Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 509 06.0508: "The Battle of the Kitchen Team (Happy New Year! Please give me a monthly pass~)"

Below the captain's hall, a Kroot path-finding team wandered around and lost their way inside the Epic.

By some strange coincidence, they came to the main storage area of ​​the Epic.

After a dizzying series of turns, they now found themselves in front of the Epic's automated kitchen.

Without being discovered by these ugly monsters, a girl rushed into the kitchen cautiously, holding a thick account book, and bent over.

In a panic, the white stockings covering her entire long legs were accidentally torn by the kitchen utensils, revealing the delicate and smooth skin underneath.

But the girl didn't care about that.

"Dad! It's the aliens. They're coming!"

Yin Shuyao, who was wearing the uniform of an Imperial Navy civilian, crouched down and came to the side of the man in a leather cooking apron, suppressing her panic and whispered.

She had just been counting the Epic's logistical supplies in order to formulate the next ration plan and estimate the duration of the voyage.

Just as she was concentrating on her work, a group of ugly-looking Kroot people, who looked very much like the mutated fishmen in the legend of Lower Nest, broke into the cabin next to hers.

This frightened her.

She had only a slender ceremonial sword and a laser pistol that symbolized her status as a naval civilian officer and was never actually used in actual combat.

Although Horatio had personally taught her a few sword techniques, and she had fired a few rounds at targets herself, she had never seriously considered using these things in actual combat.

After the other party failed to notice her and walked past the hiding place, she took a shortcut and rushed to the kitchen.

At this time, there was only the chief chef and a few strong accountants in the kitchen.

The man had already learned about the alien invasion and took out a shotgun from the spare gun rack.

The accountants had no fixed weapons, they could only use whatever they had - from shotguns to laser carbines, and even meat cleavers became safety secondary weapons.

"Chef, what should we do?" asked the accountants.

The man looked serious, but not hurried.

The reason why these accountants obeyed his orders so well was because they all knew that this man was once a non-commissioned officer in the Imperial Guard and had rich combat experience.

To him, these aliens were not unfamiliar - almost every officer and soldier of the Cathay Triumphal Army had fought against the Kroot, because they were too close to the Tau front line, and the Kroot were one of the most common mercenaries in the Tau Empire.

"You two, go over there, you three, go to the back, I'll take care of this."

The man quickly assessed the current situation and assigned combat positions to everyone in a concise and direct manner.

"what about me?"

"..." The man looked at his daughter's face and thought for a while.

"Go there." The man pointed to the corner of the rice cooker.

After the arrangements were made, the man already had a battle plan in his mind.

After all, he was once a member of the Imperial Guard's 'Zhendan Triumphal Army'.

As a member of a force composed of soldiers who have received higher education, the man is naturally not a rough guy whose brains are all muscles.

Chemistry, huh, it's just a basic subject he didn't learn in college.

The man looked at the transparent disinfection room before entering the kitchen. His sturdy arms turned the valve to increase the concentration of hypochlorous acid in the disinfectant to a level that was harmful to biological hazards.
-
Before entering the kitchen, the Kroot Pathfinder Team smelled the tempting aroma of meat.

It was the Grox grilled ribs sprinkled with spices and covered with sauce.

Their fearsome animal eyes keenly captured the scene before them: the ribs were bubbling and sizzling on the induction grill, glistening with oil, and the rich juices dripping down the ribs.

Sizzle! The moment the fat falls to the bottom, a pleasant sizzling sound is made, and the tempting fragrance of the thick gravy overflows instantly.

Although the Kroot prefer to eat raw meat, this high-quality fresh meat sprinkled with seasonings can still whet their taste buds - they haven't eaten for a while, and no matter what, high-quality protein and fat are what they need to consume.

Under the temptation of primitive desire, the Crete Pathfinding Team lowered their guard and walked into the kitchen's disinfection room.

Yin Shuyao, hiding behind the rice cooker, bit her lower lip, slowly drew out the rapier from the scabbard, and took out the laser pistol from the holster.

laugh!
The moment the Kroot aliens stepped in, high-pressure hypochlorous acid sprayed all over them and into their ears, noses, mouths and eyes.

"Gah! Ah!" The high concentration of oxidizing substances that are harmful to the body destroyed the bacterial protective layer of their bodies and killed the bacteria needed to maintain their shape. They screamed, and their bodies were instantly surrounded by stinging pain, and their big eyeballs began to dissolve.

"Now!" The man, who had already put on the sterilized protective suit, stood up from behind the oven and rushed towards the Kroot people.

Yin Shuyao stretched out a laser pistol from behind the corner and pointed it at one of the aliens.

As a Zhongchao person, she also helped the citizen army and learned some gun skills before.

However, after being admitted to Gothic University and spending a long time in the relatively stable security environment of the surface nest, she became a little unfamiliar with these firearms.

However, after being admitted to the Epic as a civilian officer, Horatio's ship rules and regulations and his own guidance helped her pick up this skill again. [This is a typical small laser pistol, small in size and not heavy, very suitable for ladies. First, open the safety here, hold the gun with your hand straight, and keep the three points in a straight line.]
Yin Shuyao recalled the instructions and followed them step by step quite skillfully.

[When you are ready, pull the trigger.]
Her slender fingers pulled the trigger.

Jiong!
A red light flashed, and then puff!

An ugly head was instantly blown up by a high-power laser, and orange-yellow juice splashed on the transparent glass of the disinfection room and was quickly evaporated.

The man picked up a shotgun and fired a shot inside.

The oversized shotgun shells rained down like rain, directly smashing the two Kroots standing in the front; their companions were not spared either, and stray bullets flew and hit the bodies of the Kroots next to them.

They screamed strangely when they were hit by the steel balls, and the unpleasant screams spread throughout the kitchen.

At this point, the disinfection room had completed the disinfection according to the preset procedure and started automatic vacuuming to remove the residual disinfectant vapor. The concentration inside quickly dropped to a level that was harmless to humans.

But the damage done to the Kroot was irreversible.

Their eyes were damaged by the hypochlorous acid disinfectant spray and were sunken with pus, which turned into a sticky liquid and began to flow down.

Seizing the opportunity, the man swung the sharp meat-cleaving knife he had just sharpened. With a flash of cold light, the head of a "water ghost" fell to the ground in an instant.

Then he raised his elbow and rammed the other one, forcing the Kroot against the clear glass, and stabbed the Kroot's collarbone with his thick arm holding the meat cleaver at a swift speed.

He stabbed several times in a row, and orange liquid blood kept gushing out of the deep and long knife wound.

"Dad, be careful!"

Behind the man, a Kroot was screaming madly, with all his fins spread out. The dark blue spikes looked hideous and would obviously hurt him soon.

Yin Shuyao held the rapier in both hands and stabbed the sword accurately into the neck of the Kroot man.

The Kroot who was killed by the sword in the throat died instantly and lost the ability to support his "fangs and claws".

The man pulled the cleaver from the slain Kroot and hacked at another.

Other accountants and soldiers also rushed in and killed all the Kroot inside.

"We won!" an accountant said excitedly as he looked in disbelief at the Kroot people lying on the ground in the disinfection room.

"The captain said that a head is worth ten thousand dollars! Can we exchange it for money too?" Another accountant shouted excitedly while grabbing the Kroot's head.

Bright!

The accountant grabbed his head with astonishment in his eyes. He looked down at his chest and saw a big hole in it caused by the pulsed ion beam.

With a plop, he fell among the corpses of the Kroots.

The man looked at the other group of Kroot that appeared before him.

[Oh no, it was the second team that was attracted by the smell of steak.]
The Kroot aimed at the people in the disinfection room, his finger already on the trigger.

"Girl, run!" The man stood in front of his daughter, using his body as a shield, trying to get her to leave the disinfection room first.

"dad!"

boom! boom! boom!
Just as the tragic sacrifice was about to happen, a deadly storm composed of dense ion beams and lasers came first, tearing the Kroot people not far away into pieces.

"Cease fire!" Valina raised her hand.

Horatio calmly stepped over the corpse and looked at the distraught accountants in the disinfection room.

"Captain...Captain?!" They were very surprised.

"Captain, you're back?" the chef saluted respectfully.

Yin Shuyao looked at Horatio fearfully. He nodded and gestured to her to relax:
"Don't be afraid, we're safe now. The rest of the Kroot pathfinders around here have been eliminated. Their remnants are trying to reach the bridge, but from here in the kitchen, we can take a shortcut and block them before they reach the elevator."

"Captain, please let us join the battle." The man picked up the shotgun and reloaded it.

"Those who are willing to fight, follow me!" Horatio nodded in agreement and said to the others in front of him.

"I'll go with you, Captain." Yin Shuyao, wearing white silk leather shoes, took the lead in crossing the disinfection room and said to Horatio.

Seeing the woman like this, the other accountants looked at each other and responded one after another.

"My accountant is braver than I thought." He took the navy coat from his shoulders and covered the young accountant with it, hiding the plump white flesh exposed in the torn white stockings.

"It's my honor to serve and fight for you!" the girl stammered.

"Now follow me closely. When the fight starts, find cover behind the shield guard, and leave the rest to me." He patted her shoulder reassuringly.

"Yes! Captain."
