Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 11 Like a Mosquito
……

After four Terran days, the day and night research and manufacture finally came to fruition.

When the soldiers moved their heavy weapons to various places in the fortress, Qin Mo ordered Gray and the five of them to put on power armor, and immediately went to the position due east with him to check the situation.

"Wait a minute, don't these power armors need to be tested?"

"No testing required."

Qin Mo walked in the front of the team of six, advancing through the winding and twisting passages in the fortress.

Klein followed Qin Mo anxiously, followed by the elite soldiers he had just selected.

"I don't think we should be in such a hurry, at least we should test whether there is a problem with the power armor first."

"Use battle to test."

"Okay, okay, test it with battle."

Seeing Qin Mo's self-confidence and stubbornness, Klein had no choice but to compromise and not mention the power armor test for the time being.

But there is one more important thing.

"Grey and the others are just ordinary soldiers. The 44th Regiment has never been a logistics supply regiment and hasn't participated in many battles. Are you sure you want to take them only?" Klein said as he glanced at Gray, then looked at the soldiers behind him, signaling them to go ahead.

Qin Mo understood Klein's thoughts, but he would not bring the elite soldiers of the 47th Regiment, so he resolutely rejected it: "Grey and the others may not be the strongest soldiers, but they must be the most determined. Moreover, they have fought side by side with me, and they are more familiar with my fighting style."

"Alright then." Klein felt that this reason was convincing, so he could only compromise again, and stopped in his tracks to watch Qin Mo and the others leave.

Until Qin Mo opened a door on the wall at the end of the passage, and was about to go out, Klein suddenly shouted: "Don't confront the rebels head-on, we have few people after all!"

Qin Mo walked out of the fort without saying a word, and the door he opened on the wall was closed immediately.

But just as Klein sighed helplessly and turned around, another door opened on the wall.

Qin Mo returned to the inside of the fortress and reminded Klein, "I have a psychic suppressor in my room, which is a boxy metal box. If you are attacked and find psykers, don't forget to activate the psychic suppressor. But that thing needs to be recharged, and it can only take effect for two days at a time."

"I can't forget it." Klein looked back at Qin Mo, "I formed a team of five to be responsible for guarding and using the suppressor."

"Then I can rest assured." Qin Mo turned and left.

The door on the wall was closed again, and the wall returned to its tight fit.

……

The power armor can maintain a short-term flight, and it only takes two hours to cross a distance of [-] kilometers. The energy is exhausted on the way to recharge the battery once.

Since he was not sure whether the position due east still existed, Qin Mo ordered to advance on foot when he was within two kilometers, and released the drone to scout the situation on the position.

"Does the position still exist?" Qin Mo glanced at the drone flying high in the sky, then turned to look at Gray who released it.

Gray didn't respond immediately, he stared at the empty front with his neck straightened, looking a little silly.

Gray is checking the HUD screen integrated on the visor, his eyes are fixed on the lower right corner, where the screen from the perspective of the drone is projected.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and no one could be seen at all.

"Life scanning." Qin Mo reminded Gray, "This is a unique function of reconnaissance drones."

Gray said immediately, "Life Scan."

After starting the life scanning function, the UAV will directly mark the detected life on the HUD with green punctuation, and display the data in the lower left corner at the same time.

Humans: 5723 people.

Variations: 9938 people.

Analysis: Based on the current rate of reduction of pure humans in the scanning area, it is estimated that the defenders here will be killed in one hour and 21 minutes. (for reference only)
"The position hasn't been breached yet, but it's coming soon." Gray raised his hand and swiped in the air a few times, then asked in confusion, "I remember you said that the Power Armor system has the ability to share information, how does it work?"

"Stretch out your hand, as if the HUD screen is in front of you, click on the combat mode in the lower left corner, and information sharing will be forcibly enabled." Qin Mo taught helplessly.

He originally thought very well, integrating an electronic system into the power armor, which can analyze the battle situation, monitor the status of the power armor, and share information.

As a result, this thing is really a bit esoteric for ordinary big soldiers, and since changing the action mode and combat mode of the power armor is a matter that needs to be carefully considered, it cannot be replaced by voice commands, which is very cumbersome in the eyes of Gray and the others.

"It's done." After Gray awkwardly clicked on the combat mode, all the information he saw was shared with other power armors, and other people wearing power armors also saw the results of the life scan.

Everyone can clearly see where the friendly forces are and where all the rebels are on the ground.

……

The difference in numbers between the two sides on the battlefield was not very large, but the rebels still had an overwhelming advantage over the planetary defense forces.

This is thanks to the aberrations on the rebel side.

Mutants are very strong individuals among gene stealers. They use industrial equipment to fight, and use powerful force to make up for their major intellectual defects.

When the aberrants attacked, the position was filled with smoke by the rebels, and the planetary defense forces were forced into hand-to-hand combat.

Until the six-man group from the 44th Regiment appeared.

Before the power armor hit the ground, the strong momentum from the jet pack had blown away the smoke on the ground.

The two sides in the melee looked at the six unknown people in the center of the battlefield in astonishment. When they saw the double-headed eagle on the scepter, the rebels realized that they were definitely not their own.

The rebels did not launch an attack hastily, but vigilantly looked at the six people in power armor, and the position that was originally full of shouts and killings had already quieted down.

"Death..." One of the largest mutants held the head that was pulled from someone's body in its hand, and looked at Qin Mo fiercely.

Qin Mo turned his head to look at Gray, who nodded in understanding.

"For the emperor." Gray rushed out from Qin Mo's side first, and went straight to the deformed body directly in front of him.

The thick power armor jetpack automatically adjusts the angle of the nozzle when running to provide thrust for the power armor. Although the power armor is heavy, the speed is not slow.

"Ah!" The aberrant threw away the head in his hand, and raised the sledgehammer to hedge against Gray.

The two tall and strong individuals all rushed towards each other, and in the heads of the bystanders, they had already imagined what might happen next.

Either the metal and machinery are superior, and the deformed body is knocked into the air.

Either the body that has evolved towards strength is superior, smashing the power armor and the people inside to pieces.

Even at this moment, Qin Mo himself thought so.

Until Gray rushed to a position five steps away from the distortion body, he suddenly turned on the gravity shield.

While the stones and fragments around his body were instantly flattened, the unidentified aberration had already jumped with a sledgehammer and fell towards Gray.

slap-

The deformed body that jumped into the range of the gravity shield was slapped to death by an invisible force, leaving a pool of smoothed "slime" on the ground, like a mosquito slapped to death by a slap.

Gray's forward speed quickly increased to the limit after a brief slowdown, and the nozzle of the jet pack spit out flames backwards, pushing the entire power armor to run at high speed.
