Chapter 17

Just as soshyang straightened up and was facing the next grave spider, an unprecedented tremor penetrated the soles of his boots and made him flip to the ground.

When he got up, he noticed changes in all directions. It seemed that the whole world engine began to collapse.

On the ground, on the walls, even on columns and statues, millions of special-shaped characters flicker and emit disgusting green light.

To make matters worse, a large number of necromancer warriors appeared on both sides of the gate. They kept approaching this side with the hissing sound of green energy activation, while the team led by Fowler was still struggling with the tomb spider.

The only good news was that the closed door opened a gap because of the strong tremor, enough to accommodate the star soldiers.

Vollow, who stood up again after overturning the grave spider, immediately issued a new order.

"Alexei, take your men to support the commander of the war. We will give you the rear!"

"What..."

"Execute command!"

Before soshyan could continue to ask questions, Fowler roared:

"Concentrate fire! Clear the way!"

For a moment, the corridor echoed the roar of detonating gun fire, and the dense fire immediately tore up the space undead separated between the battlefield and the gate. More importantly, they twitched and burst out sparks, and then collapsed to the ground, allowing the scarabs to climb up their bodies for repair.

"Come on!"

At the urging of Fowler, soshyan put aside all his thoughts, began to run faster and continued to shoot forward.

NAD and Axel formed a assault arrow around him and went deep into the infantry queue of space dead.

The lame Okam volunteered to take the position behind the hall. While struggling, he occasionally stopped and fired a series of explosives on the way they came.

"Hot melt bomb!! thirty second fuse!"

Vollow's roar echoed in the communication channel, and soshyan could only blunt his head and run all the way towards the crack in the gate.

But when they got close, they found that it was not unobstructed.

The fifth tomb spider, then impressively perched on the gate, but before it moved, people mistakenly thought it was a statue.

When soshyan and his party approached, it revived.

The huge metal structure twisted and trembled on the black base, the green crystal clusters connected to the head flickered, and the energy pulsating in the circuit connected to the base.

"Keep moving! I'll cover it!"

Finally, Okam untied the last grenade from his waist and threw it at the awakened grave spider.

With a loud bang, soshyan and other three people scattered through the gap of the gate under the cover of grenades. While Okam also moved forward, a metal appendage stretched out from the destruction cloud formed by the explosion and pulled towards the veteran.

The blow went deep into Okam's shoulder and made him stagger back.

Although he didn't bring blood, this also made Okam lose the chance to enter the crack.

"Soshyan, don't look back and keep going."

With this sentence down, Okam turned off his communicator, raised his gun and fired at the target.

In the roar, bullets destroyed one of the appendages of the structure in the burst of blue flame, but that's all, because the undead warriors behind have caught up.

Boom——

A flash of light and a huge explosion made soshyan finally realize that he had entered the central temple.

"This place looks like it's going to break."

Axel kept a minimum of humor even on such occasions.

But he was right, because at the entrance of this huge temple, part of the dome has collapsed and the ground has begun to collapse. If they stay here, they are likely to be crushed or trapped.

"Keep going."

Soshyan's voice was accompanied by a thunderous explosion. He turned his head over his backpack and looked at the way he came.

Through the crack in the gate, soshyan could clearly see that the dazzling green light had disappeared, replaced by the crackling of the Skinner's claws and the burning emerald eyes full of hatred in the dark.

It is impossible to turn back, and the roar of the bomb gun is gradually gone

After a few seconds of silence for his fighting brothers, soshyan continued to go deep with NAD and Aksai. They passed through the magnificent corridor and entered the hall full of statues and ordnance. Everywhere they could see were broken metal debris and occasionally a touch of blood stained silver.

It is obvious that there has been fierce fighting here.

But it's strange that there are a few complete aliens on the ground. They have only one huge eye on their bare head, and some exaggerated long-range weapons are scattered around them.

These strange souls could not see the scars on their appearance, but lay on the ground motionless.

The three were very careful when passing them. Soshyan even shot one of them in the head, but there was still no response.

"No one, no aliens."

Nader's muzzle kept moving to the right of the three man team, but there was only dead silence in the hall and darkness that could not be penetrated by the night vision.

"That's strange."

Axel suddenly spoke, and he was on the left guard.

"What?"

Soshyan paused.

"Aren't you surprised?"

Axel turned his head to him, and soshyan could know how the other party looked even through his helmet.

"Lord vollow, it seems that he is specially to escort you in. The previous company commander has the same attitude. It's almost... It's almost like they fight for you."

"What are you talking about?"

"I've always felt that way."

Nader's voice joined the channel.

"Soshyan, there's something I didn't tell you. When we entered the landing module, I found that the commander of the war seemed to be watching us all the time."

"Commander Zhan?"

Soshyan recalled for a moment, but did not notice whether amurad appeared.

"Yes, I can see clearly that he is standing with the foundry master Salax, behind a shelf about 200 meters away from us -"

Before he dropped his voice, a lightning bolt broke through the air like a whip and hit Nader directly.

"Ah!"

With a low roar, Nader staggered back. He looked down and found that his left arm had become a bloody broken limb.

"Enemy attack!"

Akesai's roar immediately remembered that soshyan quickly raised his gun and observed around.

I saw countless figures moving in the deep darkness, and they were gathering. The green weapons crackled with the terrible energy operation. In the distance, the outline of a pyramid was gradually emerging.

Boom!

Just when soshyan and his party were almost surrounded, the roar and shock like volcanic eruption were transmitted to the soles of their boots through the earth. The three star soldiers quickly activated the magnetic lock to fix themselves in place, and the dead machines fell one after another like puppets pushed down.

Then, the hall collapsed horribly, and millions of tons of boulders fell down. Soshyang quickly took refuge with two comrades in arms.

In the process, soshyan saw a huge structure rising to the void through the gap exposed in the dome. Its shape was like a huge and sharp sickle.

After briefly hanging in midair, it flew away at incredible speed, followed by two smaller models.

Soshyan knew it was the spacecraft of the space dead, but their posture reminded him of the escape capsule on the storm.

It seems that they are running away

However, considering the characteristics of these soulless machines, it's incredible that they will abandon the war and flee. Aren't these dead spirits one heart?

Just as soshyan focused on the strange shape of the sky, the already shaky dome completely collapsed. Before a pile of boulders shrouded him, a hand pushed him from behind.
