The whole empire is urging me to marry again [Interstellar]

Now that the handsome guy has decided to go to the mine tunnel to find out what's going on in person, and let me follow instructions in all actions, then I just happened to see how the handsome guy arranges his work when I'm not there.

Although the promotion of the handsome guy this year has a lot to do with me, but his own ability must not be bad, otherwise it would not be possible to play a key role in the Battle of Sareney, almost annihilating the Imperial Army .

At the same time, the false identity of the handsome guy "died" in the war, which perfectly ended the work of the spy.

Sometimes I still wonder, if Odaisy knew that the handsome guy had brought such a big loss to the Imperial Fleet, would she sit down calmly and negotiate with the handsome guy?

I'm afraid not, Odaisy might be able to kill him first and then me.This woman who aspires to be the second Majesty Arthur is no less courageous than a man, and she even dares to do things that even a man is not sure about.

For example, usurpation.

The times are always changing, but they will always return to similar nodes, and the long-term will be divided and the long-term will be combined, just like an endless circle.

It's just that, no matter how similar the endings are, the people who achieve the endings always have different starting points, and the process of achieving them is also different, which also leads to the difference in the nature of the endings.

It's like before the handsome guy and I were together, most of his actions did not consider the consequences, and he forged ahead single-handedly, with a kind of momentum that was not afraid of death.

After meeting me, although the handsome guy has not become very conservative, he still puts himself in danger when necessary, but his original intention is quite different from the original one, not for promotion or revenge, but for protection.

Didn't someone say that protection is the most powerful force.

Seeing the handsome guy arrange work in an orderly manner, I feel that this is another very novel experience.

If the handsome guy wants to go down the mine tunnel, he can't just go straight down with the mech on his head, not to mention me, even if he doesn't say anything, I can tell that he is much more cautious than when he acts by himself.

The handsome guy first gave the people in the mech repair department a chance to "make a contribution" and asked them to rush to make a mining robot overnight. They spared no materials and installed a stealth system on it, which can integrate the robot with the environment and prevent the underground from mining. The creature smelled metallic on it.

Since almost all the robots in the mine have been "eaten", the only one that is fully functional is the "cute baby" in Julian's arms. Julian can only contribute his own baby to make the team a Only a big "cute baby" that is four or five times bigger than the original one.

When this big "cute baby" was delivered to me, I almost didn't laugh out loud - those inorganic red eyes, and tight jaw, looked more like a handsome guy from a certain angle!

The handsome guy knew my mood changes very well. He looked back at me suspiciously, but he still didn't understand where my smile was: "What? Did you find any problems?"

"No." I shook my head and looked at the handsome guy with a smile, "Didn't you tell me to listen to you, I am now a soldier under your command, I can fight wherever you want me to, those strategies, deployments, etc. stuff, I don’t know anything.”

Handsome Guy: "...It's not that you don't want to think about anything, but...forget it, that's fine."

The handsome guy patted my head helplessly, then turned his head to study the black shadow on the screenshot. He didn't wake me up who was drooling until he was almost done recording.

"Hmm... are you leaving?" I rubbed my eyes and yawned again, still a little sleepy.

"Yeah." The handsome guy handed me a bottle of refreshing nutrient solution, "Get ready and go."

"Okay." I took the nutrient solution that the handsome guy gave me, without looking at the label, and downed it in one gulp.

The taste is okay, with a little sweetness, which is a bit different from the bland nutrient solution I usually drink.

I didn't ask the handsome guy where he got the nutrient solution. It's probably either Secretary Cole's idea, or Hans got it from the black market. These are not things I care about.

I just need to know that the handsome guy even takes care of the taste of the nutrient solution, that's enough.

After drinking a bottle of nutrient solution, my brain instantly woke up and my drowsiness disappeared.

So I quickly put on the protective clothing, rearranged the necessary supplies and put them into the space button, and brought the processed coagulated insect blood—in the past few days, insect blood that is easy to carry and will not cause abnormalities in the space button It has replaced the energy stone of mechs and has become the necessary energy source for soldiers.

It didn't take much time to do these few things. In the end, I got fully dressed, stood in front of the handsome guy, and gave him a fairly standard military salute: "Sir, I'm ready and ready to go."

The handsome guy looked me up and down, without hiding his smile: "Then let's go."

I am a person who is serious for less than three seconds, and I immediately returned to my smiling appearance, and I didn't feel nervous at all.

In fact, I'm not nervous at all. Even the handsome guy before the breakthrough, I feel that the monster in the mine tunnel is not enough to threaten him, let alone the handsome guy after the breakthrough.

The current mood... is more like the feeling of a young couple avoiding the crowd and quietly going on a date?

If Secretary Cole found out, she would definitely look at me with weird eyes again.

Only handsome guys always react calmly to me, as if my reactions are normal and there is no need to follow the crowd.Even, I think he likes my being out of place, because sometimes he himself feels a little out of place with the people around him.

After the cabin door of the spaceship was opened, we took "Meng Bao" to the No. 1 worm pit, where the mine tunnel began to be excavated.

At the beginning, we chose this place because Pit No. 1 was big and deep, and the king worms we cultivated were also the most powerful. After discussion, we agreed that digging deeper from Pit No. 1 would allow us to get closer to the mineral veins, so we started here. .

The excavation of the mine tunnel has been going smoothly, and the robot quickly found the ore vein and dug all the way to the depth.

It's just that before mining, these robots were murdered, and even the photos of the "murderer" were very blurry.

The improved version of "Mengbao" helped us open the way in front, and the handsome guy and I followed behind in a two-person mech.Along the way, I didn't speak, the handsome guy was more calm than me, so he didn't speak.

Finally, I couldn't help asking him: "Handsome guy, don't you think there is something special about this mine?"

"I don't think so." The handsome guy said casually.

I pursed my lips, looked at him and said, "Would you... take a closer look?"

The handsome guy still had that indifferent and lazy expression: "I can't tell."

I smacked my mouth and simply stopped talking.

But the handsome guy stretched out his hand, pinched my chin, and made me look back at him: "Why don't you tell me?"

"...Sorry, I didn't go out with my brain today." I said dryly.Seeing how the handsome guy knew everything, but pretended not to know, and made me anxious, I didn't want him to succeed so quickly.

The handsome guy smiled softly: "I'm not kidding you. Did you just want to remind me that from 30 meters underground, there are traces of artificial excavation in the mine tunnel? It's not the kind dug out a few days ago, but it seems like a long time ago Some people have dug through the tunnel, but because of the age, the passage may have been buried by landslides during the movement of the earth's crust. Otherwise, those robots would not have been able to dig so smoothly. They dug such a deep mine from the hard ore in just a few days. road."

I moaned and said, "You already know, what else do you want me to say?"

"Well, although I said you would listen to my command, I never said you would put a zipper on your mouth, so..." the handsome guy stroked my chin a few more times before saying, "Just say what you see. , I don’t feel used to it when you’re not chattering by the side.”

"Okay." I made a movement of unzipping my mouth, "Now that you've said that, then I can speak freely."

"Welcome very much." The handsome guy smiled again.

I scanned the images through the eyes of the mech, carefully compared them and said: "This mine has undergone at least two crustal movements, and the traces on the side of the passage are at least a hundred years old."

"Could it be dug out by the team that came to explore the Skyblue Starfield before?" the handsome guy asked.

"Maybe, maybe not." I took a deep breath, my eyes gradually became complicated, and a very low-probability guess gradually emerged in my heart, but I didn't plan to tell the handsome guy yet. "To continue digging, there will be more evidence."

The handsome guy nodded: "Then take a look."

For a while, in the dim mine tunnel, there were only the searchlight light from the eyes of "Mengbao" and the sound of it digging the tunnel quickly with its two big hands.

We have just passed the place where the robots were collectively destroyed. Except for a few scattered parts, there are no traces of wild beasts crawling there. We haven't collected many useful clues, so we have to go deeper.

The operation speed of the big "Mengbao" is very fast, and one robot can beat four or five of them in the past, but this is also modified by the people in the repair department, and now let them make another one, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it. .

Suddenly, "Meng Bao" stopped moving and turned his head backwards.

And a red alarm flashed in the two-person mech: a large number of creatures were detected approaching.

The handsome guy and I didn't speak, one swung the energy sword, and the other raised the gun and fired three bullets towards the rear.There is no need to discuss in advance who will control the left and right hands. There is a natural tacit understanding between us, and we know what the other party is thinking in an instant.

The handsome guy is a master character in fighting. Even if he fights with a mech, he is better at close-range attacks, and the weapons he uses are more suitable for close combat.But my physique is not good, so I use the bullet-cannon to lock the target within a certain range, and then slowly consume the opponent, which is the style of play I am good at.

In this way, the handsome guy is in charge of melee combat, and I restrict the target's movement from a long distance. The cooperation can be said to be seamless.

This kind of tacit understanding is not only cultivated from the battle of the king worm, long before that, we have always had a tacit understanding, from trivial matters in life to dealing with the star thief group.

So, under the coordinated attack at this moment, we finally saw the true face of the attacker.

It was a huge worm that was very similar in appearance to the king worm. It also had six pairs of fleshy wings, compound eyes full of malice like tumors, and sharp mouthparts!

It's just that this king worm is obviously bigger than the ones that just crawled out from the bottom of the pit. When the wings are flapped, it can't even hear a sound, and its speed is extremely fast, which is why the robots can't catch it.

Its speed is very fast, and it seems to be very intelligent. It knows how to attack people from behind. I don't know how long it has been tracking us, and it has always remained within the range that cannot be detected by instruments.If we didn't think we had let our guard down before we dared to sneak up and attack, we don't know how long it would hide.

However, it is still slightly inferior after all.

The handsome guy's energy sword suddenly turned into three sharp arrows, and he shot the three arrows at the king worm with his bare hands, which hit the three bullet holes I made at the beginning, nailing the huge body of the giant worm to the mine tunnel , and then chopped off its head with a sword, choking the scream it hadn't had time to utter in its throat.

Those venomous compound eyes still kept staring at us the moment the head fell to the ground, as if they didn't want to let us go even after death.

"It's really strange." I frowned, "Even if it is to repel alien species, these bugs react too much."

The handsome guy also showed a heavy expression: "Maybe, this has something to do with the group of people who came to the gray haze star before."

I thought again about the coincidence that the eggs hatched at exactly 24 hours, and now I can almost judge that it is no longer a "coincidence".

"There should be something artificially set deep in the mine." I said, "Maybe that thing will directly affect the reproduction of these bugs, which will make them like this."

"Besides what you said, I can't think of any other possibility." The handsome guy nodded and praised me, "It's very wise for you to open the protective cover when you just landed."

I smiled at him triumphantly.That's for sure, the handsome guy is on the spaceship, so why not be careful.

"Now only by moving forward can we know what happened." The handsome guy came to a conclusion and let "Mengbao" continue the unfinished work.

I briefly contacted Cole and told him what the creatures in the mine were, and told them to be prepared. Since an overlord can come out of the depths of the mine, there may be two or three fish that slip through the net in the future. , pay attention to those mine pits at all times.

Secretary Cole has always been reassuring in his work. Except for his reading tendency, which is a bit worrying, other aspects are beyond reproach. After the job is handed over to him, there is no need to worry about it.

And Cole doesn't seem to be worried about our safety, he is more concerned about: "Mr. Hilde, how long will you and the officer stay underground?"

I glanced at the handsome guy and replied: "If it is fast, it will be 24 hours, if it is slow, it will be a multiple of 24 hours."

Cole was a little surprised by what I said, but still agreed: "Okay, I understand."

"Then we'll contact you when we have something to do." I also nodded to him, and then hung up the communication.

The corpse of the giant worm was also conveniently put into the space button. The blood of the worm can supplement the energy of the mecha, so it cannot be wasted.

Besides, judging from the performance of the king worm after hatching, the blood of the king worm is also fatally attractive to the king worm. Who knows whether the naked insect corpses will attract other king worms, and then quietly Follow us and have a big siege at the end?

Although we've never seen an overlord appearing in swarms, it's always good to be cautious.

In this way, we went all the way, and the frequency of encountering king worms on the road became higher and higher, but the deeper we went, the strength of the king worm was not as strong as the one outside, and we were all alone from the beginning to the end. .

When I was bored, I joked: "Are the king worms all lone rangers, then how do they find a partner to have children and suffer by themselves?"

"Maybe."

Not long after the handsome guy finished speaking, "Mengbao" suddenly hit the stone wall hard, countless rocks and dust fell down, and the ground under his feet shook slightly. Then, a black hole appeared where the fist fell, and the hole was still there. Gradually expand.

From the size of a robot's fist, it gradually expands to the extent that a mecha can enter.

The handsome guy and I glanced at each other, and then followed the robot into the cave. After walking through a short section of dark tunnel, the front suddenly opened up.

It was a natural cave, very large. The exit of the tunnel was probably on the mountainside of the cave. The top was invisible from the top, and there was a light blue fluorescent light below.

Take a closer look, those light blue fluorescent lights are clearly the light from the compound eyes of the king worm!

The piece of blue light at the bottom is the king worms that are densely packed all over the cave!

Even I, who have seen a lot of strong winds and waves, was taken aback by this picture, and couldn't help but gasp: "This scene...is too unfriendly for trypophobia."

The handsome guy had a normal expression. He looked at the king worms seriously and concluded, "They should be in a dormant state now."

"Hibernation?"

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be so quiet." The handsome guy obviously didn't understand why the king worms were dormant here, and the compound eyes changed from resentful red to calm blue.

But this situation is good for us, because we can all see that in the center of the cave, surrounded by king worms, there is a cylindrical high platform, and the mechanical device of the high platform is obviously made by humans.

"That's it." I said softly, "The thing that can affect the king worm is a device left by people many years ago."

The handsome guy nodded solemnly: "Be careful when passing by."

I also had a look of preparedness, and when the handsome guy controlled the mech to fly towards the device, I vigilantly observed the king worms around me.

The king worm still didn't respond, as if it was not the same species as the ones that appeared in the mine.

A few minutes later, the mecha landed on the high platform and slowly walked to the mechanical device in the center.

This device is very large, about the size of a rose and star palace, and the structure on it is quite complicated. For a while, we couldn't see where the entrance was, so we could only walk around it first.

"Have you ever seen something like this before?" the handsome guy asked me.

I shook my head: "I have no impression."

Whether in the database of the Imperial Research Institute or in the memory of His Majesty Arthur, I have never seen such a strange device.It doesn't look like it's used for mining, it doesn't make mechas, it doesn't look like it's used to store spaceships, and if I were to say it, I think it looks like a water pump, but it's too big.

The handsome guy also had no choice but to sigh: "We can only find the entrance first."

Since it is a mechanical device, there will always be a purpose.This device has a history of at least a hundred years, and it seems to be still working, so the person who left it must have a purpose.

"It's not as good as us..." Before I finished speaking, my feet moved again, but the movement was much stronger than before. With the stability of the two-person mecha, they couldn't stand still, and they landed on all fours. In order to stabilize the body.

I feel as if the world is about to be replaced. The invisible pressure generated by the violent shaking always gives people the illusion that the cave is about to collapse.

And in this continuous vibration, we were shocked to find that the eyes of countless king worms lying on the ground turned from blue to red, flapping their fleshy wings one after another, and came to midair.

The dense red compound eyes are facing us.

The handsome guy and I were ready to fight the king worm desperately, but they just glanced at the direction of the high platform, as if they saw a natural enemy, they scrambled to hit the mountain wall first.

It's a pity that there are only a few king worms that can leak out of the hole we came in, and most of them can't even stick their heads in.

At the same time, the pump-like mechanical device slowly spreads hot red from the bottom, and the mechanical lines become more vivid under the red magma rendering.

A mechanical door was gradually formed in the changing lines, and then the door was pulled open, revealing a rectangular entrance.

The two mechas also issued an alarm at the same time, [Warning, a hundred billion level energy unit appeared 500 meters ahead, which has exceeded the detection range of the instrument. 】

One energy unit is one meal of energy stones, hundreds of billions of energy units... Even a super starship can't use so much, right?

What the hell is this thing?

The author has something to say: Shou: What is this thing!Scary!

Gong: No matter what it is, it will be slaughtered.
