060, Space Necro: Bloody Hundred Days (I)

In the lounge, Zaire removed his combat armor and placed his chainsword in its proper place.

He sat cross-legged on the metal floor.

Opening the simulator interface again, Zaire noticed that there were still 48 hours left on the cooldown for the next simulation.

With a slight frown, he thought for a moment.

Then, he directly consumed resources to bypass the cooldown.

The appearance of Hydra had once again raised his sense of crisis.

Zaire decided to increase the number of simulations to gain more power or equipment.

"Emperor, protect me," Zaire muttered to himself and restarted the simulation.

[Simulation starting—]

[Current identities available: Catachan recruit, Krieg grenadier, Kasrkin sergeant, Letalis stormtrooper]

[Please choose your arrival identity]

[If you refuse, a random identity will be selected.]

[Identity selection refused]

[Simulation starting—]

[You have arrived in the Warhammer universe]

[Time: Unknown]

[Location: Galactic Rim, Orpheus]

[You arrived on the planet's surface...]

[You found yourself falling from the sky.]

[You couldn't suppress a scream of fear.]

[You landed heavily in a shallow freshwater lake.]

[The impact caused your nose and mouth to bleed, and you lost consciousness.]

[You slowly sank into the warm waters of the lake...]

[You were on the brink of death...]

[You woke from your coma, miraculously still alive.]

[You found yourself lying in the sidecar of a hoverbike, covered with a thick, brightly colored blanket.]

[You turned your neck slightly and saw a short-haired girl wearing goggles, speeding along on the hoverbike.]

[The fading light of sunset shone on her pale skin, revealing a faint fuzz on her delicate face.]

[Your gaze drifted past her thin, pink lips, and above her high nose, you saw a pair of crystal-clear, bright purple eyes.]

[For a moment, you forgot where you were, as your eyes focused solely on the girl's side profile.]

["Hey! Big guy, did you hit your head?" The short-haired girl's crisp voice reached your ears.]

[You shook your head and, after taking a deep breath, carefully expressed your gratitude for saving your life.]

[The short-haired girl, expertly controlling the hoverbike, kept her gaze fixed on the road ahead.]

[Upon hearing your thanks, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.]

["Big guy, welcome to the agri-world… wait, no, I mean welcome to your descent! Haha," she said, laughing heartily.]

[As you regained your senses, you finally noticed the endless green fields surrounding you.]

[Further away, massive machines were strolling through the fields, spraying pungent fertilizers and diluted water.]

[On the first day, heavily injured, you were brought back to the base by the short-haired girl.]

[It was a workshop for repairing agricultural machinery.]

[The short-haired girl, whose name was Zoya, lived there with her grandfather. Their family had managed the repair and oversight of the local agricultural operations for generations.]

[Once again, you expressed your gratitude to Zoya, who twirled her hair around her goggles while staring intently at you.]

[Afterward, Zoya called her grandfather over.]

[A muscular old man, with mechanical limbs, walked over to you.]

[He examined you closely for a moment, his face expressionless, before saying to Zoya, "This lad doesn't look like a rebel or a cultist…"]

["I'm just one of the Emperor's coins," you said weakly, managing to prop yourself up as you spoke to the old man.]

[The old man blinked, then burst into hearty laughter.]

["The Emperor protects you! Welcome to my home!" The old man extended his hand to you, offering a warm welcome.]

[On the second day, your injuries were completely healed.]

[You were used to such recovery, but Zoya and her grandfather were shocked.]

[You asked the two about how to leave this place.]

[Smiling, Zoya gave you bad news.]

[Due to the vastness and isolation of the agri-world, aside from the monthly harvest ships that collected crops and resupplied the garrison, there were no long-distance transportation options to get you to the city.]

[Even worse, this month's ship had just left.]

[On the third day, stuck there for the time being, you decided to join Zoya's patrol team.]

[Together, you and Zoya patrolled the giant machines working the green fields.]

[You quickly adapted to the job and earned Zoya's high praise.]

[Basking in the sunlight, you couldn't help but smile brightly.]

[On the fourth day, you and Zoya's conversations became more in-depth.]

[You inadvertently shared some of your combat experiences with her.]

[This seemed to resonate with Zoya.]

[Through her words, you learned that Zoya had an older brother.]

[He was currently serving in the city's defense forces.]

[If not for her grandfather's advanced age and the need to care for him, Zoya would have also joined the defense forces to fight for the Emperor alongside her brother.]

[You moved your lips slightly but ultimately chose to remain silent.]

[You couldn't change, nor did you want to shatter, the dreams of a young girl who had long aspired to this.]

[On the fifth day, bored, you decided to learn some agricultural knowledge from Grandpa Ved.]

[Ved began to ask probing questions about your background.]

[You selected a few battle stories that could be shared and turned them into casual conversation.]

[This seemed to ignite Ved's interest.]

[He even shared with you his long-held stash of homemade alcohol.]

[The two of you had a lively conversation.]

[Perhaps fueled by the alcohol, Ved couldn't stop stroking his mechanical limb, a nostalgic look in his eyes.]

[By the first week, you seemed to have grown fond of this rare, peaceful life.]

[Your days were filled with sunlight, breeze, and the pungent smell of fertilizer.]

[At some point, the excited Zoya was always by your side, constantly pestering you to tell more war stories.]

[Most of the time, you refused, but occasionally, you couldn't resist her relentless pleading and would share some.]

[You ended up teaching Zoya many practical combat techniques, trying to use physical exhaustion to burn off the girl's excess energy.]

[Grandpa Ved didn't stop you. In fact, he asked you to increase Zoya's training.]

[You became Zoya's mentor.]

[You seemed to have adapted to this life.]

[The distance between you and Zoya had grown increasingly ambiguous...]
