Hundreds of years ago, Planet M was called the Death Planet by the Andromedans because there was a famous land of death to the north of the city of Manrati.

The magnetic field there is disordered and there is quicksand everywhere. Even the most battle-hardened mecha warriors will be like a bird with broken wings when they reach the land of death.

But now Lu Ke was desperately running towards there. He was in a mess, and his only weapon was thrown away somewhere during his escape.

Although he was exhausted at this moment, he didn't dare to stop at all, because there was a group of terrifying interstellar killers chasing him closely.

Sweat flowed into Lu Ke's eyes. He had long lost his sense of direction and could only run forward relying on his body's instinct.

He had done all kinds of bad things in his life, but he had never regretted it as much as he did now. Not long ago, he witnessed the tragic deaths of his loved ones. He hated it, but he didn't want to die yet.

At this moment, a shield-like object suddenly flew up from the sand in front. Lu Ke was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by the air flow. At this time, the group of interstellar killers also arrived.

Lu Ke struggled to get up, but he was so exhausted that no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain.

Looking at the interstellar killer approaching step by step, Lu Ke's eyes were filled with fear. He hated it very much in his heart, but he kept begging for mercy: "Don't, don't kill me, I can testify, I can incriminate Xiao Li Kefei, tell Ye..."

The words of begging for mercy came to an abrupt end as the cold long knife was pulled out from Lu Ke's chest, completely ending his life.

Starkiller threw down the evidence incriminating the Keffe family and quickly disappeared into the sand. Not long after they left, a blue mech landed at their previous location.

The blue mecha scanned the situation at the scene and then sent out the recorded images.

Wen Yi put away his personal terminal and walked to Huo Linyuan's side. At this time, they were deep in the mine.

Qi Yan stayed in Huo Linyuan's pocket, curiously looking through his clothes at the flashes of light that were slithering around in the cracks of the rocks like little snakes.

These flashes are liquid gold, which are usually attached to the lower layer of high-quality rare gold ore. Once vibrated and the structural layer is broken, they will flow around like water. Some will even seep deep into the cracks in the rocks, making them difficult to be detected.

Therefore, to mine liquid gold, it must first be "locked up" and then collected using special equipment. This work is very time-consuming because the process is complicated and large-scale mining cannot be carried out.

What Qi Yan was seeing now was the "trapped" liquid gold. These liquid flashes that looked like electric currents covered the stone walls around them.

A barrier like a water film covered the surface of the stone wall, trapping all the flashes within the film. As the water film shrank, the flowing liquid gold gradually gathered together.

Huo Linyuan took out a transparent glass tube with a hollow metal pattern from the space, and then inserted it into the water film.

Then, Qi Yan saw those liquid lights rushing into the glass tube like fish seeing bait, and Huo Linyuan did not withdraw his hand until the entire tube was filled.

"The Ye family succeeded. According to the prior arrangement, the investigation team has passed the evidence to the Kefei family. I believe that the two families will take action soon." Wen Yi said.

Huo Linyuan put the liquid gold into the space, then took Qi Yan out of the mine, and said to Wen Yi: "Notify the advance team to take action."

"Yes!" Wen Yi paused and said, "Han Jian is already waiting outside."

After Huo Linyuan came out of the mine, a man wearing pure black light armor and a mask jumped off the aircraft.

He walked up to Huo Linyuan and knelt on one knee: "I have fulfilled my mission and have arrested all the fugitive researchers on Aolai Star. They are now being taken to the main star system and handed over to General Lovis."

"Thank you for your hard work." Huo Linyuan nodded to him, "From now on, you will take over from Wen Yi and be responsible for all matters concerning the mine. Team One will be temporarily handed over to the others to follow up."

"I obey your orders!" Han Jian stood up and stepped aside. His aura was very restrained. Even though it was bright outside, he was like a shadow hidden in the shadows, making it easy for people to ignore his existence.

Qi Yan looked at this man full of mystery, and couldn't help but recall the description of the dark night.

Dark Night is a secret organization. They are the force cultivated by Marshal Huo for Huo Linyuan. They are only loyal to Huo Linyuan, similar to the existence of ancient secret guards.

The organization is divided into seven teams, each with thirteen people, all of whom are elites with extraordinary abilities.

They only obeyed Huo Linyuan's orders and never showed their true faces. It was said that the only ones who had seen their true faces were Gan Sui, the captain of the Dark Night, and their master Huo Linyuan.

Han Jian is the deputy captain of Dark Night, but he also serves as the captain and is fully responsible for the deployment of Dark Night.

Because in the article, the identity of Captain Gan Sui has always been a mystery. It is said that he has a dual identity, and no one knows who he is except Han Jian and Huo Linyuan. Until the end of the article, Gan Sui's true identity was not revealed.

Ever since Huo Linyuan was injured, the work of connecting with Anye has been handed over to Wen Yi.

"Make arrangements and prepare to return in three days." Huo Linyuan gave the final order to Wen Yi, which meant that within three days, the power in Andromeda would be reshuffled, and Planet M would be completely incorporated into the military's sphere of influence.

Ever since this order was issued, Huo Linyuan seemed to have suddenly become busy.

Qi Yan curled up on the soft cushion specially prepared for him, leisurely reading the "storybook" prepared for him by Huo Linyuan, and occasionally taking the time to glance at Huo Linyuan next to him.

It has to be said that the saying 'serious men are the most handsome' does make sense. Qi Yan felt that she could not immerse herself in storybooks. It was all because of Huo Linyuan's influence on her, and it was not because the stories in the books were not exciting enough.

Although this story book was not very interesting to read, Qi Yan did not forget his original intention. Learning interstellar language was his top priority now.

Moreover, he could see that Huo Linyuan was really busy. Since they came back from the mine, Huo Linyuan had not rested except for helping him take a bath and doing daily mental power tests.

It was not until this moment that Qi Yan intuitively felt how difficult it was to be a marshal of an empire.

Although he was worried about Huo Linyuan's health, Qi Yan did not dare to ask him to put down his work, because he knew very well how serious the current situation was. Once they let down their vigilance, the enemy would take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, the only thing Qi Yan could do was to work hard with him, but Qi Yan did more than just accompany him. He would occasionally make some noises other than studying, or manipulate the 'encyclopedia' to say a new sentence he had learned.

And every time at this time, Huo Linyuan would stop what he was doing and relax with him for a while.
