His Majesty the Demon King of Justice

There are various imaginations about monsters on the earth, such as the resurrection of dinosaurs, alien monsters, Zerg, various monsters in Shan Hai Jing, aliens, Cthulhu, legendary monsters with special characteristics in various places, etc., to a certain extent. It is said that this is a kind of ignorance unique to human beings. When human beings face unknown fears, they will always concretize all kinds of monsters in their minds. Fearing the depths of the sea, great white sharks, sea monsters, giant octopus... and so on.

Naturally, there is a similar culture on the Blue Star. Vampire zombies and undead ghosts are also very popular, and they are also similar to the people on Earth: in the fearful imagination of the Blue Star people, those terrible monsters either have humanoid forms, Or something resembling some repulsive and repulsive biological form they've seen in their lives.

And now... the monsters that appeared at the front of the starship's orbit and are attacking space fighters are undoubtedly in line with or even beyond the fear of human beings: they have bony spur wings on their backs, six pairs of symmetrical vertical pupils on their heads, and their torso is similar to that of tigers and wolves. The beast is tearing off the extreme wings of the space fighter in one bite; a flying snake with a snake-like body, but it is many times thicker, and its mouth is bigger than a triangular head is entangled in the fighter body; Grown-up, bloated humanoid monsters with shabby hands and feet clung to one fighter plane and attacked the other.

This kind of monster battle beyond the scope of human understanding made the left and right co-pilots on the bridge stunned, and the commander who came over after hearing the news was also shocked--war has been turned into a beyond-visual-range fire confrontation for many years. Going crazy or taking "drugs", everyone in Angel Company hasn't seen hand-to-hand combat in places other than film and television works and game CG for a long time... let alone this kind of exciting monster hand-to-hand combat .

"Turn on the full-automatic attack mode of the fighter plane immediately!" After all, Chief Charles was relatively old, and after a long pause, he finally realized that he was not watching a holographic monster movie, and hurriedly said, "Maximum firepower!"

The left co-driver, completely out of his mind, operated mechanically. On the circular screen, the space fighters that were pressed and disassembled showed their hidden muzzles one after another. For a while, lasers and electric lights flickered, and the closest to the image capture device One of the monsters was blown off half of its body in an instant.

"It can attack!" Commander Shire immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it's not those incomprehensible monsters in movies and TV dramas..."

This idea only existed in his mind for two seconds. In the blink of an eye, the monster that had been blown off at least one-third of its body abandoned the broken flesh of half of its body and turned into a shrunken version of the little monster, and flexibly Climb onto a monster with bony spur wings...

There are twelve space fighters in a crew, and two of them were dismantled by these monsters before Chief Shire ordered the automatic fire to be turned on. After the automatic fire was turned on, those monsters that seemed to be unable to fly climbed to the place where they could fly The monster, like a samurai driving a chariot, continued to besiege the remaining fighters, and destroyed another one in a few tens of seconds—the speed of space fighters in the universe is already very fast. These monsters It's actually faster than a fighter plane!

"Release all crews!!" Commander Charles shouted.

"My God, look!" Before the left co-pilot had time to make an operation, the right co-pilot suddenly let out a horrified cry, and quickly switched the images on the circular screen, only to see someone far away from the star on the other side. Behind the asteroid in the orbit of the ship, a mass of monsters with strange shapes flew out...

"Activate the defense tower! Accelerate with the active power and rush over!" Chief Charles glanced at the group of monsters and felt his scalp tingling. He thought that the size of the monsters attacking the space fighters was already amazing. Few of them are as big as the spaceships of interstellar pirates—however, there is no air resistance in the space environment, and these monsters of amazing size are extremely fast!The normal operating speed of the huge starship is only one-twentieth of that of a space fighter, and Captain Shire dare not delay at this time.

"Sir, do you want to take back the fighter plane?" The left co-driver asked hastily.

"It's too late!" Chief Shire gritted his teeth, "Activate the mothership's No. [-] laser cannon, and blast away the unrecovered fighters and those monsters!"

The left co-pilot froze, and his heart was filled with anger... If he releases all the crews and activates all the defense towers of the mothership, he doesn't think that these monsters that can be bombarded are invincible, but Chief Shire is unwilling to take risks, the most priority choice Actually left the battlefield? !The crew is transferred by him. If the company loses a crew, it will not look for the captain who gave the order to abandon it if it wants to settle accounts!

But the left co-pilot has no way to question the captain's command at this time. Even if he protests, it must be after the incident. No matter how annoyed he is, he has nothing to do, so he can only press the zero laser cannon start button angrily.

The No. 16 laser cannon is the main naval gun on the starship. Its power can smash an asteroid the size of an orbiting satellite within three rounds. The disadvantage is that it takes a long time to start and consumes a lot of energy. It takes about [-] seconds for the muzzle to fall out of the concealed window, until the charging of the gun body base is completed, and the design parameters are automatically calibrated. When the left co-pilot stared at the progress of the No. Appeared suddenly... Those monsters who entangled the space fighter suddenly turned around and left the battle zone as if they had received some signal!

"?!" The left co-driver stared in horror at the group of monsters fleeing in all directions, and then at the activation progress of the No. [-] laser cannon, which was counting down to the last second. white light...

Space fighters are indeed quite high-end escort fighters, but it is not exaggerated to the extent that each aircraft will be equipped with an intelligent ia. According to the program code, the functions of automatically tracking hostile targets and automatically avoiding conventional artillery shells are available, but not yet. It is so flexible that it can drag the enemy into a fight, and there is no way to dodge the fire-covered laser cannon from its own "friendly army"...

"Ahhhh!" The left co-driver held his hair in both hands and screamed, "...Ahhhhh!" The first half of the scream was the heartbroken combat crew, and the second half was the horror of those monsters who fled in all directions and turned back No, it still flew directly towards the mothership.

Commander Shire also wanted to let out a few screams to vent his emotions. The intention of these monsters to avoid the main ship's cannon was too obvious, and he had to have a terrible thought in his mind: "Are these monsters intelligent?"

"Hurry up and accelerate!" Chief Shire urged with sweat on his forehead.

"Sir, the safety port of the power room has not passed through—" the right co-driver turned his head with sweat on his forehead.

In order to prevent the hired captain from suddenly being mentally disabled during the long interstellar voyage and taking advantage of his authority to run away with the starship, the starship's route is not allowed to be modified after entering the program before departure. When stopping or temporarily docking on a certain planet, the command issued by the bridge must be confirmed by the manual program in the main power room—that is, the manual insurance placed on the starship by the Angel Company to prevent the captain from being mentally disabled.

As for why it is so troublesome to arrange manpower instead of directly handing it over to ia, it is because in the history of Angail's development, there have been captains who hired hackers to destroy starship ia and brought a starship whose cost was close to the company's total quarterly revenue. The miserable experience of being a pirate while running away...

"What's going on?!" Chief Shire was so angry that the director who controlled the port authority of the main power room would not leave his post again, would he?

"I'm connecting to the intranet—" the right co-driver operated profusely, connected the small 3D screen on his console to the monitoring network, and shared the picture of the main power room. Operations are not allowed, because the executive director of the ship hates being disturbed by others, but right now he really can't control so much.

It has to be said that the right co-pilot is a very professional starship astronaut. He is very dedicated and responsible enough for the captain and the starship, so he was caught off guard and saw something more serious than the monster invasion in space. Horror picture...

The very professional right co-pilot screamed fiercely, jumped up from his seat as if his butt was burned, and looked at Xia with a dazed, terrified, and expressionless face. Captain Er, pointing at the surveillance image shared on the 3D screen while stretching out his hand tremblingly; it is rare for him to lose his composure, and the angry Commander Charles did not lose his temper, he stepped forward and looked at the right co-pilot's " The console—and then Commander Shire almost passed out.

The main power room must be supervised by people who are assured by the company. Such people are often in high positions, so the command port|intersection area of ​​the main power room is not installed at the bottom of the starship, but connected to the environment. It is much better The living area and installations are in a rather elegant suite; and now, through the surveillance network camera, Commander Shire can see the main engine room, which is larger than his captain’s cabin, and in the director’s suite, the person who owns a lot of shares, The director with deep experience in the company is lying on the big bed, his head has been hit by something, and the shape above the neck can no longer be seen. The whole big bed, no, the whole room is blood red...

It was as if a bolt from the blue had hit Chief Shire's head. Although it was inappropriate, the first thought that popped up in Chief Shire's mind was: How should he explain to the company how the executive director died?

Soon Chief Shire woke up from the excessive shock, rushed to the console of the right co-driver in two steps, and connected to other monitoring heads in the living area... Sure enough, when you think things are bad enough, there will always be There is a worse follow-up waiting for you. From the fast-cutting shots, Commander Shire sees either a blood-stained corridor or a room filled with "messy" mutilated corpses...

After switching more than a dozen shots, Chief Shire discovered the culprit who caused the massacre in the living area, and this culprit caused Chief Shire to lose all fighting spirit at once: In the living area hall, a visually measured length of about three meters, long The giant lizard-like monster with seven tails, each as thick as a whip used by a giant, is chasing and killing the remaining inspectors. Burst like a watermelon, or snap off like a fragile twig...

Commander Shire's hands began to tremble. He no longer cared about the large group of monsters besieging the starship in space. He desperately controlled his fear and switched the monitoring network in other areas inside the starship. He found that not only It is the living area, and the training area was also bloodbathed by several monsters, and even the deserted military area saw corpses.

There were less than 60 crew members on board. After such a quick scan, Commander Shire saw at least [-] to [-] corpses. The fear and despair in his heart can be imagined. Fortunately, the number of these invading monsters is not as many as outside, and the situation has not yet In desperation, Commander Charles hurriedly walked to the main console, which he seldom directly operated, entered identity authentication, and directly used the captain's authority to isolate several areas that had invaded the hardest-hit area. These isolated areas released a large amount of highly toxic gas.

Chief Shire dare not expect that the highly poisonous gas used to prevent pirates from invading will be useful to those monsters, but at least it can make death less painful for those who have not died in the isolation area... and it can also have an effect on monsters by the way Just the best.

"Sir..." The right co-pilot with a pale face saw the captain's operation, and his expression became more like that of a dead person.

Commander Shire was expressionless, and after releasing the poison gas, he used his authority to cancel everyone's access authority, which was tantamount to the death penalty for all those who had not yet escaped from the quarantine area.These monsters showed the awareness of avoiding shelling when attacking fighter planes, maybe they were intelligent, maybe they knew how to use the dead man's pass to move inside the ship, Commander Shire couldn't take the risk.

Without looking back, Commander Shire, who was sitting on the captain's chair, looked up at the monsters surrounding the starship on the circular screen, gritted his teeth and said, "We can't lose to a group of monsters!"

Commander Shire served as an admiral of the empire for 30 years, and was retired after reaching the age because he was not from a wealthy family. He stayed away from the center of power. People with good surnames will not retire until they get tired of themselves. Mr. Hall does not have this privilege.

Older people inevitably fear death, and Chief Shire, who is over 80 years old, is also unavoidable. Under the temptation of replacing his young body, he joined the colonial department of Angel Corporation.The current Commander Shire has a vigorous young body. Although he can only be a civil aviation captain in terms of power, he has not forgotten his fighting skills. He personally observed the upper limit of the attack power of these monsters and confirmed these. The monster's destructive power to the aviation metal shell of the starship is not as powerful as technological weapons, and it is too flexible to be effectively killed by shelling. After Captain Charles immediately changed his tactics: turn off the high-energy-consuming defensive turrets, and open local The hull shield released three groups of space fighters to attack these monsters of unknown origin in a semi-automatic and semi-operated manner!

The automatic attack mode is not as flexible as the manual operation, but the human reaction is not as fast as the reaction speed of the program. It can be regarded as each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In addition, the crew members of the Angel Company have added too many nepotism personnel, The number of people who can "operate" combat aircraft is limited, and the combat effectiveness of these fighter aircraft has not been able to be effectively utilized.

Captain Shire, who took the field in person, quickly opened the eyes of the right co-pilot and the left co-pilot of the long-term "operating" combat crew. The monsters that are too flexible can rely on the fuselage to carry firepower combined attack to cause effective damage to these monsters. After a few rounds of devious strafing, they successfully use the firepower limit to aggravate the laser cannon bombardment and take a flying monster together. The monsters on its back blasted into cosmic dust.

Seeing hope, the right co-pilot returned to his seat and informed the entire ship of the crisis facing the starship, keeping the survivors calm and staying away from the quarantine area; the left co-pilot stopped yelling and "operated" the main ship. The movable turret cooperates with Captain Charles to fight back against the monsters. Although the naval guns with obvious attack intentions are easily avoided by monsters, they can at least play a role in suppressing firepower.

It was only after the left co-pilot participated in the attack that he belatedly realized that these monsters had a very high IQ—it was no accident that they avoided the No. [-] laser cannon before, these monsters really had a high awareness of avoiding artillery fire And recognize the muzzle on the starship, roughly predict the attack trajectory of the laser cannon, and calculate the advance to avoid it; what is even more frightening is that these monsters still communicate with each other even though the sound cannot be transmitted through the air in the vacuum environment of space. Channel, after several rounds of fighting with the fighter group, these monsters were able to cooperate with each other in attack, and destroyed another fighter under the suppression of crossfire!

The left co-pilot, who watched the fighter jets being destroyed, broke out in cold sweat again. There were only five crews on the starship, and one crew had been lost before, and now every one destroyed was one less.The starship uses the star source mined from the core of the planet, which has the property of self-regeneration. It is not afraid of energy depletion, but energy regeneration also takes time. If the fighter is exhausted, the star source regeneration of the starship itself cannot keep up The consumption of the hull shield... Then he himself will become cosmic dust.

"Fortunately, it's only half a star away from the colony, and it's time to hide in the atmosphere... Will these monsters be affected by gravity when they follow the atmosphere? Then maybe the crisis will be resolved." The left co-pilot comforted himself, and subconsciously Suppressing the gap with naval guns, he glanced at the colonial star as the background of the battlefield, which was close in front of him. At this moment, he had never felt that the colonial star was so beautiful——

"Huh?" The left co-pilot suspected that his eyes were dazzled, so he quickly raised his hand to wipe off the sweat that was dripping from his forehead that obstructed his vision, and then blinked hard before opening his eyes.

He found that he was not dazzled, and the two things that should not have appeared in this place were still there.

The left co-pilot opened his mouth wide, and hastily separated his hands to zoom in on that part of the screen...

Astronauts have their own peripheral image capture device lenses that they are accustomed to. The peripheral device lens of the left co-pilot is on the top of the bridge directly above the starship. This angle can see a more complete cosmic starry sky, giving people a sense of looking down; The picture under the high-power lens is very clear, and it can be seen more clearly after zooming in. Beyond the monsters that obscured the vision and the space fighters that kept firing laser cannons, the left co-pilot saw clearly and plainly that there were two humans... At least people who looked human on the outside, wearing outdated, heavy and clumsy spacesuits, but did not see any pocket-sized spaceships, just drifted slowly from the direction of the colony.

"Looking closer, it's bigger. This spaceship must be two or three times the size of an aircraft carrier. How did such a large thing lift off from the ground?" Wang Lin raised his hand to greet Xie Sanyuan with a look of surprise, and said After it was over, he realized that let alone he was wearing a fully isolated space suit. There is no air in space, and sound cannot be transmitted at all. He quickly contacted Xie Sanyuan with his external mental strength, and repeated the above words again.

Xie Sanyuan, however, had an unrequited expression on his face: "How long are we going to float? It's been more than ten hours...I want to go to the bathroom."

In the universe, it is more difficult to find small quantum satellites, but it is not difficult to find large starships with fixed origins. Astronomers observed this "unidentified flight" sixteen hours before the starship of Angel Company discovered the quantum satellite. After two hours of preparation, Wang Lin and Xie Sanyuan, who claimed to be immortal in the universe, were sent to heaven...

But... After all, the Huaxia people haven't come up with a reliable aviation technology tree, and the artificial satellite target is too big to be shot down on the spot, so the rockets used to send them to the sky can only be "one-time" rockets... In other words In other words, after leaving the outer atmosphere, the only driving force for the two of them is "floating".
