Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

With the help of human radar, Xiao Yi and his team found the hiding places of seven gene stealers within ten days and executed thousands of aliens.

To demonstrate their strength and intimidate their enemies, the heads of the Death Alien were severed and used to create a spectacle.

There was no such custom in Bakda, so the local imperial soldiers did not understand why they were doing this.

However, when Xiao Yi explained that this was a tradition of an ancient Terran nation that had been lost to the annals of history, they readily accepted the order.

As the birthplace of human civilization, Terra holds an extremely sacred place in the hearts of the citizens of the human empire. Anything originating from there is imbued with a sacred aura and receives extraordinary attention and respect.

Under the precise strikes of the Imperial Army, the number of thieves hiding in the abandoned residential area decreased rapidly. This somewhat unusual result immediately attracted the attention of the thieves' leader.

According to normal procedure, they should be organizing a counterattack under the command of the clan leader at this time to buy themselves a chance to catch their breath.

Tragically, their patriarch disappeared completely three days ago after unleashing an angry roar in the gene-stealers' internal network.

Of all the theories circulating among the gene stealers, the most plausible one is that the Imperial army used some special means to infiltrate the underground lair and kill their chieftain.

In any case, war will not end because of the disappearance of one person.

To prevent themselves from being eliminated one by one by the Imperial army like their scattered comrades, the surviving gene stealer leader and his men gathered in the giant plaza beneath the abandoned residential area.

A meeting was held to discuss how to survive in the lower nest in the future.

This is a space they dug out themselves, large enough to hold tens of thousands of people.

In the crowded conference hall, a gene-stealing commander dressed in an overseer's robe stood in the middle of the crowd, speaking passionately: "We can't just wait like this. We must find a way to fight back against that brutal warlord, or death will be all that awaits us!"

In his distorted mind, gene stealers are still human beings, still citizens of the empire, while Xiao Yi, this bastard who indiscriminately goes on a killing spree, is a brutal warlord who should be despised by everyone.

The other sly people around him had a similar view of Xiao Yi, but they didn't have his confidence that he could defeat that terrifying human on his own.

One of the gene stealers who had seen Xiao Yi and narrowly escaped said with a wry smile, in a tone so helpless it immediately eroded any will to resist, "What can we do now?"

"We can't win in a direct confrontation, and hiding is useless; we can only watch helplessly as our compatriots are killed."

A brief silence fell over the hall. Just as the group of cunning individuals were pondering how to break the deadlock, a female cunning psionicist gritted her teeth and proposed a relatively reliable, but somewhat difficult, decision.

"If all else fails, leave the lower nest and venture deeper."

"You mean, enter the bottom nest?"

"That's right, this is the only way for the tribe to continue."

This was a last resort; the living conditions at the bottom of the nest were far worse than at the bottom, where even the most basic food supplies could not be provided.

However, the harsh living environment of the bottom nests became a natural shield, preventing humans from eradicating the gene-stealing cult.

If it weren't for the sudden plague, the gene stealers would still be in the factories where they hibernate, repeating the jobs that had been assigned to them since birth.

Although it's tiring, at least I don't have to worry about starving to death at any time.

The genes of the Tyranid swarm make them more durable than ordinary humans, capable of working for 20 hours straight without any problems. Coupled with the mind control of the swarm leader, the cunning swarm members who do not betray the swarm are the empire's best cattle and horses.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in the world. The plague caused by Nurgle did not eliminate the humans in the lower levels of Bakda Hive, but instead killed the Genestealers who were almost unaffected by the plague.

"The situation shouldn't be that bad yet, right?"

"Then tell me, how bad does it have to be?"

While the debate raged on in the conference hall, the timer on the modified time bomb on the other side of the wall began its countdown.

10, 9... 3, 2, 1, Boom!

A gap was blasted open in the half-meter-thick wall, and countless lasers and bullets pierced through it into the conference hall.

The cunning leader, whose attention was entirely focused on discussing the future direction of the race, clearly did not expect such a thing to happen.

For a time, the room was filled with flying blood and flesh, and the scene was extremely gruesome.

The shooting lasted for a minute, until a flashbang was thrown into the conference hall, at which point the Imperial soldiers released their fingers from the triggers.

A dazzling white light flashed, and Xiao Yi stepped through the gap and went inside.

He noticed the anomaly two days ago, but in order to gather more monsters and clear out all the thieves in the vicinity at once, he refrained from taking action.

He simply sent Redmond with a reconnaissance squad to wander around the area, pretending nothing was happening, while simultaneously searching for possible locations of the tunnel exit.

Sensing the struggling life force at his feet, Xiao Yi raised the explosive gun in his hand and ended the other's tragic life.

Compared to laser guns, which are technologically advanced, recoil-free, and have strong armor-piercing capabilities, Xiao Yi prefers the more primitive-looking live-fire weapons. There's no other reason; he simply enjoys the sound they make when they fire.

Therefore, he specifically asked Friedrich, who was in charge of managing military equipment, to help him modify a one-handed explosive gun suitable for a normal human body size.

"Why must you exterminate us?" The gene-stealing wizard, his body riddled with bloody holes, glared at the man before him with hatred.

She wanted to use her psychic powers to crush this wretched creature into dust, but an even stronger psychic energy around her forcefully suppressed her.

After losing the ability to resist, she could only try to make Xiao Yi realize his mistake through words.

"We've done so much for the upper-class nobles, why won't they give us a chance to live?!"

Xiao Yi stared coldly at the other person, his face expressionless.

The answer to the question is obvious. As puppets of the Tyranid swarm, the gene stealers are bound to betray the swarm. There is no need to be merciful to a group of traitors who have revealed their identities.

"Protest invalid."

Xiao Yi swiftly beheaded the scoundrel who tried to win him over with love.

Her body, now devoid of brain control, collapsed limply to the ground. The syringe containing the unknown drug fell from her hand and rolled into a corner of the room, seemingly the attacker's last resort.
