Chapter 61 Necrons: A Hundred Days of Blood (Part 2) (2-in-1)
[In the fourth week, plump and bulging ripe fruits covered the endless wilderness.]
[It’s just that the cargo ship on the harvest day, which Zoya said was like a fat bird, symbolizing a good harvest, did not arrive as promised. 】
[Your eyes continue to scan around, passing through the purple-skinned fruits, and you also tighten your grip on the laser gun in your hand.]
[You are sitting in the sidecar of the hoverbike driven by Zoya, quickly passing over the crops. 】
[The old man Vader, wearing windproof sunglasses, skillfully drives another hover motorcycle, following closely behind you.]
[The decisive Vader followed your advice.]
[Now, you are heading to Blessing Town, one of the few inhabited cities on this planet.]
[Only there is the transportation hub that can leave the agricultural world. 】
[You moved your posture and glanced across Zhuo Ya’s fair face.]
[You looked at Vader behind you from the corner of your eye.]
[You are absolutely certain that the old man is definitely not an ordinary farmer who only knows how to repair machines.]
[Judging from the other party's vigorous and resolute behavior, he is more like a veteran of the empire who has experienced many battles. 】
[You looked straight ahead, with a smile on your lips.]
【Suddenly, Zhuoya's voice came to your ears.】
[Due to the supernova explosion of the Karakul Twin Star, surging energy fluctuations appear to have destroyed the communication network on the agricultural world.]
[This prevents you from contacting Zhuoya’s brother.]
[As the Imperial Guard of Blessing Town, he has the authority to arrange spaceships for you to leave this planet.]
[At the same time, Zhuo Ya is even more worried about the safety of his brother. He may not leave with you because of his responsibilities. 】
[You remained silent, trying hard to listen to Zhuo Ya’s worries.]
[You have doubts about whether the three of you can successfully board the spaceship.]
[However, old man Wade seems not worried about this. 】
[You think the other party has a backup plan, so you decide to follow the old man’s arrangement.]
[After a day and a night of non-stop galloping, you are about to arrive at the first garrison location on the journey.]
[Hover motorcycles that operate overloaded for a long time not only need to replenish fuel, but even the engine needs to replace parts and cool down.]
[However, when you arrived near the garrison location, you didn’t see any human beings.]
[You became alert for a moment, the laser gun in your hand buzzed, ready to go.]
[Old Man Wade’s voice slowly sounded.]
[According to his report, the person stationed here is an old friend with a withdrawn personality. The other party has regarded this place as his home and will not leave easily. 】
[You took a deep breath, turned around and told the nervous Zhuoya to be ready to escape.]
[You waved your hand to reject Vader's move to enter the investigation with you.]
[You jump off the sidecar of the suspended motorcycle and sneak towards the station quietly. 】
【You successfully entered the interior of the factory.】
[You glance at a human corpse on the ground that has been completely stripped of its skin.]
[Scattered around the bloody corpse were the broken bodies of several servitors.]
[You searched the entire factory with extreme vigilance, but found no trace of the enemy.]
[The other party is like a ghost that appears out of thin air, takes away human flesh and blood, and then disappears without a trace again.]
[You walked out of the factory and informed Wade.]
[You also asked Zhuoya to seize the time to replace parts and add fuel.]
[Inside the factory, Vader looked gloomy as he stared at the corpse of his old friend.]
[Vide was silent for a moment and suddenly said to you. 】
[The reason why he believed your words was firstly because the emperor appeared, and secondly it was a premonition from a veteran.]
[The situation before him also made him understand that the peaceful and peaceful agricultural world in the past had completely disappeared.]
[Soon after, the hard-working Zhuo Ya completed the replacement of parts and added fuel. 】
[She began to pick ripe fruits around the factory to supplement your supplies.]
[After thinking about it for a while, Wade, who was worried, told you his follow-up plan. 】
[After entering Blessing Town, you must take Zoya to find her brother, while Wade will find other ways alone. 】
[If Zoya’s brother cannot arrange a spaceship for you.]
[Then you go to Broken Corner Alley in the town and find a Rogue Trader named Red Hand. He will help you leave this planet. Even if Vader is not around, he will help. 】
["If... I mean if I die, please help me take care of Zoya..." The old man Wade hesitated and said in a calm tone. 】
【You fell into silence.】
[You stare at Zhuoya who is happily picking a huge fruit and nod slowly.]
【You have once again embarked on a journey of escape.】
[Next, the stations you pass by are either completely empty, or have a lot of blood stains and corpses left. 】
[After a few days, after a long journey, you finally arrived at the outskirts of Blessing Town. 】
[However, even Zhuo Ya, who has no battlefield experience, noticed something was wrong. 】
[Just on the side of the road, a Chimera personnel carrier and a Leman Russ tank were randomly abandoned on the spot.]
[You picked up the laser gun and stepped forward to check.]
[You found that these heavy weapons of the defense force not only have sufficient fuel, but also do not have any mechanical failures, and even the machine spirits are very active. 】
[You accidentally found some equipment from the personnel carrier that was too late to take away.]
[A hell gun and some scattered protective equipment.]
[You call the two of them to come forward.]
[You put an Imperial Guard helmet on Zoya’s head.]
[You stare at Zoya’s restless eyes and tired face, and gently help fix the tie on her chin.]
[You hand the laser gun to Zoya and tell her to shoot first and ask questions later if she is in danger.]
[You expressionlessly picked up the battery backpack and shouldered the hell gun.]
[The old man Vader moved his mechanical prosthesis, bent down and picked up a fallen laser pistol, his eyes seemed full of nostalgia.]
[Everything is ready, you gave up the hoverbike that was about to be scrapped and chose to walk into the streets of Blessing Town. 】
【Everywhere you look is devastated.】
[The ground is full of explosion craters and human remains with their skin peeled off.]
[At the same time, the roar of artillery fire occasionally came from the direction of the Imperial Guard's station, as if the fierce resistance was still going on. 】
[At this time, Zhuo Ya, who has always been bold, also became frightened. She couldn't help but hide behind you. 】
[You subconsciously tightened your grip on the hell gun in your hand, and kept scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.]
[Vide, who was following you, glanced at the surrounding environment a few times, frowned, and spoke to you in a lowered voice. ]
[The situation of the Imperial Guard may not be good at the moment. It is best for you to go directly to Broken Corner Alley and try your luck. 】
[Zoya is even more worried about her brother's situation and is full of resistance to Wade's words. 】
【But she still followed your footsteps and did not act without permission.】
[At this moment, at the corner of the street ahead, seven or eight humans armed with weapons rushed out in a panic. 】
[You were about to ask, but found that after they saw you, they all fell into a state of madness and raised their weapons one after another.]
[You pulled the trigger with an indifferent expression.]
[In just a few seconds, the scorching laser from the hell gun completely reduced the humans on the opposite side to ashes. 】
[Unfortunately, the roar of the hell gun also attracted more deadly enemies. 】
[In an instant, a ghoul-like and terrifying figure appeared in the shadows of the street. 】
[It bears a blood-stained metal skull head, and its tall body made of living metal constantly reflects the cold light.]
[Narrow and sharp razors have completely replaced the metal fingers. 】
[Its limbs and neck are wrapped with strips of bloody human skin, like a cloak made of flesh and blood.]
[What is even more frightening is that just behind the back of this terrifying figure, a bloody human skeleton is swaying in the wind.]
[Necrons, Skinners.]
[You subconsciously opened your eyes and pulled the trigger of the hell gun.]
["Run quickly——" You didn't have time to warn, so you could only roar at the top of your lungs. 】
[The roar of the hell gun resounded all around, and the laser storm continued to impact the living metal.]
[However, a hellgun's searing laser has no effect on the Skinner.]
[On the contrary, because it destroyed the human skin wrapped around its body, it completely aroused the other party's bloodthirsty desire. 】
[You gritted your teeth and pulled the trigger.]
[You must try your best to create time for Zoya and Wade to escape.]
[At this moment, the old man Wade suddenly took a deep breath.]
[He suddenly raised the mechanical prosthetic limb, and with the sound of metal trembling, a firearm that was much larger than the laser pistol was revealed from the mechanical prosthetic limb. ]
[That is clearly a bolt pistol!]
[The muscular old man Wade, wearing windproof sunglasses, passed by you. 】
["Go quickly! Go to Broken Corner Alley to find Red Hand!" He ordered you without looking back. 】
[Before he finished speaking, Vader held the bolt pistol with both hands and pulled the trigger.]
[In an instant, the roar of explosive bombs was deafening. 】
[It also caused the Skinner who was approaching to suddenly fall to the ground, barely stopping its movement.]
[You immediately stopped shooting, and the overheated hell gun kept making a rapid buzzing sound.]
[You turned around, grabbed Zhuo Ya's waist, and lifted her whole body on your shoulders. ]
[Zhuo Ya didn’t try to struggle, but her purple eyes were filled with tears.]
[Her thin lips were bitten tightly by her teeth, and traces of scarlet blood oozed out.]
["Grandpa——" Just as Vader's back was about to disappear, Zoya seemed unable to hold back her excitement any longer and let out her last cry. 】
["Be obedient! My child! Try to survive!" Wade shouted without looking back. 】
[At this moment, like an old lion, he skillfully took out explosive bombs from his mechanical prosthetic limbs, and shot them at the joints of the skinner with great precision, trying desperately to block the opponent's movements.
】
[You carried Zhuo Ya and rushed deep into the nearby streets, running towards the houses. 】
[After dozens of seconds, the roar of explosive bombs suddenly stopped.]
[You blinked your dry eyes and took a deep breath to suppress the waves surging in your heart.]
[On your shoulder, Zhuoya, who was in tears, covered her mouth desperately, as if she was afraid that her crying would reveal your location. ]
[You took Zoya and kept hiding between houses.]
[Until Zhuo Ya gradually calms down and starts to show you the path. 】
[A few minutes later, you are already very close to the location of Broken Point Alley.]
[However, a shell from the direction of the defense force's station landed in front of you with a terrifying scream. 】
[Even though the distance is still far away, the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion still knocked you and Zoya to the ground. 】
[You felt dizzy and closed your eyes.]
【You lost too much blood.】
[You struggled to open your eyes and tried to stand up.]
[You find that one of your legs was cut off by flying shrapnel at some point, and blood is flowing on the ground.]
[You look around hurriedly, trying to find traces of Zhuo Ya. 】
[You see Zoya lying on the ground a few meters away, and most of the defense force’s helmet has been broken into pieces.]
[There seemed to be no obvious external injuries on her body. There was only a wound on her forehead caused by the splashed gravel, and a lot of blood flowed out. 】
[You took a deep breath, gritted your teeth and crawled towards Zoya.]
[However, between the billowing dust that has not yet dissipated, a terrifying figure slowly moved out. 】
[You subconsciously looked up and couldn't help but take a breath of air.]
[I saw that an old face belonging to Vader was covered on the metal skeleton, and fresh human skin was wrapped again between the living metal. ]
[At the same time, vague and low murmurs continued to float from the opponent's skull head. 】
["Zhuo Ya——" the terrifying skinner muttered repeatedly. 】
[Grinning your teeth, you took out a frag grenade from your arms and threw it towards the opponent, trying to stop the Skinner's advance. 】
[You tried your best to crawl to the unconscious Zoya.]
[You want to wake her up, but you find dark red blood pouring out from between her mouth and nose.]
[Your lips tremble slightly, and your vision gradually blurs.]
[As someone who has been on the battlefield for a long time, of course you understand what this means.]
【You managed to hold yourself up.】
[You gently held Zhuo Ya’s head and let her lie on your lap.]
["I'm sorry...I can't save you...I'm sorry..." Your eyes are blood red and you are mumbling to yourself]
[For a moment, you seem to have forgotten the Skinner who is so close at hand.]
[A tear fell silently from your chin and landed on Zhuo Ya’s cheek. 】
[The heavy footsteps of the Skinner gradually approach.]
[Without raising your head, you just took out the last frag grenade from your arms.]
[You and Zoya were swallowed up by the explosion of flames.]
[In a trance, you seemed to see the unconscious Zhuo Ya slowly rising into the sky, and a pair of white wings seemed to grow from her back...]
【Your consciousness fell into darkness.】
【you are dead.】

Four thousand words cannot be divided into chapters, and there is no way to divide it into chapters.
In the end, I thought about it and decided not to use the knife. Originally, I wanted the Skinner to wear Zoya's face to stimulate the protagonist.
And it also left a glimmer of hope for the future, not counting the knife, haha.
It has been confirmed that it will be released at 12 o'clock on Friday this week.
