From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 445: Crazy Rat Engineers
Meteor Labs.

An experiment has entered its middle stage, and things won’t always go smoothly. Even a crazy guy like Victor will be troubled.

Everything went smoothly, except for the most precious test subject.

A little rat girl with smooth white hair, a precious natural warp affinity.

Even if one inherits the gift of blood, there will be differences in quantity and quality, which is unfair in itself. However, it is indeed like this. Even the great god who has been watching them for a long time has to admit that absolute fairness is difficult to achieve, even for a god.

Even that great being could only give these noisy guys the possibility that everyone has.

This little rat girl is the one who is more favored. She is a natural psychic and has a natural affinity for the subspace. This power is even too strong to be reasonable. Victor has no choice but to put a restrictive collar around her neck, a psychic collar made of ether residue that has exhausted soul energy.

He is a madman, but he is also a scholar. He is crazy and mad, but he does not want to create a work that he cannot control. What's more, this experimental product is not yet in its most perfect condition.

Emotions can become a kind of shackle, especially when facing the chaotic power of the subspace. It didn't take long before these test subjects and materials became extremely close to Victor, except for this little girl.

In that warm room, Victor rarely got angry in front of his own materials.

He glared at a little rat boy with red eyes and an extremely ferocious expression, an expression he had never shown in front of these children before. The little rat boy fell to the ground in fear.

But Victor didn't seem to stop.

He shouted in the room almost angrily and hysterically.

"Did you do this? How dare you! How dare you!"

On the other side, a white rat girl was sitting quietly on a block. Her body was wet and she still smelled of the broth.

This was an action that was caused by jealousy. Obviously, these little guys who had begun to rely on Victor were a little jealous. They were jealous that their Uncle Victor always paid more attention to this silly guy.

Rat people are the kind of people who are not very good at controlling their jealous desires.

It’s obvious that these little guys didn’t expect that their actions would anger Victor.

The little rat boy who was slumped on the ground had a crying face and tears in his eyes.

"But, but, but I just want to vent your anger, Uncle Victor!"

Amidst such a roar, looking at the tears on the face of the little rat boy, the crazy Victor suppressed his emotions. Of course, it was mainly after such a roar that the other rat children in the room became quiet, with a bit of fear on their faces.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile towards the little guy in front of him. He couldn't even remember the little boy's name, and the forced smile was a bit weird.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. It's your Uncle Victor's fault. I just, I just don't want you to make a mistake. After all, we are family!"

Such words are very effective in mending the situation after the loss has occurred.

The fear on the little ones' faces slowly faded away, but Victor was unwilling to cover up or pretend any more. He quickly came to the side of the white rat girl, to the most precious and important test subject, and asked with concern. He remembered the little girl's name, he remembered it very clearly.

"Is everything alright, Bai Fengling?"

Bai Fengling, this is a not so common name, an even very rare name among the rat people.

After all, this group of rude and casual guys really named their names casually. Rock, Soil, Ate a Few Mushrooms, Stinky Ditch, there are many names among the rats that start with these random sentences. But it doesn’t matter. For the rats, what is more important is the pendant after the beginning.

Merchant, Porter, Farmer, Kill five traitors, Captain.

This series of things are what the rat people really value.

In such a situation, a name like Bai Fengling really seemed out of place, until the little girl actually opened her mouth.

"It's okay."

It was just a very calm tone, but the voice was so clear and moving, just like the sound of wind chimes in the breeze. Well, this was even more peculiar. After all, rat people have always been a group of noisy guys. Sharp and harsh, these are the general impressions of rat people's voices.

Different.

Victor placed his hand on the little girl's head, his movements extremely gentle, ignoring the wet broth on the little girl's body, and was extremely careful, as if he was touching something precious.

"Go, take a shower, you shouldn't be dirty, you shouldn't be dirty!"

The little girl raised her head in a tone that seemed to suppress something. Her eyes were exceptionally calm and unperturbed, reflecting Victor's appearance.

An ugly crazy guy.

Not long after, Victor left this warm room. His situation recently was not good. There were also disputes and factions in the Royal Engineers Association of the Rat Empire. In other words, these would always exist as long as there were rats.

After being driven out of the Fortress Star by a group of ratmen affairs officers, these guys suffered considerable losses, especially the rising cost of experiments and the fact that some things could no longer be carried out so wantonly, which were the biggest blows to them.

The lunatics from the Inquisition also joined in the expulsion of them, which forced these rat engineers to tighten their belts recently.

The matter was not actually that serious. They were only expelled from the Fortress Star on the pretext of preventing dangerous experiments, but the Ratman Empire's support for them was still so huge.

Not to mention anything else, the prison built of ether crystals alone can be regarded as the most luxurious measures in the Ratman Empire.

But how should I put it? There are always people who want more. The leaders of the rat-man engineer faction who claim to be progressives and great scholars began to bite each other for more resources. It is a simple truth that the fewer colleagues you have, the more you can get with the same resources.

Who wouldn't be a madman? One crazy plan after another, that one is not a bottomless pit, that one does not need such terrifying resources to fill it, that one is not a wonderful future that can drive the rat engineers in charge of each project crazy.

In such a situation, they bit their colleagues extremely fiercely, and unfortunately, Victor was at a disadvantage in this mutual biting.

The Royal Rat Engineers General Council has decided to lower his resource target for the next quarter by one level, on the grounds that his Rat Prophet Project has not produced any substantial results for too long.

This made him extremely angry, but there was no way to change it. He didn't have much time left, and his experiment had to be accelerated and must succeed.

He placed all his hopes on the most precious and beautiful figure, on the beautiful angel.

Yes, he regarded the little girl in white as an angel who could save everything. He had no more chances. Those shameful lunatics would only try to bite him again and again after they succeeded in biting him, until they tore him apart completely. He would never let that happen. He was right, he was wise, he could lead the ratmen to greatness, he was the great forerunner of the ratmen empire.

With a gloomy face, he gave instructions to his assistant beside him.

"Find a chance to deal with that inferior who dared to touch the angel."

"Ok!"

"Also, I don't want this to happen even once again, do you understand?"

Under the gaze of such cold and dangerous eyes, the assistant beside him couldn't help but tremble.

"understand!"

………….

In that warm pink room, a group of rat children were playing around. There was nothing missing here: toys, food, candy, and playmates.

But not all of these children are so carefree.

Perception of the environment is a basic ability possessed by all intelligent life.

What's more, there are many things here that can make them uneasy, such as not being allowed to go out, various occasional inspections, and the cold corridor that can be clearly seen as soon as you step out of this room. Moreover, these little guys are basically psychic-friendly individuals with extremely strong perception abilities.

In some ways, they are even more sensitive than ordinary adult ratmen.

Fear, insecurity, who says children won't lie? What's more, the growth rate of the ratmen cubs is extremely fast.

Even though this time has been greatly delayed after the rats entered the space age, it is no longer as exaggerated as before. They can be sent into the battlefield in just a few weeks and reach adulthood within half a year.

The strategy of quick birth and quick death has become somewhat difficult to cope with life in this unimaginably vast physical universe. For cosmic races, moving towards longevity is an inevitable result.

In the past two hundred years, the infancy period of ratmen has been extended three times, and the average lifespan of ratmen is also extended. In the next hundred years, these two indicators are expected to be extended to the range of eight to fifty years, and the growth will not stop.

Victor pretends in front of these little guys, and these little guys pretend in front of Victor. It's a very interesting situation, but what's more interesting is that these little guys' feelings for Victor are not false.

However, this is different from Victor, the madman who thinks he can see through emotions and human nature, and that he disguises himself well and has a top-notch strategy.

The complex emotions and attachment these children have for Victor do not come from his clumsy disguise, but from a kind of admiration for his strength mixed with fear.

Victor is truly the most powerful guy in this base.

This is a kind of emotion that comes with a mixture of group desire, admiration for the strong, fear, and all these messy things. It is a very complex emotion and difficult to understand, but one thing is correct.

Even though they were psychics, favored and gifted guys, these children, who were not even ratmen, instinctively approached Victor, seeking safety and wanting to rely on Victor.

But it is obvious that such seeking and dependence is a mistake.

It won't lead to anything good.

In the corner of the warm room, there was a little girl whose soft hair had been washed and blown dry, becoming fluffy, like an oversized plush white hamster. She was really very adorable.

Especially when she was sitting in one place motionlessly.

A little rat girl approached her. This was a very abnormal situation because she had not been accepted by these children since she came here. Because she was too special, she sat in the corner most of the time.

"hello!"

The little rat girl greeted her. She turned around and looked at her. Her fluffy hair made her look extremely cute, but her eyes seemed to be always calm.

There wasn't even the slightest fluctuation.

The little girl rubbed against the big white hamster until she was hugged by the other party.

"you are so cute!"

The sharp voice said sweetly, well, the rat man's voice is indeed not that pleasant. Such an action made a certain big white hamster a little overwhelmed.

She swung her arms slightly, trying to get rid of the hug from the guy next to her, but he just got closer to her, and their faces rubbed against each other.

"It's so cute!"

Such an inappropriate action directly made the little guy lose his composure. His calm eyes fluctuated a little. He wanted to struggle, but he couldn't.

"Woo!"

The clear and beautiful voice shows that this little guy is indeed very different from ordinary ratmen.

Now, she has more vitality in line with her age amidst her struggle.

After all, he is still a little guy who has not grown up.

This scene was transmitted to a laboratory by a hidden camera, and Victor watched everything that was happening on the screen.

You have to admit that this madman is arrogant, conceited and crazy, but as a guy who can occupy a seat in the Royal Engineers Association of the Rat Empire.

He is extremely serious and careful, and will spare no effort to use all possible means to find ways to overcome the difficulties he encounters.

A guy who is crazy to the extreme, but also a qualified scholar who is meticulous and indifferent.

The technology of the Ratman Empire is constantly advancing in the hands of many crazy guys like Victor.
