Chapter 453 Space Vampires

Solar star field, solar star region.

A passenger merchant ship sailing in the sea of ​​stars, an ordinary merchant ship without any special features.

On the passenger deck, a young woman and an old woman occupied a cabin alone.

The ship sailed smoothly and there was silence in the cabin.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Why did you want to erase that name?"

The young woman asked, leaning against the bulkhead.

"What did you say?"

The old woman asked calmly, looking out the window.

"Don't pretend, I saw it all,"

The young woman said:

"You cross out that name on the Ruling Sage's table."

"I'm completing my mission."

"What mission?"

The old woman looked out the window and said calmly:

"Have you forgotten our secondary goal? The Imperial Senate has approved the execution team to use all feasible means to reduce the collateral damage that may be caused by the death of the Dominant Sage and try not to affect the normal operation of the Iron Belt War Zone."

"You don't need to repeat it. Of course I remember it."

The young woman said:

"But what does this have to do with your behavior?"

"You are Vanus's planner. Don't you like to use cause and effect and logic to solve problems? How come you can't even figure this out? Qingshan Khan and his regiment have made great achievements in battle and are the main force in the Iron Belt War Zone. After the death of the Sage of Domination, what will the Mechanicus think when they see the name on the table? This is the only clue they can find. They will definitely start to suspect Qingshan Khan and may even take certain actions, which will affect the normal operation of the entire Iron Belt War Zone and even lead to the defeat of the Imperial Army."

The old woman shrugged:

"And this is why I do this."

The young woman frowned slightly:

"That being said, I feel..."

"Haha, Vanus Assassin believes in feelings instead of logic. This is the funniest joke I have heard this year."

...

The Iron Pagoda fleet made continuous subspace jumps.

Navigator Tracy is responsible for planning the sailing route.

On the border between reality and fantasy.

Sometimes jumping in, sometimes jumping out.

Finally, the regiment's fleet arrived safely at Phaeton.

…

Phaeton forges the world, biochemical forges the temple.

Fu Qinghai walked alone in the dark and gloomy corridor. Master Quinto's laboratory always had this villain style.

This place was different from other relatively clean experimental areas. Instead, it looked more like a prison. The floor was warped and sunken, as if it had just been beaten and torn not long ago. In order to prevent infection from unknown viruses, the ventilation grilles had been welded shut, and the air was filled with the stench of blood and feces.

Fu Qinghai walked slowly.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the distant corridor. The sound was a little vague and weak. An inexperienced person might mistake it for the background noise coming from the many devices in the Foundry Temple. But for Qingshan Khan, who had killed tens of thousands of aliens and traitors, he was very familiar with the wailing in pain.

There's a servo skull floating at the end of the corridor.

Fu Qinghai approached it, and the eye sockets of the skull glowed.

"Verify identity, start confirmation..."

The light scans the whole body.

"Qingshan Khan, please come in."

Servo Skull had just finished speaking.

The rear hatch slides open automatically.

"Ah——"

A heart-wrenching roar came towards me.

There was also the sound of chains being dragged and tightened.

It was a cry of pain and anger from the heart, and there was something else besides, a hoarse roar that sounded almost like an animal. Fu Qinghai had almost never heard such a sound coming from a person's throat.

In front of him was a Space Marine.

Although it was not the same as what he had known before.

The demented beast was a dark parody of an Astartes, with swollen veins threatening to burst through the skin of his forehead and neck. His irises were only a blood-red, and despite the heavy chains he was bound in, he still twisted on the floor, emitting a continuous roar. His crimson armor was stained with blood-red salt, and tattered, blood-stained scrolls of his battle oath hung on his shoulder and chest armor.

Of course Fu Qinghai knew this person.

We dealt with each other not long ago.

Nasir Amit.

Chapter Master of the Flesh Tearers.

"Subject demonstrates remarkable resilience."

In the shadows of the laboratory.

The short figure of Master Quinto quietly emerged:

"But a headshot can still kill them."

"Have you tried it?"

Fu Qinghai stared at the flesh tearer and asked.

"Yes, a subject tried to escape before."

Master Quinto spoke in a calm and even tone.

Killing a Space Marine was no burden to him.

No wonder the Black Rage Blood Angels are so difficult to deal with.

It turns out that falling into black rage has some recovery bonus.

"According to my experiments, the black rage does not always occur. Using some tranquilizers and inhibitors, we can put him in a low-level metabolic state, which can suppress the black rage to a certain extent and make him temporarily sober for a minute or two."

Master Quinto continued.

"I see."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

According to his understanding, after the Blood Angels and their successor group, the Space Marines, fell into the Black Rage, they were not in a state of violence all the time, and there were occasional moments of silence.

It is said that the Blood Angels Chapter Chaplains have mastered a method that can control or guide the actions of the Black Fury Space Marines to a certain extent - and this is the reason and basis for the Blood Angels and their daughters to deploy Death Companies as death squads. Otherwise, if the Black Fury is completely out of control, it will be a problem to load these out-of-control biochemical soldiers into the boarding torpedoes, and they will slaughter their own people before they even meet the enemy.

Blood Priests can channel Black Rage Warriors.

However, the specific method is unknown.

"Hoho...hiss!"

Nasir Amit was still rolling on the ground.

"Leave him alone for a while, Master."

Fu Qinghai said to Master Quinto.

Master Quinto nodded and activated some devices.

Various sedatives are injected into the blood vessels through the needle.

This also includes fresh pure blood.

"Huh…huh…"

The Flesh Tearers Chapter Master's voice trailed off.

The potion suppressed the black rage, and the blood satisfied the thirst.

After a long time, Nasir slowly raised his head.

The blood color in his eyes slowly faded and then returned to clarity.

"Qingshan?"

Nasir's voice was full of confusion and bewilderment.

"It's me."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

The Flesh Tearers Chapter Master looked around:

"I...I'm having a black rage attack!?"

His eyes were filled with horror and pain.

"That's right."

Fu Qinghai admitted.

Nasir Amit gasped, looking at the chains tied around his body. Although he was still wearing power armor, he could feel without exerting any force that the power backpack on his back had been removed, and the electronic muscle fiber lining did not produce any force multiplication feedback at all.

The Flesh Tearers Chapter Master suddenly frowned.

He raised his head and roared loudly:

"But you have no right to judge me!"

"I have fought for the Emperor all my life. I have fought for the Primarch and risked my life. My loyalty is unquestionable. You have no right to imprison me! Even Baal and the Blood Angels Chapter are not qualified to judge me unless the Primarch is reborn!"

Flesh Tearer yelled in anger.

As he spoke, Nasir Amit suddenly opened his mouth and pressed down his tongue. Two hidden glands in his mouth suddenly spurted out a stream of acidic saliva, which sprinkled on the iron chain on his chest.

However, what he did not expect was that the scene of the iron chains "hissing" and corroding and melting with white smoke did not appear, and his acidic saliva did not damage the chains at all.

Acid-resistant alloy from the AVP universe.

Because monster blood is used extensively as an advanced fuel to replace promethium, and monster blood is extremely corrosive, the Phaeton Foundry World began to mass-produce acid-resistant alloys. This alloy coating can even resist alien blood - alien blood can corrode an entire spacecraft.

"Stop making futile attempts."

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"Nasir Amit, your warrior lost control and attacked my warriors, but I saved you. I have not yet settled the score with you. But I am not here to collect the debt. While you are still conscious for the last one or two minutes, please remember what I am going to say next and keep it in your mind."

"I will use you and your warriors to conduct experiments to see if a serum will have any effect on the thirst. If the experiment succeeds and the serum can suppress the thirst, then I will send you back to Baal with the serum. If the experiment fails and the serum cannot suppress the thirst, then I am sorry, but I will kill all of you to pay for your sins."

"Do you understand?"

Fu Qinghai had just finished speaking.

Nasir Amit flew into a rage.

Red once again filled his entire eyeballs.

"Roar! Roar! Roar—"

The unconscious roaring and screaming began again.

"Begin the experiment, Master."

Fu Qinghai said calmly.

"OK."

Master Quinto nodded.

…

Fu Qinghai: Here are two types of vampire serum.

A serum from the Underworld universe, brought back by the potion master Camille. This serum can transform humans into vampires, bringing immortality and physical enhancement, but it is afraid of silver and ultraviolet rays, and its weaknesses are still very obvious.

One comes from the Marvel Comics Universe, and was brought back by Chapter Leader Fu Qinghai himself. This serum comes from Doctor Morbius, from the famous Horizon Labs. This serum was originally used to treat his own rare blood disease, and the side effect caused Morbius to become a vampire. Injecting Doctor Morbius' serum can bring many special abilities - low-altitude gliding in air currents, ultrasonic hearing, fast movement, enhanced strength... and although Doctor Morbius also hates silver, garlic and sunlight, these things are not lethal to him, they are just pure disgust.

There are side effects as well.

Not eating and only drinking blood is a side effect.

Dr. Night's serum also has a negative effect:

making you uglier - your cheeks become sunken and your nostrils become protruding.

It makes the human face look like a bat's face.

Black Rage involves some kind of psychic phenomenon.

Fu Qinghai is not a think tank and there is nothing he can do.

However, he had some ideas about the genetic disease of bloodthirst - Sanguinius himself did not have bloodthirst, only the Blood Angels had this genetic defect, which was related to the intense radiation environment of the Blood Angels' home planets - Baal 1 and Baal 2, which were two death worlds.

The Blood Angels could have chosen a different world to recruit soldiers, but due to the heavy losses during the Great Crusade and the Heresy, the Blood Angels began to use an instrument called the "Blood Coffin" to mass-produce Space Marines. The Blood Coffin uses a drop of blood from the Primarch Sanguinius as material, which can greatly shorten the transformation process and increase the success rate of the operation, but it will inevitably lead to the continuation of the blood thirst. Both Terran and Baal Blood Angels have this problem of blood thirst.

Master Quinto is trying to conquer his blood thirst.

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, who cares.

Anyway, the Iron Pagoda Regiment suffered no losses.

The subjects of the experiments were all members of the Flesh Tearers Chapter.

...

The Captain's room on the ship.

Fu Qinghai is talking to the players of Zero Realm Guild.

On the day of the regiment's celebration banquet, the seven-member team of the Zero Realm Guild could not attend the banquet due to their racial identity, but Fu Qinghai did not ignore them. Instead, he instructed Lin Yu to bring a batch of wine and food to their cabin.

Let them taste the specialties of Warhammer.

Having watched the boarding battle before, Augustus was shocked by the brutality of conventional wars in the Warhammer 40K universe. This tragic and cruel battlefield was just a daily routine like eating and drinking for Space Marines, so the seven-member team of Zero Realm Guild gave up the idea of ​​participating in the battle and stayed on the ship obediently.

Then follow the fleet back to the Phaeton Forge World.

"Based on my understanding of the Warhammer 40K universe, I will give up participating in this major plot event and will stay in the Phaeton Forge World until the end of the plot."

Fu Qinghai said to Augustus.

"We plan the same thing."

The Draenei nodded.

Although they didn't know the specific reason, Augustus and the others certainly didn't need to risk intervening in the plot events that the local players didn't dare to participate in. They didn't have to win this time. It was rare for someone to receive and protect them, so there was nothing wrong with staying on the battleship obediently.

"Remember the coordinates of this star map. Misty Star Region, Marcus King Star Region. This is my territory. If players from the Zero Realm Guild unfortunately enter the Warhammer 40K universe in the future, they can come here to seek my protection. Of course, you will have to pay a certain price, but we can negotiate."

Fu Qinghai pointed at the star map and said to him.

"I see. Thanks again, Aoyama."

Augustus expressed his gratitude sincerely.

At the same time, he expressed his willingness to return the favor:

"Ironforge, Stormwind, Exodar, Gnomeregan and Darnassus, the five major cities of the Alliance all have strongholds and bases of our guild. If your community players come to the World of Warcraft universe, you can also come to the Zero Realm Guild stronghold to seek help. This is my promise to you, Qingshan."

The two societies have reached a preliminary friendly agreement.

The Zero Realm Guild is one of the five largest clubs, and THEM, also known as the "Aoyama and His Friends" club, is just a small club. The two do not seem to be qualified for equal dialogue, but considering his personal strong combat power and huge influence, this agreement does not seem to be wrong.

Olivia blinked her big, charming white eyes and was very satisfied with the result. At least it was she who had been pushing for and finally making this cooperation happen.

Being able to reach a cooperation with a potential powerful player in the club will greatly help her status in the club and Augustus' status in the club.

"After careful research, we have decided not to open a base in the Warhammer 40K universe for the time being."

Augustus said to Fu Qinghai.

"A wise choice."

Fu Qinghai expressed his understanding and agreement.

"But we don't know whether other societies have the same idea. As far as I know, we are not the only society that is eyeing the Warhammer 40K universe."

Augustus said.

"It doesn't matter, let them come."

Fu Qinghai smiled and said:

"To be honest, I really hope that the Order Alliance will also open a base in the Warhammer 40K universe, so that I don't have to go to the main Marvel universe to trade equipment or exchange information in the future. It's very troublesome."

"They might have thought the same thing."

Augustus agreed with a smile.
