Forty thousand years later, he became a god in the warp
Chapter 62: Camp Established, Pastor Disappears
The wood in the fire pit crackled, Caroline distributed the cooked broth to the three people, and the creature was tested by the Shoggoth.
There aren't many parasites in the body, or anything poisonous. It's just that after being cooked, the meat becomes as hard to chew as cowhide.
Lin Heng looked at the Shoggoth, who also put the piece of meat into the mechanical mouth and chewed it, thinking that he should use other forms to replenish energy.
"First of all, I am a human being. The machine is just an addition. Although the functional systems can be separated, my body still needs food."
As if Shugus knew what Lin Heng was thinking, he explained calmly.
After he finished speaking, the wooden house fell silent again. Several people looked at the flickering flames, not knowing what they were thinking.
Among them, Grave was probably worried about her sisters, Captain Ulena and the other Sisters of Silence.
She buried her face between her knees, hugged her legs and was about to cry. At this moment, she was no longer the strong trainee nun, and her sobbing made her return to the fragile little girl.
Caroline had no choice but to step forward to comfort him, hugging him to her chest and patting his back gently.
The other two men probably didn't know how to say words of comfort.
After all, the situation above is full of twists and turns, and no one can say for sure whether the reinforcements will arrive after they leave.
"I'm going to go out and check the situation nearby. Night is no different from day to me. You should go to bed early."
After the transformation, Shoggoth's body really doesn't care about the temperature difference of ten degrees. His mechanical prosthetic eye is also a multi-functional night vision goggles, and he has those fully functional mechanical tentacles.
Lin Heng thought about it and decided not to follow. After all, he was indeed far behind the other party in this aspect, and if he followed, he might even be a hindrance.
Caroline's comfort worked, and Graves gradually calmed down. Although she was still sobbing, at least she was no longer crying loudly.
"Sister Sister, what did the Empire teach you?" Caroline asked.
Grave was caught off guard by this question. She wiped her tears, thought for a moment, and said:
"We are a member of the Empire, the sharp knife against the warp. All creatures that are harmful to the Empire must be wiped out. We think what the Empire thinks and do what the Empire does!"
Her voice gradually grew louder, and she even stopped sobbing when she said the last sentence.
“Yes, although I really don’t want to say this, you have to prepare for the worst.
Captain Ulena and her companions may have died, but they died in fulfillment of the Empire's mission.
Now that the mission has been handed over to you, you should take up this great banner! People can cry, this is human instinct, but after crying, you must stand up, think about your goals, think about your sisters. "
Caroline said with emotion, presumably she also told her own experience. Although Lin Heng was alone, he could still understand the pain of losing a loved one.
Grave pursed her lips and looked at Caroline, then closed her eyes and nodded vigorously and hugged Caroline. Then she stood up and wiped away the tears on her face and said:
"Mr. Lin Heng, although I don't know what the empire needs you to do, a mission is a mission. Now that it has been handed over to me, I will definitely sacrifice my life for it.
So, if something unexpected happens, please die behind me. This way, when my soul returns to the Emperor's throne, I won't be ashamed to see my sisters."
Grave said seriously with red eyes.
Lin Heng originally wanted to say that there was no need for this and that you should run away if you can, but when he saw Caroline's hint, he thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"But I still want to say, run away if you can, as long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood! Besides, I am not so easy to burp, so don't die here or there..."
Grave smiled apologetically and sat back next to Caroline.
"Now we are considering the situation later. We don't have a spacecraft and can only wait passively.
The civilization level of this planet is very low, and we can only survive simply by relying on the supplies on it. Who knows how long we can survive here. "Lin Heng said.
What he said made sense, the current situation was very unclear and they really had to prepare for the worst.
Fortunately, there is a Shoggoth Mechanical Priest, otherwise they would have to stay in the escape pod today, and their wounds might not even be healed.
"By the way, how long has the pastor been out?" Caroline asked
"It should be fine. The opponent's modified body should be able to crush the opponent in a place like this. He alone is more useful than the three of us." Lin Heng said.
This was indeed the case. The Shoggoth strolled leisurely in the forest, and the remaining four mechanical tentacles could still allow him to climb walls and run on rooftops. In just three or two steps, the Shoggoth climbed up to the treetops and looked around.
"It's a wild world indeed. Apart from animals and plants, there is no sign of civilization. I don't know what happened to the ships above... You destroyed my masterpiece, don't let me catch you!"
Shoggoth climbed down the tree angrily. Just now he saw an open space without any trees in the distance.
I didn't know whether there were any intelligent creatures over there, so I hurried over there.
"How can orcs build something that is illogical? It's just nonsense! They have no brains.
Just tapping and hitting can make the spacecraft take off, and it works! This is the Messiah of Ohm! I really want to cut open their heads and see, what the hell...”
"Drip!"
As Shugus muttered, the auspicious instrument in his hand suddenly made a sound. In addition to himself, there were several light spots moving on the screen of the instrument. Judging from the direction they were heading, they should be coming towards him.
I immediately adjusted the parameters of my artificial eye, gradually widened my field of vision, and looked into the dark woods. There was nothing there, not even a sound.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Shoggoth was about to say that it was too quiet, a wooden spear shot out at him the next moment. Even if he reacted quickly, it was too late.
With a "bang", the spear pierced his side, and before he could resist, several more spears flew at him.
"Boom!"
The spear pierced through the shoggoth's robe and penetrated into its mechanical body.
"Oh my goddamn Messiah! Where did this barbarian come from!"
The mechanical tentacles of the Shoggoth supported its body as it leaned back, and some of its parts were not functioning properly because of the spear's obstruction.
Then, with his righteous eyes, Shoggoth saw several sturdy figures rushing out from the darkness, holding polished and shiny stone axes in their hands.
“Ohhhhhhhhhh!”… “Prey…what…thing.”
The translator on the Shoggoth started to work, vaguely translating the words of the barbarians.
The Shoggoth quickly grabbed the spear handle, broke all the mechanical tentacles, and turned and ran without even looking.
The barbarians behind him shouted like monkeys, and moved around between tree trunks that required two or three people to embrace.
"Oh, O Messiah!"
The Shoggoth was in full force, but still couldn't shake off the barbarians. The next second, he was knocked to the ground by a flying axe from behind, unable to get up again.
...
"Why hasn't the pastor come back yet?"
When Lin Heng woke up, he saw that there were only three of them in the room. There was no change outside the room either, and it seemed that Shoggoth had not returned at night.
"The technical priests of the Mechanicus are very devoted to certain technologies. Could it be that they discovered some ancient building complexes and were so immersed in it that they forgot to come back?" Grave said.
Although it is possible, it is not necessary to study hard in this situation, Lin Heng thought.
"Then I'll go out and look for it. You guys be careful." After saying that, Lin Heng pulled out a polished spear and left.
Thinking that the Shoggoth might not go to the other side of the lake, Lin Heng simply walked to the back of the cabin and walked to the place where he caught the bird last time, but still got nothing.
Just when he was about to give up, he found a tree with marks of being torn by mechanical tentacles. The damage was very regular, and he knew it was done by the Shoggoth priest. But what was he doing on the tree?
Lin Heng shouted several times, but there was no movement from above, so he could only climb up carefully by holding on to the bark. He regretted it halfway, but still climbed to the top of the tree.
A gentle breeze blew, and the entire tree canopy rustled. Lin Heng didn't dare to breathe and held on to the branches tightly, looking for any clues of the Shoggoth.
But looking around, there are only towering trees and mountains, and few open spaces...
Empty space? Since the Shoggoth had climbed to the treetops, he must have wanted to observe the surroundings. The lake was behind him, so would the empty space in front also be suitable for living creatures? Lin Heng felt that he had grasped some clues.
After determining the direction, he slowly climbed down from the tree. Then he ran non-stop towards the open space in the distance. He didn't know how many kilometers he ran before Lin Heng actually found the clue.
The fallen leaves in the forest had obvious signs of being trampled, and formed a circle. In the center of the circle were some scattered metal parts. You didn't even need to look to know that they belonged to the Shoggoth.
There was a rustling instrument buried under the fallen leaves. Lin Heng went forward to observe it. It looked like some kind of radio. Then he pressed a few buttons at random, and the sound of the Shoggoth came out.
"We encountered the native inhabitants of this planet. They were similar to uncivilized apes and used stone weapons. They were impulsive, difficult to communicate with, and highly aggressive. The barbarians we met were generally stronger than normal humans.
The translator can easily understand what the other party is saying. It is preliminarily determined that the other party lives in the southeast of the wooden house, about 15 kilometers away. If anyone can pick up the device, please do not approach the above area. Encounter..."
Lin Heng turned off the instrument and hurried to the camp.
...
"Is Pastor Shoggoth going to be okay?" Grave said.
"He has so many tools on him. Even if he is attacked by a wild beast, he should be able to climb up a tree to hide. Lin Heng has been out for two hours. If he doesn't come back in another hour, let's write a message and go out to look for him."
"dong dong dong..."
Just as Caroline finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the cabin.
"I'm back, I'm going to open..."
Caroline grabbed the excited Grave and shook her head nervously.
