Chapter 2 The Awakener
“Wake up.”
“Wake up.”
“…”
The call kept echoing in Qin Xia's ears.
This was not the first time Qin Xia heard a call and woke up. He woke up the moment the battle broke out on the command deck.
His body is tightly bound by the restraint device in the cabin, so he can only fight with psychic powers, release lightning, or make the wounded grow flesh and blood.
But Qin Xia felt that his spirit, like his body, was bound by some kind of restraint device and he was unable to exert much ability.
And the gray knight holding a halberd had a ferocious expression after seeing him using his psychic powers, and shouted something at him.
The situation is too confusing.
"Wake up."
"Wake up."
Qin Xia listened to this call in the chaos and watched the demon slash through the cabin, watching himself being strangled by the throat, Then fell into coma.
Now I listen to this call and regain consciousness again.
The sound gave Qin Xia a headache. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his thoughts spread out like an impact, dispelling the sound that kept echoing in his ears and shattering the cultivation cabin that still enveloped him.
Qin Xia fell down and landed on the hot sand, hitting his head heavily on a stone.
Climbing up from the broken debris of the stone, Qin Xia touched his smooth scalp and looked at his body.
This is a powerful body that is about 2.7 meters tall, has extremely strong muscles, and contains a large number of superhuman warrior organs inside.
Astartes, Space Marines, Angels of the God-Emperor... all of these titles are used to describe the super warriors in the army of this human species.
The Astartes were implanted with gene seeds and underwent many transformation surgeries.
Gene seeds generally come from the original body, and there are many guesses about where the Gray Knights' gene seeds come from. It is difficult to determine. Anyway, the Gray Knights will be strengthened in the use of psychic powers because of this unique gene seed, and will be able to deal with the evil forces in the subspace. Corrosion resistance.
As for the height of 2.7 meters...
This is not the common average height of the Astartes group of super warriors. Qin Xia is much taller. This may be related to the body before transformation. There are many factors related to the situation and adaptability. After all, biotechnology is not a factory assembly line, and everyone in the Astartes will not be printed out like a mold.
“I am really an Astarte now.”
Qin Xia looked away from her body.
He has imagined countless times on what occasion and in what mood he would say this sentence.
But he never thought of saying this in a plain, sad, and doubtful tone.
There is no excitement or pride, only doubts and wonders.
Why wasn't I killed by that demon?
Where did the others go?
And...
What the hell is this place where there is sand everywhere?
"Calm down. When you can calm down and calm down, and the environment allows you to do that, you should do it."
The teachings he received in his childhood are in Qin Xia's mind A memory emerged in the memory. He tried to calm down his mood, gave up his doubts, and sat cross-legged on the sand to sort out his thoughts.
First of all, I can be sure that I am not dead.
Secondly, look at the training cabin behind you, and then look around you. There are no shipwrecks, and there are no ecological disasters on the planet. This means that the training cabin separated from the battleship and did not crash with the battleship.
In addition, judging from the environment of this planet, it is obviously not located in subspace, which means that it has broken away from subspace.
Compared with various doubts that cannot be answered for the time being, Qin Xia believes that the most important thing now is to figure out where he is and what time it is. Nine hundred and twenty-nine years of the forty-second millennium, the fourth solar month.
This is the time in Qin Xia’s memory when the training cabin he was in was moved onto the ship by others. He had heard of this time because when he was put into the training cabin after the transformation, You can hear others talking.
However, this does not mean that after breaking away from subspace, it will be a period of time after 929.M42. The reason is the uncertainty of subspace navigation.
Subspace is a place that humans must pass through when traveling at faster than light speeds. This place is very dangerous and weird.
It is a different space outside the real universe. It is composed of pure spirit or emotion or something related to the soul. This means that nothing in the subspace is stable, and time in the real universe does not exist at all. in subspace.
After a subspace voyage, there may be a situation like this: after leaving the subspace and arriving at the end of the journey, you find that the time is before the journey begins, even before you are born, or it may be dozens of years ago. A hundred years from now...no one can say for sure.
“I have to figure out where I am and when, and then let the governor of this world arrange a ship to take me away.”
Qin Xia muttered to herself, patted her face, and stood up from the ground, already knowing what she should do now.
Those questions that are not urgently answered, those about other things beyond leaving this world, should all be temporarily put aside and left to be answered later.
After briefly identifying the direction, Qin Xia embarked on a journey out of this desert.
The scorching sun is high.
There is only endless sand in the desert.
If an ordinary person is in trouble, there is a high probability that this ordinary person will not survive.
But for Qin Xia, who had already undergone transformation, walking on the sand and trekking under the scorching sun without even wearing a robe was not a difficult task.
It is not difficult to walk out of the desert with this body, not to mention that this body can run non-stop at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour, and can run faster if necessary.
After walking leisurely for a while, Qin Xia suddenly stopped.
He felt a gaze.
In Qin Xia's own consciousness, his vision moved rapidly towards the south, taking a bird's-eye view of an area several kilometers away.
There is a convoy running on the sand in that area. In three minutes, they will enter the distance where their observation equipment can detect Qin Xia. Then the convoy will stop and look like A leader-like person would get out of the car with a tranquilizer gun and use a sniper scope to observe Qin Xia, who could no longer stand out in the flat desert.
This is why there is that look, but that look does not appear now, but will appear three minutes later.
When Qin Xia wanted to perceive more, he uncontrollably escaped from that strange perspective.
This kind of psychic ability is a prophecy, but it is not far-reaching compared to the psychic prophecies of other psychics that Qin Xia knows, but it is detailed and clear enough.
The only drawback is that it is short-lived, and there is currently no way to control its appearance and disappearance.
"I didn't see the common symbols of the empire on the vehicles and personnel accessories..." Qin Xia frowned and thought, beginning to wonder whether this world belonged to the human empire.
At this time, the vehicle was getting closer and closer with the dust. There was no time to think carefully. Qin Xia immediately ran to the back of the sand pile next to him and lay down on the hot sand to wait quietly.
The convoy was as close as the prophecy picture.
Qin Xia thought they would get closer and closer, but in fact the convoy stopped quickly, and nearly a hundred people in the entire convoy immediately got out of the car with weapons in hand.
A tiny sphere floated up from among the people and hung in the air.
They have obviously discovered someone lying on the path they must pass through, through the thermal imaging of the sphere, through advanced equipment that can scan living creatures, or something else.
These people are not backward in technology, and their tactical literacy is also good.
After the leader of the team made a few gestures, ten people rushed to the front to line up. These ten people patted their arms, and a shield immediately extended from their arms.
Everyone in the convoy was alert and approaching slowly with weapons in hand.
Qin Xia glanced at the sphere flying towards him in the sky and stopped hiding it.
