Chapter 309 Fury
"here we go again……"
Lu Mingfei frowned, enduring the severe pain in his head that was accompanied by the strange banging sound, as if someone wanted to use an ax to open his head and insert or separate the memory of another person.
This is not the first time he has encountered this weird banging sound that can disturb his spirit. According to Zero, the children who were used as experimental subjects in the Black Swan Port have all undergone "pontine split surgery", linking the left and right halves. The nerves of the brain were severed and split into two different half-areas; Lu Mingfei initially thought that this was similar to the "tonic ganglion", a special organ of the Astartes, which could intervene to shut down different brain areas in a timed manner when the mind is extremely tired. Just like reptiles or some marine creatures, the left and right brains work alternately, greatly enhancing the Astartes' fatigue resistance and continuous combat capabilities.
But in fact, this kind of surgery will only promote split personality, and the personality of the other half of the sleeping brain will be controlled by weird banging sounds. Zero said that this technology comes from Dr. Herzog, the person in charge of Black Swan Port, who is now Life or death is unknown.
But he quickly broke away from this mental pain. Having endured the torture of "Blood Thirst" and "Black Rage", he naturally would not give in. His pupils were filled with golden lava, and his left arm popped out. The muzzle of the bolt gun was raised, pointed in the direction where the banging sound came from in the darkness, and five rounds fired at different angles.
The bomb trailed its tail flame and disappeared into the darkness. The flash of fire failed to illuminate anything, and it was not sure whether the "person" hiding in the darkness knocking the clapper was hit - but it was disturbing. The sound of banging did indeed disappear after the gunshot, and the roar of wind and snow filled my ears again.
Lu Mingfei stared at the deep, impenetrable darkness beyond his sight for a long time, and finally chose to turn around and leave, stepping on the charred debris on the ground.
"Did something special happen, Captain? I saw you stood there for a while. Do you want me to shoot that place again?"
Fingel, covered in thick scales, jumped out of the hovercraft to greet him.
"It's okay at the moment, but we still need to be more vigilant and don't let down and underestimate the enemy." Lu Mingfei shook his head and his face returned to calm.
Back in the cabin, Fingel, who had put back his clothes, proudly introduced the magic and power of the Dragon Talisman to Chu Tianjiao and Buning. The powerful firepower just shown was enough to dispel human beings' fear of unknown monsters;
But Zero still looked a little shaken, even if she thought it was her and Zero's Deadpool, they were all cleanly destroyed by a single shot of Jun Yan. She didn't know why she subconsciously thought that those Deadpools were the experimental children, soldiers and nurses from Black Swan Harbor.
"Calm down, kid, there won't be any aliens or heretics that can stop us." Lu Mingfei comforted her.
He believed that others did not hear the banging sound because he had not undergone surgery to split the pons. This child, who had also been in Black Swan Harbor but had not undergone surgery, was undoubtedly lucky. It was difficult for him to imagine other children with split pons. How much torture and pain people will suffer when they hear the sound of bangzi.
Lu Mingfei became interested in the name "Dr. Herzog". According to Zero's description and the information collected, Dr. Jung von Herzog is the person in charge of Black Swan Port and a talented scientist who studies genetic engineering. He discovered that without knowing it, And study the genes of hybrid humans.
It sounded a bit like the biological sages of the Mechanicus. He had seen these unique sages showing considerable enthusiasm for the corpses of the Zerg aliens. But for some reason, Lu Mingfei subconsciously believed that the other party he had never met before was a heinous heretic, and there was no need for any communication other than the sound of blaster gunfire.
This feeling is quite strange. However, judging from the pons split surgery, maybe this idea is correct. He can fill the bolt gun with his own bolts in advance.
"Everyone, be on alert and beware of traps. We are very close to our first destination. Anything that dares to stand in our way will be crushed as an enemy of the Emperor."
Lu Mingfei took another deep look at the deep darkness outside the porthole. The unknown malice had not retreated. It seemed to be waiting and luring him deeper, and then fell into the trap it had carefully prepared.
Just like the name of the alchemical weapon he carries, reason makes him calm and calm.
…
The violent wind swept across the sky and ravaged the land with white snow, making a strange sound like a demon roaring.
The weather is getting worse and worse, and the hovercraft is like a giant beast struggling to move forward under this violent storm, and its pace is getting slower and slower.
Seeing that the snow scraper working at the highest speed seemed to be a heavy snow that could never be scraped clean, Bunin couldn't help but feel fear and worry, as if since yesterday, this terrible nature was blocking their progress. Previously, he thought that walking with this group of people to the end might be able to witness some miracles with his own eyes. Now he just wants to end this journey as soon as possible in exchange for his daughter's side-effect-free evolutionary medicine that can treat ALS.
Young Mr. Lu is definitely not the kind of person who goes back on his word. His strength, conversation and seemingly innate temperament can make people feel enough reliability and security. Bunin trusts him very much and can only trust him. Trust him.
But fortunately, the supplies are sufficient. There is also a large amount of food and a small amount of fuel on the ship, and the next supply station is not far away. You can reach it by slowly moving forward along the rift valley terrain. After filling up the fuel station at the supply station and continuing to drive about two hundred kilometers north, you will reach the coordinates given by Her Royal Highness the Princess, called "Black Swan Port".
"I hope I can go back safely." Bunin prayed silently in his heart.
The snowfield quickly changed from dim haze to darkness. The dimension they were in was close to the city of Murmansk in the Arctic Circle. Although they had spent forty days of polar night, darkness was still the theme of the day. In addition, Affected by the unusual snowstorm, the visibility of the environment was less than ten meters.
The hovercraft continued to drive forward for two hours in this environment and then had to stop and rest for the night to refuel the oil tank, which was consuming fuel faster than expected when going against the wind.
Compressed biscuits and hot water are served for dinner, and then Buning, Fengel, Chu Tianjiao and the other three get together to play Texas Hold'em or Landlords. Ling sometimes sits nearby in a daze and sometimes joins the game, while Lu Mingfei is meditating in order to be able to Spend this long time worthily.
Then rest and keep vigil...until Fingel, who was keeping vigil, exclaimed that he discovered another group of Deadpools.
They were almost exactly the same as the group of Deadpools late last night. They stood in place without any movement or reaction. Their slender bodies seemed to be integrated into the raging snowstorm, hiding in the darkness where the light source could not reach, peeping at them. The golden eyes flickered like fireflies.
"Same as yesterday, use Jun Yan to clean them up." Lu Mingfei said calmly.
"Then I'll have to eat two more cans of beef for breakfast to replenish my strength..." Fingel looked helpless, took off his coat and walked out of the cabin with the Dragon Talisman.
The sun briefly rose over the pitch-black snowfield, and after the flames soaring into the sky extinguished, it returned to darkness and lonely wind and snow.
On the third day, it was the repetition of rushing, stopping the ship, resting, playing cards, keeping vigil, Deadpool appeared, Jun Yan cleaned the ground, and continued to rest.
The blizzard seemed to never end, and their journey to the next supply station seemed to be endless. Their forward speed slowed down significantly, and Bunin, who was responsible for driving, also felt a little depressed.
Lu Mingfei stopped him and started the fourth day of rest in advance. Everyone realized something was wrong, and in order to cheer up and dispel the panic, they had steaming beef hot pot for dinner.
The leisure time of playing cards was replaced by discussion and brainstorming.
"We should be trapped in the Nibelungs now, otherwise we can't explain the damn weather and those real ghosts." Chu Tianjiao expressed his guess.
"Then since we are in the Nibelungs and have trouble finding the Emperor..." Fingel looked at Lu Mingfei and asked tentatively, "Ahem... I mean, should we ask the Emperor?" Can we pray that the old man can give us some instructions?"
"Don't pray, there is something very wrong in this Nibelungen. If you do pray, there may be a blasphemous being other than the will of the Emperor who responds and plays tricks on us."
Lu Mingfei shook his head and objected. An invisible malice had been haunting him ever since he heard the bang. He thought it was a sequelae of the pons split surgery, but when he was resting and meditating today, the malice finally showed its true face and turned into a substantial whisper lingering in his ears.
There is no doubt that this malice comes from the devil of blasphemy.
But why are there demons? Wasn't the All-Changing Demon Lord completely destroyed? Or is there a new demon coming here?
It's very possible, after all, this is the Nibelungen, a special country forged by aliens with spiritual elements, and it has an inexplicable connection with the supreme sky of the dark universe... A heavy haze cast over his heart.
"Then what should we do? Just stay here? Although we have enough food, we don't have enough fuel. Once the fuel stops, this ship will be no different from a refrigerator." Chu Tianjiao looked solemn.
"Tomorrow I will go out with the Fingel brothers to investigate the situation. If possible, we will find and solve the evil thing." Lu Mingfei said, "I'll leave this to you."
"You want me to stay behind again... Okay, only your armor can withstand this kind of horrible weather."
Chu Tianjiao has no objection to this. It is safest to stay on a hovercraft in this weather. Trekking in extreme cold is quite dangerous even for hybrids. Unlike these two people, he has not received any magical transformation and can transform into a human being. The body develops hard and strong scales.
"What should I do if those ghosts show up again tonight? Or will Jun Yan wash the ground?" Fingel shook the dragon talisman in his hand, which was no less powerful than a rocket launcher. He took two pieces from the alchemist sergeant. , one of which was given to Chu Tianjiao.
"No...let me handle it."
Lu Mingfei shook his head. If those dead waiters were also one of the devil's tricks to play on him, he would use this to confirm which Chaos Evil God the other party came from and be prepared to deal with them.
…
At night, Lu Mingfei, who was in a light sleep, opened his eyes and looked out the window with a feeling. No matter where the hovercraft went, the group of dead waiters would always appear in a specific position to peek at them.
"Captain... only one came this time, and the others seem to have not arrived yet." Fingel, who was responsible for the night watch, stared out the window with a monocular telescope. "Did they receive the news in advance, and then they all Are you afraid of your glory and don’t dare to come?”
Lu Mingfei frowned slightly. He really didn't notice those Deadpools whose eyes were like fireflies. There was only a thin figure huddled in the darkness where the light source couldn't reach.
"When did it appear?"
"Just now, I was planning to wake you up." Fingel whispered.
"Okay, I'll go over and have a close encounter with it."
Lu Mingfei stood up, put on warm clothes, and took off the sword emblem ring he wore on his right hand. The alchemical field opened up, and the brilliance like molten gold flowed; when he walked out of the cabin, the ring in his hand had turned into a handful. The giant metal blade nearly two meters long, the smooth blade is covered with sharp serrations as sharp as dragon teeth, and the exquisite and complicated alchemical formations emit a faint light in the darkness.
"Captain, I'll follow you to be safe." Fingel woke up Chu Tianjiao and asked him to pay attention. At the same time, he put on a heavy military coat and followed.
The sound of the wind around him was like the howling of evil spirits. Lu Mingfei dragged his reason and approached the dark figure sitting huddled on the ground. The other person seemed to notice his approach, and the head buried in his knees lifted up.
"Don't you get bored of playing tricks like this all the time?" Lu Mingfei said indifferently. The metal prosthetic body of his left arm disintegrated regularly, and dark explosive shells ejected from the muzzle.
The other party's face was exactly the same as his, but his physique and figure were thinner and thinner than his, with no muscles and strength. The eyes staring at him were decadent and negative, making people feel no threat.
But the next second, the look he stared at himself became extremely vicious:
"I am Lu Mingfei! You war lunatic! Mutant monster! You stole my life!"
"You still want to sacrifice the entire earth to an evil god and drag all humans into another quagmire of war..."
"boom!"
A scarlet blood flower exploded from "Lu Mingfei's" neck, and he fell weakly on the snow.
Lu Mingfei smashed his head indifferently:
"I am who I am, unique. Such boring and profane words have no effect on me."
"Pfft."
A soft, weird laugh came from the howling wind and snow, "Isn't it boring? Then I'll let you see something exciting, a cute little angel."
The sound of banging was fierce and rapid, like a march in battle, and the imaginary ax seemed to be carving away at Lu Mingfei's brain at the same fierce speed, causing him severe pain.
The scene in front of him changed instantly. Lu Mingfei saw two giants fighting fiercely not far away in front of him. One of them... or rather, both of them were familiar to him.
One is wearing bright and holy golden armor, with huge white wings on his back, and his face is noble and beautiful; the other is blasphemous and terrifying, wearing a ferocious battle armor engraved with chaos characters, his appearance is as majestic as a mountain, a giant wolf His fur covered the top of the mountain, and the blood-red light illuminated his terrifying face. Various pipelines and fiber optic bundles extended from his shaved skull like braids, which was in harmony with this ferocious and blasphemous look. The armor merged into one.
The battle of the fall of Saint Leth was a scene that any descendant of the angel tortured by the Black Fury would often see... But this time, Lu Mingfei could see it more clearly than ever before, as if he was really immersed in the scene. , and really faced the deceiver and the great rebel Horus Lucopel side by side with the father of genes.
"Calm down! Calm down! Lu Mingfei, this is not real, this is a trick of the devil..."
Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain caused by the sound of bangs in his brain. This was the most intense sensory experience he had ever experienced after being exposed to the sound of bangs. He also forced himself not to look at the battle going on in front of him. These are all illusory scenes. He is not in that dark universe, and tens of thousands of years have passed since the battle of the fall of Saint Leth...
But it was hard to resist. Those images were like splitting his brain with an ax and forcing them in, inducing the black fury deep in his soul to erupt; the noble father of genes waved his wings and soared quickly, waving the red dye. The blade constantly delivers gorgeous, holy and deadly attacks to the Deceiver and the Rebellion. Each sword is a model of the Blood Angels' swordsmanship. Lu Mingfei can't take his eyes away from the majestic body of the Gene Father.
The screen twitched, and the next second, he saw the huge claws of Horus the Deceiver grabbing the ankle of the flying Gene Father and smashing him into the floor. His white wings were crushed between his body and the floor. The frightening and blood-curdling sound of bone cracking could be heard clearly.
"No!" Lu Mingfei/Katos shouted in horror.
The angel's beautiful and noble face was stained with blood. He did not let out a painful groan, groping for the fallen sword blade, but still stood up strong and charged and attacked his betrayed brother;
The screen twitched again. The next second, the angel's head was caught in the hands of the deceiver. The giant hammer named World Breaker hit the angel's upper hip with a heavy frontal strike, breaking him into two halves. It smashed a relief like a doll;
The scene continued to twitch, and the next second, the deceived man's giant claws penetrated the angel hanging in his hand and was thrown down. Every wound was squeezing each other and screaming, causing him painful torture. Before he could fall, The angel rose from the ground, and Horus the Deceiver swung his giant hammer, shattering the bones on the left side of the angel's body...
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no—!!!”
Katos let out a heartbreaking roar and rushed forward madly, dragging the giant blade in his hand, trying to use all his strength to stop the traitor and buy even a second of breathing time for the father of genes.
Reason was gone, and rage had filled his mind.
But the distance between him and the field of vision in front of him seemed to be an infinitesimal distance. No matter how hard he charged, he could not get close to the reality of the scene. He could only watch in horror as the deceiver swung his giant hammer, brutally hitting and crushing the angel with one blow after another. Indomitable will and body.
Until the shattered angel was lifted up by the deceiver's giant claws. As the claws closed, Katos heard a heartbreaking double crack of the spine and neck.
…
"Horus!!!!!"
Fingel watched in horror as Lu Mingfei, who was not far ahead, let out a furious roar and rushed into the deep darkness without looking back, dragging the giant blade without looking back.
"Captain! What are you doing, Commander!!"
He wanted to rush up and stop Lu Mingfei, but he heard the howling wind bringing extremely excited laughter. It seemed that someone was quite satisfied with his prank.
PS: The angel in the original text was not beaten into a "sauce" (this is a rumor, and the original text is quite sadistic, not funny at all), but "just" suffered comminuted fractures all over the body... (Although my clarification is also hell...
