Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer
Chapter 87 Chekov's Gun
“We haven’t seen Lyanna since,” Shaya said, “but we all believe she’s still alive.”
"This incident was so devastating to Arabelle that she quit the gang and started rebelling against the game."
"If Arabelle is always causing trouble, doesn't anyone bother her?" Howard couldn't help but ask. "She doesn't seem to be very secretive about her whereabouts. Judging from Lyanna's room on the second floor, she hasn't moved. And you're not the only leader of the Middle Nest. Doesn't anyone else think she's a nuisance and want to get rid of her?"
"You've got the priorities mixed up," Char replied. "The purpose of the arena isn't to kill, but to pursue gore and excitement. Didn't the people of the Upper Nest see Arabel's attack on the hunting party as a spectacle? There's even a special betting platform before every hunt to determine whether Arabel will show up."
Howard was speechless. He remembered a sentence: When you are weak enough, even your anger looks so cute.
"Arabelle probably knows the futility of her actions, but she's already taken it as an apology to Lyanna. Perhaps she's been fantasizing that one day Lyanna will see everything she's done and suddenly come back." Xia glanced at Howard and continued, "I've been worried about her. She's been hurting herself again. But since you arrived, her indiscretions have decreased significantly, especially recently. She seems to have forgotten everything."
"I'm sorry," Howard apologized.
"We always thought we were protecting and caring for Lyanna, until she left, and then we realized she was actually caring for us." Char fell into memory again. "I, Arabelle, and Ivan, we all have completely different personalities. When Lyanna was here, she could accurately understand our hearts and act as a glue between us, but when she was gone, we found that when the three of us met, we didn't know what to say to each other. Just like that, the three of us gradually drifted apart."
"Then how did you and Ivan become like this?" Howard asked.
"After Arabelle left, the gang was leaderless, and I was the only one who could take over because the others couldn't convince the crowd. But I was too weak at the time, so I asked Ivan to transform me. But something went wrong along the way, and I became like this," Char replied. "I'm not sure about Ivan's story, but it seems like there was an accident during the experiment, and his teacher died in the accident, and he slowly transformed himself into that person."
At this moment, Howard suddenly thought of something, so he said to Char, "The priest in the Middle Nest is the leader of Yotun. You must be very careful. He is not human."
The leader was a thief, and the official name of the thief was a genestealer.
Genestealers are a special vanguard force of the Tyranids, their ability lies not in combat, but in infiltration.
When a thief arrives on an uninfected planet, it will hide and look for lone targets, then hypnotize them and use its mouthparts to inject the thief's genetic material into their bodies.
These infected people will be hypnotized by the chicken thief and forget the fact that they are infected, and continue to live in their own tribe until they reproduce with a person of the opposite sex.
Under the influence of the genetic material injected by the chicken thief, the infected person will give birth to a worm, which is the first generation of chicken thief.
However, under the influence of hypnosis, the infected person will still raise the first generation of chicken thieves, and the first generation of chicken thieves will then be hybridized to give birth to the second generation of chicken thieves.
The first two generations of the thief resembled the bug more than the host, but by the third generation, the host's genes had taken over, and the thief's appearance began to resemble the host more than the bug. By the fourth generation, the thief's appearance was almost identical to the host's.
In addition to being closer to the host, the fifth generation of chicken thieves will also experience atavism. Among the fifth generation of chicken thieves, a chicken thief will be born with genes exactly the same as the chicken thief who first came to this planet and infected the first host, starting a new round of infection.
Then these bugs disguised as humans will begin to spread and form a cunning sect in the dark. When the cunning sect becomes strong enough, they will call on the swarm troops and begin to try to seize control of the planet from the host species.
When the Zerg hive troops arrive, the thieves will offer all the organic matter, minerals and resources on the entire planet, even themselves, to become food for the Zerg swarm.
……
"I understand your concerns, but Francis is not someone to worry about. He and his companions are already filled with fear. They will not harm this planet."
"Perhaps I wasn't being straightforward enough." Howard didn't dare be vague about something so crucial that it could affect the fate of everyone on the planet. He continued, "The Francis you're talking about isn't human or Eldar. He's a bug. He came to this planet... No, his ancestors came here to infect everyone here and offer the entire planet to their master as food."
"I know what you mean," Char said, "but Francis came directly to this planet."
"Hmm?" Howard couldn't understand Char's answer, because judging from the appearance of Francis, he was at least a fourth-generation thief. Logically, all these thieves should have become food for the bugs. When infecting a planet, the first-generation thieves would usually be sent. Why send a fourth-generation thief?
"Francis and several of his compatriots suffered a terrible betrayal on another distant planet. He no longer works for his former master. He is now the most devout believer of the God-Emperor," said Char. "He now helps us clean up the bugs from other places on Kalimdor and Nat."
After hearing such an outrageous answer, Howard had no other thoughts except to think of a 6 in his mind.
The elevator arrival notification chime sounded just in time. Xia stood up and said to Howard, "You're waiting for this elevator, aren't you?"
Howard nodded.
Char: "Well, goodbye, Mr. Howard."
Howard nodded to the big man and said, "Goodbye."
The third gate opened, and Howard just stepped through it, but then stepped back.
Because a gun was pointed at his head.
The gun pointed at his head was the double-barreled pistol that Arabelle gave him for self-defense when he first went to see Ivan. After that incident, Howard returned the gun to Arabelle.
The gun is now held by its original owner.
Howard stepped back, and Arabelle approached with a gun.
The access control system detected an illegal passage and sounded an alarm, drawing the attention of everyone around here. However, they immediately saw Char standing there, so no one dared to come forward to stop him.
"You lied to me again." Arabelle's eyes were red and even her voice was trembling.
Seeing this, Char stood in front of Howard and said, "Arabelle, let him go."
But Howard gently pushed Char away. He looked into Arabelle's eyes and said, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time, Arabelle."
But what really broke Arabelle were the two words Howard said next.
"elder sister."
Hearing these two words, Arabelle seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. Her hand holding the gun fell down weakly, and a tear fell at the same time.
"Goodbye," Howard said goodbye to Arabelle, brushing past her shoulder and hurried into the elevator.
"boom!"
There was a gunshot behind me.
The gun that appeared first was finally fired near the end.
