The boss of the last days is a salted fish in the interstellar world

Chapter 211 [211]

I was busy until about three o'clock in the morning, and finally completed the layout of all the areas I was responsible for.

Shi Jin raised his eyes and looked upward. The broad forest branches and leaves covered the sky, making it impossible to see the bright stars. The surrounding area was also plunged into pure blackness.

The light on the mecha's chest shines brightly, attracting many phototactic insects flying in front of it at night. They are so densely packed that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Returning to the gathering place agreed upon with Shi Zhi at the beginning, the young man was already waiting there.

The light on Shi Jin's mecha's chest flashed towards him, and it seemed that the person coming was him. Shi Jiu looked back at her and said calmly: "Then go back."

The task is completed tonight, and there are only a few hours left, so I need to take a short rest. Starting from early tomorrow morning, there will be a tough battle to be fought.

From evening to now, there has been no sound from Ling Shuang and Jiang Yan. Shi Jin is not worried about the boy. With his strength, he will have no problem against Ling Shuang. But what is a little strange is that Jiang Yan has never had a fight with her. Contact, even after the layout was over, she sent him two messages asking about the situation.

During the team mission, it was necessary to keep in touch at all times. The boy's situation was a bit abnormal. She tried to send a communication request to Ling Shuang again, but also did not receive any reply.

A bad premonition came to her mind, and she immediately applied to open the collective positioning of the five members of the team. Shi Ji glanced at her doubtfully through the blue-light electronic screen, "What are you doing?"

"I can't contact Jiang Yan. Check the location. You can use your communication to connect." Shi Jin said.

Six or seven seconds later, Shi Jiu said: "My communication application was not approved either."

"Where is Ling Shuang?"

"Same."

"..." Shi Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and gritted his teeth gently.

After the collective positioning and connection of the five people was successful, the full map was displayed in front of Shi Jin. Only Shi Zhu and Xie Yinci accepted the invitation, but Ling Shuang and Jiang Yan were still not among them.

At this moment, it seemed that Xie Yinci, whose face had been guarding the Victoria Fortress, was no longer calm.

The newly popped up communication screen showed the slightly downcast face of the black-haired boy. His eyes were as dark as ink, deep and cold, and he looked straight at Shi Jin. His red lips opened and closed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Senior Shi Jin... Do you know where Xiaoshuang went?"

"Crazy." Shi Jin sneered unceremoniously: "I was also about to ask you if you had secretly attacked Jiang Yan. Otherwise, why wouldn't I be able to contact him?"

"Xiao Shuang can't defeat Jiang Yan, there's no way she'll lose contact with him."

"Don't act stupid, you know who I mean by 'you'," Shi Jin said.

However, the young man said in a cold voice: "Whether you believe it or not, this time, 'we' did not do anything related, and I can't find Xiaoshuang for the time being."

"..." Apart from Xie Yinci and that damn white-haired giant baby, Shi Jin really couldn't think of anyone else who had the ability to make Jiang Yan lose contact.

The only thing that was a little surprising was that Xie Yinci couldn't get in touch with Ling Shuang.

Whenever the boy mentioned girls, it was a rare sincerity and tenderness. Therefore, no matter how hypocritical and cunning Xie Yinci was, he didn't look like a guy who could make fun of Ling Shuang. If the worry shown by this guy now was true. Yes, then Ling Shuang and Jiang Yan might have really been taken away by a third-party threat.

It's useless to stay here and complain and ask questions. The most important thing is to seize the time to search.

Shi Jin was too lazy to argue with Xie Yinci anymore, so he transferred to the area responsible for Jiang Yan and Ling Shuang, and directly filled up the thrusters.

Shi Ji frowned slightly when he heard the sound of the mecha's engine and asked indifferently: "Where are you going?" "In the west area of ​​the fortress, I have to look for Jiang Yan."

"You——" Before the young man wearing gold glasses could finish his words, the mecha's body in front of him flew away and disappeared in front of him in just the blink of an eye!

Once again, the boy who clearly sensed the difference in strength between the girl and him shrank his pupils, and the darkness in his eyes spread, carrying an extremely complex emotion.

The red dot belonging to Shi Jin on the map was moving towards the west area with a speed visible to the naked eye. It only took less than 3 minutes from the time she left to the time she entered the layout position where Jiang Yan and Ling Shuang were responsible.

There are probably only two kinds of ardent hopes Shi Ji has for Shi Jin in his life.

Or, die early in the furnace so that her father won't be in crisis by saving her.

Or - reborn from the ashes in the furnace, use her mental power to break the barrier that imprisoned her, and escape on her own.

Unfortunately, the first one is hopeless.

But now, the second one comes too late.

The hand hanging by his side slowly tightened, moving together with the mecha.

The light is low and the atmosphere is silent.

After a while, Shi Jiu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, those eyes had returned to their former indifference and calmness.

The young man also fully activated the propeller and was about to return to the Victoria Fortress when he suddenly caught an unusual movement.

He paused, then silently turned on the monitor at the heel of the mecha and looked at the water beneath his feet.

The forest lake is extremely quiet at night, but the quieter the place, the more eerie it feels.

Shi Ji didn't make any big moves. He just moved forward tentatively, pretending that he was not aware of any potential danger.

really!

As he prepared to leave, the underwater roots of the giant trees that had been dormant in the forest lake for a long time suddenly attacked the boy's back like the mutated monsters set in the Star Network training ground!

Shi Jiu's eyes were sharp and dark, and he turned sideways to avoid the roots shooting out from the water!
By the light on the mecha's chest, thick threads covered with spikes emerged from the water like giant twisting snakes, densely packed as if they were pulling people into a snake cave.

The young man was slightly startled, as if he was shocked for a moment by this scene in the forest.

After all, those ultra-realistic mutated monsters are usually only seen in games at the Star Network Training Ground. This is the first time Shi Ji has seen such strange giant tree roots in reality.

He focused his eyes, controlled the mecha to dodge and counterattack, and fired the beam cannon towards the lake, causing thousands of huge waves to rise on the lake!
However, it is unknown whether the beam cannon is useful against these arrogant guys, and in this situation where the enemy is outnumbered, after a brief analysis, it is absolutely impossible to fight against them.

The young man made a quick decision and left, turning around and fleeing. Before leaving, he recorded the appearance of these monsters.

If you want to report an emergency to the emergency management office, something like video will be the best evidence.
