Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

After eliminating the enemy leader, the next step is to clear out the thieves gathered outside.

In fact, the gene stealers outside had already sensed something was wrong the moment the time bomb exploded.

However, out of caution, they did not act immediately, which gave Xiao Yi and his group the initiative in the ensuing battle.

Several smoke bombs were thrown out from the crack in the door of the conference hall, releasing a large amount of smoke. In just two seconds, the surroundings turned into a gray-white world.

Losing sight, the cunning thief could only fire wildly into the unknown smoke.

Unbeknownst to them, their bullets, once inside their blind spot, were bound by some unseen force and remained motionless.

This is Xiao Yi's masterpiece, but unlike usual, this time he did not use psionic energy, but another special ability derived from himself, the ability to change the atomic structure of matter.

If I'm not mistaken, the human scientists who originally created his body added a fragment of a star god, which gave him the ability to alter the structure of matter and manipulate the laws of physics.

Of course, compared to psionic energy, Xiao Yi's development of the Star God's abilities is still somewhat insufficient, making it difficult to use them for attacks.

It can only be used to make some weapons and equipment or to make bullets stay in the air for a while.

However, compared to psionic powers, the Celestials' abilities have one major advantage: after excessive use, one will not hear the warp whispers that lead to corruption.

Although Xiao Yi was confident in resisting these temptations, the feeling of someone nagging in his ear every day was really uncomfortable, and it even affected his normal sleep.

Taking advantage of the enemy's loss of sight, Redmond and his men moved a table made of some unknown material to the doorway and mounted a heavy logging gun on it.

After so many days of fighting, the cunning strategist's ammunition depletion was nearly exhausted, so after withstanding the most intense wave of attacks, the Empire was given a brief respite.

Xiao Yi reached out and clenched his fist, causing all the bullets that had been suspended in the air to fall to the ground. The imperial soldiers, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seized the opportunity to fire and retaliate.

The intense firepower threw the enemies gathered in the square into chaos.

The mixed-race believer, who was near the edge, reached the exit amidst the crowd. Looking at the dark tunnel and the chaotic scene behind him, he decided to leave for the time being.

Only by surviving could they continue to multiply and grow their tribe, but after only a few steps, a burst of fire appeared in front of the tunnel, turning them into sieves.

Xiao Yi wasn't foolish enough to leave the exit to the enemy. Before the operation even began, Charles had already led several small teams to sneak into the tunnel.

For this surprise attack, Xiao Yi brought almost all the soldiers from the First and Thirteenth Regiments, including many new recruits who had no combat experience whatsoever.

If this operation succeeds, the war to eradicate the Genestealer cult will be 80% complete.

The cunning thieves, realizing their escape route was cut off, went completely mad.

Several large men who didn't look very bright, wielding all sorts of strange weapons, squeezed out from the cunning crowd and launched a deadly charge toward the nearest escape route.

Aberrations are special individuals created due to genetic defects, possessing strength far exceeding that of their kind.

However, gaining this power comes at a price. The mutants have low intelligence, and without someone to command them, they are simply easy targets.

They are the Tyranid version of the Euglin apes.

Because of its large size, the mutant's actions immediately attracted Xiao Yi's attention.

"Concentrate your firepower and take out those troublesome guys first!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately turned their guns around and unleashed a barrage of fire at the mutant.

But this did not stop the other side's madness. The gene stealers knew that this was their last chance. If they could not break through and escape, their entire race would perish here.

Driven by the aberration, all the cunning thieves in the underground plaza changed their targets. The Imperial soldiers, who had not yet gained a foothold, had no time to form an effective defensive line and could only fire wildly to slow down the enemy's advance.

Seeing that they were about to collapse, Xiao Yi decided to lend a hand.

"Charle, you're in charge here for now. Don't let any alien get away. I'm going to plug that gap."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

After taking down the mixed-race believer who was almost charging at him with his explosive gun, Xiao Yi bent his knees slightly, gathered his strength, and charged straight out.

But after rushing less than five meters, a different kind of gunshot rang out from the passage that was about to be breached.

Xiao Yi was very familiar with this sound; it was the sound of a bomb being fired!

The bomb gun is the standard primary weapon of the Space Marines (Astartes). It can fire large-caliber solid explosive rounds, primarily used for armor penetration and internal explosion at close to medium range.

The powerful recoil meant that explosive guns could not be widely deployed in ordinary armies.

Even though the equipment used were all lightweight modified explosive guns, there were humans like Xiao Yi who could use them normally, but they were extremely rare in the entire empire.

The Oglin apes could ignore the recoil, but their intelligence was insufficient to use such a difficult weapon, so there is only one possibility.

The thought in his mind made Xiao Yi pause in his steps.

The sound of the bomb gun grew closer, and the previously frenzied gene stealers shrank back as if they had seen something terrifying.

Several unlucky ones who were slower and fell behind were accurately shot in the head, their brains mixed with blood splattering onto the surrounding survivors, adding to their fear.

The heavy footsteps grew closer, and three tall figures stood like a city wall in front of the exit.

The black flame insignia burning on the shoulder armor was exactly the same as the one Xiao Yi had seen in the Gene Stealer Network. They were the Space Marines who suddenly appeared in the underground lair and killed the cunning chieftain.

Not only Xiao Yi, but the attention of the other Imperial soldiers was also shocked by the three Space Marines who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and the dense gunfire even thinned out a bit as a result.

Two warriors and a pharmacist worked in perfect harmony, mercilessly slaughtering the human enemies before them.

The magazines of the bomb guns were quickly emptied, and after losing their ranged attack capabilities, they quickly switched to chainsaws and engaged the pureblood gene stealers in battle.

"Then could it be...?"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Redmond momentarily forgot he was still on the battlefield. Fortunately, Xiao Yi pulled him back in time, preventing a stray bullet from appearing out of nowhere from punching a hole in his head.

"This is a battlefield. If you don't want to die, fucking kill the aliens on your side!"

To ensure everyone could hear his commands clearly, Xiao Yi used his spiritual energy to transmit his voice to everyone's ears.

Upon hearing his roar, the stunned Imperial soldiers immediately snapped back into battle mode.

The Space Marine, who had just dealt with a first-generation gene stealer, glanced at Xiao Yi, but quickly returned to the battle.
