The Path Toward Heaven

The captain of the fat man has a kind face and a good temper, but it is obvious that the people on this mining ship are afraid of him.

Not because of the extremely delicate half-meter-long knife that was trimming the nails.

When he was in Chaotian Continent, he rarely killed people, or even saw people, but everyone respected him and feared him, just like now.

Leaving the bamboo chair, Cao Yuan went to the place with the most stars without hesitation, so he came into contact with the humans of the Galaxy Alliance faster than Xilai.

It may be because mining ships are the most numerous in the universe, so coincidentally, the same is true of his first contact with the civilization of the Galaxy Alliance.

The next development of the story is completely different between him and Xilai.

He encountered that the mining ship was very dilapidated, and it was purchased by crowdfunding by more than 20 miners who wanted to make a fortune. Those miners did not expect that the ore they used their life savings to mine and transport was robbed by space pirates.

The miners are in a desperate situation, and some of them are even ready to switch careers to become space pirates out of anger and despair.

Cao Yuan couldn't listen anymore, he squeezed out from the door of the mine with some difficulty, and began to persuade everyone not to do this.

The people on the mining ship were amazed, wondering where did this fat man come from?

Some of the most ruthless guys thought he was a thief, so they took the guy and prepared to kill him.

The result can be imagined.

Cao Yuan did not use force, but still patiently persuaded everyone, and it didn't take long to convince everyone.

Of course, everyone including him knew that the real reason still lay in his force.

The mining ship returns to a transshipment base.

Cao Yuan did not know how to persuade a certain mining company to agree to the docking of this dilapidated mining ship.

From that day on, this dilapidated mining ship began to go back and forth between the No. 3 base and several adjacent mine stars.

Mining has always been a dangerous job. Even if the forward base No. 3 attracts the attention of the entire Galaxy Alliance, it cannot prevent the conflict from happening. What is the sequence of mining after the explosion on the surface of the mine star, such as the sequence when leaving, such as the location of the safe haven in the event of a storm?

Force, of course.

Cao Yuan is a fat man with great force.

He also has a half-meter-long broadsword.

Gradually, no one dared to bully this dilapidated mining ship, and he was respected by all his companions. His prestige was so high that he couldn't even think about being the captain.

...

...

The dilapidated mining ship landed at the No. 3 advance base, and more than 20 miners greeted Cao Yuan in a polite manner, and ran to the living area with a yell.

The company's annual mission has been completed, and from tomorrow onwards, all the harvest of this mining ship will be their own. How can they be unhappy when they think of the endless wealth and the fine wine and women waiting for them in the living area at this time?

Cao Yuan smiled and said nothing. He needs to keep the precepts, which doesn't mean he has to forbid others.

He took the knife and walked around the mining ship, repairing everything that needed repairing.

That iron knife can be used to cut nails or repair boats. With his strength and foresight, it is more reliable than any automatic repair robot arm.

After finishing these things, he walked towards the woods.

This planet is really strange. The green trees are towering, hundreds of feet high, and spread all over the planet, which is extremely spectacular.

Except for these big green trees, there are not many kinds of life on this planet, and it is unknown how such a monotonous biological system appeared and how it is maintained.

The Alliance Academy of Sciences has not been able to confirm whether this planet was transformed by ancient civilizations until today. Scientists have many conjectures and have not yet concluded.

Cao Yuan did not live in the living area, but built a house for himself in the woods.

He is used to living alone, and there are many things that are inconvenient for others to see.

Accompanied by the humming sound of the generator, he took a shower, ate two fruits, rested with his eyes closed for three minutes, and started his daily routine every night.

Seven computers were turned on at the same time, and the light curtains were almost stacked together, and countless words and data flashed across them.

Cao Yuan sat cross-legged on the floor, with an iron knife across his knees, and built a lotus bridge with his hands, looking at the light curtains calmly, as if he was about to fall into a trance.

Ascenders who left Chaotian Continent, the first thing they did after coming to this world was to study.

Then, they keep learning.

Somewhat different from Jing Jiu and Xi Lai, Cao Yuan only learned about the general situation of this civilization in the first few days, and then turned his attention to other aspects.

It's not the military's warships and weapon system, it's not how to kill and defend more effectively, it's not how to hide yourself, but... the sea of ​​dark things.

Humans in this world are the same as those in Chaotian Continent.

Those monsters in the Sea of ​​Dark Matters, or extraterrestrial demons, are the enemies of human beings, that is, his enemies.

In Chaotian Continent, he has been fighting the wind and snow alone for hundreds of years, and of course he will make the same choice here.

After mastering the knowledge and ability of the Internet, he devoted all his time and energy to this aspect. It is no exaggeration to say that he now knows more about the monsters in the Sea of ​​Dark Things than he knows about the Galaxy Alliance.

The more he knew, the more strange he felt, and he always felt that those dark monsters full of destruction were somewhat familiar.

One day, he suddenly came up with a guess, but it couldn't be confirmed for the time being.

At this moment, the siren sounded suddenly, pierced through the formation he had set up, and fell into his ears.

He carried the iron knife and walked out, one step out of the hut, and another step outside the woods.

The night sky was illuminated by powerful pointing lights, and an extremely terrifying scene appeared.

Thousands of meters above the sky, there are countless black tentacles dancing, which look like seaweed and leather whips.

Those black tentacles are more terrifying than anything in the world, as if they can even cut apart the space, and the starlight far away has been chopped into pieces.

A mining spaceship returning from the mine star was entangled by those tentacles, and instantly collapsed. All the crew members inside turned into blood foam and fell from the sky.

——This is the infestation of the sea of ​​dark matter.

Cao Yuan stepped into the air, and came into the night sky before the base defense weapon system could react.

The starlight fell on the top of his head, more brilliant.

The iron knife cut down.

There was a light rubbing sound.

...

...

The slain monster turned into a dead, leathery thing that fell from the sky and threatened to smash a building.

The knife light appeared again, cutting the monster into pieces.

Crackling, a terrible rain fell in the living area.

Cao Yuan landed on a big tree, looked at the forest sea around him, moved his ears slightly, and heard the rustling sound in the distance, thinking that there was indeed something wrong with this planet.

When he first came to Qianjin No. 3 base and found Lin Hai here, he felt strange.

He couldn't say why, he just felt bad.

Sure enough, the monsters from the Sea of ​​Dark Things appeared here.

Just when he was about to enter the woods to kill those monsters, the top of a big tree hundreds of feet away shone slightly, and a person appeared.

It was a very refined middle-aged man, wearing silver-rimmed glasses and a well-fitting dress, exuding a certain feeling.

Cao Yuan is very familiar with this feeling, which is called book anger, and he has seen it many times in the scholars of Yimaozhai.

It's amazing that a third-level target can be killed with a single blow. After coming to the new world, it's even more amazing to think about saving others instead of protecting yourself.

The middle-aged man pushed his glasses, looked at him and smiled and said, No wonder you can directly enter the final assessment. Let me introduce myself. I am your examiner.

Of course, Cao Yuan could imagine that there were Ascenders in the Galaxy Alliance.

He didn't want to go to find the other party, because he knew that the other party should be able to find him.

He also probably understands the meaning of the so-called assessment and has no opinion, but now is not the right time.

The rustling in the woods was getting closer, especially the sound of exclamations and weapons from the living area.

Kill those monsters first.

Cao Yuan was about to enter the forest with an iron knife in his hand, thinking that the other party was a strong man in this world, and he should be more familiar with the military's defense system, so he planned to leave the living area to him.

Wait.

The middle-aged man said: The scale of the infection is not large this time, but this kind of slow killing may take a whole night. I still have to go to the Yinhai Nebula, so I don't have time.

Cao Yuan turned to look at him, wondering if this senior expert has any better methods?

The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses again and said, Let me do it.

When the voice fell, hundreds of balls the size of fingernails floated out of his body, and shot in all directions at an unimaginable speed, with a shrill sound.

Those round beads are translucent, with a faint red color on the surface. They don't have any bloody smell, but they look a little nice.

For some reason, Cao Yuan felt a little uncomfortable looking at these red beads.

Crackling, crackling, there was a slight cracking sound in the woods and in the living area not far away.

Countless streams of mist rose and quickly connected together, covering the forest within tens of square kilometers.

The living area is also enveloped inside.

This was obviously not the effect of Night Breeze.

When the mist met the starlight, it suddenly became more bright red, like blood that just flowed out.

Dozens of towering giant trees were soaked in darkness and were turning into monsters. When encountering the blood mist, they immediately lost all vitality and turned into stiff dead objects.

And what about those in the living quarters?

The exclamation disappeared, the screams also disappeared, there was no sound, only the friction sound of the automatic weapon platform base rotating.

...

...

The streets are full of dead people.

The bar is also full of dead people.

A young man with oily clothes fell on the body of a prostitute, his face was full of bewildered emotions, his body had turned into a stone, and was extremely stiff.

If I want to die, I must die on a woman.

Looking at this scene, Cao Yuan thought of the words he heard in the mining ship dozens of days ago, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

In a street full of dead people and bloody mist, this smile looks weird no matter how you look at it.

The middle-aged man went to the table in the cafe and took a tissue, and asked while wiping his glasses, What's wrong?

It's okay. Cao Yuan shook his head while holding the handle of the iron knife.

...

...

(I wish everyone a happy new year, no worries, no troubles, and when things come, don’t be afraid of troubles, of course, hide when you can, and fall safely~)
