Ancient Star Desert, a dead planet.
A green moonlight hung in the sky, and the cracked black earth was silent since ancient times. Not a single blade of grass grew on it, and there was not a single bit of greenery. Occasionally, some broken building debris could be seen in the ground, and the parts that were exposed were mottled with traces of wind erosion. The exquisite carvings were already blurred, and there were also broken statues planted on the ground. Some only had half a head left, and some only had half a body left.
This area seemed to be the ruins of an abandoned city that had been buried by time.
A small spaceship hovered one meter above the ground, emitting a light blue field that covered dozens of kilometers, providing long-range energy transmission and life-support functions. The spaceship's appearance was narrow at the front and wide at the back, and it was triangular in shape. It was silver and gold, and the emblems of the Supers Holy Land, Black Star Corps, and Floating Dragon Island were engraved on the outer armor. This was a special high-end spaceship that had not been mass-produced by the army's logistics department. It was equipped with all kinds of cutting-edge technology and could break through the fifth gear warp speed limit, reaching level 17.7. It was not cheap to build.
At this very moment, about five hundred meters below the spaceship's Pyrolyte Domain, two figures were slowly trekking through an underground maze-like ruin.
"This is the ruins of the capital of the Fifth Dynasty of Terrande, and it is also the last light of the Terrande people. Their civilization self-destructed at the end of the exploration era. Later, scavengers dug up some antiques, and the ruins of this civilization saw the light of day again. Speaking of which, they were also unlucky. They didn't expect that their home planet, which they relied on for survival, was once the hibernation of a group of interstellar beasts countless years ago. The awakening of the ancient beasts brought disaster to their civilization … "
Harrison caressed the blurry reliefs on the walls of the underground palace as he spoke. Jenny listened with great interest as she hugged her child. Her eyes sparkled with interest.
Jenny had already given birth to the child and rested on Floating Dragon Island for a few months. Harrison's desire for adventure had increased, and Jenny could not stay idle either. The two of them hit it off and used their connections to get a cutting-edge spaceship from the army's logistics department for free to play and explore.
Because of the child?
So it was not suitable to go to places that were too dangerous?
Therefore, Harrison decided to bring Jenny to archeology and specially joined the Spacetime Research Society for this?
Read a large number of books of lost civilizations?
He was determined to be a 'good tour guide'.
The three of them were now wearing the new generation of space exploration mechas produced by the army. Could they withstand all kinds of extreme environments?
The child's mecha was even more custom-made. It also had a series of functions such as mental stability, sleeping, automatic diaper-changing, and so on …
Harrison stopped in front of a row of broken statues.
He reached out and pointed.
He smiled and said,
"This is the underground palace that the last King Teslund built for the previous kings when he was young. In the eyes of ordinary people, he built it to commemorate the previous kings.
He built this underground palace?
In fact, it was to cover up a natural passage that went deep into the ground. There was a young ancient beast living in it. He wanted to tame it secretly and use this kind of power that was out of the norm to break the Regent's restraint on his power … It sounded very boring, right?
It was another boring political struggle in the palace, but what happened next?
You wouldn't have thought of it. "
"He accidentally awakened more ancient beasts and caused the destruction of the civilization?" Jenny was curious.
"Haha!
You guessed wrong. Did he awaken this ancient beast?
But fell in love with it?
Was it because of the ancient beast's special genes?
The closer the last King Teslund was to the ancient beast, the more mutated his bloodline became. In the end, he transformed into a new ancient beast during the court meeting and personally led the ancient beasts to destroy the capital … "
"Is this a love that transcends species? Or is it a spiritual hint from the ancient beasts? "
Jenny's eyes widened. Although interstellar love was common, it was still quite impactful to hear about it.
"That's not clear. Only the person involved knows." Harrison shook his head.
"Then what happened next?"
"Well, after that, the sleeping ancient beasts woke up one after another and escaped into space. The last King Teslund's whereabouts are unknown. Some say that he disappeared into space with the ancient beasts, while others say that he left behind the ruins of his mother planet with his partner, forever running freely in this dead land …"
"Sounds quite romantic." Jenny was a little unsatisfied.
"Haha, who knows, we might even find their corpses here. That's also the goal of our exploration this time."
Harrison laughed out loud.
The two of them chatted casually as they went deeper. Most of the time, it was Harrison talking, and Jenny listening. Not long later, they finally reached the end of the underground palace. There was a passage blocked by rocks here.
Harrison smashed the barrier with a punch, revealing a broken staircase that led downwards. He walked in with Jenny for a long time before reaching the end. It was a cavern-like space. The skeletons of two beasts were hugging each other as if they had died in each other's arms.
"Could this be the last King of Teslande and his partner?" Jenny was curious.
"I think so … Looks like they decided to stay here and accompany each other in eternal sleep."
Harrison's eyes sparkled. He took a series of videos before picking up a few bones and putting them away, planning to bring them back for research.
However, at this moment, the ground suddenly shook. The two of them felt the cave shaking, and the magnitude was gradually increasing. Soon, the ground was shaking.
Rumble!
The sound of the earth veins moving could be faintly heard. It was getting louder and louder, as if the earth was roaring.
"It's going to collapse?"
Harrison shuddered and immediately flew back the way they came with Jenny at an extremely fast speed.
However, halfway through, the entire underground palace suddenly collapsed.
Rumble!
Countless rocks fell, filling up all the gaps.
Looking down from above, the ground instantly collapsed, turning into a huge crater.
However, right at this moment, a force field with a faint green glow suddenly descended from the starry sky, tearing apart the surface of the earth and digging up the rocks.
Under the guidance of the force field, a round earth ball broke out of the ground and flew for a distance before finally landing beside the spaceship.
The dirt ball trembled, and the dirt and rocks on it fell off, revealing a round blue shield. Harrison and the other two's armor sensed the impact from the outside, and automatically activated the shield. This small incident could not cause any damage to them, and the three of them were unscathed.
At this moment, Ames, who was wearing a black dress, landed from the sky and floated in front of the three of them. She had a helpless look on her face as she said unhappily, "How could you be so careless?
I saw you guys buried alive as soon as I came. Since you brought the child, don't go to such a dangerous place. "
"Cough cough, it was an accident."
Harrison was embarrassed. Although they would not be injured in the collapse, it would still take some time for them to climb out. He did not expect Ames to see them, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Jenny did not have much of a reaction. She had been running outside with Harrison for more than a year and had been buried alive seven or eight times. She was already used to it since she would not be injured.
With extraordinary power, her definition of danger was definitely different from ordinary people. Jenny was not afraid of taking a small risk with the child. She asked curiously, "Sis, how did you find us?"
As soon as she said that, Philip suddenly appeared, sat on Ames' shoulder, and gave her a thumbs up.
"Of course, it's my credit. Hum, I can locate all the spaceships that the army sends out, hum ~"
"Alright, I almost forgot that Black Star gave you the authority to mobilize the army's artificial intelligence … Then, why did you come to find us personally? Can't you say anything through the comms? Why did you disturb our two person world?"
Jenny pouted.
Ames turned to look at the sleeping child in Jenny's arms, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. "I miss my nephew. Can't I come to see him? Quick, let me play with the child. "
"Don't even think about it! Don't you know how heavy your hands are? Every time I give him to you, you don't know how to cherish him at all. You don't care if he's not your child, right? "
Jenny immediately objected firmly. She turned to the side and protected the child in her arms.
However, Ames did not listen to her. Ignoring her objections, she casually controlled the force field and took the child from her arms. Then, she turned on the mechanical suit and used her fingers to pinch the child's chubby cheeks, waking the child up instantly. The child started crying.
"Hey! Be gentler! " Jenny grabbed Ames' arm and shouted at Harrison, "What are you still standing there for? Come and help! "
Harrison stood at the side with a bitter smile.
The sisters were fighting, so how would he dare to go up and help them?
"What do you know? I'm using my strength to help him clear his body and build a good physical foundation for him."
Ames ignored Jenny and kept rubbing the child's cheeks. However, although she controlled her strength, she did not have much parenting knowledge and still made the child cry non-stop.
Jenny was no match for Ames' strength. She panted at the side and could only come over to coax the child. Finally, the baby calmed down.
"Don't you not like children? Why are you always pestering me? "
"I didn't like them before, but it doesn't mean I don't like them now."
Ames did not even turn her head and continued to play with the child. Finally, the child started to giggle.
Jenny said unhappily, "If you like them, then give birth to one yourself. Why do you always play with my child?"
"What's the point? Don't you have one here?" Ames blinked.
Jenny's mouth twitched. Sometimes, she really could not stand Ames's willful and unrestrained style.
She was speechless for a while and suddenly asked curiously,
"Speaking of which, have you thought about it? Do you want to have a child with Black Star? He's mentioned it more than once, but you haven't responded to him."
"… I haven't thought about it yet. Let's think about it again." Ames was a little hesitant.
"My good sister, how long have you been thinking about it?" Jenny was speechless. "Although you have a long lifespan, there has to be a result. It's just that Black Star spoils you. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would have even created a clan at this age. "
Upon hearing that, Ames glanced at her and clicked her tongue in wonder. "Weren't you always unwilling for me to accept Black Star? Why are you urging me to have children with him now?"
Jenny curled her lips and did not speak.
In the past, she was indeed unhappy that Han Xiao and Ames were together, but now that she even had a child, she could not wait for Han Xiao to make Ames unable to get out of bed every day so that she could give birth to a happy child. That way, she and the child would not be harassed by Ames.
Buzz —
At that moment, the space fluctuated slightly, and Han Xiao stepped out of nothingness and teleported over.
"Hmm? Why are you here too? "Ames looked over and was a little surprised.
"You borrowed Philip's authority, so of course I received the news." Han Xiao shrugged.
"Then why are you here?" Ames narrowed her eyes and said in an inexplicable tone. She still remembered what happened last time and was a little emotional.
"I'm done with my business for the time being, so I came to accompany you." Han Xiao smiled.
"Do you think I need you to accompany me now?" Ames raised Jenny's child in her hand and snorted softly.
Han Xiao looked down at the child and saw Jenny give him a look. He immediately strode forward, picked up the child's clothes, and put him in Jenny's hand. He smiled and said, "Since you like children so much, let's have one too."
"You're doing it again?" Ames's eyes wandered. "Didn't I reject you before?"
Han Xiao hugged Ames's waist as if there was no one else around. He chuckled and said, "I'll ask you how many times you reject me until you agree."
"Humph, shameless … I thought a big shot like you wouldn't be obsessed with having children. I didn't expect you to be so vulgar."
Ames didn't break free from Han Xiao's embrace. She only placed her hands on Han Xiao's chest and leaned back slightly to prevent him from coming closer.
Han Xiao pondered for a few seconds before speaking in a low voice from the bottom of his heart. "The world is full of ups and downs. No matter who we are, we need something to anchor our existence. Be it ideals, beliefs, or feelings … I've already made the choice to let everything enter a new era and make us unique existences. There won't be a cycle of reinforcements, so I don't know what the future will be like. I just hope that I have one more thing to rely on in this world so that I can never forget you."
"Yo, how rare. You actually know how to coax me … Don't you remember me well enough?"
"Isn't it better if it's deeper?"
"… Are you flirting with me?"
"Of course. What do you think my hands are doing?"
The two of them had been intimate countless times and were not shy at all. As they exchanged glances, their words became more and more explicit.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Harrison and Jenny had already secretly boarded the spaceship. They hurriedly started the engine, and the thrusters spewed out flames as they quickly took off and fled.
Very soon, the spaceship left outer space, and the planet was getting further and further away.
However, before Harrison could catch his breath, the planet behind him suddenly shook violently. The surface of the planet shattered, and a huge crater that could be seen from outer space was blasted out. The shockwave swept out, sending countless stones and sand flying as if it had been hit by an unbearable impact.
Immediately after, the planet seemed to have suffered continuous invisible attacks. The surface of the planet caved in, and the entire crust shattered like an eggshell. All the material collapsed toward the center, and the surface became riddled with holes. Blazing red lava gushed out from them.
"These two b * stards really treat us as if we don't exist …"
Jenny was angry and excited. She was so excited that she wanted to see the world burn. Her face was red as she cheered them on in her heart, wishing that the two of them could use more strength.
However, the next moment, a blinding light burst out, and the planet exploded!
Boom!
The intense energy current spread out and caught up to the tail of the spaceship. It even broke the protective shield and sent the spaceship flying. It spun in space and flew out.
After a while, the spaceship stabilized itself.
Harrison wiped his cold sweat and looked back at the apocalyptic scene of the planet exploding. He swallowed quietly with a complicated expression.
"Luckily, we ran fast enough … It's a pity that these ruins are gone …"
