Chapter 527 The Rise of the Lion King: No More, No Less
It was completely dark in the Xiachao Factory. Only the dim silhouette of the lights came from behind its glass windows. The machinery of the factory, the myriad machines created by the Mechanicus, fell into silence, but judging from the rust on the door, , it has not been reused for some time.
The Cult of Mechanicus has forgotten their assets, just like the entire Lower Nest, the Human Empire will forget many things, factories, machinery, tunnels and even the entire world. It has to be said that the Empire is quite wasteful most of the time.
But these high-quality assets will not be completely forgotten. Some people will remember them and come here to keep them company after their owners leave. In the next nest, they are usually two types of people, mutants or cultists, and the other , it’s a gang.
Vito leaned against the wall, clasping his hands and looking at the abandoned factory in the distance. Gang members were moving around here. There were guards and simple roadblocks at the gate, and Terra's gang looked bigger than most nests. All the gangs have money, and they even have a sentry cannon mounted on the door.
On the high walls and behind the glass windows, there were no figures flashing with the firelight. Noisy shouts came from behind the walls, low, but enough to let people know that there were many people in the factory.
"It does seem to be here." "The human brain can't lie, especially when the memory is being read."
Omega said and appeared next to Vito. He put on the new clothes. The mechanical arm behind him retracted from the darkness in the alley and crawled on the ground. The sparks illuminated the darkness leaning against the box. The figure in the middle had empty eyes and was sitting there drooling. He looked like he was not very clear-headed.
Vito glanced at him and showed a faint smile, "It seems that you don't need me to remind you to shut up." "Shut up? Oh, no, that's just an accident during the brain scan. There is a 60% chance that it will happen. As a result, the cerebral cortex was burned, but if you want to silence, then I think I just did it. "
"Very good, now let's go get the person out." Vito said and stood up, flexing his wrists, fingers and limbs. Omega looked at him, with a gleam in his mechanical eyes, "I must remind you, that person , I think his name is not important to you. His memory shows that there is a sewer underground that can lead to the factory holding area. They use that to discard the bodies. "
"That's too troublesome, and I don't want to go into the sewer. I'm in a hurry." Vito said and walked out of the box. Omega watched him walk straight to the factory door. The guard at the door naturally noticed him immediately and immediately took him. The gun in his hand was pointed at Vito.
But as soon as they yelled something full of curses, they all flew up, and then suddenly hit the door behind them. The sentry cannon above immediately detected the attack and immediately turned the muzzle to aim at Vito. , the infrared red dot hit his forehead.
Omega saw from a distance behind him that the automatic cannon fired a shot, and the rapid-fire shells roared out of the cannon and were aimed at Vito standing in front of the door. But suddenly, the space around him became distorted, as if in Circles of whirlpools appeared in reality, and after being caught by the cannonballs, they were thrown towards the factory gate.
The door was blown open in an instant, and a crack was torn in the center of the heavy iron door. The automatic cannon above, just when it was about to continue firing and beat the people below into scum, it itself became scum. .
The body of the automatic cannon was squeezed inward and deformed. The metal on the surface roared. The barrel broke and turned into scrap metal. The huge cannon fell from the base and smashed in front of the door. It splashed with sparks and illuminated the space. Turn your head back.
"Are you coming or not?" he shouted in the distance. Omega's mechanical eyes looked at the factory door and the burning turret and made an extremely rare shrug action of a mechanical priest, and then unfolded countless lines behind him. The armed robotic arm followed.
——
"Outside, what, Kuosuha?" asked the fat gang leader sitting on the large throne. His body is very large, not only because of his obesity, but also because of the numerous mechanical equipment, plug-in equipment and pipelines installed on his body. Make him look more like a machine with flesh.
The boss used the mechanical eye on his fat face to look towards the corridor door. There, there were constant gunshots, curses, and more screams. The light of gunfire continued to shine everywhere, and the sound of gunfire and footsteps The sound kept coming closer.
In the round hall of the factory, the gang members around the throne raised their weapons and clenched their weapons. They looked at the exit of the spiral staircase. The boss held up the armrest of the throne and looked there, with his servitors standing behind him. On the side, the empty eyeballs looked at the end of the spiral staircase, and suddenly raised their hands and shouted.
Because from the exit, two corpses flew out and hit the floor of the hall. Everyone looked at the two unlucky guys with smoke coming from their chests on the ground. Then when they heard the footsteps coming down, they all suddenly raised their heads. The muzzle of the gun was pointed forward.
The boss looked at the door of the stairs. A man came out from somewhere. In his hand was a bolter with a smoking muzzle. His silver iron-nailed boots clanked on the floor, and he rolled down behind him. He picked up two corpses, and they rolled down from his side and landed on the ground in front of the throne.
Dozens of guns were pointed at him, but he stood calmly at the lower end of the stairs. A man in a coat walked down the stairs behind him. It was not difficult to tell that he was a member of the Mechanicus. There were countless mechanical arms stretching out behind him. came out, each holding a gun.
"Su, Nictuha, Favero?" The bloated boss sitting on the throne raised his short, abnormally deformed hand and spoke. The servitor beside him immediately translated, "The great Jabba asked, you What’s the purpose of coming here? Why, to kill four of his men?”
"I only killed four, you should be grateful for my kindness. I came here to ask for someone." He said and walked to the throne, passing by the surrounding gang members calmly, the muzzle of the gun following him. But he remained calm, as if the muzzles didn't exist.
"Joel, Dalatin?" The fat boss who couldn't speak Gothic continued to ask. The huge eyes on his face blinked and he looked at Vito below, while his servitor interpreter quickly explained.
"Your name, the great Jabba asks you." "Vito Constantine." "Kadaya, Tiluk, Fam." "Your name is the same as the Supreme Marshal, but I guess you are not him. , he won’t come here for a shameful thief.”
The strange humanoid creature named Jabba continued to speak, and his language could only be converted into Gothic that Vito could understand through the servitor behind him, "The great Jabba knows who you are looking for, what you are looking for Man, Daldin, scoundrel, rat, he stole my goods, but I caught him in the process."
Jabba said, swinging his stubby arms in front of him, while the servitor behind him sat in the same movement, swinging his stiff arms in front of him, "Great Jabba, refuse your possible proposal, he will not hand him over. To you, and to those who appointed you, you have no sincerity.”
"I'm still trying to negotiate with you, you should be grateful to me." Vito said in a disdainful tone, looking at Jabba as if he were looking at a fat caterpillar, or even an even lower existence.
Jabba was irritated at that look. He stood up from his large throne, raised his hands and waved them in front of him, "You think you can convince Jabba? You made a mistake, mercenary boy, you shouldn't Threat, Jabba the Great."
The fat guy said, and the surrounding gang members all raised their weapons. They aimed at Vito and Omega behind him from all directions. Jabba sat on the throne, patting his belly with happy palms, "Korsu !”
"You made a mistake, mutant, you thought I was just a mercenary?" Vito said, raising a hand, and the triggers in the hands of the gang members around him who were aiming at him could no longer be pressed, as if there was a An invisible hand held the trigger ring tightly, and Vito looked at Jabba on the throne.
"You regard the light of the nest as the sun in the sky. You know nothing about power, Omega." After Vito said this, he suddenly pushed up with his palm, and all the guns in the hands of the surrounding gang members flew away. They stood up and hit the ceiling. They looked at the gun above in surprise. When they lowered their heads, they saw Omega's mechanical arms extending around and the muzzle of the gun above.
Omega pulled the trigger, and the gunshots exploded instantly. A dazzling fire suddenly lit up the entire room. Under the bright light, each head bloomed, and blood spilled all around under the reflection of the flames. There was not even a scream on the wall, and within a second, dozens of corpses fell to the ground.
Jabba was shocked. He leaned on the throne and clasped his short hands in front of him. He stared at Vito with wide eyes. As he opened his mouth, the multiple layers of fat on his chin began to shake again.
"Your words are very convincing, Mr. Vito Constantine. It's hard for people not to accept your suggestion. Please step forward." Jabba said, his stubby forearm touched the button on the armrest of the throne. , he looked at Vito who was walking over, but he stopped a few steps in front of the throne.
He glanced at the floor on the ground, and with a slight flick of his finger, the seemingly complete floor suddenly opened downward a little, and a huge beast's howl came from below the gap. He raised his head with a teasing smile. Looking at Jabba, he released his fingers, and the floor closed again.
"Ah, your powers of observation are extraordinary, Tuluha." "Impressive, sir." The servitor added promptly, his stiff arms making famous gestures in front of his face, and his head turning left and right, "The great Jabba is willing Accept your suggestion as a sign of good faith."
The mutant said and gestured to the side. Soon, a handcuffed man appeared on the side of the hall. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He looked like he had been beaten badly. The jailor who escorted him took him to Vito. , he looked at this unfortunate guy with a bruised nose and swollen face and raised his head majestically.
"Mr. Dalatin?" "Yes, I think you are, Mr. Vito." He breathed out breathlessly and said vaguely. Vito looked at him and nodded, then looked at Jabba, Behind him, the jailer appeared, and more and better-equipped men appeared around the throne.
They all carried real military-grade weapons and wore the armor of the Astra Militarum. There was also a psyker among them. Vito looked at the psyker in the dirty navigator robes. He had a mask on his face. The eyepatch, with several implants inserted into the bare head, penetrates deep into the skull and releases lightning between them.
"You have got him. Now, I think our deal is over. Mr. Vito, the great Jabba thinks it is time for you to leave." The servitor said, swinging his stiff arms up and down, and the guards beside him They all tightened their grip on the trigger, frowned and stared at Vito.
The latter glanced at them, then looked at Jabba with a smile, "There is one more thing, the last one." "What is it?" asked the great Jabba. "You are a mutant, and the boss of a criminal gang, so I plan to do my men a small favor."
Vito had a faint smile on his face. Jabba looked at the smile and suddenly understood. He raised his arms and shouted, and the servitor also responded quickly, "He is Vito Constantine! The real Vito Constantine, kill him, quickly, quickly!"
Jabba's men immediately raised their weapons, but as soon as they aimed, their heads all exploded, and in the blink of an eye, blood rain poured down. In the torrential rain, the psychic raised his hands and suddenly shot a lightning bolt at Vito, but the latter just waved his hands lightly, and the lightning disappeared.
He waved his hand back, and the psychic exploded instantly. His body exploded from the inside, and blood and body debris sprayed all around. Some of them stuck to Jabba's hands. He waved his short hands in panic and looked at Vito who was walking in front of him.
"I am willing to serve you, your Excellency. Jabba is willing to tell you everything Jabba knows." "Oh? What do you know?" Vito walked up to the throne with a smile on his face, and approached Jabba step by step, and the latter became more hasty.
"High Lord, the remaining allies of the former High Lord are preparing to launch a coup on Terra. They are sheltering the remnants of Chaos believers in the lower nest and secretly instructing them to prepare for rebellion. They let Jabba transport weapons for them."
"Humph, it seems that this is the rumor of rebellion that Guilliman said." "Yes, my lord, the great Vito Constantine, Jabba has told you everything he knows, everything he knows." "All?" "Yes, all." "You made another mistake, mutant, you have reduced your remaining value to zero."
Vito came to Jabba, he suddenly pressed the switch on the armrest of the throne, and the floor in front of the throne opened instantly. Vito pushed Jabba off the throne, and he rolled off the throne and fell into the hole below.
The fat Jabba crashed to the ground, pushing his short limbs on the ground. He looked at the tall shadow that appeared in the cave. The monster opened its big mouth dripping with saliva and walked over. A low roar came from behind its teeth. Jabba looked at it and roared in that language, "Nedi, Darachus! Faru, Faru! Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Vito stood above the skylight and looked at him. After a slight smile, he looked at the servitor. He walked up. The servitor was waving his hands in a panic. Vito walked up, grabbed him, pulled out the terminal interface on the side of his head, and threw it to Omega behind him.
"Check what's inside. If I'm not mistaken, there will be something useful inside." He turned his head to look at Daladin. At this moment, the servitor behind him also fell to the ground with smoke. "Do you know who I am?"
"I know what I should know, sir." He said vaguely, and Vito nodded and inserted the grenade launcher into the holster, "Then do what you are told to do."
"Of course, sir, please come this way, I will take you out." He said and gestured to one side. After Vito walked over first, he followed behind. They walked out from the door that led him in here, left the hall, passed through the workshops full of abandoned machinery and household garbage, and came to a warehouse.
There were boxes of weapons and ammunition everywhere, close together, piled up like mountains, and not only ordinary guns and ammunition, but also between those boxes, Vito also saw several huge containers, where they were located.
One of them had its door open. They forgot to close the door after bringing the goods in, so they could see the sentinel mecha in it very clearly. It was crouching on the ground with its legs bent, and its twin gun barrels were hanging down. Outside the container was the fusion battery it used.
Vito looked around, his eyes narrowed slightly. The weapons here were enough to arm a regiment. It was really interesting. It seemed that the military affairs department needed to conduct a thorough inspection to see who had "lost" so many things.
"Please go over there, sir. That's the exit. My people are waiting for us outside." Daladin came to Vito and said vaguely with his swollen face. The latter glanced at him, and his eyes seemed to be filled with many meanings that made Daladin tremble all over. He smiled slightly and motioned Daladin to go first.
The latter did not dare to refuse, and immediately took the lead and walked over. Behind him, Vito looked at him and then looked at the weapons around him. He stretched out a hand to Omega, who immediately handed him a dynamite.
Daradin pulled open the rolling door of the warehouse. The automatic door opened automatically after receiving the upward thrust. Daradin limped out and stood outside the door waiting for Vito. He soon appeared outside the door and looked at the heavy transport trucks parked on the street behind the factory in front of him. There were several in a row.
There were many mechanical servants standing around the transport trucks. They had no weapons. Only the one standing in front of them, who was only wearing a vest, had a gun hanging on his waist. Vito knew him. He was the bodyguard who gave the coat to Omega before.
"It seems that you have a good plan. Use me to kill the enemies in the factory and then transport the goods away. You won't lose a single person or a single bullet. It's a good idea."
Vito smiled. Daradin beside him glanced at Vito, "My lord, they will handle the follow-up matters. Please follow me and I will take you to your destination."
Daldin said, limping to a car, where the driver had opened the door and stood by waiting for them, but only Daldin went over.
"Your calculations are very good, but I don't know anything about the goods." Vito said, pressing a remote control, and the factory behind him exploded instantly, and more than once, chain explosions rose in the entire factory, and the raging fire broke through the ceiling and instantly swept the entire factory area.
Daldin looked at the sentinel mecha that fell from the sky, and its wreckage hit Vito heavily. He watched Vito walk over from the burning mecha, came to Daldin and pressed his shoulder, "Remember, you are still a little naive to use me."
After saying that, Vito got into the back seat. Daldin stood outside the car and looked at the raging fire rising above the factory. They rose to the sky and illuminated the surface of the underground canal next to it.
