Chapter 181: Taking Stock of the Harvest

The unexpectedly ruthless revelation of Lei Nu, who seemed to be enthusiastic, made Zhang Muzi dumbfounded, and he didn't even know how to say a rebuttal for a while.

Fortunately, Joey, as the leader of the surrounding group of armed survivors, was very generous at this time, and did not look at Zhang Muzi differently because of the time of escape, but said understandingly: "If you don't officially get the qualification to join the mercenary organization, you are not considered an interstellar mercenary, and you have no sense of belonging to the temporary team, and it is not strange to abandon your comrades when the disaster comes."

But...", he turned his head to stare at Zhang Muzi's face, and his fingers swiped to point at the resting warriors around him, "Young evolutionary, the situation is different now than then, everyone here relies on each other to survive.

If you are still not prepared to sacrifice for others, then I can only ask you to leave. ”

"I, uh, I see, well, Mr. Joy, I chose to stay. Zhang Muzi wanted to argue, but he felt that he had nothing to say, so he pondered for a while and said with a wry smile.

"Congratulations, young man, you made a wise choice," Joey smiled as he answered, "We just received contact from the 0213th Advance Fleet of the 'Federal' Defense Force last night, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to go home in two or three days." ”

"Oh, that's the best news I've heard in the last few dozen days. Zhang Muzi was stunned for a moment, with a sincere surprise smile on his face, and blurted out, and when the words landed, he saw Joey turn his face to Lei Nu, pointing to himself and commanding: "Lei Nu is one of us now, this young man is one of us."

Since he has the strength to kill three-star creatures independently, let's be in the battle group, and the weapons and equipment will be supplemented according to the best available. ”

"Yes. Head. Lei Nu nodded and replied, and then poked Zhang Muzi's arm beside her and said. "Follow me. He turned and walked deeper into the oasis.

A few minutes later, the two of them came to several large sand-walking trucks loaded with tattered guns and armor.

After replenishing Zhang Muzi's so-called most elite equipment, Lei Nu said: "Earthlings." Since the head has assigned you to the combat team, then we are real comrades-in-arms, and I solemnly remind you, I hope you will never run away again..."

"Since you know that I slipped out of the war zone when Area 127 was raided, does that mean that Mur is still alive, after all, she was the only one who noticed my movements at that time?" Zhang Muzi suddenly interrupted Lei Nu's words and asked.

"Yes," Lei Nu nodded and replied, "Your team is very lucky, and two people survived, including Murmur." ”

"What about the other one?" Zhang Muzi asked again with an expressionless face.

"The Burning Man also survived. Lei Nu looked at Zhang Muzi and replied again flatly: "But now that I have lost a hand and a foot, strictly speaking, I can only be regarded as half a person, and if I encounter a battle again, I am afraid I will not be able to escape." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Muzi's mind couldn't help but think of McGee's wit, the mountain bear was straightforward and tough, and the target was proud and conceited... figure, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, looked back at Lei Nu and muttered: "It's lucky that six people survived one and a half, and if you don't have a bad idea, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out."

Can you tell me exactly where the so-called Black Sea Fleet came from and why they are so powerful. And why are you attacking us for no reason, I know you know where these guys come from?"

"The Black Sea means the Black Sea of Stars," Lei Nu was silent for a moment, and her already hoarse voice suddenly became extremely low, "This kind of star field will only appear near the black hole. Because of the magnetic anomaly, although there are indigenous intelligent creatures, they are only primitive and cannot form a civilization system.

And so for thousands of years. It has naturally evolved into a place of exile for many advanced civilization planets in the universe that have abolished the death penalty.

What I didn't expect was that it was about 100,000 or 150,000 years ago. This is vague as far as I know of history, when a powerful government was overthrown. The dictator, along with his thousands of followers, was forced to flee to the 'Black Star Sea', changing the landscape of the Black Star Field.

This group of people, with a huge amount of wealth and resources, and top scientists, actually found another way to rely on the inhumane live experiments on hundreds of millions of indigenous people, and forcibly opened up a terrifying road of biological beast modulation, and slowly created a powerful country, and the name of this empire was naturally called the 'Black Sea'.

One can imagine how strong the innate aggressiveness of this dictatorship established by terror and cruelty is, and because of its special territorial location, it is impossible for the enemy to be devastated even if it is defeated in the mainland..."

"So what we encountered in the 'Sand Starfish' was not a simple armed attack to plunder resources, but a war of aggression, a war of aggression by the Black Sea Empire against the entire Western Galactic Alliance, right?" Listening to Lei Nu's words, thinking of what had happened all along, Zhang Muzi's mind flashed with inspiration, and he blurted out an exclamation.

"It seems that your intuition is very keen, earthling," Lei Nu smiled bitterly, "Based on the last contact with the Alliance Defense Forces, we have indeed been invaded by the Black Sea Empire.

Before the outbreak of this war, no one would have thought that the 'Black Sea' would dare to take the initiative to challenge the most powerful planetary alliance in the galaxy. ”

Zhang Muzi was born on a low-level civilization planet, and he didn't really know much about the status of the Western Galactic Alliance in the entire universe human world, so he calmed down and asked curiously: "Is our 'Alliance' very powerful in the universe, much stronger than the Black Sea Empire?"

"Of course," Lei Nu nodded with a little pride on her face, but she nodded with a worried expression: "But just like I said just now, the Star Domain where the Black Sea Empire is located is of a special nature, and the warships of ordinary technological civilization cannot enter its territory at all, so the war potential and resilience are very large, and there are many examples in history where the weak defeated the strong."

All of this will be a bitter and long war, perhaps lasting for a hundred or even a thousand years. ”

The entire history of civilization on the earth is only a few thousand years, and there has only been a century-old war between France and England, the traditional power of 'Europa', in history, so Zhang Muzi couldn't imagine that there would be a war that might span dozens of generations and last for thousands of years, and blurted out in horror: "It lasts for a thousand years... Lei Nu, this is too exaggerated!

What can you gain even if you win a thousand years of war, countless planets in ruins?"

"Exaggeration, maybe, but this is the reality of the universe," Lei Nu replied expressionlessly: "It is useless for human beings to claim that they are unique intelligent creatures, and it is the animal attribute that controls us in the end.

As for what you can get, for the emperor of the Black Sea Empire, what better gift than a crown of monarchs recognized as the top power in the universe?"

Lei Nu's words made Zhang Muzi speechless for a while, and Lei Nu herself became distracted, didn't want to say more, and was silent for a while before she said weakly, "Come with me, take you to eat something, rest for a while, and recuperate your spirits, maybe there will be a battle in a while." ", guiding Zhang Muzi away from the sand truck where the equipment was issued.

After fleeing on the resource planet for dozens of days, the reserves of compressed food and high-energy nutrients have been exhausted, and the thousands of armed survivors in the oasis have long begun to rely on desert creatures from local materials to solve their food and clothing.

Avoiding the crowd lying around, the two walked on the green grass for a few minutes, and came to a row of hot metal plates with thin slices of meat spread on the sun stove, Lei Nu said: "Food is in short supply now, but you are a battle formation, and you can get five slices of barbecue meat for one meal, and the basic nutrition should be enough."

After eating, I will go to the right side to rest, and follow my orders for future actions. He ignored Zhang Muzi and turned around and walked towards the shade of the trees on the right.

Looking at her shrinking back, Zhang Muzi frowned, squatted down, pretended to cherish it, grabbed a few pieces of barbecue meat and put it in his mouth, and thought to himself at the same time: "It turns out that the Black Sea Empire is from such a background, no wonder the sergeants are so warlike and cruel, but it is just a 'snack' when they meet my brood."

It's a pity that according to the harvest during this time, there are only dozens of 'templates' for their biological transformation routines, and now I have gathered three stars of the beast level of the elite reconnaissance troops, and five basic modes;

The beast level of ordinary combat soldiers is one star, and there are 12 types of land combat units, 11 types of air combat units, and 9 types of naval combat units in the basic mode;

There are seven basic modes of two-star land warfare, six types of air combat units, five types of naval combat units, and special operations soldiers of the same biological level as the Scout... It's hard to get anything new.

However, this kind of standardized transformation is also a matter of course for an interstellar empire army with tens of millions and hundreds of millions of members, after all, the cost of personalized gene modulation is much higher, but in this way, it becomes a dream for the brood to complete the third evolution in the 'Sand Starfish', and there is no point in continuing to stay here.

If you can go back to Asencurt Star with these remnants, it would be really good...", but forgot that although the brood is still a little short of the evolution threshold, it is also close to the critical point of breakthrough, although the mercenary trial trip of the 'Sea Sand Star' encountered terrible accidents and experienced all kinds of thrills, but at the same time, it also saved himself at least a few years of effort to collect the genes of the three-star creatures.

After thinking for a while, swallowing the ration of food into his stomach, Zhang Muzi secretly prayed that he could escape from the battlefield smoothly;

While standing up, he walked along the footsteps of Lei Nu to a big green tree, sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and recuperated. (To be continued......)
