Vals and the accompanying Tech-Sergeants had never seen these electronic devices before, yet they grasped their general purpose and some functions within minutes.

Unfortunately, being from the 40k era, they had no interface devices to transmit information with the electronic equipment of this world.

This was a bit awkward!

The few of them exchanged glances. After searching their entire bodies for any connecting devices and finding none compatible, they could only give up.

"Mr... Sir!" Li Muye initially wanted to say "Chapter Master Quan," but he remembered Quan Tiehua's earlier mention of "acting person in charge." Without understanding the circumstances and culture of their Chapter, he could only change it to "Sir."

"From now on, we will escort you to the target location. Additionally, in some areas we pass through, we will have reception personnel and set up jamming equipment, just like those who stayed behind earlier!"

It was necessary to leave behind jamming equipment; the network information in this world was too complex and powerful. Therefore, they could only jam it for a short while!

Quan Tiehua knew the situation of this world, but his brothers beside him were not clear about it. They learned silently along the way and had already made initial progress in the Huaxia language. Combined with the memories from the minds of those little idiots, They had already roughly guessed most of the information. Especially upon learning that there were over 200 countries and factions on such a small, broken planet, they, as Astartes, felt shocked.

To think that such a small, broken planet could have so many countries and factions, and that they had developed so "orderly."

It was simply unbelievable. It was probably something that had never happened in the entire galaxy before the Emperor's Great Crusade.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM--

Just then, a massive explosion suddenly erupted from the place they had just been.

Everyone's footsteps didn't stop, but they all turned their heads in unison.

They saw a huge mushroom cloud rising into the sky, and a visible shockwave, like a destructive force, uprooted the surrounding trees and pushed them towards them.

Everyone instinctively began to look for cover to avoid the shockwave.

However, the Astartes didn't make any excessive movements. Quan Tiehua merely gave a signal, and all the Astartes directly shielded Li Muye and his group.

The next second, the shockwave swept directly over the Astartes' Power Armour. Tree fragments and debris, like stone shards, clanged against their Plasteel armor.

After most of the damage was blocked from Li Muye and the others, they could clearly see these ironclad giants standing tall and unmoving in front of them.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. They knew that as ordinary humans, even those trained to be the few "King Soldiers" in the entire army, they would have to take cover when facing such a shockwave.

But they never expected these ironclad figures to be fearless of the shockwave! They stood unmoving, comparable to thick city walls.

The shockwave ended quickly, but everyone's hearts began to race.

It was clear that the enemy reacted quickly. They would likely be surrounded and attacked by countless troops from all directions soon, so they had to speed up.

The personnel who had previously set up the jamming equipment saw this scene and began to notify everyone to re-check and shut down all electronic devices, disconnecting from the network.

Meanwhile, Vals and the Tech-Sergeants within the Crimson Angel Chapter looked with fiery eyes at the exploding mushroom cloud.

Although their overall capabilities were weak compared to the missiles of the Imperium, Vals and the others, after comparing them with the memories from the little idiots' minds, found the cost-effectiveness to be excellent.

If they could obtain this technology and improve it upon their return, they could probably mass-produce it in any industrial world.

It might not be very useful in space combat, but in ground warfare... the cost-effectiveness was absolutely sky-high.

Even combining it with existing Warhammer 40k technology, moving the manufacturing and production lines behind the battlefield, it wouldn't be impossible for them to fire one shot for every one they produced.

The speed of manufacturing and launching would leave Chaos no time to corrupt them before they were blown to smithereens.

Wasn't this cost-effectiveness superb!

Quan Tiehua, seeing their subtle movements, clearly understood their little thoughts.

But it didn't matter. After confirming the effects that the system panel in his mind could bring, ambition arose in his heart.

Especially having come to this world. Although its technology couldn't compare to the Imperium, the application of its techniques, theories, and mechanical knowledge was far more advanced than that of the Emperor's Mechanicus.

If he could take these things back and then drag a few mechanics to the Chapter, organize these things with the technology possessed by the Mechanicus, and then integrate them.

It would surely be a huge improvement for the Chapter.

However, there was still one problem: he didn't know how time was divided between this world they were brought to by the system and the Warhammer 40k world.

"Sir! We've arrived!" Li Muye's voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked up and saw the agents, carrying their guns, walking into a dense forest and grass area, lifting a piece of fabric used for concealment.

Dozens of modified vehicles were parked there.

"Sir, you and your comrades can get into these vehicles. These vehicles have been modified by our technicians and can effectively block all kinds of detection!" Li Muye said, gesturing for his subordinates to bring out the vehicles.

Although their current location was still in the mountains, it was not far from the city.

At the same time, they had arranged for some state-supported companies to act as a cover in various visible capacities.

As all personnel finished their preparations, the vehicles slowly started and drove towards the nearest highway entrance without surveillance equipment.

Upon reaching the highway entrance, dozens of different vehicles abruptly turned around at the entrance and drove off in various directions.

Some went to hot spring hotels, while others went to various tourist spots.

These businesses operating within the mountain area needed to communicate with the outside world and obtain supplies regularly.

Therefore, this became a crucial part of Li Muye's operation this time.

Among the companies supported by Huaxia, some were in the transportation business.

They also had orders responsible for delivering supplies to various tourist attractions in the mountains.

Therefore, after this operation began, the pre-prepared vehicles and these vehicles used for smuggling were basically identical.

After giving "tips" to the managers of these tourist attractions and some employees who needed direct contact, The smuggling operation was executed perfectly. Coupled with the Astartes' nearly monstrous hidden strength and the assistance of their Power Armour, even though the mountain checkpoints were heavily guarded, they still managed to evade them perfectly.

Thus, all the Astartes disappeared without a trace under the surveillance satellites of the major powers.
