Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

A few days later.

Comoros.

The Thunder Warriors still live in broken shacks as before, but they are not lying on the ground in a mess like before, waiting for Bendis, who has returned from the arena to win, to bring back the potion, or if he fails to come back, everyone will They died of old age together in their sleep.

Led by the crippled old officer, all the Thunder Warriors except Bendis gathered together. On the rotten ground in front of them was a road map.

The road map shows part of the dark city of Comoros.

It's obscure, twisted, abstract.

Human senses are often unable to analyze the overall or partial appearance of the cities of Comoros, but the Thunder Warriors do not need to perceive and analyze, they only need to follow the road map as presented.

"I feel like we're back to where we were hundreds of years ago."

"I want to give the alien a little color."

The old officer lay on the ground excitedly, staring at the road map with bloodshot eyes. He was memorizing the route shown on the road map, as well as the sentries and enemies that he might or would definitely encounter on the route.

Then he sadly found that he couldn't remember.

And after staring blankly at the road map for two minutes, he asked the person next to him, pointing at the road map: "What is this?"

The man who was questioned by the old chief had all his teeth lost, but at least he was still relatively sober. He responded in a low voice: "You will know when Bendis comes back."

The Thunder Warriors just gathered around to look at the road map.

Just like in the ancient times of Terra, those old men sat at the entrance of the village and stared at one thing for the whole day.

At the end of another round of fighting in the arena, Bendis returned.

This time, what Bendis was holding was not the potion given by the Haemonculus, but a box that was square and black enough to absorb light. It was cold in Bendis' hand.

"Same as before, guys, I ran into that guy again in the arena."

The things in Bendis' hands and the road map in front of him were all obtained from one person.

That man was the Archon of a cabal.

After finishing communicating with Li Sun the day before yesterday, when Bendis was about to participate in another gladiatorial fight to get some more potions to prepare for his glorious death, he was suddenly taken away by a consul named Arrow in the gladiatorial arena.

In the private meeting place, Arrow handed something to Bendis.

That's the road map.

During the meeting, Arrow also told Bendis one thing, that is, she had made a deal with humans, and she would help Bendis open the portal.

And when Bendis asked Arrow what she would get in return for the deal she agreed to, the Cabal Archon smiled and remained silent.

When he went to the arena again today, Bendis was taken away by Arrow again. Arrow handed him a black box and made an agreement with him to meet at noon tomorrow and open the portal together.

And when Bendis tried to discuss the matter with the guys, all he got was a blank look from the old officer.

"That person? Which person?"

"You're sick again...forget it."

Bendis stood up helplessly, walked to the old officer and opened the black box.

There are six potions inside.

These potions shine with a strange metallic sheen and a flickering green light. They look more like a tube of mercury than any medicine that is beneficial to living things.

Bendis took out a needle of medicine and inserted it into the old officer's neck.

The Thunder Warrior's extremely strong body was twitching and recovering.

Wounds in the spine that could never heal on their own were filled, and dead nerves were removed and replaced with artificial machinery so tiny that it was invisible to the naked eye.

When the biological signals were transmitted between the spine and limbs again, Bendis saw his old commander standing up in surprise.

Just repairing the wound is nothing, the potion seems to contain extremely special power of life, which can reverse the process of a life.

The loose wrinkles of the skin are tightening, and the eyes that are nearsighted due to aging are recovering.

The Thunder Warriors witnessed the power of the potion - transforming their leader from an old man with intermittent amnesia back to the stage when he first became a Thunder Warrior.

Then under Bendis' gaze, the old officer touched his head and remembered many things.

"Have you remembered what your name was?" Bendis asked tentatively.

"Gaunt." The old officer said the name without any hesitation.

Bendis nodded and dispersed all the remaining potions.

All Thunder Warriors injected the potion into their bodies, and then they were reborn.

"I'm ready to crawl to open the portal." Gunter knelt down on one knee, picked up the road map and looked at it carefully.

In an instant, his brain memorized what the entire road map looked like and all the information contained on it.

Others just glance at the process and remember everything.

A second later, Gunter clenched the road map into his mouth and ate it. The thunder warrior's stomach would digest the paper made of special materials into body nutrients.

"People outside helped us lay out the whole plan so that we could do what we do best - kill."

"Ready your weapons now."

"If you don't have a weapon, just find a stone. Anyway, we will have weapons available after we kill a few enemies."

After hearing Gunter's words, everyone except Bendis, who had a spear, went to find a few big rocks.

Including Bendis, they had no armor.

But Ari had no way to transport the armor into Comoros. She had already done all the tricks just by bringing the potion, the road map and meeting with Bendis, because although her betrayal of other conspiracies has not yet been exposed, there are still people Focusing on her investigation of several conspirators who died at the hands of Tyrone's navy.

"The alien named Arrow." Bendis mentioned what she had talked about with Arrow before. "She proposed to meet at noon tomorrow, our human noon, at that time, and then she would arrange some ruthless characters to follow us. Act together.”

Gunter's mind recovered due to his rebirth, and he figured out the whole story in a few seconds.

"The consul named Arrow must have her own plans, but she is indeed credible, at least to Li Sun."

"Because when we were still on the ship, I discovered that Li Sun was secretly trading with the alien, and the two of them also robbed the plundering ship together."

"Remember the story of Viktor? No matter what she told others, she definitely wanted to imitate Viktor and seize power in another catastrophe on Commorragh."

After some analysis, Gunter said calmly: "People outside will not sit back and watch a new overlord emerge in Comoros, so... hanging out with him may cause us all to eat all the spears together."

Bendis thought about it and finally decided not to.

Relying on Gunter to make decisions on everything was a habit he had had since he became the Thunder Warrior, before Gunter became crazy and crazy because of his disabled legs.

"We'll take action at night." Gunter said, clenching the stone in his hand.
