In the deep silence of the universe, Hydra's huge fleet suddenly leaped out of the void.

After an hour of traveling at double the warp speed, they entered an unfamiliar star sector and stopped their warp speed, and the huge thrusters at the tail of the ships ignited blue flames, and the entire fleet moved slowly in a diamond-shaped array.

It was a shattered star system, the central star had turned into a red giant, and the planets around it were half-broken, like rotten wood hollowed out by moths. Some have simply shattered and become a meteorite belt.

Several ships of the fleet are already lively.

The six rectangular ships with a diamond-shaped bow at the nose are specially made troop carriers in Shandar.

The Hydra and supernumeraries recruited on Earth woke up from the cryophora one after another, and it was difficult for them to adapt to the astronautics with their physical condition, so they all entered the cryosleep capsule during the space jump.

After relieving the discomfort they had just woken up, each person drank some hot water and nutrients, put on a dark blue spacesuit with the Hydra badge printed on it, and walked out in an orderly line to enter a medical channel.

People who have been on land for a long time have just entered the universe, and it is inevitable that they will experience some symptoms such as decalcification, muscle relaxation, dizziness, and loss of direction.

Within this medical pathway, they undergo automated physical examinations and inject medications.

Walking out of the medical passage, there is a large training ground on each floor, a metal ground, rows of various deep space training machines, full of the smell of iron and blood.

Skinhead Buddy is a huge, muscular Kree who has been wandering the universe since his failed escape from the Resistance and later joined the Skinheads, where he is a recruit trainer.

"Hurry up, these soft-footed reptiles!" Buddy put his hands behind his back and roared fiercely: "Everyone must complete the standard training, and they can only get through it when they are strengthened!" ”

The members of the hydra did not speak, although their muscles were weak and their movements were deformed, they all worked hard to train with cold sweat on their foreheads.

Most of them have undergone brutal military training on Earth, sometimes even to the point of death, so the pretending to be fierce Buddy is very gentle to them.

Buddy walked around satisfied, correcting some of the people's movements from time to time.

He suddenly understood why Lady Viper went to Earth to recruit troops, although these guys have poor physical fitness, their personalities are more resolute than the other, and their discipline is no worse than that of the elite troops of the Kree Empire.

As long as the basic physical reinforcement is carried out in Xandal, after systematic interstellar combat training, the prototype of a strong army appears.

He had already begun to fantasize about being able to lead such a group of people into battle, even if it was a squad leader.

At the same time, on another spaceship, the accompanying members of the Earth expedition team also woke up one after another.

They were much more comfortable, and after the same medical examination, they entered the huge viewing cabins on each floor and drank coffee and chatted.

The mysterious universe enchants them, and although there have been a few stops along the way, no one wants to waste time sleeping in the lounge.

Thomas is a member of the American delegation, and when he was at Harvard University, he was also a young man who loved poetry, looking at the scenery outside the window and wanting to say a few words, but after holding his head and thinking for a long time, he could only helplessly say to the person next to him: "It seems that it is right to be in politics, but I can't think of a word in the face of such a strange scene." ”

Everyone around laughed, and a member of the German delegation shook his head and said, "We just need to record what we see and hear truthfully, and leave art to the future." ”

As they passed by a white planet, the planetary probe suddenly detected traces of civilization and displayed a real-time image in the observation module lobby.

It was a ruined city, with many of the thousands of meters of floors half collapsed, and after an unknown amount of wind and sand, it had become a mottled ruin.

At the same time, the voice of the central computer also made an indifferent introduction: "Hello tourists, what you see now is a relic of a civilization called Longston, which is recorded to have become extinct 200 years ago due to energy wars. ”

All of them swallowed.

"This will certainly not be the case in the future of the earth!" A man muttered quietly.

"Yes, we will not allow it!"

The members of the delegation discussed it in a big way.

After another 20 minutes, the fleet suddenly stopped.

The members of the delegation, although somewhat strange, did not ask. Before they left, they were told the rules of action: watch more, listen more, and interject less.

On the flagship Viper, Ophelia said with a serious face: "Conduct all-round detection of the target." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a three-dimensional image of an asteroid about three kilometers in diameter appeared in the command hall, a large irregular stone mass with a surface covered with cratered impact marks. Data continued to appear next to it, and at the same time, the voice of the central brain sounded...

"Energy Detection... Normal. ”

"Spectral probing... Normal. ”

"Space probe... There is a huge cavity in the center. ”

"Bioprobe... No suspicious creatures were found. ”

After listening to all the reports, Ophelia frowned, "Do the coordinates match?" ”

"The coordinates are correct, and the preliminary investigation has shown that there has been no anomaly in the recent period."

Ophelia thought for a while, and gave a serious order, "Send an unmanned spaceship in." ”

Soon, a small hatch on the side of the flagship opened, and a 20-meter-long unmanned reconnaissance spacecraft flew out, and the tail sprayed blue flames into the hole at the top of the asteroid, while real-time images were displayed in the flagship command hall.

There is no glimmer of light inside, and the surrounding walls appear to be strangely folded when the lights are turned on.

After the probe spacecraft traveled 800 meters, a strange scene appeared in front of everyone.

The large cavity next to it is densely covered with pink stone columnar crystals, layered like a dream.

After the detection data was displayed, the adjutant next to him exclaimed: "Ques's high energy crystal!" This thing is invaluable, and it can actually form a vein! ”

Ophelia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It seems that this is the place, let the unmanned spacecraft come out and prepare for battle!" ”

The adjutant looked confused, "Combat... Where is the enemy? Don't we mine? ”

Ophelia smiled, "You'll see it right away." ”

The adjutant was still puzzled, but she didn't dare to say more, but then she opened her mouth wide and said in horror: "What the hell is this!" ”

On the three-dimensional display image, the unmanned spacecraft has just returned to the tunnel, and the entrance of the cave is suddenly full of fangs.

The operator of the unmanned spaceship gritted his teeth, skillfully accelerated to dodge, and rushed out of the hole.

However, as soon as it flew 20 meters out of the hole, a huge monster worm stuck out its head from the hole, swallowed the unmanned spacecraft with great speed, and then slowly retracted.

Ophelia stood up, her face did not change at all, and she said unhurriedly to the adjutant: "This worm is our target, and the contents are just an unexpected harvest." ”

It turned out that in the previous ignorance, the collector gave Li Mo a map that was said to contain cosmic wonders, and Cosmo told Li Mo that he had overheard a message that the map was a trap containing a giant starry sky worm, and the collector had used this thing to kill many people.

Li Mo had already forgotten about this, but later remembered it when he was studying the dark energy respiratory organs of cosmic creatures, so he gave an order for Ophelia to catch him and use it as a biological specimen.

Ophelia, having identified her target, led her lieutenant to a huge warehouse.

Inside the warehouse are many sealed glass jars ten meters high, filled with green bubbling liquid.

After letting the adjutant guard the door and closing the hatch, Ophelia slowly took off her leather gloves.

After striking a contract with Sithorne, she not only possessed a strong physical fitness and the ability to maintain almost eternal youth, but also mastered another power: immunity to all toxins and mastery of venom configuration.

In these glass vats were the anesthetic poisons she had carefully prepared for the starry sky giant insects, and now they only needed to be fine-tuned.

After reconfiguring Venom, Ophelia stepped out of the hatch and gave the order to the lieutenant to send a ship to throw the cargo bay into the beak of the Star Giant Worm.

After a while, another spaceship dragged the cargo compartment to the huge hole of the asteroid, and after the link was unlinked, the cargo compartment with the thrusters slowly flew into the hole.

After reaching the deep part of the abdominal cavity of the starry sky giant worm, the blasting device in the cargo compartment suddenly activated, and dozens of tons of green venom sprayed out.

The asteroid soon began to shake violently, cracks appeared on the surface, and then the crumbling stones continued to fly out, and an ugly giant insect with lotus-like mouthparts a full kilometer long appeared in front of everyone.

Its body was covered with tiny arthropods, and its gray, bloated, rock-like body writhed continuously, and from time to time it blindly shot out rays of energy from the scar-like organs on its body, and then gradually stopped moving.

Under Ophelia's orders, a small spaceship slowly approached the giant insect and installed a signal locator on the giant worm.

With a flash of white light, the giant worm was teleported directly back to the Void Ignorance Biological Laboratory, where it would be the mad scientists of the Void Mage Regiment.

After carrying out the task of catching the giant worm, the Hydra fleet slowly left this star field and entered the course again.

Their destination is Xandar, where new recruits will be strengthened with physical modification and trained for a year in cosmic interstellar warfare.

From there, the Earth expedition will begin to explore the planets under the escort of two warships.

Stephanie has already begun preparations for the Hydra Academy in Sander, while Ophelia continues to lead the fleet in the transportation of materials for the Ignorant Construction.

For Li Mo and everyone under him, the next few years will be filled with busy work.

…

A week later, on the outskirts of the Sandar Star Zone.

The Hydra fleet jumped out again, and began its daily recruit marching training as usual.

Ophelia woke up from her sleep, and since Li Mo helped her suppress Sithorne's contract curse, she was finally able to enjoy plenty of beauty sleep like a normal woman.

No longer bothered by the fear of the Dimensional Demon God, and her personal abilities have ample room to be displayed, Ophelia is very satisfied with the current state of life.

Just as she was about to do her daily physical training, the adjutant suddenly sent a message that the fleet had received a distress signal.

Ophelia frowned, and quickly put on her uniform and came to the central flagship command hall.

The lieutenant and all the spaceship crew had serious faces.

An encrypted distress signal is constantly playing: "I'm Starka, this is the Daystar, there are 100,000 refugees on board, we are from the planet Conlaxiat, the planet has fallen, it is controlled by intelligent life, please answer if you receive it, please answer if you receive it..."
