Chapter 81 02.0081: "Rescue"

Horatio took the lead and sent the specific coordinates of the life support module. Another Hell's Vanguard strike team was on the way.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, and everyone stopped.

[+There are too many zombies+] Louise frowned.

The platform where the nuns were standing was like an isolated island in a sea of ​​corpses. Under their feet, thousands of zombies were attacking the temporary defense line built by the nuns. Their withered arms formed a disgusting wave, constantly reaching out hungrily towards the silver armor of the saints.

There are three Sisters of Battle remaining, and one Sister of Medicine.

They were injured to varying degrees, their armor tainted, their silver covered in a thin layer of green, but they still stood in a row, firmly defending, and continued to pour fire on the enemies of the God-Emperor, the Mark of Purity leaping up and down, dancing with every shot.

The combat medical nuns in white robes used the power of faith emitting golden light to heal the wounds of their teammates and remove the influence of the plague while fighting.

This golden light looks like psychic power, but it is not psychic power in the traditional sense. It is the psychic light emanating from the Emperor.

In the eyes of the plague zombies, her soul fire was also flickering with a brighter golden light, which attracted countless zombies chasing the soul fire to gather below and move towards the light.

The explosive bombs hit the zombies, shattering them. The zombies behind stepped on the fallen debris and kept approaching the platform. At one point, they were almost approaching and it would not take long for them to break through the fragile battle line of the nuns.

[+They won’t last long+]

Horatio used the Shield of Mystery to quickly analyze the terrain: [+There should be some poison gas nearby for purification. We can release this nerve gas to quickly kill these zombies+]

"what!"

A battle nun who was too close to the front was grabbed by the ankle by a zombie. She was pulled to the ground and was about to be dragged down and torn to pieces by the zombies.

"Sister Molina!"

The medical sister stepped forward and grabbed her, swinging the iconic short saw on her arm, cutting the hands and arms of the zombies.

The tearing between the two sides caused the fallen battle nun to scream miserably.

In an instant, a burst of laser beams quickly killed the zombie that was pulling at the nun's leg armor, and the medical sister took the opportunity to pull her sister up.

Horatio's gun barrel was smoking as he and the others continued to fire, and he sent a channel link request to the nun.

The nuns looked in the direction where the lasers were coming from and saw crimson round eyes.

[+We are the Imperial Navy's Hell Vanguard, and we have been ordered to rescue you and purify the life support cabin+] Horatio's voice came from the communication device.

The extremely repressive and terrifying crimson round eyes now looked so kind in the eyes of these daughters of the Emperor.

[+God-Emperor, thank you for your support! +] The voice of the medical nun wearing a helmet sounded familiar.

[Psychic Attunement allows me to change into a psychic or untouchable like the target, like a chameleon, to increase or reduce corruption. What about artificial 'invisibles' like Louise?]
An experimental idea emerged in Horatio's mind. He wanted to try to find a bug.

『+Activate: Psionic Attunement+』

『+Energy: 3/7+』

『+Psychic Power: 5/7+』

+Corruption: 2/7+

『+Soul Fire: 34/40+』

[The corruption did not grow, was it successful?]
He wanted to try it.

[+Horatio, what are you doing? +] Louise turned to look at Horatio, her face horrified.

He actually stretched out his hand towards the zombies as if fishing.

[Well, it seems to have worked. The zombies are not responding to me.] Horatio fiddled with his hands at the zombies.

Suddenly, he felt someone hugging him from behind and pulling him up.

[+Team Leader, I'm just doing an experiment. I don't know if the concentration of the vaccine I injected is higher, but I found that these zombies have no reaction to me.+]

[+That's good, I thought you were infected+] Louise gasped and let go of Horatio from her arms.

[+Others stay here to support the nun, Team Leader Louise and I will start the poison gas+]

[+Can you two do it? +] Henry Harvey asked, and it was obvious that he also wanted to go, or rather, he didn't want to go with just Horatio.

[+The zombies can't track Louise and me, and more people will only increase the risk of exposure+]

[+Just as Horatio said, you guys stay here to support the nun, and the two of us will go release the poison gas+] Louise checked the guns.

Although Harvey was reluctant, he had no choice but to do so for now.

【+Let's go, Horatio+】Louise raised her gun.

The two men jumped down from a height of three meters and landed in the tide of corpses.

"Uh uh." The herpes-covered, horrible, twisted zombies were rubbing shoulders with each other.

Louise bit her lip, held her gun high, and waded through the "turbulent flow of flesh" of the zombies. Walking alone in the tide of zombies reminded her of the past, a childhood nightmare that she didn't want to recall.

Her breathing became heavy, and numbness and coldness swept through her body, as if she was trapped in an icy lake, and her body was shaking slightly.

Traumatic stress response is the only way for her to overcome psychological trauma, but fortunately it will not affect her excellent tactical ability.

【+Don’t be afraid+】

Horatio noticed Louise's condition, he turned around, took her hand, and led the way.

[+You are not alone+] His voice was firm and steady, making people feel safe.

Horatio's words drove away the nightmare that lingered in her mind, and a delicate but warm current of heat flowed out from her stiff and numb heart, dispelling the coldness in her body and mind.

She took a deep breath and said: [+You're right, I'm not alone+]

Horatio pulled her through the fetid tide of corpses, then he leaped up onto the platform, grabbed Louise's hand and pulled her up.

[+The location of the gas tank should be in front+] Horatio used the auspicious bird to detect.

There is no one in the house.

He used the neural dendrites on his prosthetic limb to insert into the access control system, and the door opened quickly and obediently.

There are many pipes coiled around the walls of the room, with a rotating valve in the middle.

[+Everyone check your breathing equipment, we are about to release poison gas+] Horatio called into the action channel.

Then he nodded, and he and Louise placed their hands on the valve dial.

The rusted valve began to turn little by little, and Horatio could hear the sound of gas surging in the pipe.

Suddenly, an eye grew out of the herpes in the middle of the valve, and it stared at the two scouts.

The zombies began to swarm towards the room where the two were.

[+Damn it!+] Horatio smashed his eye with a punch.

[+I'll stop them+] Louise picked up her gun and shouted into the communication channel: [+Support our direction! +]

The fierce shooting could not stop the zombies from rushing over. Although they could not see the two people, they could crush them to death if they rushed over in this form.

Louise kept backing away until she bumped into Horatio's back.

She glanced at the young man behind her and decided to fight a desperate battle.

The scorching steam gradually filled the room.

scoff-

After accumulating huge power, the valve was turned suddenly.

Yellow-green poison gas instantly gushed out of the pipe and filled the deck at an extremely fast speed.

The zombie slowly fell down, and its body slowly melted like ice in high temperature.

【+Clear+】

The valve was tightened again and the poisonous mist quickly dissipated.

[+I didn't expect that we would meet here again, God bless you+]

Seeing Horatio slowly approaching, the medical sister said to him.

The familiar voice reminded the nun of a chance encounter she had with him.

Horatio nodded.

[+Sister Arabella, what happened? +]

[+We lost contact with the other team. Only our team successfully reached the life support cabin, but there was a Fallen Space Marine guarding it. He killed our two sisters, and our explosive bombs could not cause effective damage to him+]

【+Fallen Space Marine? +】Louise asked.

【+A Death Guard Plague Warrior+】

After these words were spoken, the scouts looked at each other in bewilderment.

[+God-Emperor, how can we fight a Fallen Space Marine? And a stinky Plague Marine at that! +] David Betty asked in disbelief.

[+I can use the Holy Light of Faith to blind him for a short period of time, disrupting and delaying him for a period of time+] Sister Arabella said.

[+I think I have a plan+] Horatio said.
