Chapter 116: Different Lives in the Vast Galaxy
"Hide in the escape pod and leave quickly. I will fight you!"
"Your name is Caroline? The hive doesn't support idle people. Why don't you go to the army and gain some experience?"
"You're just a little girl, and you're still thinking about training in the army? Hahaha, that's really hilarious."
"Sergeant Carolyn, congratulations on completing your training."
"You can work under the Overwatch Council and help me find the bastards who dare to resist."
"The scepter? I picked it up. The mutant centipede killed those people, and I went up to pick it up."
"What is a Genestealer? No, I don't understand!"
"By the way, let me ask you something. What is psychic power?"
"My elder brother really had nowhere else to turn, so he asked me to come to you! He really gave up his dignity."
"I bought it on the black market. I just bought it for fun."
...
Long-lost memories kept churning in her mind, and Caroline felt as if someone was tearing her head open and crushing the brain tissue inside.
Then it's mixed with all sorts of other debris and stuffed back into your head, but it's not sewn up.
Perhaps it was because she had fallen into the shattered void of memory, Caroline felt that she was falling continuously.
The fragments of memories around me flew away, or it was as if I was falling into an endless abyss. The memories that I wanted to reach out and grab were all disappearing from my fingertips.
The only thing that became increasingly clear was the ear-piercing prayers that kept shaking in the void.
"The Emperor is the beacon that guides us, the tower of hope for mankind in this dark galaxy..."
Not until all the medicine was injected into the blood did Caroline stop screaming until her voice became hoarse, and her twitching limbs gradually stabilized.
The pharmacist opened the metal can above her head and her face was covered with scars from the impact of the can.
Caroline coughed up bloody saliva, and her hair was soaked with tears. When the pharmacist helped her sit up, Caroline seemed to feel endless pain.
The mental torture was still irritating her. She was gasping for breath like she was having asthma, and her trembling body was unable to even sit or stand normally.
The pharmacist patted Caroline's back slowly as if coaxing a child, and whispered softly:
"This is a process that every loyal heir must go through. Rest for two days, and you will find that you will become stronger in the future!
You can stay energetic without supplies, you can move forward without support, and even if you encounter unimaginable hardships, you can clearly stick to your beliefs..."
"The Great Emperor," Caroline continued.
...
“Ring the great bell once, push the lever, start the piston and pump;
Ring the bell twice, press the button, the engine ignites, the turbine is ignited, and life is injected;
Ring the bell three times and sing in unison to praise the God of All Things. "
"twenty three..."
When the bell rang, all members of the Mechanicus prayed sincerely.
All the machines were humming, and some people were holding up their own mechanical creations, begging for the favor of the God of Machines.
So, it’s no wonder that people who don’t know about it would be scared. Everyone would be scared when seeing this thing.
"Your field mission has been approved and you have been assigned to the Taiping star field. The exploration mission is not bad." said a technical priest.
"It's really good. Compared to fighting, mining is more acceptable to me." Priest Shoggoth said while modifying his own structure.
"Shoggoth, be careful and don't die in the mines, or I'll have one less defeated enemy."
"Oh, O Messiah, I clearly won, okay?"
As the Shoggoth spoke, he extended a tentacle and tugged at the opponent's table, causing the welded points to move and become ineffective.
The technical priest was also unequivocal and threw a nut at the Shoggoth, who then "returned" it to him with a piece of iron.
A screwdriver, a pair of pliers, a laser welder, and a half-cut mechanical leg...
You and I threw one, back and forth, but not a single one fell to the ground.
“Ding-ling-clang!”
The toolbox that Shoggoth threw over completely broke apart, and the parts inside scattered like flowers from the sky.
The technical priest didn't have enough mechanical arms to catch them, so he could only let them fall to the ground with a crash.
"I win again," said the Shoggoth.
"Tsk, I saw you were leaving, so I let you play a round."
The Shoggoth chuckled twice, then stretched out its tentacles and patted the other's shoulder. The technical priest also smiled and stretched out his full arms.
The two of them hugged each other and made a "ping ping" sound.
"Be careful, there are many mechanical creations waiting for us to conquer!"
"I will, thank you." Shoggoth said and turned to leave.
...
In the monastery of the Sisters of Silence, a group of high-ranking sisters of silence were standing silently on both sides of the hall.
They all took a vow of silence, so the only sound in the entire monastery was the fluttering of flames in the braziers.
"Novice Sister Grave steps forward to receive the title," a silent sister in golden armor said in sign language.
Sister of Silence
"Yes!"
Grave responded, in front of her was one of the three highest ranking ones, Candice, the Practitioner of the Goddess of Vengeance, who was responsible for the training of all new members of the Sisterhood.
With its "help", I will be able to spend a very fulfilling time in the days ahead.
'Although you failed in your original mission, your performance was still outstanding. I hereby grant you the title of new nun.
But remember, you haven't taken the Serenity Vow yet, so you're not one of the sisters yet. Please keep working on it,' Candice signed.
"Yes! I will definitely reach my highest level of ability!" Grave shouted, holding back her tears.
The officer then conferred titles on other people, and when everyone left, she found Grave again.
'This is a big problem. I have asked many departments, but no one has heard of this person named Lin Heng.
Neither the Star Tongue Court nor the Psychic Academy sensed it, and the results of the divination were very confusing. Are you sure that the information conveyed by Yulena is correct?'
Although Candice was signing, Grave could tell that her expression was very serious.
"Madam, I am sure that the message conveyed by Captain Yulena is absolutely correct. We are the Sisters of Silence, and psychic power cannot change us!"
Grave signed, her expression determined.
As a superior, Candice naturally knew how powerful Yulena was, but if a warrior as brave as her died in space, how much would she not want others to know the secrets hidden in it?
Candice subconsciously looked at the wall, wondering if the answer she wanted to know was hidden in the palace outside the wall.
'If he is truly a strong warrior, then all these hardships are merely stepping stones for him to become stronger.
Trust your companions, fate is fickle, and believing in the Emperor is the only right way.'
Greve nodded and offered her sincerest blessings to the three friends, hoping that their road would not always be bumpy.
...
"Huff... um... cough... it stinks. Did I fall asleep in the toilet?"
Lin Heng pulled away the covering on the garbage pile and found himself lying between pieces of pink flesh.
It’s not quite right to call them pieces of meat, because these things have a mouth and two eyes, and are looking at me like an idiot.
One of the orcs' food, Squig, can evolve.
"WTF, where am I?"
Lin Heng raised his head and looked around, and found that this was a very dark and deep pit.
The surroundings were full of strange fluorescent fungi, and countless pink fleshy creatures were staring at him blankly, as if he was some new and exotic thing.
Lin Heng was confused and reached out to touch his head. Suddenly he realized that his left arm was still broken. Then he began to feel pain in his chest, thigh, and face.
"I******!"
Lin Heng cursed loudly, and then used his spiritual energy to heal. Heat continued to flow through various parts of the body, and the injured parts began to feel a pain as blood flowed.
Lin Heng punched a flesh creature to pieces, and then gritted his teeth and broke its crooked arm. Then he punched the flesh creature several more times.
Cold sweat broke out, and after half an hour of stopping and going, Lin Heng finally recovered his body to a state of almost normal condition.
At least all the internal and external injuries have been repaired. The worst thing is that he is too hungry to have enough strength.
【力量：728 反应：272 五感：184 抗性：393 恢复：300+3 能量：1502】
"Depend on!"
Lin Heng really had no strength left. He lay on his back in the garbage pile covered with fungi, gasping for breath.
Seeing Lin Heng fall down, the pink pieces of flesh squirmed their pillow-like bodies, slowly crawled onto Lin Heng, and continued to gnaw on the broken armor.
One of them was chewing his "Imperial Handbook", and Lin Heng quickly took it out of the other's mouth and shot it in the head.
"I remember there was a record of this kind of thing in the Orc manual."
Lin Heng stood up and talked to himself, then opened the manual and began to search. Sure enough, he found the record of this creature in a very small chapter.
"Squigs are creatures that grow in fungi or garbage. They are one of the main foods on the menu of the orcs.
There will be more dangerous variants among them, most of which are genetic monsters bred by the Snakebite Clan. "
Lin Heng looked at the group of Squiggers who were in a state like dementia. The two round eyes on their sides did not look like they were dangerous.
“Gurgle..Gurgle…”
Lin Heng's stomach rumbled. His hungry body did not allow him to release any spiritual energy, not to mention that he did not even have the strength to climb out of the deep pit.
"Damn it, I don't really want to eat this!"
It’s not that Lin Heng couldn’t accept it. After all, no matter how ugly it looked, it was still meat. Isn’t it better looking than corpse starch?
But if you eat it raw...it's orcs' food...you won't get infected by parasites if you eat it, right?
There is no other choice but to eat mushrooms that are as hard as tree bark. Lin Heng doesn't want to be parasitized by certain spores and turn into a mushroom man.
Then he began to choose among the group of Squiggs and found a guy who looked quite pleasing to the eye.
"It's up to you!"
