Warhammer: Empire Reboot

A water supply pipe in the bottom nest ruptured.

Under the old system, the foreman would report to the district chief, the district chief would report to the Chaodu Council, the council would issue a repair order, the repair order would be passed down to the district chief, and the district chief would allocate manpower. The whole process took three days.

Over three days, a ruptured pipe flooded two residential areas, forcing 300 people to evacuate, and seven people drowned in waist-deep sewage.

In the swarm intelligence system, the moment a pipe breaks, the nearest non-combatant reports it via the swarm network, and 0.5 seconds later, swarm intelligence retrieves the location of the nearest repair team and spare pipes from the database.

The command was issued one second later.

However, this efficiency can only cover critical nodes.

The three hives are too populated; he would need at least three million non-combatant assassins to truly infiltrate every capillary of the planet.

Everything returns to that core cycle.

Deep within the nest.

The final stages of the purge of the Negev followers have begun.

Those large cult lairs, occupied by mutants and low-level plague demons, have been systematically burned to charcoal by the assassins using fire, explosives, and heat bombs over the past few days.

The remaining forces retreated to the deepest areas of the nest.

The environment in these areas is extremely harsh.

The air was filled with high concentrations of toxic gases.

The concentration is high enough to kill an unprotected ordinary person within fifteen minutes.

The ground is covered with toxic sludge accumulated over hundreds of years, mixed with industrial waste, excrement, and rotting organic matter, reaching up to knee-deep in some places.

The risk of structural collapse is also increasing.

Area DX-13. The abandoned sewage treatment plant at the deepest part of the bottom nest.

Two White Tiger Armored Death Soldier led forty platoon-level Death Soldiers, advancing down a sloping sewage channel.

The passageway is about four meters wide, with rusty metal pipes and cables entangled with unidentified substances on both sides.

The depth of the silt underfoot varied between ten and thirty centimeters.

Jia Shiyi uses swarm intelligence to expand its perception and scan the area ahead.

His perception range was greatly reduced in this environment filled with metal and toxic gases, but he could still detect signs of biological activity within two hundred meters.

There are many heat sources 300 meters away.

The number and distribution pattern of heat sources indicate that this is a fairly large Nurgle cult hideout.

The estimated number of people is between three and five hundred.

Jia Shiyi requested authorization for the flame cleanup plan from Lawson using swarm intelligence.

"approve."

A11 scanned the surrounding structure.

The swarm intelligence generated a battle plan within three seconds.

The two groups acted simultaneously.

The Eleventh, leading the frontal group, advanced. After advancing approximately 150 meters, they encountered the first Nurgle followers.

They emerged from the darkness.

These things were once people. Perhaps they were scavengers in the bottom nest, or perhaps they were factory workers.

Nurgle's "blessing" changed everything about them. Their skin turned grayish-green and became covered with pus-filled sores.

Some people have deformed limbs, their fingers have fused into webs, or keratinized bumps have grown on their foreheads.

They were dressed in tattered clothes and carried various weapons, including several short, homemade spears.

Jia 11 fired.

The heavy bomb gun roared like thunder in the confined passage.

The soldiers opened fire.

The laser beam traced a scorching red trail in the darkness.

The mutants let out low growls and surged toward the firelight.

Some hopped on all fours, while others hopped on one leg, dragging their deformed legs.

The speed is not fast, but the quantity is too large.

The width of the passage limited the number of people engaging in direct firefights, and also restricted the deployment of firepower.

A mutant that had completed its blessed transformation emerged from a crack in the side pipe.

Its right arm has transformed into a two-meter-long fleshy tentacle, covered with suckers and venomous stingers.

Jia Shiyi slashed horizontally with his chainsaw sword, severing the tentacles.

The mutant let out a shriek, and the remaining half of its tentacle twitched wildly.

The chainsaw sword pierced the mutant's skull. Jia Shiyi wasn't sure where the vital spot was, but the brainstem was crucial in any organism.

The chainsaw's gears shredded the skull and brain tissue, and the mutant finally collapsed.

The mutants were eliminated, and the team continued its advance.

Swarm Intelligence has marked the DX-13 area as a candidate location for the 900th farm, and the assassins will go in to clean up the wreckage.

Although a carbonized corpse is no longer a follower of Nurgle, it is still organic matter.

It can be used as the initial substrate for culture tanks.

Squier is not a picky eater.

Late at night, at the No. 1 Nest City Spire Observation Station.

Lawson stood alone on the open-air platform of the observation deck.

Looking up, you see a dense array of stars.

A great rift tore open a faint purple crack in the northern sky, and in the distance, the Eye of Fear resembled a perpetually open, blood-red pupil.

Every star in the Agrippina sector could be swallowed by the chaotic tides in the next second.

Looking down, one sees the lights of the city lights stretching to the horizon.

The spire area of ​​the No. 1 nest city is lit by cold white lights at night, the middle nest is lit by dim yellow industrial lights, and further down are the lower nest and the bottom nest with occasional flickering lights.

The daily summary report of swarm intelligence unfolds within Lawson's conscious context.

The fleet flew for sixty-seven hours.

All systems are functioning normally.

The ship's hull structure is intact, and the engines are cooling down.

It is expected to enter the agricultural world orbital zone in five days and seventeen hours.

The cleanup of the Necropolis is 62% complete. Over 14,000 remaining Necropolis members and two low-level demons were eliminated that day.

The first batch of orc spores has been released into Unit 1 of the breeding farm.

The temperature in the culture tank was stable, and the nutrient solution circulated normally.

It is predicted that the first batch of adult Squigers will be ready for harvesting in twelve days.

The three lines of defense on the surface battlefield are solid.

A total of approximately 23,000 orcs were killed that day.

Life Points have been added to the account, totaling over 91,000.

Swarm intelligence has adjusted its new battlefield strategy based on the scale-plus effect, and it is expected that conditions for the first large-scale luring battle can be created within three days.

After listening to the report, Lawson looked in a certain direction in the starry sky.

Six silent spaceships, each carrying 2,383 bodies and 20 White Tiger Armored Death Warriors, were gliding silently in that direction at 42% of the speed of light.

"almost."

Chapter 112 The Perfect Pairing of Green-Skinned Ingredients

Deep space.

Six law enforcement-class patrol ships glided through the void at 42% of the speed of light.

The temperature inside the spacecraft dropped to minus twenty-three degrees Celsius.

On the bridge of the No. 1 ship, Jia Jiu sat in the captain's seat.

His heart rate dropped to nine beats per minute.

The White Tiger Armored assassins on the other five ships remained in the same state.

Twenty steel shells were scattered among six tomb-like spaceships, like sealed statues.

The swarm intelligence pathways flowed among them at a rate reduced to one-thousandth of what they would be in peacetime.

Only a thin, hair-like data stream circulates between the twenty nodes, confirming each other's survival, confirming the integrity of the ship's structure, and confirming that the course deviation is within the allowable range.

Inside the cargo hold, 380 bodies were neatly arranged on the floor.

They were covered with waterproof tarpaulins.

The sub-zero temperatures preserved facial features so well that if someone lifted the tarpaulin, every face would be clearly visible.

Swarm intelligence remembers everyone's name.

Day 5, 19th hour.

Swarm intelligence awakens from a low-power state.

The awakening process was completed within 0.3 seconds.

The heartbeats of the twenty White Tiger Armor assassins simultaneously rose to sixty beats per minute.

As body temperature rises, the power armor's servo muscle bundles switch from standby to ready operation.

Forty-eight hours remain before entering the agricultural world's gravitational field.
