Chapter 634: The Hive Gang
Ever since he was sent to the Hades Hive, Yarrick's life has been very difficult.
The changes in the war situation in the distance are worrying, and the situation in the hive city is even more desperate.
The garrison here is more suitable to be called security than an army. Most of the time they are either gambling in the military camp or killing time with other things. Some of them even bring servitors with them. Go hunting in the wild.
In order to rectify discipline, Yarick had to use very violent methods——
Eleven kills!
Relying on the support of the local Mechanicus, he publicly executed almost one-tenth of the garrison with strong methods, and then asked others to draw lots in squad units. Those who were drawn would be bayoneted by others. To kill, each must be stabbed once.
What's worse is that those dead will eventually become material for the Mechanicum's war servitors.
With almost brutal measures, he quickly suppressed the casual atmosphere in the camp.
But this was not enough, because his methods were too cruel, which caused the atmosphere between the officers and soldiers in the military camp to be very tense, and there were even several mutinies.
In order to let the soldiers truly understand the cruelty of the upcoming battle, Yarick specially found a few defeated soldiers who had escaped from the battlefield and let everyone see what they looked like - the tragedy of those people deeply shocked the soldiers They, especially after learning that they would be killed if they escaped.
Afterwards, Yarick announced that all material restrictions would be lifted, and the daily rations of all soldiers would be doubled, while the supply of tobacco and alcohol would also be doubled, and death compensation would be tripled.
Under this strategy of using a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, the morale and discipline of the guards in Hades's nest have been greatly improved.
But this is still not enough. The guards of Hades's nest are only 300,000 at full strength. It is obviously not enough to defend such a huge nest. Yarrick must find new strength.
It just so happened that he met a friend in this place——
"I've been dreaming recently."
A one-eyed man with dark skin and tattoos all over his arms was leaning on a beach chair. Next to him was Yaric, who was in casual clothes. They were sitting on a balcony with an awning. superior.
Above their heads, the hive's unique artificial sun was burning brightly.
“I dreamed that a bunch of green monsters without buttholes made a mess in my home.”
As he spoke, the one-eyed man pinched a ball from the golden box hanging around his neck. White powder, then put it under his nose and inhaled, while Yarick held a clay pot and poured wine into the cup.
"Oh? I thought you were not afraid of anything?"
"I didn't say I was afraid, that was your own idea."
"What happens next?"
Yarrick asked, leaning on the lounge chair and sipping his wine.
“Those dirty and ugly farts started doing a striptease on my table, and I fucked them hard one by one.”
After saying that, the one-eyed man laughed.
Yarrick looked at him for a while, then suddenly changed into a serious expression.
"Meck, I need your help." The man called Meike did not reply, but took out some more powder from the box and sucked it hard twice.
After his body trembled slightly for a few times, the man shrugged.
"You know, you are a political commissar wearing a glorious uniform, and we are all marginalized people. The glory of the God Emperor has never shone even for a moment on scum like us. We are spurned and forgotten, and can only live in a dark nest. Living at the bottom of the city.”
Meike, also known as One-Eyed Meike, is the leader of the Bloodhook Gang, one of the five major gangs in Hades’ Hive.
Violent gangs are not a specialty of the lower-level hive cities, but they are almost all rooted in the lower-level hive cities, because only such a harsh environment can give birth to these bloodthirsty people who despise life and death.
The lower hive is the last refuge and burial ground for the desperate people in the hive. It is also the place of exile for countless fringe characters. This area no longer belongs to the empire or any planet in name or fact. Under the jurisdiction of functional departments, only the Legal Department and the Inquisition will enter this area fully armed in order to investigate cases, resist the infiltration of gene stealers, or capture wild psykers.
Due to being separated from the control of the empire, the area has almost no official infrastructure support. All oxygen, fuel, pure water, food and various supplies needed to survive in a giant artificial city like the hive city are Unavailable from official sources.
Compared to the sub-nest where the electricity bill is high but at least there is water (circulated water or chemically purified water) and electricity, everything here is maintained by various unofficial forces, and these forces are called gangs.
In the Hades Hive, there are many reasons for a person to join a gang, such as debt, desire, or simply survival.
But no matter what the reason, in the end they have to fight each other for limited resources to survive. All kinds of domestic garbage in the upper hive city will pass through pipes, slide rails or simply the outline of old ruins. Flying down from high places, these endless "garbage flows" are like long black rivers sloping to the lowest level of the hive city. Residents along the way will set up various collection tools like fishing nets to filter out valuable things, including Metals, synthetic polymer materials, leftovers, electronic waste.
It is not easy to obtain these resources, and it is even more difficult to protect these resources. Many gangs are formed just to protect a section of the "river".
But there are also some people with great foresight. They are not limited to making a living by collecting garbage. They look further and realize that there are more profitable jobs in the low-level hives without law. .
For example, smuggling contraband, including alien creations, illegal drugs, illegally modified servitors, etc. -
The main business of the Blood Hook Gang is to smuggle illegal drugs, so they often appear in middle-level or even upper-level hives.
Yaike also got to know this person by chance. Although he usually didn't like this drug leader, now he also needs this person's connections - Meck's business is related to almost all large-scale The gangs are all connected.
“What’s happening now has nothing to do with identity or status.”
Yarrick put down his wine glass.
"Those are aliens. There is only one voice in their heads, kill, kill everything that is not green-skinned, no one will be spared."
"Maybe we can try painting the skin green?"
Meck shrugged, then smiled:
“Of course, I’m joking.”
“Meck, time is very tight, I can provide you with weapons. , I only need you to provide the fiercest warrior. I don’t care what his previous identity is, whether he is a murderer or a heretic. As long as he can fight against the greenskins, I promise to let bygones be bygones."
According to Yarick's estimation, at least three million troops are needed to complete the defense deployment of the entire hive city, and these three million troops cannot be the kind of soldiers who are temporarily pulled onto the battlefield and tremble after firing two shots. They must be The kind of soldier who has seen blood and is ruthless.
Originally, according to his character, even if he worked hard and spent time training ordinary citizens, he would not want the scum at the bottom of the hive city, but now time is indeed too tight - according to the reports from the reconnaissance team, the green-skinned vanguard force It is already approaching a hundred kilometers away from the hive capital.
With no other choice, he could only seek help from the nest gangs, hoping that these people would understand the truth that eggs cannot be left intact even when the nest is overturned.
