First, I Have No Secrets

"Did you find the information you were looking for?"

Zhou Yun sized up Malkit and Monger, who were holding a parchment and a datapad.

Malkit nodded, seemingly appraising Zhou Yun as well.

Monger, standing beside him, voiced their doubt: "What about the weapons you wanted?"

Zhou Yun himself didn't even have a pistol, let alone a warehouse full of weapons.

"I took them all," Zhou Yun said with a smile.

His haul from the PDF warehouse was indeed rich.

The star system Asphodel was located in was known as the "Shield of Styx."

This system itself served as a shield, protecting the Baal System, home to the Blood Angels' homeworld.

Over the long years, the Shield of Styx had intercepted the Ling Clan, Chaos renegades, and Ork waves.

The PDF forces here had long been tempered into capable fighters, and their equipment was far superior to that of ordinary PDF.

Zhou Yun not only found five hundred Agrippina Type 3 Automatic Rifles from the warehouse but also two hundred M40 Armageddon Pattern and U90 Assault Cannons.

There were even fifty Catreal Pattern M36 Lasguns, standard issue for the Cadian Shock Troops.

This made Zhou Yun gasp slightly. The Cadian Shock Troops were among the top-tier forces in the Astra Militarum, far beyond what the PDF could compare to.

To find fifty of their standard-issue lasguns at a single PDF outpost in Asphodel made Zhou Yun's smile almost uncontrollable.

Monger stared at Zhou Yun's barely suppressed smile, stunned. He quickly walked to the PDF warehouse and returned moments later, shocked.

"Empty! The PDF warehouse is empty?!"

Monger took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask:

"Did you really take an entire warehouse of weapons? Where did you put them?"

Then he shook his head and said to himself, "Never mind, I won't pry into your business."

Zhou Yun gave Monger a strange look.

Why did he feel like the kid had misunderstood something?

"I don't have many secrets," Zhou Yun said, scratching his head.

"Neither does the First Legion," the winged figure in the white light said faintly.

Monger didn't pick up on Zhou Yun's comment. He handed the datapad in his hand to Zhou Yun.

"This is the map of Old Sector Eight, as promised."

Zhou Yun took the map from Monger's hand. Every street in Old Sector Eight was clearly displayed on it.

He easily found the location of the Corpse Guild.

According to the intelligence Old One-Eye had provided, the ledger belonging to Ignatius Carkas should be within the Corpse Guild.

A satisfied smile curved Zhou Yun's lips.

It had been the right decision to come to Old Sector Eight; he had gained a lot.

He used the Ring of Passage to open a tunnel leading behind the PDF encampment.

That was the urban area of Old Sector Eight. Previously, due to the collapsed rubble mountains, neither Scavengers nor gang members had been able to enter.

The streets in this urban area were much wider than in the underhive, with roads wide enough for three or four vehicles to pass side-by-side.

Along the streets were neatly arranged high-rise buildings, stretching endlessly into the distance and disappearing into the darkness.

The entire city was silent and dark, sending a chill down one's spine.

Malkit nodded slightly at Zhou Yun, and with Monger, turned towards the dark street, their figures disappearing into the distance.

Watching their retreating figures, Zhou Yun couldn't help but shake his head.

Whatever they intended to do, it was highly unlikely to succeed.

Even without Zhou Yun, the two of them would have eventually found a way into the PDF encampment, obtained the information they wanted, and retrieved what they were looking for.

However, in Zhou Yun's memory, Asphodel had not experienced any large-scale Chaos incursions before its destruction.

This meant that no matter what plan Monger and Malkit had, it was most likely to fail in the end.

Even if they succeeded...

Zhou Yun thought about the future not too far away, when the Blood Angels, Adepta Sororitas, Astra Militarum, Necrons, and the Tyranid Leviathan fleet would engage in a massive brawl in the Stygian System.

It seemed Chaos was not the only one to worry about. Monger and Malkit, two pathetic heretics, couldn't summon much of Nurgle's legions.

Furthermore, in the eyes of The Great Devourer, Chaos was inedible scrap, predators competing for its food.

The Great Devourer was likely the same in Chaos's eyes – soulless beings, beasts competing for its food.

It was highly probable that the two would fight when they met.

At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for Chaos to guard the nation while the Tyranids destroy it.

"Forget it," Zhou Yun shook his head. It no longer concerned him.

He probably wouldn't have any further dealings with those two heretics.

Zhou Yun collected his thoughts and looked at the large number of firearms and weapons in his Fourth-Dimensional Pocket.

[Item Name: Agrippina Type 3 Infantry Automatic Rifle]

[Origin: Cadia Sector - Agrippina System - Agrippina]

[Description: A common infantry automatic rifle produced in Agrippina, with only basic iron sights, and significant recoil and weight.]

"Evaluation: The weight of an infantry automatic rifle, reassuring."

[Production Date: 765.M41]

[Condition: 90% new, used by PDF]

[Value: 2500 Yuan]

[Item Name: M40 Armageddon Pattern Autogun]

[Origin: Armageddon System - Armageddon]

[Description: A common infantry automatic rifle produced in Armageddon, loud, simple, and deadly, dealing higher damage to Ork.]

"Evaluation: Soldiers who followed the legendary Commissar Yarrick were equipped with this weapon. The Orks thought this infantry automatic rifle was very potent."

[Production Date: 865.M41]

[Condition: 90% new, used by PDF]

[Value: 3000 Yuan]

"Name: U90 Assault Cannon."

"Price: 3000 Yuan."

"Name: Catreal Pattern M36 Lasgun."

"Price: 5000 Yuan."

Zhou Yun quickly did the math. Excluding the two hundred Agrippina Type 3 Infantry Automatic Rifles sold to Rag's gang, the remaining weapons could be sold in his Fourth-Dimensional Pocket for a total of 1.6 million.

A fortune!

Zhou Yun couldn't help but lick his lips. If he could raid another seven or eight PDF outposts, he would have enough for the Anywhere Door.

But he quickly dismissed the thought.

It wasn't out of fear. After all, with the 1.6 million he had, he could acquire new items. Combined with the Body Clay to hide his identity and the Psykana Cap for instant teleportation, stealing equipment from PDF outposts was still a possibility.

The main reason was that the current Governor, Augustus Valerius Flax, wasn't particularly attentive to the PDF. It was hard to say how much good equipment the PDF still had on hand, and the risk simply didn't match the potential reward.

Most importantly, even if Augustus Flax was as negligent as he was, if Zhou Yun were to raid seven or eight PDF outposts at once, he would definitely be noticed.

In Zhou Yun's memory, that guy had managed to secretly assemble a squad of psykers from somewhere.

Not just one psyker, but a whole organized private army of psykers. The combat effectiveness of a group of psykers was far greater than that of the PDF.

Zhou Yun also deeply suspected that the method by which the Governor assembled his private psyker force was not exactly loyal.

"So, what's your next move?" the winged figure in the white light asked.

"First, I'll go to the Corpse Guild and get the notebook Old One-Eye asked for."
