192: Chapter 192 Bloodbath

In the vastness of space, the Tyranid vanguard fleet continued to wander.

Although the Spark Alliance's kite tactics had destroyed many of the swarm's frigates and outer incubation sacs over this period, it was not a fatal blow to a swarm that relied on massive numbers to function.

The Hive Mind was very patient.

It continued to attempt to cross the defensive line and open a second front on the agricultural planet below.

Although a large number of drop pods were intercepted midway, many successfully broke through the firepower net and crashed onto the surface of the agricultural planet.

Of course, the swarm did not know.

Those incubation sacs that had managed to land, upon breaking their shells, were soon surrounded by a group of strange-looking insect cousins and were gnawed away, sac and all, leaving nothing behind.

At this moment.

sea breeze no. 9.

Elite players like Ming Shen, Flash, and Liver Emperor were squeezed into a cramped cabin, quietly waiting for the order to strike.

They were riding in the newly manufactured batch of impact ships.

This thing not only had limited space inside but was also dimly lit.

The four walls were made of cold anti-pressure steel plates, and only a few bulletproof viewports, the size of toilet seats, allowed them to barely see the outside.

But because the ship was still in the mothership's launch tube, it was pitch black outside the viewport.

Flash looked down at a metal box fixed tightly to the floor in the middle of the group and couldn't help but reach out and knock on it.

On the surface of the box, a striking black radiation symbol was painted.

"Is this a nuclear bomb?"

Flash looked at it curiously, "It feels a bit small. Is the yield of this thing enough to blast a four-kilometer-long bug to pieces?"

Liver Emperor rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Read more and play less games. Nuclear technology in the Warhammer world is only going to be stronger and more perverse than the fission bombs in reality!"

"This is a pure micro-fusion bomb! Don't let its size fool you. If this single one detonates in an enclosed environment, it is absolutely enough to blast that mothership from the inside out! Not to mention that the main force has been equipped with three of them."

Just as they were chatting, Ushtan's cold voice came over the communication channel:

"All elite squads, pay attention! Countdown to impact ship ejection. 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1! Launch!"

Accompanied by a slight vibration.

From the bellies of sea breeze no. 9 and several surrounding River-class ships, two hundred impact ships, resembling giant torpedoes, were instantly pushed out into space by electromagnetic catapults!

Ming Shen lay in front of the viewport, finally seeing the scenery outside.

In the distance was a star emitting a dim red light; closer by was the agricultural world of Ceres, engulfed in war; and in the deep space directly ahead was that meat-mountain-like Tyranid Hive Ship!

At this moment, all the warships of the Alliance, led by sea breeze no. 9, pushed their engines to the limit and began a full-speed charge toward the swarm!

During the charge, the fleet continuously fired high-energy plasma cannons and heavy torpedoes.

The Tyranid frigates also opened their maws one after another, extending thick biological tubes, frantically firing high-temperature biochemical cannon shells that emitted a ghostly green light.

For a time, various beams of light crisscrossed in the deep space, and explosions of fireballs occurred one after another.

"Boom—!"

The nuclear fusion engines at the rear of the impact ships suddenly started! Violent high-temperature working fluid spewed out.

Under the control of the automatic navigation program, the impact ships, like bullets fired from a chamber, locked onto the distant Hive Ship and launched a suicide charge!

The players were instantly pressed tightly against their seats by a terrifying overload force.

The starry sky outside the viewport began to elongate and recede rapidly.

"Woohoo! This is awesome!"

Flash let out a wolf howl in the channel, but the next second, his howl turned into an exclamation, "Oh, damn! Something's wrong! There are bombs!"

Seeing outside the viewport, countless green biochemical barrages flew toward these two hundred impact ships like a rainstorm!

This impact ship was a complete blockhead that only knew how to charge forward; it didn't have any flexible steering thrusters installed at all.

Once ejected, it could only brace itself and charge forward.

Watching that lethal firepower enlarging in his field of vision, Flash felt his scalp tingle.

"Don't panic, brothers."

Ming Shen, however, remained calm, gripping his gun tightly.

Just at the moment when the dense fluorescent green barrage was about to hit the impact ship!

Transparent ripples like water waves suddenly appeared around the shell of the impact ship!

Those incoming biochemical plasma, upon contacting the ripples, did not explode but were forcibly slid away and deflected by an invisible transparent force field!

The barrage brushed past the sides of the ship and flew into deep space.

"What kind of good stuff is this?!" Flash was dumbfounded.

Ming Shen curled his lips: "That is a deflection shield."

Liver Emperor's mind turned quickly, and he seemed to think of something: "This thing... is it the technology that the Men of Iron snatched from that wild Men of Iron 999 Cold Remedy earlier?"

Ming Shen nodded: "Yes! It is that Golden Age deflection shield. Qisan-kai has already replicated it through the Matter Constructor and installed it on this batch of impact ships. However, production is currently limited, and it has not yet been opened to ordinary players."

"It's good that there's a shield!"

Liver Emperor looked at the radar screen, "The speed of the impact ship has increased again! But... that mothership on the opposite side is surrounded by hundreds of frigates, there's no direct flight path at all! What about this?"

"There's no other way, it just depends on luck!" Ming Shen took a deep breath.

At this moment, the Hive Mind clearly noticed these large iron shells heading straight for the Hive Ship.

After discovering that long-range biochemical barrages were ineffective against these things with deflection shields, the swarm's frigates began to mobilize rapidly, their massive bodies huddling close together, attempting to use their huge bodies to directly block the forward path of the impact ships in space!

But this batch of impact ships didn't care what was blocking them.

Engines overloaded, they rammed into them head-on!

"Rumble—!"

A series of collisions erupted in space!

The vast majority of the two hundred impact ships rammed directly into the thick chitinous shells of the frigates.

Dozens of others tried to force their way through the gaps between the frigates, only to be tightly coiled by huge tentacles extending from both sides and crushed to pieces.

In this cruel game of probability.

In the end, only a handful of four impact ships, relying on heaven-defying luck and shield-sliding, successfully passed through the dense frigate defensive line!

They carried their final high-speed kinetic energy and slammed fiercely into that four-kilometer-long Hive Ship!

"Bang!"

The violent vibration made the players' blood churn in the cabin.

The long, sharp horn at the front of the impact ship, with the blessing of the power decomposition field, cut through the Hive Ship's hard horny armor like a red-hot knife through butter, stabbing into several meters of flesh and blood!

It wasn't until the rear propulsion engine completely extinguished and deformed that the ship body stopped penetrating.

Subsequently, the front armor plate of the impact ship expanded outward like petals, directly forming a sturdy hollow boarding passage on the shell of the Hive Ship.

Ming Shen and the others were very lucky.

The impact ship they were riding in was one of the four survivors that successfully stabbed into the Hive Ship!

And this was also the only impact ship that carried that nuclear bomb.

At this moment, two voice messages popped up in the legion's independent channel.

[Captain Blood Pressure Gabriel]: Thrilling! Brothers, our ship has pierced in! Is everyone alive? Are there any other squads that survived?

[Luluchiu]: Hehe, good luck, our ship also got in, preparing to board.

Ming Shen immediately replied: "Our squad also successfully got in. Any others? I just looked at the radar, it showed that four ships should have passed through the defensive line."

[Captain Blood Pressure Gabriel]: Oh, you mean that one? I just turned my head to look; that ship was unlucky, it drilled straight into the largest main cannon barrel of the Hive Ship. I guess it was directly dissolved by the acid inside; it's hopeless.

Ming Shen made a prompt decision: "All surviving squads, immediately enter the interior of the Hive Ship, move towards our squad's coordinate point and assemble! Prepare for demolition!"

Ming Shen put away his PV.

At this time, the boarding door at the front of the impact ship had fully expanded into an opening wide enough for two people to pass side by side.

The five of them checked their weapons and ammunition, and walked out of the cabin with their weapons in hand.

However, when they reached the end of the passage cut open by the impact ship, they found that it didn't open up as expected.

Blocking them was still a thick, constantly wriggling purple-red wall of flesh.

"Didn't break through?"

Liver Emperor frowned and hit the meat wall with the butt of his gun; it was extremely elastic, "The skin of this Hive Ship is too thick. We have to start the assault plan. Flash, you go!"

"Watch and learn!"

Flash cooperated and let out two strange cries.

He drew the Melta two-handed sword from his back.

The blade instantly lit up with a dazzling orange-red high-intensity light!

Flash held the sword with both hands and slashed fiercely at the meat wall.

The high temperature instantly melted the chitin and muscle tissue, emitting a nauseating charred smell.

He was like a surgeon holding a giant scalpel, forcibly cutting a passage through the flesh of the Hive Ship, and the others followed close behind, squeezing in.

Flash was frantically cutting meat in front.

The five of them didn't know how deep they had gone in the dim, bloody environment.

"Hiss!"

Flash suddenly swung his sword again, cutting through the last membrane.

The space ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a huge, incomparably large cavity filled with glowing vesicles.

"Damn it! Finally here!" Flash panted heavily, just about to turn back to report.

However, before Flash could recover from his shock!

A sharp sound of breaking air suddenly attacked!

A huge bone blade emitting a miserable green toxic mist slashed silently from the shadows, directly hacking towards Flash's neck!

"Watch out!"

Flash reacted extremely quickly; he subconsciously performed an extreme backbend.

The bone blade swept past his helmet.

Flash took the opportunity to roll, and the Melta Sword in his hand slashed upwards backhanded!

The orange-red blade drew a semicircle, and with a click, it directly severed the arm of the sneak attacker at the root!

Insect blood gushed out!

Flash stood up with a kip-up, stared intently into the depths of the cavity, and immediately felt his scalp tingle!

He saw that this huge meat cavity was densely packed with Tyranid Warriors holding biochemical firearms!

And at the very back of the swarm, there stood not only a huge Tyrant.

Around the Tyrant, there were actually more than a dozen terrifying mutant monsters, taller than the Tyrant, holding four sharp bone blades, with a single horn on their heads!

"Good heavens!"

Liver Emperor sucked in a cold breath, gripping his adamantine shield tightly, "Twelve Tyranid Overlords?! Did we poke the bug's headquarters?!"

"Hiss—!!!"

The Tyrant in the back let out a shrill hiss.

The dense warrior bugs around them rushed up like a tide, waving their sickles!

"Form a defensive formation! Clear these cannon fodder! Then deploy the nuke right here in this cavity!"

Ming Shen was fearless; he pulled a heavy double-barreled flamethrower from his back and pulled the trigger!

"Whoosh—!!!"

Dazzling, scorching, high-pressure Promethium flames spewed out! It directly illuminated a large area of this narrow, dark meat cavity.

The dozens of warrior bugs in the front were instantly swallowed by the sea of fire, letting out shrill screams.

As the batch of first-wave high-level players with the highest levels and most luxurious equipment in the entire server.

What big scenes hadn't these five seen? They instantly formed a tactical squad.

"Bang!"

Liver Emperor carried a thick adamantine shield that was half a person tall and stood directly at the front of the team.

He activated the maximum output of his Power Armor and violently performed a tactical ram, knocking several warrior bugs attempting to get close flying away; the sound of breaking bones was clearly audible.

Subsequently.

Miracle Walker, standing in the center of the team, raised a six-barreled multi-linked large-caliber laser heavy cannon!

This thing was equivalent to a Gatling machine gun among laser weapons.

It perfectly made up for the shortcomings of slow rate of fire and low power of single-shot laser rifles.

"Zzzzz—!"

Dense blue high-energy beams, like the grim reaper's scythe, frantically swept and cut through the swarm.

The hard carapace of the warrior bugs was like paper in front of this heavy firepower, instantly being riddled with holes.

However, in this local meat-grinder battle, the one with the highest killing efficiency was still the melee duo composed of Liver Emperor and Flash.

Flash's personal level was approaching the 30-level mark, and his basic attributes were second only to Lin Li in the entire server.

Relying on his high agility attribute and the blessing of the Power Armor, he held that Melta two-handed sword that could cut iron like mud, and with Liver Emperor holding the shield, one attacking and one defending, they rushed directly into the swarm's formation, frantically harvesting the lives of the bugs like ghosts.

The Tyrant at the back saw that the cannon fodder couldn't stop these five humans.

Its massive biological brain issued a mental command.

The eight Tyranid Overlords around it, standing six to eight meters tall, waved their four bone blades, took steps, and rushed directly towards Flash and Liver Emperor!

"Big monster coming! Old Ming! Fire cover!"
