Chapter 78 02.0078: "First Boarding Attack"

The speed of the boarding torpedo was as fast as a manned space rocket, and the surging promethium power made Horatio experience what it meant to "the body rushes forward, and the soul chases behind."

"Contact in progress, estimated impact time 30 seconds."

Horatio didn't know whether the operator of the torpedo was a brave sailor or a robot servant without independent consciousness.

He could clearly feel the torpedo turning, and his stomach was churning, but he didn't want to vomit in the completely sealed Shield of Orm helmet.

"Deploy the penetration shield."

This thing is a shield in front of the boarding torpedo used to block various debris and intercept ammunition. Behind it is the tandem hot-melt charge responsible for penetrating the armored ship.

"Be prepared to be attacked!!! Countdown 5 seconds!"

"5"

Horatio gripped the impact grips in front of his shoulders, his Inferno locked into the gun rack on his left arm.

[+biting her teeth tightly+] Louise reminded.

Horatio did so immediately.

"3"

[God bless you.] He closed his eyes and said silently.

"1"

Bang! The horrific explosion instantly resounded throughout the passenger compartment, just as fast and powerful as it penetrated the hull.

Horatio felt an extremely powerful force coming from the opposite direction, pulling his body, which was originally pulled to the right by inertia, suddenly to the left.

The Shield of Orm helmet activated emergency noise reduction, but the initial explosion still made everyone's ears ring and their eyes dizzy.

The boarding torpedoes were like a knife stabbing into a cream cake, constantly piercing the hull.

This unpleasant process was unforgettable for Horatio, and his teeth kept chattering from beginning to end.

He understood why Louise wanted him to bite his braces tightly, otherwise he would have to get a row of steel teeth after a few times.

The torturous and uncomfortable violent tremors stopped, Horatio breathed a sigh of relief, and the fixed frame pressing on his shoulders suddenly lifted up, giving him a sense of relief.

The gun rack unlocked and Horatio quickly pulled out the Infernal Gun.

Even though he was carrying a battery backpack with the largest capacity, Horatio still adjusted the Hell Gun in his hand to the mode with the best battery life.

Whether on the desktop or in the game, the walking dead is a pretty low-level meat shield that wins by numbers and brute force.

So he had to make sure that his Hell Gun could always unleash its firepower. Once he stopped firing, he would be overwhelmed by the tide of zombies.

The angle of the torpedo's penetration was very tricky, almost a 45-degree angle, but fortunately the magnetic boots on his feet could help him stand at this angle.

[+Action! Don’t disperse! +] Louise shouted in the communication channel.

Inside the fully sealed helmet, the shouting will not be transmitted to the outside, so there is no need to worry about attracting zombies.

She led the way, and Horatio followed closely behind, using his boots to quickly slide down.

The cover in front of the torpedo opened, and the outermost layer had been smashed to pieces. The gushing tandem molten heat burned the deck into a mess, and burned everything that stood in the way of the Hell Vanguard into black ashes.

Horatio slid onto the deck, a thin layer of green mist floating around him, and he could vaguely feel the faint psychic environment through his prosthetic limbs.

[+This is the poisonous fog that came out of the vents after the life support cabin was contaminated. It is said to come from Barbarus+] Brigadier General Edward's voice was connected to the communication channel, making Horatio feel very familiar.

Now, the entire Gothic Fleet Admiralty’s top brass can see what’s going on inside through the camera on the back of Tadashi’s armor.

Leidos unhappily pulled the trigger on the promethium flamethrower, and the nearby poisonous mist was quickly burned away by the flames.

[+Ledos, save fuel+] Louise reminded as she turned on the auspicious instrument.

After the poisonous fog disappeared, some figures staggered out from the cabin.

The Shield of Orm quickly and accurately identified that they were a group of crew members who were infected by the ship plague and turned into zombies.

They screamed strangely, holding various "weapons" in their hands, with flesh torn and bite marks. This was the first time Horatio saw a zombie with his own eyes. He frowned and looked at the exposed arms, doubting whether they could lift the weapons in their hands.

Horatio immediately raised the Hell Gun and fired a burst of sharp, short bursts of fire, turning the row of zombies into charred corpses.

He discovered that killing these zombies, which had no signs of life and were completely driven by the power of Nurgle, did not bring him any increase in soul fire.

[+Start grouping and move towards your respective search points+]

They divided into two groups, two by two, and headed towards the last signal location of the Battle Sister.

The surroundings were foggy, with cooling mist and plague miasma mixed together. The power of the purification respirator was automatically maxed out. The filter element, which was usually replaced once a week, could only last 12 hours in this environment.

The wet deck was mixed with a lot of blood, and disgusting bubbles had begun to grow on it. There were traces of laser burns on the bulkheads. The exchange of fire was fierce, but the bodies were gone, and they must have turned into zombies.

Horatio knew that Nurgle's plague-contaminated life support pods were the first step in animating the entire ship, first the slimy bacterial blanket, then the disgusting tentacles and dirty yellow eyes.

The route he was taking was the main road that led to the life support module the fastest. The circuit system was damaged and the wall lights kept flashing, creating a terrifying atmosphere for the surrounding environment.

His eyes were always on the augury instrument, and the densely packed red dots around it began to increase.

[+Be careful, they seem to be guarding the life support cabin+] Horatio warned.

Louise suddenly raised her hand and clenched her fist. Everyone stopped and pointed their guns at the interconnected hatches.

Horatio pointed his gun barrel forward, red risk warning signs kept popping up on the display screen, and red dots on the auspicious instrument poured in like a tide.

【+Preparation+】

"Fire! Uh-ha! Fire!" A loud shout came from the corner, and the flashlight on the gun shone on a staggering figure.

An infected naval lieutenant had half of his face eaten away, but even so he was still roaring, saber in hand, rushing towards the Hell Soldier.

【+Free Fire+】

Horatio threw a high-explosive grenade forward, which landed squarely among the corpses.

puff--

The mucoid blood splattered everywhere like snot.

The Hell Gun roared. Most of the zombies here were sailors, and some of them were wearing armor, which weakened the penetration power of the Hell Gun. One shot could only penetrate an infected crew member at the back.

But the powerful firepower of the fully automatic and penetrating gun was still like a sickle swung across a wheat field, quickly mowing down rows of zombies.

clang-

There was a crashing sound coming from the cabin next door, and the hatch that was originally sealed suddenly lit up with a green light, and a tide of zombies poured out from the middle of the group.

[+Stand back! +] Louise shouted, turning around immediately and firing at the moment the door opened.

"Ah ...

In order to prevent the team from being separated by the zombies, Louise resolutely used her body and armor to block their rushing route.

[God Emperor, I once again face these ugly and filthy evil creations.]
Louise looked at those ugly faces covered with herpes-like sharp corners at a very close distance, and she remembered things she didn't want to remember.

The zombies behind were pushing forward, carrying the bodies of the infected killed by Louise, like an unstoppable torrent, while she had retreated to the wall.

"Get out of the way!" Louise cursed, and used the body of her gun to push away the oncoming zombies, causing their body fluids to splatter everywhere.

The zombies withstood the fire, grabbed the barrel of her hell gun, and pushed the muzzle towards the top cabin.
