A quiet day, but they decided to go hunting.
In order to say goodbye to his War Dog brothers who were about to leave, Manning shouted to go hunt some game. Just like last time, not many people responded to the Wolves, but a few White Scars agreed. But Hades felt that it was most likely that they just wanted to race, not hunt.
Hades didn't want to go at first, but Jin didn't mention anything about finding him food this time. Thinking about the good relationship between him and War Dog Perez before, and that he was one of the first two technical sergeants to welcome him, Hades decided to go and deliver some food and chat with him.
Of course there are other reasons.
Hades glanced at Jin, who was getting an off-road motorcycle from the warehouse. In the distance, White Scar's motorcycle had begun to roar. He scratched his head.
"Are you almost there, Jin?"
"Sir, you can't ask for the initial outbound process to be too fast!"
As Jin finally completed the information authentication and the Mechanicus' call instructions—
A motorcycle suitable for the body of a Space Marine slowly came out of the warehouse. It was picked up by Hades from the warehouse. There was nothing in it but a vehicle with twin explosive bombs in front of the gauntlet.
Hades casually straddled it, the servo-arms on the back of his power armor swaying.
Let him think about it, the obituary has taken a melee dagger, a grenade launcher, a melta gun, and a deflagration blaster hidden on the back.
Then, he took out the one hidden in his glove.
The message to be sent on time has been encoded. Just in case, Hades also informed several fighting brothers in advance. Although they were skeptical, they still chose to believe Hades.
"Hey! Let's go, Hades!"
Wild Wolf Manning was sitting on his motorcycle. His motorcycle had been modified so much that its original shape could no longer be recognized. Some explosive bombs and melta weapons were placed on it. It was obvious that Wild Wolf had turned down their power because he just wanted to hunt some wild game instead of directly blowing the opponents into meat paste.
In the distance, several White Scar soldiers were chatting. They were riding modified reconnaissance motorcycles, without external weapons, with reduced weight and modified engines. Red lightning struck through the white body of the motorcycles.
It's confirmed, they were just going there to race, Hades thought.
"Walk!"
Manning jumped for joy, and instantly rushed out, directly to the front of the team.
Upon hearing the signal, the White Scars were not to be outdone. They stepped on the accelerator and started racing.
Wait, that speed, is it really okay
Although Hades knew that White Scar had his own acceleration technology, this was too fast!
By the time Hades had made a smooth start, the White Scars had already overtaken the wolves, and the rolling sand was almost reduced to a few small dots on the horizon.
Hades even thought he could vaguely hear the cheers of the White Scars' motorcycle spirits.
He was not in a hurry. Hades followed the wolf closely and at the same time paid attention to the map sent to him by Manning through the communication channel.
The Technical Sergeant Base is located on the edge of the city, very close to the wilderness, but if you want to reach the wilderness quickly, you need to cross a large waste area.
Here, waste produced by countless factories is discharged and wastewater overflows. Moreover, the sages will occasionally throw some mechanical servants that they consider scrapped here.
But who knows whether those mechanical servants can still act independently. During the years of training at the technical base, Hades realized that most of the mechanical creatures he saw on the boat were abandoned mechanical servants.
Some robot servants are not completely scrapped after being abandoned, and some even awaken self-awareness. The survivors are like wild dogs, digging for food in waste areas or stealing electricity from factories on the edge of the city to sustain their own survival.
Generally, when they see people, these robot servants will stay away from them.
The drive through the waste area was originally quite smooth. Although people littered here, the path used by large vehicles to transport the garbage was indeed clear, and they were now moving along this path.
Tall mountains of garbage were piled on both sides of the road, and from time to time, something flashed by.
In the distance, those tall garbage trucks are working.
Hades rode, constantly marking on the map.
When they reached a more remote place, Hades' motorcycle broke down.
A faint wisp of black smoke came out of the engine. Hades, who had been prepared, jumped out of the car without hesitation.
"boom!"
The next moment, the engine exploded and fragments flew everywhere!
The heavy motorcycle slid sideways into the garbage mountain beside the road. The huge momentum caused the steel bars and other waste on the garbage mountain to fall off.
"Bang!"
Dust flew everywhere.
Hades held a scythe in one hand, and in the image on his helmet, the motorcycle was completely scrapped.
Hmm. Judging from the extent of the explosion, it seems that the other party at least wants to save his life.
The wolf in front quickly turned back after hearing the unusual movement, and looked at Hades across the steel bars that blocked the entire road.
"Are you okay, bro?"
"fine."
Hades shook his hand, indicating that it was nothing serious.
"Why don't you go first, I'll walk back and drive another one later."
"Okay, that's great!"
"Then I'm leaving first, brother!"
The wolf Manning danced with joy at Hades for a while. Hades of course knew what he meant. He smiled and told the wolf to hurry up and chase the White Scar who had disappeared in front.
Roars sounded, and the wild wolves gradually ran towards the wilderness. Hades put the obituary on the bag behind him, picked up the grenade launcher, and began to slowly walk back.
When he had walked less than one-fifth of the way, the unusual movement began.
What came first was not a torrent of artillery fire, but an invisible code attack.
Hades's power armor was stuck instantly, and his power backpack was also locked. A bunch of useless code rushed into his mind.
At the same time, a tattered, abnormally modified robot servant appeared from the garbage mountain, holding a huge gun in his hand.
He opened fire—
Hades' whole body shook violently, and his whole body suddenly became heavy. The wasteland under his feet sank, and the power armor creaked.
Oops, it's the gravity gun!
As the mechanical servants on the garbage mountain appeared, dense figures appeared on the mountain beside the road, with Hades as the center.
Most of them look tattered, with cables tangled randomly and pieces of metal connected to their bodies as if randomly spliced together.
But if you look closely, the weapons in each servant's hand are intact!
Gravity guns, bolt guns, and a crude scepter covered with inscriptions.
Seeing that Hades was immobilized, the robot servants immediately continued to shoot. At the same time, a huge grenade rushed straight towards Hades. Hades' pupils contracted -
wc, it’s a stasis grenade. The opponent has spent a lot of money to capture him alive!
Stasis grenade, as its name suggests, can create a stasis force field in a certain space!
At this time, it was only two seconds since Hades was attacked by the waste code, but these attack codes were cracked the moment they entered Hades' left brain. At the same time, Hades immediately released the controls on the power armor and power backpack.
The heavy power armor flashed like a flash of lightning, directly passing through the attack range of the stasis grenade. Behind Hades, the debris splashed by his speed floated in the air, indicating the power of the stasis field.
Even though he was hit by countless gravity guns, Hades was still able to move at full speed under the pull of the huge gravity. He rushed directly towards the group of mechanical servants and shot at those mechanical servants holding scepters.
Nothing else, intuition!
“Bang!” “Bang!”
Every two gunshots would result in a servitor being shot in the head and a scepter being destroyed.
The huge figure rushed into the group of mechanical servants, like a cannonball hitting the waves, and the mechanical servant in the front was directly smashed to pieces. The blood-red blood spread like a spider web on Hades' pale power armor.
Hades raised his sickle to harvest, and heads flew everywhere, with metal mixed with flesh and blood bursting out.
Hades was still speeding up in the crowd. He couldn't stop. Slowing down meant being hit, and the opponent's gravity gun was not something that the power armor could protect against!
The power backpack behind him also flew with every move of Hades. The servo arm grabbed a mechanical servant that was close to him from behind, and then threw it out directly, knocking down a group of mechanical servants.
The plasma cutter was also dancing wildly, piercing directly into the body of the robot, and then tearing upwards!
Blood and flesh splattered!
These painless mechanical servants seemed to suddenly appear from everywhere, holding knives and guns, and pounced towards Hades endlessly.
However, trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm is doomed to be futile!
The dead souls flew around with sickles in their hands. Wherever they passed, bright red flowers dotted the dirty plain. Blood bloomed and death was reveling silently!
The sickle cut through the flesh and bones smoothly, it was destined to be a massacre.
The opponent's first move was the crucial one, but they underestimated Hades' reaction ability and the quality of his left brain firewall!
However, even though they were at a disadvantage, the opponent did not give up. Some robot servants began to deploy in an orderly manner, and the robot servants holding gravity guns began to rush towards Hades. Each robot servant fired at a different area, so that there would always be a shot that could hit!
The Servants holding explosive guns rushed to the outer circle.
Hades immediately saw what they were thinking. His running figure suddenly stopped for a moment, then leaped—
—Volley—
The robot servant in the middle was holding a scepter, with lightning swirling around it.
So that's how it is, the ghost laughed secretly, the other party is still fantasizing about winning by facing him head-on
It was a poor-quality replica of the Electricity-Draining Staff, with simplified inscriptions engraved on it and arcs of electricity flying everywhere.
I have to say, the idea is good. However, if a Space Marine is equipped with electronic equipment in key parts of his body, encountering this situation may be quite tricky.
These draining staffs can absorb the surrounding electricity, paralyzing the enemy's electronic equipment.
But now, Hades has cleared out most of the mechanical servants holding staffs, and this last one is just a piece of cake.
Without raising his sickle, Hades glided down from the sky.
"BANG!"
He stepped on the robot servant and blew it up!
Blood burst out like a rainstorm, metal parts burst out, and even directly pierced the head of the robot in the nearest encirclement!
He did not walk out of the bloody rain in a slow and handsome manner like in the animation, flashing out like a ghost, and raised his ghostly sickle again without hesitation—
In the face of death, he never hesitates to show mercy!
Barbarus's dance of death unfolds, and the audience is the sacrifice.
In the distance, those huge garbage trucks were still working steadily, humming and dumping countless filth. Some trembling robot servants were mixed in, being submerged silently.
Further away, the sun is just right.
Hades, covered in blood, lifted up the last servitor, and sticky plasma was constantly sliding down his pale power armor.
Under my feet, the wasteland mixed with blood, flesh and broken limbs was sticky, like a foul-smelling swamp, constantly emitting hot air.
A flash of red light flashed in the eyepiece of Hades' helmet.
[Signal source has been captured]
The servitor in his hand was still struggling, tearing at Hades' smooth power armor in vain with its modified hands. Under the hissing electronic sound, some chaotic chants were intermittent.
Hades remained indifferent and exerted force with his hands—
"Bang!"
Blood splattered all over his helmet.
Hades had a blank expression on his face. Death was the last and only thing he could do.
He wiped the blood off and ran towards the source of the signal nearby with his sickle.
This is a giant camouflaged garbage truck.
But when Hades passed, the car did not move, it just stood there.
Without hesitation, Hades directly broadcast the radio waves to the other side.
"Hades, the Fourteenth Legion Death Guard, hopes to meet you."
This is not an ordinary message. Hades used encrypted words.
As for which encryption method is used
The car door slowly opened, and a sage in a scarlet robe appeared in front of Hades. He was a rather unremarkable sage, not like the tall figure of the Jordan sage, nor like the dress of the female sages he had seen before. He was quite ordinary, and among a group of sages, he was just the background board.
The only special thing was that there was a pendant hanging on the sage's hood, but it was not a common incense burner or a gold ornament, but two rough black stones.
"Hello, Hades of Death Guard."
Unlike Hades, the sage spoke directly, the most ordinary electronic sound rang out harshly, without any emotional ups and downs,
"I was indeed negligent. Deploying the Jin-306 was a bold step."
"Before we get to the point, would you like to tell me which step you discovered?"
Hades checked the terrain and the sage's back, and only spoke after he was sure that the sage was not stalling for time.
"He flatters me so much."
It was as if it was completely tailor-made for Hades, with deliberate electronic expressions, anthropomorphic voice, and highly directed answers.
It’s not that all sages are lifeless; some sages with very different personalities may act this way, but these people all have a distinct ego.
In the process of interacting with Jin, Hades was very sure that Jin did not have such a thing.
It's not that I don't have it, it's that I've been avoiding it.
And every time Hades deliberately brought up a topic, the other party's train of thought would suddenly end.
And the unexplained disappearances and deliberate records. Oh, yes, and the reminder given to him by the old car.
The sage on the other side paused for a moment.
"I see."
"I'm very sorry for my previous behavior. I'm a sage who studies the field of anti-psychic energy. I accidentally learned about your special physique and rashly wanted to study it."
"I don't want to hurt you. If you allow me, I can kill Jin-306 as an apology, just to ease your anger."
"I'm not angry."
Hades suddenly spoke.
The other party was stunned for a moment, and Hades could feel the other party's thinking engine spinning.
"I didn't mean to hurt you. I just did this in a hurry. If you are not angry—"
The wise man slowly turned sideways.
"Can you come with me to the car to discuss the cooperation in detail?"
"cooperate?"
Hades sounded puzzled, but in fact, this was also his purpose.
Come to Mars to find the sage who studies anti-psychic energy. No wonder Malcador asked him to come here immediately.
"Yes, if you wish, we can study it without harming your body."
Hades blinked.
"Okay, but let's talk here."
"You think I can't see the stasis field on your car?"

I would also like to thank my fellow book friend, Kraft, for his help in understanding the combat weapons of the Mechanicus. (ω)
By the way, the female mechanical sage Collier Jersey that appeared in the first two articles is the character design of book friend 404Null, the one with a picture!
Hmm. Once I figure out how the site puts Easter eggs, I'll add that picture...
