Chapter Twenty-Seven: The "Shortcut" Begins
Sikage was analyzing the tissue sample of Osculo that he had snatched from under the gray cat's mouth, and when he heard the gray cat's bark, he looked over.
A cat tooth lay next to it, and the gray cat was circling the knife.
Osculo was reduced to ashes, but the knife he had left behind was still intact. The gray cat bit it, but without paying attention, it broke its own teeth.
Being able to break this cat's teeth is not an ordinary special, it is definitely an extremely special knife.
Xiying analyzed the knife, and one of the main elements of the knife was not recorded in Xiying's information base.
The material of the West Shadow itself is also very special, but this knife almost split his entire hand at that time, of course, for the West Shadow, even if it is split, it can be connected quickly.
"Keep this knife and wait for Xilin to wake up." Sikage set the knife aside and continued to analyze Osculo's genetic information.
Osculo's genes are much better than A-grade genes, several times stronger than A+ physiques, and somewhat similar to Cilin's genes, the degree of DNA helix is different from other people's, and there are many fewer silent genes in the genes.
Siying analyzed Osculo's genetic sample, and then looked at Cilin. At this moment, Cilin's wound has begun to heal, probably because the injury is too severe and the stimulator is very slow. However, at least the life signal is relatively stable.
A starship was parked in another place not far from the area assigned by the Vanguard.
In a room inside the starship, there were two people sitting next to a table.
One looked younger, playing with a yo-yo in his hand. Dragging his chin and watching the person opposite turn over the cards one by one and arrange them again, he couldn't understand it anyway, he just looked fresh.
Suddenly. The person on the opposite side puts away all the cards that are spread out with a wave of his hand, and then draws the top card and puts it on the table and turns it over.
The man playing the yo-yo grabbed the yo-yo when he saw it, paused, and said, "What does this mean?" ”
He didn't know what the patterns on the cards meant, but he had seen this card quietly when it appeared. An important figure on the military's side died. So, who died this time?
Gadda looked at the card and said lightly, "Osculo." ”
Syllable!
The yo-yo in the man's hand shattered to slag.
A shock of his hand shook the debris away, and the man asked solemnly, "Are you serious?" ”
Gadda glanced at him. "When did I joke about this?"
The man took a deep breath, "If this is true, number one, congratulations, you're about to replace Osculo as one of the Six Stars of Hunting." ”
For the sake of balance. There must be a new star hunter to supplement, the six stars of hunting, the four generals of the heavenly edict, all of which are indispensable.
For that man's words. Gadda didn't show signs of joy.
The man continued: "Second, that's good news. The Covenant is going to be in chaos. ”
As the man spoke, Gada's second card fell. Looking at the pattern on the card, Gadda frowned.
"How so?"
"How could it be?" The man asked curiously when he saw Gada frowning.
Gada didn't answer the question directly, but instead said to the man, "The shortcut can be opened." ”
"Good thing, I've been waiting for a long time!"
When Sirin woke up, it was already night in this area of the planet.
Sikage had already kept the flying machine around, but he and the gray cat had stayed by Cillin's side.
Seeing Xilin wake up, the gray cat happily came over and rubbed his ears, and then bent his paws to show Xilin the fallen cat tooth, "Xilin, that knife broke one of my teeth!" ”
Xilin sat up, looked at the knife that Xiying was holding now, and said, "This knife is indeed very weird. ”
Saying that, Xilin opened the gray cat's mouth and looked at it, "New teeth are growing so quickly?" ”
"Of course!" The gray cat said.
Cillin rubbed his head, he had roughly recovered a bit now, it would take some time to fully recover, and the knife wound was recovering very slowly.
"Thanks to you for coming in time this time, otherwise you would have to worship me in the future."
As soon as he said this, the gray cat became energetic, and told Xilin how he sensed Xilin's danger, how to discern the direction with his extraordinary perception, and the things on the other side of the base.
Sirin scratched the gray cat's chin and asked, "How is the base now?" ”
"Fortunately, it didn't take long for the starship to leave." Xiying replied.
"Didn't you say there was a rescue team? Hasn't it appeared yet? Cillin looked at the time, he was in a coma until now, and now two days have passed.
Shikage's eyes flashed, "I'm just telling them you're okay." "But I didn't tell the exact location coordinates.
No wonder the rescue team didn't see anyone.
"That's fine, so that so many people don't know about things here."
Xilin stood up, put the knife into the curly leaf pattern ring, and looked around, although it was night, the slight light from the aircraft still allowed Xilin to see the surroundings clearly.
"Osculo's body was destroyed by you, so you didn't see the star map fragments?" Cillin asked.
The gray cat has a mouth and sticks out its tongue, and there is a ring on the cat's tongue, which has no metallic luster, and the gray does not look ordinary.
"Subspace containers? Didn't the subspace collapse after being tossed so much by you? Cillin took the ring and flicked the cat's ears.
"Am I that stupid?" The gray cat lifted its chin triumphantly.
Xilin pouted in his heart: I really can't say.
took out the star map in the ring, the other things in the ring did not move, and threw it to the gray cat: "You can keep this ring for fish biscuits, but don't move the savings cards and materials inside, otherwise there will be trouble to find it." ”
If those people in the military find out that they killed Osculo, they will be closely watched.
The gray cat's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Okay"
"Let's go, go back to base. Xiying, come, help. ”
Xiying helped Xilin to walk to the aircraft, and now Xilin was still a little stumbling when he walked. The gray cat walks in front with its tail cocked.
Before boarding the aircraft, though. The three of Xilin raised their heads at the same time.
"Who's coming?" The gray cat tilted its head and shook its ears.
"Whoever it is, it's not from the Sixth Fleet." Cillin said.
Xiying's eyes flashed, "There's an outside signal requesting a call." ”
"Connected."
Call a connection. Gada's voice rang out.
"How does it feel?" Gadda asked with a smile.
Looking at Gada's image, Cillin sighed, "As a hunter, never give your prey too much time to prepare, and don't let them know you too well, otherwise they will be very nested." ”
It wasn't Sirin who knew about Osculo, it was Gada, and if Gada hadn't told Sirin so many of Osculo's habits. There was no way that Sirin could have escaped from Gada's sword, let alone slaughtered Osculo.
With just one word, the call ended, and Gada just wanted to tell Cirin. They're coming.
"It seems that we are going back this time. Xiying, can you contact the base? ”
"It has an impact, but it's not connected." Xiying looked at the sky, "There's something outside causing signal interference. Going to invade? ”
"Forget it, since Gada came over like this. There must be no fear. Let's see. ”
Although he didn't have much time to contact Gada, Sirin was sure that even if Xiying and Gray Cat teamed up to hack into the jamming system, it wouldn't be so easy.
After the craft landed, Gadda walked out, with two men behind him. One of them that Cillin had seen was the Invisible Man. The other Cillin did not know.
The "Grim Reaper" people.
It seems that they are still very familiar, but I didn't expect the relationship between Gada and the "Grim Reaper" to be so good.
Gada threw something to Sirin. Xilin took it and saw that it was a fragment of a star map, but it was not Xilin's type, it should be the kind that Long was looking for.
"Keep your promise."
"Now to open the 'shortcut'?" Cillin asked.
Gadda nodded.
That is, the rest of the fragments are in their hands.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Xilin knew that the other party was not prepared to let him contact the Sixth Fleet.
"Don't doubt it," Gadda said, as he seemed to know what Cillin was thinking, "I've contacted Extreme Blade, and you'll be able to see him later." Since it is cooperation, of course, it is necessary to show sincerity. ”
After seeing Osculo's ability, Cillin also had confidence in Jifeng, and he had enough confidence to have a star hunter to support him.
"Can I contact the head of the regiment?" Cillin asked.
"No, but I can tell you what you have to say."
"Okay, you tell the head of the regiment and ask him to bring Sigma by the way."
"Sigma? I don't know who you're talking about, but the request is allowed. ”
Gada looked at the yo-yo man leaning next to him, and the man made a "you can't help it" expression and turned back to the aircraft.
After a while, the man walked out, "It's been delivered." With that, he started playing yo-yo again.
By the time the extreme front arrived, it was already daylight in this area.
Extreme Striker brought five people, all of whom were core members of the home team.
Knowing that Sirin and Greycat had killed Osculo, the people from the home team behind Polar Blade looked at Sirin as if they had seen a ghost. However, Ji Feng just smiled, "A character like Osculo will be like this sooner or later." But Gada, congratulations on your soon-to-be-made stardom. ”
It seems that everyone can see it very clearly.
However, Ji Feng's eyes looking at Xilin made Xilin a little hairy, and made Xilin suddenly think of Old Man Mo Heng.
Sigma was silent when it was brought over by Jifeng and the others, this was the first time it came out in so many years, and it came out because of Jifeng's words "for shortcuts".
However, Sigma's silence shattered when he saw Sirin and Gray Cat, and he and Gray Cat began to talk, but in mechanical language, which the others did not understand.
Knowing that what Extreme Edge said was true, Sigma was so happy that the blue streaks of light on his face turned into large wavy lines.
Xilin took out three star map fragments, and the man named Xinzhao who played yo-yo in "Death" took out two star map fragments.
As soon as the five star map fragments were taken out, they had a strong mutual attraction, and after the five star map fragments were combined, a complete star map image flashed, but there was only an image, and there was no target point, and it was impossible to see which star area this was.
A key appears in the star chart with "Shortcuts" on it.
The spinning key finally pointed at Sigma, who was jumping in blue light with excitement.
"You can't know the specific goal without the 'key'." Gadda said.
No one thought that the key was Sigma. I just think it's going in that direction.
As soon as Gada's words fell, a light emanated from Sigma's body, and it was a star map projection, and the two star map projections converged together.
The star map is complete. And one of the planets is flashing, and that's the target point.
"This picture ......" Ji Feng frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be in the surrounding area of our regiment." ”
"That's true." Xinzhao said: "Juno has searched this star map just now, and it is indeed the surrounding area of your vanguard. ”
Xilin's pupils shrank, Juno?! The creator of "Elle"?!
Gadda laughed, "That's easy, I'm still wondering what to do if I'm on the territory of other forces." ”
"Haha, I'm going back! I'm going to find the master! ”
Sigma spun around in circles with joy there, causing all the people of the "Grim Reaper" to look at him. Asked Sigma some questions. As a result, Sigma only briefly said it, and did not explain the details at all.
But now, everyone doesn't care about the details that Sigma knows.
After recording the star map, Xilin followed Jifeng to the aircraft. Gada also got on the Extreme Blade's flying machine. The rest of the "Grim Reaper" returned to the starship in a flying machine.
On the flying machine, Ji Feng chatted with Xilin about the situation when he killed Osculo, and was very satisfied with Xilin's performance, and his eyes were more similar to Mo Heng.
At the same time, Xilin also knew from Jifeng. The people who attacked the base of the 6th Detachment were the people of the "fog", and there were not many losses on the side of the base, and there were no casualties.
"After Osculo dies, there will definitely be a chaotic battle in the Covenant. Those who have been pressed by Osculo will definitely act after losing their shackles, after the 'shortcut' thing. Everyone must be prepared for this chaotic battle. ”
Ji Feng's words were for Xilin, and the affairs of the Sixth Squadron were basically decided by Xilin. Shotton's influence has gradually not been as great as that of Xilin, and in the evaluation of many people on the home team, Xilin has long replaced Shortton's position.
Jifeng's attitude also shows the importance he attaches to Xilin, if it weren't for Xilin's reluctance to be directly promoted to the home team before, Xilin would have been brought over a long time ago.
Since the location indicated by the star map is not too far, everyone arrived quickly.
The target planet is a rather inconspicuous planet with a small D-class habitability, and even Extreme Blade and Gada are honestly wearing protective suits.
Sigma and the gray cat led the way, and everyone was envious.
That's the non-human good.
There was no need for anyone to go out of their way to probe and analyze, Gray Cat and Sigma had quickly found the place.
There was an entrance, and after entering through the entrance, everyone knew that the entire planet was an instrument, an instrument capable of creating space jump points.
It was Sigma who turned on the instrument, and some of the instructions were also known to Sigma, which had been stored in its memory for a long time.
Sigma was indeed thrilled to know that she would soon be able to go home to find her master, who had been separated for many years, but at the same time she was excited and regretful. If this had been before meeting the people of the Sixth Fleet, Sigma would not have had this thought, but now Sigma is a little reluctant, perhaps this is what humans call "contradictory emotions".
While Sigma was busy with his work, Extreme Edge, Gada, and a few people from the "Grim Reaper" asked the "shortcut" question.
They all have the same plan, this time they must verify this jump point first, and then arrange personnel to enter after confirming that it is safe, and this matter must be prepared.
"Are you sure this jump point is a two-way street?" Extreme Blade asked Sigma.
Sigma didn't even reply, "Of course, how did I get here in the first place?" ”
Sigma didn't belong to the Star Covenant and had already told everyone before, and Extreme Feng just felt that something was wrong, not that there was something wrong with this jump point, but that he had a hunch that things wouldn't develop the way he imagined.
Ji Feng looked at Gada, he still knew something about Gada's ability, but now Gada just lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Cillin stayed with Gray Cat and West Shadow not far away, and now they didn't need to do anything. To a certain extent, if it weren't for the fact that Xilin had star map fragments, and if it weren't for the fact that Jifeng and Gada had some protection of Xilin, the people of the "Grim Reaper" would not have let Xilin stay here, and would have even snatched the star map fragments a long time ago.
"Xilin, can this 'shortcut' really go to a place outside the galaxy where the Covenant is located?" The gray cat asked.
"I guess so." Cillin hasn't seen it, so can't be sure.
Greycat licked her mouth, "I hope the end of the 'shortcut' will be a world with a lot of food, and not so many perverted science maniacs." ”
Cillin scratched the gray cat's chin and said nothing. Each system has its way of being, and the complexity of each system is not single, just like the Star Alliance, some places are peaceful and beautiful, some places are war-torn, some places are prosperous, and some places are down. None of that can be said for sure. But for the place where Sigma can be made, Sirin is still mostly curious, and Sirin also has an idea.
For so many years, Xilin has been inquiring about the original family of Kamiki Fukuchi, but he has never had a clue, and he doesn't know if there will be clues on the other end of the "shortcut".
"Ah, that's it!" Sigma shouted.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
"Let's take a look at the stability of this node first." Sigma said.
It didn't take long for Jifeng and Gada to remember, as well as Shinzhao's communicator.
Ji Feng turned on the communicator, and the person on the other end said excitedly: "Leader, there is a space-time vortex outside!" ”
"Let's go out and have a look." Sigma leads the way and runs ahead.
Now that Sigma is out, the people inside are also out.
However, a strange feeling suddenly rose in Xilin's heart.
When everyone went out, the space-time vortex in the sky without an atmosphere was very clear, and there was a tendency to change more and more.
"This is the 'shortcut'!" The gray cat looked at Sirin in amazement.
This look shocked the gray cat's whole body fur exploded. (To be continued.) )
