Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

Something was wrong. What was coming from those black stone tunnels was not just the infrasonic noise produced by the quantum pulse engines.

The Space Marines immediately raised their alert, and Hill threw a long-lasting flash bomb, and the dark Black Stone Cave was suddenly illuminated like day.

Coming out of the cave that was supposed to be empty was a team of fully armed metal skeletons.

They were hunched over, approaching the Astartes with firm steps and the same frequency. Luo Xi saw that these metal skeletons were holding some Gauss separation guns with a faint green glow, and some double-barreled Gauss explosion guns that looked even more terrifying.

"Get out of the way! That's a Gauss weapon!"

Luo Xi's voice immediately exploded in the communication channel, and then he took the lead and rolled to hide behind a thick black stone pillar.

"It's the Necrons, they've awakened!"

"Hill, Nikonna, Blacksmith, prepare to fight!"

The Space Marines reacted much faster than Roche's signal. These warriors with super-fast nerve reflexes each looked for cover and avoided the green beams released by the metal skeletons.

In front of everyone's eyes, everyone saw the equipment they had placed here. Whether it was metal vehicles or instruments made of organic materials, they were all decomposed and dissipated under the green light column.

Danger, extremely dangerous!

The lethality of these Gauss rays far exceeded that of explosive bombs and plasma. The Astartes realized that even if they were wearing heavy armor, even the improved Star-type power armor, the consequences of being hit would never be good.

Although the enemy is strong, the Space Marines will never be afraid of a strong enemy.

Relying on the cover of the black stone walls, the Extreme Marines actively dispersed and instantly fired heavy bombs at the heads of the Necrons.

Instantly, the primary position Alpha was filled with the loud roar of bullets exploding from the guns. The Necron warriors had no intention of avoiding it, or perhaps their slowness did not allow them to avoid it.

The powerful bomb whizzed across the short distance, accelerated by a second round of fuel, and exploded on the living metal head of the Necron.

The grenade launchers in the hands of Hill and others are all improved products of Mustafa. Due to the advancement of material technology, the lethality that these grenade launchers can produce is almost twice that of the past.

If the target is a traditional extreme power armor, even the thickest shoulder armor can be completely penetrated and killed.

However, facing an unprecedented enemy, the living metal of these Necron Warriors were only blasted with fist-sized craters. They still stood stubbornly in place, attacking the Space Marines with their Gauss weapons.

"The enemy has extremely strong defenses, and is slow in speed and reaction."

"Shooting with extreme accuracy, keeping reaction distance."

Hill's voice traveled through the communication channel. He once again demonstrated his strengths and summarized the characteristics of the new Necrons.

The shooting of these metal skeletons is extremely accurate, even more accurate than that of the Astartes. Their thinking core and shooting reaction are faster than those of the Space Marines who rely on nerve reflexes to fight back.

But the Space Marines soon found a way to deal with it, which was to predict the shooting angles of the Necromancers in advance.

The dynamic vision of the Astartes is enough to see the movement trajectory of the weapons in the hands of the Undead in the fierce battle, and then complete the evasive action in a time difference shorter than the blink of an eye.

Chapter 115: Encounter at Farrowsley

In just a few seconds, the Space Marines had completed the first round of engagement with the Necrons.

And more important information was also probed out during the fight.

The living metal bodies of these Necron warriors are extremely strong and can withstand repeated attacks from heavy bombs with only minor damage and deformation.

Their Gauss weapons are enough to kill a Space Marine outright if they hit the target.

This information was obtained at the cost of his life by an Ultramarines who came under concentrated fire from Necron warriors because he got too close.

The Black Stone Barrier he relied on was disintegrated by the Gaussian decomposition ray, and the Extreme Marines hiding in the rear had to use their power armor to withstand the enemy's firepower.

However, the Star-type power armor still demonstrated its value. When it was targeted by the Undead's Gauss rays, the built-in energy shield of the power armor blocked the damage from the first few rays.

It was not until the subsequent Gauss rays came that the energy shield was overloaded, and then the Extreme Marines, who were only relying on the adamantium armor on their power armor, were decomposed and stripped off by the Gauss rays along with their armor.

The refined gold disintegrated like sand, and the black shells, muscles and bones of the fighting brothers it protected were peeled off layer by layer. Superman's transformed organs were completely shattered before they could function.

The Extreme Warrior didn't even let out a scream before his body was blown away by the wind.

A loyal warrior of the Emperor died, but the other Astartes showed no emotion at all. They remembered the consequences of being hit and dodged the enemy's attacks more carefully.

After witnessing the power of the Necron Warriors, Hill and others frantically searched for countermeasures in their brains. Every characteristic of these damn metal skeletons was collected, and then their weaknesses were looked for.

Their weaknesses:

"They don't have much intelligence or autonomy, which is their weakness!"

Hill roared.

The Necron Warriors simply fired wave after wave at the Space Marines with high-precision Gauss firepower, but they did not take the opportunity to attack and then occupy advantageous terrain to divide the enemy.

They just kept silent, fired, and rigidly followed the orders from their superiors.

Nikonna disappeared into the darkness. With absolute precision and stealth, he bypassed the Necrons' defenses and quietly appeared behind the Necrons.

He observed the Necron warriors at a very close distance. Their bodies, made of living metal, were strong and had smooth lines, but upon closer inspection, he could find tiny pits and traces of corrosion.

The joints showed signs of aging, with some unknown oil seeping out of them. When they moved forward, one could see that their steps were not steady, and they even stumbled a little due to the uneven terrain.

Nikonna has already gained a lot of valuable information from his observations.

If these metal skulls were just weapons, they wouldn't be perfect.

But if they are a member of the so-called Necrons, then they can only be described as pitiful.

Although they are extremely powerful and can kill everyone on the battlefield, they still cannot conceal their nature as the walking dead.

He emerged from the shadows and threw several powerful melta bombs into the Necron army.

Based on his experience in dealing with armored vehicles, melta bombs are more suitable for fighting these metal guys.

The Necromancers paid no attention to the dangerous bombs that were undergoing thermonuclear reactions. In their mind processors, there was only one command: Kill the invaders.

Seeing this scene, Nikonna even felt that the intelligent robots under the mechanical priests were smarter than them.

At least the intelligent robot equipped with a low-level processor knew to dodge when it saw a hot melt bomb going out of control.

The highly compressed fusion fuel in the melta bomb released all its energy in the explosion. The surging heat and high temperature instantly evaporated the moisture in the air, and the roaring explosion exploded around the Necron warriors.

The killing range of the melta bomb is not large, but all objects within the range will be subjected to the baptism of ultra-high temperature and high energy.

Even the living metal of the Undead would be melted by the hot melt bomb. The metal skeletons of the Undead warriors within the killing range were instantly melted by the terrifying high temperature.

Nikonna could see that the stubborn chunks of living metal were trying to heal themselves, but under the continued damage from the melta bombs, they eventually turned into a pool of silver-gray molten iron.

The molten iron and molten black stone mixed together, releasing an extremely unpleasant stench and smoke.

Faintly, Nikonna's Lyman ears picked up an electronic scream of a peculiar tone.

The teeth-shaking screams seemed like some kind of crude imitation, as if these living metal undead still had extremely weak survival instincts and self-awareness in their bodies.

A Necron warrior whose lower body was blown off by the melt fell on the black stone ground. The Gauss weapon in its hand was damaged, but it still used its metal palm to scratch the ground and crawled towards the enemy desperately.

The Space Marines could not tell whether they were stubbornly following orders to kill the enemy, or whether they were trying to stay away from the melta bombs that could kill them, supported by the little remaining desire to survive.

Probably a bit of both, but Nikonna didn't give it much of a chance as his power sword came down and severed the head of the prone Necron.

The feeling of these beheaded metal skeletons is completely different from that of flesh and blood life. There is no dripping blood and spinal cord, nor are there cut and torn muscle fibers and white trachea.

Nikonna even felt that if he put the head back on, the undead would be able to heal the wound and rush towards them again with the Gauss separator gun.

"Pathetic guy."

This group of suddenly appearing Necron warriors did not cause much trouble to the fully armed Space Marines. This team was equipped with the latest Sta-type power armor produced in the Macragge galaxy, and their weapons were of the best quality.

Especially since this team is led by veterans like Nikona Sharokin and Aineed Hill who fought in the battlefields of Isstvan and Kos.

There are fifteen Necrons in this team, and they all look the same in appearance, like some crudely made assembly line products.

Except for a few Necron Warriors killed by melta bombs, the remaining Necron Warriors fell under the explosive shells and plasma of the Ultramarines.

In order to more thoroughly kill these enemies who could heal themselves with living metal, the Ultramarines also used power swords and chainswords to cut them into smaller pieces.

The Warsmith did not perform very well in the sudden encounter. He only fired a few explosive shells and the Extreme Marines ended the battle.

Luo Xi understood this stubborn old guy. On the one hand, his body functions had weakened after being damaged by the entropy weapon, and on the other hand, he was stubborn and unwilling to use the new power armor.

"Bring that head here, the one that's still intact." Luo Xi pointed to the body of a Necron warrior in the corner.

Dantioch didn't say a word. He picked up the undead head and threw it directly to Roxi.

Luo Xi cursed inwardly the petty old man. This head was not light in weight. The density of living metal was extremely high, otherwise it could not be used as a war vehicle.

His hand stroked the undead's round skull, and the touch told him that there were actually many extremely fine signs of corrosion on it. The holes did not seem to be damage caused by war, but rather like aging caused by not being properly maintained for too long.

The green light in the undead's deep eye sockets had disappeared, and its particularly narrow chin and jawbone were very different from those of humans.

He tried to imagine in his mind what it would look like if these undead grew flesh. It would probably be a very obvious horse face.

"The data has been collected. Let's retreat first, taking the bodies of these undeads with us and see if we can find some useful information."

Chapter 116: The Past of the Dead

Riding on the sickle vehicle that had previously transported the STC template, Luo Xi and his team quickly evacuated the primary location Alpha.

The entire Faros Mountains are no longer safe. Although the reason is unknown, Roxi believes that this is related to their scans of the Faros facilities.

Those Necrons are merely asleep, they are not dead.

In front of Luo Xi was the somewhat eerie metal skull of the undead, while the more complete ones were stored in the storage box of the sickle vehicle.

He linked some data cables improvised by the nanobots into the Necron's skull, although Roshi had no idea of ​​the Necron's alien biology, if they even had one.

But at least one thing is certain, even these seemingly crudely made Necron warriors have their own data processing cores.

As long as its thinking core is not completely destroyed, he will have a chance to read some useful information from it.

Even if it was the technology of the Necrons, he would have to touch it to know how big the gap was between the two.

The thinking core of the Necron Warrior was connected to the processor of the Scythe vehicle, while the intelligent brain crossed the distance and remotely analyzed and deciphered the firewall in the Necron Warrior's mind.

"Yes, they are now pure metal life forms, without a single bit of flesh and blood on their bodies."

It was not difficult to crack the Necron Warriors. Roxi realized that it was not because the technological level of these metal skeletons was low.

It's simply because they don't spend much time and energy on these lowest-level Necron warriors.

The information in this metal skull is pitifully small. There are only a few bits of fragmented data that can be called memory fragments, buried in extremely deep garbage information.
