Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 653 The Hunter in the Starry Sky

Six months ago, experts from the Earth Federation Academy of Sciences developed the first space battleship based on the drawings and models provided by Qiao Mu.

After nearly a month of testing, this battleship, which carries the entire Earth Federation's interstellar dream, carried thousands of soldiers and other personnel from the first detachment of the Earth Federation's Second Army into space.

This is a carnival for all Earthlings.

People paid more attention to this interstellar exploration mission than Han Moqin and Xiao Qiao's live broadcast.

After all, the carrying media of the two are different, and there are always some conservative people who think that Han Moqin and Xiao Qiao are putting on a show, and think that those scenes are artificially constructed.

Even the flying dragons in the world of "How to Train Your Dragon" are guaranteed to be computer-generated special effects.

If it weren't for Qiao Mu's strict restrictions on people from other planes entering the earth, Ke Muxin and others would have liked to let a few alien plane creatures go around the earth.

In any case, one month after the battleship took off, the live broadcast to the earth was cut off. Although there were some flaws, it was generally within the expectations of experts.

Few people know that the trajectories and pictures of battleships can always be monitored in the Time and Space Tavern.

The reason for all this is naturally related to Su Mo, the commander of the battleship.

As the "lucky guy" who signed the permanent contract, Su Mo's every move can be monitored by the tavern.

For his young chief, there were many opponents in the army, but two months ago, the voices of those objections became quieter.

In addition to his punching two "soldier kings" from different countries, it was also because of his actions in the past few months.

Many times, he tried his best to change the route of the battleship, which made the battleship avoid meteorites and black holes from space again and again.

Even the few battleship "experts" who thought they knew extraordinary things about ground battleships were full of praise for Su Mo.

But at this moment, Su Mo is in trouble.

In other words, the entire battleship has encountered a huge crisis!

"Sir, Charles... is missing!" A white soldier saluted Su Mo, his eyes extremely red.

Charles was his comrade in arms. The two came from the same hometown and even secretly cheered to join the Union Army.

But now, his best friend has disappeared mysteriously.

This kind of disappearance is not on the earth. There is only one ending for disappearing in space, and that is death without a place to die!

Su Mo nodded and said, "I understand, strictly investigate and monitor."

He stood in the control cabin, looked at the three-dimensional light curtains in front of him, and felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart.

Two days have passed since the first person disappeared.

In the past two days, 32 of the [-] soldiers and support staff in the fleet have disappeared.

The 32 disappeared without warning.

Even the monitors covering the entire interior of the battleship can't see who the enemy is.

He clenched his fists involuntarily, feeling strong anger in his heart.

However, his anger quickly subsided, and instead he and the other officers and staff stared closely at the light curtain in front of them, and looked at the computer screens of the staff from time to time, trying to capture some clues.

The entire battleship no longer had the relaxed atmosphere it used to have, but was filled with a kind of tension and panic.

Whether it is soldiers, scientists accompanying the army, medical staff, or even chefs, they all appear to be on high alert.

Their every move dare not leave the monitoring range, because the missing people proved to them that leaving the monitoring range is likely to be death!
"Could it be some kind of alien that secretly landed on our battleship?" Su Mo asked his deputy as he looked out the window silently.

It was a white man with a thick beard named Grace. He was muscular and a master fighter. He also had sharp eyes like an eagle and a cunning brain like a fox.

He served in the U.S. Marine Corps and was a lieutenant colonel before joining the Union Army.Later, he was favored by Su Mo and became his hand-picked deputy.

Hearing Grace's words, Su Mo frowned, and said noncommittally: "Probably an excellent hunter."

In fact, he had already noticed something was wrong.

In this interstellar exploration, the warships have stopped on six planets in total, among which they arrived at a green planet three days ago.

When everyone excitedly thought that there might be plants there, which became another possible habitat for human beings, they discovered that those greens were not plants at all, but a strange gas.

During the short stay for half a day, Su Mo had keenly felt that something seemed to have infiltrated the battleship, but he still couldn't find it.

"Could it be a monster like an alien?" Grace asked with a thought.

Su Mo took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said bitterly, "Even so, I will catch it and chop it into pieces!"

"I think it's probably the reason why it has been afraid to show up." Grace said.

He couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed: "That guy must know that he is not strong enough, so he can only attack us secretly!"

But just as his voice fell, he heard someone behind him shouting: "It has appeared, my God, it has appeared!"

Su Mo and Grace looked at each other, joy flashed across their faces.

When they ran behind the speaker, they saw his face was pale and his lips were trembling.

"Where is it?" Su Mo asked.

The soldier turned his head stiffly and said, "Sir, do you really want to see it?"

Grace hit the soldier's head hard with her hand and said, "Did you save the video? Open it quickly and let me see what this son of a bitch looks like!"

The soldier turned pale and clicked the return button on the computer.

Gradually, Grace's face changed, and Su Mo's face also flashed a dignified look.

On the screen, a black soldier was walking in the aisle, and a shadow suddenly appeared behind him. Then, the soldier's head began to disappear, followed by his body, and finally his feet...

It was as if there was some monster in the darkness, swallowing him from top to bottom in one gulp.

"I think it must have a big mouth." Grace tried to break the panic-simmering atmosphere.

Then, he saw the soldier staring at him with wide eyes, the fear in his eyes almost overflowing.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Then, he felt a chilly wind coming from behind.

Before he could say anything, Su Mo punched out suddenly, and his fist seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. The power made Grace's heart palpitate.

However, what he saw right after him was the shadow of Su Mo flying upside down and hitting the window of the podium.

A drop of warm liquid fell on his neck, and just when he thought he was going to die, he suddenly saw a black shadow rushing towards Su Mo who was struggling to get up.
