Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 615: Internal Disease (2)

"These are just my one-sided speculations. In the absence of any actual evidence, it's better for everyone not to leak them out." Alan thought for a moment and said, "But I do have an idea, but it's not something we need to care about now. Let's talk about it later."

He looked at Reese and said, "In principle, we are acting independently, but if you need help, don't be stingy with asking us for help."

Reese laughed, "I'm not going to do anything like that. Don't worry. As for the news, I'll keep you posted."

After setting up several secret communication codes so that they could communicate with each other in the wilderness, the two of them bid farewell and left. Ellen stretched his back and said, "Everyone is tired today. Let's get some news soon. There's plenty of work to do tomorrow. Only when you recover will you be able to earn merit points from the Federation."

The night gradually darkened, but the lights in Castellan Rock Base became brighter and brighter. Especially the two high-power searchlights in front of the main gate of the base. They were constantly scanning the thick lampposts and monitoring the front of the base. The night was the real beginning of the day on Frost Star. In the vast night, the native life on this planet would be busy. Lower intelligence was only foraging around like wild beasts, while higher intelligence creatures like headhunters were secretly planning to take back the lost land from the invaders at all times.

Of course, not all headhunters are hostile to humans or Adahua Planet. Their IQ is not low, because they have intelligence, so they can be lured and bribed. Both the Federation and Adahua Planet had their own Huairou policies towards the planet's natives. If it wasn't necessary, it wouldn't kill all life on the planet.

A meaningless war is not good for either side, so as long as intelligent life on the planet learns to compromise. After the initial period of repression, the intruder-indigenous relationship tends to develop in the direction of symbiosis and mutual benefit, which is also a strategic objective for maximizing benefits. Only those in the Yordon Realm who were extremely hostile to life would use pure violence to conquer a planet.

There were holly forests near the Castellan Rock base, and there were many headhunters in this forest. These planets' natives sometimes drove wild beasts to attack the base at night, and there were quite a few such cases when the base was first built. Therefore, even if it was built to this day, every base manager would not dare to take it lightly. Frost nights are long and dangerous.

To the Holly Forest, night was like the day on earth, the beginning of a day. If anyone went into the forest under the night sky, they would find traces of life everywhere, and there were some dangerous things among them.

There was a rare open space on a hillside that could see Castellan Rock Base. The empty space was filled with Reaper Grass. This grass would emit dim yellow fluorescence from its roots at night, attracting creatures to come under the boundless darkness of the night. Death Grass is one of the rarest frost-resistant vegetation on Frost Planet. It can convert frost and snow covering the surface into water and store it in the rhizome, so it is also a natural water reservoir for some creatures.

Creatures attracted by the fluorescence of the Reaper Grass dig out their roots and absorb the freshwater they convert to make a living. But at the same time, some unlucky fellows would be entangled by the Reaper Grass. The Reaper Grass would wrap itself around its prey like a snake. When it was wrapped around a lot of Reaper Grass, the prey would often be strangled in the grass and the corpse would become the nourishment of the earth.

Demand and gift, pay and gain, always so constantly reincarnated.

Now was the time for the Reaper Grass to hunt, and a dim yellow fluorescence rose up, dyeing the upper part of the open space into a sea of light. Unfortunately, tonight's hunt was destined to not go smoothly. Before the prey was attracted, a dark starship quietly appeared above the grass. The dark golden veins on both sides of the starship were shining brightly, and the starship finally landed on the grass.

The Reaper Grass beneath the metal creatures pressed tightly against the ground. They could strangle wild beasts, but there was nothing they could do to a large creature like a starship.

After landing, the lift deck entered and a few people walked out. The first person was Catherine, followed by one of her aides. The adjutant hurriedly followed behind the general and said, "Major General, it would be better if we landed at a base on the surface. We don't have much fuel for our own supplies."

"Long-winded." Katherine said without turning her head, "After using up the information above, I'll just find a base to replenish it. I won't starve you to death."

The adjutant said awkwardly, "Supplies are fine, but staying in the wild is dangerous. After all, this is not Earth."

"Danger?" Katherine turned around and a light flashed in her eyes. "Which side do you think is more dangerous, me or the planet's natives?"

"What a coward! What right do you have to stay by my side like this!" She jumped off the lift deck and stepped on the grass.

The Reaper Grass sensed the aura of life and began to stir. Catherine snorted, and somehow the scorpion spear came into her hand. After a spin in her hand, she stabbed heavily into the ground. The moment the scorpion spear pierced into the grass, the adjutant seemed to hear something screaming miserably. Then, with Catherine as the center, a large amount of Reaper Grass withered and died, forming a death zone several meters in diameter.

Outside the Death Ground, the other Reaper Grasses were desperately trying their best to restrain the dim yellow fluorescence, completely turning themselves into ordinary plants. Catherine said calmly, "We can set up camp now."

The adjutant helplessly whistled towards the cabin door, and a group of soldiers rushed down. They were proficient in division of labor and cooperation. Several of them were in charge of setting up camp, while a few of them spread out their guard. Two other female soldiers began to set up stoves to cook dinner for Catherine.

Catherine walked to the end of the hill herself, and at her feet a clump of Reaper Grass began to wriggle uneasily. Catherine stepped on it, and it was so quiet that it could not be any quieter. She raised her head and looked into the distance. Under the night, the lights of Kai Yan base flickered in her eyes. She buzzed her lips into the endless night and said silently, "Wait for me."

Alan, who was in the dormitory of Castellan Rock Base, felt a chill run down his spine for no reason. This wasn't the first time he felt this. He quickly got up from the bed and looked out the window, but he couldn't see anything else under the dark night. josei

Seven o'clock Earth time, but it was still night for Frost Star. However, there was already a trace of white in the sky. A streak of white light stretched out from the east. However, it would still take five to six hours for this white light to completely dye the sky. Alan had already woken up on time. After washing up, he put on the blade armor and walked out of the room with Xue Yin in hand. Everyone else had also finished their preparations and gathered in the hall.

Reina had already left first. Alan had no way to ask about this independent brother, so he led the others to the restaurant on the base. A corner of the dining hall had already been set aside for the free-hunting experts to eat. When Alan brought his team into the dining hall, he could clearly feel the eager gazes of the soldiers in the dining hall.

Many people looked at Xue Yin's thick, scarlet-red saber behind Alan. When he looked at Alan again, the soldiers, especially the veterans, had more eyes. Allen's figure was slender, but such a person used such a tyrannical and crude weapon as Blood Concealment. If he didn't use it for the show, he would have strength that surpassed his appearance.

Such a person would often find it difficult to measure his strength by his level and appearance. The soldiers had more or less heard that Allen and his party had broken through Yordon's outsider blockade net yesterday and had even worked together to kill a Dark Titan. Those who were able to return to the base after experiencing those battles were either extremely lucky or had extraordinary strength. Naturally, no one would question their strength.

In the dining area, Reese and his men had arrived early and were greeting the members of the other families. This fellow was indeed good at socializing. He had only known each other for two days, but he seemed to have known each other for a long time. Even Alan couldn't help but admire his social skills.

"Hi, brother. You're late." When Reese saw Alan, he stood up and greeted him, but he attracted the attention of everyone in the dining area.

Allen and Reina's performance yesterday was dazzling, even though Reina was the one who killed the Dark Titan. However, if Alan hadn't broken through the giant's defenses for him, it would have been very difficult for Reina to do so. At that time, Allen had slashed the Dark Titan with his saber, and he still had a deep memory of the Dark Titan. Especially those who had fought against the Dark Titan, they had personally experienced the giant's abnormal defensive power.

Alan looked like he could easily cut open the giant's chest, but in reality, it wasn't that simple. The saber strike also showed that Alan already had the strength to heavily injure a major general-level expert. However, what made others pay attention to was that he was only at level 19 in the official information of the Federation!

Therefore, most of the people in Allen's line of sight were friendly. After all, having such a strong person around was always reassuring, but there were also some hostile gazes, some even wandering around the vital parts of Allen's body. Allen immediately sensed it, his hands holding onto Xue Yin, his eyes narrowing slightly. His gaze condensed into swords and swords as he looked at the hostile gazes. Immediately, the heads of those people felt as if they had been ruthlessly stabbed into by a steel needle, and they cried out in pain.

Then, he slapped the table and glared at Alan angrily.

Alan sneered and let go of Xue Yin. He put his hands behind his back and looked at them coldly, "If you want to find trouble, you can change the time and place. As for this place, I advise you to eat quietly."

Behind him, a black shadow appeared. Reina, who was wearing volcanic armor, squeezed Ellen aside and sat down at a random table. He gently placed the bone piercing warhammer at his feet, but the concrete floor caved in by three points. He muttered to himself, "Weigh your weight before looking for trouble with Beth Cod."
