Warhammer Inquisitor - Chapter 599

Chapter 599 The Planet of Criminals

In the orange-red atmosphere, flying sand mixed with billowing heat waves swept across the sky. This place is a land of death. The Gobi Desert and deserts stretching for thousands of miles cover the continents of the entire planet. There are only a few low mountains and mountains that separate the land. The deep rift adds a little bit of difference to this place.

This planet is difficult to survive. According to the editors of the Ministry of Government Affairs, this is a world of death, and it can also be used for torture. In fact, it has been used as a world of torture many years ago, used to exile criminals. It is remote and There is no need for walls and guards, and there is no way for criminals to escape.

So in fact, this planet is an entire prison, where the Empire exiles all kinds of criminals year after year, real murderers, rapists, and thieves, and those who are just not allowed by the governor, or any high-ranking officials. Like artists, intellectuals, or idealists, this makes this a hodgepodge, where you can find any component of the empire.

Because the Ministry of Government Affairs and the Ministry of Justice don’t bother to take care of this place at all, so the whole planet is in a state of stocking all year round, and there are no permanent officials to rule here, so, naturally, criminals have formed their own free kingdom here, here The environment is very harsh, so various gangs and criminal groups are constantly killing each other, competing for the only remaining resources.

This process has lasted for centuries. The deserts of the entire planet are filled with a large number of predators, as well as gangs of barbarians sitting on off-road vehicles and riding motorcycles. They fight everywhere on the yellow sand, robbing resources, slaves and you Everything you can think of in this wild world.

Those already barbaric people degenerate even more in this environment. The better ones become desert predators who know how to use machinery and weapons, and the worse ones directly become primitive people guarding in caves , bowing to the totem murals on the wall.

Only a few city-states retained civilization and rationality, but in the long years, most of these city-states were captured by those more barbaric settlements, and the civilized people became slaves, or those who were truly barbaric cannibals The food of the tribe, the traces of civilization, seem to disappear completely from this planet soon, and be truly abandoned by the empire.

But at this moment, a sudden meteor shower fell. They fell from the sky and hit the heads of those barbaric settlements. The impact of the meteor shower lasted for several days, and almost wiped out the barbarians. Only the remaining ones also fled. Into a more desolate corner, lingering, and the only remaining civilizations on the planet found extremely rich and precious rare metals from those meteorites. They used this as a condition to send a message to the empire. As expected, These descendants of criminals who were originally abandoned, were immediately revived by the empire after having these god-given resources.

The Mechanicum’s exploration fleet returned here at a fairly fast speed, and conducted an in-depth survey here, only to discover that the entire planet’s underground is filled with a large number of rich mineral deposits, which were formed many centuries ago. The impact of the meteor shower, left behind.

The meteor shower, which brought abundant resources, once periodically hit the surface of the planet, but stopped many centuries ago, and the planet itself gradually became barren, eventually reduced to a barren land, and then became a land of exile. , but now, the meteor shower has suddenly returned, and the Mechanic Cult cannot explain this completely weird astral movement logic, but those among the locals, those in the religious city-states that escaped from the hands of the barbarians, and the devout believers insist that, The Emperor showered them with favor.

In any case, the meteor shower has returned, which filled the desert of the entire planet with a large amount of precious resources again. The Empire and the Mechanicus have also changed. The contemptuous attitude towards this place has immediately moved back. Excavated towns, government buildings, and corresponding defense facilities were all erected, and even a star port was established on the orbit of the planet.

Those remaining city-states were transformed into huge hive cities. They were huge and towering, and the huge structures went deep underground to connect those mine veins for development. In order to rebuild the order of the empire here, the Ministry of Government Affairs directly Appointed in the city-state, those natives formed the imperial government, seemingly completely unaware that they had been criminals exiled by themselves.

In this way, history has undergone a 360-degree change. A barren world of death, a land of exile, has become the jewel in the palm of the empire overnight, and its own exile residents have also changed. , to be a dignitary or at least a legal resident of the empire, isn’t it interesting? Many of them, before arriving here, were sentenced to be deprived of citizenship for generations. It seems that the laws of the empire are also very flexible, right?

In the red dusty sky, under the scorching sun, local native flying creatures soar in that sky, where the sky is endless, and the earth is also unobstructed. The entire crimson land is exposed below, and there are many large pits. And the remains of the asteroid excavated remain below.

Flying creatures flap their wings and soar above the sky. They form a formation that spreads out to both sides. With the help of the airflow raised by the high temperature on the planet’s surface, they can fly in the sky without much effort. .

But they are also good at making use of this point, and there is also a shuttle that descends from above. Its surface is shining with a tumbling halo, and its surface reflects the surrounding environment, so that these sensitive creatures, there is no Discover its existence until it actively lowers the invisibility field.

A wave of particles appeared on the surface of the body. They seemed to appear inexplicably from the air. Those sudden hissing warnings of particles.

But soon, as the particles fell from the arc-shaped surface, the propeller at the end also reappeared in the tumbling waves, and after igniting a powerful flame, the flying creatures were frightened in an instant and fled in all directions. , Their feathers fluttered around the shuttle, rising and falling continuously with the roiling heat waves, the shuttle flew down, passed through the feathers, and flew towards the red land.

The surface of its fuselage, reflecting the surrounding sky, and the deep rifts below, the huge impact craters, and the huge excavation rifts caused by the Mechanicum exploration ships all over the continent, seem to have nothing to do with it. A piece of flat ground, it is like a person who has been shot into a sieve by a machine gun, lying on the ground, not an inch of skin is intact.

“Technician, where should we land? The sensor system of the shuttle is a bit abnormal.” In fact, it has nothing to do with the Aquila, its sensor and scanning system are completely normal, but Yeta listened to the sky after the original line of fire. After the explosion, she actively cut off her empathy with the Aquila.

Fortunately, she cut it off in time. Even now, Yeta can still feel a burning tingling on her skin, and an even more painful touch in her brain. Her ears are ringing, and it seems that she is about to bleed. Flying it through those more raucous scenes.

“According to the information we have obtained, there should be an abandoned town on the Puntal Meteorite Plain. Where is the flat land opened up for the parking of those mining vehicles.” “What? There?” “There .”

The technician pulled up the seat belt that fixed the seat in front of him. He walked through the cabin with the data board and came to the cab. He pointed a hand from behind Yeta and pointed to the barren land in the distance. Yeta nodded, “Received , it’s over, **** it, I gotta get up and move, my **** looks like it’s going to split.”

“Aha, but I can get up first!” Destruction King was very happy, and opened the fixed seat with a showy tone. He jumped up, patted his buttocks, and then moved his arms. A full-caliber heavy logging gun was hung on his waist. That thing was originally fixed on the cart, and it took several people to move and deploy it.

But apparently, Destruction King’s strong physique allowed him to lift it up by himself. He moved the arms used to lift it, and he swung his arms sharply, almost hitting the front sight behind him. He also opened the chair and stood up. He got up and approached the window behind the seat with a sniper rifle in his hand. He looked down.

“I didn’t see any greenskins.” “Indeed, greenskins are not active here, which is why we chose to land here. The mine veins here have been developed long ago. It is meaningless for greenskins to come here.” “You really You have chosen a good place, technician, but it is also a barren place, the more dangerous it is, the temperature here is ridiculously high, standing under the sun, you will be cooked in a few minutes.” “Then you should thank your body The carapace, and the life-support circulation system inside it, can ensure that you will not be burned to death. Speaking of which, Commander, we have also prepared your armor.”

The technician said, pointing to an equipment box on the side, with the Mechanicus logo branded on it, and another eye-catching logo below, which is the logo of Kuza, which means that the equipment in it comes from those who are related to Huangquan 8 is as famous as it is, let me say, not a very good reputation in the foundry world.

“It’s so sweet, technician.” “Hey, I brought that up.” “Yes, yes, thank you for destroying the king, how about this?” Yeta blew a naughty kiss to the destroying king, who put his hands on his hips happily He laughed and hit the technician next to him with his fist. The latter rolled his eyes and picked up the data pad in his hand to check.

“My information also shows that there are some saboteurs operating in the local area. They are maneuvering around in the desert, but I believe that they will not cause any unnecessary impact.” “Even if they come, we can solve the problem.” “Of course , Hunter, of course we can, and Destroyer, I guess you can’t wait?” “Isn’t it? My **** is so stiff that I have nowhere to move.” “Then, you have a chance to move. ”

As Yeta said, there was a sense of ups and downs inside the shuttle. Several people looked at each other, and then they were attracted by a wave of fiery fire, and the door on the side was lowered. The air instantly entered the cabin with dazzling sunlight.

Outside the light, a local creature fell on the barren land. It was hunted, and those hunters stood on it, tearing off a piece of flesh and then looking at the people in the cabin of the Skyhawk, The predator on its back gulped down the torn flesh, then roared at the Aquila’s passengers.

Sitting in the fixed chair closest to the door of the cabin, he opened it backwards, and the man in the black coat stood up, his scarlet mechanical eyes staring at the creature outside, “Are you ready?” “At any time.”

Yarick asked, and what responded to him was the sound of a gun being loaded. Yarick also raised the bolt gun in his hand, and he pulled down the bolt with a power claw, “Welcome, Il Mon. Sethri.”
