"Can't run away, turn off the radiation shield, activate the void shield, activate the Geller stance, start the subspace engine, prepare for subspace navigation, start the weapon destruction process, and be ready to destroy weapons at any time."

"Yes, Captain!"

After receiving the order from the captain, the originally stagnant escort transport ship came to life again. Countless mechanical servants that had entered dormancy in advance to save energy were restarted from the dormant state. According to the command of the mechanical monks, they started in batches.

He entered different positions step by step and worked in an orderly manner.

In case of being unable to escape, all biological weapons on the spacecraft must be destroyed in the most decisive manner.

Because once these biological weapons fall into the hands of interstellar pirates, relying on these weapons used on the frontline battlefield, interstellar pirates who have no bottom line will cause dozens or hundreds of planets to be devastated.

Logically speaking, this place is still quite far away from the Maelstrom area, and there are many Imperial Navy patrols around it. There should not be such interstellar pirates who dare to come here to plunder.

This is also the fundamental reason why a small escort transport ship dares to carry out long-distance freight without any protection.

After all, this is on your own home territory, so what is there to be afraid of?

But sometimes, the more you don't want things to happen, the more they happen.

For example, the interstellar pirate fleet in front of you appeared out of thin air on the important trade routes in the empire, and it actually dared to attack the ships of the Mechanicum!

This really emboldens the ambition of a leopard.

The pirate fleet is composed of a dilapidated heavy cruiser and five frigates. The appearance of these ships has been changed beyond recognition. It can only be seen through the patches on some ships that they should have been destroyed or destroyed in some way.

Rebuilt from damaged Imperial ships.

The skills of the engineers who transformed them were still very poor, and the repairs in many places were extremely bloated. Even the void shields could not be completely covered, and they looked like tattered garbage dug out of the grave of some ships.

Driving these pieces of garbage, not to mention encountering the expedition teams of interstellar war groups, even the Imperial Navy fleets in various star regions can easily defeat them.

But even such a junk fleet is far beyond what a escort transport ship can deal with.

Fortunately, the opponent had made up their mind to capture them alive, otherwise they would have been sunk with main guns.

However, seeing the frigate's jump engine begin to glow and heat up, the interstellar pirates were obviously a little anxious. Various missiles and lasers were no longer hidden, and the shields bombarded by strong artillery fire continued to send out dazzling ripples.

, giving Chen Guo a feeling that she would completely collapse at any time.

Ping has been reinstalled back into the main console. The mechanical tentacles on his body are tightly tied to the wires on the control center. With every missile and laser bombardment from outside, the wire connection ports on Ping's body will still remain.

From time to time, blue electric sparks flashed.

Later, Ping not only had to pilot the spacecraft, but also began to personally control the energy output of the shield, hoping that the shield could last longer, preferably until the jump engine was warmed up.

The subspace storm in this area has definitely not dissipated, but even if you are caught in the subspace storm, you still have a chance to survive, but if you are caught by these interstellar pirates, you will definitely die.

.

Putting aside the fact that in order to keep secrets and prevent retaliation, interstellar pirates will often resolutely silence them.

You must know that on some planets' black markets, every complete mechanical monk is a hot commodity.

It’s not about asking them to work, but about the knowledge in their heads.

A mechanical monk is a treasure house, a technological treasure house full of knowledge.

"Buzz buzz~"

The violent vibration caused by the engine caused the starry sky in front of the hanging window to appear with colorful lights, which was a sign before entering subspace.

Once they successfully enter the subspace, these pirates are waiting to eat their shit!

Chen Guo was overjoyed, but at this moment, the main gun of the heavy cruiser in the distance suddenly emitted a dazzling blue light. The speed of this light cannon was so fast that even Ping controlled the spacecraft and used tactics at the fastest speed.

He dodged, but was still hit by the beam of light at the rear of the ship.

But there was no violent explosion as imagined, and nothing happened to the stern of the ship that was hit, as if nothing happened.

But suddenly, Ping, who was embedded in the control center, began to tremble violently, and silver snake sparks quickly gathered on his body. In an instant, Ping turned into a lit match.

Chen Guo wanted to save him, but the fire was too fierce and fast. Even if Chen Guo wanted to take action, she had no chance at all. She could only watch as he was burned alive into a charred corpse.

of mummy.

With Ping's death, the still-burning control center slowly stopped working. The spacecraft lost power control and gradually turned into a space coffin without temperature.

Chen Guo looked at Ping's body and sighed silently.

Just now, Ping's soul had entered Chen Guo's body and turned into a manifestation. It seemed that he would never be able to return to the embrace of the God of All Machines.

"I'm sorry. If I have the chance, I will help you get revenge."

"Puff puff puff~"

There were dull impacts one after another above the head, and the silver-gray mask flashed past. From the perspective of perspective, densely packed landing pods had been nailed to the surface of the entire spacecraft. The interstellar pirates had swaggered into the upper deck and machinery.

The mechanical servants commanded by the monks started a fierce battle. The two sides were inextricably linked for a while, and it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.

But Chen Guo knew that the mechanical monks were doomed. Even if they used the biological weapons in the warehouse, it would be useless. Unless reinforcements arrived, they would be exhausted by the pirates sooner or later.

What's more, not only will they not use it, they will also destroy all these biological weapons that can save their lives.

"We have to find a way to escape."

Chen Guo's mind was racing. The best way now was to see if she could sneak into the interstellar pirates and follow their spaceship away, otherwise she would die in this iron coffin that lost power.

Just as he was thinking about it, a strange noise came from the thick explosion-proof door of the main control room. Chen Guo quickly turned her attention and saw four or five interstellar pirates holding an exaggeratedly shaped drill rig on the thick hatch.

Keep drilling holes and inserting explosives.

Beside them, the fragments of the mechanical servants had piled high into a hill.

Did you get here so quickly?

Chen Guo was startled and keenly noticed something was wrong, but he had no time to think about it because the pirates outside had already completed the work at hand and were about to blow up the door!

He quickly rolled on the ground and hid behind the console.

The next second, a violent explosion sounded. The cabin door, which weighed several tons, was easily blown into pieces. The flying steel residue raked the entire cabin like bullets.

The smoke filled the air for a while, and the pungent smell of explosives made Chen Guo have trouble breathing.

The well-prepared pirates put on gas masks in advance and passed through the thick smoke and broken hatches in a 212 formation and entered the main control bridge.

"No target found. Captain, go search the console. Engineer, hurry up and start repairs. We only have two regular Terran days at most to repair this ship. The Governor won't be able to delay it for long. The oil man's rescue team will arrive soon."

"Roger that, sir!"

‘Sure enough, they are not real pirates. It looks like they are planetary navies from the surrounding galaxies...maybe even the Imperial Navy!’ Chen Guo felt a chill in her heart, and her plan went bankrupt.

"Who is there!"

While the pirate searching the console was talking, the laser gun in his hand had already fired, and the green light beam directly enveloped the console where Chen Guo was hiding.

It wasn't until the entire console was shot into a sieve that he and his companions exchanged ammunition and walked over.

But when they got closer, they discovered that there was nothing there, not even a drop of blood.

"Captain, what's going on?"

"Sir, the person is missing."

"Did you see it wrong?"

"No... sir?"

The captain who heard the strange noise suddenly turned his head, only to see a scene that shocked him. His commander and another teammate were already lying in a pool of blood, while the engineer was being palmed by a mechanical monk wearing a silver-gray mask.

It passed through the neck and was raised high, scarlet blood sprayed all over the ground.

He raised his hand and was about to shoot, but the mechanical monk directly threw the engineer in his hand towards him. He could only be forced to hide to the side, but in this moment, the mechanical monk had already jumped up to him without a trace.

In front of him, sharp nails pierced his chest and heart, lifting him up from the ground.

After casually throwing away the body, Chen Guo looked at the last pirate, saw his gun pointed at her, and saw his legs shaking: "If I were you, I would throw away the gun and surrender."

"……I surrender!"

----------------------------------------

Five minutes later, Chen Guo crushed the throat of this Imperial Army soldier. Just as he had guessed, these guys were not real interstellar pirates but Imperial troops from the nearby Garcia system.

Under the influence of the dual storms of stellar storm and subspace storm, the Garcia galaxy's interstellar trade with other galaxies has not only been reduced to the lowest level, but the economic and trade of the entire galaxy has also been basically stagnant. Even it is about to be handed over to the empire.

I can hardly afford to pay my tithe.

There is a saying circulating in the Warhammer world that there are two most important things in this world, one is death and the other is taxes.

And once there is no taxation, death will be the only thing that greets them.

Forty thousand years in the future, before the arrival of the Dark Age, Huron, the tyrant of Badab, was forced to rebel just because of such a trivial issue as taxation!

In order to maintain their status, the governor families of the three hive planets in the galaxy joined forces with the sector government to earn tithes and stimulate domestic economic demand in the galaxy by robbing passing imperial merchant ships.

As expected, unruly people come out of poor places. The closer you get to the maelstrom, the more daring you become. The planetary governor and the galaxy government dare to jointly act as pirates and rob the passing merchant ships of the empire, and even the ships of the empire and the Mechanicum.

This has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty, it is completely equivalent to rebellion.

If the Council of Terra or the Adeptus Mechanicus found out about this, would they send troops to bulldoze the entire galaxy?

While sighing, Chen Guo was not ready to meddle in other people's business.

In addition, he learned from this coward's mouth that, in order to keep it secret, each team playing the role of interstellar pirates had different tasks and divisions of labor, and they did not know each other. They only looked at the clothes and keys, not the person.

More importantly, the landing bay on the upper deck has an automatic return button. As long as the key is inserted and the button is pressed, they can return to their own ship.

After turning over the captain's body, Chen Guo found a key.

The key looks like a black USB flash drive with fifteen written on it in Low Gothic.

To be honest, it looks exactly like a USB flash drive, and its usage is exactly the same, except that the diameter is much larger than an ordinary USB flash drive.

After comparing her figure, Chen Guo took off the engineer's clothes and put them on herself, cut off his palm to disable the weapon's encryption system, and then limped out of the main control bridge pretending to be seriously injured.

Following the chaos inside the ship, he moved towards the upper deck.

Along the way, the corpses of machine servants and mechanical monks were everywhere, and there were also many Imperial Army squads disguised as interstellar pirates walking past him.

When some teams saw Chen Guo limping and covered in blood, they stopped with great concern and asked Chen Guo if she needed help.

Chen Guo declined politely, saying that there was nothing wrong with her, but she just needed support after the mission failed.

A team with engineers volunteered to help him complete the mission, and specially sent a team member to help Chen Guo towards the upper deck.

With the help and cover of this temporary teammate, Chen Guo easily sneaked into the upper plywood. With the key in hand, under the watchful eye of the kind person, Chen Guo activated the landing module and returned to the original ship - the broken ship.

A battered heavy cruiser.

Watching the landing module slowly landing on the upper deck of the cruiser, Chen Guo observed for a while and found that many wounded soldiers had already returned in the landing module, and then walked out swaggeringly.

Once again declining the medical soldier's help, Chen Guo relied on the numbers on the key and silently returned to the team's exclusive cabin.

As soon as he entered the cabin, he immediately locked the cabin. Chen Guo began to carefully observe the structure of the cabin. With the help of the Face of Truth, he easily found the ventilation duct on the ceiling in the corner of the room.

After finding a way out, Chen Guo's heart suddenly relaxed a lot. He leaned against the window and looked at the escort transport ship floating slowly below. He silently took out the red beads that Ping gave him. For a moment, he felt extremely painful.

.

Based on the fact that a limb monster can provide him with 3,000 realization points, if a warehouse full of biological weapons can die in his hands, wouldn't it be equivalent to turning on a cheating device?

At that time, wouldn't it be possible to redeem as much Huanglong Pill as you wanted? It was not impossible to eat Huanglong Pill as food or even swim in it.

It's a pity that what's not his is never his. Not only does a warehouse full of biological weapons have no chance with him, but even the ten he deserves are gone.
