Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"do not let me down."

"...Yes, my lord..."

"... (MD, I feel a little secretly happy)..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

City - a busy neighborhood

This is a prosperous place close to the [Nest], with all kinds of shops, offices, and normal restaurants set up here.

Because it is close to the neighborhood that is the nest of the wealthy, this place is much safer than other places in the city - at least there are many offices here.

Today, as the largest luxury goods trading venue in this area and the place with the greatest chance of living in the [Nest], it has welcomed a big business.

Piles of gems, gold and silver wares, and exquisite paintings were piled in front of the appraisers like garbage - they had never seen so many luxury goods in their lives.

These things are just a small part of the elves' treasure house, and Zhang Yi has not brought more.

"Everything, hurry up and sell it." Zhang Yi said bluntly. "I don't have that much time for you to appraise each one, give me the highest price you can offer..."

"Payment in the form of Moonstones and large Status Quo Storage Boxes. The more the better!"

． ． ． A few hours later ． ． ．

"Mad, they only bought this little." Zhang Yi said as he drove. "A largest [Current Status Storage Box] (reusable) that they could find and buy and a trailer of moonstones, I feel like I'm losing out..."

"Forget it, it's not bad to have so many. After all, for a merchant outside the Nest to be able to buy so many [Singularity Technology Products], it's already good..."

"I'm actually ready to not buy these things in large quantities, but these are pretty good..."

"Next, before the Leader or the Tuner finds us, open the door and leave..."

boom!

The sudden gunfire blew up the wheels of the pickup truck that the merchant had given to Zhang Yi, causing the entire vehicle to skid uncontrollably.

Boom--!

The pickup truck crashed into a nearby residential building, and the few residents nearby fled in all directions.

However, dozens of people did not run away, but immediately surrounded the pickup truck that crashed into a residential building, and more people were rushing over.

"After we finish this job, we can live freely for a long time!" A sturdy man came to the front of the car and said. "This stupid boy's goods can at least let us..."

Bang--!

The deformed car door suddenly flew out, cutting the man and several people behind him into two. The severed flesh slowly slid down and fell to the ground.

Zhang Yi, unharmed, walked out of the deformed cockpit. Red lines spread from his left arm and appeared on his left cheek.

"You rats, initial experience packs, scumbags with no bottom line..."

"Do you have to trouble me at this time?!"

251. More Preparation (Part )

【Mouse】

This is a name for the lower-class people in the [city]. This group of people is the least visible in the entire [city]. They need to run around for tomorrow's protection fee almost every day, otherwise they may become fresh organs on the shelves to be sold the next day.

If a group of [Rats] can gather together under the leadership of someone and successfully make a name for themselves in a small area, then they can change from being the ones who 'are charged protection fees' to being the ones who 'collect protection fees' - although even so they still have to pay money to beings like [Five Fingers].

The ones who attacked Zhang Yi were just a group of nameless gangs who were responsible for collecting money in this small area. Their boss was also a talented person. He managed to make a "gun" (which can be understood as the steel pipe pistol in Fallout). This was one of the reasons why they were able to gain a foothold in this area.

They knew about Zhang Yi's large-scale purchase of [Moonstone], and since he was alone, he became greedy and wanted to kill people and rob them - even if he had to hand over a portion of it, the remaining part would greatly improve the life of their gang.

However, they didn't know what kind of existence they had provoked...

. . . . . .

Bang—puff!

A gang member's head was as big as a watermelon after being blown up by Zhang Yi's punch. The bullets that were attacking him were enough to blow up the entire wheel, but they could not break the transparent barrier in front of him.

These unknown gang members who were fighting for their livelihood tomorrow, or simply for the chance to live a life of luxury, now understood one thing - the pretty boy who was spending money lavishly on the busy streets nearby was not a fat sheep that could be slaughtered at will, but a ferocious beast!

"quick..."

Whoosh—Puff!

A man who tried to shout and run away was beheaded by Zhang Yi who came quickly, and a huge amount of blood spurted into the sky.

At this time, nearly half of the attackers were killed by Zhang Yi and finally stopped resisting and began to flee in all directions.

However, Zhang Yi didn't want to let them go.

As the mark of Khorne on his arm flashed again, the fragments of the pickup truck on the ground floated up and, under the high temperature coming from nowhere, turned into sharp metal flying discs, which then rushed towards the fleeing people one by one.

The flying fragments seemed to have eyes, dismembering all the enemies who tried to escape, making them fall to the ground and wail in pain.

"Suck~ I'm under the influence of Khorne again." Zhang Yi took a deep breath and said as he looked at the wailing people on the base. "I guess there's also that hermaphrodite Slaanesh..."

"In this world, the four bastards in my arms are very active..."

"Yes, in this world, if you get a little excited, you might turn into an abnormality..."

Having said that, Zhang Yi looked around. There was no one else on the street that was stained with blood.

"Before the [Finisher] or something comes, carry the carriage back first..."

"I don't want to encounter a [color] or a [minion] later..."

． ． ． One hour later ． ． ．

The unknown office of the Hana Association arrived after receiving the report. In this sparsely populated area, they saw blood that had not yet dried and corpses that had not yet cooled down.

For [City], many things are ignored - indeed many anomalies are reported and people are sent to deal with them, but there are also many hidden abnormal events that are not known to people.

In this world where everyone is "sick", few people will show kindness to strangers - this is why Carmen and Ain are carrying out the "Seed of Light" plan.

"Wow, how tragic~" said a finisher who arrived here first, looking at the bodies on the ground. "It is said that he wanted to rob people, but was killed instead."

"Let's just leave it at that. Eyewitnesses around here said that the person who caused this situation was also a human-like being... maybe some special workshop weapons?" The finisher said, looking at the sharp metal pieces inserted into the stone wall not far away. "I have to think about how to write a report to the higher-ups..."

Just as the finisher was thinking about how to deal with the situation, a high-ranking finisher wearing Hana Association uniform arrived at the scene.

"There's no need to bring you over for this little fight here, right?"

"I thought so too, but..."

"[The Leader] doesn't think so."

"!"

Shocked, this was the first reaction of this low-level cleaner. He never imagined that such a thing that might happen every day in every corner of the [city] would attract the attention of those big shots.

"After a while, someone will be in charge of this matter. You need to hand over everything you have collected and keep it a secret." The high-level finisher of the [Hana Association] said. "You should know what the consequences will be if you don't follow what I said, right?"

"yes..."

Not only the bottom-level cleaner, even the [Hana Association] expressed their incomprehension of the [leader's] behavior. As mentioned before, this kind of failed robbery and counter-killing might happen every day in every corner of the [city] and should be a very normal thing.

But they didn't know that the leaders who ruled the city were not concerned about the matter itself, but about... They couldn't see Zhang Yi...

Even with the various secret actions of the [Lobotomy Corporation] and other [Wings] in the past, as well as what the [Library] is doing now, the heads of [Company A], who possess almost all the [Singularity Technologies] that exist or have existed, may not know everything about the [City] completely, but they definitely know a lot - they possess at least one [Singularity Technology] that can monitor the city from all aspects.

However, regarding this seemingly normal little matter, the [leaders] knew nothing - all the investigations into this matter using various [singularity technologies] yielded no results, only blank or useless fragments of information.

Although for the entire world, the [city] is just a small area, and there are many powerful beings in the outside world that are unimaginable to humans, but...

This is a rare case where something happens in the [city] and the [leader] has no way of knowing what exactly happened.

This is why they attach so much importance to this matter - in their opinion, that undetectable existence (Zhang Yi) is likely to threaten the [city] they control!

They must know what happened in the [city] they manage!

And precisely because of this, Zhang Yi, who appeared in [City] for the first time, also received a rating of [City Star].

【Urban Star】－－【Unknown Person】

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Zhang Yi, who returned to the 40K universe, had no idea what kind of waves he had caused in the [City]. He was now having a headache about the distribution of the items he brought back.

The [Moonstone] can enhance the wearer's mental ability and resist harmful mental attacks from the outside world. Part of it is used for research, part is given to Trazyn as a "deposit", and the other part is used to arm ordinary Astra Militarum troops so that they can better fight against demons.

And the only one that can hold all the Space Marines is the [Current Status Storage Box]... When Zhang Yi explained its function and possible principle, the eyes of all the oil men lit up!

Although the Warhammer 40K world also has things like [Standstill Stand], the current Necrons have better similar products.

However, this kind of technology from another world that Zhang Yi brought back, which is easy to carry and has an unknown energy source, seems to be unique in the entire Warhammer, right?

The loyal [Forge World] has confirmed that it is ready to use amazing equipment to exchange for this thing again...

The emperor allowed Zhang Yi to lease the item in exchange for more benefits, while also ensuring that the right to use the item remained in his hands. Even in the emperor's view, this [Current Status Preservation Box] was a good thing, and it was impossible to just hand it over.

As Zhang Yi made more and more preparations, the time for the general attack of the four evil gods was gradually approaching. More and more demons appeared on the border of the empire, and harassment and attacks became more frequent.

Within the empire, a large number of cultists who have been bewitched and corrupted by the evil gods have begun to wreak havoc on the planets belonging to the empire on a large scale, and many planets have even fallen.

Zhang Yi did provide a lot of help in the offensive against Chaos. One Primarch after another was recovered, and the entire Empire was as united as it was when the Emperor had not yet sat on the Golden Throne.

But when Chaos' strength was gradually revealed as time went by, Zhang Yi and his team found that their preparations were totally inadequate.

Comparing from any aspect, the gap between the two sides is too big...

Except for the still weak Sanguinius who was asked by the Emperor to stay on other worlds and not return, many Primarchs including Jaghatai have returned to the home planets of their respective chapters and began to suppress the riots and rebellions on the surrounding planets, but...

"I feel like everything I've done is just a drop in the bucket." Zhang Yi had a headache.

"Don't be nervous, like I said." Malcador said as he processed the documents in front of him. "Since it is certain that you can't win, don't even think about winning..."

"It is much better to do what you can do well than to do nothing at all..."

"Aren't you also patiently helping me process the documents?"

"．．．．．．．" Regarding Malcador's words, Zhang Yi really didn't want to say that Roman had reported to him more than once that the training room of Chaldea had been severely damaged recently - even though the Horus here was not the real person like Malcador, it was obvious that because of the current situation of the empire, his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

The Emperor is still wandering around the world of Monster Hunter. Although it seems that he is venting the frustration of being trapped on the throne for so long, it is obvious that he feels very regretful and angry about his inability to change the outcome of this war and what he is about to do.

"Fortunately, Lao Larou can still control himself, and he is quite sensible when it comes to hunting..." Zhang Yi said, covering his face. "At least Zulong hasn't come to protest to me..."

"He is very sensible now." Malcador said. "You should go see Guilliman. The Eldar are a force that must be fought for."

Zhang Yi opened the portal and came to the [Glory of Macragge] owned by Guilliman [Ultramarines], where a group of Space Marines had been waiting for a long time.

At this moment, Zhang Yi suddenly stopped, looked upward, and took a deep breath -

"Make trouble, make trouble, make trouble! You guys with pointy ears will make trouble whenever you get the chance, right?!"

"I don't know if you are here or can see it, but I'm showing it to you here!"

"If you dare to take advantage of my misfortune at this moment, I will place a bunch of Star Colors in your territory. Do you believe it?!"

"The human empire in this world will not be destroyed, no!"

After saying this, Zhang Yi, under the leadership of the [Ultramarines], went to the area to meet up with Guilliman.

252. More Preparation (Part )

Nuvenus

For the third time, the Regent of the Human Empire, Robert Guilliman, came to the Eldar planet to prepare for the third and final consultation.

Evelyne had repeatedly expressed her willingness to help the Human Empire, but the current situation within the Eldar tribe gave her a headache.

She hoped that the human empire where Guilliman was located could provide enough help, at least so that the Eldar she led could put aside their prejudices and listen to her unified command, and then help the empire.

After all, for the Eldar, who have just gained a little hope, a large-scale war is the last thing they want to do (backstabbing is an exception).

Humans want to rest and recuperate, and they also want to be able to do so...

Evelyne once again sat at one end of the negotiation table, and the person sitting opposite her at the other end was no longer Guilliman, but...

Zhang Yi

Before the negotiations began, a thick leather book slid across the negotiation table and landed in front of Evelyne. The name of the book was written in imperial characters on the cover.

The Dunwich Horror

"What...is this?" Evelyne picked up the book on the table and asked as she flipped through it.

"threaten."
