Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

While Xiao Yi and the mutants were endlessly repeating this boring game of provocation-chasing-provocation-chasing, Mattia and his group, who had already arrived at the designated combat location, also began their preparations.

Several three-person reconnaissance teams scouted the surroundings while clearing out targets that might hinder the next operation.

Because they were on the front lines of the battle, Matthias and his men were not worried that their actions would attract the attention of traitors.

Ivan only received Nurgle's blessing, not full map vision. He wouldn't notice if dozens of Plague Walkers died.

Moreover, his attention was currently focused on Lancelot and the imperial army he led, and he never imagined that a group of people would be so fearless as to launch a decapitation strike against him.

Looking at the isolation wall formed by plague walkers surrounding the infected camp, Redmond's confidence in the mission's success dwindled.

Even if the horde of zombies stood still and let them chop at them, it would take at least half an hour. By then, the infected in the camp would have already organized themselves and were ready to fight back.

He could only place his last hope on Xiao Yi, hoping that the other party could really bring the monsters from the bottom nest over and tear apart the outer defenses to buy them a chance.

To ease his anxiety, Redmond turned to Charles, who was cleaning his gun beside him, and asked, "Xiao Yi, is it really possible to lure those monsters living in the Undercity here?"

Charles recalled the mutant tribe he had encountered in the Deadhidea and replied somewhat uncertainly, "It should be possible. The mutants in the Deadhidea are influenced by the evil god and have become very irritable and warlike. As long as we control the distance and provoke them from time to time, we should be able to bring them to this place."

Perhaps sensing the other person's concerns, Charles later added, "Even if he fails, that's a matter for the future. Right now, we just need to do what we're supposed to do."

"He will not fail. I have seen it all: the chaotic battlefield, the mad monsters, and the man who will lead us to victory."

"Arya, where did you come from? You scared the hell out of me."

Arya, whose eyes gleamed with a blue light, did not answer the question. Instead, she looked at Charles and emphasized earnestly, "He will not fail."

"Okay, okay, okay, Xiao Yi will not fail. Now, could you move a little further away from me? I don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable."

"That's more like it."

Arya turned and left. Watching her slightly thin figure, Redmond leaned closer to Charles and whispered, "Have you noticed that she seems to be acting more and more strange lately?"

"No, I didn't notice any particular change. She's just a little more lively than when I first met her."

Charles pictured a little girl with shackles and a face full of negative emotions.

"No matter what, I think it's necessary to restrict her a bit. After all, psionicists are like ticking time bombs that could explode at any moment."

As Redmond said, the reason why such a useful tool as psionicists was banned by the Empire was because they were too unstable.

The whispers and corruption of the warp tormented them constantly. If their will faltered and they revealed a weakness, the warp's monsters and demons could easily take advantage of them and turn them into puppets.

Even someone like Xiao Yi, a master of human genetic engineering, will experience various side effects after using too much psionic energy.

It's just that because he has some understanding of the subspace and his body is more resilient than that of ordinary humans, he can usually get through it, but ordinary psionicists can't.

If you're not careful, the psionicist who was your comrade one second can turn into an extremely dangerous suicide bomb the next, blowing themselves and their teammates into the air.

This situation isn't too bad; it's just a few people who have died. The human empire has no shortage of people right now.

What's truly troublesome is that these beings, capable of communicating with the Warp, have been seduced by the evil god and torn open the veil between the real world and the Warp, releasing demons into the real world. At that point, it won't just be a matter of a few people dying.

The entire planet could potentially fall because of this, which is why everyone else is on high alert as Aria's behavior becomes increasingly strange, fearing that she might accidentally do something shockingly ruthless.

"It is indeed necessary to take some measures, but..."

"But what?"

"Something's coming, and quite a lot of it." A little excited, Charles shoved Redmond aside and ran toward the best vantage point nearby.

"What? Wait, could it be..." Realizing what was happening, Redmond didn't have time to complain and hurriedly ran over.

On the distant horizon, a cloud of dust rose, and with the help of his binoculars, Charles could see Xiao Yi racing against the mutants beneath the dust.

"Notify everyone to prepare for battle."

"No need to notify us, we've already made preparations."

The people behind him were already fully equipped and ready to launch an attack at any time.

Mattia, resigned to his fate, looked at the infected camp in the distance, his eyes burning with fierce determination.

"Today is the death day for these heretics, for the sake of the Emperor!"

"For the Emperor!"

For safety reasons, the decapitation team chose a relatively distant location to wait, and setting off now should allow them to arrive in time.

In the distance, Xiao Yi, who had been running with the mutants for more than ten hours, finally smiled as he watched the increasing number of plague zombies.

With a flick of his wrist, the modified motorcycle was sped up to its maximum speed and rushed past.

The plague zombies blocking his way became human-shaped speed bumps, only slightly slowing down Xiao Yi's charge speed, and could do nothing else.

It wasn't until his modified motorcycle crashed into a wall of flesh made up of a horde of zombies that Xiao Yi was forced to jump off and enter melee mode.

The three-armed mutant at the forefront went into a frenzy when he saw the human who had been constantly provoking him finally stop. His somewhat uncoordinated short legs swung rapidly as he launched a deadly charge towards Xiao Yi.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Just then, a plague zombie that had been hit by the motorcycle but was lucky enough not to be completely dead stood up again and stood between the two.

Faced with the sudden obstacle, the three-armed mutant showed no sign of stopping. He reached out, ripped off the other's head, and threw it at Xiao Yi.

The head, shaped like a cannonball, missed its target and instead slammed into the horde of corpses two meters away from Xiao Yi, smashing a small gap into the previously tight "wall of flesh."

The Plague Walker, which was in a dormant state, sensed the presence of creatures around it that had not yet been infected by the Father's Grace, and slowly began to come active from its standby state.
