Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 68 Telepathic Space Ape
On the isolated J-005 deck, sixteen space monkeys were dispersed, each ten meters apart.

They stood with their hands hanging down, like statues.

After resting, the energetic Malena, Wojciech and Gülgül stood on both sides of Nimrod, looking at the strange creature in front of them with curiosity.

"Put the waste in front of them."

After Nimrod gave the order, sixteen skilled workers immediately pushed a garbage truck full of waste in front of the space monkeys.

Before they could retreat, the statuesque space apes sprang into action, their manufacturing genes implanted by the Old Ones driving them into action.

The fingers and toes of the space monkeys kept stretching and retracting, turning the garbage in front of them, including the carts, into scattered parts at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The orange figure rose and fell in the garbage, Wojciech's eyes widened and his mouth opened subconsciously.

He saw ape-like creatures whose hands and feet were like mechanical tentacles controlled by sages, performing a mechanical dance.

The garbage materials, which had no value except being recycled, changed their shapes in a few seconds in their hands and feet, and then turned into items.

In the blink of an eye, the iron sheet turned into a ring, the ceramic piece turned into a sphere, and the copper block turned into a metal fly...

When Nimrod saw that the steel wire had been stretched into coils and the tin blocks had been turned into circles of light, he felt relieved and ordered the use of garbage materials.

Even if you create something useless, there is no loss.

Gul Gul's brown eyes lit up and he exclaimed in surprise.

"It's amazing, how do they do that?"

"They seem to be driven by instinct."

The bio-psychic spoke thoughtfully.

"Yes."

Just as Ninglu confirmed Malena's judgment, the communicator began to beep.

When he answered the phone, Bukayo's voice came from the other end.

"My Lord, I have arrived at the target point and found a crystal mountain. It is a hexahedron."

After hearing that there was a hexahedral crystal mountain at the target point, Nimrod was silent for a moment before speaking.

“Keep reporting on progress.”

When he didn't receive the message, he gave another order.

"Except it, it..."

Ningluo lightly tapped his fingers and selected the light sculptures of various shapes that contained spirituality and remained.

"The rest, send them to my cabin."

Servants and porters immediately set to work, carefully carrying the items made by the space monkeys.

At this moment, the communicator suddenly rang and Bukayo's voice came.

“I’m about to climb a mountain.”

Ningluo couldn't help but frown. Bukayo's reply had nothing to do with his order. It seemed like a follow-up to the previous message. Obviously, the mountain interfered with the communication signal.

Just as he was debating whether to continue the experiment or head to the surface, Malena spoke.

"I am willing to go to the surface and assist Captain Bukayo."

"it is good."

Nimrod nodded in agreement, saying that with Malena's help, the followers of Slaanesh could be dealt with.

After dozens of items were moved away, he came to a cart full of garbage, stretched out two fingers and pinched the handle.

He walked up to a space ape, and in front of him was a statue, which emitted a white light that seemed to be fluorescent.

Its upper body is an umbrella-shaped structure like a jellyfish, while its lower body is an ammonite-like disk with two sharp horns extending from it.

Ningluo pointed at the material, and at the same time his consciousness spread to the space monkey, and in the vortex of instinctively emitting faint fear, he found the door to the mind.

"Use it," Nimrod said, moving his finger to point at the light sculpture, "to create it."

The space ape immediately came to the cart, and using his hands and feet, he created an identical statue in a few moments.

[The space ape has emotions, a mind, and can understand telepathy, which is enough to prove that he is a living being.

It's just that they don't communicate through language, perhaps only the ancient saints know how to activate their intelligence.]
Ningluo then used telepathy one by one to command the space monkeys to create fifty-two light sculptures before stopping.

"Send them all to my cabin."

After thinking for a moment, he said to Wojciech, "Provide him with scrap materials and let them continue to make it."

“When they’re not making something, they’re not allowed to have anything around them.”

"At the same time, send people to take turns to guard the ship. If they start to dismantle the planks, stop them immediately."

Wojciech carefully wrote down Nimrod's orders one by one and carried them out.

Nimrod then walked towards his own action, secretly hoping that the space monkey would bring him some unexpected surprises.

At the same time, at the Crystal Mountain, 666 meters above the ground, in front of Bukayo, the vertical upward passage suddenly turned into an oblique upward passage leading to the mountain belly.

The passage was about tens of meters wide. Bukayo did not stop and led the team forward.

He noticed that there were many crystals sticking out from the walls and the ground, some sparsely and some densely.

After being promoted to "Midnight Poet", his spirituality was strengthened and he felt that these crystals were slightly different from those outside.

After he activated his spiritual vision, he could barely see the dots of colorful light emanating from it.

After walking forward for dozens of steps, he suddenly stopped, squatted down and looked at the cylindrical crystal at his feet. This crystal was even brighter in his spiritual vision.

After thinking for a moment, Bukayo stretched out his left hand and grabbed the crystal.

With his physical enhancement, his strength increased slightly, and he broke the crystal off with just a little effort.

After playing with it in his hands for a while and finding nothing new, he handed it to the men behind him.

"Keep it."

Bukayo continued to advance for a few hundred meters, and the special crystals became more frequent, and the spiritual touch became more and more intense.

He didn't stop again, but continued to move forward.

Suddenly, six forked roads appeared in his sight, and they looked no different.

Bukayo walked into six passages respectively, sensing the differences between them.

After a moment, he led the team through the third passage from the left.

This passage touched his spirituality the most.

After walking several hundred meters, when another fork in the road appeared in front of him, Bukayo suddenly raised the laser spear in his hand and shot a beam of light towards the third passage on the right.

With a bang, corpses fell to the ground, and at the same time, enemies dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding scimitars and gorgeous swords emerged from them.

The ambushed enemy howled incomprehensible sounds and attacked the Third Regiment as soon as they appeared.

The "Midnight Poet" who has obtained shooting enhancement can pull the trigger at an extraordinary speed.

His bullets never missed their target, and the enemies fell one after another.

The "Midnight Poet" who was fighting suddenly looked forward and felt that a large number of creatures were approaching.

Bukayo's pupils suddenly shrank as he saw a tide of strange creatures rushing towards him.

It has a scorpion-shaped body, but six scapulae extend from its spine, and each bone ends in a thorn.

A serpentine creature with a head like a razor petal, its extended tongue forked into two.

……

They crawled past with a hissing sound, and the living people in front of them were instantly submerged.

Bukayo raised his hand and fired a shot at the razor viper monster.

The venomous snake monster hissed and suddenly jumped up, actually avoiding the shooting of the "Midnight Poet".

Its two long tongues were like whips, lashing at Bukayo from both sides.

Bukayo's face changed and he shouted "Retreat"!
The monster was actually able to dodge his attacks, making it even harder for his men to hit him.

Bukayo raised the laser rifle with his right hand and pulled out a fragmentation grenade from the tactical bag on his waist with his left hand. He lay back and threw the grenade while avoiding the attack.

The "Midnight Poet", whose body was strengthened and whose athletic ability was improved, pressed his left hand backwards, used the force to flip backwards, and avoided the sting of the scorpion monster.

With a loud bang, the venomous snake monster was blown into pieces, its limbs scattered everywhere, and then it was submerged by the monster.

Bukayo led his troops to fight and retreat, and whenever a monster approached, he would throw a grenade to stop it.

As the grenades were quickly consumed, the Third Regiment began to suffer casualties.

The scorpion-shaped monster let out a shrill cry, and its six scapulae stretched like ropes, shooting towards Bukayo.
