Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

However, he didn't hear an answer. He turned to look at Lian Ting, only to see that the other party lowered his head and was projected from a holographic screen on the terminal. . There are a few lines of writing on it, but it seems that because of the encrypted mode, only a string of garbled characters can be seen in the direction of Tang Chu.

"What's wrong? Who sent it?"

Lian Ting turned the terminal in the direction of Tang Chu, and said, "It's the task code of the Vice Minister of the Military Department."

Only then did Tang Chu discover that the string on the holographic screen was not encrypted text, but a string of gibberish characters.

Tang Chu was confused: "The task...is this something that I don't understand?"

Lian Ting took out a stack of documents from the space button, one of which was an expeditionary regiment attribute document engraved on a translucent metal material.Lian Ting authenticated the fingerprint unlock on the property file, and then entered the garbled characters received in the terminal.

While typing, Lian Ting said: "Minister Tang Yu gave us a document before, and I have read it. The other missions of the expeditionary legion that he can know include clearing the territory belonging to the empire, but there are no imperial citizens, and it is still being used by the original creatures. Occupied planets. There are also interstellar pirates who cleared all places and operating routes, and captured smugglers from marginal planets.”

Tang Chu's focus was on the first item: "Pay? Since there are original creatures, wouldn't the planet originally belong to them? The empire really planned well, robbing people's homes, and driving the owner out."

Lian Ting didn't reply, and when Tang Chu looked over, Lian Ting handed him the task explanation.

——Their first task is to collect the original creatures.

It seems that because the Legion of Glory is weak, the deputy minister specially assigned them a relatively simple task.Red Star, this is a planet they are fairly familiar with, not so unknown, and it has already been cleared.

But according to the reaction of the leading officer in the previous military academy exercise, in fact, Red Star still has some original creatures that have not been cleared.The object of the task was not explained, only that it was an unknowable form that could trigger a mental riot.

Tang Chu and Lian Ting roughly guessed that the objects mentioned in it were the group of little black balls they met earlier.

"...How to clear the payment?" Tang Chu didn't continue to look at the specific requirements of the task.

Lian Ting read in a low voice: "All of them will be killed."

The red star is an edge star, and the environmental conditions are average. There are insects and beasts that cannot be cleaned up, and there is no residence permission for citizens.

Of course, earlier, the original creatures on the red star had been cleared up long ago, but the survivability of the insect beasts was much stronger than that of the original creatures. After cleaning up some of them, the insect beasts took over the red star instead. . Red Star is considered barren, and there is no need to pacify it, so it has been delayed until now.

As a result, the last military academy exercise found the original creature lingering on its last breath.It was the dregs left over from the failure to clean up last time. The government was unwilling to compromise like this, and had to get Red Star in their hands early.

The warship stopped at a plain in Hongxing, and Yu Yue covered the warship with an invisibility device.A small group of people stayed at the warship and was responsible for rectifying the appearance of the warship; it would be foolish for them to fly a warship with the logo of the military department into outer space.

"Are the armor and weapons equipped?"

"General, everything is ready!"

Lian Ting nodded, quickly calculated with his fingers on his wrist, and within a short while he came up with a coordinate:

"37x, 123.5y, 48z. Replace the life sign detector, leaving only Tang Chu to carry one. The task object cannot detect the life value, and the detector only detects whether there are insects or beasts."

Tang Chu said: "About the place where the number of insects and beasts is the largest, the group of small black balls are also there."

Others heard the conversation between the two, and were a little confused.

Tang Chu explained to everyone what he and Lian Ting had encountered in the drills in the military academy before. Irus was a little excited when he heard Tang Chu said that there were many insect eggs in the dwelling place of the black ball-like creature. said to Monley:

"Boss, you can always show your talents this time, right?"

Meng Li was obviously a little moved, presumably because he followed Lian Ting and couldn't enjoy the last serious battle, and used all his wealth to fight the enemy.

Tang Chu asked, "How do you show off your skills?"

Lian Ting answered for him: "Mengli has the ability to summon and control larvae."

Tang Chu was full of surprise.

Meng Li waved his hand modestly, "It's not something to be proud of. They all know that the reason why I am like this is because I am a mutant with a worm gene."

Yu Yue said: "Does it feel powerful? Boss, he joined the Interstellar Pirates at the beginning because his identity as a mutant was not tolerated by others. Those nobles also said that mutants are unknown, and they will be listed as labor servitude if they find out." slave."

Tang Chu sneered and said: "What's unknown, I think those nobles are worried about the ability of natural mutations and human mutations, so they came up with this strategy."

"In short, let's find those original creatures first."

The Red Star environment is barren, the land is red, the mountains and rocks are dilapidated, there are no plants in sight, and there are no other brighter colors.

In short, from this point of view, it seems that Red Star has no need to attract the royal family and nobles of the empire to forcefully demand it back. It has no resources and a good environment, and it is far away from the imperial capital, so it is inconvenient to directly govern it.It’s just probably because of arrogance, and it also means that the region must be "for my race". Since the empire discovered the Huiguang Starfield very proudly earlier, and classified it as an empire, it does not allow people from different races to belong to the same empire. Fight for power.

As Tang Chu was on his way, he couldn't help but think of this Huiguang Starfield.Since the people of Star Tiya chose this place earlier, the living environment must be excellent, and there must be many lives in it.However, what he can hear and know now is only human beings.Whether it is from the conversations and discussions of the people of the empire, or the historical data on the star network, there is no mention of alien races that can live in peace with others. ——Except for the heretics being crusaded and the invading creatures to be eliminated.

Perhaps, a "heretic" and an "aggressive creature" are enough to summarize all the native species on so many planets in the Huiguang Starfield except humans.

It is not difficult to find the place where Tang Chu and Lian Ting encountered those black ball-like creatures before. The deep ditch like a moat on the ground still exists, like the mouth of an animal that devours people, a black hole that does not see light.Tang Chu lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked down a few times, then asked Lian Ting:

"Do you want to go straight down?"

Lian Ting said: "Wait first."

After speaking, Lian Ting led the investigative team to investigate around.Tang Chu sat down cross-legged next to the crack, and stretched down with his mental strength to test.

On the one hand, Lian Ting found a sense of disobedience since he came here, and a group of people searched, and found some man-made traces.Lian Ting groped and found a pair of fuzzy footprints, and reconstructed them with a machine.

"These feet are wearing shoes!...It seems that they are really human?" Yu Yue saw the result of Lian Ting's restoration.

Zhu Dicang whispered beside him: "But...the footprints don't mean anything, right? Red Star is not restricted from entering, and it's normal for someone to come up."

Lian Ting shook his head, before he could speak, Irus whispered in the communication:

"General, here!"

Several people looked towards the direction of Irus, and saw a small spaceship emerging from nothing in front of a rock not far away, flickering and showing its original shape.Iris continued:

"General, we have broken the cloaking device of this spaceship."

Lian Ting said in a deep voice, "Understood." He looked at the people next to him, and pointed to the recovered traces:

"Not only footprints, but also traces of tail dragging."

"The traces were left a few days ago. The spaceship is still there, but the people haven't left."

"There are outsiders here."

At this time Tang Chu walked behind Lian Ting and said:

"The situation below is similar to when we left before...Do you want to go down?"

Lian Ting decided: "Go down."

There are still high and towering stone walls on both sides, which are extremely flat, and there are no insect ovaries that have been seen before.When Tang Chu was in mid-air, he used his mental power to cover the whole area, and found a place where his mental power was slowly being consumed, and the group of people went in that direction.

The entire crack in the ground was very quiet, only the sound of a group of them walking.There is wind around, spreading in along the cracks in the ground, making a regular "whooping" sound.

No one spoke, and the team lined up neatly.Tang Chu walked beside Lianting, always on guard.

…For some reason, I always feel that this time, the place I entered is very different from the last time I entered, but it is clearly the same place.It seemed that behind something unknown, something was silently watching them.

When passing a sunken mountain wall after all, Tang Chu called to stop.He walked in front, and the spiritual power he had accumulated for a long time was like a sharp sword, heading towards the mountain wall at once.With a sound that seemed to be collapsing, the illusion of the mountain wall collapsed, and what appeared in front of them was a huge black cave.

Tang Chu and Lian Ting looked at each other, and Lian Ting understood that the wood-type supernatural power exuding green light had accumulated in the palm of his hand.Tang Chu clasped Lian Ting's ten fingers with one hand, and Lian Ting's wood-type abilities were slowly transmitted to Tang Chu along the junction of his hands.

Lian Ting made a gesture, ten people hid the guards outside, and the rest were divided into two teams, he and Tang Chu went in first.

Tang Chu and Lian Ting had already entered the cave, and according to what Tang Chu said, Irus searched for a long time on the nearby mountain wall, but still failed to find the spectacular insect eggs that he hoped for.He scratched his beard, and felt itchy for some reason, as if the air had become moist.So Irus could only take off the decorative beard, put it away carefully, and turned back to Mengli and said:

"Boss, I forgot to ask. You have been with insects for so long before, have you ever seen insect eggs? Do they really have eyes on their backs?"
