My Desperate Journey in 40k

After the man said this, he did not make any movement. No matter what the man said, the man did not answer him. He looked at the direction the man pointed and could only walk towards that direction helplessly.
As the man was walking, suddenly heavy snow began to fall from the sky. In just ten minutes, the snow covered the man's waist. However, the man did not stop because of the heavy snow. He still struggled to move forward. He had a feeling that the man would not deceive him and there must be something waiting for him ahead.
He didn't know how long he walked, but in the endless cold, the man felt like a wolf again. He subconsciously walked on all fours, but his remaining human rationality prevented him from completely losing his original intention.
In this way, he walked and walked, and after countless days and nights, he walked through snow-capped mountains, ran across ice fields, stepped across the frozen sea, and finally arrived at an island. The island was very small, only more than 100 meters in size. It would be better to say that it was just a stone on the sea than to say that it was an island.
The place was not big, and the man could see the things clearly, one was a huge giant, and the other was a golden spear stuck in the ground.
"You come here, don't ask me questions, you know, you know everything."
The giant looked at the man and spoke directly to him, as if he knew he was going to arrive here.
"I know..., I know..."
The man looked at the giant. The guy he had dealt with appeared in his memory and instantly overlapped with the giant in front of him. The man remembered everything about himself.
He remembered his name, his identity, the purpose of his coming here, why he came here, who the little boy was, who the father was, and who the corpse-like man was.
"You should be dead. I killed you with my own hands, my brother."
The man's eyes suddenly became sharp, he looked at the giant in front of him and spoke to him in a cold tone, his pair of green, wolf-like eyes stared at the giant in front of him, as if guarding against something. He knew that the guy in front of him was a hypocritical person, and everything about him was just a disguise.
"Hahaha, my brother, you see, you know everything. Don't look at me like that. After all, I'm already dead. Pull up the spear handle next to you. You know how to use it."
The giant looked at the man in front of him, and suddenly he burst into laughter. He almost bent over with laughter. After he finally stopped laughing, he pointed to the spear beside him and spoke to the man.
"You are a hypocrite, and this is an evil plot of yours."
The man looked at the giant and spoke to him without making any movement, as if the spear on the ground did not exist at all.
"You know that's false, my brother. We all know that I made an unforgivable mistake and deserved to be punished. Now I have received my father's punishment, which you personally carried out. The kind Robert accepted my offspring, and you did not stop the process, did you? We all know..."
The giant smiled and spoke to the man. He took a few steps closer to the man and came in front of him. He stared into the man's wolf-like eyes and all he did was smile at the man who killed his brother.
"Shut up! You are a traitor! Everything you said was just an excuse for yourself!"
The man spoke to the giant angrily, but the giant was not angry because of the man's bad treatment. He still kept smiling, as if the man in front of him was not the murderer who killed him, but a brother like his flesh and blood.
"Father doesn't give us much time. You must get out of here. The galaxy is suffering from a disaster. Our brothers need your support, you know."
The giant smiled and opened his arms, as if he was a devout pilgrim. Everything was so natural and peaceful.
"Yes I know…"
When the man heard the giant's words, he looked at the spear on the ground and somehow pulled it out. The golden spear head emitted golden light under the light, and he instinctively stabbed the spear into the giant's chest.
The spear head pierced the giant's body, and he laughed wildly, as if he felt no pain at all. A golden light appeared from his wound, and then turned into a gust of wind and snow.
The giant's body disappeared and turned into white snow all over the sky. The snow moved with the hurricane and instantly wrapped the man in it. The snow dissipated in an instant. The man looked at the thin rope on his left hand and the huge axe in his hand, and his green wolf eyes flashed with some sadness.
"I see, I've always known that..."
A confusing sentence came out of the man's mouth, and then he walked to the center of the island. He had understood his own nature, and now he needed to return to the real universe. He had been away for too long, and the wolf pack must have a leader.
"We have arrived at the designated location and are carrying out the incineration mission."
The perspective turns to Kolodo. Huge pillars of light keep falling from the sky, just like the world-destroying judgment in mythology. Countless seas of insects turn into steam under these light pillars, countless uninhabited nests occupied by the Zerg turn into molten iron, mountains and rivers turn into lava, and even Kolodo's ocean full of nuclear radiation is constantly evaporated by the light pillars. The Imperial Navy's orbital strike seems to be killing the world, but its ultimate goal is to protect the world.
Just like the words in the Bible, the religious book of ancient Terra that had long been burned to ashes, the first words the angel said to humans when he appeared next to them for the first time were, "Don't be afraid, child."
Doing cruel things is to protect the majority of people. This is the norm in this desperate universe. For example, the inquisitors of the Inquisition sacrificed tens of billions of humans to protect more humans. They did not have the power to decide the death of innocent people, but they could not put more people behind them in danger.
"The casualty report is out. Five hundred million people were injured by the light spears from the orbital strike. The aftermath is still ongoing, and the medical team is treating the injured."
In the headquarters of the hive city, Wang Ming sat in his office again. The orbital strikes greatly reduced the pressure on the front line, so he had time to sit in the office.
"Well, what's the exact death toll? Why are you here?"
Wang Ming put down the data board he was using to review the supply documents. He raised his head and looked at Li Qinghui, who was holding the documents in front of him, with his golden eyes. Wasn't it Wang Lei who usually delivered the documents to him? Why did Li Qinghui come here instead of staying in the biological laboratory?
"The exact number of deaths is unknown. They can only be temporarily classified as missing. The aftermath of the Light Spear is also very terrifying. Most of them were directly evaporated. It is impossible to count the number of deaths. Among the injured, only more than a hundred people survived by chance at the edge of the Light Spear. The remaining 500 million people... The Light Spear ignited the atmosphere. Various pollutants entered the hives that have not yet been transformed through the atmosphere. And your question, I have nothing to do recently. The Light Spear has completely destroyed the ecology of the planet. No virus can survive in this environment."
Li Qinghui looked at Wang Ming and reported everything to him. As a genetically enhanced human, her memory was also very good.
"All missing persons are defined as dead. If you have nothing else to do, go to the Thirteenth Regiment. They have something that may interest you."
After Wang Ming finished listening to Li Qinghui's report, he picked up the data tablet again to revise the supply documents. In Wang Ming's words, there might be at least one billion deaths, but it seemed like a trivial matter.
"Those humans are at least a billion. So many people died. Do you think it's so easy?"
Li Qinghui looked at Wang Ming and asked him, in her impression, Wang Ming was not a cruel person.
"The population of Koledo is 200 billion, and I need to be responsible for those who survived."
Wang Ming didn't even raise his head. His words silenced Li Qinghui. Li Qinghui nodded silently and then walked out of Wang Ming's office.
361. Chapter 358 Wang Ming figured it out
361.
The man got up from the ground, he looked at the distant beam of light with indifference, he walked and walked until he came to this place, he looked at the distant beam of light, he knew what it was, he also knew where he was, this was a hive world that was being hit by orbit, he looked at the light beam for a while, then went straight to the depths of the hive, he knew where the person he needed to find was.
"Just make sure the battle line is stable. This unit will move here and try to avoid the heat radiation from the light spear attacks..."
Wang Ming continued to command the troops. The lives of hundreds of billions of people weighed on his shoulders. He was already a little tired. This tiredness was caused by a sense of powerlessness, not Wang Ming's physical fatigue. The body of the Primarch would not become tired even if he fought continuously for an entire Terra moon, but his mind was different.
Wang Ming needed to mobilize all kinds of troops. There were at least thousands of mortal auxiliary troops deployed on the surface of the planet. These were the main forces on the front line. There were countless second-line troops and supply troops, and there was also the evacuation and mobilization of civilians.
The good news worth mentioning is that the Chaos Cultists are completely gone. They were completely swallowed up by the sea of Zerg in the war with the Zerg. They also put up some resistance, but when the demons they summoned were torn into pieces by the Overlord, they completely lost any ability to resist.
The Power of Destruction did not cast its gaze on them. They were submerged in the sea of insects, and then turned into steam under the nuclear bombs of the Imperial Forces. Yes, the nuclear strikes never stopped at all, whether it was the previous battle with the cultists or the battle with the Zerg, the strikes of nuclear weapons never stopped for a moment. In fact, the nuclear weapons in the local stockpile had been used up, and the nuclear weapons used now were all from the stockpile of the traversers.
Although the power of nuclear bombs is not enough in this kind of battle, the radiation belts and nuclear winter they create are effective in hindering the Zerg's offensive. Although the Zerg have adapted to it in the later period, thermonuclear fireballs are still a good insect-killing tool.
"Huh? What the hell?"
Suddenly, Wang Ming heard a noisy noise coming from outside the Governor's Mansion. The noise was so loud that even Wang Ming, who was in the Governor's office, could hear it.
Wang Ming frowned. Something happened again. How come it happened so quickly?
"Alas, day after day, there is not a single day of peace of mind."
Wang Ming sighed. He wished he had a brother by his side to share some of the pressure with him, even if it was Russ.
While thinking this, Wang Ming walked out of the Governor's Mansion. He knew that the Emperor would find him a brother to support him, but he didn't know which brother it would be. But now, no matter which brother came, it would be fine.
"Fuck!"
As soon as Wang Ming walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he saw a huge man communicating with several traversers of the Primitive Guards. Wang Ming looked at the man and a space husky appeared in his mind.
That golden hair, those two little braids, and that carefree feeling, isn't that Leman Russ?
"Wolf King..., Your Majesty, I was just speaking casually..."
Wang Ming looked at Leman Russ and said to the Emperor in his heart.
Wang Ming looked at Leman Russ, and Leman Russ also saw Wang Ming. He walked past the time travelers and came directly in front of Wang Ming. He stared at Wang Ming's golden eyes, and Wang Ming also stared at his wolf-like eyes. Both of them stood there in silence.
About two minutes later, Leman Russ suddenly moved. He punched Wang Ming's head at a speed that even the Astartes could not see. Wang Ming also moved. He grabbed Leman Russ's fist and punched Leman Russ in the face with his backhand.
Leman Russ was hit by Wang Ming's punch and his head was raised, while Wang Ming showed a surprised expression.
Wang Ming felt the punch just now. He did not feel it hitting his flesh. It felt like he was hitting an extremely solid piece of ice. This feeling was very strange. At the same time, Wang Ming's hand that hit Leman Russ's head also felt a bone-chilling coldness.
"Hahaha…"
Just when Wang Ming was surprised, Leman Russ suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at Wang Ming with a surprised face, showing his little fangs and laughing.
"My brother, you are still a little worse than Leon."
Leman Russ looked at Wang Ming and spoke to him with a big laugh. His nasty look made Wang Ming want to punch him again.
"Welcome back to the human empire, my brother, I am..."
Wang Ming stared at Leman Russ who was laughing. He originally wanted to express his welcome to his return to the empire and then introduce himself, but he was interrupted by Leman Russ.
"I know. The Primarch of the 21st Legion, Wang Ming, told me."
Leman Russ patted Wang Ming on the shoulder and spoke to him with a smile, looking so carefree, as if an older brother was talking to his younger brother.
"Who? Father?"
Wang Ming looked at the careless Leman Russ and asked him puzzledly. He was very curious, who told Leman Russ about himself?
Leman Russ did not answer Wang Ming's question, he just smiled. Finally, Wang Ming had no choice but to take him into the Governor's Mansion. At the same time, he notified Hu Jin to bring over the space huskies that were fighting with the Zerg.
"My brother, don't you have anything to drink? I haven't had anything to drink for a long time."
As soon as Leman Russ entered Wang Ming's office, he drank a bottle of Amasaic that was previously collected by the planetary governor. He threw away the bottle and spoke to Wang Ming in a casual tone.
"Bring me some barrels of mead."
Wang Ming looked at the carefree Leman Russ. For some reason, Wang Ming felt relaxed in his heart when he looked at this self-assured and outgoing man.
Mead and wolf cubs were soon brought, and when the wolf cubs saw Leman Russ, they all cheered like a group of huskies. They were all Astartes who were drinking from Fenris during the Great Crusade. They had been very disappointed with the disappearance of the Wolf King, but now that the Wolf King had returned to the Empire, these wolf cubs instantly felt like they had become stronger.
"Here's to your return, my brother."
Wang Ming held a huge wine glass and said to Leman Russ that he had temporarily handed over the matter to Captain Jiang Tao and Wang Xiaofa. Wang Ming still had great confidence in the abilities of these two people.
"Hahaha, toast to you too, brother."
Leman Russ looked at Wang Ming who raised his glass. He smiled carelessly, then drank the mead in the glass in one gulp. He took another sip of authentic Fenris mead, which made Leman Russ very enjoyable. It was as if he was a person who had not drunk water for ten thousand years and finally had a sip of water.
"So, my brother, did the Father give you the solution to this world's problems? He said you would help me."
Wang Ming also took a sip of mead. He was not as heroic as Leman Russ, who drank the entire glass. Instead, he only drank half of it. Compared to drinking with this guy, he was more concerned about how to deal with the problems in this world.
"Haven't you already taken care of it?"
Leman Russ poured himself another glass of wine and asked Wang Ming in confusion, "Hasn't he solved the situation in this world? He could see the beam of light from the orbital strike clearly."
"But...but that's not the best solution."
Wang Ming looked at Leman Russ. He saw the confusion in his eyes and remembered that Leman Russ must have seen the orbital strike on the way here. He understood what was going on and said to Leman Russ helplessly.
For Wang Ming, a war involving attrition of civilians through orbital strikes was far from being solved.
"So what do you hope for? War cannot be without death, my brother. Advancing in the wind and snow cannot be without cost. Although you are not a Fenrisian, you should know this truth."
The wolf king drank the mead again in one gulp. He looked into Wang Ming's golden eyes and spoke nonchalantly, as if everything in the war was insignificant.
"I..., you are right..."
