The day when the earth will end,
The boundless light engulfed the world,
But at that moment, I saw
Billions of lives, regardless of care, rushed towards me—

Buzz…
Huo Xianfeng woke up to a slight vibration.
He curled up with his hands on his knees, like a baby in its mother's womb.
My heavy eyelids slowly opened, and what I saw was a sticky darkness without a single light.
who I am
Huo Xianfeng's blank and stagnant brain finally began to think slowly.
where is this place
He stretched out his hand, groped forward, and soon touched the edge of this "world".
It is cold, hard, and has an inward-concave arc surface.
There are curved surfaces all around.
This space seems to be an egg...
Huo Xianfeng stroked the cold eggshell and could clearly feel the subtle vibrations outside.
He closed his eyes, and his mental power poured out, penetrating the cold eggshell, passing over the rapidly fleeing starship, and like ripples caused by a stone falling into a lake, it suddenly went away in all directions.
At this moment, the exploding artillery fire was like roaring waves, filling the entire night sky. In the center of the ground, a huge monument to heroes was a thousand feet high, and it was dyed a bloody color in the firelight.
boom!
The fleeing starship was hit by a bullet and fell suddenly from the sky like a flaming meteorite.
Inside the starship, the feeling of weightlessness swept through Huo Xianfeng's brain at this moment, accompanied by a strong dizziness. This made him quickly realize that he was falling rapidly.
At an altitude of ten thousand meters, without any defensive equipment, even an S-class alpha would be smashed to pieces.
"Confirmed to have hit the target, the starship is 98.69% damaged, and the chance of survival is estimated to be as low as 0.001%."
At the same time, thousands of miles away, seeing the target crash, the red standard mecha finally closed its gun with satisfaction. The mechanical electronic sound sounded in the mecha cockpit, followed by a frivolous whistle.
"These poachers are so ignorant that they dare to run wild here at the Monument to the Heroes."
Lin Jin was in a good mood. He raised the corners of his lips.
"You disturbed the rest of the heroic spirit and you still want to escape from my hands, Lin Jin. You are just dreaming."
As the name suggests, interstellar poachers are criminals who make a living by illegally exploring the remains of lost civilizations in the interstellar space. Most of these people are generally extremely vicious and skilled.
The ancient Earth, which was slain by an insect swarm and destroyed by a nuclear bomb explosion three hundred years ago, has become a place very favored by these people.
Although poachers are common on this Death Star, those who dare to steal to the center of the ancient battlefield ruins are rare.
There is no other reason, just because this is the burial place of billions of heroes.
—It is also the tomb of Huo Chao, the Marshal of the Old Alliance.
Just as Lin Jin finished his complacent speech, the veterans' laughter and scolding could be heard from the communication channel.
"I say, Second Young Master Lin, you are so arrogant. I don't know who made the mistake just now, which allowed the target to escape the encirclement."
"Don't run around. I don't know if there are other poachers out there. You're such a delicate alpha. If you get caught, you can't say what will happen."
"Ha ha ha ha… "
Upon hearing this, a meaningful laugh suddenly rang out in the communication channel.
In this era when omegas are extremely rare, even D-level omegas are protected at all times. Most vicious thugs can only choose Betas to vent their anger.
However, although most alphas would be disgusted by pheromones of the same sex, or even feel threatened, it is rumored that there are also a very small number of extremely vicious perverts who would have unspeakable desires for alphas.
Veterans in the army love to use this kind of thing to scare new recruits.
Especially, this young master who entered through the back door—
"New soldier, for the sake of your butt, you'd better go back to your capital planet as soon as possible, hahahahaha..."
"… "
Hold!
Lin Jin pressed the team communication channel hard: "Wait a few years, and I will beat you one by one!"
They are just a bunch of old-timers who are taking advantage of their age. What are they so proud of?!
The red standard mecha left the team, drove at full speed, and chased in the direction of the starship crash. A few minutes later, Lin Jin stopped above the sea of fire where the starship crashed, turned on the detector and searched for something.
"Tsk, it's a little off again. I was planning to keep him alive for questioning."
Lin Jin frowned. "Damn it. I've been here for several months and finally got a chance to practice combat. Now I'm going to be laughed at by those old bastards for several days."
As soon as the voice fell, a mechanical sound suddenly sounded
"Attention! Detected..."
boom!!!
Before the mechanical voice finished its announcement, a violent collision caused the mecha's blood-red warning lights to instantly light up.
"Warning! Warning! Hatch damaged... Degree... 8... 87%... Intrusion..."
The moment the intermittent electronic sound disappeared, a hand holding a sharp white fragment pressed against Lin Jin's throat from behind.
"Varied… "
Lin Jin's eyes widened instantly, but all his words were suddenly blocked by the stinging pain in his neck. The sharp edge cut through the young man's skin, oozing out a thin line of blood.
"Sh ...
A hoarse male voice sounded in my ears without any warning.
It was clearly just a gentle breath, but at that moment, Lin Jin's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He subconsciously wanted to swallow his saliva, but the sharp weapon on his neck forced Lin Jin to raise his head and stand there in a humiliating manner.
The person behind him had a damp smell, and he didn't look like he had just come out of a fire. Instead, he looked like... he had crawled out of a nutrient solution tank.
—Lin Jin had such a weird idea.
"You... the Skynet barrier has already been opened. Even if you take me as a hostage, you can't escape."
If the other party just wanted to seize the mecha and escape, he could have just killed him directly. But now, it is obvious that he wants to take him hostage.
"Sky...Net?"
Huo Xianfeng was stunned for a moment and looked up into the sky.
I saw that the sky, which was originally dyed red by the artillery fire, suddenly lit up with a blue light, like a layer of gentle water waves, covering the whole world.
—Very beautiful.
Huo Xianfeng looked at the sky and was so fascinated that for some reason, he always felt that it seemed familiar.
"That, is Skynet?"
The slightly rising ending of his tone expressed a very slight doubt.
It wasn't fear or anxiety, or anger or panic, but confusion, as if he had never heard of Skynet.
"Um... yeah, that's it."
Lin Jin's expression showed a bit of strangeness. The poacher's pronunciation was strange and unnatural, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. He suppressed the strangeness in his heart and tried to tense his body, trying to delay time.
He glanced at the screen in front of him, trying to see the person behind him through the reflection, but no matter how he looked for the angle, the person's face was always hidden in the shadow.
Lin Jin could only vaguely see the other person's hand holding the sharp weapon.
He originally thought that what was pressed against his neck should be a dagger, but he didn't expect that it was actually a piece of white fragment. He couldn't tell what material it was made of, but it was extremely sharp.
However, the other person's hands were much smaller than he had imagined, slender and clean. They were completely different from those rough alpha men in the military camp and the ferocious poachers in the legend.
Huo Xianfeng didn't pay attention to the other party's wild thoughts. When he fell to the ground just now, he took a general look at the environment on the ground. It was obvious that this was an abandoned death star. There was no need to build such a strong defense.
"Why... build this?"
Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his pronunciation and punctuation seemed a little strange.
Lin Jin showed a surprised look: "Of course... to fulfill Marshal Huo Chao's last wish."
Three hundred years ago, billions of Zerg invaded and humanity was faced with a catastrophe that destroyed the world. Marshal Huo Chao proposed the Skynet Project, which, once completed, would be the most powerful defensive wall in human history. Unfortunately, the Earth fell before it was completed.
Today, this Skynet is a replica built at great expense by the church in memory of Huo Chao.
This should be common sense known to everyone. Lin Jin was so nervous that he could only think of these words to delay time. However, unexpectedly, the other party listened very seriously, as if he was completely unaware of it.
"What about that?"
Huo Xianfeng's gaze fell on the huge white stone tablet in the distance.
Lin Jin was really surprised now: "Monument to the Heroes, you don't know?"
"The names of all the soldiers are engraved on it to commemorate the heroes who sacrificed their lives to resist the Zerg army."
"Monument to the Heroes..."
Huo Xianfeng muttered to himself, he was only a few dozen meters high, and when he looked at the huge tombstone that was a thousand meters high, it was like looking up at a towering tower that soared into the sky.
The smoke reflected the blood-red cannon fire, surrounding the tombstones of hundreds of millions of dead souls in circles, appearing particularly heroic and tragic.
He suddenly asked, "Will everyone's name be on it?"
"?"
After all, his life was in the hands of the other party, so the bad-tempered Second Young Master of the Lin family still answered with gritted teeth.
"Yes, everyone's name is engraved on it."
"I see..."
Lin Jin couldn't see the man's face, but he could hear a hint of sadness and happiness in his tone.
The strange doubts piled up more and more, even making Lin Jin doubt whether this person was a poacher. But now was not the time to think about those things, he just had to delay for a while...
"Ding-"
The red light inside the mecha suddenly disappeared, and a soft blue light appeared instead. Even the usually cold mechanical sound suddenly became a little more eerily soft.
"Driver permissions reset successfully."
"It is detected that the mental power threshold is too high. The mecha data is being readjusted for you."
When Lin Jin saw the driver's profile picture change from himself to a completely black one, he was so shocked that his brain even went blank for a moment.
"You... you actually..."
-Only when the mental power domain reaches the S level can it be possible to directly plunder the control authority of the mecha.
And that's still a probability of no more than 5%.
Lin Jin finally began to examine the mysterious man behind him. There were only a handful of people with such terrifying mental power values in the entire empire, and all of them were famous figures.
How could this person be a simple poacher
Lin Jin showed an unprecedented surprise: "What on earth do you want to do?!"
"Um… "
Huo Xianfeng glanced at the tattered coat he had hastily stripped off the corpse, then looked at Lin Jin's brand new combat uniform.
"Please lend me some more clothes."
"ah?"
The next second, the zipper was very smoothly closed.
From the back of Lin Jin's neck, along the spine, all the way to the waist.
"…?"
"????"
This action is too suggestive.
Lin Jin was stunned for two seconds, and his mind instantly recalled the dirty words that those boring old soldiers had used to scare him.
In an instant, all the blood in his body rushed to his brain. Lin Jin even ignored the threat of death that was hanging over his neck. He turned around suddenly and punched.
"You fucking... pervert!"
Although Lin Jin was just a newly assigned recruit, he was an A-level alpha after all. When he was furious, his fists were extremely sharp, like a blade.
Huo Xianfeng subconsciously took back the small piece of eggshell that was against the young man's throat. He had no intention of killing anyone, he just wanted to find someone to ask about the situation.
—Why are you suddenly angry
Huo Xianfeng didn't think it through, but his body reacted first.
He raised his hand to block it.
Snapped!
It was like an adult grabbing a child's fist as easily as if he were the adult, twisting his elbow and suppressing it with one hand.
boom!
In almost the blink of an eye, the second young master's neck was pinched tightly and his handsome face slammed hard on the console.
"…?"
what happened
His eyes still showed the anger from before, but gradually they revealed a bit of confusion.
"ah… "
Huo Xianfeng blinked unconsciously.
"You just did this suddenly, it scared me a little."
There was a hint of accusation in his tone.
Lin Jin, who was pinned to the console, said: "...?"
"???"
Who scared whom? ! !
