Safe Evacuation

Although Vals and the Tech-Sergeants had never seen these electronic devices before, they had grasped their general purpose and some of their functions within just a few minutes.

Unfortunately, as people from the 40k era, they had no interface equipment on them capable of transmitting information to the electronic devices of this world.

That was a little awkward!

The few of them looked at one another, then searched all over themselves for every available connection device. After discovering that none of them could be matched, they could only give up.

"Quan... sir!" Li Muye had originally wanted to call him Chapter Master Quan, but then remembered Quan Tiehua's earlier words: acting representative. Since he did not understand the situation or culture of their Chapter, he could only change it to "sir."

"From here on, some of us will accompany you to the target location. At the same time, in some of the areas we pass through, we'll have personnel waiting to receive us and will deploy some jamming devices, like those people who stayed behind just now!"

They had to leave the jamming devices behind. The network information in this world was far too complex and powerful, so they could only block it for a short while!

Quan Tiehua understood the situation in this world, but the brothers beside him did not. At that moment, they silently studied everything along the way. They had already achieved some initial results in learning the Huaxia language, and after combining that with the memories in the minds of those little Japanese devils earlier,

they had more or less pieced together the information among themselves. They were especially shocked to learn that there were more than two hundred countries and factions on such a tiny, miserable planet.

This tiny, miserable planet actually had so many countries and factions, and they had even developed in such "orderly" fashion.

It was simply inconceivable. Perhaps before the Emperor's Great Crusade, such a thing had never existed anywhere in the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

Boom, boom, boom, boom—

Just then, a tremendous explosion suddenly erupted behind them, from the place where they had been earlier.

No one stopped walking, but they all turned their heads to look back.

A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The shock wave was visibly devastating, uprooting the surrounding trees and sending them rolling toward the group.

Everyone instinctively began looking for cover to hide from the shock wave.

The Astartes, however, did not make any unnecessary movements. With just a gesture from Quan Tiehua, all the Astartes immediately planted themselves in front of Li Muye's group.

The next second, the shock wave swept directly across the Astartes' Power Armour. Splinters of wood and fragments like stones clanged against their Plasteel armour.

After most of the damage facing Li Muye and the others had been blocked, they could clearly see those steel giants standing majestically and motionlessly in front of them.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. As ordinary people, even the elite soldiers who ranked among the best in their entire units would have to take cover when facing a shock wave.

Yet these iron-armoured men were actually unafraid of the shock wave! They stood as firm as thick city walls.

The shock wave ended quickly, but everyone began to grow anxious.

The other side had clearly reacted quickly. Countless troops would probably soon surround and hunt them down from every direction, so they had to speed up.

The personnel who had deployed the jamming devices earlier also began notifying everyone after seeing this scene, telling them to check once again, shut down all electronic devices, and disconnect from the network.

Meanwhile, Vals and the Tech-Sergeants within the Crimson Angel Chapter gazed at the mushroom cloud from the explosion with fiery eyes.

In terms of overall capability, it could only be considered weak compared with the missiles of the Imperium. But after comparing it with the memories of the little Japanese devils, Vals and the others discovered that its cost-effectiveness was astonishing.

If they could obtain its technology and improve it after returning, they could probably mass-produce it in any industrial world.

It might not be very useful in space combat, but in ground warfare... its cost-effectiveness would be damn impressive.

They might even be able to combine it with existing Warhammer 40k technology, move the manufacturing line to the rear of the battlefield, and produce and fire them continuously.

The manufacturing and firing speed would be so fast that even Chaos would not have time to corrupt you before everything had already exploded into flowers.

Wasn't that cost-effectiveness damn impressive?

When Quan Tiehua noticed their little movements, he clearly understood what they were thinking.

But that did not matter. After confirming the effects of the system panel in his mind, ambition had risen within him.

Especially after coming to this world: although its technology was indeed inferior to the Imperium's, its practical techniques, theories, and mechanical knowledge were countless years ahead of those of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

He could take some of these things, then directly drag a few Mechanicus back to the Chapter, organize this technology together with the technology possessed by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and fuse them.

That would undoubtedly be a tremendous boost for the Chapter.

However, there was still one problem: he did not know how the system divided time after bringing them to other worlds. How did time here correspond to time in the Warhammer 40k universe?

"Sir! We've arrived!" Li Muye's voice interrupted his thoughts. Quan Tiehua looked up and saw the agents carrying guns walk into a patch of dense woodland and grass, where they lifted away the cloth being used for concealment.

Dozens of modified vehicles were parked there.

"Sir, you and your comrades can get into these vehicles. Our technicians have modified them to effectively block all kinds of detection!" Li Muye spoke as he signaled his men to drive the vehicles out.

Although they were still in the mountains, they were no longer far from the urban area.

At the same time, they had arranged for several state-supported companies to provide cover in plain sight.

Once everyone was ready, the vehicles slowly started up and drove toward the nearest highway entrance without surveillance equipment.

After reaching the highway entrance, the dozens of different vehicles immediately made U-turns at the junction and drove off in different directions.

Some headed for hot spring resorts, while others went to various tourist attractions.

The shops doing business throughout the mountain region needed to regularly communicate with the outside world and obtain supplies.

Thus, they became an important part of Li Muye's operation.

Among the companies supported by Huaxia were several that handled transportation.

They were also responsible for orders to deliver supplies to the various tourist attractions in the mountains.

Therefore, after this operation began, the vehicles prepared in advance were virtually identical to the vehicles that needed to smuggle people out.

After giving the heads of those tourist attractions and certain employees who needed to come into direct contact with them a "tip,"

the smuggling operation was carried out perfectly. Moreover, with the Astartes' nearly abnormal concealment abilities and the assistance of their Power Armour, they managed to evade everything flawlessly, even though every checkpoint leading down the mountain was under tight guard.

And so, all the Astartes disappeared without a trace from the surveillance satellites of the various factions.
