Chapter 482 Safety
The Helveticon family cooperated with the Necrons to protect themselves from bugs.
This reason is quite sufficient.
But it's very boring.
Because in the setting, although the Tyranids have some posture of the ultimate boss, at present, only "tiny tentacles" have entered the interior of the galaxy, and the so-called "main fleet" which claims to have a total mass larger than the galaxy is always on the road.
However, even these "tiny tentacles" have caused the empire great trouble.
And if the main force of the Zerg Fleet really arrives, then any current faction, whether it is human or Eldar, will never be able to compete with the main force of the Zerg Fleet alone. It is bound to cause earth-shaking changes in the existing pattern in the galaxy, and it is not impossible to directly destroy the entire galaxy.
This also means that the Tyranid Zerg's "main fleet" can only be "on the way" forever.
Therefore, there is a saying circulating in the original world that the final ending of the Warhammer world may be that everyone fights bugs together.
It feels like the author discovered at the end that the existing characters were full of intense internal conflicts but didn't know how to continue, so he had to force an ending by inflicting external conflicts.
Howard narrowed his eyes. This answer seemed very perfunctory to him. His intuition told him that this answer might be one of the reasons but it was definitely not the main reason.
But Leah Weide only gave this answer, which meant that she wanted to hide something, or simply did not trust Howard.
Howard knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get any more answers from this woman today, so he stopped dwelling on it and changed the subject:
"So, what do you want me to do?"
Although the flesh and blood tissue on Liavide's face were completely replaced by mechanical parts, unlike the rough transformation style commonly seen in the Empire, the transformation Liavide underwent was extremely precise and meticulous.
After asking this question, Howard clearly saw the "eyebrows" on Lia Weide's face rise slightly.
"We invited you here to solve a problem that we can't resolve ourselves," Lia Weide replied calmly, "Therefore, I have no intention of influencing your decision."
Howard: "So you're not worried at all that I think the other side's argument is more reasonable and then stand against you?"
Lia Weide: "I have no concerns about this, absolutely not."
Then she said something incomprehensible:
“Maybe I’m looking forward to it more.”
So Howard no longer had any other questions. After a little hesitation, he took out a folded letter and passed it through the servitor to Leah Weide across from him.
This was the list Cecil had given him, dictated by him on the other end of the line, and written down by Howard.
Written on it are the names of more than ten people, as well as their numbers in the seed bank. These two pieces of information are enough to accurately lock the location without any errors.
Howard had never seen these people before. Maybe he had passed by one or two of them when he was walking around the seed bank in the past few days, but they did not leave any impression on Howard, and Howard could not match these names with the faces he passed by.
But now Howard can decide the life and death of these people he has never met, which is why he hesitates.
But in that moment of hesitation, he realized that he could not help but hand in the list, so hesitation was meaningless, except to soothe his heart which was filled with who knows how much hypocrisy.
"That's what you asked me to look into," Howard said. "Most of it is in there."
The reason why it was most of them was because it was obvious that Cecil would not hand over his own secret agents, and Howard did not intend to hide this from Lia Weide.
Just as Howard expected, Leah Weide didn't care about the remaining "small part". She put the letter away without even looking at it.
Howard: "What are you going to do with these people?"
Lia Weide: "Clean it up."
Lia Weide: "Eliminating these factors has no impact on the success or failure of the experiment, but it can show some attitude to the outside world. If we don't do this, more and more sand will seep in. If everything gets out of control, the number of casualties will probably be far greater than this."
Howard: "I understand."
Lia Weide said, "We will do our best to ensure your safety. The incident just now was also very difficult for us. If it happened again, the result might not be the same. Please be careful."
Howard nodded.
"As for Miss Hevian," Lia Weide continued, "Although she has survived for a long time as a mechanical immortal, her mindset is still stuck at the stage of a little girl. You should be able to handle her well."
Although this sounded a little strange, it was also true, so Howard did not refute it.
Lia Weide: "Then, let's stop here."
three hours later
Seed Bank
"Huh—finally it's out!"
The first thing Constance did after being released and walking out of the confinement room was to stretch her body and take a deep breath of the hot and dusty air at the bottom of the spacecraft.
But the air was much hotter than the one in the solitary confinement room. Even after Howard's instructions, ice cubes and other things were brought into the confinement room, but it didn't lower the temperature much. Instead, it made the air even more humid. The humid and hot air, coupled with the cramped space, eventually made the smell in the confinement room quite... prosperous...
After replacing the air in her lungs, Constance grabbed her clothes and sniffed here and there, then closed her eyes and grinned. It was obvious that she couldn't stand the smell on her body, but she had been immersed in the air in the confinement room for the past few days and her sense of smell was tired and she didn't feel it.
"All I want now is to soak myself in clean water, eat something, especially meat, and then fall asleep on the mattress."
"These are all ready in your bedroom," said Christina.
"Thank you so much, little sister!" Constance reached out to give Christina a hug. Although Christina did not move her feet, her body instinctively leaned back slightly. When Constance noticed her movements, she immediately stopped.
"Ha...ha...indeed...it's best if I don't touch you right now."
"No! You misunderstood!" Christina hurriedly explained, "I don't mean to dislike you. I'm just scared by your enthusiasm..."
Then she took the initiative to walk towards Constance and wanted to give her a hug.
But this time it was Constance's turn to jump back and avoid it.
"You think about me, so I think about you too." Looking at Christina's puzzled and surprised eyes, Constance said, "Come back after I'm clean and smell good. Remember, you owe me a hug."
Then, without giving Christina a chance to agree or refuse, Constance looked at Howard again and asked, "How long was I in the detention room?"
Howard: "Less than ninety-six hours."
"So short?" Constance frowned. "I thought it lasted at least half a month."
Howard: "I'm sorry about that. I was the one who sent you there."
"Don't talk about these things, what's the result?"
Howard: "There were some twists and turns, but we achieved our goal and you are safe."
