Invincible after death, but in Warhammer 40K

Since their forward speed wasn't too fast, Zhang Ge moved to a reconnaissance position roughly on the side of their direction of travel based on the source of the sound, and hid behind the sand dune there.

As the rolling dust approached, since he didn't bring any special equipment such as periscopes, Zhang Ge could only stick his head out to observe.

He saw what those sounds that seemed mechanical but didn't sound quite like it were coming from.

Hundreds of... Ambulatory Chassis?

Zhang Ge watched for a while and described it this way in his mind.

Those things were of varying sizes, ranging from two or three meters to seven or eight meters in length, and were bone white all over. They seemed to be using the bones of some creatures as their main material.

These bones were pieced together to form various simple polygons that were further combined to construct Ambulatory Chassis that had no skin and only skeletons, relying on multiple legs on both sides and the bottom to move.

Their power source didn't seem to rely on conventional power, but rather on wind power, which was why Zhang Ge hadn't heard the sound of engines.

Replacing the roar of engines was the bursts of drumming sounds brought by the unusually strong wind blowing through.

Several giant sails, like those of ancient ships, protruded from the upper ends of those Ambulatory Chassis, used to scoop up the somewhat abnormal strong winds in this desert, so as to use the wind power to drive the mechanical structures stuffed into their skeleton bodies. Their multiple legs were also driven by this. On top of these Ambulatory Chassis were some humans dressed in simple white robes. A medium-sized Ambulatory Chassis could carry a lot of supplies and carry more than a dozen people at the same time, which meant that these hundreds of Ambulatory Chassis were a scale of more than a thousand people.

What was this, a desert tribe?

Zhang Ge was a little puzzled.

But this wasn't too important. Considering the colonization history of some planets spanning thousands of years, it wasn't surprising that special social and technological forms emerged in some special landforms.

The key was, what was their purpose?

Looking at their appearance, it didn't look like they were entering combat readiness. Please don't tell me I came here for nothing.

Zhang Ge thought, while searching for the leader in this group.

Soon after, a particularly large Ambulatory Chassis, reaching more than ten meters in length, was locked in his sight.

A few smaller models with yellow-robed soldiers seemed to surround this size of machine, which seemed unable to be driven purely by wind power. They looked like the tribe's Custodes-in-Exile.

Therefore, more than twenty mutants were tied in the front, responsible for pulling the vehicle on the ground.

Apart from this, there was basically no other dedicated security force... Considering the scarcity of food and water in the desert, it was already pretty good to raise so many dozens of full-time soldiers. This situation was also normal.

However, although the overall defense wasn't strict, with the abilities of Zhang Ge and his party, it was still almost impossible to approach that leader's machine silently in this vast desert.

After thinking for a moment.

It was definitely too late to wait for Amilia's reinforcements now, so he could only find another way.

And if he took a gamble, he would have to take some risks, right?

Zhang Ge carefully examined his logic and found no omissions, then summoned the other two and said:

"They don't seem to be cultists or bandits. I need to pass through them and go to the largest thing in the center to talk directly to their leader."

Looking at the two who were observing those Ambulatory Chassis and looked a little worried after hearing this, Zhang Ge waved his hand to signal them not to speak first, and continued to explain:

"This will make them realize our abilities, and maybe we can negotiate or make them back down. At worst, we can also take hostages to delay time. It's definitely dangerous, so I'll go, and you're responsible for covering me."

These two had even less of an opinion than Amilia. After Zhang Ge finished speaking and saw that they hadn't objected, he quickly explained the plan.

In such an open area, there was no tactics to speak of. Their task was only to open fire when Zhang Ge rushed to be discovered and attacked by the enemy, interrupting the ropes used to bind the mutants, thereby creating chaos, and then providing fire cover.

As for the rest, he could only leave it to Zhang Ge's physical fitness and the other party's marksmanship.

He appeared from the ridge of the hill, slid down, feeling the surrounding hot sand wrap around his lower body, until he reached the bottom and detoured around the surrounding dunes, running quickly along the relatively flat gap.

As he ran, he realized something was wrong.

What about the promised attack? You're just watching me run over?

The speed of his run gradually slowed down until he had reached the front line of the outer Ambulatory Chassis and turned into a walk.

Zhang Ge looked at the tribal people curiously poking their heads out from the top of the fuselage, a little puzzled for a moment about what the other party was up to.

But this situation didn't last long. A small Ambulatory Chassis lowered from the leader's machine had already run to Zhang Ge's front.

This little thing was a little over two meters, with two Custodes-in-Exile hanging on each side, and a chieftain-like man and an old man who looked like a Hierophant sitting on top.

After seeing Zhang Ge clearly, the small Ambulatory Chassis quickly stopped sailing, and the two people on it jumped directly off the machine, walking quickly to meet him.

Watching the old and frail Hierophant run faster than the chieftain, he had a smile on his face, squeezing his wrinkles together, and said:

"Celestial Envoy, what is the reason for your descent here?"

Celestial Envoy?

The other party quickly noticed the doubt on Zhang Ge's face, and the Hierophant walked closer with a smile and handed over a wrinkled booklet.

Zhang Ge naturally didn't take it. After taking out the cross pendant to confirm its safety first, he took half a step back and asked the other party to open it page by page for him to see.

The Hierophant didn't refuse.

And the content in it was beyond Zhang Ge's expectations.

This format, this introduction, this layout.

Isn't this a f***ing travel guide?

The introduction on it said that this tribe believed that the never-ending sandstorm in the center of the desert was the manifestation of the will of the gods – although the word they said was Emperor, but considering that if they didn't say that, they probably wouldn't be able to live to this day, Zhang Ge felt that it was more appropriate to understand it as gods – in the mortal world.

At the same time, they also believed that Sandworms were the agents of the gods, believing that these giant worms that were not like those of the mortal world were born in the Eye of the Dust Sea.

The entire tribe of these people basically survived by relying on the legacy of dead Sandworms.

If you only looked at these, it was still considered normal, the key was the part that followed.

After that, it was written that in recent centuries, this tribe had also been responsible for providing rescue for ships that crashed around this desert where they operated, and also received the "Celestial Envoys" who fell from the sky and came to the tribe to take a look.

These "Celestial Envoys" would give them some metal Throne Gelt, which could be used to go to the surroundings of those giant mountains made of metal to exchange for the resources needed by the tribe.

He thought they were planetary natives, but he didn't expect them to be part-time cheap rescue teams and tourism projects, no wonder this Hierophant's common language was so fluent, and they could maintain a scale of more than a thousand people in the boundless desert.

Looking at it this way, they were attracted by the commotion of the previous fleet crash? But in that case, why were they heading straight for the Sandworm?

Zhang Ge asked:

"Then where are you going now, and what is your purpose?"

Hearing this question, the Hierophant's expression became serious and he replied:

"We heard the Sandworm's vibration, we heard his call... but this is not a good thing now. With such a big action, the Green Tide that is so keen on hunting Sandworms will follow closely. We must divert the Sandworm as soon as possible to prevent him from drowning in the tide."
