Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Kla, Kree...

Zhang Xun slowly made his way through the sewers, suppressing his discomfort and avoiding looking at the mixture beneath him, carefully passing through the mixed-race rest area.

Honestly, compared to the nerds, the rule of the shrewd is like paradise.

Mixed-bloods and pure-bloods, apart from necessary work, rely on their own will (or possibly psychic control) for everything else, and have food (human flesh?) and rest.

It was like the era when the oil enthusiasts ruled. They would work themselves to death as long as they weren't killed. Even if they died, they could be turned into servants. They would continue working after death until all the organic matter on their bodies was completely destroyed. Then they would dismantle the usable parts and give them to the next one, while the remnants would be thrown into the bottom nest world.

These tech enthusiasts see value in everything, and when something loses its value, they throw it away and buy a new one.

In their minds, humans are merely stepping stones or obstacles to mechanical ascension.

That remains unknown; even their god, 'Om Messiah,' may not know.

After all, compared to them, the patients in Arkham Asylum (who could also be considered doctors!) would all be regarded as normal humans by Huang Yaoshi.

Just as Zhang Xun was about to go up to the foundry.

A group of mixed-race people came here for some unknown reason.

Zhang Xun didn't think there would be any living people here, because the foundry was important to Chao Du, but it was just as important to Ji Ze.

The cunning Poor Prince Cult uses weapons not only obtained through deception and robbery, but also some produced by foundries for its battles.

How did these survivors manage to survive with so many mixed-race and P1 parent hosts?

Soon a group of mixed-race people rushed into the foundry.

Zhang Xun wasn't sure whether these mixed-race people were looking for him or for the survivors.

Because these mixed-race people no longer speak human language.

This situation is actually thanks to Zhang Xun and his wife.

Who allowed these two F1 hybrids to carry out such a massacre with impunity?

Being cunning may not look human, but that doesn't mean the person is brainless.

Zhang Xun glanced at the fourth generation's head, whose skin had been worn away, and threw it disdainfully into a downward pipe some distance away.

As for whether she was going to the bottom nest or some kind of crushing facility, Zhang Xun had no idea.

Zhang Xun himself found it incredible that he was able to get his hands on the foundry.

Just as Zhang Xun and Sun Hui climbed out of the sewer and entered an abandoned material tank, they used an anti-permeability shield to remove the unknown substance wrapped around it.

Sun Hui sniffed and suddenly pointed in a direction, saying, "Food! Food! Hurry up or there won't be any left."

What the hell? The survivors are so audacious as to start a fire and cook in the foundry?

No, although there is fire here, the Tyranids are not to be trifled with!

Zhang Xun looked at the smelly pipe; it was a flexible hose that should have been inserted into the sewer.

From the outside, it looks like it's part of the discarded container.

Once it was knocked down, the gas coming out of the thin pipe clearly smelled like starch being cooked.

This design is ingenious; it can completely mask the odor of the foul-smelling substances in the sewer.

Even if problems arise, there are abandoned material tanks to isolate them, which only need to mix slightly with the stench rising from below.

Even if a cunning pureblood came, as long as he didn't stick his head in, he wouldn't be able to discover this mechanism.

Zhang Xun released the miniature detection insects not because he lacked high technology, but because the Armed Goddess was only equipped with some low-level detection devices.

The main issue is that the bio-engineered humans themselves do not have a power core; all their energy comes from separate reaction batteries.

In the absence of sufficient energy supply, it is simply impossible to have the same equipment as the TX.

Soon the probe insects sent back information.

Following the scent in the pipes, after navigating numerous confusing branches, it was stopped by a filtration device.

However, it is certain that many survivors are hiding in the material transfer warehouse.

The material transfer warehouses in Warhammer aren't staffed by a bunch of miserable people.

Instead, it utilizes complex mechanical structures to complete the replenishment and release of raw materials.

Normally, such warehouses only have basic environmental maintenance facilities. If any living creatures enter, the spilled materials will crush the humans inside.

The presence of human traces here suggests that, apart from someone stealing things to sell on the black market, Zhang Xun couldn't think of any other possibility.

The term "hamster" has appeared in many universes, and although its meaning may differ depending on the context, it has always been associated with warehouses.

The choice of this location can be described as extremely cunning.

If Zhang Xun's guess is correct, the only entrance to the foundry should be inside the raw material warehouse.

It must be blocked by thousands of tons of raw materials now, and the other entrance and exit should be in the direction of the black market.

Besides these two, they should have a third passage, but Zhang Xun didn't know where it led.

However, it is probably related to the complex piping in the foundry.

But this did not stump Zhang Xun. The claws on his wristband glowed with energy, clearly indicating that they had a heat-melting function.

Zhang Xun, with Sun Hui in tow, crawled back into the sewer. With the help of the mechanical insect for positioning, he chose the closest spot and began digging and cutting.

Meanwhile, the council chamber of Saint Harbor was already in an uproar.

Without the suppression of Calga and Zhang Xun, various forces began to emerge again.

"As I said, the breaching of three noble fortresses is the top priority now, and we no longer have the spare strength to provide support."

Because the incident at the Spire of the Underworld happened suddenly, Zhang Xun's plan to rob the rich and help the poor caused the nobles of Agammenus to become even more frightened and begin to tighten their defenses.

At this moment, they had no desire to send troops to rescue Zhang Xun.

However, the Huangquan No. 8 members of the Mechanical God Cult, who were the local controllers of the Hongbei District, showed a nonchalant attitude.

Clearly, all three parties were very dissatisfied with Zhang Xun's defection to the Extreme Battle Group, but they could not openly oppose Calga.

This meeting was less about discussing how to rescue Zhang Xun and more about putting pressure on Natal.

If she doesn't make any statement, none of the three parties will show a strong desire to provide assistance.

All three parties' top executives are experts at going through the motions and making a show of things.

Even if the low-ranking soldiers of the three sides were really trying their best to rescue Zhang Xun, it would only take a few words to hinder them.

Anyway, the Vigilant Star is only important to the Empire. As long as they leave here on warships and retreat to other places the moment it falls, that's fine.

Natal had long seen through these good-for-nothings. Their long-term pampered lifestyle had led various factions in the empire to no longer regard ordinary people as human beings.

In any case, the empire's territory is vast, so they don't need to worry about having nowhere to go before they die.

After all, it has been a long time since an emperor has sat on that throne. Even if he were still alive, he would only be a link for them to maintain unity.

Seeing that the three parties were being disrespectful, Natal slammed the door and left.

A nobleman licked his lips and said, "She's really hot. That foreigner is so lucky. It's a pity he didn't get to kiss Yoshizawa. I really want to see her basking in his pleasure."

The poker-faced nobleman next to him said, "Be careful what you say. They still have a battle fortress that they could destroy even now."

The mechanical priests had no interest in the flesh, and as for the genetic samples, they had already obtained them from the front lines. Since they could not provide any value to the filthy flesh-and-blood nobles, the mechanical priests did not want to bother with them.

However, the state religion had always suspected Zhang Xun and his group's identities, and they were the first to leave.

Back in her own territory, Natal immediately ordered Zhao Wanyang to carry out the rescue plan, while simultaneously launching an assassination attempt on the fortress of the foul-mouthed nobleman in the council hall.

No one can insult her lover and escape unscathed.

Since Chaos, Orcs, and Insects are all ineffective, the only option is to become their fear.
