Chapter 857: Space Base
[Welcome new and old friends to join the penguin flock 249085350 and start grabbing red envelopes at 7 o'clock tomorrow night and New Year's Eve!] ]
Alan stood in front of the side porthole, and at this moment, outside the window was the deep space of the universe. On the left, a huge nebula is swirling, looking like cotton wool from a distance, with a thousand colors, and it is fainting. Vibrant, weather. Add a lot of color to this monotonous space. It looked like the nebula was within reach, but in reality, Alan knew it was far away. How far away? It may not be possible to fly for ten days and a half months.
The location of this flying ship is a different weather.
It is lonely and desolate, as if it has come to the edge of the universe. It is extremely incompatible with the thriving weather of this star field, and there is no star everywhere, but there are several meteorites in the pile of rocks.
Another figure was reflected in the window.
Alan didn't have to look back to know who it was, and said, "Can't be contacted?" β
Catherine, who had lost a scorpion spear, looked lonely with only a folded snake sickle in the armor pouch on her waist. She held the tactics board and shook her head: "It's too far away to send the message back to the Garden of Eden, we're out of touch." β
"Expected." Alan flicked the porthole with his finger: "Look, how beautiful that nebula is. β
"Now you still have the heart to look at this." Catherine put away the tactics board: "We're in a terrible situation, and this ship doesn't know where it's going to go." β
"Hell, perhaps." Alan said casually, then turned around with a bright smile: "But with you, there is no difference between hell and heaven." β
"Didn't you think we might not be able to go back?"
"If you can't go back, you can't go back." Alan smiled bitterly: "I just didn't have time to say goodbye to Lucy, and I don't know if I'll be angry with me." β
I don't know if there may be no possibility of returning this time, Catherine's eyes softened, and she gently leaned on Alan's shoulder. Eren reached out and naturally wrapped his arms around her thin waist. She closed her eyes and said, "In the year of heavy snowfall, the king snake attacked our village. That day, my father, who had forgotten what he looked like, was served as a meal by the king snake. Before I was eaten, he wanted me to live. So I survived, but this time, I probably won't be able to keep that promise. β
Alan tightened his hands and said lightly: "It's not too early to talk about this now." Anyway, I won't give up until the end. β
Catherine looked at him in surprise.
He looked out the porthole, at the nebula that was drifting away like cotton, and said, "Because I have promised to live." If she dies without doing anything, she would be so sorry. β
The nebula surged with color, weaving Lanny's face, and like a bubble phantom, it flickered and disappeared.
Catherine didn't know it was her? Or is he?
"Young Master!"
Belmode came to the two with a solemn face and nodded to Catherine. There was undisguised surprise on her face, and after Catherine got rid of her indifference, she just wanted to let people hug her arms and protect her. Seeing Belmode, Catherine quietly brushed off Alan's hand and left the shoulder she was temporarily leaning on. Standing up straight, she turned back into the federal major general who could stand alone against the army.
"What's the matter?" Eren withdrew his hand, which had a faint red mark, and looked at his servant.
Belmode turned to look ahead: "You may have to take a look." There were seven points of anxiety and three parts of mystery in his expression. Alan could guess why he was anxious, but the mystery was impossible to guess anyway.
If he couldn't guess, he shook his head and glanced at Catherine.
Wait for me here. Catherine read the meaning of that glance and smiled and nodded. Xuan was stunned again, when did he and him have a heart-to-heart. Then he was slightly angry, thinking that she was much stronger than him, so why should she listen to him. But she still found a quiet corner to sit down, since her father died in the belly of the snake, there was nothing to wait for, and it was worth her waiting. And now, there's finally one.
Then Lola came, and the wild Hurma woman slammed her giant sword to the floor with a loud voice, and almost burst out of her mouth: "What is your relationship?" β
According to his previous temperament, the snake sickle should be fierce this time. But now Catherine was in a particularly good mood, so she blinked, looked up, and said, "Guess? β
Lola probably couldn't guess it, or guessed it and didn't want to accept it, so she would rather not guess. Alan didn't have to guess, when he came to the porthole at the front of the wheelhouse, he saw a planet.
This is a gray-white planet, lonely in the dark curtain of space, quite a taste of independence. There was no need to be too surprised to see a planet, as was the case with Hubble and Talikova. But Alan and Belmode looked at each other, and the gray planet brought back memories of them. On that day on the heavenly star, Vera had prophesied with a painting that was related to a gray-white star. To this day, both of them remember the dead silence and desolation of the painting.
It's just that there were a lot of things after that, not to mention Belmode, even Alan himself forgot about it. It was only at this moment, when I saw the gray and white planet hanging in the canopy in the distance, that I remembered Vera's prophecy again.
Could it be that the planet foreshadowed by the girl, the death star on which Eren will encounter extremely dangerous things, is the one in front of her?
Suddenly, Alan had a hunch that the ship's terminal had arrived.
No matter what, the spaceship always moves forward at a constant speed. Even if you don't want to come, it will always come. Whether or not it was the Death Star predicted by Vera, the gray-white star was firmly enlarged in front of the porthole. Two hours later, Alan finally got a good eye on the planet.
The planet is dead.
That was his first thought.
But not dead yet.
This is the second one.
I saw that the gray and white planet was only half of it. The underside of the star is already half disintegrated. Looking from the spaceship, you can still see a gray dragon trailing beneath the star, which is all composed of disintegrating planetary fragments. They scatter in all corners of the universe and will probably dissipate after many years. And now, this gray dragon is like a gray waterfall flowing out of the stars, and the tension of death is exhausted in silence.
So strictly speaking, it's a dying planet.
If you look at the ecosystem of the star, it is indeed dead. Even the force field has disappeared, otherwise the star would not have collapsed. It is said that it is not dead because of the many antennas, fortifications, various lights that flicker from time to time, and many cone-shaped objects that rise from the surface of the planet. Of course, these things are not natural things of the planet, but are artificially installed.
The function is unknown, but at first glance, this Death Star looks like a Star Destroyer. That kind of super giant ship as big as a planet, with the strength of Idahuaxing, is only one built. The planet in front of him is naturally not a Star Destroyer, but it has been modified to a certain extent, and there is no way to know what it can do. When the ship glided down to see the other side of the planet, everyone on board was dumbfounded.
The planet circled, and from the angle below, the star was almost hollowed out. Even though the planet is pitifully small, it is less than half the size of the Moon. But no matter how small it is, it is a planet, and the hollowed-out star is full of many construction fortifications, like a huge base hidden in the star. The sphere is vacant in the center and is secured with metal armor on all sides. It seems that these fortifications are not yet complete, and the space engineering ships can be seen hovering in them, and even the Gray Giant carrying things with his bare hands.
Everyone in the airship looked at each other, who would have thought that the alien race would secretly build a space base here!
At this moment, the spaceship is flying towards the space base in the star body. In the distance, a beehive-like mooring dock can be seen, one of which is slowly raising the armored warehouse door. Two traction beams poked out from inside, directing the spaceship where Alan and the others were inside. There is no doubt that it was this space base that remotely controlled the spaceship, and it seems that it should be the terminal of the mothership.
At this moment, in this alien space base, in the command hall of the core area. A lanky figure in a black robe stood on a high platform, suspended in mid-air, with a ring of gravitational devices firmly holding the platform firmly in place below, and could be moved freely through the console. Surrounded by a circle of light screens, each reflecting a corner of the space base. Everywhere you look, you'll see fortifications under construction.
At this moment, a Gree giant floated up to the high platform and said respectfully to the black-robed man who was less than one-tenth of his height: "Lord Belukai, Lord Ohm instructed that the recovered M317 escape ship has entered Pier 8, please instruct me on the next move." β
Two clouds of faint blue flames suddenly lit up in the hood of the black robe, and then a shrill voice rang out: "Ohm, that stupid pig, can't even hold the Pioneer Trumpet. Doesn't he know what this mothership means, His Majesty Frius's hard work was destroyed by him at once! β
As a fellow Gree, it would not be pleasant to hear his boss being scolded. They often called the Cato wild boars, but that didn't mean they were happy to be called pigs by others. But the giant didn't dare to be angry, after all, the one standing on the high platform was the supreme general of Agareth, known as the fire demon Bellukai. Not to mention him, even the expulsor didn't dare to take a breath in front of this big man.
It's a pity that Alan wasn't here, otherwise he would have recognized that this figure was the alien life he saw in the chaotic canyon of the Frost Star that day.
BerukΓ© walked back and forth, bursting blue flames from under his black robes. The giant stepped back cautiously, he didn't want to be touched by these seemingly beautiful flames, not even a handful. Brukai finally stopped, and the two ghostly flames in his hat lit up: "Without the Harbinger, the most important step of the Death Star Project cannot be completed. I'll have to start the backup plan, you listen, wait for Ohm to come back and tell him. Anyway, give me the good Death Star until I get back! β
Then he brushed his sleeves and left.
"My lord, what about the escape ship?"
Beirukai suddenly turned his head and spewed out two blue flames from the darkness of the hood: "Don't bother me with this kind of trivial matter, how else can I deal with it?" Since there are intruders hiding on that escape ship, kill them all! You know, you guys who are as stupid as Cato's barbarians! β
