As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

In this world, the best way to keep a secret is to not know. As long as you know, even if it is hidden in the deepest part of your mind, it may be spread in various ways.

Thinking of this, coupled with the intuitive sense of trust transmitted through the black carapace neural connection point of the power armor, he did not ask any more questions to embarrass Zhang Ge, but just said:

"I see."

Soon, the four of them spent two or three minutes to complete their preparations. They brought along Alfie, who was responsible for explaining the situation as much as possible before entering. Led by the armless Space Marine, they passed through layers of isolation lines and arrived at an inconspicuous building.

Here, a secret entrance is hidden under the bed in a bedroom on the first floor of a house. Now the entrance, which almost blends in with the ground, has been opened, revealing the deep and empty darkness inside.

Looking at the entrance, Zhang Ge turned to Alfie, who was brought here with him, and asked:

"Do you know what this is?"

"Is this a mine? Well, it should be. But that's not quite accurate. It's just a popular term. In reality, it's a channel for transporting minerals."

Zhang Ge nodded and asked Alfie to explain briefly.

But even though I tried to be as brief as possible, I still wasted another two minutes trying to make the situation clear.

To put it simply, this can be traced back to the Mechanicus, who have been exchanging a precious mineral on this planet for a long time and without limit, so that this mineral has become more common on this planet than even the throne coin.

You might not be able to find a place to spend the Throne Coin, but as long as this kind of mineral gets into the hands of the Mechanicus, it can definitely be exchanged for something.

That's right, it is Blackstone. Although various Necron ruins emerge one after another, and even the Blackstone Fortress on the other side has smashed out a large rift, this side still treats Blackstone as a mineral deposit. This is because the Mechanicus has a relatively high communication efficiency.

Let’s talk about the origin of the mine: this kind of mine is easy to detect due to its weak psychic properties, and even the money it digs out can be exchanged for a large amount of things without even refining, which naturally gave rise to a large number of industries.

From the nobles' mining teams to the desert tribes, from the mutants in the wild to the thugs in the hive city, they are almost everywhere where people go.

Naturally, the Chao City gang, which even steals high-quality drinking water, will not let this money go unearned.

This is the origin of the "mine".

The mines they dug were extremely well hidden, hidden in various places, going down into the isolation wall by tens or hundreds of meters, and leading directly to the suburbs. They were not exposed on the surface at all, and after leaving the foundation of the isolation wall, they went straight to the location of the underground black stone minerals that had been explored.

As for the current situation, it is very likely that the mining point connected to this mine has brushed against the edge of a Necron hibernation point.

Previously, those hive gangs were not identified as "threats" by the Necrons, so the two could live in peace, but it was a different story when the Space Marines followed them in.

It's like an ant and a three-meter-long muscle cockroach man. The former is just part of the natural landscape, but the latter obviously looks a little more threatening.

After understanding the situation, Zhang Ge arranged for everyone:

"I understand the situation best, so Amelia will be at the front, working with me. Sergeant, you will be in the second position, serving as sword guard and heavy fire support. Isis, on the other hand, will be responsible for providing support with the melta gun when necessary, but avoid engaging in close combat unless absolutely necessary."

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Ge seemed to be back in the trench at the beginning, but after a short period of time, the person in charge of the operation had changed from the political commissar to Zhang Ge himself.

There was no time to feel sad. After looking down at the depth below the entrance, Zhang Ge let Amelia jump down first.

He nodded, opened his jump pack, and descended into the darkness, holding a long sword to confirm that it was safe below.

After Amelia gave a signal to the people above, the team descended the passage via an escalator that was dozens of meters long and came to this deep "underground" that seemed to be isolated from all sounds.

Since this is actually the inside of the isolation wall between the passage and the bottom nest, the passage is made entirely of metal.

Zhang Ge looked around.

This passage with four square walls extends all the way to the far distance. The edges are smooth and it looks like it was dug by some kind of force field cutting tool.

Because it is extremely straight, the field of vision is very good, but after observing carefully for a while, Zhang Ge still cannot see where the corner that the broken-armed Space Marine mentioned is.

This is not surprising. After all, although this place is very close to the edge of the hive city, it is only "close" relative to a giant city that can accommodate tens of billions of people.

Zhang Ge simply gestured to move forward, and then the team, which did not have a single ordinary person in it, began to rush forward in the passage at an extremely fast speed.

Chapter 171 Necrons

After the team moved forward at full speed for a while, the corner mentioned by the Broken-Armed Space Marine soon appeared in front of them.

But when everyone was fully prepared and crossed the corner, they did not encounter the attack they had imagined.

While Zhang Ge asked Amelia to take charge of the front line, he whispered to the white-helmeted sergeant:

"Isn't this where the incident happened?"

Generally speaking, if the person on the other side is a Space Marine, and he does not mention which corner he is referring to when communicating information with broad terms such as "corner", then it is likely that there is only one corner in the place he is describing, or the so-called corner has very obvious characteristics, so that it can be recognized at a glance without special description.

With this mentality, Zhang Ge did not ask more questions, but now thinking about the other party's personality, maybe he really forgot to say it.

But the White Helmet Sergeant's next response overturned this speculation. He shook his head and replied:

"Although there are no obvious signs of an attack, the concentration of free particles detected is significantly higher than the surrounding environment. This is likely the location."

In other words, the other party left?

That means another worse situation.

An attack with a reaction speed faster than that of a Space Marine... Zhang Ge originally thought that this attack came from some fixed defense facility of the Necrons, but now it seems that since that thing can leave the scene on its own, the source of the attack has changed from a fixed turret to some advanced unit.

Was it bad luck that they ran into a dynasty that had already awakened a while ago? Or was it that the dynasty they encountered was so wealthy that they could pull out elite troops in the first wave of awakening?

Thinking about these two pleasing possibilities, Zhang Ge turned around and was about to ask Amelia if she had found any other traces, but suddenly heard some unusual sounds.

Is it... tremors?

wrong.

It was a tearing sound.

At this moment, even Zhang Ge had realized this, let alone others.

Amelia had already turned around in the instant Zhang Ge was still processing what the information was. She picked up Zhang Ge without hesitation, hugged him, turned the corner at high speed, turned on the jump pack and flew straight back the way she came.

The next moment after she activated her jump pack, the tearing sound came to everyone.

A green light swept through countless thick metals easily as if it had no hindrance. The place where Zhang Ge and others were originally standing turned into a bottomless chasm in an instant.

Remember, this is inside a fully metal isolation wall.

And this is not the end. At the edge of the rift, the green light is further breaking up any matter around the path of the light beam, further expanding the already terrifying rift by several times.

Looking at the huge valley in front of them, which was created by some unknown weapon, just as everyone was wondering what to do next, the tearing sound was heard again, deafening.

The source of the sound appeared before everyone's eyes.

It's a building... a building that's moving.

It is pyramid-shaped, with a pitch-black base and dark green lines covering the entire shell. Energy surges like blood, and eventually converges into a giant polyhedron green crystal at the top of the tower.

And the tearing sound today is caused by it.

Its huge body was slowly and steadily moving forward along the huge metal crack that had just opened. Although this movement itself did not produce any noise, because it was too huge, its lower half was already larger than the width of the crack, so it was forcibly squeezing those metal structures apart during the movement, causing a tearing-like noise.

Ancient tomb obelisk.

Although its image was different from the standard model, Zhang Ge matched it with the words in his impression the moment it appeared.

This time we hit a big truck.

This is the second thought at this moment.

After coming to his senses and confirming that everyone was safe, Zhang Ge looked at the ancient tomb obelisk passing by and said without hesitation:

"You retreat!"

But just as the other three began to retreat towards the entrance, Zhang Ge ran towards the obelisk instead.

He's going to jump on it.

Yes, jump on it.

The obelisk did not seem to be awake at the moment. It was probably still in a state of drowsiness and blind wandering caused by a long sleep. The attack just now was most likely because everyone happened to bump into the path he had originally intended to open up, and it was not aimed at them.

Otherwise, if it had noticed everyone and intended to destroy them, the beam of light would not have been so straight. A slight turn would have turned the four of them into free particles in the air.

Now, it is certainly feasible to evacuate together, but at the same time, this is probably also the best attack window to destroy this alien creature.

If they were to retreat and send a message for help, three people would be enough.

Therefore, Zhang Ge must be the person responsible for taking advantage of this attack window.

The reasons are sufficient and right in front of him. How could he possibly retreat in this situation?

And considering that Zhang Ge is just a semi-ordinary person who has been blessed for a short time, the only possible way for him to try to destroy this thing is to board it.

In the case of long-range attacks, all the weapons in their hands would not be able to cause effective damage to this thing. It is made entirely of living metal that can repair itself. Even ordinary heavy firepower will quickly repair it to its original state.

Therefore, for individual soldiers, there are generally two feasible options.

One is to jump onto the upper part, find the weak point and enter the interior after the opening, and then destroy its important parts inside.

But Zhang Ge had no time to find the weak point. Once the obelisk reacted, the secondary artillery array around it could easily smash him into powder.

So, he chose the second option:

Climb directly to the top and explode with that crystal.

When Zhang Ge passed by the other three people, they all understood Zhang Ge's idea at the same time... As Xian said before, three people are more than enough to convey the message for help, so why not reduce it to just one person?

Amelia said to Isis briefly and quickly:

"You go."

Then he turned around together with the white-helmeted sergeant.

Beside Zhang Ge, before he could be happy for long, two people who were much faster than him had already passed by.

The sergeant's movements were still barely discernible, but Amelia had almost become a streak of light.

He thought to himself that something was wrong and wanted to repeat the order, but then he suddenly remembered:

Yes, it seems that I do not have a superior-subordinate relationship with these two people, it’s just that they listened to me before.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ge cursed in his heart, but he could only swallow his words, saving this little bit of energy and increasing his speed a little more.

Chapter 172 Authority

In front of Zhang Ge, before Amelia was about to touch the obelisk, her body suddenly collided with a ray of light.

Turn back time to before this moment happened.

Amelia had just undergone a psychic baptism not long ago. At this moment, she burst out with all her strength, like a rising white sun. The waves she emitted even frightened the white-helmeted sergeant beside her.

Its halo burst into flowing light, and the wing-like milky white silk threads behind it rippled with its movements. The long sword in its hand had turned into a sword-shaped radiance that was enough to make people feel bitingly cold just by the overflowing spiritual energy.

The moment her feet touched the ground, a loud metal collision sound like the sound of a bell spread out, and her body twisted at an extremely fast speed into a streak of light in the eyes of ordinary people. The air she broke through turned into a surrounding hurricane that swept through the corridor, sweeping up countless dust that had been deposited for who knows how long.

But even with such explosive power, it was unable to get close before the cold black pyramid could react.

The program calculated that the muzzle of the parallel secondary gun was accurately pointed at Amelia, and when her figure left the original corner position - now at the edge of the rift - it suddenly spewed out a lightning-like green disintegration ray.

This weapon is called a "Gauss" weapon by humans due to the special trajectory of its rays, but in fact it has nothing to do with electric current. It will only turn even an entire Leman Russ into free particles dispersed in the air.

If an ordinary person were to collide with this ray, there would be no chance of survival.

But that was Amelia.

The moment the cannon was charging, she retreated instead of advancing, swung her sword to meet it, and the sword collided with it the moment the light was emitted. An energy storm erupted between the green and white, like countless bombs exploding in an instant, shattering countless dust particles.

After the horrific collision, when the storm dissipated, Amelia was unharmed.

However, judging from the long sword in her hand that had lost its light, it was obvious that blocking this attack was not as easy as it seemed.

A fist-sized gap appeared on the sword. This was the first damage to the weapon since it was acquired. Even after countless clashes with the Chaos Space Marine Captain, it had always been as smooth as new.

But this was not the end. Just when she was about to activate her jump pack to continue advancing, a secondary gun on the other side mercilessly spit out a second green ray.

This time, Amelia only had time to raise her sword to block, and her whole body flew backwards at an even faster speed, slamming into the gap on the side of the metal rift.

However, the price she paid was not in vain. On the side facing the three people, the two secondary guns had entered the cooling period after firing.

A gap appeared.

The white-helmeted sergeant leaped up from the edge with a power sword in hand, but did not move higher. His huge body slammed down on the edge of the obelisk tower - that was where the secondary gun that had exposed its position was located.

He swung his sword, and the blade's decomposition force field cut off the gun barrels emitting evil alien light. After sticking a delayed hot melt bomb to the gap, he stood up diagonally on the tower with the help of the magnetic module and threw the power sword in his hand to the other secondary gun at the other end.

When the sword sank into the barrel of another secondary gun, the melta bomb on this side also exploded suddenly. The light and heat were enough to tear apart heavy vehicles and even blew down the white-helmeted sergeant who had been thrown away for a distance. The scorching temperature burned the blue paint on the back of his power armor into a charred black, and even the power pack couldn't help but burst out sparks of failure, wailing under the heavy burden.

The two believed that Zhang Ge was not rushing towards the alien creation to commit suicide without any guarantee of death, so they created an opportunity for him to reach the top of the tower even with a mortal body.
