Chapter 7 Calvin

In a small villa decorated in a bit of Terra Cuban style, with a sense of simplicity and practicality unique to colonial strongholds as a whole.

Fu Qihai, who was dressed in simple clothes, was sitting on a brown-red classical sofa, and the servant next to him poured him a cup of black tea.

"So, Little Locke, are you also looking for me because of that spaceship?" Sitting opposite Fu Chenghai, Calvin was a middle-aged brown-haired man in a loose uniform of an imperial official. His face was covered with stubble. It was full of exhaustion, and he leaned listlessly on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at Fu Qihai in front of him.

"Yes, the death of Cedric and the others has spread throughout the stronghold, and the adults must know about it." Fu Qihai looked straight at Calvin, "I want to know, what is in that spaceship, Lord Calvin?"

"What's there..." Calvin picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, "I don't know how to describe it...Little Locke, have you ever seen a battle between angels?"

Calvin stared fixedly at the coffee table in front of him, his eyes were out of focus, and the expression on his face was frightened and helpless, "Those angels you look up to, those demigods walking in the world, the invincible guardians of the empire, are they Will they also fall and betray? They will also kill each other one day? Your Majesty, I have never witnessed such...such..."

Afterwards, he laughed at himself, "Hehe, yes, why am I telling you this to a kid who grew up in a slum?"

"Someone is alive inside, right?" Fu Qihai ignored Calvin's nagging and asked straightforwardly.

"Yes, you are right, there are people alive." Calvin grabbed the bottle and took another sip, as if only alcohol could soothe his shocked three views, "I thought about it, when everything is over, someone will come For the stronghold, we just wait, no matter who he is, he will rule this stronghold, maybe destroy this place, who knows."

Calvin waved his hand wearily, and said: "This is not something you need to think about, little Locke, it's the first time in your life that you feel the direct rays of light from a star when you come to Cheslatan, enjoy it, and continue to eat Go to the free catering at the stronghold, and stay away from that spaceship."

"This is my last piece of advice to you."

Calvin was right. Locke, who used to live in the lower level of the Hive City, received artificial lighting from the Hive City Electrician Union. He never knew what it was like to be illuminated by the light of a star in the past.

"Hedric...what is it, a group of bottom brood worms who don't know what to do..." Calvin, who seemed to be a little confused after drinking, muttered in a low voice.

"Okay, my lord, take my leave." Having obtained the information he wanted to know, Fu Qihai didn't say much, and stood up politely to leave.

Outside the gate of the villa, Fei leaned on a jet motorcycle and waited for Fu Qihai. His pair of straight long legs were very eye-catching. Seeing Fu Qihai coming out, he quickly asked:

"Well, Arlo, what did Calvin say, did he tell you what's going on?"

"He didn't say it." Fu Qihai got on the motorcycle with a serious expression, "but it's like saying it."

…………

The dim light hit the khaki-colored concrete walls, casting long black shadows on the furnishings in the house.

This is a house with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom that is much bigger than Fu Qinghai's single-person cottage, Fei Yi's home.

Fai's parents died of illness and left some inheritance to the little girl.

Including this house with a small attic on the second floor, a Levantine Cyclone-V small jet motorcycle, some furniture and household appliances, a bunch of sampling and analysis equipment, a bunch of exotic plant materials, etc.

It's not considered poor, and it's much better than a pure proletariat like Fu Qihai. After all, even the one-person house does not belong to Fu Qihai's private property, but was given to him by the colonial stronghold.

The night in the colonial stronghold was dry and cool. In the kitchen, Fai was wearing a gray linen suspender dress of her mother, and was concentrating on cutting a plate of Cheslatan’s exotic fruit, like a virtuous little wife, with her skirt hanging on the Her slender shoulders were slightly wide, and her breasts that had begun to take shape pushed up the outline of the dress. The whiteness looming under her arms brought a touch of charm to this quiet room.

Fu Qihai didn't care to appreciate this scene. He leaned against the sofa and sat barefoot on the carpet in the living room, frowning and thinking, weighing the pros and cons.

He was almost certain that the crashed spaceship was not only a warship, but also had an Astarte on it!

Calvin is an administrative officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs following the expedition fleet, not some Hive City civilian who has never seen the world.

Lazore can call all the horrible things he can't understand as "demons", but there is one and only one existence that Calvin can call "angels"——

Starfighter.

This kind of humanoid biological weapon developed by the Emperor based on twenty Primarchs, also known as the Astarte monk, is huge in stature, infinite in strength, fearless in combat, superb in killing skills, and extremely powerful in combat. Relying on the unification of Terra and the further launch of the Great Crusade to recover the old colonies of the galactic humans.

It is also the real protagonist of the Warhammer 40 universe.

In the past millennium, the Great Crusade was the main theme of the human empire and even the entire galaxy. The supreme leader of the human empire, the Emperor, led the legion of space warriors he personally built, starting from the holy Terra, using subspace navigation technology, Resolutely move towards the former human colonies lost in the Dark Age of the Milky Way. While recovering these planets that once belonged to the human rule of the solar system, at the same time look for the Primarchs scattered throughout the Milky Way by the forces of the subspace, and compile them into the future. In the Legion of Space Marines forged based on their respective genes.

And now, if the timers on the colonial strongholds were not disturbed by the subspace storm, the era in which Fu Qihai lived was the era of the Horus Rebellion. The intimate Primarch Horus Luperkar was promoted to "Warmaster", led all other Space Marine Legions and expedition fleets to continue the Great Crusade, and then returned to Terra by himself, hiding in the basement of the Terra Palace to study him In the subsequent series of events, Warmaster Horus finally launched a rebellion against the Emperor under the gradual corruption of the evil gods of the warp, and the entire galaxy fell into burning and chaos.

Loyalty and betrayal, rebellion and counter-rebellion are the themes of this era.

No matter whether Fu Qihai voluntarily or forcedly, will be involved in this catastrophe of mankind, and cannot be alone - a warship carrying space fighters crashed in Cheslatan is a clear proof.

It proves that this war of human brains against dog brains has even reached Cheslatan, an unknown remote colonial planet.

"Ah Luo, come and eat." Fai put a plate of purple-red and strangely shaped fruit slices on the coffee table in front of Fu Qihai, and then imitated Fu Qihai and sat on the carpet with his legs together.

Fu Qihai picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted a bit like the passion flower on Earth in his previous life, with a slightly strange fishy smell.

Fu Qihai wondered if Fei Yi cut and ate the exotic plants his parents cultivated for research.

"I know what's on that spaceship, Fei Yi." Fu Qihai said calmly.

"What's there?" Fei leaned next to Fu Qihai, sipping fruit, and didn't seem to care about this question.

"Star Warrior, do you know Star Warrior?"

"Of course I know. I've heard of it before I came here. The legendary unrivaled warrior, the emperor's superhuman soldier, and the patron saint of the empire." After finishing a long list of adjectives, Feiyi looked at Fu Qihai strangely. With a glance, "Don't treat me like a country girl who has never seen the world, okay, you are the kid in the nest."

The Star Warriors are household names in the empire. They are not only the reliance of the Emperor to unify Terra, but also the main force of the Great Crusade. There are not many ordinary people in China, and most of the impressions of ordinary empire residents on space fighters remain in legends.

After all, in terms of the empire's huge population base and standing army, the number of space fighters is not many, and they are the elite of the elite.

Fu Qihai ignored Fei Yi's complaints, and continued: "I guess, the space fighters on that spaceship are fighting each other."

"Oh?" Fei finally raised his interest, "Why do they fight each other, did Calvin tell you?"

"Calvin didn't say anything, I deduced it from what he said." Fu Qihai pursed his lips, and said: "Calvin is in a very bad mood now, he is very negative, and he may have never seen the two teams of space fighters in the past. Life and death, this matter has a great impact on him, he has not received any information from Terra and the expedition fleet for a long time, he cannot make a judgment, he decided to hand over the fate of the colonial stronghold to the winner of the battle."

"It doesn't matter who the winner is."

"Then how did you judge, Arlo?" Fei Yi turned around and held Fu Qihai's arm, looking at him with a pair of blue eyes.

I don't know why, even the colony chief with the most information and knowledge can't make a decision, but Fei Yi just believes in Fu Qihai, a poor boy from the lower class of the hive capital, and trusts him inexplicably.

"I don't know either," Fu Qihai took a deep breath, "but I decided to go to the crash site to see."

"Ah? Don't go, why are you going? Didn't you see what happened to the group of Cedric?" Fai was anxious when he heard the words, and while he said, he touched Fu Qinghai's forehead with his hand.

Fu Qinghai pushed Fei Yi's hand away, and said: "I know, but I still have to go, I have to find out what happened, I can't hand over my fate to others, sit at home and pray, and resign myself to fate."

It seems that superstitious religions such as the Emperor's Holy Words that have been secretly circulated in the expedition fleet have not been introduced to this remote colonial stronghold. Even if Fu Chenghai really wants to pray, he can't find tools and objects.

"But... But I promised Mom and Dad to protect you!" Fei Yi was really anxious, and there was a faint sparkle in his big eyes.

It’s not clear who will protect who... Fu Qihai was speechless, he also held Fei Yi’s little hand, and said: "I also promised your parents to protect you, this is not contradictory. The Milky Way is cruel, Fei Yi, If I don't want to pursue a stronger power, how can I protect myself and you? Do you rely on you to stand in front of me again and again?"

Facing Fu Qihai's question, Fei Yi was speechless. She was not a cute little princess who grew up in a greenhouse. Even though she lived in the middle of the Levante Hive City, she still knew the cruelty of this universe.

They cannot live a carefree life in this small colonial stronghold for the rest of their lives.

"What's more, the small-scale battle shouldn't last so long. The winner should have been decided long ago. Why is there still no one coming from the colonial stronghold? There may be other changes on the spaceship." Fu Qihai analyzed.

"It's hard for me to draw a conclusion on what exactly happened, but we can go and have a look." Fu Qinghai turned his head to look at Fei Yi with firm eyes.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, the stars had not yet risen, and the morning light was faint, and the entire colonial stronghold was enveloped in silence and peace.

Fu Qihai and Fei Yi had already packed their bags and set off.

The natural scenery of Cheslatan's main continent is a bit like the western United States in the previous life. The jet motorcycle gallops at high speed on the desolate Gobi Desert, pulling out a long string of smoke and dust behind it. The occasional khaki weathered rocks and clusters of thorny bushes are A touch of embellishment to a desolate landscape.

Fu Qihai was sitting in the back row of the jet motorcycle, hugging Fei Yi's slender waist tightly to prevent being thrown away by the bumpy motorcycle. The morning sun was not too hot, and both of their heads and faces were covered with desert herdsmen from the previous life. The same face scarf, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and Fei, who was driving, also wore a pair of brown goggles, looking very capable.

How can I describe Fu Chenghai's current image...Lawrence of Arabia.

There is a long rod-shaped object hanging on the side of the car body. This is an electric shock gun. Feiyi's parents used it to explore the wilderness, and it is currently the only weapon for the two of them.

Sitting in the back seat, Fu Qihai sometimes couldn't help thinking: The second life given by the reincarnation world is really good. Not only does it have a beautiful skin, it is accompanied by a childhood sweetheart at the beginning, and there is also the Cheslatan colonial stronghold. It is rare in the Warhammer 40K universe to be a gentle novice village, but I still want to take risks with my life. I simply don't take the good intentions of the reincarnation world seriously.

This Levante Tornado-V silver-gray jet motorcycle manufactured by Levante Hive World has been around for some years, but it is still durable, but the engine noise is a bit loud, and the vibration is a bit obvious. The maximum ceiling of the original car design It is 3 meters, but the gravity of Cheslatan is a little stronger than that of the Levant. Without the use of promethium fuel, the two of them only flew to a height of 1 meter above the ground, basically flying close to the ground.

This is also the reason why Fai is driving the jet motorcycle. After all, the flying height of one meter still needs to avoid various obstacles on the ground. The speed of the motorcycle is fast. Fai is also more familiar with this motorcycle. Motorcycle driver's license...

Anyway, it wasn't because Fu Qihai was afraid to open it.

The noon sun began to heat up the Gobi. Fu Qihai and his two found a place in the shade of a huge boulder for lunch, then got on their motorcycles and continued on their way.

From the colonial stronghold to the place where the spaceship crashed, it would take a day and a half to reach it at the speed of a jet motorcycle.

The premise is that the direction is correct.

There is no satellite positioning and navigation on the colonial planet. Relying on the impression of the residents in the stronghold and the compass, Fu Qihai and Fei Yi corrected the direction several times, and gradually approached the place where the spacecraft crashed. Along the way, they saw some man-made objects scattered on the ground. parts.

It was getting late, and the spaceship was still far away. The two found a cave, which was a gap between two huge rocks, and decided to spend the night here.

After lighting a tin promethium lamp, Fu Chenghai and Feiyi spread blankets on the ground, and slept without talking for a night with only their clothes on.
