Chapter 113: Space Shark: Axe in hand, follow me! Steal people, food, and bombs! (Part 2)
[The little boy, Spongi, gnaws on the fragrant unknown beast meat with an excited expression.]
[You subconsciously remind the other person not to eat too much, lest the fragile stomach and intestines cannot bear it. ]
["Gary told me, Gary told me… Humans, the human stomach has no limits, it's really delicious…" Sponge said to you incoherently, grease almost soaking his pale and skinny face.]
[You quickly finished the hard-to-swallow nutritious porridge.]
[You ask Gary about his identity in confusion.]
[The little boy Sponge stutters to tell you.]
[Gary is his father, who was once a mortal maintenance technician for power armor.]
[Just a few hundred ship days ago, his father died of overwork due to long-term lack of food.]
["Boy, go back and look after my room… After the battle, I'll treat you to meat again!" You, expressionless, suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.]
[You slowly stand up in your power armor and leave the 'Crab-shaped Hall'.]
[You found the location of the armory by asking passers-by.]
[You reported the operation code of the Mortal Auxiliary Army to the Logistics Quartermaster.]
[You received an ancient Raven Chain Axe and a Mark III Godwin Bolter. ]
[You have hung two weapons on your power armor. ]
[You stare at the logistics quartermaster who is about to turn and leave.]
[There is doubt in your eyes.]
["Where's the ammunition? Where's the grenades?" You reached out to stop the logistics quartermaster.]
["Ah? According to the unwritten rules of the regiment, can't we only use one round of ammunition for a normal operation? Grenade? I haven't seen one in thousands of ship days." The confused logistics quartermaster opened his eyes in confusion and stared at you.]
[You couldn't help but take a deep breath and grinned with your mouth full of sharp teeth. ]
[You don't get more ammo.]
[You can only threaten and intimidate the quartermaster. ]
[You forcibly took away two Mark 19-type melta bombs under the other party's resentful eyes. ]
[That is a precious 'holy relic' that has been stored in the regiment for thousands of ship days. ]
[You passed through the complex and tortuous passages and found the mortal auxiliary army ready to go. ]
[This small force of only 500 people will carry out a resource exploration and recovery mission, the target is several fallen merchant ships in an asteroid belt. ]
[The team's commander, Lieutenant Xie Eugene, welcomes your joining. ]
[He expressed his admiration for your noble behavior.]
[You narrowed your dark eyes and scanned the mortal warriors who only had laser guns and simple breathing devices.]
["Lieutenant Eugene, you are the real heroes…" You looked at him solemnly and said.]
["Thank you for your recognition... For the sake of our homeland, we are willing to go through fire and water!" Lieutenant Xie Eugene saluted you emotionally. ]
[When the whole team is ready. ]
[You boarded a Fist assault boat with dozens of mortal auxiliary troops.]
[The remaining nine Fist Assault Boats, led by your assault boat, slowly slid into the cold and dark void of the universe.]
[You looked through the narrow porthole and saw the huge fleet gradually moving away.]
[Among the large and small spaceships, the huge metal bodies of the Tyrant-class cruiser "White Mouth" and the battle barge "Water Monster" are the most eye-catching. ]
[You slowly retracted your gaze, and your armored palm subconsciously rubbed the hot melt bomb hanging behind your waist.]
[Time passes, and ten Fist Assault Boats quickly pass through the cold void.]
[You are gradually approaching the meteorite belt. ]
[The violent sound of countless tiny pieces of cosmic dust hitting the hull of the assault boat continued to be heard, constantly beating the hearts of the mortal auxiliary army. ]
[Soon after, the broken metal wreckage of several huge merchant ships gradually appeared in front of the assault boat.]
[You put on the metal helmet of the power armor and were about to ask Lieutenant Eugene about the specific procedures of the mission.]
[Accompanied by the collision and knocking sounds of countless broken meteorites. ]
[A glove assault boat at the edge of the flight formation was instantly entangled by a terrifying tentacle covered with round suction cups.]
[Dozens of mortal auxiliary soldiers were like solid objects in a can, easily squeezed out of the fragile cabin and thrown into the cold void.]
[The sudden change in pressure and the icy temperature that penetrated into their bones instantly killed them.]
[The simple breathing device can maintain simple actions inside a damaged ship, but it cannot withstand the dangerous environment of facing the void. ]
["Kraken! It's the Void Kraken! We're doomed this time!" Lieutenant Xie Eugene only leaned over the porthole to take a look, and the sound of terrified shouting filled the entire assault boat.]
[You quickly stepped forward, raised your armored hand and knocked the opponent unconscious.]
[You took over the command of the remaining nine Fist Assault Boats without hesitation.]
[You ordered the entire formation to quickly adjust the flight route and prepare to evacuate in advance.]
[However, a juvenile Void Kraken that was five times larger than the Fist Assault Boat knocked away several huge meteorites, carrying with it countless cosmic dust that blocked your retreat route.]
[The nine Fist Assault Boats had to change their flight paths again and circled back to their original location.]
[You stare at the threatening Void Kraken.]
[You asked the pilot about the assault boat's weapon configuration.]
[When you learn that the assault boats only have forward-firing heavy melta cannons.]
[In a flash, a crazy idea gradually fills your mind. ]
["Notify the other assault boats… start the heavy melta cannons in advance and charge at the Void Kraken!" You took a deep breath and issued an unquestionable order.]
[At the same time, you order all mortal auxiliary troops to wear simple breathing devices and hold on to their comrades or bulkheads.]
[After several dozen seconds, the nine glove assault boats rotated once again and gradually merged.]
[A series of scorching hot molten beams were aimed at the young Void Kraken like invisible lances.]
[At this moment, you have activated your magnetic boots and are standing firmly on top of a fist assault boat. ]
[Countless tiny pieces of cosmic dust keep hitting your power armor, leaving clearly visible and eye-catching marks.]
[You slowly took out the two melta bombs hanging behind your waist and set a very short detonation time.]
[You hold the buzzing Raven Chain Axe in one hand, and swing the Melta Bomb in the other.]
[You stand on top of this speeding assault boat, staring at the approaching Void Kraken.]
[The deep roar seemed to penetrate the heavy shielding of the metal helmet and echoed in the cold void where no sound could be transmitted.]
["Come on! Octopus beast! Let's kill them to our heart's content!"]
Thank you for your support!
PS: There is also a small easter egg in these chapters that can only be understood intuitively.
Let's take a guess -

Good days for marine species! I wish you all an open mind, haha
