Chapter 43: The Servant
After being rescued, Yao En received his reward from the captain.
Although his performance against the mutant spiders just now was very poor and he never fired at the enemy, as a person who could suppress the psyker power of a psyker just by getting close to him, he still received a higher reward than everyone else.
Forty throne coins.
Just by following the lead, Yaoen could earn more money than any other soldier's monthly salary.
"Keep in touch." The captain stuffed the throne coin into Yaoen's pocket. "I shouldn't say too much to you, but I advise you not to donate money to the servants and hang out with them less. If the bottom nest and the lower nest are connected in the future, you will most likely be burned to death by the people of the state religion."
"Okay." Yaoen nodded with a smile.
"Okay, let's go, guys." The captain waved to the others and led them out of the passage together.
...
After returning to New Cato, Yao En did not go home immediately. He first went to the craftsman and spent ten throne coins to buy a string of jewelry, and then took the remaining money to a tavern in the southern corner of New Cato.
When Yaoen excitedly pushed open the door, he saw that everyone in the pub was staring at the screen.
A follow-up video of logistics machinery was playing on the screen.
The logistics machinery collected everything that could be used on the battlefield, even the bodies of the rebel soldiers.
The logistics machine calmly approached a mutant, and after detecting that it was still alive, it slowly extended its robotic arm to kill it, and then absorbed the biological tissue into its body.
This video gives people an eerie sense of calm. The logistics machines are never in a hurry no matter what they do. They calmly collect materials and kill enemies.
Calm, cold...
This video was played repeatedly, but the people present did not show any impatience. They watched it very seriously as if they were learning.
Yao En walked carefully to the bar counter of the tavern, put thirty throne coins into the donation box with the word "Servant" written on it, and then watched the video carefully with the people here.
After everyone watched the video carefully for two hours, it was turned off. An officer came out from behind the bar and asked everyone: "What have you learned from this, my brothers and sisters?"
The man was wearing a planetary defense force uniform, and the scars on his face showed that he had participated in a very brutal battle.
"We should learn the mechanical skills of logistics and stay rational and calm at all times. We should not be angry, happy, or sad."
Everyone answered in unison.
This has been a standard question and standard answer for a long time. Everyone present has watched the logistics machinery video countless times, and they have also answered the officers' questions countless times.
"We are the servants of the Legion Commander," the officer declared loudly, "even though he never admits it, he is a god by right."
"I have seen fortresses rise from the might of his power."
"I've seen him create these machines that bring us supplies."
"I have also seen him unleash fire and lightning on the battlefield, blasting the rebels who came like a flood into ashes."
"I am a company commander in the 47th Regiment and I have witnessed many miracles."
When the officer said these words coldly and indifferently, the people present did not burst into cheers or applause. They just nodded coldly and tried their best to suppress their excitement.
In "Servant", everyone is taught to learn the cold indifference of logistical machinery, suppressing and restraining their emotions.
This is because the officer who founded the Servants, like some people in this city, believed that Qin Mo was a god, and that the god created the omnipotent logistics machinery.
These people believe that logistics machines are not only suppliers of food and fresh water, but also teachers. People should learn from logistics machines, be as cold and emotionless as them, and execute any orders unconditionally.
"Share your experiences." The officer sat down and ordered everyone.
"I was saved today." Yao En said excitedly, "When I was in the most critical situation, two messengers came down from the sky and saved me."
Hearing this, everyone present looked at Yaoen with envy.
"Control your emotions." The officer frowned and warned, then said: "I understand your feelings. When my comrades and I were trapped in a building by the rebels, God and his messengers suddenly appeared and turned the tide of the battle in an instant. Even though no one in our regiment sent out a signal for help, they still came."
"Sorry, I just joined..." Yaoen quickly suppressed his excitement and other emotions, trying to remain as cold and indifferent as possible.
"It's okay, brother. Everyone needs to learn and grow." The officer nodded and did not continue to blame him.
Yaoen was happy with this tolerance and kindness, because only when he faced these people here would he not feel inferior in the hateful and contemptuous eyes of others.
"We should have died." The officer stood up and looked at everyone indifferently, "The people in Cato City have been forgotten as before, and our army is executing a stupid attack plan. We are short of supplies and we are facing heavy sieges from the rebels. We should have died."
"But we were saved by many miracles."
"In desperate situations, it is the logistics machinery that supplies us with food and weapons and equipment. When we are in trouble, we only need to make an application and the messengers will arrive within three minutes."
"The messengers are chosen warriors. They wear God's creations and can wipe out large numbers of rebels in an instant. Together with God, they saved us all."
After hearing this, Yao En and everyone else nodded in agreement.
At the time, Cato was being besieged by rebels, who had already captured half of the city.
After God and his messenger came and turned the tide of the battle, Yao En followed God and fought side by side. He thought that he would disgust God, but surprisingly, not only was he not disgusted, but he was also encouraged and protected.
Yao En still remembers that he was fighting on the main road in the city and encountered a rebel tank. He was so terrified that he lay on the ground with his head in his hands. Then he heard the sound of the tank gun firing, but the shell did not explode after hitting him, and did not even penetrate his body. It fell on his body like a soft insect and then slid off.
God came, released lightning to smash the tank, and then stretched out his hand to himself: "Get up!"
Although it has been a long time since the defense of Cato, Yaoen dreams of this scene every night.
"Yao En, come with me later." The officer interrupted Yao En's recollection, "You are a lucky man. After I reported all your situations, God said he wanted to see you."
"Really?!" Yaoen was ecstatic.
"Control your emotions."
"Yes, sorry."
