The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

The psychological shock made Luochen feel a little dizzy. He also realized that this was not the Warhammer 40k game he had played before. This was reality, the real Warhammer 40k universe.

The same situation happened to Awei. The area he was cleaning was the lower deck. Because of the weight of his equipment, Awei chose a path that the pirates had to pass through and waited there. When all the pirates entered the area where he was, Gloria would open the hatch for him and attack the pirates' backs.

The result was that the firepower from Awei directly blew all the pirates on his level to pieces. The scene was several times more tragic than that of Apu. Awei almost couldn't stand still. Until Gloria called him, his head was still in a dizzy state.

In order to divert his attention, Wei asked Gloria:

"How are things going with Lao Pu and Luo Chen?"

"They are cleaning up the remaining pirates who escaped. They will be done soon. You are the fastest among you."

Ah Wei's combined firepower completely covered all targets within the range of fire. The pirates had no time to escape and were torn to pieces without even having to use the conversion beam and cyclone missile launcher.

"Where are Xianyu and the others?"

"We're clearing out the resistance on the enemy ship. We'll capture it in about ten minutes. Do we need to teleport back to the weapons depot?"

"Take me back, I want to rest."

Awei returned to the armory, took off his equipment, and returned to his room to slowly calm himself down.

----

Gloria's transmission was quite stable. Ou Ge felt that he had arrived inside the enemy warship in the blink of an eye. Gloria told him that his current location was the middle deck of the enemy ship, and several armed units were approaching his position.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to come to my door on your own initiative."

Brother Ou walked towards the location indicated by the auspicious instrument. He took out the heavy bolter pistol. Several units did not need heavy bolters yet. Soon Brother Ou met the pirates. Seeing the sudden appearance of the steel giant, the pirates were scared and stood there. They didn't even have time to react before their heads were blown off by the heavy bolter pistol.

Looking at the head exploding like a watermelon in front of him, Brother Ou was as shocked as the three people on the boat. He almost dropped the bolt gun in his hand, but Brother Ou's position did not allow him to be dazed. The pirates were attracted by the sound of the bolt gun.

"Do you need me to help you block out your emotions temporarily?"

"want!"

Brother Ou made his choice immediately. His current mentality is likely to affect him in the next battle, so he needs Gloria's help and wait until the battle is over before slowly savoring his current feelings.

The pirates' footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Brother Ou raised the heavy grenade launcher with a cold expression.

On the lower deck, Er Yu cut the pirate in front of him in half from head to tail with one sword. The pirate who wanted to escape was shot into pieces by the storm bolter. Compared with his companions, Er Yu's inner fluctuations were much smaller, because he knew that this was the only way in this world.

Er Yu didn't understand the Warhammer 40k universe, but StarCraft 2 and other oral accounts made him understand that this was a hopeless world. Even the worst place on Earth was not even a bit as good as this world. To survive in this rotten world, one must adapt.

You can't survive without fighting!

Er Yu was not unaffected. Killing someone with his own hands was something he had never done before, and the disgusting scene made him feel a little nauseous. However, he was able to quickly put these effects behind him. People's kindness should not be used on these pirates.

Eryu raised his head. Astarte's superhuman hearing and the help of his helmet allowed him to detect the gunshots coming from above. He didn't know whether it was Xianyu or Ou Ge.

"Don't I have many enemies here?"

There are very few red dots on the divination instrument. If the enemy is just like this, Naryu doesn't even need to use the saber.

"There are far fewer enemies on the lower deck than in other places, and pirates don't usually come here." Gloria told Eryu.

"That would be boring."

Er Yu put the saber back to his waist and used only the storm bolter to clear the few enemies on the lower deck. After eliminating all the pirates here, Er Yu found that the divination instrument detected a large number of non-threatening targets, and the dense light spots were simply countless.

Puzzled, Er Yu approached the location of these light spots. He opened a hatch and saw the true appearance of these targets.

It’s people, a lot of people.

As the hatch opened, a group of thin, pale and half-naked people appeared in front of Eryu. Regardless of gender, age or status, they were all staying in this suffocating space like livestock. These people were all slaves on this ship.

Most of these slaves were looted by pirates from other ships. On this pirate ship, the slaves were just consumables for the pirates. Those who dared to resist would be killed, and the rest could only survive on the lower deck where there was no sunlight until they died.

This scene had a far greater impact on Eryu than killing the pirates. He looked at these slaves and didn't know what to do.

"Angel……?"

The slaves also saw Er Yu standing in front of the cabin door. In their eyes, that noble figure and sacred armor were exactly the legendary angel of the Emperor.

"It's an angel! The angel has come to save us!"

The slaves rushed towards Er Yu frantically, one after another. Even if someone fell, the people behind would trample on his body and continue to move forward. As long as the trampled person was not dead, he would crawl forward even if his limbs were broken. They had no hostility and just wanted to reach the angel.

Er Yu was frightened by this sudden situation. When he came to his senses, he was surrounded by circles of people. The slaves were kneeling, praying, and praising... Some of them even reached out to touch and kiss Er Yu's Terminator Armor, trying to use these actions to pray for the angel's glory.

In the past, the admiration and praise of others would make Eryu feel proud and proud, which is human nature.

But facing these slave laborers, Eryu only felt pity and disgust. The slave laborers' expressions distorted by hope and faith only made Eryu feel extremely uncomfortable.

Eryu wanted to get away, but he didn't know how. In the end, he could only calm down these slaves.

"Quiet!"

Eryu's voice was almost like a scolding, but to these slaves, the angel's voice was so pleasant to the ears. Obeying the angel's will, the slaves quieted down in just a few seconds.

"Get out of the way now, I have things to do." Er Yu didn't want to be worshipped by these slaves, he just wanted to leave here quickly.

"Will the angels come back to save us?"

A childish voice came into Eryu's ears. He looked over and saw a thin child with a stained face. It was hard to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

Er Yu felt as if his throat was stuck with something, making him unable to speak. After swallowing several times, Er Yu answered the child:

"I will."

The slaves neatly made way for Eryu. Eryu felt the gazes filled with various emotions and left the area without looking back.

Chapter 8 The Blood Angels' Miraculous Switch

"What's going on? Why can't we contact the boarding team?!"

Vincent roared and asked the liaison officer beside him. In a short period of time, the Eyeless Winged Serpent lost contact with all boarding teams and received no response no matter how it called.

"Tell me what's going on, liaison, or you'll be space junk!"

"Captain... Captain, it seems that our communication with the boarding team has been... cut off." The liaison officer stated the reason in a trembling voice.

"Cut off? How is that possible! It's just a merchant ship. Who has the ability to..."

An urgent communication from inside the ship interrupted Vincent's roar:

"Captain! We've been invaded by the enemy! Someone on board has died!"

Vincent couldn't believe the news at all. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could there be enemies on our ship!"

"It's true! Captain, a brother died! He died tragically!"

There was panic in the pirate's voice when communicating with Vincent, and the horrific death scene lingered in his mind.

"Who is the enemy?" Vincent asked.

"We are searching, please..., what... what is that? No, it's impossible, how could it be, ah... ah ah ah——"

A deafening scream was heard from the communicator. The fear contained in the sound infected the hearts of everyone on the bridge. Soon the scream was drowned out by the explosive sound of gunfire, and the communication was interrupted at this time.

The entire command deck fell into an eerie silence. What kind of enemy could make the pirates, who lived on the tip of their swords, let out such a terrified cry? Vincent didn't know, and no one present knew either.

"Hurry! The combatants on the ship, hurry to the place where the communication was sent! I want to know what kind of enemy it is!" Vincent, who had recovered, gave orders with cold sweat, asking all the combatants on the ship to go to support, and even sent the guards on the command deck over.

After giving the order, Vincent sat back in his seat, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the sound of an exchange of gunfire was heard outside the bridge. The gunshots that sounded like explosions were exactly the same as those in the communication.

"How could it be so fast?" Vincent said in horror. How could the enemy who was just on the middle deck reach the command deck so quickly?

Soon the gunfire outside stopped, and the people inside stared at the hatch leading to the outside. They hoped so much that the guards had killed the enemy, but when heavy footsteps sounded, their hopes were shattered.

What kind of enemy is outside?

Vincent drew the laser pistol from his waist. He ordered the protective doors outside the hatch to be lowered and both doors to be locked, and asked the fighters to rush back for support immediately.

Everyone inside took out their weapons and was on high alert, hoping to seize the initiative when the enemy appeared.

The heavy footsteps stopped outside and did not sound again for a long time, which made Vincent wonder if the enemy had no means to break through the defense?

If that's the case, just wait until support arrives and everything will be fine.

Boom! This was the sound of the protective door being blown open.

Click——

A huge claw flashing with lightning pierced through and tore through the hatch, tearing Vincent's fantasy into pieces.

The hatch collapsed, and Vincent finally saw the identity of his enemy.

"Astarte?" Vincent could never have imagined that the enemy he was facing was an angel of the Emperor.

Is that the ship?

Vincent understood, understood everything. If he had known it earlier, he would not have touched the ship even if he was lost in the warp, but now it was too late.

What else could he do? Perhaps he could kneel before the Lord Astartes and say with the most sincere words:

Hey, can we reconcile?

If this could earn him the angel's forgiveness, Vincent would definitely do it, but this was just a delusion before his death.

Death did not come immediately. Vincent saw that the Astartes lowered his head and did not take any action after entering the bridge, but even so, none of them dared to act rashly.

Is this Lord Astartes waiting for me to express my opinion?

Vincent thought about it and felt a glimmer of hope in his heart again. This might be a chance given to him by Astarte. Otherwise, why would he wait? As long as the other party wanted, everyone in Cambridge would have been slaughtered just now.

Vincent slowly approached Astarte and greeted him with the most flattering and respectful tone of his life:

"Sir?"

Astarte raised his head, and the scarlet eyepiece reflected Vincent's figure, which made Vincent happy and thought that there was still hope.

Vincent immediately knelt on the ground and began to confess his stupidity, begging Astarte for forgiveness with sincere words. He was willing to give up everything he had to become the angel's most loyal servant until his death.

Facing Vincent's string of words, Astarte only slowly uttered a name—

“Horus!!!”

----

The explosive bomb stopped the pirate's desperate cry, and Apu put down the explosive pistol. This was the last pirate on this floor. In this ship that Apu and his crew could teleport at will, no matter how the pirates escaped and hid, they could not escape the pursuit of death in the end.

"Ahh, it's over."

Apu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, he gradually got used to killing in the process of chasing pirates.

"Thank you for your hard work. All the pirates on the ship have been cleared."

"Are Luochen and Awei done too?" asked Apu. By this calculation, he was still the slowest one.

"Well, Luochen has returned to the bridge, and Awei is resting in the room."

"Then send me to the bridge as well."

In the blink of an eye, Apu returned to the bridge. He saw Luochen sitting in a daze. It seemed that everyone was feeling uncomfortable.

"How do you feel, Luochen?" Apu came to Luochen.

"What do you think? Do you want me to say that killing feels great?" Luo Chen retorted to Apu.

"If you really say that, then I'm going to suspect that you're possessed by Old K."

"What about you?" Luo Chen asked.

"Of course it's not pleasant. After all, it wouldn't be pleasant for an ordinary person to suddenly experience this."

After that, the two of them stayed quietly in Cambridge until Gloria came to remind them.

"The enemy ships have been cleared. Do you need to pick up your companions?"

Apu: "How do we get there? Teleport?"

"We can go there by vehicle."

Luochen: "Okay, I'm free anyway."

A Pu: "Then should we invite Wei as well?"

The two contacted Wei, who told them he wanted to be alone for a while.

"Awei was the first one to finish cleaning up." Gloria said to the two of them.

Apu and Luochen also understood Awei, and could imagine what the scene would be like when Awei poured the firepower of his equipment on the pirates.

"Then it's just the two of us."

Apu and Luochen first changed into their original power armor, and then they were teleported to the vehicle deck. Here, as they expected, they visited various vehicles in their memories.
