Chapter 610

Chapter 598

In the two-and-a-half-month war between humans and undead, nearly 44 billion empire residents have returned to the Sea of ​​Souls.

44 billion, not 4.4 million. This number was normal for the Zero-3 Universe a hundred years ago. After all, in the eyes of the Zero-3 Empire, mortals were just a "resource" that could be consumed at will.

But human life is not worthless, it is the "currency" of the empire.

The Zero Three Empire's star field war could easily result in losses of hundreds of billions, or even trillions.

However, although the residents of the human empire in the main universe also belong to "currency", each one is "pricey".

As Universe 03, which was included in the territory of the main universe earlier, after a hundred years of improvement and the promotion and popularization of "Human Truth", the residents no longer regard the Primarch and the Astartes as demigods and angels, let alone the Emperor. Be a god.

And the local residents of Universe 03 have been "upgraded" in all aspects.

D-1999, who had previously fought in another space, was indeed too short for the Astartes, but D-1999 could not be said to be ordinary in the entire empire.

What you need to know is that after D-1999 returned from hell, his body data were 210cm and 150kg. Just looking at these, no one would think that D-1999 was not a macho man.

Even the auxiliary troops of the legion camp are usually around 2.2 or 2.3 meters tall without wearing power armor.

However, among the residents of the empire, especially the male residents of the main universe, the average height is already 184cm, and the average weight is also 92kg.

The average height and weight of female residents are 177cm and 66kg.

Highly developed nanotechnology, as well as a reasonable and rich diet, allow children born naturally to receive optimal nutrition, and their physical fitness far exceeds the average human level at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century.

As for lifespan?

Without any reconstructive surgery or prosthetic surgery, one can theoretically live to be around 800 years old.

However, even the official officials of the empire are unable to calculate the upper limit of the lifespan of the current residents of the empire. Because there are no diseases, the empire has not had a resident die of natural causes for 120 consecutive years.

Of course, residents of other universes that have just been incorporated into the Empire's territory will still die of old age and illness before they receive the planting of nanorobots and enjoy the Empire's medical technology.

These are enough to show that there is a qualitative difference between the Zero Three Empire and the Main Universe Empire, that is...

"rich".

It's not that the Zero Three Empire didn't want to, but that the Zero Three Empire was tortured so badly by the aliens and chaos that it didn't even have a chance to breathe.

But these are not the main differences between the residents of the empire and the former Zero Three Empire, or with human civilizations in other universes. What really makes the human empire stand out, and what aliens and chaos cannot understand is -

"Plenty of martial virtue"! ——

…

Dim light in the evening.

"Ta! Ta!" The crisp gunshot sound unique to the pulse rifle.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" There is also the sound of Necronomicon Gauss when it is charging and launching.

The streets were filled with noisy gunshots and cannon fire, as well as muzzle sparks and green beams of light flashing between the giant buildings on both sides.

All these indicate that the battle between humans and the undead here is quite fierce.

However, it was not the Imperial Army or the Battalion Auxiliary Army who were fighting against the Necron Warriors, but Imperial civilians in different costumes.

Among them were an old man wearing a floral vest and shorts, who looked like he was out to relax and prepare to warm up at a wine bar, and a female white-collar worker from the company who had just gotten off work and was wearing a slim formal suit.

And civilians are armed with semi-automatic pulse rifles, using the separation wall in the green belt or ground vehicles as bunkers to exchange fire with the slow-moving metal zombies.

"Damn it! You disturbed my mood! Go to hell!"

"I haven't fed the child yet! Ah! Damn it!!"

There were not only the sounds of gunfire in the streets, but also the angry roars of civilians.

Bang! Bang!

The moment the 10mm-caliber shellless pulse bullet hits the Necromancer, a micro-explosion occurs, and extremely fast and extremely small steel balls burst outward.

Dang! Dang!

The steel balls collided and impacted violently between the metal bodies.

A single shellless pulse bullet has minimal impact on the Necromancer, but if it withstands hundreds or thousands of bullets, it will eventually end up as "cannon fodder".

You must know that the coalition government before the establishment of the Human Empire had fully legalized semi-automatic weapons, and there were countless types of ammunition.

As long as you are willing to invest a lot of money in this area, you can find all kinds of weapons and ammunition, as well as special customizations, etc. For example, the white-collar woman used a pink competition-style pulse rifle.

Coupled with everyone's martial culture, the imperial official, as the largest arms dealer, can be said to be making "a lot of money."

However, the losses on the civilian side were equally heavy.

Walls and vehicles used as bunkers will gradually disintegrate after being hit by Gaussian beams. Once the bunkers are lost, civilians without the protection of power armor and energy shields will also end up dying on contact.

Even so, the vast majority of the civilians left on this street did not show timidity. Almost all of them had a look of "I will die if I die" and "I will take one of them with me even if I die." They were not afraid at all.

In fact, the reason for such a mentality is very simple. Long-term influence of words such as "destroy aliens" and "destroy monsters" will naturally make people full of martial virtues and not afraid of death.

After death, the soul returns to the sea of ​​souls, and after waiting for a period of time, it will be reincarnated back to the physical universe. These are all "scientifically based". The 9th edition of "Human Truth" is clearly written.

In addition, with the existence of the human emperor, the soul is not afraid of the influence of chaos at all.

No memory of the previous life and identity?

Although the empire is a "feudal" system, the welfare of the empire is simply too good to be imagined. .

So gradually, death and reincarnation are like deleting the account and playing again.

However, in order to prevent the residents of the empire from "dying for the sake of death" and "getting tired and re-creating an account", the imperial law is quite strict on suicide.

Once the big data review is used, the resident is just trying to see what the sea of ​​souls will look like after death, or what new face will be reborn after death, then don't blame the empire for being ruthless.

At this time, the Imperial regulatory department will take action and use the psychics who are responsible for this matter to directly bind the specific souls that have gone to the Sea of ​​Souls, detain them according to the situation, and also brand them with souls.

When this specific soul is finally "released from prison" and reincarnated, a special birthmark will appear on the left temple.

People with special birthmarks cannot work in official positions in the Empire, nor can they join the Imperial Army, let alone the Legion Battalion.

The Empire's doing this is "blatant" discrimination, and political correctness does not exist in the Imperial social system.

Faced with such a solution, naturally no one dares to touch the bad luck.

Just full of martial virtues, it is impossible to resist the seemingly endless army of undead.

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly, a Sangheili (elite) wearing pajamas and nightcaps, let out a unique roar of their tribe, broke through the glass, jumped down from the third floor, and rushed into the street full of undead warriors.

Buzz-~! Buzz-~!

The elite, who held the hilts of the swords in his left and right hands, swung his hands violently, releasing two energy blades emitting a light red light, and began to slaughter the dead warriors unilaterally.

The destructive power of the extremely high temperature blades is not comparable to that of the caseless pulse bombs. Combined with the elite's agile figure and strong brute force, it is easy to cut and slice the metal body.

Buzz! Sizzle! Buzz!

After a whirlwind of red light, the ground was full of metal limbs, heads, and upper and lower bodies that were cut off.

It seems that it is unwise to engage in long-range confrontation with the slow and uncoordinated dead warriors. Only close combat can stably "earn positive results."

"Ah! Ah!"

"For the Empire! For glory!"

And during this period, many elites wearing their own casual and formal clothes also joined the battle.

Immediately afterwards, another transport boat painted mainly black with white embellishments flashed red and blue lights and drove over the street, then made a sharp turn and crossed the front line held by civilians.

The hatch opened.

A group of 24 special teams wearing black power armor and standard weapons, laser guns, jumped out of the cabin immediately.

"This is Team 14, we have arrived at the target block and are ready to assist our civilians."

"Spread out, spread out, advance in a counterattack formation, don't forget your training content!"

The moment they landed, the special teams dispersed in groups of three, and the whole formed a "PIN" formation in the middle of the street, and then launched a counterattack against the Gauss ray.

Buzz! Buzz!

Crack——!!!

However, the energy shield provided by the Sheriff TPS power armor will collapse directly after being subjected to one or two Gauss rays.

Some even had their shields broken when they were subjected to the second ray attack, but the ray was still not offset and successfully hit the power armor, and then...

"Ah...!!"

As the special team members screamed in pain, their power armor and bodies were dispersed and disintegrated, turning into a pile of light green residue.

The counterattack was blocked.

There is no way. If you pull the view upwards... pull upwards...

From thousands of meters in the sky, you can see the colonial metropolitan area with a large number of giant structures, and there are smoke and fire everywhere.

There are also a large number of toothless discs or scorpion-shaped Necromancer aircraft flying in the sky, which means that the human side has lost air superiority, and it also directly means that the Imperial Navy responsible for stationing the colony can not withstand the attack of the Necromancer Tomb.

In fact, this colony is called "Morning Star" and is located in the universe within the Orion Cantilever, not in the most violent attack of the Trapper Star Zone.

Because it is close to the political and economic core of the Zero Three Universe, that is, the solar system, the total population of the Morning Star is as high as 30 billion.

At the same time, this also shows that the number of the Imperial Army, Navy and Krieg stationed on the Morning Star is also 2 to 3 times that of other colonies, with a total population of about 40 million.

More than 100 ships of various levels are deployed in the near-Earth orbit and the star system of the Morning Star, and there are even 4 20-kilometer Dreadnought-class aircraft carriers.

Moreover, this was the recruiting home planet for the 16th Battalion of the Dark Angels. Although it was not as rich as the colonies in the Extreme Star Zone, it was definitely wealthy for Universe Zero Three.

After the outbreak of the Human-Dead War, Rogge dispatched six companies of Astartes reserves and temporarily deployed them on Morning Star. The defensive force alone should be sufficient, not to mention that Morning Star was not affected by the war.

However, what was unexpected was that an incalculable number of dead tombs suddenly appeared on Morning Star, and the scale of these tombs was very large...

It was a flying pyramid all over the sky.

Facing the seemingly endless metal wave, only the fleet directly under the 16th Battalion resisted the offensive, but it was difficult to support it alone, causing the human side to lose most of its air superiority and ownership of low-Earth orbit in just two hours.

And before the dead tombs broke out of the ground, Morning Star had already lost the ability to contact the outside world, and the situation was more serious than that of Charon Tower.

Obviously, the dead tombs buried deep in the surface of Morning Star are most likely the dynasty of a hegemon, a dynasty much more powerful than that of Sarcos Isel.

So facing the metal wave, relying on the local forces of Morning Star alone is not enough.

That's why only civilians and sheriffs came to fight in the previous block, because the military and the battalion had no time to take care of it.

However, at this stage, it was Rogge who was in charge of the rear. As a Primarch who could see through the entire galaxy, he would naturally know the sudden change of the Morning Star, and support must be on the way.

At this time, the block...

"Ah! Guys, come on!!"

"Ah! Die! Die!"

Seeing that the special team could not withstand the offensive head-on, a group of elites accelerated and increased their speed and strength in the area where the dead warriors gathered, in order to try to relieve the pressure on the special team.

"Swish! Swish!"

"Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, a dense plasma cannon group passed over the street and directly took away the dead warriors who were suppressing the special team with firepower.

However, the source of these plasma cannon groups was "empty".

It turned out that they were several Ironbloods wearing hunting armor, equipped with shoulder cannons, wrist knives and retractable spears, wandering between low buildings and trees with optical camouflage, guerrilla warfare and coordination.

Elites and Ironbloods are also humans in the human empire, but they are not special. They can buy their usual versions of weapons and armor, but they are prohibited from buying weapons and armor from the human side. The same applies to the human side.

As for the most useless among the crowd, they should be the handsome and beautiful Weilins with slender ears.

Because they are the best at psychic power, they are completely restrained by the undead side.

"Bang, bang!"

However, what made everyone present feel desperate was that as the ground shook violently, several "three-legged scorpions" equipped with super-phase blades broke into the block and attacked the elites in the front.

But what everyone didn't know was that a "meteor shower" fell in the dim sky...

It was the violent friction when the airdrop pod broke through the atmosphere, and the fire produced cut through the night sky.
