Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

Matthias's laser gun crackled and popped; the moment he pulled the trigger, the plague zombies in front of him would be completely wiped out.

"Wait, don't do anything." A faint voice came from the tent behind the plague walker. Matthias wanted to ask something.

But before he could utter a sound, Redmond snatched the laser gun from Lina's hand and ended the plague zombie's life first.

"I've already warned you, Cecilia, those monsters covered in pustules are no longer the family we know. Shoot them in the head and let them out of their suffering. That's what we should do."

"If you continue to be so stubborn and insist on researching some kind of antidote to cure the plague, don't blame me for being ruthless and burning you all together."

Only then did Xiao Yi notice that there was a circle of strips of cloth soaked in chromium surrounding them; a single spark could turn the place into a sea of ​​fire.

Such rudimentary protective measures could not possibly stop the spread of germs. If they were not careful, all the survivors in the warehouse would be infected. It can only be said that Raymond and his group were lucky that no problems have occurred after such a long time.

Xiao Yi had always thought that his mental fortitude was quite good, but the scene before him really broke him down. Before coming in, he had to undergo a thorough check, saying that he was responsible for everyone, and this was exactly how responsible he was.

"Are you all insane? How dare you study the plague in a place where people gather?"

Faced with Xiao Yi's questioning, Redmond remained silent, only gripping the laser gun in his hand and staring intently at the small tent in front of him.

It was very quiet inside, as if Cecilia's voice hadn't actually come from there.

"Cecilia, come out right now, or we'll burn you and your students to ashes."

"It's too late."

"What's so late?"

A hand covered in pus and bloody flesh lifted the tent flap, revealing the scene inside to everyone.

A rusty iron cage, a simple bed, and various kinds of medicine.

The old nun, who originally had a fierce look, now wore a strange smile. Half of her body had begun to rot, and several large green flies crawled out of her flesh and blood, hovering around her.

"All things decay, but all living beings endure."

"The pus is sweet, and the maggots are pure."

"Plague is a blessing in disguise, and decay is a boon."

"A loving father's love, a unique kiss."

A hoarse voice chanted poems that no one could understand, and her gray, cloudy eyes kept turning before finally settling on Xiao Yi. Cecilia's smile gradually became manic as she examined the human before her as if he were a toy.

I see you!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi reacted immediately, raising his hand and unleashing a bolt of lightning that ignited the surrounding strips of cloth soaked in chromium.

"It's no use, you'll eventually end up in your loving father's arms." He'd been targeted after all. Xiao Yi had long expected this day to come, but he hadn't expected it to come so soon.

The flames engulfed Cecilia in the blink of an eye. The anomaly naturally attracted the attention of the other survivors, but because Redmond and his men were present, no one dared to take a step forward.

"I think you need to explain everything here to us," Matthias said, holding his laser gun and looking at Redmond warily. As a priest, he would not tolerate any heresy.

Once he discovers that the guy on the other side is problematic, he will not hesitate to shoot and end his life.

"There's nothing to explain. That corpse was my daughter, and also Cecilia's student."

With just one sentence, Redmond automatically conjured up a tragic scene of life and death separation in everyone's minds.

"Even the bio-sages of the Cult of Mechanism couldn't develop a cure for the plague under such rudimentary conditions. Alas!"

Watching your beloved turn into a zombie that only acts on instinct is indeed hard to accept, but that's how the world of Warhammer 40 is. Everyone faces a dark future, without hope, and can only move forward mechanically.

Just as everyone fell silent, Redmond's underling, who had been sent to retrieve the flamethrower, rushed over excitedly. He had gone back to find everyone gone and only found this place after being reminded by others.

However, when he got closer, he found that the atmosphere around him seemed a little strange. Just as he was at a loss and didn't know what to do, Xiao Yi reached out and snatched the flamethrower away.

"Leave it to me."

The original green fuel tank has been worn down over the years, with large patches of paint peeling off to reveal dark red rust underneath. The metal fuel pipe joint is damaged and can only be sealed with a few turns of blackened tape, with faint yellow fuel oil stains visible at the edges.

The eagle emblem representing the Empire on the canister has become somewhat blurred, indicating that this flamethrower has been around for over twenty years. At such an advanced age, it's normal for it to experience some minor malfunctions.

For Xiao Yi, repairing such an old relic was not difficult, but before that, he needed to deal with some minor troubles.

Xiao Yi turned to the priest, who was on high alert, and said, "Matthia, please help reassure the other survivors in the warehouse. In this desperate moment, only faith can keep them going."

It was the priest's duty to appease the residents of the hive and keep them in pure faith in the Emperor. Matthias had no reason to refuse. He glanced at the silent Redmond, put away his laser gun, and walked toward the crowd.

"No problem, Charles, let's go."

"Redmond, could you send someone to take stock of the supplies in the warehouse, especially the amount of food?"

"Um."

As for Xiao Yi, he needs to stay here for a while until he is sure that Cecilia and the germs on her body have been completely burned away by the flames before he leaves.

This unexpected situation has made the atmosphere between the two groups somewhat delicate. No one can easily accept a partner who has placed a biological weapon next to them. It will take some time to mend the rift, but right now, time is what everyone needs most.

The plague of Nurgle is raging down, and it is conservatively estimated that millions have been infected and turned into zombies.

Just now, He saw the toy He wanted through Cecilia's eyes, and it won't be long before this remote warehouse becomes the main target of the walkers' attacks.

For a subspace being without a concept of time, an interesting toy is far more valuable than a planet, especially since everyone else wants the same toy.

"Damn it, can't they give us some time to develop, like in the game?"

Xiao Yi grew angrier the more he thought about it.

"Dare to threaten me? Sooner or later I'll set fire to your shit-like garden and burn it down."

"What did you say?"

"Um?"

Xiao Yi turned his head and saw that Redmond had returned at some point.

"It was just venting my frustration. Have all the supplies been tallied?"

"I've finished compiling the statistics. I have some things to discuss with you."
