Chapter 29: The Court Falls
As soon as the Genestealer closed its mouth, the electric light illuminated its skull from the inside, accompanied by a harsh wailing sound. The overflowing electric current penetrated the weak points of its body like fine needles and spread to the surrounding ground.
After a while, Tai Yue gasped and looked at the fallen Genestealer, and once again used psychic energy to attack its burned brain. After finding that there was no response, he went over and recovered the power sword.
"It would be nice if the ovipositor was not evaporated." He then pried open the chicken thief's mouth, and said to himself: "Hey, there is no research material to give to the Alien Research Branch!"
At this time, he discovered that the genestealer's dark purple head armor was still intact. He stepped forward and took it off with the help of a power sword. The entire head armor was like an oval shield, with a long axis of 50 centimeters and a short axis of 30 centimeters.
"The warriors of Ancient Terra will use animal bones as armor. The head armor of the gene stealers is the hardest chitin carapace. It is not bad as a shield. But the color is not good-looking. I will paint it silver white."
Thinking that Chris said she would wait for him in front for 30 minutes, Tai Yue took the headgear and chased after her.
Shortly after he left, the psychic shadow next to the chicken thief's body became thicker and condensed into the Genestealer familiar again. It looked at the corpse in front of it in disbelief and informed its owner of the situation through the psychic network.
In an unknown and empty underground mine, the blasphemous alien sculpture exudes a terrifying atmosphere. The bright light generated by psychic energy in the space occasionally flickers. Bishop Patricia touches the ovipositor of the huge alien in the shadow. , they communicate using psychic networks:
"Perhaps only you, the leader, can give him the kiss of salvation. We will definitely bring him to you!"

Taiyue soon came to the vertical staircase. This more than 1,000-meter-long vertical passage was completely dark, making it difficult to see what was going on above.
He had overused his psychic powers at the moment, suffered severe blood loss, and was a little exhausted. After taking a deep breath, he began to grit his teeth and climb.
Chrissy, who was above, turned around to leave, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. Suddenly there was a slight vibration from the stairs. She leaned down and listened carefully. Something came up along the pipe.
Chris immediately used the laser rifle to aim down, but she couldn't see clearly what was going on below. She waited. If it was a chicken thief and he shot again, if it was Taiyue, the emperor must have blessed him!
Every vibration hit Chris's heart. Soon after, she finally saw clearly that the person climbing up was Tai Yue. He was covered in blood at the moment, with his power sword on his back and holding something in his left hand.
But she still has to make sure whether the Taiyue in front of her has been infected. If he is infected, she will fulfill her oath and kill this man with her own hands!
"Prove that you are really Thai-Vietnamese and not a mixed-race infected person!" Chris asked bluntly.
Although she herself didn't know how to prove it without instruments, if the man in front of her escaped from the chicken thief, he would definitely have a way to prove it!
Chris put her finger on the trigger of the laser rifle, and her heartbeat sounded extremely clear, as if it was about to jump out.
Tai Yue's trembling left hand raised the gene stealer's headgear above his head. Seeing Chris behind the headgear, her body trembled slightly. This time it was no longer because of fear, but because a miracle had really happened.
Chris couldn't wait to pick up the weak Tai Yue. When he reached the top of the vertical stairs, Tai Yue finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell on Chris and fell asleep.
"He really killed the pure-blood gene stealer on his own!" Chrissy didn't push Tai Yue away, but wanted to see his sleeping face clearly. He was so young, but he had a lot of skills and a spirit of sacrifice.
Tai Yue woke up half an hour later, and found himself lying on Chris's body, and Chris used the medicine built into the carapace to stop his bleeding.
"Let's return to the fortress court quickly. Alexander and the others may think we are dead. At the same time, anti-psionic equipment is also very important for this new genestealer sect."
After a while, the two finally arrived at the vertical elevator. They could take the elevator directly to the fortress court.
"Illegal psyker, should I arrest you now? How did you kill the pure-blood gene stealer just now?" Chrissy boarded the elevator and began to interrogate Tai Yue as usual.
Tai Yue had already made up his words: "I prayed to the God Emperor for protection when I was desperate, and when I was about to use grenades to kill the gene stealer, I didn't expect that the God Emperor appeared and immobilized the chicken thief. I just The electro-optical grenade was thrown into its mouth, and you also know that I am very accurate when throwing grenades."
Chrissy didn't know whether to believe his half-truths, but he mentioned the Emperor's manifestations and illegal psykers were not a problem.
Chris knows that the living saints of the empire are the power given by the emperor's appearance, and there is no connection between the Taiyue in front of her and the living saints.
Just when the vertical elevator was about to reach the entrance to the fortress court, suddenly the entire floor began to shake. The vertical elevator then stopped working, and the warning light above also went out.
"Chicken thieves have exploded the power storage factory! Are you going to storm the fortress court?!" Chris immediately thought of the seriousness of the matter. At this moment, she began to try to contact other legal officers of the fortress court and the court's central intelligence through the encrypted communication system of the helmet. room.
The power storage plant of the Fortress Court will store the electricity of the nuclear power plant and use it as a backup power source. Once it is destroyed, the active defense heavy weapon cluster that the judicial officers are proud of will be ineffective!
"The armory, training base, astropathic communication room, hangar and central intelligence room of the Fortress Court are currently under fierce attack by the Genestealer Sect." The central intelligence room reported the current situation to Chris, and the situation she was worried about has become a reality.
"The judicial officers in the armory, astropathic communication room and hangar must hold on! Judicial officers in other places, please give priority to supporting these three places! Those who disobey orders will be executed on the spot!" The low voice of Marshal Jonathan of the Ministry of Justice sounded in the ears of each judicial officer, and he issued an order to hold on in the central intelligence room.
Since the half-blood chicken thief destroyed the power system of the Fortress Court, they have been ambushing in the dark floors below the court, waiting for the attack signal.
After Taiyue and others disrupted the gathering of the Doomsday Lighthouse Sect, Doomsday Lighthouse Bishop Patricia issued an order to attack in advance. While the main weapon of the Fortress Court has not been changed, they are ready to strike first and want to capture the Fortress Court in one fell swoop!
"The bailiffs who came back early have shared the information with the judicial officers. After a short stay, Alexander took a transport plane to the headquarters of the Marsdan Defense Force, and he should also report this matter."
Chris learned about what had just happened through internal communications and told Taiyue without reservation.
"But the chicken thief's attack came too suddenly, and most of the bailiffs didn't have time to change their weapons. They referred to the method we used to kill the chicken thief the first time and adjusted the laser weapons to overload mode. At present, they can barely deal with the chicken thief's attack."
"What should we do now?" Chris wanted to listen to the man in front of him.
"Let's go to the armory first. If the crisis there is resolved, there is still hope to support other places!"
