Chapter 197 The Trial Results Have Different Impacts
Shock, an indescribable shock.
Half an hour later, Lin Heng knelt on the ground, looking at the 49 corpses piled up by the mechanical servants. They were all young men who had spent three months with him.
Lin Heng lost. His complacency made him lose completely. It was his arrogance that caused these young people to lose their lives.
If he had not participated in any selection from beginning to end, these teenagers might still have died at some stage, or at least it would not have been closely related to him.
But now, after three months of companionship, none of the 50 people who believed in Lin Heng have become the angels that Lin Heng mentioned.
Because that is a term used in the state religion to deceive the world and is just an illusion in people's minds.
Their naive idea that I would become an angel was defeated by the despair of either you die or I die.
And at this moment, Lin Heng seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear.
On the left was the tooth-grinding sneer, while on the right was the gentle comfort. The two were intertwined and seemed to tear his spirit apart.
But in just a moment, all the sounds disappeared, and what reappeared was the pastor's rumbling voice.
“They are not warriors, they are just products of the trials. Without the bloody trials of life and death, they can never become space warriors!
Your kindness will only hurt you, especially in the moment of battle, the real battlefield is only a life-and-death struggle, and there is no distinction between fronts..."
The pastor's words were like a wake-up call, shocking Lin Heng so much that he couldn't even kneel in peace.
"Your so-called change is just wishful thinking. The ten thousand years of trials must have profound meanings in their existence.
If you really want to make a change, please stop joking, give up any beautiful illusions, and be prepared for rivers of blood.
Because the enemy may not always come from the front, they may even stab you from behind."
The priest stopped talking. Lin Heng still had too much to understand. His growth had been accelerated, but compared to this galaxy, he was still as weak as a drop in the ocean.
"Grow up quickly, Lin Heng, because at this moment, the enemies may have gathered and launched an attack on the empire." Zakli Think Tank sighed in his heart.
Faced with a powerful enemy, Lin Heng didn't know why the other party was still able to teach him a lesson by avoiding the important issues.
This kind of mentality and this kind of steadiness made him realize that he was really naive beyond imagination.
A lucky guy who has achieved some success tries to change an existence that has stood for thousands of years. He is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or a mayfly trying to shake a tree... He really doesn't know his own weight.
“Snap, snap, snap…”
"Great! This is what an angel looks like."
Governor Darwin applauded, and the expression on his face seemed as if he saw dozens of young people in the audience turning into angels in the future.
Lin Heng gritted his teeth, not knowing whether his pain was due to the death of his soldiers or because of the face of Governor Darwin who was lying to everyone in front of him.
Lin Heng could kill an ordinary person by any means, even by standing a hundred meters away and throwing an egg-sized stone.
But he couldn't, he had already made a huge mistake, so he didn't want to make the same mistake again.
"Great angel, the trial is over. Please allow me to treat you all to a feast before you leave." Darwin walked up to Pastor Caesar and said.
Nine fully-armed Space Marines all looked at the short human. Fortunately, Darwin could not see their expressions because of the helmets.
"No thanks, Governor Darwin. It's time for us to leave. Our mission is not over yet. Forget about the banquet." Pastor Caesar declined.
Darwin made an expression of great regret, as if he was particularly saddened by not being able to see everyone off.
"Okay, I understand that the angels of the Emperor of God have a very hard time. I will send my greetings to the subjects around the world on your behalf.
However, can we give these young people one more day? I think they need to say goodbye to their parents and get the blessing of the deacons of the national religion department before they can leave Noshimo Star.
You can also go to the orbital port first. When the time comes, I will send a ship to transport everyone to the ship.
In addition, I will personally give you two more Ram landing craft, which have already been sent to the orbital port."
Landing craft capable of carrying ten Space Marines.
Pastor Caesar looked at Zachary and Frank, and seeing them nod slightly, he forgave Governor Darwin for exceeding his authority.
"Okay, that's great. Thank you angels for your forgiveness."
Darwin saluted repeatedly and immediately signaled his men to lead the group of young people who had successfully passed the trial to board the ship.
The priests and the others watched the transport ship gradually rise higher and fly away. Then the next second everyone moved at the same time and prepared to board the ship and leave.
They need to go back quickly to check the situation of the so-called landing craft. If Darwin sent a few violent gunboats, they might not be like this.
But the problem is with this landing craft, which is a vehicle used to transport assault troops. What if there are more than a dozen first-generation gene stealers hidden inside?
Once the unaware of the truth, the mecha servants placed the landing craft in the cabin, and once they found an opportunity to hide in the combat barges, it would be everyone's nightmare.
Think Tank Zakli ran quickly to Lin Heng and signaled him to get up and leave this damn place.
Once the truth comes out, there is no way the other party will let everyone leave alive.
But Lin Heng raised his frustrated face, and Zachli's words had to stop in his mouth.
"Scout Lin Heng, this is just an accidental incident, although some crises are beyond your judgment.
But please believe me, this is still under control. In the history of the empire, such things happen every day even in the corners of various star fields.
If you are defeated by such things, then the galaxy is not suitable for you, and you can only live in the corner of your illusion. "Zakli Think Tank said seriously.
The reason why any soldier must undergo memory modification is to increase their tolerance for anything.
To numb their soul, their spirit, so that no matter what happens, their mind remains stable.
Although this makes them less like humans and more like corpses that keep fighting, this is an indisputable truth.
As for Lin Heng, after returning to the barge and escaping from danger this time, he probably needs to be modified.
Right now, you are not capable of accepting the truth of the whole matter. The reason why secrets are secrets is because the consequences are not something anyone can bear... Zachli thought.
"I understand Think Tank, I just need to take it slow." Lin Heng said silently.
Just like he said before, if someone's death was caused by him, he would feel bad.
And when he left so casually, it was as if he felt that these young people would disappear with the wind. Death is not the end, but oblivion is.
"Zakli Think Tank..I don't want to leave like this."
Zachli put his hand on Lin Heng's shoulder and sighed:
“I know you must be very conflicted, but the current situation is too complicated. If we are not careful, you, me, and even the entire regiment will be in great danger.
You take sin too seriously. I think the Inquisitor sent you to Krieg to make you understand that death can be a kind of relief.
If the death of any one person can leave a shadow on your body and mind, then the things in the warp may sneak up on you.
Because they are all products of emotional fusion, not to mention that you are a psychic. A psychic who cannot control his emotions will be the favorite host of demons. "
After hearing this, Lin Heng closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to think about being possessed by a demon anymore.
"I..give me memory modification..think tank."
Everyone hurriedly boarded the Thunder Hawk gunship, and with the engine roaring, it flew rapidly towards the distant low-Earth orbit.
Only then did they see the prosperity of Noshimo, with more than a dozen ships of various sizes docked at the port.
They were all wandering merchants from all over the galaxy. Lin Heng watched thousands of boxes of goods being transported into the cabin and wondered if there might be gene stealers inside as well.
They fly to various places in the galaxy without anyone noticing, and infect several people by the time they reach their destination or while in flight.
In those few years, from a single infection caused by a genestealer, it would become an exponential explosion in numbers. And Governor Darwin had no idea how long he had been working on this.
...
“Immediately seal off hold three and send a Dean Tech Sergeant to inspect the two landing craft.
Have the choir ready, and once the barge leaves port, astropathically send the naval headquarters in Segmentum Tempest. Dispatch the navy immediately and notify the Ordo Xenos.
All crew members should be ready for battle. If we leave early, the enemy will definitely intercept us. Everyone should be ready to deal with boarding at that time."
The fifth company captain, John, commanded everyone as quickly as possible.
He never expected that there would be such a shocking secret on the planet Noshimo. Fortunately, Lin Heng discovered it early, otherwise once the gene thieves on the planet completed the infection.
At that time, the star sector would have to deal with one of the long-hungry Zerg tentacles. If defensive measures were not taken before the emergence of that kind of power, it would be impossible for any star sector to cope with it.
"Didn't you say that we should leave safely? Why aren't you waiting for even the soldiers who have passed the trial?"
Although Lin Heng was very tired and wanted to fall into bed and sleep for two days, why did the agreed method of handling the matter suddenly change?
"Since they are insects that sneak in by changing their genes, the new recruits must have been transformed by now. They are just waiting to erupt at some point and pose a threat to the ship." said the think tank.
Lin Heng didn't know why, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't guess what was wrong.
It feels like, if this is how things really developed, then the Genestealers' intentions would be a little too obvious.
While he was thinking about this, the signalman received the message and hurriedly shouted to Captain John:
"Report, Technical Sergeant Dean said that there are no living creatures in the two landing craft."
