I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 184: Secret Room & Binding, the Darkest Day for the Inner Circle Veterans

Time goes back to the moment when the boarding ship just entered the frigate.

The laser cutter roughly tore open the frigate's armor plates, and the hard ceramic steel drill bit pierced into the ship's outer hull. The boarding ship shook violently, and the harsh cutting noise was endless.

A few seconds later, with a clang, the boarding boat collided with the keel of the lower deck of the ship and stopped immediately.

"呲-"

The pneumatic gates pushed outward, clearing away the debris around the boarding ship and making room for the inner circle veterans from the Broken Claw Order to walk.

Thirteen fully armed space marines entered the Ounian frigate.

They were wearing MK3 power armor painted white.

This power armor is known as "steel armor" and is an improved version of the MK2 "Expedition" power armor.

It has additional armor plating on its limbs, head, and front chest.

The protection of the back is not strengthened, and this weakness is compensated by the close cooperation of the boarding team, which tests the tacit understanding and discipline among the team members.

This type of power armor focuses on frontal defense and assault, and is specially designed for combat in narrow environments such as boarding battles and boarding battles.

Put it on and we will be the fiercest men on this ship!
Captain Monritt read out a short and long code on the throat communicator and redirected the communication signal to the internal encrypted communication channel.

The holographic tactical sand table projected a blood-red grid pattern onto his retina.

"The entire team is advancing in a wedge shape. The second fire group is blocking the six o'clock ventilation hole. There are six life signals at the corner five hundred yards ahead. An explosion signal has been detected and confirmed to be a smoke bomb."

"Bang, bang, bang." Three smoke bombs were fired from a grenade launcher, bouncing and refracting on the right-angled wall and falling into the passage where the inner ring veterans were.

The smoke bomb exploded, creating thick gray smoke.

The power armor's radiator grille automatically closes, and the air circulation system switches to internal circulation, preventing smoke particles from entering the power armor from all directions.

Assaulter Barbers raised his shield and rushed into the smoke first. The heavy grenade launcher in his right hand was placed on the edge of the shield and spewed out gunfire. Bolt bullets were fired one after another at the right angle bend in front of him, continuously suppressing the Onye people.

The enemy seemed to have no intention of engaging them head-on.

The boarding team encountered no resistance and passed directly through the smoke area, but was immediately blocked by a heavy gate.

It was obvious that the Onye people were trying their best to delay the speed of the boarding team. They released the smoke bomb just now to buy time to open the gate.

Montrit signaled to the technical sergeant Negson in the team.

Negson passed through the gap vacated by his companion, first using a handheld auspicious device to scan the scene behind the door, and then took out a multi-tooth cracker to remove the hinges and locks of the gate.

"This gate has an anti-electromagnetic layer installed, so the scanning signal of the auspicious instrument cannot penetrate it. Be prepared to engage the enemy, and I will open the door after I count down to three."

Negson retracted the multi-tooth cracker, put his hand on the handrail of the gate, and looked at Babers beside him.

The two men counted to three in their hearts, Negson pulled open the gate with force, and Barbers rushed in with a shield.

"Bang bang bang bang——"

Gunshots rang out at the end of the corridor behind the door.

With superhuman reflexes, Babers found the source of the gunfire, aimed there, pulled the trigger, and responded with a violent barrage of bolt bullets.

A group of people passed through the gate one by one, pointing their guns at every corner where enemies might emerge. Scarlet goggles were shining with star-like light, and the surrounding environmental information was constantly fed back into the holographic field of vision through sensors.

"Cease fire, that's a decoy bomb." Monritt said in a deep voice.

The gunfire within the team subsided, and the scan results showed that no living creatures were killed in the exchange of fire.

The gunfire they heard after passing through the gate was just a decoy bullet set by the Onye people at the corner ahead.

"These Onye people are no different from rats. They knew we were coming and they all hid themselves away."

Babers sneered in the internal channel and covered his companions as they moved forward with steady but swift steps, not stopping for a moment for the decoy bullets.

They moved quickly through the lower deck, passing a dozen intersections where they might be ambushed.

But what was strange was that no Onye people came out to stop them, as if all the aliens on the ship had evaporated.

Just as they were about to go directly to the bridge via the elevator, a golden-white energy barrier appeared in the passage ahead, blocking their way.

"Om."

Amid the slight sound of electrophoresis, a barrier composed of countless golden and white dots emerged out of thin air, leaving bright star spots on the goggles of the inner ring veterans.

"It's just a trick. It's just a layer of energy shield. Watch me tear it apart."

Babers moved forward steadily, about to collide with the energy barrier, but was stopped by the technical sergeant in the team.

"Don't go over there, Barbers. When did the Onye people master such advanced force field technology?!" Negson's voice trembled slightly, as if he had seen some incredible technological creation.

Negson is a Space Marine who focuses on technological research and mechanical manufacturing. He has received professional training on Mars and is defined as a technical sergeant among the Space Marines.

Thanks to the scientific and technological knowledge he had learned in the past, he was able to immediately detect the threat from the golden and white light curtain.

He stopped his teammates in time to avoid a tragedy.

Now, he had to make his teammates understand that although the golden and white light curtain looked light and thin, it contained terrifying power that was enough to destroy the entire team.

"Everyone, that's a cationic barrier. If we come into contact with it, there will be only one outcome, and that is that all the pipes in the power armor will be short-circuited. This hard armor we are wearing will become a burden and a coffin for us."

Negson pointed at the golden-white energy barrier, trying to calm his teammates and warning them not to do anything rash.

But some people didn't quite believe what he said.

Babers shook the shield in his hand and a voice message came out:
"Cations? What cations? If it's a particle related to electromagnetism, I don't believe it can penetrate the armor and harm our pipelines."

"The destructiveness of cations is indeed related to electromagnetism, but that is not the entire power of cations."

Negson explained patiently:

"Cations are atoms that lack a few electrons due to external factors. When they come into contact with normal particles, they will trigger cationic polymerization, which means they will steal electrons from normal atoms. The atoms whose electrons have been stolen will become new cations, and they will continue to steal electrons from other atoms.

"This polymerization reaction is a chain reaction. Once it starts, it is difficult to stop. Theoretically, as long as a cation passes through our armor, the pipeline will be paralyzed within a few seconds, and the strong electromagnetic pulse will be enough to knock us out."

"So exaggerated? The Ounye people have this kind of technology?" Babers unconsciously made the same exclamation as Negson, and then asked:
"Can we block this cation by closing the radiator grille?"

"Unfortunately, no. The connection between our sensor lens and the armor joint can only block molecular-level interference, but cannot resist atomic-level cation flow. The energy shield can resist the cation flow, but..."

However, the MK3 power armor is not equipped with a shield generator.

There was no need for Negson to point this out, everyone could naturally guess it.

Looking around, the veteran felt more and more stressed.

A total of four cationic barriers in front, behind, left and right blocked the boarding team's way.

The ceiling surface also has a cationic barrier.

The floor beneath your feet is made of metal and has no cations.

But the problem is that below this deck is the exterior of the ship.

Blowing up the floor would undoubtedly be a way to death.

Five cationic barriers form a secret chamber made of cationic barriers.

Behind the barriers in front, behind, left and right, about a hundred meters away from the boarding team, there appeared many figures wearing plastic steel armor and holding explosive weapons.

Judging from the skin color revealed through the gaps in their armor and the scan results of the sensors, these armed men are all Onye people.

Different from the image of privateers in the rumors, the Onye people in front of them were well-equipped, strictly disciplined, and exuded an air of competence.

These are not free and undisciplined privateers, they are clearly well-trained armed forces.

Such a team, coupled with the cationic barrier that blocked their way, gave the inner ring veterans a bad feeling.

"It seems we have fallen into a trap," Negson said.

"The Onie people had a plan. They deliberately sent a frigate and a powerless barge into our system to lure us into a boarding battle, with the goal of trapping us in a cation trap. They wanted to capture us alive."

Negson's analysis made everyone nod slightly, and everyone had the same idea in their minds.

"Negson, can the device that destroys the inside of the wall destroy the cationic barrier?"

This time it was the team leader who spoke.

His name was Montrit, a veteran sergeant who had participated in three battles of Randan.

As he spoke, he marked his targets with his goggles.

A dozen holographic markers appeared in the team members' holographic vision.

These markers are located exactly where the cationic barrier contacts the wall surface, where there is a circle of obvious force field lines.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the golden-white cations were bound in the channel by some kind of force field device, which formed a plane that just blocked the channel. "Captain, destroying the force field generator will have two consequences. First, the cation barrier will disappear. Second, the cation barrier will go out of control, and the cations inside will erupt in all directions, and we will inevitably come into contact with the cations."

Negson waved the muzzle of his gun and gestured in the direction of the Onye people:
"I'm not exaggerating. Take a look at the equipment of these Onye people. They have no other electronic equipment except communicators. They are obviously prepared for the tactical situation of the cationic barrier going out of control. We'd better not act rashly..."

"I don't agree with your proposal." Babers interrupted Negson and volunteered:

"If the cationic barrier is as strong as Negson said, the Onye people wouldn't be acting like rats. Let me go ahead and scout the way."

Monritt nodded slightly:
"Go ahead, Babers, we'll cover you."

"Then I'll start." Babers flashed out of the shelter and ran wildly in the corridor. The clanging footsteps were decisive and crisp, without any delay.

At the same time, his companions behind him raised their guns and aimed and fired, just standing in the corridor and pouring fire without any intention of looking for cover.

Although the power armor they are wearing is specially designed for boarding combat, it has a compact structure and uses simple materials. Its defensive performance still far exceeds that of the weapons in the hands of the Onye people, and there is no possibility of the armor being penetrated.

The Ounye people fought back against them, and in the end only the Ounye people died.

But things went counterproductive.

When the first muzzle spark burst out in the corridor, what greeted the boarding team was not a hail of bullets, but silence.

The Onye people hid in the bunkers in an orderly manner, using ceramic steel shields to resist the barrage of explosive arrows, and were determined to act like turtles.

Babers saw the enemy's move as a sign of cowardice and couldn't help but shout in the internal channel:
"Ha! These scumbags don't even dare to show their heads! Look at me rushing over and killing them!"

The next second, Babers collided head-on with the golden and white cationic barrier.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of inner circle veterans, Babers' running speed became slower and slower, and he went from sprinting to walking in three seconds.

Black smoke billowed out of his radiator grille, and a strong smell of burning filled the corridor.

"Bang!"

Babers' body swayed, and he fell to his knees, kissing the ground with his face, making a loud bang.

"Babers! Babers! Damn it! The cations destroyed his pipelines!" Negson shouted anxiously in the channel.

Captain Montrit ordered:
"Use the hook to drag Barbers back. Negson, you are responsible for checking Barbers' condition and finding a way to deal with the cationic barrier."

"receive."

The two Space Marines picked up the grappling guns on their waists, aimed at Babus' body and pulled the trigger.

Just before the hook landed on Babers, it suddenly bounced off as if it hit something.

This scene made all the veterans in the inner ring stunned.

"Why did the hook bounce off? Is this some kind of force field device, or psionic energy?"

The two Space Marines who fired the grappling hooks looked at each other.

They were about to retract the grappling hook and fire again when they saw several Onies leave their cover and walk towards Babers on the ground.

These Onye people put their guns behind their backs and stretched out their hands to Barbers, apparently wanting to carry him to another place.

"Don't let these bastards succeed." Monritt yelled and pulled the trigger first.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——————”

Gunshots rang out and a barrage of explosive arrows whizzed in.

A scene that made everyone shudder appeared.

The explosive bullet was fixed in place by an invisible force.

The bullet was spinning and vibrating in the air, but it couldn't move forward at all, as if it was embedded in a wall of air.

"What's going on?" Negson looked at the energy readings in the holographic field of view:
"I didn't detect any psychic signals. There were no other electromagnetic reactions at the scene except for the electromagnetic signals of the cationic barrier. Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

No one answered Negson, and no one knew what was going on.

However, one of the veterans seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said:
"I heard that the Onye people have a very confusing concept of mate selection, and cross-species relationships are common..."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became gloomy, and almost everyone subconsciously thought of the scene where the Onye people had touched their own veterans...

The Emperor is above!

What a blasphemy!
Monritt yelled:
"Keep firing! Don't let them take Babers!"

Everyone came to their senses and pulled the trigger, as did the other veterans in the inner circle.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang————”

The heavy grenade launchers roared, and dense bullets swarmed towards the Onye people like a swarm of bees.

But the Onye people who were carrying Babers were not afraid at all, and did not even glance at the whistling barrage of bullets.

They worked together to lift Barbers, and laboriously carried the man in MK3 power armor to the back of the corner ahead.

Behind them, hundreds or even thousands of explosive bullets hovered in the air, forming a honeycomb-like plane, enough to cause any patient with trypophobia to have a seizure on the spot.

"Do not!!"

Monritt roared and walked forward, unable to accept the outcome of his subordinates being captured by aliens.

He approached the cationic barrier step by step, but was pulled back by Negson.

"Captain! Don't go over there!"

The volley was interrupted and several team members grabbed their captain to avoid more casualties.

“Ding-Ding-Dang-Dang——”

The explosive bullet that was fixed in the air fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The Ounies captured one Space Marine alive and suffered no losses.

On the contrary, the Dark Angels Legion's inner circle of veteran soldiers suffered casualties and wasted a large amount of ammunition.

Monritt's chest was heaving violently, and his heavy breathing could be heard in the corridor even through the heavy armor.

He slowly retreated with anger and coldness, away from the cationic barrier, and discussed countermeasures with his teammates.

The boarding team held their guns and looked at the Onye people vigilantly. From the outside, it seemed that there was no further action.

The scene became quiet for a moment, with only the hum of the ship's engines.

On the other side, inside the bridge.

Four Blood Crow boys worked together to carry the Space Marines in here.

Li Nuo opened his eyes and ended a short Waaagh simulation.

He was there when the Inner Ring veteran shot the Blood Crow Boy just now.

He possessed the body of the Blood Crow Boy who was carrying the Space Marines, controlled Barbers through his bacterial ability - Brain Rigidity, and then used Vibration to freeze the barrage of explosive arrows.

"Strip off his power armor and lining, leaving only his underwear."

Li Nuo's consciousness returned from the Blood Crow Boy to Crone, and he gave orders in the language of the purple-skinned people.

Following his order, the Blood Crow boys around him reached out and groped the Space Marines.
Some of Blood Crow Boy's genetic fragments come from Technician Boy.

This makes them naturally dexterous with "mechanical devices".

With just a little groping around in the shell and crevices of the power armor, they found a way to open the armor safely.

At this time, the Space Marine was still in a state of being immobilized by brain freeze.

Judging from the amount of brain freeze consumed, it can be seen that the willpower of the Space Marines is far beyond that of ordinary people.

[You consumed 100 kg of stupid mushrooms and launched a brain freeze on an unknown space marine.]

[Affected by the target's willpower, the duration of brain freeze is only 1.3 seconds. ]

100 kg can only be held for 1.3 seconds.

Fortunately, Li Nuo developed a good habit of always maintaining the inventory of common fungi such as Li's shock mushroom, fluorescent spores, and stupid mushroom at more than 100 million tons, otherwise it would not be able to withstand such consumption.

After removing his armor, the Space Marine in front of him was left with only his underwear.

Blood Crow Boy moved him onto the table and used magnetic cables to secure his head, torso, and limbs.

"Hehehe~" Li Nuo walked closer with a laugh, picked up the scalpel, and stretched out his "sinful" hands towards the Space Marine on the table.
