Star Planter

It was several hours after Zhuang Wei received the news of the accident on the Iris.

After leaving the Iris, he closed his personal terminal, and he needed to think about the development of the whole matter.Zhuang Wei knew that Lu Li was right, the possibility of traitors in the Third Legion was much higher than that of the Iris.The most obvious point is that if the person behind the scenes can really pretend to be another person quietly, it is obviously more valuable to lurk beside him than to lurk beside a federal major.

Zhuang Wei wanted to know, what would the people behind the scenes do after hearing that the Iris escaped from the beast tide safely?Will it continue to launch the second wave of beast tide?Not too possible.The opening of the wormhole requires coordinates. The Iris can change its course at any time during the voyage. The other party knows this and should not do so.Otherwise, the other party can completely attack him on his way to Poxing without dragging him to Poxing.In this way, what Zhuang Wei has to guard against is that the opponent locates his fixed coordinates.

He thought well, but the news of the accident on the Iris disrupted his plan.He was shocked to hear Lin Ji say that the Iris was involved in a subspace storm, and he couldn't recover for a while. "The Iris was involved in the subspace storm?" Zhuang Wei repeated.

Lin Ji didn't expect this to happen.He clicked on the terminal, and the headlines on the homepages of the major news channels of the Federation were all news of the appearance of dark beasts and king beasts in Poxing.Everyone on the Iris was reported as a hero by the Federation.However, the hero was unlucky, and escaped from the dark beast tide but not from the warp space storm.

Zhuang Wei: "..."

Lin Ji turned off the terminal and said, "What are your plans?"

Zhuang Wei immediately realized that this was an opportunity.He pondered slightly, "There are only a few people who know that I left the Iris. Major Lu disappeared with the Iris, and the rest of the insiders are on this starship..."

Lin Ji raised his eyebrows, "You want to fake death?"

Zhuang Wei lowered his eyes, tapped on the podium lightly, and said lightly: "Isn't this what the people behind the scenes are looking forward to? Only when I die can I see their next move."

Lin Ji didn't care, and asked, "Do you really think that someone from the Federation colluded with the Dark Beast?"

Zhuang Wei looked at him calmly, "Of course I hope not, but what about the facts, hasn't Colonel Lin already reached a conclusion?"

Two beast tides, two coincident timings, Zhuang Wei still firmly believes that humans cannot control the beast tide, but what if humans and dark beasts collude?What if, as some people guessed, the dark beasts actually have different classes like human society, and the dark king beast at the top has wisdom?Under the long and endless war, it is not impossible for the other party to try to infiltrate human society.In fact, if humans knew where the Dark Beast came from, they might have already managed to infiltrate into the Dark Beast's camp.

Lin Ji was silent, then smiled wryly, "The Iris is really unlucky."

The beast tide may be a man-made disaster, but the subspace storm is completely a natural disaster!

Zhuang Wei sighed, thinking of the boy Lu Li asked him to take care of, no matter what their relationship was, he needed to be told about it.And Li Zhengdao, he faked his death and didn't intend to hide it from Li Zhengdao.Some things are inconvenient for him alone, and he needs Li Zhengdao's helper.To some extent, Li Zhengdao is also the only person he can trust in the Federation.Almost instantly, Zhuang Wei had made up his mind, "Change the course, let's go to the Seventh Army."

Light years away, no one on the Iris knows what happened in the Galactic Federation.They are sailing in the vast sea, looking for land that may land.The Iris suffered a lot of damage during the previous landing, and the anti-gravity system failed. Currently, it can only be driven by the remaining energy, sailing on the sea like a ship.

After several hours of sailing along the wind direction, the fourth team that went to explore the road returned one after another.According to the map returned by the fourth team, the Iris is not far from the land, but something seems wrong.On the virtual light screen, the land picture taken by the fourth team shows that the edge of the ocean is an endless desert.There is no transition between the two, and they are clearly connected together, which looks very weird.

Lu Li swiped the light screen, and the photos taken by the fourth team were far and near. It seemed that there was no problem alone, but when he was with Hai Yang, he always felt that something was out of harmony.

He asked the most concerned question, "Is there any energy fluctuation of the energy stone?"

Dong Ming, who was in charge of leading the team, shook his head.

Everyone was a little disappointed.Lu Li didn't react too much, and continued to ask, "Have you found any life forms in the desert?"

Dong Ming stepped forward and clicked on the screen behind. In the light screen, a green plant bloomed in the desert like a flower.He explained: "The roots of this plant are buried in the desert, and more than a dozen tentacles-like plants protrude from the ground one after another. The plants are covered with tiny respiratory organs, which is a kind that the Federation has never seen before." Plants. It is also the only life form found within the search range."

"Levels of danger?"

Dong Ming affirmed: "Between 0-3, it's harmless."

The Federation has been in the universe for many years and has discovered all kinds of strange planets.There is a set of fixed criteria for judging the indigenous life forms of each planet. 0-3 is harmless, 4-7 is moderately dangerous, but it is still relatively harmless to sentries. Between 8-10 is dangerous, and the sentry needs to be more vigilant. More than 10 is to enter the combat state.

Lu Li looked at Shen Shen, and Shen Shen made a suggestion, "The danger level is very low, and there is no danger to ordinary humans. You can consider going to shore."

The energy of the Iris is about to run out, and a supplementary energy source must be found as soon as possible.In addition, food shortage is also a problem that they need to solve.Before leaving Starbreaker, more than half of the supply of the Iris had been completed, but the premise of purchasing supplies at the beginning was that the number of members of the Iris was less than 40.Now besides the members of the First Squadron, there are more than 300 refugees in the bilge of the Iris, and they cannot be left alone.

Lu Li made a final decision, "The Iris is docked, the search area has been further expanded, and we will continue to search for energy stones."

An hour later, Su He stood at the window, dumbfounded at the desert outside.He wondered if he had missed something, the blue waves were still boundless in front of him, and the sky was full of yellow sand in a blink of an eye.Lu Li knocked on the door and asked him, "The Iris has docked, do you want to go out and have a look?"

Su He asked subconsciously, "Desert?"

Lu Li laughed, "This planet has a peculiar terrain, where oceans and deserts meet, half sea and half flames, the scenery is very special."

Su He's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately upon hearing this.When they approached the shore, the luminous sphere in the sky was about to fall to the west, and the orange-red light covered the sea surface, creating a dazzling glow.The rays of sunshine spread along the desert, and the monotonous yellow sand reflects colorful light.The green plant tentacles stretched against the wind in the light, and there seemed to be a faint fluorescence diverging.From a distance, the whole desert reveals a coquettish beauty.

The refugees in the bottom deck were allowed to leave the Iris for the first time, and they ran outside to look around curiously.Most of these people have never seen the real sea. Compared with the desert, which is as harsh as the star-breaking environment, their attention is attracted by the ocean, and they can't wait to jump into the sea.

"Water, so much water!"

Many people wept with joy, in Po Xingshui is a scarce commodity, which needs to be exchanged for credits.They never imagined that one day the ocean would be so wide open in front of them that there would be so much water that they could jump in and take a bath without fear.

While arranging people to go fishing in the shallow sea, Shen Shen strictly restricted the scope of activities of everyone in the bottom cabin.Although no danger has been found on this planet for the time being, it is the nature of soldiers to be cautious.These people in the bottom deck can survive on the broken star, they are naturally well versed in the way of survival, and they are determined not to go against the meaning of the sentinel.They stayed obediently by the sea, and took the time to wash their bodies.

As soon as Su He came out, he saw dense crowds by the sea. "Want to go to the beach?" Lu Li asked proactively.

"I want to go to the desert to see." Su He said.He saw the sea all the way on the Iris, but he was more interested in the desert.

Lu Li smiled and followed Su He towards the desert.Su He bent down and squeezed a handful of sand, feeling that it was no different from the deserts on Earth.Although he has been living in a small town and has never been to the sea or the desert, he has watched a lot on TV. "Are all other places also deserts?"

"Not sure yet." Lu Li looked into the depths of the desert, "The size of this planet is not small, and it will take some time to complete the survey. However, judging from the currently measured data on the planet's gravity, air pressure, and atmospheric environment, this planet is For a standard habitable planet, deserts are only part of the natural formation. Mountains, plains, hills and more life forms should not have been discovered yet.”

Su He's heart moved, "Will there be intelligent creatures?"

Lu Li said frankly: "The possibility is very small." Seeing that Su He didn't understand, he explained: "The Federation has entered the universe for thousands of years, and has discovered or transformed nearly 1000 habitable stars. There are many life forms on these planets. But the biological federation that produces intelligence and forms civilization has never been encountered. All the intelligent civilizations we have come into contact with now come from other galaxies, such as the treants of the galaxy." He continued: "The universe is vast, and the life forms in it are all kinds of strange. But the formation of life is only evolution The first step is to open up wisdom and create civilization to be called an intelligent race."

"Does it have a mind of its own?"

Lu Li smiled and said, "It can't be such a simple judgment."

Su He thought for a while, and stretched out his spiritual tentacles, centered on him, and spread around like a spider web.In his spiritual world, the spot of light representing Lu Li was as warm and bright as ever.The tentacles of the spirit surpassed Lu Li and protruded towards the depths of the desert. 10 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters...Su He was stunned suddenly, his spirit body emerged, and he happily lay on top of Su He's head, as if Su He was holding two small leaves on his head.

Lu Li noticed his expression, "What's wrong?"

"Energy stone." Su He pulled Lu Li and ran towards the place he just discovered, "Hurry up, I can feel the fluctuation of energy."

The two quickly reached the place Su He had mentioned. Su He knelt down and was about to dig, but Lu Li stopped him. "I come."

Su He stared at Lu Li's movements with burning eyes, imagining that a huge energy stone mine would be exposed under the sand.Then he will be rich.Under Su He's eager eyes, Lu Li finally dug out the energy fluctuation that Su He sensed.The good news is that the quality of the energy stone he dug out is quite good, it is a pure A-level standard energy stone.The bad news is that the energy stone is only the size of a fist, and there is nothing else around.

Su He: "..."

Lu Li chuckled and comforted Su He, "Although one is a bit small, it proves that this planet has energy stones. We also have hope of leaving."

Su He's dream of getting rich was shattered, and he nodded slightly.

In the distance, Shen Shen beckoned them to go back for dinner, and Su He followed Lu Li back.As soon as the two left, more than a dozen green plants protruded from the place where they had just stood.At the root of the plant, the gray lifeless rock suddenly split from it, revealing a mouth full of interlaced and sharp teeth.
