Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 7 Complete Dress Up
At this time, Pavian has completely regarded Gao Yi as the incarnation of the Om Messiah, and now he is doing his utmost to carry out Gao Yi's orders.

24 hours passed.

A total of 100 sets of CMC combat uniforms and weapons for the Marines have been transported off the production line and piled aside.

Unfortunately, the amount of metal that can be used directly on the upper deck is still limited. If we want to continue to expand production capacity, we may have to remove the railings and peel off the walls.

However, Pavian had already been doing this work before Gao Yi even mentioned it.

What's the point of keeping these extra metal objects? Entering the sacred stc is their best destination!

In addition to these most basic CMCs, Gao Yi also produced 30 sets of Fire Bat equipment and two sets of medical equipment.
Compared to the light combat suit used by CMC-400 Marines, the Firebat wears the CMC-660 heavy combat suit. At the expense of mobility, it has thicker armor and better heat resistance, and the plasma fuel tank carried on its back can provide energy for the Firebat's weapon, the Flame of Destruction, a dual-wielded flamethrower.

It seems that what is sprayed out is fire, but this flamethrower is indeed an energy weapon. The energy flame produced by the high-energy plasma is even more terrifying than the flamethrower in the Warhammer world that uses promethium as fuel.

Gao Yi did not produce the Plunderer due to time constraints. He did not think that this single-unit heavy armor-piercing equipment could be used now. It was a waste of time. The power of C-14 was enough to face the current enemy.

Gao Yi contacted Weir and others who were still fighting on the ground through the sound array.

After 24 hours of continuous fighting, the machine gunners had already run out of ammunition and began to fight with the alloy bayonets on their guns and other weapons in the hands of the crew.

"Vir, the servitors are bringing down equipment. Select the most elite warriors to replace their equipment. Damon and his soldiers will serve as your instructors! It's time for a counterattack!"

After hearing Gao Yi's words, Weil's spirits lifted. Although he didn't know what equipment Gao Yi was talking about, he seemed to be slowly getting used to Gao Yi constantly bringing miracles.

But when one set of combat uniforms after another was transported to the lower deck, Will couldn't help rubbing his eyes to confirm whether what he saw was real.

"Is there really such a production workshop on the battleship? Didn't I just come down here 24 hours ago, and the battleship can already produce this kind of thing?"

Will stood there in a daze, while Damon and others began to replenish their ammunition.

Without ammunition, combat uniforms alone are not enough for them to crush the enemy.

If it weren't for the presence of the medics, they would have suffered casualties.

"Will, get your men over here. I'll teach them how to wear them and how to use them. Damn, the guys charging up seem to be getting stronger and stronger, and their physical mutations are visibly accelerating. Commander, we need to put an end to this riot quickly!"

Soon the selected soldiers stood in front of these combat uniforms.

These crew members have been jealous for a long time. Under normal circumstances, ordinary crew members like them are not qualified to wear equipment similar to force feedback armor.

Under Damon's guidance, one crew member put on the CMC and picked up the C-14.

"The combat uniform has various auxiliary functions. You can try them out according to the instructions first. The most important thing is to familiarize yourself with the weapons in your hands! Spike bombs, implosion bombs, depleted uranium bombs, sawtooth bombs, incendiary bombs, each type of ammunition has its own use. Just follow the instructions when the time comes!"
The intelligence system on the mask and the visual and auditory compensation system will allow you to fully hear my orders and know the status of your comrades. Those wearing Firebats, pay attention to the energy tanks on your backs. If these things explode, no one can save you. Most importantly, be careful not to spray at your comrades. Everyone, listen up! If an idiot wearing a Firebat turns the flames on you, you will kill him! I don't need such trash in my team! Those two guys in the medic combat uniforms! Keep a close eye on your comrades, and stop touching the chest armor. It's originally for women!"

Amid Damon's angry curses, everyone quickly completed the change of clothes. Although they were not very familiar with it, they were able to master it. It only took one or two actual battles to be able to use it proficiently. After all, the operation of this thing was almost fool-proof. Even people whose brains were damaged by stimulants could use the early models of combat suits.

"Damon! The law enforcers here are familiar with the situation on the lower deck. They are usually responsible for managing the people down there! With them leading the way, you will definitely be able to resolve this riot and find the source!"

Weir did not change his equipment. He still needed to stay here and be responsible for the overall coordination work. Gao Yi told him that new equipment would be delivered, and he would have to personally select and deploy personnel.

Because of the emergence of the Warp Corruption, Yunus, a psychic, also came to the lower deck.

"Damon, I see the power of the evil god growing stronger within the lower decks. You must destroy the source. It's at the very bottom of this battleship, a terrifying existence being nurtured. You must hurry... or else a powerful demon will tear through the Geller Field and reach the interior of the battleship. It will be a disaster... I can hear it more and more clearly: the demon's wild laughter. The Warp is encroaching on this battleship, corrupting the Empire's faithful believers. Green threads fill the lower decks, but I also see golden and blood-red light. There are still warriors loyal to the God-Emperor down there."

Damon didn't understand exactly what Eunice said, but he knew that there was a powerful enemy waiting for them below. Only these humans from the Warhammer world seemed extremely nervous after hearing Eunice's words.

"I'm counting on you, Damon! Once you break in, the priests will purify the passage you've cleared, and the support troops will follow soon!"

Damon nodded to Will and spoke to everyone who had changed their clothes.

"Firebat is in the lead! The rest of you, protect the medic! Let's go!"

The soldiers who had changed their uniforms launched a counterattack.

The three-defense equipment of the CMC battleship effectively isolated the plague in the air, but as they went deeper, many fungi that were constantly spewing spores began to grow on the walls and buildings inside the battleship.

The imperial warriors wearing fire bats knew how terrible these things were, and they used the flamethrowers in their hands without hesitation to burn all the fungi visible to the naked eye.

Damon also began to learn various information about the Warp through conversations with these Imperial soldiers.

As the fungus was burned, the flames began to illuminate the dim lower deck. While the flames purified the virus, they also dispelled the influence of the subspace. Flames often have miraculous effects in fighting against subspace creatures, and the concentration of viruses in the surrounding area was obviously decreasing.

The area that should have been filled with a large number of workers was now deserted. Instead, a large number of huge rats were crawling around everywhere.

However, as the team advanced, the tactical flashlights on the CMC seemed to activate the entire area. People covered with pustules and sores walked out of the surrounding buildings. Their eyes had long lost their human spirit, and in severe cases, keratinous spikes even grew on their bodies.

"Zombies. They are zombies. I've seen these guys before."

A soldier's voice came over the comms.

"Whatever they are, kill them! Free fire!"
