Far interstellar, unknown Yu Region.

Outside the window is the vast cosmic nebula, which is the interior of a starship.

The hall is extremely open, and it was built like a resplendent palace, with wall lamps and night pearls inlaid on the walls.

A long golden red carpet stretches on the ground, and the light of the wall lamp flows among the plush, silently brewing an extravagant atmosphere.

"We are very sorry for your loss and imperfect results in Beta Alien."

At the end of the golden-red carpet, a man in a black robe was stroking his chest with one hand in front of him.

The man's attire was very strange, a large black robe covered from head to toe, with a hood, the face could not be seen clearly, and the gender could only be distinguished from the voice.

And his tone of voice was also strange, as if it mixed two emotions of gentleness and indifference. Even though he said "sorry", it was more like a favor from someone who had been in a high position for a long time, rather than a real apology.

There are steps on the carpet.

There are seats at the top of the steps.

The gold-plated armrests are engraved with hideous patterns of skulls and crowns, and are inlaid with diamonds, pearls, and agates.

A young man with a beautiful face sat obliquely on it, his crimson messy hair was like a magnificent burning flame.

"It doesn't matter, it was just a test of the technology you brought. I am very satisfied."

The red-haired boy was talking lazily, holding a black cat in his arms, red wine and goblets were placed on the small round table in front of him, and there was also a white floating screen.

The young man tilted his head interestingly: "Besides, life needs to be a little bit unexpected to be exciting."

He flicked the floating screen in front of him, and the screen turned to the man in black robe.

"Look, I found a new little treasure."

A video was played on the screen. It was the second military fortress of the Silver Beidou. The battle was raging in mid-air, and countless specialized air combat mechs of the lava bandit group were shooting intensively.

And a blue-black mecha pierced through the thick smoke like a frightened bird, the artillery fire could only pass over its two wings, and the mecha climbed up at an almost impossible extreme angle...

The screen freezes.

The red-haired boy tapped the screen twice.

The video was zoomed in, and zoomed in again.

The pilot of this mecha was displayed on the screen...it was a young and handsome black-haired youth.

"Don't you think? Such a person, such a mech..."

The red-haired boy slowly stroked the fur of the black cat with his finger wearing a gold ring. The cat stretched its neck lazily under his hand and let out a meow.

The young man licked his lower lip, his eyes were hot: "...so beautiful."

"So beautiful...I want to kill him with my own hands."

The man in the black robe below seemed to chuckle slightly.

"Then, as you wish."

"The brilliance of crystal particles will benefit you and me. I hope we can cooperate happily this time...Your Excellency, Young Leader of the Red Dragon."

Alpha Alien, Yinbeidou Fortress.

Comet M-Zhan set off the next day before dawn.

Xie Yuduo and Rita personally sent Garcia to the gate of the first-floor fortress, and looked up at the A-level mech as it took off.

Rita said softly, "Major General, what do you think..."

Xie Yuduo looked indifferent, and before she finished speaking, he said: "Don't ask, this time something is not right, I don't know what to do."

At this time, the major general stopped being ostentatious, and another kind of cold and iron-blooded temperament overwhelmed the natural elegance in his eyebrows and eyes. He is the general of Yin Beidou.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't let His Highness Garcia go down."

Xie Yuduo closed those phoenix eyes, and said in a complicated tone, "Three years ago, Prince Lai'an drove Jin Xiaofei from the first fortress of Yin Beidou, and never came back."

He sneered, and shook his slightly long hair: "A few days later, this year's military general meeting will be held. If His Highness Garcia makes any mistakes in the hands of alien creatures... I should be among those old and immortal people."Kneeling and kowtowing in front of him, he took the blame and resigned on the spot."

Rita couldn't help calling out softly: "Major General!"

"...But, as long as I'm still in this position, the Yin Beidou's rules are up to me."

Xie Yuduo raised his head, looked at the sky with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "There are no royal relatives here, only victory or defeat, life and death—this is my rule."

...

"—This is the rule of Major General Xie, and it is also the rule of most of the truly admirable generals of the empire."

In the cockpit of Zhan Comet, Jiang Jianming said flatly, "He loves me, but he is unambiguous in business, so if I want to come out with you, I can only do it secretly."

Garcia snorted beside him with a half-smile.

In fact, it is not difficult to secretly bring out the disabled human beings, as long as the disabled human beings are stuffed into the treatment cabin of the mech in advance, and then the treatment cabin is pushed into the blind spot of sight.

When he opened the mecha and entered the cockpit, Xie Yuduo who was outside didn't notice anything wrong at all.

The mecha keeps flying at a constant speed along the preset route. There is no enemy situation during this period of time, it is just a mechanical rush.Jiang Jianming handed over the driving to Seth Henry.

While chatting with Garcia, he grandly flipped through His Royal Highness's military wrist phone, looking at the information Xie Yuduo transferred.

Jiang Jianming: "At that time, when our team found the B-level subspecies, it was wounded."

"According to statistics, all the alien creatures that suddenly appeared were injured."

Jiang Jianming had almost read it, so he closed the information: "The speculation in the fortress is that perhaps higher-level alien creatures suddenly appeared somewhere, driving the alien creatures that originally inhabited there."

Garcia: "And you think?"

"There are too many coincidences," Jiang Jianming said frankly, "There may be artificial forces."

"Start with the 'new blood' of the officers in the scourge adaptation period, and then quickly wipe out all the expedition teams that came, so quickly that there is no time for them to send back specific information to the fortress..."

"I always feel that this set of procedures is a bit like a long-term plan for major returns—such as fishing for you."

Garcia looked at him deeply: "...Who were you before?"

Jiang Jianming: "Didn't you read my file? It's just an ordinary military student."

Garcia glanced at him amusedly, and suddenly slowly took out an apple from his hand: "There is one thing I must explain in advance."

"Xie Yuduo may have told you that... I don't care about the safety of Yin Beidou, nor the empire. Staying in the fortress is more about a cooperative relationship of interests."

Garcia put the apple to his lips, but he didn't eat it, he just rubbed his chin with the smooth bright red skin of the apple, and murmured:

"So when encountering an emergency, I will act with my own wishes as the top priority."

Jiang Jianming: "I know."

You are wild.

"What I mean," Garcia emphasized, "Next, you have to obey my wishes, not the interests of the fortress."

"I know that too." Jiang Jianming nodded.

So His Royal Highness Garcia took out another apple, took the hand of the remnant crystal human, and put it into his palm: "Very good, eat with me."

Jiang Jianming: "..."

Fortunately, after being together for half a month, Jiang Jianming has completely regained the feeling he had when coaxing His Royal Highness Lai An back then, and he can handle this person's occasional whimsy and willfulness with ease.

They hurried on their way while talking nonsense while talking about business. In the afternoon, the snow-capped mountain where the officers in the adaptation period had experienced was already close in sight.

Jiang Jianming took over the control from the intelligent brain Seth, manipulated Comet Zhan to lower the fuselage, and switched to low-altitude flight.

They marched along the direction of the Yinbeidou exploration team, and they saw a few traces of camping halfway.

"Based on time," Jiang Jianming glanced at the screen and said in a deep voice, "This should be the place where the exploration team rested for the last time."

He clicked on the map: "The environment ahead is... a dense forest?"

Garcia frowned slightly.There are many obstacles in the environment with tall vegetation and dense growth, and the field of vision is not wide, which is conducive to ambushes, and it is a strong test for mech manipulation.

If there is a battle between new humans and alien creatures here, obviously the former will fall into a disadvantageous situation.

If this series of incidents is really man-made...then the soldiers of the Yin Beidou Expeditionary Team are tantamount to going to the dead without knowing anything.

M-Cut Comet sails into the jungle!

The eyes are covered by giant trees and vines, as well as pale white moss-like coverings.

Most of the vegetation here has weird and distorted shapes.The surrounding crystal particles are very dense, and many tree trunks even condensed a thin true crystal ore by themselves.

The dense forest was very quiet. Jiang Jianming held his breath and concentrated, and vaguely heard regular abnormal noises coming from the depths ahead.

The prince obviously heard it too, his eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "It's like the sound of alien creatures eating."

Jiang Jianming understood and nodded slightly.The mecha sneaked silently.The speed of chopping the comet was extremely fast, and countless tree shadows were left behind in an instant, and the scenery in front of him changed——

In front of him, under a giant tree covered with vines, there were piled up human limbs and fragments!

The blood was frozen under the severe cold temperature, corpses were disembowelled one after another, some limbs were torn, some skulls were trampled to pieces, and the brains flowed to the ground.

The drone sent by the fortress to detect it was also destroyed here, and the silver Beidou's military emblem can be vaguely seen in the tragic scene, so polluted by blood that the original snow-silver color can no longer be seen.

And among the severed limbs...

They were five alien creatures that had never been registered. They had huge mouths and bellies, and their bodies were somewhat similar to toads, but they had eight limbs and feet, lying on the ground like tumors.

They were eating the minced meat all over the ground with their long and curled tongues. They seemed to be startled by the mecha. One of the toads made a series of weird chirps, and half of human intestines fell out of its mouth bloody.

All five of them turned around and ran away.

This scene was horrible, Jiang Jianming's face turned pale, and his lips tightened.

The mecha suddenly accelerated, and Garcia's icy voice was beside him: "Don't look, let's chase."

Seeing Comet Zhan flying across the stump, Jiang Jianming suddenly said: "Wait!"

He endured the nausea, and through the glass barrier in front of him, he set his eyes on the corpse room again: "Your Highness, something is wrong."

"According to speculation, the time when the exploration team died was two days ago. These corpses...although they were divided into pieces, they were too intact."

Garcia frowned slightly, and he immediately realized the meaning of Jiang Jianming's words.

really.The corpses of these Yin Beidou advance team looked bloody, but at least the head was the head, the body was the body, and the hands and feet were the hands and feet... If they were eaten for two days, there should be nothing left.

Jiang Jianming: "Alien creatures should not be so considerate, and wait until we come over before starting to eat."

As he spoke, he manipulated Zhan Comet to open the cannon port, and the flame ignited the giant tree in front of him.

"Bait?" Garcia's eyes dimmed.

After only one second, the prince made a judgment: "That's even more important."

Jiang Jianming understood.

——Just because they are in the light and the enemy is in the dark.If you don't chase now, you will never know who is the evil person behind the scenes who wants to target Yin Beidou.

Jiang Jianming sighed softly: "Your Highness, so you said that you don't care about the safety of the fortress."

His hands landed on the console of the mech again, "I can understand this sentence based on your 'won't take care of me', right?"

Garcia: "...shut up, mecha."

The cold wind blew, and the fire climbed up the giant tree like a snake.Soon, the dead grass, vines and corpses under the giant tree also burned with crackling sounds.

This is a cremation, and those sacrificed Silver Beidou soldiers will be turned into ashes between the sky and the earth in the fire, and go away with the wind, or sleep forever in the snow.

And the M-Zhan comet threw the firelight behind the steel body, and it chased along the direction in which the alien creature was escaping.

The author has something to say: Garcia: A cold and amnesiac person, he doesn't take special care of anyone, and he doesn't care about anything.

Jiang: ...Okay, okay (sighs pamperingly)
