Star Sea Hunter
Chapter 759 The Shadow
In the base commander's office, Lieutenant General Hudar came out of the fitness room and moved his fat body into the special chair behind the desk with some difficulty!After panting for a while, I started to deal with the official duties of the day.
He said it was official business, but in fact, most of it was his own business!The general's recent days have been very pleasant.
As the supreme military officer guarding the ancient wormhole, he doesn't need to take care of too many things, as long as he implements the daily training plan of the officers and soldiers!Then, within a fixed time period, routinely report the movement here to the imperial capital!The rest of the time, basically do what you like, no one comes to ask!
He was a major general of the former Shuofeng Empire. When Yun Haoyu invaded the Tianhua Starfield, he also defected along with his superior officers and surrendered to the new regime.Then, he was sent to this place.
It's not that the new regime deliberately squeezed him out, but that he felt that he was getting old, and he was only a few years away from retirement, so he didn't want to go to the battlefield again, and planned to change to a more stable position, so that he could stay in peace until the day he was disarmed and returned to the field!So here we are.
At first glance, this seems to be an extremely dangerous job, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the gatekeeper of the "gates of hell"!In fact, only he himself understands how much benefit he has gained in his own pocket after staying in this place for several years!
Since the countries near the wormhole have disappeared, this large star field has become a land of no one!As the highest military officer here, he is the one and only earth emperor!
The days of guarding the ancient wormhole are dull and boring!He was very quiet and wanted to move, and soon discovered something that could bring him great benefits!
After coming here for three months, he has "collected" countless good things on many abandoned administrative planets!Jewelry, various cultural relics and antiques, artwork, limited edition spaceships, speeding cars, and all kinds of luxury goods!Quite a lot of things are brand new goods that have not been opened in the warehouse!
The Borosto people mainly plundered the population, and they didn't care much about these objects in the human world. After the war subsided, these abandoned star fields became unowned. In the ruins of countless large cities on the administrative planet, various All kinds of good things are naturally available!
In the star field near the ancient wormhole, apart from their legions, no outsiders had the guts to come over, so his plan to make a fortune was not affected in any way!Even the group of subordinates who brought him have shared a lot of benefits!
By sending cronies to "pan for gold" on these planets, after collecting enough good things, they are secretly transported to the empire, sold through some secret channels, and the monthly income is astronomical!Over the past few years, his accumulated wealth is enough to make him a rich man in the entire empire!
What was originally regarded as a drudgery in the eyes of many colleagues has become a cornucopia of money in the hands of this general!This is what they did not expect!
And in the past one or two years, the general who has already reaped enough benefits has set his sights on those unowned mines again!Spend money to secretly order a large number of robotic workers, specially picking those precious minerals to start with!After the raw ore is processed and refined, it is secretly transported to the empire for sale!
Counting the money, he got cramps in his hands, and he has fallen in love with this position deeply!And made up his mind to stick to this position until the group of devils came back.
After looking at the financial statements for a while, he spoke to the biochemical adjutant next to him and said, "Go, invite Generals Liu Kun and Lipps!"
The other party went out after saluting, and after a while, a major general and a brigadier general walked in.
These two are his confidantes, one is in charge of the "gold rush" on the planet, and the other is in charge of the sales of the empire!
"Your Excellency, Commander, why did you call us here?" Major General Liu Kun, who was about the same size as him, asked.
"Hey! It's nothing!" He said, "Since last month's income has increased by another [-] percentage points, let's add up and get some equipment over here. There are too many resource planets worth mining! You have to make the most of it, it's all money!"
"What the commander said is true!" Brigadier General Lipps agreed, "The empire is about to unify the star sea, and the time left for us to make a fortune is running out! We must take advantage of this opportunity and hurry up to make some money!"
"However, I heard that there has been a lot of rumors about the Ministry of Security of the Empire recently!" Liu Kun said with some concern, "Many organizations that do underground business have been eradicated! Even our channels have been severely affected. Less influence! So the subordinates think, should we keep a low profile first, and wait for the wind to pass!"
Once what they are doing here is known by the higher authorities and the media, it will become a big scandal for the Imperial Legion!With His Royal Highness Su Shangqing's style, all of them will be sent to the electric chair, and their homes will be ransacked for takeout!
Hudal rolled his eyes and asked, "Can we recruit some people in the Ministry of Security for our use? This way, we don't have to worry about attracting the attention of some big shots after we expand our business!"
"Your Excellency! You should know that this is impossible!" Liu Kun smiled wryly, "Master Su Shangqing is not a fool! Over the years, have there been fewer big shots in his hands? He really wants to see something What, we are going to be in bad luck!"
"Then what should we do now? Can't we just give up like this?" Hu Daer was a little annoyed, jumped up and said angrily:
"These are all vain source crystals, source crystals! How can we just throw them away like this? Do you know how much our annual salary is? God puts so much wealth in front of us. If we don't exhaust ourselves If I can get as much as I can, I feel sorry for my conscience!"
He has regarded this starry sky with a radius of tens of thousands of light years as his own private domain!Everything on the territory is naturally his own private property, so he must find a way to move everything back!Even a little bit less can make his heart bleed with pain!How could it be possible to let the glistening source crystal slip away for the sake of so-called safety? ?
"But, Commander, we have to do this now!" Lips was still clear-headed, and persuaded tactfully:
"We just have to bear it now! It's not too late to make money after the limelight is over! I heard that not only His Highness Su Shangqing, but also His Highness Luo Hanxing has left the imperial capital and is patrolling the Northeast Xinghai area! Maybe he will suddenly run away from us at any time." It's coming! So it's better to be careful!"
"No, no, absolutely not..." General Hudal shook his big head like a drum.
Just as the generals were blushing, the surrounding void trembled suddenly, and an extremely obscure and inexplicable energy fluctuation spread! It brought bursts of indescribably cold and icy breath!These guys were so shocked that they all stopped talking!
"What happened?" Liu Kun asked in surprise.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" An adjutant rushed in regardless, with a pale expression:
"The No. [-] ancient wormhole has started to respond! It is expanding under the influence of unknown forces! It seems that something is coming!"
Hudal only felt his brain buzzing, and his body, which was as fat as a mammoth, was about to collapse!Almost fell head over heels!
Could it be that the group of devils are about to fight back?Not so fast!Doesn't it mean that there are at least ten years left?
Doesn't that mean that all the million-odd fleet stationed at the entrance of the wormhole have to be reimbursed here?Can't even escape?
As one of the officers who survived that tragic battle, Hudal was very aware of the horror of those devil-like intelligent creatures!
"You...are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Liu Kun suddenly grabbed the adjutant's collar and asked tremblingly:
"At this time, how could there be a response at the entrance of the wormhole? Could it be that the instrument is malfunctioning?"
"Your Excellency, this is true!" The adjutant replied with a sad face, "You don't need any equipment, you can see the problem with the naked eye! You can go to the observation room to see for yourself!"
Without saying a word, Hu Daer rushed out with his feet up!Dragging a body weighing several hundred kilograms, his agility is no less than that of an ordinary high-level ability user!
The observation room was not far away. When he rushed in in a hurry, his eyes glanced at the huge light screen in the center of the room, and he opened his mouth stupidly, speechless for a while!
Around the star system where the ancient wormhole is located, there is a huge cloud of interstellar dust!Covering most of the bright starlight projected from the square sky!
Against the background of the dark, bleak void, three ancient wormholes are quietly suspended in the air, like three deep cosmic shafts, and like three hell portals leading to the endless abyss!
The diameter of one of the wormholes has gradually doubled, and there is a strange black light seeping through it!
As the expansion trend gradually accelerated, the palpitating cold atmosphere became more and more intense!Even a fool can see that something big is going to happen!
"Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do now?" All the officers looked at Hudar in unison.
"What else can I do? Notify the entire army and immediately enter the highest alert state!" He wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and ordered:
"All the main guns of the fortress are recharging, ready to attack! Also, report the situation here to the imperial capital immediately! Let's say that group of devils are coming again!"
The officers responded one after another, and each went to convey the order!But everyone understands that this move is nothing more than chatting about human affairs!No matter how well he played, with such a small force, he would never be able to stop the devil creature rushing over from there!
The wormhole expands extremely fast, and after only ten minutes, it has reached a diameter of hundreds of kilometers!A dark object finally poked its head out from inside, and it extended rapidly!
As time goes by, its full picture is gradually presented to everyone.It was a huge black asteroid!The surface is as smooth as a mirror and as black as ink, with countless huge patterns with strange styles and intricate details!
The pattern is three-dimensional and undulating like a living thing, thick black mist surrounds the planet, making the planet body looming, like a god from the depths of hell!
The cold, gloomy, and desperate atmosphere of fear became more and more intense, almost completely destroying the minds of the officers and soldiers present!
"All the main guns of the fortress, lock the target, and bombard with full power!" Hu Daer suppressed the fear in his heart, and ordered through gritted teeth.
Hundreds of thick beams of light cut through the void and shot at the planet in unison!
The black mist on the periphery of the planet rolled lightly for a while, swallowing the astonishingly huge destructive energy silently, without even a single aftermath!
Immediately afterwards, a black halo emerged from the mist, and spread in all directions extremely quickly!In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the star defense system!
Hudar watched helplessly as the strange halo passed through his body, and then, a touch of dead gray quickly spread on the surface of his body. In just two or three breaths, he had already turned into a haggard, like a Mummies of mummies!
"Damn it, I have saved so much money, I haven't had time to spend it yet!"
This was the last thought in his heart before his consciousness disappeared...
He said it was official business, but in fact, most of it was his own business!The general's recent days have been very pleasant.
As the supreme military officer guarding the ancient wormhole, he doesn't need to take care of too many things, as long as he implements the daily training plan of the officers and soldiers!Then, within a fixed time period, routinely report the movement here to the imperial capital!The rest of the time, basically do what you like, no one comes to ask!
