Warhammer Seal

Chapter 440
A few corpses were already highly corrupted, except for a little bit of broken flesh still hanging on the bones, the whole body had been gnawed clean.

At his feet lay a handmade rifle, broken in two.

Fortunately, some scattered bullets can be recovered, all of which are standard gunpowder bullets, matching Wende's rifle.

"It seems that the effect of live ammunition weapons is very poor. Is the gene stealer covered with a layer of chitin bone?"

Wende has reasoning ability and can formulate his next plan according to the situation on the battlefield.

"I'm not sure, but based on intelligence, it is speculated that the appearance of gene stealers is very similar to that of humans."

Then the situation is complicated.

Wende is not afraid of those strange things, nor is he afraid of the demons coming from the subspace, but he feels that one kind of enemy is difficult to deal with.

That is the enemy lurking within humanity.

Whether it is a traitor within a human being or a spy disguised as a human being, it is very difficult to solve.

I only have an anti-psychic stance, and there is no way to break through the penetration of the genetic level or the technological level.

There were footsteps on the ceiling and the sound of metal scraping against the floor.

Excited, Wende picked up the weapon and looked at the top of his head, only to realize that the top of his head was only the bottom layer of the hive city where living people lived.

I'm a little nervous, but the situation is a bit wrong. If this is really the entrance to the gene stealer's lair, why didn't anyone intercept the trap?

With doubts, he held his gun and continued to walk deeper. The improved rifle only served as a spear and a flashlight in this narrow sewer.

Wende's left hand was always on the dagger at his waist. This dark and narrow space really tortured people's spirit every minute.

A light-transmitting iron door seems to be a construction site in full swing. There is no sound of killing or hatred, but it is full of people singing and talking.

"Ai, are you still unable to turn on the scanning system in the underground space?"

"That's right, I can't scan here, you can only observe with the naked eye, don't worry, the power armor can withstand the impact."

call. . .Taking deep breaths three times in a row, Wende put away the Improved Rifle VII, held the dagger in his right hand, and slowly opened the iron door with his left hand.

A huge underground space appeared in front of him, and it was actually an underground bar.

There are many people sitting there drinking, resting and entertaining and communicating, forming a huge difference from the quiet and terrifying sewer outside.

The people sitting at the door spotted Wende without showing any hostility.

This can also be regarded as a weakness of Wende, he has no way to attack those who are not hostile to him, even if the identity of the other party has not been determined.

But one thing is certain, this is really just a very ordinary underground bar.

The bartender behind the counter is carefully listening to the orders of the guests, and then mixes the most suitable alcoholic drinks. The dancers and drinkers are also very careful, only acting in their own space, without affecting the behavior of others at all.

When they looked at Wende again, they didn't show any hostility, fear, or even curiosity, as if nothing could disturb their lives.

As they kept walking forward, some people would kindly make way for Wende. Even if they accidentally bumped into each other, the other party would say sorry first.

This place seems to be a very harmonious underground space, a perfect shelter and paradise, which is very different from the lower level of the hive capital.

At least it feels quite warm. If there are gene stealers infiltrating this place, there should be corpses and blood organs everywhere. Perhaps the place where the infection occurred is not here.

Old rules, a glass of wine, a well-informed bartender can gain enough knowledge.

"A glass of wine, the extra is your tip."

At least in the aspect of spending money to buy information, Wende has never been stingy, and he paid ten copper coins every time he made a move.

Soon the bartender finished making a glass of wine, and slowly pushed it in front of Wende, along with the ten copper coins.

"We are all family members, and I will not charge you money."

This move is a bit surprising. You must know that in the lower hive capital, at least three copper coins can be extracted as a tip out of ten copper coins, which is the daily income of an ordinary worker.

Moreover, there is no charge for this wine?

It's a bit interesting, Wende still drank it down, feeling that the taste is not bad, but it still has a harsh mouthfeel.

Maybe it's because the lower nest doesn't have any equipment, no matter how many times it is purified, it can't remove the impurities in the clean water.

"Do you still need a refill? Everything here is free, because we are all family members, and we should really take a good rest after working hard."

This kind of enthusiasm surprised Wende. He didn't expect that there was such a utopian society at the bottom of the hive city, where everyone was allocated according to their needs.

However, the bartender's eyes looked a little piercing, maybe it was because he hadn't been exposed to sunlight for a long time, and his skin color was also very light.

In addition, Wende never likes to take advantage of others, and he never asks for a second time for free things, so the problem of continuing to drink is avoided.

I came here to find information.

"Has there been any accidental death cases here, such as marks on the deceased's body, but it is obviously not a knife, but claws? I'm here to investigate the case."

Fake the identity of a detective for yourself, so that it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of the bartender. Anyway, dead people and investigating dead people are very common in the lower nest.

"No, all of us love each other and never attack each other. If outsiders attack us, we will choose to retaliate with virtue."

This is true, everyone in the bar has a smiling face, which is completely different from the human faces seen in the hive along the way.

To be honest, after passing through so many planets and seeing so many humans, Wende has never seen a smile on a human face, except for this bar.

Moreover, their attitude towards themselves was also very good, and they did not show the slightest hostility because they were wearing power armor and had a gun on their backs.

At this moment, a burst of relaxing music came from the stereo above the head, followed by a woman's voice, which, I have to say, was very kind.

"Family, the rest time is over. Now go back to work and start working overtime."

ah?What do you mean by compulsory overtime?
You must know that the daily working hours of the workers in the imperial hive are almost the same as the day. Why do these people have to work overtime?
Could it be some kind of huge black factory of illegal props in the lower level of Hive Capital, which needs to go to work and produce when others are resting?
Wende immediately patted the bartender.

"Can I participate in compulsory overtime work? Literate, able to work, and educated."

The bartender didn't show any unpleasant expressions, as if their so-called compulsory overtime work was just ordinary overtime work.

"Of course you are welcome to join, and at the same time I hope you can join our big family, so that each of us can become a family."
