Chapter 324 - Cosmic Mothership

Chapter 324: Cosmic Mothership

The universe was vast, and most of the neighboring galaxies were very distant. According to the distribution of galaxies, some of the galaxies in relatively close proximity were marked as part of the same star zone.

Although there were many civilizations in the 12th Star Zone of the Oohook Star Alliance, the Black Moon civilization was undoubtedly the strongest.

In outer space around an inhabited planet within the Black Moon civilization’s territory, a massive spaceship was parked. It was in the shape of a huge disc with a diameter of 325 kilometers, and there was a black crescent pattern on the spaceship.

The small hatches of the huge spaceship opened.

A large number of small spaceships flew up from the planet and entered the hull of the large spaceship through the numerous hatches.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless robots tore through the air and entered the huge spaceship like streaming water.

In a hall inside the huge spaceship.

There were only two people in the hall.

“Captain Ennor,” an elder with an exaggerated curled beard said with a smile. “All the personnel on time off in Strike Group 9 of the Fifth Fleet of the Taifan System have returned to the mothership.”

Captain Ennor was a tall, cold man. He wore a black-moon cape and looked coldly at the large amount of data on the screen.

“Where are the commoners in charge of reclamation?” Ennor asked when he saw this. “Why aren’t they here yet?”

“They’re still rushing over,” the bearded elder replied. “Civilians aren’t like the army; they can’t be mobilized that efficiently.”

......

“All wasteland reclaimers have to enter the mothership in three hours,” Ennor instructed coldly when he heard this. “Those who don’t enter the mothership will be executed! All cosmic citizens will be court-martialed.”

“Yes, sir.” The bearded elder’s heart tightened as he immediately replied respectfully. At the same time, he tapped open the screen in front of him and immediately issued the order.

Although he was the ambassador of the envoy delegation, Captain Ennor was the true leader! Captain Ennor kept his cold eyes peeled to the large amount of data on the screen.

Buzz!

A young man appeared on the huge screen in the hall. The young man said, “Captain Ennor, before you set off, please make confirmation that you will be carrying three Stellar Annihilator rounds again.”

“Confirmed.” Captain Ennor nodded.

The young man nodded and said, “Brother, Earth is only an emerging cosmic civilization, and it only has one inhabited planet! The conventional weapons and forces the cosmic mothership is equipped with are already very strong. The Star Destroyer cannon on the mothership is enough to make Earth’s civilization tremble, but you’re carrying an army of ‘smart bots’ and even Stellar Annihilators. Such forces… are enough to threaten the Milky Way’s strongest civilization, Huanliang.”

“My foolish brother,” Ennor said coldly when he heard this. “Let me repeat the lesson. Firstly, Earth’s civilization is very rich! Being rich allows you to buy weapons and equipment that exceed our expectations.”

“Secondly, when reclaiming Earth’s civilization, my opponents may sometimes not be just Earth or even opponents in the Milky Way. I have to make everyone know their place and not dare to interfere.

“Since Earth’s civilization is a new civilization in the 12th Star Zone, we have to occupy it,” Captain Ennor said. “Even if we mobilize too much military strength and the family needs to give 50% to the military, it’s still all worth it.”

“Because failure will result in immense losses. I can’t afford the price of failure,” Captain Ennor said.

The young man nodded and didn’t say anything else. “Bon voyage, Brother.”

“I hope you can step into Lv. 7 when I return,” Captain Ennor said.

The young man nodded. “Definitely.”

The figure on the screen disappeared.

…

There were also many cosmic citizens on this huge cosmic mothership.

Unlike commoners, cosmic citizens had much greater status and authority! Even all the arrangements the Black Moon civilization made for them had to be in line with the Cosmic Human Alliance’s rules.

“The captain is really going all out this time—bringing all of our 9th Strike Group with him.” A cosmic citizen officer stood in front of the transparent wall of the ship and looked at the large number of robots flying into the spaceship from afar.

“Don’t you know the captain’s character? He’s very careful in everything he does. In fact, I think Earth’s civilization knows themselves very well! During the civilization’s protection period, they didn’t dare to sell all the mineral deposits at all. They even left behind a large number of mineral deposits… Why?” A thin cosmic citizen smiled and said, “They were afraid of angering us! Therefore, they left behind many mineral deposits for us to collect.”

“We naturally have to excavate the mineral resources. The wealth they have has to work in concert with us.” The tall cosmic citizen scoffed. “A new cosmic civilization has to gradually integrate into the Cosmic Human Alliance under our guidance. We will naturally reward them with some scraps. This is the unspoken rule of our 12th Star Zone. If they dare to disobey the rules, they will be enemies of our Black Moon civilization!”

Even with the Cosmic Human Alliance’s laws, the Black Moon civilization also had many ways to squeeze a new civilization dry within the confines of the rules.

“As long as our Black Moon civilization spreads the word, no civilization in the 12th Star Zone will dare to trade with theirs.” The thin cosmic citizen nodded and said confidently, “Then, they can only carry out trans-Star Zone transactions. Every transaction requires an additional transportation fee.”

“Such economic sanctions are already very mild. They might end up accidentally wiped out by the space pirates…” a cosmic citizen said.

“Don’t talk nonsense. We have nothing to do with space pirates,” the other cosmic citizens said.

“Yes, yes, yes. We have nothing to do with them.”

These people smiled, a knowing look in them.

The cosmic citizens of the Black Moon civilization naturally felt superior when facing the other civilizations in the 12th Star Zone!

It couldn’t be helped!

The civilization itself was too strong! Even a strike group from the Fifth Fleet of the Taifan System had the right to look down on Earth’s civilization.

…

In the command hall of the cosmic mothership.

Captain Ennor, his subordinates, and the leader of the diplomatic mission were all gathered here.

“Captain, everything is in place. We can set off at any time,” a soldier said.

When Ennor saw this, he nodded and ordered, “Set off.”

Whoosh!

The cosmic mothership hovering in space outside the inhabited planet began to start up, and its speed rapidly increased. In just ten seconds, the cosmic mothership turned into a blurry stream of light.

“Begin preparing for wormhole travel.”

“Countdown: 33, 32, 31…”

When the countdown reached 0, the dark void in front of the cosmic mothership distorted, and the entire cosmic mothership flew into it and disappeared.

When this cosmic mothership appeared again, it had already left the galaxy and arrived in a dark and lonely cosmic void.

Most of the universe was dark. The specks of light in the distance were the faint light from a massive galaxy.

“Begin cooling down. It’s estimated that we can warp again in 1 hour and 36 minutes.”

“Coordinates confirmed…”

“Personnel’s vital signs checked…”

“Energy inspection…”

Information appeared one after another.

Captain Ennor didn’t mind because the alarm would’ve sounded If there were any accidents. He looked at the endless darkness outside the spaceship.

Every time he traversed a wormhole, he would experience the dark regions of the universe. He was even obsessed with this feeling.

The family only has two Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms, and it’s getting weaker. It wasn’t easy to obtain the opportunity to reclaim Earth’s civilization, Captain Ennor thought to himself.?I can’t make any mistakes.

I have to obtain everything Earth’s civilization has to offer to strengthen my family, Captain Ennor thought.

“Captain, do you want to take a break? We can only reach Earth in 39 days,” a female officer whispered.

Captain Ennor nodded and turned to leave.

As long as he was on the mothership, he could grasp everything at any time.

******

Earth’s civilization was making preparations for the expiry of its protection period. Although they believed that they were sufficiently prepared and that it wouldn’t be a problem for Earth’s civilization to ‘live on’ for a longer period, they ultimately didn’t have any experience. Everything was just speculation!

As the number one expert of Earth’s civilization, Xu Jingming was also working hard.

Planet Number Two in the mysterious land.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xu Jingming panted. There was a wound on his chest, and under his cellular control, he ceased the bleeding.

Although my body won’t tire or starve during the test in the mysterious land, I won’t recover from my injuries,?he thought.?My body will only recover completely if I fail and die.

I’ve been walking for ten days. I’m still 800 kilometers from my destination.?Xu Jingming treated his wound and gently tapped his personal interface to change into a new set of soft armor.

The last 800 kilometers!?Xu Jingming was filled with fighting spirit.

After ten days on the Arthropod planet, Xu Jingming also understood the key to traversing it. The most important thing was the collection of the surrounding information and making instantaneous decisions!

And the information had to be everything! Weather, terrain, the other cosmic citizens in the distance, the means the different Arthropods were good at, his strength… He had to quickly gather information on every aspect and immediately make a decision! If he hesitated and made a decision too slowly, he might land himself in a predicament and be surrounded by a large number of Arthropods.

The weaker I am, the more I can’t afford to make mistakes, and the higher the requirements for my decision-making! Thankfully, I’ve long reached super level. I made a few mistakes and relied on my strength to clear it, but I was also injured, and my strength has decreased quite a bit.?Xu Jingming was very cautious. After ten days, his ability to grasp the environment was almost instinctive.

Seconds turned to minutes, but he didn’t relax at all. After more than seven hours without any major mistakes, he finally arrived at his destination.

I’m here.?Xu Jingming was like an afterimage as he traversed the mountain.

This mountain didn’t provide much cover; as long as he climbed this mountain, he would naturally attract some Arthropods.

Based on the distance and speed, I can confirm that they can’t form an encirclement.?After Xu Jingming stabbed an Arthropod to death, he reached the top while being chased by the seemingly terrifying Arthropods.

Whoosh!

Xu Jingming didn’t hesitate at all. The moment he arrived at the mountaintop, he charged into the dark miniature wormhole and left Planet Number Two, leaving the Arthropods at the mountaintop roaring angrily.

…

After walking out of the miniature wormhole, he discovered that his injuries had completely disappeared.

Brr, it’s so cold.?

The moment he arrived on Planet Number Three, he felt a biting cold. The cold air seeped into his body as if it penetrated his muscles and burrowed into the gaps between his bones.

This is too cold.?Xu Jingming observed his surroundings.

This was an ice-white planet, and the ground was covered in rocks and ice. He couldn’t see any plants or animals.

This was a cold and desolate planet.
