This Terra is a little weird.

"There are also proactive missions, mainly targeting the clearing out of various road gangs by major companies. Mr. Luo Chen knows that the world is not peaceful right now."

".....Amiya, if I join Rhodes Island, can the contract be modified?"

"What exactly does Mr. Luo Chen want to modify?"

"I don't want to be an ordinary operator..."

"Of course! How can Mr. Luo Chen be an ordinary operator? We have arranged a great position for you, which is absolutely suitable for your ability!"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, I won't undertake sortie missions, nor offensive missions. I will only accept operator training, island maintenance, or outbound security missions. For the rest, unless the doctor deems it an emergency, I don't want to take it."

"Huh? But..."

"Of course, then the way of paying wages will have to change. How about getting paid based on how much work you do? The main thing is that I have already promised Alina, and..." Luo Chen stretched out his hands to Amiya: "What do you see in these hands, Amiya?"

"Such thick calluses, and...very white?"

"All I see is blood, Amiya."

"..."

"So, please consider this."

"I understand. I'll discuss it with the doctor. I think she will agree."

"So what is the doctor doing now?"

"The doctor is taking over part of the work under the instruction of Dr. Kal'tsit."

Luo Chen suddenly remembered that the Doctor seemed to have been hung on the bridge yesterday. Did he seem to have offended Kal'tsit?

"Amiya, what did the doctor do yesterday to deserve such a high ranking by the old lynx?"

"Well, the doctor ran into the operator lounge and interacted with the operators. He stayed there for a whole day and refused to take the sanity potion. In the end, he was caught by Dr. Kal'tsit and was even lifted up by the neck! How terrifying."

Amiya waved goodbye to Luo Chen. Luo Chen squinted his eyes and watched her leave, then lit a cigarette and continued smoking.

Suddenly he felt his hands were empty, and when he turned around, he saw W taking a puff of his cigarette.

"Ahem! Idiot! What are you looking at?!"

Luo Chen snatched the cigarette from her: "You stupid girl, if you don't know how to smoke, then don't smoke."

"Dead girl?!" W grabbed Luo Chen's ear and pulled his body down.

"Hey hey hey! It fell! It fell!"

"Who are you calling a dead girl?!"

"Say your thing!"

"Um?!"

"Pain! Pain! Pain!"

W let go of Luo Chen. He rubbed his ears hard with shaking hands. W twisted them so hard, and no one knew what was wrong with him.

"Are you feeling better, idiot?"

"Ah! Thanks to my great fortune, I won't die."

"Tsk! Speak properly! I was the one who carried you to Rhodes Island when you were injured."

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to thank you, but I couldn't find you and I don't know where you went."

Luo Chen put a pendant from his pocket in W's hand and said, "I made it myself, it must suit you." After that, Luo Chen handed a box from his feet to W.

"Inside this is a precision-made heat-ray laser gun. I'm giving it to you."

W put his hand on the box and then pulled it back.

"Hey, idiot, you proposed to Alina, didn't you?"

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment. How did she know?

"......Yes."

W hugged her arms, and after a long time she took the box, put it on the ground, and pushed Luo Chen against the wall.

"Ms. W?"

"How am I inferior to that little deer and dragon girl?"

"Ms. W, you are a woman, please be aware..."

"You also know that I'm a woman? Why have you never looked at me straight in the eye? What's wrong with me? Is it because I'm a mercenary?"

"No, Miss W, calm down."

"No, I don't want to calm down. You have a shadow of His Highness, and that's why I've been following you. Do you want me to give up? I don't agree!"

"Ms. W, don't do this." Luo Chen wanted to push her away, but he was still in the recovery period. The Sarkaz people were born with supernatural powers, and even though W's body was much smaller than his, he couldn't push her away now.

"I must! I like you, idiot, and you can only belong to me."

W pulled down Luo Chen's collar and kissed him directly on the lips. She hugged Luo Chen and prevented him from resisting.

Luo Chen had to forcibly use his spiritual power to temporarily strengthen his body and push away W.

"why?"

"Miss W, I have made up my mind. You should think about it carefully. Also, I am not Princess Theresa. I have my own identity." Luo Chen left without looking back.

W bent the railing with one punch. She and Luo Chen had been together all the time since they met. No matter how she looked at it, Theresa's shadow would overlap with his. W was curious, but it was this curiosity that led her in. Luo Chen himself was attractive to the Sarkaz people. W noticed it, but became more curious.

So when Alina brought up the idea of ​​fair competition, she became more and more obsessed with it. Perhaps she herself didn't know that what she had done for fun and joking had finally turned into a trace of emotion. After going through so many things, this emotion finally fermented out, especially when she heard Luo Chen propose to the Elafian.

W was unwilling to accept this. She didn't want to see Luo Chen being taken away by another woman, and she wanted to get his heart back no matter what.

The possessiveness and sense of conquest burning in her heart forced her to absolutely not want to give up, which might also be caused by the environment she had lived in since childhood.

Anything that is beneficial to you must be grasped by you at all costs. This is the basis of the survival rules summarized by W and also the creed rooted in her heart.

No matter what, I will never give up.

Unless things are truly irreparable.

Luo Chen walked through the corridor and calmed down. He thought seriously, did he have feelings for W? Of course he did, and he would be a fool to deceive himself now.

But he couldn't respond anymore.

W She should think it over carefully. After all, he is not Theresa. W Luo Chen will not understand or comment too much on Theresa's special feelings.

I just hope she can think about it. After all, W is very smart. Since she has said it herself, I believe she will make the best choice.

Luo Chen scratched his head and pushed the door into the doctor's office.

The Doctor didn't wear her mask. She rarely wore it since returning to Rhodes Island. Her hair and eyes were also pleasing to Luo Chen's eyes. Maybe he also felt a sense of sympathy among fellow human beings.

"Mr. Luo Chen, you are here."

"Hello, Doctor."

"I just discussed it with Amiya, and we decided to agree to your request, but you have to accept my command. Can you accept it?"

"of course."

"However, we cannot give you a formal operator position in this case. We can only sign a long-term employment contract. Do you think this is okay?"

"Okay, I'll bring the documents over tomorrow. Catachan Security Company and Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals are collaborating. What do you think?"

"Okay, please."

Luo Chen looked at the many documents on the doctor's desk and decided not to disturb him.

"See you tomorrow then, Doctor."

"Wait a moment, Mr. Luo Chen."

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you need?"

"Kal'tsit said that you and I are the same, our...race."

"Yes."

"I can't remember anything about my past. I heard from Amiya that you are a warrior, so you should have seen..."

"I have neither seen the glory nor the end, but I think this is the best situation. Ignorance is sometimes a kind of bliss."

"...Sorry for taking up your time, Mr. Luo Chen."

"No problem. I'll bring you some Longmen specialties tomorrow?"

"Good work."

Burning Talia

M42.052

Extreme Star Region Serimara System Uka

Thalia Hive

A huge laser beam broke through the scarlet sky and pierced through the huge biological battleship. The huge piece of meat fell to the ground, raising a dance of dust and blood.

Next to the position of the 914th Regiment of the Cadian Blitzkrieg, the gunners pushed the shells into the barrels and then pressed the fire control button. The ground-shaking cannon fired a shocking salvo, crushing everything in the distance into pieces.

The political commissar pointed his sword at the swarm of creatures in the sky and kept roaring. The soldiers transported ammunition to the anti-aircraft platform, and the rumbling sound of artillery on the position seemed to never stop.

"Guards! You are the defenders of the Imperium, and you must bring the Emperor's wrath to the enemies of Mankind! Talion! Do not let that anti-aircraft gun stop! For the Emperor!"

"Yes! Political Commissar!"

Talion pulled the corpse off the anti-aircraft machine gun, he pulled the bolt and shot at the black tide wriggling in the sky. The anti-aircraft firepower became airtight again, and countless flying creatures of the Tyranids fell from the sky.

Luo Chen sat on the position, throwing stones into empty cans. People around him were running around in the communication trench. He picked his ears. The artillery behind the position never stopped roaring.

Merry walked over to Luo Chen and sat down with the can of starch in his hand.

"Sir, the messenger said that our support will not be coming?"

Luo Chen took a sip of filtered water: "Yes, when the bugs came, the subspace navigation was affected, and the Ultramarines could not come."

"Then what do we do?"

"For the Emperor, hold your ground. You must trust our navy."

"......yes!"

A messenger ran over in a hurry and was tripped by a bullet chain and fell to the ground. Luo Chen looked at the guard whose face was covered in dust and who had just eaten mud.

"Stand up soldier, by the Emperor, it is not time for you to be buried yet."

"Yes! Captain! We have detected the activity of the insects, and they are coming towards us."

Luo Chen picked up the shortwave communication phone: "Battalion headquarters, battalion headquarters, this is the 9th company, there are bugs preparing to attack our position."

"For the Emperor, Captain, you must hold your ground."

"Yes."

Luo Chen put on his helmet, loaded the batteries for his laser gun, and stood up: "Guards! Get up and prepare for battle, the bugs are coming soon! Let them see the wrath of the Cadians!"

"Cadian stands!"

"Cadian stands!"

Merry looked at the swirling sand and said, "Sir, we won't be attacked from underground, will we? Those bugs love to do that."

"As long as all the Kriegs underground are alive."

"Haha, then we will have to dance with the digging python in the battlefield later. What do you want to dance? The Qi'an dance?"

"You better shut up, Lieutenant."

"Of course, sir."

The earth was shaking, mud and sand were spreading into the trenches, the figures running in the yellow sand were so terrifying, but the Cadians did not waver. Even if thousands of insects rushed out of the yellow sand in the next moment, they would still stand firm.

Thousands of knife bugs and gun bugs rushed out of the yellow sand, running across the plain at a rapid speed and launching a suicide attack on the Star Army's positions.

The flamethrower adjusted the output of promethium: "I'll treat you to roasted bugs tonight! High in protein!"

"Don't disgust me, brother!"

"Fire!"
