My empire of stars

Monica was born in a nuclear-proof shelter. In her childhood, she only had the dim lights of the shelter, drinking water full of disinfectant smell, tasteless nutritional supplements to satisfy her hunger, and her favorite mutant insects as a child. of meat.

The refuge was her childhood. She once didn't know what the outside world was like, but she could get a little idea from the precious images she kept before the war. For example, the sky was blue, the ground was covered with green grass, and there were There are forests, there are rivers, there are cities.

Oh yes, the city is her favorite place. I heard that there are skyscrapers made of glass, several hundred meters high! This was incredible for her at such a young age. I also heard that the people living there are very happy and have countless delicious food. Although I don’t know what is delicious, it must be something more delicious than the meat of mutated insects!

If the nuclear war between the Big Bear Country and the Little British Alliance hadn't broken out, she would still be attending classes in the legendary school, wearing her favorite fancy clothes, but it was all because of that war!

The vibration in the distance brought Monica back to reality from her memories. Now she was wearing clothes made of dark black tattered linen, huddled between two collapsed ruins.

She has been homeless since a riot broke out at the shelter three years ago and the director blew up the reactor and air purifier. He wanders among the ruins all day long and makes a living by hunting mutant insects.

The sky is still gloomy, with volcanic ash floating in the air. The green plants in the city have long since disappeared, replaced by dark red moss. These moss absorb radiation and grow, replacing plants to produce the oxygen that Monica needs to survive.

Monica remained motionless, her eyes fixed on the mutated carbonyl in the open space in the distance, and her hand tightly holding a javelin made of discarded steel bars.

As Carbonyl slowly approached, she charged up the javelin in her hand and threw it out. At the same time, her whole body popped up like a cannonball! Monica, who was still in the air, took out the two daggers from her waist. These were the only possessions she brought out from the shelter!

Poof. The javelin stabbed into Xingji's abdomen. Monica fell down at this moment, kicked off the javelin, and jumped onto the two-meter-high Xingji's back! Two daggers were aimed at the seam between Carbonyl's head armor and back armor and were stabbed hard!

"Here!!!" Carbonyl screamed! He began to shake his body violently, trying to throw the guy off his back. But Monica didn't give it this chance. She pulled out the dagger, jumped forward, turned her body 180 degrees, and stabbed the dagger hard into Carbonyl's two huge compound eyes!

Not willing to fight, Monica pulled out her dagger and jumped out of Carbonyl's attack range. While Xingji was struggling in pain due to the injury to his compound eye, she walked around to Xingji's side, held the javelin and slashed sideways with all her strength! Dark green bodily fluids gush out from the open wound.

After a moment, Carbonyl became silent, and Monica skillfully cut off six of Carbonyl's thighs. This was the most valuable part of this mutated insect. She didn't need to venture out to hunt for at least five days!

Just when she was happily ready to leave with the loot on her back, countless carbonyl groups slowly surrounded her! These bugs have simple intelligence! This is a trap!

Monica was desperate in the face of such a fatal situation, and pointed the dagger at her neck as if resigned to her fate.

At this moment, a few flashes of light flashed in the sky, and a small group of drones appeared in the sky. The drone's magazine opened, and thumb-sized missiles fell like snowflakes. There was a deafening explosion around Monica, and the air waves caused by the explosion blew her hair into the air.

"Is this?" Monica was a little confused. She had only seen this kind of explosion scene in documentaries. Since civilization was destroyed by a "bomb", no one has ever used this kind of weapon!

After dropping the bomb, the drone roared over Monica's head and flew towards the sky.

Monica, who was still in a state of shock, saw a huge fireball appear in the sky in the distance, and a huge spaceship flashing red light quickly approached.

She didn't know that the exploration and research ship had been watching her for a month. As the first industrial civilization that the empire encountered, although it was an industrial civilization that was almost destroyed, it still had great research value!

These civilized creatures are also very receptive to advanced technology! He is the best candidate for slave and cannon fodder!

Li Mingze thought about how millions of "cannon fodder" orbital airborne troops wearing simple versions of powered armor would fall from the sky during future landings on other planets! Even if you die in battle, you won’t get any pension! There is no need to consume the empire’s precious population! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

The exploration ship slowly landed in front of Monica, and the hatch at the bottom opened. Several guards in power armor quickly ran out, took out electric shock devices, knocked out the dazed Monica, and carried her onto the spacecraft.

The exploration ship started the anti-gravity engine and quickly left the planet and returned to orbit.

The sleeping Monica was stripped of her dirty clothes by several robots and sent into the cleaning chamber. The cleaning chamber sprayed out high-speed water mist, followed by disinfectant, then biodegradable shower gel, and water mist again.

The fragrant Monica is out. The robot waiting at the side came up and shaved off the blue hairs on Monica's body and put them into storage (this is an excellent research material), and then used a laser to remove the scars left on Monica's body. Another robot put the prepared work clothes on Monica and put a safety ring around her neck.

The safety ring is inserted deep into the spinal cord, and vaccines and medical robots are implanted while extracting spinal fluid. This safety ring also has a self-explosion function to prevent some indigenous people from falsely landing.

After sorting it out, the robots placed it in a lounge. Monica, who was sleeping soundly, had no idea that her life would undergo earth-shaking changes from today on.

Inside the blue bricks, Li Mingze said to AI Tianyi: "Get ready to come to the warehouse. I want to meet my future cannon fodder captain in person!"

After that, he stepped into the advent warehouse.

Dozens of light years away, No. 005 is exploring the scientific research ship. Li Mingze's replacement, Yoyo, wakes up from the dormant cabin. Wearing the handsome power armor and cloak, he walked towards the observation room.

In the observation room, Monica sat on a white rubber bed, somewhat helpless. The light blue skin turned a little pink due to nervousness, and the two antennae on her head also contracted inward due to nervousness.

Li Mingze opened the heavy door of the observation room and came to the chair in front of the bed.

Pulling out the chair, he sat down facing Monica and stared at her. I have to say that although I had seen the photos, I was still shocked to see her in person, not because of her beauty, but because she could be found in the universe. Mammals that are not very different from humans!
