Chapter 340: Long Live Hydra - Omegan: Today, We Are All Alpharius! (II)
[You supported the middle-aged man with weak legs and feet with an expressionless face, and slowly walked to the end of the cabin corridor.]
[You just learned the other party's name indirectly, Walder.]
[He is the captain of this Conqueror-class armed cargo ship, a third-rate merchant ronin who barely makes a living.]
[You are the only survivor he successfully rescued from a pirate ship that accidentally ran aground not long ago.]
[According to the other party's nonsense, you seemed to have been attacked by some kind of terrifying alien creature before, and all the human pirates on the ship were torn into pieces of flesh and blood, almost all over the interior of the ship.]
[Wald, who originally planned to be a void scavenger, met you who were in a daze. ]
[He came to you just now just to let you, who was gradually regaining your sanity, deal with those ordinary sailors who were trying to start a riot in the lower cabin.]
[You thought about it for a moment, then immediately agreed to the other party's request. ]
[You also asked for a better living environment and diet. ]
[The treacherous wandering trader Walder agreed to all your conditions without hesitation. ]
[You stared at the other person deeply. ]
[You smiled faintly, turned around and walked towards the bottom cabin. ]
[Soon after, you successfully arrived at the lower cabin, where both the living environment and air quality were even worse.]
[As you stepped into the lower cabin, thin human sailors who looked like transformed servitors gathered around you.]
["Hey! Did that old miser Walder ask you to come?" At this moment, an ordinary sailor holding a simple stick weapon revealed his bare chest that was as bony and skinny as ribs. He looked up at you and asked in a sarcastic tone.]
["If you are willing to return to your posts, I can pretend that I have never been here." You glanced at the sailors and crew members in front of you who were not afraid of you, and said in a calm tone.]
["Ahaha! Don't think we're afraid of you just because you're tall! We're going to start a riot and resist Walder's disgusting authority!" Another sailor who was so thin that only his big head was noticeable shouted at you, his red eyes almost popping out of his eye sockets.]
["That old miser Walder actually made us human crew members do the work that only servitors can do! And he doesn't even let us have enough food every day! Most importantly, there are alien monsters in the lower cabin that specialize in sucking human blood! If we continue to stay here, we won't be able to survive!"]
[At this moment, the sailor holding the simple stick suddenly raised the only weapon in his palm and roared at you with anger.]
["Either you kill us now! Or, don't fucking get in the way!" Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on you. ]
["I think I understand, and I also understand part of the situation…" You nodded the bronze bald head expressionlessly.]
[You immediately turn around and walk towards the upper part of the lower cabin.]
[Because you left too quickly. ]
[The tall figure that came and went mysteriously like the wind also made the sailors who were planning to start a riot fall into an extremely confused state. ]
[Not a single one of them was willing to take the initiative to step out of the lower cabin.]
[A few minutes later, you stepped back into the lower cabin with Walder's bleeding head in one hand.]
["From today on, I am the captain of this armed cargo ship... Does anyone have any objections?"]
[You casually threw Wald's terrified head at the feet of the crowd. The head rolled around for a long time before slowly stopping.]
["I personally think that a ship sailing can be without a captain, but it cannot be without a large number of sailors!"]
["From now on, there will be no more exploitation, everyone will do their job, food will no longer be limited, but no waste will be allowed…" You narrowed your eyes and continued.]
[At this moment, the sailors who were planning to start a riot gradually walked up to you hesitantly and bowed to you.]
["Hello, Captain——" Everyone shouted to you weakly. ]
[You narrowed your eyes and took a deep breath.]
[You pulled out the two strangely shaped short spears from your waist again.]
[The next second, the sailors who had just surrounded you immediately scattered around like frightened beasts.]
["Why are you running? Didn't you say there were alien monsters that sucked human blood in the lower cabin? Where was the last place they were found?" You looked at the startled crowd expressionlessly, your bronze bald head seemed to reflect slightly in the dim light.]
["Captain! Please come this way!" The thin sailors looked at each other and immediately came to you in a panic. The flattering smiles on everyone's faces seemed to be unable to be suppressed any longer.]
[In the first week, you successfully took over this Conqueror-class armed freighter.]
[You unexpectedly discovered that the wandering trader Wafud did not have any confidants or helpers on the ship.]
[Even the only old navigator laughed heartily at the other party's tragic death. ]
[This is also why Walder asked a strong stranger he met by chance to help quell the riot of the crew and sailors. ]
[In the following period of time, you led a group of sailors who had eaten and drunk enough and whose mental states had completely changed, and tried their best to clean up every dark corner on the armed cargo ship.]
[Your spoils and gains include, but are not limited to, hundreds of dark shadows that almost became a blood-sucking family. ]
[The Sanofia Borer uses a dozen corpses as its incubation nests. Even if it is discovered a little later, a crisis of insect tide will break out. ]
[There was even a large egg mass of Zos Blood Locust mixed in with the transported goods.]
[It was also fortunate that the former captain Wald was too stingy and did not choose to replace the insulation layer of the cargo cabin after it failed. ]
[The cold temperature indirectly suppressed the growth rate of the Zos blood locusts. Otherwise, none of the sailors on the entire armed cargo ship would have been able to leave alive.]
[Of course, your gains are not just the elimination of these deadly threats. ]
[Among the many arms shipments that Wald was carrying this time, there was actually a set of Mark II Expeditionary Power Armor covered in battle damage, but the Legion paint on it had been completely polished off.]
[This Astartes-specific equipment that ordinary people cannot get access to has somehow fallen into the hands of a third-rate merchant wanderer.]
[Unfortunately, Walder has been separated by you, otherwise you would like to ask the other party about the specific origin of this power armor. ]
[However, you do not have the plastic steel interface for connecting to the power armor. ]
[This Mark II Expeditionary Armor is not a force feedback mortal power armor. ]
[You are not willing to accept this.]
[You don't feel safe with your flesh and blood body without the protection of power armor. ]
[With the help of some trusted sailors, you forced yourself to wear this expeditionary power armor.]
[You unexpectedly discover that your strength and physical fitness can fully withstand the consumption of this extra weight. ]
[You were overjoyed at first, and then gradually fell into a state of contemplation.]
["Who… could I be?" You thought silently. ]
Thank you for your support!
