Chapter 1 The Apostle's Plan

The Apostle of Gale wore a brilliant smile on its face, feeling a heartfelt excitement at this moment.

Yes, the previous explosion was deliberately caused by it.

The destructive power, precision, and scope of the explosion were all carefully calculated, which was not a difficult task for an Apostle race.

The ancient civilization had staged a bitter drama to allow the Apostle of Gale to enter Gale Island. The attacks of the several Apostles surrounding the Apostle of Gale were meticulously calculated, each attack severely injuring it without causing death.

The Apostle of Gale's purpose in creating the explosion was to destroy the building where Tang Su and Yuan Wen lived, without harming them!

All of this was to make one of them leave the Gale Tribe's habitat and return to the interior of Gale Island Castle.

Yes, the Apostle of Gale's previous reluctance was feigned.

In fact, if Tang Su didn't take the initiative to leave the habitat, the Apostle of Gale would deliberately guide her to make such a request.

Because the 【proof】requested by the other Apostles to the Apostle of Gale was that it couldn't leave the habitat, so it was impossible to find such a thing!

Even if it got Li Tianran's permission to leave the habitat for a short time and enter Gale Island, it would have no chance to obtain new resource ores under constant surveillance.

But Tang Su was different.

She was a core member of Gale Island with top-level access. Entering any location on Gale Island would not be refused. Most importantly, she would not be searched. The attitude of the pioneers at the edge of the habitat when she left just now proved this!

Only she could successfully bring back what the Apostle of Gale wanted!

But the Apostle of Gale had not brainwashed Tang Su, and she wouldn't be foolish enough to actively bring things back for it. Although Tang Su had freedom of movement, how could it obtain those ores?

The Apostle of Gale smiled. It didn't seem worried about this. It turned around and walked towards the aircraft, glanced at the time, and muttered indifferently, "It should have started already..."

...

At the same time, Tang Su, sitting in the helicopter, didn't notice that in the gap of her cuff, a tiny object, the size of an ant, with a dark metallic sheen, was quietly lying there.

If it were magnified countless times, it could be seen that it was a small robot with eight slender limbs, clinging tightly to Tang Su's clothes like an accessory.

This was the 【Envoy】sent out by the Apostle of Gale!

It was programmed to find special metal ores, and the Apostle of Gale knew very well that once any new resources were introduced, they would be sent to Li Tianran's castle, the master of Gale Island.

As long as Tang Su returned to the castle, the 【Envoy】could get some!

Although it was small, the Apostle of Gale didn't need much of the new resources, just a little bit of micro-dust. As long as the other three Apostles saw this micro-dust and confirmed its existence, that would be enough!

The Apostle of Gale had put so much effort into designing the explosion in order to have Tang Su or Yuan Wen bring this micro-robot out of the habitat.

Because if it left or returned to the habitat, it would be subjected to very strict inspections, making it impossible to hide the existence of the micro-robot. But Tang Su was different, no one dared to check her!

Therefore, this was why it was willing to endure Tang Su's scolding before!

...

A freighter slowly approached Gale Island.

"New resources have appeared again! Quickly, send them to the governor immediately!" The captain handed a lead box to the port负责人, his face flushed: "This is a radioactive resource, be sure to keep it safe and do not leak it!"

The port负责人 was obviously very familiar with the process. He took the lead box and immediately sent someone to take it to the castle by helicopter.

Soon, the helicopter landed.

The staff member in protective clothing carried the lead box and walked quickly towards the castle. At the gate of the castle, he ran into Tang Su, who had just returned.

"Miss Tang!" The staff member greeted Tang Su warmly.

"Hmm," Tang Su stretched. She saw the box in the other's hand and asked casually, "What is this?"

"New resources, just found outside the defense line... to be sent to the governor for inspection!" The staff member said with a smile.

"New resources?" Tang Su raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, new resources have begun to appear on Blue Star! Each one must be sent to the governor, and named and categorized according to its function and characteristics!" The staff member nodded: "The governor said that their appearance may allow us to completely crush the ancient civilization!"

Tang Su was a little surprised. She had little contact with the outside world during her time living in the Gale Tribe's habitat. She was basically isolated from the world. Li Tianran only checked their mental and physical condition every day, as for other news, they had no way to obtain it...

Tang Su didn't notice that when she was talking to the staff member, the micro-robot on her cuff had undergone some subtle changes. If it were magnified, it could be seen that a micro-camera had been opened from its body, recording the entire process of Tang Su's conversation with the staff member.

Soon, the two arrived inside the castle.

Li Tianran was a little surprised to see Tang Su return. After exchanging a few words and learning about the specific situation, and that Tang Su and Yuan Wen were not injured, he turned his attention to the lead box in the staff member's hand.

Tang Su was not angry at being neglected.

She knew Li Tianran's current identity very well, and she knew what was important, so after a brief exchange, she sat quietly aside, waiting for Li Tianran to be free.

The staff member opened the lead box, and a powerful radiation energy appeared in the room. Even at a distance of several meters, Tang Su felt a tingling in her skin.

Inside the lead box was a blue crystal, emitting a faint light.

Li Tianran reached out and took it out of the lead box. As a Second Evolutionist, he was not afraid of the radiation in the crystal at all.

"I can feel the energy it contains, very stable and powerful... It is a particularly suitable energy body for stable output and can be used to develop the energy core of a large engine!" Li Tianran said softly: "If the energy is stronger, it can even be used as the core material for a planetary engine!"

Crack!

He reached out with his right hand and gently broke off a small piece from the crystal, and said softly: "Its characteristics are very mild and stable, and will not change due to changes in shape and volume! This is a very safe element!"

"I'll name it... SR-8 energy crystal!"

Li Tianran put the crystal back into the lead box and ordered in a deep voice: "Tell the freight personnel to store them all in warehouse No. 8! Be sure to stay away from other radioactive materials. We have obtained many new radioactive materials. Before we determine whether they will conflict with each other, do not put them together!"

The staff member nodded and turned to leave with Li Tianran's permission.

At this time, Li Tianran turned to look at Tang Su and said softly: "By the way, I have prepared some snacks and flower seeds for you, take them back with you! Planting some flowers and plants will make you feel better!"

Li Tianran turned and walked towards the bedroom.

And Tang Su didn't notice that after Li Tianran left, the micro-robot on her cuff quickly drilled into the wool carpet of the castle, came to the place where Li Tianran had just broken the crystal, found two or three tiny crystal dust particles from the top of the wool, and put them into its body.

Soon, Li Tianran came out carrying large and small bags of things, and asked with a smile: "Is it boring there?"

Tang Su sighed and looked at Li Tianran with a somewhat resentful look: "There's nothing we can do, who told us we don't have the ability to help you in other places? In order not to be abandoned, we can only silently endure loneliness and act as hostages in the enemy's lair..."

"Stop, stop, don't always look at me with the eyes of a resentful woman, I'm not used to it." Li Tianran smiled: "It's not easy to come out once, just play on the island for a while! I'll let Xiao Hei and Da Bai accompany you!"

"You just want me to walk your dogs for you..."

The two chatted and bickered, cherishing the short, relaxing time.

After a while, other staff members came to the castle to report to Li Tianran, and Tang Su saw this scene, in order not to disturb Li Tianran, she quietly got up and left the castle, leading Xiao Hei and Da Bai to stroll around Gale Island to relax.
