Chapter 109

Zhou Yun saw the signal flare rise, his body moved slightly, and he disappeared into the swarm as a blur.

In the blink of an eye, he returned to the Cadian position.

This Cadian position was built relying on the garbage mountain. Various obstacles were placed between the narrow passages. A large number of Cadians hid behind the obstacles, using dense lasers to tear thousands of small Tyranid organisms into pieces.

Ratling snipers hid in high places, attempting to snipe the node organisms hidden deep in the sea of bugs.

Of course, most of the node organisms were hunted by Zhou Yun.

And precisely because of this, the pressure on the Cadians was reduced a lot.

Most of the time, they only needed to hold on until Zhou Yun solved the node organisms, and then clear the swarm that fell into chaos after the death of the node organisms.

Only in a small number of cases would they face the node organisms that had slipped through the net.

Even so, the Cadians still had to face a swarm several times their own size.

And Zhou Yun could only protect one position after all, barely ensuring that the garbage mountain side of the Thirteenth District was not breached by the Tyranid swarm.

The situation in other large districts must be much worse.

"Champion!" A short Ratling ran over and walked to Zhou Yun's side.

Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, discovering that this Ratling was the shooter who had lost to him before.

Seeing Zhou Yun's expression, the Ratling knew that Zhou Yun recognized him.

"Rapid-Finger Auxilia Hobien White-Deer, your defeated opponent." The Ratling introduced himself.

He pointed to the Cadians who were engaged in battle and said:

"Look, the Cadians can't spare their hands for the moment."

"On the contrary, all the work of us Ratlings has been snatched away by you, old man."

Hobien White-Deer grinned and said, waving his hand to signal Zhou Yun to follow him:

"The General and the others have already arrived."

Zhou Yun nodded slightly and followed Hobien White-Deer to a small hut half-buried deep in the garbage mountain.

The location of this hut was extremely hidden; if one hadn't known of its existence early on, it would likely have been difficult to discover.

The reason why the Cadian Shock Troops found this hut and used it as a command post was because—

it was because this stronghold was the hideout of Janna when she was an eager thief. She told Zhou Yun the location of this hut when she was in the lower hive.

Zhou Yun passed through the small hole piled up by garbage and drilled into the hut.

General Droste and Xiang Xiang Leina were gathered around a table in the hut, with a map on the table.

"Feeling better?" Zhou Yun asked Xiang Xiang Leina after walking into the hut.

"Much better, gi-mi." Xiang Xiang Leina turned her head, her voice saying somewhat stiffly.

"Huh?" Listening to Xiang Xiang Leina's words, Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment.

"Mi-nos, my language function is still a bit chaotic, man-bo." Xiang Xiang Leina's words were mixed with a few meaningless words.

Apparently, she hadn't completely gotten rid of the influence caused by the Shadow in the Warp.

When speaking, she would involuntarily mix in some meaningless syllables.

"Pfft!" Zhou Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Bastard, a-mi-nos!" Xiang Xiang Leina saw Zhou Yun laughing out loud, and for a time, the words in her mouth became even more chaotic.

Zhou Yun smiled and didn't tease her anymore, but walked to the table and looked at the map.

"How many areas do we control now?" He asked General Droste.

"The Sixth District, Seventh District, and New Eighth District have all fallen, and the Fifteenth, Twenty-sixth, and Thirty-fifth Districts are about to fall."

"The Twelfth, Fourteenth, and Thirty-third Districts are in bitter fighting, and it is expected that they won't last long either."

"There are eight other large districts that we have actively abandoned according to tactical needs."

General Droste pointed at the map, drawing a circle on it, representing the areas currently still under the control of the Cadian Shock Troops.

About forty percent of the lower hive had fallen, and the entire defensive line of the Cadian Shock Troops had shrunk rapidly.

And the Thirteenth District where Zhou Yun was located had become a protruding sharp corner.

"You are simply the best warrior I have ever seen... even many Astartes are far from being able to compare to you."

General Droste couldn't help but praise:

"You were actually able to lead the Thirteenth District to hold on for so long."

The Thirteenth District was extremely important in the plans of General Droste and Zhou Yun,

because the garbage mountain here was in direct contact with the hive outskirts, and a large number of swarm spore pods would be released in the hive city outskirts.

As long as the Thirteenth District could be held, the majority of the swarm's power would be unable to enter the interior of the hive city, and the defensive pressure in other areas would also be much smaller.

Likewise, the evacuation time for personnel inside the hive city would also be more abundant, and the less biomass would be left for the Tyranid organisms.

However—

"However, the time for retreat is also coming soon." Zhou Yun said, looking at the map.

The state of the two large districts near the Thirteenth District, the Twelfth and Fourteenth Districts, was also not good.

The swarm could of course also realize the strategic value of the Thirteenth District. Since they couldn't take down the Thirteenth District, they would concentrate the swarm falling into the interior of the hive city to attack the two nearby large districts.

If the Twelfth and Fourteenth large districts were breached, the Thirteenth District would be completely isolated,

having to face a pincer attack from both front and back... and Zhou Yun couldn't be split into two, only able to defend one side of the defensive line. It was time for the Thirteenth District to be abandoned.

However, after abandoning it, the swarm wouldn't get any benefits either.

The Thirteenth District was mainly divided into two parts: one was the garbage mountain, and the other was the parish of the Daughters of Death.

When retreating, the Cadians would transform the garbage mountain into a minefield.

The swarm would have to pay a considerable price before it could pass through the garbage mountain and reach the parish of the Daughters of Death...

What was in the parish of the Daughters of Death? The answer was nothing.

Due to the doctrine of the Daughters of Death, their entire parish was almost the place with the lowest population density in the hive city.

The people were basically almost dead, and even the flesh had been scraped clean, leaving only a pile of white bones.

According to Zhou Yun's requirements, the Daughters of Death placed small bombs inside these white bones.

When the Tyranid swarm entered, these white bones would explode in front of them, striving not to leave even a single bone for the Tyranid swarm.

The Tyranid swarm was like a group of starving ghosts who had been hungry for three days and three nights.

They racked their brains, waded through the minefield, and after sacrificing a large number of units, finally pried open the lunchbox of the Thirteenth District that made them drool.

Then, they would discover that this lunchbox was empty inside.

Let alone biomass, not even a bone was left for them.

The biomass consumed before could not be replenished in the slightest, and the swarm was purely at a loss in the Thirteenth District.

Zhou Yun hoped to use this method to make the Hive Mind start to hold a grudge against him.

Most units in the swarm have no consciousness, emotions, or souls.

Precisely because of this, many people ignore a fact... the Hive Mind is not an absolutely rational existence.

In fact, it has emotions and cravings.

It is ravenous, it is greedy, it has desires and impulses, it even gets hot-headed.

It also roars because of victory, gets angry because of failure, is furious because of the waste of biomass, and is troubled because of a war that sees no end.

The more biomass invested, the smaller the return, and the more impatient the Hive Mind will be.

!. Read

It will also hate and desire to eliminate the individual that made it waste biomass even more.

Zhou Yun just wanted to use this to guide the Hive Mind little by little, making it hate him, loathe him, and think that he is extremely threatening...

and make it deploy more units to deal with Zhou Yun.

Anyway, Zhou Yun wouldn't die before exchanging for the Anywhere Door.

The more units the Hive Mind sent to deal with him, the greater his gains would be.

He could also conversely share the pressure on others, why not do it?

"Ma Ka Paka! Start organizing the retreat."

Xiang Xiang Leina said, her words mixed with meaningless syllables:

"I will use the Voice of Bewitchment to command the evacuation... Aba Aba!"

"This is unnecessary, the Cadians know how to take care of themselves." General Droste rejected Xiang Xiang Leina's proposal.

"And if you release the Voice of Bewitchment now... I'm afraid everyone won't be able to help laughing out loud." Zhou Yun patted Xiang Xiang Leina on the back and said.

Xiang Xiang Leina's expression twisted and twitched abruptly.

The three of them packed up the map and left the hut, heading to the outside position to command the Cadian Shock Troops to retreat.

The swarm would certainly not miss this opportunity to attack, but what Zhou Yun really cared about was not this.

Zhou Yun glanced at the shadow beside him and nodded slightly toward it.

The Cadians know how to take care of themselves.

Xiang Xiang Leina soon witnessed the meaning of this sentence.

To be honest, Xiang Xiang Leina had only witnessed wars between gangs, so the scene in front of her was a bit beyond her cognition.

Between the garbage mountains, the Cadians began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Whether it was packing up supplies, covering the rear, or being responsible for artillery cover, the Cadians were acting with the fastest movements.

Every movement of theirs seemed to be engraved in their genes, and every soldier appeared in the correct position just right.

The most dangerous mission was covering the main force's retreat; they had to put down the lasguns in their hands and withdraw from the front line at the very last moment.

But these warriors had no hesitation, shouting "Cadia Stands" and charging toward the swarm that was launching an offensive.

"This is the Cadian Shock Troops, one of the best mortal units under the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang." Zhou Yun stood beside Xiang Xiang Leina and said.

"One of?!" General Droste's mouth revealed a smile, but his tone carried dissatisfaction: "Be confident, we are the best."

"Is that so? I support the Cadians, but the Tempestus Scions, Death Korps of Krieg, and Catachan Jungle Fighters all have their own supporters."

Zhou Yun's gaze scanned the surroundings while smiling at General Droste:

"And those units commanded by several legendary commissars, such as Commissar Cain's Valhallan 597th, Commissar Yarrick's Armageddon Steel Legion, are also famous."

"They are indeed all great and worthy of respect." General Droste laughed a few times and said: "But they are not Cadians."

"My meaning is, if they were Cadians, they would be even better."

As he said this, General Droste leaned close to Zhou Yun and asked in a low voice without changing his expression: "Should be coming, right?"

"Almost." Zhou Yun nodded slightly.

His senses, strengthened by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's blessing, faintly sensed that there was a slight abnormality in the light and shadow around him...

The Hive Mind really couldn't bear to let the three of them go... let go of the three current leaders of Ashford.

The sound of claws breaking through the air rang out, suddenly piercing toward Zhou Yun's neck—

I drew the author welfare that draws once per thousand monthly tickets today, and then I won a hundred yuan. I was very happy at first, and then I found out that the hundred yuan was a consolation prize, and there was at least a hundred yuan.
