Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom
Chapter 3: Things Are Not Going Well
Matthias's experience gave Xiao Yi a new option: instead of going to great lengths to find the bottom hive gate in the B-59 database that might not even be able to be activated, he could simply follow the five-person team in front of him back the way they came.
It's unclear whether the garrison responsible for guarding a particular area would allow a stranger to enter the lower hive they are protecting.
"Do you have any way to leave the hive city?"
"Um?"
Matthias's question slightly surprised Xiao Yi, who was pondering how to bluff his way out of the situation. Since it wasn't a secret that couldn't be known, he didn't choose to hide it.
"The database of this damaged robot on my chest contains information about a gate that connects the lower nest to the lower nest. If I hadn't met you, I might have followed its guidance to find this gate."
"In that case, let's set off!"
"Wait, can't we just go back the way we came, back from where you entered the bottom nest?"
Matthias gave a wry smile upon hearing this.
"After the purification team entered the Lower Nest, the mutants launched a frenzied attack without regard for the cost. The battle was so intense, and since they had no intention of returning alive, we quickly lost contact with the Nest City garrison guarding the passage. When we realized something was wrong and returned to the entrance, they had closed the passage for some unknown reason, completely severing the connection between the Lower Nest and the Lower Nest."
"We tried to contact them, but there was no response. In the end, we had no choice but to keep moving in this direction based on the prophecy of the psionicists. Perhaps the key to leaving the bottom nest mentioned in the prophecy is you."
As he spoke, Matthias looked at the most unusual person in the group, the girl with shackles. She had been hiding in a dark corner, seemingly avoiding something terrifying.
"A psionicist? No wonder her soul aura is much brighter than the others."
"What's your name?"
As soon as the question was asked, Xiao Yi saw the other person's body tremble.
"She seems afraid of herself. Is she still terrified by the bloody scene just now?"
Seeing that the other party did not answer him, Xiao Yi repeated the question he had just asked.
"Arya Fitzgerald, lived with her parents at Room 1304, Area D-4, Upper Nest, or at least she used to be."
The girl's voice sounded somewhat melancholy, as if she was recalling some unpleasant memories.
Xiao Yi can see other people's soul orbs through his spiritual abilities, thereby determining their species and basic information. Other spiritual beings can naturally see his soul orb in the same way.
In Aria's eyes, the creature before her was not human at all, but a monster dressed in human clothing. The light it emitted was so intense that she could not look directly at it. She regretted believing the prophecy and bringing her companions to this place.
To distance herself from the monster, after answering her name, Arya took a few steps back, seemingly hiding herself in the darkness.
But all of this was in vain. Xiao Yi did not delve into her somewhat unusual behavior. There would be plenty of time to learn about her past experiences. His primary task now was to lead the others away from this battlefield that was about to turn into a carnival feast.
Many hungry creatures have already started rushing here after smelling the blood; if they stay here, another bloody battle is inevitable.
After briefly explaining what might happen next to Mattia, the group packed their things and headed towards the location recorded in the B-59 database. Fortunately, they ran in time and nothing unexpected happened.
In order to gain a more detailed understanding of this world, Xiao Yi actively sought out topics to talk about with others along the way.
This frantic attempt to extract information solidified Matthias's suspicions. However, since he needed the other party's help to save Bakda's Nest, he didn't say anything and simply told them everything that wasn't classified.
Matthias was unaware that the man he had identified as an agent had quietly shattered after learning about the history and current state of Bakda's hive.
The Emperor's Word, The War of Unification, The Emperor and His Nine Sons, Holy Terra, Robert Guilliman, Lord of Altera...
These words seem insignificant on their own, but when put together, something doesn't quite add up.
So it turns out I've been transported to Warhammer 40K, a cesspool that everyone who gets involved with it suffers. Could the five evil gods B-59 mentioned earlier be...?
The crisp sound of a slap drew the attention of the others who were on their way to Xiao Yi.
"What's wrong?"
"There was something on my face just now, it's nothing."
"Oh, be careful, the terrifying creatures of the bottom nest are not just those powerful predators."
Silence fell again. Xiao Yi took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind of any forbidden knowledge about the subspace evil god.
In the world of Warhammer 40, the happiest human group in the Empire is probably the Oglins. These intelligent people, who can't even count properly, can hardly understand what it means to feel despair about the future.
In addition, from the High Lord of Terra to the slaves on the production line, everyone has their own excrement to eat. This dark and desperate world treats everyone equally.
Oh no, it doesn't just target humans; sometimes it even targets gods.
A guy like Xiao Yi, whose mind is full of forbidden knowledge, might one day be captured by those four bored guys in the subspace and played with like a toy.
Thinking about it this way, becoming a tool of the emperor doesn't seem so unacceptable; at least one's soul can rest in peace after death.
"What if, what if all of this is just a coincidence?" Xiao Yi tried to numb himself temporarily, unwilling to believe reality, but he knew very well that running away would not solve any problems.
For some reason, Xiao Yi recalled the moment he first arrived in this world. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a nearly broken robot repeatedly saying, "Your sole purpose is to save humanity."
Xiao Yi wasn't sure if he could take down the four guys in the warp and make the Empire great again, but since he was here, he couldn't just sit idly by. Leaving the Underhive and helping Matthias and the others to quell the mutant uprising was his top priority.
As for other things, let's take it slow.
"May the Emperor protect me." The prayer made in search of psychological comfort seemed to have been answered, and a few faint golden rays appeared on Xiao Yi's soul light, which was as dazzling as a high-powered searchlight.
All of this was observed by Aria, who was hiding in a corner and watching him silently.
