Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Night City Psychological Rehabilitation Center, Eastern Santo Domingo

The elite Star Army mowed down all the resistance forces in this hospital, which was not clean in secret and in public, one by one like mowing the grass.

During this time, Zhang Yi was flipping through the information extracted by the technical soldiers.

In front of him, the only living person in the hospital was trembling.

"...got it." Zhang Yi said as if he had seen what he wanted. "Gloria Martinez was sent to the hospital on X month X day, 2076..."

"Because he was judged to be worthless, he was used to test a new drug. He died the next day from the side effects of the drug, and his body was sold to a scavenger..."

"It's none of my business. I'm just a doctor. I..."

"Hey, look carefully, you are her attending physician." Zhang Yi said, looking at the panicked black-hearted doctor in front of him. "That's David you received, right?"

As he spoke, a fireball appeared in Zhang Yi's left hand, reflecting the doctor's frightened face.

"Nice to meet you, and..."

"Goodbye~"

Bear--!

The screams of pain resounded throughout the hospital and lasted for a long, long time...

160. A miserable group of people

Cyberpunk 2077

Hmm... It's not even 2077 yet, maybe 2075 or 2076?

After all, now is the period when the little guy David is active. At this time, he should have just joined Mann's team not long ago.

This world was not the one Zhang Yi chose for Guilliman and his men, but the one that the Mechanicus faction requested.

After purchasing goods from this world before, the people of the Mechanicus became very interested in this world - the technology and various creations of this world.

They initially determined that this world was very suitable for supplementing the various basic technologies that were missing in the human empire. At the same time, the various black technologies located in the [Old Network] were also what these oil guys wanted.

However, because they still don't know much about the dark side of this world, they decided to investigate this world first - to see if this world is worth sending the [Intelligent Legion] to occupy, or if it is not that valuable and they can leave after obtaining some things - after all, the malicious AI in this world are running around everywhere.

During this time in this world, the mechanical priests headed by Kadoc accepted Zhang Yi's suggestion and established a company called Martis in order to better operate in this world.

The company's business covers many aspects, but the most important ones are security and transportation. Of course, it is kept confidential within the company.

The same is true for cooperation with Arata. As one of the most influential super-enterprises in Night City, it is not conducive to openly becoming an enemy of it - as long as the people of the Mechanicus do not intend to turn the entire Night City upside down.

As long as you are given some backward technology that will not expose yourself, you can do your own thing safely, and you can also get some technology or creations that are difficult to obtain on the market, why not do it?

And because of this, Zhang Yi was fortunate enough to become a "corporate dog" in this world.

To be honest, it's great.

After confirming the time again, Zhang Yi led the team to take out the hospital that was considered to be black-hearted in the original work, both in the animation and the game. It was the one that rescued Gloria but failed to save her. This could be considered revenge for David, whom he had never met.

After obtaining internal information from the hospital, this was confirmed. This company would experiment with various drugs on ordinary patients who came here, and sell some of the bodies to scavengers.

After that, Zhang Yi received a surprising piece of news on his way back.

[David and Lucy were caught stealing a priest's chip]

"...these two naughty kids..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Suspension train, another day as a social animal

At least that's the case for most people.

Huangban, military technology, or low-level employees of Kangtao once again boarded the public transportation and started a new day of travel.

Outside the window of the train, two airships belonging to the [Trauma Team] flew past and headed towards a tall building not far away. It was estimated that another big shot had gotten into trouble.

When thinking of the [Trauma Team]'s [Platinum Package], with its string of zeros, most office workers can only express envy, and just do their own work honestly~ I have to hand in a report today... Oh my god! Where's my chip? !

The passengers in this train discovered that the chips on their necks were missing one after another, and they wailed or cursed.

The instigators of all this - David and Lucy, had already taken the chips and went to another carriage.

Looking at David who seemed to be trying to please her, Lucy also revealed a faint smile. During this period of time, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.

But in some ways, it also proves Lucy's superb hacking skills and the power of the military-grade [Sianwestin] - once this prosthesis is turned on, it really looks like teleportation in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Stop grinning, just do one more round and then leave." Lucy looked at David and said, "Someone should be coming to see us soon."

"receive."

An accident brought these two people who originally would not have had any social interaction together, and they even became teammates and friends.

As a cyberpunk, David has made rapid progress and has become accustomed to everything that is required of him in the team. On the other hand, Lucy has gradually begun to accept this former "good student" of [Arashiban Academy].

"That person is...?"

At this moment, they both looked at a hunched man not far away who was wearing a cloak with the Maltis Mars logo.

"Martis?" David muttered as he looked at the words on the cape. "Is this the new company that's been showing on TV?"

"Why do you care so much? They are the same as Huangban anyway." As a former Huangban company property and a human excavator, Lucy has no good face for almost anyone or anything related to Huangban. "Same as always, I'll let his chip pop out, and you go get the chip."

"Oh."

As light appeared in the pupils, indicating the beginning of the invasion, a stream of data began to try to silently invade the prosthetic body of the Maltis employee.

[Discover unauthorized access and start countermeasures]

"!"

It's sizzling!

A bolt of electricity directly interrupted Lucy's invasion and temporarily overloaded her invasion components.

"Lucy!"

call out!

A cold metal claw grabbed David's neck, and at the same time another metal claw stopped in front of him, and a sharp spike stopped in front of him.

The speed was so fast that David had no chance to use his [Sian Westin].

Moreover, this series of actions of this seemingly weak humanoid creature did not attract the attention of other people in the carriage.

"Two...special thieves?"

The mechanical eyes flashing red, and the unidentified prosthetic head covering half of David's face that made him shudder.

This is a Mechanicus priest who went out by chance. After completing his mission, he took this [Hybrid Train]. While walking back, he was also able to study the structure and operation of this means of transportation.

Then, Lucy and David hit the iron plate of his, the kind that made their feet swollen from kicking it...

To be honest, even if the priest killed the two thieves here, it would not be a big problem. Maltis established by the Mechanicus could solve all subsequent problems very well.

However, because Zhang Yi specially added David and his group to the list of special personnel in this world, he did not kill them immediately.

He planned to ask first.

"Get off with me at the next stop." The priest said to David, who was sweating profusely. "You can refuse..."

"But then there would be two bodies in this car..."

. . . . . .

Hidden corner of the station

[For my sake, please let them go] (Zhang Yi)

[Ten toasters, others are fine] (Zhang Yi)

"...You guys go now." The priest released the metal claws holding the two men, and then turned around to leave. "Next time, be more careful..."

Seeing the person who controlled them and then let them go inexplicably, who was suspected to be a senior official of Martis, the two felt relieved but also extremely confused.

"Are you okay, Lucy?" David, who had regained his freedom, came to Lucy and asked.

"It's okay..." At this time, Lucy was looking at the man who was slowly leaving, feeling uneasy.

【Why would he let us go? 】

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

A marginal planet in the human empire star zone.

Giant worm-like aliens are wreaking havoc, devouring humans who are fleeing in fear one after another.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of a grenade launcher firing was heard, killing the worm, but it also attracted the attention of more other worms.

"I can't fix the Elder's leg system! We need to get the Chapter Master out of here!"

"We're surrounded!"

"The group of aliens are surrounding us."

The Astral Knights, once a lone ship, plunged into the Necrons' World Engine and destroyed its shield system, allowing the other ships around them to completely destroy the behemoth.

However, such a great war group did not receive the treatment they deserved - they were assigned by their brain-dead lords to carry out the so-called "suicide expedition".

The [Astral Knights] accepted this unfair assignment and embarked on an expedition with no return, carrying their only fearless mechas and new recruits.

Now, it seemed their journey had come to an end.

After sailing for a long time, their ship was overwhelmed and had to make an emergency landing on the planet.

There are huge, non-intelligent worm-like creatures on this planet, which have been attacking the residents here for a long time. As the Emperor's blade and the heir of Dorn, the [Astral Knights] took the only remaining troops - a Dreadnought and eight Space Marines - and began to help the humans on this planet.

However, all was not going smoothly, as the aliens were much more powerful than they had imagined, and their weapons lacked maintenance and sufficient ammunition.

Now, the Chapter Master's Dreadnought was paralyzed and unable to provide help, three Space Marines were melted by the worm's acid, and the only five remaining Space Marines had used up their last bullets and were surrounded by hundreds of giant worms.

It seemed that everything was over. The Space Marines of [Astral Knights] threw away their weapons that had no energy or bullets left, took out their melee weapons and even a large rock on the ground, preparing for the final fight.

Whoosh—bang!

At this moment, a blue airdrop pod dropped from the sky and smashed a worm that was trying to pounce on the [Astral Knights], and then several Space Marines from the [Ultimate Regiment] walked out of it.

More space capsules fell, and the Space Marines that came out of them immediately began firing at the surrounding alien species.

"You have done a great job." A veteran soldier from the [Glory Guard] wearing a laurel wreath walked up to the leading veteran soldier from the [Star Knights] and said, "Now I have a new mission for you..."

"Sons of Dorne, it is not time for you to return to the Golden Throne!"

161. New 'Atonement Expedition'

A few months later, Holy Terra

There were only a few people left in the [Astral Knights] chapter, and they never dreamed that they would be able to come to the origin of mankind in their lifetime and accept the summons of the Primarch.

Although not their original body...

Summoned along with them were the Blood Angels' sub-group, the Lamenters.

"It's really spectacular to see a group of men several meters tall crying together..."

This group of unfortunate Space Marines started crying at the very beginning when they learned that they would go to Holy Terra to accept a mission from the Primarch.

"Our Lord Saint Guinness, we have been summoned, the Holy Emperor has not forgotten us (crying)..." (A Lamenter Space Marine)

"...it seems like you guys cried all the way here..." (Zhang Yi)

At this time, many different Space Marine chapters, including the [Wailers], [Astral Knights] and [Scythes of the Emperor], gathered on Holy Terra. They had all received orders to go to Holy Terra to carry out a special mission.

The current Imperial [Regent], Robert Guilliman, received these Space Marines from different chapters, praised their loyalty, and pardoned the "sins" of some chapters - some powerful nobles or supreme lords, who cannot be touched at this stage as the situation is still unstable.

Guilliman was naturally troubled by this situation, and even he felt powerless about the current situation of the Empire - the most terrifying thing was not that a high-level official, a noble, or a lord was hatched and then committed a series of horrific events, but that he was not corrupted and still committed a series of horrific events.

Just like the issue of [Astral Knights], even with Guilliman's intervention, those people were still unwilling to give in completely, on the grounds that they believed that these Space Marines who had penetrated deep into the enemy camp posed some unforeseen dangers.

"One day, I will hang all these parasites of the empire!"

Changing the topic, after Guilliman, as the [Regent], finished his speech, Zhang Yi, as one of the main persons in charge of this mission, stood in front of many Space Marines.

"We are going back to another universe to carry out our mission. Our goal is to acquire as much technology as possible from that universe and to occupy as many planets as possible..."
