Chapter 144 136. Collection addict
Hades stood at the entrance of the shuttle, looking at the children who were doing boarding inspection.
They are allowed to bring one or two personal belongings of their own.
After two rounds of selection, a total of more than 2,000 people passed the trial.
For this Death Guard recruitment, the total number of people who signed up was more than 2.3 million.
In the second round of selection that just ended, most of the groups that passed the level had a small number of people form a group, and then relied on force to stop the robbery.
Of course, there are also cases where people change their minds midway, and the children who originally suppressed and robbed became driven by hunger and became robbers.
In these rooms, after confirming that no one came out to try to correct them, they were all eliminated. There was no need for them to continue to endure torture.
In a few rooms where force rarely occurs, there will also be voluntary withdrawals.
There were also very few rooms or two where there was no dispute from beginning to end.
But in the later stages, much of the room was replaced by chaos.
Unqualified.
Children who take the initiative to compete or induce others to compete will be disqualified.
On the contrary, children who will step in to prevent such behavior (being a bystander but actively choose to take action) and actively distribute their own food will be regarded as qualified even if they drop out midway.
Those children who failed will be given short-term memory erasure to make them forget the content of the two screenings, and then they will be given food for a week before they can go back.
"Earth?"
The words of Morag, who was inspecting items, pulled Hades out of his contemplation.
Hades turned his attention to the child, ah, it was Antaeus.
Hades certainly remembered the child who climbed to the top of the mountain. The room he was in was one of the few in the second round where no one left.
The child was holding a small glass bottle with a little soil in it.
This attracted Hades's interest,
"What are you bringing?"
"Tu, sir."
An Tai stood where he was and answered honestly.
"Why Obito?"
Hades asked,
"After I heard about the Death Guard, it would be difficult to return to Barbarus."
"So I took some soil from my field."
Hades winked. After blinking, he reached out and picked up the bottle.
The dull earth of Barbarus sloshed within.
Hades covered the black area.
The negligible amount of psychic energy disappeared.
"Okay."
Hades returned the small bottle to Antaeus.
"Of course you can bring them up."
Hades stood back again, crossing his arms and continuing to examine the children.
When the children were about to board the plane, Mortarion, who had arranged Barbarus's next batch of colonization plans, also appeared.
Mortarion looked thoughtfully at the children who were holding more or less personal belongings representing themselves.
"I didn't ask them to take anything."
The first batch of Death Guards didn't have any personal belongings.
Mortarion felt that it was necessary for them to bring something of their own back to the Death Guard.
Hades shrugged,
"Most people don't have anything to take."
Hades thought of his humble house. Apart from the necessary daily necessities, he really didn't have much else.
Or the things from the empire are used to bring strength.
"No."
Mortarion said,
"They need to keep their memories of Barbarus."
Mortarion's scythe and his censer are all constantly reminding Mortarion of where he came from. Come.
"The sufferings of the past will shape us, and the Death Guard should remember every suffering."
"Suffering, we go through it, it makes us more tired, tougher and more aware of why we are alive."
Hades blinked.
"I have long forgotten all the battles on Barbarus." "
Then maybe you should keep a souvenir."
"What can I bring? Is it possible that I bring up the bowl I used before?"
Hades joked.
"Maybe it can be something else."
Mortarion slowly picked up one of the incense burners that fell on his armor, and the rich poisonous gas floated up.
He unscrewed the incense burner and took out
a half-stone.
"This is?"
Hades looked at the half stone, which always felt strangely familiar.
Mortarion rolled his eyes at him.
"You are indeed forgetful."
"Here."
Hades took it. This was half of the stone, and the other half was gone.
He tried to use black field perception-
fuck? !
Hades suddenly remembered.
Was this the battle where he first became aware of the Black Territory? !
Alien Lord Lazar!
"You still keep this?!"
Hades blurted out.
"This is proof that the Death Guard killed the alien lord for the first time except for me. Why not keep it?" "Besides
this, I also keep the skull of the first alien lord. The southern resistance army was the first to kill the lord together. "Ribs,"
Mortarion said matter-of-factly.
In the Primarch's personal space, there were a lot of trivial things that could prove the Death Guard's success on Barbarus.
Mortarion believed that his collection would soon be filled with the spoils of other space battles.
Currently, he has placed the skull of the supreme leader of Galaspa safely in his warehouse.
Hades glanced at Mortarion strangely.
He suddenly remembered that although there was no decoration on the Endurance, Mortarion ordered that all the battles the Death Guard had experienced be engraved on the bow of the ship.
Now, the Battle of Galaspa has been engraved on the head of the Endurance in High Gothic.
Hmm. Thinking that Mortarion still persisted in using his alien adoptive father's scythe,
Hades threw the half stone into his power armor compartment with a complicated mood.
It seems that many primarchs have this hobby. The Ultramarines have blankets sewn with achievements, and the Blood Angels have artworks that praise various battles.
Most Primarchs keep personal collections of items symbolizing past battles.
It's just that Mortarion has a simple aesthetic,
with skulls and stones.
"How is the migration plan going?"
Hades decided not to think about this and changed the topic and asked,
"It's almost there."
Mortarion said,
"In one Barbarus standard year, we can move to almost the same place."
"Barbarus There are actually not many people left,"
Mortarion said slowly.
Because the previous Blackstone Laboratory proved the strange psychic environment here, they decided to migrate most of Barbarus's population to the star ring.
Most of the previous people had spontaneously migrated to the ring.
Although this facilitated his work, this fact still made the Primarch feel vaguely frustrated.
He originally thought that people would choose to stay here and hone their skills
. But Hades was secretly thinking that
the construction work on the planet's surface would not begin until the Death Guard found a solution to Barbarus's environmental problems.
He had to think of a way to see if he could try to get some low-end black stone obelisks.
