Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 561 06.0560: ‘Dead by Daylight’

Ah! After a long whistle, the chief boatswain picked up the sound array and said: “Everyone, pay attention, the captain is speaking!”

“Dear crew members on the Epic, I am the captain. In the past few months, each of us has firmly adhered to our duties in the turbulence in the warp. The great Lord of Humanity, the God-Emperor on the Golden Throne can see our efforts.

The navigator family reported that they have seen the light of the Star Torch and are trying to lead the Epic to the exit of the turbulence with all their strength. This kind of depression will soon pass, and the warm light of the star will shine on us again!”

“Yeah! Finally! Finally going out!”

“The captain is wise and brave! I knew he was the one promised by the God-Emperor!”

This news may be the most exciting good news in the ship in recent months. The crew members raised their arms and shouted, unable to hide their excitement.

"But please pay attention!" The captain's voice suddenly changed, and he said: "It is the most basic responsibility of each of us to firmly believe in the Emperor of God. Participate in the sermons regularly every day. Please report to the officers and military supervisors at any time anyone who does not participate in public sermons, as well as anyone who has improper and rebellious thoughts.

We will strictly protect the identity information of every person who reports, and will give him sufficient material rewards.

The rewards will be issued by the officers of the department to which they belong. They will be rationed according to the first-class sailors for three consecutive days, with an extra pint of Grog wine, one day off, and a bonus of 50,000 Gothic coins.

It is our duty as the eyes of the Emperor of God and the duty of supervising everyone as His Holy Navy!

Any indulgence is not allowed. If a mutiny occurs due to failure to report in time, the crew members will be held responsible together...!"

The skinny monkey was stunned after listening to the two pieces of news.

"I am the one who saved the Epic... not you..." He muttered to himself, and walked towards the cabin with weak legs and feet.

"That guy is so weird." The crew members whispered after watching the skinny guy walk away lightly: "Should we report him to the military supervisor?"

"There must be a problem. Didn't that guy say something strange last time?"

"Let's go." The two sailors did what they said and walked towards the armed sailors under martial law under the sound array.

——

"Captain. I will report to you the accident report of the sixth functional zone of the Geller force field." Father Lati walked towards the command throne with the axe of the machine god.

"Please go, Father, this is the issue I am most concerned about recently. I want to know whether this is an accident, or a human cause, or... is there a problem with your Bayonet-class design?"

"First rule out the last one." Lati shook his head and smiled: "The cause of the explosion is that the front and rear valves were tightened too much, causing the energy storage in the middle section to exceed the pipeline threshold, and finally caused an explosion."

"It was a person who turned the valve."

"Of course, it was a person. I think the crew who has been trained for so long should not be unaware of this taboo."

Horatio sighed, what he was most worried about was The situation still happened. He turned around and called to the military supervisor who took over Farida's position on the bridge: "Military Supervisor Carson, please come over."

"Captain, what can I do for the Navy?"

"Father Lati reported that the accident in the 6th power supply zone of the Geller force field was caused by human factors. Please perform the duties of the military supervisory department, investigate immediately, and control the murderer. I want to see the person alive or the body dead."

"Yes, sir." The majestic military supervisor lowered the brim of his wide-brimmed hat, and the grenade gun was spinning at his fingertips almost when he raised his hand.

In a maintenance equipment cabin on the lower floor.

"You are the savior of the battleship, you need strength..."

"I need strength." The skinny monkey trembled, and his two dry lips kept trembling.

"Serve me wholeheartedly, and I will be your supreme power."

"I will serve sincerely, please grant me supreme power..."

"I will bless you, my warrior... my agent here... destroy the Geller force field... let the power of the true God sweep everything... I will fulfill your wish..."

When the whisper fell, suddenly, the thin sailor found that his body was becoming strong, his skin began to swell, dark purple lines spread all over his body, and finally gathered in his right hand.

"Ah!"

Puff!

After a scream, his right hand turned into a huge and terrifying purple claw, just like a scorpion.

Sharp horns grew from half of his face, and his skin became as tight and durable as gelatin.

The voice became more and more vague and rough.

Two armed sailors who were specially sent to supervise this criminal with a criminal record picked up laser guns and followed the reporting sailor to the maintenance storage compartment.

"I knew it, a dog will never change its nature!" One of the armed sailors cursed fiercely, with a bayonet on the laser gun in his hand. The green light on the bolt indicated that the battery of the laser gun was fully charged and ready to shoot at any time.

"Captain Leidos has ordered that if this person has any bad intentions again, he will be arrested and executed directly! Don't talk nonsense, handcuff him!" Another sailor said while holding the laser gun.

"Please, this way, we see him going inside. Haha, there is a cabin with some storage equipment. There is no other intersection. It's a dead end if you go in. You can just use the bayonet to pull him out."

"After the matter is completed, we will let Captain Leidos give you this reward. Give us half of the wine. It's not too much, right?"

"Not too much! Not too much! Come on, let's go together! Everyone has something to contribute!"

The two sailors picked up the wrench and followed the fully armed sailors wearing solid bulletproof armor forward.

It's like catching a turtle in a jar for four strong men to catch a skinny monkey.

"Huh? Why is it so dark in there?" One of the armed sailors found that the light in the storage room was flickering like a short circuit.

Even if it was completely broken, it was better than it flashing eyes there. At least there was a tactical flashlight on the laser gun.

"Be careful, turn on the flashlight." Another sailor took a gun-holding posture for indoor close-range combat and raised the laser gun in his hand: "What the hell is this idiot doing!"

They walked slowly forward, raised their boots and took a step into the storage cabin surrounded by purple mist.

Click!

After stepping in, the two sailors immediately stood on the left and right in a well-trained manner to keep the gun line alert.

"I didn't see the target."

"The shelves blocked our view. He must be mixed in. Find him out."

"You take a sailor to flank from the right, and I'll take another to flank from the left. Even if this guy is mixed in the shelves, he can't escape."

The four of them took action immediately. In the light and shadow of the flashlight, they carefully flanked from both sides. The light source of the tactical flashlight was the only information they could use to determine the position of friendly forces.

"Not in front... Where did this kid go?"

As the search progressed, no one was seen in the rows of shelves filled with maintenance tools, and the increasingly dense purple fog made everything around become mysterious.

The team on the right looked at the team on the left, and the light of the tactical light became blurred in the fog.

Swallow-Swallow-

"Damn, what's that sound." A sailor saw a long black shadow flash across the ceiling above his head.

This slurping sound was like the multi-legged creatures such as super mutant centipedes that can only be seen in the lower nest, which was creepy.

"Oh. There won't be any dangerous creatures in there that will eat people." The sailor followed the sailor tremblingly, put down the wrench in his hand, and took a thicker and longer steel pipe from the shelf to give himself courage.

The tactical flashlight installed on the laser gun swept towards the ceiling.

Amid the crackling sound, another black shadow suddenly flashed diagonally above, and the tactical light immediately shone on the suspicious black shadow, but its speed was too fast, and when the light fell on the wall, there was nothing.

"What the hell, what is this?"

Just as the sailor muttered to himself at the place where the black shadow last appeared, click. Suddenly, something slimy dripped on his helmet.

He raised his head suddenly, and a mutant creature that looked like a scorpion and a snake man was coiled on the pipe above his head. Half of his face had undergone a deformed mutation, and the twisted spiral bone growth broke through the human skull and was covered by a layer of purple gelatinous flesh.

Its spine pierced through the charred skin and spiraled upward, forming three pairs of curved horns with marrow flowing; the place where the cheeks should have been split into six fluttering compound eyes, each pupil reflecting the color of a different evil god.

The monster screamed obscenely and pounced directly from above at a speed that ordinary people could hardly react to. The huge claws cut a man in the middle in an instant, just like scraping on mashed potatoes, and raised the claws and swung them, smashing the sailor and the steel pipe in front of him.

"Ah!!!"

In the thick purple mist, a scream broke the strange silence of the cargo hold.
