At this moment, the three of them watched as a giant cleaver-axe Tyranid charged over, lunging at Commissar Cain, who was being carried.
Li Feng, seeing this, immediately drew his revolver from his waist and aimed directly at the cleaver-axe Tyranid's skull.
With a gunshot, the powerful .44 inch Magnum round shattered the cleaver-axe Tyranid's skull.
Li Feng gave Cain a hard kick in the butt.
"What are you standing around for?! Run!"
Everyone immediately ran towards the position.
It must be said that the Valhallan marksmanship was accurate; several Tyranids that tried to pounce were shot down remotely by lasguns.
However, Li Feng had only run a few steps when a massive tail wrapped around his ankle, lifting him directly into the air.
Sergeant Yugen, who was being carried on Cain's shoulder, noticed this and immediately shouted:
"Commissar! They've captured Li Feng!"
Cain, at this point, no longer cared about Yugen's pungent body odor.
He looked back and saw Li Feng dangling from the Hive Tyrant's tail, desperately trying to hack at the tail with the entrenching tool in his hand.
Because he was suspended in the air, Li Feng couldn't use his full strength, even swinging wildly several times.
But he noticed that as he was suspended by the tail, he was getting closer and closer to the Hive Tyrant's head...
Cain also realized what the Hive Tyrant was trying to do at this moment...
"It's going to eat him!!!"
They watched as the Hive Tyrant opened its gaping maw, flicked its tail, and flung Li Feng into its mouth full of sharp teeth.
Li Feng shouted at this moment:
"Commissar! Save me! I'm going to be swallowed whole!!!!"
Then the Hive Tyrant's mouth closed, and Li Feng's voice was no longer heard...
At this moment, the Soldiers on the position, and Cain and Yugen, who were still limping and running, all knew... Li Feng was dead, eaten by the Hive Tyrant...
At this moment, the Soldiers on the Valhalla position were filled with anger.
Although Li Feng was not a combatant, and their relationship with Yugen was merely so-so, he had sacrificed himself to save his comrade...
Then Li Feng! He was now a Valhallan! A Valhallan man who sacrificed himself to save a comrade!
A more concentrated barrage of bullets poured towards the Tyranid Swarm, and many Soldiers even jumped out of the trenches, launching a counter-charge against the Tyranid Swarm.
Several Soldiers rushed in front of Cain and Yugen, helping Cain carry the leg-injured Yugen towards the position.
"Bang!" A muffled sound came.
Suddenly, all the Tyranids' movements stopped.
The Hive Tyrant suddenly opened its mouth wide, letting out a painful howl, even emitting black smoke from its mouth.
And the next second, several more muffled thuds were heard from inside the Hive Tyrant's belly, and then the Hive Tyrant's belly burst open.
Li Feng, covered in blood, jumped out of the Hive Tyrant's belly and began to vomit, leaning on the Hive Tyrant's corpse as it knelt in death...
At this moment, all the Tyranids seemed to have lost their network connection; the Tyranid Swarm further away scattered, running around like startled mice and cockroaches.
At this moment, Cain pushed away the Soldier who was supporting him and walked towards Li Feng.
He noticed several sparkling iron rings hanging on Li Feng's fingers... those were the pull rings of Imperial infantry grenades...
Seeing a large number of Tyranids dead and the rest fleeing in all directions, all the Soldiers on the position were stunned, then erupted into thunderous cheers:
"We won!"
"Hooray! We did it!"
At this moment, Cain was patting Li Feng's back, trying to make the vomiting Li Feng feel better.
Li Feng had just been swallowed into the Hive Tyrant's body, and a large amount of strange digestive fluid, internal organs, bile, and bitter water had filled Li Feng's mouth.
In a moment of desperation, Li Feng fumbled in the dark for several grenades and, without thinking, pulled the pins.
Because even though he wouldn't die or be digested inside the Hive Tyrant's belly... he would eventually be disgusted to death...
10 minutes later,
Li Feng was wiping his body with a rag; he felt that his body still had the corrosive smell of Hive Tyrant digestive fluid...
If conditions hadn't prevented it, he would definitely have taken a good bath.
At this moment, he looked at the pile of clothes that had come to this world with him, which had been riddled with holes by the Hive Tyrant's digestive fluid.
Li Feng could only pick them up one by one and then use the panel to restore their damaged durability to 100%.
At this moment, two achievements popped up on the panel:
"Congratulations on repelling a Tyranid Swarm, reward: 'Infinite Psionic Power' unlocked."
"Congratulations on killing a Hive Tyrant, reward: one lottery draw."
...At this time, outside, a large number of civilians and miners had almost finished evacuating.
The Valhalla main force had defeated the main force of the Tyranid Swarm, and communications with the Kofaya Fleet had been restored.
At this moment, the Kofaya Fleet was clearing the Tyranid Hive Ships within the star system.
Cain and Colonel Lao Mo listened to the briefing from Adjutant Diaz.
It seemed that this crisis was over, and their next step was to wait for the Kofaya Fleet to send transport ships.
As the officers in the temporary command room left one by one, Cain also planned to return to his recently tidied barracks for a good night's sleep.
But just as he was about to leave, Colonel Lao Mo said:
"Commissar Cain, please stay."
Cain no longer heard the previous "looking down on newcomers" tone in Lao Mo's voice; instead, there was a hint of respect.
Cain stayed, and Lao Mo waited for all the officers in the room to leave before speaking again.
"Commissar, I want to talk to you about Li Feng."
Lao Mo's tone became very serious, and Cain immediately got goosebumps.
This Valhallan, who grew up in an ice world, was actually able to lower the temperature of a desert tent by several degrees, like a "human air conditioner."
Cain wasn't stupid; he knew what Lao Mo wanted to say.
"Colonel Moschu, are you referring to Li Feng's 'unusualness'?"
No one would deny Li Feng's combat prowess, as everyone had witnessed it firsthand.
In this universe, which was like a cesspool, everyone had seen those naturally strong and formidable men; this was not unusual.
However... Li Feng being eaten by a Hive Tyrant, then using grenades to self-detonate, and emerging from the Hive Tyrant's belly alive and unharmed... this was not a common occurrence.
Leaving aside how Li Feng survived the Hive Tyrant's digestive fluid, which could corrode steel creations, just consider the power of several grenades exploding simultaneously in such a situation.
Even a genetically modified super Soldier: a Space Marine (Astartes), would not survive.
Colonel Lao Mo nodded, looked around again, confirming that there were no "eavesdroppers" nearby, and then continued:
"I want to ask, as an Imperial Commissar, how do you view this matter."
Cain knew that Lao Mo wanted to ask about how to deal with Li Feng.
Because the Imperial Army, whether Space Marine Chapters or regular Astra Militarum, had an unwritten tradition.
The military commander was responsible for military affairs, and the internal affairs commander was responsible for "internal affairs."
And Cain's duty as a Commissar, like that of a Space Marine Chapter's Chaplain, was to judge such matters.
As an Imperial Commissar, when such an incident occurred, it was usually reported to the Inquisition immediately to confirm whether the individual was corrupted.
As Commissar Cain, he could confirm that there was no corruption in Li Feng.
In fact, when Li Feng emerged from the Hive Tyrant's belly, Cain even checked Li Feng's body for injuries, and the result was that Li Feng was completely unharmed.
Cain even found that the "purity" of Li Feng's physical structure was unusually high; the shape of his skull and bones was probably more standard than the sacred bone frameworks that adorned the central parts of cathedrals on Holy Terra.
Cain did not want to send someone who had been through life-and-death situations with him to a place like the Inquisition, but he also needed an excuse to explain all of this...
Cain paused, then looked at Colonel Lao Mo and said: "As a Commissar of the Imperial Department of Military Affairs, I believe that what happened to Li Feng... is a miracle, a miracle bestowed by the Holy Emperor."
Lao Mo nodded after hearing this.
He actually didn't want this young man to suffer greatly, because he had saved Sergeant Yugen in front of all the Soldiers.
Although Yugen's situation was also "quite special," Yugen was, after all, one of them.
If Li Feng were to be taken away by an Inquisitor of the Inquisition in front of everyone because of this, then Lao Mo wouldn't be able to lead this regiment anymore.
"Commissar, I agree with your opinion; this must be the great power of the Holy Emperor!"
Saying this, Lao Mo pulled two epaulets from his pocket, bearing the insignia of a second lieutenant.
Cain took them, somewhat puzzled, and Lao Mo then explained:
"The Kofaya Fleet will not accept non-Imperial Army personnel on board.
Now, I will list Li Feng in the regimental roster as a Quartermaster for the 12th Valhalla Field Artillery Regiment.
Until he is picked up by the people of Terra, Commissar, let him stay by your side; he can sweep floors, wipe cannons, and so on."
After hearing this, Cain put the epaulets into his pocket, and then Lao Mo continued:
"As a Commissar, you also need an adjutant to look after your daily life.
Sergeant Yugen, who was just in the infirmary, said he volunteered to be your adjutant."
Upon hearing this, Cain, who had been relatively calm just a moment ago, immediately became agitated.
As soon as he thought about having to endure that strange smell every day from now on, he opened his mouth to refuse, but a sudden stinging pain in his palm almost made him cry out.
