Chapter 17 White Hair
A ray of light shone into Lin Fan's slowly opening eyes. The blur in front of him made him blink several times before he could focus on a clear picture. Lin Fan felt so tired and exhausted, just like a person who had not exercised for a long time and suddenly got inspired to go to the gym to exercise for several hours, and felt weak and sore the next day. However, this feeling of discomfort might be more uncomfortable. In the previous example, he was still going up and down the stairs and feeling the muscle pulling all the time.
Licking his lips, Lin Fan felt so thirsty. It's funny to say that before this coma, Lin Fan didn't feel thirsty, even sleepy and tired. He didn't feel this way even during training. It wasn't until he bumped into those superhuman Chaos Space Marines that this feeling of fatigue came up.
Lin Fan thought bitterly that it seemed that he was not completely invincible. The load of a mortal body forcing to follow the rhythm of those superhumans was too great, so that his spirit was crushed. But fortunately, he was still alive, instead of being disemboweled by chainsaw swords and blown to pieces by bolt guns like those good brothers in the assault squad. Thinking of this, Lin Fan, who felt a little bitter, sniffed and made a sound.
"Oh! God Emperor! Our hero is awake!"
The cheering voice came from Lin Fan's left, followed by the sound of anxious footsteps.
Lin Fan raised his head with difficulty and looked at the people who surrounded him. He saw only the iconic bald head of Old Jock and Domian, as well as some unfamiliar soldiers, but from their clothes, Lin Fan thought they might be people from the Inquisition.
"Good boy, I heard about your achievements from those soldiers. It's really amazing! If it were me, I would never think of you doing this well." Old Jock's rough voice took away all of Lin Fan's attention. He noticed that Old Jock had a red mechanical prosthetic eye, and his left arm was also replaced with a metal mechanical arm.
"Old Jock, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, you're talking about this!" Old Jock knocked the mechanical arm with his exaggeratedly strong right arm, making a dull metallic sound, and it sounded like the arm was very heavy. "Our third company's base was also attacked by the rebels, but I'm not a sergeant like you, and I easily killed them all. These are just a few memories I left behind."
Listening to Old Jock's simple and rough description, Lin Fan laughed happily. He knew that although Old Jock said it was easy, the battle was actually very difficult. After all, the equipment of the third company was not that good, and the number of people was the smallest among all the companies.
The two ignored Domian, who looked like he was worshipping an idol, and started talking.
Lin Fan had been unconscious for almost half a month. During this period, Colonel Mark returned to Ketun with more than 60 soldiers from the first company and more than 1,000 new recruits from the fourth and fifth reserve companies. The engine of the loader that saved many lives also completed its mission and was completely damaged. It is said that the apprentice priest of Delia also performed many memorial ceremonies for the machine soul of the loader.
Colonel Mark's troops easily defeated the Chaos rebels who were completely a mob, and the residents of Ketun, who suffered from the crazy actions of the rebels, also picked up various farm tools in their homes and fought them happily. In this place where there is a serious shortage of weapons, only the Star Army and the Planetary Defense Force stationed on the planet can have some weapons. However, the number of the Planetary Defense Force that was incited was so small. The sudden uprising and the lack of organization made the rebellion suppressed by Colonel Mark and the residents of Ketun.
When counting the number of casualties of the 37th Regiment afterwards, excluding the 4th and 5th companies, which lost more than 3,000 people due to equipment problems and insufficient training when facing the rebels, the 1st company lost more than 900 people under the attack of Chaos Space Marines, and the 2nd company suffered few casualties in the face of the rebels, only more than 200 people were killed; the 3rd company was also hit hard because of its small number of people, and almost more than 400 people died in the crossfire with the rebels.
But many of the rebellious planetary defense forces were also purged. Basically, the total of more than 30,000 defense forces protecting the entire Green Basin and the surrounding areas were almost wiped out, with only a few hundred people left hiding everywhere.
After analyzing this rebellion, Colonel Mark and Commissar Ode, who returned from the branch of the Mechanicus, found that there was no rebellion like this one on the entire planet. This rebellion was local, and extremely hasty and unplanned. It looked like an attention-grabbing move to cover up something.
The ring of seaweed that was dug by the Mechanicus to ensure the circulation of water vapor around the world has isolated two flat and wide continents. The 37th Regiment is stationed in the center of the east side of the ring of seaweed, that is, in the green basin. Although Ketun, as the center of the continent on this side, also has many important internal affairs agencies, it exists more as a core agricultural distribution center, and its administrative and religious significance is not great. According to what Commissar Ode said after his return, the priests of the branch temple of the Mechanicus had been killed before he arrived, and the ground was full of oil and blood. The huge instrument responsible for planetary communication was also completely destroyed, and even caused the agricultural production in the other hemisphere to stagnate due to lack of communication.
If we only exclude the death of hundreds of thousands of local residents, this rebellion is simply pitiful in the eyes of Colonel Mark and Commissar Ode. They have been patrolling and searching everywhere in the past few days in order to find more hidden dangers.

However, due to the Empire's vigilance against any chaos corruption, the forces of the Inquisition and the State Church also came to this ordinary peaceful world and began a purity review lasting several years. The peaceful life on the planet may be broken in this way, and perhaps more people will be identified as having unsteady faith and be burned to death on the stake by the paranoids of the Inquisition.
"But I heard from Colonel Mark that the black cans you killed were not small, and even the officials of the Inquisition were alarmed. I think they will come back to see you soon." As soon as Old Jock finished speaking, Lin Fan could hear the noisy footsteps in the hospital corridor.
As the door of the medical room opened, Colonel Mark, Commissar Ode and a cold white-haired woman wearing a black slim-fitting uniform and a signature Inquisition tall hat rushed into Lin Fan's medical room. This small single medical room seemed even more narrow and crowded.
Without waiting for Colonel Mark and Commissar Ode to speak first, the white-haired woman praised Lin Fan, "I am the Inquisitor of the Inquisition, Ogunilla Weisi. I am here to investigate your great achievements, loyal soldier."
The general style of the Inquisitor, Weisi's setting is being drawn
Although it looks like the Inquisitor is here to give Lin Fan a medal, from her indifferent expression and cold voice, Lin Fan just feels a headache.
Colonel Mark and Commissar Ode did not say much, but turned their heads and expressed something with their mouths, but judging from the shape of their lips, it was definitely not a good word.
"At least for now, I won't examine you." As if knowing what Lin Fan was thinking, Wei Si changed her offensive and changed to a reasonable look, "After all, the heroes of the empire also need a little respect, right? But after you can get down to the ground, we will take you to do the necessary examination." Wei Si's arrogance that could not be refused came from Wei Si, and Lin Fan even wondered if all the judges were so arrogant.
Without waiting for Lin Fan to reply, or Wei Si didn't need to ask for the consent of a small soldier. She stepped out of the medical room with a crisp sound with the judge's high boots on her feet.
Colonel Mark curled his lips: "This is why I will never like these guys."
"I guess you don't like me either?"
Commissar Ode's ridicule made Colonel Mark laugh, and the suppressed serious atmosphere in the medical room was swept away.
