Chapter 171 Storm Loyalist Soldiers
A fly emerged from the thick fog and landed on Kayans's leather jacket.
Russell turned his head and saw this huge, fat fly.
"Don't move, a fly has landed on your shoulder!" he reminded Kayans.
Kayan stood there quietly and asked: Is it big?
"Yes!"
"Kill it!"
Russell slowly pulled out the Blood Drinker and gently waved it at the fly. The giant fly was sliced in two, and its corpse fell to the ground.
Countless maggots crawled out of the fly's body.
“Disgusting!” Kayans frowned.
A stench wafted from afar, and Russell nearly vomited when he smelled it.
The thick green fog suddenly stirred, and a figure slowly walked towards them.
He walked with a stagger, behaved strangely, muttered bizarrely to himself from time to time, wore an eerie smile, and dragged a laser gun in his hand.
"Who is it? Stop! If you don't stop, I'm going to open fire!" Kayans roared.
But the person seemed not to hear Cayans's words and continued walking forward.
As the strange man drew closer, Russell finally got a clear look at what he looked like.
This was a highly decomposed human, with eyeballs hanging out, maggots wriggling all over his skin, several fatal wounds on his tactical armor, and intestines protruding from his abdomen.
"Fire!" Russell roared, raising the Fire Qilin and shooting it at the man.
The bullet of Loyalty pierced the monster's stomach, and green, dirty blood flowed from the wound.
However, this person no longer seemed to be afraid of pain; instead, he was chuckling strangely.
"Shoot him in the head!" Kayans warned.
Russell once again raised the Fire Kirin and fired a shot at the man's head. The laser pierced through his skull, and the strange man finally fell.
System prompt:
The host shot and killed a Nurgle cultist, gaining a Resilient Shard.
"Resilient Shards can be combined to create Resilient Badges!"
This small reward was nothing to be happy about for Russell. In the last battle against the Tyranids, he obtained more than 4000 carapace fragments, which he used to synthesize more than 400 carapaces.
With these armor plates, Russell's defenses are now greatly enhanced. He is now like someone wearing a thick layer of steel armor, and an ordinary person with a regular machete cannot hurt him.
This time, he also gained the power of resilience. Russell was unaware that Nurgle's resilience and the increased defense from his carapace were completely different things. Nurgle's resilience was multi-layered, encompassing not only physical but also mental and psychological aspects, and most importantly, psionic resistance, etc. It can be said that this was an extremely precious attribute enhancement.
Slowly, more and more people, like walking corpses, surged in. They continued walking slowly, laughing strangely.
"Fire! Shoot them in the head!" Kayans roared.
The Astronauts in the trenches opened fire, and countless laser bullets pierced the enemy's heads.
One by one, the plague-stricken corpses fell to the ground.
A swarm of flies rushed up, hovering and buzzing around the trenches, making strange noises and constantly obscuring the vision of the Astral Army, preventing their laser guns from hitting the enemy's heads. Only by missing the head could they kill these plague-ridden corpses.
"Don't let them up!" Russell shouted as he fired indiscriminately.
A plague-ridden corpse walked to the front of the trench. Countless laser bullets pierced his body, but he did not fall. Instead, he continued forward and lunged at an Astronaut.
"Watch out!" Russell brandished the Blood Drinker and beheaded the plague corpse.
Although these plague-infested corpses are slow-moving, they are surprisingly strong. If you are knocked down or hit by them, the consequences are unimaginable.
As time went on, more and more plague-infested corpses poured into the trenches, raising their makeshift weapons to hack at the Star Guardians.
Three plague-infested corpses slowly approached Russell, grinning eerily as they raised their entrenching tools, preparing to get close and attack him.
"Die!" Russell raised the Fire Kirin and furiously struck the heads of the three plague corpses.
Three plague-stricken corpses fell to the ground, shot.
However, the situation in the trenches was far from optimistic at this time, with chaos all around.
Fear is gripping the Star Guardians.
A loud "boom" suddenly came from the thick fog. A huge green shell shot into the sky and then crashed heavily into the trench.
With a loud "boom," the green shell exploded, sending up thick green flames and smoke.
The explosion was so powerful that it not only blasted all the surrounding Astragalus soldiers into the air, but also generated a huge gust of wind that knocked the Astragalus soldiers in the midst of the battle to the ground.
Soon, the entire defensive line was exploding, and the thick green fog above the trenches grew stronger and stronger. Not to mention others, Russell's vision was only able to see clearly within five meters in front of him at this time.
“Russell, where are you?” Kayans shouted from within the green mist.
“I’m here!” Russell replied.
"We need to retreat, the defensive line can't be held!" Kayans said anxiously.
“Why don’t you ask Commander Borg what he said?” Russell reminded Kayans.
“Commander, they’ve already ordered us to retreat!” Kayans said, brandishing his chainsaw sword.
"In that case, don't hesitate and give the order!"
"Retreat!" Kayans roared, and then began to slowly retreat.
The surviving Astronauts began to retreat.
Fortunately, the plague undead move very slowly, and any Star Guardian who can disengage from combat can quickly distance themselves from these terrifying plague undead.
The green cannons continued to bombard the ground, and countless shells exploded violently, kicking up patches of dirt.
A massive number of plague-infested corpses quickly took over the entire battlefield.
Illumination projectiles appeared in the air and then exploded, instantly illuminating the battlefield.
Immediately afterwards, countless shells came flying in, hitting the horde of plague-infested corpses with pinpoint accuracy.
An explosion rang out, and flames engulfed the plague-stricken corpses.
The Astronautical Army's bombardment was noticeably more intense, but the enemy's artillery was more powerful.
The shelling continued for an hour before gradually ceasing.
"Attack!" Kayans roared and charged forward.
Russell also received orders to attack.
The Astral Army launched a full-scale counterattack.
Laser bullets pierced through the thick fog, felling one plague corpse after another.
Russell charged forward the fastest, his left hand unleashing a furious barrage of fire from the Fire Kirin, while his right hand relentlessly slashed at any enemy who dared to approach.
Just as Russell was getting into the killing spree, a figure overtook him.
This person was clad in finely crafted gray and red armor, wielding a "Hellfire Gun," and his power backpack continuously spewed out eerie blue flames. Each shot blasted a plague-infested corpse into pieces.
