Chapter 21 Death is at hand
Not only the assessment terminal of the Emperor Academy, but also the final terminal of the military was completed as early as yesterday and all preparations had been made. Such efficiency not only amazed Wilken, the principal of the Emperor Academy, but also the military's own
The internal staff also felt incredible. They had never known that this system, which seemed to be in the dark and could completely collapse at any time, could actually burst out such a huge amount of vitality in an instant.
There are rumors that the machine soul in the military terminal seems to be completely activated.
Providing sufficient armed logistics for 300,000 people and providing a fleet to transport 300,000 people to the Maelstrom. These military forces have already been prepared and will set sail from outer space when the time comes, aiming directly at the Maelstrom.
Zhang Yi mingled among the crowd. Although the chaos caused yesterday afternoon made many people remember him, in a blink of an eye so many people were scattered among 300,000 people. There were not many people left who really remembered him and were still around him.
So now he doesn't worry about being discovered and recognized.
He must now rush to one of the 50 boarding plazas as quickly as possible and wait there to board the plane.
In front of him, there were thousands of people rushing towards the assembly square not far away in chaos, while there were even more people running behind him. Zhang Yi barely moved on his own before he was caught in the crowd and rushed towards the feet of the officer.
.
"I don't need to know your names, Zasui. Maybe some of you are very strong, but to me, Zasui is Zasui, at most a powerful Zasui. From now on, you don't need to speak or ask questions.
All you need to do is follow the orders. Once I find someone violating it, I will throw him directly into the engine room and let him have a heated exchange with the engines."
The officer stood on the high metal platform and walked around, shouting loudly to the audience. The square below the stage was already filled with people. At the entrance of the square, there were still hundreds of candidates who were not counted by the officers for various reasons.
They entered the square within a certain time, where they made a noise and begged the Imperial Guard soldiers guarding the entrance to show their respect.
The soldier captain guarding the entrance looked back at the officer. The officer expressionlessly raised his right thumb and made a faint scratch under his neck.
The captain immediately turned his head and shouted loudly: "Raise the gun!"
The soldiers faithfully followed the orders, raised their laser guns, and pointed them at the hundreds of people who were still noisy.
When those people saw this situation, they suddenly became silent. Not only them, but also the nearly ten thousand people in the No. 3 terminal square became silent at the same time.
The captain pointed at the latecomer and continued to order: "Shoot."
The hundreds of people who arrived late were stunned. Before they had time to make any preparations, they were hit by laser guns continuously. They didn't even have the chance to fight back. Some people who were still shouting that they were descendants of so-and-so were beaten even worse.
It was almost sieved by the laser.
Zhang Yi looked at it from a distance, and all the hair on his body stood up in an instant, and his legs didn't even have the strength to support him to continue standing.
The captain signaled several soldiers: "Put away your guns and search."
The strong giant, who was almost the height of two normal humans and could compete with Space Marines, put down the bolt gun in his hand. These mutated subspecies did not execute the firing order just now. If they had fired just now, there would no longer be any corpses in front of them.
There were only countless scattered pieces of flesh left in existence. They strode into the crowd of latecomers, not caring whether their feet would crush someone's legs, chest, or even head.
"One hundred and fifty-four people died, and sixty-eight people survived."
The search results were quickly compiled and shouted out by the guard captain.
The Guards officer on the steel platform waved his hands in disgust, signaling to throw away the corpses. As for the injured, the Imperial Guard medic simply bandaged them and threw them aside. After the spacecraft starts up, these wounded will be placed on the ground.
In the engine room, if they can survive, they will still have the opportunity to complete the assessment mission with other students. If they accidentally die on the road, they will have a better chance of becoming part of the nuclear engine fuel and contributing their last effort to help other colleges go to the maelstrom.
Just as the trainees who witnessed all this were horrified, the guard officer began to roar loudly again.
"This is the first and only lesson I teach you. Remember, don't be late, and don't make any excuses for being late. The battle with the enemy will not stop and wait for you just because of this reason. On the contrary,
, your teammates are likely to die because of your tardiness, so don’t be late, don’t make excuses for yourself, being late will only lead to death!”
No matter how many people listened, the officer pointed to the huge transport airship behind him and said: "Now, follow my order to board the ship. Psykers enter from the front entrance No. 10, and Qi practitioners enter from the entrance after No. 10, enter the spacecraft
After that, you are not allowed to whisper, act at will, or use any communication tools. Once someone is found to be disobeying, all members of the cabin where the disobedient is located will be punished."
Someone next to Zhang Yi shouted: "Protest, what you do violates the imperial constitution. Only the violators should be punished, and others should not??????"
Before he could finish his words, a laser beam that almost passed Zhang Yi's nose penetrated his brain.
No blood flowed out, and the high-temperature laser instantly coagulated the wound, and at the same time, the examinee's life was coagulated.
The deceased fell to the ground with a crash. Before Zhang Yi could react, the people behind him were already crowding him in silence and stepping over the deceased.
No one made a detour or moved the body, because there was no time to make a detour or move the body.
Everyone stayed quiet, absolutely obeyed the discipline, and moved forward absolutely quietly, even if they trampled a corpse into pulp.
Zhang Yi stared blankly at his feet. Just now, these feet stepped over a person. He seemed to hear the sound of the person's bones breaking. It was very loud, and it kept ringing.
It kept lingering in his ears.
The entire airline cabin was extremely quiet. Everyone who boarded the cabin behind Zhang Yi was looking at their feet. Some people even had bright red marks on the soles of their feet. However, they just looked and even wiped these marks away.
There are no missing actions,
They can only watch, they can only watch.
The tail of the transport spacecraft roared, and the spacecraft began to take off.
Unlike those civilian spaceships, military spaceships are noisy. Even in the space capsule, Zhang Yi can feel the constant buzzing in his ears. Not far away from him, the ears of several candidates have begun to bleed.
.
Zhang Yi subconsciously looked at the tops of their heads, and all of them were marked as weak by the system.
If these people do not receive treatment within 5 minutes, they will all die.
Zhang Yi didn't know how long it would take for the spacecraft to fly to the mothership, but he knew that 5 minutes was definitely not enough, and it might even take more than 30 minutes.
In other words, these people are dead.
It is a very terrible thing to watch a person slowly and painfully die in front of him. But now, Zhang Yi is not facing one person, but dozens of people. These people are no longer bleeding from the ears, they are
Her lips were turning purple, and her eyes and nostrils were bleeding.
That's a sign that their internal organs have been damaged. Even if they get treatment now, they won't be able to live anymore.
Even so, the passenger compartment was as quiet as ever, except for the roar of the engine that continued.
Zhang Yi didn't dare to look anymore. He took a long breath and retracted his gaze back to the system panel.
The mission system is still as gloomy as ever, which means that this assessment is still not very good for the system, and it is not dangerous at all.
But Zhang Yi ignored one thing. His racial talent has a page-turning upgrade option, and the mission system must also have this option. If he calls page-turning, he will naturally see that a branch mission has been unlocked in the extremely difficult task bar.
.
As for racial talents, Zhang Yi has not considered adding points since he reached level 10. Now he still has two racial talent points in his hand. He previously considered whether to open another talent when encountering actual situations, but now it seems that it is obviously not necessary.
, one talent point is invested in the dying struggle, and one talent point is invested in self-righteousness.
Now, in addition to his own morale, Zhang Yi has an additional +7 morale, but his physical fitness has also dropped a bit.
With his current morale and physique, the most suitable job for him is of course the sniper. However, the battlefield is changing at any time, and he does not have the certainty to ensure that he will always have a sniper rifle in hand.
It is said that there are not only ordinary remnants of pirates in the Maelstrom, but also a large number of Space Marines. They are all remnants of the renegade interstellar chapter Star Claws.
When the Imperial Army's siege of Badab was coming to an end, Blackheart, known as the Red Pirate King, the tyrant of Badab, and the ruler of the Maelstrom, was hit by a melta cannon and was seriously injured.
Unfortunately, Blackheart survived. Although half of his body was equipped with biochemical prostheses, he was not even as good as the pilot of the Dreadnought mecha. He hid in the vortex with the members of the Rebel Star Troopers who followed him, and
Launch attacks on the empire from time to time.
Although this kind of attack did not seriously damage the empire, it also caused heavy casualties and quite adverse effects. In addition, the Maelstrom located in the core area of the galaxy is a large interface between real space and different spaces. In order to prevent alien
The Chaos Space Marine Legion and the Sons of Demons in space suddenly appeared from this interface, creating a human empire sandwiched between the Cadian Gate and the Maelstrom. The Empire had to deploy a large number of weapons near the Maelstrom.
Observation posts, which made the Imperial Army, which was already fighting Zerg, Orcs, and Chaos Space Marine legions all over the galaxy, even more stretched. In order to solve this problem, the Imperial Army had already formulated a plan to remove Blackheart in the Maelstrom in one fell swoop.
and his plan to annihilate his legions.
However, the manpower and financial resources involved in this plan are too huge, coupled with the complex environment inside the maelstrom, the constant collision of various different space energies and real space energy, the cosmic background shock wave triggered after the annihilation of the material planet, and the black hole escaping after the evaporation
Super energy, gamma ray bursts after supernova explosions, these randomly generated backgrounds are enough to make any action by the Imperial Army come to naught.
Therefore, until now, the imperial side is still in a state of comprehensive mapping of the maelstrom. They are also eager to have an army that can rush into the maelstrom. Even if they cannot complete any mission, these people will leave valuable legacy to those who come after them.
Geographical information, the greater the number of troops rushing in, and the deeper the invasion, the more valuable and comprehensive the information.
