Chapter 104
"I think you've misunderstood something..."
Angela, however, asked the question directly.
"Why is the Foundation here? What are you planning to do here?"
The other special task force member then pulled out an autograph book, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Xiao Huasheng: "Oh my god! I've met you in person! Please sign this book!"
Looking at the special task force member who was making strange noises, Xiao Huasheng expressed concern about the quality of the Foundation's personnel.
Jin Li then began to explain.
"Your feat of single-handedly defeating Entity-682 has spread widely within the Foundation, and you have many admirers among its Foundation."
The other researchers, and even the remaining members of the task force, looked around.
Some researchers had already gotten into the swing of things and started recording everything here.
They were all tied with a rope, but it was obvious...
The rope broke after you went through the door.
Jin Li gave a bitter smile, "It looks like we can't go back."
"Why did the Foundation send you here?" Angela asked, her eyes full of confusion.
The Foundation actually sent a research team into the Warhammer World?
Shouldn't this kind of thing be done by D-level personnel?
However, looking at the team in front of him, the personnel were not composed of D-level personnel.
Jin Li responded to Angela's question directly.
"In fact, a total of five expedition teams were dispatched, specifically to explore the problems of this world. After all... a world of giants suddenly appeared on the streets, so we had to send people to investigate no matter what." Hearing this, Angela could only wish the other four expedition teams all the best.
"Whoa..." Angela then looked at the broken rope behind them, which was clearly one of the Foundation's tests.
Are the five scientific expedition teams being treated like disposable Class D personnel? The Foundation is really going all out.
However, as Jin Li said, the Foundation was the first to come into contact with a clearly heavily armed giant emerging from the portal, so naturally they were the first to investigate.
"Even if you manage to find it, how are you going to get the information back?" Angela looked at the group. They had been tinkering with modern technology, but it was clearly completely unusable.
"I am B-45," Jin Li responded, then fell silent.
It seems that there are entities within the Foundation that possess this function.
Angela stopped asking about it.
It was much more lively at Xiao Huasheng's place.
"Oh my gosh! I'm Tang Kalis, I often hear your stories at the Foundation!" This slightly lively task force member was almost driving Xiao Huasheng crazy.
Looking at her petite figure, which was even shorter than his own, Xiao Huasheng seriously suspected that this guy had gotten in through connections.
"Please give me your autograph!" Her eyes lit up, almost setting Xiao Huasheng ablaze.
"Okay, okay, here you go, sign it!" Xiao Huasheng was dizzy from being shaken by this special agent named Tang Kalis, so he quickly took the autograph book she handed him.
It was a small notebook that looked a bit worn from being read so many times, with the cover covered in various physical object-related stickers.
A simple line drawing of 682, some messy doodles, and even a blurry surveillance screenshot that Xiao Huasheng Sheng left at the Foundation were printed out and pasted in the corner.
This guy... is dangerous.
Xiao Huasheng raised an eyebrow; this really didn't seem like the style of Foundation.
"I've been collecting your information ever since you soloed 682!" Tang Kalis jumped up and down excitedly, completely ignoring the helpless looks from his colleagues around him. "You're our legend! Everyone says you're the only human who can make 682 so badly he's depressed!"
Xiao Huasheng's lips twitched. "Strictly speaking, I'm not human..."
"That's even cooler!" Tang Kalis's eyes lit up. "Angel! A living Angel! And it can Reality Warping! Oh, and by the way—"
She suddenly lowered her voice and leaned closer mysteriously, "I heard you also took care of 076? Really?"
Xiao Huasheng: "... How do you know so much?"
Angela stood to the side, rubbing her forehead.
Xiao Huasheng chuckled twice, quickly bowed his head to sign his name, and even wrote a reminder next to it.
Don't court death.
To be honest, Xiao Huasheng felt that the person in front of him was basically the first one to be sacrificed in a horror movie.
Isn't she a blonde with big breasts? Apart from being slightly petite, she fits the bill perfectly.
"Okay, here you go." She closed the notebook and handed it back.
Tang Kalis snatched the autographed book, clutching it to his chest as if it were a sacred relic, and let out a scream loud enough to shatter glass, "Aaaaaaah, I got an autograph!!!"
She turned and rushed towards her teammates, shoving the autograph book in their faces. "See that! See that! It's signed by a real person!"
A researcher wearing glasses pushed up his lenses helplessly. "Tang Kalis, we're on a mission..."
Her captain, a weathered-looking veteran of the task force, sighed and gave Xiao Huasheng an apologetic look, "She's actually... much noisier usually."
Xiao Huasheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's alright, as long as they don't die."
Jin Li sighed helplessly, "It really doesn't matter. She'll probably be facing disciplinary action from the Foundation soon."
But this person didn't care about all that.
Tang Kalis had already jumped in front of Jin Li, waving the autograph book around with a clattering sound, "Doctor! See! I told you we'd meet her! You said this plan was unreliable!"
Jin Li, who was smoking, almost choked. "I meant the whole time-travel plan is unreliable..."
The lively atmosphere here naturally attracted the attention of the Adeptus Custodes.
A large number of Adeptus Custodes rushed over and headed toward the noisy hall.
Chapter 76: What the hell is this thing? [2 updates]
The Adeptus Custodes arrived at almost breakneck speed.
Just now, their defenses were breached by a surprise attack from the Aeldari. Those damned aliens emerged like ghosts from the Webway, slaughtering dozens of their comrades with poisoned blades and Psychic Power traps.
And now, another group of strange intruders dares to step into this sacred hall?
Unforgivable.
At this moment, all the Adeptus Custodes were bloodshot.
"Those beasts are here again?!"
Now that this has happened again, it's no surprise that they're instantly enraged.
The Adeptus Custodes charged forward at a speed that seemed to tear through the air.
A deafening roar came from outside the Golden Throne —the sound of their heavy power armor pounding the ground.
They were moving so fast that the air was compressed into sharp popping sounds, and their retinas could only catch fleeting golden afterimages.
Anger.
Pure, boiling anger.
The eyes beneath the helmets of the Adeptus Custodes burned with a chilling killing intent; their weapons were already drawn, their blades leaving blinding arcs of electricity as they charged at high speed.
They vowed to crush the invaders.
The Adeptus Custodes must prove their worth once again.
They are the embodiment of the Emperor's wrath, the sharpest sword on the Golden Throne.
"Kill!"
There were no unnecessary roars, only one word, one command, one oath.
They wanted to tear these invaders to shreds.
But when they reached the Eternal Gate, the Adeptus Custodes Guards all froze in their tracks.
They met with the Foundation's staff and saw what they looked like.
"Vomit!!"
The Adeptus Custodes' charge came to an abrupt halt.
Just as they were about to rush into the Eternal Gate, an indescribable sense of Distortion swept over them.
Their power armor was trembling, not from external impact, but from internal spasms.
Their stomachs churned, their throats constricted, and a nauseating unease, more nauseating than any poison, crept up from the depths of their bones.
"Vomit--!"
The first Adeptus Custodes knelt on the ground, some liquid spurting from beneath his golden mask.
Then came the second, the third... The entire Adeptus Custodes squad felt as if they had been struck in the abdomen by an invisible hammer, and they all bent over and retched.
Their power servo systems emitted discordant hums; muscle memory still propelled their bodies forward, but physiological responses made these most perfect warriors of the Emperor stagger like drunkards.
The Foundation members stared in disbelief at the scene.
The Adeptus Custodes recovered quickly; what was more terrifying than vomiting was shame and anger.
How could these battle-hardened warriors lose their composure in front of the enemy?
The Adeptus Custodes's disgrace ignited a fury even more intense than before.
They gripped their weapons, regrouped, and continued their charge.
"For the Emperor!!"
This charge was fueled by a murderous intent to wash away their shame; they raised their weapons, determined to kill these bastards.
Then they vomited again.
This time I vomited even more violently.
"Vomit!!"
Even the mighty Adeptus Custodes vomited profusely, even if these things shouldn't exist in their rightful place.
But they still vomited.
This scene surprised everyone in the Foundation.
No one expected that the group of large, golden guards would react this way upon seeing them.
Xiao Huasheng's eyes twitched. She could understand the Adeptus Custodes; it was normal to feel like vomiting if they saw something disgusting.
Fortunately, Angela not only put her and all her employees on the Anti-Memetics Module, but also arranged for them to have Cognition Filter applied to them.
Strangely enough...
The Adeptus Custodes couldn't see what was behind the group; they only instinctively felt nauseous.
Just then, Xiao Huasheng became curious and removed his Cognition Filter, wanting to see what was really going on here.
The sight of it almost disgusted her.
"Vomit!"
Xiao Huasheng covered his mouth.
A dark mass was constantly writhing behind the Foundation's personnel.
The pus Distortion and stretched in mid-air like living things, forming long, thin tentacles that burrowed into the gaps in the armor of the Adeptus Custodes.
Some even stretched towards the location of the Emperor.
Without exception, they all seemed to have encountered some kind of barrier, unable to advance an inch.
The Adeptus Custodes kept retching, even though they wanted to raise their spears and kill these disgusting creatures.
But under that intense feeling of nausea, they couldn't even move.
Even those who are untouchable, those without souls, cannot cause the Adeptus Custodes to despise them to the point of losing their minds.
But these people from the Foundation did just that.
Even before they arrived, the Emperor fell silent.
It's hard to say for sure whether the Emperor was so disgusted by them that he fell silent.
Are you all alright?
