Chapter 33: Defending the Fortress

In the star-filled space, next to the huge star, a strange light and shadow emerged from the vacuum, rolling several spaceships into the void universe.

The stars in the distance were glowing brightly, and the light cast by them shone strongly on the ship.

The ship's case reflected a silvery glow.

Inside the spaceship's cabin, the nano-paint on the ship's windows changes their structure under the control of the ship's AI, blocking the light that is otherwise unfavorable to the human eye.

People in combat uniforms woke up from a feeling of nauseous vertigo, and there was an indescribable dullness in everyone's heart.

There is not only a sense of dislocation caused by the distortion of time and space, but also the trauma brought by war.

Lin Ling wiped the blood gushing out of the corner of her mouth again, and looked at the gray planet in front of her.

It seems to be close at hand, but it is actually very far away, and it is only because it is too large for a spaceship that causes this visual error.

The color like steel was clearly reflected in Lin Ling's eyes.

It's a planet of steel, with looming buildings towering over the planet's surface like forests.

In the memory of the original owner, not much information about this planet is also known.

The only thing you know is the function of the planet, to defend the fortress.

From this planet as a starting point, dense fleets are neatly arranged in space, like an absolute line of defense, stationed on the frontier.

From this alone, you can see the strength of the human fighting power in this world.

The ship accelerates towards the planet, and the propulsion from the drive causes the ship to go at high speed.

The dense steel jungle was also presented in front of Lin Ling's eyes in the gradually closing distance.

The buildings that towered over the earth were actually huge turrets, as huge as mountains on the planet's surface.

Hideous and extremely intimidating.

Lingling stared at the turrets until the ship entered the harbor, and the heavy metal walls obscured her view, then she withdrew her gaze and lowered her head like everyone else.

The technology of human beings in this world seems to be very powerful, but in every battle, they are retreating like a defeated dog, which requires deep thought.

The not-so-small battle ship was moored in the harbor, and two large metal interfaces stretched from the surrounding area were held in place by levitating magnetism, and stairs stretched out in front of the ship like a Donomi card.

Several humans in military uniforms stood in front of the stairs, a glass completely separating them from the soldiers walking down the ship.

With serious expressions, they gave a military salute to everyone.

The soldiers returned the same salute.

One of the men looked at the number of people in front of him, and the hand he put beside him gradually clenched, "Welcome home." ”

But his voice was still powerful, and it reached the ears of the soldiers clearly through the radio above.

[I feel that this formation, should I still have a physical examination? ] The system muttered in Lin Ling's mind and shrank behind her.

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Lin Ling muttered in her heart, but did not say it to the system.

She saw several humans in isolation suits walking towards her, waving to lead the soldiers away.

The moment she turned, she noticed the man's eyes closed.

Heavy and grief-stricken.

She made a note of the man's face for later use.

Guards led the soldiers into three enclosed rooms, helping several of the most seriously injured people into them.

It is both treatment and isolation.

Through the transparent doors and windows, Lin Ling saw them put the men into a canistry-shaped device, press a few buttons, and let the machine start treating them.

A panel on the side begins to show the body's components and functions.

The person who had recovered and examined was led by others into the small door of the room.

"System, do you have a prop that can hide the anomaly of the human body?" Lin Ling asked in a low voice, even if she temporarily used someone else's identity, her physique that was not a pure human could not be changed with it, and this kind of instrument that analyzed the composition and function of her body was the easiest to detect her abnormality.

[Yes, yes, but you need to redeem points, and you still owe 1911 points, which is still the amount after you repay the debt once.] The two eyes of the system fell slightly, and they looked at Lin Ling with some concern.

In the novice task, because Lin Ling completed the task ahead of schedule, she got a total of 91 points, all of which were used to repay the arrears, plus the remaining money after Lin Ling bought a tennis racket, and there was just 1911 yuan left in arrears.

In other words, Lin Ling spent 1,911 yuan to buy a tennis racket.

It can be seen how ridiculously expensive the mall is.

"It's okay to continue with the loan." Lin Ling didn't care, she still cared more about what she could get in the mission world than about points.

[Okay, let's start by saying that if you don't change within a certain period of time, you will be assigned a mandatory task.] 】

While everyone was not looking, the system began to operate secretly.

"It's fine." Lin Ling has always been very confident in her abilities, and she firmly believes that she can pay off her arrears after a few missions.

took out a syringe from the warehouse, and the system took advantage of its size to hand it to Lin Ling, [Do you want me to help you? 】

"Come on." Lin Ling gently brushed her long hair and placed the system on her shoulder.

The only exposed neck skin is in front of the system.

The liquid medicine in the syringe was injected into Lin Ling's body.

[The time limit is almost twelve hours, because you still owe money, you can only buy this consumable.] The system leaned on Lin Ling's shoulder, and it seemed to outsiders that it was resting, [You owe 3210 with it. 】

"Don't worry, I'll be able to pay it back."

Looking at the guards who had already walked towards her, Lin Ling took the initiative to walk forward.

She followed the man into the closed room.

"This, give it to me, check." One of them spread out his hands and pointed at the system on Lin Ling's shoulder with a glove.

[Huh? I'm going to ...... too. Not. 】

Sensing the gazes of several people in front of her, Lin Ling covered the system's sounder and took the initiative to hand it to this person.

"Can you give it back to me later?"

"It can be returned if it is confirmed that there is no infection." A cold voice came from under the man's mask, and he didn't look at Lin Ling again.

Lin Ling didn't pay much attention to it and lay down in the instrument.

Her seemingly relaxed attitude still attracted the attention of the soldiers outside.

But probably because of the previous drama on the spaceship, these eyes did not carry too much malice.

At most, it is dissatisfaction and incomprehension.

Lin Ling looked up at the pale ceiling, the pale color reminded her of the white money of human funerals.

The canister-shaped instrument also sealed her in like a coffin.

Those in protective suits did not communicate much with the soldiers, and the gaze cast from under the transparent mask was full of numbness, like ...... Accustomed to the same.

Liquid was all over Lin Ling, and a robotic arm extending from the instrument slashed her upper waist, extracting the ribs that had been pierced into her internal organs, and suturing and repairing the injured internal organs.

The steel nail was fixed to Linling's ribs, and the broken bone was restored to its original state.

The liquid faded, the hatch opened, and Lin Ling heard a scream from the side while marveling at the medical technique of this instrument.
