Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 37 Behemoth, Part 5
We have to admit one thing, that is, air conditioning is the greatest gift and miracle bestowed by the Emperor on mankind.

As Taylor felt the cool air from the new temperature-controlled system inside Ferenstein, he realized that this vehicle, packed with 12 people, was not hell but heaven.

Taylor was lying in the Emperor's Gift at this moment, watching the vehicle slowly leave the shield. Of course, many insects immediately rushed over to enjoy their flesh and blood, but the movable flamethrowers on the armored vehicle instantly turned them into ashes.

Even the Behemoth Swarm is a carbon-based creature. Under the solid chitin skeleton is a mass of flesh and blood connected to the limbs. As long as the blood is burned dry and the thing is boiled, even the most powerful monster will die.

Some lucky ones would crash into the fast-moving Franstein, making a "bang" sound, and then disappear into a ball.

At the same time, two heavy-duty manta rays nearby are also responsible for the escort mission.

According to what Taylor knew, the Titanium had spent a lot of money today to send the information out. Three or four combat suits cleared the way for them in the sky, and those bugs were basically unable to get close to the crew.

If there is no large-scale swarm of insects, today's work will be just a matter of taking it easy. Taylor is ready to return to the embrace of the Empire and enjoy a delicious dinner and bed.

But accidents happen, and Taylor's luck seemed to have run out again. In a flash of light, a huge amount of plasma slid down from the sky in a parabola and hit next to Ferenstein.

A flying combat suit was hit accurately and fell to the ground, becoming part of the sunken ground.

Such plasma comes from a large biological mortar, which the Empire calls plasma worms, and is a typical biological weapon.

And now, dense plasma is falling like raindrops, forcing the combat suit back into the manta ray.

However, the plasma soon hit a Manta, and in the violent explosion, they lost one-third of their troops in an instant.

It seems that the swarm does not want the biomass to leave its cans, so Taylor has to think of a new way to stay alive.

Now the augury device cannot be used, so the enemy's position cannot be determined, and the communicator is also not working. The only landmark is the winding road here. It is very likely to get lost if you leave here.

But the dense plasma volley came again, and those blue and white flashing balls of light slowly fell like an amazing nightmare, which made Taylor terrified.

Taylor had to order. "We're off the road! What could be worse?"

As Ms. Katie stepped on the accelerator in a desperate manner, the car body instantly drifted to one side. Taylor felt his body center of gravity shift slightly, and then he saw several knife bugs approaching.

Those damn little things hadn't given up yet, so Taylor raised his weapon, climbed out of the car, and accurately hit the enemy while shaking.

His plasma gun pierced through the Empire's enemies, and the bugs lay on the ground listlessly, obviously pierced through their vital parts.

Taylor breathed a sigh of relief, but found that he could no longer find the Manta ray that had been following him.

Well, now they have lost the remaining two combat suits. If Taylor and his team could fight the enemy before, now they can probably only sit and wait for death.

Without heavy firepower and those flying and escaping mechas, Taylor couldn't imagine how he could complete this mission.

The island looks small from the sky, but its area is actually the size of a small country.

But in reality it was just a big mass of rocks and sand, and the damned repetitive terrain made Taylor lose track of his direction.

And what we think of, like determining our position by the stars, is of no use to an alien world.

In other words, they were lost.

Taylor sighed and asked, "How much fuel, water, and food do we have left?"

Katie replied. "We've got about 300 kilometers of fuel left."

"Turning off the air conditioning can make it go 20 kilometers more!"

Taylor replied. "That would just make us die faster. Water is precious, so how much water do we have?"

The Lightling girl replied, "About 120 liters."

Taylor thought about it. That was probably the minimum intake for a busload of people for about three days. Saving money could probably last a week, even without hot water and coffee, it was enough to drive him crazy.

At least they still had Frenstein, and relying on the vehicle to move forward saved a lot of energy, but only until it broke down due to fuel problems.

Frankly, they were screwed, lost in a strange world with no radio, no landmarks, no auspex, and his damn dataslate was completely empty.

He could only mutter to himself. "Think about it, we didn't encounter any bugs, damn bugs, right?"

As he spoke, he picked up the telescope and looked around through the observation hole, fearing that he would encounter his enemy.

Taylor looked for a long time but didn't find anything unusual. He even thought that he might be a little too neurotic. He should think of a way to survive during this period, and it would be best if he could send the information to the imperial army.

The vehicles are moving forward aimlessly, who knows what they will encounter next?
As he thought this, the car suddenly began to sprint downwards at a rapid speed, and Taylor cursed. "What's going on?!"

Katie replied in surprise. "Boss, there's something wrong with the view of the sand sea! There's a big slope here, but we can't see it clearly. It's all fine yellow sand!"

Taylor quickly realized that this was a bad thing. The car rushed downward at a very fast speed, as crazy as surfing in a sea of sand.

The sand dune has a very steep slope and is obviously not formed naturally. It seems that something used it as a cover!
Now, huge amounts of dust were kicked up by the tracks, and amidst the restless engine sounds and the endless roar of brake pads, Frenstein went down at an indescribable speed.

Tyler realizes this and they're screwed.

I never thought that after a lifetime of wisdom and bravery, I would die from a car race.

But Emperor bless you, the vehicles are actually charging down a high slope. As long as they don't encounter any obstacles or hit anything, they are actually safe.

Given the vastness of the endless sea of sand, the probability of hitting something is actually less than one in ten thousand.

But as the speed increased, Taylor saw something in the distance, pitch black.

Only when he saw the giant cannon worms with chitinous shells did he realize what he had encountered.

This is the Zerg artillery camp! His car almost lost control and crashed into it!
That damn sand dune is a shelter for the bugs!

He shouted. "My dear Kitty! Turn the corner!"

Katie replied. "I can't help it, Boss!" She was sweating with anxiety, the thin T-shirt sticking to her skin, and the air conditioner was pumping out cold air at the coldest frequency.

Taylor closed his eyes and prayed for the Emperor's blessing, but the plasma cannon worms that were about 6 meters tall and had heavy muzzles on their bodies did not actually see them.

Franstein just happened to pass by them and bumped into a giant insect about four or five meters high. After a crackling sound, the standing giant insect holding a blade was chased to pieces.

At the same time, a huge chitinous head appeared on the front horn of Franstan. Because Franstan was in the air to a certain extent, the horn cut off the entire head, leaving the monster's compound eyes staring straight ahead with its eyes wide open.

This was a high-level Zerg Stormtrooper, and his death led to another thing, that is, the Zerg swarm that had been suppressing the Tau suffered a head-on defeat.

The shutdown of a large number of plasma bugs and the sudden interruption of the swarm node links allowed the Titanium leaders to instantly discover an opportunity.

Hundreds of battle suits and Tau heavy vehicles attacked simultaneously.

The Imperial Guard, on the other hand, saw the Tau's reckless advance and began to move forward as well, and this all happened in a matter of minutes.

Taylor, who had just stopped Ferenstein, was still trying to pull the skull out of the ram when he saw the counterattack of the Earthshaker and the Tau missiles.

It looked like the sun had set, and the immense heat and the scorched insects gave off an inexplicable burnt aroma.

Taylor said in astonishment. "It's like we did something incredible?"
