Chapter 775 Evaluation
Du Tianhao pricked up his ears.
When the Colonel spoke, his eyes were as aggressive as the sun reflected by the ice.
"The people here, the criminals, they are thieves, murderers, rapists, disobedient and rebellious heretics. Any crime you can imagine can be matched with one of them here. They are traitors. They had served as a free man in the glorious Imperial Wehrmacht units. However, they betrayed the trust placed in them by His Majesty the Emperor and his subjects. Do you know what they've done? I don't know if you're in the habit of watching TV shows. Sneaking into residents' homes in the dead of night and threading the heads of husbands and wives with wires just to get a special photo that can be posted on a hunting website. Some of the guys don't know what they're thinking in their heads, and they like to dig out the intestines of living people and sew them up with threads to make a creature rope that can surround the entire city. Do you know the trigger for this cruel and boring act? Just to get a Guinness World Record. There is also a guy who runs a restaurant, he puts an anesthetic in the free aperitif of the guests, gets the sleeping customers into the basement, digs out the brains, and after a little processing, sends them to the top restaurants for a high price as expensive and rare ingredients such as monkey brains. β
"These people, these criminals, they violated the prohibitions of the empire, they blasphemed the benevolence of the emperor. I must, and must punish them, for that. β
Priest Nashanio thought for a moment, shook his head, and argued: "No, you have no right to do this. Only His Majesty the Emperor can sentence a person for his crimes. β
This phrase comes from the Holy Scriptures.
"Only in death can we be judged by Him."
The colonel took up the words of the clergyman and corresponded to the last half of the original teachings of the Holy Scriptures. The conversation reached an impasse, and Nasanio frowned, looked at the colonel quietly for a while, then said nothing, and turned to leave.
"Remember, Nasanio."
Looking at the priest's distant back, the colonel shouted in that direction: "Serve the Emperor today because tomorrow you may have died!" Everyone has their own choice, they have made a choice before, and now, it is just a continuation of the original path. β
For this kind of hellish statement, Du Tianhao scoffed.
Then, at that moment, only for a moment, Du Tianhao clearly saw that a secret smile had climbed up the corner of Colonel Schaeffer's mouth. With a hint of satisfaction, it was as if he had known a secret that no one in the world knew.
This old bastard also has his own kinky fun.
"Cage!"
Suddenly, the colonel shouted the name of the original owner of Du Tianhao's body, as if the old guy knew from the beginning that Du Tianhao was hiding next to him and eavesdropping. Despite his reluctance, Du Tianhao could only walk slowly from his hiding place. The colonel held up a finger and hooked it at him, his tone still calm and solemn.
"As I think you know, this was just the first attack of the Tyranid swarm. I don't know when the next attack will come. So, you have to be ready for battle at all times. β
Du Tianhao nodded and saluted lazily: "Obey, my sir." β
The colonel's tone did not change in the slightest: "The sun will set in less than an hour." I think the bugs will keep waiting until nightfall. I need you and your platoon to be stationed next to the gatehouse. The first offensive was just to understand our current defensive capabilities and calculate our firepower. Those bugs are cunning, and they are far more intelligent than some of us. By now, they must have known that we are the most stressed in the area around the gate. So, when they come again, they're going to storm that position. β
Smarter than some of us. This sentence caused Du Tianhao to reverie. In his mind, there was even a sickle worm wearing a thong and dancing a hula.
"Listen to every word I say!"
The colonel saw the chaotic figure in Du Tianhao's eyes, and accentuated his tone in an angry roar.
"We must defend the gate at all costs. Cage, you'd better keep that in mind, or you'll be all over in one go. Stay near the gate, hold on! Wait for my signal, and don't let anything distract you from the door! Do you understand? β
"Totally understood, Your Excellency!"
Du Tianhao replied loudly, as if he hadn't noticed the current situation. In this attack, the sinners encountered only gargoyles, bugs, sickle bugs, and swiftworms. These are all forces that can be consumed at will for the Tyranid swarm. When the next wave of attacks arrives, the Guardians will have to face more and more terrifying things.
War bugs, executioners, and even the big bugs, the nest owner himself.
Du Tianhao saw this in Cage's mental consciousness. He lived through the Great War in the space of "Greylingde IV". Cage already knows a lot about the tricks of bugs.
In comparison, this guy who took the initiative to give up his body is really lucky. Now, change to Du Tianhao to endure all the suffering, maybe even death.
"You've got your orders, do it at once, Lieutenant. I need everyone to be ready to shoot in half an hour. β
The Colonel's mouth made an unusually stern sound, and then he just turned away, and began to go in the other direction, shouting the names of Lieutenant Green and Lieutenant Kearny.
β¦β¦
The colonel was right.
Du Tianhao found this obvious sentence in Cage's thinking and consciousness, which has been repeated many times.
Cage had known for a long time that this would turn out to be the case. Almost everyone in the unit, including him, hated the Colonel. I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will take his old immortal dog life sooner! I really don't understand why he looks so annoying, but he survives every fight.
A terrible old monster.
And, damn the colonel, his words are always so ******.
Night was fast in coming.
Tyranid's attack hasn't started yet. But everyone understood that this was only a brief period of peace and tranquility before the great war was about to begin.
To Tianhao helped Lieutenant Kony's team to erect several searchlights removed from the "Chimera" tank on the wall. The light emitted by these headlights is very important in the dark night. God knows why those bugs don't need light and can see clearly in the dark. And just like that, the hum of the portable generator echoed throughout the camp, like a demon repeating a damn life-seeking spell over and over again.
However, paying attention to the sound is not really helpful for the guardians. Because, when those bugs are moving, as much as they want to be as quiet as you want, they can be as quiet as they want. That's one of their most terrifying characteristics -- quietness. No war cries, no slogans, just waves of creatures swarming towards their targets. Although they often make snake-like "hiss" noises during combat, it is doubtful that they have a language of real meaning.
This is Nikolai. Cage's question. Du Tianhao couldn't answer.
They are beasts, they are bugs. But they are so tightly organized that they surpass any of these populations. They are like the bees raised by the peasants of the empire in the flower fields, and each individual seems to be fully aware of the intentions of the others. When one of them finds you, the remaining members of the group will soon flock to you.
To take the simplest example: the waiter worm that looks for prey for the entire Tyranid colony, and the infected gene stealer.
The supply of electricity is somewhat satisfactory. Soon, when the searchlight finally came on, Du Tianhao carried his laser rifle and went to the wall to see if this qiΔ was smooth.
However, Du Tianhao immediately spotted the problem.
Those stupid soldiers, no, should be sin soldiers. They didn't even have the most basic combat knowledge, and directly shone the lights to the farthest angle in the wilderness outside. Of course, this is to detect the enemy's movements as early as possible. From their point of view, this is understandable. The problem is that, at least for now, they are absolutely wrong. The distance was too far, the wilderness was too vast, the pitiful point of the searchlight was completely disproportionate to the world outside the wall, and before the snow-white and dazzling pillar of light could sweep to the ground, it was already so weak that nothing could illuminate Cheng DΓΉ.
An indescribable horror grabbed Du Tianhao's throat like a snake. He wanted to shout loudly, but he felt that his whole body was trembling, and even his hands and feet felt cold.
These fools, these damned sinners, they didn't experience the terrible battle in the space realm of Grelynd IV. They don't understand anything.
Nikolai should be thanked. Cage gave himself this kind of "experiential help" from the level of mental consciousness. Otherwise, Du Tianhao himself would be like those stupid sinners, who didn't know anything.
"Stop! Stop! Put those searchlights down, hurry up and put them down! β
Du Tianhao roared, and before he had time to explain, he rushed over, grabbed the nearest lampstand, and pressed the lampshade hard to the ground. The snow-white pillar of light suddenly lowered from the angle above the oblique light, illuminating the outside of the wall almost seventy meters away. Just as the light swirled and swept across the ground, Du Tianhao saw that something seemed to flash through his eyes. This aroused his fear even more intense than he had ever seen before. Before he had time to think about it, he shouted and instructed the others to focus the lights.
"The third and fourth lights are all in this direction. Be fast. β
"And over there, Sock, the lamp in your hand is twisted too."
Nick walked over with a laser rifle on his back and asked puzzledly, "Lieutenant, what's wrong with you?" β
Du Tianhao's eyes stared at the dark outside, and he roared in a voice full of fear: "Go back to your post and honestly guard your position." Don't move, we're in no less trouble this time than we have ever been. Hell, I really didn't expect that they would choose this time to start attacking. β
Such a tone and tone of voice are very rare in Du Tianhao, no, it should be Lieutenant Cage. It was the first time that even Nix had heard the lieutenant speak in such a stern and anxious tone. Nix couldn't help but be surprised, instinctively untied the laser rifle, held it in his hand, and asked suspiciously and seriously: "Lieutenant, what have you seen?" β
Without waiting for Du Tianhao to answer, the No. 3 searchlight had already rotated from the right, sweeping obliquely along the ground at the bottom of the wall, a huge, milky white oval halo.
Nickston's eyes widened, and his pupils instantly shrunk into pins.
The sight in front of him made the Knicks feel so frightened that his spine tingled. Although Knicks thinks he is well-informed, he has to admit that this extreme fear, which makes people feel a little dizzy and even produce a desire to vomit, is not very common to him, and can even be said to be very strange.
The Knicks have killed several people.
When he was in the inner realm of the empire, he hung his boss alive on a barbecue hook because he was dissatisfied with his salary. Killed a taxi driver on the run. In order to get water and food, Nicks blew up the head of a female cashier with a pistol at a gas station...... At that time, he never felt fear. All of them were so normal, and the Knicks didn't think there was anything wrong with what they were doing. Lao Tzu is fleeing, in order to survive. Under this premise, no matter what you do, it is right.
Even later, surrounded by more than a dozen police cars and pointed at his body and head by countless black holes, the Knicks still did not feel fear. The police just did what they did, and I, a thief and a murderer, this is the reason of heaven and the cycle of retribution.
It wasn't until at the Imperial Police Correction Center that Knicks first heard the special nickname "Thirteenth Punishment Regiment".
The situation at that time was not at all chosen by the Knicks: he faced extremely severe punishment. First, the Holy See was responsible for taking over the punishment of the felon. According to the relevant regulations, all felons like him were sent to the Holy See research institute and made into mechanical slavery or biological slavery.
Another type of punishment has a unique meaning. Nicks must fill out an "Application for Volunteer Enlistment." The target unit indicated in the table is the 13th Punishment Legion. The reason why there was such a huge difference in the punishment of the Nix on the part of the police headquarters and the Holy See was entirely due to the intervention of the top civil prosecutor in charge of the case at the time. The reason is very simple, when the Knicks robbed the taxi and escaped, he threatened with a knife and knocked out a couple who were sitting in the car at the time. The two men and women, who were so frightened that they almost spilled urine on the spot, foolishly forgot their child, a six-month-old baby, in the back seat of the taxi when they fled the car in a hurry.
Running away with a baby under the age of one is something that only happens in movie stories. I don't know if it's the director's own personal taste, or to make the story itself more attractive, in those police and gangster films, criminals can always shoot and kill without blinking, but they are always at a loss in the face of a babbling baby.
That's what the Knicks were in at the time. In a state of excitement and excitement, he drove the taxi to a speed of more than 150 kilometers per hour. It wasn't until he left the city where he committed the crime and stepped on the desert road in the northwestern part of the empire that he found the baby still lying in the back seat of the car.
And that's where things get interesting.
God and the Emperor can testify that Nicks never thought of killing that child. He felt like he had gotten a fragile glass treasure, the kind of novelty and accident that had appeared on the Knicks for the first time. He didn't have the slightest idea of taking this baby hostage, just curious about every bit of this little life. He stopped the car for more than ten minutes and stared blankly. From this child, Nix saw his childhood and past, and thought more about his future and life experiences.
He kept smiling at himself, sticking out his tongue, spitting, and kicking his hands and feet.
Nima, shouldn't Lao Tzu's life be like this? I've had girlfriends too, but I'm not married. If that woman hadn't been too stubborn, I should have a home by now, a meek and kind wife. Then, I'll have a child too, like this one in front of me.
Nicks lied on the confession. The reason why he robbed the gas station and even shot the female cashier was not entirely for water and food. More importantly, I wanted to get half a carton of milk powder that the female cashier had placed behind the counter. The woman also had a child, but she didn't bring it out on the day of the incident.
Because of this, the top civil prosecutor felt that the Knicks were not the most vicious repeat offenders. There is also a reason why he kills people. Of course, the most important reason that really made the prosecutor feel that the Knicks could still be saved was that the cop found the still healthy baby in the back seat of the taxi.
He shouldn't be a biological slave. This person can also be saved. For the Empire, it is always better to have someone who is worth reforming and can be used than a walking dead who has been completely deprived of self-awareness.
This is a message from the Supreme Civil Attorney on the Knicks case file. The Knicks didn't know anything about it. All he knew was that after he signed that support application, he came to the 13th Punishment Legion, to this damn space realm. And then there's the endless suicide combat missions.
Fuck, damn it, lucky, Lao Tzu is still alive today. No matter how fierce the battle is, no matter how cruel the environment, God can't take away a single hair on Lao Tzu's body. That's luck. The Emperor must have heard my prayers and protected me with his broad and strong shoulders.
But now......
The qiΔ seen in front of me is really not very common for people like Knicks.
