【……

The missile cruiser "Orion" was captured by the Union Burning Corps! The Celestials' attempt to point the Wastelanders to the future has failed once again, but it's clear that they're not giving up, and we'll have to wait and see what happens.

In addition, the biggest contributor to the capture of the missile cruiser refused to give his name, or because the name was too long to pronounce.

In short, the historical truth is revealed, the 3,000 crew members of the "Orion" missile cruiser have finally been corrected, they have never carried out a surface cleaning mission, and once saved the wasteland world! The delegates proposed the construction of a memorial cemetery for their contribution in appreciation of their contributions.

However, it is extremely scary to think that Orion never fired a neutron torpedo at Earth, and the Gemini was five light-years away...... So where did the nuclear bombs that fell from the sky in the early Wasteland Era come from?

In any case, the expedition that spanned 36,000 kilometers ended in victory!

As General McLaan said, even with God as an opponent, the Alliance's Burning Corps would not be able to lose, and the Goblin Corps was certainly the same.

In addition, the emergency meeting of the board of directors of our old friend Ideal City has entered the most heated stage, and it seems that they are about to announce the results of the meeting!

- Goblin Observer

】

The USS Orion missile cruiser, equipped with a buffer cabin and remodeled in the finished repair room.

Night Ten is updating the news he obtains through the "special function" on his tablet.

After taking a sip of the two-hundred-year-old instant coffee, Jiang Xuezhou looked at the text on the tablet and couldn't help but complain.

"Are you serious?"

Ye Shi laughed.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when you get back."

The nerd didn't believe he could transmit information five light-years away, and he was so successful in piquing his desire to win, so he decided to show her a hand.

It's actually quite easy to verify.

I'll find out when I get back and buy a copy of the Goblin Observation for a specific date.

As for whether it will be leaked, there is no secret or no secret in this thing.

The relevant information has long been written in the information briefing of the intelligence department of the old Southern Legion, not to mention that a long, long time ago, their esteemed administrators used the player's cross-regional teleportation card bug to pass messages between Ideal City and Dawning City.

At that time, there was no stable communication channel between Ideal City and Dawning City, and it was not easy to see that it was not easy to use your brain.

At least for the Alliance, being known isn't a big deal.

Compared to other outrageous rumors, this is just the most insignificant one.

Of course.

It's just wishful thinking.

Watching him make up a whole page of news in a matter-of-fact manner, Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help but be moved by his perseverance even if he didn't believe it in his heart.

This guy is working hard enough to keep her from falling into depression.

Maybe I've misunderstood him all along, it's not like he doesn't really know how to take care of people.

It's just not good at expressing it.

"Uh-huh, that's fine."

"What do you mean by that," Night Eleven looked up dissatisfied, "I've been writing silently very seriously." ”

"Okay, since you are so adamant that you are not joking, then Miss Ben will play with you," Putting down his arms, Jiang Xuezhou put the coffee cup on the table beside him, and a wicked smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "Bet on something." ”

Ye Shi was immediately happy when he heard this.

"Okay, how do you bet?"

Jiang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"If the content you write on the tablet and the real Goblin Observer have a duplicate check rate of more than 50%, you win. If it's less than 50%, it proves that you're making it up, and I'm winning. ”

6666！

Ye Shi has seen a person who gives away a human head, but I have never seen a person who takes the initiative to feed a human head to his mouth.

"Haha, okay, just do as you say."

"Don't worry, it's not over yet," Jiang Xuezhou covered his helmet mask with a wicked smile on his face, and unceremoniously made the declaration that he gave for nothing, "If I win, you will be a pig for a week, and you have to add a 'hum' to the end of every sentence." ”

Boy.

It's quite black-bellied.

Ye Shihe said with a smile.

"Okay, what if I win?"

"Whatever you do," the corners of Jiang Xuezhou's mouth curled up into a smile of victory, and he said slowly, "Of course, Miss Ben is absolutely impossible to lose, so you don't have to bother thinking about it, uh-huh......"

The arrogant laughter like a miscellaneous fish made a few G's information flash in Ye Shi's mind for a moment, and he couldn't help but show an evil smile on his face.

However, it was only for a moment.

Because he quickly realizes that he has no tools to commit crimes, even if he has a mind full of bad ideas, he can't do anything, except for his fists.

The evil smile suddenly died down, turning to remorse and anger.

MMP！

The dog said Ah Guang!

It's so angry!

Looking at Ye Shi, who suddenly couldn't laugh, Jiang Xuezhou was completely mistaken, thinking that the former couldn't go on, and the smile on his face was even more presumptuous.

The little koala, who was cleaning the room, tilted her head to look at the two of them, completely unable to understand their conversation.

At the same time, Chu Guang, who was far away in Dawning City, sneeze involuntarily.

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, he muttered vaguely.

"Which dog is beeping again......

……

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the two people who were floating in the second south gate had spent a whole month in the two-person world.

During this time, the two of them recovered the materials that could be used on the starship, and at the same time repaired and improved the facilities that could still be used as much as possible.

Although life is a little harder, they are not desperate under the suffering of the two.

In particular, the news and cold jokes collected by Ye Shi through the "special function" can be said to be one of the few consolations for Jiang Xuezhou in the icy universe five light years away.

At the same time, it is also the motivation for her to persevere in finding her way home.

After a period of searching, Jiang Xuezhou finally confirmed through the repaired positioning device that the "Gemini" fell on the surface of Gaia, the third planet revolving around the main sequence stars of Nanmen 2A and B.

Not only that, but she also successfully searched for radio signals from the black boxes of the twin missile cruisers!

The idea of going home gradually became clear.

All they need to do is send one person to the surface on a research ship, find the wreckage of the twin missile cruisers, and recover the reactor's fuel storage tanks from them, and they'll be able to scrape together enough energy for the next hyperspace jump.

This plan is fraught with risks, but it is much more reliable than "improving the warp engine to reduce the energy consumption of hyperspace jumps".

After some arguments, Ye Shi finally persuaded Jiang Xuezhou to stay on the Orion missile cruiser to play the role of long-range support, and go to the surface alone.

According to the convention of general RPG games, two people enter the dungeon together, and the "Where are the teammates" branch will definitely pop up at the end.

He had already predicted the "trick" planned by the dog, and he would not have fallen into this pit at all.

It's good to act alone.

……

Next to a research ship that has been repaired.

Ye Shi, who was wearing the "Dragoon" power armor, finally checked the equipment on his body and the toolbox he carried with him, and then looked at Jiang Xuezhou, who was worried, and admonished.

“…… If I don't come back, don't worry, stay calm. ”

Jiang Xuezhou's eyes were red, and he said in a choked voice.

“…… What stupid things are you talking about, how can I not be in a hurry. ”

Although he was wearing a thick extravehicular spacesuit and mask, Ye Shi could still feel the sadness in his eyes.

"No, I mean really, huh...... What do you say? After scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, he finally couldn't figure out how to explain that he wouldn't die, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Anyway...... You have to trust me, I will never leave you alone. ”

Although the "Player's Handbook" does not stipulate that players should speak in unison on the two specific matters of resurrection and telecommunication, it cannot be revealed that "game" is still the consensus of all players.

He wasn't sure if Hikari's camera was watching nearby.

Besides, even if there is no GM to watch, he doesn't want to break his promise on what he promised.

"That's it."

Jiang Xuezhou raised his thick gloves with red eyes, stretched out his little thumb, and muttered quietly.

"Pull Hook ......"

"Pull the hook."

Although he felt a little naïve, in order to reassure her, Ye Shi still hooked her fingers and shook them.

It's been a long time.

Jiang Xuezhou hooked his little thumb and refused to let go for a long time.

Looking at the hand that didn't want to let go, although Ye Shi couldn't bear it in his heart, he finally pulled his hand out of her hand.

He could not care about this life, but he couldn't care about her safety.

"If I don't come back...... I mean if! You just find a sleeping pod to lie down. ”

"I swear, I won't leave you alone, I'll definitely come back to you!"

The emergency hibernation pod on the Orion was no problem after lying for fifty years.

It's not the time since we first entered the Wasteland Age.

Even if the Alliance didn't have the ability to travel to worlds five light years away for the time being, fifty years would be enough time for them to pick up the warp engine-related technology.

"Hmmm......"

Jiang Xuezhou whispered a sentence and took back the hand hanging in the air.

After receiving an affirmative reply, Yaju's face showed a sunny smile and touched her head.

"Wait for me."

The little koala standing on the side also listened to the round metal belly and waved her hand blankly.

"Have a nice trip."

"Hmmm! I'll go back as soon as I go! ”

After speaking, the night ten steps meteor boarded the scientific research ship, passed through the hatch and sat on the seat of the cockpit.

That was where Jiang Xuezhou had sat before.

In the past three days, he has become familiar with the operation process of the research ship under her guidance.

It's not difficult to simply drive this thing up and down to the ground, and the shipboard AI can navigate with one click and automatically analyze reliable landing sites through camera sensors.

Besides, there is Jiang Xuezhou watching from the sky.

Orion's command system has established a direct connection with the research vessel's communication module.

In this way, even if he encounters a problem that cannot be solved, Jiang Xuezhou can remotely take over the spaceship and bring him back from the surface.

“…… The anti-gravity device is turned on, the plasma engine is activated, and the autopilot mode is switched. ”

Silently reciting the operation process he had learned before, Night Ten pressed all the buttons that needed to be pressed.

With a slight thud, the research ship that had stopped at the edge of the broken hull slowly floated up from the alloy floor, and then separated from the massive starship under the impetus of a light blue plasma plume.

The scenery outside the front windshield began to flip up and down, from the hull facing the USS Orion missile cruiser to facing the dark green planet that emitted a faint mist.

Looking at the magnificent planet, Ye Ten involuntarily held his breath and pressed the back of his head against the seat in the cockpit.

That's Gaia!

Where the People's Union Aerospace Force once fought-

"It's time to go!"

Jiang Xuezhou's voice came from the communication channel, and Ye Shi took a deep breath to dispel the tension in his heart, and replied sonorously.

"Roger!"

With his answer, the dark blue plasma plume gradually amplified, pushing the research ship to draw an arc towards the nearby planet.

As the distance between the two gets closer and the altitude of the orbit gets lower and lower, the gravitational pull exerted on the research vessel gradually increases until a new equilibrium is formed with the anti-gravity device.

At the same time, the research ship descended from the geosynchronous orbit was already close to the edge of the atmosphere, and the silvery gray hull of the spacecraft was scorching hot.

But the blazing flame didn't last long.

Thanks to the combined action of the anti-gravity device and the plasma engine, the speed of the research ship was quickly reduced to less than three times the speed of sound, and before entering the troposphere, it was reduced to double the speed of sound.

Sitting in the cockpit, Ye Shi felt the nerves in his whole body tense, and his heart was both nervous and excited.

It's like taking a jumping machine, and it's jumping in from outside the atmosphere!

The speeding scientific research ship pierced through the clouds in an instant, and threw down four drones with folded wings at the same time as passing through the clouds, and flew in four directions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest by the effect of inertia!

Under the dual scanning of the UAV's radar and vision sensors, the surface situation was quickly collected by the scientific research ship, and fed back to the starship in synchronous orbit through the communication module of the scientific research ship.

I saw strangely shaped broad-leaved plants covering every inch of the entire planet, looking like a vast dark green ocean.

It's the same as the aerial footage you see in synchronous orbit!

Night Ten took another deep breath and flew over from the several landing spots that flickered on the holographic screen and flew over the relatively high ground and seemingly relatively safe.

Carrying a huge air current, the silver-gray spaceship blew away countless vines and branches and leaves, and landed on the soft lawn.

Moments later, the hatch opened, and Ten of Nights, with an assault rifle in hand, stood through the hatch and stood on the surface of the planet Gaia.

This is probably the first time in 215 years that human civilization has returned to the world five light-years away.

If there really aren't any living people left......

Ye Shi always had a strong premonition in his heart that there was actually a "deviation" between the history he knew and the real history.

There are many possibilities for offset.

It's as if the residents of Boulder City always think that Ideal City once went on an expedition to them, and they spread the word about it, but the residents of Ideal City don't remember it at all.

It wasn't until the collapse of the inner city that the truth was revealed.

Those memories passed down by word of mouth are just one of the histories that the nobles of the inner city fabricated in order to create legitimacy for their rule.

Species are even more abundant here than on Earth, and the lush woods don't look like they've been washed by a nuclear bomb.

In other words, it is true that the Aerospace Forces of the People's Federation have indeed bombed this place.

It's just that the ecological environment here is far more resilient than the ecological environment on Earth, and in the past two centuries it has long been restored to the way it was before human civilization visited here......

"Night Ten!! How's it going over there?! ”

Jiang Xuezhou's voice came from the communication channel, and the voice was full of apprehension and anxiety.

Hearing Jiang Xuezhou's voice, Ye Shi immediately reached out and tapped on the helmet.

"I've landed successfully and feel good...... What about you? Found the location of the twin missile cruisers? ”

The four fixed-wing drones in the sky are operated by Jiang Xuezhou.

Soon, a picture was projected onto the tactical eyepiece of his power-mounted helmet.

"The source is locked in a valley, about 3 kilometers from where you are now...... The vegetation there is too dense, with an average height of 20 to 30 meters. ”

When he said this, Jiang Xuezhou's voice was full of nervousness.

"Ten Nights...... You have to be careful, the situation here is completely different from what is recorded in our database, and I saw a lot of strange animals along the way. ”

"I know."

Night Ten cast his gaze to the shadows under the forest beside him, his index finger having picked on the rifle's safety.

A murderous strain silently swirled around him.

No doubt.

It was the killing intent of a predator.

He could feel an eye watching him from behind the shadow.

“…… There are many flora and fauna here, as if they have never been beaten. ”
