I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 190: Trading Cooperation Explodes Suddenly

Mario Hughes looked solemn.

He warned: "Kevin is in danger. Osside, don't go looking for your brother."

"You should all be careful during this time. If you see unfamiliar faces, try to stay away from them."

Osside nodded silently.

Although he was unwilling, he also understood that some people were not something that beggars at the bottom of the nest city like them could afford to offend. If he continued to investigate, not only would he be in danger, but it might also bring huge trouble to the Weak Mutual Aid Association.

"Hughes, is what I want ready?"

The next day, a group of uninvited guests came to the territory of the Weak Mutual Aid Association.

These are a group of weirdos, with strong builds, scars all over their skin, and their limbs have been chopped off and replaced with machines.

The leader was a 2-meter-tall bald man, half of his head and chin were replaced by steel, as if he had suffered terrible injuries. His face was hideous and his eyes were cold, as if nothing in the world could change his expression.

As soon as he arrived, he found the leader of the mutual aid association and questioned him bluntly.

The children looked at the strong man with some fear. Many people knew the identity and legendary deeds of this strong man - Bull Gurg, a slave gladiator who escaped from the Deep Pit Arena.

Gurg was once a legend in the Pit Arena, a killing machine favored by slavers. It was said that he could fight a giant pit spider with his bare hands.

A few years ago, for unknown reasons, Gurg led a group of slave gladiators to revolt, killed the guards and slave owners, escaped from the Deep Pit Arena, and evaded the gang's pursuit.

Since then, he has become a legendary figure in Dihwoar. It is said that he is still leading a group of warriors who were born as slaves to move around Dihwoar, carrying out the heroic cause of liberating slaves.

Bull Gurger has a close relationship with Mario Hughes, the leader of the Underdog Mutual Aid Society.

It may be because Mario is one of the few people who is willing to trade with Gurg and risk offending local gangs by providing him with weapons and equipment.

Having children excavate ruins, scavenge and recycle components, then cast them into weapons and armor to sell to other lower-level forces is an important channel for Mario to maintain good relations with other forces.

Mario ordered his men to lift up several boxes of equipment.

"Twenty finely crafted weapons, thirty suits of plasteel armor, two hundred high-explosive grenades, and ten thousand rounds of 10mm ammunition. Everything you want is here."

Gurg quickly inspected the goods and nodded with satisfaction.

"I have another good thing here, see if you are interested."

At this time, Mario said again, and took Gurg into the room alone. After more than ten minutes, Gurg came out with a satisfied smile, and there was a weapon box on his back.

"Mario, my good brother, don't worry, I will take care of those bastards from the Viper Gang."

"I guarantee that within five days, the head of the Viper Gang boss will appear in front of you!"

"Then I'll trouble you."

Mario said with a smile that Feng Qingyundan and Gurge had agreed on a murder deal.

"Great! The damn Viper Gang is finally getting their comeuppance!"

"Bah! These beasts got away with it!"

The Viper Gang is a thorn in the side of the Weak Mutual Aid Society because this gang is in the human trafficking business and specifically targets children. They capture orphans from the bottom nest and sell high-quality little boys and girls to some perverted dignitaries...

Many brothers and sisters in the mutual aid society have been harmed by this gang. The children wish they could eat alive these beasts in human skin!

The teenagers nearby asked Mario in confusion: "Chief, why should we cooperate with Gurge? What if they tell the Viper Gang about it for their own benefit..."

"No." Mario answered firmly.

"why?"

Mario's eyes flickered, and he answered meaningfully: "Because we are all weak."

The young men seemed to be thinking about something and realizing something.

In the outer space of Persephone's hive world, far away from the hustle and bustle of the Underhive, the flagship of the Ash Claws Chapter, the Fire Phoenix, is quietly anchored in the starport.

"Julius, the Hades system is now in your hands. Ragar will assist you in rebuilding the Second Company. Complete the repairs as soon as possible. I estimate that the Tyranids will make a comeback."

"Don't worry, Chapter Master. I will make the Second Company even stronger!"

In response to the chapter leader's instructions, Second Captain Julius patted his chest and assured confidently.

Nerva nodded and ordered the regiment to pack up and prepare to set sail.

A few hours later, the Fire Phoenix, carrying a dozen warships loaded with supplies, slowly accelerated towards the depths of space with its plasma engines emitting long tail flames.

"All personnel in place, initiate the subspace jump in fifteen minutes!"

All members were in position, and the Librarian held incense to bless the crew, praying and admonishing them to remain firm in their beliefs and not be seduced by the illusions of the Warp.

Lightning burst out in the energy room reactor and gathered on the subspace engine in the center of the ship. The subspace engine roared and penetrated the dimensional membrane, injecting huge energy into another dimension. Then a purple-red vortex appeared in front of the ship and expanded rapidly.

Although many subspace jumps have been carried out, all crew members, especially the mortal crew members, still sit obediently in their seats, fasten their seat belts, and pray silently in their hearts.

Every warp jump is a life-threatening risk for mortals, and one could lose their life if they are not careful.

So no one dares to be careless.

Chapter Master Nerva and a group of senior commanders of the Ash Claws stood calmly on the command deck, staring at the warp entrance in front of the bow through the observation window.

His face was calm, his mood was steady, and there was no ripple at all.

The Astartes warriors on board are fully armed, holding weapons, ready to fight at any time - if any blind Warp creatures dare to break into the ship during navigation, the Astartes will warmly welcome them.

The bow of the Fire Phoenix sank into the vortex-shaped subspace entrance, like a long sword, piercing vertically into the water surface, causing ripples.

Although it seems slow, it is actually quite fast. It only takes two seconds for an eight-kilometer-long starship to penetrate into another dimension.

Just when the Fire Phoenix was two-thirds of the way in, the subspace entrance suddenly exploded without any warning.

The entire subspace entrance exploded, and the violent energy instantly blew the Fire Phoenix into two pieces. The subspace entrance turned into a destructive storm and disappeared, along with it, two-thirds of the ships that had entered the subspace.

The remaining one third of the Fire Phoenix, including the engine room and the power thruster, instantly turned into a huge fireball in the terrible energy of the explosion at the subspace entrance.

Pulled by the planet's gravity, it fell towards the planet Persephone.

In a starport not far away, the warriors of the 2nd Company of the Ash Claws were on the newly commissioned Flamingo destroyer as they watched the accident on the flagship where the Chapter Master was, with their eyes wide open.

"Go to the rescue!"

Julius immediately dispatched the shuttle on his spaceship to search for the surviving Astartes brothers at the site of the explosion and the crash site of the starship.
