21. Chapter 21
ใChapter 21: Emergencyใ"I'll cut your throat before you call for help!" โ
Eleventh galaxy.
"Report to the General, the last time Major General Joshua sent back was near the Eighth System, and then the contact was cut off."
Horn stood at the manager's desk, reporting on what he had just had.
The man in front of him propped his hands on the table, his handsome face frowning at the moment. Ludwig Boero, the first general of the Empire, after returning from a short sabbatical sabbatical, learned that his lieutenant had lost contact a few days ago!
This is definitely not good news.
"The Eighth Galaxy? Isn't that the middle zone, how did Joshua get there? โ
"Just after coming out of the Emperor Star, I encountered a surprise attack by the Federation Army, and the Major General is probably panicking." Horn explains, and in fact he's right.
"Next!" Ludwig snorted coldly, "Let a team go to the Eighth Galaxy to pick him up, it's nothing, if Joshua can't handle this trouble, then he won't be that Joshua." โ
Horn gave a military salute: "Yes! โ
After Horn went out, Ludwig moved his wrist and sat down in the back chair. He remembered that in addition to his own lieutenant, there seemed to be another person who had also lost contact......
Training?
General Ludwig would not have imagined that the two missing people were now discovering a secret on a desolate star in the eighth galaxy together, which was enough to shock the Empire.
"Ye Zhao," Joshua lowered his voice and said sternly, "I wanted to ask from the beginning, how did you know that there is liquid titanium ore on this planet?" โ
As a territory located halfway between the Empire and the Federation, Brandon is not a strategic fortress, but it is also a sensitive area. It's nothing like Gavin Military Academy to bring new students in for training, but if there's one side that is mining resources on this planet with much fanfare...... That would be tantamount to adding impetus to the war.
"The empire has never sent people to explore this planet, Ye Zhao, how did you know?"
Joshua, whose IQ was finally on the line, found something that had been deliberately ignored by him before, Ye Zhao ...... Do you know too much?
Ye Zhao had long expected him to ask such a question, and he was unexpectedly calm.
"Is there really no one who has come to explore?"
If it's true, then why is there a record of these mineral fields in his light brain?
Joshua was stunned by this rhetorical question: "What...... Meaning? โ
Ye Zhao didn't explain, he pulled Joshua to the stone wall next to him.
The two of them are now located in the location of the liquid perovskite marked in Ye Zhaoguang's brain, because of the particularity of the composition, this ore is naturally born in the depths of the grotto where there is no light all year round, and it will solidify when exposed to light.
"What do you think of Tony?" Ye Zhao suddenly asked.
Because Baihu and Ye Haha couldn't enter the grotto, and they didn't need to mobilize much to mine a few ores, they only sent Joshua and Ye Zhao into it, and the rest waited at the entrance of the cave.
Joshua thought for a long time before he realized who this "Tony" was.
"He's too introverted," Joshua scratched his head, "I look away from him every time I run into him, but he should be fine, right?" Yesterday, Safiel was not feeling well, and he was always there to help deliver water. โ
"That's the case......" Ye Zhao smiled, the closer he got to the deepest part, the more uneasy his heart became. Did you notice that he deliberately kept his distance from us all the way he came? โ
"Joshua, did you hear any voices?"
***
Silent Cave-Inside, any small sound will be amplified to an infinite number of times.
Ye Zhao was close to the stone wall behind him, and he didn't move at all. Joshua beside him turned pale, as if he had just experienced something terrible.
"What's wrong with me?" He grabbed Ye Zhao with one hand.
"I was too careless." Ye Zhao sighed, "I always thought that Tony's target was me and Saifer, who knew that he would choose to attack you in the end." โ
The footsteps in the depths of the cave-cave came from far and near, as if a knife was hanging in the hearts of the two of them, and it would fall mercilessly in the next second.
However, this qiฤ Joshua should have discovered it long ago.
But in fact, if it weren't for Ye Zhao's reminder just now, he wouldn't have been able to notice this strange footsteps until now.
- His Sentinel ability is ineffective.
"It should only be a temporary block, but unfortunately I can't help you," Ye Zhao showed an apologetic look on his face, "I have already combined with Ludwig, and my pheromones are mixed with his sentinel information, which will cause you to interfere." โ
Joshua hung his head.
"Cheer up, Joshua," Ye Zhao tightened his clothes, "I don't want to die in a place like this!" โ
When the sound of footsteps sounded at the corner of the stone wall, Ye Zhao flashed up quickly and pressed his elbow against the opponent's neck to restrain him on the stone wall behind him: "No sound!" โ
His voice was deep.
The people who came probably didn't expect that two living people would suddenly appear here, and for a while, they were so frightened that the three souls went to the seven spirits.
"Who are you......" he asked with a shudder.
Ye Zhao gave Joshua a look, and then asked with a gloomy face: "Now I ask you: Who are you, where are you from, is there anyone else here besides you, how many, where, what is your purpose, dare to answer the above questions less or say a wrong word-"
He pulled out the short knife that had been hidden on his body from his military boots: "I'll cut your throat before you call for help!" โ
