked at the bottom of the panel. The illumination light quickly lit up the cover. Vito reached out and pulled down the core cover. He grabbed two A cable was plugged into a slot spread out on the arm of Thor's power armor.

"What are you going to do?" Kenobi asked from behind, while Vito inserted the two rods smoothly into the interface. As a series of indicator lights on the arms of the power armor lit up, the control panel also reset. Lit up, the Trade Federation's logo rotates on the screen, shining rare light on the wall above.

"Open the door. It's best to restart the power system of this ship. Otherwise, do you want to dismantle the door all the way? I can remind you that there are countless doors along the way. It would be too time-consuming for you to dismantle them one by one." Vito As he spoke, he clicked on the tactical panel on his arm. The panel on the inside of his arm kept flashing as Vito clicked.

"Well, we are lucky. The energy system of this ship is just offline, not damaged. I think I can restart the system." Vito said and used a few fingers to operate the tactical panel, ticking. Sounds kept flashing along with the icons, but what finally greeted Vito was an unsatisfactory red warning exclamation point.

Vito cursed in a low voice, but even his low-pitched curses were strengthened by the power armor's communication network and reached Kenobi's ears. He tilted his head slightly to listen to Vito's inelegant swear words, well , to be precise, it is very ancient, but it has spread far and wide among human beings. It is a word that has not been lost even after several centuries.

"Hey, the system of this broken ship is locked. I can't restart it manually. I need an identification code. Where can I find the identification code in this broken ship? Otherwise, you should just dismantle the door all the way." "No need, I have."

Kenobi walked up to Vito and looked at the tactical interview on his wrist. Kenobi quickly clicked on Vito's wrist screen very directly. As a series of digital codes were entered, the red warning exclamation mark also appeared. Disappeared in an instant.

Vito looked at his system in surprise, then turned to look at Kenobi hesitantly, "How do you know the alliance's code? You old bastard also works part-time as a spy?"

"I'm not just watching the history of mankind, Vito. In places you don't know, I'm not just watching the show all the time." Kenobi patted Vito's shoulder and looked up at the locked door. "Open the door. I don't want to blast in like the demolition team." "You are really elegant." Vito said, unplugging two cables and walked to the panel. He quickly switched interfaces on it, and his fingers quickly clicked and started between icons. Soon, as the last green button was pressed, the whole ship was very different. Vito and Kenobi looked up at the lights on their heads. The energy of the entire ship was fully restored, and the lighting system was back online. The darkness that enveloped everything was instantly dispelled, and everything here was bathed in light again. Vito turned around and quickly clicked the switch of the door. His finger pushed up to turn off the lock switch. The heavy explosion-proof door slowly lifted up as the lock was released. The heavy door was put into the door frame under the warning light, and the passage leading to the depths of the ship was opened. Vito walked to the entrance of the gate and looked inside, but he was interrupted just as he was about to step in. There was a rustling sound of some small metal object sliding across the ground. Vito turned his head and looked. Kenobi and he were also looking at the small sphere crawling over the wreckage of a combat robot.

The small thing appeared from nowhere, and it stretched out insect-like mechanical legs at the end and climbed onto the wreckage of the robot. The thing turned around on the wreckage, and its oval body turned around under the operation of several legs and feet on its abdomen. There was a red eye on the gray-black shell.

Kenobi looked at the mechanical insect, its mechanical eyes flickered intermittently, looking at Kenobi and Vito, "I have never seen such a small robot, what is it? Some kind of mini logistics robot for cable repair?" Kenobi asked, he turned his head to look at Vito, who slowly took the rifle off his back, "I prefer to call them cleaning robots." "Cleaning robots? For cleaning?" "If you call the decomposition, devouring and annihilation of all living things and man-made objects on the entire planet cleaning, then yes, they are for cleaning." "The kind of cleaning used to empty the entire planet." Vito said as he looked at the thing in front of him. A huge shadow gradually enveloped the two of them. Kenobi also turned his head hesitantly, and then he probably knew what Vito meant by that. Countless tiny nano-mechanical insects emerged from who knows where, they quickly crawled over the ground and crawled towards the robot in the center. Everything those things went to disappeared in the sea of ​​insects, flesh, metal debris and weapons all disappeared in the black tide. The mechanical bugs gathered on the robot wreckage in the center. They climbed onto the robot's body. Almost instantly, the robot's limbs and entire body completely disappeared under the dense swarm of bugs. The bugs gathered together, gradually expanded, grew larger and reshaped into a huge shadow, a shadow that covered Vito and Kenobi, as well as most of the hall.

"We call this thing annihilation nano. It was used to clean the world controlled by the Eldar and their allies. I have seen it several times. They are quite effective, in terms of cleaning effect." Vito said, holding up the rifle in his hand. Kenobi looked at the towering huge outline, the huge outline that covered them and everything around them. He was forced to look up and look up at the huge mechanical bug shadow that blocked the lights on the top of the entire hall.

"It seems that this weapon, which was supposed to be used against aliens, is finally aimed at humans." "Fuck." Vito cursed, his gun pointed at the raised shadow. Kenobi and he looked at the black high wall side by side, the huge black shadow composed of countless decomposed nanoworms. The shadow opened a few fingers, like a huge palm, and then it took a picture.
