After Sheyan returned to the room, Aldaris asked.
"Who's talking outside?"
Sheyan smiled and said, "It's a big guy.
"It's a big guy, he wants us to gather at the meeting hall. Do you know where that place is?"
Aldaris sneered.
"It's that big guy called Hedi Curry, right? The big fool who's afraid that someone else will take away his position as captain. Follow the corridor outside our door all the way to the end, and you'll see a sign that leads to the conference hall. "
Sheyan asked curiously.
"Aren't you going?"
Aldaris waved his hand impatiently.
"Ever since Obama was re-elected as president for five terms, I've been staying away from any dirty election occasions."
"Huh??!" Sheyan immediately understood the meaning of Aldaris's words. "You mean Hedi Curry is convening the meeting in his own name?"
"The officials will directly use the communicator in the room to inform us," Aldaris rolled his eyes. "It wouldn't be surprising if they used the nightmare imprint to inform us."
Sheyan thought for a moment and said, "I still have to take a look.
"However, I still decided to go and take a look. This is a great opportunity to understand the surrounding environment."
Aldaris did not even bother to say anything more. He made a 'please' gesture. Fortunately, Sheyan had dealt with this guy many times before. Otherwise, he might have been angered to death by him.
But just as Sheyan was about to step out of the door, Aldaris suddenly asked in a low and rapid voice.
"How's Zi doing now?"
Sheyan raised his head and glanced at Aldaris. He suddenly found that there was an indescribable gentleness hidden in the depths of this man's heart, so Sheyan smiled. It was not until Aldaris was annoyed by Sheyan's smile that he finally said, "She's fine.
"She's fine. More importantly, if any of us die in this godforsaken place, then she'll be in a terrible state. So you have to be careful not to die. "
"I won't die even if your body gets moldy and maggots grow on it. Get out of my sight! I hate it when people preach to me! "Aldaris immediately roared.

Sheyan closed the door and returned to the quiet and tidy corridor. After walking a few steps, he discovered that the huge green potted plants in the corridor were a little strange. They didn't seem to be simple ornaments. He couldn't help but squat down to carefully examine them.
Although Sheyan only dabbled in the scientific knowledge of plants as an amateur, the 'Stairway of the Sun' in his body could use its tentacles to analyse the structure and form of many plants. But at that moment, footsteps came from afar. Sheyan stood up and turned his head, only to see a man in his thirties wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a white coat walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"Great Lord, I finally found a friend with the same interests in this dreary place! I'm Dardanian, a Plant Summoner! "
Sheyan naturally wouldn't reject the enthusiasm of others. He stretched out his hand.
"Seaman, Apothecary, Strength Growth-Hunter. Nice to meet you."
Dardanian was suddenly enlightened.
"No wonder you've studied plants. I thought I was the only one who knew about this improved great plant. It's one of the two most dazzling inventions in the past three thousand years, along with the photon engine."
Sheyan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that.
"It's that amazing?"
Dardanian immediately answered seriously.
"Yes! This plant is called Omnipotent Grass. Its main function is to convert the carbon dioxide exhaled by the humans on the spaceship into oxygen. At the same time, it absorbs the negative energy of the universe while keeping the air fresh and fragrant! The hundreds of thousands of pots of all-purpose grass in this pyramid can perfectly replace the air conditioners and gas transmission pipes, supporting the breathing of hundreds of thousands of people living in it. Even if the cost of the materials is negligible, the space saved is a valuable asset! "
"Secondly, don't you see any common insects here? Moths, mosquitoes, cockroaches? Because Omnipotent Grass can also destroy them? Besides, human excrement is the best fertilizer for Omnipotent Grass …. The growth cycle of Omnipotent Grass is very fast, and while it's growing, its fruit is rich in oil that can be compared to corn oil after a little refining. After its thick leaves are processed, it tastes like a medium-rare steak when placed in a sandwich …. "
While Dardanian was fully demonstrating his eloquence and knowledge, the two had already walked a long way and arrived at the meeting room. It seemed that Hedi Curry's possibly fabricated title of 'Captain' had some effect. There were already five people in the room. Including Sheyan and Dardanian, there were seven of them.
Obviously, Hedi Curry showed great enthusiasm and welcome to the two of them, because Sheyan had just learned from Dardanian that the total number of people in the team this time was twelve, and there was still one person who had not arrived yet.
More importantly, it was obvious that Hedi Curry was so enthusiastic because he was being competed with. This was the so-called catfish effect. Putting aside the eccentric Aldaris and the guy who had not arrived yet, it should be easy to calculate that there should be three people in a group trying to compete with Hedi Curry for command.
In this case, Sheyan and Dardanian suddenly became very important. If they joined the other three people in the group, the two sides would be evenly matched, with a score of 5: 5.
Now that Sheyan and Dardanian had chosen this side, that was to say, Hedi Curry had gained the approval of more than half of the people so far. Even if the guy who did not come was an X-factor, the result would not change.
"Since you're here, we're all on the same side! Brothers! " Hedi Curry was so excited that he waved his arms like a rock singer, slamming the sturdy table with his fists.
"I'm a powerful MT. I'll block all dangers in front of me! More importantly, I'm a fair man! Time will prove that you've made the right choice, and the corpses of those liars will rot in the soil of Uplos. "
After that, Hedi Curry took out a large amount of wine from his personal storage and cheered loudly.
"Let's have a big party!"
***
Two hours later, the last piece of the puzzle was completed. The person who had not arrived had finally passed the inspection and arrived at Alps Base 7. He was unfortunate enough to encounter a particle storm on his way here and was slightly injured as a result.
Nevertheless, Sheyan and Dardanian still received a notice to assemble for a meeting at 8: 30 in the evening. As Aldaris had said, the message was delivered through the communicator, and it was only a brief message. There was no mention of what would happen if they were late.
Sheyan smelled an ominous scent from the message like a hunting dog. This was obviously a sign that someone was waiting for someone to make a mistake and run into the muzzle of the gun! Therefore, Sheyan did not hesitate to ask Aldaris to come along. He took care of everything at 8: 00, then waited until 8: 20 and arrived at the meeting room one minute earlier.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was so heavy that it felt like water could be squeezed out of it. After receiving permission to enter, Sheyan walked in and found that everyone was already present, and they could only stand. There were three people on the rostrum in front of them. The Dark General stood on the left, while the man in the middle had thick eyebrows, a bald head, and a striking scar on his face. He looked murderous and was dressed in a well-ironed military uniform. He was also a Major General. The man on the right had long slender fingers and a sickly pale skin. He was wearing a different military uniform, but he was also at the back. He was the most inconspicuous of the three.
"I'm General Mungo! Your vacation is now over. It has been confirmed that the frequent cosmic tides have arrived, and the route to Uplos has become even more dangerous, so the original three-day training plan has been put on hold. We'll be boarding in 15 minutes. The war theatre staff has specially assigned a special-class Captain, Ruse, to us. He'll be piloting the Alps Base 7 II-class mothership, the Kitty Hawk. He'll be able to send us all the way to the star system closest to Uplos. I believe that'll solve all our worries. "
"According to the news from the frontline, the route to Uplos has been severely damaged by the cosmic tides, so we'll spend at least three days on the road. Therefore, the training plan we've drawn up will be carried out on the way."
General Mungo was a very imposing person. As he spoke, he pressed his hands on the table. He did not press his palms flat, but like a ferocious beast that approached its enemy step by step with its claws when it was hunting. His body was slightly leaned forward, and he was so unyielding that no one dared to question him.
"Does anyone have a question? Can you ask now? Three, two, one, OK, let's go! "
***
It had been four days since they left the huge Alps Base 7.
During these four days, Sheyan had learned a lot of things.
First of all, the people who formed this temporary team were, without exception, all elites, and their allocation was quite reasonable. This was the most gratifying fact.
Sheyan was also surprised to find that he was an apothecary. As a strength-based MT, once he rushed up to the enemy, he would have to take the opportunity to break through the enemy's formation. In the eyes of others, this was not an easy task.
But to Sheyan's relief, his identity as an MT was indeed well hidden. His nightmare realm must have helped him, because in addition to Hedi Curry, there was another guy named Alan who was also an MT!
The reason for this was simple. In a twelve-man team, having two MTs was considered prudent, but having three MTs was a waste. Everyone knew that going too far was as bad as falling short.
