Chapter 471: Somnim is in chaos
"What did you do to my daughter?"
Engul, who couldn't find his own Void Dreamer, came to Lin Heng's room, hoping to help through the other party's psychic perception.
But who would have thought that as soon as he entered the room, he saw Caroline lying on the carpet, while Lin Heng, who was sitting on the sofa, was still looking at the information leisurely.
"Please pay more attention to your daughter. She came to me to talk and fainted from anger."
Lin Heng circled the key points in the information again. Caliban, the boulder, and Long Linxing, there was too much background that needed to be understood.
Otherwise, after finding the Lion King, how can I let the other party know that I am not joking unless I tell him something secret?
"what?"
Ngur looked confused, but still looked at his daughter with some heartache. He stepped forward, picked up Caroline and put her on the bed.
"Then why don't you help put him on the bed? Is it appropriate for you to lie on the floor?"
"I'm afraid that even if I can't explain myself verbally, it's better to leave it as it is."
Mechanical planets, webway shuttles? The chaos caused by Abaddon and his Chaos allies is much more serious than imagined.
"Ahem. Caroline..what did she say to you?"
Lin Heng wondered, what was going on with this planet-level webway shuttle? Were the Eldar involved in it?
What were they plundering with their attack on the Stonehenge, and how was the huge webway opened?
"Nothing much, mostly just talking about a woman."
"Woman..woman?"
Ngur stuttered a little, and Lin Heng saw his reaction and knew that his guess hit the mark.
Before Ngur arrived, he had been looking through Caroline's recorded memories, reviewing her life experiences.
One thing that attracted him was that before this, Caroline and Ngur had actually been very close.
Among them was an elf woman named Allport Pearly who was acting as a mediator. This lady looked 60% similar to Caroline.
After a brief glance, I realized that this was her mother, Ngur's wife.
Unfortunately, more than 200 years ago, an outing led to Pearlie's death, and Caroline was not present that time.
After Ngur returned, no matter how Caroline asked, he remained tight-lipped and did not tell her what happened.
This caused a rift in their relationship and Caroline stopped being on speaking terms with Ngour.
"Did Caroline mention the situation and location inside the Disaster Belt?"
Lin Heng shrugged and clicked on the name of Bilak with a marker. The Blood God's followers were showing their fangs and claws, and the Dark Angels and Holy Blood Angels were doing their best.
"After all, his mother died in an area of the disaster star belt that had not yet undergone any abnormal changes. Perhaps he was reminded of her by the sight of her."
Ngur sighed and turned to leave. Lin Heng quickly stopped him and asked him to take Caroline away.
"Since I'm willing to talk to you, I'll leave it to you. It's more reassuring than leaving it to someone else.
If you need any information, keep contacting me, but to be honest, we don’t know much about what’s going on there.”
Lin Heng looked at the pale-faced Caroline, silently pondering the past that no one knew about.
The fleet continued to sail, and at this boring time point, Lin Heng continued to follow Engul as a Blade Oath attendant.
A pirate meeting would be convened every two or three days to discuss the direction of advance while avoiding possible dangerous situations.
And he hadn't spent a minute in his room since Caroline had said those words to him.
As for where to rest, that was no longer a question of concern, because he found himself suffering from insomnia after that.
There was not a single proper surface of water, and he tried to rest, but unfortunately, he could not calm down and fall asleep peacefully no matter what he did.
Whenever he closed his eyes, he felt the darkness enveloping him, probably because he was getting closer to the Somnium disaster zone.
A feeling of dark clouds loomed over his mind at all times as he tried to sense the situation at his destination.
Although that vast expanse of void was not as dazzling as the Eye of Terror or the Great Rift, it was as deep as the destroyed Khaine's Gate in Commorragh.
The twisted vortex in the subspace exudes a cold feeling, but it also contains the principle of cycle.
Like a gear that keeps spinning, round and round forever.
After reaching the edge of the disaster area, they stayed on a dying planet for a while, trying to find minerals or other materials worth looting.
The dead silence attracted Lin Heng to get off the boat to find out what was going on. The planet, which should have been full of greenery, was now completely gray.
The tall and straight trees were twisted and bent, and the carbonized branches and thorns formed a group of black dead wood.
The entire planet has lost all life. Unknown machines with spikes and steel cables, which have been broken and stopped, lie lifelessly on the dry surface.
All that was left in the ravine-ridden city were ruins and corpses; even the tank armor was covered in ashes.
Every corner of the planet shows visitors its previous weirdness. There are no humans, no aliens, no chaos. It is an abandoned planet, totally worthless.
"Tsk, the situation is much more serious than I thought."
Ngur's voice rang out in the sound array channel. There was no other way. Even the air couldn't pull the planet down, so everyone had to wear helmets to land.
"So, what is so special about this place that we should come here?"
"Is your news true?"
"Forget about the Holy Grail of Blood and Tears. Now I can't even find someone who can bleed."
Judging from the audio channel, most of the pirate captains are questioning their decision to head to the Disaster Belt.
But these are all old traditions. Before the so-called treasures are in their hands, these pirates who are unwilling to give up until they see the rabbit will not say a word.
"Okay, gentlemen, we have arrived at the Somnium Scourge Belt. Please remember your respective exploration areas.
Also, if you find something, remember to tell me about it, don’t try to keep it to yourself. Thank you.”
There was another round of complaints in the channel, but everyone continued to move forward according to the instructions.
"Okay, turn on the holographic force field, and we should move towards our target."
More than 300 ships dispersed, like a handful of sesame seeds scattered into the sea, without causing a single ripple.
Of course, there is also the possibility of being overturned by the upcoming waves.
Five days passed quietly, and Lin Heng's insomnia became more and more serious. He even tried to use psychic power to hypnotize himself.
But the results were so little that he was helpless and locked himself in the room. He asked Engul for a high-precision lathe and went to make some gadgets that no one knew about.
Of course, not only Lin Heng was affected, the Eldar warriors and even their ships began to report inexplicable errors.
The signal was interrupted, the equipment was disconnected, the data was disordered, there were strange noises in the warehouse, and more and more strange things happened.
All the psykers on the pirate ships lay dormant because they felt that the evil chaotic power was still condensing in the center of the star belt.
After the tenth day, Lin Heng finally walked out of the room. Seeing his bloodshot eyes, Engul realized that something seemed to be wrong.
"Are you ok?"
Lin Heng shook his head, gathered his spiritual energy above his palm, and wiped his face from top to bottom. Then those obvious features were hidden.
Even someone as strong as Astartes could not go without sleep for 15 days. If it were not for the blessing of psychic power, his spirit would have collapsed long ago.
Now he didn't want to say a word, because once he opened his mouth, he would not be able to help but greet everyone's ancestors.
'I slept a few times during this period, but my dreams were filled with chaotic visions, so I might as well not have slept.'
The message conveyed made Engul look solemn. This was really weird. He said that it was the same on Caroline's side.
However, unlike Lin Heng, Caroline was in a deep sleep and was constantly revealing some images in her mind.
'About where we're going? About what you're looking for?'
"Maybe... Let's not talk about this. The captain said that he received a distress signal from a nearby planet. After decoding and translating, it was found to be a signal from the Planetary Defense Force of the Human Empire.
The galaxy here is changing too much, and it will take a long time to determine the target point."
Lin Heng understood what the other party meant, and immediately nodded to indicate that he could go.
"By the way, if you want to do some exploration or divination, I have moved the Kadak Spirit Stone here."
Lin Heng thought that there was definitely something wrong with his current situation. Conducting an investigation in this environment was like looking for something in the toilet.
The spirit stone will infinitely amplify its psychic imprint, making it undoubtedly like a beacon in the subspace.
But if necessary, he will take risks.
Several ships crept past quietly, and after a long period of scanning and exploration, the Eldar did not find any signs of ships.
However, many broken ships and space station structures can be seen around the planet. The best case scenario is that there are still defenders resisting on the ground.
Without knowing the situation on the ground, Engul sent a group of pirate combat teams to follow Lin Heng to help explore the terrain and transmit intelligence.
Lin Heng did not object, so he immediately boarded the transport ship and slowly approached the cloudy planet.
In space, Engul saw the signal of the transport ship gradually moving away, and immediately issued orders for his men to take action.
After scanning, it was found that there were only two pieces of land above the planet, and the rest was surrounded by the ocean. The abundant water resources resulted in a large number of clouds covering the continents when viewed from high altitude.
I thought it might be better if we descended below the clouds, but the humid fog still blocked everyone's view.
The detector kept warning of changes in the falling height. With visibility less than 20 meters, no one knew whether it was the ground or the mountains under their feet.
The harsh environment made it difficult for the search team to determine the target location. After determining that they were close to the signal range, Lin Heng left the transport ship and moved freely.
He asked the combat team to set up a temporary stronghold, and he hurried to the signal point provided by Engul.
However, as he was walking, he discovered that the dripping rain seemed to be mixed with some substance.
That thing not only has a shielding effect on signals, but also has some impact on psychic energy. He doesn't know if this is due to the environment.
I just felt that after arriving here, there was an inexplicable depressing atmosphere spreading outward, and if I stayed here for too long, that tense feeling seemed to turn into fear.
Wading through the muddy fields, Lin Heng came to a place where the Earthshaker cannon was abandoned. The "Astral Vision" allowed him to see the situation of the abandoned position clearly.
In the trench filled with rainwater, there were several bodies of imperial soldiers floating scattered around. When they were fished out, they were found to have been completely rotten by the rain.
To the extent that he couldn't even take a bite to absorb the other party's memory, but there were still some clues left in the barracks.
The officer who was nailed to the table had his head pierced by his own dagger. Such a huge force is not something that a human can do.
And the rest of the items were not damaged at all, including documents, drinks, food, and even the unopened ammunition boxes.
This wasn't done by the Orcs, there weren't any spores left. This wasn't done by the Eldar either, this method of killing was a bit thankless.
Lin Heng relaxed his whole body, closed his eyes, and the spiritual energy in his palms quietly flowed down. Within a moment, the entangled corpse immediately shook.
The scene in the barracks emerged in Lin Heng's mind, and several shadows were rushing towards him in the mist at an extremely fast speed.
And along with the shadows came the hissing sounds in my ears, like bats echolocating in search of prey.
The monitoring guards were unable to lock onto the figure in the mist. Before they were hunted by those horrible creatures, many people's hearts had already been crushed by fear.
Lin Heng opened his eyes, and he roughly knew why the person came.
The continuous drizzle misted over the plastic-steel barriers of the fortress complex, and the continuous rainy weather caused all the buildings to rust badly.
The rusty red marks left on the windows give the entire building a terrifying aura.
In this depressing environment, there are still soldiers holding on to the front line. After all, if you are not prepared, death will come quietly.
The rain gathered into a stream along the oilcloth raincoat and flowed onto the sergeant's boots. The sergeant, who was using the auspicious instrument, did not notice that his shoes had been soaked by rain.
At this moment, he was staring at the movement on the auspicious instrument. He wiped the rain off the eye mask and cursed the damn rain for making his knees hurt so much.
"Ahhhh!"
The wailing sound suddenly came from nowhere and kept vibrating between the houses. Even though they had experienced it dozens of times, they still heard their hearts pounding.
"Clang clang...Clang clang..."
The barbed wire in the fog made a vibrating sound, and several soldiers behind the roadblock immediately felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
"Number 44! Number 44! Be alert! Be alert!"
They shouted quickly to the side, yelling a number with special meaning, and pointed their guns in the direction where the sound came from.
The sergeant looked at the light spot that did not appear on the divination instrument, and looked towards the vast white space ahead with a nervous expression.
"Astartes, we have received your request for assistance..."
"Fire!!!"
