One step late!

This sentence suddenly exploded in Shu Yungui's mind, and he looked up at the astronomical telescope again, only to realize that the device that constantly emitted distress signals had stopped working.

The last cry set up by the former monarch of the Ninth Star for the people of the Ninth Star stopped, and no astronomical device could hear the sound of the Ninth Star again, and the life and death of this planet finally fell into the hands of the Ninth Star itself.

At this time, Shu Yungui couldn't care about whether Cheng Sikong could come to the Ninth Star smoothly, even if he was an outsider, but after living on the Ninth Star for so long, he seemed to have been emotionally involved with the people here.

"What's wrong? Why do you have that expression?"

He jumped off the power core, and Cornelies quickly caught up with him, asking, "Is something wrong with the power core?"

Shu Yungui nodded, frowned, and said, "We are one step late, and there is only an empty shell left in the power core, and the key devices inside have been removed."

Cornelies's face turned white for a moment, and she lost her voice, "It must have been the Coexistence Sect in the Inner City!"

"Coexistence?"

Corneerys explained, "It's those side branches of the royal family who put my cousin under house arrest, they advocate peaceful coexistence with the orcs, and it is said that they have been in private contact with the orc leader, and if the power core falls into their hands, the people of the ninth star will really lose their way to live!"

"Orc leader?" Shu Yungui was puzzled: "The orcs are not sane and are driven by wildness, where did they come from?"

He had fought so many mutants in the Hope Star Field, and he had never heard of a malignant or an organization.

"I don't know about this, my cousin didn't elaborate, only said that those coexistence factions are unwilling to leave the Ninth Star, they are worried that the immigration spaceship will not be able to find a new place to settle again, and they are also worried that they will not be able to continue their drunken life after leaving the Ninth Star, so they secretly colluded with the orc leader, wanting to carve out land with the orcs on the ninth star, and take the initiative to pay tribute to humans every year to raise orcs, in order to maintain their luxurious life."

These words were simply appalling, Shu Yungui and Wen Sen were stunned, and the two looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Not to mention whether the orcs have a leader or not, is it really clear how many orcs and coexistence factions there are on the entire Ninth Star? Take the initiative to pay tribute to humans every year? Do they know how many people are needed to feed those orcs? And do they really think that orcs are creatures that will honestly abide by the treaty and obediently wait to be fed?!"

Vincent's teeth chattered in fright, and he craned his neck and said, "Those orcs can eat all the humans in a day!" So...... So is it true that the royal family of the inner city is the same as the legend, and does not take the lives of the people in the outer city seriously?!"

Corneerys lowered her head, although she was not a coexistenceist, she was also a member of the royal family in the inner city, and she was powerless to argue against the accusations of the civilians of the outer city.

"It seems that the two helicopters Harvey called to transport the metallurgical machines were just a cover, and their real purpose was to use this as a cover to sneak the power core away from the statue of the Queen!"

Shu Yungui pondered, "If my guess is correct, now that the Power Core has fallen into the hands of the Coexistence Faction, whether their purpose is to use the Power Core to create arms and usurp power, or to destroy it and completely crush your cousin's plan to restart the immigration spaceship, we must rush back to the inner city immediately and inform your cousin of these circumstances."

Cornelius wrung her fingers and said anxiously, "Are you saying that the Coexistence Sect already knows about my cousin's plan? Will they also find out that my cousin sent me out of the city secretly? If that's the case...... Are they going to do something to my cousin?!"

"I can't rule out this possibility, the reason why they keep your cousin's throne and are not in a hurry to usurp power is probably because they value his status as the last heir to the throne."

"Feudal monarchy. The most important thing is bloodline and reputation, they want to control a puppet king, but your cousin didn't let them get their wish, once the two sides tear their skins, with the current power of the coexistence faction in the inner city, your cousin's situation is quite dangerous!"

Cornelius gasped, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she climbed on Shu Yungui's sleeve and said urgently, "Then let's go back quickly!" The coexistenceists are ruthless

They won't let my cousin go!"

Without further ado, the trio immediately left the statue of the Holy Queen, and they found the sailboat left behind by the bounty team on the edge of the reeds, and sailed up the Pattington River back to the outer city.

As she left the mouth of the sea, Cornelys stood at the stern of the boat, folded her hands on her chest, and prayed reverently in front of the statue of the Holy Queen.

"Your Great Majesty, please bless your people, bless the Ninth Star, lend me your sword, help me cut through evil, remove filth, and let the Ninth Star never perish!"

She didn't know if the queen could hear her prayers, and when the statue of the queen faded from sight and faded to the end of the horizon, she put down her praying hands and let out a long sigh silently in the enveloping night.

"Don't be too pessimistic."

Shu Yungui walked out of the cabin, the sailboat only relied on the wind to move forward and seemed to be underpowered, and it was very slow, Shu Yungui saw that Cornelys was anxious, and deliberately handed her the kettle.

"Drink some level and calm down, it's useless to be anxious at this time."

He stood beside Cornelies, his hands propped up on the railing, the starlight shining on them, and Shu Yungui raised his head, trying to find the shadow of the Hope field from the stars.

"When something happened in my hometown, I was as anxious as you, and I always felt that I hadn't done enough, and I always felt that everything was too late."

He smiled and said, "But my friend told me that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, as long as you believe that there is no dead end in the world, you will definitely find a turnaround."

Cornelies tilted her head and took a sip of water, which ran across the corners of her red lips and disappeared into her collar.

"I haven't asked you yet, why do you want to help me, help the Ninth Star? All this had nothing to do with you, but now you are willing to put yourself in danger for us, I read that it is said that there is no kindness in the world that does not seek to be reciprocated, so what are you asking for?"

Shu Yungui turned his head to look at her in the night breeze, Cornelies' long golden hair fluttering in the wind, gently brushing his arms from time to time.

"I need to borrow something very valuable from the people of the Ninth Star to save the people of my hometown, and you can also take what I have done now as a reward for the people of the Ninth Star."

Cornelies glanced at him curiously, their eyes meeting in the air, each with endless questions about the person in front of them.

"Do you want to repay the kindness of an entire star field alone?"

She shook her head and said, "You still say you're not a savior?"

Shu Yungui was stunned for a second, and then laughed out loud: "If there is a choice, I also want to hide behind some big heroes, stay away from danger, and watch them save the world, but what should I do, who told me to fall into it?" If I don't come, if I don't do this, then my relatives and my friends will be in danger."

His fingers tapped on the railing, making a "clanging" sound.

"You also have the one who doesn't want to put him in danger, right?"

Cornelys lowered her head and didn't speak, only the gentle night breeze was passing between the two, and it took a long time for her to look up at Shu Yungui, the young man was looking out from the railing, which inexplicably made her heart beat a beat.

"How far is your hometown from us?"

She suddenly asked for no reason, and Shu Yungui replied casually, "77 billion light years."

"Far away?"

"Well, it's far away."

Shu Yun returned, "It's so far that no man-made flying machine can fly such a long distance, and my friend has exhausted the mutation energy...... It was the same magic that sent me here, and they were still holding on to my hometown, waiting for me to bring back hope, and you see, I was the only one in front of you, and there were thousands of horses behind me."

"That's a long, long way away......

Cornelies turned, leaned her back against the railing, and said, "I'm looking forward to meeting those friends of yours."

Shu Yungui smiled at her, and there was a shout from Vincent in the cabin behind him, and he raised his hand and got into the cabin, Vincent

In the cockpit, looking at the map to check the route, he held up the monoculars, and his face looked very bad.

"What's wrong?"

Shu Yungui walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "You seem to have seen a ghost alive."

"It's scarier than living hell!"

Vincent hissed, shoved the telescope into Shu Yungui's hand, pointed to the water in front of him and said, "See for yourself!"

Shu Yungui held up the telescope in front of him suspiciously, and in the faint starlight, he saw that the water in front of him was constantly swelling with waves, gurgling and bubbling like boiling water.

"What's that?"

He tried to look intently, but the light was too faint, and with the reflection of the water, he really couldn't see what was surging at the bottom of the water for a while.

At this moment, Cornelies's scream suddenly sounded at the stern of the boat, and before Vincent could react, Shu Yungui had already rushed out, and then the gunshots rang out, and the air bomb sank into the flesh and made a dull sound of "poof", and the sound of heavy objects falling into the water continued to come.

Vincent quickly grabbed his flashlight and followed, there was a large blood stain on the stern deck, and he followed the blood to the water, where the corpses of several aquatic orcs were undulating with the waves.

Cornelies' arm was scratched bloodied, and she was sitting on the deck trembling with a frightened face, and Shu Yungui rushed up with a brisk stride, snatched the flashlight from Vincent's hand, stepped on the railing, half of her body turned out, the light in her hand shone straight into the water, and countless miserable white faces were showing strange smiles at him under the waves.

Vincent got goosebumps all over his body in an instant, and he staggered back a step, his back slamming into the hatch.

"It's a crowd of rays and aquatic beasts."

Shu Yungui stared at the dense and countless orcs under the water, gritted his teeth and said urgently, "Copy guys! We are surrounded!"
