Traveling through the infinite wasteland

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! His sixth sense told him that things were not that simple today.

Another half hour passed, but the situation was still calm. Except for the low roar of the battleship's engine, the surroundings were eerily quiet!

Yu Wensheng suddenly frowned slightly, and a strange feeling arose in his heart, as if something was spying on him secretly!

"It seems like something is approaching!" He said, but his tone was not very sure.

"I feel something is wrong too!" Another awakened person echoed.

"Do you want to leave for a while?" a third person asked.

"No rush, let's consult the battleship commander first!"

While everyone was discussing, the situation outside the battleship changed further.

A huge black shadow emerged from the depths of the trench. It can be seen that its shape looks a bit like an octopus and a bit like a giant sea snake! There are eighteen thick arms and legs on the abdomen!

The monster's skin and arms and legs are covered with dark red bone spurs and bone blades! Although it is huge, more than twice as big as that trench battleship, its movements are extremely light and agile! However, after a dozen breaths, it had almost reached the battleship.

I knew something was wrong, but even the most sensitive instruments on the ship didn't react at all to its arrival! It was a few awakened people who first noticed something was wrong!

"Damn, what is that?" When the guy's arms and legs were close to the outer shell of the battleship, the battleship commander finally discovered the situation with his naked eyes through the observation window.

"Oh my god! Shura Squid! It's actually Shura Squid!" the first mate said with a pale face.

Shura Squid, the second most dangerous thing on the Blue Algae Planet! Trench Hunter's Nightmare! A ferocious existence that can only be dealt with by dispatching a fleet or strong men from Qianxing!

In well-documented records, humans have only captured two Shura squids since they immigrated and developed this planet! All without paying a huge price!

"Come to the surface immediately and escape at full speed!" the battleship commander made a prompt decision. The total number of people in this boat is not enough to fill that guy's teeth.

The battleship immediately turned and rushed towards the sea at extreme speed! The engine made a hard shuddering sound due to overload operation! The ship's own 300mm particle cannon kept firing. I just wish I could stop it.

"There's something coming from above too!" the observer yelled wildly, with a cry in his voice, "It's the meerkat. There's also the Moro shark! Oh... there's also the jackal whale!"

In just a few dozen breaths, this sea area has been filled with all kinds of dangerous things! And they are all top-ranking terrifying beings!

Yu Wensheng watched helplessly as a thigh-thick arm and foot wrapped around the trench battleship. With a slight twist, the several-meter-thick high-strength alloy shell shattered like pieces of paper!

He opened the energy shield on his body in time before a large amount of sea water poured in, then drew out the energy knife and slashed at the arm and foot with all his strength!

The sharp energy light blade cuts on the wrist and foot, as if cutting on cotton, it is as soft and unforced!

Without saying a word, he put away his energy knife and rushed towards the sea! If you can't do anything about it, just run for your life!

But he couldn't control those people on the ship. You can only take care of yourself first!

After rushing less than thirty meters, an arm and leg wrapped around him, followed by a second one, a third one...

Those arms and legs belong to a Yama squid!

After only holding on for less than ten seconds, he temporarily overcame the resistance. When the beast could barely hold him in its mouth, he tried his best to reverse the source energy in his body and launched a self-destruction!

An orange-red fireball exploded in the sea, and the fire briefly illuminated the dark and deep trench.

In that area that was hard to see, a few lifeforms in the shape of Weeping Ling appeared vaguely, and then disappeared suddenly!

This scene. It is still happening in this sea area!

…

He stretched out his palm and drew it in vain, and with his five fingers together, a bright blade of light rushed out of his palm. Converging into a two-meter-long sword light.

The palm of his hand was drawn in circles, and the sword light swept across the ground, splitting the floor tiles that were harder than alloy into two halves!

This is a new sword technique passed down to him by Lan Yu, with some modifications made according to the laws of this world. When you practice to a high and deep level, your power is extremely terrifying!

In the first demonstration, the intensity was not well controlled, otherwise after the sword light split the floor tiles, it would only leave a crack as thin as a gossamer. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see it!

"Don't use this technique easily in the future. Unless you don't plan to stay alive!" Lan Yu's voice rang in his mind, "Although the things I teach you do not belong to this world, there is no guarantee that they will not be noticed! So you It’s better to restrain yourself!”

After the sword light dissipated, Ye Qingyuan began to sit quietly and adjust his breathing. This method is very powerful. The only drawback is that it consumes too much energy. The energy in his body is already much higher than that of the awakened ones on the same star, but it only lasts for a few minutes before it runs out!

Indoors, Chen Yan stood in front of the window, looking at Ye Qingyuan who was practicing swordplay in the distance, with unbridled affection in her eyes.

"Sister, is this the man you are looking for?" A charming voice sounded in her ears.

I don't know when, a tall woman stood beside her. Her appearance was peach blossom and beautiful, but there was a hint of evil in the corners of her eyes.

"It looks very good!" She smiled. "Excellent qualifications and great appearance! Where did you find it?"

Licking her lips lightly, she whispered again: "How about you play with me for a few days?"

"Are you dreaming?" Chen Yan rolled her eyes. It was easy to say anything else. Why would he give her his man?

"Hey! Don't be so stingy, okay? It's rare for me to come here once!" She teased, "You just find a playmate, and when you've had enough, you just leave him! Could it be that you are planning to let him do it?" Your man?"

"That's indeed what I estimated!" Chen Yan smiled sweetly.

The smile on the woman's face froze, and her voice became cold and stern: "Did I hear you correctly? Are you really planning to find a man for yourself? Have you forgotten the commando orders?"

"The higher-ups have asked you to stay here for a long time so that you can be ready to serve the commandos at any time! Not only are you raising a man here, but you are planning to..."

"It seems that I have to report to the superiors that your current status is no longer suitable for this position!"

"I don't want you to worry about my affairs!" Chen Yan said with a cold face, "But I have my own explanation for the above!"

"Huh? I hope so!" She glanced at the other party coldly, turned around and walked away for a while.

.....

"General, this is the result of the two weeks of missions!" Walton handed a small chip to Luo Hanxing.

Luo Hanxing took it and embedded it into the photon computer. After browsing it hastily, he asked with dissatisfaction: "Just these?"

"Yes. It's all here!"

Seeing the other party's expression, Walton smiled bitterly and said: "General, we have tried our best! Since the release of this mission, no less than 20,000 awakened people have received the mission in the name of groups or individuals and finally returned. Yes, not even one percent!”

"Although there are still people taking over the mission, the number has been greatly reduced!"

"The horror of that ghost place has exceeded the psychological bottom line of most people. No matter how much money you have, your life will be gone! What's the point?"

Two weeks passed, and in the end, only more than 20 organizations or individual groups submitted completed surveying and mapping maps, for a total of fifty-seven!

A total of 500 surveying and mapping tasks, if they are all done at this rate! When will it be done?

No wonder Luo Hanxing was dissatisfied.

However, he had nothing to say. The Awakened team had tried their best and so many people had been killed, which even affected the fishing plans of major organizations!

It can be expected that the year-end performance reports of major pharmaceutical organizations this year will definitely not be so good-looking!

"How many tasks can be completed if there are three more months?" There was silence for a while. Luo Hanxing asked again.

"It's hard to say! Under the shock of huge casualties, not many people dare to take risks now!" Walton said helplessly, "I estimate that at most fifty maps will be completed!"

"What if. What if the reward is more?" After hesitating again and again, Luo Hanxing said another sentence.

At this time, Walton couldn't hide his gaffe: "Do you want to increase the remuneration? How much?"

"Double! How about it?" Luo Hanxing gritted his teeth, "From now on, anyone who completes a surveying and mapping task can receive a reward of 90,000 crystal cores. For groups or individuals who complete more than ten tasks, there will be other benefits. Rewards! For example, I will use the power in my hands to grant them the title of Imperial Honorary Knight!"

Imperial honorary knight, in the eyes of orthodox superiors. Naturally nothing. But for civilians, it is attractive enough!

High social prestige. Priority can be given to serving as general local officials, and there are great tax concessions, credit, medical education, and other social welfare benefits that are ten times different from ordinary citizens!

Even after committing a crime, if the nature is particularly bad, the sentencing is extremely lenient!

Although he is not an official high-ranking person, it is one of the necessary conditions for becoming a high-ranking person. No one would refuse such a title as long as he hopes to get it!

Walton's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that even he was a little tempted by this condition. However, after thinking carefully, he still twitched the corners of his eyes: "No! General, in fact, this is not a question of money! That place is far more dangerous than the battlefield!"

"If my guess is not bad, after the reward is increased, many people will definitely take risks, but the number of tasks completed in the end will not exceed 150, or to be more optimistic, 300 will be the limit Got it!"

"Nearly 20,000 awakened people have been buried there so far, and the losses of various equipment are even more countless! For this reason, many senior leaders of large organizations have expressed their dissatisfaction with you, General, in private!"

There was a long dead silence in the living room.

"Then let's do this for now. You can leave the new remuneration standard for a while!" After a moment of hesitation, Luo Hanxing made up his mind. “But it’s up to God how much we can accomplish in the end!”

"Okay, everything is as you wish! My Lord General!" Walton sighed softly.

After coming out of the awakened team, on the speed train, Luo Hanxing was still unhappy.

After spending so much money, there is still no hope of completing the task. No wonder he is depressed.

In desperation, he didn't think it over, so he simply let the people he brought take action temporarily. Even if there were heavy casualties, the money would be enough to pay their pensions!

But reason told him that if he really did this, it would only make things worse!

This time he brought 3,000 awakened ones, most of whom were five-star or above, and they were all direct descendants he had cultivated over the years. In addition, there are two thousand elites belonging to the special operations commando team that Her Royal Highness has temporarily assigned to him!

In terms of warships, there are 50 "Qinghai" warships, 50 latest model trench warships adapted to scientific research missions in extreme environments, and more than 300 ordinary military standard warships.

With the princess's authorization, he can also mobilize no more than 500 warships from the Strategic Command and 2,000 supernatural troops to assist.

The above is all the power he has at hand now!

From a literal point of view, it can be said that the combat power is strong. No matter how difficult the task is, it should be somewhat certain.

But after checking the empire-related confidential files with his own authority, his originally extremely firm confidence was somewhat shaken!

From the discovery of this planet by the empire's advance fleet more than 80 years ago, to the subsequent large-scale immigration and development! The high-ranking officials of the empire have never stopped exploring the deep sea.

All added up, the empire lost power in that place. It contains two dry-star experts, nearly a thousand seven-star or above experts, a total of more than 3,000 trench battleships, tens of thousands of ordinary battleships, more than 20,000 mid- and low-star awakened people, and millions of ordinary casualties!

But as to why the empire still misses that place after experiencing such a heavy loss, and why it didn't even think about using prohibited weapons to completely destroy the place, that is a top secret that even his authority cannot know!

If the mission could be completed satisfactorily at the cost of nearly annihilating all his men, he would accept it.

As long as the mission is completed and there are instructions from above, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not be too harsh on him, and the lost combat power will soon be replenished!

But the problem is clear, this is simply an impossible task. Even if he joins in together, it will not change the result!

If all his men were injured and killed and the mission was not completed. Even with the dignity of Qianxing, his position is largely unkept!

He is not like Xing Feng, who has the support of his family and race behind him in everything.

That's why he figured out this method. Although tens of millions of crystal nuclei are too many, if it can solve the current predicament, it's nothing!

"If you really have no means, should you turn to a strong person from a different race, such as the ghost race, or..." He couldn't help but come up with this guess.

Then, his reason told him that this would not work at all. How can foreign races be involved in a major matter related to the security of the empire?

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he realized that as one of the high-ranking figures in the Ministry of Security and possessing the combat power of a Qianxing, he still had a lot of resources at his disposal. As long as he is willing to pay a sufficient price, he can also get help from some big forces.

But in the end, he had to expose it for the time being, not to mention whether he could afford the price. Even if he was willing, he wouldn't be able to solve the current problem at all, and it would just be a waste of resources.

"That's all! Let's take it one step at a time! It's really no good to consider other methods!" Zhang Chang sighed softly and looked for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. He put aside this headache for the time being.

Ye Qingyuan stared at the woman in front of him with a livid face.

Just a moment ago, this woman named Lan Shixia approached him while he was walking in the courtyard.

Originally, he heard her claim to be Chen Yan's close friend, so his attitude was quite polite.

Unexpectedly, he felt that this woman had no self-respect in her words and tried her best to seduce and tease her. Unable to bear it, he planned to walk away.

When Lan Shixiao saw that the hook was not successful, she became angry and planned to force him. The two of them started to take action.

"It's useless. With your little cultivation, why might you be able to beat me!" Lan Shixia said with a smile, "Put down your weapon obediently and follow me to have fun with your sister. As long as you make your sister happy, it will give you some benefits. Maybe !”

"Please respect yourself!" Ye Qingyuan said coldly, clenching the energy knife in his hand in private. (To be continued.)
