Chapter 100 People have three urgencies
Koshvito leads the gang members into the nesting area of their dreams.
Many people, either because they do not pay their debts, or because they are chased by enemies, or because of various reasons, end up falling from the upper nest to the lower nest, and this decline is often irreversible.
The life of the upper nest residents is not comfortable and rich, they are also oppressed and enslaved, but at least they have water, electricity, food, work, the most basic living facilities provided by the major merchants' unions, and occasionally some bloody and exciting viewing and entertainment - slave fights.
And in the lower nest, no one will provide you with these, not even a jar of pure oxygen to breathe in, a sip of pure water to quench your thirst, you need to rely on brutal and violent battles to take them.

As for the bottom nest, it is technically the territory of mutated creatures, and it is not an area that humans should set foot in.
Koshvito used a dark gray hooded cloak to cover his black Thor's hammer assault power armor, and led the gang that was also disguised and dressed into the bustling crowd of the upper nest.
Before, Fu Qinghai was either in the bottom nest or in the lower nest or in the suburbs, all of which were inaccessible places, if he came here, he would understand what was the population density of the nest capital.
It can be called the Spring Festival scene of the Warhammer 40K version.
The cliff-like skyscrapers are crowded next to each other, the spacing between the buildings is suffocating, the overlapping steel beams, cables and suspension bridges obscure the upward view, the overall light is dim, the smoke of steam fills the corners, and the colorful neon signs are full of erosion and decay.
Between the exhaust fan and the spiral staircase, there is a dark and dirty alley where sewage flows, between the gas pipe and the water tank, which is forever wrapped in dense thick and thin pipes, and the residents of the upper nest in different costumes rub shoulders one after another, and the noisy and noisy sound fills the eardrums.
However, in the face of this situation, the members of the Spartan gang are still excited, they have not been to the upper nest for too long, and some of them were even born in the lower nest.
Compared to the cold, cruel and chaotic chaos of the lower nest, at least it shows a dystopian vibrancy.
Koshvito warned in a low voice:
"Guys, don't forget our goal, don't forget our mission, if you feel satisfied just by coming to the nest, leave the gang now, I will definitely not stop you."
Hearing Koshvito's words, more than a dozen gang members all looked stunned, restrained their expressions of joy and intoxication, silently clenched the weapons they had hidden under their robes, followed Koshvito, squeezed through the crowd, and walked towards a place.
These dozen gang members are carefully selected by Koshvito, they are strong and healthy, there is no hidden disease and drug addiction, these people are Koshvito's team of troops built for himself according to the screening criteria of Hell paratroopers, after a period of harsh training, they have initially mastered the combat skills and tactical awareness of Hell paratroopers, and at the same time, they are also loyal to Koshvito, the gang boss.
Koshvito arrived at an agreed street corner and confronted the connector arranged by the Somerfeld family, Koshvito slightly lifted the corner of his hood to reveal his trademark golden mask, and the connector nodded, leading the Spartan gang into the floor and to an unknown location.
Several people lined up in a row, passing through the narrow passages and stairs of the nest, evenly spaced between the front and back, neither too close to appear crowded, but not too far to echo, dull and neat footsteps, like a silent marching army.
The connector who led the way was slightly startled, this group of people somewhat subverted his stereotype of the Lower Nest Gang.
Normally, the so-called Lower Nest Gang is nothing more than a group of fierce and cunning but decadent dregs, wild dogs who throw bones at the top of the tower and start wagging their tails and begging for mercy.
The group walked in the hidden and winding passages, and the complexity of the nest pipes was enough to make Mario crazy. The connector man whispered as he walked briskly:
"The trade in the Star Sector has been cut off for a long time, and the spaceport is no longer as busy as it used to be, although the shuttles between the spaceport and the main nest city are still operating normally, but we can't take the passenger shuttle to the spaceport, the airport passenger station is full of the eyes and ears of other families, they will notice you, we take the Sommerfeld family's cargo airship to the spaceport."
"Hmm."
Koshvito snorted, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
The connector man continued:
"According to our patriarch and ...... The agreement of the lord is that the Sommerfeld family will not provide you with any armed forces, not only our family's private soldiers, but also weapons and equipment, and the Sommerfeld family will only be responsible for transporting you to the spaceport, and any subsequent conflict has nothing to do with us. ”
"Hmph." Koshvito snorted softly and said:
"No, we'll do it ourselves."
Of course, Koshvito does not need the equipment provided by the Somerfeld family, if you open the robes of the Spartan gang at this moment, you will find that it is full of weapons and equipment from the familiar hunting suits, including the weapons of the Somerfeld family.
The connector couldn't help but turn his head to glance at the team behind Koshvito.
Seventeen people.
A sword-class frigate.
Can it really be done?
In the cooperative relationship between Gladys and Cyril and Fu Qinghai, there is a bit of force and coercion in it, but Van Lentin Sommerfeld is different, he is at the top of the tower, and he will not be threatened by Fu Qinghai, although after Gladys's persuasion, he agreed to Fu Qinghai's request, but the cautious and suspicious old man still did not dare to bet all on a stranger.
Even if he's a Space Marine.
In a word, the Somerfeld family is willing to assist Fu Qinghai in carrying out his plan to seize the ship, but they are not willing to tear their faces with the other four families and start an all-out war.
Everything is going on in secret.
"This is inevitable and predictable, and this is the inherent weakness and compromise of the bourgeoisie."
In the small room of the nest stronghold, Fu Qinghai said to Koshvito.
"I understand." Koshvito nodded, "My country used to be a former Soviet Union state, and I know what you mean by those words. ”
"So, Kosh, make sure you can take control of that frigate on your own."
"No problem, Aoyama, trust me."
Koshvito's tone was firm and his eyes were sharp, but his gaze suddenly wandered a little, as if he was silently remembering something.
"In Zhiyuanxing, I have completed more difficult tasks."
……
A middle-aged man with neatly combed black hair and intricate iron-black metal implants inserted on both sides of his cheeks, with a serious face and grim eyes, was hurrying on the suspension bridge leading to the large library.
He was dressed in a splendid gown, with an Attila jacket draped over half of his shoulders, fringes and gems dotted with tassels and gems, and a top hat in one hand, walking briskly, followed by several human servants, and many more servants.
Baron Zedo, the current speaker of the Zedo family.
This aristocratic family, which relied on the existence of the Great Library, was originally just a small and small vault knowledge administrator, and also served as the steward of the Star Choir in the nest of Shiweilin, but in recent decades, under the leadership of Baron Zedu, it has gradually grown and become one of the five major families at the spire.
The Great Library is a special building in the Hive of the Schwerin, a suspended hive structure that resembles a nodule growing on the main hive, but it existed in the dark ages of the Hive of the Schwerin before it was ruled by the Human Empire.
Members of the Zedo family have collected tomes, data cores, and works of art from all eras of the Hive, including paintings and sculptures from distant empires, loose parchment manuscripts left behind by anonymous authors, and ancient scrolls of knowledge stolen from the surrounding star sectors. These collections form the core of the Great Library, but over the past many years, numerous private donors have also added a large number of collections to the Great Library.
I don't know how this relic building, full of all kinds of occult knowledge, was preserved by the expeditionary fleet that preached the truth of the empire, but in short, it has always been located here.
The entourage stayed outside the door, Baron Zedu walked into the large library alone, and soon came to the top floor, where there was a high platform full of ancient orchestral instruments, except for Baron Zedu and the lonely figure standing on the high platform, there was no one else, Baron Zedu faced the old back in a robe on the high platform, and asked:
"Lady Sheila, what do you see in the prophecy?"
The woman turned, revealing a withered old face, her eyes wrapped in strips of cloth, and she spoke hoarsely:
"It's a fragmented picture, it's a dream, open your heart, Zedu, I'll make you empathize."
Baron Zedu didn't seem surprised by this request, he nodded, and closed his eyes as he spoke.
"Wow-"
A moment later, a flood of images flooded Baron Zedo's mind, and he suddenly realized that he had opened his eyes at some point, and was no longer on the top floor of the Great Library, but at the meeting of the Council of Nobles at the Spire.
The picture is hazy and hazy, in that beautiful and luxurious conference room overlooking the sea of clouds, many nobles sit in their seats, red faces and red ears and quarrel hard, what they say Baron Zedu can't hear clearly, his ears seem to be filled with water, only the echo of grunting, but he can clearly see the aristocrats' bruised muscles, waving fists, and splattering spittle.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, they were all silent, and their eyes looked at the door, and the door of the conference room opened, and a tall little giant in armor stepped in.
Covered in blackened armor, with two swords at his waist and a composite blaster with a sight, grenade launcher, and extended barrel, he raised his gun and aimed it at all the nobles present......
"Phew!"
The image in his mind shattered, and Baron Zedo instantly sobered up.
He clutched his sweaty sideburns, his eyes wide open, and he stood still.
Astarte, that's Astarte......
Astarte is coming, how can Astarte come?
There was no news from the spaceport, and the remote sensing satellites in orbit and the deep space probes outside the orbit did not send any news back.
The key is...... He kills, he kills everyone.
"No, no......"
Baron Zedo shook his head frantically.
He remembered all the things he had done in the past, from his first exploration of the ancient secrets of the Great Library, to the acquisition of the words and vague edicts from the Lord of Change, to the corruption and depravity of the Starwhisperers, and the use of the prophetic powers of the Psykers to make the perfect decisions of the unpredictable prophets to help his family rise in the Hive...... Others may be wronged, but they will never escape death.
Baron Zedu suddenly raised his head and shouted at the woman on the high platform:
"Is there any other information, I want more, I want more, I can't judge just that!"
The old woman shook her head and said:
"Zedu, the situation has changed, the subspace storm that has shrouded the star sector for many years is dissipating, the curtain is falling again, and his power is also far away from the real universe, this prophecy is probably the last word I can leave you, you can't get more from me."
"Ah...... How so. ”
Baron Zedu held his head and howled loudly, as if he were crazy.
……
The Valkyrie transport plane landed steadily and docked on the apron of the spire.
The cabin door opened, and the officer led Fu Qinghai off the transport plane and onto the ground of the circular tarmac, and then Cyril and Gladys also got out of the cabin of the Valkyrie transport plane.
The soft wind of the stratosphere blew on the clothes of the young officer, and he turned to Fu Qinghai and the others and said:
"My lord, please follow me and go this way."
Fu Qinghai followed him silently into the group of buildings at the spire.
The ornately carved glass door behind it closed, and the sound of the wind suddenly disappeared.
The group walked on the smooth terrazzo floor, the fresh air with the fragrance of flowers, the melodious music and the sound of water in the fountain could be faintly heard in the distance, and the almost spotless environment in the spire area made Fu Qinghai slightly uncomfortable.
The officer said sideways:
"My lord, the representatives of the five major families have been waiting in the conference room for a long time, and they are very much looking forward to your visit, and the noble families who can speak in the entire Schwerin nest are inside."
Fu Qinghai said lightly: "Okay." ”
Turning a corner, the officer suddenly stopped, turned to Fu Qinghai and said:
"My lord, before entering the conference room, there is a reluctant request for your cooperation, you must remove all your weapons before you can enter the conference room."
Fu Qinghai thought about it and asked:
"I have a question, here, the position we are currently in, the spire of the nest of the Shiwerin nest, still belongs to the category of the Human Empire?"
The officer nodded:
"No doubt, sir."
Fu Qinghai stared at him and said coldly:
"In the territory of the Human Empire, no planetary governor has ever dared to make such a request to Astarte, let alone you don't even have a planetary governor."
The officer's face was embarrassed, he didn't dare to look directly at Fu Qinghai's scarlet goggles, so he could only lower his head and whisper:
"My lord, now is the one after all, during the special period, the people sitting in the conference room are the patriarchs of the major families, if you insist on carrying weapons, I'm afraid I'm ...... I'm afraid you'll only be able to see their holographic projections, not real people. ”
"Huh." Fu Qinghai chuckled: "It's a 'special period', I really can't see anything special about this period." ”
The officer's head hung lower, and he was about to respond to Fu Qinghai's subsequent cynicism with silence, but unexpectedly, Fu Qinghai suddenly said:
"Okay, I agree, I can leave all my weapons here."
The officer looked up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Asking him to convince this powerful and murderous Space Marine is too much of a test of his psychological endurance.
"Still." Fu Qinghai said lightly, "I have one more request. ”
Seeing that Fu Qinghai was willing to compromise, the officer hurriedly said:
"Speak, please."
Fu Qinghai took off the Blue Fang Chainsaw Sword, the Blue Blade Power Knife, and the compound explosive gun behind his waist one by one, and handed them to Gladys and Cyril who were following behind him. Finally, he pulled out the tile steel sword inserted on the side of his thigh, handed it to Gladys, and said:
"I'll only give weapons to people I trust."
After saying that, he glanced at Gladys.
When the gray-haired aristocratic woman heard this, she was almost overjoyed, she struggled to hold the hilt of the Blue Fang Chainsaw Sword with both hands, dragged the sword body to erect it, looked up at Fu Qinghai, her face was flushed with excitement, and she nodded.
Next to her, Cyril was holding a compound blaster and a power knife, and the heavy weapons of the Space Marine quickly bent his waist, pulling a bitter gourd face, daring to be angry.
The officer looked at it and said that it was okay, as long as he entered the conference room without a weapon, he could hand over the weapon to anyone.
"Yes, my lord, please ......"
"Wait a minute."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again.
Fu Qinghai said confidently:
"Before I have a meeting, I'm going to go to the bathroom."
Above...... Toilet?
The young officer was a little confused, he glanced at Fu Qinghai suspiciously, and thought: Do Space Marines also have to go to the toilet?
Fu Qinghai looked at him calmly.
Why, can't Space Marines have three urgents?
"Uh, uh, okay."
"The bathroom is over here."
The officer led Fu Qinghai into the bathroom comparable to a luxury club, and then stood outside the door and waited.
Fu Qinghai quickly came out of it, nodded at the officer, and said:
"Let's go."
Gladys and Cyril were left outside, while Fu Qinghai, empty-handed, followed the officer through the winding garden corridor to the conference room.
