Chapter 002: Look, Old One-Eyed
The heat from the Heart Steel surged through my veins, and the enhancement from 100 health points was visible to the naked eye.
With a little effort.
It's sizzling!
The microfiber cables of the capture net were overwhelmed.
The feeling of being restrained suddenly loosened.
Xu Ze landed lightly, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the changes in his body.
Courage grows from the seeds of hope.
He is no longer an ordinary person.
He now has the confidence to struggle in Warhammer 40K.
Heartsteel Unlimited Growth + Hextech Enhancement = I Don't Eat Beef!
Emperor, back then your power sword wasn't fast enough, nor ruthless enough, and you couldn't defeat the Four Gods.
Leave the great cause of restoring the galaxy and liberating all mankind to me.
hey-hey……
After his fantasies ended, Xu Ze had to face the harsh reality.
Potential is not the same as ability.
At this stage, he is just a slightly fleshy mortal who has to keep a low profile.
"We can't stay here any longer; that crazy woman could come back at any time."
Before leaving, Xu Ze rummaged through his belongings, hoping to find weapons for self-defense, but unfortunately he only found a few Throne Coins, the Eagle Emblem, two data plates, a spaceship structural diagram, and a few personal items.
Xu Ze noticed the captain's diary under his pillow.
The cover is printed with Gothic cursive script.
Clearly, the gadgets Yulia implanted in him were high-end products.
Even Gothic is included.
Open the journal.
The preceding records were lengthy and tedious.
It mainly consists of navigation data, supply lists, and mission progress.
Latest content shows: M41.997
Location: Hazy Starfield, Mudonia System Anchorage.
Status: Transportation mission in progress.
"The governor of Mudonia's hospitality was impeccable, but the discipline of the planetary defense forces was worrisome; compared to Kadia, it was practically a children's playground. Fortunately, the prices of chromium and ammunition here were reasonable."
We will stay here for 36 hours to receive recruits and supplies.
The navigator reported that subspace was calm and it was a good time to return.
We will depart for Cardia early tomorrow morning.
May the Emperor protect us; alien activity around Kadia is becoming increasingly rampant.
Log interrupted.
The rest of the pages are blank.
pat!
Xu Ze closed the journal and pieced together the whole story from the clues.
call!
He was currently aboard the Imperial Lunar-class cruiser, the Dawn.
Captain Victor Lawrence.
Not long ago, the Dawn was ordered to go to Mudonia to carry out a transport mission.
They must have encountered Dark Eldar pirates later.
Unfortunately, he was captured.
That's why Yulia appeared on the Dawn.
"M41.997..." Xu Ze repeatedly pondered this point in time. "Two years later, Kadia was destroyed by Abaddon using Blackrock Fortress. The Great Rift opened up, splitting the Empire in two. Humanity ushered in an even darker and more desperate era of resilience. Things are about to get interesting."
Xu Ze casually tossed his journal onto the bed, stuffed the spaceship structural diagram into his pocket, took a deep breath, and pressed the hatch opening button.
A corridor filled with pipes and rivets comes into view.
The sounds of gunfire and explosions, mixed with roars, emanating from deep within the tunnel constantly reminded him that danger was imminent.
After taking only a few steps, at the junction of the cabins, embedded in the wall was a mechanical wet component—an exposed human torso installed in the wiring. Xu Ze's sanity almost dropped when he saw it.
Living chip, wet brain.
The empire's technology tree is ridiculously skewed.
They stealthily made their way forward for a distance.
The sounds of gunfire grew clearer, and the sense of crisis intensified.
The passage widened, and corpses began to appear.
They were lying haphazardly on the ground.
Humans, Orcs, and Eldar slaves were entangled together, their flesh and blood mangled.
Bullet holes, scorch marks, and lacerations tell the story of the fierce battle that took place here.
"Even the greenskins are involved, a classic Warhammer melee." Xu Ze's heart pounded like a drum, and his breathing became rapid. He ripped a set of equipment off the Astragalus corpses and put it on. The standard canvas uniform was a bit loose, and the hardened steel breastplate was cold to the touch. With the shoulder pads and tactical helmet, he finally felt a little safe.
By the red glow of the emergency light, he could make out the contents of the dog tag.
Dejan Davent
Soldier ID: KD-114-9987
Blood type: O+
Affiliation: 114th Regiment, Cadian Assault Force
……
"I just happen to need an identity, brother. I'll live well for you."
Xu Ze stood up and hung the blood-stained dog tag around his neck.
From then on, he was called Dejan Davent.
In the idealistic world of Warhammer, it's best not to use your real name.
If he were ever admitted to the highest heavens, Xu Ze would be his real name.
Picking up the laser rifle next to the deceased, Dejan checked the energy battery and then found a bomb pistol and several magazines.
Armed and ready, we continued our advance.
Go find the main force and rejoin them.
As he passed through the hatch of the distribution area, the sight before him made him hold his breath.
The distribution area has turned into a battlefield.
Approximately forty or fifty Astronauts, relying on the collapsed metal structures and piles of debris, desperately resisted the Greenskins' attack.
"Hold the line, for the Emperor!" the commander shouted hoarsely, parrying a slash from an orc boy with his chainsaw sword and slicing off half of the boy's head.
Laser beams and explosive bombs illuminated the scene as if it were daytime.
Limited by the terrain and lacking heavy firepower, the situation is not good for the Astronauts.
The soldiers in the front ranks fell in droves, like wheat being harvested.
The laser's hiss, the arrow's roar, the green-skinned man's clamor, the dying man's wails, the dull thud of a chainsaw axe tearing through bone... all mixed together, poured into Dejan's ears, and ground into his nerves.
The bullet grazed my scalp.
He snapped out of his daze and joined the battle in a daze, raising his hand to fire a shot.
"call out!"
The laser beam grazed past Greenie's scalp and burned a black spot on the wall.
The green-skinned boy paused for a moment, then let out a mocking laugh and charged even faster.
My teammates were really helpful.
A barrage of fire knocked the green-skinned guy down.
But even more green-skinned animals rushed over.
The lead hunter was exceptionally large, with a tattered helmet on his head, two rusty shoulder armors dangling from his shoulders, a rocket with exposed tubing on his back, and a chainsaw axe dripping blood.
This guy swung his chainsaw axe in a wide arc, smashing the commander's chainsaw sword away with one blow, and was about to kill him on the spot in the next second.
Dejan's face hardened as he looked at the Heartsteel mark that glowed like bloodstains on the Hunting Boy's body.
When the body reaches its limit, adrenaline takes over, and willpower leads you to break through the encirclement.
"Look, it's Old One-Eyed!"
He roared and pointed behind the hunting boy.
Old One-Eyed!
That terrifying shrimp!
The young hunter felt a deep-seated fear, which startled him, and he instinctively looked back.
good chance!
Dejan seized the opportunity, silently picked up his laser gun and rushed over, plunging the bayonet into the hunter's chest with a thud.
【clang!】
[Heart Steel Layers +1]
[+1 permanent life]
"Waaaaaaagh!!!"
The young hunter, wincing in pain, snapped back to his senses, pulled back his chainsaw axe, and slammed the handle down squarely on Dejan.
"puff!"
Dejan felt as if he had been hit by a Norn messenger, his whole body slammed to the ground by that strange force, his vision went black, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The desire to live overwhelmed everything.
The instant he fell to the ground, he instinctively pulled out his explosive pistol and fired a shot at the hunter's head.
"Bang!!!"
The green head burst open like a rotten watermelon.
Its massive body stiffened and crashed to the ground.
If given the chance to say his last words, this young hunter would definitely mutter, "What a cunning little shrimp! He tried to fool me with that old one-eyed guy!"
"Well done!"
The commander, having survived the ordeal, pounded his chest.
The other soldiers also held him in high esteem.
The battle continues.
Without the Hunting Boy, the pressure on the battlefield has been greatly reduced.
After suffering half of their casualties, the remaining greens were wiped out one by one.
When the battle ended, only 12 members of the Astral Army were still standing.
Almost everyone was injured.
Deyang withdrew his gaze, sat against the wall, and breathed heavily. Although his left rib area was burning with pain, an intense tremor filled his entire body.
That was awesome! So awesome!!!
Simply incredible.
He actually killed a hunting boy with his own hands.
Amidst a hail of bullets, his life hung by a thread.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood; blood licked from the tip of a knife.
This stimulation…
Wow, that's fucking awesome!
Watching those green-skinned soldiers fall under the firepower and listening to his teammates' frantic shouts, he felt a morbid sense of euphoria.
The blood pumped by my heart is scalding hot, and every breath I take burns my lungs.
Recalling the battle he had just witnessed, he was captivated by it, a fervent and satisfied smile spreading across his face.
That's why they say they're a fighting nation.
Even if they were to drop a warhammer, they would be just as formidable.
After all, we've grown up admiring sacrifice, liking the color red, using it as a flag, considering 8 an auspicious number, and having a tradition of building ceremonial structures with blood and skulls...
Wait a minute…
Deyang fell into deep thought, seemingly having discovered something extraordinary.
While I was still in a daze, the notification sound rang...
【Ding! 】
[Elite unit successfully defeated: Ork Hunter Boy]
Hextech Crystal +1
[Triggering First Kill Reward]
[Hextech Roulette spin count increased by 1]
【Want to enter the prize draw now?】
"yes!"
The roulette wheel spins.
Once he realized what was happening, Dejan stared intently, his gaze following the pointer with anticipation.
Not greedy, just get any tank engine, steel heart, heavyweight henchman, Goliath giant, astral body, or cutting-edge inventor.
