Chapter 90 Ecology of the Nest

Mona, the name on this card.

reminded Fu Qinghai of a lot of things at once.

Schwerin nest capital.

In the milestone events of the entire space hulk stage, the black hand hiding behind the scenes, the name that will loom from time to time.

Chen Xinlu and a group of reincarnators of the Horus camp descended on the nest capital of Shiweilin, and after some exploration, relying on their magical powers, they decided to overthrow the rule of the planetary governor, and then sent a message to the army of the commander to welcome the arrival of the rebel fleet.

As a result, they overestimated themselves and underestimated the standing military power of the Empire, even if it was a military force like the Imperial Guard, it was not something that a group of non-psionic people could overthrow casually, and they were suppressed by the Planetary Governor with one hand, and the rebellion ended in failure.

In the end, it turned out that Chen Xinlu, a group of reincarnators with extradimensional self-esteem and self-confidence, was only used as a gun by the natives of the nest capital, and finally became an outcast arranged by Tzeentch - the bait for the space wreckage to attract enslavers.

Fu Qinghai looked at the remnants of the medicine in this place, and secretly thought in his heart that the group of reincarnators that Chen Xinlu had worked so hard to pull up in the nest capital at that time were really pulling.

Entering the world of reincarnation to take drugs?

What a piece of.

Fu Qinghai recalled the mess in that place after he entered the cabin, and now looking back, maybe it was a group of addicts who gathered to knock drugs, no wonder after he brutally killed the two of them, the rest scattered in a hurry.

But then again, with Chen Xinlu's sick appearance at that time, who knows if she knocked the medicine or not, after all, the reflector and the necromancy, these things related to subspace, for psionics, are not just drugs, they should be regarded as some kind of magic potion.

The pink demon who disguised herself as a little girl to deceive Chen Xinlu's trust - Mona, a low-level Tzeentch demon, had been slashed by Chen Xue with the sacred sword of Emperor Weishan, there was nothing to say.

But there is one person's name, and Fu Qinghai still has an impression.

"Baron Zedo......"

Fu Qinghai stood up and whispered to himself.

According to information provided by the space ape Slan, it was captured and kept in captivity for decades by the Baron Zedu family in the nest of Schwerin before being sent to the space hulk ship to build the gravity siphon device.

At that time, Fu Qinghai judged from the situation described by Shi Lan that this family of Baron Zedu was likely to be a cult family that secretly served the evil god of Thorny.

Including Chen Xinlu and his team, they were able to avoid the pursuit of the planetary governor's troops and escape to the space ship, which is probably also the handiwork of Baron Zedu.

A hive nobleman who secretly serves the evil god is involved in a conspiracy against the Space Marine fleet.

"The grievances have not been reported, and the remaining feelings have not been resolved......"

Fu Qinghai chuckled, smiling a little wickedly and cruelly.

Suddenly, he thought about it:

"What the...... It can't be Tzeentch's conspiracy again, right? ”

The smile on Fu Qinghai's face disappeared.

Be cautious, but be cautious.

Fu Qinghai secretly reminded himself, opened his palm and aimed at the garbage and debris on the ground, the hexagonal armor in the middle of the palm slid open, a blazing white pillar of light shot out, and the arc pulse cannon incinerated all the drug residues such as the reflector piece.

……

Carrying a huge jetpack and a bunch of weapons around his waist, Fu Qinghai trudged through the ruins of the bottom nest.

The scattered black puddles were bottomless, and Fu Qinghai directly activated the turbofan whenever he encountered a puddle blocking the way and jumped over.

Who knows how deep the water is, and who knows what's in the water at the bottom nest.

At least this suit of armor is not good at underwater combat.

Fu Qinghai suspected that this should be some nest near the ocean, the bottom nest is located below sea level I don't know how deep, the engineer's intuition told Fu Qinghai that it was the huge and heavy pressure wall and the complex ancient drainage system that saved this dark place from being swallowed up by the sea, even so, hundreds of tons of seawater still poured into here day after day from the fissures of disrepair, forming small seas one after another in the poorly drained low-lying areas.

Fu Qinghai quietly came to the back of the man-made building on the ruins, which was the dim light that he had seen from a distance before, which looked like a shanty patched together with garbage. When a Space Marine's decision not to make a sound, the heavy armor did not cause his whereabouts to be revealed, Fu Qinghai walked slowly to the light.

It was a tin promethium lamp hanging on the shore, emitting a dim yellow glow.

Next to the rusty chandelier, a figure wearing a hood and a tattered robe sat quietly.

Fu Qinghai stretched out his hand and pressed it on his emaciated shoulder, and said in a low voice:

"Hello."

The tattered robe shook, and the person sitting on the shore was startled, he turned around, and the face exposed under the hood also startled Fu Qinghai:

A contorted face studded with seven eyes of various sizes.

Mutants!

Fu Qinghai raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart.

"You...... Who are you and why are you here? ”

The mutant looked up at the tall and hideous armored little giant behind him, his thin body trembling, his tone full of fear.

The Nest's brutal survival instinct told her that a guy of this kind would definitely not be easy to mess with.

At the bottom of the nest, which is full of thousand-year-old garbage, toxic radiation, and evil spirits, heretics have always been breeding heretics, and it is not surprising that cultists and mutants appear.

Even, you can't tell if it was because humans mutated and were driven to the bottom nest, or because they were driven to live in the bottom nest, the mutation occurred.

Listening to the voice of this mutant, it should still be a young girl, but this face full of eyeballs really makes Fu Qinghai unable to correspond to the "young girl".

Fu Qinghai withdrew his arm and said lightly:

"You don't care who I am, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat here?"

The mutant girl lifted her tattered robe, revealing her thin, rib-protruding chest, and with no feminine features but two pitiful dots, she said:

"As you can see, I'm hungry too."

Fu Qinghai was silent.

In addition to being as thin as a skeleton, the mutant girl's skin is not in the slightest connection with the word "young", it may have been destroyed by radiation, it may have been corroded by toxic air and water, in short, it is dull and wrinkled, and it is covered with ugly spots.

Fu Qinghai turned his head to look at the promethium iron lamp on the shore, the light was reflected on the dark water surface, and the water surface rippled, as if there were living creatures swimming underneath.

"What's that?"

Fu Qinghai pointed to the surface of the water and asked.

"Bottom nest burrowing grouper."

The mutant girl replied honestly.

Fu Qinghai asked:

"Why don't you eat it?"

The mutant girl shook her head:

"It's going to eat me first."

Fu Qinghai looked at the promethium lamp, then looked at the water surface, and said:

"Is it phototaxis?"

The mutant girl thought for a moment before she figured out what "phototaxis" meant, and nodded.

Fu Qinghai walked to the water's edge, leaned out half of his body, stretched out an arm, and aimed his palm at the surface of the water, and a blazing white light lit up in the middle......

"Whoa!"

With a loud bang, a behemoth jumped out of the water quickly and quickly in the splash, opened its huge mouth and bit Fu Qinghai's arm, Fu Qinghai did not shrink back, and let the giant mouth of the strange fish engulf his entire arm.

"Click!"

The fine teeth slammed into the terracotta steel of the shoulder armor and shattered.

Fu Qinghai's palm grabbed it hard, penetrated the internal organ wall of the strange fish, felt that something was held in the palm of his hand, and immediately pinched it hard, "pia", there is a unique feeling of a balloon water bag bursting.

Fu Qinghai twisted his waist and raised his arms, and with a hard throw, the two-meter-long giant strange fish was thrown to the shore by Fu Qinghai.

The internal organs were pinched and exploded by Fu Qinghai, still fluttering, the dorsal fin, pectoral fin and tail fin opened and closed, and the long hollow spikes were exposed to the air.

"Smack!"

There was a crunch, and the strange fish fell silent.

The mutant girl was stunned.

He didn't even come up with any kind of weapon.

……

The two-meter-long bottom-nest burrowing grouper is laid out on the table in the shantytown.

All the resources of the bottom nest are limited, and the mutant girl has no cooking utensils and fuel to cook this huge strange fish, Fu Qinghai can only use the arc pulse cannon built into the palm of his hand, using the method of roasting sashimi in Japanese food, and the edge of the high-temperature laser is scratched on the surface of the fish body and heated slightly.

The skin of the fish is very gelatinous, like the eastern star grouper, the fish meat is snow-white and firm, and the taste is good, but if you take the Geiger counter and put it next to the fish, the instrument will sound an alarm.

There is radiation in the fish.

Fukushima grouper, clean and hygienic belongs to yes.

Fu Qinghai only ate the fattest belly and mid-abdomen, and didn't eat the rest.

He sat quietly, watching the mutant girl bury her head in the belly of the fish and feast on it, even tearing out the half-baked fish intestines and stuffing them into her mouth, eager to break the fish bones and suck the pith.

It seems that a whole fish can be stuffed into a small body, and mutants are indeed not to be underestimated.

"What are you lighting that lamp for?"

Fu Qinghai was a little curious, since the resources are limited, since it is impossible to catch strange fish, does lighting the lamp consume fuel.

"Show my mom and dad the way."

The mutant girl said vaguely.

"How long have you been waiting on the shore?"

"Fourteen days."

Sure enough, it unfolded into another tragic story from the bottom nest.

Her parents are most likely dead.

But what does it have to do with me?

Fu Qinghai sat on the construction waste and thought to himself.

Fu Qinghai asked again:

"I want to go to the upper floor, do you have a way and a way?"

In the huge and complex nest capital city that reaches up to the stratosphere and down to the deep sea mantle, the leap from one layer to another is not achieved by flying up at full speed with a jetpack, but must have a guide or map, or a special vehicle.

The mutant girl raised her head from the open belly of the fish, blinked her seven eyes, and said:

"I don't, but I know someone, and she probably does."

Fu Qinghai picked up the helmet on the table and put it on:

"Take me to her."

……

The Empire believed in and revered the purity of humanity, as evidenced by the ubiquitous skull emblems.

But the Empire's attitude towards mutants is not like that towards illegal psykers, they will be killed if they are caught, and mutants are discriminated against in the imperial society, but strictly speaking, they are not illegal citizens, and the Imperial government's approach is often to expel them, or send them to the mines to do hard work, and some war-prone galaxies will even form a redemption force composed of all mutant criminals to use as cannon fodder death squads.

Fu Qinghai is a Space Marine, not a hive marshal, and the problem of mutants is not up to him, he just wants to rush to the upper echelons of Hive as soon as possible to see what the situation is in Shiweilin Hand Capital, and it would be better to contact the loyal fleet by the way.

When a wild Space Marine? It was the choice of a desperate fallen angel, Fu Qinghai was a loyal white scar with a red root, and he had to return to Terra to recover his life as soon as possible.

Fu Qinghai followed the mutant girl to a hidden place, where there were only mountains of ancient construction debris, countless floors, roads and bridges sunk in the middle, in the "in" shaped space supported by two broken bridges, Fu Qinghai saw the woman.

A yellow exploding head, tufts of hair wrapped in hairspray like a hedgehog into the sky, heavy smoky makeup, rippled red tattoos all over her cheeks, shiny metal armor that covered only her chest, thighs, and arms, and shoulders draped in some kind of fur scarf, adorned with chains, rivets, belts, and skulls.

In one hand he holds a long-pole laser gun and in the other a saber with a gauntlet.

The light under the broken bridge was dim, and Fu Qinghai's superhuman vision locked on to the woman before she found herself.

seems to be the lead singer of a hardcore heavy metal rock band in the seventies, but with a weapon in his hand instead of an electric guitar, in terms of figure alone, the woman's body is plump and sexy and hot, but the aesthetic style of the woman in the nest is really unacceptable to Fu Qinghai, a very typical female member of the nest gang, the so-called "gothpunk" is also like this.

She stood proudly on a pile of cement waste, stepped on the stone pier with one foot, and looked in the direction of the visitor with her chin high, but when the woman gradually saw the little armored giant walking slowly outside the broken bridge, especially the pair of scarlet goggles......

She was so frightened that she almost couldn't hold the saber in her hand.

"Ah...... Astarte ......"

"Hello."

is still the fixed opening sentence, Fu Qinghai's tone is flat.

There was a promethium lamp on the ground, and when the tall and burly Fu Qinghai stood in front of the woman, the dim light illuminated his front, looking at the clear metal relief of the lightning eagle wing emblem on the breastplate, and the rust-red gears and skulls on the shoulder armor...... The woman's eyes widened and widened.

The famous Martian red.

Space Marine + Cult of the Mechanics = ......

The gang woman understood what these elements represented, she quickly withdrew her feet on the stone pier, lowered her head and did not dare to look at Fu Qinghai's visor, lowered her shoulders, and whispered with some cringe:

"Dear ...... Dear Lord Astarte, to ...... Hats off. ”

Unlike in the Marvel Comics universe, where you have to rely on your fists to make a name for yourself, in the Warhammer 40K universe, Fu Qinghai's tall and strong physique, the power armor he wears, and the symbols on the armor are symbols of strength and status.

The woman lowered her head and saw the mutant girl who was following Fu Qinghai, and couldn't help but glare at her and scolded in a low voice:

"Didn't you say you were a Space Marine......"

The mutant girl blinked her seven eyes under the hood and said innocently:

"What is a Space Marine, Sister Hulda?"

"I ......"

The gang woman Hurda was so angry that she wanted to beat her to death, but Fu Qinghai stretched out her hand and interrupted:

"Alright."

"I want to go to the top floor of the nest capital, is there anything you can do?"

Fu Qinghai put forward his request bluntly.

The gang woman raised her head and said carefully:

"I can only lead you to the upper floor, at most from the bottom nest to the lower nest, and then the passage to the upper floor, there are nobles' private troops and nest marshals guarding the town, if you want to pass, you may need to take care of a ...... or two"

At this point, Hulda suddenly stopped.

The woman secretly scolded herself for being stupid, she needs to rely on bribes to deal with the gangsters like herself, she is an Imperial Army Space Marine, what do you want to do with the Star Marine?

It seems that with the ability of this gang woman, she can only lead herself to the next nest. Fu Qinghai understood.

He nodded and said:

"Then please take me to the upper floor first. By the way, what do you need to be paid? ”

Hulda hurriedly shook his head like a drum:

"No, no, I don't need to be paid, it's an honor to be your guide."

Hulda thought to herself: If I refuse, I am afraid that losing my life will be the only reward I can receive.

Seeing that the woman knew each other like this, Fu Qinghai was also very satisfied.

If you want to talk about what kind of reward to give a woman, Fu Qinghai really has nothing to give her, the weapons and equipment on her body are all assimilated by the hard work of the previous reincarnation world, and the seizure in the tomb world is also the advanced technology of space necromancy, so naturally there is nothing that can give this gang woman.

The gang members who mixed up the nest are not mutant girls who can't even eat a mouthful of food, and they can be sent away with a bottom nest grouper, looking at her plump body, at least she doesn't have to worry about being full.

In this way, this gang member will serve as a guide to lead Fu Qinghai from the bottom nest to the lower nest.

Before leaving, the mutant girl waved her hand to the bitter-faced Hulda and said:

"Don't worry, Sister Hulda, the foreigner is a good man."

Fu Qinghai smiled, he turned his head to look at the ugly-looking mutant girl, and asked:

"How do you know I'm a foreigner?"

The mutant girl said seriously:

"No one will say 'hello' in the lower nest, and no one will say 'hello' to a mutant in the nest capital."

Fu Qinghai nodded, turned around and left the broken bridge with the gang women.

If you want to say that this mutant girl has no knowledge, she really has no knowledge, she was born and raised in the bottom nest since she was a child, and she doesn't even know the famous star marines.

If you want to say that she is stupid, she is indeed not stupid, and she judged Fu Qinghai's identity from a detail, maybe this is the survival wisdom of the residents of the nest.

As for saying I'm a good person?

Fu Qinghai shook his head and smiled.

I say hello because I'm polite, I'm not a good person...... Only God knows.
