Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 1136 Old Friend
……

Tyrone One.

Residential District No. 44.

A circle of circular buildings surrounds the entire residential activity area.

People gathered in the activity area, adults held their children, the elderly were supported by the iron man, and everyone in the entire residential area stood in the camping square in the center of the forest.

An extremely realistic projection, magnified several times, is being presented to everyone.

It was a scene where an old man who looked very old was fighting with an alien beast as big as a tank.

That's Grote.

As the protagonist of this projection, Groot is currently holding a child who is probably only six years old, standing in the crowd and watching the projection with others.

Anyone could tell that the child in Groot's arms was definitely not his grandson, because the child's ears were particularly big, and Groot's ears were not that big.

But no one cares.

Everyone focused their attention on the image, on Grote's past.

The main perspective of the projection is a girl with a security recorder hanging on her chest.

"Stop filming! Get up and stand aside!"

Grote yelled at the girl.

The main perspective immediately moved up and then fled backwards, but the recording continued.

Groot turned around, picked up a rolled axe from the ground, and looked at the alien beast that was staring at him.

The beast's limbs were tense as it accumulated strength, and its thick blood vessels were visible on its body in the form of terrifying lines.

Just by seeing the projection of this ferocious beast, the people present almost stopped breathing.

"You damned beast!"

"I will dig out your eyeballs and roast them! I will dig out your bones and the elements in your body to make an axe that will never curl!"

There was a laceration on Groot's face from his chin to his forehead, and his skull was even exposed in the wound, which was bleeding, but he seemed to ignore the wound and roared at the beast.

It made one wonder if this old fellow’s courage was greater than the tank-sized beast across from him.

The beast seemed to be enraged by the human's arrogance. It opened its bloody mouth and foul breath and blood gushed out from the gaps between its chainsaw-like sharp teeth.

Groot was also enraged. He opened his mouth and roared at the beast.

The man and the beast roared at each other for a while, and then began to attack each other at the same time.

Groot swung his axe, but was swallowed by the beast the moment he was ready.

The people watching the projection were stunned for a few seconds, and then looked back at Groot at the same time.

Grote gave an awkward smile.

The beast in the projection rushed towards the girl after swallowing Groot, but suddenly stopped halfway and let out a painful roar.

The beast's body trembled, as if something was cutting its neck.

Finally, an arm came out of the beast's eye. Groot threw the bloody axe through the eye and used his implanted arm prosthesis to frantically cut the beast's brain, howling and tearing flesh like a madman.

Finally the beast lay prone.

Groat emerged from the beast's eye.

He walked towards the girl.

Covered in blood and flesh.

There was also a laceration on the face extending from the chin to the top of the head, and the white skull was vaguely visible through the wound.

The girl was obviously terrified and crawled backwards crying.

Groot sighed, his shoulders slumped, as if helpless, then he quickly walked to the girl and grabbed her arm: "Were you hurt just now?"

The people's cheers began when Groot's arm pierced through the beast's eye and continued until the last moment.

Grote smiled and bowed slightly to everyone.

People were discussing Grote's performance in the square, but Grote no longer cared about it. He held the child in his arms and left quietly.

Grote sat down on a patch of grass in the forest, took out an ice cream from his arms and handed it to the child.

"You are still as majestic as ever."

Groot heard someone talking behind him. He turned his head inadvertently and was stunned.

Qin Mo was wearing casual clothes, leaning against a tree, holding a bottle of carbonated drink with the "Excellent Drink" logo on it and drinking from a straw.

"Zizzi-zizi-"

"Cool……"

"No wonder this drink sold out in the frontline war zone, and no wonder its founder was willing to sell it in the trenches on the front line."

Qin Mo finished his drink and threw the bottle away.

The bottle melted in the grass.

"Why are you fighting with the beast again?" Qin Mo walked towards Groot.

Grote stood up subconsciously, and then answered: "I originally wanted to farm on the border of Tyrone. There were such beasts on that agricultural world. There were too many beasts, so I had to come back in the end."

"I heard that the knights of Donna's family are now killing giant beasts on those newly colonized planets." Qin Mo sat next to Groot and took the child in his arms. "The world you went to didn't encounter Donna's family, nor did you encounter Tyrone's cleanup fleet."

"I am one of the first colonists." Grote shrugged helplessly. "Except for an old fool who bought a transport ship and dared to explore the primitive world outside Tyrone, and a seven-year-old Cadian girl who secretly boarded the ship at the starport, there is no other idiot willing to go down and explore the colony before the cleanup fleet arrives."

Qin Mo smiled and nodded, thinking that Groot's adventurous spirit would never change.

Grote was talking about his own affairs as if reminiscing about the past: "Then I realized that I was looking for death, so I sold the boat and bought tickets for me and the little girl from the Empire who got on board to come to the Tyrone One. I originally wanted to buy her a house here, but she said she just wanted me to give her some money to help her buy tickets for six people to come to the Tyrone border."

"Is the girl in the video a Cadian?" Qin Mo was a little surprised. "Wasn't the Cadian galaxy aided during the Golden Expedition?"

"A war orphan." Grote spread his hands. "During the war, Cadian soldiers would rather ask the transport line to transport an extra pair of gloves than to transport some birth control supplies for themselves. I guess the little guy got lost when his parents moved to the war zone, and he huddled together with several other lost children for warmth."

Qin Mo smiled. "The Cadians really don't like family planning. Creed's deputy Kyle once told me that if Cadian male and female soldiers fall in love with each other, they will reproduce in order to increase the number of troops. As for how to raise them, it doesn't matter. They just stuff them into tanks, ammunition boxes, and a mouthful of military rations after the battle. As long as they can survive, that's fine. Kyle said that the Cadians believe that a Cadian child can grow up to be a warrior no matter what."
