Gong Zhushen was also a bit overwhelmed by the noise, but he handled these matters with ease and soon got rid of everyone.
The video was successfully streamed live, and the chat was flooded with comments like "666" and "nb". The live stream was also recorded by many people and uploaded to various video websites and social media platforms under different names.
The names of Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu were mentioned frequently, even surpassing the popularity of the most popular celebrities.
At the Anti-Imperial Alliance's Satellite Base No. 3, Hu Qiang, the person in charge, angrily crushed her thermos cup when she saw the edited video of Ruan Mingchu brought to her by her subordinates.
That's quite glamorous!
When Hu Qiang received news of Li Ye's disappearance, Qiao Du had already been arrested. That damned Qiao Du covered up Li Ye's whereabouts, leaving Hu Qiang completely in the dark and only able to wait for her subordinates to investigate.
After learning that Li Ye's disappearance was due to the Omega Ruan Mingchu, she ordered someone to investigate Ruan Mingchu. Unexpectedly, her subordinates misunderstood her meaning and thought that she had taken a fancy to this beautiful Omega.
The things they brought him all talked about how good-looking and excellent he was.
Hu Qiang is furious.
In the end, the five teams joined forces and used Mode 1 to take the position of deputy commander. They agreed that each team would take turns helping each other for one day, allowing the deputy commander position to rotate among the five teams.
If the competition lasts for ten days, then the first and tenth days are played by the same team, the second and ninth days are played by the same team, and so on.
They tried to save the task for the day they became deputy regimental commanders before submitting it.
I thought the competition would continue peacefully, even though the teams were constantly vying for points, but overall there wouldn't be any major problems.
However, the return of a seriously injured school team shattered this peace.
After lying in the medical pod for most of the day, they finally recovered, but they were still a bit weak and needed to rest.
The team leader explained the situation they had encountered to everyone.
Every day they receive one S-level mission and many miscellaneous C-level and D-level missions.
The eleven of them, working together, always managed to achieve their S-rank mission objectives, and this time was no exception.
After they cut out the locations required for the mission, they rested for a short while before preparing to do the C-level and D-level missions.
That's where they met their demise.
As the captain spoke, his voice trembled slightly, and his face and eyes were filled with lingering fear.
"We almost didn't make it back..."
After they had killed many star beasts and were almost finished with their mission, the corpses of those star beasts started moving again.
"We are used to using knives to slit throats and kill people."
Most of the star beasts that died under their blades were decapitated. But those star beast corpses seemed to have mutated, with their heads and bodies stuck back together, and strange things like bone spurs, armor, and slime growing on their bodies.
"They became very strong, and they cooperated with each other as if they were being commanded by a commander."
"If they hadn't suddenly left for some unknown reason, we would never have been able to come back."
Because of this, all teams are prohibited from leaving the area, the competition is suspended, and they are awaiting news from the military.
"Sigh, I wonder how this competition will be settled in the end."
"No matter how you calculate it, you shouldn't be number one."
"Pooh."
"Ah, eating in the cafeteria is so wonderful! I love the cafeteria!"
"I hope nothing serious happens."
...
Everyone was stuck in the camp, and until a new solution was issued, all they could do each day was chat and train.
Ruan Minh Thu had left the camp that very day to search for the strange star beast corpse that the military academy student had mentioned in the vast desert.
However, he searched the entire planet but still found no trace. If it weren't for the real scars on their bodies, Ruan Mingchu would have thought it was just a dream, not reality.
He couldn't be found anywhere, and the search team sent by the military was even less likely to find him. But it was a real place, and the danger was too great, so the league organizing committee decided to end the border tournament early.
Anyway, this whole thing was something Rong Zhiming insisted on doing. If there's any danger, we'll just stop and wait until we get back to continue with the regular matches.
But Nguyen Minh Thu could not simply leave. If he did not address the issue promptly and instead let it fester into a disaster, the trouble would fester in the shadows.
After thinking for a moment, he dialed Rong Zhiming's number.
Rong Zhiming appeared to be training; he was wearing a tight vest, and sweat streamed down his bronze skin, exuding the allure of a mature man.
"What's wrong, Your Highness? Did you miss me?" Rong Zhiming winked.
Ruan Mingchu found it unbearable to look at.
"Get everyone out of here within a day."
If nothing can be found on the surface, then the only option is to search underground. Thinking of the research institute buried deep underground, Ruan Mingchu's mood was not very bright.
“We can withdraw,” Rong Zhiming said with a troubled expression, “but you have to give me a reason, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to my subordinates.”
This planet was occupied by humans after they drove out the alien beasts. All its resources were exhausted by the alien beasts, leaving it with no intrinsic value. Stationing troops here provides land, oxygen, and sunlight, but the primary purpose is to prevent the alien beasts from entering the country.
Ruan Mingchu's expression was cold: "This is an order."
A superior can give an order to a subordinate without needing any reason.
"Received." Rong Zhiming cursed under his breath. Seeing Ruan Mingchu hang up, he threw the terminal on the table and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Cold water splashed on my head, making a loud pattering sound.
Mu Yu, who was staying in the tent, went to greet Ruan Mingchu as soon as he saw her return. Although he did not say anything, Ruan Mingchu saw concern in his eyes.
Ruan Mingchu really wanted to pat his little head, and once again felt dissatisfied with his current height.
He ate the snacks Mu Yu gave him for a while and filled his stomach.
Ruan Mingchu said to Mu Yu, "They should be leaving here today. Keep an eye on them and try not to leave the dormitory when you get back to Satellite 10."
Mu Yu nodded. He didn't ask why, but only asked, "And what about you?"
Ruan Mingchu: "I'll stay here a few more days. I won't feel at ease until I find those star beast corpses."
He paused, then added, "I'll be back as soon as possible."
Mu Yu hummed in agreement. Actually, he wanted to ask why, with so many soldiers around, a student like him was left here to investigate, but his personality prevented him from asking.
Yet another... another opportunity to discover the truth has been missed.
Not long after Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu finished their conversation, their terminals received a message instructing them to pack their things and assemble at 5 p.m. sharp to return to Satellite No. 10.
Everyone packed their things in silence, not expecting to leave so soon.
Every team has improved, and the bonds between teammates have strengthened and deepened. These past few days, they've fought side-by-side, entrusted each other with their backs, and even taken injuries for one another. They've also searched for food together, and together they've made things that were barely edible and forced them on each other.
It was tough when I was going through it, but now I kind of miss it.
At 4:40, nine people, including Gong Zhushen and Ding Junji, gathered in the living room of the camp.
Mu Yu walked out of the room with his bag on his back. After seeing that everyone was there, he took the lead and walked out: "Let's go."
"Hey?" Gong Zhushen jogged after him. "Where's Brother Ruan?"
"He—" Mu Yu hesitated for a moment, instinctively not wanting to mention that Ruan Mingchu had gone to investigate the star beast corpse. After thinking for a while, he said, "His heat is coming soon, so he won't be with us."
"Oh, right, I almost forgot that Brother Ruan is an Omega."
After walking a few steps, Gong Zhushen asked again, "Brother Mu, aren't you going to keep Brother Ruan company?"
Mu Yu stopped and glared at Gong Zhushen, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gong Zhushen quickly covered his mouth, "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." He thought to himself, "We're always practically inseparable, are we still not officially together? This is too slow."
Mu Yu walked quickly with his head down and face flushed, hoping that Ruan Mingchu would not discover his fabricated lie when he returned.
Watching the warships take off one after another until the last one entered space, Ruan Mingchu withdrew his gaze.
Not long after, he received a message that Ruan Yueyi had arrived at the designated location and was awaiting instructions.
Ruan Mingchu began to release his spiritual power, which radiated outwards from him and stopped when it covered one-eighth of the planet.
Using a net-like structure formed by mental energy, it began to descend, passing through the surface and entering the lithosphere.
The resistance in the lithosphere is much greater than in air, yet it still cannot stop the speed at which his mental energy descends. He scans inch by inch until he reaches the mantle, at which point he stops.
Finding no problems in this area, Ruan Mingchu quickly withdrew his mental energy to scan the next one-eighth of the ball.
What puzzled him was that there were no traces of human intervention underground on the entire planet.
it's out of the question.
Ruan Minhchu found the address of the former command center of the 48th Army. The buildings on the ground were still intact, only appearing somewhat desolate due to the absence of people.
After confirming with Rong Zhiming, it was found that there should be an underground structure—a geothermal furnace—200 meters underground, used to supply the hot water needs of the entire army.
Instead of using his mental power, Ruan Mingchu went to find the entrance to the geothermal furnace's maintenance access channel in person.
But there was no door in that place, and no passage below.
Rong Zhiming looked at the place Ruan Mingchu had shown him, scratched his head, and exclaimed, "Impossible!"
"The geothermal furnace was still running a second before they left!"
The anomaly could only have occurred after everyone left. Seeing that he could no longer obtain any useful information, Ruan Mingchu ruthlessly hung up the communication.
Rong Zhiming: ...Damn it, use it and then throw it away.
Then, in Ruan Mingchu's eyes, all traces of humanity gradually disappeared—buildings, machinery… everything, like a painting being erased from a canvas.
No wonder he couldn't find any trace of those star beast corpses. Before long, this planet will also disappear into the universe, just like these vanished buildings.
Nguyen Minh Thu wandered through the vast desert.
A gust of wind blew by, and sand and dust covered the sky.
He spent half a day wandering around here, without any particular purpose, just wanting to take another look at this planet that was about to perish.
He already knew the reason for the anomaly.
The divine talent skill [Nurture], which was once recorded in history but was later shelved.
A skill that can only be used once in a lifetime; after use, the skill will disappear from the person's body.
Its function is to revive dead organisms by exchanging enough energy. This energy can be any energy-containing substance, and everything in the world has energy, such as inorganic matter like ores and sand, as well as living organisms like animals, plants, and humans.
The energy required varies depending on the individual being resurrected. Historically, a lord sacrificed 300 million of his people to resurrect his Omega lover.
