"Please trouble you."
Suddenly, Li turned his head and looked at Dalia, his voice softer.
“Many times.”
Dalia just replied softly.
"But the effect of these methods is becoming more and more limited."
"For the time being, I won't need them soon."
After the bandage was re-entwined, Li stretched his hands towards the hourglass, and then he could see the fine sand in the hourglass began to flow backwards, and at the same time, a trace of light green energy began to float out of the hourglass and flow into Li's thin body.
After a while, Li clenched his fists again.
"Are they here?"
"It's already here."
Li walked out of the room and came to his personal ship, a bridge hall of a mysterious giant ship that had never been registered with the Imperial official.
As soon as he entered the bridge, Li saw two mighty and majestic bodies standing on the main passage, with their backs facing him as if they were talking about something. They were wearing the power armor of the empire, with chains on their waists and blasting guns.
Hearing the movement of the bridge gate, the two turned around and revealed their hideous and sturdy faces. Both of them looked like battle-hardened, scars on their faces and necks were like broken statues, but they also had the temperament and toughness of warriors.
One of the bald soldiers with a long scar on his right eye saw Li, laughed loudly and walked over.
"Li! Long time no see, I thought you forgot us!"
Li walked over with a sincere smile.
"The whole Galaxy has forgotten us. If I forget you again, who else can remember what happened before?"
There was almost no sign on the ancient power armor of the two warriors. The glory of the past had long passed with time. Now there was only a sign of lightning splitting the skull in their chests.
"As long as you are there, our existence will still be meaningful. We have been waiting for your call. After all,... our group of sewer mice have only this little value left."
When Li heard this, he raised his right hand.
"Babu, we are no longer rats, I swear, no longer... When I first met you abandoned Thunder Warriors underground, I told you that the world will be shocked by your return again."
That's right, what appeared in front of Li was almost completely erased, the first batch of super warriors, Thunder Warriors created by the Emperor in the era of the United War.
These warriors were the most powerful armed forces under the Emperor during the unification of Terra, but their inherent shortcomings made it difficult for them to adapt to the Emperor's future expedition plan. Therefore, after unifying Terra and creating Astartes, the Emperor cleaned up all the Thunder Warriors, and only a few escaped and hid their identity in Terra's underground world.
Arik Taranis and Guta are two surviving Thunder Warriors. After escaping into the underground world, Arik Taranis abandoned his past, used a new identity Babu Dakar, and established a gang Dakar Gang, which operates underground in the City of Wishers such as illegal drugs, arms, gambling, illegal food and flesh business. Guta is his deputy, and other Thunder Warriors have joined his group to become a small group of Thunder Warriors.
As Terra's former "cleaner manager", Li has been active in the underground world many times. In fact, this kind of gang is also within his "cleaning". However, Li saw many darkness under unity. He usually sympathizes with exiles and refugees. He either turns a blind eye to the troublesome people. Sometimes he even secretly provides food and medicine for poor refugees who have to hide in the underground world due to taxes or debts.
This may be based on a mentality of atonement. His father established the greatest empire, but slavery and oppression did not seem to have been reduced much. In the past, many slave owners were still slave owners, and nobles could also execute and torture their own people at will. The poor were still poor after unification...
During an accidental operation, Li ran into several thunder warriors, followed them all the way and fell into the trap of Bab Dakar, but due to his quick reaction and analytical ability, he escaped at the last moment.
But he did not call for reinforcements. In fact, as one of the earliest genetic warriors, Li had met many senior Thunder Warrior commanders, and even had several acquaintances. He also sympathized with these abandoned warriors and immediately revealed his identity.
At first, Bab Dakar did not trust him, but as time went on, he found out that Li had not followed him to the end and often helped the poor, the two sides established contact and gradually became friends.
After the Battle of Terra, Bab Dakar gathered all the remaining Thunder Warriors, moved to a safer area under Lee's cover, and began to use the genetic seeds he obtained to study to crack the genetic defects of Thunder Warriors...
Babu Dakar never took his anger on the Emperor for his purge. On the contrary, he realized from the beginning that he was just a tool to throw away as long as he was used. As long as the substitute appeared, he would inevitably become history. The Horus rebellion allowed him to see the Emperor's failure, which gave him a strong sense of mission.
The Empire was forged in the hands of the Thunder Warriors, so when it is broken, the Thunder Warriors will also recast it!
More importantly, with the help of Lee, he finally cracked some of the secrets of the gene seed and used related technologies to remove most of the flaws of the Thunder Warrior.
As the emperor's child, Li became their rightful follower. At the same time, Li's wisdom and strategic ability also deeply impressed Babu Dakar. He saw the shadow of the former emperor's rebuke in Li. Perhaps his power was not that strong, but the emperor did not need to go to battle and kill the enemy frequently.
Bab Dakar firmly believed that Lee was the one who could reborn the empire, and those primordies and their offspring were just a group of monsters that almost destroyed the entire empire. In this case, the two sides formed a de facto subordinate relationship.

"It's not bad, it's much better than the unstable metal implants before. It can indeed effectively improve the status and premature aging of the new and modified warriors, but the side effect is...their aggressiveness has become stronger, especially for living people. We have moved more than a dozen times, and each time it's because of that world... there are no living people. Fortunately, this is the edge of the galaxy, and there are not many empires, otherwise things may not be able to cover up. In addition, the problem of metallization of the body has not been solved, but it's much better than premature aging."
"Let me see the soldiers."
Hearing Li's words, Guta nodded, then opened the communicator, and the doors close to the bridge opened one by one. A group of soldiers wearing ancient black MK2-type power armor, taller than ordinary space warriors, walked in with neat steps. At first glance, there were as many as thousands of people. Even because of their appearance, the temperature of the entire bridge began to drop sharply.
The signs on their chests are all unknown signs of lightning splitting the skull.
Looking at the murderous team, Li let out a satisfied hum.
"very good."
He turned to look at Bab Dakar.
"Do they have a new name?"
"Not yet, isn't this waiting for you?"
"Then, since their mission is to recast the empire with thunder... let's call it the Thunder Warrior."
After reading it twice, Babu Dakar nodded and praised:
"Okay, this name is good, we will be Lei Zhu warriors from now on!"
"Then we're going to set out."
"Where are you going?"
"Gray-white witchcraft."
"Isn't there...are you not a shaped area?"
"Yes, we have to find a group of merchants to buy some weapons and equipment needed for the next operation, and... we can also get some help."
"Alien?"
"I have seen them, the Strisians, the group of aliens whom I hate the most, have seen them, the messengers of the Seans Convention, and they are willing to trade with us."
"Since you've made arrangements, let's go."
Li turned around and ordered the crew members near the huge operating table.
