A tense setup.
Chapter 361: Destruction
Inside an exquisite metal box were three star-like objects. These were the Stars of Ruin.
The Stars of Ruin were not large, about the size of an adult's palm. They were completely golden in color, and their outer shell was covered in dense text.
"The Stars of Ruin! Legend has it that one antimatter bomb can destroy an entire planet. I didn't expect it to be so small!" Phantom excitedly exclaimed.
Xia Fei replied, "Its power can't be measured by its size. Rice Bucket may be big, but it's useless. Cordyceps may be small, but they can cure all diseases. With these Stars of Ruin, we'll have another chip to play in our trip to the insectoids, but it's a pity that we only have three."
Phantom pursed his lips. "Do you think three is too little? If I gave you ten thousand, wouldn't you wipe out the entire insectoid race? Antimatter bombs can instantly release antimatter rays that can turn an entire planet into nothingness, but frequent use can cause space to collapse, forming a true black hole. You'd better keep this thing safe. Don't use it carelessly unless it's absolutely necessary. "
Furball did not seem to be afraid of the power of the Stars of Ruin. He curiously tried to climb into the box, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Crunch!" Xia Fei suddenly remembered that Furball had a habit of eating random things. This fellow might even dare to eat Stars of Ruin.
* Slap! *
Furball was sent flying several meters away with a slap before Xia Fei hurriedly stored the box in his spatial ring.
Squatting down, Xia Fei placed a finger on Furball's head. "I'm warning you. If you dare eat random things again, I'll pull out every single hair on your body! I'll turn you into a bald ball! "
Furball had a fawning look on his face, not at all afraid of Xia Fei. He displayed his cuteness to Xia Fei, licking and rubbing against him, looking very pitiful.
"Take it, bootlicker." Xia Fei casually tossed a small piece of Purple Heart of Spirit to Furball. Furball eagerly pounced on it, absorbing all the energy in the Heart of Spirit in the blink of an eye.
Furball did not seem satisfied, coming over to Xia Fei's side and acting pitiful. Xia Fei laughed and scolded him before tucking him into his bosom. Knowing that Xia Fei would not feed him anymore, Furball went back to sleep, not even waking him up if the sky collapsed.
"Furball's appetite has been getting bigger and bigger lately, which means that he's already passed the most dangerous phase of his childhood and has begun to enter a state of development," Phantom happily said.
Xia Fei sighed. "This guy ate so many of my Purple Hearts of Spirit, yet his body hasn't changed at all. I wonder just how much he needs to eat to grow. What a glutton. If he keeps eating like this, I'll go bankrupt sooner or later."
Phantom replied, "You're exaggerating. The more he eats, the more limitless he'll become when he grows up, so you should be happy. Besides, you have Hearts of Spirit, so what's wrong with giving Furball a little?"
Xia Fei knew that Phantoms side with Furball, so he no longer argued with him. Of course, Xia Fei was well aware of Furball's potential, but Xia Fei was somewhat worried that Furball would never grow up.
At this time, the little robot Lil Pea flew over excitedly with a cup of fresh soy milk in its hands. Because it used magnetic levitation as its power, it always floated above the ground, moving nimbly and quickly.
"Master, Master Xia Fei, I've already washed your clothes, refurbished your bedsheets, and made your favorite long and thin grain mixture. What else do you need Lil Pea for?"
Xia Fei lightly patted Lil Pea on the head. "How many times have I told you? That's called zhajiang noodles, not some long and thin grain mixture. It sounds so awkward."
"Yes, Lil Pea understands. What else do you need me to do? It's been many, many years since I've served Master. I want to make up for all the work I've owed you, "Lil Pea anxiously said.
Ever since he obtained the AI robot Lil Pea, Xia Fei's originally chaotic bachelor life had changed. There was not a speck of dust to be found on the Impaler, and Xia Fei's clothes were cleaned every day. The sofa covers and bedsheets were changed every twelve hours, and there was always hot food in the kitchen. No matter when Xia Fei wanted to eat, he could eat whatever he wanted. Moreover, the moment Xia Fei put down his bowl and chopsticks, Lil Pea would rush over with red eyes and clean up the kitchen.
This kind of life was very pleasant, but Xia Fei was not used to it. After all, it was far too different from before.
Lil Pea was like the most stubborn housekeeper, not allowing any filth to exist. Every cup and every cushion had to be neatly placed, and no matter how Xia Fei moved them, they would all return to their original places, not even a millimeter off.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. "Have you cleaned up Vampire?"
Lil Pea nodded. "Three hours and nineteen minutes ago."
"Then tidy up the food reserves."
"I've tidied them up."
"What about the storeroom?"
"The guest room?"
"The command room?"
Xia Fei was utterly speechless. Lil Pea's diligence was far beyond that of a human's. No matter how much Xia Fei racked his brains, he could not think of any work for him to do, yet Lil Pea was still excitedly asking Xia Fei for work. It was as if in his view, robots could not have a single moment of rest and needed to work constantly.
"What else do you need to do, Master? What else do you need Lil Pea to do? "
Xia Fei was getting a headache from these questions, and he angrily said, "Squat down and draw circles on the ground!"
"Yes!"
Lil Pea's eyes lit up, and he excitedly squatted down and began to earnestly draw circles with his finger.
Phantom laughed heartily, and Xia Fei sighed as he muttered to himself, "Is this really an AI robot? If it's as intelligent as a human, it should be thinking of ways to slack off. "
As he spoke, Lil Pea suddenly raised his head and asked, "Master, how many circles do I need to draw?"
…
Xia Fei's warship life had become much more exciting with Lil Pea and Furball, but Xia Fei would sometimes feel very depressed. He now had a ball and a machine by his side. He had a ghost as a companion, but he did not have a normal human.
The Impaler landed on Earth. This time, Xia Fei did not announce it beforehand, so aside from a few people in the company, no one knew that he was back.
"Are they here?" Xia Fei asked.
Andre nodded. "I arranged for them to stay in the backyard, a rather secretive place so that they can familiarize themselves with life on Earth, but they seem to be …"
Xia Fei smiled. "It's fine. They've always been like this. You have to remember that no matter who asks, they're employees of Quantum Holdings and Earthlings. Don't tell anyone, not even Charlie."
Andre replied, "I understand. You're probably going to the insectoid territory for something important. Actually, my old bones can still move, so why don't you let me go with you?"
Xia Fei shook his head and gratefully said, "Don't worry. I'll take care of everything. You still have to stay here and help me look after the company. I won't bring anyone from Quantum Holdings with me."
"But …"
"No buts. This isn't a vacation. You can't go wrong by listening to me, especially not letting Sarah and Wu Long know. They're both impatient, and something might go wrong."
The backyard was a grassy field, where Andre usually liked to ride his horse. However, he was currently surrounded by layers of security, for the Deathguards from the Assassin Sect were all living here.
In a training room that had been temporarily reconstructed from a warehouse, thirty-six Deathguards were cultivating according to their own methods. Xia Fei knocked on the door and saw that they were all neatly arranged in a row. Each of them had a strong physique and looked extraordinarily valiant. Most importantly, they all had decent Breath Control cultivation. Standing there, they were like natural trees, very easy to ignore.
Xia Fei took out his token. "I'm Xia Fei, the representative of the Assassin Sect."
A short, stocky man with short hair walked out of the line and came to Xia Fei's side. He took the token and looked it over before handing it back to Xia Fei.
"I'm Squadron Leader 6328. This is a letter from the sect master, Craneshadow," the stocky man said simply as he handed over a piece of paper.
"The Deathguards of the Assassin Sect only have codenames, not names," Phantom explained to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei nodded. He took the letter and opened it. The content was roughly like this.
Craneshadow's letter reminded Xia Fei of some important points when interacting with the Deathguards, such as only giving orders and not asking them how they felt. In short, he did not need to treat the Deathguards as human beings but as killing tools. He could trust them a hundred percent without any doubt. He did not need to treat them even if they were injured because they were trained to not allow anyone to help them. Even if they lost an arm, they would have to stitch it up themselves. If it was more serious, they would have to find a place where no one would find them and end their own life.
Xia Fei could not help but feel embarrassed by the inhumane and strict rules, but what Xia Fei needed the most right now was a steel-like killing warrior who had no pity, sympathy, or tears.
"Long story short. From now on, you're all Earthlings. Remember the identity information I gave you. No matter who asks, answer according to the description in the information," Xia Fei said coldly as he swept his gaze over the thirty-six Deathguards.
"Soon, you'll be boarding the ship with a bunch of strangers. You'll have to recognize everyone on the ship, especially the one called Song Fei. He'll be your captain. I'll contact you through the nether bell if anything happens. When I tell you to kill someone, you'll have to clean the entire ship as soon as possible. Don't even let a fly go. You'll have to be quick and agile. Don't let them send out a distress signal.
"By the way, apart from you and me, the entire fleet is sent by the military. You won't have any problem killing Alliance soldiers, will you?"
Xia Fei laughed at himself as soon as he said that. In the eyes of the Deathguards, there were only the living and the dead. They did not have any concept of the military, so it would be pointless for Xia Fei to ask.
The thirty-six Deathguards were like thirty-six corpses. They were expressionless, motionless, and silent.
Xia Fei left after giving them some simple instructions. The strange atmosphere of being with the Deathguards made him very uncomfortable.
Xia Fei received a call from Porter after he took a few steps.
"Where are you?" asked Porter in a deep voice.
"I just arrived on Earth fifteen minutes ago."
"Good timing. Come to the factory right away. There's a problem with the Black Bat radar," said Porter firmly.
