The Star Knight

Task level: D level.

Entrusted content: Assist the temporary development staff of Keweiqi to explore the surrounding area in order to successfully establish a farm, and must arrive within ten universe days.

The communication of radio waves in the atmosphere of Kewei VII is smooth, the contact channel is A77U07E, and the ground sign is the red apron.The specific tasks are discussed in detail.

Person in charge: Miss "Cloud".

Remuneration: 18,000 credit points.

Opal Road: "New Development Zone?"

Raymond did not answer. Opal looked at the simple diary page over and over. Raymond applied for sharing between the two, and it has all appeared in Opal's diary.

"You only need to pay me three thousand." Opal said: "There is no need to establish a temporary team to share tasks with me."

If you are applying for assistance from the side, as long as Raymond reimburses the Opal fee and replaces it with a joint completion, half of the remuneration will be directly credited to the Opal card.

"I said, money is not a problem." Raymond said coldly: "You don't want to get in the way."

"Okay." Opal said helplessly, sitting on the chair to listen to music, and forgot to buy game chips and movie content.You must remember it next time, otherwise the trip will be too boring.

"Are you equipped with ground?" asked Opal.

Raymond was silent.

Opal added: "Since there are people developing there, the atmosphere should be livable. The development of planets in this remote area might be dangerous. There are small light cannons on my spaceship..."

Raymond still didn't answer.

Opal listened to the music of the prince of the opera, followed by casually humming, more than a hundred hours, it was too boring, he drove to the fastest speed, and left the Ares galaxy three and a half hours later, through the star gate.

Time-VI: "Successful positioning, Pegasus nebula."

The spacecraft rushed out of another starry sky gate, and the real journey began now. The road from starry sky gate to Keweiqi was too far away, seven days and sixteen hours.

"Do you think his song is nice?" Opal said.

Raymond didn't answer, sitting silently on the side of the control room in a daze.

Opal opened the star map and began to browse those galaxies. Each planet has a few short introductions, including atmospheric composition, size, gravity coefficient, and creatures on the planet.When opal is bored, he will look at the star map while imagining the landforms and characteristics of these planets.

Most of them are dead stars without life. The planets suitable for activity are like needles in a haystack. Choose one of the billions. This is the case. The cardinal number of the stars is too large. Perhaps no one has ever been to all planets.

Ramon suddenly said, "This star chart is also left to you by your mother?"

Opal Road: "No."

Raymond: "Who gave it to you?"

Opal thought about it and said, "Why do you like to go it alone and don't want to join the team?"

Raymond raised his eyebrows: "What does this have to do with you?"

Opal smiled, looking from the side, his smile was kind of unruly and handsome, said: "That's right, who gave me my star chart, and what has it to do with you?"

Raymond said: "I don't like working with people."

Opal Road: "Why?"

Raymond said: "It's your turn."

Opal said: "The enlightenment teacher gave me, it's your turn now, why?"

Raymond: "Not why."

Opal: "..."

Raymond said: "This star map is not mass-produced. Its previous owner has visited many places. The following comments may be written by himself. Neither the star maps of the empire nor the republic will write local conditions."

There is a line of words on the description of Opal Point Kick VII.

[Kewi VII, a place that has not been reclaimed, the organisms on the planet contain a small amount of potassium permanganate, which is not suitable for human habitation.Risk: Low.

Opal nodded thoughtfully, Raymond said, "Your enlightenment teacher may have been an adventurer in so many places."

Opal said: "It is possible, the journey is boring, do not talk about something? Tell me about the previous thing, you say one thing, I say one thing."

Raymond got up, leaned his long axe in the corner, and asked, "Where is the bedroom, I went to bed."

"Cut--" Opal said: "Push the door on the left hand side, there is a bathroom."

Raymond entered the bedroom. There were two beds in it, a messy one, piled with opal quilts, pillows and dirty clothes. He sat down in front of the other bed and opened the bathroom to take a look. It was fully equipped.

He lay on the bed for a while, and Opal also came in. Raymond frowned: "Only this bedroom is on the spaceship?"

Opal said: "Originally there were two, and the other was converted into a warehouse by me."

Raymond doesn’t seem to want to live in the same room as Opal. He wants to leave without knowing where to go. Opal said: "There is a clothes washer and a washing machine in it.

Opal went into the bathroom to take a shower. After washing, the clothes were thrown in the washing machine and came out around a towel. The short hair was wet, and it grew a lot. The bodybuilder's chest carried water and was sitting in a daze beside the bed.

"Do you want to read the newspaper?" Opal said: "The projector on the E7 head reads the newspaper. There is no immediate update after leaving the Ares galaxy, but there are still many interesting news. There are textbooks for elementary schools."

Raymond stopped talking again, and Opal thought it was really a boring guy.

Opal was lying on the bed, quilt lying between the crotch, bent one foot, suddenly wanted to use the power of faith to read Raymond's thoughts, what is this guy thinking?However, this thought was dismissed by just a move, so that he was very disrespectful to his partner and was not good for himself-what if he was scolding me in his heart?Knowing is better than not knowing.

He closed his eyes and began to meditate, his thoughts diverging away, into the vast, endless space.

The spaceship passes through space in the melody of the opera prince. The ice refracts the stars in the universe. Each star glows differently, as if watching the opal's spaceship pass by.

His soul was floating in space, completely honest, with a sense of purity that was watched by thousands of people.Opal tried to ask them what to order, but there was no answer from the planet, and finally the light was gathered one by one.

The mental power recovered, and Opal opened his eyes, eight hours later.

He slept dry, touched his dry lips, wrapped in a towel and sighed and got up to go out, sitting in front of the console of the cab, his long legs crossed, resting on the console, his arms resting on the console Behind his head, he leaned back in his chair and stared at the starry sky outside the porthole.Think of Rector leaving him.

Opal unleashes the power of faith, and the big sword standing on the wall floats. He squints, and the big sword circles in the air, and the wind sounds.He recalled the original, soothing feeling of the floating soul in space, casually saying: "E7, turn off the gravity device."

E7 entered a series of commands beeping, Opal floated up, quietly suspended in the spaceship in a lying posture, an indescribable emotion was stirred in the heart and difficult to resolve-young people are called things that are longing for.He had never been in contact with that aspect, nor had he ever released his hot, suppressed longing.

At the age of fourteen, he was staining the bed sheet because of a dream. The content of the dream turned out to be in the arms of his mother. This embarrassed him and made him feel sinful. Since then, he has subconsciously avoided thinking about it.

Until he met Rector, the obscure cognition and worship of Rector inspired a certain yearning in his heart.

Opal licked his lips, closed his eyes, and lying in a weightless environment seemed to lose control of his whole body, as if there was a kind of unbearable feeling at the bottom of his heart, he was thinking about the strangeness of Reck when he was on the seabed. The feeling that the special souls merge with each other, the more there is something to rush out of the heart.

He said, "E7, turn on gravity."

As soon as E7 turned on gravity, Opal slammed down and then jumped back to the chair barefoot, blushing and finishing himself.

"What the hell are you doing!" Raymond slept in the bedroom and woke up when he fell.

Opal immediately froze, sitting with his back to Raymond, covering his body with a bath towel and saying, "I... it's okay, I was just testing the gravity system."

"You..." Raymond was speechless and turned into the room. Opal immediately got up, wrapped the bath towel, and it was still full of strange smells. He blushed across the bedroom to get clothes.

The faint special smell even smelled Raymond. Raymond couldn't help but twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, and changed a place to sit in the spaceship cabin.

Opal took another bath, and the body and mind had a kind of pleasure and comfort after release. He put on his clothes and walked barefoot, walking around in the cabin, turning on the green algae machine to prepare food.

This time I came out in a hurry, and I didn't even supplement the drinks and the food of the star, I must remember next time.Opal pushed the plate to Raymond and said, "Eat."

Opal left B-11 in the wind and sun. After these days, his skin tone has become much whiter, his eyebrows are very handsome, and he feels very correct when he is not talking.

Raymond's eyebrows are quite sharp, his skin is deeper than Opal, his face is thin, his skin color is bronze, he wears a combat jacket with a white shirt inside, and his trousers are tied in Zhongbang leather boots. Wearing a standard dress and a white gold necklace hanging on the neck, it looks very beautiful against the skin of his bronze chest.

His hair was shorter than Opal, his eyes were deep with alertness and vigilance, and he took over the plate, which contained two steaks made of synthetic protein after the decomposition of two green algae and an imitation egg.

Raymond looked at the fried egg, and Opal's heart moved, without raising his head: "Don't think about it just now, I assure you that the egg was not fried with that stuff..."

Raymond: "..."

Opal recharged the E7, and Raymond finished eating in two or two, then sat in a daze.

Opal also sits in a daze. These more than a hundred hours are really too hard to eat, sleep, opal reads the newspaper, Raymond sits motionless and thinks about things.

When he finally saw the Crow galaxy, Opal finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he remembered that he had to go through such a long journey on his return trip, he almost cried.

The color of Kewei VII showed a lavender color, and Opal turned on the connector: "Call, call, call Kweiqi ground personnel."

There was no sound in the communicator, and no signal was received. Opal called several times in succession. The spacecraft circled around the Qiwei Qi one circle after another, and there was no answer.

"Land toward the ground." Raymond leaned on the console with one hand and leaned over to see the holographic map image. Opal felt the warmth of his words when he spoke, suddenly suddenly uncomfortable and nodded.

Raymond got up to sort out his weapons and equipment. Opal said, "There is no ground command..."

Raymond said: "If not, let me come."

Opal said: "I have learned to drive a spaceship, the wrench teaches, and I am about to make a forced landing."

The spacecraft rushed towards the land with flames that rubbed against the atmosphere, and the flames blew out, the voice of Time-VI sounded: "Warning, prepare for forced landing, analysis of the elements of the landing planet, the main component of the surface is potassium permanganate, atmospheric composition 33% oxygen content..."

"The oxygen is too high." Opal said.

Time-VI navigation system: "Gravity coefficient 1.07. The target location is close, the estimated position is 43...

"The gravity is just right," Raymond said. "Go down and open the rear hatch."

"God." Opal said: "Come and see!"

Raymond glanced back at the big screen and froze.

The ground scene shown is full of monsters of the planet, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and a courtyard-like building is surrounded by water.

"Hurry up!" Opal turned back and shouted, saying that he was wearing a seat belt, and the spacecraft turned the ejector, spraying flames towards the ground, with a loud bang, and landed steadily.

Raymond frowned, Opal said: "Switch the ground navigation mode! Track the target in front of you and open the weapon panel!"

The spacecraft lifted off again, the seats on both sides of the console turned out, and Opal said: "E7! You are responsible for controlling it to go to that house! Raymond, we are each manipulating a light cannon!"

Raymond and Opal sat side by side. Thousands of ground monsters from the Guardians rushed in, but were blown away by the heat wave from the jet.Time-VI slowly flew close to the surface, slamming light guns relentlessly along the runway!

The purple blood flying all over the sky, the runway was swept with biological debris by dense light bombs, and the muddy flesh was spread on the ground. Opal pressed the high-speed energy gathering, and the buzzing white light gathered at the muzzle, followed by the button one Song, a ray of thunder struck the entire runway, rolled up energy shock waves, and nearly half of the courtyard was destroyed by a loud noise.

The spaceship chased around the scattered alien monsters, the tide-like monsters retreated, and Opal finally saw the appearance of the group of intruders-all arthropods, insect-like four-footed feet fled quickly, the body was Overgrown with long hair, occasionally a few stopped to look up at the zenith, and were shattered into pieces by a flare gun.

The monsters ran all over, leaving purple blood all over, and the spacecraft rumbling, stopping in front of the courtyard door.

This is a farm that has not yet been developed. The building materials are scattered and scattered. Many of them have been removed by the invaders. Raymond walked down the spaceship and the bottom of the boots was covered with a thick layer of mud.

"Contact the union?" Raymond said: "This task is too complicated."

Opal said in the cabin: "It's not possible to contact, the communication channel of the Crow Galaxy has not been opened yet, it's too far here."

The two stood side by side at the door of the building. The situation in front of them was already very serious. I don’t know how many people were here. Perhaps they were all slaughtered by local monsters... No, Opal thought of something. The monsters besieged this building. Things, it shows that there are survivors.

"Go in and see?" Opal said.

Raymond said: "You stay on the spaceship to respond."

Opal indicated no problem, and turned back: "E7, close the door."

E7 beeped, the spacecraft door closed, and Opal said again: "Scout outside, call the police at any time."

The building is a three-story fully enclosed small building. Raymond cut the alloy gate with an axe and looked up. Opal held the sword, and there was no one on the second floor.

A half-broken monster was sandwiched between the vents, and a man's body was lying on the ground.

"Raymond." Opal said.

Raymond came up the stairs and gave the man a glance, then cut the vent duct with an axe.

Opal put the broken monsters together with his sword and said, "The feet are very sharp, I don't know if it is a wise life."

Raymond nodded slowly, and Opal asked, "Is there anyone underneath?"

Raymond shook his head. The two looked at the blood-stained holographic projector at the desk on the third floor. There were several analysis reports on it. The report contained the planet's species analysis.

This creature, named Crow's quadruped, Opal put away the information, took off the chip, and said, "Maybe there is a cellar, check it out."

Raymond stood at the door, his tall body blocked the sunlight, and the sky outside was purple-red—there was a lot of potassium permanganate in the atmosphere. The main component of the Crow star was methane, and the blue light penetrated through the atmosphere, superimposed together, and appeared Almost dreamy scene.Opal inspected the corner of the wall and said, "In the past, in my hometown, the workers hid in the cellar during the winter."

Raymond said: "No need to check, if there is a cellar, the only switch will be on the third floor."

Opal first stunned and came to realize that the man might have activated the switch before he was attacked, then the opening of the cellar was on the third floor.

Raymond returned to the third floor. After a while, the ground clashed and opened a secret door.

Opal said: "Someone inside!"

Opal jumped down the shallow cellar, Raymond picked an emergency light source, and there were boxes stacked in the underground warehouse, and the cry of the little girl came from the boxes.

"You..." Opal said: "Don't cry, are you okay?"

"Woo...oooo..."

Opal hugged her out and comforted: "It's okay, don't cry."

The little girl didn't know how long it was kept underneath. Her voice was hoarse, and she looked only ten years old. Raymond took the light again and took a photo.

Opal said: "Don't cry, listen, what's your name? What about your parents?"

The little girl: "Sally... Sally, my mother went to find water in the afternoon and did not return..."

Opal remained silent for a moment, thinking about the corpse on the third floor, and understood what, whispered: "Sally, where is your mother going to find water?"

"What about my dad?" the little girl said with open red eyes.

"He..." Opal thought for a while and said, "He escaped and asked us for help, so we came to rescue your mother. Your mother's name is Yundu, isn't it?"

"Yes... yes, why didn't he come back?" Sally asked.

Opal couldn't answer, thought for a while, and said: "He was hurt a bit, let us take you away."

Sally nodded and Opal asked, "Raymond, what are you doing?"

Raymond turned things in the cellar. There were three weapons in the box-long-range spray. Two light-bomb guns. He threw one to Opal and said, "You are responsible for protecting her."

Opal never brought a child and said to Raymond: "Wait. I said... where are you going?"

Raymond pinned his gun to his belt and hurried upstairs. Opal chased up. Raymond turned over a chip and the two watched quietly. This is a garden planting site called Uzi.

Sally’s father and Sally’s mother Yun Duo are expatriate researchers. They are planning to establish a new planting ground in Kewei VII through surveys. Raymond quickly turns over the data and brings up the topographic map of Kewei VII.

Most areas are shrouded in shadows and belong to unexplored zones, and satellite maps show the surrounding danger: "Very low."

"Where did so many ghost things come from?" Opal said.

"It may be underground," Raymond said casually. "Where did your mother go? I have to find her now."

Sally stood at the stairs and said, "Here."

She pointed to a place on the map. Raymond took a deep breath and said, "The mission has changed. I decided to continue. You will take her to the union headquarters in a spaceship. After you have settled in, you will pick me up."

"It takes three hundred hours to come back and forth." Opal said: "Are you sure?"

Raymond hurried downstairs and Opal chased behind him, saying: "Let her stay on the spaceship and E7 will take care of her."

Raymond said coldly: "No, don't mess up..."

While the two were talking, a hysterical scream came from the third floor. Opal was shocked and rushed to the third floor to see Sally's face pale and shivering wildly against her father's body.

Oops, forgot to look at her for a while, Opal immediately picked her up and went downstairs, Raymond said: "I'm gone."

Opal said: "I can't throw you here! E7! Open the hatch!"

Raymond said: "Then wait for me."

The sound of the vehicle starting behind the building sounded, and Raymond drove a farming vehicle away.

The hatch opened, and Opal carried the screaming Sally into the cabin and whispered: "Sally, listen to me..."

Sally shivered like chaff and her pupils were loose, which reminded Opal of the reaction when he heard his mother's death many years ago.

"Sally?" Opal stared at her eyes and whispered: "Don't cry, don't cry...Your father is not dead..."

He said to her hypnotically: "Your parents are still alive, just to find water."

Opal's palm has distinct knuckles, very long fingers, and a warm and tender belly. Sally grabbed his second finger in the food. Opal said: "Are you here to play with E7?"

Sally nodded, and Opal wiped her tears, saying, "Brother will come back soon, don't leave here."

"Okay." Sally said timidly.

"E7." Opal ticked his finger. E7 came over, and a holographic projection above his head played a group of animals running on the grassland and turned on the music.Sally laughed, and Opal smiled. It was a show that he stayed alone at home when he was a child and E7 played with him.

He touched Sally's face, made a food and drink in the green algae machine, and took her into the bedroom, saying, "If you are tired, you can sleep here."

Sally looked up and said, "How about my parents?"

Opal stared at her eyes and said, "They are still alive, believe me, and go find them now. The restroom is there. If you are hungry, eat something first. E7, you know."

E7 beeping lights, Opal went out and put the voice-activated safety lock on the console, left the spaceship, and the door closed slowly.

Raymond had already left. Opal stood for a moment, not rushing to chase him. He first went to the dead monster for inspection, and then went to the third floor, turning over the body of Sally's father and inspecting the wound.

The mouthpiece of the Claw quadruped is a slit, killing people with sharp pointed feet like an axe, and using the mouthpiece to suck the juice of the prey. It looks less than one meter when it looks up.

In other words, to defend the calf, Opal went out and found that there were still corpses around the building. It should be the staff who assisted the cloud couple.

He moved the bodies of the five staff members together and put them together, standing and thinking-as expected, their calves were all cut neatly.

Opal found the Crow’s quadruped attacking method, looking left and right, but could not find their weaknesses, so he had to stop.He also found a farming car behind the building, and when he was about to get on the car, he always seemed to have overlooked something.

what exactly is it?Environment, time, cause, result... Using the four-element analysis taught by Rector, the cloud left in the afternoon, that is, twelve hours ago, during this period, the central farm was attacked by monsters...why?Opal remembered the spectacular scene when he first arrived here-tens of thousands of Crowe quadrupeds surrounded a small three-story building, what are they looking for?

Opal got off and returned to the building, entered the cellar, and inspected three metal boxes in several boxes. The metal boxes were locked and the combination lock could not be opened. The label indicated that it was a flower species from the Republic.

When Opal turned his head, he suddenly found a bag of open mouth. He bowed and picked it up, and found it was a fertilizer bag.

Is this thing attracting quadrupeds?

It seems that half of the previous fertilization was used, and there are four packs in the cellar.Opal put them all in the car, tied the seal of one of the bags, inserted the chip into the card reader on the car, opened the holographic positioning map, and chased Raymond's car.
