Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 275

  Chapter 275 Rise of the Primarch: Within the Ship

This warship is still as huge as Vito's impression. The Hooker-class battlecruiser is one of the largest warships in the hands of the Trade Union. It is a full sixteen kilometers long and nearly six kilometers wide, but Now, this huge ship that was supposed to sail the star sea is lying in this valley.

Vito stood beside the battleship. Compared with this giant ship, he was really as small as an ant. The majestic and tall steel giant wall spanned in front of him. He looked up to the other end of the valley. The huge ship in the Snowy Valley stretched towards its end, and the length of the ship, which was more than ten kilometers long, was beyond sight at a glance. All that could be seen was the white snow covering the armor slopes.

The smart helmet scanned the outer surface of the entire battleship, and line after line of data analysis was quickly presented before Vito's eyes. He frowned at the results of the preliminary scan, “It was not shot down, but died of myocardial infarction. The powertrain suddenly paralyzed at one point, like poison."

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

Vito walked to the door through the thick snow. The snow in the valley had almost reached his knees. Vito was almost half buried in the snow, completely relying on the strength of Thor's power armor. Power, like an icebreaker crashed through the snow layer, and walked to the door that stood on a sloping slope.

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

The latter also nodded in tacit understanding and then took a step back. He raised his hands and raised them upwards. With the lifting of his arms, the invisible force that appeared in the snow was released from him, and the snow under his feet The ground was blown away by the sudden strong wind, which blew across the snow and smashed against the gate after destroying countless snowdrifts.

In an instant, there was a deformation sound on the surface of the entire gate, and the piercing distorted sound echoed in the valley. Vito stood with Kenobi holding the gun. He watched the gate intensify and change as Kenobi's palm was clenched. .

The entire alloy armored door with a thickness of nearly ten meters was helpless in the face of Kenobi's power. The surface of the entire door was concave and distorted inward and outward, and the broken metal fixing strips transmitted the cracking sound out of the door body. The snow on the door surface Frost fell layer by layer with a little twist of the door.

   Kenobi gently pulled upwards with his palm, and a series of crackling sounds came from both sides of the entire gate. As the sound echoed in the snow valley for a long time, the entire gate also collapsed down with a bang.

The huge door fell to the sides, and the two thick metal doors slid past the heads of Vito and Kenobi, avoiding them perfectly and hitting the snow on both sides. Scattered and crushed, the rock surface of the valley under the thick snow surface also made a loud noise amidst the sound of metal collisions.

The force of the falling gate spread throughout the valley. Vito heard the sound of an avalanche somewhere in the valley. He raised his head to look at the top of the battleship, but apparently, the towering battleship blocked the falling avalanche like a city wall. , only a little snowdrift fell from above and hit Vito's helmet.

"You can also sense that power, right? The power of the stele." Kenobi asked, looking at the darkness inside the ship in front of him. Vito nodded slightly, and he raised his hand to pat off the snow on it. In the previous step, he stood in front of the dark gate with a gun in one hand, looking at the abyss where his hands could not be seen.

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

   "That power is not a creation of the Eldar, nor is it something of any alien species. I know the energy characteristics of that thing, it is the power of demons."

   "Chaos, yes." Kenobi said and walked to Vito's side, and the two looked side by side at the dark corridor inside, "Do you now know why I want only you and me to come down?"

Vito didn't answer, he pressed the flashlight on the pulse rifle, and the white light shone in from outside the door, lighting up the ground closest to the door. Lifting up from the snow, the next step was to step on the steel ground behind the gate, and the sound of his footsteps changed instantly.

Kenobi also followed, and the two walked into the pitch-black hull one after another. Their bodies were buried in the darkness, and the pitch-black night instantly engulfed them completely, but soon followed the darkness. When it arrived, the optical reader of the power armor recognized the disappearance of visible light, and quickly activated the light of the power armor.

Pale light was lit 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 vision. The light brings back to the light what was hidden in the dark.

The beam of light shone through the wall, illuminating small holes one after another. Those holes that were punched obliquely spread on the wall in varying numbers, sometimes dense, 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 was firmly held in his hand, his eyes under the holographic mask were constantly scanning the dark corridors and rooms, he walked through the open hatches, the muzzle of the gun As the hanging flashlight shone into it, the pale light swept through the darkness, and swayed between the overturned furniture and objects in the room.

Vito's muzzle scanned the surroundings, the bullet holes became denser as they got deeper, and his boots hit something on the ground, Vito stopped and looked down, the helmet's lighting lights A gun on the ground was illuminated, and the gun that had been pierced by something in the middle lay on the ground.

Vito's eyes looked sideways, and the light also illuminated the gun's owner, who was a human being, a flesh and blood human crew member, at least in his lifetime, and he was dead, nothing pierced his rifle through his chest and killed up.

"This is simply a slaughterhouse, Vito." Kenobi appeared behind Vito and said, his eyes illuminated the corpses in the large hall of the entire ship with the lights, there were many similar corpses, human corpses .

Vito also raised his head and looked forward. There were quite a lot of corpses lying in the dark hall. The bright lights of the two sets of power armor intertwined together, lighting up the hall like a lighthouse sweeping across the dark sea. Here, human corpses and The corpses of the robots were strewn together, and flesh and steel parts were mixed and scattered all over the hall.

  Vito stood up and walked past the corpse in front of him with a gun in his hand. His power armor foot stepped on the ground, and the hydraulic buffer device pushed up on both sides of the calf to buffer the impact of stepping and provide thrust for the next step.

The illumination light on the helmet scans the surroundings, and the corpses of humans and robots appear under the light, and soon fall into the darkness as the light passes by. Vito's footsteps are very light, and the silent engine starts almost instantly , as if he was worried about waking up something here, something lying in the pile of corpses.

Kenobi followed behind Vito. He followed Vito's pace and stepped over the scattered corpses. Humans made a tenacious resistance here, and it seemed that the betrayed intelligent machines paid a lot. It's a small price, but the final result doesn't seem to be quite satisfactory. Not everything in this world will end like a fairy tale or a movie, especially in this dark ship.

  There are no good stories in these steel-encircled halls. Here, there are only deaths and bullet holes all over the walls, and the dense bullet holes on the closed gates.

Vito stood in front of the gate, the light on his helmet illuminated the bullet-riddled iron gate. In front of the gate was the corpse of a human sailor, his gun resting on his lap, hanging down. There is no life in the head, just like this closed and locked door.

"They wanted to escape into it, but they came a step too late, the gate was closed, and they could only fight here until the entire army was wiped out, human courage." Kenobi stood behind Vito, he scanned Looking at the wreckage lying in the hall.

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

Vito hung the rifle behind his back. He bent down and looked under the panel. The illumination light quickly lit up the cover. Vito reached out and buckled the core cover, and he grabbed two A cable plugged into a slot splayed out in Thor's power armor arm.

"What are you going to do?" Kenobi asked behind him, and Vito inserted the two plugs smoothly into the socket, and a series of indicator lights on the arm of the power armor lit up, and the control panel also restarted. Lighted up, the Trade Federation logo rotated on the screen, shining rare light on the wall above.

"Open the door, it's best to restart the ship's power system, otherwise you want to dismantle the door all the way? Let me remind you that there are so many doors along the way, it would take too much time for you to dismantle them one by one." Vito As he spoke, he clicked the tactical panel on his arm, and the panel on the inner side of his arm flickered continuously with Vito's clicks.

"Well, we're lucky. The ship's energy system is just disconnected, not damaged. I think I can restart that system." Vito said with a few fingers and began to operate on the tactical panel, tick-tock The sound flashed along with the icon, but what finally greeted Vito was an unsatisfactory red warning exclamation mark.

Vito cursed in a low voice, but even the cursing in his lowered voice was strengthened by the communication network of the power armor and passed to Kenobi's ears. He turned his head slightly to listen to Vito's inelegant swear words, um , to be precise, is very ancient, but it has been spread far and wide among human beings, a word that has not been lost even after several centuries.

"Fuck, 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 place? Or you should open the door all the way." "No need, I Have."

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

  Vito looked at his system in surprise, and turned to Kenobi hesitantly, "How do you know the code of the alliance? You old **** also works part-time as a spy?"

"I'm not just watching the history of mankind, Vito, I haven't been watching the show in a place you don't know." Kenobi said and patted Vito's shoulder, and he looked up at the locked The door, "Open the door, I don't want to rush in like the demolition team."

"You are so elegant." Vito said, unplugging two cables and walking to the front panel, he quickly switched the interface on it, clicking and starting the icons quickly with his fingers, and quickly followed the last one The green button was pressed and the entire ship was transformed.

  Vito and Kenobi looked up at the lights above their heads. The energy of the entire ship was fully restored, and the lighting system was brought back online. The darkness covering everything was instantly dispelled, and everything here was bathed in light again.

Vito turned around and quickly clicked the switch of the lower door. He pushed his finger upwards to close the lock switch. The heavy explosion-proof door slowly lifted as the lock was released, and the heavy door moved upwards into the door frame under the warning lights. Inside, the passage leading to the depths of the ship was also opened.

Vito walked to the entrance of the gate and looked in, but he was interrupted just as he was about to walk in. There was a rustling sound of some kind of small metal object sliding across the ground. Vito turned his head and looked, sure Norby watched with him at the tiny orb crawling over the wreckage of a battle droid.

Appearing out of nowhere, the tiny thing climbed onto the wreckage of the robot with its insect-like mechanical legs sticking out at the end. The thing turned around on the wreckage, its oval It turned around under the operation, and there was a red eye on the gray-black carapace.

Kenobi looked at the mechanical insect, its mechanical eyes flickered intermittently, looked at Kenobi and Vito, "I've never seen such a small robot, what is that? Some kind of robot for cable repair mini logistics robot?"

Kenobi asked, turning his head to look at Vito, who slowly removed the rifle from his back, "I'm more inclined to call them cleaning robots." "Cleaning robots? For cleaning?" If you call decomposing, devouring, and annihilating all living and man-made objects on the entire planet to be cleaned up, then yes, they are used for cleaning up."

"The kind of cleaning that is used to empty the entire planet." Vito said, looking at the things in front of him, a huge shadow gradually enveloped the two of them, Kenobi also turned his head hesitantly, and then he probably knew that Vito What does that mean.

Countless tiny nanomechanical bugs emerged from who knows where, and they quickly crawled across the ground towards the robot in the center. Everything that those things went disappeared into the sea of ​​bugs, flesh and blood, metal debris, and All the weapons disappeared into the Kuroshio.

Those mechanical bugs gathered on the robot wreckage in the center, they climbed up the robot's corpse, almost instantly the limbs and the whole body of the robot completely disappeared under the dense swarm of bugs, those bugs gathered together, gathered together gradually The bloat, grow and reshape into a huge shadow, a shadow that covers Vito and Kenobi, and most of the hall.

"We call this thing Annihilation Nano, and it was used to clean the world controlled by the Eldar and their allies before. I have seen it a few times, and their effect is quite good, in terms of cleaning effect." Vito said, holding it up. Putting the rifle in his hand, Kenobi looked at the towering huge silhouette, the huge silhouette that covered them and everything around him was forced to raise his head, looking up at the shadow of the huge mechanical bug that covered the lights on the top of the hall.

   "It seems that this weapon that was supposed to deal with aliens was finally aimed at humans themselves." "That's right."

Vito cursed, pointing his gun at the raised shadow, and Kenobi looked side by side at the black wall, the huge black shadow made of countless decomposed nanites, the shadow Spread out a few fingers on it, like a huge palm, and then, it patted down.
