Chapter 622: The Devil in the Storm
"It was enough for Wang Ming to ask you to carry out the mission, why did he bring me here?"

Above the Muros industrial world, a transport plane is flying against the harsh natural weather of this world. As an industrial world of the empire, this world is the same as all the industrial worlds of the empire, with huge factories, harsh natural environment, and minerals being mined in an endless stream. The natural environment of this world has been completely destroyed by humans, and everything is based on industry and production.

In this world, there are billions of human residents living in this world. They are workers, workers in the factories in this world. Before the Revival Expedition, this world was completely synonymous with a world of death. After all, the natural environment of this world is too terrible.

Although it has not reached the standards of a true death world, the natural environment of this world is deadly enough for ordinary humans.

"It's not safe for four people to go find a Chaos Artifact that affects an entire sector. Adding an Alpha-class psyker like you is an extra insurance policy."

Rengar looked at Chen Xu beside him. He was very afraid of this humanoid nuclear bomb. If this guy had some mental problems again, the psychic spells of the Alpha-level psychic would explode here, and the entire transport plane and the large industrial park below would definitely be blown to pieces in an instant. It didn't matter if they died, they could be resurrected anyway.

But it’s not the same for Zhou Heng and those ordinary people. If they are killed by Alpha-level psychics, they will be really dead, and Wang Ming will definitely pick them out and make fun of them then.

"Okay, stop nagging. According to the intelligence we have obtained, the location of the Chaos Artifact should be in the South Pole of this world. This is really strange. How did you change the climate of this world? The environment of the Federation world is pretty good, why do you..."

Zhou Heng looked at the scene outside the observation cabin, and said to the people around him that he really didn't understand why the Human Empire did not manage the world environment. This world environment has a huge impact on human survival, and if they live here for a long time, it is likely to cause mutations or some secondary diseases.

He just didn't understand, but he knew that the Human Empire clearly had a lot of technologies that could improve people's livelihood, but why didn't they improve people's livelihood?
"For those high lords and the planetary governors on the world, these are actually some thankless things. For them, as long as the humans on the world can complete their work, it's enough."

Edway looked at Zhou Heng and explained to him why the nova governors on those worlds were so bad at managing people's livelihood. Because for them, as long as the humans on the world can complete their work, then the world is truly valuable. As for the livelihood of the humans on this world, for these planetary governors, they do not want to invest resources in these expendable people. They would rather enjoy themselves a little more than improve people's livelihood.

Fortunately, now, the east wind of the revival expedition has blown here, and the former planetary governor. Because of the harsh exploitation, the entire family has been collectively sent to the stake. Now, this world is being transformed by the mechanical teaching personnel of the revival expedition fleet, but this transformation takes time, so the environment of this world is still very bad, but in the near future, under the planetary transformation devices carried by the revival expedition fleet, this world will definitely return to the way it was before humans arrived. Although the minerals cannot be restored, the natural environment can definitely be restored.

It was because of the cultists that the reconstruction plan of this world was delayed. As the world where the Chaos Artifact was located, this world did not become a demon world entirely because of the Imperial garrison and the people's livelihood facilities and infrastructure built after the Renaissance Expedition arrived here. Like other worlds recovered by the Renaissance Expedition, this world's belief in the Emperor has reached a certain level. If it were not for the influence of Chaos, there would not be much possibility of cultists appearing in this world.

Just as the people on the transport plane were commenting on the environment of this world, the transport plane broke through the clouds and flew to the South Pole of the planet. The environment of the South Pole of this planet can be regarded as a death world. It is covered with ice and frost all year round, and the blizzard seems to never stop. The huge storm can even be seen above the planet's orbit.

The pilot of the transport plane could only send everyone on the transport plane to the Antarctic continent, and they had to go on their own for the rest of the journey because of the terrible natural environment of this world, which made it impossible for the transport plane to fly over Antarctica. The huge storm would destroy all flying objects in the air.

"so cold…"

As soon as Rengar landed, he looked at the snow scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling a chill. In fact, due to their mission environment, the standard power armor of the mortal auxiliary army on them had been modified, and he could fully adapt to the extremely cold environment, but it was just Rengar's psychological effect that made him feel a little cold.

"Come on, you're just being pretentious, look at me, I'm cold."

Luna looked at Rengar, she patted the breastplate of her power armor, and said to Rengar with a satisfied expression. You know, she was not wearing a helmet, and her long white hair fluttered in the wind and snow, almost blending into the snow scene.

"Big sister, you are a stone man but I am not. Although I am an immortal, my physical fitness is still that of an ordinary person. I don't have a body as durable as yours."

Rengar looked at Luna, and said to the stone man in front of him with a displeased face that the stone man was originally prepared to deal with various extreme situations in large-scale interstellar colonization, but he is an ordinary person. Even if he is immortal and cannot die, he is still an ordinary person. Although he can be resurrected, all his senses are the same as a normal person, and his physical fitness is not that terrible.

"Look, Edwi didn't say anything, and you, a grown man, are still saying you're cold."

Chen Xu looked at Rengar, who was not wearing a helmet either, but the psychic energy in his body could protect his body from the cold wind. He looked at Rengar with disdain, then pointed at Edwi behind him without turning his head, and said to Rengar, "Brother, why don't you look back? That guy forgot to wear a helmet when he got off the plane. Did he use his psychic energy to protect his body in time? Now he's frozen like a stick."

Rengar looked at Eddie behind Chen Xu. He looked at Eddie, who had forgotten to bring her helmet before getting off the plane and was now frozen into a hard stick. The corners of his mouth twitched, and then he spoke to Chen Xu.

"Why isn't there a single normal person in this team..."

As Rengar looked at Zhou Heng who was using a flamethrower to thaw Edwi, he murmured in pain, and the murmur was heard by Luna. Luna patted his shoulder and said something that left him speechless.

"How can a normal person carry out such a fatal mission? If Wang Ming hadn't been absent due to some matters, he would have done it."

Luna patted Rengar's shoulder and said to him with a smile. Rengar looked at the smile on Luna's face and felt that what she said made sense, but there seemed to be something strange about it.

But now is not the time for them to think too much. After Zhou Heng thawed Edwi, everyone followed the intelligence they got and began to move towards the location of the Chaos Artifact. Everyone had some experience in carrying out such missions. The only thing that made everyone a little confused was why the location of the Chaos Artifact seemed to be in such a dangerous place. Couldn't it be in the hands of a cult? Then they only needed to destroy the cult to destroy the Chaos Artifact. Was it necessary to go through so much trouble?
But even though they complained, they still needed to carry out their mission. They kept moving forward in the snowstorm. The harsh environment did not stop them, especially that lunatic Chen Xu. This guy said that he liked to walk in a straight line, and he would use psychic spells to flatten the icebergs or mountains in front of him.

The two psychics in the team were almost numb when they saw his operation. With Chen Xu's operation, they didn't have to worry about their own deaths, but there was also Zhou Heng and Luna in the team. If these two guys died, they would never be resurrected.

But Zhou Heng and Luna had already considered this. They had retreated dozens of miles away when Chen Xu opened the way. They were not immortals, so they still needed to avoid such dangerous things.

So with this destructive approach, Chen Xu forcibly built a smooth and broad road in this land of death that had not been developed by humans... well... it could barely be considered a passable road. Anyway, all the mountains along the way had been flattened by him, and there was no obstacle on the way forward at all. Chen Xu also blew himself up once because his psychic power went out of control, but that self-explosion also destroyed a mountain.

As for Chen Xu's destructive behavior of clearing the way, the other four were also very helpless. They didn't dare to have any verbal conflict with this lunatic at all. If he had a seizure, there would be no one present who could stop him. If Zhou Heng's hand speed was not fast enough, he could revive and kill him once without giving him time to release psychic spells. Otherwise, this guy would definitely be a huge threat. However, Wang Ming had considered this in advance, so he arranged a task for Zhou Heng in advance.

You know, Chen Xu, a mentally ill time traveler, possesses powerful psychic powers. Before setting off, Wang Ming had agreed with Zhou Heng that if Chen Xu got out of control, then only Zhou Heng could control him. Wang Ming also gave Zhou Heng a psychic suppressor that was newly developed by the First Engineer Corps. After Wang Ming's personal testing, this thing was found to be able to suppress the psychic power of an Alpha-level psychic.

It can be said that Zhou Heng is their biggest insurance for this mission, and Chen Xu is a war weapon that is very difficult to control. If he loses control, Zhou Heng can control him immediately.

Fortunately, Chen Xu did not show much sign of being out of control along the way. At most, his psychic power went out of control and blew himself up. Everyone just needed to stay away from him. He just blew up mountains and cleared a path along the way, and walked in a straight line without reaching the location of the Chaos Artifact.

And when everyone came to the location of the Chaos Artifact, they did not see a Chaos Artifact like a sword or an object, but a huge demon. The demon stood in the storm. The huge storm around it had no effect on it. It had even begun to affect those storms. There were some red things mixed in those storms, like a lot of flowing blood. If you look closely, you can see that the residue is not blood, but a bunch of wailing human heads.

These heads are all civilians killed by those cultists. The cultists in this world have established a very close relationship with this chaos artifact. It can be said that the reason why cultists appear in this world is entirely because of this chaos artifact. After those cultists killed those humans in the battlefields in this world, they would collect those human heads and then sacrifice them to this chaos artifact.

And not only that, next to the demon, a hill made of human skulls was built into a huge altar, and the object of sacrifice was the Blood God in the Highest Heaven!
"This scene... is really very annoying..."

Chen Xu looked at the human heads wailing in the storm. Those human souls had been sacrificed to Khorne. This was the last thing Chen Xu wanted to see. He had lived in this galaxy for tens of thousands of years. The last thing he wanted to see was his compatriots being tortured by Chaos.

Rengar, who had been paying attention to Chen Xu's emotions, and Zhou Heng, who had been paying attention to Chen Xu's movements, both noticed that something was wrong with Chen Xu. Zhou Heng originally wanted to control Chen Xu, but Rengar beside him directly gestured to him and told him to run quickly. After thinking for a nanosecond, Zhou Heng gave up the idea of ​​controlling Chen Xu and ran with everyone. Anyway, there was still a huge chaos demon in front of him, and there was nothing wrong with letting Chen Xu solve it this way.

Just as Chen Xu was looking at the Chaos Demon in front of him and was about to use psychic power to kill it, he suddenly felt a sense of psychic suppression. It was Khorne's anti-psychic spell. Chen Xu was stunned for a moment because he could not use psychic spells. While he was stunned, the Chaos Demon had already trampled him into a pulp.
