Ye Chong looked at the familiar yet strange planet, and felt a sense of nostalgia. He grew up on this trash planet, and was familiar with everything here. Ten years had passed since the day he left. In these 10 years, the trash planet did not change much.
After that star flare, this place became a lifeless planet. Those powerful creatures that Ye Chong had once thought to be untouchable did not survive the disaster. There was only trash, and the air was filled with the smell of rust.
Ye Chong brought Rui Bing to his old home. Before this, Rui Bing knew very little about him. When she found out that Ye Chong had lived alone on this lonely planet as a child, the tenacious Rui Bing could not help but hold Ye Chong's hand tightly.
His home was the same as before, untouched. Even the engulfers, famed for their fertility, did not manage to escape the disaster. Ye Chong was a little disappointed that he could not eat the engulfers meat.
As he expected, the other exit of the spatial window was near the trash planet, but it was well hidden. However, it was very well hidden. A few floating rocks happened to block it, making it very difficult to find.
Aried had found a way to enlarge the spatial window. Darkniss passed through the dimensional window without a hitch. The only thing that Ye Chong did not expect was that the spatial window disappeared soon after. Later, Aried's explanation was that the spatial window would become unstable under the stimulation of energy and other spaces. Then, it would mutate and eventually disappear.
However, if it was a natural spatial window, it would usually be destroyed for a period of time before it would form again. Whether the newly formed spatial window would still lead to the original dimension, and how long it would take was hard to predict. At least, it was impossible to predict under the current conditions.
The trash planet was devoid of life, which was not surprising to Ye Chong. The trash planet was originally used to store trash. Before the starburst, the inhabitants of the surrounding planets were all moved elsewhere. The trash on Trash Planet was mostly ordinary metals. Even the red-tailed beasts would not be interested in these ordinary, low-quality metals. Hence, the trash remained as it was before, quietly existing.
Ye Chong was familiar with the Fal Galaxy. It was here that he took his first step out of the trash planet. He had all sorts of information about Fal in his possession. These were all passed down to him by Mu and Shang in the past.
No signal could be received here. The pulsed signal tower on the trash planet seemed to have been abandoned, which made sense.
Ye Chong decided to head to Blue Ocean first. He met Rui Bing and Grandpa Qian on Cerulean Sea Star. Due to the turmoil in the five major galaxies, Rui Bing and the others had migrated to the Csebesini Galaxy. Ye Chong and Rui Bing did not know how Cerulean Sea was doing now.
When they rushed to the Cerulean Sea Star, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The once prosperous Cerulean Sea Star was now a dead planet. Broken walls were everywhere, and all the tall buildings were in ruins. Old posters were scattered on the streets. Broken mechs, only half of a shuttle car remained … The city had been completely destroyed. Puddles of water could be seen everywhere, and the streets were filled with a foul smell.
So far, Ye Chong had not seen anyone. Perhaps it was because there were no longer any humans here. For creatures like the engulfers, with their amazing reproductive abilities and adaptability to the environment, this was their paradise.
The engulfers were not afraid of Ye Chong and his group, and walked past them in groups.
Ye Chong had expected the appearance of the red-tailed beasts in the five major galaxies. He was the first person to see the eight-fingered red-tailed beast with his own eyes.
"No one survived," Sang Kan said solemnly. This was the first time he saw the destruction of the red-tailed beasts, and he was shocked. From the broken buildings, it was easy to see how glorious the planet was in the past. Fortunately, there weren't many human skeletons here. They must have been evacuated or migrated in advance.
The worst damage was done to the energy cell production workshops. Not a single scrap was left of them. It was common knowledge that the red-tailed beasts had a high demand for energy. Ye Chong understood this better than the average person. In the five major galaxies, the red-tailed beasts could rob most of their resources of energy. In the five major galaxies, some of the better metals and minerals were in the hands of the leaders. These leaders might not be able to fight against the red-tailed beasts, but they were good at running. Besides, the rare metals in the five major galaxies were not as valuable as Darkniss.
Unfortunately, the red-tailed beasts were born to rob. If they had the technology to extract energy, they would be even more terrifying and difficult to defeat. Humans' ability to extract energy was inconceivable to other life forms. This was the limitation of the red-tailed beasts. They could not create, and could only grow by robbing. This caused the conflict between them and other creatures to be irreconcilable. Once they encountered creatures that were stronger than them, they would suffer a devastating blow. On the contrary, while humans looked weak, they were very resilient.
Everything here has been destroyed. Ye Chong could not find any useful information. What he needed to know now was the situation in the five major galaxies. How far had the battle between the red-tailed beasts and humans progressed?
Only then would they know which direction to go.
They did not know how many red-tailed beast "tribes" there were in the five major galaxies, and which territories they occupied.
In the end, they decided to go to Csebesini Galaxy. When Rui Bing was kidnapped and brought to He Yue Galaxy, Grandpa Qian and the rest lived there. Besides, Ye Chong also felt that Csebesini Galaxy was the most likely to be defended. This was purely from a geographical point of view.
Csebesini Star Zone was not the largest of the five major star zones, but it was connected to the other four star zones in all directions. Csebesini Galaxy was known as a neutral galaxy, and with its open policy, it attracted a large number of talented people. When the five major galaxies were in turmoil, Csebesini Galaxy became the only safe haven. A large number of people came to Csebesini Galaxy. In a short time, Csebesini Galaxy became the most populated galaxy among the five major galaxies. This was also the period when Csebesini Galaxy developed rapidly.
That was all Rui Bing knew. After that, she arrived at He Yue Galaxy.
"Sir, there's an enemy." Ye Chong received an alert just as he returned to Darkniss.
There was a squad of red-tailed beasts on the holographic screen. There were 28 of them. Ye Chong observed them carefully. These red-tailed beasts were much stronger than the ones he encountered on Darkniss, and even stronger than the ones he encountered on Yi Ju. None of the red-tailed beasts had less than four fingers. The leading red-tailed beast had five fingers. Back in Darkniss, a five-fingered beast could be the leader of a small "tribe", but here, it was only the leader of a squad.
The gap between them was enough to make one's heart jump.
They had become stronger.
The only thing that reassured Ye Chong was that the red-tailed beasts would need more energy and high-grade metals to evolve with each new claw they gained.
The red-tailed beasts did not notice Darkniss. They were too far away, and Darkniss was coated with a thick layer of colloid fungus extract.
Ye Chong did not dare to be careless in his first battle in the five major galaxies.
A hundred mechs launched their attack, and their commander was none other than Appilok, the commander of the entire fleet. This was enough to prove the importance of these 28 red-tailed beasts.
Appilok was not displeased with the order. He did not underestimate the small number of red-tailed beasts. They were all familiar with the hierarchy of the red-tailed beasts.
The 100 mechs formed an arc as they approached the 28 red-tailed beasts. The mechs were coated with colloid fungus extract, so the red-tailed beasts did not notice them.
However, the five-fingered red-tailed beast seemed to have sensed something. It glanced in Appilok's direction. It was too far away, so it did not notice Appilok. However, its movements were captured by the holographic scanning system. Everyone tensed up.
Appilok was calm, and did not waver in the slightest. The 28 red-tailed beasts were within their firing range, but he did not give the order to fire immediately. Instead, he ordered the fleet to advance slowly.
The 100 mechs moved like assassins in the dark, silent and undetectable.
In shooting, the distance between the enemy and the pilot was an important factor. It could determine the outcome of a battle. The closer the mech was, the higher the chance of hitting the target, but the more dangerous it was for the pilot. The further the distance, the lower the chance of hitting the target, but the safer the pilot was.
The holographic screen accurately calculated the distance between them and the red-tailed beasts. Appilok took a glance and ordered the fleet to stop.
What was the most troublesome thing about high-ranking red-tailed beasts? It was not their speed, nor their strength, but their incredible senses. This allowed them to avoid many attacks that could have been fatal.
Against such an enemy, the best way was to bombard it with firepower, so that the red-tailed beasts could not dodge.
Appilok was about to do just that. The 100 mechs raised their laser guns in their hands and quickly recharged.
Compared to the ship cannons, the laser gun recharged faster. Ordinary people could barely feel it, but the red-tailed beasts could feel it in that split second.
The red-tailed beasts scattered in all directions.
"Fire!" Appilok ordered calmly.
