Following the footprints of the devil's blood, he walked step by step towards the dark cave.

…

At this time, just as Anne had deduced, in the deepest part of the abandoned mine, in the sultry and turbid mine storage area about 300 meters underground, the sound of gunshots and shouts,

Howls and explosions were coming one after another.

Da da da!

‘Uhhhh!!!’

'quick!'

'Keep firing!!'

'Stop them!'

boom!

Boom! Boom!

'Hold it!'

'You must defend this place!'

‘Fight them!!’

In a long straight passage area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, a group of soldiers and armed civilians with mixed equipment and different ownership were roaring behind the temporary defenses built up of strips of scrap steel and some mining equipment.

Pour firepower or throw bombs into the dark passage ahead, letting the bullets and explosion shock waves contain the various demons and certain demons that are following them in and attacking their defense line.

These twisted psyker monsters.

Thanks to the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, the monsters that had been chasing them since they returned to the market, followed them here, and killed at least half of their soldiers and refugees were finally defeated by them.

It was successfully resisted here.

Da da da!

boom!

Boom! Boom!

However, judging from the chaotic and somewhat hysterical sound of gunshots and explosions, their situation was not good. It was unclear how long they could withstand it.

After all, those demons coming out of subspace and those twisted psykers all have powerful special abilities. For ordinary soldiers like them, even if they have the advantage of terrain, it is not easy to stop the opponent.

.

As the battle continued, as the chaotic lighting beams swept towards the rear from time to time, it was not difficult to see under the bright light. At this time, behind their fortifications, there was a downward staircase, and that

There seems to be a larger space below the stairs, with a lot of suppressed noises and cries?

And that is indeed the case!

Below the stairs is the underground storage area of ​​a mine.

At this time, in this dark, spacious, dilapidated and old area, at least several thousand refugees were gathering in the dark corners, shivering and looking around in confusion.

"quick!"

"Push harder!"

"Follow the rails!"

“Let’s work hard together!!”

At the end of the storage area is a heavy steel door.

At this time, a group of soldiers wearing power armor uniforms were pushing and shoving with all their strength under the shouts of an officer, while dozens or hundreds of strong refugees were also pushing with all their strength.

Helping, eager to open the steel door as soon as possible and escape.

But unfortunately, they tried for a long time to no avail. No matter how hard they pushed or how hard they tried, the heavy steel door would not move at all, and it just stood in front of all of them.

"Stop first!"

"Is it reversed?"

"Which way is the guide rail heading?"

"quick!"

“Go and confirm again!!”

As a last resort, seeing that there was no progress, one of the officers had to stop and signal the soldiers to continue investigating the cause.

And as the group of soldiers wearing power armor stopped and continued to think of ways to operate, as the searchlight beams on the chests of their bulky power armor suits began to sway continuously as they walked, when the light beams

Occasionally, when one shines into the shadows on both sides of the gate, it is not difficult to see a large group of refugees huddled and crowded around the abandoned equipment.

At this time, the refugees just huddled numbly in the dark shadows, as if they were the most insignificant existence in the world. They could only be seen when the searchlights on the chests of soldiers wearing power armor shone from time to time.

That face was filled with fear and numbness.

Judging from their grimy and haggard faces, it is not difficult to guess what the people who have survived to this day have experienced during the period when the psykers went crazy and the warp demons invaded.

"Report!"

"Sir, the direction is correct, just push this way!"

"Look!"

"There are guide rails and hydraulic devices both above and here!"

"The direction must be correct!"

"very good!"

"Everyone come here!"

"Keep pushing, you have to push it away!"

"Hurry up!!"

After some inspection and re-confirmation, the group of soldiers and the young and strong men began to gather at the gate again under the officer's scolding, and then once again began to push and shout with force and slogans.

Unfortunately……

The door that connects to the freight channel and allows thousands of people to escape as long as it is pushed open is unknown. It is not known whether it is completely corroded or completely damaged, or whether it was given to the owner by something.

?

Anyway!

With the combined efforts of everyone, although the iron door, which weighed at least dozens or even hundreds of tons, did make a dull crunching sound, it still could not be opened, even for those wearing

The same goes for the soldiers in armored power suits who have set their respective outputs to the maximum value.

"Damn it!"

"What's going on with this broken door?"

"Damn it!"

"What the hell!"

"What should I do now?"

"How do I know what to do?"

"..."

Soon, the soldiers who realized that their efforts were in vain began to retreat with curses, sweat and curses intertwined, accompanied by the sound of fierce firefights coming from the upper level of the storage cave, and shouts of beating.

The shouts of death and the repeated human screams made the atmosphere at the scene become depressing once again.

"second lieutenant!"

"Let's just blast it!"

"blasting?"

"No! No!"

"How many people would die if there was an explosion in this kind of space?!"

"quick!"

"Think of another way!"

Immediately afterwards, a soldier came forward to propose blasting, but was rejected by the officer.

At this time, in the dark shadows, thousands of refugees are waiting tremblingly...

They were hiding in the shadows on both sides of the gate, huddled in the corners of the stairs, or hiding around the abandoned mining equipment. Their eyes were full of fear and confusion, and their helpless faces were on the chests of the soldiers.

Under the illumination of the searchlight in front of him, he revealed a pale color that made people feel a little frightened and desperate.

"Why are you still here?"

"What's the matter with you?"

"Xu Daudao!"
