The Lady Luck is the old frigate moored at the spaceport.

The Children of the Void, born in the cabin and died on deck, have lived in spaceships for generations, and generally have to be the kind of spaceships that are old and the crew has combined and multiplied for generations in them before this group appears.

They can be boatswains, wheelmasters, gunners, engine maintainers, etc., in short, regardless of their discriminatory status, as crew members, the Children of the Void are very professional.

There are female soldiers in the mortal auxiliary army, and there is no shortage of female crew members in the expeditionary fleet, the empire does not restrict their private lifestyle, and there are also children of the void on the frigate of the Short Sword, there are not many of them, and they mainly serve the duties of some lower-level positions, so Fu Qinghai knows the existence of this group of people. 1

Because of their discriminatory status and their lack of adaptation to the living environment outside of the spaceship, these people are very grouped in the cabin and will form associations such as crew fraternities, which are difficult to see outside of the spaceship.

By chance, a child of the void appeared in the lower nest, not only a member of the Spartan gang, but also happened to be the former crew member of the Lady Luck.

After a while, Koshvito came over and said to Fu Qinghai:

"Let's go, Aoyama, let's go back to the stronghold and talk as we go."

On the way back from the bottom nest to the lower nest, Fu Qinghai and Koshvito were quietly talking in the communication channel.

Koshvito:

"The Lady Luck is a very old sword-class frigate, and it has exceeded its service period, so it was sold to the Thorndike family by the expeditionary fleet, and it was sold along with the crew living on it, firstly, these people are unwilling to get off the ship and change ships, and secondly, if there is no maintenance of these old crews who are familiar with the frigate, it is also a question whether this frigate that has been repaired many times can still be driven."

Fu Qinghai asked, "What's the situation with Buzi?" ”

Koshvito said:

"The cliché story, Buzz has a childhood girlfriend, who is also a child of the void, and may still be his cousin in terms of blood relationship, and both of them are ready to make a private decision for life. As a result, once the eldest young master of the Thorndike family drank too much on the ship, this bastard who was tired of playing with mutants and aliens, and didn't know which tendon in his brain was wrong, and after seeing Booz's cousin, he had to have a fight with her, saying that he wanted to try the taste of the children of the void...... Needless to say, you can guess what happened next, Cousin Booz was insulted, Booz was so embarrassed and ready to assassinate Cathy Thorndike that he was stopped by the Brotherhood of the Crew and driven off the ship. ”

Fu Qinghai pondered for a moment and analyzed:

"I think this decision by the Fraternal Crew is probably trying to protect Buzz. The association formed by a group of sailors is not qualified to fight with the Ronin family of the merchants, who control the entire fleet, not to mention that the Thorndike family is still a nest of nobles, and there are too many cards in their hands. Buzz has to do this line. ”

Since the days of sailboats, sailors and captains have always had no upper hand.

Koshvito nodded in agreement and said:

"The Lady Luck crew brotherhood, to put it bluntly, is all Bouz's relatives and elders, of course there is something to do. So let's start preparing, first find a way to infiltrate the spaceport, and then capture the frigate? ”

Fu Qinghai shook his head:

"Don't worry, we have another thing to do, go to the waste wasteland, I want to take the first regiment of Schwerin into my hands."

Koshvito was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Fu Qinghai, and said in surprise:

"You've gained a lot of information."

……

After returning to the stronghold, Fu Qinghai and Koshvito called Buz, the son of the void, into a small room to talk in detail.

When he learned that his boss and the Space Marines were going to capture the Lady Luck and make the Thorndike family disappear, the Children of the Void burst into tears on the spot, took off their hoods and looked like they were going to bow down, but were stopped by Koshvito.

Booz Dulles grew up on frigates, which at that time were part of the 27th Expeditionary Fleet, the Fist of the Empire of the Seventh Legion, and the name was not "Lady Luck", but "Galaton".

After getting the map, Fu Qinghai asked Buz out and Gladys in.

Gladys Somerfeld's two relatives, her cousin and cousin, are under house arrest, and she alone will follow Fu Qinghai's actions.

In the dimly lit small room, Fu Qinghai took off his helmet, showed a smile as kindly as possible, and said:

"Hello, Miss Gladys."

"Ah, ah, hello, Lord Astarte."

Gladys was a little stunned, a little at a loss.

The story of the conquest of the nest capital of Schwerin by the Star Marines comes from the word of mouth of the fathers, Gladys has seen holographic videos and pictures, but she has not seen any of the faces of the Star Marines, she thought it was the image of a man with a resolute face as described by her fathers, but she didn't expect this Star Marine to be so young...... It's so handsome. 1

Fu Qinghai remembered the experience that Talal had taught him, and took off his helmet to calm the emotions of these mortals and allow the woman to adjust to the transition from captive to collaborator, but he felt that something was not quite right in Gladys's state...... What are you blushing for?

Without thinking much about it, Fu Qinghai raised his finger and pointed at the Spartan warriors, and first introduced to Gladys:

"Koshvito, the leader of the Spartan gang, is our man."

The young aristocratic woman nodded politely to the Spartan warrior.

Normally, if it weren't for Fu Qinghai's endorsement, the nobles at the spire would treat these lower nest gangs like a dog, even when their lives were in the hands of others, which was a deep-rooted mentality.

It's as ingrained in their notions that the Star Marine legions are as powerful and invincible.

Fu Qinghai glanced at Gladys deeply and emphasized again:

"I mean, the Spartans are our men, you know what I mean, Miss Gladys?"

"Ahhh

Gladys woke up from his trance and hurriedly responded.

What do you really understand...... Fu Qinghai couldn't help but mention her twice:

"In the aftermath of the operation, the Somerfeld family must cooperate with all the actions of the Spartan gang, understand?"

"Yes, I understand, sir."

Facing Fu Qinghai's questioning gaze, Gladys nodded heavily, and after speaking, he didn't dare to look at Fu Qinghai, and lowered his head with a red face.

Wasn't it smart before, why do you look stupid today...... Fu Qinghai frowned, thought about it, and finally dropped the biggest bait:

"If the plan goes well, the Nest of Schwerin will not have to suffer too much damage and loss, and I assure you that the Somerfeld family will still be the planetary governor of this planet, the only ruler."

Gladys' eyes lit up.

Then, Fu Qinghai added softly:

"Also, Gladys, think for yourself, you're smarter than the so-called direct heirs, don't you want to be in charge of a spire family?"

Gladys raised his head, his eyes lit up with a flame called ambition, nodded firmly, and said:

"I understand it all, my lord."

……

Living in Warhammer 40K is like living in a dungeon in Dungeons & Dragons, the structure of the nest is three-dimensional and stacked, rather than flat. The hive-like living space is haphazardly stacked together, with pipes, ladders, shafts, and crypts...... Numerous transportation networks are interspersed in between.

Fu Qinghai once stressed to Koshvito the importance of the Sommeld family, not only because they were once part of the loyalty faction, but also because the Sommelfield family held the water union and the gas union in their hands, which were the lifeblood of the residents of the main nest city.

Carrying bottles and cans, the water unionists traveled from one channel to the other, while also maintaining the main nest's huge tank, which stored billions of tons of water for drinking or industrial cooling, which union members in heavy diving gear would enter to test water quality, fix loopholes, and remove invasive species.

The gas workers are constantly detecting new oxygen veins, and at the same time controlling the flow of all breathable air in the nest, they control each turbine, ventilation shaft, air purifier, and smoke exhaust vent, so that the dirty air outside the nest will not enter the nest and cause suffocation in a certain area.

Except for mutants whose body organs have undergone adaptive mutations, no normal person can survive in the world of the nest capital for a long time without relying on the water union and the qi union.

"Be careful about the scope of your trouble, Koshvito."

Before leaving, Fu Qinghai admonished the Spartan warriors:

"If something goes wrong with these two major unions, it will affect the main nest of more than a billion people, and with the crowded population density of the nest, it is predictable that one million people will die."

Koshvito nodded:

"I know, Qingshan, you overestimate me too much, the light weapons and gang members in my hands now can't shake the unbreakable foundation of Shiweilin's nest for thousands of years."

Fu Qinghai knew this, and he was worried about whether Koshvito still had some weapons of mass destruction such as individual nuclear bombs, and accidentally blew up a key structure in the nest capital - water storage tank or ventilation shaft, affecting the people living in that area.

……

Fu Qinghai and Gladys, following the guide provided by the Spartan Gang, searched all the way to the secret passage to the outskirts of the nest capital.

The trek in the bottom nest is undoubtedly difficult.

Fu Qinghai left some weapons and equipment on his body that only had research value and no actual combat value, such as the E-11 blaster rifle, identity verification card, Madame Viper's cocktail poison, and other bits and pieces of trophies, all of them in Koshvito's stronghold, took a knife, a sword and a gun, and set off.

Gladys was wearing a full patchwork version of the Hunter suit, and Fu Qinghai put all the captured protective equipment on her after repairing and adjusting it slightly, for fear that the aristocratic woman would die while crossing the bottom nest.

The breathing valve is a must, everyone who goes down to the nest or out of the nest must wear this thing, some areas of the poisonous gas is even so thick that it cannot be completely filtered, you need to close the breathing valve and then suck the oxygen tank.

In addition to the breathing valve, Gladys wears protective goggles on his head, a tight black protective suit, gloves with a small blaster built into his hands, and an optical camouflage cloak on his back.

Small kiosk

Piece together the equipment of Orus (Strength), Jakara (Agility), and Female Leader (Latent), and the three Hunter suits.

Pack up and hit the road.

Together with the guide, the three of them walked through the swamp full of toxic sewage and putrid mud, and the jelly-like active fungus ejected tentacles several times, trying to pull the three people on the edge of the swamp into it, and several times Fu Qinghai dragged the entangled Gladys out.

The three of them crossed a dense forest full of thorny bushes, and their barb-like mutant spikes could even cut through the protective clothing of the Hunter's suit, relying on Fu Qinghai's Blue Fang Chainsaw Sword + Pulse Arc Cannon to clear the way along the way.

It's a long road, and it's full of monsters.

After several twists and turns, dangers abound.

One thing to say, objectively evaluated, the difficulty of these nest creatures is far better than the planetary garrison on the surface of the planet, and has been highly recognized by the star warrior Fu Qinghai. 1

Finally, the three of them crawled through a dark pipe that twisted and twisted, and the guide reached out to rotate the valve overhead, and after a hoarse rust grinding sound, the manhole cover was lifted, and a dull light fell overhead, and the three finally reached the surface.

"Whew-"

Fu Qinghai poked his head out of the well, and a gust of wind wrapped the rough sand and gravel, instantly hitting the helmet, and the wind clanged.

Fu Qinghai looked up, the dim and gloomy sky was covered by dense dark clouds, it was a thick cloud formed by the accumulation of industrial exhaust gases, a few rays of light sprinkled through the clouds, the visibility in the air was extremely low, the sand and dust tornado was spinning endlessly, and only the hoarse whistling wind was left between heaven and earth.

Fu Qinghai retracted his head and shouted to Gladys under him:

"Put on your goggles."

Then shouted to the guide on the other side:

"Thanks to your help, you can go back, and I'll do the rest of the way myself."

The wind at the wellhead was too loud, and Fu Qinghai had to raise his voice.

The guide nodded, put on his hood, and retreated back into the dark passage.

This is also a mutant with a severe deformity.

Fu Qinghai saw that Gladys had put on his windproof goggles, and tightened the protective clothing on his body, and grabbed her arm to lift the woman up, and the two jumped out of the well.

Gladys was blown by the attacking wind, and the sand and dust tornado surrounded Fu Qinghai, like a thousand knives, but failed to leave scratches on the blue shell, Fu Qinghai pulled her over to protect her in his arms, the jetpack behind her was activated, and the plasma flames gushed out, and the huge turbofan rolled the sand and gravel in, making a clattering collision sound, but it still burst out with an incomparable huge thrust, pushing Fu Qinghai into the sky.

Fu Qinghai's flying backpack thrusted at full speed, soared upward, and rushed out of the range covered by the sandstorm.

The huge sandstorm surrounding the edge of the main nest city was still raging under his feet, and high in the air, Fu Qinghai weakened his thrust slightly, and turned his head to look behind him.

The buildings of the nest of Shiweilin are in the distance, like a dark forest with the top reaching into the sky, the filthy river flowing from the sewage outlet, and the foul-smelling smoke column rising from the big chimney, there is a nameless oppression and solemnity.

Fu Qinghai turned his head, the jetpack spread its metal short wings, the tail flame suddenly erupted, and his body pressed down and flew into the distance.

……

Here, Fu Qinghai walked out of the scope of the main nest after a lot of hard work, and Koshvito was not idle over there.

He gave up continuing to hunt the children of the nobility in the bottom nest, the bottom nest is too big and dangerous, and he can't find it all, and the gang members don't have the ability to confront the luxuriously equipped hunters, so they can only act as the eyes and ears of reconnaissance.

Koshvito gathered the members of the Spartan Gang, counted the spoils obtained from the Anti-Hunt event, re-armed the gang members, and brazenly broke out of the stronghold, starting the Nest Blaze and violently encroaching on the territory of other gangs, and gradually infiltrating the Upper Nest.

……

Fu Qinghai held Gladys in her arms, her armor covering the top of her head, blocking the incoming wind, and her gaze skimmed over the rusty red earth of the ruin wasteland, extending into the distance.

The sky was gloomy, and Fu Qinghai saw huge drilling and excavation machinery like lazy steel cows, slowly moving on the waste wasteland, and some huge vehicles followed behind, carrying out crushing and fine screening and other primary processing operations on the spot.

He looked farther and saw the endless Imperial fortress there, the Imperial Fortress Wall consisting of long trench-like defensive platforms and smaller fortifications, cold and towering plastic steel bunkers, topped by the sturdy base of the cannon battery, chalky bunkers half-buried in the earth, and armor with battlements on both sides connected to form a solid shield wall.

It looks a little like that.

Fu Qinghai did not fly over the station, but landed directly two kilometers away from the station, and was about to enter the firing range of the quadruple automatic cannon when he was closer, Fu Qinghai took Gladys and walked on foot to the station of the 1st Regiment in Schwerin.

As a result, they walked to a kilometer away from the station, and still did not receive any warnings or prompts.

It wasn't until Fu Qinghai led Gladys to a place five hundred meters away from the station that he could clearly see the barbed wire fence and the trench without eyepiece visual compensation, the double-headed Skyhawk logo on the iron-gray plastic steel pillbox, and the cannon muzzle high in the sky.

"Smack!"

A slowly burning flare rose from the bunker, illuminating the two of them in a flickering red glow.

Gladys ripped off his windshield and breathing valve, revealing his face, put his hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted in the direction of the pillbox:

"I'm Gladys Somerfeld, and I'm Lieutenant Colonel Cyril and I'm telling Lieutenant Colonel Cyril that her niece is here!"

There was silence in the trenches and bunkers on the opposite side.

Five minutes later, the steel gate covered with iron cones slowly opened inward, and there was no one behind it.

Gladys raised his head and looked at Fu Qinghai.

Fu Qinghai nodded, patted Gladys on the shoulder, and said:

"Go ahead."

Gladys put on his goggles and breathing valve again, straightened his gear, and walked to the open steel door.

Fu Qinghai stood in place and did not move, but the afterglow of his vision had already been captured, from the dark perforations of the bunker, from behind the battlements at the top of the bunker, and from between the barbed wire fences that were entwined in the circles, several laser guns were already aimed at him.

It seems that Baron Zedo's rumors are not without power.

At least the mortal auxiliaries have dared to target the Space Marines. 1

Fu Qinghai still stood calmly in place, like a silent sculpture, without any movement.

It's just a few laser guns, as long as they are not targeted by the macro cannon, Fu Qinghai doesn't need to worry.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Twenty minutes passed.

Half an hour passed.

Fifty minutes passed.

Fu Qinghai raised his right hand and placed it on the end of the hilt of the Blue Fang Chainsaw Sword at his waist, and his fingers lightly tapped the silver-gray skull ball.

Soon, an hour before Gladys and Fu Qinghai agreed, it was about to arrive.

Fu Qinghai's patience is also gradually being exhausted.

If he doesn't come out, he'll have to draw his sword.

Finally, in the station, Gladys walked out side by side with a middle-aged man with a brown beard dressed in a straight system, with a serious face and a big beard draped over his shoulders.

Gladys ripped off his breathing valve and waved his arms excitedly at Fu Qinghai, his nose was red and his face was full of excited smiles.

Fu Qinghai stood still and did not move, the middle-aged man walked up to Fu Qinghai, knelt down on one knee, crossed his hands in the Sky Eagle salute, lowered his head and said respectfully:

"Commander of the Schwerin Corps, Cyril Somerfeld, salute you, Your Excellency."

Fu Qinghai looked down at the middle-aged mortal officer and said lightly:

"Lieutenant Colonel Cyril, I already know what you have done......"

The middle-aged officer's shoulders tightened.

Fu Qinghai continued to say calmly:

"But I'm willing to give you a chance to renew your loyalty to the Emperor."

Lieutenant Colonel Cyril breathed a sigh of relief:

"You will send it, my lord."

Fu Qinghai didn't talk nonsense, but said directly:

"Take all your soldiers and vehicles, follow me, and head to Satellite One."

"Yes, sir!" 1
