Chapter 1 Respect

Naturally, Fang Senyan earned the respect of the others solely based on the support ability he displayed. They were amazed that those selected were indeed not mediocre. Paul, on the other hand, was very interested in Lamutas, this seemingly clumsy giant, and kept asking Fang Senyan questions.

His war metal puppet was powerful, but apart from being inconvenient to move around, it had an even greater weakness: it required a continuous drain on Paul's MP. It was a bottomless pit! No matter how strong Paul was, he couldn't possibly be as well-equipped as Zi, who was decked out in deep green or dark gold gear, giving her plenty of confidence.

So, every family has its own problems. Fang Senyan envied Paul's giant strongman, who charged and smashed his way through everything, wielding a large, thick, and long club to sweep across the battlefield. But Paul also envied Lamutas for being convenient, worry-free, easy to take care of, and able to stand guard, repel insects, and be considerate.

The two chatted for a while. After Bo Kan had initially built the temporary base, the group discussed it and re-lit the bonfire, adding special additives. A thick, brownish-red column of smoke immediately rose again, calling for the others to come.

While waiting, the group gathered and naturally talked about the mushroom rock collapse.

Coincidentally, Vasili and Paul didn't have as rough a landing as Fang Senyan. They landed properly using the helicopter's take-off and landing method. Their landing points were also less than fifty meters apart, so they joined up during the landing.

Moreover, they had tested it, and the magnetic interference here was indeed too intense. Unless the Wasp aircraft flew directly into outer space, even low-altitude flight or regular cruising would cause the instruments to suffer from the fluctuating magnetic force, and a crash would occur with the slightest carelessness.

Their landing site was not far from Mushroom Rock. Logically, the two of them should have been able to reach that place within a day, but Paul rejected that idea. The reason was simple and sufficient.

Because he had noticed some very bad omens.

As everyone knew, Paul had made a lot of money modifying his spaceship before, so it was easy to deduce that his own Wasp aircraft must have been modified to the maximum extent, both in terms of performance and additional facilities. They were all very excellent.

During the landing, Paul was definitely not as sweaty and at a loss as Fang Senyan, but rather crossed his legs, held a coffee, and was very calm. So he could subconsciously take a few more glances at Mushroom Rock, and then let the camera lens focus on the place that needed more attention.

Then, after landing, Paul repeatedly replayed the recording many times, and finally confirmed that at the top of Mushroom Rock, he had discovered many huge and terrifying bones! Those bones were so large that they could be compared to the bones of a blue whale! Some of the bones were still covered with fur, while others had been completely corroded.

The terrain of Mushroom Rock was almost exactly as the name suggested, so the chances of those huge bones climbing to the top by themselves and then committing suicide in grief were almost zero.

So, a very important question arises. How did they get up there, and then turn into bones?

Paul's camera did not capture the twists and turns, so Paul had no way to draw a definite final conclusion, but he and Vasili both concluded that the huge bones on top of Mushroom Rock must have been very powerful when they were alive.

So the two violated the Alliance's orders and fled directly away from Mushroom Rock, eventually following the smoke to get here.

Fang Senyan also saw the huge skeletons in the video. Obviously, whoever could get these skeletons up there must be a winged creature, and this creature, in addition to being extremely powerful, should also live in groups and be good at division of labor. Those giant creatures were probably "lifted" up there………. In addition, to kill those big guys, the abilities of this winged creature must be very powerful…

The only good news now is that the terrifying explosion at Mushroom Rock was also very shocking, almost destroying half of the rock top. Undoubtedly, the flying creatures living on it also suffered a devastating disaster. Even if some survived, it was probably impossible for them to take care of Fang Senyan's side.

At this time, Lamutas suddenly walked in with a thump, thump, thump, and gestured to Fang Senyan. Fang Senyan immediately stood up and walked outside to look, and immediately discovered that on the distant horizon, a column of ochre-red smoke was also rising………

Two million seven hundred thousand kilometers away,

In the “Bridgehead” base transformed from the Eagle.

Major General Meng Ge and Major General Fei Ji were standing upright in their neat military uniforms, as if they dared not even breathe, as if their breathing would produce blasphemy and disrespect.

In front of them, a holographic projection showed an old man sitting in a wheelchair. The old man was wearing the uniform of an Empire Admiral. Although he was paralyzed in a wheelchair, his hooked nose and seemingly turbid eyes exuded an invisible pressure.

Even though this old man was just a holographic image.

"How....is....the....mat....ter.....go.....ing?"

When the Empire Admiral spoke, he was very calm and slow, with a slow feeling, but each word was like a falling bomb, destined to shock people's minds. Or, to ask what an ordinary person's reaction would be when they saw a bomb falling from the sky and hitting heavily in front of them? It must be a blank in the mind.

Major General Meng Ge was the

The first-in-command, stepped forward, and said very cautiously:

"Those people have already set off. According to the information fed back before entering the Upsilon planet, none of the twelve Wasp aircraft fell in the meteor belt. The physical fitness of these contractors is indeed far beyond that of our strongest warriors. According to the actual measured data, the acceleration they burst out when breaking through the meteor belt is sixty-one times the limit that our strongest warriors can withstand!"

The Empire Admiral narrowed his eyes. Behind him was a detailed star map of the Milky Way. It seemed that only the vast Milky Way could serve as his background:

"Hmph, they are indeed very powerful. I only hate those Noah spaces, which are completely self-contained and out of our control! They are only willing to cooperate with us in a very limited way. Otherwise, why would we absorb warriors from the past? If we had known, those ancestors should not have sown the seeds discovered on the back of the moon back then………… Alas, let's not mention this matter. I want the latest news."

Major General Meng Ge respectfully said:

"The latest news is that the personnel on the Little Eagle base took advantage of a magnetic storm and photographed the designated landing site of the group of people. A rocky mountain called Mushroom Rock there, I don’t know why, experienced a very intense collapse, and Mushroom Rock was the assembly point we had designated for the contractors in advance."

A thoughtful look appeared in the Empire Admiral's eyes, and he suddenly said:

"How much time do they have left?"

Major General Meng Ge said:

"According to the previous records of the Yautja's activities, there are eight days left, and then the Yautja will send their warriors to the Upsilon planet for trials. According to the combat power shown by the contractors, it is definitely not impossible to kill those warriors, but those Yautja who can land on the Upsilon planet to conduct trials are all nobles among the Yautja. Once a large number of casualties occur, it will inevitably attract attention. So, it can be basically confirmed that if they do not complete the exploration mission within eight days, then there will be no chance of survival."

"Eight days?" The Empire Admiral said slowly. He pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at Major General Fei Ji next to him: "I heard that you got involved in the contractors' dispute this time?"

Major General Fei Ji's cold sweat suddenly poured out from his forehead. He didn't dare to say anything, not even an excuse. He could only stand upright and say:

"I was wrong."

The Empire Admiral said coldly:

"Do you know what you did wrong? Taking some benefits is nothing great! Meng Ge also embezzled seven million universe coins on the Alps Seven station, but taking benefits is taking benefits, and doing things is doing things! Embezzlement and bribery are nothing great, as long as you can do things well, that is your reward! But if you ruin things because of your stupidity, that is double the mistake!"

At this time, the backs of Major General Fei Ji and Major General Meng Ge were simultaneously soaked with cold sweat, and they dared not utter a word. The Empire Admiral snorted coldly:

"If this mission is messed up, Fei Ji, you can go and receive the rank of Lieutenant Colonel yourself!"

After saying this, the Empire Admiral's holographic image shook and finally disappeared. Meng Ge and Fei Ji glanced at each other, both with resentment in their eyes, knowing that each other was desperately undermining the other, and even tore their faces apart. The two turned around at the same time and left the communications room……….

At this time, on the Upsilon planet, two million seven hundred thousand kilometers away, Fang Senyan and the others certainly did not know about this series of farces, let alone that they only had eight days to stay.

At this time, facing the call of the rising smoke in the distance, the five people still chose to rush to the meeting. At present, they must focus on the overall situation. Since the other party summoned this group of people, there must be a reason why they had to do so. Although Ronnie's injury had only recovered by half, traveling was not a problem.

However, when Fang Senyan and the others rushed to that temporary camp, they realized that the situation there had deteriorated to a degree beyond their imagination!
