Chapter 113

"Long time no see." Old One-Eye raised his head from the map and looked at Zhou Yun with a smile.

Old One-Eye also participated in this battle. He was once an excellent soldier in the PDF, one of the few people in the lower hive with military command experience, and also the person who trained the members of the Ark Gang.

So Old One-Eye's responsibility became commanding the Ark Gang to cooperate with the Astra Militarum's actions.

Because the Thirteenth District had fewer requirements for the Ark Gang's cooperation before, he was mainly in other areas inside the hive city, commanding the Ark Gang to cooperate with the Cadian Shock Troops in fighting in the streets and alleys.

This street fortress was built by Ark Gang members collecting materials under his command.

"We seem to have only not seen each other for a day." Zhou Yun shrugged and answered with a smile.

"A day? That's truly..." Old One-Eye smiled: "But a day is also long enough. The battlefield makes every minute and every second of time pass very painfully."

Zhou Yun observed and found that Old One-Eye's mental state was still okay.

He had rushed over from other large districts; he must have rested for a while while rushing on the road.

Zhou Yun then placed his gaze on Xiang Xiang Leina.

Xiang Xiang Leina's face also didn't have exhaustion, but her expression was quite tight.

She was now tightly closing her mouth, as if she didn't want to speak.

Xiang Xiang Leina was affected by the Shadow in the Warp; although she had basically recovered, she still had some sequelae.

Her language function was slightly chaotic, and when speaking, she would involuntarily bring along some meaningless syllables.

These syllables sounded quite funny, so much so that even well-trained Cadians sometimes couldn't help but laugh.

And Zhou Yun would laugh out loud every time he heard it.

This made Xiang Xiang Leina a bit unwilling to speak.

"Do you want to go sleep for a while?" Zhou Yun asked, looking at Xiang Xiang Leina's tense expression.

Xiang Xiang Leina's expression twitched slightly, and she said in a low voice: "I am stimulating my nerves with psychic power... I-gu-bi-gu."

"Psychic power is transformed into my vitality through nerves... Ma Ka Paka."

Listening to Xiang Xiang Leina's words mixed with disordered syllables, Zhou Yun roughly understood. Xiang Xiang Leina was using psychic power to stimulate her nerves, exciting the vitality in her body, letting herself maintain spirit for a long time.

Zhou Yun nodded slightly, thinking that this method had some side effects.

But with war at hand, there was no time to consider these.

"How is the situation?" Zhou Yun asked, looking at the map on the table.

An irregular circle on it represented the street blocks currently still under Imperial control.

"Tyranid organisms have begun to clear the servoskulls; we can only barely know that Tyranid organisms have begun to move again." Old One-Eye pointed at the map and said.

Zhou Yun nodded slightly, and he, General Droste, and Xiang Xiang Leina climbed to the high point of the street fortress together, looking out into the distance under the protection of the street fortress's cover.

The location Old One-Eye chose to build the street fortress was very suitable.

This road was almost the only wide road in the lower hive, and the various messy buildings originally piled on it had also been cleared away, exposing the wide and tidy roadside.

This was both to expose the Tyranid swarm to the artillery fire within the street fortress and to allow the armored forces of the Cadian Shock Troops to deploy.

The Leman Russ tanks, Hellhounds, and Hellhounds of the Cadian Shock Troops' 186th Armored Regiment were lined up in front of the street fortress.

Such street fortresses were arranged in different large districts to intercept the main force of the Tyranid swarm.

And in narrower streets, small bunkers were also built, occupied by Astra Militarum soldiers to guard the terrain.

The orange-yellow lights of the hive city hung high in mid-air. Zhou Yun looked out at the end of the street, waiting for the Tyranid swarm's visit.

He didn't wait too long...

The buildings of the entire hive city began to tremble, and the swarm surged from the distance like a sea tide, countless biological ammunition pouring toward the Astra Militarum's street fortress.

The first to charge into the battlefield were the huge numbers of Termagants and Hormagaunts. These Tyranid organisms, like hunting dogs, roared and charged toward the Cadians.

Then, artillery fire and lasers began to appear on the battlefield.

The Leman Russ tanks' barrels trembled and shot out giant cannons, tracks whistling, and the tanks rolled forward like moving city walls.

Shells burst between the swarms, blowing groups of Termagants and Hormagaunts away, turning them into meat foam splashing in the air.

The Tyranid organisms composed of flesh and blood seemed to be unworthy of mention in front of the steel defensive line.

Boom!!

A thunder-like shaking sound rang out.

Scorching bio-plasma whistled through the street, bursting on the Leman Russ tanks, raising waves of thick smoke.

The roar of a beast rang out.

Three Tyranid giants covered in thick chitinous carapaces, taller than tanks, rushed out from the end of the street.

Their upper arms were scarlet giant claws as sharp as sickles, and their lower limbs held three different writhing biological giant guns. Warriors! Tyranid giant Warriors!

The speed of these giants was so fast that they killed their way to the front of the Leman Russ tanks in the blink of an eye.

The Leman Russ tanks whistled and shot out artillery fire.

However, the almost endless swarm guarding the Warriors replaced them to block the Leman Russ tanks' artillery fire.

And the Cadian warriors in the higher street fortress shot out streaks of sharp lasers.

However, these attacks could almost not harm the Warriors' thick carapaces.

Scorching acid slurry, sharp biological shells, and ticks shot out from the Warriors' biological giant guns, raising waves of bursts on the Leman Russ tanks.

The fastest Warrior moved its figure, piercing its sharp claws into the Leman Russ's armor, forcibly tearing the entire tank apart.

But at the same time, other Leman Russ tanks also seized the opportunity, pouring firepower toward the Warriors.

The Warriors retreated one after another for a time, layers of flesh and blood flying on their bodies.

But soon, the other two Warriors charged to its side, engaging in battle with the Leman Russ tanks again with the biological giant guns in their hands—

Zhou Yun stood at a high point observing the battle situation.

He always felt a bit strange. Was the swarm's trick just three Warriors?

These giants were not enough to break through the Astra Militarum's steel defensive line.

At least add some things like Ravener, ion cannons, etc.

Hmm?

Just as Zhou Yun was thinking, under the protection of the swarm, several larger figures appeared on the street in the distance.

The first three hunched their bodies, standing with four limbs, holding a flesh giant gun almost as long as their bodies in their hands.

The last three were covered in thick carapaces, four thick legs on the ground, and a huge giant cannon extended from between the carapaces on their backs. The giant cannon also had six eyes on it, seemingly used for aiming...

The former were Ravener, the latter were Biovores.

Zhou Yun's eyes twitched slightly. This was truly thinking of what came.

!. Read

The Astra Militarum's armored units also noticed the appearance of these giants.

They quickly recognized these two types of Tyranid giants according to the "Tyranid Organism Encyclopedia Even Ogryns Should Understand" distributed by Zhou Yun before.

These two were both Tyranid organisms specialized in long-range artillery bombardment.

The firepower of the Ravener could almost pierce a defensive line in the blink of an eye, and the Biovore, which was almost a mobile giant cannon, was even worse.

The burst cannon in the Ravener's hand began to pour out firepower, and groups of tick-type organisms used as projectiles were shot out.

They burst the moment they touched the Leman Russ tanks, simultaneously releasing waves of viscous oily substances.

After this, what was shot out from the burst cannon were seed pods covered in thick hard shells.

They were stained with the previous viscous oily liquid at the moment of hitting the Leman Russ tanks, dissolving the thick armor in a fraction of a second, bursting inside the tanks, and forcibly destroying the first few Leman Russ tanks.

The Leman Russ tanks wanted to fight back, but the Tyranid Warriors entangled them almost immediately.

And the Biovores at the very back of the swarm also stood firm, and blue ion light began to flicker in the huge biological cannon mouths on their backs...

The roaring bio-plasma energy balls released by the three Biovores simultaneously could almost shatter the Imperial defensive line in an instant.

The armored units mobilized all their firepower, attempting to get rid of the Warriors' entanglement.

But these Tyranid giants, who were not afraid of death, plus the fatal burst cannon attacks of the Ravener in the distance, made it difficult for them to extract power for a time.

And the Cadian warriors were entangled by the swarm at close range, and for a time lasers and artillery fire flew, but no matter what, they couldn't touch the Biovores in the distance.

Zhou Yun was waiting.

He put on the superpower hat, and his figure almost instantly disappeared from the position.

Then, Zhou Yun appeared in front of the Warrior almost face-to-face.

The Warrior and its subspecies, the Shrieker, were different; it was almost born for charging into battle.

Its speed was far from as agile as the Shrieker, and Zhou Yun's fist wearing the Superman glove smashed onto the Warrior's head in the blink of an eye.

The Warrior's head burst into thick slurry and scattered instantly.

The other two Warriors hurriedly waved their sickle-like giant claws to slash at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun's figure flashed again, turning into a blur and disappearing from where he stood, and the sickle giant claws missed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Zhou Yun appear, the Leman Russ tanks immediately mobilized their firepower to entangle with the remaining two Warriors.

Since they could drag down the Leman Russ tanks, the Imperial armored forces could also conversely drag them down.

The Ravener's shells specifically used for anti-armor were shot out continuously, and Zhou Yun's figure kept flashing and dodging...

He was waiting... waiting for the Biovores to complete their charging.

Scorching bio-plasma whistled out from the huge cannon barrels on the backs of the Biovores.

Only the sound of crackling electric light whistling rang out, and the azure light surged toward the Imperial position like a boundless sea tide.

Zhou Yun's arm waved abruptly, forcibly tearing out a small empty space between the swarms with telekinesis.

His arm, under the action of the acceleration gear, reached into the fourth-dimensional pocket at an extremely fast speed.

A piece of bright red cloth was pulled out by him—

"Dang-dang-dang-dang! Reflective Cloak!"

Zhou Yun waved the reflective cloak in his hand, and this light piece of cloth collided with the plasma torrent in mid-air...
