As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

Nothing happened.

Okay, okay, this is how we test it, right? The Adeptus Mechanicus understands authority.

After complaining about the oil guys who went deep into the grassroots and didn't know how to adapt, the road ahead was clear, and Zhang Ge finally saw the source of the sound of the construction machinery.

A Mechanicus monk was commanding a large group of servitors and slaves to completely renovate the original hall. A pile of complicated ritual items, meaningless lines, and tiny texts covered the surrounding walls, and a strong atmosphere of the order was overwhelming.

The monk turned around, as if he heard the sound of people entering.

"Ah, Colonel Zhang Ge, hello."

But after just saying hello, the other party turned around as if nothing had happened and continued to point fingers at the mechanical servants.

Zhang Ge, feeling a bit overwhelmed, walked forward and asked after approaching him:

"What are you doing?"

Hearing the question, the other party turned around again and answered calmly:

"Of course, it is to transform this place into a holy place so that no impurity can contaminate the Titans. After all, your soldiers have the sacred duty of protecting the Titans."

It’s actually a female engine oil man?

Zhang Ge heard rare gender characteristics in her voice.

Oh no, it's possible that the ones we met before were also like this, but they were modified to the point where they basically lost their characteristics. However, monks are basically the lowest level of priests, so it's normal that they didn't receive the kind of modifications that normal priests received, where they were left with very little flesh.

While she was thinking, she suddenly took a step forward, but with this step, her height suddenly became shorter.

Looking down, after she took a step forward, her legs stepped off the small balance bike-like vehicle that was originally hidden under the red robe, so her height suddenly decreased.

"You didn't modify your brain kit? I thought the priest had already passed the message to you. I am a low-level engineer in Yolanda."

She stretched out her palm, making a handshake gesture. There was still about 60 to 70 percent flesh left on her palm, and only the back of her hand was clearly covered with some signs of transformation.

No modification...why does this sound like an insult?

Zhang Ge, who had gradually become accustomed to the style of the Mechanicus, helplessly extended his hand to shake hands with it.

"Alas?"

At the moment of contact, an unexpected and obvious delicate sound came from the other person's throat. Her palms clenched subconsciously in the brief confusion caused by the impact of a large amount of abnormal data streams. At the same time, she suddenly clamped her hands inward, and her trembling thighs were outlined under the red robe, and her waist also twitched slightly and began to collapse forward.

ps: I’m updating more, it’s urgent, if you don’t give me the tickets I will have to resort to some means, I will start begging you guys!

Chapter 44 Agreement

"what happened?"

After she showed abnormal symptoms, Zhang Ge naturally moved forward slightly to support her. However, she did not seem to show any signs of improvement. The mechanical arm behind her fell limp, and the information-integrated mask on her face simply popped off her face with a burst of rapid dripping sounds.

"Don't..."

Yolanda seemed to have transformed her body's fluid circulation. As she spoke with a trembling voice and managed to speak vaguely, one could see an unusually large amount of translucent saliva sticking together between her lips and teeth. A lot of it flowed slowly downwards along the tip of her tongue, or directly overflowed from the sides of her pale pink lips.

She seemed to be experiencing some strong stimulation, with physiological tears secreted from the corners of her eyes, accumulating uncontrollably and flowing out of her eye sockets.

Don't?

Oh, I see. You want me to not let go.

Zhang Ge was very understanding. Seeing that she looked like she was having a cyber psychotic attack, he immediately decided to help her to the Crusader at the door, even at the risk of being attacked himself.

There's nothing I can do. After all, she's begging me for help. I'm definitely not expecting her to suddenly lose her mind.

Seeing that she was in this state, she probably couldn't walk by herself, so Zhang Ge moved his arms over and grabbed her waist and legs, and carried her horizontally.

Yolanda's already fragile nerves were overloaded, her legs twitched, her head tilted, and she fainted.

This place was not far from the entrance. Even though Zhang Ge deliberately slowed down his pace, he soon saw the Crusaders again.

"Junior Engineer Yolanda, um, seems to be in trouble."

Not knowing how to describe her condition, Zhang Ge could only give a vague description.

The two Skitarians looked at each other, and one of them said:

"Enter, behavioral instructions: Lay her flat on the ground."

Hearing this, Zhang Ge bent down and laid Yolanda flat on the ground. He then found a spot on her robe that wasn't wet and wiped away the sweat his fingers had stained her with. It should be some kind of waste liquid, anyway.

Zhang Ge was very disappointed because he didn't wait for the other party to attack and hurt anyone, and he was too lazy to care about the subsequent treatment.

After returning to the hall, he said:

"So members of the Adeptus Mechanicus can also get electronic fever. Have you ever seen this before?"

Zhang Ge asked the captain of the guard beside him with a slightly curious tone in the second half of the sentence.

The captain of the guard had realized something when he saw Yolanda's expression, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this speculation was too absurd. When he was trying to convince himself to rule out that possibility, he was suddenly asked a question. He was stunned for a moment before quickly interjecting:

"Ah? Ah, this is... the first time I've seen it."

It's not like he hasn't seen the electronic warfare between the family's top modified bodies and the people of the Mechanicus, but no matter which side was stuffed with a virus, their performance shouldn't be like this, right?

His curiosity was not satisfied, so Zhang Ge had no intention of continuing to delve deeper, but instead continued to complete the unfinished visit.

After a tour, Zhang Ge roughly understood the structure here.

This is a huge base with a total of thirty floors. The heights of the floors are different for different purposes. The total height is almost 140 meters, of which 120 meters are buried in the partition wall between the upper and lower nests, that is, "underground", and the other 20 meters are directly built into the wall.

From independent generator rooms, maintenance workshops, food recycling production facilities, to weapons depots, ammunition depots, or canteens, dormitories, and garages.

A facility of this size is large enough to accommodate at least 10,000 fully armed soldiers for long-term stationing, and this is just one of the many corps bases.

Even if everything outside falls, we can still resist independently for a long time relying on this place.

It must be said that when it comes to protecting themselves, the nobles at the top of the tower are still willing to spend money.

Just as Zhang Ge finished his tour and was about to leave, a voice with a hint of inexplicable emotion mixed with anger came from behind him:

"Stop! You can't learn mechanical maintenance, you have a low-quality database, you can't adapt to mechanical structures..."

Zhang Ge turned around and heard Yolanda's voice. Behind her stood several Skitarii. The Skitarii officer beside her heard such dirty words and couldn't help but interrupt:

"Identification code verified, result: ally."

At this time, Yolanda realized that she was a little too "emotional". The other party was now an ally with a Titan, and even if she... she really shouldn't be so extreme.

So she obviously swallowed hard, tried hard to suppress her previous emotions, and continued:

"Okay, I apologize first. I shouldn't have said that, but should you also explain why you attacked me with the virus?"

Did Yolanda want an answer herself? She certainly did, but something more rational reminded her that there was a better way to achieve this goal.

However, after the previous contact, her rationality, which usually had the upper hand, became difficult to suppress a certain impulse. What she herself was unwilling to admit was that after meeting the other party, that impulse was obviously alleviated.

To the point that she herself was a little confused about her true purpose.

However, Zhang Ge had no idea what she was talking about... Virus? The most I could give you is a cold virus, right?

"What nonsense are you talking about? You suddenly fainted, and I took you to get treated. I didn't ask for anything in return, but you're using this to slander me?"

"you!"

Without paying attention to her opinion, Zhang Ge turned to the officer and asked:

"Did your treatment reveal any foreign viruses?"

The officer looked around at Yolanda and Zhang Ge.

The former seemed to have received a direct communication from the officer. Although he was still staring at Zhang Ge fiercely, he said nothing more. After a while, probably when the two sides had finished their negotiations, the officer spoke again:

“Consensus: Data anomalies caused the failure, and viruses were ruled out as a factor.”

To be honest, the officers also felt that it was a fantasy to be able to complete the entire virus invasion process by just shaking hands, and even at the same time not leave any traces or signs of damage.

The first part was possible, but the second... it was like having a macro cannon shell hit the ground and then having the shell repair the crater itself.

He was also more inclined to believe it was a coincidental data error. Was he sabotaging the plans of a high-ranking priest just for the coincidence of a low-ranking engineer? Clearly, the latter had a much higher priority.

Of course, despite what the officer said, Yolanda still had an expression of forced forbearance. She was determined to investigate this potential threat, even at the cost of her own life, and so she spoke:

"...Excuse me, Colonel Zhang Ge, could you please allow me to be your military chaplain?"

Zhang Ge was a bit caught off guard by the sudden change in topic, but then he thought, wouldn't it be just what he wanted to let such an unreliable engineer be in charge of repairing the machine? It would be best to leave everything to her:

"Haha, of course no problem, but, Yolanda Engineer, I need you to provide all the services."

Yolanda clenched her fingers upon hearing this:

"Full service?!...You!..."

But she finally managed to squeeze out the words from between her teeth and replied:

"...Okay, but restoring weakened sensory systems will take time, and you don't want to..."

"Okay, then go fix my car parked at the entrance first. What does the sensory system have to do with that?"

"what?"

PS: Even the donkeys in the production team don’t work overtime like this, TvT. I’m writing more and more (remember to vote more.

Chapter 45: The model is very rare

After Yolanda ran to the entrance with an angry look on her face for some unknown reason, Zhang Ge encountered no other obstacles in his subsequent actions. After briefly understanding the friendly forces around him, he returned to his vehicle.

Didn't see Yolanda... Is this guy slacking off?

However, when Zhang Ge walked to the side of the car, a series of rapid knocking sounds suddenly rang out, sounding as if coming from under the car.

Before he could react, the vehicle's chassis lifting system started operating on its own.

A dusty, red-robed man crawled out from under the car. It was undoubtedly Yolanda. Zhang Ge raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with some doubt:

"What, are you going to be eaten by a car?"

The other party didn't say anything, and didn't even have time to wipe the oil off. He asked the robotic arm to take out a set of ritual tools from the backpack, turned around and crawled towards the car, chanting incomprehensible scriptures while performing complicated rituals.

Are you trying to appease the machine spirit? So my car was fine when I drove it here, and you broke it, right?

Of course, this made Zhang Ge even more satisfied.

With this Crouching Dragon, why worry about my survival? It's just like a fish finding a mine. If this had happened on the battlefield, would I still be alive today?

Naturally, he had no intention of disturbing the other party. He told the captain of the guard his destination and asked them to get on the car first. Then he found a place to sit and watch her bow.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after repeating the process several times, she finally stood up slowly with a tired look on her face.

"Is it done?"

Hearing Zhang Ge's words, she turned around and replied:

"To answer your previous question first: your vehicle is in surprisingly good condition. I suspect some of the parts are relics from an earlier era."

"After a partial inspection, the vehicle's chassis lifted up on its own. It seemed like the Machine Spirit was inviting me to go underneath. But once I entered, I wasn't sure why. Anyway, I angered the Machine Spirit and was pinned under the vehicle."

Yolanda explained with an expressionless face. Although her tone was very serious, combined with the dirt and dust smeared on her face, it really didn't create any tense atmosphere.

Although she had some issues with him, out of her sense of responsibility as an engineer and military chaplain, she continued to remind him:

"Until we have further investigated the cause, I do not recommend that you continue to ride this vehicle."

Hearing this, Zhang Ge smiled and did not mean to blame her:

"It's okay, as long as no one is hurt. Besides the machine spirit, is there anything else wrong with the car?"

"No, it's like the other parts have never been used, but that's exactly what makes it unusual."

"There's no time to change cars right now, so why not get in the car with me? I'll be able to look after you if anything goes wrong."

Hearing this, Yolanda hesitated. Between responsibility and the opportunity to explore unknown mechanical technology, the two were placed at the opposite ends of the psychological scale that determined the decision.

After hesitating for 0.01 seconds, Yolanda replied:

"it is good."

Who cares? Just die. Let me see the principle first.

Within 0.01 seconds, the balance was undoubtedly tipped towards the desire to explore the unknown.
