Chapter 414: The Disturbed Su Xia
It was another restless night, with the cold wind howling and the situation tense.
That night, many people looked up at the deep night sky.
In the oasis camp, Hal looked up at the starry sky with mixed emotions. His body turned into a flashing red dot, and he couldn't help but think of the star field where he was born.
As an intelligent system of an interstellar battleship, he actually felt a little homesick at this moment.
There are so many twinkling stars in the sky, and I don’t know which one belongs to the Seventh Empire.
"Hey, Captain, where have you been these days?" Hal couldn't help but sigh.
He had only been in contact with Su Xia for a short time, but he knew what kind of person Su Xia was.
On this planet, Su Xia is probably one of the people who most wants to enter the starry sky, and is also the most perfect candidate for captain.
" Are you out there looking for the rest of the wreckage?"
A cold night breeze blew through Hal's virtual body, making him feel more melancholy.
He heard from Cheng Ping'an from the Beifeng Organization that Su Xia had been at the old camp recently, researching something and never leaving the warehouse all day.
Cheng Ping'an guessed that Su Xia might be using psychic potions in the warehouse.
As we all know, psychic potions are very harmful to the body. Every time they are used, one will fall into strange and inexplicable hallucinations, and some people may not wake up for several days.
If Su Xia had enough psychic potions in stock and used them in batches, sleeping for a few days each time, it would be possible that the total time would be several months.
"Haha, don't worry." Lan Guang laughed heartily, "The commander must be improving his strength. When he appears in front of us next time, he may have become a level 5 creature!"
“Foolish!”
Hal glanced at him and said calmly, "So what if he's a level 5 creature? So what if he's level 6? Level 7 isn't that great either! An individual's strength can never be compared to that of a group. Even if the captain is just an ordinary person, as long as he has a huge team, he can still occupy a place in the starry sky!"
"You are wrong." Lan Guang said with a smile: "This is Blue Star, not your starry sky. Personal strength is very important."
"This planet is just a part of the Captain's life. His future lies in the starry sky!"
“Yes, yes. We have different ideas. I won’t argue with you, little guy.” Lan Guang smiled and sat on the grass. He also raised his head and looked at the brilliant night sky above his head.
After looking for a while, Lan Guang shook his head. The starry sky was too far away, out of reach, and so far away that it was unimaginable.
That is the path for people with great ambitions, not suitable for people like him.
He sighed leisurely and turned his gaze to the camp with bright lights not far away.
Lan Guang does not have such big ideals. His biggest wish in life is to see the end of the war before he dies and witness the arrival of a new era.
Compared with exploring the starry sky, his ideal is actually very small.
But for someone like him, this seemingly trivial ideal may not be realized in his lifetime.
In fact, before the arrival of the undead, many people were already tired of the long resistance with no hope in sight.
The same thing happened to Lan Guang at that time. He became more and more exhausted in the day-to-day battles. He often saw his own end in nightmares - dying in a battle and falling in a pool of blood and mud with regret.
But later, the coming of the undead and the sudden rise of Commander Beifeng gave Blue Light hope again.
"The commander's arrival is really our luck." Lan Guang's eyes moved slowly, and in the huge camp, he saw the base belonging to the North Wind Organization.
He stared at him for a moment, looking somewhat melancholy, then sighed again and whispered to himself: "It's just... he's not the same as before."
Lan Guang and Bei Feng have known each other for a long time. Although they had not met often before, they could barely be called old friends.
The experiences he had in recent times left him a little dazed.
Sometimes, he would have a very strange feeling, so strange that he didn't know how to describe it... This old friend seemed to no longer be the same person as before.
He couldn't tell what was strange. The person was still the same person, even the tone and expression were similar to before, but he always felt something was different.
Suddenly, Hal on the side said, "So what if he's not that person?"
As a mechanical life form from the starry sky, Hal has his own pride. He is rather indifferent most of the time and rarely takes the initiative to speak to the members of the Oasis Camp.
But that night, he actually took the initiative to speak to Lan Guang.
He knew Su Xia very well and naturally knew Su Xia's true identity.
Hal said calmly: "What determines a person is not his appearance, words or even what you call his soul, but his actions. What he has done can represent everything about him!"
Lan Guang smiled silently. He didn't expect that the little robot would say this to him.
He shook his head and asked with a smile: "Hal, why do you insist on recognizing the commander as the captain?"
"He has something that none of you have," Hal replied.
"Qualified?"
"no."
"What is that?"
"I won't tell you."
“…”
While the two were chatting, a tent not far away was suddenly opened, and a tired-looking man walked out. It was Zhang Fang, who had been studying data on the spacecraft wreckage recently.
Zhang Fang stood at the door of the tent, stretched, and rubbed his two dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were full of fine bloodshot.
It can be seen that he is quite tired now.
But his spirits were still high, just like when he first discovered this alien wreckage. He had been living outside the rift during this period and slept less than four hours a day.
Even for psychic creatures, their bodies cannot withstand such long-term damage.
"If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening!"
Zhang Fang looked excited and clenched his fists tightly, which showed that he had gained a lot during this period of time.
"With this information, give me another twenty years... no, just ten years. If there are enough resources, I will definitely be able to lead the human race out of this planet!"
Hearing this, Lan Guang smiled and said, "Master Zhang, you should rest more. Looking at your physical condition, you may not be able to survive even ten months, let alone ten years."
"I am already a fourth-level psychic creature. I recently found an opportunity to absorb a lot of titanium particles. My body is much stronger than that of an ordinary person. I will definitely be able to last for ten years!"
Zhang Fang was very confident. With a tired smile on his face, he walked towards the location of the blue light.
During this period, not only him, but other members of Dragon City have also gained a lot.
After getting Hal's permission, they obtained a large amount of information, which covered the technological development, humanistic concepts, social conditions, etc. of many civilizations in the starry sky. It was so vast that it was difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
These are the real core information, and even the mechanical clan has never obtained the complete information.
Among these materials, there is even relevant .
"I seem to be able to see the day when the human race will counterattack."
With a smile on his face, Zhang Fang walked to the grass next to Lan Guang and sat down.
"I'm still young and have plenty of time. I'm sure it will come true in my lifetime."
"Master Zhang, let's not talk about things that are too far away. Has the academy made a decision recently?" Lan Guang asked.
"Still no. The dean and the research institute are still arguing about it." Zhang Fang smiled bitterly. What they were arguing about was, of course, whether to wake up the two alien engineers who were sleeping in the spacecraft.
Until now, the two sides have not reached a conclusion.
Recently, some rumors have been circulating in the camp. Some people say that Commander Beifeng left because he was too lazy to listen to their quarrels and went to the old camp to find some quiet time.
The quarrels between the two families made the Oasis Camp a little more lively than before.
During this period, the two outsiders, Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng, were also integrated into the camp. Two days ago, they joined the camp as fourth-level creatures and even held a nominal position in the camp's food supply department.
During this period, the two have been training in the virtual system.
Su Xia had promised personally that whoever could first obtain seven "S"-level system evaluations would be able to obtain the second reward in the prize cabin before him.
That is a reward from alien creatures, and it must be worth a lot.
But their simulation methods are different from Su Xia's.
The two of them could not adapt to the cruelty of the Hell Battlefield on the Heavenly Star. After trying several times, they decided to start from a simple battlefield, adapt to the difficulty little by little, and finally challenge Hell.
In the past few days, Sun Lang's progress has been quite fast and he has entered the Hell Battlefield to challenge again.
"Haha, if the Commander doesn't come back, the second prize will be mine!" Sun Lang sat on the grass nearby and laughed strangely, "I'm excited just thinking about snatching something from the Commander!"
"Don't be ridiculous. You only got an 'S'. The rest were all rated below 'C'!" Chang Rufeng hit him harshly.
"Brother Chang, everything is difficult at the beginning!"
Sun Lang's eyes sparkled. He rubbed his hands around the fire on the grass and said with a strange smile, "After the first time, the next few times will become easier and easier!"
"Oh……"
Chang Rufeng looked calm and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
He knew very well that each stage of the Hell Battlefield had different levels of difficulty, and the first four "S" evaluations were only the first stage.
To get seven "S", you must pass the second stage perfectly, a stage that even Su Xia has never attempted.
Speaking of which, during this period, after Su Xia left, only Sun Lang got an "S" rating.
Among the rest, Chang Rufeng was the closest, receiving an "A+" rating, with only half an hour left.
As for the old dean of Longcheng and his colleagues, they have been busy with research and debate and have no time to experience the simulation training system.
"Eh, that's weird."
Chang Rufeng suddenly raised his head, looked at a few tents not far away, and said, "Why didn't I hear the sound of Longcheng College and the Research Institute arguing today? Did the two sides communicate well?"
"Yeah, I was wondering what was wrong!" Sun Lang also reacted. The night was too quiet.
The two turned their heads and looked at Zhang Fang not far away with puzzled expressions.
But Zhang Fang was also a little confused. He touched his head and said, "There really is no quarrel. It should be the halftime break."
"Mr. Zhang, do you have intermissions during fights in Longcheng?" Chang Rufeng looked strange.
"You two will get used to it." Zhang Fang was a little embarrassed. "In Dragon City, don't feel weird about anything that happens."
"That's true. After all, it's the largest gathering place for humans on this continent."
The two nodded. With so many people around, anything could happen.
"Maybe there's something else. I'll go over and take a look." Zhang Fang smiled apologetically at the few people, then stood up, left the area, and hurried to the tents not far away.
Logically, it wasn't time for halftime yet, but it became strangely quiet.
Zhang Fang felt a little worried, vaguely feeling that something big might have happened.
After entering the tent in the center, Zhang Fang's heart sank. He found that everyone in the tent looked very solemn and the atmosphere was not right. He looked at the old dean, walked over and asked in a low voice: "Dean, what happened?"
The old dean looked heavy-hearted. He shook his head slightly and said nothing. He just handed a note to Zhang Fang.
On the note was a brief message from Longcheng.
Zhang Fang took the note, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed.
[Something has happened in Dragon City, the city lord is seriously injured, return quickly! ]
The city lord is seriously injured?
When Zhang Fang saw these four words, his breath was held.
He held the note tightly, feeling very uneasy, and read it over and over again to make sure he had read it correctly.
"The city lord..."
Zhang Fang pressed his chest hard and took a deep breath.
With the city lord's strength, he was actually seriously injured. The chaos behind this can no longer be described by the four words "something has changed in Dragon City"!
There have always been rumors in the outside world that the Lord of Dragon City is a powerful level five creature, otherwise he would not be able to suppress the power of the other two veins of Dragon City.
But only a very few people know about this. Even Zhang Fang only learned from the old dean in recent days that the city lord is actually a level six creature, the most powerful human creature in the entire southwest.
Even he was seriously injured. Zhang Fang didn’t dare to think about what would happen to the other people in Longcheng?
“Dean…”
He suppressed his anxiety and handed the note back, his arms trembling slightly.
The old dean glanced at him, sighed softly, and whispered, "Don't worry, Longcheng is not in chaos. The reason why City Lord Su was injured was because he encountered a sudden attack. In order to protect his entourage, he forcibly blocked the enemy's first attack."
"How could the city lord be attacked inside Longcheng?" Zhang Fang still found it hard to believe.
“It’s something that’s weighing on my mind.”
The old dean shook his head slightly: "I'm going back, you stay here."
"Dean, I'll go back with you."
"No, I can just go back with your teacher. You have a good relationship with Bei Feng, so you should communicate with him more in the future. I always feel that he has a similar temperament to City Lord Su. He may be the hope for the future of the human race."
The old dean felt a little regretful. He had wanted to invite Su Xia to go to Longcheng together, but now it was too late.
The city lord was attacked, he must rush back to take charge as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will be unpredictable.
…
In the southern waters, beneath the sea surface, near the shipwreck.
As time passed, the entire shipwreck had been explored almost completely, and most of the valuable items on it had been brought back to the submarine.
In Su Xia's storage space, boxes of shining gold coins were piled up like mountains.
From today on, he has completely gotten rid of his identity as a poor man. If he wants, he can even imitate the dragon in the movie The Hobbit and sleep directly among a pile of gold coins, feeling the joy of being surrounded by wealth.
This exploration journey can be said to be quite perfect.
But Su Xia still felt uncomfortable. He rubbed his brows and whispered to himself, "Strange, what happened today?"
"Captain, are you still worried about the Mechanical Tribe?"
"have no idea……"
Su Xia frowned. She rarely had such a strange feeling. She always felt like something bad had happened.
He pondered for a while, and the things he had experienced recently emerged in his mind one by one. He slowly sorted them out, but he still couldn't find the source of this strange feeling.
"Could it be that guy Mercer is cursing me behind my back?"
