Chapter 772 - Being

The colonel's answer shattered Du Tianhao's unrealistic illusions.

"The Battle Nun was subordinate to the command of the Quartermaster Headquarters. Therefore, we have no right to interfere with their actions. However, I spoke to their Supreme Commander about the plans on our side. I'm sure they'll do their part. The same goes for the natives. They will take care of the defense of the wall. Our task is to concentrate on the area around the gatehouse. There, it will be the place where the fighting will be fiercest. ”

Speaking of this, the colonel glanced at Du Tianhao meaningfully: "If you still have any needs that you want to report to me, go there to find me." ”

Not to my surprise, the colonel always put himself in the toughest position. This is Nikolai. The thoughts in Cage's head. Moreover, the Colonel was always able to survive the extremely brutal and tragic battles. I'm afraid only the emperor knows how he did it. Although the sinners did not like the suicide missions assigned by the Colonel, no one could deny that the Colonel was indeed crazy and always rushed to the front of these suicide missions.

Du Tianhao also slandered this. As a soldier, Lao Tzu is not afraid of death. But I definitely don't want to be dragged to death by others.

Unconsciously, Du Tianhao's thinking was similar to Nikolai's. Cage's confusion with each other.

We were put in such a terrible position because we made mistakes.

But what about him? Colonel, what crime did he commit again?

What does Cage mean by what kind of person would voluntarily choose to lead a disciplinary force of the Imperial Wehrmacht?

To plunge into one battlefield after another that can only be resurrected by the emperor's protection and blessing, after breathing a sigh of relief, he does not hesitate to go straight to the next hell. This is simply terrible, and no one in their right mind would have made such a choice. Only madmen and fools in this world are like this. But the colonel clearly did not look like one of them. What kind of will can make a person do such a thing? Well, you should take back those words. The Colonel must have been a madman.

Moreover, it is still very crazy, a very powerful kind.

It has been said that when the colonel was on the transport airship, he used to pass the time by practicing various methods of suicide in the event of serious injuries.

Thinking of this, Du Tianhao felt that his eyelids were twitching uncontrollably. He felt the need to revise Cage's thinking and retract his previous views on the Tyranids. After all, there is something more frightening in this world than that. Especially when that thing exists in human form. The Colonel is a devil in human form, especially when he's ready to fight, like now, and you can look into his eyes as it is now. Then you will also believe the definitions just given.

Du Tianhao has never felt so frightened as he does now.

He began to feel that the proposal that Knicks and Lester had proposed while they were fighting outside should be correct. God knows why Lao Tzu didn't agree with them at that time and left with them. Now, I can't go if I want to. Disasters and dangers are always relative. I used to think that the Tyranid worm was the most feared being in the world. Now, ****** still has a hellish colonel.

……

A sporangia fell from the sky.

It was noon a day later, and the bugs finally found it.

Du Tianhao felt that maybe a waiter insect had escaped the search and pursuit of the soldiers, and then sent a message towards the mother nest in the void. It's not surprising, you know, the squire is not small, but they can actually be so cunning that you can't believe it. They can even smell where you are from a downwind location of 10 kilometres, using their sense of smell. More than not, their ability to change color provides the best camouflage to make it difficult to spot, like a chameleon on Earth and an octopus in the deep sea. It's also possible that the bugs didn't actually find the sinner. It's just that their nature is like this, and it is determined that no matter where human beings are, in short, they will come down from heaven first.

They need to eat on the ground and hunt humans for food.

The night, to be exact, should have been last night.

Du Tianhao stood on the top of the wall, raised his head, and silently watched the sporangia that fell from the sky.

He felt that he had become farther away from the original world, that is, the earth.

To this day, he has not figured out what exactly happened. If not Nikolai. Cage's thinking memory is still there, and Du Tianhao is sure that he will go crazy.

A strange world, a group of strangers.

Now, Lao Tzu has been made by these strangers to stay here.

This, this, this has something to do with me?

Emperor? I don't know.

However, the thought of running away is at best a thought. During the day, Du Tianhao was still a little regretful about why he didn't agree with the Knicks at that time. Now, this regret has disappeared from my mind without a trace.

Du Tianhao heard Cage talking to him in his head.

Believe me, it's a pretty scary sight indeed. There were so many of them, it was like dozens of meteor showers falling at the same time, wave after wave, sporangia all over the sky. I've heard an old legend that says that if you see a shooting star, then you can make a wish to the Emperor. And, Majesty Xià will help you to make this wish come true.

In silence, Du Tianhao remembered a very old TV series "Popular Garden" on the earth.

The storyline is simple: a group of silly men who are played around by a treacherous and cunning woman. Stupid men have money in their pockets, but they are no match for treacherous women at all. Under the influence of one intrigue after another, stupid men fall in love with cunning women. I don't know which bastard director had the idea of the finale. The stupid man with the most money in his pocket became the husband of a cunning woman. Then, two fools sat on the top of the mountain holding hands and watched the meteor shower.

It's a pity that they still didn't take off their clothes and didn't play field games on the top of the mountain. This should be the biggest failure of that film.

When I watched that TV series for the first time, Du Tianhao had a very peculiar idea: Why didn't the meteor shower stone the stupid man and the adulteress to death? In fact, if the ending becomes this, the director can take advantage of the situation to make a sequel to "Popular Garden", the content of which is that this silly man and woman are infected by the cosmic virus on the meteor and become zombies, and then pounce on them and bite them when they see other people. Then, the romance film becomes a disaster movie.

Gee! What a classic idea, why didn't anyone ask Lao Tzu to be a director?

Now, with so many burning stars falling from the sky, Lao Tzu should have a lot of wishes to make, right?

Du Tianhao raised his hand, touched his unfamiliar face, and showed a wry smile.

He decided to use these opportunities for once now, and make a great wish to that strange and never-before-seen emperor.

If the emperor is really omnipotent, then he should know what I prayed for?

I hope those damn meteor showers stop immediately and never reappear.

The wish clearly did not come true. Du Tianhao saw that the sporangia were still falling wave after wave as usual.

"It's all your fault, Cage."

Du Tianhao has become accustomed to the thinking of the original owner of this new body. To others, this is Cage talking to himself. Only Du Tianhao himself knows best, this is venting the anger in his heart.

Cage is a murderer. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the Thirteenth Punishment Corps and became a lieutenant with a guilty soldier.

A murderer should have no right to pray to the emperor. That's why this guy is here, in the service of the Emperor and the Empire in the only way he can do it.

Damn, stay here, stay in this base, be with those church folks. Du Tianhao guessed that this matter must have something to do with his current cranky state. Oh, it's a bit confusing, it should be Cage's own thoughts. I, that is, Nikolai. Cage, I mean, I know that His Majesty the Emperor is our Lord and is watching over us, but I have always known that those who can take care of themselves have to take care of themselves, because the Emperor has to take care of those who can't. Just as we must come here to protect the people of the indigenous tribes, to fight the Tyranid aliens. Because all they have is the heart of a brave warrior, and those terrible knives and spears. These things are still good when they are fighting back and forth between themselves. But using them against Tyranid creatures is as effective as hoping to grab your own hand to prevent a cannonball from blowing itself off.

Du Tianhao had the urge to pull Cage's thoughts out of his body and throw them away.

But he couldn't do that yet. He also needs to know more about this world from this guy's head.

Thinking becomes Cage's consciousness again.

But I think when you stand here and watch your end for hours, a steady stream of coming down from the sky. When you think that if you miss this time, your entrails will be picked out by the long hooked claws of the Worm, or the dagger-like front claws of the Swiftworm will be stabbed into your chest. If, at a time like this, you know, those are not the end of your life, you know, there are people who will be waiting for you on the other side. You know, this qiē isn't a waste of time, and in that case, there's nothing wrong with that.

I knew I should throw all these unhealthy thoughts down the drain. I knew I had to be on my toes, or it would probably be my last in the Guilty Army. But it's hard, really hard, because I've been on the battlefield in the Grelynd IV space. I've seen firsthand what they can do to a spatial domain. I saw with my own eyes how they fought. At that time, the Guilty Army still had a huge number of more than 6,000 men. However, in the end, less than five hundred of us survived the battle. I have heard that ordinary Wehrmacht units lost no less than a million killed in the battle to defend the space domain of "Grilynd IV".

Do you think I'm intimidating or threatening you? Absolutely nothing.

At that time, there were still "Titan" mecha on that battlefield, as well as the brave and fearless warriors of the main army. If the rumors are correct, I once heard that even the Dark Killers of the Holy See are coming. Everyone's purpose is the same, to hold the "Grilynd IV" space. All those guns, all those people, we just barely ended the battle, did not win, and finally chose to retreat.

I've seen too much blood, too many corpses in my life.

I don't have nightmares anymore.

But if there's one thing that gives me nightmares, it's Tyranid creatures. They are so different to us. Even when dark creatures are at war, they are for territory and conquest. But those Tyranid aliens, they only devoured a qiē, not even the stones and dirt, as if they were here to wipe out all life, and until they did that, they would never stop.

That's why, I'll stand here at night, in the cold wind. I don't know how you got into my body. But it doesn't matter. You can't imagine how hot this place is during the day. At night, it can become so cold. Watch them come down from the sky. I feel like it's my own nightmare that has come to pass. Because, this time, I really had a very bad premonition. The hair on the back of my neck was prick at me, making me feel like I was dead, just a step slower than scheduled.

That's why, I'm standing here, hoping that there really is a great emperor, His Majesty.

How I wish he would listen to our prayers and help us. But I can't put all my hope on this, which is why I'm standing here now, watching the sun go down behind the forest, ready to fight with determination I've never had before, ready to do what I can.

Because, the Grim Reaper has crossed the opposite plain and swarmed.

One more thing.

Du Tianhao asked, "What?" ”

Nikolai. Cage replied in his mind: "Do you know why I didn't resist and expose when you first appeared in my body?" ”

Du Tianhao smiled faintly: "Why? ”

"I'm tired."

Cage's consciousness was full of exhaustion: "Yes, I did kill people. That guy used to be my best friend, but he slept in the same bed as my wife. I had no choice but to kill him. He kept begging me to let him go, willing to pay for his own life, and I was a little soft-hearted. But what happened later, completely unexpected. My wife actually sued me that she was pregnant, and the child was not mine. Taking advantage of my confusion and excitement, they wanted to grab their chairs and resist. In that case, what do you think, what should I do? ”

Du Tianhao took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it in the cold wind, smoked it slowly, and replied without hesitation: "Of course, I slaughtered this pair of dog men and women." ”

Cage's mind could be felt smiling, "That's right, that's what I did." I cut off their heads and stabbed them in the stomach with a knife. She deceived me, she wasn't pregnant at all, and her belly was a mess of intestines and feces, dirty and smelly. ”

Du Tianhao laughed without scruples: "You did the right thing." Otherwise, why would that kind of woman be called a stinky, a cousin, or a child? ”

Cage's mind was also laughing: "They call us stinky men." ”

"But we're still going to ride on them."

"You mean the Battle Nuns?"

"I wanted to see if I had a chance. In your brain, I see a lot of nice faces, all of them nuns. ”

For Du Tianhao's answer, Cage was extremely surprised. After a long time, he sent out a helpless thought: "I began to feel that giving up my body to you is indeed the wisest choice." You can die in my place, and from now on, all suffering and suffering will be yours. It's just that I didn't expect you to be so bold. It was the Battle Nuns, a group of fierce women with guns on them at all times. If you show the slightest hint of disrespect, they will burn you at the stake. ”

Du Tianhao flicked the cigarette ash and said lightly: "In the final analysis, they are still women. ”

(This verse is for men, and my wife can't see it.) )

……

The sun has risen.

This is where the first wave of attacks from the Tyranid swarm begins.

The sunlight slowly slanted over the horizon, and dense swarms of insects swarmed from that direction. They are cunning and have learned a lot of human tactics and know how to use strong sunlight to interfere with the defender's line of sight.

Du Tianhao only felt that his scalp was numb. Even on Earth, when biological warfare was at its most intense, the scene was much safer than it is now.

The colonel's speculation about the gargoyle was correct, and the anti-aircraft fire around the perimeter of the fortress was sufficient for the current situation. About a hundred xenomorph gargoyles flew in front of them. They emitted a high-pitched whistling sound in the air, swooping down from high on the line of fire directly below. Then, the anti-aircraft guns and combined machine guns began to roar, knocking down these filthy and evil creatures from the sky one by one.

Only a handful of gargoyles managed to escape into the inner walls. But they were greeted by high-explosive warheads fired from the Hydra self-propelled cannon, which blew the creatures to pieces. It was a terrible scene, and countless charred minced flesh mixed with blood poured over the crowd like a disgusting hailstone. However, even those who were drenched did not have time to clean up the dirt on their bodies, because just below the city walls, another large group of Zerg enemies had already arrived.

Du Tianhao took his own people, according to the colonel's order, as a reserve, and stood a few hundred steps away from the wall to standby. It's not so clear. From this position, you can't see the entire battlefield, but you can hear a series of explosions and shouts.
