Chapter 79 02.0079: "Plague Ship"

Horatio protected Louise behind him, and with a swing of his iron hand like a silver knife, he chopped off the head of the zombie that was rushing towards his face, as neatly as if it had been swung by a machete.

Fideo quickly suppressed the zombies rushing towards him with a heat volley gun. This special weapon for the Zhongsi troops can be used as a suppression machine gun, and the power can also be adjusted to become a high-penetrating ray.

[+Flamethrower!+] Horatio yelled.

He seized the opportunity at a safe distance, took the flamethrower from his teammate, pulled the trigger, and sprayed a blazing flame of promethium into the cabin.

This combustion-specific promethium sprayed on the deck can burn the room for at least half an hour, and any zombies that enter will be burned into carbon by the high temperature.

But this also means that the flamethrower cannot be used on the way forward or backward, and can only be used to block the cabin.

[These zombies seemed to be attacking her Hell Gun only, but not her personally... Could it be that these zombies couldn't see Louise?] Horatio discovered something.

As a time traveler, he has seen the underlying logic of Nurgle's zombies.

These dead, animated by Nurgle's psychic power, have no sight, but can keenly sense the soul fire of the living and launch attacks wherever the soul fire is.

[No wonder she was able to survive on a plague ship. In addition to resisting poison and infection, this potion may also be able to disguise and conceal a person's soul fire.]
If it is true as I guessed, this is an incredible invention.

Anyway, it's good news, at least these zombies won't pose a threat to her.

[+Damn, the lamp next to me suddenly grew a disgusting eye! +] David Betty's shout interrupted Horatio's thoughts.

[+These eyes are watching our movements. Kill them if you see them. No noble lady is not as startled as you+]

Horatio said as he looked at the eye growing out of the wall lamp, then he shot the disgusting sallow eye away.

[+We have to speed up, the ship plague has begun to erode the ship's soul. It won't be long before the place we are in will become a living maze+] Louise said.

【+How could it be so fast? +】Fideo asked.

[+Because this place is close to the life support cabin, the plague will start to corrupt from the core of the ship, and the speed is probably dozens of times faster than other decks+] Valina answered Fideo's question indifferently.

[+The life support cabin should be about four decks above us. It may take some time to get there. +] Louise said.

The battleship is like a flying nest city, with complex internal passages and many twists and turns. It is easy to get lost if you are not careful.

The team carefully passed through the tunnels, eliminating the zombies along the way.

As they got closer to the life-support cabin, more and more big eyes grew wildly. They were the messengers of the Plague Father, and their terrifying gazes made the Hell's Vanguards very uncomfortable.

[+ Demolition tools, the deck isolation fire door is locked +]

[+Benefit+] Horatio stepped forward and smashed the rotating bolt with his iron hand, knocking the turntable directly to the ground.

【+Okay+】

The people from other groups looked at each other in bewilderment as they looked at the heavy turntable that had been dismantled by bare hands on the ground.

Horatio was the first to go up to the deck and stepped on something round.

He lifted his foot to observe, and saw that it was a shell casing.

[+I think the nuns may have already walked this route+] Horatio looked ahead and saw bloody remains of corpses scattered all over the deck.

Through damage analysis, it was found that there were scars from both .66 bullets and chainswords.

【+I hope they are okay. What is ahead? +】Louise asked.

[+The magnetic rail train on board can theoretically take us to the bottom of the life support cabin+]

The team quickly killed the zombies wandering around and boarded a MTR train. Because the doors were locked, no zombies poured into the train.

pat!

As Horatio punched open the middle door, the Hell's Sentinels quickly boarded the bus.

[+Ledos, you drive, others be on guard+]

The train's first power-on test was successful, and the magnetic rail train slowly moved forward.

As the train moved forward, they saw many terrible tragedies.

The tracks were littered with the crushed bodies of the crew members. These people did not turn into zombies. To be more precise, it was because their bodies were crushed to the point that they could not even turn into zombies.

[+God above, may these souls be saved+] Horatio could hear David Beatty's teeth chattering.

[+When the plague first broke out, this place must have been crowded with people. Many people were fighting for parking spaces and even blocked the movement of the magnetic rail train.+] Louise said as she looked at the corpses that were crushed into meat paste under the train.

They also saw a gate that blocked countless zombies. Countless pairs of hideous withered hands covered with herpes stretched out from the gate. These crew members who were blocked outside the gate were ruthlessly abandoned and left to be corrupted by the plague. In the [+These damn guys+] channel, Valina cursed: [+They shot the ship's military supervisor! +]

Horatio looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a red hat that had fallen on the platform. He followed the trail of blood and saw a bloody corpse with its eyes and tongue gouged out, hanging on the platform sign.

Only half of the dead military supervisor's body was left, which was caused by buckshot. Next to him were the corpses of armed forces sailors who were killed. Their purity marks were torn off, and the torn parchment with prayers written on it was thrown casually and trampled in the dirty and filthy blood.

Horatio could imagine the tragedy here:

The plague spread from the lower decks, and thousands of indentured laborers turned into zombies and attacked the crew who had once bossed them around.

Because the incident happened too suddenly and quickly, the captain's emergency control order was not implemented on the middle and lower decks. There was chaos here. The military supervisor brought armed forces to the transportation hub in person to try to prevent the crew from fleeing. He pulled down the gate and demanded that the crew stop the zombies to the death, and at the same time began to restore order in the station.

But soon, he and his men were killed by the angry crew who were panicking and trying to climb or even block the train, and were then crushed into bloody mud.

[+Team leader, look there+]

Horatio patted Louise on the shoulder, pointed to the large Nurgle symbol on the wall and said: [+Zombies would not draw such blasphemous symbols. The crew members who failed to evacuate in time are likely to have rebelled+]

[+The current situation may be more serious than before we set out+]

The train entered a dark tunnel, and she switched to the action channel and said: [+Everyone stay alert, there may be corrupted sailors among our enemies+]

The situation has changed, and Horatio is worried.

『+Activate: Omen Fragment+』

『+Energy: 5/7+』

『+Psychic Power: 6/7+』

+Corruption: 1/7+

『+Soul Fire: 34/40+』

He saw an ambush, a large number of trapped zombies, and... a magnetic rail train rushing in the opposite direction on the same track.

[+We must abandon the car immediately! Now! +] Horatio raised his gun and shattered a row of car windows.

【+What? +】Faced with Horatio's sudden reaction, Louise was a little confused.

The maglev train also braked at this time.

[+Ledos, what happened+] Louise asked.

[+There's a train blocking our way ahead... Damn it! A train is heading towards us+]

[+Everyone, jump out of the car immediately! +] Sergeant Valina immediately broke more glass, and the Hell Snipers stepped on the seats and jumped out of the magnetic track.

Horatio groaned, but the solid armor did not hurt him.

With his advance warning, everyone jumped out of the carriage through the broken windows before the train collided.

boom!
A huge crash echoed across the track, followed by the piercing noise of metal supports collapsing.

The pieces fell on Horatio with a clanking sound.

[+Keep alert, there is an ambush+] Horatio got up from the ground and immediately used the auspicious instrument to scout the surrounding situation.

With the warning just now, although Louise didn't know how Horatio predicted it in advance, she believed in his judgment.

It all looked too much like an ambush.

[+Is anyone injured? +] Sergeant Valina asked.

[+Someone was crushed by the collapsed frame+] David Beatty shouted.

Horatio rushed over immediately.

Harvey's calves were crushed by the collapsed train frame, and his identity was identified by the sergeant's insignia.

[+Horatio, come+] Sergeant Valina walked to the edge of the ruins and called out to Horatio, saying that they two should be the strongest in the team.

While two people were stabilizing a fulcrum, the others immediately began to be alert to the surroundings.

【+Enemy contact! +】Louise yelled.

A dense rain of shotgun shells blew past Horatio's head.
