Invincible after death, but in Warhammer 40K

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Fleeting Moments



After Zhang Ge got into the car, the vehicle traveled through the various Gang-controlled Zones at a speed that an average person could keep up with by jogging.

Judging from the scenery along the way, the armed forces of this Underhive gang weren't as unbearable as he had imagined. At least, they already had the rudiments of an army in terms of organization, and they also retained a lot of heavy equipment and even military vehicles.

However, considering that a large gang had existed for at least a dozen years and perhaps hundreds of years, it wasn't surprising that their thugs would tend to be professionalized.

If one were to be more precise, they should actually be closer to "rogue warlords," only their scale was too small compared to the Underhive's regular army.

This kind of professionalization was generally stronger in planets with higher war intensity. War would produce countless disabled veterans and retired soldiers. If the aftermath work wasn't done well, then many of these former soldiers who only knew how to kill would flow to other violent organizations in order to make a living.

Those who were lucky entered some security groups, and those who were unlucky naturally flowed to gangs and the like.

Over time, the PDFs on some peaceful planets might not really be as good as these highly professionalized gangs in terms of combat power if they didn't have an advantage in numbers. After all, what were said to be gang thugs inside had actually mostly become disabled Astra Militarum soldiers in different clothes and the "new recruits" they had taught.

Of course, the gangs in Sky Eagle Port were obviously not those professional colleagues of theirs who had been internally rolling for who knew how long, and the enemies they were about to face were not the PDFs on peaceful planets.

Amidst various thoughts, the vehicle had passed through layers of checkpoints and arrived outside a black fortress surrounded by round metal high walls.

Zhang Ge glanced at this side of the fortress through the car window.

In his eyes, its structure presented two simple V shapes facing different directions, and the entrance to the fortress was in the angle formed by the two Vs.

Although he could only see this part, if nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Ge estimated that its main body should have been built into a Star-shaped Bastion. Such a structure could well eliminate shooting blind spots and resist shelling.

Not paying too much attention to these things, Zhang Ge looked back at Alphie's expression before crossing the alloy gate.

It seemed that coming to the core area under her control hadn't brought her a sense of security either. Although that expression was calm, he could see the subtle trembling of limbs such as fingers.

This was not good news. If someone observed keenly enough, they could easily see that her condition was wrong.

So, after thinking about it, Zhang Ge said:

"Do you have Augmetic Limbs for the hands and legs in your warehouse?"

"Yes... is there a problem?"

Hearing this answer, Zhang Ge tapped the partition between him and the front seat to confirm its soundproofing and then continued calmly and seriously:

"Can you suppress the subtle trembling of your limbs? If you can't, then cut them off and replace them with Augmetic Limbs, otherwise, it may lead to exposure."

In a situation where there was no need to consider pity for the "cooperation" object, of course, the most efficient plan had to be considered, and any factor that might hold back should be eliminated as much as possible.

However, these caring words seemed to be understood as a threat in Alphie's ears. She shrank back, looking around as if trying to find a trace of comfort from the dense guards around her, or as if trying to measure whether the forces she could mobilize at the moment were enough to stop this demon.

"Is there a problem?"

This time, these words were continued by Zhang Ge's questioning.

"No, n-no."

Alphie finally gave up the thoughts in her mind. After inserting the Ceremonial Rod into her belt, she hugged her arms below her chest, using her movements to cover up this small flaw.

Soon, the vehicle stopped in the garage inside the fortress. The two of them entered the depths of the winding building under the protection of a group of rushing thugs and guards. Although some people were puzzled by Zhang Ge's unfamiliar face that appeared, they were all dismissed by Alphie's glances.

After arriving at her Gilded Chambers, Zhang Ge sat casually on the edge of her bed, watching her relay orders one by one through communications and finally report back to him:

"Because,"

Alphie seemed to have not recovered from the tone just now. For a moment, when communicating with Zhang Ge, she turned to the state before he had moved her. After being glanced at by Zhang Ge thoughtfully, she suddenly realized this herself, cut off the subsequent words she wanted to say, and reorganized:

"Various gangs have been attacked by unknown personnel before, and without exception, no clues have been found, so they are now more anxious than imagined. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to see them in this fortress within two hours."

"Good."

Zhang Ge's gaze continued after glancing at her:

"Amilia."

As expected, after the words fell, a tall figure over two meters tall in armor appeared behind Alphie, and the halo behind her, which seemed to be more solid than at first, emitted a faint golden glow.

It was Amilia.

"Eek?"

Alphie was startled by the suddenly appearing Amilia and slid to the side. Fortunately, her own body's balance was good, so she didn't fall.

"What's the matter?"

For Amilia, the difficulty of infiltrating this fortress was basically zero with Alphie and her party responsible for opening the gates along the way. Their crude Sensor Arrays and cameras had not even broken through the first layer of the Power Armor's Stealth Shroud. All she had to do was not make any noise.

"You go to the Conference Hall to prepare first. The Security may be Heightened after it starts."

"Understood."

The room returned to peace after Amilia left. Time passed by until Alphie received a few more communications and said to Zhang Ge with extreme caution:

"They have each entered the fortress, but in order to make them willing to set the Conference Hall in the fortress, I had to agree to let them bring in their respective guards."

"I heard it before. No need to emphasize it again."

Zhang Ge got up, and Alphie also tactfully didn't say any more. The two soon entered a slightly dim hall through the corridor.

This place was very simple. The walls, floor, and ceiling were black, creating a faint sense of depression, and in the very center was a long table. Five people had each seated in different areas, and each of them also brought about ten Personal Guards.

After a series of checks that even the owner of this place couldn't avoid, Zhang Ge followed Alphie into the Conference Hall.

"Is everyone here?"

Zhang Ge didn't continue to move forward and stopped to ask Alphie.

"Um... yes."

The Gang Leaders in the venue seemed to vaguely realize that something was wrong when they saw the two of them stop. However, just as they wanted to leave their seats, Amilia's figure appeared at one corner of the long table.

Her Power Armor palm with Magnetic Grips was pinching the side of the table.

Then, she lifted the solid metal table.

In the extremely short and dense sound of clapping, a whirlwind caused by the waving of the table swept up Alphie's hair, who was standing not far away on the opposite side.

The table, twisted into various shapes, was casually discarded.

Only when Amilia took her first step did the Gang Leader who had been smashed against the wall slowly begin to slide down. At the same time, blood flowed from his seven orifices due to the complete rupture of his body's interior.

In just this instant, dozens of corpses had been added to the Conference Hall. Many of them had been glaring angrily in Zhang Ge's direction just a second ago, but in this second, they had all turned into bizarre corpses lying everywhere, spurting out scarlet liquid.
