In the two-and-a-half-month war between humans and undead, nearly 44 billion empire residents have returned to the Sea of ​​Souls.

44 billion, not 4.4 million. This number was normal for the Zero-3 Universe a hundred years ago. After all, in the eyes of the Zero-3 Empire, mortals were just a "resource" that could be consumed at will.

However, human life is not worthless, but is the "currency" of the empire.

The Zero Three Empire's star field war could easily result in losses of hundreds of billions, or even trillions.

However, in the human empire of the main universe, although the residents also belong to "currency", each one is "pricey".

As Universe 03, which was included in the territory of the main universe earlier, after a hundred years of improvement and the promotion and popularization of "Human Truth", the residents no longer regard the Primarchs and Astartes as demigods and angels, let alone the Emperor.

Be a god.

Moreover, the local residents of Universe 03 have been “upgraded” in all aspects.

D-1999, who had fought in another space before, was indeed too short for the Astartes, but D-1999 could not be said to be ordinary in the entire empire.

What you need to know is that after D-1999 returned from hell, his body data were 210cm and 150kg. Just looking at these, no one would think that D-1999 was not a macho man.

Even the auxiliary troops of the legion camp are usually around 2.2 to 2.3 meters tall without wearing power armor.

However, among the residents of the empire, especially the male residents of the main universe, the average height is already 184cm, and the average weight is also 92kg.

The average height and weight of female residents are 177cm and 66kg.

Highly developed nanotechnology, as well as a reasonable and rich diet, allow children born naturally to receive optimal nutrition, and their physical fitness far exceeds the average human level at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century.

As for lifespan?

Without any reconstructive surgery or prosthetic surgery, one can theoretically live to be around 800 years old.

However, even the official empire cannot calculate the upper limit of the life span of the current residents of the empire. Because there is no disease, the empire has not had a resident die of natural causes for 120 consecutive years.

Of course, residents of other universes that have just been incorporated into the Empire's territory will still die of old age and illness before they receive the planting of nanorobots and enjoy the Empire's medical technology.

These are enough to show that there is a qualitative difference between the Zero Three Empire and the Main Universe Empire, that is...

"rich".

It's not that the Zero Three Empire didn't want to, but that the Zero Three Empire was tortured so badly by the aliens and chaos that it didn't even have a chance to breathe.

But these are not the main differences between the residents of the empire and the former Zero Three Empire, or with human civilizations in other universes. What really makes the human empire stand out, and what aliens and chaos cannot understand is——

"Plenty of martial virtue"!

…

Dim light in the evening.

"Ta! Ta!" The crisp gunshot sound unique to the pulse rifle.

"Boom! Boom!" There is also the sound of Necronomicon Gauss accumulating energy and launching.

The streets were filled with noisy gunfire, cannon fire, muzzle sparks and green beams of light flashing between the giant buildings on both sides.

All these indicate that the battle between humans and the undead here is quite fierce.

However, those who fought against the undead warriors were not the Imperial Army or the battalion auxiliary troops, but Imperial civilians in different costumes.

Among them were an old man wearing a floral vest and shorts, who looked like he was out to relax and get ready to warm up at a wine bar, and a female white-collar worker who had just gotten off work and was wearing a slim formal suit.

And civilians are armed with semi-automatic pulse rifles, using the separation wall in the green belt or ground vehicles as bunkers to exchange fire with the slow-moving metal zombies.

"Damn it! You disturbed my mood! Go to hell!"

"I haven't fed the child yet! Ah! Damn it!!"

There were not only the sounds of gunfire and gunfire in the streets, but also the angry roars of civilians.

Bang! Bang!

The moment the 10mm-caliber shellless pulse bullet hits the Necromancer, a micro-explosion occurs, and extremely fast and extremely small steel balls burst outward.

Dang! Dang!

The steel balls violently collided and impacted between the metal bodies.

A single shellless pulse bullet will have minimal impact on the Necromancer, but if it withstands hundreds or thousands of bullets, it will eventually end up as "cannon fodder".

You must know that the coalition government before the establishment of the Human Empire had fully legalized semi-automatic weapons, and there were countless types of ammunition.

As long as you are willing to invest a lot of money in this area, you can find all kinds of weapons and ammunition, as well as special customizations, etc. For example, the white-collar woman used a pink competition-style pulse rifle.

Coupled with everyone's martial culture, the imperial official, as the largest arms dealer, can be said to have made "a lot of money."

However, the losses on the civilian side were equally heavy.

The wall that serves as a bunker will gradually disintegrate after the vehicle is hit by a Gaussian beam. Once the bunker is lost, civilians without the protection of power armor and energy shields will also be killed immediately.

Even so, the vast majority of the civilians left on this street did not show any timidity. Almost all of them had the look of "I will die if I die" and "I will take one of them with me even if I die." They were not afraid at all.

In fact, the reason for such a mentality is very simple. If you have been influenced by words such as "kill the aliens" and "kill the monsters" for a long time, you will naturally have strong martial ethics and not be afraid of death.

After death, the soul returns to the sea of ​​souls, and after waiting for a period of time, it will be reincarnated back to the physical universe. These are all "scientifically based" and are clearly stated in the 9th edition of "Human Truth".

Coupled with the existence of the Human Emperor, the soul is not afraid of the influence of Chaos at all.

No past life memory or identity?

Although the empire is a "feudal" system, the welfare of the empire is simply too good to be imagined.

So gradually, death and reincarnation are like deleting your account and playing again.

However, in order to prevent the residents of the empire from "dying for death" and "creating a new account when you are tired", the empire's laws are quite strict on suicide.

Once through big data review, it turns out that the resident is just trying to figure out what the Sea of ​​Souls will look like after death, or what new face will be reborn after death, then don't blame the empire for being ruthless.

At this time, the imperial supervision department will take action and use psykers who are specifically responsible for this matter to directly bind the specific souls that have gone to the Sea of ​​Souls, imprison them depending on the situation, and also imprint their souls.

When this particular soul is finally "released" and reincarnated, a special birthmark will appear on the left temple.

People with special birthmarks cannot take up official positions in the empire, nor can they join the imperial army, let alone the legion battalion.

When the empire does this, it is "blatantly" discriminating. There is no such thing as political correctness in the imperial social system.

Faced with the results of such treatment, naturally no one dares to take chances.

Even though he has abundant martial virtue, he cannot resist the seemingly endless army of undead.

"Ouch!!!"

Suddenly, a Sangheili (elite) wearing pajamas and a nightcap burst through the glass with a roar unique to their clan, jumped from the third floor, and rushed into a neighborhood full of undead warriors.

Buzz-~! Buzz-~!

The elite, who was holding the sword hilt in his left and right hands, shook his hands fiercely, released two energy blades that emitted light red light, and began to slaughter one-sidedly among the undead warriors.

The destructive power of the extremely high-temperature sword blade is not comparable to that of shellless pulse bullets. Coupled with this elite's dexterous body and tyrannical brute force, the metal body can be chopped off and cut with ease.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

After a whirlwind of red light, the ground was covered with metal limbs, heads and the upper and lower parts of the body that had been cut in half.

It seems that facing the slow and uncoordinated Necronomicon warriors, it is unwise to launch a long-range confrontation with them. Only close combat can steadily "earn positive results".

"Ouch! Ouch!"

"For the empire! For the glory!"

And during this period, there were also many elites wearing their own casual and formal clothes going into battle.

Immediately afterwards, another transport boat, painted mainly in black with white accents, flashed red and blue lights and sailed over the street, then made a sharp turn and crossed the front line of the civilian defense line.

The hatch opens.

A group of twenty-four special teams wearing black-painted power armor and whose standard weapons were laser guns jumped out of the cabin immediately.

"This is Team 14, which has arrived at the target neighborhood and is ready to assist our civilians."

"Spread out, use a counterattack formation to move forward, don't forget your training content!"

The moment they landed, this group of special teams dispersed into groups of three or three, and the whole group was placed in a "pin" formation in the middle of the street, and then launched a counterattack against the Gaussian rays.

Buzz! Buzz!

Click---!!

However, the energy shield provided by the Sheriff TPS power armor will collapse directly after being exposed to one or two Gauss rays.

Some even had their shields shattered when they withstood the second ray attack, but the rays were still not neutralized and successfully hit the power armor, and then...

"ah…!!"

As the members of the special team screamed in pain, their power armor and bodies were scattered and disintegrated, turning into a pile of light green debris.

The counterattack was blocked.

There is no way, if you pull the viewing angle up...pull up...

From an altitude of several thousand meters, you can see the colonial urban area with a large number of huge buildings, filled with smoke and fire caused by explosions.

There are also a large number of toothless disks or scorpion-shaped undead aircraft flying through the sky. This shows that the human side has lost air supremacy. It also directly means that the Imperial Navy responsible for garrisoning the colony cannot withstand the offensive of the undead tomb.
To be continued...
