I am a retired rider in Xingtie, and I am loved by players.

After that, Pam coughed twice and changed the subject: "Okay, go and sit down. The final preparations before the train jump are about to begin. We are going to the next stop."

"So where is our destination this time?"

Xing blinked curiously.

"The train's next destination is a very small planet numbered 'Yalil-VI'."

Before Pam could speak, Jizi answered her question first: "According to the records in the think tank, it is a lush and very beautiful planet."

"However, a long time has passed, and perhaps there have been earth-shaking changes there..."

"Wow, that's really exciting!"

“I really want to see what it looks like.”

After a few minutes, the jump was completed——

Everyone stood in front of the car window, looking at the lifeless planet covered in ice and snow not far away, and fell into silence for a moment.

"Uh, where is the train taking us? Is this still the Yalilo-VI?"

"In terms of common sense, yes."

"This change does seem to be quite big..."

"This isn't a little big, it's too big!"

Chapter 31 Another Star Core

"Thousands of years have passed, and Yalilo-VI has become like this..."

Looking out the car window at the planet covered in ice and snow not far away, Ji Zi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Thousands of years had passed since the train last visited Yalilo-VI. She had expected some changes to happen to the planet, but this scene still surprised her.

What is this? A direct regression from the interstellar age back to the ice age?

"Is this white planet really our target this time?"

San Yueqi increasingly suspected that the train was taking them to the wrong place.

Isn't it said that this is a lush and beautiful planet? The planet before us, shrouded in severe cold, does not fit this adjective at all.

"Yes, I'm sure this "exploration" journey won't be easy either."

Ji Zi pondered and nodded, she already had some answers in her mind.

It is impossible for a mutation of this magnitude to occur on this planet in such a short period of time. There must be some special factors that catalyze it.

The most likely factor is——

"The space reading is abnormal! The star track stability has dropped to 12%!"

At this moment, Pam on the side suddenly said in a serious tone:

"The docking plan has changed. The docking time at this station has been extended from 7 days to indefinitely until the abnormality is eliminated!"

"Ah, indefinitely?!"

Hearing these two sentences, Xing was dumbfounded on the spot. Although Yilu, who was standing by, had known that this would happen, she also showed a slightly surprised expression in order to cooperate with Xing's performance: "What's going on? Why did it take so long to stop?"

"Take a normal land train for example. If you are traveling halfway and suddenly find a collapsed abyss in front of you, the train has to stop."

Ji Zi explained the current situation of the Starry Sky Train in a way that was easier to understand: "Only by eliminating these abnormalities and repairing the collapsed areas can the train continue to move forward."

"Yes."

Pam nodded and emphasized again: “If you move forward again, it may lead to terrible consequences!”

As the train conductor, it must be responsible for the safety of the lives of all passengers on the train. If it continues to jump when the star track is affected, even it does not know what will happen.

"Alas, it's like this again."

Knowing that this trip plan was going to be ruined again, San Yue Qi couldn't help but sigh. She had already guessed the reason and said with a bit of helplessness in her tone:

"Needless to say, the abnormal star track this time should still be caused by that reason..."

"Well, the results of the preliminary tests are out."

Uncle Yang came over and nodded to Sanyueqi, then looked at Xing and Yilu who had just joined the train and didn't know the situation yet: "The source of the anomaly is the "star core."

The core of a star is made of the same material as the core implanted inside the star.

The train's multiple abnormal conditions are all related to the star core blocking the star track. Its appearance will bring about drastic changes in civilization and ecology, and will also cause space distortion phenomena such as rifts in some areas.

"Space distortion..."

Listening to Walter's explanation, Yilu couldn't help but think of the analysis that Heita had made during the first physical examination.

At that time, Black Tower believed that her memory was disturbed and determined that she accidentally encountered time and space turbulence during the battle with the Zerg and was teleported to another universe through the rift.

In a sense, Heita's guess was completely correct. She was indeed caught in the cold wave of "memory" at that time, and the thing that could transfer her away from the already frozen galaxy was most likely the star core.

When chatting with Walter before, Yilu learned that the place where the Star Train picked her up was actually near a star core. At that time, they had just solved the catastrophe caused by that star core, and on the way to the next stop, they found her floating outside the window.

Ok……

I always feel that things are becoming more complicated. Could it be that the adult did it too?

If necessary, I think we should go back to where the star core is.

"The reason why Yalilo-VI has become like this is inseparable from the influence of the "Star Core"."

Following Walter's conclusion, Ji Zi expressed her opinion with a serious expression: "According to our guess, the "star core" is a disaster seed that a certain star god has spread to various worlds. If we don't eradicate the source of the disaster, then "development" will naturally be out of the question."

"So, we have to go down and take a look?"

Xing asked curiously.

"Well, you're right."

Walter nodded gently, looked out the window at Yalilo-VI which was almost completely engulfed by the cold wave, and slowly said: "Looking at this planet from our perspective will give you the illusion of omniscience. When you actually stand on that land, you will realize your insignificance and ignorance."

A simple translation is: You are not a star god, how do you know what happened if you don't go down and see it yourself?

Following Walter's gaze towards Yalilo-VI, Ilu's eyes stopped at the only warm place on the planet - a fortress city called "Beloberg".

According to the records of "Beloberg the City Builder" in the game think tank, thousands of years ago, this place was a fascinating tourist destination. The arrival of the Star Train connected the star track to this planet, bringing it trade prosperity and extraterrestrial technology.

But a thousand years ago, the fall of a star core changed everything. The antimatter army brought the war to this planet, followed by a cold wave that came from nowhere. Its sudden appearance engulfed the surface of the planet and plunged the future of Yalilo-VI into an abyss.

Uh, you're asking if I was responsible for the cold weather here?

Although her ability is related to "memory" and ice, Ilu can guarantee that the cold wave of Yalilo-VI has nothing to do with the bullet she fired.

Putting aside whether the timing was right, if she took action, not only Yalilo-VI, but also the entire star system it was in would not be able to escape the disaster of the cold wave. Perhaps it was the "time when thousands of stars went out" that attracted Fu Li's attention, and thus he set his sights on her...

However, the question is, if I also get off the bus with San Yue Qi and the others, how can I explain my ability to freeze "memories" into ice? It would be easy for me to be regarded as the mastermind behind the cold wave, right? !

"Ilu, Xing."

Without noticing Yilu's inner worry at the moment, Jizi turned to her and the gray-haired girl beside her and said, "I hope to leave this pioneering journey to you two. Sanyueqi and Danheng will be by your side to assist you."

Chapter 32: Just Move Forward

"Great! It's a big adventure!"

Xing looked excited and seemed interested in getting out of the car and exploring with everyone.

"Uh... I don't have any opinion."

Because she was worried that she would cause unnecessary trouble to others, Yilu wanted to refuse tactfully, but when she thought that this was her first time to participate in a group activity of the train crew, and she had an inexplicable obsession in her heart, she changed her mind and agreed without hesitation.

So what if I'm regarded as an enemy by the locals? It just adds a little difficulty. I'm the galaxy's number one assassin who once killed a breeding order alone while surrounded by billions of insects. Am I really afraid of such a small thing?

As a pioneering person, if she becomes a coward when faced with difficulties, can she still be considered pioneering?

We can't just follow others and become a deserter. What if something happens to Sanyueqi and Xing and the others down there?

After thinking about these three questions, Yilu already had a clear answer in her mind - no matter what the messy consequences might be, she just wanted to go on an adventure with everyone.

Dan Heng dared to risk his life to run to Xianzhou to look for someone, and he was not afraid, so why should I be afraid? I just need to move forward vigorously and that's it!

"But why does it feel like our configuration is exactly the same as the Star Core Hunter?"

After hearing the list of people involved in this operation, Yilu couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Dan Heng faced off against Blade, she faced off against Sam, and even though Xing and March Seven didn't have much in common with Kafka Silver Wolf, if people saw this situation, they would easily associate it with the Star Core Hunters and their group.

She hoped that people wouldn't mistake her for Sam when she walked on the street in the future. She didn't want to take the blame for the Star Core Hunter for Firefly...

If she really can't escape this disaster, then next time she does something bad, she will claim that she is a star core hunter, at least she won't cause trouble to everyone in the train crew.

Of course, this is just a joke.

Unless she suddenly turns evil one day, she should have no reason to do bad things.

……

After receiving the pioneering mission assigned by Ji Zi, Yilu followed Xing and Sanyueqi to find Danheng who was looking up information in the think tank.

In order to better carry out the next task, some preliminary investigation and exploration must be done to obtain sufficient intelligence, and this part of the work is usually entrusted to Dan Heng, the administrator of the think tank.

"I conducted a preliminary survey. This planet should not be completely destroyed. There is an area on the surface with a relatively normal temperature."

"So, we have to investigate this place first?"

"The existence of a normal place on an abnormal planet is something unusual in itself. If it were me, I would usually prioritize such a place for investigation."

"Well, let's go over and take a look!"

After deciding on the investigation site, the group packed their food and drinking water in foldable backpacks and landed on a snow-covered wasteland.

"Yarilo-VI, we're here."

"Hiss... It's so cold here, it must be dozens of degrees below zero."

"The snow and wind are so strong that I can't see the road ahead clearly."

"Put on the winter glasses I gave you. They can quickly melt the ice and snow that falls on the lenses and will not block your vision."

The howling wind and snow were like sharp blades scraping across the face, making it impossible to open one's eyes. The temperature around was also terribly low. Sanyueqi and Xing subconsciously wrapped their down jackets tightly. Even though they had a warm layer inside to keep out the cold, and with the blessing of "pioneering", they still couldn't avoid the cold air from seeping in through the gaps in their clothes. The changes on this planet were more serious than expected.

In the game, you can wear cool clothes and run freely in the snow, even if you have a breast window. But if you do this in reality, you will probably be frozen solid.

Fortunately, the train crew knew that the surface environment here was extremely harsh before landing on Yalilo-VI, and they made adequate preparations for it.

As for Yilu and Danheng...

Well, one of them is the Vajra Dragon Lord, so he is naturally not afraid of the cold and just wore a cotton coat to deal with it. The other one summoned the Snow Firefly Mecha directly after landing. Walking on this freezing cold snowfield is like returning to her hometown. No one is more suitable for free exploration on this planet than her.

Because of this, after discussion, the train crew decided to let Ilu act alone occasionally and send her to those cold areas that no one else could reach to collect useful information.

Of course, the more important reason was her Snow Firefly Mecha - for some reason, after she entered this planet, the Snow Firefly Mecha suddenly became excited, and was always eager to make Yilu move in a certain direction, which made her feel a little troubled.

After walking with everyone for a while, Yilu felt the desire to fight rising up in his chest and decided to part ways with everyone for the time being:

"The target area should be ahead. You guys go there first. I'll go look around somewhere else and deal with the world-shattering creatures here."

No, she couldn't hold back the excitement of the battle any longer, she had to go find some world-ripping monsters to kill.

After saying that, she spread out the elytra behind her and turned into a blue meteor and flew away into the distance.

……

"By the way, if Ilu goes alone, nothing will happen, right?"

Looking at the Silver Knight leaving alone, although Xing knew Ilu's strength, he still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

No one knows what kind of dangers are hidden on this planet. What if Yilu accidentally encounters one...

"Don't worry. I've heard her say before that she used to carry out missions alone. If there were too many people, it would hinder her performance."

Sanyueqi waved his hand, signaling Xing not to care too much about Yilu's affairs.

In her eyes, although Ilu has not been a member of the Star Train for long, he is also a very reliable companion.

It was precisely because everyone trusted her that they unanimously agreed to let her act alone.
