The Man Disgusted by Death

That night, the study room of the Governor's Mansion was brightly lit, and Governor Pompas, his steward and the captain of the guard were discussing matters all night.

Governor Pampas is 45 years old this year. He is a rich man with a round face. He came from a declining aristocratic family in the imperial capital.

Although the Zeta 426 colony is still in the development stage, it is rich in natural resources and has amazing energy reserves, and the bright future is completely foreseeable.

The governor thought that he would have to wait until the colonial star was successfully developed before he could develop upwards, but now another opportunity fell from the sky.

"Although we arrived a day earlier, we must entertain these two distinguished guests well," the governor ordered.

"Master, please rest assured." The butler said that the reception work of the Governor's Mansion is carried out in accordance with the highest standards. The full set of brand-name bedding and living facilities brought by the Imperial Capital Galaxy will definitely make the nobles feel at home.

"Okay." The governor nodded, "Karl, you are reliable, I am always at ease." He asked the butler to retreat, then turned to his guard captain Shilts and said, "It is estimated that the distinguished guests will leave in two days. The Hanhai Plateau is here, and you will gather the pioneers tomorrow and give them an emergency training. Well..." The governor pondered for a moment, "Tell them that the safety of the distinguished guests must be guaranteed. As long as the distinguished guests return safely, I will Reward them with a thousand contribution points each."

Shields looked distressed, "My lord, I have gathered more than 50 people this time. I'm afraid the budget for this year's contribution points is not enough."

"Oh." The governor was taken aback for a moment, and then changed his words, "Then let's give bonuses, one hundred thousand yuan per person, from my private account, and special prizes for outstanding performance. But if things go wrong, you have to accept punishment , ah, no, don't screw it up!"

The fat on the Governor's face trembled, he stood up abruptly, and paced the room anxiously, "Remember, you must not mess up! Even if the others never return, you have to give those two I'll bring it back!"

"Yes, my lord." Captain Hiltz raised his hands in salute.

"Shilts, the entire governor's mansion, no, the future of the entire Zeta 426 is tied to this." The governor stood still in front of the captain of the guard, and said sternly: "Once something happens to those two, our entire planet will not be able to bear it." The thunder of the Empire is furious."

Hearing the governor's escalation of the matter, Captain Shields was shocked, "My lord, the identities of those two..."

The governor beckoned and asked the captain of the guard to come over.

mom,

Today I went to the Governor's Palace, the house there is magnificent.

The training ground of the Governor's Palace Guard.

The crowd in the dark green frontier regiment training uniforms and the black guard uniforms formed two distinct parts.

Captain Shilts beat the two groups of people equally, and then let the guards go out for mecha training, and then he divided the pioneer group into four groups and appointed the captain.

"I won't say much. You are all elites who have been in the army for many years. Everyone knows the danger of the vast sea plateau. My request is to protect the safety of the two adults at all costs. Of course, the governor will not treat you badly. Everyone." Captain Shilts saluted, "For the Empire!"

"For the empire!" All the pioneers expressed their loyalty with one word.

"Of course it's for the money." Ma Sen, who was waiting to receive the equipment at the door of the weapon room, sneered, "It's just a few boring big shots going to the Hanhai Plateau to die. It's nothing to do with the empire."

"Keep your voice down." Mason's friend, the old Cheng, stopped him: "The person who can make the governor's mansion so nervous must have a lot of background."

Another person muttered, "It doesn't matter what his background is, for the sake of this hundred thousand seclusion, what a trip to the vast sea."

Lu Zhao nodded silently. One hundred thousand is the annual salary of most people, and those with less seniority like Lu Zhao can't earn this amount, so he is very happy.

Lu Zhao doesn't care at all about the fact that the big shots from the imperial capital galaxy are going to go hunting on the perilous vast sea plateau. He only knows that after this mission, he will be able to save 30 yuan.

Do you send it back directly, or buy something you need at home?

After receiving the weapons, there was a little commotion in the crowd again.

"The latest marine suit." Mason was speechless. "I remember that our regiment leader applied for it several times, but none of them was approved. The Governor's Mansion is so rich."

"Didn't you see the mechas of the governor's mansion guards? There are ten Land Thruster M3s." Someone answered.

"M3? Damn, we only have a few outdated M1s in our regiment, so we need to be careful to rotate them." Mason said.

"So." Lao Cheng shook his head, "There is no comparison between people."

On the second day, the Governor's Palace Guards and the Pioneering Regiment took three transport spacecraft and escorted a Sailboat to fly to the Hanhai Plateau.

The Hanhai Plateau is located in the hinterland of the northern continent. The plateau formed by the crustal movement hundreds of millions of years ago is covered by dense virgin forests. Because the edge and the rest of the continent are blocked by steep mountains, the creatures there are very different from other parts of the continent.

The Hanhai plateau has been classified as a protected area by the 'Planetary Ecological Diversity Council', so not only are there no pioneer groups, there are no adventurers.

"An interstellar spaceship can already run wild in the vast sea, so what do we need so many of us to do?" Old Cheng looked sideways at the porthole of the spaceship and said to himself in the seat in the front cabin of the spaceship.

"Maybe we need some people to be cannon fodder." Mason next to him muttered.

"Can't you say something nice?" Old Cheng was disgusted.

Ma Sen ignored Lao Cheng, turned to Lu Zhao on the other side and said, "Lu Zhao, I'm relying on you."

"Ah?" Lu Zhaozheng was touching the cluster gun that was just issued yesterday, and raised his head in a daze when he heard the sound.

Ma Sen said seriously: "It's dangerous, you must tell me in advance."

"Okay, I'll try my best." Lu Zhao nodded.

A few hours later, the four spaceships landed on the shore of a plateau lake. The Hanhai plateau is deep and densely forested, and there is only such a large open area by the lake.

This lake has no name on the map, but its area is not small, at least over [-] hectares.The roar of the landing of the spaceship alarmed the birds living near the water and the herbivorous beasts on the shore. Before these animals heard the news and fled, the people on the transport spaceship had already rushed out.

The ten land propulsion units of the Governor's Palace guard scattered around, followed by two pioneering teams, responsible for cleaning up dangerous animals and harmful plants, and then choosing a suitable location to set up laser protection fences, while the other two pioneering teams stayed near the spaceship to clean up Weed and pitch tents.

Yes, tents for the big shots on board.

It stands to reason that there should be more comfortable cabins on the Sailboat, but if the big man wants to get close to nature and enjoy the countryside, of course the Governor's Mansion dares to do so, so he also brought several luxury tents and various living facilities with him.

Lu Zhao’s job is to clean up the weeds left by the mower robot. The robot mower in the Governor’s Mansion is very smart, and it will work automatically after setting the area. However, the weeds cut are too much, and the robot’s small trailer can’t fit in it. , will be thrown on the ground in bundles.

Lu Zhao and several members of the Pioneering Group pushed several suspension vehicles to pick up the weeds and transport them to the periphery of the site for disposal.

It was already afternoon, but because of the high latitude, the sun was not too strong, and occasionally there was a wind blowing from the lake to the forest, bringing a mix of coolness and muddy vegetation.

"Ah, that's—the Hunter?"

When Lu Zhao was moving the haystack, he heard the people next to him talking, so he also looked up.

The cabin door of the Sailboat opened in the distance, and several flying motorboats flew out of it one after another, and they were the latest hunters.The performance of the star network of Pioneer Group is very poor, and they can hardly do anything, but they can still see all kinds of news information, so Lu Zhao knows a little bit.

The Hunter is an anti-gravity suspended motorboat that can fly at a height of 200 meters. Because this flying boat is fast and can perform tumbling movements in the air, it also requires high driving skills.

At the beginning, the riders of the six hunters wore uniform black combat uniforms and falcon half helmets with infrared scanning functions.The airship can be controlled with leg strength, and the pilot's lower body is fixed to the airship so that they can also use both hands to control weapons in flight.

The appearance of the last two hunters that came out was modified, and the riders did not have uniform uniforms. It is estimated that they are the two big men. Because the big men are wearing helmets, they can’t see their faces clearly, but judging from their figures, they should be still. Pretty young.

The eight hunters soared into the sky and headed towards the distant forest at a fast speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"So handsome!" Someone exclaimed.

Lu Zhao has already buried his head in his work. He feels that it has nothing to do with him. He never pays too much attention to things that have nothing to do with him.

In the evening, the construction of the camp was completed, and the group of people who went hunting also came back, and it seemed to be quite rewarding.

The members of the Pioneering Group took turns to eat. Dinner was mainly instant rations, plus a cup of warm vegetable soup.Because the three transport spaceships carried a lot of supplies for the big shots in addition to the ten land propellers of the guards, and there was not much space left, so there was no kitchen on board.

Fortunately, these foods are used to eating in the pioneer group, and no one will be uncomfortable.

Mason was bitten by a small bug when he followed the guard's land propeller to clean up the periphery in the afternoon, but it was not too serious. As a care, his night watch was arranged at four o'clock in the morning the next day. Lu Zhao was in Mason The first shift, twelve midnight.

After eating, those who had no tasks took the time to rest, and each of them lay on the floor of the cabin with a sleeping bag, and soon there were snoring sounds one after another.

Lu Zhao didn't sleep, he sat on the gangway of the spaceship and looked up at the sky.

"Why don't you sleep?" Lao Cheng, who was about to go on patrol, saw Lu Zhao and came over to ask.

"I'm not sleepy yet," Lu Zhao said.

"Your class is the hardest, and you won't be able to hold on if you don't sleep now." Lao Cheng said, touching his chin, "Or, your danger warning ability is only effective when you are awake? "

Lu Zhao shook his head, "No."

"Then go to sleep for a while, I'll call you at twelve o'clock."

"Okay." Lu Zhao is not very good at rejecting other people's kindness, and what Lao Cheng said is also reasonable.Looking up at the vast starry sky for the last time, Lu Zhao stepped into the spaceship.
