Although the civilians were tired, their morale was not very low. On the contrary, they became more energetic after taking a breath.
Anyone who sees the arrival of the Emperor's angels will feel reassured.
Foros noticed a girl squatting in the corner holding her sister, trembling all over and turning pale, so he walked to the girl, pulled out a dagger and handed it to him: "You need a weapon, use it to protect your family."
"Thank...Thank you, sir..." The girl took the dagger. Although she knew that she could not fight with this dagger, which was extremely heavy for a mortal, the feeling of holding the weapon still made her feel at ease.

Chapter 142 If I could come earlier
"You're welcome." Foros knelt down and looked at the girl, "What's your name?"
"Tessa." The girl answered.
Foros nodded: "Okay Tessa, we will try our best to keep those terrible monsters away, but you must be able to take care of yourself and your sister, and don't fall behind."
"I know." Tessa nodded vigorously, a smile appearing on her little face that had regained some color.
After a short rest, everyone still had to move on.
The front and rear doors of the corridor have been blocked, but there is a secret door on the wall. Foros opened the secret door with ease and led everyone to continue traveling in another corridor.
The entire underground city is like a maze. If you walk a few steps, you will encounter a fork in the road. There is no sign on the fork in the road, but Foros can always lead everyone to find the right path. He even not only rushes, but also searches for it. All rooms that may contain survivors.
In addition to having Foros as a guide, another good thing is that there are no plague zombies coming to attack. They may be isolated in the corridor.
"Foros Chapter Commander, you seem to be familiar with this place?" the guard walked up to Foros and asked.
"I lived in a similar city when I was a child." Foros looked around. "This kind of underground city is like a very large dormitory built underground. I suspect that similar cities were large military camp facilities a long time ago."
After hearing this, the imperial guard looked around and felt that it was really like what Foros said.
Although the surrounding environment has been corroded by time, and the walls in the corridor are covered with patches, it can indeed be seen that this is a structure like a military camp.
"There is an underground factory in the hive world of the Tyrone galaxy. It seems to be a factory for building giant war machines."
"And this is like a military camp..."
The guard frowned and thought, feeling that the two places were related.
Soon the howls from the plague zombies interrupted the guards' contemplation, and more and more zombies poured out from all directions like a tide.
Although protected by eleven Emperor's Angels and one Praetorian Guard, the civilians present were still trembling with fear. The girl named Tessa clenched the dagger in fear, but the Astartes used The dagger was too heavy and she couldn't maintain the raised position, but the dagger did give her a sense of security.
"Keep going, I'm holding on here!" the guard shouted to everyone, rushing in the opposite direction to the marching route and the direction with the most zombies.
Foros wanted to stop them, but out of desperation he could only escort the civilians forward first. He and his men opened fire on the zombies in front to clear the way, and took the time to look back at the guards.
The guards have been overwhelmed by the tide of zombies, and there are even zombies crawling under the floor and in the ventilation ducts. However, these zombies cannot rush to the guards because they are crushed instantly after entering the scope of the gravity shield.
On a normal battlefield, the enemy would not besiege the guards, but the walking zombies had no fear.
"Come here all!" The guard raised his hands and shot the walking zombies in pieces. His shoulder cannon quickly turned and fired a guard beam to evaporate the mucus sprayed by some walking zombies.
Finally, the guards broke open the wall, attracting the zombies to move towards another route.
Foros turned his head and continued to focus on the battle, leading his men to fight a bloody path forward and continue to move forward, while also searching nearby rooms as before.
……
The entire rescue operation lasted four days and nights.
The legs, feet and physical strength of the civilians were not comparable to those of the Astartes, so Foros led his men to clear a safe area and asked all his men to stay behind. He continued to advance and search in the underground city, but he never encountered anyone else. Many civilians.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning on the fifth day that Foros, who still found nothing, saw the person he wanted to see most now - the guard who had restrained a large number of walking corpses for everyone.
The guard came from the opposite corridor. There was no blood on his body, but the shotgun laser weapons in his hands were somewhat deformed due to constant firing.
"There are no more living people here." The guard walked past Foros and turned off the gravity shield at the same time.
"I think we should..."
"I have battle videos of me searching every area of the city these days. Please check whether what I said is true."
The guard played the battle videos of these days and took off his visor and handed it to Foros, indicating that he could check whether what he said was true.
Flowers believed in the guard, he just had a hard time accepting it.
There are at least billions of people in the current world, but the number of people who have been rescued by myself is not even one in ten million.
Foros felt a sense of powerlessness, just like the feeling of powerlessness he felt decades ago when he watched his flagship be destroyed by the Minotaur Chapter.
"You are an angel, not a god." The guard patted Foros on the shoulder to comfort him, "At least you saved more than two hundred people. These two hundred people will pass on the story of the Emperor's Angel descending from the sky to save everyone to future generations."
After hearing this, Foros was silent for a while before responding: "The Emperor's Angel descended from the sky and saved more than two hundred people on a planet with billions of people. Is this an honor or a shame?"
"Is it possible that you are not here to save billions of people, but to save the only two hundred people in a world where the plague is raging and there is no way to ask for help?" the guard said and quickened his pace.
Foros also quickened his pace, and the two returned to the Astartes and civilians together.
It was too easy for ten well-supplied Astartes to protect a group of civilians. In the past few days, the civilians could only hear the sound of gunshots and howls, but could not see the zombies appearing in front of them.
When Foros rushed back, people were thinking about life after safety.
Tessa and her sister were embraced by a very kind Anglican priestess.
"We might go to the surrounding galaxies and continue to survive."
"But no matter what, I can't watch you sisters living on the streets. From today on, I have two people to take care of. May the God Emperor bless us."
Sister Tessa seems to know the female priest. Other civilians are also very kind to this female priest. It can be seen that she is very prestigious and has done many good things for these civilians.
"You are probably going to Tailong. Hurry up, pack up your things, take your family and leave this hellish place." The guard walked up to everyone and urged them, "It must be the God Emperor who protects you, so you have the opportunity to Bathe in the mercy and grace of Lord Tyron. Come on guys."
People happily packed up their things and took their families, and under the protection of the Astartes and the Imperial Guards, they left the underground city and returned to the surface of the planet.
After the guards called for transport planes, the warships that completed the reconnaissance mission and docked in orbit immediately dispatched ten transport planes.
These transport planes passed through the atmosphere and came to the sky above where the people were, and gradually landed in the eyes of civilians full of hope and joy.
"Sir...this is yours..."
Foros heard someone speaking to him. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that Tessa was holding a dagger in both hands and wanted to hand back the weapon.
"Thank you for keeping it." Foros knelt down and took the dagger that gave the girl a lot of security with both hands. Then he stood up and thanked the female priest: "Thank you for being willing to take care of them. Thank you very much."
"We should thank you for your helping hand." The female priest performed the Eagle Salute, "I am not a very rich person, but I will make sure to give them everything I can give."
"Thank you." Foros returned the greeting.
The transport plane landed on the ground.
Everyone entered the cabin after the door opened. Soldiers holding laser rifles and wearing power armor patrolled the cabin. A white drone began to scan everyone's body one by one to confirm that they were not infected by the plague.
Foros watched Tessa nervously, watching the drone land in front of her and then release a green scanning beam.
If the plague is detected in this girl's body... Foros simply can't imagine the consequences.
But luckily the drone flew right in front of Tessa and her sister to scan the next person.
Seeing this, Foros breathed a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye, the drone stopped next to the female priest and sounded the alarm.
The soldiers immediately ran to the female chaplain and motioned her to a metal cubicle in the corner of the cabin.
"The plague is not incurable, but you still have to go there and stay there, sorry." A soldier said.
The pastor recovered from his daze, nodded calmly, touched Sister Tessa's body with a blessing gesture, and then walked calmly to the cubicle.
The guard looked helplessly at Foros: "Maybe the governor will develop a more powerful medicine."
"If..." Foros gritted his teeth, "If you don't have to worry about the hidden dangers of war that shouldn't exist, and if those bastards who think everyone is a heretic can get out early, then our fleet won't have to be in a galaxy for possible arrival. If the enemy is well prepared, we can get here sooner."
The guards were silent and didn't know what to say. Before the governor was appointed as the governor today, the entire Tyrone fleet had to prepare for a pessimistic but steady strategy and could only devote all its efforts to defending Tyrone.
"Send me to another world in this galaxy." Foros said in the communication channel.
This sentence was passed to the captain, and the captain immediately responded: "There is no need for us to go, because the second world in this galaxy has been destroyed."
After hearing this, Foros immediately walked towards the porthole of the cabin.
The transport plane has flown out of the atmosphere and is getting closer to the cruiser. At this time, another world orbiting the star can also be seen.
The world is already green.
"The order I received is to go to the next galaxy. Someone else will clean up this big cesspool." The captain said.
Chapter 143 The Iron Man Force Appears
……
The battleships in the twelve galaxies have turned on their dimensional engines to jump to the next galaxy.
Not long after, light flickered in the dark space, and a battleship appeared out of thin air in the orbit of the second planet in the galaxy.
This battleship is different from other types of battleships in the Tyrone fleet. It looks like a logistics machine that has been enlarged to the level of a battleship. It is twenty kilometers in diameter, is round, and has a large number of tentacles like a logistics machine. Robotic arm.
This super-giant logistics machine-shaped battleship is called Leviathan. It is not responsible for fighting. It has no other weapons except some small particle spear launchers.
Before Leviathan left the factory today, people only knew that the orbital dockyard was building a new warship. This warship, like other warships, was to be added to the Tyron fleet.
At this moment, Leviathan has been teleported from the orbital dock to the sky above the planet. Its mission is to clean up the entire cesspit world. However, it did not release the transport planes on which the landing troops were riding, or directly teleport the troops to the surface. First, explore the robotic arm to the planet below.
These robotic arms integrate the most advanced detection and scanning devices, as well as a large-scale device called a matter extractor.
The so-called matter extractor is simply a reverse application of matter printing technology, which was developed and widely used in the mining activities of the world of Tyrone III.
The mineral veins underground on the planet were quickly scanned out and uprooted by the beam released by the mechanical arm. Countless mineral deposits broke through the surface and rose towards Leviathan at an extremely slow speed. Even the natural gas contained on the planet was drained away. .
The natural gas that enters Leviathan is collected, concentrated and used to make weapons. The minerals are immediately smelted and sent as metal materials to the fully automatic alloy production line. After being turned into alloys, they are sent to the center that occupies 100% of Leviathan. Go to a giant assembly plant with eighty interior spaces.
There are no lights in the assembly plant, and there is no space left for human activities. Here you can only see a large number of production lines as far as the eye can see. Each production line is crowded with large printing equipment, and above the printing equipment It's a hoisted drone.
Even the corners of each production line are stuffed with conveyor stabilizers to convey the alloy directly into the interior of the printing equipment.
After obtaining the materials, the production line was put into operation. Under each hoisted drone, materials gathered out of thin air in the light, and the printed items were restrained and suspended by the force field below the drone.
Soon, a complete Iron Man was printed in the force field under the drone. It was the tall Iron Man with his head on his shoulders that Vic had seen before.
There are many production lines in the assembly plant, and the iron men printed on these production lines are all different.
Some are tall infantry-like Iron Men, some have four mechanical legs carrying giant cannons, and some are shaped like a sphere that can release drones to repair Iron Men. There are even Iron Men as big as a knight mecha and equipped with A large iron man with a chainsword and numerous killing weapons.
After these iron men are created, the internal system automatically starts up. After a series of quick but detailed inspection procedures, the iron men are awakened. Scarlet light is released from the iron men's heads. Their curved upper bodies stand upright, and they are then teleported to the planet. Go up to the surface.
