Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 338: Clone Awakening Incident

"Amazing."

Koz was truly shocked by this ancient giant ship.

Before being found by the Emperor, all Curze saw was a world called Nostramo, which was messy and dark.

After being found by the Emperor, Curze saw the world outside Nostramo and also saw some ancient things.

But most of those things are small items, or ships inherited and modified by humans to suit the characteristics of this era, or cities that have been transformed so that no traces of the ancient times can be seen.

Coze also knew that Nostramo was once a world that produced precious metals. From the ancient relics he saw during his growing up, he knew that Nostramo once only had a few mining stations, and later cities were also built on the mining stations.

But those are not even a glimpse of the whole picture.

Now that he had seen this ancient creation that even had a natural ecological simulation and a natural climate inside a giant ship, Koz truly realized what the wisdom of the ancients was.

In the interstellar space, we can still luxuriously maintain the life and living environment on the planet.

Just a glimpse of the past gives us a glimpse of how advanced human technology was ten thousand years ago.

"There must be something deeper inside this ship that can surprise us even more."

A gust of wind whistled past again, carrying a hint of salty air into Qin Xia and Koz's lungs.

Qin Xia turned around in the wind, and his snow-white cloak fluttered in the wind.

Koz took a last look at the vast dock and followed Qin Xia to move forward.

Koz still used prophecies to see through every road, and then Qin Xia imprinted the road that Koz had seen through on the wall to guide those who came later.

Soon the end of the passage the two were in was detected.

There was no longer a passage ahead, but a space with no end in sight.

But it is not dark here, because there is something like the sun in the sky that is illuminating the entire space.

The sunlight shone on Curze's body, and the Primarch used his senses that were far superior to those of ordinary people to taste it, and found that this sunlight was no different from the sunlight he felt when he stood by the porthole of the ship when he left the eternal night world of Nostramo.

But that is an artificial sun.

A very small sun, about the same proportions as a person would see when looking at the sun from Earth, rather than a real star hanging high inside a giant ship.

Qin Xia didn't wear a ring that could turn anything into a spaceship, so he used his psychic power to create a translucent platform that continued to extend forward.

The two walked on the platform, moving forward at a faster speed than using a flying vehicle.

Curze lowered his head and looked down.

There is a city in this space.

A clean and tidy city, a steel forest composed of various huge buildings hundreds of meters high.

Lane-like passages made of energy meander and float through the city.

However, the city has lost its maintenance, and some animals have made the city their home. Various ancient creatures that are unknown even to current biologists are distributed in the city.

There are even bird creatures flying over the city.

These animals are obviously part of the ecological environment inside the ship. For some reason, they ran out from where they should be and occupied the city without humans.

Coates also saw a very obvious line that surrounded the city in a circle formed by the lines.

"What are those lines?" Curz asked.

"Marking lines. When the ship arrives at the target location, it will teleport the city to the planet, and then the city will become the basis of the colony. Those marking lines are the boundaries of the new colonial city." Qin Xia said the explanation Brown had given.

Hearing this, Koz just nodded.

Ever since he learned that this giant ship could even simulate seasons and water cycles, Curze had been a little numb, and things like this no longer shocked him.

Apparently, everything you see in this giant ship is normal.

"Not everything here is good." Qin Xia suddenly said, "This ship is an ancient colonization ship. A freak bought it for colonization. We can't find ancient humans in this ship. We can only find the freak who wants to create a clone empire."

Koz suddenly recalled the cabins he had seen in the previous prophecy, cabins filled with densely packed jars, and the same kind of people were inside.

He thought it was an ancient being, or some kind of humanoid creature developed by the ancients.

"This ship is full of sleeping clones, they call themselves Caudicos," Qin Xia said. "Recently, some people have discovered Caudicos that have left the jars and started to move around. I suspect they may wake up on a large scale, so the main purpose of our trip is not to travel and explore in this giant ship, but to eliminate potential threats."

Qin Xia expressed his true intention.

The awakening of Caudillo was something he wanted to resolve in this giant ship, and at the same time change Curze's mind. Even if the cause of Caudillo's awakening was not identified and a solution was not found, his goal would be achieved if he could change Curze through some words.

"It seems that high technology has also brought about a surge in individual influence." Curze said with emotion, "A freak who can only starve to death or be executed as an alien by the Space Marines in this era can buy a colony ship to clone countless himself and establish a clone empire in that era."

"Yes, so we have to be more careful." Qin Xia responded, "It would be great if you could use your prophetic ability to help me find Chief Codico who wants to create a clone empire."

"Okay." Curze nodded, "Assassination is exactly what I'm good at."

……

One and a half months later, Coze's wonderful ship journey lasted.

Qin Xia stood in a narrow corridor similar to the corridor of a battleship, eating the food he had cooked slowly with chopsticks, while looking at the miniature map he had printed on the wall.

Koz stood aside silently.

"We are discovering more and more cabins for storing cloned Caudicos." Qin Xia took a bite of his meal and said as he looked at the densely packed red dots marked on the miniature map.

Each red dot on the map is a chamber for a cloned Kodiko.

The cabin was different from the cabins found on the periphery of the giant ship before. It was abnormally large. The naturally small Codico clones curled up like babies in a square that was one meter high and wide, instead of in a jar.

The large cabins, which were hundreds of meters high, were almost filled with squares one after another. There was no place for normal people to step.

"These Caudricors should be elite Caudricors." Curze said, leaning against the wall of the corridor. "Their deformities are obviously less severe than those in the jars. They are closer to the image of the 'Caudricor Emperor' we saw in places like the control panel."

Qin Xia nodded.

The two could also guess what the situation would be like if the clone empire that Coadico wanted to build was actually built.

That is, the more Caudico there is, the higher its status is. The cloned Caudicos that are even more deformed than Caudicos are even stored on the edge of the ship and in some rough-looking jars. Presumably, those Caudicos soaked in the jars would be used as slaves on the ship if they were found out.

"Keep moving forward." Qin Xia finished eating the food in the lunch box, put the chopsticks back into the box, and continued moving forward.

"Aren't we going to destroy the cabins that hold the Kodikos?" Curze asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

Qin Xia did nothing along the way after discovering the cabins used to hold the Kodikos, as if he treated them as if they did not exist.

"These Caudicos are insignificant." Qin Xia said as he walked, "Once we find Caudico himself, we will pull him out of the life support device and kill him. Then we can study him and create a weapon based on his genes to completely eliminate all Caudicos."

"Caudicos is an ancient man. Can we find defects in his genes?" asked Coates.

"Under normal circumstances it is not possible, but Codico is different. He believes that everything about him was perfect when he was born. He doesn't even want to use prosthetics. If he didn't hold such an idea, with the biotechnology from more than 10,000 years ago, congenital deformities would not be a big deal," said Qin Xia.

Koz nodded, thinking that this freak named Caudico also had a strange way of thinking. Thinking back to all the Caudicos he had seen before, he remembered that he had indeed discovered that they had many genetic diseases.

For example, osteomalacia and spondylitis made their bodies even more deformed. And the closer the Caudric clones were to the outer periphery of the ship, the more deformed they were.

If we can kill Caudico before he wakes up, it shouldn't be a problem to use genetic weapons to eliminate all Caudicos.

"After we kill Kodiko himself, we can continue exploring. Maybe we can find the control method for the chambers where the clones are placed."

"That would be much simpler. Just press a button to sterilize with high temperature."

"..."

Qin Xia was walking forward, and suddenly realized that Koz had not caught up with him, so he stopped and looked back.

Koz's body was shaking violently at this moment, his expression was hideous and painful, and he was gritting his teeth.

Curze entered the prophetic state again, and the first thing he saw was a suit of armor.

This armor is about three meters long and looks very thick. The material used to make this armor does not look like metal, but rather like the shell of some arthropod creature.

Looking through the translucent area of ​​the armor's shell in the center, Koz saw many things like nerve bundles connecting the person wearing the armor.

The person wearing this biological armor is Kodiko.

The perspective gradually zooms out.

From one Caudricor wearing biological armor to a large group of Caudricor wearing biological armor, and finally the perspective is pulled to a higher place.

Curze saw that in a city, Kodecko was standing on the most magnificent building, and beside him were Kodeckos in various costumes.

And Caudico, who called himself Emperor Caudico, sat on the throne, shivering and squinting his eyes as he inspected countless Caudicos wearing biological armor.

From the conversation between the Caudices behind Emperor Caudice, Curze learned the identities of these Caudices.

They do not have individual names, but are given job prefixes depending on their position.

Prime Minister Caudricourt, Marshal Caudricourt, Finance Minister Caudricourt...those wearing biological armor are called Combat Caudricourt.

Countless combat Kodikos lined up in neat rows and marched in unison. The one-piece foot structure of their biological armor, which was similar to a boot, stepped on the ground, making a neat stomping sound.

On both sides of the combat Cowdicos were the Cowdico Drivers, who were driving huge vehicles that looked like tanks but were actually more like living creatures. They were moving forward in the billowing smoke, with the Cowdico Drivers all standing on top of the tanks.

As the view continued to zoom out, Koze realized that the place where Emperor Kodecko reviewed his Kodecko army was not on this giant ship, but on Nuceria.

Koz suddenly woke up and shouted to Qin Xia: "We must leave here! Leave here... and let my brothers prepare for defense... I see that Kodiko will occupy Nukeria... At least we should alert the people outside!"

After hearing Koz's prediction, Qin Xia frowned and took out a sphere, recorded what Koz had just said into it, and the sphere immediately left along the way the two came.

"We have to stay here, kill Emperor Codico, and then prevent the scene you predicted from happening." Qin Xia remained calm.

Koz gradually calmed down from the pain brought by the prophecy: "My prophecy..."

"You want to say that your predictions are bound to come true, right?" Qin Xia slowly opened his right hand towards Koz. "The ancient relic I just threw will pass on the information, and we will stay here to change everything you saw in your predictions. Then we will verify whether all the dark things in your predictions are 100% certain to happen."

"According to the calculations I saw in the prophecy, we can't accomplish anything even if we stay! It's better for us to go back and think of a way to set up defenses." Koz said.

Qin Xia was silent and looked at Koz calmly, holding the gorgeous helmet in one hand and the other hand still stretched out towards Koz.

Curze was silent for two seconds, then asked, "I really don't know where you get the confidence to think we can change anything. I am the Primarch, much more powerful than you. I have tried many times but failed..."

"Because I'm here." Qin Xia said calmly.

"What?" Koz seemed to be laughing out of anger.

"Because I am here, and I want to change the future you see." Qin Xia said, "I have changed your brother's fate, and I can change yours. If you must know why I firmly believe that I can change it, my answer is still 'Because I am here'."

Koz stared at Qin Xia's eyes for a while, then sighed and nodded silently.

Qin Xia turned around and continued forward, saying without looking back: "I have developed a new method of prediction based on your prediction ability. Let's find a quiet place and you can cooperate with me to predict, and we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Curze got a headache when he heard the prophecy, but he acquiesced by keeping silent instead of speaking out in opposition.

Qin Xia turned around to look at Koz and said in a deep voice: "I will also reveal to you the truth about your ability to predict... and provide theoretical support for whether everything in the prophecy that you have been struggling with can change this matter."

"I thought you were just being arrogant, so that's why you said something just now...something like because you're here." Koz frowned.

"You need confidence first, and then an explanation of the source of your confidence." Qin Xia quickened his pace.
