Drooling and crouched low, they crept toward the pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this desolate wilderness, few scavengers escaped the pursuit of these predators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the pod's hatch unlocked and slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pack leader, smelling fresh meat, bared its fangs and leapt inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrible yelp followed, and the lead coyote was sent flying out, landing several meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone inside had kicked it out with brutal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pack leader struggled to its feet, clearly injured. Its snout was dented, and several teeth were missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger burned in its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No human scavenger had ever harmed it like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning its pack, the leader prepared to attack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the coyotes charged the hatch, beams of laser fire erupted from within, striking them down one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader's head was scorched black by the searing rays, and it collapsed to the ground with a whimper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the pod emerged a missionary saint in a gray-and-white hooded robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting his hood, he revealed a bald head inscribed with holy runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saint's name was Fran, one of the most devout and exceptional missionaries from the holy city of Ereda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His people held high hopes for him, believing he could spread the Savior's light to even the farthest corners of the galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pressing theHoly Redeemer's Codexto his chest, Fran gazed at the towering steel hive city on the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Martila's primary hive city—his mission field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out a handheld navigation device, Fran measured the distance to the hive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it appeared close, it was at least 2,000 kilometers away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid orbital defense systems and hive city anti-air arrays, the pods had to land far from the cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without first disrupting or disabling these defenses, any pod approaching the hive would be obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Fran, 800 missionaries from Ereda were scattered across Martila's desolate regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fran returned to the pod and strapped on the backpack provided by the holy city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside were a portable water condenser, compressed food supplies, and various tools for survival and spreading the faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dismantling the pod's door, Fran repurposed it into a crude iron sled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a knife, he skinned the mutated coyotes, piling their meat onto the sled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everything prepared, he began his arduous journey toward the hive city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trek would be grueling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fran needed to traverse nearly 2,000 kilometers of wasteland to reach the city's outskirts, where he could devise a way to infiltrate it and spread the Savior's faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take a long time, but he had time to spare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the distant hive city, a fervent light shone in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight years from now, the Savior will descend upon this world to deliver its people from suffering!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Fran set out, more mutated coyotes, drawn by the scent of blood, gathered around the pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Fran was a safe distance away, the pod's self-destruct mechanism activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detecting the approaching threats, the pod exploded violently, its shrapnel killing many of the predators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrified by the explosion, the surviving coyotes scattered into the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gray-black serpent bared its fangs, ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, Fran drove a sharp knife into its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Praise the Savior! Thank you for this gift!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing the snake, Fran rejoiced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its flesh would provide him with precious water and protein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After severing the head, Fran drank its blood to quench his thirst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face bore several scars, and his body was marked by numerous wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months of trekking through the wasteland, enduring monster attacks and harsh conditions, had taken their toll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ordinary human would never have survived this long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The irradiated environment and parasite-infested food would have killed anyone not genetically enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fran was no ordinary human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Eredan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though classified as abhuman by Eden, the Eredans were descendants of the cunning and carried traces of Tyranid genes, granting them superior endurance and survival capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their nanite silicon implants further protected them by shielding against radiation, storing heat, and even extracting trace amounts of moisture from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with these advantages, Fran was nearing his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't find a human settlement soon, he might not survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As despair began to creep in, the ground trembled faintly beneath Fran's feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vibrations grew stronger, causing pebbles to bounce on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hooooot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long whistle pierced the air as a massive steel train, towering 4-5 meters high, came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sped toward the hive city, a mechanical behemoth cutting through the wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Martila's Titan Train, used to transport supplies and troops between the hive cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Praise the Savior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fran sprinted toward the train, hoping to board and hasten his journey to the hive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn't fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The train roared past, its wake knocking him to the ground and leaving behind a thick plume of black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeterred, Fran showed no sign of frustration or anger at the missed opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Missionaries like him were unwavering and serene, their faith enabling them to endure failure and danger with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking himself up, Fran continued along the tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed following the rails would lead him to a human settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the train would need to stop for resupply along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reached such a point, he could stow away on the train and enter the hive city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Train Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small settlement, isolated in the wasteland, housed tens of thousands of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a maintenance point for the Titan Train, the town's economy revolved around servicing the massive machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repair workers boarded the train to inspect and fix any issues with the help of the Tech-Priests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In return, the train provided the town with water, food, and fuel cells—resources critical for survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the intervals between train arrivals had grown longer due to rebel sabotage of the tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the town's resources were dwindling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While residents could hunt in the wasteland for food, solving the water shortage was far more challenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The town's water source was heavily polluted, causing sickness when consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They relied on the purified water brought by the train, supplied by the Hive City Water Purification Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the water quality had deteriorated—cloudy and foul-smelling—it was still drinkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the train's visits becoming rarer, the town's people were left thirsty and desperate, praying for its return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At long last, the Titan Train arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The repair workers eagerly boarded, only to be told by the Water Purification Association that their water supply contract had been terminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The town had lost its lifeline—precious, life-sustaining water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My
