Chapter 99: Bolter Girl

This was the second time Zhou Yun and Letna had come to the Ninth District,

but this time, the situation on the street was very different from the last time.

The street was no longer bustling, the stalls had been swept away, and many of the nearby buildings still retained the scorched marks from the last time the Tzeentch corruption was removed, black and gruesome.

And in these gruesome houses, the residents had been evacuated.

But Letna's psychic intuition reminded her that there were gazes looking at him and Zhou Yun in these houses.

"Don't worry, they are just Astra Militarum warriors." Zhou Yun comforted Letna.

Letna showed a slightly aggrieved expression, as if she felt she was being treated like a fool again: "Of course I know they are Astra Militarum."

"The one who invited us this time isn't it General Mellon Droste of the Astra Militarum?"

Not long ago, this Astra Militarum commander who had taken over the entire Ashford contacted Zhou Yun through the channels left by the Governor.

He hoped to meet with Zhou Yun and Letna to discuss matters regarding the defense of Ashford.

Zhou Yun naturally wouldn't refuse; he had been prepared to deal with this day from the beginning.

Of course, for safety reasons, Dixi was also following them in the shadows, always vigilant against possible dangers.

"Aren't you worried at all?"

Letna looked at the Astra Militarum warriors passing by her with fearful yet curious eyes.

That Astra Militarum female soldier with scars on her face nodded at Letna, those pale purple eyes reflecting in Letna's eyes.

Letna couldn't help but tremble.

She had heard the legends of the Cadian Shock Troops since she was a child, and she didn't expect to see them here today.

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Yun glanced at Letna and asked.

"How can I not be afraid?" Letna tongue-tied: "I am an illegal psyker..."

In the Empire, when the Astra Militarum encounters an illegal psyker, they usually execute them on the spot.

"And you, aren't you worried? Think about those heretical remarks of yours..." Letna whispered.

"I won't die here; this is destined." Zhou Yun smiled slightly and said with extreme ease.

Letna was stunned for a moment; she saw extreme confidence on Zhou Yun's face,

as if all the Astra Militarum in this entire district added together couldn't keep his life.

"... Then, then what about me?" Letna couldn't help but ask.

She was already used to trusting Zhou Yun.

Most of Zhou Yun's judgments were correct, and he always took out some strange items to accomplish things that were almost impossible.

"You?"

Zhou Yun blinked, looking at Letna:

"I don't know, you might die here, or you might die somewhere else."

Listening to Zhou Yun's nonsense literature, Letna's expression couldn't help but stiffen.

Just at this time, a white-haired woman wearing silver power armor walked toward Zhou Yun and Letna.

Zhou Yun noticed that a rose symbol was carved on the woman's power armor.

Letna couldn't help but put her finger on the tattoo on her cheek, unable to help but pray to the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang:

"The Hua Hua Hua Di Huang is above, that is a Battle Sister..."

For a girl like Letna who piously believed in the State Church... Battle Sisters were their objects of admiration,

just like every big boy likes Astartes.

Zhou Yun expressed flatness toward this.

He was different; he preferred Chaos Astartes with different forms and rich designs.

Our Chaos Astartes are truly a chaotic big world; if you want mature, steady, and wise, there are blue Thousand Sons ash cans,

if you want green Death Guard stinky cans that are humorous, kind, and interesting,

if you want red World Eaters cans that are enthusiastic, cheerful, and lively,

and if you want our husband-sister, there are purple Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's Children sexy cans...

Our Chaos Astartes eat really well... oh, and the Tyranid swarm with rich flesh beauty is also good.

Just when Zhou Yun was thinking about these blasphemous contents in his brain,

that bolter girl... oh no, the Battle Sister stopped in front of Zhou Yun and Letna.

"I am Battle Sister Acelade of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, supporting Ashford under the order of Great Sister Magda Grace."

"Currently under the command of General Droste, I am here to receive the two of you to go to the meeting."

Letna looked at this Battle Sister from the Order of Our Martyred Lady in front of her and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

She was an illegal psyker; there was no guarantee she wouldn't get a bolter round from this Battle Sister.

But this Battle Sister named Acelade only let her gaze stay on Letna for a moment: "Illegal psyker?"

Letna's expression stiffened. There was some indifference in the eyes of this Battle Sister.

Before Letna could explain, the Battle Sister's gaze fell on Zhou Yun.

But strangely... her gaze seemed a bit eager.

"I have seen you before, Lord Zhou Yun." The Battle Sister's tone even carried some respect.

"Huh?" Zhou Yun blinked in confusion.

!. Read

He feared that the next sentence of this Battle Sister would be "I saw a blue raccoon cat in the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's revelation."

"Right here, in the Ninth District."

Fortunately, the Battle Sister didn't say that, but pointed to the scorched building by the road:

"You saved this place, and I am responsible for leading the Battle Sisters to clear the remaining corruption and pollution."

"But the Governor told General Droste that you are a heretic, a shameless cultist."

Speaking of this, the Battle Sister paused:

"However, I have sneaked into the under-hive a few times with a few Cadian warriors."

"What I saw was a pious believer of the State Church, holding a pious faith in the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang and hatred for alien heretics, enduring humiliation and heavy burdens to sneak into the bottom-hive, sanctioning the cultists who believe in the Changer of Ways and the God of Plague, killing the right-hand man of the Genestealer Patriarch, and resisting the offensive of the Genestealers in the under-hive."

"What I saw was a warrior who piously hunted the enemies of humanity in the name of the Primarchs; you are so humble, even never promoting your own deeds, but attributing all glory to the Primarchs."

The more the Battle Sister said, the more Letna and Zhou Yun's expressions couldn't hold up.

It seemed that this Battle Sister really sneaked into the under-hive to do an investigation,

but the problem was that the version investigated didn't seem quite right...

This version seemed to be the version deliberately spread by the Genestealers to make Zhou Yun known to everyone and facilitate the investigation of his identity.

In this version, Zhou Yun suddenly became a fanatic, ignoring all dangers to sneak into cultists, mutants, and Genestealers, hunting these enemies of humanity,

and even the name Leman Russ that Zhou Yun fabricated was interpreted as a kind of humility, a performance of hunting demons in the name of the Primarchs and leaving all glory to the Gene-Primarchs.

"That is to say... General Droste trusts the two of us now?" Letna asked while following behind the Battle Sister.

"No, that General intends to judge whether you are worthy of trust in his own way." The Battle Sister shook her head lightly and stopped.

The place where she stood was a church sandwiched between buildings.

Zhou Yun was slightly stunned.

This church was the one that Nama Karl often came to pray at, the one suspected of being infiltrated by Tzeentch's power.
