Chapter 52 Punishment
"Shoot, shoot him!"
The guards shouted and concentrated their fire on the hammer.
The heavy hammer dodged nimbly. His metal prosthesis not only did not make him slow down, but made him even more agile.
After dodging the attack, Hammer rushed to the guard, swinging his battle axe to chop every enemy in front of him.
After killing one group of guards, Chongchui rushed to another group of guards and started chopping them, repeating the cycle over and over again.
His movements were always swift and powerful, and his physical strength seemed to be inexhaustible.
Groot looked at Hammer in shock, watching him kill all the guards on the arena, then rush into another gate, kill the gatekeeper and rush into the arena building.
Grote hurried to follow.
When he entered the gate, he found that it was a prison cell.
The arena has two doors, one leading to the backstage and the other leading to the cells, where the people who are about to become gladiators are naturally imprisoned.
There are criminals, deep pit slaves, and other civilians who were brought here by unknown means. Some of these people have been injured in training.
Grote wanted to rescue them, but the hammer broke the chains on each prison door first.
Just when Grote thought that the Hammer was rescuing them, the Hammer killed the wounded who were full of reverence for him.
"What are you doing?!" Grote asked angrily.
"I am truly rescuing them. It is better for these wounded to be rescued directly than to live on." While speaking, Chongchui distributed all the weapons he could find to others.
These weapons are some torture instruments in the cell, or things like tables and chairs.
"That's enough, come back with me." Grote stretched out his hand to the hammer.
"I'm not going back. I'm going to execute everyone here. I'm going to find Maya." Hammer said as he walked towards the corridor, preparing to enter the upper floors of the building from the corridor connecting to the cells.
After that, of course, all the people found in the arena would be killed.
"Follow me!" Grote raised his hand and aimed at the hammer.
"Kill me." Hammer continued walking, "Even if you want to kill me, I will do what I have to do for the Bravery Champion!"
"Fuck you, brave champion!" Groot turned around and controlled the shoulder cannon to shoot at the statue.
The beam shot out from the shoulder cannon, piercing through the wall and all obstacles along the way, and blasting a large hole where the statue of the Valiant Champion was.
At this moment, all the blood in the arena that was flowing towards the statue stopped flowing.
Hammer didn't know that the statue had fallen out of his arms. He glanced back at Grote and continued to move forward.
Grote was almost mad with anger. In his rage, he stopped trying to stop them and turned around and left in the opposite direction.
After walking to the center of the ring, Groot called for an unmanned transport plane, jumped on it and left.
A few seconds later, Groot returned to the ring. He used his shoulder cannon to blast a circle of the arena's buildings, then called back the transport plane and jumped on it.
This time he really left and never returned to the arena.
When returning to the passage on the transport plane, Groot suddenly saw that his own ground forces outside the first area had blocked the entrances and exits of the entire area. Gray and Klein were directing and dispatching soldiers to carry out the blockade.
Soldiers wearing power armor entered the building near the entrance and exit, pulled out all the people inside, and knocked the rebels down with the butts of their rifles.
"It's bad..." Groot's anger dissipated a little at this time, and when he saw his own troops on the ground, he instantly realized that he had caused a big disaster.
...
After a whole Terra day.
David came to the position occupied by the First Army. Unlike the last time, this time he not only brought the Strong Brain Cat, but also brought a hundred guards equipped with power armor.
When David arrived at the position and found Qin Mo, he discovered that Qin Mo was squatting on the ground assembling a new device.
This device looked like a signal tower, its specific purpose was unknown, but David could see the soldiers who were bringing their families to the bottom nest walk up to the signal tower and then all disappear.
"This is a more stable transmission device, more energy-saving and more efficient." Qin Mo said boastfully.
David didn't understand the advantages of this device at all, and he didn't come here for the purpose of transmitting technology. He got straight to the point and said, "Why did your people block the first area?"
Qin Mo did block the first area.
Just the day before yesterday.
The 47th Regiment led by Klein not only blocked off District 1, but also cleared every building inside it. No one was allowed to enter or leave District 1, no matter if they were gang members or wealthy people from the upper nests of District 1.
"Groot, come here." Qin Mo did not respond immediately, but called out to someone not far away.
Then Groot walked up to Qin Mo, took off his helmet and knelt on one knee.
David was angry after seeing Groot because he heard someone report that a man named Groot was killing everyone in the Colosseum and even destroyed the Colosseum building before leaving.
"His sister was sold, and his brother is a gladiator in the arena." Qin Mo looked at David, "It's not just him. I received reports that some soldiers couldn't find their families, and some soldiers were lucky enough to find their families in the first district. It's just that they didn't go there to have fun, but were the ones who were found for fun."
Groot, kneeling on the ground, knew that Qin Mo was not looking for trouble and what he said was true.
After he came back yesterday, he thought Klein and Gray were going to arrest him. Later, he found out that some soldiers found his family in the First District, and then the 47th Regiment went to block the First District for a search.
"I'm not very clear about the situation..." said David.
"Of course you don't know, of course." Qin Mo said, "When my soldiers' families were lying on the floor of a dark and damp little room, wrapped in only a piece of rag, enduring torture while murmuring "Emperor's blessing", you were not there to watch, how could you know the situation?"
David stared at Qin Mo with dissatisfaction.
The strong-brained cat in his arms felt his master's emotions and stared at Qin Mo with narrowed eyes.
Qin Mo also looked at the Strong Brain Cat, and then he felt the coldness and cruelty in its eyes...
It seemed as if those two vertical eyes contained all kinds of conspiracies and sinister and vicious schemes.
Strong Brain Cats are creatures that establish a mental link with their owners, and their personalities will reflect their owners' personalities.
For example, the strong-brained cats raised by the Dark Eldar will be as fierce and cruel as their masters.
Qin Mo thought that David in front of him was not as kind and upright as he seemed. When he thought about what the mimic said, the nest was being corrupted...
It can be concluded that it is true that David is a believer, but the one he believes in is not necessarily the emperor but Tzeentch.
"I understand your feelings." David said, "I'm sorry, this is the fault of the upper echelons of the hive city. We are willing to take responsibility. You can do anything to the first area. I will announce to the outside world that this is a punishment for those who betrayed the Emperor."
"Thank you." Qin Mo did not expose David on the spot, but decided to find an opportunity to investigate him.
"That's what I should do." David turned and left.
Groot breathed a sigh of relief after seeing David leave. He was worried that Qin Mo would hand himself over to appease David's anger.
"Take off your Guards power armor and teleport back to the bottom nest. A teacher who can teach you how to repair logistics machinery is waiting for you." Qin Mo suddenly said.
"Captain...don't..." Grote begged quickly.
"Don't call me Captain. You are now an honorable citizen of New Cato, not my guard."
"..." Groot stopped arguing, he stood up and took off his power armor. He had no resentment in his heart, because he knew that what he had done the night before was enough to get him executed, and now it was a mercy for him to go back to the bottom nest to repair the logistics machinery.
But what Groot didn't know was that Qin Mo didn't blame him for destroying the arena, but just felt that there was a high probability that he would be corrupted if he continued to fight.
But Qin Mo didn't want to execute Groot directly, so he could only find an excuse to let the main control intelligence keep an eye on him.
In Qin Mo's imagination, Groot will survive as a civilian in the future and will only do maintenance work until he dies.
"It's my honor to serve you." Grote saluted with the Eagle Salute and turned to leave.
A soldier immediately stepped forward, grabbed Grote's shoulders and activated the protective device.
When both of them were covered by the barrier, they were teleported to the new Kato in the bottom nest.
