This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 71 False Hope

"Yulia, shoot, shoot those thugs down, don't let them in!"

Outside a three-story building that was built as a temporary fortress, Price shouted towards the front.

As he finished speaking, a long tube extended from the observation window in front, and steel nails pushed out by electromagnetic force shot out continuously, piercing into the bodies of the refugees and stopping their crazy tide.

Then Price quickly broke free from the crowd, and his old body was as agile as a monkey as he climbed over the five-meter-high wall.

More than a dozen skinny refugees tried to climb up, but they fell on their companions and rolled down under the influence of gravity, accompanied by flying blood and steel fragments.

The refugees who were surrounding the street did not do anything extreme after watching the old man disappear. They rushed forward like locusts and dragged away those who died from being trampled or hit by steel nails. Then the street fell into silence.

They had no intention of forcing their way into the villa.

In other words, breaking into the villa and getting food is much more difficult than eating the corpses on the ground.

wow-

He bypassed the trap he had set and put the backpack upwards. The vibration of the weight crushed the empty cans, and they rolled to the ground.

"Whoo~"

Price breathed a sigh of relief tiredly, and just as he was about to lean back on the sofa, he felt a sharp pain in his back.

A knife lodged in his shoulder blade.

He reached out and touched it, but the angle of the blade entering the flesh was very tricky, and he couldn't pull it out without causing secondary damage to his body.

Hey ~
The old man sighed. He was actually injured in such a small battle.

He is old too.

"Dad, are you hurt?"

Yulia noticed the old man's embarrassment, quickly turned off the motor which was running low on energy, and trotted over.

She first confirmed the direction of the dagger's insertion, then pulled it out along the original angle. After using the sunlight to confirm that there were no blasphemous patterns or unusual colors on it, she pushed aside the alcohol tray containing the scalpel and picked up the hemostatic gel.

Thanks to the sacred profession that my old father used to engage in, this three-story building is not short of military supplies.

"Dad, why don't we go to the community."

While treating her father's wound, Yulia couldn't help but speak.

Although those masters who monopolized food and weapons were scum, they could ultimately provide my father with a stable job.

"And I can fight, and I can shoot."

"No."

Grabbing the water and taking a sip, Price refused directly.

He looked ahead and saw a woman walking down from the middle of the building.

"Uncle Price"

The woman holding a three-year-old girl spoke immediately.

She pursed her lips, but Price interrupted her first.

"Cornwall joined the Planetary Defense Force at my suggestion. Now that he's gone, it's my duty to protect you."

Price shook his head slightly.

The atmosphere in the house fell into silence again.

"..Sorry, Sister Sofia, I don't have any objection to you, I just hope that Dad can be under less pressure."

After wrapping the gauze, Yulia quickly explained.

"It's fine."

Sophia held the child tighter in her arms.

She knew that her uncle's family were all good people, but she was disgusted with herself for being useless.

Those communities will not choose to bless two burdens.

and.

The old man's eyes fell on his daughter and Sophia, and he sighed softly.

Even if those gentlemen were willing to accept it, he would not agree.

They are so beautiful.

"Isn't there the Divine Emperor Sect? As long as you go and listen to their teachings, you can get food. You'll also be escorted by fellow believers, so you won't have to worry about mobs."

Yulia persuaded helplessly.

"Even Karian next door, that dandy kid, was able to join the church, and he became much more polite after joining."

Yulia gave her own example.

"Don't bother me anymore."

"No, you can't go!"

Compared to those guys in the community, Price was more wary of these pagans.

"Hey."

Yulia sighed. She didn't know how many times she had said this to her father.

But Price always refused bluntly.

She didn't understand. Even if they didn't join the community, there was nothing wrong with letting them go to the Divine Emperor Sect. After all, the people they dealt with were all very good people.

At most, there is a kind of mysticism that likes to wrap oneself in a robe.

She just didn't want her father to be so tired every day, running far away to work for the old men in the community, and then taking risks to rush back.

"Little Erica," Price gently asked the little girl in Sophia's arms without arguing with his daughter on the subject.

"Is Uncle Karian still the same in your eyes?"

Karian only comes home during this time every day, and for the girls' safety, Price will choose to come back before him.

Got delayed unexpectedly today.

"Yes, that uncle, he is completely different from when we first met."

The little girl raised her head, revealing her silver eyes.

"Completely different from the changes in Grandpa Price and Mom."

"Ah."

Price nodded, becoming more wary of the so-called cult.

He had some knowledge about psychics. The little girl was very stable, just like her grandfather who had hidden in their group and saved them dozens of times.

Sometimes it's necessary to believe the world as seen by these psychics.

"Ahhh-"

Just as Price was about to end this heavy topic, a terrible howl was heard.

It's Karian.

Price had a very bad impression of the child of his deceased colleague. He thought he was a gangster who relied on his parents' influence to do evil things.

"Take the child to his room."

Raising his hand to signal the girls to go to the room, Price picked up the handmade bolt launcher and ran to the observation platform on the second floor.

squeak-

As soon as Price lifted the stacked steel plates, he saw a swift figure rushing from the house next door to the outer courtyard.

The black-robed figure noticed Price immediately and rushed towards him like crazy.

boom!
Price fired without hesitation. The recoil of the explosive bullet shook his entire body, and then the bullet tore the attacker's chest area into pieces.

Puchi~
Karian fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Price did not step forward, but instead picked up a folded long pole, reached into the courtyard and picked up the torn black cult uniform.

'really. ’

Seeing the scene below, Price couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't give in and that his daughter was obedient enough.

Under the gray robe was a purple-skinned alien with an unnaturally curved skull and arms that had turned into claws.

On the alien's wrist, the military badge that once belonged to his comrade-in-arms revealed the alien's identity.

Price frowned, picked up a nail gun and broke the glass of Karian's house, then picked up the telescope and looked.

The dining area had a fair amount of bones, a shape that Price was familiar with.

Now I can explain where the old and weak humans who entered the cult went.

After resolving the threat, Price, not wanting to create any more trouble, turned around and felt a stabbing pain in the wound on his shoulder blade.

Looks like it needs to be bandaged again.

"dad."

Yulia asked nervously:

"That's Karian, right?"

"."

Price remained silent.

Yulia covered her mouth and then squatted down. Tears welled up in the eyes of this girl who always appeared strong.

Once again, Dad was right.

But why is this result so despairing?

Price walked forward and ruffled his daughter's hair.

"Dad, can we survive?"

She hummed.

"of course."

Price nodded and replied seriously: "Don't give up hope."

"Ah."

"Let's go eat first."

"Ah."

Yulia sobbed a few times, then wiped her tears and walked down the platform.

Price leaned against the observation window, holding his gun, and watched the girls go downstairs, then turned his gaze out the window.

He has recently been investigating the access to the state religion's shrine. His daughter and niece's genes are very stable, so as long as he covers little Erica's eyes, seeking protection will not be a problem.

What matters is how to cross those dangerous blocks.

There was another sharp pain in my shoulder blade.

Price rubbed his shoulders.

He won't die until his children are safe.
