Yuan Yuxue's movements paused slightly, and he was still a little puzzled when he thought of the strange promise that the senior had given him at the end. He just lowered his eyes quietly and said, "It's not a big deal."

It just explained some problems that Yuan Yuxue hadn't noticed before.

Xiao Xiao listened to Yuan Yuxue's tone, and thought that things were not going well, so he didn't continue to ask, and changed the topic with haha.

……

The promise that the chief had made for Yuan Yuxue did not come first. But it was the chief's political enemy, arguably the old adversary, who came first.

Of course, Yuan Yuxue didn't know this.

Others don't know what's going on.

"G223." The adult sitting on the high seat, with an inexplicable look of interest, deliberately clicked on this number.

"Bring him here, and pick a hundred others to carry out the mission."

This is the first time that the officers who come from above will deliberately "name" a number.

You know, if they had to give orders, it didn't matter who the people were, as long as there were enough of them. Whoever called these seventh-layer people in their eyes was probably the same weak and deceitful, and there was nothing to pick on.

Is it true that when choosing a flock of sheep to graze, do you pay attention to which one is stronger and which one is leaner?

And the consul does not know whether this "special" is not only a preferential treatment, but also a harbinger of some kind of bad news.

The adults on the fifth floor were too far away from them. Of course, they wouldn't know if those fifth-level people were still the long-standing secret information between the two commanders who were the fifth-level rulers. I felt very honored to hear the other party call Yuan Yuxue to come over to perform the task.

It's probably a kind of thought, "Since a certain chief of the fifth layer admires Yuan Yuxue so much, then the other fifth-layer chiefs will also appreciate Yuan Yuxue".

What's more, Yuan Xuxue is indeed very good, and it can be seen from the fact that he didn't enter the sixth layer, and so many people feel sorry for him - the people in the seventh layer in this background are not very thoughtful, pure and good, and have a simple personality, which can make them all worry more than jealousy, but there are very few cases.

So the leader quickly informed Yuan Yuxue that there was a special new task. There was still a slight flattery in his expression.

"It was specially ordered by an adult." He said.

Obviously, they all felt that after this mission was completed, Yuan Xuxue's merits would probably be enough to move upward, so of course they had to take the opportunity to curry favor.

And the two people in the same cabin as Yuan Yuxue were also selected.

Xiao Xiao volunteered to go - for the sake of him who seemed to have a good relationship with Yuan Xuxue and his ability was not weak, of course he was chosen.

Ah Yan is favored because of his outstanding ability. He can always be found in some of the most dangerous (and of course) missions. It is said that he was kicked down from the top because of a crime...... Even if it is the glory of the past, it shows that he is indeed very capable.

Therefore, although Ah Yan has a bad temper and is a lone ranger with little popularity, the consul still chose someone with outstanding ability like him to carry out such an important task.

This group of people representing the top abilities of the current seventh layer was brought to the front of the chief.

It was different from the previous commander's condescending and unstoppable look of disdain. He looked at them with a very polite gaze, his eyes slightly curved like fox eyes, with a slight smile.

His gaze swept over this group of young and strong seventh-layer people, and landed on Yuan Xuxue's body with unmistakable accuracy.

He looked at it carefully...... This number is the young man of G233.

heard that an enemy changed his temperament and "condescended" to help a seventh-level person; When he heard that the person he was concerned about was a very handsome young man, he really wanted to crook for a moment, thinking that this might be the low-level lover that he was interested in, so he would bother to transfer him up.

Admittedly, he probably had something to say.

Because although the people in front of him are okay in appearance, they don't seem to be able to make people dizzy, and their identities can't be easier to plunder beauty.

Is it really the ability to be really outstanding?

He heard that G233 had killed three Zerg with only the most basic weapons. I thought that was an exaggeration.

Or his sworn enemy has covered up the credit of other people, and only one person will naturally make him successful in promotion.

But if he is really good, he can't be allowed to stand out as the enemy's right-hand man.

There was a hint of murderous intent in the chief's eyes.

He bowed his head slightly and asked the people around him to assign the task.

His adjutant stepped forward and his tone was businesslike and stern:

"The starship is about to shuttle into the I1007 star field, and it is predicted that the exploration will collide with the adult belly ant colony. In order to protect the drive in the C7 area from being stopped or damaged by the eggs and secretions of the abdominal antworms, you will be sent to guard and strangle approaching zergs between 13:00 and 15:00. ”

Antworms are a special branch of the Zerg, and they don't normally attack humans - but they have a peculiar racial habit of laying eggs in places where energy overflows, and then sealing them with secretions.

For example, passing by the drive of a starship.

They can even use the starship's route to spread their eggs to farther star fields - a characteristic transmission path and colonization method of the interstellar era.

When the seventh-layer people heard the new task, their faces turned white.

Even if the antworm does not actively attack humans, if they want to prevent it from laying eggs and breeding, it is actively hostile.

Abdominal ants also eat meat.

There is no difference between humans and the meat they taste.

So this task is very dangerous, in the face of the colony of belly ants, you have to hold on for two hours, do not let them lay eggs, and do not be eaten clean by knocking bones and sucking the marrow?

You must know that the most difficult task they have taken on before is nothing more than going out to repair the thrusters. It's just that in the course of the mission, I ran into a few megalodonts by the way!

Fighting against the real and the Zerg are two concepts.

So much so that even the leader of the seventh layer had a slight stiffness in his smile. His face was a little pale, and he cautiously asked the commander, who was two ranks above him: "...... Am you mistaken? ”

"My lord," he said with a sad face, "we are the seventh layer, and besides, fighting the Zerg doesn't seem to be part of our mission, right?" ”

They had no powerful weapons and no training to do so.

Before the adjutant could speak, the commander bent his fox-like eyes and said as if he was very reasonable: "That was before—isn't it very powerful now?" I've heard that you have a man who can kill three megalodonts alone, and if you want to deal with the colony of belly ants, there won't be any problems, right? ”

"The population on the starship is decreasing, and those adults at the top have the will to train the people of the seventh layer as guards, so I will help the adults expand the experiment first." His tone was so gentle, and the words he uttered were more vicious than the most venomous pit viper.

These words are simply roasting Yuan Desire Snow on the fire.

Even a player like Xiao Xiao, who only thinks about the book and doesn't put his mind on intrigues, can directly hear the malice in it.

Of course, Yuan Yuxue also knew that the other party's sharp hostility was aimed at herself.

It is even very possible that this mission was born because of itself.

There is nothing wrong with saying that others were implicated by him.

But his expression was still calm, and his fine eyelashes covered his beautiful dark eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

This kind of unaffected calmness even seems a little cold and ruthless at this time.

And the chief's gaze fell on the calm and excessive face, and then fell on the stretched and slender fingertips of Yuan Yuxue hidden under the gray long sleeves. Confirm that his state is really relaxed, not fake composure.

He withdrew his gaze thoughtfully.

It's funny, because you're sure you'll survive this mission?

But if you have escaped today, you will never be able to avoid the next catastrophe.

The leader this time is the kind who is more responsible for the people he brought over. He won't be able to calm down, after all, this is the best group of people under him, if they all fold here, they can be repaid?

He could only ask pleadingly: "Great, great, but they really don't have that ability, I'm afraid that they are stupid and delay the mission, if the drive is damaged because of this, even if they don't apologize for their crimes." Let's think about it again, maybe we can change to a more relaxed task......"

His bargaining gesture made the adjutant's brows raise high, and he was about to rebuke him angrily, but he was pressed down by his commander again.

The adult replied with a smile in a nonchalant tone: "Don't worry, if the number of people lost is too large to take care of the safety of the driver, I will rearrange the alternate person." ”

He avoided the important and trivial, as if he was answering the consul's question, but it was an excuse to block the other party.

He wants this group of seventh-layer people to fight to the end.

Of course, the drive will not be damaged, because if the group dies, he will arrange for the right person to be on top.

INTERVIEWER Why didn't you replace it in the first place and engage in this meaningless, resource-wasting act?

It's also very simple.

He just wanted them to die.

The undisguised ruthlessness in this made the seventh-layer people who received the orders below agitated. Make an irrepressible noise.

Ah Yan, who had a bad temper, seemed to have even the red hair that stood up slightly under the stimulation of anger, making it even more bright and dazzling. The look on his face was gloomy, staring at the chief on the stage, and he cursed two very dirty swear words. Then he stepped forward slightly, and the scars on his face looked even more hideous and vicious at that moment. His fists were clenched, and he could faintly see the green tendons emerging from his arm, showing how fierce the power that arm might contain, as he stepped forward, staring at the chief, ready to make a move—

Yuan Xuxue's voice came from behind him, and the tone was cold, like a debore-relieving rain in summer, which made Ah Yan calm down and stop his pace suddenly.

"Sir, I have a question." Yuan Yuxue has been here for the past few days, and she has almost figured out the technological level of this starship. Although it is slightly weaker than the level of technology he perceived, it is generally the same structure, so it ......

"The starship should be equipped with an autonomous defense system to prevent the invasion of the abdominal antworm and lay eggs, so why do you need to spend manpower to carry out the guard mission?"

Any starship that is allowed to sail should have this kind of infrastructure.

This is especially true for a starship of this magnitude.

In fact, this question should have been raised when they were sent out to repair the thrusters.

Repairing in this near-primitive way is certainly no faster and more efficient than directly activating the starship's defense system.

It's just that when Yuan Yuxue just arrived at the dungeon, she had already started the first stage of the task, and there was no time to ask.

Later, when I came to the outside of the starship, there was no need to ask.

But now, it seems to be an opportunity.

The chief thought Yuan Yuxue was very interesting.

Most of the people on the seventh layer are not aware of the proper equipment and equipment system on the starship.

However, Yuan Yuxue knew that he was not too surprised, he just thought that this was what his enemy told Yuan Yuxue.

At this time, he struck him with interest, "Little friend, are you thinking too naïve, do you know how long the starship has been sailing in the interstellar space at the moment?" ”

Of course, Yuan Yuxue didn't know, but fortunately, the other party helped him answer this question.

"Year 371."

"Three hundred years is enough time for the system to age and the equipment to wear out. This kind of precious combat reserve, of course, should be used at a critical moment, why do you think that the starship should use it in order not to sacrifice hundreds of people? ”

The chief seemed very calm when he said this, because he knew very well that among these "hundreds of people" even included himself.

The status of these weapons on the starship is much more noble than that of most people.

Considering the service life and wear and tear of the main defense system, Yuan Yuxue actually thought about this problem about the long-term lack of base stay and supply, resulting in the system not being easy to use.

He simply asked in a calmer tone, "What about the branch's reserve defense system?" This can be replaced at any time, isn't that just for the sake of that? ”

The man looked at him in surprise.

However, he quickly thought that as mentioned in the information, Yuan Yuxue had only recently landed on the starship, and since this was the case, it seemed normal not to be clear.
