Colonial Suit

瀚海 Star Territory…

Source of the Wasteland.

This is an abandoned planet. Although it is also in the civilization sequence of the offset plane, no one has cared about it for a long time. Human mercenaries implement a 'free-range' policy in this plane. Unless it is a planet that is being watched, most people on the planet will never see the shadow of a cosmic mercenary in their lifetime.

They live and develop on the planet, passing on from generation to generation. Wars break out between tribes and countries, vying for resources in novel chapters. Chieftain nobles are domineering and the lives of civilians are difficult. In this process, some civilizations have perished, and some civilizations have developed, becoming huge empires. But no matter how they develop, they are like all the birds trapped in cages, never seeing the outside universe. What's more, even if they get out of the cage, they are still trapped in an offset plane.

They think this is the world.

They are pitiful because they can never come into contact with the truth.

But they are also happy because they know nothing.

The gale… swept through the sand and dust, whistling past.

Blood瞳 stopped, bent down and put his hand into the sand. When he took it out, there was an odd scorpion between his fingers.

The scorpion struggled desperately, trying to sting Blood瞳 with its poisonous hook, but it couldn't pierce Blood瞳's skin no matter what.

“Eww… what a disgusting monster. Mr. One. Why did you take it out? The environment here is bad enough. Seeing it, I might not be able to eat dinner tonight.” Mei Ding said behind Blood瞳 with a bitter face, carrying a large backpack. A layer of imperceptible energy shield rippled around her body, protecting her from the wind and sand.

In fact, it has been half a month since they left Kirk Planet, and Mei Ding has been traveling around with Blood瞳. This is a novel experience for Mei Ding, who is leaving the planet for the first time.

She is very happy and doesn't want to miss any scenery, even on such a harsh planet.

Anyway, with the protection of the mercenary equipment, no environment can stop me. She thought happily, and her pace became even lighter.

However, she didn't quite agree with Blood瞳's behavior, because Blood瞳 never used equipment to resist the invasion of the environment.

When the wind and sand came, he stood in the wind and sand, letting the wind and sand blow against his skin. He endured the high temperature and heat without changing his expression, just like an ancient rock. Not only that, but he also liked to hunt local beasts like ordinary people, tasting primitive and rough food. There was a lack of civilization in his actions, but there was more of a primitive and wild taste.

He integrated into nature, just like in the distant x35.

With a slight pinch of his fingers, he crushed the poisonous scorpion's carapace, and then Blood瞳 threw it into his mouth, crunching and chewing. The luse venom flowed down the corner of his mouth, and the tail of the poisonous scorpion was still swinging near his mouth, which made Mei Ding feel disgusted.

“It tastes very good.” Blood瞳 said to Mei Ding. “It's full of the feeling of wind and sand. Would you like one too?”

“Oh, never mind. I still prefer mercenary food, even if it's portable.” Mei Ding declined politely, but a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

Blood瞳 shrugged, then stepped forward again…

They have been on this barren planet for two days. Although they knew it was an abandoned planet before landing, Blood瞳 still decided to come down and take a look. Because he didn't know why, he always felt that this planet seemed to be a little different, and there was something attracting him.

The two walked in the desert, climbing sand dunes one by one, and finally… saw a little luse on the horizon. Mei Ding immediately became happy.

“Oasis!! It's an oasis!! I saw it in the data a long time ago. It's real! There really are oases in the desert!!”

“Is this common sense?” Blood瞳 sighed. “What's so exciting about it?”

“How can I not be excited?” Mei Ding widened her eyes. “It is said that the oases in the desert are extremely beautiful, as dazzling as pearls. Sweet and river water, gentle breeze, and forests swaying in the wind. Oh my god, I remember that ancient wandering poets used many gorgeous verses to praise it, it must be indescribably beautiful. I can't wait to go over and take a look.”

“Uh?” Blood瞳 was stunned. “Have you seen an oasis in the data?”

“I haven't seen any images, only written descriptions. Hehe, Mei Ding also likes to read ancient literature.” Mei Ding said proudly. Obviously, in today's technologically advanced world, being able to bury oneself in those ancient books is also a qualification. Worth being proud of.

However, Blood瞳 just shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile. “If you want, then let's go take a look. By the way, should I carry your backpack for you?”

“I don't want to! As an excellent nurse, I must be conscientious and responsible. How can I let Mr. One carry things for me?” Mei Ding turned her head. “This is the nurse's job.”

With that, she hopped to the front and ran towards the oasis.

Behind him, Blood瞳 shook his head helplessly, revealing a hint of playfulness.

Of course the oasis is 'beautiful', but the beauty of the oasis is definitely not sensory beauty, but the meaning it represents.

Exposed to the wind and sand all day long, even a fool knows that this place cannot be picturesque, with green mountains and clear waters. The reason why it is praised is because in this endless desert, it will bring people hope and the continuation of life. For a hungry and thirsty traveler, what could be more beautiful than it?

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

So when Mei Ding stepped into the oasis, the exclamation that followed was predictable.

“Oh my god… it's just a puddle. And a few bushes. Is this called an oasis?” Mei Ding's voice came from afar, seemingly a little angry.

Blood瞳 smiled slightly and followed. “Otherwise, what did you think it was? There are indeed oases with good scenery, but it is absolutely impossible for them to appear here. That requires relying on rivers to appear. As for places without rivers, it's good to have a puddle.”

“It's so annoying, people thought they would see a dreamlike beauty.” Mei Ding pouted unhappily. “I wouldn't have come if I had known it was this kind of thing.”

With that, she approached the puddle, seemingly wanting to see if there were any creatures inside.

But as soon as she got closer, she jumped back and exclaimed again.

“Ah! Someone!!”

“Huh?” Blood瞳 was stunned. Suspicion arose in his heart. Wasn't this planet abandoned long ago? There isn't even a civilization, how could there be someone?

Thinking in his heart, he followed up in a few steps, and then saw the scene that Mei Ding saw.

Sure enough, there is a 'person'… but a dead person.

It was a humanoid creature that looked like a lizard, half of its body soaked in the water, already a little pale. The corpse had rotted in the high temperature, emitting a strong stench, and many maggots could even be seen.

But none of this is the most important thing. The most important thing is that on this lizardman's body, Blood瞳 saw many scars.

Scars from swords and blades. (To be continued…)
